Chapter 405: Undercurrents Surge, Draw the Snake Out of Its Hole

"Big Chief!"

"Big Chief!"

The people in the tent stood up instantly in fear.

Including the bearded man who expressed dissatisfaction at the beginning, he stood up with a panicked face at this time, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

As for the young man, his face was pale and blue, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

Kong Xiangdong didn't even look at him, walked straight past him, and then sat down at the table with a big horse and a golden knife.

"Oh, the food is good!"

Kong Xiangdong picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating.

The atmosphere in the tent was very depressing, and only the sound of Kong Xiangdong drinking and eating could be heard.

Some of the timid ones even began to tremble in their calves.

After finishing a bowl of wine, Kong Xiangdong suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the young man standing at the door, who was neither leaving nor staying, and then said lightly.

"Just now I heard you say that you plan to go to the beach tomorrow?"

The young man shuddered, knowing that Kong Xiangdong had heard what he had just said, but now that things had come to this, there was no point in saying anything else, so he nodded his head.

"Yes!"

"Okay." Kong Xiangdong replied with a simple "Okay", and then cast his eyes on the other people in the tent.

"Do you all have the same idea?"

No one dared to speak, and the tent was dead silent.

Kong Xiangdong pointed at the bearded man standing not far away, "Han San, weren't you talking very excitedly just now? Why are you silent now?"

The bearded man called Han San hurriedly nodded and bowed his head and smiled apologetically, saying, "Big leader, calm down, what I just said was nonsense after being drunk, don't be like me..."

Before he finished speaking, Kong Xiangdong picked up the wine bowl on the table and threw it over.

Han San didn't even dare to dodge, and was hit on the forehead by the wine bowl. Blood instantly flowed down and dripped down his chin to the ground.

But even so, Han San didn't dare to reach out to wipe the blood off his face, but stood there motionless, as if waiting for Kong Xiangdong's second wave of punishment.

Kong Xiangdong was still angry, but he didn't do it again. He just leaned on the chair and said coldly.

"I know that each of you has resentment in your heart and thinks that I have blocked your way to make money. Well, I will announce a rule now. From now on, whoever wants to go to the beach can go, I will never stop you, but from now on, don't say that you are my Kong Xiangdong's subordinates."

Hearing this, many people changed color.

You must know that the reason why these seafarers want to join Kong Xiangdong is certainly not that they like to be controlled by others, but in that chaotic environment, it is easy to suffer without a strong person to lead.

And after all these years of getting along, these seafarers feel that they have followed the right person.

Although Kong Xiangdong has a bad temper and often beats and scolds his subordinates, and will kill people when he is furious, that is based on the premise that you have done something wrong.

As long as you work with him honestly and don't play tricks, not only will your life be safe, but he will also stand up for you if you really encounter any problems.

In this day and age, it is extremely rare to find such a leader.

So when these people heard Kong Xiangdong say that whoever wants to go can go, but they will no longer be his subordinates after going, they were all frightened.

Especially this bearded man, he lowered his head deeply, and the cold sweat from his nose and temples mixed with the blood on his forehead flowed down together, which looked very funny.

Seeing him like this, Kong Xiangdong snorted coldly from his nose, and then looked at the young man.

"Zheng Yi, you didn't tell me this before you came this year. You knelt in front of me and begged me to bring you with you, saying that you would obey my command in everything. But now you have just made some money and you don't know where to go?"

Zheng Yi's face became more and more ugly after being scolded.

Kong Xiangdong sighed slightly and said, "Okay, if it was two years ago, I would have killed you for your current behavior."

"But now I have figured it out. As the saying goes, people with different beliefs cannot work together. Since you think I have blocked your way to make a fortune, then leave."

"Does this mean you want to drive me away?" Zheng Yi said hoarsely.

"Yes, isn't this what you dream of? Anyway, you have seen the situation at the seaside now, and you have learned the tricks of catching the sea. If you want to go, go. I won't keep you here anyway." Kong Xiangdong said lightly.

Zheng Yi's eyes showed a struggle, but looking at Kong Xiangdong's determined expression, he also knew that there was no possibility of redemption.

So he took a deep breath, then clasped his fists, "Okay, in that case, let's part ways amicably, we'll meet again in the future."

After saying this, Zheng Yi turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Kong Xiangdong's eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent, but it quickly disappeared.

As he said just now, he has really changed a lot now.

It's not that he can't do it, but he feels that it's not worth it for such a person.

It's said that good words can't persuade a damned ghost. Since he doesn't appreciate his kindness and hides behind him, let him go.

With his current behavior and mentality, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to come back alive from the beach.

As for whether this will attract others to follow suit...

What a joke, Kong Xiangdong now doesn't care about these.

Because if you really don't have such a vision and follow such a thing to leave, it will be enough to prove that this person is not a good person, and Kong Xiangdong will not stop him.

At this time, Kong Xiangdong slowly stood up and came to Han San.

When he saw Kong Xiangdong approaching, Han San bent down deeply, not even daring to raise his head.

The blood on his forehead dripped to the ground.

Kong Xiangdong smiled slightly when he saw this, then reached out and patted Han San on the back of his head.

"You can be regarded as someone who knows the current affairs."

After saying that, Kong Xiangdong strode away.

It wasn't until the sound of his footsteps completely disappeared that the atmosphere in the tent gradually recovered.

"Huh, luckily I didn't say anything unpleasant just now, otherwise the big boss would definitely not be able to spare me."

"Yes, even though the big boss was laughing just now, why do I feel more terrifying than when he went crazy before?"

"Feel the same!"

Of course, these people kept their voices low when discussing, and did not dare to approach Han San, whose face was covered with blood, for fear of getting into trouble with him again.

Unexpectedly, Han San just wiped the blood from his face with a normal expression, then turned and left without even looking at the people present.

As soon as he left, the remaining people looked at each other, and then they all dispersed like birds and beasts.

At the same time, in the big tent in the middle of the camp, the tavern owner Yang Zhan poured a glass of wine for Kong Xiangdong with a smile.

"To be honest, your reaction today really surprised me. It seems that you have changed a lot in the past year or so."

"In your eyes, was I so murderous before?" Kong Xiangdong said lightly.

"Absolutely. At least that Zheng Yi will never leave the camp alive." Yang Zhan said.

Kong Xiangdong chuckled, drank the wine in one gulp, and then took a long breath and said: "Actually, Zheng Yi is just an insignificant little character, and I didn't care about him. The real big fish is someone else. "

Yang Zhan was startled when he heard this, and then hesitantly said, "You mean Han San?"

Kong Xiangdong nodded.

"Why, judging from what happened just now, he respects you very much!"

"That's exactly the problem. This Han San has been with me for three years and is considered a senior man. But based on my understanding of him, although he is in awe of me, he is still far from the kind of begging for mercy he is today. He didn’t even dare to say it, so there must be something fishy going on. To put it bluntly, he overacted.”

Kong Xiangdong's habit of calling his subordinates is to distinguish them according to how many years they have followed him. For example, Zheng Yi, who was expelled, is the newcomer who just came this year.

And this Han San is the old man who followed Kong Xiangdong three years ago.

But his behavior in the tent today was a bit too much, so Kong Xiangdong immediately noticed something fishy.

"So what are you going to do?" Yang Zhan asked.

"I suspect it's not just him, there should be a group of people who are deeply dissatisfied with my decision, but they just don't dare to show it."

"Let me tell you, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. If these people want to go so badly, then let them go. Why do you have to be such a bad person? This is not your character." Yang Zhan said a little puzzled after hearing this.

Kong Xiangdong shook his head, "You don't understand. Of course I don't care about the lives of these people. After all, my duty is only to bring them to Wuwanghai every year, and then bring them back safely. Now that my duty has been completed, the remaining Logically speaking, I really shouldn’t have anything to do with it.”

"But I want to do an experiment!"

"Experiment?" Yang Zhan didn't understand.

"To put it bluntly, it's just a purification!"

Kong Xiangdong paused, then poured himself a glass of wine, and said while drinking: "The more they complain about me now, the more they will respect me when something happens."

"And I have always had a vague feeling that although I am their leader, there should be someone among these people who can secretly compete with me. Although I have made some guesses, I have never had any substantial evidence."

"This time I just took this opportunity to force him out, which can be regarded as cleaning up the team."

After hearing Kong Xiangdong's explanation, Yang Zhan finally understood, and then gave him a meaningful look.

Although the feeling Kong Xiangdong gave Yang Zhan before was terrifying, it was only pure violence and madness.

Now his actions made Yang Zhan feel deeply uneasy.

For example, the more you complain now, the more convinced you will be of yourself when something happens in the future.

The scheming revealed in this made Yang Zhan shudder.

It seems that... after Kong Xiangdong had been in contact with Mr. Zhao Ya for a period of time last year, not only did he become less crazy, but he also became more scheming.

While Yang Zhan and Kong Xiangdong were talking, a secret conversation was also taking place in a corner of the camp.

"It's really strange. I don't know what happened to Kong Xiangdong this year. His mood has become much more stable. Even the words like that just now failed to anger him." Someone sighed.

"Yeah, I thought that even if he didn't go on a killing spree this time, he would kill a few as a warning. In that case, we could successfully incite other seamen to resist him, but now all plans have come to nothing. ." Someone else sighed.

Han San remained silent, just sitting in the corner and listening quietly.

By this time the wound on his head had become scarred.

This kind of skin injury is nothing to people like them, and they don't even need special treatment.

"Han San, what do you think?" someone asked.

"I think since this way doesn't work, why not try another way!" Han San said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Try another way? What way?" someone asked immediately.

"Didn't he announce publicly that anyone who went to the beach would be automatically withdrawn? Then why don't we just send a few brothers to the beach? In this way, as long as we harvest a lot every day, it won't take long for other people who can't resist the temptation to join us. If things go on like this, it won't take long for him to become a lonely man." Han San said.

"This alone is not enough. The most important thing is how to get the control of the leader of the white-eating bird. With that, we can be considered to have obtained the key to wealth." A person's voice came from the shadows.

As soon as this voice came out, the tent became quiet instantly.

Because the speaker was none other than the leader of these people.

And if Kong Xiangdong was here at this time, he would recognize the speaker at a glance.

Because the speaker was also Liu Shiyi, who had followed Kong Xiangdong for the longest time and was the most "loyal" to him.

That's right.

Liu Shiyi has been with Kong Xiangdong for eleven years, and he is the most experienced among all the sea-hunters.

He has been by Kong Xiangdong's side since Kong Xiangdong first came to Wuwang Sea and tried to form a team.

Kong Xiangdong was penniless at that time, and he even had to fight in the wind and waves every day.

Because of this experience, the two have accumulated a deep relationship.

Now the daily affairs of the sea-hunters are basically managed by Liu Shiyi.

If things continue to develop like this, Liu Shiyi will never betray Kong Xiangdong, and the two can even leave a good story of brotherly love.

But things inevitably changed.

First of all, the appearance of Zhao Ya last year indirectly led to a significant reduction in Kong Xiangdong's madness.

And this also made Liu Shiyi feel more pressured.

Because Kong Xiangdong's tyranny and madness were terrible before, but as long as you understand his temper, it is actually easy to control.

Liu Shiyi relied on this point to secretly tamper with the dried fish handed in by the sea-hunters, and accumulated a considerable fortune every year.

But now Kong Xiangdong's awakening has made these operations impossible.

This is just one of the points. The key is that this year, with the help of the white-eating bird leader, the harvest has greatly increased.

Watching such a huge fortune slip away, Liu Shiyi was really worried.

In addition, Kong Xiangdong insisted on taking people to hide in front of the snow-capped mountains, which led to complaints from his group of seafarers.

This also gave Liu Shiyi hope.

For a variety of reasons, he decided to take a risk and test Kong Xiangdong, but he didn't expect to fail.

After three days of intravenous drip, he still coughed and felt uncomfortable!
