Chapter 816: Xiangjiang Island
Zhu Yihai smoothed out the turmoil in his heart and left the dock silently. After Ouyang Xiaoling said goodbye to Mao Wenlong, she found him directly and told him all the circumstances, which was why Zhu Yihai came to the dock in a hurry.
Now that everything has settled, Zhu Yihai feels a little guilty about Mao Wenlong in his heart. After all, for a moment, Zhu Yihai still had murderous intentions towards Mao Wenlong.
The old mansion of the Ouyang family, in the deep courtyard, is still the small wooden building. On the balcony, Ouyang Xiaoling lowered her head and knelt on the floor.
On the rocking chair on the side, lying was Ouyang Qing, Ouyang Xiaoling's father. narrowed his eyes, squinting at Ouyang Xiaoling, who was kneeling beside him without saying a word. Ouyang Qing's eyes were fierce, but the expression on his face was angry and helpless.
There was no peace in the tranquility, and Ouyang Qing's chest, which was still slightly undulating just now, had gradually calmed down. After a long time, Ouyang Qing's indifferent voice sounded: "For my father, I thought that you had become a talent, and you could let our Ouyang family continue in this troubled world." But what did you do? Where did you put our Ouyang family......
Ouyang Xiaoling, who was silent and had not moved, heard this, and suddenly looked up at her father, her face was full of stubbornness: "My daughter will take risks just so that the Ouyang family can continue to survive, my daughter feels that she has done nothing wrong, and she ......"
"Nonsense!" suddenly shouted angrily, directly interrupting Ouyang Xiaoling's words.
Ouyang Qing Huoran got up, pointing at Ouyang Xiaoling's fingers trembling slightly, wanting to scold, but he felt that it was now a boat. No matter how angry you are with your daughter, it won't help.
"Alas...... Do you know how the Fuso Church will treat our Ouyang family in the future? Ouyang Qing was full of anger, and suddenly turned into helplessness.
"Dad, my daughter thinks the Dongjiang Army will not lose." Ouyang Xiaoling's attitude was very resolute.
"You...... Confused! The two tigers competed, but our Ouyang family was forced to be caught in the middle. It was good to be in alliance with the prince before, and with his protection, the Fusang Sect would not dare to oppress us too much. And you're good, the Ouyang family's good situation is now a mess by you, and it's pushing our Ouyang family to the cusp, but you still don't know how to wake up, and you're still blindly confident here, you ......"
Speaking of the heartache, Ouyang Qing's face was full of emotion!
Ouyang Xiaoling insisted on her own opinion, and said to her father: "Dad, that is because you have not yet contacted Mao Zongbing himself, and my daughter believes that if you had met Mao Zongbing and knew something about him, you would not have said this now." ”
Looking at the stubborn Ouyang Xiaoling in front of her, Ouyang Qing didn't know how to make her wake up for a while. In desperation, he didn't bother to say any more, if he tried to save it now, there might still be a chance, and the Ouyang family couldn't just die out in this troubled world.
With a decision in his heart, Ouyang Qing instructed the old housekeeper to come here and stare at Ouyang Xiaoling and continue to kneel, until she woke up. Then he hurriedly left the small wooden building and rode in a sedan chair towards the mansion.
Ouyang Qing's only reliance now is Zhu Yihai, and only by trying to fight for Zhu Yihai's backer, maybe the Ouyang family will have any hope of surviving in the future. On the contrary, if Zhu Yihai is lost as a backer, the Ouyang family will definitely go to the broad road of extinction under the revenge of the Fusang Sect.
As for what Ouyang Xiaoling said, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army could destroy the Fusang Sect, Ouyang Qing had no hope at all. In his opinion, Mao Wenlong's trip to Xiangjiang Island to suppress bandits this time was already full of uncertainty, and whether he could come back alive or not had to be said, let alone defeat the bandits there.
The Ouyang family is busy saving themselves, and Zhu Yihai regrets killing Mao Wenlong, and is worried about how to remedy it in the future.
And Mao Wenlong, who went to sea to expedition to Xiangjiang Island, led the army to arrive, without imaginary resistance and without encountering any obstruction. The Dongjiang Army docked three nautical miles east of Xiangjiang Island.
Along the way, the eerie atmosphere made people feel uneasy. The Dongjiang Army came with great fanfare, but it was so quiet that it seemed that even some little Luo Luo, who was spying on intelligence, did not find out.
Mao Wenlong put down the binoculars, frowned and muttered, "What the hell are these Yiren pirates doing?" ”
Cheng Zuo guessed and said: "Chief soldier, will the Yiren pirates know that our army is pressing the border, and they know that they are invincible, and they have all fled?" ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "Even if the pirates know that they are invincible, they will definitely not run away without doing anything." ”
During the observation just now, Mao Wenlong clearly saw that not only was the sea calm, but even a bird could not be seen on the shore of Xiangjiang Island. In such an abnormal situation, if you want to say that there are no ghosts in it, you can't believe it if you kill Mao Wenlong.
At this time, the patriarch of the Chen family bowed his hand and said: "Chief soldier, the old man knows some things on Xiangjiang Island, I wonder if the chief soldier is interested in hearing about it?" ”
Mao Wenlong looked at Patriarch Chen in surprise, nodded and said, "Speak quickly!" ”
The patriarch of the Chen family said: "This Xiangjiang Island was originally a barren island, although there are some aborigines here, but there are very few. Later, the Yi people discovered this place and began to use it as a foothold, and slowly gathered more and more, until now they have completely occupied the island. ”
After a pause, the patriarch of the Chen family continued: "As the shipping of Fucheng becomes more and more prosperous, more and more Yi people come here to do business. The island had become even more important, becoming an important shipping route for foreign ships to enter and leave the city, and the Yi people, who had been stationed here earlier, soon saw a business opportunity, and they began to block the shipping lanes in an organized manner. Then a high toll was charged, until the appearance of the Wakos, a big event occurred. ”
"Big deal? What's the big deal? Chengzuo listened attentively and couldn't help but interject and ask.
The patriarch of the Chen family sighed lightly and continued: "In order to compete for the interests here, the two sides have started a big battle at sea. In the end, there was a draw, and seeing that they could not take Xiangjiang Island, the Japanese turned around and took control of the port of Fucheng. The Yiren began to strengthen the defenses of Xiangjiang Island, turning it into an impregnable castle. ”
Hearing this, Mao Wenlong heard the point, and he asked coldly: "In other words, it is difficult to capture Xiangjiang Island today?" ”
The patriarch of the Chen family smiled bitterly again: "The general army, it is not only difficult to capture, since the Tayi people began to build defenses on the island. No one has been able to enter Xiangjiang Island for nearly ten years, and the once prosperous Japanese invaders also lost their troops here and paid a heavy price, but they still couldn't set foot on the island half a step. ”
There were still some words later, but the patriarch of the Chen family didn't dare to say more. He had already seen Mao Wenlong's face full of disbelief at the moment. It is true that the Dongjiang Army is more powerful than the Japanese Invaders, but this is only on the sea, on land, especially in the capture of such islands, and the Dongjiang Army does not have an advantage at all.
