Xun Yu had actually thought about this idea for a long time, but it only appeared in his mind for a moment before he rejected it because he knew that the risks of doing so far outweighed the benefits.
"My subordinates have learned a lesson."
After hearing Xun Yu's explanation, the guard realized that his thoughts were indeed a bit too naive and too one-sided.
But Xun Yu thought more profoundly, and it was a better choice for the current situation.
Xun Yu rushed to Xingang at full speed, and it didn't take long before he arrived near Xingang.
When they arrived near Xingang, the guard captain also took the initiative to stop the entire team.
"You guys go check the situation ahead and see if there are other people ambushing around here. If someone is ambushing around here, please inform us in advance."
"promise!"
After arriving near Xingang, the guard captain took the initiative to find some people and asked them to check if there was anyone ambushing near the entrance.
After all, if someone is ambushing here and cannot be discovered, it will be very dangerous. Not long after, the people who just went to investigate the situation came back.
"Sir, there are no ambushes from any forces around, and there are obvious signs of battle near the port ahead. There are many dead bodies on the ground."
"Most of them are dressed as our people. They must be Lord Zhou Yu's bodyguards. Some of them look like the bandits the captain mentioned. It's just that they have been there for a long time. This is the weapon they use.
"
The guard responsible for checking the situation directly handed the weapon he picked up from the scene of the battle to the guard captain.
After seeing this weapon, the guard captain had an idea.
"Sir, I have never seen the shape of this weapon, but judging from its workmanship, it should be a standard weapon. Presumably, this group of bandits should be well-trained, and they are not just a bunch of rabble like other bandits.
, we still have to be more careful."
After he saw it, he reported his opinion to Xun Yu. Originally, he thought they were just a group of ordinary bandits who happened to capture Zhou Yu, but now that he saw this weapon, he
Only then did I know that this group of bandits was not that simple.
"Okay, it's as I expected. These bandits still have some strength. If this group of bandits doesn't have this strength, Gong Jin will probably not fall into their trap. Let's go and wait for these bandits near the port.
The leader of the rogue bandits is coming."
After saying that, Xun Yu took the lead and walked towards the port. Not long after, he came to the scene of the fight.
This scene can be said to be very bloody, and the strong smell of blood can be smelled even on the beach.
And you can see a lot of dead bodies on the ground. This new-style ship was originally loaded with cargo during the day, but now all the cargo has disappeared. It seems that it must have been taken over by this group of bandits.
It was taken away.
This made Xun Yu very angry. After all, these supplies were all prepared by him and Zhou Yu to take back, but they were all robbed by this group of bandits. This really made him extremely angry.
Not long after Xun Yu stood on the ship, he saw a ship in the distance slowly approaching the port, and the leader was standing on the bow.
"I guess there must be Lord Xun Yu across the street. I met Lord Xun Yu in Xia Zuotian."
"You don't have to be polite. Now that we've reached this point, let's not beat around the bush and ask you to come on board to talk about it."
Xun Yu was confident when he saw this situation. After all, Zuo Tian could come over, which meant that his strategy had been successful. Now it was time for Xun Yu to take action.
After Xun Yu saw Zuotian, he also observed this person. He saw that this person was dressed in a foreign style, and he was definitely not from the Central Plains.
And he doesn't look like a Westerner, he should be from some small countries near the Central Plains, and his temperament doesn't look like an ordinary person, he should be born into a noble family.
At the same time, Zuo Tian was also looking at Gou Yu. After all, he saw that Xun Yu didn't look like a civil servant at all.
Because he had received news before that Xun Yu was just a civil servant responsible for supervising the construction of the new city.
But now when he saw Xun Yu facing him, and there were so many dead bodies behind him, there was no fear at all on his face.
It can be seen that this Xun Yu is not a simple person, and he immediately put away his contempt.
Because in his previous opinion, the so-called officials of these great powers in the Central Plains were just some scumbags and were not worth worrying about at all.
But when he saw Xun Yu, he knew that his idea was wrong, and it was a big mistake.
"Since you invited me, I definitely can't spoil your interest."
After Zuotian said this, he ordered people to place wooden planks between the two ships. Zuotian stepped directly onto the new ship through the planks.
He is not afraid at all that Xun Yu here will do anything bad to him, after all, Zhou Yu is still in their hands.
If Xun Yu dares to take any other action against him at this moment, Zhou Yu will definitely not gain anything.
"Your Excellency is really brave and resourceful. You are not afraid that I will harm you, and you dare to come to this ship alone."
"Didn't your Excellency dare to come to meet me near the port with only these few guards? Aren't you afraid that I would ambush my subordinates here in advance and it would be detrimental to Your Excellency?"
"Haha, of course I'm scared. It's not unusual for you to do such a thing with your skills, so I ordered people to search the entire area before coming here. I only came here after I was sure everything was fine."
"Sir, you are indeed smart, but you are looking down on me too much. Since I can come here to meet with you, I will definitely not play any other tricks. My purpose is just to make money."
The two also complimented each other a lot, but Xun Yu also knew that Zuo Tian still had a certain code of conduct.
It's not like those pirates who have no lower limit. They can do anything for money, but the man in front of him is different. He has his own backbone and his own arrogance.
"Your Excellency is not weak either. You were able to capture Gong Jin. You must have certain strength. I am very familiar with Gong Jin's situation. I'm afraid it's not that simple for you to capture him."
"To be honest with you, Lord Zhou Yu is indeed difficult to deal with. I also lost a lot of my men before I captured Lord Zhou Yu. He is resting on my boat. Do you want to see him?"
"Okay, since Your Excellency has this kind intention, how can I refuse? Then please invite Gong Jin to come out and meet me."
Xun Yu deliberately mentioned Zhou Yu at this moment just to confirm whether Zhou Yu was safe, so since Zuo Tian took the initiative to say that he wanted to meet Zhou Yu, it would definitely be the best, and he would not have to find a way to confirm it himself.
