Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Kou Xiao spent a few days on the island eating and drinking, and made friends with many people on the island. He has a bright and cheerful nature, and his temper is very open, which is very suitable for the tastes of the residents on the island.

"Good! Good fight!" A group of men, women and children shouted around the two wrestling men, with excited expressions on their faces.

"Look, that boy from the foreign race has already defeated three people, he is really amazing."

"The strength is indeed great. I heard that the barbarians in the Northland are born with great strength. Look at his head, tsk tsk, what did he eat to grow up?"

"Eat meat. I heard that they have eaten meat since they were young, and they also drink milk every day. They never touch vegetables and fruits."

"It's no wonder the Huns always want to invade the south. Where can we find so much meat for them to eat? We can eat meat once a month. It's not bad except fish."

Kou Xiao stood aside and watched the two wrestling with his arms folded. That boy Li Maosheng had long hands and feet, and he could easily overthrow people. Kou Xiao lied to the owner of Wudao that he lost to him, and it was also for this boy. I have a long face.

After he defeated five people, Kou Xiao finally saw the Wudao Master appearing nearby. He was on a high rock, sitting on a chair and watching this side, as if he was watching a performance.

Residents on the island seldom see the island owner, Kou Xiao can only see his outline with such good eyesight, and he doesn't know what he can see with his old and dim eyes so far away.

Island Master Wu also came down after seeing the excitement, and then listened to the manager report the foreign boy's record to him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "This kid has good aptitude, but it's a pity that he's a bit out of his mind."

The steward laughed in a low voice: "It's good to have the axis, and the other leader of the Lu gang is too smart. He jumped up and down in the past few days and met a lot of people."

"Lu Kui, I've heard of this person before, and he's not a particularly famous person, but he must be enthusiastic and loyal to be able to gather a group of people from all walks of life to set up an escort agency by himself."

"The island owner doesn't doubt their identities anymore?"

Island Master Wu didn't answer but instead asked: "Haven't you been monitoring them recently, is there anything unusual?"

"Is that the case? Except for Master Qin who is a little anxious, these two are very calm. They eat, drink and play every day, and are very happy."

"Haha, Qin Zuxin, it's no wonder he's not in a hurry. He has a treasure map but can't go hunting for it. Why isn't he anxious?"

"Why didn't you tell him that the treasure map was fake?"

Island Master Wu stroked his beard and shook his head: "Actually, I don't know whether the picture is true or not, but as long as he believes it is true, it doesn't matter what others say."

"Then you want to cooperate with him?"

"Let's talk about it when Yun'er comes back, I don't know how the battle is going over there."

"According to the days, it should be over soon, and the news should come back in a few days."

Island Master Wu sneered, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "My good son, he is very capable, but his mind is too big, and his ambition cannot be accommodated on a small sheltered island. He is just a frog in a well, go out Once you take a trip, you will know your own weight."

The steward bent even lower, persuading him, "Young island owner has little knowledge, you just have to teach him slowly, and you may not lose. After the turmoil a few years ago, South Vietnam is still in decline and has few troops."

The owner of Wu Island turned the beads in his hand and stared fixedly at the distant sea. In fact, he could understand Wu Yun's thoughts. His thoughts were also the thoughts of most people on the island. They wanted to go back to the shore. small.

It's strange to say that many people may never leave their hometown from birth to death, and every day is that one-third of an acre of land, but if they are allowed to live on the island for a lifetime, they will definitely go crazy.

"So what if we win? Can the court just sit back and watch? In the end, it's just a way to seek refuge at sea. Why bother?"

"This... Didn't the man in the palace promise to help you make a deal? We don't want much."

Island Master Wu showed a contemptuous smile again, "The Zhao family is still ambitious in nature, but unfortunately, I don't know if it will come true. I heard that King Shun is very capable. As long as he is given time, it is not certain who will win."

"Isn't that the reason why the guy supported us? Let's fight with King Shun, even if we can't kill him, it's fine to make things difficult for him."

Island Master Wu burst into laughter instantly, patted the steward's arm and said, "Look, you can understand the truth, but my stupid son can't understand it. I'm afraid Shelter Island will perish in his hands."

The steward didn't even dare to say, "This is also a matter of mutual benefit, and the young island owner did nothing wrong."

"Okay, don't mention him anymore, go and call that foreign boy, and I'll talk to him."

Seeing that he liked the young man very much, the steward rushed to bring him here.

Li Maosheng was shirtless and was still sweating, dripping beads of sweat, looking particularly masculine.

"Hello, Lord Wudao." Li Maosheng greeted him in broken Chinese.

"Li Sheng, what do you think of Shelter Island?" Li Sheng is Li Maosheng's alias on the island.

He looked at Island Master Wu suspiciously, and said honestly: "It's pretty good, carefree, but the sea breeze blowing every day is a bit disgusting, and I feel dizzy after looking at the sea for a long time."

"Compared to the mainland?"

"I grew up on the mainland, and I don't like the sea."

"Haha, you are honest, so are you willing to stay? If I give you endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life."

Li Maosheng was even more surprised, and said with some hesitation: "I am a slave bought by Master Qin, it doesn't matter whether I leave or stay."

Master Wudao saw that his heart was moved, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, your master has a request from me, and it's easy to ask him to give it to someone."

Li Maosheng cupped his hands, "Then I am willing, I like the peaceful days on the island." For a sold slave, such a day is indeed very beautiful.

Li Maosheng thought to himself: If he hadn't met King Shun, if he hadn't been cultivated by King Shun, maybe he would really have stayed.

"Okay, then go back and wait for the news." Just as Master Wudao was about to turn around, he suddenly asked him, "By the way, what is the relationship between Lu Kui and you?"

"So-so." Li Maosheng raised his vigilance in his heart, with an impatient expression on his face.

"Well, it's interesting for me to look at him, why can't I get along with you?"

"He's cheap." Li Maosheng replied without thinking.

Island Master Wu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. He could make up the picture in his brain with just these three words, which really fit that character.

"Well, since you can't get along, I won't recruit him."

"You can't recruit them either. His family has a big business and has an escort agency. It's impossible to stay on the island."

"Do you know his bodyguard?"

"I've been there once. Master Qin took me to discuss business." The honest man lied as if he was telling the truth, and Wudaozhu looked at people all his life and didn't see that he was lying.

Master Wu Island rolled his eyes, nodded, and asked, "The Tiger Shark Gang is very famous in South Vietnam, right? I heard it's the biggest gang."

"I haven't heard of it before, maybe it's not very famous, but I have been in South Vietnam for too short a time, so it's normal not to know."

"That's true." Island Master Wu left, and then sent someone to pass on Qin Zuxin, planning to chat with him about the treasure map. He thought, no matter whether the map is true or not, there is no harm in looking for it. .

Li Maosheng returned to the residence, Kou Xiao hadn't come back yet, several guards gathered together to play cards and drink, the life on this island is like this, busy people are very busy, idle people panic.

Not long after Kou Xiao came back, the two entered the room before talking, Li Maosheng told Kou Xiao exactly what the island master had said, and asked him: "If my subordinates stay on the island, they can help deliver news in the future. "

Kou Xiao waved his hand, "Don't, if you stay here, your prince will tear me apart."

Thinking of that one, Li Maosheng trembled all over, it was really strange, he was sure that King Shun was not interested in him, but why was he still scared to death every time he saw him?

When Li Xu was mentioned, both of them were a little silent. Kou Xiao missed him so much. After they got together, they got together less often and separated more. How can they stand this in the period of passionate love? They wish they could fly back with their wings.

Li Maosheng could barely remember what happened before he was bought by King Shun. It wasn't too long, but since he joined King Shun, he was finally a human being, not a slave who could be beaten or scolded.

Don't look at him still wearing the hat of a servant in the Shun Palace, but he is living the life of an ordinary person, and even has a bright future. It is useless for the island master to use his glory and wealth to attract him. In Li Maosheng's heart , Wealth and honor will always live freely, and live freely like a normal person.

When Qin Zuxin came back, the three talked for a while, Qin Zuxin asked anxiously: "We have been on the island for several days, General, this progress is too slow, the Kou family army can't afford to delay."

Of course Kou Xiao understands that if they spend one more day, the people outside will have to wait one more day. It is hard to say whether Jia Ping can hold Wu Yun's fleet. They are always facing the risk of being flanked by front and back.

"Your side is proceeding according to the plan. This general has made two-handed arrangements. I am not afraid that the island will become chaotic. We have visited all the places on the island these days, and the terrain is almost explored."

On the second day, Qin Zuxin was called to talk again, and when he came back with a happy face, he said as soon as the door was closed: "The owner of the island has agreed to cooperate. I have already burned the picture, general..." Before he finished speaking, There was a sudden noise outside, and the three of them were startled. Kou Xiao made a gesture to tell them to stay in the room, and ran out to have a look.

"Could it be hitting Shangdao?" Qin Zuxin asked.

Li Maosheng shook his head: "Impossible, they won't move without getting a signal, unless they are discovered."

"That's also fatal."

Not long after, Kou Xiao came back with a smile on his face, obviously not a bad thing, "The mine on the island collapsed."

"What?" The two were taken aback, and then realized that this should be the second-hand arrangement that General Kou said, but it is not easy to bring down the mine on this island.

Later, when someone with joints came to report the situation, they realized that the mine had indeed collapsed, and hundreds of miners were buried in the mountain, and the entire exit was blocked. It was not so easy to dig through.

However, in order to achieve this goal, a soldier who followed Kou Xiao to the island died. He was from Yongzhou, and his family was in the stone business. He had been dealing with stone mountains since he was a child.

That is the gold mountain on Shelter Island. Although the gold is still there after it collapsed, it will definitely take a lot of manpower and material resources to dig it up again.

In the afternoon of this day, Qin Zuxin was passed on again, and at the same time successfully presented a copy of the sea chart he hand-painted on the spot, only half of it, and handed it directly to the owner of Wudao Island.

That night, the owner of Wudao personally took people to the mine to inspect it. This is the most heavily guarded place on the entire island. All night long, they kept digging the mountain, trying to dig through the entrance of the cave. The owner of Wudao was patrolling nearby. After a while, he went back after confirming that the matter was not human-made, but in the middle of the night, he found that he had a rash on his body, which was extremely itchy, and he did not know what insects had bitten him.

The shelter island was extremely humid and hot, and there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the island. It was normal to be bitten by insects, so he didn't take it to heart, put on the plaster and continued to sleep.

In the next few days, Kou Xiao and the others didn't see Master Wudao again. Qin Zuxin even went to ask the steward, but the matter was cut off halfway through the discussion. He was in a hurry, but no matter how much the stewards bribed, they just said wait. , Lord Wudao is ill.

The island owner of Wu Island has not seen people all the year round, and he has been sick all year round, so the people on the island did not notice any abnormalities at first, but as the confidantes of the island owner of Wu Island, they knew the situation. No medicine was effective, and it became more and more serious. In the early morning of the third day, he was completely out of breath.

It wasn't until after his death that the doctors on the island discovered that the island owner of Wu Island had been poisoned, because the village failed to detect the poison at first, and they used the wrong medicine, which made his condition worse and worse .

The doctor panicked when he heard this conclusion. He didn't even dare to tell anyone the truth. The owner of the island is far away, and the island cannot be without an owner for a day.

But who will be the interim leader?Everyone thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and those big gangsters who were suppressed by the island owner in the past have become more active. They are all blood-licking characters. At this time, it is natural to compare who big fist.

There were undercurrents of high-level personnel, and there were several assassinations on the first day. No one was convinced, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie. It was better to strike first than wait for death.

There was also the manager who was in charge of the mine, a middle-aged man surnamed He, who immediately sealed off the mine after hearing the news of the island owner's death, and surrounded all the troops here, so that no one could even think about the gold mine.

The people on the island were not aware of these undercurrents at the beginning. There is a strict management system on the island, and the living areas of the people are very clearly divided. No one can cross the boundary. Even if the island owner changes, they may not know it.

Kou Xiao is playing with daggers in the house. These days they are required to stay in the house and cannot go out. At this time, no one cares about any treasures. They are small in number, and the upper-level personnel do not regard them as a threat, as long as they do not cause trouble. .

"But how can it be possible not to add to the chaos? It's not chaotic enough." Kou Xiao whispered, and then asked someone to give some instructions, and then he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

That night, the real big assassination on the island started. No one knew who the enemy was. The confidant thugs cultivated by the high-level executives had to protect themselves and allocate some to kill, which led to a serious shortage of manpower around them.

This also gave Kou's army the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes. In one night, a total of more than a dozen chief executives died. Of course, a large part of them were not killed by Kou's army.

After the death of these chief executives, the rights in their hands were divided up by the remaining few. At this time, everyone found that no one could do anything to anyone. After experiencing a big assassination, they all surrounded themselves in iron buckets and wanted to do another assassination. Absolutely impossible.

The higher-ups temporarily calmed down the storm, but at this time, they all divided the territory as quickly as possible, and the people below were completely chaotic. There were various fights and scrambles every day. They were originally a group of desperadoes. In the past, Youdao was in charge of no one Dare to be presumptuous, now that there is less restraint, one by one bloody is aroused, killing red-eyed, even ordinary people can't avoid it.

"Tell me, what would happen if Wu Yun came back at this time?" Kou Xiao asked Li Maosheng who was standing quietly beside him.

Li Maosheng replied: "Of course it is to kill Shangdao and seize control." He glanced at Kou Xiao and asked: "General, why don't our people attack the island? The island is already in chaos, and they fight day and night. Fighting, fighting broke out all the time, people are dying every day, and the people are also panicking. This is a great opportunity. If we capture the island at this time, we will make good arrangements. When the owner of Wushao comes back, it will be just Catch a turtle in a urn."

Kou Xiao nodded, and said casually: "The chaos is enough, but there has been no movement at the gold mine, and the manager actually doesn't participate in the competition, as long as he doesn't provoke him, he won't do anything. I care a little about this person."

"My subordinates have asked. He has nearly [-] troops in his hand, which is more than enough to guard a mine. Moreover, he will not seize power, and no one will take the initiative to provoke him."

"Wait another day and see. Calculating the time, it really won't be a few days. Send a message back to let them get ready."

"No." Li Maosheng backed out quietly.
