Lin Sanchuan stopped, he swam to Tian Zhu's side and said, "General Tian, it seems that something is wrong!"

Tian Zhu also said solemnly: "I don't know what kind of tricks they are playing, could it be that they want to lure us deeper?"

Lin Sanchuan nodded and said: "That's what I mean, anyway, our task is just a feint, now that the goal has been achieved, let's withdraw!"

Tian Zhu hurriedly thought in his heart: "In addition to feints, the task of this time is more important to test the strength of the other party, but now it seems that this is in vain." After thinking about it, Tian Zhu shouted in a low voice: "Withdraw!" When everyone heard this, they turned around and swam backwards.

When Lin Sanchuan was swimming forward in the water, he looked at the bottom of the lake again, and immediately said secretly: "The bottom of this lake is really fucking black!" Immediately, Lin Sanchuan suddenly stopped, and there seemed to be a little realization flashing in his mind.

After a short swim forward, they saw the fleet of ships that had come to meet them. As soon as Tian Zhu got on the boat, Hong Qizhe smiled and said, "General Tian, how are the results!"

Tian Zhu smiled bitterly: "It's strange to say, we are attacking outside lively, but the other side has no reaction at all." ”

"Oh?" Hong Qizhe said after snorting lightly, "Could it be that they saw through our feint strategy, so they ignored it?"

Tian Zhu waved his hand and said, "Don't think about this yet, let's go to the next location first." As soon as Tian Zhu's words fell, Lin Sanchuan suddenly came up to his ear and whispered a few words to him. Tian Zhu's face sank suddenly, but he immediately laughed again: "I see, what Brother Lin said is right!"

Hong Qiozhe was confused when he saw this, just when he wanted to speak. Tian Zhu made a silent gesture and motioned for everyone to release arrows into the lake.

After all, Hong Qiouzhe has been in the army for many years, and after a little pondering of Tian Zhu's words and actions just now, he understood his purpose by half. Immediately, he took his bow and crossbow, and was the first to take the lead and shoot an arrow into the water. Suddenly, I saw blood-colored bubbles tumbling up from the water.

When everyone saw this, they dared to hesitate for a moment, and they pulled the string and shot arrows into the water. Then I saw a big movement in the water, and dozens of waves rowed in the direction of Yangyuan Island.

Hong Qizhe shouted: "Brothers, catch up with them! Don't let them run away!"

But at this time, Tian Zhu stopped him and said: "General Hong, don't chase after you." I'm worried that there is still an ambush ahead, so don't delay a big thing just because of the underestimation of the enemy. ”

Hong Qiozhe clenched his fists when he heard this: "Hey, this group of grandsons, sooner or later I have to let them see how powerful Lao Tzu is!"

Tian Zhu patted Hong Qiaozhe is shoulder and said, "The coming day is long, we have a chance, it's better to rush to the next location as soon as possible." But this time, we need to be careful not to fall into the ambush of those thieves again. After that, Tian Zhu looked at Lin Sanchuan again and said, "Brother Lin, how did you know that the water bandit was hiding under the water?"

Lin Sanchuan said with a smile: "It's not difficult, just now on the way to that Yangyuan Island, I found that the closer we get to that Yangyuan Island, the darker and scary it is in the water." I have superhuman eyesight, but all I can see is pitch black. But I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but when I attacked later, I found that the water bandits on the other side were acting abnormally. So when I returned home, I noticed that there was some deliberate darkness in the water, and I couldn't help but think. The bandits on that island are not deliberately trying to attract our attention, but their real purpose is to hide in the water and attack us when we take it lightly. I didn't expect that I was just thinking about it so randomly, and I really hit it!"

Tian Zhu nodded and said, "Brother Lin, your analysis is reasonable, but you are not familiar with what to think about." If you hadn't discovered the ambush hidden under the water, then if we had gone to the north of the island, wouldn't we have been attacked from front to back! I started by thinking that you were a fierce general, but I didn't expect that your brain is much better than that of my brother!"

When Lin Sanchuan heard this, he waved his hand again and again, quite embarrassed.

At this time, Hong Qizhe laughed and said: "Let's wait until we go back to talk about these words, now let's take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then go to the north of the island to take him by surprise!"

Hong Qiozhe said that, and everyone laughed and agreed.

The ship flew away and headed for the north of Yangyuan Island.

The battle in the north of Yangyuan Island was much more intense than the battle just now. Both sides were injured, and when someone was wounded, Tian Zhu also hurriedly ordered to retreat.

In tonight's battle, both sides have their own gains and losses, and there is no winner or loser.

Long Zhengfeng walked slowly in the huge fortress surrounded by towering giant trees, and suddenly, he suddenly released the eagle that had rested on his arm into the forest.

As soon as the eagle flapped its wings, it soared into the sky. It didn't take long for the eagle to fly in front of Long Zhengfeng with a man in black in his mouth. After the eagle put the man in black down, he saw that it was a scarecrow.

Long Zhengfeng stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow stuck in the scarecrow's chest, and he smiled: "It seems that the good hand with arrows is also here tonight." ”

Long Zhengfeng said that, a soaking wet and embarrassed young man walked behind Long Zhengfeng and said: "The head of the family, the subordinates are incompetent, and they have not completed the important task of being in charge." ”

"Winning or losing is a common thing, and you don't need to blame yourself too much. Tonight is just the beginning, and there are many more opportunities to come. By the way, did you come back together?"

When the man heard this, he blamed himself even more: "When I returned to the house, I didn't come back with us, maybe I didn't come back with us, maybe I ...... him."

Before he could finish speaking, Long Zhengfeng interrupted him and said, "Swimming Qin was born for water, he didn't come back, maybe he turned into a dragon and went underwater." He's going to be back, all right, you tell the brothers to change shifts and rest, and they'll come back tomorrow. ”

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

When Zhang Zelan listened to the report of Tian Zhu and the others, his face was as calm as before.

"You have tossed for most of the night, and you have come to the conclusion that the enemy's strength is unfathomable?" Zhang Zelan shook his head and said: "Anyway, the brothers have worked hard tonight, so let's go and rest." Tomorrow, I have to trouble General Tian to bring people to attack Nayangyuan Island again. But Ben doesn't want to be ambushed by someone else next time. ”

Tian Zhu's face was also a little unbearable when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, General Zhang." With that, he walked out without saying a word.

After Tian Zhu left, Zhang Zelan frowned and said to herself: "Long Zhengfeng, what are you afraid of?"

Be safe until the end of the night.

A flat boat swayed freely in the lake, Leng Piaopiao leaned sideways against the wall of the boat, she took off her hat, and let her gorgeous hair hang down into the water. Leng Piaopiao played with his hand lightly, and suddenly chuckled: "Now, the entire barracks are very busy, which highlights the two of us idlers." ”

Dong Ping shook the oars twice and smiled: "The most satisfying thing in life is nothing more than being busy. That being said, I'm not an idler. After that, Dong Ping let go of the oars and took out something from his arms and said, "Look at this?"

Leng Piaopiao glanced at it, and saw that Dong Ping's palm was a gold leaf. Leng Piaopiao sneered: "Look at you, where is this private money so blatantly taken out by you like you." Blame me for my good temper, or I would have confiscated you a long time ago. ”

"Private money, this is not private money. ”

"Oh?"

Dong Ping said with a smile: "This gold leaf is a congratulatory gift given by General Shi. ”

Leng Piaopiao frowned when she heard this: "Congratulatory gift, who to congratulate?"

"Listening to the rumors, Yan Be, the big boss of the Yan family of the water bandits, has to hold a banquet in order to celebrate the housewarming. This gold leaf was given to him as a congratulatory gift. Dong Ping said, Leng Piaopiao straightened up. She twisted her hair and said, "Why would General Shi let you go to the banquet of the water bandits?"

Dong Ping said with a smile: "There have been a lot of things going on in the Qiandao Mansion in the past two days, and today is Yan Bede, since there is a big banquet, there must be a lot of bandit leaders who went to congratulate him." This is going to be a big show, how can we be missing?"

Leng Piaopiao said lightly: "I understand, General Shi wants you to find out the news." This General Shi really dares to entrust you, a newcomer, with a heavy responsibility. Isn't she afraid that you are a spy sent by the bandits, and if you leave, you will shake out the information in the barracks?"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "The so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and the employment is not suspicious." Although General Shi is a woman, she has a good eye for people. She asked me to go because I was a freshface and easy to do. ”

Leng Piaopiao snorted coldly and said, "You are a woman on the left and a woman on the right, do you look down on women so much?"

After hearing this, Dong Ping hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Grandma, where do I dare to look down on women." Just say that the women I met are all capable. That being said, in this world, there are still very few women who can take charge on their own. I was just glad to see such a strange woman. ”

Leng Piaopiao pouted when she heard this: "You are happy, I am not happy." Tell me the truth, who do you think is the most capable of all the women you've ever seen, and who is the most at your liking?"

Dong Ping frowned and said to himself, "I have to think about this." ”

Leng Piaopiao smiled after hearing this: "Then you have to think about it, if you say it wrong, it will be extremely offensive." ”

After a while, Dong Ping shook his head helplessly and said, "If you want to say who takes advantage of me the most, then I have to ask you, I really don't know?"

"You ask me, how do I know again?"

Dong Ping smiled: "Of course I should ask you, because where did I put all my mind on you, how much I want to share with others, and you have to have the final say?"

Leng Piaopiao was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled: "You are really oily and tight." This question is considered to have passed the test. ”

Dong Ping also laughed, but he was relieved in his heart, and let out a long breath: "If Fang just said the wrong thing, would this life be put on hold here?" Thinking about it, Dong Ping was full of fear.

At this time, Leng Piaopiao said again: "I heard that those water bandit nests are extremely tightly guarded, and since Yan Bede is going to celebrate the housewarming today, the guards on the island will definitely be more and not less, how should we get in?"

"Isn't there that gold leaf? Although the water bandits here are rampant, in the final analysis, they are also working for money, as long as there is gold, they can go anywhere. ”

"The gold leaf is gone, what are you going to buy a congratulatory gift? This time I came out just to go boating with you, and I didn't have much gold or silver with me, so you row back quickly, and I'll go get some silver." As soon as Leng Piaopiao's words fell, Dong Ping laughed and said: "Thousands of miles to send feathers, the courtesy is light and affectionate." People have been a water bandit for so many years, can they look down on the silver on your body? You don't need to buy this gift, let's walk on this water, and we can find a treasure that can be used as a gift. ”

With that, Dong Ping dipped his hand in the water. Leng Piaopiao watched Dong Ping's movements with bated breath, and kept guessing what kind of trick Dong Ping was doing this time.

Dong Ping's hand kept paddling in the water, and he said secretly: "I have eaten twice this year, but none of them are undead, I hope this time I can live in peace." Immediately, Dong Ping smiled: "You see, this is luck." Say whatever you want, this time, you will take a good baby. ”

With that, Dong Ping took his hand out of the water.

Leng Piaopiao looked at Dong Ping's hand, and said with a smile: "Wang Ba, do you want to take this as a gift?"

Dong Ping shook his head and said, "This is not Wang Ba, this is a turtle." You still grew up by the water, why can't you even tell the difference between the king and the turtle?"

Leng Piaopiao smiled: "I can't tell the difference, but as long as it's in a shell, I like to call it Wang Ba." But then again, it's too funny for you to take such a royal bastard to give people a congratulatory gift. ”

Dong Ping smiled and said: "You are wrong, I remember that my father had a friend who celebrated his birthday." At that birthday feast, someone pulled a coffin as a congratulatory gift. At that time, when the whole hall looked at the coffin, their faces turned white. But don't you say it, although people brought a coffin, they said a good saying, that is, the four words of promotion and wealth.

The turtle I caught was not as shocking as the coffin, but it was the same. The world often says that the king of the millennium is the eighth, and the tortoise of the ten thousand years. I sent the turtle to people as a congratulatory gift, I wish that Yan will be in charge of the family for a long time, and he will always move to a new home, isn't that very appropriate?"

Dong Ping didn't pay attention to the second half of Dong Ping's sentence, but she was interested in what Dong Ping said earlier about giving a coffin at someone else's birthday banquet. She arrived: "What happened to the person who delivered the coffin?"

Dong Ping frowned when he heard this, "What you asked is boring, what else can you do, of course I was beaten to death by my father's friend." ”

As soon as Dong Ping's words fell, the turtle in his hand fell to the ground and retracted his limbs into the turtle shell. Dong Ping smiled: "Don't say it, that coffin is very similar to this turtle shell." ”

Leng Piaopiao smiled helplessly: "I think we are not much different from the person who sent the coffin." ”

Dong Ping nodded and said, "Ten miles further ahead, there is an island, and there is a town with a large population on that island. When we get to the island, let's buy a brocade box and wrap the turtle. Leng Piaopiao heard this, and this time he was a little relieved.

Shangming Island, where Yan's family is located, is a terrain that is high on all sides and concave in the middle. The tall stone walls that rose around the island became a natural barrier, protecting the small island with a radius of only twenty miles into a dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And there is only one way to cross this barrier and enter the depths of this island, and that is a rugged and bumpy mountain road. And today, on this mountain road, every ten zhang distance, two water bandits are arranged to guard.

Yan Silang walked briskly on the mountain road, and she also looked back from time to time at Dou Buyan and Daqu who were carrying congratulatory gifts behind her.

"Go slower, the road up here is more dangerous. Yan Silang instructed.

Da Qu said with a smile: "Eldest sister, don't worry about us, you go to Yan's Mansion to meet Master Yan first, and we will arrive later." ”

Yan Silang nodded when he heard this, and then accelerated his speed.

When Dong Ping was still some distance away from Na Shangming Island, he saw a large number of people gathered in front of him, this situation was also to his liking, the more people there were, the more convenient it was to blend in.

And when Dong Ping went ashore, he found that the situation was wrong, because he saw that at the intersection of the mountain, a middle-aged man in yellow was standing, checking the identities of the people who entered the island one by one.

Dong Ping couldn't help pinching the gold leaf in his hand, and he said in his heart, this person doesn't look like a gold leaf can be discarded. After thinking about it, Dong Ping turned back to Leng Piaopiao and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go to the front to see the situation." ”

"Be careful. ”

Dong Ping responded casually and got into the crowd. As soon as Dong Ping entered, he heard someone laughing and said: "You said that this is also interesting, why are all such white scholars coming to be water bandits now, and they are as virtuous as our Mr. Liu!"

"Hey, what's the difference between being an official and being a bandit? Isn't it just a murder with a mouth, a murder with a hand! But don't let Mr. Liu hear what you said just now, that thing is very small-bellied and chicken-gutted!"

Dong Ping knew that the two were talking about himself, but he didn't pay much attention. He simply swapped the turtle he was carrying with the congratulatory gift he was carrying in the hand of the man who came to him, and then he touched some silver and withdrew from the crowd. As soon as Dong Ping went out, he took Leng Piaopiao's hand and said, "Hurry up and don't hurry, let's go, let's go up first." Immediately, the two of them relied on their own footwork, and unknowingly moved to the front of the crowd.

At this time, a team of people just went up the mountain immediately, and it was Dong Ping's turn.

As soon as Dong Ping and Leng Piaopiao walked in front of the man in yellow, the man in yellow frowned and said, "You two are very good-looking?"

Dong Ping said a little flatteringly: "This brother, you raise your hand and let the two brothers go and say hello to the Yan master." You said that the two of us have to say goodbye to the pier when we are new to the city, don't you?" With that, Dong Ping stuffed the silver ticket that he had just arrived with the gold leaf into the hand of the man in yellow.

After the man in yellow quietly handed down the silver ticket, he still had no intention of opening the way for Dong Ping. Dong Ping slandered: "It seems that this person is going to eat black today." ”

Sure enough, the man in yellow immediately said coldly: "Today, we are in charge of the house, we are not allowed to let the living enter the island, you want to worship the dock, wait for him to talk about it later." But I also know your thoughts, but let me tell you, our Yan family does not have the habit of taking in down-and-out scholars. ”
