Chapter 677: Infiltrating the Ghost Village

At dusk, under the guidance of Zheng Jiajun, two express ships carrying dozens of water ghosts quietly sailed into Penghu Bay.

At this time, Penghu Island was extremely quiet, and the sound of the tide and night birds sounded particularly terrifying.

"Be careful." Relying on his previous experience and his own intuition, the guards of the Qinglongmen advised their subordinates.

"Two generals, not far in front of the island residents live in a place, in order to facilitate management, the old general set up a post on the island in the early years, but according to the current situation, the post is estimated to be in the hands of the Dutch." Zheng Jiajun led the general Zheng Xuanmao and pointed to the place where the lights were shining on the shore.

"We have already seen the wreckage of several ships on the way here, and General Zheng's concern is not unreasonable. In this way, I will take people to touch the situation of the outpost, you and General Zheng will lead the water ghost team to search for He Bin, in case we are discovered, we will take cover, unless we find He Bin to complete the task, otherwise we can't risk saving us even if we encounter great danger. The Qinglongmen guard proposed.

Although this suggestion is a bit risky, but the time is urgent, this is their more reliable method, the situation of the outpost is not clear, even if He Bin is found, when Kinmen sends troops to cross the Taiwan Strait, it is possible that he will be ambushed by the enemy on Penghu Island halfway.

Now it seems that Zhu Qing sent two guards inside and outside the Qinglong Gate at the same time.

Where the sea and the sky meet, a wave of sea tides engulfs the sunset, and night falls. After the division of labor, under the leadership of the three leading generals, the water ghost team secretly sneaked to the shore and began to sneak inland from the coast.

They acted separately at a three-way intersection, this junction, attacking and retreating, especially for a team like Jinyiwei who is good at individual combat.

Although it was a three-way street, the team was divided into two groups.

The Qinglongmen guards led the thirty elites, and under the guidance of the ten Zheng family soldiers, quietly approached the lighted outpost.

Nei Wei and Zheng Xuan led the remaining dozens of water ghosts and began to sneak into the village to search for He Bin.

In addition to the settlements around the outposts, the island is also dotted with fishing villages of all sizes. The situation in these fishing villages is very complicated, and it is possible that people from all walks of life from south to north may live in these villages temporarily.

If the outpost has been occupied by the Dutch, then the densest residential settlement has also been controlled by the Dutch, and since He Bin wants to escape from the clutches of the Dutch, he naturally knows how to avoid it.

However, the most dangerous place is often the safest, and it is hidden in the city, He Bin did not fail to gamble, lurking in the downtown area, taking the opportunity to leave Penghu Island and flee to Kinmen. After all, it's only in downtown areas where the chances of leaving the island are greater, because there are merchant ships that can fish in troubled waters.

However, Zheng Xuan mentioned a situation that made Jin Yiwei determine the current plan.

He Bin is a very cautious person, and he would rather not shrink out of the turtle than venture into the downtown area unless he has to. Because the Dutch in addition to strict search and vigilance, but also a reward for the arrest of He Bin, people are not terrible, what is terrible is the human heart, in the face of heavy profits, the human heart often needs to bear a greater test. He Bin does not believe in such a test. From the failure of the first two batches of rescue emergency ships, it can be seen that He Bin has heard some rumors, and he should be more afraid of the blockade of the Dutch.

Therefore, the water ghost team focused their search on those small and inconspicuous villages.

Among those small villages, there is a place called the old village by outsiders, which is said to be the oldest village in the area, and this village has all kinds of legends and even many mysterious events. For this reason, outsiders even demonized it as a ghost village. Those who trespass on ghost villages are likely to encounter accidents.

The Dutch did not believe in this evil at first, but when a small detachment broke into the ghost village and never came out, the Dutch began to be a little jealous.

They decided to mobilize artillery to bombard the ghost village in a few days!

However, this was indeed a veritable day, and as the war progressed on the road, the Dutch's attention to the ghost village gradually weakened, until, He Bin fled to Penghu Island, and they once again turned their attention to this ancient small village.

Just as the invaders stationed on the island tried to attack the ghost village again, Kinmen attacked one after another, and the Dutch once again shelved the plan to attack the ghost village and instead strengthened the defense of the coastline.

From this point of view, the possibility that He Bin is hiding in the ghost village is very large.

Although the ghost village is treacherous, Zheng Xuan knows a little about the local area. It's not that the legendary trespassers are cursed for offending the local gods, but that the climate and terrain are complex, with dense fog and wetlands, and without a local guide, outsiders are not only likely to get lost, but also risk their lives.

But it's strange to say that since He Bin fled to this island, people outside rarely meet people from the ghost village again, and even don't see them go to the downtown area to catch the market.

This abnormality shows that He Bin's hiding place is very likely to be in the ghost village. But what if there is no guide?

The Dutch thought of a way, that is, they wanted to wait for the locals or the Zheng Jiajun who came to rescue He Bin to go in first, and then follow in and catch them all.

However, the atrocities of the Dutch had already aroused resentment among the people, and they would rather be caught, beaten, and killed than lead the way. Or some locals were really caught by the Dutch and couldn't get out, so they pretended to obey and led the Dutch into a trap.

So, when the water ghost team approached the ghost village, the brocade guards quickly spotted the Dutch guards!

The guards of the Qinglong Gate glanced at it and counted it roughly, and the enemies were no longer a few.

Although this water ghost team is the elite of the elite, in such a strict and guarded prevention and control, it is not easy to successfully infiltrate the ghost village, find He Bin and bring him out safely.

"I'll take a few brothers to lure the enemy away." An assistant to the internal guard volunteered.

"Let's go with our people, we know this area better than you, and we can minimize casualties." Zheng Xuan proposed.

Neiwei pondered for a moment and shook his head, "No, I need your help to enter the ghost village." Or our men to divert the enemy. ”

While the two were arguing, they only heard the sound of artillery fire coming from the outpost behind them, and then, they saw the flames soaring into the sky, presumably the guards and the Dutch on the outpost!

The battle at the outpost soon affected the pattern of the ghost village, and a Dutch soldier hurriedly ran to the ghost village to camp, and the Dutch officer who was in charge of monitoring the ghost village shouted angrily a few times, and then went to the post with a wave of guards to support.

Jin Yiwei and Zheng Jiajun saw that there was an opportunity, Neiwei and Zheng Xuan glanced at each other, coincided, and both ordered to rush and kill the Dutch soldiers who stayed in the ghost village.

Not to mention that the water ghost team is one as ten, just a sneak attack, the water ghost team quickly solved the battle.

"Wait!" Just as the internal guards were about to lead the team to rush into the ghost village, they were suddenly stopped by Zheng Xuan, "Don't forget that this is a ghost village, don't trespass." ”

"Do you really have a ghost?" Neiwei chuckled and said, under the influence of Zhu Qing's atheism, the people of Jinyiwei only have reverence for ghosts and gods, but do not believe in them. However, they are very good at using this to confuse the enemy, so when Zheng Xuan told them about the ghost village, Jin Yiwei was even more sure that He Bin was hiding here!

"It's not. It's just that the situation in the ghost village is complicated, how can you come here for the first time, it is not advisable to venture easily, even our Zheng Jiajun, if there is no guidance from a local guide, we have to be careful. Zheng Xuan explained.

After hearing this, the internal guard was quite anxious, "The other brothers are fighting with the enemy at the outpost, if we don't take the opportunity to enter the village quickly, we are afraid of putting more pressure on the brothers outside." ”

Zheng Xuan heard the sound of artillery fire outside becoming more and more intense, and naturally knew this truth, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "There is!" I once saved a local man who taught me a ventriloquist and said that if you want to enter the village, you just have to blow this ventriloquist and he will come out to greet you! ”

"Hurry up and try it!" The inner guard said excitedly.

Zheng Xuan nodded, put away the knife and gun, put his hand in his mouth, and blew the ventriloquist that the local had taught him.

However, after blowing it once, there was no movement, Zheng Xuan blew it a second time, but there was still no movement, and just as he blew the sound for the third time, suddenly a dark arrow shot out of the fog.

"Be careful!" The internal guard was quick and pushed Zheng Xuan to dodge the dark arrow.

"Are you sure the local blew it like this?" The inner guard asked with a little crying and laughing.

Zheng Xuan was asked like this, but he was really puzzled for a moment before he nodded and said, "It should be right, it's like this!" I used to use it when I went into the village to hunt, but what's wrong with it today? ”

Zheng Xuan pondered for a while, scratched his head and asked the village, "Fellow, I am Zheng Xuan of the Zheng family, and I am looking for your Uncle Gu Li......"

After a moment of silence, a child suddenly came out of the fog, holding a torch in his hand, and his eyes were very vigilant staring at Zheng Xuanhe and the water ghosts at the entrance of the village.

"Little brother, I'm looking for Uncle Gu Li, can you help me call him out?" Zheng Xuan asked with a smile.

"You are Zheng Xuan?" The child looked at Zheng Xuan and asked coldly.

"Yes, I'm Zheng Xuan, who visited Uncle Gu Li before. You see, this is still a seashell that Uncle Gu Li gave me as a souvenir. Zheng Xuan explained, took out his halterneck and handed it to the child.

The child took a look and saw the totem representing the Guli family on the shell, and tears couldn't help but flow.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Xuan wondered.

"Uncle Zheng, Daddy is gone. A few days ago, Daddy went to the downtown area to catch the market, was caught by Yang Maozi, and was beaten and released. Daddy was seriously injured, and he held on to the entrance of the village, so he blew that ventriloquist for us to come out to greet. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the hair. When Daddy was leaving, he repeatedly instructed him, and when he heard this ventriloquist in the future, he shot it with an arrow, and I ...... "The more the child talked, the more sad he became, and finally he couldn't cry anymore."

After hearing this, the water ghosts were all moved, and they all secretly swore that sooner or later this account would be counted on Yang Maozi!

"You are Uncle Gu Li's youngest son, not many?" Zheng Xuan remembered that Gu Li was a guest at the house earlier, Gu Li had a two-year-old son named not much, and he hadn't seen him for many years, so there should not be many children who called Gu Li Daddy.

"Hmm!" Not much, sure enough, he cried and nodded.

When Zheng Xuan heard this, he took the little more into his arms, "Don't cry if you don't cry, your father is a big hero, we will definitely avenge your father!" ”

Zheng Xuan thought of the old man and saw the son of the old man, and he couldn't help himself for a while.

However, the war roared behind him, and the internal guard had no choice but to pull the corner of Zheng Xuan's clothes and gesture a look.

Zheng Xuan remembered the matter, so he didn't ask much, "Don't be good, don't cry more." You tell your uncle, is there a new outsider in the village, tall, white-skinned, bearded, like a teacher? Uncle needs this person's help to fight the foreign hairy son and avenge your father! ”

After not hearing it for a while, he stopped crying, thought about it, and nodded, "Yes!" It seems to have been hidden by the village chief. ”

"Really? Quick, take the uncles into the village and go to the village chief to find the man. Zheng Xuan was pleasantly surprised.

Just as he nodded and turned around and was about to lead the way, another voice suddenly came from the fog, "General Bulao is ......" With this ethereal echoing voice, an old man with gray hair walked out of the fog with a cane.
