"What? Go to Baekje? You have to pretend to be a pirate?" Wang Wendu, who had just gained Li Hao's trust, only heard the beginning, and then he felt cold sweat on his back: "Governor, this matter is... Is it inappropriate?"

"What? Wang Duwei wants to give up?" Lei Yao glanced at Wang Wendu, his contempt was beyond words.

"General Lei Lang, it's not that Wang Wendu is timid, it's really..." Wang Wendu wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Hao's hand: "No need to do this. I will only ask you one thing. Do you really want to waste your life in Dengzhou City? If so, please prepare a month's rice and grain for me, and wait for the Silla delegation to come to us and set off immediately. I have never said the matter today. If you don't have some debts, then cooperate with us. If you succeed in the future, you must have a general position."

After saying that, Li Hao did not urge him and pulled Lei Yao over and said, "After a while, I will ask my brothers to change their clothes and replace all the flags of my Tang Dynasty. In addition, we will re-count the military equipment, make a list if there is insufficient amount, and ask Wang Duwei to supplement it on the spot. Pay attention to confidentiality. If necessary, don't come down again after getting on the ship."

"No!" Lei Yao sang a big promise and pushed the door open with his back.

Soon, a noise came from outside the door, and it became quiet soon. It was obvious that the navy had returned to the boat.

In the room, only Li Hao, the guard Tiezhu and Wang Wendu who was still hesitating.

This is not to say that Wang Wendu is a person who is undecided and has both rat heads, but that this matter is really not easy to deal with.

First of all, the Dengzhou Assassin did not like them very much. Even though he was one of the top military figures in Dengzhou, he was still unable to change anything.

Secondly, Li Hao and others have been to Dengzhou for several days, but Dengzhou Assassin and others have been avoiding it. This shows that there must be irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides.

Under such circumstances, Wang Wendu had to consider the consequences of following Li Hao. If things change, things in Baekje are not going well and Dengzhou cannot return, wouldn't it be that this unpopular position is gone?

Seeing that he had been hesitating, Li Hao was too embarrassed for him. When there was no sound outside, he coughed and said, "The Wang Duwei doesn't have to be too embarrassed. Just make a decision according to his own heart. You need to know that gold will always shine. The days ahead will be long, so you don't have to worry about a temporary loss."

"I..." Wang Wendu heard that the boss was not feeling like he wanted to say something, but saw that Li Hao had already pushed open the door and walked out. When he chased him out, the two had already walked far away.

Putting aside Wang Wendu's annoyance and not saying that he was ashamed, he said that Li Hao and the others who left the Dengzhou Navy's headquarters.

Tiezhu was straightforward and complained to Li Hao as soon as he left: "Young Master, Wang Wendu is so ignorant, you still advise him to do something, and those who don't know think we are harming him."

"Everyone has ambition, not everyone has the courage to fight with the consequences." Li Hao smiled slightly and said indifferently.

The reason why he wanted to win over Wang Wendu was only because historical records record that this person performed excellently during his expedition to Goguryeo, and was even appointed as the deputy governor of the Navy by Li Er at that time.

But later seeing him hesitating, Li Hao realized that Wang Wendu had not yet developed well at this time, and there were not many expeditions to Baekje. In this case, it would be meaningless to force him.

Tiezhu scratched his head, and couldn't figure out what it would be to just follow his young master to fight on the sea.

However, Tiezhu has one advantage that he doesn't think about things he can't figure out. Anyway, with the young master around him, you don't have to worry about such things yourself.

At this time, all the Tang Dynasty flags on the warship had been removed. Several large ships looked bare from a distance, with no one on the deck, and it looked like a ghost domain.

However, when Li Hao got on the boat and entered the cabin, he immediately heard noisy laughter. Countless naval soldiers had already changed their clothes and were holding a few big pots and applying them to their faces with the ashes at the bottom of the pot.

"What are you doing?" Li Hao was confused when he saw it, and asked Cheng Chumo who was still yelling.

"Didn't you say you want to pretend to be a pirate? How can you do it without applying a little gray on your face?" Cheng Chumo's already dark face was covered with gray at the bottom of the pot, and it looked like it had just emerged from the soil. There was only a pair of eyes that were still rolling around and could see a little white.

Li Hao was so angry that he was so angry that he pinched his nose and said, "You stupid guy, we are playing pirates, not robbers. The vast sea is full of water, how could it make my face full of dust!"

"Uh..." Cheng Chumo had heard his old man describe the appearance of a robber, thinking that robbers were all robbers, so he simply pulled everyone in the cabin to "dress up". Now that Li Hao said this, he suddenly froze in the place.

Unable to resist his words, Changsun Chong and Li Zhen also rushed out of the cabin. They all pointed at Cheng Chumo with a black face and said angrily: "You guy, you are here to deceive me again."

Cheng Chumo was scolded by everyone, shook his head indifferently, and said with a stern voice: "Hey, you can't say that. Didn't I, Cheng, have been smeared too? Besides, whoever returns to the pirates must wash their faces. Our group is a bit unhappy, so what if we think of it!"

"In this way, you'll live with a dirty face. I won't be with you anymore." Changsun Chong was so angry that he was trembling all over, thinking that when did he make himself so dirty? This time he finally sacrificed his life for the mission, but he was deceived by Cheng Chumo, a fool.

Two more days passed in a blink of an eye, and all the food needed for the long journey had been loaded on the ship. After two days of adaptation, the navy soldiers gradually adapted to the identity of the pirate.

The Silla delegation also arrived at the Dengzhou Wharf on that day. More than 200 people rushed into the Silla camp stationed in the Dengzhou Naval Camp. Someone immediately called everyone to gather on the boat, saving even the politeness and other things, which showed that he was eager to return home.

Li Hao naturally discovered the strange movements of the Silla people, but in order to prevent the crowd from being mixed, he did not contact them. He only ordered people to raise their anchors and drive several large ships out of the dock and sailed out from afar.

Such a strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of the Silla people. These people had not finished it, but they left when they were waiting for the people to arrive. In addition, there was no sign on the ship. If they were not targeting themselves, they would not believe it.

The head of the Silla Navy, who was originally stationed at the pier, did not know the purpose of Li Hao and others. He had contact with them a few days ago. Today, when he saw their strange actions, he immediately had many bad associations.

After all, Baekje is currently fighting with Silla. If Datang wants to help Baekje, it would be normal to send an unfamiliar fleet to secretly destroy himself and others.
