Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

"It's not good, young island master, the South Vietnamese fleet was spotted three hundred miles away, and it's coming this way." The soldier in charge of breaking the rear came to report urgently.

Wu Yun didn't care about cursing anymore, so he asked people to assemble a team and go back to the island first.

At this time, he still doesn't know that the shelter island has changed owners, and he has made enough traps and is waiting for them to come to his door.

Wu Yun told the boat not to go too fast, even if they were overtaken by the Nanyue soldiers, it would be fine. Now that their number has increased, why should they be afraid of the Nanyue Navy?

Oh, I still have to be afraid, after all, they have long-range equipment and bow and arrow boats, which they can't handle for the time being.

When the boat traveled a hundred miles away from the sheltered island, Wu Yun suddenly ordered the boat to stop, and stood at the bow of the boat frowning, looking at the distant island.

It's too far away, only a small dot can be seen here, but Wu Yun has a very bad feeling, the closer he is to his home, the more obvious this feeling is, he pulls a subordinate to ask: "Do you think there may be a small spot on the island?" What happened?"

"What does Young Island Master mean?"

"We haven't encountered Kou Xiao's fleet all this way, where do you think they are?"

"Maybe they didn't find this place at all. It's hard to tell the direction at sea. He hasn't been here before. It's normal to get lost." The subordinate felt that was the case while talking, and comforted Wu Yun and said: "You also listen to them. Now, the island has not been attacked, which means that the Kou family army did not come at all, otherwise where could they hide?"

"Go get someone to ask again." Wu Yun walked up and down the deck restlessly, looking at the sky for a while, and the sea for a while, feeling restless.

Soon, two people came. They thought that the island master Wu Shao was going to punish them, and they were frightened.

Wu Yun frowned and asked: "During my absence, have any strangers appeared on the island?"

The two shook their heads in unison, thinking: This is not the first time Master Qin has come here, so he is not considered a stranger.

"Really? Think carefully, no matter who came to the island in any capacity, as long as you haven't seen it before."

"Back to Young Island Master, if you really want to say that the first time you came to the island, there are only a few guards brought by Master Qin, but the old Island Master has also asked about their identities, and there is no problem."

"Qin Zuxin? That South Vietnamese businessman?" Wu Yun raised his voice and asked.

"It's him."

"Why did you let him go to the island? The two sides are at war, what is he doing here?" Wu Yun absolutely did not believe that anyone would come to discuss business at this time.

"We don't know exactly what it is, but the old island owner met them when he was there and treated them very politely. After the island owner passed away, the island became chaotic, but several senior managers did not drive them away."

"Quick, go back quickly, there must be something wrong with Qin Zuxin, or something wrong with the people he brought. At this time, how can the Nanyue people come to Shelter Island for other things, it is definitely an excuse!" Wu Yun can't listen to the two Nanyue people now. In other words, absolutely every Nanyue person is an enemy, and the little favor he had for Qin Zuxin before has also dissipated.

The fleet hurried to the sheltered island, and when it was about to dock, Wu Yun ordered to stop the ship, and sent two small boats with 20 people to let them go to the island to check the situation first, and immediately send a signal to inform them if there is any problem, and if there is no problem, go to the observation tower Light a beacon to inform them.

Those 20 people disappeared on the island very quickly. They walked extremely carefully, and they didn't find anything abnormal when they walked all the way to the place where they usually trained. Except for the silence, it was as quiet as death, as if there was no one on the island.

But this is also understandable. All the soldiers on the island have been sent out, and there will indeed be no one here.

They discussed it, and then divided into two groups and ran in different directions. It didn't take long before they met islanders. They grabbed people from time to time to ask questions, but these islanders didn't know much, only that the island owner passed away. The big stewards began to fight for power and killed people. When they were asked if there was an enemy invasion, they all shook their heads.

"Could it be true that he didn't come? Maybe the young island master is overthinking."

"No matter what, it's always right to be cautious. Let's go and ask a few more people." After a while, the two teams gathered at the agreed place, and the two sides exchanged results, all showing a comfortable smile.

"It seems that Kou's army really didn't come, haha, this is their first time going to sea, it's no wonder they can find their way."

"Let's go, report to the young island master first." They went all the way to the watchtower unimpeded to light the fire, black smoke shot up into the sky, they all raised their heads, and then their necks hurt, and warm liquid sprayed out.

"Heh..." Everyone could only let out a hoarse voice before dying. Twenty corpses lay side by side on the ground. Behind them were twenty Kou family soldiers in green uniforms.

"After disposing of the corpse, it's time to welcome the island master Wu Shao to the island."

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Wu Yun saw the black smoke on the island, calculated the time, it should be enough time for them to walk around the island, so he was relieved, and took people to the island.

When everyone got off the boat, he winked, and the people around him immediately turned around and rushed towards the other group, firmly controlling them.

"Young island master, what do you mean?" the group of people exclaimed.

"Heh, let me let you go after the young master cleans up the messy things, otherwise, who knows if you will stab your knife in the back." Wu Yun did not forget the good things they did, and now that they are on the island, If we don't control them first, is there going to be another fight?

"Tie them up hand and foot and throw them here. Divide into four teams and tie up the four chief executives to see me. Those who dare to resist will be shot!" Wu Yun left 5000 people to protect himself, and the rest divided into four teams to carry out The task, he knows the situation on the island best, and now, there must not be many people around the chief executives to protect them, and it is easy to kill them.

But he didn't expect that these four teams would never come back after leaving, and even died quietly.

Originally, if Wu Yun led the rest of the people to the island, Kou Xiao would have to spend a lot of effort to defeat them, but Wu Yun committed suicide by himself. Divided into teams, where is Kou's army's opponent.

Kou Xiao himself didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he smiled until the corners of his mouth went numb, and waved his hand: "Let's go and meet that young island master."

It was too late when Wu Yun found out that something was wrong, they were surrounded by people, seeing that the number of each other was several times that of his own, Wu Yun broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked in shock at the man who walked into the encirclement, "Kou... Kou Xiao, how could you be here?" It's over, it's a trap!

Kou Xiao took a few steps forward with his gun in his hand, and looked at him with a smile, "Why can't this general be here? You may have brought someone to this general's lair. Isn't it normal for this general to reciprocate courtesy?"

Wu Yun is not stupid. What happened before and after the alliance can already guess the general situation of the matter, "So it was all your scheme, and the old island owner was also killed by you, right? Those idiots are not restrained by the old island owner, and I am not here , isn’t it crazy, why are they willing to give up such a tempting position, you are the best, and you have no plans.”

Kou Xiao still refused to admit that he had harmed the old island owner. He spread his hands and said, "The death of the old island owner has nothing to do with me. I only came to the island after they broke up. Don't wrong the good people."

"Haha, do you think I will believe it?" Wu Yun shook his head, looked at the subordinates guarding him, pointed at him with a big knife and said, "Since you have come to your door, then leave your life here. Will there be victory if there are many people?" He shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers! Kill them and avenge the old island owner!"

"Ho... ho... kill them!" It was inevitable for the two sides to fight, and Wu Yun laughed and shouted: "Kou Xiao, this time is our real fight, so what can we do by relying on those tricks? Fight to the death!"

Kou Xiao sneered and said: "Strategy of war, soldiers never tire of deceit, the ghost will fight with you one-on-one." He stretched out his arms and gestured, and the surrounded Kou's army retreated quickly, giving way to an open space, and Kou Xiao also retreated ten feet. Mi, he snapped his fingers, and in an instant, sharp arrows rained down, shooting towards the pirate in the center.

With such a short distance and such a dense rain of arrows, the opponent couldn't resist at all, and could only resist desperately. When a personal shield fell, Wu Yun couldn't avoid it. After cutting off more than a dozen arrows with a knife, he was killed by a The arrow hit the back of the heart.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared at Kou Xiao ferociously, "You..."

Kou Xiao put away his bow and arrow, looked at him coldly, and said only one sentence: "Disarm and don't kill!"

The rest of the people were terrified and had no strength to fight back. Seeing that Wu Yun had fallen, they all put down their weapons and begged for mercy.

Kou Xiao stayed on the island for a few more days, completely relieved the future troubles and left. He kept Steward Jin and another steward surnamed You, and let them continue to manage Shelter Island. At the same time, he promoted several people who were willing to stay on the island. Eyeliner, let them check each other, in addition, there are [-] armed forces to ensure that the island will not be harassed by passing pirates.

On the day Kou Xiao returned to Nanyue, all the people in the city came to greet him at the city gate. King Shun wore a grand dress and a golden crown on his horse, and went ten miles out of the city to meet his hero.

The two have been separated for two full months, how could they not want to, Li Xu specially dressed up so grandly today, not only to let the people in the city see how much he attaches importance to Kou Xiao, but also to let Kou Xiao see him dressing up calmly the way it used to be.

Women are the ones who please themselves, and men are not in vain in this regard. When he saw a horse galloping in the distance, Li Xu even straightened his long hair that was blown by the wind.

He showed a smile, and looked at the horse running closer and closer. The man on the horse was wearing silver armor, which was so dazzling in the sun. He was wearing a helmet of the same color, and the red tassel on the top of the helmet was fluttering in the wind. Getting closer, Li Xu could see his face clearly. His sword eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were like torches, his nose was straight, and his lips were slightly raised because of his smile. This is the person he fell in love with, handsome and godlike.

He flicked his long sleeves, raised his hands high, and immediately the gongs and drums blared, cheerful music and cheers greeted their hero's return.

"Woo..." The horse stopped in front of King Shun's carriage, and the young general jumped off the horse, knelt down in front of his lord, and said loudly: "My lord, the last general will not be disgraceful! The shelter island is captured!"

Li Xu got out of the car and helped him up with his own hands. The moment they clasped their palms together, the two of them scratched each other's palms at the same time. Their eyes met, and strong emotions burst out, burning their rationality.

Kou Xiao felt that he was thirsty, his throat was dry and burning, and he wanted to pounce on those two lips and suck them fiercely. Li Xu was not much better than him. He was still calm when he didn't see anyone. In front of him, he also wanted to kiss and hug.

But both of them restrained themselves, and let go of each other after their eyes intertwined for a moment, Li Xu said loudly: "General Kou is brave and invincible, he is a hero of South Vietnam!"

All the officials and people around cheered: "Heroes! Heroes..."

Lei Ming was moved to tears. He grabbed Ji Hanyu's hand and said, "Master Ji, General Kou can finally wash away his stigma and become a real hero."

Ji Hanyu patted his hand and comforted him: "General Kou has always been a hero in South Vietnam, but the people and officials are afraid of him. He was alone in the past, so he had to rely on this reputation to scare Xiaoxiao. Now that the prince is joining hands, General Kou is also No more worries."

"Yeah, all this is because of the existence of the prince. If it weren't for the prince, the Kou family army would not be able to expand to [-] in just one year, let alone build a navy, and there are hundreds of ships. Overcoming the crisis and defeating the enemy all depends on the prince's leadership."

Ji Hanyu smiled reservedly when he heard his compliments to Li Xu, he thought: If you knew the real relationship between the two of them, you probably wouldn't boast.

Li Xu raised his hand again, and the crowd stopped cheering. He said loudly: "Today, we are here to welcome the heroes back. We thank them for defending our home and country without fear of danger. We thank them for expanding the territory of South Vietnam regardless of the weather. We thank them everything."

Behind Kou Xiao, more than 6 people stood neatly. This was the first time that the Kou family army and the navy stood together, bearing the name of the Kou family army together to accept the inspection of King Shun and the people.

"Today, the king has prepared a sumptuous feast for the soldiers. There is wine and meat. Everyone can eat and drink with their stomachs open. After eating, go back to rest. Tomorrow, the statistics of military merits will be counted. All rewards will be distributed in place. There will never be a shortage. However, this king hereby assures that anyone who contributes to South Vietnam will get the rewards they deserve!"

When Kou's army heard this, they all shouted: "Wang Shun is wise!...Wang Shun is mighty!..."

Kou Xiao looked back at them, and rolled his eyes at Li Xu, meaning: You see, I led them to win the battle, but they shouted for the prince in the end, this is really a good way to buy people's hearts.

Li Xu winked at him, and said to everyone: "All the soldiers have worked hard, you are the pride of South Vietnam, I hope that in the days to come, you can always remember that you are a soldier, and you exist to protect your family and the country." Yes, pass on the order that to those who have children in the family who join the army, each household will distribute a pennant, and this king will make your family proud of you!"

Everyone was even more excited. This is a supreme honor. In the past, the children of the family only had honors when they became officials or generals. Now everyone has it, and they can still do this when they are soldiers. They feel that their waists are even stronger. straight up.

The corners of Kou Xiao's mouth twitched, and he kept his distance from Li Xu, whispering, "It's almost enough, you want to spoil them to heaven."

Li Xu replied with the same volume: "We have just experienced a victory, so we must make them happy."

The team returned to the city, and after entering the city, they were greeted by more people. On the teahouse not far from the city gate, Master Zhong was supported by his two sons, watching the team enter the city in an orderly manner, and watching the scene of the army and the people having fun together , said with emotion: "It's unbelievable. A year ago, who would have thought that when South Vietnam was so powerful, it not only repelled tens of thousands of pirates, but also occupied their islands. It is said that there are tens of thousands of islands on that island. People, this is a grand undertaking to expand the territory."

"Father, you don't object to King Shun anymore?"

"Heh, such a feat, we can't reverse it if we think about it, let's resign ourselves to fate?"

The two sons looked at each other, and one of them asked: "Father, although my descendants are not capable, they can always do something. Why don't you take the initiative to vote for the prince and accept his teachings?"

Elder Zhong glared at them, and finally waved his hand: "It's up to you, as long as you are up to yourselves, I have nothing to worry about."
