Yang Xuan, who was hiding in the back row, raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
This pirate seems to have understood that he can use the rudder when the wind blows, and he surrenders when he sees that he can't beat him?
However, Yang Xuan did not come forward, but winked at Xue Xian.
Xue Xian stepped forward with understanding.
"That man, since he has surrendered, why is he holding a murder weapon?"
The red turban smiled and cupped his hands: "May I ask who this official is?"
"Xue Xian, the governor of Qiongzhou Wei Town."
"Aiya aiya, I want to pay my respects to the Governor." The red scarf said greetings, but there was no expression of respect. After saying that, he turned back and waved to the pirates behind him: "Put it down, put it down, put your hands in your hands."
Put down the guys, we are here to surrender, don't get into such a tense situation."
I have to say that this red turban is quite authoritative. As soon as he opened his mouth, the pirates threw all their weapons on the ground.
"Your Majesty the Governor, we are all rough people, we don't understand the rules, and we bumped into you. Please forgive me."
Xue Xian took two steps forward: "Are you really here to surrender?"
"Really, more real than real gold."
As the red scarf spoke, he threw away the knife in his hand, took off the flying claw from his waist, and threw it aside. He still seemed very sincere.
Yang Xuan whispered to Dong Tianbao: "Take down the leader and interrogate him carefully."
Dong Tianbao nodded slightly and stepped forward immediately.
But as soon as he walked out of the team, the red turban immediately took two steps back.
"My lord, if you have anything to say, just say it there. I'm afraid if you are too close."
The corner of Yang Xuan's mouth suddenly raised slightly. He didn't look very old, but he was very slick.
However, Dong Tianbao was also a decisive person. He immediately raised his hand and made a few gestures, and then rushed forward.
As soon as he made a move, the red hooded man turned around and ran away, but no matter how fast he was, he was still not as fast as the arrow.
The sound of swishing crossbow arrows piercing the air was heard, shooting directly at the pirates behind them, stopping them from rushing forward, and also blocked the red turban's retreat.
In just a moment, Xue Xian and Dong Tianbao started to put on red scarves at the same time.
Dong Tianbao and Xue Xian joined forces, and after just one move, Red Turban knew he was no match, so he immediately deployed his body skills and began to fight.
His red scarf was as slippery as a loach. Dong Tianbao and Xue Xian joined forces but failed to catch him.
Zhang Junbao on the side looked at him and his eyes lit up: "This guy is very skilled. I'll go meet him."
Zhang Junbao is also good at this kind of light-body kung fu. As soon as he made a move, the situation of the battle suddenly changed drastically. Red Turban changed his body movements several times but was stopped by Zhang Junbao. After a few moves, he was caught by Dong Tianbao.
"Three against one, if you don't follow martial ethics, you..."
The red turban was huffing and puffing, obviously unconvinced.
At this time, Yang Xuan stepped forward: "When two armies are fighting, the emphasis is on using advantage to defeat disadvantage. Do you still want fairness?"
"Humph..." The red scarf closed his eyes and became silent.
"You're not here to surrender, come on, let's talk."
The red turban opened his eyes again: "Are you their leader?"
Yang Xuan pondered and said: "I am not their leader, you can regard me as their master for now."
The red turban's eyes widened a bit: "Master? Then you have the final say?"
"It can be counted."
"Okay, let me tell you." The red scarf tied his hands and simply sat on the ground: "Yes, we people were originally pirates, but now that the imperial court has issued a sea ban, there is no way to survive.
I just want to surrender to the government and serve as a soldier so that I can fill my stomach with food."
"Bah! If I hadn't been chased so hard by you that the boat was broken apart, I might have believed your lies."
Yang Xuan said disdainfully: "You obviously wanted to rob us, but when you found out there were many of us, you turned around and said you wanted to surrender. You are too dishonest."
Dong Tianbao said from the side: "Mr. Yang, there is no need to talk nonsense to him. Lock him up first and give him a fatigue interrogation. He will be punished for anything."
Before Yang Xuan spoke, the red scarf quickly answered: "Okay, okay, let me tell the truth, we do have a heart to surrender, but we just saw your cargo ship and couldn't help but become greedy, so we thought
I can grab another batch later.”
Yang Xuan smiled: "I'm afraid that's more than that. I saw that you came ashore in a menacing manner. You clearly want to go to the island to rob it."
The red scarf suddenly showed an embarrassed look and muttered: "I knew that Master Dute's mother was a human being."
"Yes, everything you said is right. I just plan to go to the island to rob. Why should I be controlled when I can live a free life? Besides, why do you think we want to be pirates?"
Looking at the ferocious look on the red turban's face, Yang Xuan said: "No matter what kind of unfair treatment you have suffered, it is not the reason for you to be violent to others. After all, we have not offended you. If you are a decent person, you can go
To take revenge on the people who bullied you, what's the point of stabbing innocent people and pretending to be innocent and loyal? Bah."
The red turban was speechless by Yang Xuan's words, and his head drooped.
But after a while, he raised his head again. Although there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, he had a playful smile on his face: "Well, no matter what I have done before, I really want to surrender now, do you want to?
"
"Surrender? Is it up to you?" Yang Xuan showed disdain: "You can surrender if you want, but tell me what you are capable of?"
"I...I..." The red scarf looked around: "Look, I have so many subordinates."
Yang Xuan glanced at them and said: "They are just a bunch of old and weak soldiers. All the coolies on the dock are better than them."
"I...I...is proficient in navigation. I am familiar with the sea areas around here."
"I have some overseas business friends who know more than you."
"That...this..."
The red turban was speechless again for a moment.
"If you think about it again, what else do you have?" Yang Xuan said, "Look at there are so many of you. If I accept you, it will cost a lot of money just for food and drink. I can't support you in vain."
.”
The red scarf heard the meaning of Yang Xuan's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to wonder what other people like him were capable of.
"I can...I can speak Japanese."
Yang Xuan's eyes lit up, but he just nodded lightly: "It's interesting, but not enough."
"I...I can also make curry chicken..."
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes: "Okay, okay, I don't have much ability to show off, so you still have the nerve to bargain with me."
The red turban showed a flattering expression: "Then Master, are you planning to take us in?"
Yang Xuan touched his chin and looked up at the sky: "It's not impossible to take you in, but it still needs to be investigated. First of all, I have to screen your people one by one. If there are any treacherous or evil people, I will take action.
Show no mercy.”
The red-turbaned man looked happy and moved his buttocks closer: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, even though we are pirates, we never kill anyone. We only rob merchants and rich households, and we definitely don't rob fishermen and poor people."
"Stop talking nonsense, you fishermen and poor people are taking advantage of each other."
Yang Xuan waved his hand: "Take all the people back and screen them carefully."
The red-turbaned man jumped up with joy and bowed: "Thank you Master, thank you Master."
