Three days have passed in the blink of an eye. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After receiving a large number of free labor, Xiaoyao Island once again ushered in rapid development, especially Han Cong's Feng Shui Bureau plan, which was promoted like never before.
Deng Yi also wanted to complete this feng shui bureau involving the whole island as soon as possible, and was very much looking forward to the effect it would bring.
But according to Han Cong's plan to change again and again, the completion time is still uncertain.
In addition to the hundreds of thousands of free laborers, the twelve spirit-powered warships captured this time are also a huge profit. It is expected that within half a year, these warships can be repaired and refitted, and when they are all sold, they will receive nearly 150,000 taels of gold.
Deng Yi didn't plan to keep these spirit-powered battleships for himself, because they were slightly inferior to the battleships he produced in terms of performance, and it was more appropriate to sell them for money, anyway, there was no shortage of spirit-powered battleships.
The loss of more than 3,000 soldiers in the last pirate attack made Deng Yi very heartbroken, and this time he took advantage of the large profits to launch the largest expansion of Xiaoyao Island.
First of all, more than 13,000 people were directly selected from the reserve army to supplement the regular army, so that the total number of regular troops could be increased to 60,000, and at the same time, the training of new recruits was intensified, and it was planned to increase the number of recruits by another 10,000 by the end of the year, and it is expected that the regular army will reach 80,000 by the end of next year.
"Little one, meet the lord." The second leader of the bloodthirsty pirate group bowed his head and said, this person's name is Zhao Xiaogang, and he is a cowardly and incompetent person.
"Do you know how to get to your lair?"
"Yes, yes." Zhao Xiaogang responded like a chicken pecking rice.
"Let's go!"
Deng Yi gave an order, and the four spirit-powered warships slowly started and sailed towards the vast sea.
After dealing with the post-war affairs and completing the replenishment of troops, Deng Yi immediately led 20,000 troops and four spiritual power warships to start sweeping the nests of the three pirate groups. There must be a lot of wealth in it, and you must not let others take the lead.
"My lord, you see, the island in front of you is the lair of my big boss." Zhao Xiaogang pointed to a green dot in the distance and said.
After two and a half months of day and night, the four warships of Xiaoyao Island finally arrived near Wei Mazi's lair.
"Full speed ahead."
Soon an island of about 100 square kilometers appeared in front of me, and the entire island was covered with lush trees, and it was impossible to see the situation inside.
"My lord, the harbor is on the other side of the island, and we need to get around." Zhao Xiaogang said.
Sure enough, after rounding the island, the first thing that catches your eye is a natural deep-water pier, on which you can see people moving.
As the battleship got closer and closer, the people on the dock seemed to realize that it was not their own people, and they all fled in panic, and disappeared in an instant.
"You haven't forgotten what to do."
"Yes, yes, the little ones don't dare to forget the instructions of the adults, and the little ones will definitely do it properly." Zhao Xiaogang only promised.
Deng Yi patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "That's good, you go down to do things first, we will wait for your good news on the dock." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Only then did Zhao Xiaogang cautiously get off the battleship and walk towards the island.
"Ding Yi."
"The subordinates are here."
"You drive a boat around this island and make a good patrol, don't let this Zhao Xiaogang play any tricks and escape."
"Forgive him and don't dare!"
"It's better to be careful."
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
"It's the second master, the second master is back!"
Zhao Xiaogang didn't go far before he found a few minions who were hiding, and when they saw that they were the second masters, they immediately ran out to greet them warmly.
"Uh-huh." Zhao Xiaogang straightened his clothes and asked magnificently, "How is the situation on the island during this time?" ”
"Hey, what else, it's business as usual." A minion replied.
"That's good. You go and find the fourth master as soon as possible, and say that I am waiting for him in the righteous hall. Then I gathered the other brothers together and waited in the arena, I had something important to announce. ”
"The second master, what is the important thing? Didn't you go out hunting with the big bosses? Why didn't you see the big boss? And what happened to the boat on the dock just now? It doesn't seem to be our ship. ”
"Go, go, where are there so many problems. Naturally, I will tell you that the important thing I am about to announce in a moment is about the big boss. Hurry up, hurry up. ”
drove away a few little minions, Zhao Xiaogang walked alone to the righteous hall he said, and whenever he met a little minions along the way, he instructed him to go to the martial arts arena.
After walking for more than five miles, they found a manor, which was the residence of their big boss Wei Mazi, and it was also the residence of Yitang.
I have to say that Wei Mazi is a person who knows how to enjoy, the manor is a standard six-entry courtyard, covering an area of about one square kilometer, in which pavilions, ponds, streams, flowers and trees are all kinds of scenery next to each other, very luxurious.
Zhao Xiaogang walked in with his head held high, squinting all the way, proudly enjoying the compliments of his minions.
"The surname Zhao, what's going on with the boat on the dock? It wasn't our ship. And didn't you go out with the big boss? Why are you the only one who came back? ”
As soon as Zhao Xiao walked into the gate of the Yitang, he was asked a series of questions, but he didn't care at all, but walked straight to the top and sat down, and said, "It turns out that the four masters arrived one step earlier." You ask me so many questions at once, how can I answer them. Well, if you're thirsty, drink saliva first. ”
Seeing Zhao Xiaogang drink several glasses of water in a row, the fourth master asked impatiently: "You tell me first, what happened to those boats on the dock." ”
"It's very simple, our hunt failed this time, the big boss was killed, I was captured, and now the lord of the family has come with men and horses to collect the goods here." Zhao Xiaogang also said that there were many questions, but now he answered all the questions in one sentence at once.
"Y-What do you mean?" The fourth master was obviously frightened, and stared at Zhao Xiaogang in disbelief.
"What else does it mean, the big boss has been killed, and the enemy is now coming to collect the property accumulated by the big boss, understand?"
"Impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible, that damn bastard Wei Mazi, a selfish bastard, should have died a long time ago."
"You traitor! I'll kill you! The fourth master pulled out his sword and was about to rush up and kill Zhao Xiaogang.
"The surname is Huang, I think you are reluctant to Wei Mazi and want to go to his funeral." Zhao Xiaogang angrily grabbed a chair beside him and threw it at the four masters.
The fourth master split the chair with a sword, glared at Zhao Xiaogang, but did not continue to rush up to fight with him, and said angrily: "surnamed Zhao, you traitor, how can you bring the enemy to the island?" Do you want to kill us all? ”
"Traitor? Hum. Zhao Xiaogang sneered twice and said: "There are more than 100,000 people who have been captured, our bloodthirsty pirate group, as well as the ghost pirate group and the kamikaze pirate group, all of them are missing. I don't come, but people come. But now is not the time to talk about this, you are one of Wei Mazi's closest people, you should know where he hid the treasure. ”
