Appalling.

Although it has been cleaned, it can still be seen from the blackened broken bricks and tiles around it that it has just experienced a catastrophe, and there is even a trace of the rancid smell of burnt human flesh in the air, mixed with a strong smell of blood and sea, which makes people feel sick to their stomachs.

There were no more villagers left in the village, and everything that did not die was taken away by the pirates, and as for the belongings and houses, they were either looted or burned to ashes in the fire.

Several of the guards in charge of the aftermath were all mournful, everyone had an unbearable sadness and self-blame on their faces, and when they saw all this in front of them, several young soldiers hid in the corner of the wall and wiped their tears, and the expressions on their faces were mostly regret and helplessness.

"I'm fucking fighting with these brutes!" An older guard threw his saber to the ground, he was very strong, his sleeves rolled up, revealing his two solid arms, his face was also unkempt, his dark skin was shiny, and the expression on his face was also vicious, as if he was going to eat someone.

"Don't be rude!" The captain of the squad that was following me rushed in front of me, shouting at the indignant ordinary soldier.

"Rude, rude, now that the village has become like this, you still tell me that rudeness is not rude!" The soldier named Lao Wan had no intention of retreating, his face was horizontal, and he looked at the squad leader and me standing behind him viciously: "It's all you officials who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the people who are killed are all dead, and they still fucking eat the military rations offered by the people, but they don't know how to protect the people, such an official should die!" ”

"Presumptuous!" The squad leader looked shocked and frightened, probably afraid that this open-mouthed soldier would make it impossible for me, an officer, to get off the stage, so he immediately planned to draw his saber.

Before he could unsheath his saber, the old man had already rushed in front of him, holding the squad leader's neck with one hand, and grabbing his hand holding the knife with the other hand.

The soldiers around you look at me, I look at you, and then as if they remembered something, they drew their sabers one by one, and surrounded Lao Wantuan, who had held the squad leader hostage, and Yuruo stood in front of me and drew his sword from his waist, but I knew that this guy's purpose was not me, I just quietly looked at this reckless man in the circle.

"It's all my own brothers, I'll do it slowly for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu just wants to kill the Japanese Kou, I don't want to kill my own people, everyone who knows each other will put down the knife for Lao Tzu, otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill this kid first!" After speaking, he put the knife horizontally, and then looked at me and Yuruo, who was standing on the sidelines watching the play.

None of the soldiers around dared to move, they looked at the squad leader who was held hostage by Lao Wan from time to time, and then looked at me, who seemed to be a senior official, as if they were waiting for me and the squad leader to give orders.

"Stand down!" The squad leader looked weak and didn't dare to speak, as if he was worried that if I ordered Lao Wan to be killed on the spot outside the circle, then his life would be gone.

"Lao Wan, don't be nervous, everyone is their own person, you have to be careful!" The squad leader just stared carefully at the bright knife around his neck, and I could see that there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Lao Tzu doesn't want to embarrass anyone today, but Lao Tzu has something to say!" Lao Wan also seemed nervous, he tightened the knife in his hand and glared at me fiercely.

I waved my hand, signaling the guards on the left and right and a few of the guards I brought with me to put down the weapons in their hands, although this man is a little reckless, but he has a sincere heart to kill the enemy, such a person is a rare talent in the hodgepodge of guards, so I don't plan to embarrass this reckless soldier.

"Lao Tzu has long said that there is a dark island near here, and those bastards must be on the island, but I don't fucking believe it, if I had believed Lao Tzu earlier, would there be such a tragic situation today?" Lao Wan tightly choked the hostage's neck and shouted loudly. "Lao Tzu grew up by the sea since he was a child, and the grass and trees here are many times more familiar than those who sit in the house, but no one believes in Lao Tzu, in this case, Lao Tzu will go to the island today to avenge the dead people here!"

Dark Island, I heard the words and moved.

It is reasonable to say this, no wonder Li Guangzhong used the Dengzhou Navy to find the island where the Japanese were hiding, it turned out that there was a dark island nearby. Looking at this Lao Wan's appearance, it doesn't seem like he's telling a lie, which means that the possibility of the wolf is much more likely on this dark island.

"Where is the dark island you just mentioned?" I looked at Yuruo, and I could tell from her eyes that what she was thinking about now was exactly the same as what I was thinking.

"It's about forty miles away! Who are you, ask me what these things you do? Lao Wan looked at me carefully: "Look at your thin arms and legs, there are not a few taels of meat, which Yamen's talented master came here!" ”

"Poof!" Before I could speak, Yuruo next to me couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahem!" I coughed heavily, signaled Yuruo to pay attention to the impact, and then hugged my fists: "It is Zhang Ziyun, the newly arrived deputy commander of Dengzhou Wei, who came to exterminate the Japanese at the order of the commander Li Guangzhong!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That is the new deputy commander, Lao Wan, don't be rude! ”

"I don't care if you are a commander or a deputy commander, you officials are all the same, even if the commander is here, I want to scold, you officials, which one is not greedy for life and afraid of death, not only that, but also rely on their own officials, we don't even listen to the words of these people, if you had listened to my words and went to find that dark island, how could there be today's tragedy, who of you officials saw the tragedy in this village.

He almost roared, tears and anger in his eyes.

"In that case, then please accompany me to the Dark Island to find those widows!" I stood up, looked at Lao Wan, and said slowly.

"Dang Chang" The saber in Lao Wan's hand immediately fell to the ground.
