Li Bin stood on the observation deck, looked at the sea in front of him, and asked the brother next to him: "Look over there, did someone send a flare?"
The people nearby looked over, and when they saw the fire in the sky, they said: "Quickly inform the general, there should be an accident at sea."
Jiang Wanchen rushed over after hearing the news, and urgently summoned nearby fishing boats. He hired fishermen with heavy rewards to take them out to sea, and then rushed to the place where the accident occurred with more than 500 soldiers.
"Did anyone go to sea today?" Jiang Wanchen asked.
"Miss Lu went to the island." Li Bin said, "My subordinates saw her go there with their own eyes. She just went there not long ago."
"Based on the location of the flare, it seems that something happened to Miss Lu and the others."
The fishermen were extremely anxious when they heard that something had happened to Miss Lu's family.
"General, get on the boat quickly, we will rush over immediately."
"When we were young, the sea was not calm. In addition to the tsunami that was about to swallow people, there were also some sea bandits who were rampant on the sea, but we haven't heard of them for many years. Could it be that these people have appeared again? General Jiang
, Those sea robbers are particularly cruel, Miss Lu doesn’t have a few people with her, so she is no match for those people, let’s go quickly!”
Jiang Wanchen was also anxious, but it took time to organize his men. Fortunately, he was strict in managing the army, so it only took a short time for everyone to form a team, and the fishing boat took them quickly to the place where the accident happened.
Not long after, they saw a dozen large ships besieging a merchant ship, and the merchant ship had the unique mark of "Dream Sailing Shipping" on it. It was obviously a merchant ship of the Lu family.
"Boatman, rush over and knock over their boat."
"Hey, if it were in the past, I wouldn't have dared to go head-to-head with a new ship like that with this broken ship, but it's different now. My ship has been modified by Mrs. Lu and is enough to deal with this rude dog."
The other fishing boats were all led by Jiang Wanchen's fishing boat. Seeing that they were getting closer, the other fishing boats were getting closer and closer.
"Brothers, these bitches who came out of nowhere dare to bully the Lu family, let's fight them." The old man's loud voice came with a trumpet special effect, and everyone on the other fishing boats heard it.
Since Mu Siyu appeared, the economy of the entire Sanlin City has been boosted. In addition, she is particularly good to the fishermen and teaches them how to make these seafood into specialty products and sell them, which makes their lives much easier.
For the safety of the fishermen, the shipbuilders of "Dream Sailing" renovated the fishing boats for the fishermen free of charge and reinforced and upgraded their fishing boats. Several people escaped death because of this reinforcement.
"Miss..." Ding Xiang pointed to the fleet, "My servant saw General Jiang, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wang, Uncle Yang and others..."
Lu Zhiyun said: "My mother said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. People are like this water. If you are gentle to it, it will reward you with rain, dew and sweet springs. If you are harsh to it, it will retaliate against you in the cold winter ice cave."
"
"General Jiang is really brave." Ding Xiang said, "This must be their first time fighting on the water, right? You see when they threw out the reins, they didn't hesitate at all, they just climbed onto the other side's boat and started fighting."
Lu Zhiyun has very good eyesight. Even if Ding Xiang doesn't explain, she still sees Jiang Wanchen's every move.
He is indeed a brave young general. Among the younger generation of military generals, he can be regarded as a rising star. This can be regarded as not insulting the strict teachings of his father, the Minister of War.
"Miss, be careful..." the boatman shouted.
Lu Zhiyun turned around and saw a thief sneaking onto their boat without anyone noticing what he was doing. He saw him rushing towards Lu Zhiyun with a sharp dagger in his hand.
Ding Xiang heard the sound and ran over quickly.
But that person was already very close to Lu Zhiyun.
"Miss..." Ding Xiang looked at Lu Zhiyun anxiously.
Lu Zhiyun watched calmly as he rushed toward her. Just when he was about to touch her, the former kicked her legs neatly.
Bang! The big thief flew out and fell directly into the sea.
Everyone: "..."
The old boatman said: "Miss Lu, you are hiding so much!"
"It's funny." Lu Zhiyun smiled, "I was scared too, it's just instinctive."
Ding Xiang checked Lu Zhiyun's body and made sure she was not scratched by the dagger, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"This slave shouldn't be so far away from the lady."
"It's okay." Lu Zhiyun said, "I'm not that squeamish. Besides, I still have some hidden weapons on my body, as you know."
After Jiang Wanchen appeared with his soldiers, the thieves tried their best to retreat. However, the fishing boat team led by Jiang Wanchen surrounded them, just like they surrounded Lu Zhiyun just now.
This is called 'feng shui takes turns'. In other words, this is 'it's not that I won't retaliate, but the time has not yet come'. Now the time has come, and these people have kicked the iron plate.
Jiang Wanchen took the lead and killed all the gangsters. In the end, there were originally more than a hundred gangsters, but only a dozen were left. These dozen people were too injured to get up, otherwise they would not be able to survive.
.
"Brother Jiang." Lu Zhiyun walked towards Jiang Wanchen, "Are you not injured?"
Jiang Wanchen is very embarrassed now.
If possible, he didn't want Lu Zhiyun to see him now, because he smelled of blood and had no image at all.
However, he was also worried about Lu Zhiyun's situation, so the first thing he did after stabilizing the situation was to make sure she was safe. Seeing that she was not injured or frightened, he felt relieved.
"I'm not injured, this is other people's blood." Jiang Wanchen said, "You go back first, I will take care of it here."
"Brother Jiang, there must be someone on the 'Emerald Island' over there." Lu Zhiyun gave an overview of the situation just now, "Lu Ye is very skilled, but he sent out a dangerous signal, indicating that those people are very troublesome. I suspect that the people on the ship are very difficult.
The gangsters are just one wave, and the other wave is more difficult to deal with on that island."
"I will take people to rescue them immediately." Jiang Wanchen said, "The most important thing now is your safety. You go back first. When I rescue people, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Okay." Lu Zhiyun also knew that she could not help him by staying, but would distract him, so she cooperated with his arrangements very much.
Jiang Wanchen took his men to rescue the people on the island.
The fishermen were unwilling to go back first and followed them.
Don't underestimate these fishermen. They fish all year round and face all kinds of wind and waves on the sea. Their bodies are better than most soldiers, and even a little effort can help a lot.
Mu Siyu heard that something had happened and rushed to the beach, just in time to see Lu Zhiyun getting off the boat.
"What's going on?" Mu Siyu asked.
"Suddenly some gangsters appeared and were against us. Lu Ye was trapped on that island. Let me leave first. I don't know whether he is alive or dead now. General Jiang led people to rescue him. I hope it's too late."
"It will be okay. We have seen Jiang Wanchen's strength." Mu Siyu said, "Besides, Lu Ye was trained by your Uncle Xia. He is not a fool. If he can't beat him, why don't he hide and delay it?
?”
Lu Zhiyun thought the same way, so when she saw the danger signal, she did not go to the island to kill someone, but honestly left first, thinking that it would be more meaningful to find someone to help Lu Ye than to send someone to his door to seek death.
"Have you met those gangsters? Is it a local accent?"
"The accent sounds like a local one, but also a little weird."
"I'm afraid it's just a disguise! Did you find anything?"
"I think the leader of the gang wanted to kill me. He looked at me very hard, and even though he said dirty words, there was only killing intent in his eyes and nothing else."
"It's coming for you, no, it should be coming for our family." Mu Siyu said, "General Jiang will probably leave us alive. Then we will know which god or Buddha wants to kill us."
The mother and daughter were waiting on the shore.
About an hour later, a fleet finally came over.
"It's a fishing boat."
"It seems that we need to seize the time to build more warships." Mu Siyu said, "This will be worthy of our brave soldiers."
"I just saw them fighting at sea with my own eyes. In order to jump on the gangsters' boats and catch the gangsters, they used a rope to hook the other side's boat, but the other side would resist and remove the ropes. Many of the soldiers died.
Entering the sea, and their bodies swimming in the sea are very flexible, like fish in the sea. It can be seen that General Jiang's recent training is effective, and the soldiers have made great progress."
"There are many unknown dangers in the sea. You have been at the beach for so long, but have you ever seen a man-eating shark?"
"No."
"That's your luck. Sharks come out easily when they smell blood. So many people died today, and there is a strong smell of blood in the sea. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid our soldiers will also be in danger. Fortunately, General Jiang should
Considering this reason, we brought them back in time."
"Then our island...isn't it true that we can't keep up with the work lately?"
"Don't rush now. Human life is the most important thing. Don't risk everyone's lives."
The fleet docked. The soldiers who had won the first battle helped their injured comrades get off the ship.
Mu Siyu's side had already made arrangements. As soon as the soldiers landed, a medical team came over to bandage their wounds.
"General Jiang, how are you doing?"
"Lu Ye is still alive. Five of the people he brought to the island died, and the rest were slightly injured. As for the craftsmen on the island..."
Jiang Wanchen didn't say any more, but it was not difficult to see the result from his expression.
"General Jiang, who are those gangsters? Did you ask anything?"
"I haven't asked yet. Don't worry, madam. I will tell you when I find out the clues."
Mu Siyu watched the soldiers escort the remaining gangsters ashore.
Her eyes stayed on the gangster's feet.
"Mother..." Lu Zhiyun said, "The shoes worn by those gangsters seem to be popular styles in the capital."
"That's right." Mu Siyu said, "General Jiang, you first examine the origins of these people. If you are willing to tell them, that's it. If you don't want to tell them, there is no need to keep them alive. These people kill people like crazy and are not good people.
No need to pity them."
"Don't worry, madam."
These people have the aura of being specially trained, and they are definitely not just gangsters. If they are really gangsters, they don't smell like gangsters at all, but instead have the aura of dead soldiers. It's really strange.
The craftsmen on Emerald Island were killed. As their employer, Mu Siyu must be responsible for them. Faced with so many ordinary people who have lost their loved ones, all Mu Siyu can do is to compensate them as much as possible. If only he could work at home
Yes, she would let him come over to work and earn a good monthly income. If there was no one at home who could work, she would give them a large sum of money, which would be enough for them to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Of course, money is never everything, and it cannot solve the pain of losing their loved ones. However, people cannot be resurrected, so what she can do is compensate them and make their lives easier in the future.
After this incident, many craftsmen were unwilling to take over the work of building the island. Therefore, Mu Siyu had no choice but to call carpenters from the capital to help her, and then hired some masons who were not afraid of death at a high price.
"Madam..." Jiang came to visit in the evening.
Mu Siyu was about to go out. When she heard that Jiang Wanchen was coming, she postponed her departure.
"General Jiang is a busy man. He came to see me today. Did those gangsters recruit him?"
"Those people are very tough and won't fight no matter how hard they hit them. Several people committed suicide today by taking poison."
"Take poison?" Mu Siyu was surprised, "If they wanted to die, they would have taken poison from the beginning, and they would not have taken poison at this time. Are you sure it was suicide, not homicide?"
"No one else has seen them."
"General Jiang, is it possible that you have one of their spies around you?" Mu Siyu said, "Master Lin Zi, there are all kinds of birds. With so many subordinates around you, it is normal for one or two to be bribed by someone."
"I will investigate this matter again." Jiang Wanchen said, "Although they didn't recruit, they didn't gain anything at all. I found out from some clues they exposed that they did come from the capital. Their purpose
It seems that it is not you, madam, but the eldest lady of the Lu family."
"My daughter?" Mu Siyu was surprised, "That girl is just a little girl who lives in peace with the world. She just helps me take care of my business recently. How did she become a thorn in other people's side? What if she was dealing with my daughter?
, then there will be fewer people to doubt. Who would do such a cruel thing to a little girl? In order to deal with her, such a big drama was staged, unless the person killed my daughter and did not want others to know that she was assassinated.
, but to make others think that she was killed by bandits at sea. Such a timid plan cannot be the work of a man, I am afraid that the person who wants to deal with my daughter is a woman."
"Ma'am, you already have someone you are suspicious of, right?"
"General Jiang is so smart, he must have found out a long time ago, right?" Mu Siyu said, "Then I believe General Jiang, I will leave this matter to you. In addition, your people were injured in order to save my daughter, and their opinion
I am fully responsible for the medical expenses and nursing care expenses.”
"Thank you, Madam." Jiang Wanchen stood up, "Since Madam has left it to me, I will make my own decision."
Lu Zhiyun came in from outside: "Brother Jiang, are you Princess Xuan?"
