The headquarters of the Sand Ship Gang, in the gang leader’s courtyard.

Ever since he knew that the child was dying and Mrs. Shen went to mourn in front of her dead husband's coffin, Guo Donglin has been very excited.

In addition, it was windy last night, so Boss Guo didn't sleep a wink the whole night.

He was groggy the whole morning and lacked energy. He managed to hold on until noon, then had a few drinks with his brother and prepared to take a nap while still drunk.

Unexpectedly, the two elders Niu and Ma came together and ruined his nap again.

These two gods could not be offended at the moment. Boss Guo suppressed his anger and asked the two elders to sit down. He also ordered someone to serve tea. Then he yawned and asked, "What happened that made the two elders miss their nap?"

"Boss, please forgive me! I have something extremely urgent to report!" Elder Ma said with a long face.

"Oh? What's going on?" Boss Guo was startled, thinking, could it be that he came to announce a death? He quickly wiped his cheeks to avoid smiling.

"We found the traces of those Japanese pirates!" Elder Niu said with his eyes wide open.

"Ah?" After saying this, Boss Guo was no longer sleepy at all.

"What? Where did the Japanese pirates come from?"

"They are the Japanese pirates who robbed Madam Shen." Elder Niu said in a deep voice:

"Wasn't there a strong wind last night? My Xiaoqi's boat was returning from Nantong Prefecture and was blown to the Bailusha area."

Elder Niu has an honest face and doesn't even blush when he tells lies.

"Who knew that there were lights on Bailusha? He wanted to go up and stay overnight, but he heard Japanese chattering, which frightened him so much that he hurried back to report the news."

Guo Donglin was stunned after hearing this. After a while, he touched his shiny forehead and said, "Fuck, this is too coincidental..."

"This is the blessing of Mazu. The old gang leader is still alive in heaven. Please help us find those little devils!" Elder Niu mooed and shouted:

"It must be those Japanese pirates!"

"The damn Japanese, they actually killed someone and still dared to stay in Chongming. They don't even take our Shachuan Gang seriously!" Elder Ma also slammed the table and screamed:

"Boss, give the order quickly. I will personally lead the troops to kill them all!"

"Give the order, boss!"

The second elder, Niu Ma, was shouting and calling for fighting and killing, as if he couldn't wait to rush out.

"Please keep your voices down. You're giving me a headache." Gang leader Guo rubbed his temples. While asking the two men to sit down and discuss the matter, he racked his brains, secretly thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"We must fight. As the saying goes, 'know the enemy and attack them easily'. We must first send people to gather intelligence and find out how many people and ships they have, and how to deploy their defenses..."

"Xiao Qi has figured it out. They only have nine ships and three hundred people, all hiding in shacks in the center of Bailuzhou. They are not alert at all and are no match for us!" Elder Niu interrupted him and waved his hand viciously:

"What else is there to say, leader? Just pick up your guns and start! Kill them all!"

"Yes!" Elder Ma was also excited like a young man and said, "Boss, I'm going to fight the Japanese pirates today, and no one can stop me!"

"Oh..." Boss Guo wiped the spit that was sprayed on his face and smiled very reluctantly.

"You two are really old and strong. But what time is it now? Even if you give the order now, it will take half a day to prepare before you can set off? It's already dark, how can you sail?"

"Let's prepare tonight and set out tomorrow." Gang Leader Guo waved his hand without questioning, "It's settled. The two elders are so old, how can they go into battle again? Let me personally lead the army tomorrow to wipe out those pirates!"

"Boss, I am not old."

"Boss, you can't abandon us. We were the ones who discovered the Japanese pirates!" Elder Niu Ma kept yelling.

"Who is the gang leader?" Gang leader Guo finally had the chance to slam the table. "Do you two listen to me or not?"

"Listen, of course I'll listen..." The second elder Niu Ma stopped talking unhappily.

~~

After sending the two old men away, Boss Guo was no longer sleepy. He paced back and forth for a while in a restless manner, then gave an order in a low voice:

"Call the second master over here!"

After a cup of tea, Guo Qilin came over, bleary-eyed. "Brother, what's the matter? You won't let me sleep peacefully."

"Sleep your ass off!" Gang Leader Guo spat, "Bai Lusha's gang of idiots have been exposed!"

"Ah?" Guo Qilin's jaw dropped, and he asked with a mouth full of alcohol: "How could we be discovered in such a place?"

"A rotten eye attracts flies - it's just bad luck." Guo Donglin said unhappily, "Don't worry about why. Hurry up and prepare. Let's go to Bailusha again after dark. Tell Meichuan Yifu to take the people and get out of here as far as possible! I'm going to lead the troops to suppress them tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, big brother, don't worry, I will make sure to deliver the letter." Guo Qilin had no worries about going out, as he was having a great time making money along the way.

"Be careful, don't let anyone see you and make it hard to explain!" Guo Donglin was still very cautious. He was worried that if he came back empty-handed, people would think of his brother.

"Don't worry, big brother. I will go to Majiagang for inspection and then get on the boat from there. Who would know?" Guo Qilin smiled.

"You have made progress." Guo Donglin felt relieved.

~~

After Guo Qilin returned, he asked his men to get ready to set off.

He lay down and took a short nap. When it was getting dark, he took a few of his men, rode out of Haisha Town, and headed for Majiagang in the far north.

There are three towns on Sansha Island, all of which belong to the Sand Boat Gang. Usually, there is a leader in each town. The Criminal Court is responsible for patrolling and checking for violations of gang rules. So it is normal for Guo Qilin to go there.

However, he did not even enter the town, but turned directly into the reed forest outside Majiagang.

There was already a small sand boat waiting there.

Guo Qilin got on the boat and immediately started gambling.

His subordinates also prepared roast chicken, roast duck and Lao Huadiao wine for him, which made him very happy.

Under the cover of night, the sand ship sailed downstream toward the northeast.

It took some effort to set off today, and when we arrived at Bailusha, it was already dawn.

The men quickly lit up the three red, yellow and green lanterns as usual, and then whistled hard towards the reeds.

After a while, a small boat slowly emerged from the reeds.

Seeing several men wearing straw hats, raincoats and Japanese clothing standing on the boat, Guo Qilin asked curiously:

"Where's Umekawa Kazuo-san? Where did he go?"

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaa..." The man in Japanese clothing made a sleeping gesture and said, "Niru Niru."

"Are you still asleep and not awake yet?" Guo Qilin is indeed a genius in linguistics. He can understand Japanese which even the Japanese cannot understand.

"Yoshi yoshi." The man gave a thumbs up with admiration on his face.

As they were talking, the boats of both sides came together. The man gestured again, inviting them to come:

"Iraq down Imasai."
