"Don't worry about so much, let's withdraw, keep the green hills, and don't worry about running out of firewood." After Zhang Xuanling finished speaking, he glanced at the pier unwillingly, and then waved his hand, and everyone followed him closely, saying goodbye Walking in the apse, when reaching the innermost part, Henry Zhang opened the exit of a secret passage, and he was the first to get in.

After walking along the dark secret road for a long time, a ray of light finally appeared in front of him. Before he got out, Henry Zhang looked around carefully. When he saw no one nearby, he got out of it and looked back at Huyan Village I can't help but sigh, after more than ten years of accumulation, I have developed Huyanzhai to the scale it is today, but I didn't expect it to fall to where it is today.

Since the officers and soldiers dared to attack the Huyan village so blatantly, it must be that Yue Laosi must have fallen into the trap of others. What made me most unwilling was that I was wiped out by the officers and soldiers with a thunderbolt without knowing why. Be clean.

While Zhang Xuanling was staring blankly at Huyan Village in the distance, Yu Hao, the owner of the second village, reminded carefully: "Brother, where should we go next? Why don't we go to Lingguiwu?"

"Fart." Zhang Xuanling stared, and snorted heavily: "Even if I starve to death, I will not go to Lingguiwu. Besides, the officers and soldiers are the first to move this time. We may be the next unlucky one. Those people in Wu, so we have to think of a perfect plan, so we can't be chased like this again."

"What does that mean by elder brother?" Yu Hao blinked and asked curiously.

"Simply, let's vote for King Ning." Henry Zhang said viciously with a heartbroken heart.

"King Ning?" Yu Hao was startled suddenly, thinking of what Zhang Xuanling said to everyone a few days ago, he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Brother, didn't you say that King Ning will definitely rebel, and following him can only be a dead end? ? Why did you change your mind now?"

"Hehe." Zhang Xuanling smiled wryly, looked back at his remaining troops, and couldn't help but sighed softly: "It's now and then. When King Ning sent people to recruit, our soldiers in Huyanzhai were strong and strong. If you lack that little money, it’s not worth it because the money will cost your brother’s life, but now it’s different, there is no money, no boat, just how big waves can be made by the dozen of us, anyway, there is nothing, it’s better Take this rotten life to fight, if we succeed, we will be the heroes of the founding of the country in the future, if we fail, we will be heroes again in 18 years.”

"Brother is right. Anyway, we have nothing now, so we might as well fight it out."

"Yes, I worked hard."

With a few words, Henry Zhang immediately revived his already sluggish morale, glanced in the direction of Huyan Village, and then walked to the other side of the mountain.

The Fran cannon was indeed very powerful. After two rounds of fighting, almost most of the buildings in the cottage had been destroyed. Wang Shouren seized the opportunity to send officers and soldiers ashore to sweep the inside of the cottage.

The resistance encountered on the road was really pitiful. At the beginning, Wang Shouren was still worried that it might be a trick of water thieves, and planned to lure his army into their ambush circle. There were fewer and fewer people arriving, until they reached the innermost part of the cottage, but there was no one to be seen at all.

Looking at the neatly stacked silver boxes in the house, Wang Shouren felt annoyed again and again. If he had been more decisive and marched faster just now, he would definitely not let the bandit leader of Huyanzhai escape. With so many people and so many boats, but let the bandit leader slip out of my nose, how should I explain myself when I face Mr. He again?

However, Wang Shouren is gratified that because the water thief fled in a hurry, he did not take any gold, silver and jewelry away. After searching carefully, he found gold, silver and jewelry worth more than one hundred thousand taels. When the bandit leader is found, these can be considered to be able to make a difference.

After Wang Shouren burned down Huyanzhai and returned to Suzhou, He Jiaan was already waiting at the wharf of Suzhou city, looked at Wang Shouren with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "I wish Mr. Wang a victory and return."

Wang Shouren said with a face of shame: "Your Majesty entrusted me with the entrustment. Although the Huyan village was captured, the bandit leader ran away, and only a dozen of them were caught. Oh, by the way, the bandit leader escaped in a hurry, but Nearly 10,000+ taels of gold, silver and jewelry were left behind, please check it, Mr. He."

Not being able to catch the bandit leader is a very normal thing. After all, whoever is a bandit is not extremely slippery, and will definitely run away immediately if he finds something wrong. But those gold, silver and jewelry, the foreign money is not for nothing.

He Jiaan comforted with a smile: "Lord Wang, don't care about temporary gains and losses. It's not a big deal to run away with a few water thieves. Everyone has been busy for so long today, and their bodies are exhausted. As for the gold and silver, we should take them first." Go back and take care of it, and wait until tomorrow, apart from turning it over to the national treasury, reward the brothers."

That's 10,000+ taels of gold and silver. From He Jiaan's tone, there shouldn't be too many that can be handed over. The rest will be divided privately. Is it against the law of the country? As the censor of Zuoqian, Wang Shouren hesitated , or sighed lightly, pretending not to know about it.

Being able to stay in the river for such a long time in such a cold weather has already reached the limit that Yue Zhongqi can bear. After swimming with all his strength for a while, he finally couldn't take it anymore and swam from the Yangtze River to the Shore, trembling all over, walked to the shore.

There was a small fishing village not too far from the river, and it looked like it was only a dozen or so households in size. He knocked on the door with all his strength: "My fellow, open the door and save me."

The people in the room obviously heard the voice calling for help from outside. After hesitating for a while, someone inside the room asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

Yue Zhongqi said hastily: "I am the steward of the caravan of the royal family of Suzhou, and I was ordered to transport the goods to Guangzhou. Unexpectedly, I was robbed by water thieves on the river just now. Most of the fleet sank to the bottom of the river. I was lucky enough to escape. I have to die, I just want to warm up here, and leave immediately after my body warms up."

That's right.

The sound of the cannon on the river just now had indeed reached the village. After comparing it with what he said, it should be true. The people in the room did not hesitate, and immediately opened the door, and a pair of elderly people appeared in the room. In front of Yue Zhongqi.

"Thank you, old man, thank you, old man." Yue Zhongqi scrambled and crawled into the room, and hurriedly moved to the side of the stove. Although there was no charcoal fire here, the raging fire had already given him enough happiness. As for the future , Think again slowly.

Probably because Yue Zhongqi was so pitiful, the old man specially brought a steamed bun with miscellaneous grains and handed it to Yue Zhongqi. If it was before, Yue Zhongqi would not even look at the steamed bun, but now he holds the steamed bun like a treasure. While thanking, he stuffed it into his mouth.

"Eat slowly, drink some water, don't choke." The old man's voice was very kind, and even Yue Zhongqi was moved. After a while, the water on his body finally dried up a lot, although it was not completely dry, But it was much better than before.

Just when Yue Zhongqi was thinking about what to do next, there were footsteps outside the courtyard, and then a nice voice shouted outside: "Grandpa, I'm back."

"It's Yu'er who's back."

The old man in the room quickly stood up and opened the door. Yue Zhongqi looked intently, and it was a girl about fifteen or six years old who came in with a gust of cold wind, carrying a bundle of dry firewood on her back, and put it into the room with difficulty. When he was about to speak, he noticed Yue Zhongqi who was warming himself up by the fire. He was taken aback for a moment, and said shyly, "Grandpa, there are guests at home."

The old man sighed and said: "It's not that those damned water thieves came out to do evil again and robbed other people's boats. It took a lot of effort to escape here. He will leave when he is dry."

"Oh, that's it." After the girl responded, she nodded to Yue Zhongqi, and she went into the next room and didn't come out.

With just two sentences, Yue Zhongqi's soul has already been seduced by the young girl. I have seen many women, and the one I was going to marry yesterday was even more stunning, but when I suddenly saw this country woman, I felt like His head was itchy, looking at the closed door, Yue Zhongqi couldn't help but imagine what was going on behind the door, if possible, how much he wanted to get this girl.

Thinking about it, the body's desire became a little uncontrollable, Yue Zhongqi stood up slowly, and asked with a smile: "Old man, it will be dark outside soon, it is not very convenient to walk when it is dark, I Can I spend the night with you tonight?"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, and said flatly: "This is not possible. There are only two rooms in my house, one is for us and the other is for our granddaughter. There is no place for you. Since you have It’s already dry, so let’s leave early.”

Probably seeing that something was wrong with Yue Zhongqi's eyes, the old man had already started to chase Yue Zhongqi out.

Yue Zhongqi smiled, waved his hands and said: "Hey, old man, why do you reject people thousands of miles away, or else, as long as you stay with me for one night, after you go back, I will give you ten taels of silver, how about it? "

The old man was not moved by Yue Zhongqi's sugar-coated cannonball, and still shook his head: "Don't say it is ten taels, even 100 taels will not work, you go, go now."

After being rejected again, Yue Zhongqi finally became a little impatient, snorted heavily, and said in dissatisfaction: "You old bastard, you don't eat toasts, you don't eat fines, I've been on the Yangtze River for so many years, who doesn't like you?" If you've seen it, just stay here obediently, otherwise, I'll kill your whole family."

"You..." The old man was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't think that he had done something bad with his good intentions. Seeing Yue Zhongqi turn around and walk towards his granddaughter's room, he still didn't understand what he wanted to do, so he tried his best to do it with his old bones. He rushed forward, grabbed Yue Zhongqi, and said loudly, "You bastard, what are you doing?"

"What am I going to do, don't you know?" Yue Zhongqi snorted coldly, and as soon as he raised his arm, he threw the old man aside, and then went to the door of the girl's room, and he just kicked his leg, the door was not strong The door was kicked open immediately, and the girl in the room was startled, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing, I'm going to call someone."

"Calling someone?" Yue Zhongqi sneered coldly: "Calling, I want to see who can come to save you. You just obey me obediently today. Maybe I can make you a Mrs. Yazhai or something when I am happy. , but if you dare to call someone..."

After finishing speaking, Yue Zhongqi pointed at the old man lying on the ground, and said coldly: "I'm going to kill your whole family."

Seeing that Yue Zhongqi didn't seem to be lying, the girl was startled, she didn't know what to do now, but the old man on the ground shouted desperately: "Yu'er, leave us alone, run quickly, run quickly."

"Grandpa." Yu'er cried out in grief and anger, stared at Yue Zhongqi and cursed: "You bastard, just give up your heart, if you die, our whole family will die together."

"Want to die?" Yue Zhongqi snorted coldly: "Then I will fulfill you."

After finishing speaking, Yue Zhongqi walked towards the old man's house on the ground. Just as a tragedy was about to happen, someone outside the courtyard suddenly shouted: "Is anyone there?"

Yue Zhongqi was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly became vigilant. At this moment, when the old woman heard someone in the yard, she rushed to the door without thinking about herself, opened the door and shouted: "Come and save us."

It was none other than Tang Xiao who was chasing after him in the yard. He didn't see the trace left by Yue Zhongqi, but He Jiaan was afraid that the water thief would harm one party if he ran away, so he asked everyone to come out and look for it. Tang Xiao originally He wanted to leave after checking here, but just after asking a question, he saw the door was opened, and an old woman rushed out staggeringly.

Let me go, are there really water thieves escaping here?

Tang Xiao was just dazed, then Yue Zhongqi rushed out of the room, with a kitchen knife he had just picked up in his hand, and chopped off at Tang Xiao's head.

Perhaps even Tang Xiao didn't expect that when he was about to go back, he could actually win the big prize here.

Today's battle suffocated him. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even have a chance to make a move. After a row of guns passed by, there were no intact warships in sight.
