Chapter Ninety-Six: When the Old Men Meet, They Draw Their Swords and Face Each Other

The courage of the soldiers, especially in the era of cold weapons, a brave general, sometimes can even determine the outcome of a war, such as the current Master Mu Xuan, he led several monks to kill the Japanese invaders seven in and seven out, resulting in the collapse of the Japanese army, of course, the hundred households who commanded the naval army to fight will not miss this opportunity, and immediately personally lead people to start a fierce counterattack.

Many of the Japanese who did not have time to get on the boat were forced to the sea, either jumping into the sea to escape, or being killed by the navy, and the sea water was also dyed red with blood for a while.

"Win! We won, and the pirates have fled! Lao Li beside Li Jie was seeing those widows who were fleeing in embarrassment, and immediately shouted excitedly, and then the other villagers came to their senses and immediately cheered.

Li Jie was also very excited, he thought that this time he would be more auspicious, but he didn't expect that such a fierce man as Master Mu Jiao would turn around, and he would turn the tide of the battle with his own strength, not only saving his life, but also saving the lives of the entire Immortal Village behind him, and even the entire people of Jintang Island.

"Quick, come and help the wounded!" However, Li Jie soon came to his senses, and immediately instructed the villagers behind him that the Japanese were beaten away, but the naval army also suffered many casualties, and many wounded people fell in a pool of blood at this time.

Lao Lizheng also woke up when he heard Li Jie's words, immediately threw down the hoe in his hand, and ran to the battlefield with the villagers with stretchers, door panels and other things, only to see that there were dead bodies everywhere, and many wounded fell to the ground and groaned.

For the soldiers of the navy, of course, the villagers will carefully carry them back for treatment, but for the Japanese who are not dead, the villagers are merciless to make up a few knives, after all, they all have family members who died at the hands of these Japanese invaders.

Li Jie also came to Master Mu Jiao in person at this time, only to see that the other party was covered in blood at this time, even his snow-white beard was dyed red, and his head was also full of blood spots.

"Thank you Master Mu Jiao for your help, if it weren't for you and your disciples, I'm afraid that all of us would have died at the hands of the Japanese Kou!" Li Jie bowed to Master Mu Gong very respectfully.

"The deputy envoy is polite, the poor monks are just for self-preservation, after all, if the officers and soldiers are defeated, it will be difficult to defeat the Japanese monks alone!" Master Mu said politely, but what he said was also the truth, no matter how brave he and his disciples were, when their strength was exhausted, it was the soldiers of the Navy brought by Li Jie who really repelled the Japanese invaders.

"Master, you're injured!" Li Jie also suddenly discovered at this time that Master Mu Jiao's chest and placket were torn, obviously he was slashed, after all, there were no eyes on the battlefield, and Master Mu Jiao was brave and brave, but he was not wearing armor, and it was inevitable that he would be injured.

"It's okay, just a few minor injuries!" Master Mu said lightly, but waved his hand gently.

However, Li Jie didn't dare to slack off, and immediately personally helped him to sit down, and asked people to fetch hot water and wound medicine, he first asked Master Mu to take off his shirt, and was ready to use hot water to help him clean his wounds, but when he saw Master Mu Jiao's upper body, he was stunned for a moment.

I saw that Master Mu Jiao's body was covered with scars, the long ones were sword wounds, the round ones were gunshot wounds, especially some dense scars like copper coins, and they were all over the body, which should be the scars left by the arrows.

Looking at this shocking scar, Li Jie was also stunned for a while, and then asked while scrubbing his wounds: "Master Mu Jiao, you should have joined the army before, right?" ”

"I'm old, don't mention the things of the past!" Master Mu Jiao didn't allow Li Jie to ask more, so he directly blocked this question.

Li Jie was also a little helpless, but judging from the scars on the other party's body and the bravery when he killed the enemy just now, this Master Mu Jiao should not be a nameless, but he doesn't know what his real name is?

"Boat! Our warship is back! But at this moment, suddenly a soldier of the navy pointed to the sea and shouted.

Li Jie heard the sound and looked, sure enough, he found a regular fleet on the sea, and saw that the flag was the sailor army that Tang He took away, which made Li Jie also breathe a sigh of relief, although the Japanese retreated, but he was really worried that there would be another Japanese invader, after all, no one dared to guarantee whether there would be a third batch of Japanese invaders.

"Master Mu, you have made a great contribution this time, and it just so happens that the Duke of Xinguo has returned, and I will personally ask for credit for you!" Li Jie said excitedly at this time while bandaging Master Mu.

Master Mu Jian just smiled noncommittally, and didn't seem to care about any credit, which made Li Jie even more admired, what is a high monk? This is the real monk in front of him, and with this alone, Master Mu Jiao is countless times stronger than those monks in the capital who open temples openly and secretly lend usury.

After Li Jie bandaged the wound of Master Mu Jiao, he went to treat the other wounded, and the soldiers of the navy suffered great casualties, many of them were seriously injured and needed to be treated as soon as possible, for example, Jiang Zhen was cut into the thigh, and now he is bleeding non-stop, his face is extremely white, and if he doesn't stop bleeding, he will probably die of excessive blood loss.

However, just as Li Jie was stitching up Jiang Xuan's wounds, he suddenly whispered to Li Jie: "Li Banyu, that Master Mu is definitely not an ordinary person, and he may even be the person the imperial court is looking for, you had better hold him back and don't let him leave!" ”

Li Jie frowned when he heard this, and then he spoke: "Jiang Qianhu, I don't care who Master Mu Jian is, he helped us today and saved the lives of the people on an island, so if he wants to leave, I will never stop him!" ”

At the same time, Master Mu Jiao, who was sitting on the stone, looked at the Daming Navy that was getting closer and closer on the sea, and his expression was also a little complicated, and at this time, one of his disciples also quietly came to his side and whispered: "Master, Tang He is on the boat, should we avoid it?" ”

Master Mu also pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then slowly exhaled and said, "Jintang Island is so big, where can we hide?" Instead of hiding his head and showing his tail, it is better to see him generously! ”

The disciple also nodded silently after hearing this, Jintang is an island, and if you want to leave, you must take a boat from the pier, but now that the dock has been destroyed by the Japanese Invaders, the warships of the Daming Navy are in front of them, even if they want to go, they can't go, and I'm afraid they will be found by Tang He if they hide for the time being, and then they will let Tang He underestimate them.

Thinking of this, the eight monks who followed Master Mu Jiao also gave up the idea of avoiding, and at this time, they stood behind Master Mu Jiao on the left and right, although they were all injured, but they stood straight, even if they lost the general trend back then, they could never lose to each other in momentum, not to mention that Tang He was their subordinate defeated.

As soon as the warship docked on the dock, Tang He was the first to get off the boat, and his face was full of anxious expressions, he already knew the news that Jintang Island was attacked again, so he was also anxious along the way, for fear that Li Jie would have an accident, and he would not be able to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.

"Grandpa Tang, I'm here!" Li Jie was sewing up a soldier at this time, and he couldn't give up halfway, so he shouted to Tang He.

Tang He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Jie's voice, as long as this kid was alive, then he strode to Li Jie's side and laughed: "You kid is really fateful, I met the fleeing widows when I came, and then I knew about the attack on your side, which almost scared me to death, I didn't expect you to beat so many widows back!" ”

"Grandpa Tang doesn't know, this time it's all up to Master Mu to defeat the Japanese invaders!" Li Jie finally stitched the last stitch at this time, and then stood up and pointed to Master Mu Jiao behind him.

Tang He only saw Master Mu Jiao at this time, only to see that he was just stunned for a moment at first, feeling that the other party seemed to be a little familiar, but then his face changed greatly, and the whole person seemed to be frightened by something, and then took a few steps back, "Cangchang" pulled out his waist knife and pointed at the other party and shouted: "It's you!" ”

Looking at the tip of the knife pointing at him, Master Mu Jiao smiled with some disdain: "Tang He, do you want to compete with me again?" ”

"Huh? You guys...... Know? Li Jie was also a little dazed at this time, although he concluded that Master Mu Jiao had an extraordinary background, but he didn't expect him and Tang He to know each other, and looking at the way they drew their swords and faced each other, they were definitely not friends, but more like enemies, which was difficult to do now!
