The sampan and warship were still following behind the small sailboat. The pirates were a little nervous, and their weapons were loose and tighter, tighter and looser. Cui Qixiao personally picked up the oars and rowed the small sailboat without rising sails, and advanced straight towards an island.

Since someone rowed, Qin Fei naturally felt free. He put his hands behind his head and leaned comfortably on the mast. Looking at Cui Qixiao's skillful and rhythmic rowing of the oars, he said leisurely: "Did Vice General Cui's water skills seem to have not fallen in the past few years?"

"Just rely on these hand-to-hand styles to make a living." Cui Qixiao smiled and said, "When talking about the kung fu in his hands, the ten Cui Qixiao is no match for the governor. However, if you brag about it, if you compare water kung fu, the ten governors may not be able to compare to me."

Qin Fei asked slowly, "It seems that Deputy General Cui's water character is outstanding among you pirates, right?"

Cui Qixiao was about to answer when he suddenly realized that Qin Fei was talking. If he told him honestly that his water nature was just a top choice at the moment, with Qin Fei's shrewdness, he could almost pinch his fingers to calculate how powerful these pirates are. Cui Qixiao changed the topic lightly: "Mr. Governor, it's wrong to call us pirates."

"We are the upright Dawei navy. During the national crisis, the navy soldiers abandoned their ships and landed on the shore to fight bravely with the Chu devils. Unfortunately, the enemy was too small and the situation was over. They fought fiercely for two days and nights, fighting from the inland of Andong to the beach. Along the way, there was a body of a navy soldier almost every ten steps. The blood stained the land with three hundred miles red! In order not to eliminate the navy's entire army, the general ordered some soldiers to retreat into the sea with excellent warships. All the remaining brothers were killed!"

"Director Qin Zhen, don't underestimate us, the deceased people. The only remaining water brothers, and less than 30% of the warships of that year, are enough to dominate the East China Sea. Wherever our warships go, the Chu navy was so scared that he dared not leave the port. It's not that I, Lao Cui, put it here. If I come out, I will destroy one ship, and two ships, and I will destroy a pair of him. Hum! At that time, the Wu fleet that claimed to be invincible could barely follow us for a few rounds, and the Chu people also play as a navy? Hum!"

Cui Qixiao hummed for two consecutive times, with a look of pride. Qin Fei could see that this was the pride of a veteran, but what he said was the truth. The State of Chu did not rely on the sea at all. After unifying Jiangbei, the State of Chu was established based on the surrendered Wei Navy. Unfortunately, those who surrendered, both tactical and technically, were incomparable to the previous Wei Navy. In order to suppress Wu's advantage in water, the backbone of the Chu Navy was in the Jiangnan camp. On the coast, there were only some old warships and old weak and disabled soldiers. As Cui Qixiao said, these people met Cui Qixiao and others. They were really meat buns to beat dogs, and they went but never returned.

Over the years, the Chu State has become accustomed to it. Wherever the pirates in the East China Sea arrived, the navy immediately stayed in their doors and howled everywhere for support. If they only read their official documents, they would feel that the pirates were extremely rampant and immediately swallowed the port and landed in battle. The infantry and cavalry rushed to reinforce, but they saw two or three pirate ships swaying outside the port, and more than a dozen or twenty ships in the port were so scared that they didn't dare to move at all...

As time goes by, the navy's call for help but no one pays attention. The Ministry of War has reached a consensus--if those naval troops that are useless, they will be swallowed by pirates, as long as the pirates don't go ashore. Anyway, if they go ashore, it will be the world of powerful Chu cavalry.

Cui Qixiao talked about it with a strong sense and continued: "We have been on the sea for so many years, and we never robbed coastal residents or forced to rob the merchant ships. We just need to go to various ports for a walk, and all the equipment and supplies will be complete. Hehe, even if you are the governor of the Inspection Office, I am not afraid to let you know. Many naval generals in the Chu State secretly reached a tacit understanding with us. They gave us some of the supplies, just asking us not to harass their ports."

Qin Fei has heard of such things. The navy is a coward and has almost never won. But the navy generals are also promoted, right? So, after they negotiated with the pirates, they became a situation where they gave gifts to the pirates. If they gave more, the pirates would not harass them. When the navy official who had not been ravaged by pirates for a year returned to the Ministry of War to report his duties, he could face the comrades who were beaten to pieces by the pirates and say some comforting words.

The East China Sea Pirates are actually very fat!

Qin Fei said slowly: "You have a problem that cannot be solved. Of course, I want to have an interview with your shopkeeper."

Cui Qixiao was so happy that he was so angry that he was stabbed by Qin Fei. He couldn't get happy. He rowed the boat silently and soon arrived at the island.

The island is very large. After so many years, the pirates have formed a self-sufficient environment. Some people fish and dry nets on the shore, and there is a large fruit forest on the island. Some people actually built a farm in the forest, which raises many chickens, ducks, pigs and so on. After crossing the forest, Qin Fei saw a flower in front of him - yes, it was a farmland.

Cui Qixiao explained proudly: "Director Qin Zhen, I won't hide it from you. Over the past ten years, we have made this island very exciting. If there are a large army surrounding the island, just the stored grain, salted fish, and the wine they brewed by themselves will be enough to last for a long time. As for how long... hehe, I can't say it. Anyway, it's the longest that makes you unimaginable."

"I look at the map. This island is called Shunfeng Island, right?" Qin Fei asked.

"It used to be called this name, but later we changed it. This is the last piece of land in the Great Wei Dynasty and a place that the Chu people have never touched. We all call it, Wei Island!"

Qin Fei nodded, and the two of them had already walked to a hillside.

On the hillside, a group of teenage children were practicing martial arts and boxing. Several middle-aged men were stern and scolded them sternly. If the children had any wrong movements, they immediately whipped them down with a stick. The beaten child blushed and followed other companions meticulously to continue practicing, and did not dare to be careless at all.

In the distance, another group of younger children were shaking their heads to recite the book. The tender childish voice recited the ancient words, which sounded like innocent nursery rhymes.

Cui Qixiao pointed to the man in his forties who was holding a book to teach the children to read, and said to Qin Fei: "That is, the deputy commander of the East Sea Fleet of the Great Wei Navy, the imperial gift of brocade clothes, jade belt and sword, and the general of the sea hunting - Ren Pingsheng."

Qin Fei looked at the famous figure curiously for a long time. Ren Pingsheng's file had been kept on his desk for a long time.

There was a talented man in the Wei Navy, Ren Pingsheng. He was recorded as a small fishing village. When he was a teenager, he was attacked by pirates. Ren Pingsheng, who was thirteen years old, offered advice to the village chief and cleverly dealt with pirates. Not only did he save the lives of most villagers, but he also delayed the pirates' escape, allowing the Great Wei Navy, who came to hear the news, to wipe out the gang of pirates in one fell swoop.

The navy generals were very grateful to the villagers' performance and were preparing to apply for rewards from the court. After asking, they learned that all the plans were actually from a teenager in his teenage years old. The surprised general called Ren Pingsheng, and the two of them asked questions and answered questions. The young Ren Pingsheng answered happily, and with his own genius, he also put forward many impressive suggestions for navy training.

The general was extremely amazed at the time and immediately made a decision to send Ren Pingsheng to the capital to study and receive a complete and systematic education and training. A few years later, the sixteen-year-old Ren Pingsheng entered the Great Wei Naval Division and became the commander of a small warship. In the battle of the pirates and the Wu Naval Division, Ren Pingsheng made many outstanding achievements, and since then he has risen to the top of the official position again and again. By the age of 20, he was already the deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet. If it weren't for the commander's seniority and his contributions had been saved for a lifetime, Ren Pingsheng could have served as the commander.

Even so, everyone knows it. The commander, who is already in his sixties and seventies, will not last long. It may take a few years, or just a few months. The commander will retire and return home, and the East China Sea Fleet will be the world of Ren Pingsheng.

At this moment, the Chu-Wei War broke out. Although the Wei army had a powerful navy in the world, the battles were fought on land, and the navy could only stare at the white-eyed. The battle situation became more and more unfavorable to the Wei army until it was defeated. The commander led the navy to land on the battlefield and decided to die for the country. Until it could not be supported, he forced Ren Pingsheng to lead some of the robes to retreat into the sea and retain his last strength.

Ren Pingsheng made the East China Sea a mess. As long as his fleet went to sea, the Chu navy would all become a turtle. He also had a record worthy of pride - he has never been defeated on the water since he was 16 years old!

In Qin Fei's mind, such a person should be a tall and handsome general. However, he didn't expect that when he first saw Ren Pingsheng, he was like a teacher who could be seen in a private school in a countryside. He was of medium figure and slightly thin, and his skin was the most common bronze color for people who grew up by the sea. He didn't have the aura of domineering spirit, nor was he a handsome man. He was just an ordinary person with two neat beards. The long robe fell on his body really meant a little bit!

Cui Qixiao coughed twice, awakening Qin Fei who was in a daze.

"Governor Qin Zhen, if you want to see General Ren, I can bring you here. But whether you see you needs to make a decision. And..." Cui Qixiao thought for a while, and continued: "If the general ordered you to kill you, I cannot disobey the general's order. Even though you have spared me and refused to kill you... If you die, I will be responsible for sending your body back to Anzhou and committing suicide to report to you."

"Tsk, don't do this." Qin Fei snorted indifferently: "You go and tell Ren Pingsheng, just say that I, Qin Fei, come to see him alone, and come out to talk if you are a man."
