Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his buttocks. It turned out that Ling Zhao pinched him hard. Ling Zhao said coquettishly: "You dare to say that our people are Japanese pirates again!"

Suo Etu was suspicious when he heard this. He turned his gaze to Wei Xiaobao, pointed at Shuang'er and asked, "This lady is Shuang'er, I know her. But this lady looks very strange. She is..."

Wei Xiaobao smiled slightly and answered nonchalantly: "Oh, she is the chief of the Japanese pirates you just mentioned, and the current emperor of Japan - Ling Zhao."

Suo Etu was shocked when he heard this. His eyes widened and he stammered, "Ah, I heard that Brother Wei married into the Japanese kingdom and became the empress of the female emperor. Could this rumor be true?"

When Ling Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Wei Xiaobao pointed at Ling Zhao angrily and said, "Who spread the rumor about me? She is the emperor of Japan outside, but at home she is my eighth wife, the eighth concubine. Do you understand?"

Ling Zhao was a little unhappy when she heard this. She corrected herself and said, "I don't want to be the eighth concubine. I am the eighth lady."

Seeing this, Suo Etu couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Wei is really amazing. He can even marry the Japanese emperor. I really admire him!"

As he spoke, Suo Etu bowed to Zhao Ling and said respectfully: "Foreign minister Suo Etu pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan."

Ling Zhao smiled slightly and responded politely: "Master Suo, there is no need to be so polite. I am just the eighth lady here."

Wei Xiaobao leaned over and scratched Ling Zhao's nose with his finger and said, "You are sensible!"

Time passed minute by minute, and fifteen minutes later, the fleet finally sailed out of the Huangpu River and arrived at Wusongkou.

At this time, at the dock not far away, three ironclad ships and a 552 transport ship were quietly moored. More than 500 large ships of the multinational coalition ranging from 1200 tons to tons were gathered at one part of the dock, and each ship was flying a white flag.

On the dock, the soldiers of the Second Marine Regiment were busy counting the prisoners. Obviously, the fighting here had ended long ago, and the traces of the battle were still clearly visible.

Wei Xiaobao let the yacht slowly dock next to the ironclad ship No. 251, then ordered the boat to lower the gondola and took Soetu aboard ship No. 251.

After boarding the ironclad, He Yu and Li Chengdong followed closely and boarded the ironclad together.

After the three boarded the ironclad ship, they were full of curiosity about it, just like Mu Tingxie had been at the beginning. They looked around and touched everything, feeling very excited.

If Wei Xiaobao hadn't reminded them to deal with the business first and then visit freely after the business was done, they might have been immersed in the fun of exploring the ironclad ship. Finally, they followed Wei Xiaobao to the command room.

In the command room, after Wei Xiaobao introduced Suo Etu, Ming Zhu and Chen Jinnan to Zhang Xiaolong and other generals, he asked, "Is the battle at Wusongkou over so soon?"

Zhang Xiaolong replied excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, when our fleet arrived at Wusongkou, those Westerners had already raised the white flag and surrendered before they even fired a shot."

After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao burst into laughter: "I think it's because our ironclad warships are so famous that they scared these cowardly Western devils into not daring to resist."

Suo Etu on the side could not help but sigh: "Brother Wei, this is truly a victory without fighting. It is really admirable!"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and nodded, then turned to Zhang Xiaolong and said, "Send these prisoners to Japan to mine, and let them use their sweat to wash away the crimes they have committed."

Zhang Xiaolong immediately responded: "Yes, I understand." Then he turned and left, preparing to arrange related matters.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao secretly rejoiced that the war did not cause too much damage and the enemy was defeated smoothly. He believed that through this victory, the Tiandi Federation would become even stronger.

Wei Xiaobao turned around, with a sly smile on his face, looked at Suo Etu, and slowly said: "Lord Suo, now the last batch of Western devils' armed forces have been disarmed, the battles in Shanghai Port, Shanghai County and Wusongkou have also ended, and the multinational coalition's invasion of Songjiang Prefecture has finally ended. So, should we settle the cost of this operation?"

His tone was relaxed and firm, as if everything was under control.

After hearing this, Suo Etu's heart tightened. He stared at Wei Xiaobao with wide eyes and a puzzled look on his face, muttering to himself: "What tricks is this kid going to play?"

Although Suo Etu was somewhat unhappy, he still responded with a forced smile: "Brother Wei, this time Songjiang Prefecture was saved thanks to the heroic fighting of the Tiandi Alliance and the Tiandi Army. I am really grateful! You and I are all one family in China, why should we be so fussy? I will immediately order people to kill sheep and chickens to reward the Tiandi Army."

He tried to use the family card to defuse the awkward situation.

However, Wei Xiaobao was not moved by Soetu's words, but instead showed an expression of dissatisfaction.

He waved his hands vigorously, interrupting Soetu's words, and said loudly: "Stop, stop! What do you mean by rewarding the Tiandi Army? Reward is our own business and has nothing to do with you! I am talking to you about the issue of compensation! You need to pay silver when you hire someone to fight, not to mention that you have hired an army to drive away the invaders. Shouldn't you pay the corresponding compensation?" His voice was loud and firm, full of confidence and determination.

Suo Etu's face darkened, and he realized that Wei Xiaobao was not easy to fool. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then asked, "So, Brother Wei, how do you think the reward should be calculated?" His eyes revealed a hint of vigilance and calculation.

Wei Xiaobao smiled slightly, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes, and replied: "Well... of course the principle is that more work, more pay! Our Tiandi Army has made great sacrifices and efforts to achieve this victory. Therefore, the reward is naturally not less. As for the specific amount, further discussion is needed. But one thing is certain, we will not compromise easily!"

His words revealed a firm attitude, and he seemed to be ready to deal with various situations.

When Suo Etu heard this, he wanted to cheat. He said with a fake smile: "Brother Wei, but we really didn't invite you. It was the Tian Di Army who took the initiative to attack the Western devils. For this, on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, I would like to pay the highest respects to the selfless, brave and fearless Tian Di Army." After that, Suo Etu bowed deeply to Wei Xiaobao to express his gratitude.
