In the West Thousand Lake, a fishing boat wrapped in iron ramming horns broke through the mirror-like lake, the turquoise water waves rippled around, constantly flapping the butterfly leaves floating on the lake, looking up, in the blue sky like a jewel, there were occasionally a few white clouds floating by.

The warm breeze blows from the lake, gently brushing every inch of the skin on the body, like the mother's gentle caressing, which makes people indescribably comfortable, and at the end of the water and sky in front of which there is no end in sight, finally a few points of golden yellow, as the hunting boat continues to move forward, the golden yellow is more and more brilliant.

Under the scorching sun, the golden leaves are as dazzling as golden leaves, and when you look at it from a distance, it looks like there is a golden mountain in front of you.

"That's the island where our village is located, Qifeng Island, the dazzling gold we see now is the color of the most old thousand-year-old maple on the island!"

Fengtang Village on Qifeng Island belongs to Nanhu County, Qianhu County, Jinfeng Prefecture, in the south of Yangzhou Bafu, and this fishing boat is the fishermen of Fengtang Village, and the leader is called Feng Thirteen, well, Feng Thirteen is his name, not a nickname, a man in his early thirties, who is also the village chief of Fengtang Village.

However, from the questioning, Leng Zhuo also asked something different, such as although this Fengtang Village is a village under the jurisdiction of the empire, but in fact, it is a semi-autonomous state, because more than ten years ago, the West Qianhu area had a popular rebellion because of a greedy official, and the entire seven counties of Qianhu County were almost affected, and the matter was very troublesome, and the government crusaded and suppressed it several times, but finally failed miserably for various reasons.

Several crusades were fruitless, a large number of officials were dismissed because of this, Yangzhou town guard to remove the governor of Jinfeng Mansion, after the governor took office, immediately changed the strategy, the recruitment of the people to appease the people, and publicly beheaded the corrupt official's family, and made a promise not to pursue it, which quelled the turmoil, but after the turmoil subsided, the government's retaliation followed, some of the leaders were arrested by the government, when everyone realized that they were deceived, the army of officers and soldiers mobilized from the foreign government also entered the West Thousand Lake, at that time the West Thousand Lake was red with blood。

Although more than ten years have passed since that rebellion, the bloody past has long been annihilated in the prosperity, and no one remembers it, but the turmoil has made Qianhu County more and more difficult to manage.

In addition to some important towns and important places in Qianhu County, the government's control over other places is not as good as before, and island villages like Jinfeng Island, which is located in the southern lake of West Qianhu Lake, because of the relationship between the Qianhu Lake pirates, there are no village heads, tax collectors and other sesame officials dispatched by the government, except for the routine collection of taxes once a year, there are almost no people from the government to arrive, which is equivalent to the semi-autonomy of the village.

And the person who spoke was one of the participants in the rebellion that year, it is estimated that this guy was younger than him at that time, although he was later appeased, but it can also be said that he was half a thief, who knows if he changed his ways.

"Village Chief Feng, your village won't be the nest of the Qianhu Lake thieves, lead us over and catch them all!" Leng Zhuo always felt that this resolute-looking man was not as honest as he looked, this was the territory of the Qianhu Lake thieves, and there was nothing greasy between the two, who would believe it.

Feng 13 shook his head and said: "Although I can be regarded as half a lake thief, but it is not the same as that group of people, the Qianhu Lake thieves who rebelled against the government for everyone's sake have long since changed their taste, especially after the death of Tang Long's family, the Qianhu Lake thieves have transformed only for money, the real lake thieves of women, although Feng still has some connections with them, but it is also for the sake of the village." ”

"I hope you're not lying to me!" Looking at Qifeng Island, which was already close, Leng Zhuo couldn't help but be a little cranky, after all, it was indispensable to guard against people, especially when he heard that this guy also participated in the ranks of riots and killed officials back then, and even fought a few battles with the officials and soldiers who came to suppress him, and he also admitted that he was also connected with the lake pirates, such a guy with a deep background in lake pirates, how could Leng Zhuo completely believe it.

The area of Qifeng Island is not large, the area of the whole island is only seven or eight square kilometers, the whole island is like a mound protruding from the lake, there is a golden maple forest on it, well, it is said to be a piece, but in fact there are only seven, the full name of this maple tree is called water banyan golden maple, each tree has countless water roots, after the water roots grow, it will also open branches and leaves, become a tree by itself, and the formation of this island, to a large extent, is also because of these water banyan golden maple, because its root system is developed, and can be soaked in water without rotting, and this land is also tightly grasped by them, to form an island。

Between several large trees, there is a opening, into which boats row, but it is a small inner lake, in which more than 20 large and small fishing boats are moored, and around the lake, there are tree houses on the branches of the golden maple tree, and all kinds of food crops and vegetables are planted on the small soil under the trees.

A beautiful little island.

"The village chief is back, the village chief is back, and he has hunted a sword dolphin beast!" several villagers on the small pier shouted excitedly when they saw the sword dolphin beast that was several laps smaller than the boat.

"Young master, it doesn't seem like there are lake pirates on the island!"

"Be careful, keep an eye on him, and leave two people to guard the boat, let's go down!"

Wind Thirteen's home is perched on a branch of a main maple tree, and the water roots of the golden maple form a natural pillar that supports the wooden platform, and on the platform, there are two slightly larger rooms.

"This is my wife, Feng Qian, this is my son, Feng Rong!" Feng 13 introduced the woman and the child sitting on the platform, and said to the woman who greeted her: "Go and take out the golden maple wine brew at home, these people are my saviors, if it weren't for them, you might not see me!"

Feng Qian gratefully saluted Leng Zhuo and the others, and walked towards the house, but Feng Thirteen put his arms around his son and said with a smile: "There are no good things to entertain in the village, and the only thing that can be used may be the wine brewed by this golden maple dew!"

Leng Zhuo took the wine brought by the beautiful woman, the color of the wine was golden yellow like the golden maple, exuding bursts of wine aroma: "Well, it's very fragrant!"

"Now you should tell me why you provoke such a demonic beast that you can't afford to provoke, a fifth-order guy, even if it is seven or eight psychics, it may not be able to do it, at least you need the spirit master to take action to be sure, you group of people are trying to find death!" Leng Zhuo asked again.

"Actually, there's something I lied about!" looked at the honest Wind Thirteen.

"Oh!" Leng Zhuo's cup that was originally brought to his lips suddenly stopped, could it be that the wine was drugged, but fortunately he hadn't drunk it yet, but seeing that several people around him drank the wine in their hands one after another, Leng Zhuo's face couldn't help but change.

Leng Zhuo shook the wine bowl, directly took out the spear spirit, aimed it at Feng Thirteen's head, and said to a person behind him: "Do you feel dizzy, or any other reaction?" ”

"I knew that you seemingly honest guy was not honest, and you still dare to say that it has nothing to do with lake thieves!" Leng Zhuo made a move here, and his eyes casually glanced at the only entrance to the small lake on the island, and two more boats rowed in, and there was a spearpoon pattern flag hanging on the boat, just looking at it from a distance, it could be seen that the people on the boat were not good stubble.

It is clear that this is a trap.
