The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 381 Jinfan Thief

The shipyard is also located in Shui County, the city along the river in Hejian County, the most prosperous city is also Shui County.

This is because Shuixian defected to Xinguo from the very beginning, started trade with Xinguo, and had a high degree of prosperity. After being recovered by Xinguo, it developed rapidly. In addition, the shipyard was located in Shuixian, Hejian County. Many of the soldiers are stationed here.

The craftsmen who are building the beacon tower are also hurrying up, and winter is coming soon, trying to build the beacon tower before winter.

The scout withdrew his gaze, and waited until the dock workers carried boxes of old Jimo wine onto the boat, and then the boatman let the boat leave the dock and head towards Longguo.

The river was heading south, and the boatman also said while driving: "Now, there are a lot of water thieves in the river, we can only take the shortest route. The wharf of Longguo is on the south side, and there are beacon towers in other places, so it's not easy to get there. .”

The scout asked: "Doesn't the Dragon Kingdom collect taxes?"

"Take it, but these taxes are not much. Even if the taxes are collected, those taverns and inns in the Dragon Kingdom can still make money. What's more, the distance between the two countries is so close. Great time to make a fortune."

The scout kept the boatman's words in his heart.

The width of this river is not considered wide, it is only the width of a lake, which is fully the width of a football field, but in this season, the water surface is full of fog, making it hard to see clearly.

When it reached a certain position, the boat sailed horizontally towards the opposite bank.

In addition to the Xinguo scouts here, there are several small boats heading east in the eastern part of Xinguo, that is, east of Linchuan East County.

"It is said that to the east, there are several water thief dens. Those water thieves occupy a city and often send troops to plunder the nearby cargo ships. Therefore, there are not many people in this waterway."

There were many Xinguo scouts standing on the ship. This time they requisitioned the cargo ship, and at the same time loaded some cargo, disguised as a caravan, and explored eastward.

The water flow on the river spreads towards the surroundings, and there is fog in the distance, which can only be seen clearly when you get close, and the water surface around is rippling.

There are five or six cargo ships, which are extremely sufficient. While drawing the map, the scouts looked at the surrounding scenery.

"We've almost reached the heart of Zuojiang."

The fisherman who was acting as a tour guide pointed to the map. At the moment, there were some aquatic plants all around, and the water surface was swirling.

"There is an undercurrent here, and the water is very deep. From north to south, there is river water. Only to the east, you can see a larger island. Generally, we will choose to bypass this island, go south, and after bypassing the island, to a new country.”

According to the description of the fishermen, those scouts quickly supplemented the map. To the east of Xinguo, the river further expanded and became a river and lake. This river is very large, with an island in the middle, and some small islands scattered nearby. Water pirates infested.

Just as he was about to continue walking, suddenly, a scout exclaimed: "No, the water thief is here!"

"what?!"

Those scouts were startled. Looking to the left and right, they saw water thieves appearing in the mist to the south. Those water thieves were riding in small boats. When they saw their cargo, they shouted excitedly. Many water thieves are brandishing knives and wearing silk scarves on their heads.

On some cold days, those water thieves were all wearing thin clothes, and their feet were still barefoot.

There were more than a dozen small boats, quickly heading towards the fleet of Xinguo scouts.

"General, what should I do?"

There was some commotion on the side of the Xinguo cargo ship, but there was no confusion. After all, they were all soldiers.

"According to the established plan, give them all the goods and take out the weapons."

"Yes!"

All Xinguo scouts took out their weapons, all of which were spears, which were longer than those of the water thieves, and even had scouts and shields.

Several boats gathered together and were vigilant against each other, but the boats of the water thieves came quickly, and the leader was a water thief boss in black, with one eye covered by a black cloth, obviously a one-eyed dragon, There is a golden ring on his broadsword, which is longer and thicker than ordinary broadswords. Standing on the bow of the boat, he looks extremely domineering.

"I didn't expect there to be big fish in this weather, hahaha, I can have a good meal this winter."

The water thief boss had a cold smile on his face, and the captain of the scout immediately said: "Wait a minute, we can give you all the goods, let us go, since you are asking for money, why bother to take your life?"

"Why did I let you go?"

"If you don't let us go, we will resist desperately. There will be casualties in your hands, and the goods will be thrown into the river. Let us go. Your hands will not be injured or injured, and you can get all the goods. You choose."

The water thief boss narrowed his eyes: "Okay, I'll send a boat over, and you can throw all the goods over."

"it is good."

Several small boats passed by, and the Xinguo scouts did exactly the same, throwing all the goods onto the opposing boats, and after a while, those water thieves also returned with a full load.

The Xinguo scout breathed a sigh of relief, and the fisherman trembled a little: "What should we do now?"

"Let's go back first, this kind of weather is not suitable for continuing exploration."

But at this moment, those water thieves who hadn't left yet shouted in alarm: "The Jinfan thief, the Jinfan thief is here!"

"what?!"

Those water thieves who were originally happy seemed to be trembling when they heard these three words, and their eyes were filled with fear.

Seeing this scene, the Xinguo scout captain immediately said: "Wait, let's see what happened first."

The group of water thieves seemed to be in a state of panic. The one-eyed dragon in black at the head immediately raised his sword and shouted, "What are you afraid of?! What is there to be afraid of about the Jinfan thief? I, the black-eyed dragon, just killed him!"

As soon as the words fell, hearty laughter sounded: "Hahahaha, if you, Zheng Heilong, can kill me, so what if I give you the title of Jinfan thief?!"

Before the person arrived, I could only hear the heroic and hearty laughter, which seemed to fill the surface of the river. The mist in all directions was filled with his voice, and even the water waves on the river were swaying.

The Xinguo scouts opened their eyes wide, and the black-eyed dragon was extremely tense. The next moment, in the mist from the east, dozens of light boats broke through the water quickly, and the water thieves on the boat, everyone It is carrying a bow and arrow, with bird feathers on its head, bells on its body, and splendid clothes on its body, which are extremely gorgeous.

As for the man at the front, he was eight feet long, with thick arms, veins all over his forehead, and a scarf embroidered on his forehead. With a big knife inserted, just looking at it, I feel extremely brave.

Seeing this scene, the black-eyed dragon was also terrified, but it was too late to run. The Jinfan thief's boat was extremely fast, and the light boat was flying straight towards them.
