Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 444
"Gao Shishu? What is he doing here?"

Hearing the name, Tao Lian paused and then frowned: "We are talking to the court about recruitment at this time. If we meet him at this juncture, are we afraid that the court will not suspect us? No! Just say I'm sleeping. Yes, just send him away."

The attendant looked embarrassed: "I also tried to persuade him, but he refused to leave. He said that if he doesn't see you tonight, he will stay outside and not leave."

Tao Lian was in a irritable mood: "Why is he, a powerful pirate, acting like a scoundrel, and still relying on me?"

However, Gao Shishu is very unruly in his actions and will not give up until he achieves his goal. If he is not allowed to get what he wants tonight, who knows what kind of madness he will go crazy.Thinking of this, Tao Lian suppressed the anger in his chest and said to his entourage: "Forget it, let him come in."

"Yes."

After a while, the door creaked open, and Gao Shishu walked in with a smile on his face: "Brother Tao, long time no see."

Tao Lian was not in the mood to chat with him, and said in a languid state, "What are you doing here?"

Listening to the tiredness in his voice, Gao Shishu did not answer directly, but raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong, Brother Tao? I see that you are not in good spirits, but what troubles you encountered?"

Tao Lian sighed: "What else could it be? The group of people under my command have been quarreling and quarreling all day long. There is no peace of mind. The quarrel makes me upset."

Hearing this, Gao Shishu's heart moved, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, and probed calmly: "It must be for recruitment, right? That's normal. After all, the conditions of the imperial court are so harsh, and all the brothers under Brother Tao have A hot-blooded and strong-willed man would be a ghost if he didn't make noises."

"Brother Tao is their talisman. In this situation, as long as you stand up and say something to reassure the brothers, who will dare to make trouble without even a glance? Don't you think so?"

Tao Lian held his forehead with his hands, his eyes were heavy and he didn't say anything.

Tao Lian's silence made Gao Shishu feel flustered. He tightened his fingers on his tight side and forced a smile: "Why, is it possible that Brother Tao really wants to join the imperial court?"

Tao Lian still didn't speak.

Gao Shishu's expression changed, and his smile fell instantly: "The imperial court wants to divide the people under you, and it wants to steal your business for nothing. What you get in return is a count the size of a sesame seed. Tao Lian, that's it. Can you agree to the conditions?"

Tao Lian's tone was not good: "You haven't agreed yet, haven't you?"

"But you hesitated! Doesn't this mean you want to agree?"

Gao Shishu's eyes bulged greatly and his expression was ferocious: "They say that you, Tao Lian, are a ruthless character who dominates the South China Sea and dominates the southeastern sea. What's the result? Now you actually want to give up your wealth to the imperial court just to follow the rules. Like a dog, begging for food under their hands?"

"What do you mean just to act like a dog?!" Tao Lian suddenly raised his head, his eyes piercing: "Do you think I want this?! I have worked hard for most of my life to build a family fortune, with thousands of people under my control and a net worth of millions. Do you know how much hardship I endured and how many times I risked my life to be where I am today? If not as a last resort, who would give this to others in vain?"

Gao Shishu sneered: "Ah, you, the majestic Tao Gang Leader, will shake the entire southeast sea three times if you stamp your feet. What can you do? In the end, isn't it just fear? Don't make excuses for your cowardice! "

"Am I afraid? Yes, I am afraid, because I am afraid of death!"

Tao Lian's eyes were red and he stared into Gao Shishu's eyes: "In the exercise more than ten days ago, 100 people versus 100 people, I brought the [-] best brothers under me, and paired them with the best The weapons and equipment are still under the command of Sanzi himself, but do you know what the result will be?"

"One hundred people, 93 were killed, seven were seriously injured, and among the officers and soldiers, there was only one minor injury! With such a huge gap and such terrifying combat effectiveness, how could I not be afraid? How could I not want to find a way out?"

"If possible, they could have used their special forces to surround and kill us there that day. If Mei Feng and others hadn't kept their word and said negotiations were just negotiations, otherwise you think you would still be able to see us. The living me?"

Having said this, Tao Lian took a breath and said in a gentle tone: "Today's imperial court is no longer the imperial court of the past. The emperor is determined to wipe out the Japanese pirates along the coast. To this end, he even specially brought Dingguo Gongsu Banner from northern Xinjiang. They were transferred to Zhejiang just to deal with us."

"And that Shen Boyi, he is not a fool. The military formation in the exercise is very different from your description. There are multiple changes, and the efficiency of killing enemies is quite high. It must have been improved. If they use this formation to a large scale If the scale is applied to the battle with us, we will be defeated, is there any way out?"

"That's because your people are too useless, hesitant and hesitant. It would be weird if you don't lose." Gao Shishu raised his chin and looked at him contemptuously, "You have become pirates and Japanese pirates, and you still have to pay attention to the bottom line. , don’t allow your subordinates to kill anyone during robbery.”

"If you are so indecisive, of course the court will think you are easy to bully. Who will lose if you don't lose? Nearly half of my hands are wandering warriors from Japan. That is the real way of fighting one against ten, let alone a hundred against each other. One hundred, even if I only have ten people, I can still kill all the officers and soldiers without leaving any trace behind!"

Looking at Gao Shishu's arrogant face, Tao Lian suddenly shook his head and smiled sarcastically: "Gao Shishu, you are too arrogant. This is the imperial court, the Chinese orthodoxy that dominates the world. Do you think that just with us? Can the little pirate really compete with them?"

"The reason why you feel this way is because you have never seen the power of the anti-Japanese formation. When you really see it, you will not say so. What about samurai? So what about having experienced hundreds of battles? What about the imperial court? As far as officers and soldiers are concerned, it is just a matter of poking and stabbing with wolves and spears."

"You are proud of the Japanese warriors, but the military formation Shen Boyi studied, especially the weapon Langzhen, is specifically designed to deal with the samurai swords in the hands of the Japanese. As long as the sword touches the Langzhen, no matter whether you chop or chop, you will Those who are blocked will eventually be unable to escape the fate of being killed.”

Gao Shishu was headstrong and arrogant. He couldn't listen to Tao Lian's words at all. He said viciously: "I don't care what wolves and dogs are. You can't beat him because you are too stupid! I said you should practice. Obediently remove the tip of the weapon, even the dog will not obey you."

As he said that, Gao Shishu smiled sinisterly: "If I were you, I would agree to negotiate on the surface, but actually secretly bring enough troops to kill all the officers and soldiers as soon as the exercise begins, and take the opportunity to kill the big guys like Mei Feng. The officers captured them and threatened their lives to return to the sea."

"In this case, the imperial court is going to throw a rat out of control. Isn't it just what I say? Do I need to be like you and agree to recruit people with great aggrievedness?"

Tao Lian's eyes widened and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a while, he pointed at Gao Shishu and said tremblingly: "...You, you are really crazy! What's the difference between doing this and openly going to war with the imperial court!"
