Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Chapter 196 Confrontation

"Master Qin has brought new people here this time." A steward on the island said while staring at the strange face behind Qin Zuxin.

Qin Zuxin was worried, but his face was calm, "Yes, if you run outside every day, you must have a few people around you who can protect you well. These are all good fighters."

This time when he went to the island, he only placed a few Kou Jiajun in his team, they were all newcomers who hadn't shown their faces outside much, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized.

The steward looked at the foreign boy standing behind Qin Zuxin and sighed, "This kid is really strong. I didn't expect Master Qin to dare to use a foreigner."

"Haha, why don't you dare, you don't know, the nobles like to use the slaves from the North, they are infinitely powerful, and this kid was bought with a lot of money."

It turned out to be a slave, the steward glanced contemptuously at the corner of his mouth, and then led him into the residence where guests were treated on the island.

"Master Qin is here for the first time, but he arranged for you the place where he stayed last time. The young master is not here, so you can talk to the chief steward if you have something to do." Shuangfan knew that the master Wu Shao was not on the island but It was Shuai Jun who went to attack South Vietnam.

At this juncture, Qin Zuxin dared to come, and the steward had to admire his courage.

Qin Zuxin waved back to the left and right, stuffed a purse into the steward, and said in a low voice: "Actually, there is something important to inform the island owner on my next visit. I wonder if the steward can pass it on."

"This..." The steward stuffed the purse into his pocket, and said with a look of embarrassment: "The island owner has been doing nothing for these years, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"You can ask, it's really important, and the island owner will definitely be interested."

"Then later, I'll send a message to my superiors. It's hard to say whether I can be received by the island owner."

"Thank you very much, I have a light gift here, please send it along with it." Qin Zuxin put a part of the map in a wooden box and handed it over.

When the people left, two Kou family soldiers came in and gave Qin Zuxin a wink. The latter got excited and did not expect to get in touch with General Kou so soon, which meant that he was not far away. Now, Qin Zuxin is real. No worries anymore.

After waiting on the island for two days, Qin Zuxin finally got a reply. The old island owner agreed to meet him. He went through several interrogations with the steward all the way, and almost took off his obscene pants for inspection before he sat on an artificial hanging basket. to the top.

Qin Zuxin looked up at the high mountain in front of him, and saw a majestic and spacious palace standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mists like a fairyland, he thought: the legendary overseas fairy island is nothing more than this?

He knew that only the island master Wu lived on the top of this mountain, and even the young island master was not qualified to live there. There are guards all around, and if you want to sneak up, you have to fly.

"It's really... domineering!" Qin Zuxin wanted to scold his mother in his heart: with this defensive ability, even if they succeed, they won't be able to run away, just wait for death.

The steward who led the way said proudly: "That is, no one can make trouble under the nose of the island owner. You can see the whole island from the top of the mountain."

Qin Zuxin's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if General Yekou and the others would have been spotted when they went ashore that day, but the island was calm and calm, so they probably weren't.

He was followed by two guards, one was Li Maosheng, and the other was an unknown bearded man. Qin Zuxin didn't know his name, but he was temporarily replaced by his side last night.

When they reached the top of the mountain, everyone was shocked by the luxurious and magnificent palace. From the bottom, they could only see its size. When they walked up to the front, they realized that this palace was not only big but also extraordinarily luxurious and exquisite. It might be nothing more than a royal palace.

He is really rich, the bearded man behind Qin Zuxin narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Please." The steward opened the door to let Qin Zuxin and the others go in, while he stood guard at the door. He was not qualified to enter this door.

Entering inside, the three of them were even more shocked. The pillars of the house were all covered with gold leaf, the ground was also dotted with golden patterns, and the roof was carved with complicated patterns. Everywhere was full of luxury. Going inside, the ground became The carpet is soft, colorful, rich and charming.

There are guards standing guard along the way, and beautiful maids pass by them with drinks and food.

Qin Zuxin thought: With such a life, he is really not much worse than the emperor, and he is at ease, commanding the world. The Lord of Wudao is indeed a character.

Going further inside, they came to a very empty hall, with a pearl bead curtain hanging in front of it, two unusually tall red coral trees on both sides, and the roof was inlaid with night pearls, emitting a glimmering light.

There is a person behind the bead curtain, and they all know that it must be the Lord of Wu Island, but they have never even met face to face, no wonder this person has dominated the sea for many years but not many people know him, it is really cautious.

"Master Qin is Guigeng this year?" The person inside suddenly said, and Qin Zuxin immediately returned to his senses in shock.

He cupped his hands and said: "Go back to Wu Island Master, I will be in my thirties soon, nine out of twenty, you can just call me by my name."

"Oh, that's really young and promising. You said you have something important to tell me. I don't know what it has to do with the picture you sent?"

Qin Zuxin straightened his back and recounted the stories he had recited over and over again, from the origin of the picture to the secret of the picture and its authenticity, the more excited he became, as if this treasure would soon appear in the Like in front of him.

"Why do you think of giving such a precious thing to the owner of this island? With the sea chart, you can go hunting for treasure yourself."

"You're joking. The sea is no better than land. Even if you have a sea chart, you may not be able to find the place. If anyone has the strength to find treasures in the sea, only Wudao Lord is the only one."

The island master of Wu should be very old, his voice was hoarse and deep, like a broken gong, "Brother Qin, do you know that the island is at war with Nanyue? You came from Nanyue, do you know what's going on there?"

"To be honest with the island owner, I do know something. When I went to sea, there was a stalemate at sea. Since King Shun came to Nanyue, built a navy, and built a sea-going ship, it may be hard to tell the winner."

"Who do you think will win?"

"It's... hard to say, after all, I don't know how much strength the two sides have."

"If Nanyue wins, aren't you seeking your own death by cooperating with the owner of this island? Brother Qin came to the island at this time, and his motives are doubtful."

"The island owner should be suspicious, but I think this is the best time for this matter. Nanyue has no time to worry about it. No one cares about me, a businessman's current movements. Everyone's eyes are on the war, and no one will find me going to sea. What is the real purpose of this?"

"Haha, brother Qin is really a smart man, no wonder he can grow so strong in just one year, and his future is boundless."

"Thank you, the island owner, for your praise. Opportunities and risks coexist. I feel that now is the best time."

Island Master Wu was quiet for a while. From the outside, he could see a vague figure and hear the crisp sound of the beads.

"Brother Qin is from Nanyue. Are you really not afraid that Nanyue will change hands?"

Qin Zuxin let out a piss in his heart, and thought to himself: Just relying on your small island, you want to occupy South Vietnam, what a dream!He said righteously: "South Vietnam has been in chaos since a hundred years ago, until it was included in the territory of Dayan, from the time when the Kou family was in charge of the military and government, to when the king belonged to them. They have to change their owners every so often. The South Vietnamese people don't care who is the boss at all. , as long as there is food to eat.

Besides, King Shun is the prince of Dayan, Nanyue and Dayan are incompatible, even if they are separated, it doesn't matter. "

"But I heard that this King Shun loves the people like a son, and has made many political achievements in one year. Even you are the one who has been favored by him. Brother Qin, what you have done seems to be ungrateful."

Qin Zuxin laughed sheepishly, with a ruthless smile on his face, "What the island owner said is true, but people don't kill the world for themselves. If you can find the treasure, what kind of favor is this mere favor?"

"I wonder if I can ask your two subordinates a few questions?"

Qin Zuxin was taken aback for a moment, then glanced sideways at Li Maosheng and the bearded man, not understanding what Master Wu wanted to ask, "Just ask, but they haven't been with me for long, and they don't know much about it. many."

"Then please brother Qin go down and rest for a while."

Qin Zuxin's heart beat faster, he thought it was the two who were exposed, after all, he was guilty of being a thief, but at this juncture, even if he wanted to refute, he had no choice but to be taken away obediently.

After Qin Zuxin left, the hall fell silent. The two stood with their heads down, as if they didn't care about their own safety, let alone the safety of their employer.

The bead curtain swayed, and there was the sound of a cane falling to the ground, and then a pair of shoes appeared in their eyes, a pair of cloth shoes encrusted with precious stones.

"Head up."

The two looked up, and what they saw was an old face with vicissitudes. It could be seen that he was a handsome man when he was young. His eyes were like torches, as if they could reach the bottom of people's hearts.

The bearded man asked first, "I don't know what the island owner wants to ask?"

Island Master Wu didn't answer, but instead asked, "You are not afraid of me." His tone was very certain, as if stating a fact.

"Ha, why should I be afraid of you?"

"A person like you, with such a temperament, is not at all like a businessman's guard."

Kou Xiao was startled, he had tried his best to hide himself, but he didn't expect the old man to have such a good vision, "Yeah, I'm not a guard at all."

"Then your identity is...?"

Kou Xiao cupped his hands and said arrogantly: "The leader of the Tiger Shark Gang, Lu Kui, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The Tiger Shark Gang is the largest gang in South Vietnam. It is considered a Jianghu organization. It has no contact with the government on weekdays. It has gathered a group of people from the Jianghu. They usually take on some jobs such as bodyguards and guards, and they have a good reputation.

"It turned out to be Lord Lu, who has long admired his name."

Kou Xiao knew what he wanted to ask, so he told him directly: "Master Qin hired us to escort him."

"Then he too?" Island Master Wu asked, pointing to the silent boy from another race.

Kou Xiao snorted coldly, and retorted disdainfully: "Our Tiger Shark Gang does not accept northern slaves."

Li Maosheng turned his head, glanced at him coldly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said in a very jerky Yan language: "You are defeated!"

"Huh?" Kou Xiao angrily grabbed his collar, "Don't think that you are great because you are strong. I was negligent last time. If you have the guts, hit him again."

Li Maosheng separated his fingers, patted his collar, turned his head and ignored him, his haughty appearance was exactly the same.

The owner of Wudao walked up to Li Maosheng and looked at him. This young man of the alien race was tall, with unusually handsome features, clean and straight waist. How could such a person be a slave?

"You are not like a slave. Where can I buy slaves like you? I also want to buy a few to take care of the nursing home."

Li Maosheng gave him a cold look, and didn't want to show any good looks to the island master who was feared by everyone, but he said something surprising: "If you can afford the price, I'm willing to kill him and you. "

Island Master Wu looked at these two people, and suddenly burst out laughing, almost to the point of tears. He thought, what kind of evil did Qin Zuxin do? Was it too long to get two guards for himself?

Island Master Wu was in a good mood, he hadn't seen such an interesting person for a long time, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous lunch to entertain guests from afar.

Of course he is interested in treasure maps, but he is not interested in the treasure map brought by a South Vietnamese businessman. This kind of map has been circulating in the sea, and [-]% of it is fake. How can Qin Zuxin He De get the real one? So Master Wu didn't take this matter to heart at all.

And the timing of his coming was too coincidental, Wu Dao didn't mainly want to see what tricks he was playing, and he didn't plan to meet them at all.

At this time, Wu Yun was fighting one-on-one with Jia Ping on the boat. He didn't expect Nanyue's boat to catch up with them. Although they had an advantage in the number of boats, their quality was inferior and they were directly crashed. Seeing several boats, Wu Yun knew that this battle would be impossible without a fight, and the enemy just happened to send them to his door, so there was no reason for him not to accept them.

The collision of the knife and the sword, the flames splashed.

Wu Yun didn't expect that besides Kou Xiao, Nanyue would have such a master who could rival him, and he didn't know this person, and he wasn't one of Kou Xiao's eight lieutenants.

"You're skilled, where did you come from?" Wu Yun took a breath, and said coldly, "Someone will be named."

Jia Ping is an upright son of aristocrats, from an orthodox Habayashi guard, so he doesn't like these thieves at all, "You don't deserve to know!"

"What a big tone! Since Kou Xiao is not here, I will take your sacrificial knife!"

"That's a lot of nonsense!" Jia Ping knew the gap between himself and the other party, so he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.

The South Vietnamese ship and the pirate's ship had ten end-to-end connections, and the soldiers on the ship also fought together. The shouts of killing echoed on the sea, and people fell into the water from time to time.

The battle lasted from dawn to dusk. A huge bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating the sea. Both sides were exhausted. There were countless corpses floating on the sea, which was particularly scary under the night.

Jia Ping didn't intend to fight them to the end, but he couldn't leave at this time. He looked around and saw that several ships were on fire. , indicating that the ships that can retreat should retreat first.

Although the South Vietnamese ships were large, they were very fast. Twelve ships smashed past the blocking ships, rushed out of the encirclement, and headed for the distant sea.

Wu Yun saw their intentions, so he was not willing to let go, and asked people to chase after him. He took a sip, and looked at Jia Ping with a sneer, "You are a majestic general, and you let your subordinates escape first. It's great."

Jia Ping wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "It's enough to hold you back. As for the others, I don't care."

"Sure enough, Kou Xiao must have brought someone to look for Shelter Island. With just a few of you, you would have died in vain if you went there. Shelter Island has been built for decades, and its defense is no worse than that of Minzhou."

"Then don't worry about it."

"They've been gone for more than a month. According to the speed, if Victory should have come back, but have you seen a figure now? Haha, they definitely won't be able to come back."

Jia Ping didn't care about his provocation, "Even if their entire army is wiped out, it's just the beginning. If Kou Xiao dies on Shelter Island, your Shelter Island will be razed to the ground by the imperial army."

Wu Yun's eyes became colder, and he suddenly said: "You belong to King Shun." Jia Ping's words made him suddenly realize that he suspected that Kou Xiao was pushed to death by King Shun. Privately, the hatred must be as deep as the sea.

"Shun Wang is better than him." Not only did he kill Kou Xiao effortlessly, but he also borrowed troops from the court as an excuse. If a General Kou died, the court would definitely not let Shelter Island go. This battle was not just about sheltering from the wind. Island and South Vietnam.

It can be said that Kou Xiao's life and death played a vital role in this battle. If he died, King Shun would be in a state of winning. Not sure how happy it is.

"The royal children are indeed insidious and cunning, and you can't accept it." Wu Yun even wanted to run to rescue Kou Xiao at this time. No matter how strong Kou Xiao is, he doesn't have such deep scheming, let alone such ruthless intentions.

Jia Ping didn't know that with just a few words, the other party could imagine a palace fight drama. His body was full of scars and his strength was exhausted. As long as the other party persisted for a few more rounds, he would have to jump into the sea to save himself.

"Island Master Wushao, I advise you to surrender and surrender to the prince. Isn't it just to live and work in peace and contentment on land when you captured South Vietnam? These princes can give you all, and even make you rich, so why beat you to the death."

Wu Yun dug his ears, "I heard that right, are you recruiting?"

"Yes, my lord, as long as you are willing to submit to the imperial court, the past will not be blamed."

Wu Yun became more convinced of his guess. Kou Xiao would never have such an idea. The Kou family army and the pirates are in a state of immortality.

He looked up to the sky and laughed, "Have you ever thought about how we can live in peace with the Kou family army after recruiting the pirates? Kou Xiao will go crazy, right? If that lunatic goes crazy, your lord might die."

"It's none of your business." Jia Ping said coldly.

Wu Yun mourned for Kou Xiao for a few minutes, and suddenly had a crazy idea, since they dared to recruit the pirates, they could win Kou Xiao over. Now that Nanyue has changed hands, Kou Xiao must be unwilling in his heart, let alone the other party He still wanted to kill him, if Kou Xiao knew, hehe, that would be a good scene.

Maybe they don't have to fight one by one, Nanyue himself will start to fight among himself first, and then...

"Okay, suspend the truce, this young island owner should think about it carefully." Wu Yun ordered to retreat, the two sides fought for a day, the truce was formalized, and each retreated hundreds of miles.
