Chapter 621: Southbound (18)

At the beginning of setting up a nest in Parrot Island, Xie Yongzhi never thought of building this place into a camp. In his opinion, the Xie family's tribe belongs to the army, and its fate should be to fight on the battlefield, establish martial arts for the main family with their lives and flesh, and help the lord regain his prestige. Being a coward in Parrot Island is just an expedient measure, and it cannot be done for long. Making this place indestructible is harmful to the morale of the army and the main family, and it is necessary to invest a large amount of goods to build a barracks, which is also a huge burden for the Xie family today.

What's more, the advantage of the navy is that it is mobile and flexible, and it can flee by boat once it is defeated. If you hold the fortress and use the naval army as a pawn, even if you can hold on for a while, being surrounded by the enemy for a long time is a dead end. Under the auspices of Xie Yongzhi, his lair was slightly more like a village than a military village, and the so-called prison cells were a few wooden houses in the corners. Compared to other buildings, there is no difference except for the extra sturdy and cramped location.

After all, this song has not completely degenerated into a water bandit, even if it does some thief deeds, it will not go to kidnap people for extortion. The purpose of this cell is to punish the criminals in the army who do not respect the law, and second, to arrest some important people and torture them to confess, and the effect of torture is much higher than that of imprisonment. There are all kinds of torture instruments in the cell, and once someone is locked in, it is often accompanied by the sound of screams and wails, which makes people feel creepy. That's why it's located in the middle of nowhere.

Xie Yongzhi's original intention was to use Han Yue as a bait to trap Xu Le, the cell was the key to the trap, its defense was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and although there were not many people patrolling outside, they were the most warlike elites in the army. Even those who are good at night warfare have been assigned half of the guards on duty, and eight neatly tied soldiers are arranged to guard them with bows and crossbows. Because he got the news from Xie Shufang and knew that Xu Le was invincible, Xie Yongzhi was extremely cautious in his arrangement. Even if they guarded the cell with such a scale of manpower, the intention was not to rely on them to kill Xu Le here. What they have to do is very simple, they just need to signal when someone breaks in.

All the guards are equipped with bamboo whistles, as long as they find Xu Le, they will immediately sound the whistle to warn, and the soldiers and horses of the entire camp can be dispatched when they hear the sound. Since he knew that Xu Le's martial arts combat power was far beyond the reach of people, he simply treated him as a god and demon. At the beginning of setting up the plan, Xie Yongzhi wanted to concentrate the whole group to win, even if Xu Le had three heads and six arms, he was destined to be unable to escape.

He has thought about it many times in his heart, this arrangement can be called foolproof, no matter how good Xu Le's skills are, he can't escape. But at this time, it was found that this was not the case, and when he walked from his residence to the outside of the cell, he saw neither the patrol post nor Xie San's trace, which was obviously abnormal. Xie Yongzhi's hairs stood up suddenly, his right hand grasped the hilt of the knife, and at the same time commanded the soldiers behind him: "Whistle!" ”

The sound of the bamboo whistle was like a ghost crying, waking up the sleeping Xie family generals. But I saw that the doors of one room after another were pushed open, and the disheveled man rushed out of the room with a bow and knife in his hand, either shirtless or naked, looking very embarrassed.

This time, Shen Guang led the troops, unlike the previous officers and soldiers who copied and suppressed, did not set up a formation to attack the mountains and seize the islands, let alone besiege them in all directions, and the patrol posts could not find their traces on the water. Xie Yongzhi sent spies to Hanyang to inquire about the news, but he never saw any trace of the officers and soldiers. If it weren't for the words of the head of the family, everyone would almost suspect that this warning signal was fraudulent.

Water is no better than land, as long as the soldiers do not go to Parrot Island, there is nowhere to hide. No matter how fast the ship goes, there is time, and it is impossible to appear in front of everyone out of thin air. It is also for this reason that these tribes want to escape. Since the officers and men did not block the waterway, and they did not even know where they were, they naturally had time to escape, and they could not fight to the death. Before the arrival of the large army of officers and soldiers, there is no need to be armed as if facing the enemy, and it is inevitable that they will look embarrassed at this time.

People are flesh and blood, and it is okay to not sleep for a day or two, and even those who are beaten by iron for a long time can't resist it. Even if the elite tiger can fight for two or three days in a row, it is impossible to maintain a state of presence for a long time day and night. If you forcibly let your subordinates stay in good gear and armor when they can't see the enemy, they are afraid that if they don't wait for the fight, they will mutiny first. What's more, these troops can no longer meet the requirements of the army, and it is already commendable to be able to carry weapons and kill them immediately when they hear the whistle.

Xie Yi, the leader of the trilogy who had always been at odds with Xie Yongzhi, was the first to notice something unusual, he looked around, rushed into the cell without saying a word, and after a while, he rushed out of the cell with a blue face to Xie Yongzhi's side, and whispered: "Something happened!" ”

The cell was empty, and Han Yue, who had been severely punished and dying for days, was nowhere to be found, and the ground was full of corpses. The Xie family members who were on duty here, as well as Xie San, had all died. Most of them didn't have time to draw their weapons before they were killed. Two men with whistles in their hands seemed to want to send a warning signal, but before they could put them in their mouths, they were pierced through the throat by sharp arrows.

The visitor entered through the roof, which had only a small vent for ventilation, and only children could pass through, so there was no need to be guarded. But now a big hole has been dug in it, big enough for adults to get in and out. The attackers jumped down from there, struck the guards off guard, and slaughtered with such virtuosity that they were killed before they could deliver the news.

Xie Yongzhi looked at the corpse, thinking about the situation at that time, and only felt a chill behind him. Can you still kill someone by jumping from such a height? And the shot was so neat that these elite soldiers were killed on the spot before they could send a signal. Who is Xu Le? Could it really be some kind of demon?

In front of his eyes, these elite soldiers have become lambs to the slaughter, and they have no power to resist at all. If it wasn't Xie San who came here at that time, but himself, I'm afraid that the end would not be much better. Is it worth it for the head of the family to provoke such a character as an opponent just to please the nobles?

In front of his subordinates, Xie Yongzhi didn't dare to show the slightest cowardice, especially when Xie Yi was also by his side, so he couldn't be careless. He took a deep breath and kept his tone as calm as possible: "Don't panic, everyone! Even if Xu Le's skills are strong, he is still a mortal, how can Han Youna and other big men be so easy to take away? Xie San and the others have not been dead for a long time, and Xu Le must be around here. Everyone turned on the lights and looked for people, don't let them go! ”

"Xie Da, this Parrot Continent can hide 10,000 soldiers, if the four of them are dedicated to hiding, it is not so easy to find." Xie Yi really opened his mouth to stop him, "At the moment when the great enemy is present, if the brothers all go to find someone, what if the meat flying immortal leads the troops to kill?" ”

Xie Yongzhi waited for this moment, and scolded Xie Yi angrily with his eyes: "Bold! What kind of heart do you use to demoralize us? No matter how great his ability is, he can't fly over with his soldiers across the water! Our brother hasn't seen the boat for a few days, so where did he come from? Xu Le's people were named by the lord to kill, and now they have ruined many of our brothers, and they can't spare him in public or private. Do you want to disobey the Lord's command? ”

Xie Yi didn't rush to talk back, but untied the straight knife on his waist and threw it on the ground, and then said to Xie Yong: "Xie Da, your ability is better than mine, and now that you have disarmed the weapon, you are not your opponent." If you can trust me, take a step to speak. If you can't believe it, you can cut me off now, and let's make it convenient for each other to avoid trouble! ”

Xie Yongzhi looked at Xie Yi, seeing that his attitude was sincere and not fake, and listening to his tone, he really had something urgent to say, so he didn't continue to stare at him, nodded and said, "I'll listen to what you have to say!" ”

The two came to the side, and the soldiers around them all avoided in amusement, leaving room for the two to talk. Xie Yi lowered his voice and said, "Meat Feixian has already landed on the island. Look at those corpses, they weren't injured by one person at all. Besides, apart from the meat flying fairy, who else can jump from such a high place without hurting the oily skin? He and Xu Le are afraid that they are already united! ”

"I'm afraid it can't be, right? One of them is Li Yuan's subordinates, and the other is Yang Guang's cronies, so they should be incompatible, how can they join forces? ”

"Yang Guang and Li Yuan are cousins, and they are both nobles, they are all a family no matter how they fight, and they can't get along with us. What's so strange about joining forces against us? Parrot Island is so big, don't you scatter the soldiers and horses, isn't it convenient for them to kill? Now you can't think about fighting, you have to think about how to save people! ”

Xie Yongzhi's brows furrowed, he was also moved by Xie Yi's words, but on the other hand, he also had to think about his own net worth and his father-in-law. Even if Shen Guang goes to the continent and joins forces with Xu Le, there will not be many people, otherwise he will definitely be able to hear the rumors. There may not be ten people on both sides combined, and there are hundreds of capable soldiers under his command.

If so many people are scared away by a few people, how can they explain in front of the lord? In the future, when the news leaks, what face does the Xie family have? Besides, an elite team is not only able to kill and fight, but also has the courage to fight with others. Hundreds of people were scared away by a few people, and I am afraid that they will lose the courage to fight with people in the future, and I don't know how much it will cost to restore their combat strength, which is also something that has to be considered.

Xie Yi said: "Xie Da Mo is delayed, time waits for no one." Shen Guang will not go to the island casually, he must have arranged an ambush outside, and if he is late, he is afraid that he will not be able to go. You give me a hundred brothers, and I will take them to search and kill Xu Le and Shen Guang. You take the money and food of the people and horses and take the five-tooth boat to go first, and don't rush back to the lord's side, find another place to settle down, do business for a few years without capital, and look at the rumors. ”

Xie Yong was stunned, he and Xie Yi had never been at odds, and the two fought more than once for this Qu Ming. Although Xie Yi's martial arts are not as good as his own, he is not favored in front of the lord, and every battle ends in failure. However, he is quite expected to win the hearts of soldiers in the army, and he can also find opportunities to embarrass himself.

As far as the head of the family is concerned, he also does not want to see his subordinates only use the horse's head to look forward, so he ignores the fight between the two, causing the team to be alienated. If he said these words loudly, he would definitely be able to win the support of the soldiers, even if he himself was not easy to suppress. Not only did he not take the opportunity to make trouble now, but took the initiative to take on the task of sending him to death, which is too unexpected.

Xie Yi said: "I know what you're thinking, and I'm not afraid to tell you, I've never served you, and even now I don't recognize you as a leader." However, as a man, he must always have a certain amount of weight, and he can't be like a woman. Now that the great calamity is coming, if the fight continues, won't it be a bad thing for the lord? Your skills are better than mine, and this group of centaurs should naturally be under your command. This life of mine is owned by the lord, and it should be returned to the lord. In the future, I will say a word to my lord, a certain worthy of him! ”

Xie Yongzhi didn't expect Xie Yi to have such a mind, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, and he didn't know what to do. Xie Yi lost his temper: "What time is it, and if you are so gentle, what big thing can you achieve?" Hurry up, it's too late! ”
