"Quick, get me the boat out there again, I'm going to have to give them a little color this time." After Cui Bao wound his divine arm crossbow, he couldn't help but stand proudly in the bow of the ship and roared loudly.

And seeing him like this, the black-clothed sergeant who had already held his stomach was angry, and he couldn't help but use all his strength to feed, and paddled hard like a desperate paddle.

"Okay, it's close. We're almost a hundred and fifty steps away from these damn bunches now. But it still needs to be closer, the god arm crossbow can hit so far, and I can't shoot so accurately. Cui Bao carried the Divine Arm Crossbow and roared in an aiming position.

"Come on, General. A hundred steps is not possible, just wait, we will do it. At this time, the thirty black-clothed sergeants who hated the same enemy were also rowing the oars in their hands as if they were dying.

So at this time, the distance between the black-clothed army and the merchant ship in front of it couldn't help but get closer and closer.

"Here, turtle son, go die!" Finally, after nearly two quarters of an hour, the distance between the two ships was reduced to a hundred paces. Cui Bao, the official of the hundred households, couldn't help but deduct the bracket and shot out the special divine arm crossbow arrow.

"Whoosh~" On the surface of the river, everyone just heard the sound of an arrow breaking through the air.

Then, followed by the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, a terrible scream could not help but follow.

"Ahh The extremely sharp and powerful crossbow arrows of the god arm pierced the lower abdomen of a man from the merchant ship in front of him. Blood kept flowing out of the man's body, but it was just a moment, and in the man's terrible scream, the blood couldn't help but turn the man into a bloody man.

"Damn, labor and management are not divided, I will fight with them, fight with them!" Finally, with this fuse, the spirit of some people on the merchant ship couldn't help but completely collapse.

In their minds, instead of being killed as easily as a rabbit, it is better to fight the enemy to the death when they have the strength.

Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. To tell the truth, this sentence is the common thinking of the vast majority of people on this merchant ship.

So in this way, after such a desperate idea of breaking the net became the mainstream of the merchant ship, the speed of the merchant ship gradually slowed down. The twelve men on the merchant ship, except for the one who was shot by the divine arm crossbow, the rest of them couldn't help but go beyond their weapons from the cabin.

"Haha, it's good, it's good to be like this earlier, damn let me waste this bullish energy." On the other side, on the warship of the black-clothed army, seeing the merchant ship in front, finally did not intend to escape. Cui Bao's face couldn't help but show an extremely hideous smile.

"Brothers, get ready to fight!" Cui Bao carefully put down the divine arm crossbow, and then couldn't help but pull out the saber at his waist, raised the knife and roared angrily.

Hearing his roar, the more than forty soldiers on the ship naturally picked up their weapons one after another, ready for the next white-knuckle fight on the river.

"Brothers, whether you live or die depends on this one, kill!" After a few moments, the two near-large ships finally approached. Therefore, in order to survive, a man surnamed Wang on the merchant ship couldn't help but use his strength to cheer for his subordinates.

But at this time, such behavior obviously does not have much effect.

After all, after the two ships approached, these men on the merchant ship knew that they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of both ships and numbers.

So although these people have the courage to break the net in their hearts, but in this courage, there is more despair in despair.

"The time has come, brothers, to make meritorious deeds, and not a single son of the thousand taels of silver that the Lord has given him. So how much reward you can take out of these people is up to you. Kill me now! ”

"Kill!" The black-clothed army stood on the ship, and when he heard Cui Bao mention the reward of one thousand taels of silver. The more than forty black-clothed sergeants on the ship couldn't help but turn into crazy bloodthirsty hungry wolves in the next second.

After all, it is a thousand taels of silver, even if they divide it equally, it is enough for one person to make a lot of money.

Therefore, under such a heavy reward, when the distance between the two ships was only two steps away from the acceleration of the hook, the black-clothed sergeant laid out the planks that had been prepared long ago, and could not help roaring, brandishing his weapons and starting a bloody white-knuckle battle with the enemy.

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was unitary time, because it was winter, so at this hour, the sun could not help but set early.

And at this point, a full day has passed since Han Ye's disappearance.

Yes, a day passed like this, and it passed in the oppression of the city. Originally, everyone should be happy on this day, but because of this incident, everyone's hearts are like a big stone has been pressed.

And this feeling is the strongest is Zhang Shihua, who is the marshal of the black-clothed army and the political affairs of Pingzhang in Huguang Province.

One day, a whole day, Zhang Shihua, who was supposed to accompany his family and enjoy his family, sat in the front hall of the Marshal's Mansion for a day, waiting for a day's news.

But until now, until the sun set, he mobilized his men tonight, but he still didn't find Han Ye, who had been missing for a day.

So at this time, Zhang Shihua's heart couldn't help but gradually become desperate.

After all, it took a full day before and after, and such a long time, even if the other party was lame, it was enough to use this time to run away. So whenever he thought about it, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but become more and more desperate.

Although it is said that the craftsman Han Ye is only missing now, it does not mean that Han Ye will leak the method of making plate armor.

However, Han Ye, who was kidnapped by the enemy, really wouldn't have leaked the production method of plate armor under the coercion and temptation of the enemy? Are you kidding.

All of them are mortal in the flesh, although craftsmen like Han Ye are mostly extremely loyal to Zhang Shihua. After all, Zhang Shihua gave them a new start and a new life.

But sometimes the more this is the case, the less Zhang Shihua believes that there is any absolute loyalty in this world.

Alone, in the hands of others. Dealing with people like Han Ye, even he, Zhang Shihua, can have a bunch of ways to make him speak, not to mention the criminal investigators of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, who are extremely professional in this kind of thing.

Therefore, in Zhang Shihua's mind, the disappearance of Han Ye is actually equivalent to the leakage of the production method of plate armor; It is further equivalent to that the foundation of his Zhang Shihua's life will no longer exist.

After all, in terms of strength, today's Yuanmeng Imperial Court is more than dozens of times that of Zhang Shihua.

Although as early as the beginning, when the plate armor was invented by Yang Xitong and them, Zhang Shihua knew that the production method of this armor would spread sooner or later.

After all, the method of making plate armor is not too complicated, it is just a different way of thinking.

Therefore, Zhang Shihua had no doubt, and casually selected a relatively top and lively craftsman from the Wanhu Zhenfu Division of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, and then let him enter the forging factory established by Zhang Shihua for two days, and he estimated that he could figure out the production method of plate armor.

But Zhang Shihua never imagined that the production method of plate armor would spread so quickly. You must know that in order to keep this secret, Zhang Shihua even moved all the forging factories in the territory to his nose.

So at this time, if the production method of plate armor spreads, then Zhang Shihua really has no way to deal with it now.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shihua has only been alone here for so long now.

Because after the bad luck suddenly came like this, Zhang Shihua really became a little helpless.

"Hey, all the horses that Ah Wu sent out to find people now have returned, right?" Zhang Shihua sighed, and then looked at Li Wu, the guard who took the initiative to come to work overtime because of this incident, and couldn't help asking.

And Li Wu heard Zhang Shihua's question, and after frowning deeply, he also replied: "Lord, not yet." According to General Shi, there is still a warship, and no news has been sent back. ”

"Hey, forget it." In this regard, Zhang Shihua waved his hand. Qiang squeezed out a smile on his face, and then comforted himself: "It's just a piece of armor, if it leaks, it will be leaked, I, Zhang Shihua, am not afraid of thousands of troops, will I still be afraid of such a dead thing." ”

Zhang Shihua said this, and his face couldn't help but pretend not to care.

But it was at this time that Gao Yang, the guard, couldn't help but run in with a happy face.

"Lord, Master Han has been rescued, Master Han has been rescued." Running into the front hall, he didn't care about saluting Zhang Shihua, and he couldn't help shouting at the first time.

Hearing his shout, Zhang Shihua's indifferent expression that he had originally pretended to be couldn't help but be swept away. With a 'poof', he got up from his seat.

"Where are the people? Quick, bring them to me at once, bring them all to me at once. Zhang Shihua shouted loudly, with a happy look on his face.

……

"Subordinate Han Ye, meet the lord. The subordinates are paralyzed and careless, so that the lord can not be idle at this time, the subordinates are guilty, the subordinates should die, and the subordinates should die. A moment later, when Han Ye, who was still stained with blood on his body with an embarrassed face, saw Zhang Shihua in the front hall, he couldn't help but kowtow to Zhang Shihua for the first time.

And Zhang Shihua saw this, he was powerful, and he coughed lightly, and he couldn't help but say: "Han Ye, I have asked the five guards who are responsible for protecting you in detail, and I also know what happened. ”

"So you are guilty, but you are not guilty unto death. I asked those five guards to protect you, but they did not do their duty and let you be taken captive by thieves in broad daylight. That's why they're really the most damned. ”

"I'll have all five of them beheaded. And you, for the sake of you also suffering this time, and did not say a word to the thief, I decided to punish you for three months, what do you think! After saying this, Zhang Shihua squinted his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but silently look at Han Ye who was kneeling on the ground.

"This, this ......" When Han Ye heard that the five guards who had been with him day and night for nearly a year, and had always been respectful to him in the process, they were going to be sentenced to death by Zhang Shihua because of this, he couldn't help but panic.

"My lord, my lord, the main blame for such a thing is on me. It was my carelessness that led to such a result, and the five of them just obeyed my arrangement. I ask the lord to take back your fate, if the lord wants to punish, then I Han Ye is willing to accept the lord of the punishment. Finally, after thinking about it for a while, Han Ye finally couldn't help but make up his mind and made such a decision.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua looked at Han Ye, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, but the whole person was still expressionless, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.

"Han Ye" Zhang Shihua said loudly in a majestic voice: "When you go far away and don't know how to lock the door, you have recruited a thief." It is true that the thief was given an opportunity because of the carelessness of the master's family, but it was the thief who stole the things who was really guilty. And in this process, those who have not fulfilled their responsibilities are still those officials who are responsible for maintaining law and order. ”

"Now your kidnappers are dead. So legally speaking, I should punish the five guards who are responsible for protecting you. ”

"Lord......" Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Han Ye trembled, but he didn't know what to say.

However, at this time, Zhang Shihua looked at Han Ye who was kneeling on the ground, and said after a change of words: "However, from one aspect, it is because of your own reasons that the five guards who protect you have not fulfilled their responsibilities. ”

"So at this point, I really don't know what to do." Zhang Shihua said this, lowered his head and looked at Han Ye again.

And Han Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Zhang Shihua's words, but he couldn't help but kowtow and said: "All this is my own fault, and this result really has nothing to do with the guards, I am willing to admit my guilt and be punished, please see it." ”

"Haha, okay. That's it, that's it. Hearing Han Ye say this, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Han Ye, I have to say that your personality has touched me. Therefore, I will not hold the five guards accountable. But you still have to serve for March as a warning. Are you convinced of such a punishment? ”

"Subordinate, subordinate convincing, convincing. The lord is wise, the lord is wise, the lord is wise!! Hearing such a trial, Han Ye, who was extremely excited, couldn't help but kowtow and thank him.

And so far, this turmoil has finally come to an end temporarily.
