One day later, Li Yi accompanied He Kegang to Pi Island on a grain boat.

Pi Island is located at the mouth of the Yalu River, separated from North Korea by just a water. It is only as far away from North Korea as crossing the Yangtze River, not very far. On the north bank is North Korea's Xuanchuan. During the Tieshan generation, as soon as they raised their troops in Nurhachi, Han people continued to appear.

Refugees and defeated soldiers fled to Pi Island, so Han and Korean people lived together on the island. Later, after Mao Wenlong used it as a base, he recruited Han people and became more and more prosperous. It was established as Dongjiang Town by the Ming Dynasty.

Pi Island is about fifteen miles long from east to west and ten miles wide from north to south. It forms a tripod with Zhangzi Island and Ludao at the mouth of the Yalu River. Its geographical location is between North Korea, Liaodong, and Denglai, Shandong. It is known as a tunnel and has a large

strategic value.

After Mao Wenlong landed on the island, he overcame obstacles, prepared equipment, gathered refugees, brought merchants, sold silk and cloth from the South, and ginseng and mink from the North, registered and collected taxes, and within a few years, Dongjiang Town was turned into a Xiongzhen.

Li Yi stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the Phi Island in the distance, but he was a little curious about the famous Mao Wenlong.

At this time, He Kegang walked out of the cabin, looked at Phi Island in the distance, and said with a smile: "This is Zizheng's first time coming to Phi Island."

Li Yi nodded and said: "Mao Wenlong runs Pi Dao and stuck a nail behind Donglu, which made Huang Taiji want to get rid of him quickly. The lower official is curious about who Mao Wenlong is."

He Kegang said with a smile: "Mao Wenlong is bold and careful, with unique vision, but he has a perverse temperament. If you meet him, you'd better be careful in your words and actions."

Li Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

When we boarded Pi Island, we saw a middle-aged general wearing mountain pattern armor coming up to him. He smiled at He Kegang and said, "Master He, it's really hard work."

He Kegang pointed to the fleet behind him and said: "Commander Mao, the supervisor has prepared 100,000 taels of military pay and two ships of food for you, and now they will be delivered directly to your door."

Mao Wenlong looked at the fleet in the distance and said with a smile: "The supervisor is generous and doesn't care about my stubbornness. I, Mao Wenlong, have taken it to heart. Someone comes and orders the fleet to dock and distribute military pay."

Mao Wenlong ordered to his men.

"Wait a minute." He Kegang stopped Mao Wenlong and said with a smile: "The commander is forgetful. We haven't reviewed the number of troops yet. If we want to pay the troops, we have to wait."

Mao Wenlong glanced at He Kegang and said with a smile: "Master He is right, there is no rush at this moment."

After speaking, he looked at Li Yi who was wearing official uniform and asked doubtfully: "Who is this?"

He Kegang patted his forehead and said: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce you when I got busy. This is the new censor Li Yi, Mr. Li."

Li Yi cupped his hands and said: "The commander-in-chief is quite impressive in running Pidao. I interrupt you rashly. Please don't take offense to the commander-in-chief."

Mao Wenlong was slightly startled when he heard that he was a censor. You must know that censors are a group of guys with bad tempers and tough tempers. They like to find faults most. Why did such a person suddenly come to Pidao? Could it be the emperor's special job?

Sent to investigate yourself?

This does not allow Mao Wenlong to be careless. You must know that although he managed Dongjiang Town in just a few years, he often exchanged letters with Huang Taiji and sold military supplies, not to mention exploiting the common people and plundering them. There is countless evidence of this.

If the censor is specifically looking for trouble, then he should be careful.

"Commander, Mr. Li is supervising the border on behalf of the emperor. This time he heard that I was coming to Pi Island, so he came with me. He didn't say hello in advance. Wouldn't the commander be surprised?" He Kegang said.

Hearing that the censor did not come to Pi Island specifically to target him, Mao Wenlong calmed down and said with a smile: "How could this happen? Mr. Li represents the emperor, and I just want the emperor to know more about the difficulties in Dongjiang Town. Now

Mr. Li is here, just in time to see if what I said is right."

Li Yidao: "I came here this time to see the style of the Dongjiang Army."

Mao Wenlong smiled when he heard this and said: "I don't want to talk here anymore. I have prepared a banquet, so let's go in for the banquet."

The group returned to Mao Wenlong's government office, and naturally there were civil and military officials from Dongjiang Town who came to accompany them. I don't know if Mao Wenlong had said hello in advance, but these officials actively toasted and talked about all kinds of compliments, and soon Li was

Yi and He Kegang were drunk.

It was already dark. Li Yi sat up from the bed and rubbed his painful head.

The candlelight flickered and the room was a little dim. Li Yi picked up the teacup on the table and found it was empty, so he had to stand up and walk outside.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, a soldier came up and asked, "Sir, are you going out at this late hour?"

Li Yi said: "There is no tea. I want to get some water."

After hearing this, the soldier immediately said: "The adult will go into the house and wait, and the young man will go to fetch water."

Li Yi said: "Don't bother. I happened to be sore from sleeping, so I took a walk."

After saying that, he lifted his legs and walked forward.

But the soldier stopped him directly and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, you'd better go inside and wait. You don't know where the kitchen is. It would be bad if you can't find it and get lost. It's better to leave it to the villain to find it."

water."

Li Yi's confused eyes suddenly opened. He took a deep look at the soldier and said, "That's okay. You can go get water."

The soldier breathed a long sigh of relief and said quickly: "Sir, wait a moment, I will be back soon."

Looking at the soldiers' backs, Li Yi turned his head and looked around. Sure enough, there were soldiers guarding the corners of the corridor. Although they seemed to be protecting themselves, on such a remote island, the significance of their surveillance was far greater than protection.

Just as he was about to step into the door, Li Yi suddenly heard the sound of a group of people moving around below the pavilion, accompanied by the sound of a woman crying.

This was in Mao Wenlong's yamen. Li Yi thought he heard it wrong, but the clear sound of a woman crying could still be clearly heard.

Li Yi looked down from the pavilion and saw a group of soldiers wearing iron armor walking in from the door. The leader was a young general. And the men behind the general were carrying a struggling woman. Just now

The crying sound was obviously made by a woman.

The group soon entered a house. Li Yi looked around and quietly walked down the attic. He saw lights on in a house and voices coming from inside.

"General, this girl is the prettiest on the east side of the island. Look at the pear blossoms in the rain. I have already found out clearly that she is still a virgin." A man's voice came from inside the house.

Li Yi walked in and heard a man's lewd laughter coming from the room, saying: "You did a good job, kid. Get out of here. I want to enjoy the long night of ecstasy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a woman crying from inside, which was more urgent than before, and was accompanied by a man's low roar. No matter how slow Li Yi was, he understood what was happening inside.

Just as he walked forward, the door opened and a soldier walked out. He was slightly startled when he saw Li Yi.

"Where did you come from, kid? Get away from me." The soldier didn't know Li Yi and yelled directly.

Li Yi did not leave, but looked at the soldiers and said: "What is going on inside?"

The soldier chuckled and said, "Why, you kid also wants to have some fun? When the general gets tired of playing, and it's my turn, I can let you kid have some meat."

The shouting in the house became louder and louder, and Li Yi walked directly into the house.

The soldier blocked his way and said doubtfully: "You don't seem to be a member of the army in the mansion."

After speaking, he pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Who are you?"

Li Yi did not answer, but said: "Get out of my way."

Seeing Li Yi's pretty face, the soldier didn't care. Instead, he sneered: "You want me to get out of the way? If you don't tell me clearly today, I will chop you up."

After saying that, he raised his saber high, as if he was about to slash.

Li Yi would not give him this chance at all. He kicked the soldier in the leg, knocked him to the ground with a right hook, and then pushed the door open with a "bang...".

The people in the room seemed to be frightened, and shouted angrily: "That one who doesn't have eyes? Get out of here."

Li Yi walked in and saw a petite and lovely woman being pinned down by a soldier, trying to do something wrong.

When the military man saw Li Yi, he realized that he didn't recognize him and was slightly startled.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers outside ran in and shouted: "General, this man came out of nowhere. He is not a personal guard of the palace."

The young military man came over, stared at Li Yi and said coldly: "Boy, grandpa, I am Kong Youde, a subordinate of the commander-in-chief. If you know what you are doing, get out of here, or I will make you look good."

Li Yi ignored him, but walked to the woman's side, put the quilt on her body, and said, "Are you okay?"

When the woman saw that someone had saved her, she immediately cried: "Sir, please save me, please save me."

Li Yi comforted: "What on earth is going on?"

The woman sobbed and told the whole story.

It turned out that she was a refugee from the east end of the island. She had recently fled from Liaodong to Pi Island with her family. She had planned to stay here temporarily. Unexpectedly, two soldiers suddenly broke into her home today and killed her.

Father, he snatched her here and wanted to do something evil.

Li Yi was furious after hearing this. It was obvious that this was a case of raping a civilian girl.

On the other side, Kong Youde was furious when he saw that Li Yi was ignoring him.

"Boy, get out of here if you are wise, don't seek death."

Li Yi turned his head and looked at Kong Youde and said: "Looking at your armor, you should be a military general of the Ming Dynasty. Now you dare to rob a civilian girl. Don't you know the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"

Kong Youde sneered and said: "The law of the Ming Dynasty, here it is the law of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Yi didn't want to argue with him, so he helped the woman and took her away first.

But Kong Youde's good deeds were ruined, how could he let them go?

Holding the waist knife, he shouted coldly: "You still want to walk out alive today, but I want to see what you are capable of and being so fearless."

After saying that, he raised his sword and came over to kill him.

Li Yi dodged the blade, looked at Kong Youde and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"

"What to do, of course I'll kill you——"

Kong Youde almost roared out these words.

Before he finished speaking, he had already jumped out and slashed at Li Yi's neck with his waist knife.

Kong Youde was very skilled, and his sword was as fast as lightning. Li Yi stepped back and then whipped him with a whip.

Blocking the whip leg, Li Yi retreated slightly. At this time, Kong Youde rushed forward with a cruel smile on his face. At this time, Li Yi was not avoiding. He clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it out.

Kong Youde's smile froze on his face, and Li Yi's fist hit him directly in the chest, knocking him to the ground and sliding him a foot away.
