They went all the way south and didn't encounter any suspicious people.

However, it did not let them take off their guard, but also increased the vigilance in their hearts, after all, they had encountered so many pirates before, but now there are no ones, and they have to be guarded.

Because he was too busy along the way, the soldiers behind him were gradually struggling to keep up, so Ouyang Huaiyu planned to rest on the spot for a while.

He gave the order to go down, and the soldiers behind him all sat down on the spot.

Xia Zhixue looked at the surrounding environment and found that there was a lake of water next to it, so she took the kettle and took the water and handed it to Ouyang Huaiyu.

"Whoa."

"Hmm." After Ouyang Huaiyu glanced at it, he took the water without hesitation, raised his head and drank it all.

Since it is located in a coastal area, there is no need to worry about water shortage.

"We've met so many pirates before, but now we can't touch any of them, these pirates are cunning by nature, are they secretly calculating us?" Xia Zhixue frowned lightly and asked worriedly.

She didn't think that pirates could be so easily deterred by their coercion, after all, they had been lurking in this area for years, and how could they really be afraid of them as "outsiders" if they knew this place better than they did.

It is precisely because they don't know the bottom of the matter that Xia Zhixue is even more worried in her heart, because they are in a passive position.

They are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark.

It's hard to guarantee whether the pirates will secretly release cold arrows, otherwise it will be too late if they really want to defend again.

"You don't have to worry too much, even if they do come, we're not vegetarians."

Ouyang Huaiyu's voice was not loud, but every time every sentence carried his unique momentum, it made people feel stable in their hearts.

Xia Zhixue looked at the man, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a smile, she heard Ouyang Huaiyu say that, and she really felt much more stable in her heart.

After another half of the hour, Ouyang Huaiyu asked everyone to get up and start to hurry again.

Xia Zhixue had already rested, and then stepped forward together, who knew that this was a group of vague people, so they ran towards them from the front.

Xia Zhixue was also taken aback, because he couldn't see this group of people very clearly, the black pressure was overwhelming, and he felt that there were quite a lot of people, could it be a pirate?

The soldiers also drew their swords and looked at the group warily.

Ouyang Huaiyu also narrowed his eyes and looked over there.

"I don't think it's a pirate." The person standing closest to Ouyang Huaiyu muttered.

The closer the group of people got closer to them, they found that it was indeed not pirates, but a group of ragged people, Xia Zhixue couldn't help frowning, revealing his doubts.

The crowd did not look like pirates, but some people dressed in tatters, and as soon as they arrived in front of them, they fell to their knees, crying and pleading:

"Official, official, help......"

Ouyang Huaiyu didn't let his guard down on this, but just asked out loud, "Who are you?" ”

An old villager at the front replied loudly: "We escaped from Lihua Village, the pirates persecuted our homeland, we fled all the way here, and when we saw the official, we saw the big savior and rushed over, official, help." ”

People after the earthquake also shouted for help.

This group of people is old and young, and when they came to see Ouyang Huaiyu and them, they really seemed to regard them as saviors.

When Xia Zhixue faced a pair of children's innocent eyes, her heart was also shocked. Lewen

These are just ordinary people, but they were forced by the pirates to flee their homeland.

She tugged at Ouyang Huaiyu's sleeve, as if asking if she should help them?

In fact, she subconsciously still felt that she needed to help, after all, there were children among them, no matter what adults were? The children are still innocent, and how much do they know.

Ouyang Huaiyu glanced at Xia Zhixue, and finally waved his hand and said, "You are following behind our team, there will be someone to protect you, and if you are hungry, you can also eat." ”

After he finished speaking, he whispered instructions to the adjutant next to him.

The people looked at him with even more gratefulness, and after kowtowing to him three times, they were led to the back of the line by the soldiers.

Although Xia Zhixue felt a little distressed just now, after coming back to her senses, she was a little worried, afraid that there would be no one sent by the pirates among the people.

Now that they have traveled so far, they must be careful about everything.

As if he knew what Xia Zhixue was thinking, Ouyang Huaiyu patted her head soothingly:

"Okay, don't worry, I've sent someone to keep an eye on them, and someone will tell us if anything happens."

Ouyang Huaiyu has always been cautious and cautious in handling things, and she doesn't need Xia Zhixue to worry about it at all, she nodded with a smile.

For taking in these people, Ouyang Huaiyu, as a representative of the imperial court, even if he has doubts in his heart, he must take them in.

After all, he represents the imperial court, and if he ignores such a group of people and is passed out, it will also cause great harm to his own reputation, let alone the imperial court.

The best thing to do now is to take them with you, and then send someone to keep an eye on them.

After a long delay, they continued to move south......

At night, the lights are bright

The pirates have already occupied most of the coastal areas, so their ships are basically parked at the docking, and there are people keeping watch here all the time.

On one of the more extravagant ships, it was the pirate boss who stepped down.

He stepped forward to greet the person walking opposite with a smile, wanting to shake hands with him, but he was directly ignored.

The pirate boss's face was a little unpleasant, but he was helpless, and looked at more groups of black-clothed people standing behind the man in black, and he knew it in his heart.

"Hmm."

The man in black didn't say much to him, and borrowed a look to signal the subordinates next to him, and the rest of the men in black all entered the ships in an orderly manner.

Although the lights were still bright just now, there was a new batch of people on the still slightly lonely boat, and it suddenly became different.

This group of black-clothed pirates is more well-trained than these pirates, and there is also a clear contrast in momentum, coupled with the comparison in numbers, it is suddenly highlighted.

The pirates have occupied so many coastal areas, but there are not enough people, but the men in black have solved this problem.

But it is precisely because of this that the pirates are also on the weak side.

"Is that all?"

"It's hard to see what you want, you have to treat these brothers of mine well, don't upset them, I can tell you clearly, they are much better than your subordinates who can only embroider their fists and legs."

The man in black gave a cool warning.

The pirates naturally didn't dare, not to mention that they couldn't fight in terms of numbers, and their kung fu alone was not comparable to them.
