Gao Cheng leaned on the side of the boat and looked ahead, and saw Sun Yue and the old man beside him, the head of the Sun family in Huai'an had promised last time that when he sent troops to exterminate the water thieves, he would also send elite assistance, and he did not break his promise.

With just this ninth-level realm old man, he is worth hundreds of elite soldiers.

The small islands in the middle of Hakuba Lake are full of shrubs and grasses, some of which are too steep for people to live in, while others are flat enough to be cultivated for fishing and planting.

The two small islands through which the twenty warships passed were wooded and inaccessible. Seeing that he was about to come to the place, Lu Dai ordered the warship to slow down and move slowly, so as not to alarm the other party when it encountered water thieves.

Gao Cheng looked forward, only to see that the waterway in front of him suddenly became a little narrow, and two large islands appeared on both sides.

On the island, there seem to be a lot of wooden houses, and some people dressed as fishermen. On both sides of the island, rocks block the view. If you look from other directions, you won't be able to find the people of the wooden houses on the island.

"Childe, the lair of the White Horse Lake thieves has been found! Gao Tai's face showed joy, as long as they found the nest of the water thieves, their carefully trained naval army could defeat the other party in one fell swoop, and then the prince could be appointed by the imperial court, become a county lieutenant, and take the first step to become a leader.

Gao Cheng's eyes had become very terrifying now, if his vision was not blocked, he could see movement miles away, and when everyone saw the water thief's lair in front of him, he immediately found that there seemed to be movement on both sides of the waterway.

"Summons, stop the ship!" he immediately ordered.

At this time, Lu Dai saw the surrounding waterway terrain, and also frowned, the lair of the water thieves in Baima Lake was very hidden and suitable for defense, if two ambushes suddenly came out from both sides, his side would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Hearing Gao Cheng's order, he immediately waved the command flag, and the twenty small boats, which were originally moving slowly, immediately stopped on the water when they saw the order.

"Brother Ziming, is there something wrong around?" Sun Yue reacted very quickly, and when he saw the boat stop, he immediately felt a pang in his heart, and asked Gao Cheng in a low voice.

Gao Cheng nodded slowly and said, "This group of water thieves is not only powerful, but they also seem to know a little bit of the art of war, and we have now been ambushed by them!"

"What?"

"How is this possible? Did the water thieves have long expected us to raid?"

Sun Yue and Gao Tai were taken aback, and Sun Yue showed a trace of panic on his face, but he had been educated by the family for many years, so he could barely maintain his mentality when he heard this kind of bad news.

Gao Cheng shifted his gaze to Zhang Mu's body and sighed slightly, "I didn't expect that there are talents among the water thieves, so sharp!"

"After knowing the situation of my heavy reward, I directly sent spies, deliberately told the location of my lair, and then prepared an ambush in advance, if we are unprepared, we will inevitably lose a lot this time!"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Mu, who was leading the way in front, suddenly changed his face, and subconsciously jumped into the water, but when Lu Dai ordered the boat to stop just now, he was already on guard against him.

Bang! Lu Dai stretched out his right hand and directly grabbed Zhang Mu's collar, and slammed him to the back deck, instantly breaking several ribs from the other party, and blood oozed from his mouth.

"Zhang Mu is actually a spy of the water thieves!" Gao Tai and Sun Yue reacted at this time, shocked and angry.

These water thieves actually played them like monkeys, knowing that there would be brave men under the heavy reward, and the location of their lair would be discovered by the officers and soldiers sooner or later, so they simply turned passive into active. He resorted to a counter-strategy and sent water thieves to act as leaders and lead everyone to the ambush circle.

If the water thief's plan is successful, the water army that Gao Cheng has painstakingly trained will inevitably suffer huge losses. When the time comes, there will be no officers and soldiers to strangle, and these water thieves will be able to continue to be at large for a while.

Lu Dai directly grabbed Zhang Mu, dragged him in front of Gao Cheng, and arched his hand and said, "Lord, since we have found an ambush ahead, it is better to withdraw for the time being, and wait until we are ready to exterminate the water thieves!"

Sun Yue also hurriedly persuaded: "Yes, yes, Brother Ziming, anyway, we have also found the nest of the water thieves, and it is not too late to come back when we are fully prepared!"

When Zhang Mu heard the two of them talking, he knew that he would inevitably die after being exposed, so he simply stopped hiding it, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his face.

Gao Cheng waved his hand and said, "No, since we already know that the other party has an ambush, just let all the soldiers be on guard! With me and Mr. Sun joining forces, as long as the leader of the water thieves does not break through the transcendental, he will definitely be defeated! Besides, the two small islands in front may not be the lair of the water thieves!"

Gao Tai, Lu Dai and Sun Yue immediately reacted, their eyes lit up, and they thought of Gao Cheng's record of killing the ninth-layer warrior with one sword two months ago. The samurai of the ninth layer of training power, charging into battle, jumping and breaking the army, no one can stop him, and now he has two masters of the ninth layer of training, are you still afraid of a gang of water thieves ambushing?

Moreover, the water thieves may not tell the truth about their lair. The wooden houses and figures on the two islands in front of you may have been deliberately baited to make everyone take it lightly.

Lu Dai immediately agreed and said: "What the lord said is very true, since the main force of the water thieves is here, we will meet it directly." Kill the leader of the water thieves, and the others will inevitably disperse. ”

Gao Cheng nodded, suddenly took a step forward, thoughts poured out, and everyone suddenly found that Zhang Mu's eyes became foggy, after Gao Cheng cultivated the Soul Transfer Dafa to the realm of the grandmaster, he used it without warning, and he didn't need to look at each other through his eyes, and with a movement of his spiritual power, he could pull the target into the illusion.

It's just that as his spiritual power becomes stronger, the Soul Shifting Dafa has not a weak lethality, and after it is cast on ordinary people, the other party's spirit and will can't withstand the impact of strong spiritual power at all, and there is an eighty or ninety percent chance of becoming dementia.

If Zhang Mu was an ordinary person, Gao Cheng would naturally not use this method!

"Zhang Mu, who is the leader of the water thieves? How many boats and how many people are there?"

Sun Yue and the old man surnamed Sun next to him quietly glanced at each other, faintly shocked, Gao Cheng actually had such a strong spiritual power while having the strength of the ninth layer of training!

Sun Yue's ancestral soul refining technique can be cultivated to the fourfold soul nourishment, he has already cultivated at this time, awakened his sense of hearing, touch and vision, and his spiritual power is very keen, and he can sense the spiritual power released by Gao Cheng just now, which is majestic and mighty, like an ocean.

Compared with Gao Cheng, his spiritual power is like a small stream and a big river, with a gap between heaven and earth.

"Gao Cheng's martial arts are outstanding, and his spiritual cultivation is also so powerful, under his leadership, the Guangling Gao clan is afraid that he will soar to the sky in the future, and it is also very possible to become a famous family in Xuzhou!"

Sun Yue secretly thought in his heart that if the Sun clan could make friends with Gao Cheng and take a tailwind boat when the Gao clan rose, he would definitely get great benefits.
