What Guan Cheng saw in front of him turned out to be the legendary ferocious tiger. Suddenly his vision went dark and his face turned pale. How could he survive this time and attack Yuan Xi's ship?
As the Lord of Youzhou, why are you here here if you don't go and stay well during the Chinese New Year?
Guan Cheng was about to cry but had no tears. He was just about to ask for mercy, but suddenly his mind was shaken. Yes, what is the other person doing at this time?
Deliberately luring his two brothers out to rob him?
As soon as he figured it out, he immediately knelt down and crawled forward two steps, kowtowing as hard as he could, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know that I am your Envoy. I have offended your Envoy, so I hope you will spare my life!"
Yuan Xi looked at Guan Cheng coldly, "Why did you and Guan Hai rob the Zhen family's caravan?"
"Who told you to do this?"
Guan Cheng kowtowed desperately, "No one ordered me to do it. It's just that the villain is audacious and thinks that the Zhen family's caravan is rich, so he has evil intentions. Please spare your life!"
Yuan Xi said, "Does Yuan Tan know about your robbery?"
"Why can you use Qingzhou Port?"
Guan Cheng's lips trembled a few times, "The villain doesn't know clearly. It's just that the villain always respects Yuan Qingzhou's subordinate officials, so he was allowed to go to sea in the port. The other villains don't know at all!"
Yuan Xi took a few steps and took out the telescope in his arms, "Have you seen this thing?"
Guan Cheng stared at the lenses on the bamboo tube, a look of confusion appeared on his face, and he shook his head.
Taishi Ci leaned close to Yuan Xi's ear and whispered: "There is no telescope found on Guan Hai."
Yuan Xi nodded slightly and took a long breath. From this point of view, regardless of whether Yuan Tan knew about what happened today, at least he still had some bottom lines in doing things.
He said: "Two ships of the Zhen family caravan disappeared some time ago."
"Where are the people?"
Guan Cheng was startled and trembling all over: "People fell into the sea accidentally, but the goods are still there, all in the Huang County port warehouse!"
"If you let me go back, I will definitely send the goods back and serve you wholeheartedly!"
Yuan Xi looked coldly, waved his hand and said: "No need."
"Kill."
Seeing Sun Li coming to drag him away, Guan Chengzhen panicked, "Envoy, envoy, in addition to this, I have hidden several shiploads of goods!"
"I will definitely hand it over. These things are worth a lot of money. What we brothers have saved over the years, make you, make you!"
Sun Li grabbed Guan Cheng to the side of the ship, stuck his head on the side of the ship, took out the ring-head knife from his waist, and placed it on Guan Cheng's neck.
Guan Cheng became frightened. He struggled and wailed: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, give me a chance!"
"I, I remember, Yuan Qingzhou once wrote a letter to my elder brother!"
"After seeing this, eldest brother asked me to deal with the Zhen family caravan!"
"What I said is true, then the letter..."
Yuan Xi said decisively: "Do it."
After hearing this, Sun Li pulled his sword and slit Guan Cheng's throat. Blood spurted out and fell into the sea.
Guan Cheng's body trembled and convulsed. Sun Li firmly held his back. After a while, Guan Cheng's body went limp and died.
Yuan Xi said calmly: "Cut off the heads of the two men to pay homage to the dead soldiers and subordinates who died in the merchant ship."
After everyone paid their respects, Yuan Xi said to Tai Shici: "Thank you for your hard work this time, brother Zi."
"The navy has trained very well. It will definitely be put to use within a year. Then it will be the time for the general to show off his power."
After hearing this, Taishi Ci smiled and said: "Today's enemy is too weak, and the killing is not satisfactory. I am waiting for the master's order at any time!"
Yuan Xi pointed to more than twenty pirate ships and said: "These troublesome generals will be brought back to the Haixi port for repair. It will be up to Ziyi and Mr. Yuanlong to decide whether they will be used as warships or merchant ships."
Taishi Ci accepted the order, pointed to the corpses on the boat and said, "What should we do with these?"
Yuan Xi pondered for a while and spoke a few words. After everyone listened, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly, thinking that in this way, the reputation of the young master as a fierce tiger would be more worthy of his name.
The soldier on the lookout at the Huangxian port saw a long row of Xuzhou army warships heading towards Guangling. When he saw the dozens of ships behind the fleet clearly, his legs went weak. This was not Guan Hai.
Did Guan take over the warships of the two leaders? Why were they following the Xuzhou army?
He had a bad premonition in his heart and quickly blew the whistle. After a while, the Baishi Qingzhou Army arrived at the dock.
After listening to the soldiers' stories, the leader frowned. What's going on?
Could it be that Guan Hai and others didn't have the foresight to offend the Xuzhou Army?
But the two envoys Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are both descendants of the Yuan family, so they shouldn't go too far, right?
While he was in shock and doubt, he saw a dilapidated warship from a distance, turning around and sailing towards Huang County Pier.
When they were still several miles away, a small boat was lowered behind the warship. Several sailors went down the rope and carried the small boat to the fleet.
But the big ship was full of sails and was speeding towards the Huangxian pier. Everyone saw something bad and ran away to avoid it. They only heard a loud bang and the big ship hit the pier hard, smashing wood and stone.
There was flying smoke and the sky was filled with smoke.
When the smoke slowly dissipated, the general saw clearly that half of the pier had been collapsed by the big ship, and he couldn't help but curse.
He shouted: "How did you sail the boat?"
"Everyone from the boat get off!"
As a result, the ship was quiet. When everyone looked up at the ship, they immediately exclaimed, and there were two heads hanging on the mast at the bow of the ship!
The general recognized it, it was the head of Guan Hai and Guan Cheng!
An ominous premonition emerged in his mind that something big had happened!
When he and his people hurriedly boarded the ship and saw the scene in front of him clearly, even though he had been in a war, he was dizzy and almost vomited.
I saw that the deck was densely packed with pirate heads, there were hundreds or thousands of them!
The news that the Qingzhou pirates were wiped out by the Xuzhou navy soon spread throughout the coastal states. When Mi Fang heard the news, she burst out laughing and said to Mi Zhen, "I knew that fierce tiger had a temper!"
"His ship was robbed and people were killed. Even though the other party was also a descendant of the Yuan family, he showed no mercy!"
"Using pirate heads to build a palace on the ship, thank him for coming up with it and doing a great job!"
Mi Zhen listened and sighed: "I don't understand the matter of killing, but from now on, the coastal trade routes will be much safer."
"Of course!" Mi Fang said happily: "This is the revenge of the Xuzhou navy for the robbery and murder of the Qingzhou pirates. I'm afraid the coast will be stable for a long time!"
"It's even possible that all Qingzhou pirates have been wiped out!"
"I heard that there were thousands of heads on that ship alone. The battle at sea was extremely dangerous, and many people fell into the sea and died. I estimate that at least two to three thousand people died in this battle!"
"I heard that the two leaders Guan Hai and Guan Cheng were also beheaded. I'm afraid that all the Qingzhou pirates were wiped out in one fell swoop!"
Mi Zhen was secretly shocked when she heard that there were so many lives lost. She bit her lip and said, "That Mr. Xian Yi is quite generous."
Mi Fang said: "It is said that he was on the ship at the time. The external reason was that he was attacked by Qingzhou pirates. When he was in danger, he was summoned to the Xuzhou Navy for reinforcements and defeated the incoming pirates."
"But this kind of statement also makes it clear that everyone present was bullied to death. Not to mention that he happened to run into the merchant ship. It was the Xuzhou Navy. How could it happen to be nearby?"
"It turns out that Yuan Tan is very hateful. He allowed pirates to rob my Mi family's caravan, and finally offended this fierce tiger. In the end, the fierce tiger gave us a bad breath. It's really happy!"
After hearing this, Mi Zhen also showed a smile on her face: "In any case, it is indeed a good thing that the trade routes are peaceful."
Mi Fang smiled and said: "You don't know, this matter also made Guan Yu feel embarrassed."
Mi Zhen wondered: "What's going on?"
Mi Fang said proudly: "Liu Yuzhou also knew about the attacks on our Mi family caravan this year, so he asked Guan Yu to train the navy to suppress the bandits."
"He has been training for more than half a year. He is arrogant every day, bossing me around, forcing me to prepare supplies and weapons. It seems that he wants to fight in a big way, but the Qingzhou Pirates are gone!"
"You don't know, when I saw his disappointed face, I almost laughed out loud!"
Mi Zhen advised: "Brother, General Guan is a general under your command. It's best to have a good relationship with him."
Mi Fang heard this and said indifferently: "You don't need to say anything, little sister, I know it well."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, I'll take my little sister to buy new year's goods!"
Mi Zhen shook her head helplessly, thinking that her second brother's actions were really disturbing.
At the Langya County mansion where Qing and Xu met, Guo Tu said to Yuan Tan: "Master Xian Yi has become more and more ruthless in his actions."
"Guan Hai Guan Cheng, I don't know if he talked nonsense before he died."
After hearing this, Yuan Tan said disdainfully: "I didn't let them attack Xian Yi. Why do they dare to bite me?"
"Even if it was really me, how dare Xian Yi say anything?"
"I have joined forces with the Zangba now and have a hundred thousand troops. Even Xianfu dare not break up with me, let alone Xianyi?"
Guo Tu said: "Having said that, Xianyi has grown too fast in the past two years, so we have to take precautions."
After hearing this, Yuan Tan looked directly at Guo Tu and said: "So you are placing dead soldiers to harm Xian Yi?"
Guo Tu smiled bitterly and said: "How dare I? I just wanted to use it to drive a wedge between the two young masters."
Yuan Tan shook his head and said, "It's not enough to go too far, but in the end, the two of them joined forces in Montenegro."
"But it doesn't matter. Xian Yi is far more ambitious than Xian Fu. He is just feeding an unfamiliar wolf."
Guo Tu sighed: "As a descendant of the Yuan family, who is willing to be inferior to others?"
After hearing this, Yuan Tan laughed and said, "That's true!"
"So in the end we will have a battle sooner or later!"
"It's more to my liking if the Qingzhou pirates are dead. Recently, their behavior has become more and more rampant. I deliberately indulged them, and I really offended Xian Yi."
"Sea routes are not our specialty. We just need to concentrate on training our troops and wait for opportunities."
Guo Tu spoke up: "But our way south is blocked by Master Xian Yi and Liu Bei."
"Xian Yi is a son of the Yuan family, and Liu Bei is the master of the Young Master. Does the Young Master want to take action against Liu Bei?"
After hearing this, Yuan Tan snorted: "Sometimes, things can be done without me doing it myself."
"As for when the critical moment comes, why do I have to go south?"
After hearing this, Guo Tu suddenly understood and bowed his head respectfully, "Young master is a great talent. He saw the key immediately. Tu will definitely do his best to help you."
Yuan Tan was very proud after hearing this. No truth is bigger than his fist. As long as he can be invincible on the battlefield, no one in the world can stop him!
