Chapter 239 The hero lives up to his youth
Chu Linguang led his men and ran towards the port. When he came over, Zhang Baofu and Xuanyuan Jinkang were already leading people to treat the wounded. He saw Zhang Long and Zhao Hu dripping with blood. There were many wounds on their bodies, as if they had been cut by a hob. The wounds were arranged neatly and the blood was flowing. Zhao Hu was seriously injured and his eyes were unfocused. He was supported by his subordinates. Many soldiers lay on stretchers wailing, and military doctors were extremely busy. "Master Chu." When everyone saw Chu Linguang coming, they all got out of the way. "Who did it?" Chu Linguang asked. There are many pirate gangs in this area, but few dare to take the initiative to attack the ships on Black Bear Island.
"They are pirates from Xiazigou." Zhang Long said. "They said that from now on, half of the points for merchant ships in this area will be given to them." Zhao Hu followed. "Take care of the injuries of the brothers first, take Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao to recuperate, and take good care of them. Don't worry, everyone, I will give you an explanation." Chu Linguang promised. After taking office, in addition to training his troops and patrolling the island and routes, he also had a preliminary understanding of the gang forces in the waters of Black Bear Island and the surrounding small countries. Xiazigou is an island close to a day’s sail from Black Bear Island. Because the island looks like a lobster standing on the sea, the route to the island can only be sailed along a trench, otherwise it is easy to encounter the underwater coral reefs, so it was named Xiazigou. There are about a thousand pirates on Xiazigou.
They are all extremely vicious people. Every time they go out to sea to rob, and encounter their merchant ships, unless they have sufficient defense, they will basically end up with the ship destroyed and everyone killed. In this area of the sea, it can be said to be infamous, and people's expressions change when they hear it. Successive island owners of Black Bear Island also attacked pirates in Xiazigou. After Liu Ziyun became the governor, he organized a fleet of 5,000 men and personally led troops to attack Xiazigou. Unfortunately, Xiazigou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are coral reefs everywhere, and ships can easily hit the bottom. You can only get close to Xiazigou by following a trench. Secondly, the waves there are rough and there are few calm times throughout the year. Often the pirates on the island are fully prepared before the ship even approaches Xiazigou, and even lay many traps in the trench. Once foreign ships enter the trench, without anyone to guide them, they will easily encounter traps and sink into the trench. In the end, even Liu Ziyun ended in failure. After Chu Linguang took office, he learned of the existence of Xiazigou. The young and energetic Chu Linguang discussed with Xuanyuan Jinkang and Eunuch Liu to eliminate the pirates in Xiazigou during his term of office. To this end, he rectified military discipline, trained his troops and horses, led the soldiers to practice marksmanship every day, and taught them how to breathe. However, it turned out that it was his personnel who were the first to be attacked by the pirates in Xiazigou.
He knew clearly that this was the pirates from Xiazigou warning him. He must respond to this matter, otherwise no one will believe that he can manage this sea area and maintain the navigation of merchant ships. "Chu Linguang, if you want to attack Xiazigou, I can be the vanguard." Xuanyuan Jinkang was holding back his anger. In the past three months, Chu Linguang had led his soldiers to practice marksmanship in the martial arts field day after day for the past three months. Instead of patrolling the sea, he led people to patrol the island. Chu Linguang could bear such days. But he couldn't hold his breath. Finally the opportunity came. "This matter needs to be considered in the long run." Chu Linguang knew there was no need to rush, so he said to Zhang Baofu: "Master Zhang, you have been stationed on Black Bear Island all year round and know a lot about the pirates on Xiazigou. I would like to hear your advice." "They are here for you. They want you not to block their way of making money. They want to force you to attack them now. If you do this, you will be fooled by them." "And if you sit still, they will only become more and more arrogant, and other pirates will treat you as a soft persimmon. By then, this sea area will become what it was before, with endless pirates to catch. In this way, you will not have any pirates in the future. It’s time to deal with the pirates on Xiazigou, and they can rob every merchant ship unscrupulously.” Zhang Baofu sighed. He is an old man and a passionate young man. When he first took office on Black Bear Island, he was as high-spirited as Chu Linguang, and he made great ambitions to wipe out all the pirates and bring peace to everyone. However, after suffering several losses, he finally Gradually he lost his fighting spirit and turned into a sluggard. Compared to the pirates in Xiazigou, Zhang Baofu cared more about Chu Linguang's thoughts at the moment. The young man in front of him has lost his fighting spirit like he did before, or he is still as tough as ever. "Master Zhang's analysis is good. If this matter is not handled well, the prestige we have finally established will collapse in an instant." "The pirates in Xiazigou want this result." Chu Linguang nodded sympathetically. "Then what do you think we should do? We can't just sit back and wait and do nothing, right?" Xuanyuan Jinkang said anxiously. "Of course we have to do it, and we have to do it in one step so that the pirates in Xiazigou will never recover." Chu Linguang said loudly. "Master Chu, we brothers on the island can't take Xiazigou at all." Zhang Baofu reminded. He was worried that Chu Linguang would be motivated and passionate and lead the entire island's soldiers to attack Xiazigou. That would be more terrifying than swallowing his anger. "I know very well that back then, the governor's five thousand soldiers and horses couldn't do anything to them, let alone us." Chu Linguang was not reckless. "Then what are your plans?" Zhou Kun asked. "Since the pirates in Xiazigou want to see our response, they will definitely send people to monitor Black Bear Island and immediately pay attention to every suspicious person on the island, especially those who have recently arrived on the island and have the characteristics of living in this sea area for a long time."
Chu Linguang ordered. "Yes!" Everyone replied, and then left with puzzled faces. Chu Linguang did not announce the plan to deal with the Xiazigou pirates. After they left, Chu Linguang found Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu lives on the island. In addition to supervising Xuanyuan Jinkang's practice of Mianrou Kung and training Xuanyuan Jinkang to calm down, he usually fishes at the beach. He said fishing is also a kind of practice. Being able to sink your mind and feel every movement under the water will be helpful to the recovery of your skills. "Father-in-law." Chu Linguang came behind him. "What are you going to do?" Eunuch Liu asked. Obviously, he already knew about the pirates of Xiazigou who attacked the two ships of Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers of Black Bear Island. "I want to go to Xiazigou in person to find out the situation there and confirm how many people are there, and then I can think of countermeasures to eradicate them." Chu Linguang said. The power of the sea of consciousness has increased, and the power of the mind has become brighter and brighter in the small ocean. Compared with before, Chu Linguang is not only able to stay calm, but also knows how to think better, and even draw inferences from one example. "Well, it's good to know yourself and your enemy. We have nothing to do at home, so I'll go with you." Eunuch Liu smiled. "This...I want you to..." Chu Lin just wanted to tell Eunuch Liu to help take care of Black Bear Island after he left. After all, the pirates in Xiazigou had dared to attack Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's ship. There was no guarantee that he would not make any bigger moves after he left. Come. "Give them ten courages and they won't dare to attack Black Bear Island. Otherwise, if one hundred thousand navy from the imperial court gather in Xiazigou, no one will survive even if there is a chasm to stop them." Eunuch Liu knew what Chu Linguang was thinking, so he interrupted. Black Bear Island is where the Qingzhou Navy is stationed. Pirates attacking the island are tantamount to rebellion. The Yuan Dynasty cannot sit idly by. "Then thank you father-in-law." Chu Linguang did not refuse anymore. Xiazigou is extraordinary. With Eunuch Liu, a strong man in the True Martial Realm, accompanying him, there will be an extra layer of security. "They will send people to monitor your whereabouts and make arrangements before leaving to make them think that you are still training soldiers on the island and have not left the island for half a step." Eunuch Liu reminded. "it is good."
Chu Linguang was also prepared to do this. He leads soldiers to practice marksmanship every day. As long as he finds someone to pretend to be him, the people on the island can hear the sounds of soldiers practicing marksmanship and see his patrol figure, and no one will think that he has left Black Bear Island. "You ran to Xiazigou with my master, and you asked me to pretend to be you. Chu Linguang, don't go too far. Just kidnap my master and let me pretend to be you." Xuanyuan Jinkang was depressed. He was not happy to learn that Chu Linguang would explore Xiazigou with Eunuch Liu. It was okay for Chu Linguang to go alone, so why should his master follow him. Who is Eunuch Liu’s apprentice? "You are the only one who knows Chu Linguang's marksmanship best in the whole Black Bear Island. Besides, you are of similar age and similar size. You play him so that your secret will not be revealed." "What's more, you are also the captain of the island. If anything happens, you can help." Eunuch Liu walked in and said. "Master, you are here to supervise my practice. Why are you always helping Chu Linguang?" After all, Xuanyuan Jinkang still felt a little uncomfortable with this matter. "If we can eradicate the pirates in Xiazigou, it will be a great achievement for you. Don't you want to leave here as soon as possible?" Eunuch Liu understood Xuanyuan Jinkang's mood and asked rhetorically. "Of course I think so. I know what to do." Xuanyuan Jinkang said helplessly. The next day, Xuanyuan Jinkang disguised himself as Chu Linguang and led the soldiers to practice marksmanship in the martial arts field. In order to prevent his secret from being exposed, the people standing in front were all his trusted followers whom he had recently trained. Chu Linguang and Eunuch Liu went out to sea under the cover of night before dawn, heading all the way to Xiazigou. Black Bear Island and Xiazigou are separated by a day's sail. The small boat that Chu Linguang and Eunuch Liu were riding in, with the help of the wind and waves, was not slow at all, and finally approached Xiazigou before dark. But he did not act rashly. After the sky became completely dark, the two of them headed towards Xiazigou. As the rumors say, there are coral reefs everywhere around Xiazigou, and large ships can easily hit the bottom. If you want to get close to Xiazigou, you can only go through the trench full of traps. Fortunately, Chu Linguang's boat was relatively small and they could easily reach Xiazigou. After the two hid the boat. Under the cover of darkness, they found the port of Xiazigou. Following the direction of the harbor ships, the two found the trench where large ships entered Xiazigou. If you want to attack Xiazigou, you must be familiar with all the conditions of this trench. Chu Linguang and Liu Eunuch dived into the trench together. In his previous life, Chu Linguang was born in a rural area. Every summer during the rice harvest season, he would go swimming in the pond with the senior children. He had already mastered diving skills. In addition to living on the island for these three months, his water skills were also improved. Secondly, he also practiced underwater breathing to perfection.
You can dive underwater and rely on the fluctuations of your spiritual consciousness to understand what's going on in the trench. As for Eunuch Liu, he also understands the nature of water, and with his True Martial Realm cultivation, he has already been able to breathe through his pores. He does not need to practice underwater breathing at all. He can hold his breath underwater for longer than any water ghost soldier at any time. The two took a dip in the trench. Chu Linguang discovered through the fluctuation of his spiritual consciousness that the traps in the trench were actually iron pillars with barbs, turning the originally spacious trench into a narrow and complicated route. If you fail to remember this route, the ship will be pierced by the iron pillar trench and quickly sink into the trench. Both of them saw several shipwrecks deep in the trench, and they thought some of them were left behind when Liu Ziyun attacked Xiazigou. After figuring out the trap, the two swam into the port and sneaked into a robbed merchant ship. The smell of blood inside was pungent, and the pirates had already emptied them of useful things. Several pirates were sleeping inside. Neither Chu Linguang nor Eunuch Liu alerted them, they quietly went ashore and walked up the steps to the mountain. Xiazigou looks like a big lobster standing on the sea. Easy to defend but difficult to attack. The pirate headquarters is built on the head of the giant lobster. The altitude is as high as more than 500 meters. There are many checkpoints along the way, and pirate patrols are often seen, and there are also various secret codes corresponding to each other. If someone fails to answer the question, it means there is a problem in that place. The strength of these people is generally around Qi Hai Xiaocheng, and Qi Hai Dacheng is a small boss. Although they were on tight guard, they were still unable to discover Chu Linguang and Eunuch Liu. Chu Linguang had the aura of protection from the Heavenly Master. Even Eunuch Liu looked at him in great surprise. If he hadn't followed him all the way, he would have thought that Chu Linguang had disappeared. And it is extremely easy for him, as a strong man in the True Martial Realm, to hide his secret from a group of pirates who are in the Qi Sea Realm. The two reached the top of the mountain easily. It’s especially lively on the mountain. Life on the island is monotonous and boring, but when a happy event finally happens, everyone can be happy for a while. The pirates in Xiazigou had just successfully attacked the patrol ships on Black Bear Island, robbed several merchant ships, killed the men, and brought back the women. Today is the time for them to celebrate their victory. They are drinking and eating meat. There was a blazing bonfire inside the stronghold, with several crosses beside it, and the caravan crewmen who were all bruised or had died long ago were tied up. The female members of the crew who fell into their hands were enduring torture at this moment. Their painful moans made the pirate hormones in Xiazigou rise. Chu Linguang knew that the world was difficult and many people were living in hell. Not everyone was like him. He met Guo Wei and with the help of his favor value, he passed the exam and obtained the status of a martial arts scholar. Most people are working hard for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Life, aging, sickness and death controlled them like a curse, but when he saw the cruel behavior of this group of pirates, Chu Linguang realized that he had imagined this world too well. There was more darkness in the world that he failed to see.
He was very good at guarding his heart. Looking at their actions now, especially when he heard the cries of several children, he almost lost control and wanted to rush out and kill. They don't deserve to be called humans at all, they are no different than animals. "The big boss is in the southeast, and his strength is not weaker than ours." "Don't look at him easily." "Easy to spot." At this time, Eunuch Liu whispered. Chu Linguang restrained his breath, relied on the cover of the Heavenly Master, and carefully looked to the southeast. He happened to see a burly man carrying two crew members on his shoulders, and walked up to a thin man with an iron fist in his right hand. In front of men. The man glanced at the beauty of the two women on the shoulders of the burly man and nodded with satisfaction. The burly man understood and immediately carried the two women to a higher position on the top of the mountain. Chu Linguang and Eunuch Liu looked at each other and realized that the two female relatives would be eaten by the big boss later, but the burly man just carried them over and put them in the big boss's room. "Father-in-law, if the two of us join forces, can we..." Chu Linguang had a bold idea. To capture the thief, capture the king first. If you can take advantage of this opportunity and kill the big boss Wu Shan Yunyu at the critical moment, then the Xiazigou bandits may be in ruins if they lose their leader. "The strength of your breath control is far better than ours. If you can successfully infiltrate, we should be very confident of killing him if we cooperate internally and externally." Eunuch Liu hesitated and said. He knew Chu Linguang's purpose and also knew that doing so was very dangerous. Once all the pirates on the island were alerted, it would not be easy to get out. But I thought that if they could kill the pirate leader tonight, maybe Chu Linguang and Xuanyuan Jinkang would be able to cut through Xiazigou and make the waters of Black Bear Island unimpeded. This would be a great achievement for the two of them. It will become easier to enter Yuanchu Mountain to practice in the future. So Eunuch Liu planned to take this risk with Chu Linguang. He did this for Xuanyuan Jinkang and himself, and it also came from his trust in Chu Linguang. He knew that although Chu Linguang's realm had not changed in the past three months, his overall strength seemed to have reached his peak level. Even in his heyday, he might not be able to withstand the lethality that explodes. Secondly, Chu Linguang's ability to restrain his aura also gave him great shock and surprise. If Chu Linguang could sneak in without being discovered by the big boss, and take action at the critical moment, and the two of them cooperated internally and externally, they might be able to kill the big boss before the pirates could react. Then leave quietly. "My father-in-law is waiting for news from me." Chu Linguang could tell that Eunuch Liu had left the decision-making power to him, and the basis for his decision was whether he had confidence in his Tianshi Dharma. His answer was simple and he asked Eunuch Liu to wait for good news. Just like that, Chu Linguang followed the burly man. Eunuch Liu looked at Chu Linguang's leaving figure, and couldn't help but look at the figures ravaged by the pirates again. Listening to the painful cry, he sighed: "He is really a hot-blooded young man." Eunuch Liu knew that Chu Linguang was taking such risks tonight because of his passion pushing him forward. Although this was reckless, it matched Chu Linguang's age.
He even hopes to see this kind of Chu Linguang appear, instead of the Chu Linguang who can remain calm in the face of danger and wealth all the time. He is willing to work with Chu Linguang like this, even if there is one more danger. (End of this chapter)
