"yes!"

Luo Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, you go back while the night is sunny. Be careful."

"Thank you, Prince!"

The man went down the rope again and disappeared into the night in a boat.

"Prince!" Several generals looked at Luo Sheng on the deck.

"Send scouts to stare at the dock. When intercepting, try to minimize casualties of the Ming navy." Luo Xin said lightly.

"Don't worry, prince. As long as our cannon fires, those gangs of soldiers will be scared to pee their pants."

"Hahaha..." Everyone's laughter came from the night sky.

Three days later.

Hu Zongxian sent a navy army to protect the merchants of the vassal states to go to sea. Xu Jie's two sons sent a housekeeper with dozens of servants to follow him. Xu Jie's two sons had already started to hold banquets and celebrate in restaurants in Hangzhou, and also invited Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing, but they were both rejected by the two.

Where is Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing thinking about celebrating?

The two of them always felt inexplicably uneasy and were waiting for the news with fear.

I don’t know if it happened that the restaurant opposite the restaurant where Xu Jie’s two sons held a banquet, and the heads of the five major families were also gathering there. Through the window, Xu Jie’s two sons saw the five masters in the opposite window, so they went downstairs and walked to the restaurant opposite, and went upstairs to the private room of the five masters. Without knocking on the door, they pushed the door out and laughed:

"Five uncles, I'm so excited!"

"Yes! Old friends can get together more, so they are naturally in good spirits."

"People should convince themselves that they are old. You are already old, so don't participate in things that you can't do. It's okay, it's great that old friends gather and drink. Ah hahaha..."

The five heads of the family looked ugly, and the head of the Zhang family said lightly: "Young people, it is better to follow the rules and follow the footsteps of their predecessors. Otherwise, if you take too big, you will retreat to the egg."

Xu Kun looked at the head of the Zhang family disdainfully and said, "My father is the chief minister of the cabinet, and our Xu family is qualified to break the rules."

The head of the Zhang family looked at Lu Ding and said, "Brother Lu, I once heard Lord Luo say a son who brings trouble to his father. What is that word?"

"Take a fool!" Lu Ding said with a smile on his lips.

"Yes, it's just a cheat!"

"Hahaha..." The five people burst into laughter.

A trace of harshness flashed in Xu Kun's eyes and said, "You should think about yourself. Without the right to trade, your family's tea forest, silk workshop, and porcelain cannot be sold. Why not sell it to me, I respect the elderly and love the young."

"Haha..." Lu Ding sneered twice and said, "Okay, as long as you follow the market price, we will sell it to you."

"Market price?" Xu Kun also sneered twice: "What price I said is the market price."

"Oh?" Lu Ding looked at Xu Kun jokingly and said, "What is your market price?"

"20% of the original price." Xu Kun stretched out two fingers proudly.

"Not selling!" Lu Ding said calmly.

Seeing that the five masters were not furious, Xu Kun sneered: "If you don't sell goods, you can only sell workshops."

“Not selling.”

"Ambition!" Xu Kun raised his thumbs up and said, "Your subordinates have tens of thousands of people. I see how long you can support them."

Lu Bing said lightly: "The other five of us have not made any other profit in recent years, but we can make a lot of money. We can afford it. However, you, Mr. Xu, don't have the supply of our five companies, I see how you organize the supply."

"Without Butcher Zhang, don't eat the pig with hair?" Xu Kun sneered: "Southeast is the largest of your five families, but except for you five, there are no workshops without other people."

"Then I wish Mr. Xu a wealthy source! Don't cheat your father when you are down. You must know that it is not easy for your father to defeat Yan Song and become the chief minister of the cabinet."

"Let's go and see, I'll wait for you to beg me to buy your goods."

"Haha..." The five heads of the family were together.

Xu Kun shook his sleeves and turned around and left. Xu Ying stretched out his finger and pointed at the five heads of the family, leaving with a resentful look on his face.

After Xu Kun and Xu Ying left, the five people in the box looked gloomy. The head of the Zhang family said with some confidence:

"Brother Lu, are we really retreating like this?"

"So what if we don't retreat?" Lu Bing sighed and said, "Our Lu family is no longer the same as before. Now without Lord Luo's support, do you think we can compete with the Xu family?"

"But... what does Lord Luo mean?"

Lu Ding shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know that Lord Luo will never let it go."

"But... Lord Luo just let it go at all in the current situation?"

"I remember that we had done something right with Lord Luo at the beginning. At that time, we also thought that Lord Luo was in trouble and could only let us go. But what was the result?"

Everyone's expressions were terrified, and they all clearly remembered how Luo Xin dealt with them. Every time they felt that Luo Xin had no choice, but in the end they lost a lot.

"Master Luo is hard to see through!"

"It's right that we can't see through it. If we let us see through it, he is not a Rhoda. He is not a corrupt scholar. Don't forget that he is a war god."

"Yes, we just need to do nothing, just watch it from the side. It's rare to watch a scene easily. We open our eyes and take a closer look at how the scene was performed."

"By the way, do you think there will be pirates at sea?"

"It's really hard to say. How much does Maritime Affairs have to benefit? Maybe another group of pirates gathered on the sea."

"I really hope the pirates snatched the Xu family's goods."

"This is not realistic. Even if there are pirates, such pirates who have only been established will not be too strong. Hu Zongxian can completely defeat those pirates."

"well……"

The sea.

The vassal states were merchant ships and Hu Zongxian's naval forces sailing on the sea.

“There is a ship!”

The sentry suddenly shouted, and the Ming navy immediately became alert. The ship opposite also saw the Ming navy and immediately blew the flag.

"It's a vassal state and a merchant ship! Let them get close."

Soon, the ships of both sides approached. On a sea boat opposite, a white man shouted:

"Joseph, are you going back to the voyage?"

"Tom, you guys are here too."

"Yes, Joseph, have you ever encountered pirates?"

"Tom, have you met pirates too?"

"Let him come here!" shouted the leader of the Ming naval army.

The ships of both sides approached and placed a wooden board on the two ships. Tom came over from the opposite side, first gave a gift to the leader of the Ming naval army, and then said:

"We met pirates ahead, and they did not rob us, but told them to hand over half of the goods to them on the return journey. Joseph, have you ever encountered pirates?"
