After a general observation of the topography and environment of the island, Li Rui found that this place is actually quite good. Although there is a shortage of water, I can find a way to make a set of seawater desalination equipment, surrounded by seawater, and I can also get some salt. The only regret is that the soil on the island seems to be too poor to grow crops, and it is difficult to provide food for itself.

"This island is not bad, even if your old man is not too ruthless, it is still possible to live in it." Li Rui said: "By the way, you have to find a few people for me when the time comes, I can't hold it alone, I must have more people stationed there."

"Oh yes, get me a few more cannons, if the bandits dare to come again, a few more cannons will be honest."

Li Dongjiang looked at Li Rui dumbfounded, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"I said, brother, you have too much appetite, right? If you want people, you still need weapons and equipment, and you are a military factory in my family?"

Li Rui waved his hand and said, "What method you use is your business, in short, you have to get me these things, otherwise I will find your sister to go."

Li Dongjiang's eyes widened, and he said, "Hey, are you going to eat me, don't you know that my sister is scaring me, if I don't agree, what can you do to me?" Although my sister is married to you, I break my bones and tendons with her, and if I can't do it, she will depend on you for everything."

"Then you'll have to wait and see."

Just when Li Rui and Li Dongjiang were discussing how to carry out construction on the island in the future, the group of bandits who had been beaten away slipped back to an island almost hundreds of nautical miles away from Erheshan Island.

Haizhou is located on the coast, and Dongjun and Tongxin City have long-distance coastlines, and there are many small islands along the line. As early as the First Empire, bandits in Haizhou were frequent, and they were extremely harmful to the coastal people. Most of these bandits are the losing side of the local powerful struggle, as the so-called winner of the prince and the loser, the losing party has to fall into the grass to avoid encirclement and pursuit, and the coastal area is mostly plains, it is unrealistic to occupy the mountains as the king, so these bandits occupy the island as the king, and make a living by robbing the passing merchant ships.

Of course, robbing merchant ships is just a small fight after all, and these bandits still want to make a comeback in the final analysis, so there are often many invisible places hidden behind a bandit's den: collusion between officials and bandits, collusion of interests, and so on. In order to make a comeback, these bandits are attached to some wealthy families, acting as thugs, and doing things for them that cannot see the light of day; therefore, every time the official organization to suppress the bandits is fruitless, and if you want to completely exterminate them, you need to spend a lot of financial, manpower, and material resources.

The island is full of tall wooden houses, like a group of indigenous people.

But they had a lot of weaponry, stacked on one side of the island, and housed in two huge wooden houses.

The bandits on the two boats that ran back fled from the boats to the island in a panic, and it turned out that this island turned out to be the base camp of these bandits.

Deep on the island, inside a wooden building that is noticeably more luxurious than the other houses on the island.

Two disheveled bandits knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling, and in front of them, a tall man stood quietly with his hands in his hands, with a bit of anger on his face.

"What's your use? You took out seven or eight boats, and the other side was just a speedboat, and you didn't even fight? It's like a rice bucket!"

The man turned his head and shouted at the two bandits on the ground, he was burly, one meter nine, with a scar on his face, which looked extremely terrifying, but he was wearing a very incongruous suit, and he could faintly see a trace of aristocratic temperament.

Hearing this man ask like this, the two men on the ground naturally trembled even more, and they didn't dare to speak at all.

This scar-faced man is the leader of the bandits, the real boss of this island, there are tens of thousands of bandits under him, it can be said that as long as he is on this small island, he is a well-deserved emperor.

In this sea area, on large and small islands, there are almost signs of bandit activities, and Scarface is the strongest of them, and he relies on his strong strength to annex several nearby bandits and form a bandit alliance.

He looked at the two shivering on the ground, a look of disdain and disgust on his face.

"You are Su Zhenchang's subordinates, what about others, where have you gone, are you afraid of being scolded by my brother, and you don't dare to come to see me?" The bandit spoke, walked over to a wooden chair and sat down, took a cigar from the table, cut it, lit it, and took a deep breath.

The faces of the two people who were already trembling on the ground showed expressions of horror and fear, they lowered their heads, their teeth fought up and down in their mouths, and they didn't dare to speak at all.

Seeing this scene, the bandit leader, who had just recovered from the momentum of the cigar, finally realized that something was wrong.

looked at the two people on the ground, and raised his eyebrows: "Su Zhenchang has an accident? Have you been caught?"

The two men on the ground shook their heads.

The bandit leader's face changed, and he got up suddenly, and the cigar in his mouth was bitten off by him and fell to the ground!

His eyes glared at the two people on the ground, and he suddenly let out an angry roar, asking, "Could it be that Su Zhenchang is dead!?"

The two people on the ground immediately howled and cried, lying on the ground and kowtowing wildly.

Li Rui naturally didn't know that there was an isolated island in the sea not too far away from him, and naturally he didn't know that that island was also the territory of bandits.

Just when he was thinking about how to build Erheshan Island in the future, suddenly there was a whistle in the distance.

The whistle was coming from their speedboat.

Li Rui and Li Dongjiang both frowned in unison.

"What's going on? Are the bandits coming again?"

Li Dongjiang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "No, don't these bandits want to live? I'm in such a hurry to be reincarnated."

"Something is wrong, hurry, hurry back to the ship!"

When they arrived at the ship, they looked through the binoculars and realized that there were indeed many more ships in the sea ahead.

Only this time the number of ships is obviously much more than the last time, but at first glance, there are about twenty ships, which can already be called a fleet.

"Oh no, where are these bandits, it's clearly a well-trained fleet." Li Rui said.

Li Dongjiang's face also changed slightly, and he said, "I have just called the old man and asked him to transport a batch of supplies, but it will definitely not arrive for a while, and our shells are only a few rounds, and there are too many bandit ships, so I am afraid that I will ......."

Li Rui frowned, and couldn't help asking, "How can there be so many bandits? Is the law and order in Haizhou so bad?"

"This is not a question of whether the law and order is good or not, since ancient times, they have been kings and losers, and these bandits were all powerful figures before." Li Dongjiang said contemptuously: "Once the son of heaven is a courtier, if they fail, they can only be called bandits."

"Could it be that there are bandits on Erheshan Island, there are also bandits on other islands?" Li Rui asked.

"Hehe, Li Rui, you are so naïve, between these bandits and bandits, they are all relatives, and they used to be from a big family."

"My good man, your dad is playing with my life, I thought it would be over after conquering this island, but I didn't expect ......."

In fact, what he didn't know was that Erheshan Island was indeed a place where bandits were entrenched, but because the houses on Erheshan Island had not yet been built, the bandits' headquarters were temporarily placed on other islands, and they were going to move here again after a while.

"Why don't we retreat for the time being, and come back next time when we're ready?" Li Dongjiang frowned.

However, Li Rui shook his head, a glint flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Li Dongjiang, and said, "Is there a motorboat?"

"What are you going to do?" Li Dongjiang was stunned for a moment, and vaguely guessed Li Rui's thoughts in his heart, but he was not sure, this was too risky.

"These bandits are too rampant, I want them to know how powerful Lao Tzu is!"

Hearing Li Rui say this, Li Dongjiang also had a burst of pride in his heart, and he wanted to say it when I went with you, but it was really too risky to do so, and this sentence was not said after all.

He just said, "Be careful." This led to the preparation of the dinghy.

They carry on speedboats

A small motorboat was used as an escape tool in the event of a breakdown.

Li Rui sat on the motorboat, looked at the splashing waves around him, and pulled out the peerless sword from his waist, the cold air was overwhelming.

His eyes looked at the ships that the bandits were getting closer and closer in the distance, and his face became serious.

On the bandits' ship, the bandit leader Su Zhenxiao sat on the deck, with a bottle of wine on the table next to him, holding a bewitching woman in his arms, with revealing clothes and a charming face.

"Master Xiao, there's a dinghy approaching our ship ahead!" A bandit hurried over from the bow of the ship and spoke.

Su Zhenxiao took a sip of wine, pinched the buttocks of the woman in his arms, and a hideous smile appeared on his face, and said contemptuously, "Really? This man can't wait to come and die? Don't be in a hurry to kill him first, let the people in front of you stop firing, catch him on the boat, Lao Tzu will torture him slowly!"

When he said this, Su Zhenxiao's face flashed, and he looked extremely hideous.

The woman in her arms was pinched vigorously by Su Zhenxiao, and her body couldn't help but move in his arms, she lowered her body coquettishly, kissed Su Zhenxiao's face, and said, "Master Xiao, I want to see you peel off his skin."

Su Zhenxiao smiled again, and suddenly picked up the woman's body, making her straddle her lap. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of withered yellow teeth, his eyes were gloomy, and said, "Zhenchang, look at it, I will peel off this kid's skin to honor you."

Li Rui set up the motorboat all the way forward, getting closer and closer to the bandits' boats, but these bandits did not fire at themselves, which couldn't help but make Li Rui's heart secretly surprised.

"It seems that these bandits thought they were here to surrender or die, so they wanted to capture them alive." Li Rui thought to himself.

That's just right, without the influence of the cannonballs, Li Rui approached the bandits' ships more easily, and even several escort ships next to the command ship got out of the way and took the initiative to let him in.

When the motorboat reached the underside of the command ship, the bandits sent several assault boats over and watched him slowly approach the command ship all the way.

However, what the bandits never expected was that Li Rui did not come to surrender at all, and of course it was impossible to send him to death.

I saw Li Rui's body suddenly swoop, and he flew directly from the motorboat to a height of three meters, reached out and grabbed the hull of the protruding edge of the boat, and then jumped up again with the help of force, and jumped directly onto the deck.

This series of actions was completed in an instant, and several bandits were about to step forward to grab Li Rui, but when they saw him jumping up by himself, their faces changed and they were stunned for a while.

Li Rui didn't talk nonsense, and waved the peerless sword in his hand, cutting several bandits in front of him in half in an instant.

With every step he took, one of the bandits lay in a pool of blood, and by ten steps, he had already killed most of the bandits on board.

The other bandits reacted, but it was too late. Li Rui just wielded the Peerless Sword, and between the flickering shadows of the sword, there were only screams and blood from the bandits.
