Yu Ren's three words "Second Leader" are particularly serious, as if to mock Xu Hai. As the second leader of Nansha Island, he is devoted to Xiong Wencan's dog official and ignores the lives and death of his brothers.

Xu Hai blushed after Yu Ren's words. This was indeed Xiong Wencan's intention. Moreover, this idea was given to Xiong Wencan by Xu Hai.

However, now he naturally could not admit it. Seeing that his plan had been seen through by Yu Ren, he had to say embarrassedly to the brothers, "I asked my brothers to stay, isn't it for them to do it? Go and ask the brothers, which of them have not lived on the island for many years? Which one is willing to leave on the voluntary basis?

Yes, Lord Xiong intends to incorporate our brothers, but he has no plans to make things difficult for the brothers. Think about it yourself, are you willing to be incorporated by the officers and soldiers, or are you willing to wander around the sea with your family?"

At this time, more and more brothers were coming. Liu Long, Huang Ji'an, and Yang Changqing, and other important leaders of the Xu family also came.

Yu Ren knew that if he asked Xu Hai to convince these people, the maritime commercial empire that Xu Xinsu had worked hard to build for many years would never exist again. This was an ending that Yu Ren could not accept no matter what. He had to let the Xu family, the maritime overlord, continue to exist so that he could defeat the dead Xu Xinsu.

"What the second head of the family said is true. Yes, if the officers and soldiers recruit us, they will not kill us. However, no one can guarantee that they will not confiscate our family wealth. These officials are all lustful people. After we accept the recruitment, we will survive, but my family property is likely to be gone. And we will always be bullied by those Shangguans.

Maybe we will be taken to Liaodong to fight the Jurchens in the future.

Brothers, don’t forget that no matter how our identities change, after all, we are all businessmen at heart! Depreciation of business is our strength and what we like to do. If we withdraw from Nansha, although the situation may be a bit difficult for a while.

But we have not lost one of the most important things - freedom.

As long as we all work together and work together, we believe that in no time, we can build a better new home in a new place. We can freely depreciate the goods at sea and make a lot of money.

However, if we accept the incorporation of the court, those corrupt officials will not only drain our savings for many years, but also make us work hard for them to fight.

Are the brothers willing to accept temporary comfort in exchange for lifelong pain and enslave them for generations from then on; or are they willing to bear temporary hardships and eventually usher in the happiness and freedom of generations?"

Yu Ren's words were far more inspiring than Xu Hai. A large number of people who were standing by Xu Hai and supporting Xu Hai suddenly came to Yu Ren's side.

Yu Ren glanced around. More than a thousand brothers on the island had already arrived here at this time. There were no less than eight hundred people standing behind him. There were only three or four hundred people standing next to Xu Hai, and the strengths of the advantages and disadvantages were distinguished.

Huang Ji'an shouted to Xu Hai, "Second Master, you are the only brother of our boss. How can you surrender to his enemies with your brothers before the boss's body was cold?"

Xu Hai glared at Huang Ji'an, "What are you? Is this the place where you interrupt? I am doing this, don't you think about the overall situation and don't want your brothers to die in vain!"

Yu Ren sneered, "I'm afraid it may not be! The young widow of the Huang family who is newly appointed by the third uncle is a stunning person!"

Others don’t understand why Yu Ren suddenly mentioned Xu Hai’s concubine at this time. But Xu Hai himself knew very well. When he heard Yu Ren mentioned this, he knew that he could no longer argue with him. So, without waiting for Yu Ren to speak, he waved to everyone standing beside him. "Go!"

When the brothers saw Xu Hai turning around and leaving, they looked back at the brothers who were standing beside Yu Ren, and seemed a little reluctant to leave. But in the end, they chose to leave with Xu Hai.

Seeing this, Liu Long pulled out a knife, and the more than 200 brothers following him also showed off their weapons.

Xu Hai, who had already walked more than ten steps away, heard the sound of drawing the knife, turned around suddenly, and looked at Liu Long vigilantly. His hand also pressed on the hilt of the knife at the same time.

The brothers who were by his side also pressed the handle of the knife one by one.

Suddenly, the atmosphere reached the extreme. The battle broke out!

"Yu Ren, what do you want?" Xu Hai did not talk to Liu Long, but went to Yu Ren directly because he knew that after Xu Xinsu's death, the person with the greatest influence and appeal of the Xu family was Yu Ren.

Yu Ren silently glanced at Xu Hai and the brothers who were following him, and sighed, "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and it's not sweet to make me feel so fucked. Let them go!"

"But these brothers have been following the boss for many years. Although the boss is dead, there is still Master Keming here. These people actually want to betray the Xu family and surrender to the court with Xu Hai. How can we let them go so easily!

Young Master, please say something!"

Xu Keming suddenly heard his uncle say he wanted to make a decision, but he became panicked. He said he would kill these people? He was a little unbearable. After all, these people were originally good brothers who were as close as a family to them. After saying that they would let these people go, his uncle seemed to disagree. Xu Keming stood there and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Yu Ren didn't say anything. Since Liu Long brought Xu Keming out, he was not inconvenient to interrupt. After all, Xu Keming is their boss now. Although Xu Qian announced at that time that he would be the entire Xu family for the time being. However, in such a public occasion, he still had to put Xu Keming ahead to show respect.

Xu Keming looked at his uncle and Yu Ren again, "You'd better ask your brother-in-law to make this idea for me! Didn't my younger sister say that? I'm not familiar with our family's affairs at the moment, so my brother-in-law will take care of me." Xu Keming finally came up with a reasonable reason and pushed this problem he thought was hard-working to Yu Ren.

Yu Ren then took a step forward and said to Liu Long, "The third leader, you will have a brother. Let them go today! In the future, the battlefield confrontation, then don't blame us for being ruthless."

Xu Hai kept staring at Yu Ren's eyes, and his heart was extremely nervous. If he really started a fight, he knew that his side was definitely not a match for Yu Ren and the others. Not to mention the difference in number, even Yu Ren alone would not be able to find someone who could match him.

At this time, when Xu Hai heard Yu Ren say he wanted them to leave, he was relieved.

Seeing this, Liu Long knew that he could no longer save it, so he sighed, took the knife back into the scabbard, and shouted, "Woman's kindness, woman's kindness!" After that, he turned around and left.

When Xu Hai saw Liu Long turn and leave, he didn't say anything. He just clasped his fists at Yu Ren and left with his brothers around him!

Yu Ren has been standing there without moving. The brothers who were originally standing by him have gradually dispersed. Only Li Ying is still standing there with him.

"Ying'er, is it right or wrong for you to say I did this?"

Li Ying gently patted Yu Ren's back shoulder. "I know you are very conflicted. You are worried that after Uncle Third will lead the officers and soldiers to pursue us. Based on his understanding of us, this battle will probably be much harder to fight. But you don't want to kill him. After all, he is the only brother of Uncle Second, and he has taken care of us.

I believe that no matter what choice you make, Uncle Er will not blame you. Because, no matter how you choose, it is to protect the Xu family and the foundation created by Uncle Er.

The second uncle is kind to us. In such a crisis, we should naturally help him carry the banner of the Xu family and protect the foundation he created throughout his life. You are right to do this."

After hearing Li Ying's words, Yu Ren suddenly turned around and looked into her eyes. "Actually, to be honest, most of the foundation laid by the second uncle was borrowed from your team back then, and he was your former Li family. Don't you blame me?"

Li Ying chuckled softly, smiling brightly. "I was the daughter of the Li family back then, so I naturally worked hard for the Li family. Now I am my daughter-in-law of the Yu family, so I have to think about the Yu family in everything, and focus on everything. My husband is the actual helmsman of the Xu family, so of course I will work wholeheartedly for the Xu family.

In fact, in my eyes, the Xu family, Li family or Yu family, there is no difference, it is just a banner. The key is to be able to give a wealthy and stable home to my brothers and sisters. Back then, I swore to my brothers and sisters who followed me at that time on Daqu Mountain to try to create such a world for them. Unfortunately, I failed to do it in the end. Instead, they were mostly buried in the sea in the Battle of Luzon.”

Speaking of this, Li Ying's voice choked up.
