Lu Zhanlong stared at Luo Xingchen with sincere eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"This is no secret..."

Luo Xingchen pondered for a moment, then said: "This is based on mathematical calculations to calculate the trajectory of the cannonball. It can be done after long-term training."

Well, saying it means not saying it. Lu Zhanlong didn't understand what Luo Xingchen was saying at all. Although he understood every word, when combined together, it was not very clear.

Looking at Lu Zhanlong's blank gaze, Luo Xingchen knew that he was playing the piano to a cow again.

But who told him that he already knew a lot of knowledge beyond this era.

At this moment, he once again realized how powerful his mother was. In this vast world, there were few people who were more knowledgeable than his mother.

"Master Lu, what are you going to do now?" Luo Xingchen asked this question.

There is a war going on now, and it is not like guests are visiting.

"Admiral, I am willing to surrender. Zhanlong Village is at the disposal of the admiral." Lu Zhanlong said seriously.

"Okay, you are the first pirate to be surrendered. If you act loyally in the future, you will have a place in the imperial navy." Luo Xingchen said solemnly.

Luo Xingchen has his own arrangements. Water pirates like Lu Zhanlong are very famous in Wuchao Lake. Accepting his support is tantamount to buying horse bones with a thousand gold.

In the future, when other water pirates surrender, there will be no psychological pressure.

They would think that since Lu Zhanlong surrendered anyway, they would be the only one left behind.

"Are you Yan Shushan, the military advisor of Zhanlong Village?" Luo Xingchen turned his attention to Yan Shushan who was standing aside.

Yan Shushan was actually a little at a loss. He originally thought that as a messenger, he would use his sharp tongue to obtain more benefits.

Although the final result is the same, they all join the imperial court.

But it would never be the current prisoner situation.

Not to mention what conditions are being negotiated now, even his own life depends on Luo Xingchen's thoughts. Life and death are in the hands of others. No matter how good his tongue is, it is useless.

"Yes, Lord Admiral, I am Military Advisor Yan Shushan." Yan Shushan had no choice but to reply.

"I heard that you were admitted to the Juren Examination before, but the day after tomorrow you offended the examiner and had your name crossed out. Is this the case?" Luo Xingchen said with raised lips.

He had memorized the backgrounds of some important figures in Zhanlong Village before this voyage.

"Reporting to the Admiral, this is what happened." Yan Shushan nodded.

This cannot be vetoed. Too many people know about it, and it was considered a big deal locally.

"Do you still remember the name of the examiner?" Luo Xingchen continued to ask.

"Remember, the examiner is the former county governor Wang Ling, and he has returned to his hometown now." Yan Shushan said.

Yan Shushan's eyes showed hatred when he mentioned this name. You must know that it was precisely because of Wang Ling that he finally failed the exam.

The examiner does have the right to cross out names within a limited range, but only a handful of them do so.

There was obviously no deep hatred between Wang Ling and him, but just because he didn't like his ugly appearance, he did something like this. How could he not hate him?

"Wang Ling, right? If you seek refuge with me and act loyally in the future, not only will your position as a judge be restored, but you will also be able to seek revenge from Wang Ling. If you are unwilling to act loyally, I will not kill you and let you leave this place. Don't let me

See you." Luo Xingchen gave his choice.

"Is the Lord Admiral telling the truth?" Yan Shushan's voice was trembling. What happened back then was his inner demon, and he would never forget it one day.

Failure to pass the examination was the beginning of his family's disaster. He ended up becoming a water thief. If you look carefully, Wang Ling, the examiner at that time, was the real culprit.

"Would I lie to you? Think about my identity." Luo Xingchen raised his head.

"It's the villain's fault. You shouldn't question the Lord Admiral. I am willing to do the hard work of a dog and a horse." Yan Shushan knelt down and kowtowed and paid homage.

Yan Shushan's attitude made Luo Xingchen quite satisfied.

"Lu Zhanlong, the same goes for you. If you work hard, you will be rich and famous, and you will be granted a wife and a son. What future do you have as a water pirate? Sooner or later, you will be wiped out by the court." Luo Xingchen said: "Now, the court's Wuchao Lake navy has just begun.

It’s the right time to hire people, so it’s the right time for you to join me.”

Luo Xingchen has always felt that one should not demand too high a moral standard from others. As long as sufficient benefits are provided, how can one worry about them not doing their best?

Before leaving the capital, he had already obtained the right to independently appoint naval officers. As long as they were not above the third rank, but below the third rank, he could kill them first and then report them later.

After making arrangements and sending a document to the court, it's basically done.

"Admiral, I sincerely surrender, what should I do next?" Lu Zhanlong lowered his head and said.

Luo Xingchen has given him enough face, and his motivation has come out, so let's continue to work hard. He is tired of being a water pirate anyway.

"Go back first and take command of your seven warships."

Luo Xingchen asked someone to untie Lu Zhanlong, and then sent someone to follow Lu Zhanlong back to the flagship.

Of the seven ships in Zhanlong Village, one was sent back to report the news, and all the others followed Luo Xingchen back.

…

At this time, inside the garrison on the shore.

Xiong Liangxiao and Song Chen, who had already had breakfast, had been waiting, and they were also very anxious.

"Jiang An has gone back to report the news. He can't come back for the time being. Why should we just wait here?" Song Chen was impatient. He rubbed his hands together and paced back and forth, burning with anxiety.

"It's okay for that baby admiral to lose the battle. If something happens to him, the sky will be shattered." Song Chen was frightened just thinking about it.

If something happens to Luo Xingchen, can they really survive even if they join other pirates?

That is the son of the great general who protects the country, and his only son.

The Protector General is not a general who has no real power, but a real general who has tens of thousands of elite soldiers at hand. If he goes all out to Wuchao Lake to suppress the bandits, who can escape?

"We have no choice but to wait..."

"You've definitely lost. Just three ships set sail. Do you really think they can equal one to ten?" Xiong Liangxiao said very dissatisfied: "Our food is also being delayed. If we cooperate well, our water village will also have seven or eight ships."

There are hundreds of strong men, and with their combined efforts, even if they fight against Lu Zhanlong, they won't suffer any loss. It's better now..."

Xiong Liangxiao really felt depressed. He heard that the general who protected the country was a hero, but why did he have such a brainless second generation? No wonder some people said that his father was a hero and his son was a bear.

Perhaps it is normal for the descendants of great heroes to be bears.
