Chapter 378: Jinfan Thief

The shipyard is also set up in Shuixian County, and the most prosperous city in Hejian County is also Shuixian.

This is because Shuixian defected to Xinguo at the beginning, and carried out trade with Xinguo, and the prosperity was very high, and after it was recovered by Xinguo, it developed rapidly, and the shipyard was located in Shuixian, and many soldiers from Hejian County were stationed here.

The craftsmen who are building the beacon tower are also seizing the time, and the winter is about to begin, and they are striving to build the beacon tower before the winter.

The scout withdrew his gaze, and waited until the dock workers had carried boxes of Jimo Lao wine onto the ship, and then the boatman let the ship start to leave the dock and head in the direction of the Dragon Kingdom.

The river drove along the south side, and the boatman also said as he drove it: "Now, there are many water thieves in the river, we can only take the nearest route, the dock of the Dragon Kingdom is on the south side, and there are beacon towers in the rest of the place, so it is not easy to pass." ”

The scout asked, "Doesn't the Dragon Kingdom collect taxes?" ”

"Collect, but these taxes are not much, even if they are taxed, they can still make money by selling wine to those taverns and inns in the Dragon Kingdom, and more importantly, the two countries are so close to each other, it is a good time to make a fortune."

The scout took the boatman's words to heart.

The width of the river is not wide, it is the width of a lake, the width of a football field, but this season, the water is full of fog, and it is difficult to see clearly.

At a certain point, the boat headed horizontally towards the opposite shore.

In addition to the Shinkoku scouts here, there are several small boats in the eastern part of the Shinkoku, that is, to the east of Hayashikawa East County, heading east.

"It is said that to the east, there are several dens of water thieves, and those water thieves occupy a city, and often send troops to plunder nearby cargo ships, so there are no people in this channel."

On board the ship, there were many scouts from the new kingdom, who this time requisitioned the cargo ship, and at the same time loaded some goods, disguised as a caravan, and explored eastward.

The water on the surface of the river spread out in all directions, and the fog was thick in the distance, and it was only clear when you were closer, and the water surface around it was rippling.

There were five or six cargo ships, which was quite sufficient, and the scouts were drawing maps and looking at the scenery around them.

"It's almost to Zuojiangxin."

The fisherman, who acted as a guide, pointed to the map, and at the moment, there were some aquatic plants around, and there were whirlpools on the water.

"There is an undercurrent here, the water is very deep, to the north and south, it is all river, only to the east, you can see a large island, generally we will choose to go around this island, go south, after bypassing the island, we can reach a new country."

According to the fishermen's descriptions, the scouts quickly supplemented the map, and the river further east of the new country expanded into a river and lake, a large river with an island in the middle, and a few small islands scattered nearby, often infested with water thieves.

Just as he was about to continue walking, all of a sudden, a scout exclaimed, "Oh no, the water thieves are coming!" ”

"What?!"

Those scouts were all shocked, looking to the left and right, only to see that in the fog to the south, there were water thieves appeared, those water thieves in small boats, as soon as they saw their goods, they shouted excitedly, many water thieves were wielding knives, and there were silk scarves tied on their heads.

On some cold days, those water thieves were all thin clothes, and their feet were still barefoot.

There were more than a dozen small boats, speeding towards the fleet of scouts of the new country.

"General, what should I do?"

On the side of the new national cargo ship, there was some commotion, but there was no chaos, after all, they were all soldiers.

"According to the established plan, give them all the goods and take out the weapons."

"Yes!"

All the new country scouts have their weapons, all of them are spears, which are longer than the water pirates, and even have scouts and shields.

Several boats gathered together, wary of each other, those water thieves' boats, but they drove over quickly, led by a black cloth of water thieves boss, one eye is covered with black cloth, it is obviously a one-eyed dragon, his big knife has a gold ring, longer and thicker than the ordinary big knife, standing in the bow of the ship, looking extremely domineering.

"I didn't expect that there would be big fish in this weather, hahaha, I can eat a good meal this winter."

A cold smile flashed on the face of the water thief boss, and the scout captain immediately said: "Wait, we can give you all the goods, let us go, why bother if you want money, why take your life?" ”

"Why did Lao Tzu let you go?"

"If you don't let us go, we will resist desperately, there will be casualties among your manpower, and the goods will be thrown into the river, let us go, your manpower will not be injured, and you can still get all the goods, you choose."

The water thief boss's eyes narrowed: "Okay, I'll send a ship over, and you will throw all the goods over." ”

"Okay."

A few small boats passed, and the scouts of the new country did exactly the same, throwing all the goods on the other party's ships, but after a while, those water thieves also returned with a full load.

The scout of the new country breathed a sigh of relief, and the fisherman trembled a little: "What now?" ”

"Let's go back first, this kind of weather is not suitable for further exploration."

It's just that at this moment, those water thieves who were not far away shouted in surprise: "Jinfan thief, Jinfan thief is here!" ”

"What?!"

Those water thieves who were originally happy heard these three words, as if they were full of excitement, and their eyes were full of fear.

Seeing this scene, the new country scout captain immediately said, "Wait, let's see what happened first." ”

The group of water thieves seemed to be in a panic, and the black-clothed one-eyed dragon led by him immediately raised his big knife and shouted, "What are you afraid of?!" What is there to be afraid of his Jinfan thief, my black-eyed dragon beheaded him! ”

As soon as the words fell, a hearty laugh sounded: "Hahahaha, if you Zheng Heilong can kill me, what if I give you the name of the Jinfan thief?!" ”

Before the person arrived, he could only hear this heroic and hearty laughter, as if it was filled with the surface of the river, and the fog in all directions was all his voice, and even on the surface of the river, the water waves were also shaking.

The scout of the new country opened his eyes wide, and the black-eyed dragon was also mentally tense to the extreme, and the next moment, he only saw the fog in the east, and dozens of light boats came quickly through the water, and the water thieves on the boat, each of them carried a bow and arrow, with a bird feather on their heads, and wore bells, and their bodies were dressed in splendid clothes, which were extremely gorgeous.

And the man in the front, I saw that he was eight feet long, his arms were thick, full of green tendons, and his forehead was full of brocade turbans, standing at the bow of the boat, talking and laughing freely, and like the rest of the people, with a bow behind his back, and a big knife stuck in the boat next to him.

When the black-eyed dragon saw this scene, he was also frightened, but it was too late to run, and the ship of the brocade thief was extremely fast, and the light boat was fast, and it came straight to their side.
