Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

When Qin Zuxin and his group left, there was no one to see them off on the island, and no one had time to pay attention to their group of South Vietnamese merchants at this moment.

It was rare for the chief executives to sit together in harmony, discussing what to do next. All the troops on the island were sent out. If they didn't win this battle, they would all die.

At night, the west side of the sheltered island was surrounded by densely packed ships. The guards on the island immediately sounded the alarm when they discovered the situation, but this did not prevent the enemy from coming ashore.

Several senior managers immediately beat their hands and feet when they received the news, "It's been tricked!"

Guanshi Jin yelled: "Don't delay here, tell the people on the island to get weapons to resist, our Shelter Island is not so easy to fight."

Several other chief executives acted quickly. At this time, no one dared to hold back, but they didn't know that the residents of several areas on the island had been instigated by others, and they were unwilling to resist the South Vietnamese soldiers.

The old island owner is dead. If he doesn't stay on the island, he will only become a victim of the strife of several major forces. He can't even live a stable life. It's better to surrender to South Vietnam, and maybe he can return to his hometown.

Kou's army did not encounter much resistance along the way, and a group of troops shuttled around the island and shouted loudly: "Surrender, don't kill!... Surrender, don't kill... Resisters die!"

In the middle of the night, several chief executives were tied up and carried into the hall. This is the palace of the old island owner. No one dared to take over the place immediately after his death, instead leaving it empty and silent.

Kou Xiao was sitting on the main seat at this time, looking at the people kneeling below, he asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to die or live?"

He didn't change his voice. Several people had touched him, and immediately looked up suspiciously, and then saw a young and handsome face, wearing a silver armor, sitting on the island owner's throne.

"You...it's you! Lu Kui!" Jin Guanshi was the first to react, logically, he was the one who had the least contact with Kou Xiao, but he was the first to recognize him.

"What? Lu Kui?... No wonder..." Sure enough, it was a trick, and everyone mourned silently.

Kou Xiao stood up, walked in front of them, said with a smile: "I am right, you are old acquaintances, come here, let them loose."

Guanshi Jin stared at his face for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, it turns out to be General Kou, who has admired him for a long time, and we are not wronged."

"It turned out to be Kou Xiao, that's impossible!" The other chief executives shouted, "How could he know the location of Shelter Island, and how could he have traveled across the ocean to come here?"

Manager Jin was terrified, and asked tentatively, "General Kou must have known about the existence of Shelter Island for a long time, right? Maybe there is your eyeliner on this island."

"It's not too early. If you don't want others to know, you have to hide. You always come out to make troubles. Who is to blame?" Kou Xiao sighed, and said: "You should have expected it on the day you wanted to make South Vietnam's idea. It will be today."

"Did you kill the old island owner?" Guanshi Jin asked suddenly.

Kou Xiao took a look at him, thinking to himself that it's a pity, this guy surnamed Jin is really smart, if they didn't intervene, he could really become the next island owner.

However, he would never admit to killing the island lord. The people on this island worshiped him very much. If he hadn't died, they would not have been surrendered so easily.

"I don't understand what you mean. I have only met the old island owner a few times, and every time there are guards, it is not easy to kill him, but if it is done by one of you, it will be much easier." Kou Xiaochao They smiled and planted a seed of doubt in them.

"General Kou, don't be joking. We don't have the guts to wait, but don't get too excited. What's the use of occupying an empty island? When the young island master returns with his troops, you still have to get out."

"Oh? Can the master of Wushao Island come back? He fought Nanyue a few times, suffered heavy losses, and rushed back all the way. Seeing the people you sent out, they will definitely think they are here to pick him up. With no defense, do you think he can win?"

As soon as he said this, several chief executives immediately glared at each other, "Kou Xiao, you have a good idea. You encouraged us to deal with the young island owner, so the reason is to transfer the guards on the island."

"Yeah, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to win. Soldiers don't tire of cheating. If you want to blame, you can only blame you for being too stupid and interested in profit. You really want to be the owner of the island."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, kill or cut if you want!"

Kou Xiao suddenly stabbed out with his gun, and the sharp tip of the gun hit the manager's chest, but it didn't go deep. He pulled out the tip of the gun, looked at the blood splattered out, and asked, "What if you choose between death and surrender?" One, which one do you choose?"

The shot was so fast and accurate that everyone was startled, and they didn't dare to provoke Kou Xiao anymore.

Guanshi Jin rolled his eyes, and immediately crawled over on his knees, bowed his head and said, "I am willing to surrender, please General Kou, please spare me!"

"Jin Rongshun! How dare you!"

Guanshi Jin glanced at them and said indifferently, "Why don't you dare, I don't want to die yet, why should I die if I can live?"

"you……"

Kou Xiao interrupted them, "Okay, this general who wants to die will help you all. Guan Jin knows the current affairs, so take him down first." With a big wave of his hand, the two Kou family soldiers left beforehand with Guan Jin in their hands. No one noticed. When the steward lowered his head, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"What about you? But you have the time to think about it and think about it." Kou Xiao strode out of the palace after speaking.

As soon as he went down the mountain, he saw Guo Fu leading troops forward, ran to him and said, "General, the mine is under control, half of the guards have been killed and half of them have been lowered."

Kou Xiao didn't trust that steward Jin, and he was more cautious about the mine, "Those who surrendered first tied their hands and feet and found a place to be imprisoned and sent to guard them. Then send people to escort them back and tell their families that the mine will continue to be excavated in the future, and the salary will be doubled, so they can rest at home."

Guo Fu memorized everything, and then asked curiously: "General, how did you get all the guards on the island to go to sea?"

Kou Xiao briefly explained what he was doing, and met Guo Fuqingpei's eyes, he instructed: "Don't think that everything will be fine once you get to the island, and don't take it lightly, but anyone who finds something strange should be arrested first."

"Understood, but general, should we take all the people on this island back as prisoners? Or all..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"We wait for the prince to make a decision. We are only responsible for attacking the island. It is the civil servants' business to deal with the aftermath."

Guo Fu felt that something was wrong, "It wasn't like this before, didn't the county guard listen to us?"

"But now the general listens to the lord." Kou Xiao smiled, sent him away, and called the rest of the lieutenants to assign tasks to them. Some were responsible for counting the number of people on the island, and some were responsible for rebuilding the defense. After the assignment was over, he went to the mine, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what this golden mountain looked like.

Kou's army has been replaced here to guard, seeing Kou Xiao salute immediately, Kou Xiao asked: "Have the miners been sent back?"

The young general in charge of guarding here said: "They have all been sent back, but they said that there are still hundreds of people trapped in the mountain.

Kou Xiao counted the time and knew that those hundreds of miners were unlikely to survive. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "Are our people still alive?"

The young general shook his head, "The subordinates didn't find any South Vietnamese people, so it's probably more ominous."

Kou Xiao sighed, "Then let them come back and continue digging, pay them, only dig for three days, and forget it if they fail." He didn't have much time to spend here.

But this is a gold mine. Even Kou Xiao, who doesn't value money, knows how important this mountain is, so he can't ignore it.

After straightening out the affairs on the island, Kou Xiao sent people out to patrol the sea. They were facing counterattacks at any time, and they had to learn about each other's news first.

After waiting like this for five days, news came from the sea that the owner of Wushao Island had returned with the remaining soldiers, but he was attacked hundreds of miles away from the shelter island. In the fierce battle, both sides are hurting, and now they are retreating, and they are temporarily in a truce.

Wu Yun felt that he was really unlucky. After finally returning to his hometown, he was blocked by his own people. He brought out elite soldiers and strong generals. They shouldn't be able to defeat the soldiers left behind on the island, but they were defeated several times in a row. After returning from a long journey to the field, they were exhausted physically and mentally, and had long since lost their fighting spirit. Most people only wanted to go back to the shelter island early and get a good sleep at home, but they didn't know that they would be attacked at the door of their homes.

"Young island master, those are indeed our people, what happened to them? Do they think we are enemies?"

Wu Yun stared at the fleet on the opposite side. That's right, it was the ship on the island, and it was flying the flag of the sheltered island, and the people were definitely his own, but why did the good people attack them?

The only thing he could think of was that Kou Xiao had captured Shelter Island, and then this group of people turned against each other, which led to today's attack.

"Damn Kou Xiao!" He said bitterly, and then ordered his subordinates: "Find some good swimmers to swim to see if there are South Vietnamese soldiers on board, if there are, we can only avoid them. "

"Young island master, do you mean that South Vietnam has captured our island? Isn't this...too fast?"

Wu Yun smiled wryly. He originally thought that Nanyue was vulnerable, but the facts told him that he was too arrogant, so nothing was impossible. "I don't know what happened to the old island owner?"

"The old island owner will definitely be lucky, and it is impossible for the islanders not to resist. They must have been careless for a while and were taken advantage of by Nanyue."

Wu Yun was not so optimistic. If the old island owner was still there, Shelter Island would not be captured so easily. Kou Xiao didn't come with an army of [-]. How could he succeed in such a short time?

But the old island owner is still in good health. Although he always said that he is getting old and doesn't care about things anymore, the managers and people on the island have always followed his lead. Unless the island owner is gone, they can't turn against him.

"Young island master, what should we do?"

"Go and see first."

"Yes."

After resting in place overnight, the young island master's people came back early the next morning, and said angrily, "Young island master, those boats are all people from the island, and there are no South Vietnamese soldiers."

"What? This is impossible?" Wu Yun was shocked, "Why did they attack their own people? Don't they recognize who we are?"

The man wiped his face, and said tremblingly: "No, young master, they... They were sent by several senior officials, saying that you killed the master because the master did not agree with you to send troops When you attacked South Vietnam, you held grudges and were ambitious, which gave the island owner a slow poison, and now that the island owner has passed away, they think you are the murderer."

Wu Yun smashed a table one by one, and roared: "What kind of brains are they? How could I harm my adoptive father?"

"Yeah, someone on the island must have taken advantage of your absence and the old island owner's health to rebel."

For a moment, Wu Yun didn't know whether it was his own rebellion or Kou Xiao's tricks. There is nothing more aggrieved than one's own people beating one's own people.

"Go, find someone to talk to the person on the other side, and find out what they mean. It is pure nonsense to say that the island owner killed the island owner. When it was time to attack South Vietnam, the adoptive father finally agreed. "

The subordinate said hesitantly: "But at the beginning, the island owner was indeed against it, and everyone on the island knew it. In the end, the island owner agreed, but they may not know it."

"It doesn't matter, let's find out who sent them here first. The island owner is gone. Who is in charge of the island now? Have they met the Kou family army? Ask them clearly."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

Wu Yun walked back and forth on the deck irritably. He looked at his subordinates who were sitting in a daze, and his heart was full of anger. Before fighting against South Vietnam, no matter how pessimistic everyone was, they went forward bravely. Now when they face their own people, they really have no fighting spirit at all. .

This kind of morale is not suitable for fighting at all. Wu Yun knew that if he couldn't convince the people on the other side, he, the young island master, would cease to exist.

After a long time, the people who went to negotiate finally came back. With shocked and sad expressions on their faces, they hurriedly told Wu Yun what had happened before he could ask, "The island is in chaos, it's completely in chaos, the chief executives killed each other and died. Many people, they were notified yesterday that they would leave the island to arrest the young island owner. They said that someone discovered that your personal maid had been poisoning the island owner for a long time, and that maid had already confessed, so several big stewards gathered all over the island. against you."

"It's really ridiculous. I didn't expect that group of old people to be quite intelligent, and they knew how to plant and frame things. Regardless of how the old island owner died, you go and tell them that this young island owner must go to the island. People I didn't kill it, I will definitely find the real culprit and avenge my adoptive father, if they don't believe me, I can swear in the name of Sea God."

Without waiting for them to clarify, the other side suddenly launched an attack, and someone shouted loudly: "Avenge the island owner!...Kill that ungrateful guy!...Avenge the island owner!"

The matter has gotten out of hand, Wu Yun knew that there must be someone instigating it, otherwise, with his reputation on the island, it is absolutely impossible for everyone to shout for death.

He also made people shout: "Brothers, don't be fooled, the young island owner didn't harm the old island owner at all, there must be someone calling for the thief to inherit the island owner's position."

Seeing that the boats were about to collide with each other, Wu Yun was very angry, and he didn't want to argue anymore. He raised his weapon and shouted: "Kill them! Is this young island owner still afraid that they won't succeed?"

The own people on both sides beat their own people, and they were so red-eyed that they couldn't even tell who was their own and who was going to kill.

Shelter Island was originally a place where a group of desperadoes gathered, and these soldiers didn't have much loyalty at all, let alone who they were loyal to. They were just used to listening to the old island owner before, and now they listen to whoever gives them more benefits. Since the chief stewards on the island said they were coming to kill the young island owner, they didn't say anything, even though they knew in their hearts that this was a power struggle, but who cares, they can get money and power if they win.

This battle lasted for a day and a night, and they didn't stop until both sides were exhausted. Wu Yun's body was covered with scars, and most of the guards around him were killed or injured.

Panting heavily, he looked at the enemy who couldn't even hold a weapon steadily, and laughed loudly: "It's really ridiculous. In the past, they pretended to be grandsons in front of the old island owner, but now that the island owner is dead, they turn their faces and deny anyone. That's right, I, Wu Yun, am not worthy of your support, so if you want to kill me, come and see who dies first!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and said with a ferocious smile: "You idiots, you didn't know until your death that you were just being used by others."

Everyone glanced around and found that there were not many people who could still stand, and they were all acquaintances. Not long ago, they were brothers who were drinking and eating meat at the table. Why did they suddenly draw their swords and face each other?

After the breath dissipated, everyone felt that the fight was extremely absurd. Whether it was for revenge or something else, they couldn't tell.
