Chapter 173 - Why don't you leave
Looking at the water thieves rushing over, Huang Xu snorted coldly. With his bare hands, he did not flinch in the face of dozens of water thieves.
"Kill!" Huang Xu let out a loud shout and rushed towards the water thief.
The water thief who bore the brunt of the attack punched him in the chest, and the strong attack directly sent his body flying upside down. Then, he reached out and grabbed the black iron-level mace in his hand. began to swing, and with each swing, a water thief was knocked away by Huang Xu.
Bang!
A figure flew upside down, smashing the table on the deck.
In a matter of minutes, Huang Xu killed dozens of water thieves. At this time, the water thieves stopped one after another, and their eyes looked at a slightly stronger water thief behind them, intentionally or unintentionally.
Their actions naturally couldn't hide from Huang Xu, and in an instant, Huang Xu directly locked his eyes on him. With a single step, he rushed towards him at great speed.
The water thief was stunned for a moment, then roared and raised the steel broadsword in his hand to slash at Huang Xu's head.
"Force Split...... Huashan! Huang Xu let out a low voice, much lazier and the water thief ink.
The mace attacked the water thief with a blood-colored light, and Huang Xu's attack made the water thief stunned. This water thief is not a parallel import, and seeing this, he hurriedly put the stainless steel broadsword sideways and put on a blocking posture.
Bang!!
A metal clash rang out on the deck, and the big knife in the thief's hand flew away. The mace in Huang Xu's hand was castrated unabated, and it hit the water thief's chest hard. Then, the water thief was knocked away and fell into the distance, his body twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving.
Throwing the mace casually, Huang Xu drank violently: "If you don't wait quickly, you will be caught!" ”
As he spoke, Huang Xu's eyes swept around sharply. There were dozens of water thieves around, but none of them dared to look at Huang Xu. All the bandits who were stared at by Huang Xu subconsciously threw away the weapons in their hands. Some people take the lead, and others follow suit. Like a hot potato, he threw away the weapon in his hand.
Seeing this, Huang Xu nodded with satisfaction: "You, go and let the rower stop." No one is allowed to move without my command. ”
"Yes, yes......"
The water thief pointed out by Huang Xu almost ran over with a rolling belt.
Neighborhood:
Seeing that the ship stopped, Jiang Nan silently breathed a sigh of relief. Made, it's so bad that there are ships on a small island.
When the ship was recaptured, the chaos it caused disappeared. The surrounding soldiers once again set up their formations and stood ready for battle. All the water thieves who tried to escape were shot one after another.
It was surrounded by the island for about two hours, and then there was no movement outside the island. Jiang Nan and Xi Zhicai met each other, and then marched towards the island under the protection of Huang Xu.
On the road:
"Zhicai, why didn't I see Long Zhan today? Didn't you inform him? Jiang Nan hugged Xiao Qiao, turned to look at Xi Zhicai who was sitting at the other end and asked.
Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Lord, Zhicai informed him yesterday. I haven't seen him today, maybe he has something to do in his own place. ”
Jiang Nan nodded when he heard this, and then stopped asking.
Soon, the boat reached the entrance to the island. Jiang Nan got off the boat and came to the island with Xi Zhicai. The island looks lush on the outside, but it's not messy at all, it's very orderly and orderly.
Along the way, Jiang Nan and the others did not encounter any obstacles. Except for the corpses that can be seen on the road from time to time, the surroundings are very quiet and eerie.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, rows of buildings appeared in the sight of Jiang Nan and others. Jiangnan glanced at each other, and then walked there. As soon as I got close there, I happened to see Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.
Jiangnan saw them, and naturally they also discovered Jiangnan.
hurriedly walked over: "Lord, why are you here?" Hansheng and I are about to go back and call you. ”
Jiang Nan hugged Xiao Qiao and smiled slightly, and then said, "Dian Wei, Hansheng, how is the situation here now?" ”
As he spoke, Jiang Nan looked ahead.
Huang Zhong replied at this time: "Lord, we have pacified the water thieves here. Since the lord has come to the island, presumably the water thieves outside have been dealt with by the lord. ”
…… Jianglan blue card dividing line......
On the island:
Jiang Nan took Huang Zhong, Xi Zhicai and others into the building, and at this time, Jiang Nan also had some general understanding of the situation here.
This small island was originally inhabited by some residents, and the reason why Jiangnan didn't know it was because they had been doing some activities with Yangzhou. However, one day, a gang of water thieves stumbled upon the place. Then, they took over the place and ruled over its inhabitants.
The water thieves are not inhabitants, after occupying this small island. He began to take this island as the center and secretly survey the situation everywhere. Eventually, they discovered a shipyard built in Jiangnan Township.
So, they robbed the dockyard of things. Unexpectedly, robbing an ordinary dock actually caused the disaster of annihilation. If these water thieves knew that such a result would be, that is, to give them two catties of bear bile, they would not come to rob them.
"Shaoxia, thank you for this young man's life-saving grace. On behalf of the entire villagers, the little old man thanked the young man for saving his life. At this moment, a white-haired old man hurriedly ran to Jiang Nan's side, knelt on the ground and said gratefully.
Although it was Dian Wei and Huang Zhong who saved them, when they walked, everyone respected Jiangnan. The old man has lived a long time, and he still has this eyesight.
"This old man, you are very polite. It's a little bit of a gesture for me, and you don't have to do it. Jiang Nan said, glancing at Xi Zhicai.
Jiang Nan was holding Xiao Qiao in his arms, and it was inconvenient to support the old man.
Xi Zhicai hurriedly helped the old man up at this time.
While observing nearby, Jiang Nan asked, "Old man, you live on this small island. Food, clothing, housing and transportation must be very inconvenient. Also, why didn't you choose to leave here when you were being controlled by the water thieves? ”
Having lived on this small island for so long, Jiangnan believes that they will definitely leave some people. However, judging by the situation here, the inhabitants here would rather endure the oppression of the water thieves than choose to leave.
Hearing this, the old man sighed softly and continued: "Benefactor, we are forced to do this. ”
As he spoke, the old man said slowly: "We live here, and we can only use the limited land on the island to grow some food. With the addition of some freshwater fish we caught, life is quite comfortable. Because this place is little known, we don't have to pay high taxes. However, if you live in Yangzhou, you can't. Even the high taxes are not something we can afford. That's why we choose to be bullied by water thieves and don't want to leave here. Here, at the very least, we can have our stomachs fed. ”
After speaking, the old man sighed deeply.
Jiang Nan frowned when he heard this......
