The pirate didn't expect Thundercloud to be so vulnerable, and his nerves, which had been tightened, suddenly relaxed, he beckoned to Thundercloud, motioned for him to get up and continue, and then put Thundercloud down several times in a row like a monkey, and the long knife left several deep wounds on Thundercloud's body.

After a few rounds, Lei Yun found that the pirate's martial arts were very fierce, he was not an opponent at all, and if he continued to fight, he was estimated to be defeated and killed sooner or later, thinking of this, he immediately turned around and fled towards the sea, the pirate was about to end the play, but the result of Lei Yun, where would he let go, immediately chased after Lei Yun, and chased Lei Yun to the sea, but suddenly found that Lei Yun was gone.

The pirate suddenly felt that something was wrong, and was about to return to the shore, but suddenly he felt a strong force on his feet, and immediately lost his balance, and fell into the water, a pair of iron pincer-like hands dragged his legs quickly to the depths of the sea, and the force was so great that he could pull him to run in the seawater, and he was just about to open his mouth to call for help, and a large mouthful of sea water choked in......

It is late at night, the whole Taoyuan Village is quiet, only the ancestral hall in the village is very lively, the men, women and children who should have gone to bed on weekdays are gathering here at the moment, the ground in the ancestral hall is full of bunks, the women are sitting or lying down and talking about the pirate attack, most of the men are squatting under the eaves and smoking dry cigarettes, most of them are frowning and sighing, only the children are the happiest, chasing around in the yard, playing and playing, two cauldrons are erected in the middle of the yard, Two large pots of steaming shrimp and crab porridge are tumbling in the pot.

This porridge is made of fresh shrimp and crab that has just been beaten down in the field and chopped with shells, and then accompanied by ginger shreds, salt and other condiments, boiled for an hour and a half, the boiled porridge is snow-white, and particularly viscous, the aroma is tangy, with a spoon lightly, the shrimp and crab meat in the porridge and the small ginger shreds will be churned up, drink while it is hot, not only the taste is extremely delicious, but also can drive away the damp and cold air at night.

Soon, everyone was given a large bowl of shrimp and crab porridge, and even pets such as cats and dogs were also shared.

Suddenly, the door of the ancestral hall was kicked open, and two pirates with torches rushed in, and then a large group of pirates rushed in, and without saying much, they killed people when they saw them, and the villagers were suddenly in a mess, and Village Chief Zhao was shocked, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the pirates and shouted:

"You ... You guys... You guys..... ā€

Then he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Shangguan Di, Brother Shangguan, the pirates are here, help......"

The pirates didn't talk nonsense, and as soon as they closed the gate, a massacre began, and immediately cried and screamed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the ancestral hall soon became a scene like purgatory on earth.

The frenzied slaughter lasted for about ten minutes, and the crying gradually died down, and the pirates were about to start looking for their belongings, when suddenly the fire was in full bloom, countless torches were lit on the courtyard walls on all sides, and hundreds of archers appeared on the courtyard walls.

The pirates were taken aback, and the bald pirate leader Shi Yu came out in a deep voice:

"Brother Shangguan, what are you doing here?"

Shangguan Di didn't answer, and said with a wave of his hand:

"Shoot the arrows, kill them all, and leave no one behind."

In an instant, the arrows were like flying locusts, and they shot condescendingly at the pirates in the courtyard, and the second massacre officially began......

When the thundercloud returned to the shore, he found that the direction of Taoyuan Village was already in flames.

"As expected." Thundercloud muttered to himself.

As if to confirm Lei Yun's guess, the immortal mark also came with a prompt at this time:

"Your hidden mission, brother and sister love is deep, due to the death of the key character of the mission, Chu Lianyi, the mission automatically fails."

Although this incident was expected by Lei Yun, but it really happened, it still made Lei Yun feel sorry for a while, he wanted to take the lovely Chu Lianyi out of Taoyuan Village, but Chu Lianyi insisted on staying, and second, he still had a task to do, so it was indeed inconvenient, so he had to give up.

In fact, Lei Yun has always had a question in his heart: Taoyuan Village is hidden, how do these pirates know that there is a place in Taoyuan Village? How can they be sure that Taoyuan Village must have something worth grabbing? It wasn't until he saw this Shangguan Di that he suddenly realized: it turned out that it was this Shangguan Di who really had the idea of Taoyuan Village.

Shangguan Di's appearance was that he came too quickly, and the greed he revealed in the face of wealth had betrayed him early in the morning. The suggestion of letting the whole village gather in the ancestral hall, although it is called protection, but from the other side, it is also the best way to make it more convenient to wipe out the whole village and leave no trouble.

Lei Yun was almost certain that the pirates had gotten the news that the Eight Achievements were deliberately released by Shangguan Di, using Taoyuan Village as bait to lure the pirates in, and then exterminate the pirates after the pirates ransacked Taoyuan Village. In this way, he not only obtained the wealth of Taoyuan Village, but also made military merits, this Shangguan Di is so calculating, it is really a good calculation.

It's just that the thundercloud didn't say it, and no one would believe it if it was said; Second, Shangguan Di's plan actually helped Lei Yun a lot, whether it was to kill the pirate leader Shi Yu by the hands of this general, or to hit the pirates hard, it would be very helpful for Lei Yun to do the task to reap the benefits, as for the life and death of the villagers in Taoyuan Village, it is not something that Lei Yun cares about.

After calculating the time in his mind, Thundercloud entered the cave, and found that the cave was actually very wide, and many goods stolen by pirates were scattered here, and there was a large pool in the middle of the cave, and the pool water showed a strange red color, but it turned out that there was a large number of rare red seaweed growing at the bottom of the water, and in addition, the cave was empty.

After searching around for a long time, Thundercloud found that there was only one entrance to this cave, and he was immediately surprised: how could a pirate choose a dead place as a stronghold? No, there must be other exits, so I looked around and looked at the pool.

After jumping into the waterhole to investigate, Thundercloud was overjoyed, it turned out that this waterhole was an extremely hidden exit: under the waterhole there was a waterway leading to the outside of the cave, although it was extremely long, but there were several gaps between the sea water and the cave in the middle, which could be used for ventilation, and with the water nature of the pirates, it was not difficult to pass through.

Thunderclouds made their way down the waterway, and when they reached the exit, they found that it was a hollow in the edge of the cliff, extremely hidden, and there was a medium-sized sailboat parked on the sea, with clean clothes, fresh water and food, apparently the pirates had prepared for a long time to escape. Thunderclouds were not polite, and sat in the boat to eat and drink, and immediately after eating, he scuttled the boat and returned to the cave along the waterway.

At this time, it was dawn, and more than a dozen pirates were gathering in the cave, and the first person was the burly bald pirate leader Shi Yu, who was holding a bright machete in his hand, and the muscles of his fine upper body were raised one by one, and there were many knife wounds of different shades on it, the most conspicuous was a huge knife wound from the left shoulder to the right ribs, the dead white skin and flesh turned out, obviously the knife wound was extremely deep, but fortunately, the bleeding had stopped.

The rest of the pirates were also wounded, all of them panting, sitting or lying around Shi Yu, obviously exhausted after a night of fighting.

Lei Yun slowly poked his head out of the water, the light in the cave was very poor, so no one noticed him, this was the first time that Lei Yun observed the appearance of the pirate leader Shi Yu at close range, seeing that he was in a desperate situation but did not panic at all, he had a kind of fierce temperament that was not afraid of death, and his heart was really strong. At this time, Shi Yu coughed and said:

"Shangguan Di, you don't fucking be trustworthy, after you say that you will divide it in half, you want to eat alone, and you have to kill us, I have not given you any benefits for so many years, are you not afraid that I will expose you?"

It turned out that although Shangguan Di was the defender of Jianye City, he secretly accepted bribes from pirates, connived at and shielded this group of pirates, and he also revealed information about the activities of merchant ships to the pirates, helping pirates rob merchant ships, sell stolen goods, and share the fat from them, his behavior is more hateful than that of pirates.

Recently, he heard that the post of General Chang'an was vacant, and his qualifications were just qualified to fill the vacancy, so he wanted to check up and down in order to be promoted.

But after inquiring, I found out that the cost required was simply astronomical, although Shangguan Di had a lot of savings, but it was still too far away, and there was nothing to be done, so he started the idea of Taoyuan Village, so he personally repaired the book, and wanted to borrow the hands of this group of pirates to wash Taoyuan Village in blood, and then this group of pirates who knew many of his secrets were also wiped out, so as to kill two birds with one stone, never suffer from future troubles, and then go straight to Chang'an, and be promoted to make a fortune.

Who knew that this pirate leader Shi Yu was also extremely fierce, and under the desperate protection of several cronies, he actually escaped. He had no choice but to order the adjutant general to move his belongings back to the barracks first, and then set fire to Taoyuan Village, and he himself personally brought people to chase after them, and he was determined to exterminate all these pirates.
