"Yes! That's why I said, we just need to send a few boats, which will happen naturally. I asked you to come, mainly to discuss with you and the question of who to send."

After hearing this, Yu Ren patted his thigh heavily, "The boss is still worried about the question of the candidates, but I am afraid that those islands have been occupied by others!"

Xu Xinsu was a little disbelief. "No way! The New Year has just passed, and the officers and soldiers will only be more than ten days at most. Besides, there is no news from others, aren't you afraid that the officers and soldiers will come back?"

Yu Ren sneered, "The boss only knows that he is well-informed, but he doesn't know that there are still many people who are well-informed! Those islands don't seem to be of great value, but they control the sea outlets of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. Controlling them is equivalent to controlling the shipping of the two provinces.

What a great benefit this is! How come no one pays attention?

It is useless to be here now. It is better for the boss to send a boat to explore the news and then find out."

"It doesn't have to be. The people I sent to inquire have not all withdrawn. If someone takes over the island, they will definitely send a letter back immediately."

After saying that, Xu Xinsu pondered for a moment, then said softly, "You are right. These places are indeed important. Even if no one has robbed them, we have to start quickly."

"Nephew Yu Xian, you will go to summon Liu Qiang and the others right now, and we will leave now. Go to Daqu Mountain first." After Xu Xinsu said that, he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards Hui.

On that day, Xu Xinsu brought Yu Ren and Liu Qiang and more than 200 brothers to Daqu Mountain. At this time, Xu Xinsu sent someone who was going to inquire about the news back.

As Yu Ren expected, someone had already taken action first. Daqu Mountain had been occupied by someone.

"Can you find out who is going to the island?" Xu Xinsu asked.

"It's the nigger Zhong Laoqi."

"So it was him." Yu Ren still had an impression of Zhong Qi. When he was in Fujian, he happened to meet him on a boat and robbed him. Fortunately, Li Ying was on the boat at that time. Zhong Qi was very tactful, but after seeing Li Ying's small flag, he took the initiative to lead the people to withdraw.

But now that time has changed, it is not so easy to let him retreat this time.

"How many of them have gone to the island?" Yu Ren asked.

"I guess there are three or four hundred people."

"It shouldn't be more than 300 people. This Zhong Laoqi was originally on the Nanji Mountain Island, not very close to Daqu Mountain. This time he brought people to the island so quickly. Obviously, he also got the news. There were only 500 people on his island, and some of them had to be left in his nest, so I guess he could only bring 300 people to Daqu Mountain at most."

"If it were this Zhong Laoqi, then this matter would be very easy to deal with. He has always followed the eldest lady's orders. As long as Mr. Yu takes action and asks him to withdraw, he should not dare to say too much." Liu Qiang said.

Yu Ren smiled, "That was the past. At that time, your eldest lady was still the boss in the Southeast Sea, so he naturally obeyed his orders, but now the power of the Li family has collapsed in an instant. As the saying goes, people are in favor, but people are in favor, and people are in favor. Don't say it's me, even if your eldest lady comes in person and asks him to give up Daqu Mountain, I'm afraid he may not give up."

Xu Xinsu said, "It's okay, let's bring two hundred people first. I have already ordered Liu Long to bring five hundred brothers to reinforce him later. I don't believe it anymore. He, a little Zhong Laoqi, dares to fight me."

After saying that, Xu Xinsu ordered people to set sail.

Xu Xinsu ordered his men to move forward at full speed. Within a few days, the fleet arrived near Daqu Mountain. Xu Xinsu ordered the fleet to find a small desert island and stop. Then he called Yu Ren over.

"In my opinion, we should start with literature and then martial arts. Nephew Yu Xian, please go to the island to persuade Zhong Qi first. He is willing to take the initiative to retreat. I, Xu Xinsu, are willing to give him 10,000 taels of silver. If he does not retreat, he will have to fight."

Yu Ren agreed very simply. He did not bring too many people, but just picked ten confidants to accompany him.

Yu Ren specially chose a relatively secluded place to climb Daqu Island. At this time, even dozens of fishermen moved to other places on the island, and only more than 300 people brought by Zhong Qi lived in the house built by Li Ying earlier. Most of these houses have been destroyed, and less than two or three intact were intact. The subordinates brought by Zhong Qi were rushing to repair.

Yu Ren walked up and asked one of them, "Where is your seventh master?"

The man was a little surprised when he heard Yu Ren's question, "Aren't you a brother here? Where did you come from?"

After saying that, more than a dozen strong men with bad faces surrounded him.

"This is Yu Ren and the Grandpa Yu. I have something important to discuss with you. How dare you be rude?" Shi Qian shouted loudly when he saw this scene, and at the same time he had already grasped the knife handle.

These people all retreated when they heard that it was Yu Ren. They also heard Yu Ren's name. There are not many people who have never heard of Yu Ren's name in the Southeast Sea today. Although Yu Ren only appeared for less than a year, because of Li Ying's relationship, his reputation had already spread throughout the Southeast on the sea.

"I will take Mr. Yu to see Master Qi." One of them stood up and said.

So Yu Ren brought more than ten people to the small courtyard where Zhong Qi lived.

The guards outside the courtyard saw the team from afar and stopped loudly, "Stop, what are you doing?"

"It's Yu Ren and the Grandpa Yu who is coming to visit the Qi Master." The person leading the way replied loudly.

"Let's wait there and wait for me to report to Master Qi." The guard said, and turned around and entered the yard.

After a while, the guard came out again. "Seventh Master had something to say, so he asked Mr. Yu Ren to come in empty-handedly. The others were still waiting in place."

Yu Ren took off his sword and handed it to Shi Qian on the side. This time he went to the island, Liu Qiang did not come with him. Originally, this guy was trying his best to come, but Yu Ren did not agree to him. Because Yu Ren was worried that if Xu Xinsu would fight Zhong Qi during the period of his departure, only Liu Qiang was the most familiar with the waterways in this area. If he was not there, this battle would be much harder to fight.

Shi Qian was a little worried. "Let Zhong Qi come out to see her husband! He is nothing, but he dares to put on airs with us. This shows that he no longer takes the eldest lady seriously. I am afraid that if you go there like this, you will be in danger."

Yu Ren smiled and waved his hand. "The current situation is no longer comparable to that of the past. We are the phoenixes that have fallen off the gears, which are not as good as chickens! This is also expected. However, despite this, I believe that Zhong Qi doesn't dare to do anything to me, Yu Ren. Don't worry!"

Yu Ren said, and followed the guard into the courtyard.

This is a few of the well-preserved yards left on Daqu Island. When Yu Ren entered the yard, he saw Zhong Qi grinding a big knife in the yard.

"Why did Xianggong Yu come from?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zhong Qi did not turn around.

"Why should the Zhong family ask questions clearly? Of course I came to take back Daqushan. Although the eldest lady is not here now, she still has many brothers under her. If the island is not taken back, the brothers will have no place to settle down!"

Only then did Zhong Qi put down his knife, turned around and looked at Yu Ren with a slanted eye.

"As far as I know, Mr. Yu has already taken them to join the guy Xu Xinsu. This island is the young lady's island, which is indeed good. But this does not mean that you, Yu Ren, can just want it. What kind of thing are you, just a fence-bearer who blows both sides of the wind.

I occupy this island now, and that's for the eldest lady. One day the eldest lady really comes, I promise to return the island to her as it is. But if you want it, there is no door!"

After Zhong Qi finished speaking, he said to the two brothers beside him, "Go, tie up the man named Yu for me. When the General Manager Jiang sent someone, he handed him over."

Yu Ren didn't expect that Zhong Qi suddenly turned against him. However, he had experienced several sudden changes over the past year. Faced with the current situation, he remained calm.

The first question that flashed through his mind was, why did Zhong Qi capture himself? Who is the Manager Jiang he mentioned?

But he had no time to think more, and the two strong men were circling him from both sides. Zhong Qi lowered his head again and went to sharpen his knife, not taking him at all.
