Located on the most marginal convex land in the northeast of Wanglong County, Hongzui Shang Village occupies a mile-long river bank and is a natural harbor for cooperative ships to anchor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, on the river bank outside Hongzui Upper Village, hundreds of huge fortune boats and great fortune boats are docked on the shore, and hundreds of people are boarding the boat through the pedals.

After the battle of Tuanshan Village, the Qing army in Wanglong County was swept away, except for the Jintan thieves who emerged in Changgou Town, the Guards Battalion's move to recruit and collect the people was not hindered at all, and many of the remaining people of Wanglong County were willing to move with them, and even some of the people who were originally hidden in the mountains also rushed out after getting the news.

It took nearly 10 days in total, and the people in the entire Wanglong County were finally collected, and the population under Sima Yu was added to 80,000 again.

However, the number of young and strong people only accounts for 4 percent, and most of the remaining are old and weak women and children, which is also a big burden.

"My lord, after all these people are sent back to the island, almost all the people in the entire Wanglong County will be transferred."

On a reef on the shore, Sima Yu stood on the shore of the water against the sea breeze, silently watching the people who were boarding the boat, and behind him were vulture bones and dozens of guards in soft armor. Huang Jingtian on the right looked at the people who were about to finish boarding the ship.

Under the continuous and full operation of the Qilin Sailors, more than 80,000 people have all been transferred to Zhongba Island in just a few days, and the thousands of people who are now boarding the ship are already the last batch.

"It's true that almost all the people have been transferred, but after this trip, I'm afraid Shisuke will have to send them on another trip."

Sima Yu shook his head when he heard this, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, there are some things he won't just forget about it.

"The lord refers to the Golden Beach thief?"

Huang Jingtian suddenly understood when he heard this.

Obviously, Huang Jingtian has long guessed about this.

Actually, it's not hard to guess,

As the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who accompanied Sima Yu on the expedition this time, Wu Songke has always been inseparable from Sima Yu's side, but now he is gone, along with the remaining 28 Jinyi Guards.

Moreover, this time the people were transferred, Yu Dayou, the captain of the Qilin Water Division, did not come to see Sima Yu as usual, who was in the middle of the group and there was a lack of manpower, although there were only more than a thousand people, but Huang Jingtian could see it at a glance.

These are obviously very different from normal days.

And now in the entire territory of Wanglong County, the only ones who are worthy of such a big fight between Yu Dayou and Wu Song are the Jintan thieves.

Huang Jingtian had been wondering why Sima Yu didn't make a move to the Golden Beach thieves before, but now he understands.

Sima Yu's previous forbearance was just to transfer the people and paralyze the Jintan thieves first, and now that the people have been transferred, it is time to solve this trouble.

"Jing Tian's guess is right, these Golden Beach thieves are bold, taking advantage of our unpreparedness, they have captured a lot of people in Changgou Town, thinking that they can get away with it by virtue of the terrain of Jintan Lake, how can I let him go as he wishes, I have ordered Wu Song to take people to sneak into the island first, and wait for Zhifu's sailors to drive to the two of them and then work together, and destroy this Golden Beach thief in one fell swoop."

Sima Yu nodded when he heard this.

As the saying goes, if there is revenge, there is no revenge, and it is not a gentleman,

For these thieves who dare to provoke themselves as evil parties, Sima Yu will never show mercy to his subordinates and let them go free.

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

In the evening, there was a slight paddling sound on the calm surface of Jintan Lake, and several rafts carried dozens of ragged men to the island in the center of the lake.

Look far away. In the evening mist, a huge island can be seen standing in the center.

Jintan Lake is located in the central and eastern part of Wanglong County, with a total area of more than 40 square kilometers, and there is an island covering an area of 10 square kilometers in the center of Jintan Lake.

From the outside, the entire inner island of Jintan Lake is divided into two parts, the plains in the west and the mountains and forests in the east, almost half of each station.

The mountain forest in the east is only tens of meters high, and there are a large number of wooden villages built on them, and the lights in the wooden villages are bright, and the bright firelight is constantly flickering on the water surface.

These stockades were inhabited by the Golden Beach Thieves.

"Who?"

As the distance continued to get closer, when the raft was only a few meters closer to the island, several Golden Beach thieves on the shore who were awakened by the sound of water shouted, and the bows and arrows in their hands were already pointed at the people on the raft.

"Big brother, don't panic! We are all from Wanglong Town, after the Qing army entered the country, we were pulled into the slave army, and we were arrested after the defeat in the battle of Tuanshan Village, and we escaped with great difficulty this time. Now, there is no place for us in the entire territory of Wanglong County, and this time I came to take refuge in the two leaders."

On the raft, a tall man hurriedly spoke up when he saw this.

Although this man is dressed in tatters and has an embarrassed face, he also has a dignified body and a dignified appearance, especially those eyes that are even more blazing, which makes people daunting.

This person is Wu Song, if it is daytime, this kind of appearance will inevitably make people suspicious, but under the cover of night, the Ejin Beach thieves on the shore can't see a trace of abnormality.

"Do you think it's so easy for me to join Golden Beach? Not everyone can join Jintan Island, and if you want to join, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so! ”

The leader of the Golden Beach thieves who took the lead on the shore stepped on his feet when he heard this, and his voice was slightly strange.

"Hehe, the eldest brother is right, aren't we helpless to do this, and ask the eldest brother to do well and help introduce us to Jintan Island, so that we can also join Jintan Island"

Wu Song's expression suddenly froze when he heard this, and a wave of anger was about to rise, and Nie Ping, the brocade guard next to him, hurriedly interrupted when he saw this, and while speaking, he leaned over skillfully after the ship docked, and handed a few taels of silver in his hand to the leader.

Nie Ping, is a hundred households of Jinyiwei in Qilin County, he is alert and has good martial arts, this time he followed Sima Yu to Luzhou, and he was the only one left among the 2 Jinyi Wei hundred households.

"Well, for the sake of me and this buddy, I'm okay with this matter, so you can go over there and report it!"

The leader of the Golden Beach thieves on the shore weighed the silver in his hand, and then hugged Nie Ping and said with a happy face.

The two taels of silver that Nie Ping gave him were about 6 taels, and with the current price, 6 taels of silver could already buy a lot of things.

Seeing that Nie Ping understood things like this, the little leader was also happy in his heart, and he no longer embarrassed them, and led them to the registration office as he spoke.

Along the way, under Nie Ping's constant words, Wu Song and the others also knew that the little leader's name was Wu Tong, and they also knew the general situation of the Jintan thieves.

At this time, the sky had not completely darkened, Wu Tong had been taking Wu Song and them to a wooden courtyard covering an area of several hundred meters not far from the shore of Jintan Island, where they registered with a man in charge of statistical registration and received an identity card.

After completing the registration, Wu Tong offered to take Wu Song and them to their residence.

Wu Song and Nie Ping Yixin have a total of 43 people, composed of 28 Jinyi guards and 13 elite sailors, all of whom are strong men, and it is easy for such a small gang to get out among the thieves in Jintan, so Wu Tong naturally has the intention of making friends in his heart.

Seeing this, Wu Song was naturally willing, and along the way, Nie Ping might be able to take another opportunity to get some more information.

Along the way, Wu Song and others, led by Wu Tong, followed the mountain trail on the island to the village located halfway up the mountain.

When Wu Song and the others came to the stockade located halfway up the mountain, they happened to see a large group of men with ropes being escorted by dozens of Jintan thieves from the north of the mountain.

Most of the men were between 20 and 40 years old, ragged and mentally exhausted.

"Brother Wutong, take the newcomer up the mountain again!"

Looking at Wu Tong walking beside Wu Song, the Golden Beach thief led by them said with a smile, his expression was a little arrogant.

"Yes, Brother Kou, you have a good harvest today!"

Looking at Commander Kou, who was escorting hundreds of men, a hint of envy flashed in Wu Tong's eyes.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay!"

Commander Kou waved his hand with a smile when he heard this, but the color between his eyebrows couldn't be hidden.

"Brother Wutong, I have to hurry up and hand in the task after escorting them back, so I'll leave first!"

After the two exchanged a few words of greeting lightly, Commander Kou bowed his hand to Wu Tong and said goodbye, and between the two of them, Commander Kou never looked at Wu Song and them from beginning to end.

In this regard, Wu Song, Nie Ping and others didn't care, they still wished that no one would pay attention to them on the island.

However, Wu Song's eyes lingered on the men walking in the middle of the group from time to time.

Relying on the intuition of the martial artists, Wu Song felt that the blood qi on the bodies of those men was obviously stronger than the others, and it was very likely that they were Lian Jiazi.

And these men have been faintly sandwiching a man in his 40s in the middle, and when Wu Song's eyes swept over, several people next to the man directly took the initiative to block Wu Song's gaze, as if they were protecting him.

"Leader Wu, who was that person just now, I don't think there are many people in his command, why do you look so arrogant?"

It wasn't until after the group of people left that Wu Song withdrew his gaze and signaled to Nie Ping in the direction of Wu Tong, and Nie Ping hurriedly spoke up when he saw this.

"His name is Kou Dang, and he is the henchman of the big boss, so he is naturally a little arrogant"

Wu Tong pursed his lips when he heard this, and his expression was obviously a little dissatisfied with Kou Dang.

"And who are those people he's holding?"

Hearing this, Nie Ping asked.

"They're all slaves who don't obey the discipline and are in charge of mining

"Mining? Could it be that there are still mineral deposits on this island? ”

Nie Ping exclaimed when he heard this.

"I also see that a few of your brothers are particularly close to me, I tell you secretly, don't say it" Wu Tong quietly looked around when he heard this, and approached Wu Song and Nie Ping, and they said with a mysterious expression.

"Certainly, definitely, Leader Wu rest assured! We will never say it," Nie Ping heard that there was a play, and nodded again and again to reassure.

"There's a gold mine on this island!" Wu Tong whispered.

"What!"

Wu Song and Nie Ping were all shocked when they heard this.

They didn't expect that there would be a gold mine on the inner island of this Golden Beach Lake, no wonder this Golden Beach thief has been entrenched here and is reluctant to leave

"Really! Do you know why this lake is called Jintan Lake? It is because of this gold mine that it got its name, and the big boss and the second boss went out to rob the population a few times before, and they also wanted to increase the number of people to collect gold mines," Wu Tong thought that the two of them didn't believe it, and hurriedly added in a low voice.

For a while, after the news of the gold mine, Wu Song and Nie Ping also lost their desire to continue exploring, and after a few words of greeting with Wu Tong, they immediately returned to the temporary housing assigned to them.

After sending the people, Wu Tong also went back satisfied, and received the silver tonight, and sold the favor, and Wu Tong was very satisfied with his performance.

At this time, Wu Tong did not know that death had quietly descended on them.
