The Bandit’s Strategy - Chapter 181

【Chapter 181-The Little Shark Picked Up】Bad things will never happen

The surface of the sea at night seemed to be soaked with ink, and it was infinitely pitch black. There are no stars or moons in the sky, only waves hitting the beach, bringing echoes.

The Chu Army’s supply warship was docking at the dock quietly, preparing for the dawn. When the sky was about to become clear, two dark shadows approached the stern of the boat silently, their figures like lynxes, they disappeared only in time.

The cargo warehouse of this ship was very large. According to Xiao Lingzi’s previous statement, the two quickly found a wooden barrel for storing fresh water, which was more than enough to hide from an adult man.

“Looking at the posture of replenishing grains and oils, there should be a lot of people in the Bel-Air.” Zhao Yue said, “all behave carefully.”

Zhou Mubai nodded, and parted with him and hid in the bucket. The eastern morning sun gradually rose, and the boatman took the anchor and set sail away from the shore, heading towards the misty Bel-Sha Bay.

There is no light in the lowest level of the cabin, only counting the time by intuition. About seven or eight hours later, the ship finally reached the shore with a “clam”. A leader among the guards stepped forward and asked loudly: “Why is it a full day late than the agreed date?”

“Don’t mention it, I don’t know what I hit in the sea, and I almost sank.” The owner jumped down, “Fortunately, nothing happened, and it didn’t take too long.”

“It’s not too early, let’s unload the goods tomorrow, brothers are also tired.” There is another person.

The noise outside gradually subsided, Zhao Yue and Zhou Mubai waited for the opportunity to leave the cabin, and there was no one around. Only the intertwined old trees reflected hideous shadows under the raging torches.

“The lights are in the distance. There should be many houses, and they should be as large as a town.” Zhou Mubai said, “The sentry and watchtowers are all available, and it seems that it has become the climate.”

“Perhaps Chu Heng is thinking that if he loses the battle, he can still have a way out here.” Zhao Yue said, “There are at least fifty warships in the dock, and even three artillery pieces. In addition to the heavy fog around here, if the war really starts, It’s enough for the emperor to have a headache for a while.”

“I can’t control whether the emperor has a headache or not, but since it’s here, it’s not justified not to give Chu Heng a gift.” Zhou Mubai smiled, “Let’s go, first go and find out where the Yaoren is. I haven’t seen it before. .”

The entire island is very large, and military patrols pass by from time to time, but there are not many agencies. Both of them are veterans of wandering the rivers and lakes, and soon following the clues, they found a large sparkling pool.

Rao had seen a lot of big scenes, and when they saw the situation inside, the two were also a little shocked. On the four sides of the pool, there are nearly a hundred teenagers lying on their stomachs, all sleeping with their eyes closed, their hair draped over naked shoulders, shaking lightly with the water, and looking down, it is a silver-blue fish. tail.

“Really there are sharks?” Zhou Mubai took a breath.

“It’s close at hand, it’s hard to believe it or not.” Zhao Yue said, “I don’t know what method Chu Heng used to find so many sharks.”

“Could it be that he raised a male and a female?” Zhou Mubai guessed.

“Wait.” Zhao Yue frowned slightly.

“What’s the matter?” Zhou Mubai followed his gaze and saw that a shark in the pool was not asleep, struggling slightly, as if he was extremely uncomfortable. After a while, the fish tail actually slowly fell off, revealing two legs.

“This…” Zhou Mubai and Zhao Yue looked at each other. Before they could speak, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

Perhaps seeing the light of the torch, the little shark also became anxious, and hurriedly pulled the tail of the fish and wanted to put it back in again, but the more anxious he got out of the chaos, he tried his best to get only half of it, and saw that the group of officers and soldiers was about to walk in. Zhou Mubai was just thinking about finding a way, but Zhao Yue had already flew out, covered the mouth of the little shark, took it out of the pool, and returned steadily.

Zhou Mubai was amazed in his heart and worked lightly.

The little shark was so frightened that he desperately opened his eyes to look at him.

Zhao Yue tapped his dumb acupuncture point and made a silent gesture.

The little shark nodded obediently, covered his mouth with his little hand, curled up without moving.

The officers and soldiers checked around the pool, but didn’t notice that one person was missing. They were all sleeping honestly, so they led the team elsewhere. When the footsteps were far away, Zhao Yue took the little shark and left the pool temporarily with Zhou Mubai.

Behind the island is a large area of ​​wilderness, and you can see that it is usually off the beaten track at a glance. Zhao Yue took off his robe and surrounded him for the little shark, lest he catch a cold. The fish tail has been taken off, and Zhou Mubai is holding it in his hand, “I don’t know what kind of material it is. It looks like fish skin, but it is much lighter and tougher than fish skin.”

The little shark secretly moved his legs. Zhao Yue looked through the moonlight and saw that he was a little distorted, and his tone became softer: “What is your name and how old are you?”

“My name is Xiaoliuzi, and I am eight years old.” Xiaoyuren’s voice was a bit dry and dumb, and there was no normal child’s milky milk, as if his throat had been injured.

“You are also called Xiao Liuzi.” Zhou Mubai smiled and touched him, “It’s a coincidence, we also know a Xiao Liuzi.”

“Are you here to save people?” Xiao Liuzi asked.

Zhao Yue nodded: “Where are you from and why are you here?”

“My family is on Conch Island.” Xiao Liuzi said, “Uncle is going to take me out to sea, but I disappeared behind me. All the bad guys on board.”

“What about the others? Are they all caught here by bad guys just like you?” Zhao Yue asked again.

“I don’t know.” Xiao Liuzi shook his head, “None of them can speak.”

Zhao Yue frowned, first tied the children and teenagers all medicine dumb, then tied his legs and put on fishtails, relying on these brutal methods to train the so-called shark man, Chu Heng really died 10,000 times is not enough.

Zhou Mubai said, “Maybe Master Ye Gu can cure it.”

Zhao Yue nodded, and said to Xiao Liuzi: “Apart from that pool, is there any other place that also closes people like you?”

“Yes, next to a big pagoda.” Xiao Liuzi said, “There are so many more.”

“Desperate.” Zhou Mubai gritted his teeth.

“After daybreak, I will go to find out.” Zhao Yue said, “Brother Zhou will stay and take care of him.”

Zhou Mubai nodded, and carefully checked the injury for Xiao Liuzi. The leg bones are a bit deformed, but fortunately they are not very old, so they should be able to grow back slowly in the future. The ropes at the ankles are a bit familiar, similar to the corpses on the beach of Haicai Island that day.

It’s also a big little thing. Zhou Mubai sighed and patted his head lightly.

In Da Kun City, Wen Liunian glanced at Ye Jin’s absence, and hurryed to say to Chu Yuan, “Southwest King is not bald.”

Chu Yuan’s expression stiffened, “I know it naturally.”

“That’s good.” Master Wen was obviously relieved.

“It’s not in vain to eat so many elbows.” Chu Yuan smiled and shook his head, “I also know that I will find a chance to clarify for him.”

“Weichen just discusses the matter.” Wen Liunian was very honest.

“Never mind, don’t mention him, let’s talk about Da Zhao’s house.” Chu Yuan said, “When will you come back?”

“Perhaps just a few days, maybe it will be a while, maybe.” Wen Liunian was a little frustrated, “I knew this before, so I won’t tell him about Beisha Bay.” It’s fine now. Guan ran over without seeing him.

Chu Yuan shook his head: “Faces are wrinkled together.”

I haven’t seen it for more than a year. Master Wen’s mouth flattened and he had just married when they separated.

Chu Yuan watched with joy, and just planned to ask the kitchen to make some snacks for him, but Father Sixi reported outside that it was Prince Chu who had come.

“It won’t stop for a moment.” Chu Yuan shook his head, “Xuan.”

When Chu Heng entered the study room, he didn’t expect Wen Liunian to be there, and he couldn’t help secretly saying bad luck. He really didn’t want to provoke the celebrities who were pretending to be confused, talking with guns and sticks, and acting extremely realistically. I can’t hide from it, I can see it everywhere.

“See the prince.” Wen Liunian’s etiquette is very comprehensive.

“The prince came here in a hurry, but for frontline warfare?” Chu Yuan asked.

“Exactly.” Chu Heng said, “Now that the holy driver is here, my Da Chu soldiers are very morale. If we can take the opportunity to launch an offensive, we will surely wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.”

“What does Wen Aiqing think?” Chu Yuan asked, turning his head.

“It would be good if you could do your best.” Wen Liunian said, “But now Duan Baiyue occupies the city behind closed doors, and there are people in the city as hostages. Even if the son of the world leads the army himself, it will be too long to attack. I’m afraid It’s easy to say, but not easy to do.”

“Previously, the army of Chu Kingdom hadn’t arrived. Only relying on the East China Sea garrison would naturally not be able to force the attack.” Chu Heng said, “But now it is different from the past. There is an emperor in the army, plus the Shadow Guards, and it is impossible to break through the city gates. difficult.”

“My Shadow Guard?” The corner of Chu Yuan’s mouth raised. This army is a vanguard taught by Shen Qianfeng himself, all of them are martial arts high-powered, and they are outstanding in their light work, and they have made a lot of martial arts.

“As long as we can wait for an opportunity to invade the city and open the gates, my great Chu soldiers will be able to invade in one fell swoop.” Chu Heng said, “The strength of the two sides is very different. At that time, Baiyue will not be able to fly with wings.”

“It sounds feasible.” Chu Yuan said, “but all of these shadow guards are leaders in the army, and I want them to be foolproof in this trip.”

“Yes.” Chu Heng nodded, “If the emperor agrees, the follow-up plan can be implemented only if it is meticulous and thorough.”

After Chu Heng left, Chu Yuan said, “It looks like he wants to start the war as soon as possible.”

“If you have done too many bad things, naturally you dare not let the emperor stay too much.” Wen Liunian said, “Otherwise, if the deeds are revealed, it is estimated that everything is the crime of beheading.”

“Guess Aiqing, what’s next for him?” Chu Yuan said.

“Naturally, I went to the Southwest King.” Wen Liunian didn’t hesitate for a moment–you don’t need to think about it, but also guess.

Chu Yuan smiled and poured a cup of tea on his own: “Then wait for Duan Baiyue’s news.”

In the Wangying tent in the southwest, Lao Li, who was on fire, was a little nervous recently, because somehow, he always felt that he would bump into the eyes of the king from time to time, making people feel straightforward.

Didn’t do anything wrong… Old Li bothered to think about it a lot, but didn’t find a reason to explain it.

Duan Baiyue stared at his head for a long time, then turned and left without saying a word.

Lao Li scratched his bald head, almost puzzled.

“Prince King.” Duan Nian entered the big account, “If you have a guest, please see me.”

“Who?” Duan Baiyue asked.

“I haven’t reported my name.” Duan Nian submitted a letter, “only this.”

Duan Baiyue took a look, then smiled: “Call in, you really are a distinguished guest.”

I thought it would take at least more than a month, but now it seems that the other party is more anxious than I thought, and he took the initiative to find the door so soon.

The little pot gurgled out the aroma, and Wen Liunian passed the kitchen, craned his neck and looked in.

“This adult can’t drink it.” Ye Jin refused.

“Why?” Wen Liunian continued to look.

“Students can’t drink.” Ye Jin said.

Wen Liunian wondered: “Can this be divided?”

“Naturally.” Ye Jin pressed the lid and wouldn’t open it.

Wen Liunian had to reluctantly leave, still wanting to drink.

“My lord.” The dark guard came to greet him, “Go to the kitchen again.”

“It just happened to be passing by.” Wen Liunian said, “Master Ye Gu seems to be making soup.”

“Yes, stewed Chinese wolfberry with pork loin and yam.” Anwei said, “For the leader Shen.”

Wen Liunian had an epiphany and had to let himself drink it.

It is indeed too nourishing.

“What’s so fragrant.” Chu Yuan also smelled it when he passed the kitchen.

Ye Jin wanted to fry her hair a little bit, so she stayed in the study and couldn’t come out on weekdays. Why did she cook the soup one after another.

“You can’t drink either!” Ye Jin was impatient.

“Why?” Chu Yuan asked.

“Because you haven’t got married yet.” What if the nourishment reaches the burning body, isn’t it just letting Duan take advantage for nothing! Ye Jin knocked on the lid of the crock pot and said, “I will cook some mung beans for you later, after eating it to reduce the fire.” It is best to be less eager.

Chu Yuan: “…”

Ye Jin carefully carried the earthen jar, and ran all the way to the bedroom to find Shen Qianfeng. Well, I was a little overworked last night and needed to make up for it.

The secret guards squatted on the roof collectively, and the leader of Shen was really blessed.

Chu Yuan smiled and shook his head, turned back to the bedroom and wanted to rest for a while, but when he pushed the door, he saw Duan Baiyue sitting at the table, pouring tea casually.

“Why are you here?” Chu Yuan frowned.

“Naturally it is for war.” Duan Baiyue answered calmly.

“How?” Chu Yuan didn’t want to circle with him.

“Chu Heng really sent someone to win me over.” Duan Baiyue rubbed her chin, “Frankly speaking, the price offered is not low.”

“So?” Chu Yuan looked at him coldly.

“There is no reason.” Duan Baiyue withdrew from the subject, “According to the previous plan, I have falsely agreed to him.”

“Okay.” Chu Yuan nodded.

“Okay?” Duan Baiyue laughed. “Only this word?”

“What else does King Southwest want?” Chu Yuan asked.

“What I want, Chu Huang naturally knows in his heart.” Duan Baiyue did not hide her gaze and purpose.

“When the words are finished, the King of Southwest can leave.” Chu Yuan’s tone was indifferent.

“I’m not willing to stay longer for a cup of tea?” Duan Baiyue sat at the table.

Chu Yuan said, “No.”

Duan Baiyue laughed dumbly. Just as she stretched out her hand to fix his hair, Chu Yuan had already taken a step back vigilantly and said loudly, “Xiao Jin!”

Duan Baiyue became stiff, and to be honest, he had a shadow over these two words.

There was silence in the courtyard. Ye Jin obviously didn’t hear it, and it was impossible to hear it. She was still in the bedroom watching Shen Qianfeng drinking soup.

Duan Baiyue said: “Even if you think it’s dangerous, you should call it a guard, not Ye Guzhu.”

“Are you afraid of the guards?” Chu Yuan said slightly,

Duan Baiyue was startled and shook her head.

“Are you afraid of Xiao Jin?” Chu Yuan asked again.

Duan Baiyue couldn’t help but stretched out her hand, wanting to touch her head.

It’s more than just fear, it’s almost impossible to avoid.

There was a smile in Chu Yuan’s eyes. Although it was only a moment, he couldn’t escape Duan Baiyue’s sight.

It’s worth it… The Southwestern King touched his chin.

I even laughed.

Before leaving, Duan Baiyue left a jar of Yunnan flower wine named Zhili.

Although the name is quite artistic, the taste is very spicy. A long time after drinking, there is only a slight sweetness back to the tip of the tongue, accompanied by a little bitterness, it does seem to be the taste of reunion after farewell.

Chu Yuan put down the wine glass, Cha Si Xi put away the remaining half of the altar.

No stew or wine, Wen Liunian sat at the door holding a stack of files

Flip through your mouth.

There is no one to talk about if you are not full.

“My lord.” The dark guard ran in suddenly.

“What happened?” Wen Liunian asked.

“Chu Mian came back from the country. The first thing he did was to find an adult. He is now outside the door.” The secret guard said, “Do you want to send him away?”

“No need.” Wen Liunian patted his clothes and stood up, “I’ll go and see.”

“But… Chu Mian…” The dark guard was still embarrassed, after all, he stole Master Wen’s trousers as soon as he came, and it was really difficult to relax his guard.

“Everyone, follow me.” Wen Liunian said, “Although this young master has a…wonderful manner, but his nature is not bad.” Compared to the wicked father and brother, it is already considered precious.

“My lord!” Chu Mian was drinking tea in the front hall, and immediately greeted him cheerfully after seeing him, “I’m back.”

“Why did the young master choose to come back at this time?” Wen Liunian was puzzled, “the war was shocked. Now Da Kun City is everywhere in danger.”

“I know, but I still want to come back.” Chu Mian said, “Father and Big Brother are busy fighting, and they don’t have time to care about me.”

“Does the prince know about the return of the young master?” Wen Liunian asked.

“Naturally knows.” Chu Mian nodded, “After a few words, it is not painful or itchy, and he said that I will not cause trouble in the future.”

“The young master listened carefully to what the prince said.” Wen Liunian said, “go back to the palace and stay at ease. Don’t run around.”

“During this period, I wrote a lot of poems and quatrains.” Chu Mian happily took out a small notebook, “I would like to ask the adults to correct me.”

“So thick?” Wen Liunian was shocked.

“This is just one book.” Chu Mian said quickly, “There are still seven or eight books in the family.”

Wen Liunian: “…”

You can’t make a pair of pairs on the street.

Although there was a war ahead, it didn’t affect Chu Mianyin’s mood of writing the poem right at all. He took Wen Liunian to chat for a full time before he was reluctant to leave, and agreed on a date for the next meeting.

Wen Liunian shook his head, everything has a degree. Although it is a good thing to love reading, but it is a bit too much to indulge in ignoring everything outside.

Ten days later, the biggest battle between the two sides finally started. The generals of the Chu army held a sharp-edged shield and stood upright under the city gate, his roar almost tearing the sky. On the city wall, Duan Baiyue’s Southwest Army, flags flying in the wind, embroidered with totems of the southwest tribes.

Wen Liunian rode on a horse, followed Shen Qianfan and stood in front of the army, always reminding himself that his back should be straight and not bend by his armor. Although he is a literati who has no power to bind a chicken, Chu Yuan deliberately wanted him to see it. These worlds, they also decreed to bring them out together.

“The sitting posture doesn’t have to be so rigid.” The dark guard couldn’t see it, and immediately said, “At this time, few people will pay attention to this, and it’s not only an adult.” As for the second literati, it is naturally Chu Mian. As soon as he heard that Wen Liunian was going to go to the battlefield in person, he also moved his mind, pestering his father and eldest brother to grind together, and then followed in.

Wen Liunian moved his waist secretly.

Really tired, far less light than golden silk soft armor.

Duan Baiyue stood on the city wall with her hand held down, looking at Chu Yuan below, she couldn’t help but recall the taste of the day, even the corners of her lips were raised.

Ye Jin clenched his fist angrily at the bottom, saying that it was indeed nasty|little! At this time, I can also look obscene|laugh, but I still find a chance to cut it cleanly.

“The King.” Duan Nian reminded in a low voice.

“To bully the less by more is not a big country.” Duan Baiyue raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

“Nothing makes trouble, it is indeed the style of a small country.” Wen Liunian said not forgiving.

Duan Baiyue looked at him funny.

Wen Liunian was not afraid to stare at him. Next month, remember to continue to give elbows to him.

“Emperor Chu doesn’t have to be in vain.” Duan Baiyue said, “I won’t go out of the city.”

“I came here all the way to the East China Sea just to be a turtle?” Wen Liunian said disdainfully.

Duan Baiyue has some itchy teeth, why does he always answer? !

“Open the city gate.” Chu Yuan finally said.

Wen Liunian followed to join in the fun: “Have you heard, open the city gate!”

Duan Baiyue raised his hand slightly, and immediately dozens of archers stood on the city wall and drew their bows to the full moon, with their arrows shining.

The dark guard quickly guarded Wen Liunian in the middle, so as not to be injured by the arrows.

“Do you think that only a few dozen people can hurt me?” Chu Yuan’s tone was cold.

“Naturally not.” Duan Baiyue smiled, “I can hurt Emperor Chu, and there is only me in the world.”

Ye Jin instantly squeezed Shen Qianfeng’s hand, took a deep breath, looked fiercely and reminded herself that she must calm down!

Chu Yuan’s complexion instantly stiffened, and he raised his hand and ordered fiercely: “Offensive!”

Hundreds of black-clothed soldiers flew into the air like flying eagles, and before the opponent’s archer had time to react, they steadily landed on the top of the wall.
