Seeing that Chi Zhongtian didn't seem to believe it, Guo Ming continued: "General Chi, there are only one or two water bandits in this area, and I have seen them all, if it is convenient for General Chi, we can go to them and ask."

"Oh, General Guo still has dealings with these bandits?" Chi Zhongtian asked with a frown.

"General Chi, don't get me wrong, the Jialing River is very large, and there are many islands in it, and some water bandits are entrenched on the islands, if you send a naval army to exterminate it, the cost is too great, and our naval army is not good at water warfare, and it is okay to escort some merchant ships to and fro, but if you want to play really, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Guo Ming's words, Chi Zhongtian also knows, some water bandits are indeed difficult to exterminate, and in many places, water bandits and local water armies have a tacit understanding, the former does not do anything out of the ordinary, and the latter will try not to be embarrassed, and strive to have nothing to do with each other.

However, if this time the water bandits really did it, then these water bandits can't stay.

"Okay, if it's convenient for General Guo, can you take me to meet those bandits?"

As soon as Chi Zhongtian's voice fell, Guo Ming immediately replied: "Of course it's convenient, the biggest water bandit in Shili in this area is Jishui Village in Jialing Jiangxi, let's go there first." ”

"Okay, without further ado, how about leaving right away?" Chi Zhongtian asked.

"Okay, let's arrange it!"

Guo Ming's efficiency is still good, at least, it's good now.

After a stick of incense, a small warship sailed out of the naval camp, and Chi Zhongtian and Guo Ming, as well as dozens of soldiers of the naval army, were on board at this moment.

After about half an hour, the waterway in front of me was a little rough and full of weeds, and according to Guo Ming, there were already many small islands here, so it was very different from the usual scene on the river.

After a little further sailing, the boat stopped beside a small island, which was not very large as far as the eye could see, and the island was too wooded to be seen clearly.

"General Chi, this island is Jishui Village. Guo Ming pointed to the front and said.

At this time, a large number of people suddenly appeared on a rugged path on the island, hurrying towards here.

"Who is my word, it turns out that General Guo is here!" shouted a big man in a blue cotton robe and a beard.

Guo Ming smiled, and then whispered quickly: "This person is the owner of Jishui Village, Chu Lu." ”

"Haha, the owner of the village, Guo came this time and disturbed him. After Guo Ming and Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, they said hello to Chu Lu loudly.

"General Guo, I don't know what you are doing here today?"

As early as after the boat that Chi Zhongtian was sitting on entered the line of sight of the spies in Jishui Village, Chu Lu got the news, and he was also shocked at first, because he also knew that Jialing River had an accident a few days ago, and it was said that many officers and soldiers had died.

It is precisely because of the instability in his heart that after hearing about it, he personally brought people here, and even let out the rumors to make the water bandits under him fully prepared.

It's just that now when he sees it, his heart is a little more stable, because there are obviously not too many soldiers on this ship, and Chu Lu is mixed on the water all year round, just by looking at how deep the draft of your boat is, you can judge the people you are carrying above, of course, this Guo Ming can also see it.

Guo Ming stood on the boat, first asked people to turn the boat sideways, so that the bow of the boat faced north and the stern faced south, to show that there was no malice, and then said: "The owner of the village doesn't have to worry, it was Guo who came to ask the owner of the village for help." ”

As soon as Chu Lu saw that Guo Ming had made the ship into such a position, his heart was settled, and he knew that he was not here to make trouble, so his tone was much more relaxed.

"Haha, General Guo is really joking, the dignified general of the navy, how could he ask me for help. Chu Lu said with a smile.

"Master of the village, I don't know if I can ask Guo to go to the island for a while?"

"Come on, set up the pedal, and invite General Guo to the island!" With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen bandits carried the pedals and set up between the boat and the island.

Because the boat should not be too close to the shallow water, it is necessary to have a pedal, otherwise it will be very indecent to wet your shoes and trouser legs even if you walk over.

Guo Ming was the first to come down, followed by Chi Zhongtian, and Zuihou was the soldier of the dozens of naval battalions.

"General Guo, Chu Mou has been very honest during this time, and he didn't dare to make trouble for General Guo, I guess General Guo came this time, he must have asked about the events of the previous days. ”

As soon as Guo Ming came to Chu Lu's face, Chu Lu asked with a smile.

Guo Ming smiled, then pointed to Chi Zhongtian behind him and said: "I will introduce you to the lord of the village, this is the great general of the Shenwu Dragon Yangwei in the court, the powerful minister of the saint, the general of the Tianchi in the pond!"

Hearing Guo Ming's introduction, Chu Lu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

General, Holy Minister, these titles are indeed a bit shocking to Chu Lu.

"Jishui Village, I've seen General Chi!" said with a smile.

"Have you heard of Leader Ouyang?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked as he laughed.

The smile on Chu Lu's face immediately stopped abruptly, and he asked in a puzzled tone, "Leader Ouyang, which Leader Ouyang?"

"Seven Star Fang, Ouyang Hexuan. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Ah, you're talking about Ouyang Leader of Seven Star Fang! Of course I've heard of it, whoever eats on the water hasn't heard of Ouyang Chief!" Chu Lu hurriedly replied.

"In this way, the master of the village is also very familiar with the people and things in the martial arts?" Chi Zhongtian asked.

"That is, I don't dare to boast about this, although Chu is eating on the water, but he is also a person in the rivers and lakes, there is a bit of feng shui grass on the rivers and lakes, and I can also know a little bit about it. Chu Lu said.

"Cold Leaf Valley, Chi Zhongtian, do you know?" Chi Zhongtian then asked.

After Chi Zhongtian said this, Chu Lu was just about to speak, and suddenly his mind was shocked, and he suddenly remembered that when Guo Ming introduced him just now, he seemed to say that this person was Chi Zhongtian.

"Chi is the owner of the pond who captured Lu Zuiliu in Qiyun Mountain and forced back the lonely arrogant clouds?" asked Chu Lu as he squinted.

"Complimented, exactly below. Chi Zhongtian said lightly.
