"Retreating to Phi Island is a good move. Now we are leaving by boat. They won't know where we have gone, even if they know. The Tatars have no navy, so they will not attack us rashly.

It's appropriate to report it to the court. At least the head of Tong Yangzhen is worth some money. If we want to continue to live in the future, we can't do it without money. But! We won't leave after we stop on Pidao."

"Don't leave? Are we going to live on the island?" Mangui's eyes widened. When he thought of having to face the sea every day, Mangui had the urge to hit the wall.

"Liaodong is chaotic enough! But let me tell you, going out to join the officialdom is even more fucking chaotic than Liaodong. They kill people with soft knives. You don't know how you died until the day you die. Civil servants never kill people.

It's bloodless. Are you sure you want to be an official?" Li Xiao looked at Man Guiyin and smiled.

"If you don't go, you won't go even to death. Even if you're the damn commander-in-chief, you'll be shunned by others. I don't have a good head, so I'll definitely kill people with all my might. Let's forget about dealing with those sons of bitches!

"Mangui's head was shaking like a rattle. He really couldn't pee in the same pot as those civil servants.

"That's right! But since the imperial court has appointed officials, we can't refuse them."

"Brother Xiao, what do you mean? Please explain it clearly, I can't wrap my head around it." Man Gui said extremely depressed.

"It means, we want the official position. Even if you are made a fucking general, we will still accept it. But! We will be the official officer on Pi Island! If I have the ability to get money, we will do it on Pi Island

Recruit troops and horses.

What are troubled times? In troubled times, whoever has the big fist and the toughest fist has the final say. From now on, we will use our fists to create a world. Emperor Hongwu was also a beggar with his bare buttocks."

"Brother Xiao! Are you going to rebel?" Ao Canghai asked in fear. Even though he knew that there was no fourth person here, he still looked around with guilty eyes. The Ming Dynasty's methods towards those who rebelled were not ordinary cruel.

.

As a member of the Liaodong Cavalry, he participated in quelling the Kuaibai rebellion in Ningxia. The tragic situation after Ningxia's city was broken is still vivid in his mind.

"You don't want to rebel, but you can't watch the Tatars do whatever they want on the land of our Han people. Mr. Ao! No matter how good they are at fighting, the white-armed soldiers and the Qi army can fight. But look, what happened to them in the end. Even

There is no one to collect the corpses!

Is it possible to defeat the Tatars just by relying on the officials of the imperial court? If Zhu Wanliang had joined forces with the Qi family army, General Qi, and General Zhou, they would not have died. The officials who came immediately to flatter him would do nothing but add insult to injury and refuse to save them.

We must recruit troops and use our own strength to destroy the Tatars. As for the emperor, if he is worthy of us, we will respect him as emperor. If...! Hey!"

"I have a straight heart. As long as Brother Xiao, you can lead your brothers to live a good life. I didn't say anything to Man Gui!" Man Gui's idea is much simpler. All national justice is bullshit to him. As long as his brothers

As long as he can live a good life, he doesn't care who reigns supreme and becomes emperor.

When he joined the army, his purpose was very simple. It was not to reimburse the court, nor to be loyal to the emperor. He simply wanted to have enough to eat. Now he leads a group of brothers who have been through life and death. He still does not forget his original intention!

"Hahaha! I promise, they will live a good life. Three years, give me three years. After three years, they want to be soldiers and fight. Then they will be soldiers and fight. If they want to farm and herd sheep, then they will farm.

They will grow old, sick and die, and I will take care of everything for the rest of their lives." Li Xiao patted his chest as a guarantee.

"I didn't say anything, brother Xiao, I believe you!" Man Gui took out the knife and was about to wipe it on his wrist.

As soon as the knife was touched on the wrist, blood flowed down. It dripped into the tea cup without using the wine bowl. Li Xiao also took out the dagger and scratched his wrist. However, he was a thief and the scratch was not deep. This time, the artery was

If you wipe it off, the gods will never come back.

The two of them finished dripping blood and looked at Ao Canghai.

"Look what I'm doing? I'm not a softie!" Ao Canghai also cut his wrist!

The tea was mixed with blood, and the fishy smell made Li Xiao almost vomit. Ao Canghai and Man Gui drank so boldly that they almost had to clink their glasses.

"Brother Xiao! As long as you allow your brothers to live a good life, I, Mangui, who weighs more than a hundred kilograms, will be at your disposal." After drinking the blood, Mangui patted his chest like a King Kong.

"Old Master Ao didn't think too much about it, just let it go. No matter what you do, I will help you. When I saw how fierce you were, I knew you were not a good person!"

Having made up his mind, Li Xiao bandaged his wrist and went to find Mao Wenlong. Now he had to do the work of asking for rewards from the court. After all, he was the only official here. He also needed a reason to recruit soldiers and horses on Pi Island. Otherwise, then,

It really became a rebellion.

"As long as you want to report your merits to the court, why do you say that the geographical location of Pi Island is so important?" Mao Wenlong was very sensitive to the fact that Li Xiao had some tricks to add these things!

"I have discussed it with Master Ao and Brother Man. We plan to stay on Phi Island and do not plan to return to the shore to become officials. If you want to become an official, Phi Island is also a good place."

"How can there be a deserted island...!"

"Sir Mao, people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret stories. Do you think that just with the brains of Brother Man or Master Ao, they can outsmart you civil servants? Don't sell your life one day and still count money for you."

"You are quite smart, so I will follow you to live on a desert island." Mao Wenlong stared at Li Xiao fiercely and said.

"It's natural! Among us, you have the highest official position. If you don't stay, the court will not be worried. But I, Li Xiao, promise you that within three years, your official position will be as high as you said. By then,

The official position is high enough, and it is more than enough to return to the Ministry of War in the capital and become a minister or even a minister. In three years, he will have a bright future.

You should be able to calculate this account!" Li Xiao said with a smile.

"When it comes to settling accounts, I can't settle it with you. I've been playing eagle all my life, and today I was pecked by an eagle. Now that things have happened, does my husband have any choice?" Mao Wenlong sighed helplessly, originally thinking of going back.

Later, with the merits of Zhenjiang Fort, I could be promoted and make a fortune. But I didn't expect that I would be trapped on an isolated island by this kid.

"Then Master Mao should know how to write this letter."

"Huh!" Mao Wenlong snorted, but he still wrote a letter without hesitation.
