After sending Sun Xuanqing off, Hu Zongxian, Xu Wei, and Bai Xiaowen returned to Yu Dayou's room to discuss the plan to resist the Japanese.
After reading Wang Cuiqiao's letter, Hu Zongxian frowned and said, "Wang Cuiqiao wants me to report to His Majesty and ask for a pardon for Xu Hai."
Bai Xiaowen replied, "She came to see me in person and said the same thing. However, I've already replied to her according to what I discussed with Mr. Xu in advance. "
Xu Wei nodded and said, "If you ask for a pardon, Governor will have a lot of responsibility. If Xu Hai rebels and treats the pardon as a joke, where will the Great Ming's face go? At that time, Governor will definitely be heavily punished and it's not impossible for you to be imprisoned. "
"So, our reply is that we can ask for a pardon, but Xu Hai must show his sincerity and capture Pockmarked Ye and Chen Dong as evidence of his repentance."
Yu Dayou understood and nodded heavily, "Mr. Xu's words are reasonable."
Bai Xiaowen said, "Wang Cuiqiao said that she will persuade Xu Hai to take action during the meeting on Golden Gate Island three days later. Counting the time, there are still two days left. If Xu Hai succeeds in killing the two pirate leaders, he will definitely offer their heads to Governor. "
Xu Wei smiled and said, "Daoist Bai, we still don't know if Wang Cuiqiao can persuade Xu Hai to fight with the other two pirate groups. Moreover, Xu Hai may not be able to fight against them. So, we can't just sit there quietly. We still need to take the next step and take the initiative to deal with the Japanese. "
Hu Zongxian nodded, "Wen Zhang's words are deeply in my heart."
Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen and said in the team channel, "What do they mean? What should we do? "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and replied in the team channel, "Xu Wei's IQ really didn't disappoint me. We don't need to do anything. We just need to wait for the mission. "
After Hu Zongxian asked for a plan, the room was silent.
Xu Wei looked around and his gaze landed on Bai Xiaowen's face. He then smiled and said, "Supervisor, my suggestion is to send a team of elites to infiltrate Golden Gate Island to spy on the inside information of the island. After that, we'll send a large army to ambush around the island. Once the situation is favorable, the elites on the island will immediately set off the fire arrows as a signal. The imperial army will surround Jinmen and assist Xu Hai's troops. They will attack from both inside and outside and wipe out Chen Dong and Ye Mazi in one fell swoop! "
Hu Zongxian laughed and said, "It is indeed a good plan. However, which general should he send to lead the troops into the island? If our army's famous generals go, they will be easily recognized by the Wokou pirates. Only those unfamiliar faces will be able to do the job. "
Pausing for a moment, Hu Zongxian continued, "In addition, Xu Hai's mind is hard to fathom. We can't let him know about the hidden soldiers to avoid new problems. Therefore, this time, there is no way to get Xu Hai to help cover for us. "
Xu Wei: "Governor, have you forgotten? Daoist Master Bai Xiao is a newcomer and doesn't have much of a reputation among the Wokou pirates. He is the perfect candidate to be a spy."
Hu Zongxian clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, not bad."
The two of them were singing the same tune. They both wanted Bai Xiaowen to be the spy.
Li Shuyi's heart skipped a beat as he realized that this was a mission. He then looked at Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen was of course willing. The reason why he didn't take the initiative to volunteer was because he wanted to wait for Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei to ask him. Once the mission was completed, he would be able to ask for more rewards.
Unexpectedly, Yu Dayou raised an objection.
"Governor, this isn't appropriate. Although the Wokou pirates aren't as well-organized as the imperial army, they have their own set of rules. Some of the bigger Wokou pirates even have identity badges to prevent spies from sneaking in. Although Daoist Master Bai Xiao is an unfamiliar face, before entering the island, if we encounter any patrol boats, we will have to check your identity badges. "
Bai Xiaowen sighed to himself. Yu Dayou was indeed an honest person. That punch wasn't in vain. Looking at Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei, he had given them money and sent them letters. Even now, their favorability towards him hadn't reached the level of 'Friend'. This was the difference between them. Scholars were too scheming.
However, Bai Xiaowen naturally wouldn't let Yu Dayou fail this mission. He immediately said, "General Yu, don't worry. I've been to the Wokou pirates' headquarters and asked for a few identity badges. It shouldn't be a problem for me to deal with the patrols. If this mission is successful, the Wokou pirates in Fujian will be quelled. How can I cherish my life for such a big mission? Governor, Mr. Xu, I'm willing to go! "
Hu Zongxian praised, "Daoist Master Bai Xiao is truly a young hero. You have guts!"
A notification appeared from the Spiritual Realm.
"Hero Side Mission: [Battle of the Golden Gate] has begun."
[Mission Objective: Eliminate the two biggest Wokou pirates (Pockmarked Ye and Chen Dong)]
[Mission Difficulty: C]
[Mission Time Limit: 72 hours]
[Mission Reward: Unknown]
There was also a description at the end.
[Note: To eliminate a power, the following objectives must be achieved:]
[1. All the leaders of the other party must be eliminated. This includes but is not limited to killing, capturing, and surrendering.]
[2. 60% of the members of the other party below the leader rank (excluding the leader) must be eliminated. This includes but is not limited to killing, capturing, and surrendering.]
[Special Prompt: As long as the above objectives are achieved, the other party's forces will be eliminated. It doesn't matter if you do it personally or not.]
Bai Xiaowen happily accepted the mission.
Li Shuyi asked through the team channel, "Xiaowen, this mission … … why is it only C-rank? The rating of a hero mission is too low. "
"It's not contradictory. To eliminate two big forces at once is a large-scale battle. As the vanguard of the infiltration, of course we deserve a hero mission. However, this mission is also relatively easy to complete because the mission specifically states that the elimination of the other party's forces does not require the awakened to complete it personally. Simply put, we're hugging their thighs. "
After analyzing the situation, Bai Xiaowen said, "If we're purely hugging their thighs to win, the benefits we can get from this mission will be very low. However … … if we don't hug their thighs and carry them ourselves, we can expect to get a lot of benefits. I'm not talking about the rewards. "
Li Shuyi nodded.
Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei went to mobilize the troops. Before leaving, they told Yu Dayou to have a good rest. A fierce battle was imminent, and Yu Dayou didn't have much time to recover.
However, Bai Xiaowen was stopped by Yu Dayou and asked to stay.
"Bai Xiaowen, thank you for your help this time," Yu Dayou said, "I'm ashamed that I punched you when I woke up. I don't know how to repay you for saving my life. Please accept this gold and silver. "
Zhang Ting and the other soldiers came over and presented a plate of gold and silver ingots to Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen refused, "General Yu, why do you say that? I respect heroes like you the most. It's my duty to find medicine for you. Even if the zombie is fierce, or the Evil Ghost is evil, I won't hesitate to go through water and tread on fire. It's not a big deal to take a punch from you. At most, I'll break a few ribs. I'll be fine after a few days of rest … …"
