Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Chapter 215: 1 is vigorous, then fades, 3 is exhausted

Reeds are swaying and the water is clear.

During the Spring Equinox, everything sprouts and turns green.

The bandits' village had already become extremely busy. They were like ants on a hot pan, continuously sending in more people to push the small fishing boats out of the village.

Ripples appeared on the water surface, and the wooden fishing boat looked like a dead leaf in the wind. Several skinny old men stood on the boat, holding cloth packages and looking troubled.

"Son, what happened again?"

"Why is everyone in the village so anxious today? I see you guys coming and going. Is there anything I can help with? Although I am an old man, these things..."

Before he could finish his words, the burly, dark man slapped the wooden boat ferociously, causing the already fragile fishing boat to creak.

With his eyes wide open, the man cursed: "You old man, what do you know? If I tell you to leave, just leave immediately. Why are you asking all these nonsense questions?"

"I think you've lived a long time, and now you don't know how to write the word 'live' anymore, right?"

Now the bandit stronghold is in imminent danger, and the scene of the soldiers and officers suppressing the bandits during the reign of Emperor Wande is about to be repeated. How can he not be anxious!

He had not experienced it personally, but he had heard from the old men in the village that the ferocity of the officers and soldiers was different from that of the pirates, and they must not take it lightly, otherwise they would face eternal damnation... Perhaps after today, the once famous Xizhou City pirates would no longer exist.

Holding the crescent-shaped scimitar in his hand, the dark man turned around and cut the thick rope with the sharp blade in his hand. The rope immediately fell into the water. The small fishing boats floated towards the distance, pushing aside the messy reeds. The fishermen paddled the boats and transported all the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the bandit village out one by one.

The burly man didn't even look at the boat until it sailed away. He should have known that people like them would one day pay the price for the blood on their hands.

As long as the brothers can buy time for their wives, children and the elderly, their deaths will be worthwhile.

He carried the scimitar and laughed three times.

Walking towards the wine jar in the bandits' camp, many well-known bandits from Xizhou City had gathered in the hall. They had robbed imperial merchant ships, killed merchants from all over the world, and fought back and forth with the imperial regular army. It seemed that they had never been afraid of anything in their lives.

"Brother, you are finally here. This bowl of wine is for you. Today we are bloodthirsty and we are united. We don't ask to be born on the same day, but we ask to die on the same day!"

The man's long and narrow eyes were narrowed, and he was brandishing an extremely sharp dagger in his hand. There was some blood at the corner of his mouth, and he looked extremely creepy.

"Okay, brothers, today we will beat those lackeys of the imperial court until they are all looking for their teeth on the ground and don't know which way is which! Let them go back wherever they came from!"

"Let them know who is in charge of Xizhou City!"

Holding a large brown ceramic bowl in his hand, the burly man placed the edge of the bowl, which smelled strongly of alcohol, against his lips and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking a bowl of strong liquor, his face turned slightly red. The big man threw the porcelain bowl in his hand. There was a crisp sound, and the porcelain pieces broke and fell all over the floor. He stretched out his hand and let the man cut a bloody mark on it.

Scarlet blood dripped from his wrist and dripped onto the wooden board.

……

The terrain of Xizhou City is not as rugged as that of Jinzhou City. Instead, it is flat, soft and muddy land.

This place is indeed very suitable for growing fruits and raising fish.

There was a time when Zhao Changlin followed his father to the royal farm and inspected the crops of the people in Jinzhou City. He thought... if the royal farms could be developed in various regions... and this royal privilege could be half-opened up, perhaps the charismatic people among the people could increase grain production.

The effect may be minimal, but over time, you can gain... a lot.

Thinking of this, she slowed down the reins, looked down in the direction of Xia Zhiyuan, and spoke softly.

"Zhiyuan, do you know if there are any houses within a hundred miles of this place?"

"Is there an owner here?"

Hearing His Highness's question, Xia Zhiyuan, who was very thoughtful, immediately knew what His Highness was up to. She smiled and said, "To answer Your Majesty's question, there is no family here, but this place has an owner."

Hearing that there was an owner, Zhao Changlin already understood a little bit. Such fertile land was perfect for planting fruit trees, but now it was overgrown with weeds and even cattle and sheep didn't come to look for food. It seemed that the existence of the water bandits had seriously hindered the development of the suburbs of Xizhou City.

I guess the owner who bought this land thought the same thing.

“I see…”

Muttering to himself, Zhao Changlin looked into Xia Zhiyuan's eyes. She lowered her eyes in thought. Before the two of them could talk, they heard the deafening sound of killing in the distance.

A dozen huge water boats slowly appeared in the morning mist. The boats were filled with people, like inky black raindrops, holding silver crescent scimitars in their hands.

“Kill ahhhhhhhhhh!”

"Kill the shameless lackey of the court!"

The shouts were as loud as the sound of bells in a temple, shaking people's hearts. Zhao Changlin raised his eyes and took a closer look at the dozen ships. It was indeed a formidable force. With such a scale, even if the imperial navy was dispatched, it would probably take some time to take it down.

It is common to be chased and intercepted for ten days or half a month.

The terrain here is complex, with sea tributaries running through the entire water area. The shallow water area is like a maze, confusing everyone and making it difficult to get out once you walk in.

The army behind him gradually stopped. Zhao Changlin's dark eyes were not only not afraid, but also showed a hint of smile.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

No matter how powerful they are now, how embarrassed they will be later.

"Your Majesty, these bastards are really the thief crying 'stop thief'. Don't they know who the thief is?"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to go to war!"

"We must beat these bastards who have never said a word of kindness until they cry for their parents and can't find their mother!"

Nuo Zimu was the first to lose his temper. He rode out on his horse, ready to teach these ignorant pirates a lesson.

It was really unfair to say that General Sima couldn't keep his cool. After all, when Nuo Zimu went to war in the past, the enemy was at least a ferocious barbarian prince. Even if General Sima no longer had the prestige he once had, he was still as strong as ever.

Why did he deserve to be scolded by this group of pirates whose identities and origins were unknown?

"not the right time yet."

"General Sima, have you asked your men to prepare rockets and kerosene? Are they in good condition?"

"And are the catapults hidden on both sides ready?"

Zhao Changlin glared at him.
