Guzhou Island is a large island outside Jiuzhou. It hangs alone in the South China Sea. It is covered with rugged rocks. It has no farmland and does not produce any metal or jade. Therefore, the previous dynasties did not develop it, and even

Some have not included it in the layout.

In the previous dynasty, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was tyrannical, and some wealthy merchants who couldn't bear it killed corrupt officials and bullied the nobles. They had no way out and hid on Guzhou Island.

Gradually, the number of people on Guzhou Island increased, and it also developed. Many wealthy businessmen and masters appeared on it. At this time, when the Meng Yuan court was about to take control, it could no longer control it.

During this dynasty, the situation on Guzhou Island changed. Many pirates and criminals from the imperial court occupied the island. They also built a city on the island and arrogantly named it the Outlaw City.

Of course, there are also ordinary fishermen on the island. Some of these fishermen are people who have settled down from the seaside, and some are descendants of the wealthy people who settled on the island before.

These people did not want to go against the New Han Dynasty, so they called the city Overseas City.

Their choice was correct. After Emperor Taizu unified Jiuzhou, he expanded into the surrounding areas. How could a place like Guzhou Island escape the conquest of the New Han Dynasty army?

However, Guzhou Island is indeed a suitable place to go. It is far away from the mainland, and there is a rapid undercurrent in the ocean between it and the mainland, so it is difficult for ordinary naval forces to attack it from the mainland.

thing.

After Emperor Taizu discovered this, he changed his tactics. He restrained the imperial navy, and then found a group of master monks to come to Guzhou Island to deal with these arrogant lawless gangsters.

In addition, Taizu raised troops in Caoye Jianghu. He was a man who understood the mentality of Jianghu people very well. After he decided to deal with the lawless city, he spread the word in Jiuzhou, saying that Guzhou Island was isolated overseas and became a small river and lake of its own, and it was inconvenient for the imperial court to administer it.

, wants to negotiate with the main forces on Guzhou Island.

Then who is qualified to negotiate with the court?

The overlord of Guzhou Island!

Just because of this edict issued by the imperial court, there is some chaos inside Guzhou Island. There are many sects here, and everyone is in peace with each other at most. In fact, everyone in the mainland is wary of each other and refuses to admit defeat.

Finally, the imperial edict appeared, and Emperor Taizu also sent a group of martial arts masters into the city to stir up trouble and provoke everywhere. This completely messed up the city outside the law, and from then on the city fell into a melee.

Gradually, the strength of the major forces in the lawless city was greatly reduced. The imperial court took the opportunity to nominally conquer this huge island, named it Dinghaidao, and established the Dinghaidao Yamen.

But in fact, the imperial court had no interest in Guzhou Island. If the various forces on the island were not too arrogant at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, neither Emperor Taizu nor Emperor Taishou would bother to pay attention to them.

Later, all the forces in the city understood this and became low-key. The imperial court did not strengthen the jurisdiction and management of the island. It only established the Dinghaidao Yamen on it to maintain a certain face.

As the national power of the New Han Dynasty gradually grew stronger, the residents of Guzhou Island did not dare to provoke the imperial court, so the Dinghai Dao Yamen had a fairly high status on the island.

As a result, now Wang Qilin learned that the entire Yamen was massacred, which made him feel bad.

Who is so bold!

You must know that no matter whether it is the Western Region or the Northern Great Wall, the New Han Dynasty had enemies, and even if these people captured the Jiuzhou City, they would not dare to massacre the officials inside!

Now there are people in Overseas City who dare to massacre all the Dinghaidao Yamen. This is going to lead to the sinking of the entire Guzhou Island!

Although the group no longer wanted to serve the imperial court, they still regarded themselves as officials of the Han Dynasty.

So after hearing what Lao Diao said about this, everyone's expressions changed.

Lao Diao misunderstood their meaning and sighed: "You also know how serious this is, right? We on the island also know it, so now the island is sealed, outsiders can't enter, and people inside are not allowed to leave.

"

The fisherman next to him said: "Brothers, it is best not to go to the island in the near future. Before the truth about the Yamen Massacre is found, our Guzhou Island is very dangerous. Once the court knows about this, I am afraid the court will destroy the island at all costs.

son."

Wang Qilin asked: "Hasn't the identity of the murderer been found on the island yet?"

The fishermen shook their heads.

"How to check? I have no clue at all."

"The Dinghai Dao Yamen usually has its doors tightly closed, and the officials don't deal with us fishermen very much. This time, we only knew something happened inside after they made a fuss about it."

"Yes, when I found out that someone died in the Yamen, the stench spread out. Everyone inside was dead. I don't know how many days ago they were dead."

"I've been dead for at least ten days!"

Listening to the fishermen's chatter, Wang Qilin was shocked: "It took ten days for you to die before you discovered it? If nothing else, it took ten days for the people in the yamen to die before the smell came out?"

The fishermen nodded, and Lao Diao said: "If you enter the overseas city, you will know why this is happening."

Wang Qilin originally planned to go to Overseas City, but this time he heard that all the Dinghai Dao Yamen were slaughtered, so he naturally had to go and take a look.

The Guanfeng Guards are on the same page as the yamen in various places. They have not officially resigned from their posts, and now they all still have the tokens of Tingtian Supervisor on them.

The fishing fleet returned, followed closely by the Daofa boat.

Lao Diao was very polite to everyone. He cooked fish soup and grilled fish jerky that day and sent them to the boat.

Everyone at Guanfengwei was a little worried about this: this group of fishermen was too enthusiastic and friendly.

According to their experience, being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft.

So while they greeted the fishermen with smiles and said hello to me, they were sharpening their knives secretly.

If these overseas fishermen want to intercept and kill them, they will really be hungry rats licking cat eggs and delivering fast food to their doorsteps!

In the end, they sharpened their knives and they really came in handy, but they were not for fishermen.

The fleet had only been traveling for a day when the fishermen on a large fishing boat howled sadly: "Japanese pirates! Japanese pirates! Japanese pirates!"

Two ships appear in the depths of the ocean.

They have a very strange shape, with very hard lines and a bit boxy shape. The part above the water is shaped like a huge wooden box, like a large coffin.

In particular, they are painted black all over, which makes them look more like coffins.

The fear shown by the fishermen after seeing them was like a night traveler encountering a coffin. The mighty fleet immediately changed its formation and gathered together to cover each other.

Xie Toad took one look and said: "Wu Liang Tian Zun is a pirate of the Japanese pirates. These are two large Anzhai ships."

"What is Anzhai Dachuan?" Wang Qilin asked.

Xie Toad said: "A kind of ship favored by Japanese noble lords. It is lengthened, widened, and thickened on the basis of ordinary ships to make it stronger. The hull is like a box, with windows on it to simulate city walls and arrow stacks. Each window

They are all warriors."

While they were talking, a boat came towards Daofa's boat, with Lao Diao standing on the bow.

There was still some distance before Lao Diao suddenly knelt on the ground. He saluted everyone and shouted: "Heroes, please help!"

Wang Qilin was surprised and asked: "How do you see that we all have cultivation skills?"

Lao Diao said calmly: "Everyone who dares to go to Guzhou Island and enter the Overseas City is definitely a well-educated person. How can ordinary people dare to enter the Overseas City? For outsiders, it is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones!

"

"Besides, you all know the emperor. The emperor is a great hero. Anyone who can call him Big Yellow Hammer must also be a hero."

"The most important thing is," he glanced at everyone, "Look at you people, there are monks, Taoist priests, scholars, little girls and a tiger. Such people must have great potential when walking together.

Highly cultivated."

Pirate ships are very fast, and they run from east to west with the help of waves and currents, which makes them faster. At first, the boats are only the size of a shoe, and soon they will become the size of a coffin.

At this time, sails were hung on the two ships. The sails were huge and the wind on the sea was strong, so when the sails were released, they were filled up. So with the help of the wind, the ship speed accelerated again.

There are portraits on both sails, and the portraits are the same:

A giant snake with many heads!

The sea breeze ruffled the sails, and the giant snake seemed to come alive. Its body kept twisting and its many heads kept shaking.

When someone saw this portrait, they cried out in despair: "I forgot to worship the Sea Dragon King when I went out! It's the Eight-Qi Bodhisattva!"

When Shen Yi heard this, he became angry. He shouted sharply: "Amitabha! How dare a mere evil god falsely claim to be a great Bodhisattva? This monk can't bear it, and he must be killed!"

Wang Qilin has gone through hundreds of battles and still acts calmly when facing the menacing Japanese pirates.

He smiled and asked Lao Diao: "You treat us with wine and food when you see us, do you just want us to be your bodyguards?"

Lao Diao hurriedly said: "Please forgive me, hero..."

Wang Qilin smiled and said: "Then you should have said it earlier. It is natural for us to eat your food, drink your wine, and escort you. Why do you need to be so secretive and evasive that we misunderstand that you want to rob us?"

The old eagle said in fear: "Don't dare, heroes, we are afraid that if we tell the truth you will ask us for money, but where do we have the money?"

After the two ships approached, several more small boats appeared.

These small boats are much smaller than the large Anzha boats. They were hiding close behind the big boats so that the fishermen did not find any trace of them.

Xie Toad also recognized the identity of the small boat and said: "This is called a small morning boat. It is also a battleship favored by Japanese pirate nobles. They are small and flexible and are good at fighting close to big ships."

Several ships, large and small, attacked quickly with murderous intent, and there were many ferocious-looking pirates on board.

These people were all short but stocky men, all with unkempt hair, and only a tattered loincloth on their bodies. Their upper bodies were naked and covered with tattoos with weird lines. They were like a group of lunatics, waving swords and guns and howling in the boat.

The momentum is very strong and the posture is very ferocious!

The fishermen were also tough, and they also took up knives, guns and harpoons to guard the bow, stern and sides of the boat.

But the momentum is completely incomparable.

Chen Weiyue looked at the pirates with contempt and said, "Barbarians! All dead?"

He wanted to ask if he should go and kill all the people himself.

Just as Wang Qilin was about to give the order, Shen Yi pushed Chen Weiyue away and said, "Afei, please step back, and the monk will take the lead!"
