"Lord Xie!" Lu Sheng said with his fists in thanks, and came to the chair beside General Shi Wei and sat down.

General Shi Wei still had a straight face at first, but after hearing He Qiaosheng's evaluation of Lu Sheng, his eyes flashed. After Lu Sheng sat down, he suddenly threw a kind smile to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded in response, looking at He Qiaosheng curiously.

"Everyone, everyone is here, and the official will not sell the guanzi. The official suddenly went to Jeju to transfer the Qiantang Naval Division, which was actually for the sake of the pirates who appeared in the East China Sea. ”

"Is it really for pirates?" Duan Fei asked in surprise.

"Yes, since five years ago, there have been incidents of pirates intercepting and killing merchant ships from Shanghai. Not all of these merchant ships were caravans from Shanghai, and there were also many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital.

The emperor ordered the Shanghai Navy to go to encircle and suppress more than once, but several times to no avail. But thank Tianci for asking the court for military salaries again and again, and the emperor was very unhappy!" Speaking of this, He Qiaosheng's tone paused.

The civil officials of this era spoke so domineeringly, not at all as tactful as Lu Sheng imagined, and did not give Lu Sheng the slightest gloomy feeling. If you are angry, you are very angry, the emperor is very angry, and the consequences are naturally serious.

"Therefore, this official was ordered to secretly transfer the Qiantang Water Division, and he must destroy this group of pirates in one battle. And to invite the masters of Feilingwei to come is to assist this official in this battle. Feiling Wei is one of the best elite guards in Dayu, and with your help, the chances of this official are much greater. ”

"Lord He has an overreputation, but I don't know where this group of pirates is, how can we exterminate them?" Duan Fei hurriedly stood up and asked.

Rumors of pirates he had heard, but not very often. If it really flooded to the point where it had to be exterminated by using water divisions, it should have already caused panic in the people of several provinces in the East China Sea.

He Qiaosheng slowly stood up, and Lu Sheng and the others also quickly stood up and surrounded him. He Qiaosheng held the ring ruler in his hand and pointed to an island in the East China Sea that was marked.

"This is here, this is called Yanluo Island, and it was discovered in less than three months. ”

"Less than three months?" Lu Sheng looked at He Qiaosheng strangely and asked, "This island is located less than three hundred miles outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the surrounding islands were all discovered hundreds of years ago, why was Yanluo Island discovered three months ago?"

"That's the question, that's the problem. He Qiaosheng said lightly with his hands behind his back, "Fifty miles around Yanluo Island is shrouded in fog all year round. The fog is thick, and you can't see your fingers.

Because of this, for countless years, no one has discovered that there is an island in this mist. Three months ago, if it hadn't been for that strong wind that blew away the fog, if it hadn't happened that three fleets hadn't had time to return, who knows how long this Yanluo Island would have been hidden.

The three fleets discovered Yanluo Island, but they did not escape the storm and eventually the fleet was destroyed in the sea, but a few survived. When they returned, they reported to the imperial court about the discovery of Yanluo Island.

From their accounts, Yanluo Island was not a deserted island, and they saw that there were people, houses, and large ships docked on the shore. ”

"Lord He, how can you be sure that this Yanluo Island is the pirate we are looking for?" Lu Sheng asked cautiously.

"Pirates were active five years ago, but these pirates are nothing like the pirates we know, they are so mysterious that they are haunted by ghosts.

In the past five years, there have been no less than ten robberies of past merchant ships, but there is no other clue other than knowing that the leader of the pirates is General Duanmu.

Pirates never tie up tickets, and once they do, they never leave them alive. Moreover, we only know that he is active in the East China Sea region, and the range of activities is along the coast of Qizhou, and on our side, the coast of Wuju and even the coast of Jeju. ”

He Qiaosheng patted the area on the map and said with a solemn expression, "Such a large area, such a strong and ferocious pirate, but I never know anything about his situation.

Therefore, the official believes that among the many islands in the East China Sea, there must be one island where their nest is located. And this newly discovered Yanluo Island is the only possibility. ”

"Then my lord, when will we start and how will we fight?" Duan Fei asked again.

"If you can, the sooner the better. But at the moment, there is a problem that we cannot solve, so we need to express our opinions and think of a solution.

Yanluo Island is enveloped in dense fog all year round, and the dense fog that has been fifty miles into us cannot be reached, and once we enter, we will immediately lose our direction. I had already asked General Shi before you came here, and if there was no one to guide you, the sailors would not be able to enter at all. ”

"Is the fog really that thick?" Duan Fei was still a little unconvinced. If there really is such a good natural barrier, this is simply a paradise gifted by God.

"General Duan, don't believe it, I went to see it myself a few days ago. Shi Wei, who had been silent, suddenly stood up slowly.

The internal force surged, and a burst of water vapor spread wantonly from Shi Wei's body. Soon, Lu Sheng felt that the air pressure around him became thicker, and his vision began to blur.

Since Shi Wei is the leader of the water master, it is reasonable that the cultivation method is water attribute. Water attribute martial arts are based on fickleness and unpredictability. Just like Shi Wei now, he was able to use the water attribute technique to create a mysterious fog.

In a short time, the general ledger had become a white expanse. Reaching out and not seeing the five fingers was just a façade, and the whole world suddenly became silent and terrifying.

At this moment, Lu Sheng even had a feeling that the whole world was going away. You can't hear your heartbeat, you can't hear your breath, you can't see the way forward, you can't find your way out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is how it feels after entering the fog of Yanluo Island. Can't see, can't hear, can't feel. Even if my subordinates are all battle-hardened sons, I can't stay in such an environment for an hour and go crazy. ”

Shi Wei's voice suddenly remembered, but it made everyone feel a sense of redemption.

The fog gradually faded away and was dispelled by Shi Wei. Once again, it became clear in front of him, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a trance.

Duan Fei's eyes were solemn, and he frowned as he looked at the map in front of him, "Is the fog really fifty miles?"

"It's really fifty miles!" He Qiaosheng sat down slowly, picked up a small lambskin roll from the table, unfolded it and pasted it on the map.

In fact, after suspecting Yanluo Island, the imperial court did not rush to conclusions. The emperor personally sent seven Ouchi secret agents to investigate.

This official is convinced of the ability of the Ouchi secret agent, I think General Duan should be the same, right?"

"Yes, Changling Guard, Feiling Guard, and the guards of the princes and generals of all parties are a group of melons, fruits and vegetables in front of the big inner secret agents. Ouchi Spy is not idle, and anyone who holds Ouchi Secret Agent Token is a top master.

Seven Ouchi agents join forces to investigate? What else do we need to do? Even if there are pirates, they should be gone, right?"

"However, those seven inner secret agents were all sacrificed!"

"What?"

He Qiaosheng's words made Duan Fei jump up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, and his round eyes were full of deep disbelief.

"The seven Ouchi secret agents have all been sacrificed? The Ouchi secret agents are all masters above the innate realm! Even if they are defeated, they should be able to escape, how can they ......?"

"But that's the case, the seven big inner secret agents, all killed. If this were not the case, how could the emperor suddenly ask me to transfer the Qiantang Water Division? Half a month ago, the merchants of Lianyun Mansion discovered these seven corpses.

Each of them was shattered by someone's palm, and other than that, there were no other injuries on the seven inner secret agents. It can be seen that all seven were killed by the same person. ”

"Then how do you prove that this matter was done by pirates?" Lu Sheng asked again.

"Because although the seven Ouchi agents were killed, they still completed the task. They found the pirate's location and drew a map of it and tattooed it on a man's body.

The pirates killed them, but the pirates were too careless to dump their bodies at sea. He Qiaosheng pointed to the sheepskin map and said, "This is the route in and out of Yanluo Island." ”

Everyone looked at the dotted line on the drawing, and they were very dazed for a while. Although the layout of Yanluo Island is clearly marked, this entry and exit route has no meaning.

Departing from the port of Shanghai, we go around seven or eight islands to the back of Yanluo Island, and then enter the fog to reach Yanluo Island. It's clear on the map, but it's impossible to actually walk.

"There is a fog that you can't see, how do you determine the direction? Even if you hold the map, the route is a book from heaven. Shi Wei didn't say much, but he hit the nail on the head.

"Strange, since Yanluo Island is surrounded by water, why do you have to determine this route of travel, is there any obstacle in other directions that cannot be reached?" asked a captain of the Feiling Guard, puzzled.

"That's right, since Agent Ouchi was able to infiltrate Yanluo Island and draw this route, this route must have its own special significance. Maybe we can get to the island as long as we crack the secret. Duan Fei had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said.

"Actually, this secret is not difficult!" Suddenly, Lu Sheng's voice sounded. For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Sheng in surprise.

"Brother Lu, you haven't already solved the mystery of the route, have you?" Duan Fei asked with some horror.

"Almost, what's wrong? It's not too difficult. ”

Duan Fei swallowed his tongue and stopped taking the stubble. Duan Fei had already learned Lu Sheng's reasoning ability, so it was best not to speak at least to save a little IQ at this time.

"That...... Lord Lu, you better stop selling Guanzi, and directly say what this route means. Shi Wei asked anxiously.

The Qiantang Water Division is an internal water division, and although it is a standing army, it has almost no chance to fight. If you don't have a chance to fight, you naturally won't have any achievements. The military attache of the Dayu Dynasty has been holding back for decades, and now his eyes are green when he sees the fighter.

"General Shi, although there is fog around Yanluo Island, there are still places where there is no fog. Lu Sheng stepped forward, patted the blank water and said lightly, "Underwater, the fog can't exist in the water." ”

"Yes, it is true that there can be fog underwater, but the visibility under the water may not be much better than in the fog......" Saying this, Shi Kai suddenly paused, staring at the route on the map and suddenly realized, "I see, this is the role of the route." In the water, there must be markings to guide the way, which is why this unique route appears. ”
