Doo is a small island, but it barely holds thousands of people. In the center of the island is a high and prominent peak, surrounded by flat land.

On the southeast side are cliffs, which are difficult for boats to enter. The northwest two sides are surrounded by wooden fences, leaving only two gates to enter and exit.

The whole environment is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this time, the night had not yet completely fallen. Zhou Shun took a boat alone and came to the west gate.

For this island, Zhou Shun is an old acquaintance. A water thief leader guarding the door walked out and said to Zhou Shun with a smile: "Brother, this is here to find the leader?" ”

"Well, something important." Zhou Shun replied lightly, then handed over the boat to a water thief next to him, and calmly walked into Du Island.

In the middle of the mountain, where the peak is located, there are several houses. A moment later, Zhou Shun came to the outside of these houses.

The house is very ordinary, just a few water thieves guarding the door in front of the door. "Wait a minute, brother." The water thief guarding the door also knew Zhou Shun, and when he saw Zhou Shun arrive, he immediately said yes and walked in.

After a moment, he walked out again. Respectfully clenched his fists and said, "The leader is invited." ”

Zhou Shun nodded at the water thief and walked in.

The house is huge, kind of a living room. Just like the outside, this living room is very basic. There were only a few cases, a few oil lamps.

A man in his thirties was sitting there.

The man was not very burly, with fair skin and a cunning look in his eyes. Sitting there, the first thing that feels like a fox is a vix.

This person is the leader of the water thieves, Zhang Gui.

"What did you come to me for?" Zhang Gui glanced at Zhou Shun, a bit of calmness flashed in his eyes, and asked.

The two had an agreement, one sent troops to plunder, and the other was responsible for finding out the news. Every time Zhou Shun came, he found prey for them.

"Met a prey, about three hundred guards, dozens of vehicles, thirty of which were cargo. and a box of pearls worth no less than a thousand gold. Zhou Shun first gave a rough answer, and then explained the experience in detail.

"Don't tell me, you don't see that this caravan is a prey." After Zhang Gui listened, his brows furrowed and he said unhappily.

"I can see it, but the other party is only 300 people. Liu Biao's army was again notoriously weak. Moreover, that batch of pearls should have a lot of use for you. Zhou Shun was not afraid of this, but said without hurry.

"Maybe it's Liu Bei's army." Zhang Gui's heart moved when he heard this, but he still said cautiously.

"After Liu Bei's army was stationed in Xinye, I only saw him exterminate countless bandits, and I never saw him cross the border and exterminate the water thieves." Zhou Shun replied calmly.

Zhou Shun said that Liu Biao's army often exterminated water thieves. But Liu Bei's army never cared about the water thieves, as long as the other party did not appear in Xinye.

Therefore, the relationship between the water thief and Xinye is peaceful. However, Liu Biao was tired of dealing with the water thieves of the Yangtze River and Xiangjiang water systems.

Consider that Liu Bei's army was known for being strong, while Liu Biao's army was weak. The displeasure on Zhang Gui's face was less.

Moreover, that batch of pearls was indeed quite tempting to him.

"They said they would leave the village and ferry north." Seeing this, Zhou Shun naturally knew that Zhang Gui had let go of his caution and was ready to plunder. Immediately.

"Hmph, I actually want to fight the water pirates on the water, and I really deserve to be a fool who dares to come as bait with only three hundred people." Zhang Gui's eyes flashed with cunning and coldness, and he sneered.

"Huh." Zhou Shun also smiled.

The reason why the water thieves are called water thieves is that they are good at water warfare, and they are more powerful than ordinary water armies.

The purpose of coming here has been achieved, Zhou Shun did not stay long, he left Du Island and returned to Linjiang Village by boat.

At this moment, Chen Guang, who Zhou Shun stayed in the village, also received Xu Tian in his own yard.

Although it is a fisherman's house, Chen Guang's home still has a living room, the living room is very small, the ground is wooden, and there are three very shabby cases.

Chen Guang sat on the main seat, while Xu Tian sat on Chen Guang's right hand.

"I already know the purpose of the gentleman, and it is no problem to cross the river, but." Speaking of this, Chen Guang paused, wanting to attract Xu Tian's attention, but after glancing at Xu Tian, he found that Xu Tian's expression was extremely calm, and his face couldn't help shaking, and said: "However, Mr. also knows that there is a stream of water thieves entrenched in the north, and if we help you ferry, it will be very risky." It's not cheap. ”

"A hundred gold." Xu Tianmian did not change his color.

"One hundred gold?" Chen Guang was shocked when he heard this, and a wave of greed surged in his heart, but then he suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he couldn't help but wonder.

He colluded with Zhou Shun, Zhang Gui and others, and the annual share may not be able to reach 100 gold. Now only he and Xu Tian are present, Xu Tian gives a hundred gold, and he hides fifty gold without knowing it.

"Yes, a hundred gold." Xu Tian replied calmly.

When Chen Guangyan heard this, he could hardly suppress the greed in his heart. nodded again and again: "Okay, if you say it, you will say it clearly." ”

"Hehe, here's ten gold. It's a deposit, and the troublesome brother Ming led the fishermen to wait on the riverbank. Xu Tian smiled, took off the money bag around his waist, and poured it all on the case.

A flash of golden light flashed, and ten golden cakes fell with a bang.

"It will be done, it will be done." Chen Guang had greed in his eyes, and then he took a deep breath and said with a smile on his face.

"So, I'll go first." Seeing this, Xu Tian snorted coldly in his heart, the price he paid now must be repaid ten times or a hundred times. But on his face, he gently raised his fist and smiled. After saying that, he stood up.

"I'll send sir." Facing Mr. Xu Tian, Chen Guang forcibly moved his gaze back from the pile of gold, and said with a smile.

Immediately, the two of them went out of Chen Guang's house one after the other. After saying goodbye at the door, Xu Tian rode back to the camp stationed near the Guan family's house.

After Xu Tian left, Chen Guang stopped in front of the door for a moment. Only then did he return to the house, looking at the small pile of gold that Xu Tian had left on the case, the golden light simply dazzled his eyes.

Chen Guang'an was so excited in his heart that he divided the ten pieces of gold into two parts, and hid one under his bed. The other was carefully put into the money bag and prepared to be handed over to Zhou Shun.

Snatching the money bag in his hand, Chen Guang squinted his eyes, and was secretly proud in his heart, you grab it, all the goods worth one or two thousand are just one or two thousand, but Lao Tzu secretly hides fifty gold. Ha ha.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Chen Guang was excited, knowing that it might be Zhou Shun who had returned, so he kicked the gold into his arms and immediately greeted him.

After opening the crack in the door, looking out carefully, and clearly seeing Zhou Shun's dark face, Chen Guangcai cautiously opened the door.

smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is back." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Shun nodded, got up and walked into the courtyard.

Chen Guang cautiously poked his head out of the door, then closed the door and walked in.
