The two of them moved more than 40 bags of salt to the boat in just one hour. They remembered that they had moved all night and had to work hard to truly feel their progress.

Before dawn, they set sail to sea.

Kou Zhongdao: "Let's try to go west from the river to the inland. If it doesn't work, then go by land!"

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "You and I are both low-key boaters, and we can't even compare to an ordinary boatman. There is no problem in the sea. Of course! This just refers to the calm and quiet situation, if you enter the river..."

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "What do you think so much? If the boat sinks on the river, we will go and catch up. It will not be too late to change to land. Don't forget that we are both experts from both water and land."

Xu Ziling put his hand on the rudder and smiled and said, "It's your turn, I'm going to go to bed."

Kou Zhong said distressedly: "If I had known to have captured a few children from the Haisha Gang and forced them to drive the boat, then I wouldn't have to suffer now."

※※※

Xu Ziling woke up by the sound of war drums. He thought that when he was on the battlefield and snatched out of the cabin, Kou Zhongzheng looked at the three ships in front of him, which were sharper and narrower than theirs, and were about meter longer, which had the upper hand in mobility. After carrying salt on their ships, they were even less opponents.

The ship is heading towards the enemy ship.

In the abundant sunshine, dozens of people stood on each ship on the other side's deck, each bent his bow and arrow, or was ready to go with a catapult, or was holding a fishing rod and other tools to lock the ship, running back and forth, with a fierce momentum.

A flag with the word "high" written on it is flying on the boat.

Xu Ziling came to Kou Zhong and frowned and said, "Who is it?"

Kou Zhong showed a bright smile and said happily: "Just listen to the sound of the drum, you will know that they are fighting spirits, but seeing their scattered actions, you will know that they are just mobs. They must be pirates who plunder everywhere, and are most suitable for being sailors."

Xu Ziling said in a lost voice: "What?"

Kou Zhong said: "I will deal with everything. Now I will hide in the cabin first, and then I will show some tricks to these thieves when they board the ship."

"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds, under the pull of the giant hook, two pirate ships came over and the thieves rushed up. Three of them rushed into the cabin, and the others looked at one pack of salt cargo placed on the deck and cabin.

Another pirate ship led the way, and for a moment the pirate seemed to have controlled the overall situation.

Three of them should be the pirates' heads, standing at the stern of the boat to direct the actions of the thieves.

The strongest man had the eyes of a copper bell, his long hair was draped over his shoulders, his beard was full of a powerful figure, and he had two short tassel guns about five feet long hanging on his back, which added to his power. It was unexpected that there were such figures among pirates.

At this time, he said "Huh": "I've been in the cabin for so long, why haven't you escorted those two kids out?"

The short and thin middle-aged man next to him showed a solemn expression and said, "Let me go and see!"

On the other side was a strong young man, who was only about an inch shorter than the big man with a hair, but was already taller than ordinary people. He had two iron rings hanging on his waist, which seemed to be a kind of Qimen weapon. He said, "I'll accompany my second brother."

The man with a hair was disheveled nodded in agreement and whispered: "It's a bit weird, be careful!"

The young man laughed and said, "We have never seen any storms in the Three Meanings of the East China Sea." After speaking, he and the short and thin man who was called the second brother entered the cabin.

When the man with his hair was watching the two disappear at the hatch, he came down to report: "Uncle! The deck piled with salt."

The man with hair was disheveled muttered: "It's so unlucky. How much can these wastes be sold unless they are shipped inland? But this ship is of high quality."

A voice responded: "You three are not bad, maybe we can make a big fuck."

All the thieves were shocked.

I saw Kou Zhong crossing his legs, putting his big knife on his knees, sitting easily at the edge of the cabin top, with a pair of feet hanging above the hatch, shaking inadvertently, giving him an indescribable freehand painting.

He had a bright sunny smile on his face, and his tiger's eyes shot out unfathomable divine light. When he looked around, everyone felt a terrible feeling that showed him the heart.

The man with hair was shocked and said, "What did you do to them?"

Kou Zhong Haojian said, "You should first instruct your subordinates not to act rashly, so that I will be interested in studying whether to answer your questions."

The man with a hair was disheveled and made a quick decision and shouted: "Everyone stops and come to my side."

More than 20 pirates boarded the ship hurriedly moved to the stern, which turned into a confrontation between the two sides, and the enemy and us were clearly distinguished.

The desert was obviously a person who valued friendship. His eyes were shining with cold light and said coldly: "We have offended this time. As long as you release us, we will turn around and leave immediately and never break our promise."

Kou Zhongzhi was already timid when he saw that they had dealt with the five people silently. He laughed and said, "There is such a cheap matter. Unless you all go to the sea and give up three boats, you will never have the will to see the sun tomorrow. Humph! Since you have robbed by force, you should know that there will be such a day."

The thieves became more and more sarcastic, and everyone was posing as a heroic battle to the death.

The man with hair was covered in hair shouted loudly, "Shut up!" He slowly took off his two guns on his back and said in a deep voice: "This is called "I'm punished if I want toast, I'll sign up for me."

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Old boy, tell me first!"

The man with his hair was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "A boy, an old boy, this is fair. Listen, I am the leader of the Three Ethics of the East China Sea - Double Guns - Gao Zhandao."

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Fortunately, the weapons you used are very special. If you use a sword, wouldn't you call it - Dan Jian - Gao Zhandao? This nickname must have been raised by yourself, right?"

Gao Zhandao and the thieves were the first time they met someone who was still chatting and laughing so calmly during the battle. And what they said was funny and slightly crooked, and they felt strange in their hearts.

Gao Zhandao said angrily: "No one is talking nonsense. Since you don't want to give up, you will call your accomplices out and everyone will compete for the best."

He secretly gestured to his subordinates, and as long as another enemy hidden in the cabin came out, he would immediately rescue him.

This is Kou Zhong's cleverness, and he detained five other people on the other side. Otherwise, if Gao Zhandao escapes back to the pirate ship and launches a long-distance attack, their ship will be destroyed.

Kou Zhong suddenly calmed down, his tiger's eyes were burning and his divine light stared at Gao Zhandao and said lightly: "If you want to deal with you little thieves, you can use my brother to take action. Gao Zhandao, if you still have some courage, you will fight with me alone. As long as you can survive ten moves, I will release you immediately."

Gao Zhan shouted angrily: "Shut up! I, Gao Zhandao, wouldn't you let the little thief scream in the left and right? It's not a matter of ten moves. Let's see the real sign under our hands."

Kou Zhong said coldly and coldly, "Why are you not a thief when you board a boat and loot? You bully the weak and dare to attack the fishermen who have no resistance. If you are not a thief, you are the one who is the one who is the one who is not a thief?"

Gao Zhandao's subordinate cursed: "Aren't you a thief? What kind of serious thing is smuggling private salt?"

Kou Zhongran laughed silently and said, "What's wrong with it? The northwest needs salt. We will work hard and transport the salt from thousands of miles away. We will sell it and buy it clearly. Both sides are willing. Isn't it better to take away the money you earned from your hard work?" The thieves were speechless.

Kou Zhongkang said passionately: "A man must be in the world, and he must be determined to be lofty and look at the world. After I make this money, I will use it to recruit soldiers and fight in the world, and become an immortal cause forever. How can you, a group of thieves who only know how to rob one and the other, understand it."

Gao Zhandao sneered, strode over, shouting, "Nonsense! Let me weigh you how much do you have?" When the thieves burst out with a sound of picking, Kou Zhong had already bounced up and pounced in the air. The long sword in his hand shone on Gao Zhandao like thunder and lightning.

Gao Zhandao did not expect that he would be brave enough to get this bravery. He would fight as soon as he said that he could be thunderous. He could only grit his teeth and use the power of crossing the two guns to force this extremely sharp knife.

You should know that Guan is a first-class expert. If you want to achieve your skills to reach the peak, you must brew and warm up to release your internal strength without reservation at a certain moment.

Such as Kou Zhong, who had not gone through this process at all, exerted explosive power, which immediately shocked the thieves and were shocked.

With a deep "Puff!" sound, Gao Zhandao staggered and retreated for seven steps, and then stopped retreating, his face pale as if dead. But Kou Zhong secretly praised in his heart, knowing that this person was much smarter than the two brothers, and could block his full attack. The thieves saw that the leader was inappropriate, and they all stopped Gao Zhandao, but no one dared to move forward.

Kou Zhong stood with his sword, and he had a heroic and unruly moving posture. He bent his fingers and thrust at the edge of the blade, making a clear and lingering sound. He smiled and said, "Since I can stop my sword, Zhao's affairs will be given up."

Gao Zhandao drove away the cold air that invaded Kou Zhong's body and said in horror: "Your Excellency Gao's name?"

Kou Zhong said lightly: "My name is Kou Zhong, my brother is Xu Ziling. It is not surprising that you have never heard of it."

The thieves were moved together.

Gao Zhandao suddenly said, "How could you never hear it? You just burned more than ten ships from the Haisha Gang, and even Li Mi can't do anything to you."

Kou Zhongda said happily: "Your information is so well-informed. Have you heard it back when you are on the shore? "

The thieves were stunned, and another person said, "How could Mr. Kou even guess these?"

Kou Zhong's intention to fight was completely gone. Seeing that all the thieves showed admiration and admiration for him, he laughed and said, "Let's make a deal. Let's put you five brothers back. You will be responsible for making a rich meal for me and two brothers to enjoy. From now on, how about it?"

Gao Zhandao put away his guns and said happily: "I, a natural hero like Mr. Kou, is still the first time I met in my life. Mr. Kou would not blame us for being reckless, of course we are more respectful than obedient. Ha! It's so satisfying!"

※※※

It turned out that these pirates were originally Sui soldiers. In February of the seventh year of Daye, Emperor Yang issued an edict to attack Goryeo. They were recruited to Zhuo County and followed the army to Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo. This time, the conquest was victorious first and then defeated. The morale of the Sui army was low and the military rations were not maintained.

Gao Zhandao's army of more than 300,000 people was defeated in the middle of the revenge, and only more than 2,700 people were able to return to Liaodong.

The first expedition to Goryeo failed, and the manpower and material resources were greatly damaged, so we should have rested. But Yang Guang launched the second expedition to Goryeo in the ninth year of Daye. Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, took advantage of Yang Guang's expedition to be outside, and the people hated military service and corvee service, and the world was in chaos, so they raised an army to rebel. Gao Zhandao and others rebelled at this time and followed Yang Xuangan to rebel.

Later, Yang Xuangan was defeated and died. Gao Zhandao and others fled to Kunling. However, their family had been implicated and beheaded, so they had to flee to the sea to be thieves.

The short and thin man was named Niu Fengyi and the young man was named Cha Jie. Not only did they have good martial arts skills, they also studied and went to school, so they were promoted to the leader with Gao Zhandao.

The number of pirate group members increased from 52 to 228 today. Only 208 people went out to sea today, while the others remained in the nests in Changshu.

Four ships formed a fleet and headed north along the coast.

The sky was getting darker, but the lights were on the boat.

A table of banquets was set up on Kou and Xu's boats. Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, Gao Zhandao, Niu Fengyi, Cha Jie and several leaders sat around the table, drinking and talking, and having fun.

As for the responsibility of carving the boat, it is naturally left to the thieves to carry out.

When Xu Ziling heard their life experience, he knew that it was the officials who forced the people to rebel, and his disgust was slightly reduced. Seeing that these people were all bloody men, he said, "Brother Gao, you will never be able to continue like this, but have you ever thought about turning back to the right?" Niu Fengyi smiled bitterly and said, "Now the world is divided, where is the place to live and work in peace? Now that we are gathering together to form a party, no one dares to mess with us at any time. It is very glorious. Even if we want to stop, the brothers below will not agree."

Cha Jie said, "We are just forced to fall into the trap, so unless we have to, we will never kill people randomly. We will leave a sense of responsibility when we snatch them. We will never attack poor fishermen. If Mr. Xu doesn't believe it, just ask the people nearby, we will know the style of our Donghai Gang."

Another leader Wei Yuan said: "At first we saw two men holding the flag of the Haisha Gang, and they thought it was the fat sheep that the Haisha Gang transported goods for Shenfaxing."

Gao Zhandao suddenly inserted a large bowl of wine and meat to eat a lot of fun Kou Zhong said: "Mr. Kou just mentioned that he had the ambition to compete for the world, but he didn't know what big plan he had in his heart?"

Xu Ziling glared at Kou Zhong fiercely. Only he understood Kou Zhong Chaozhuo's way of controlling people. He just used all his skills to control the thieves of the East China Sea Gang on his palms, and sometimes soft and sometimes hard, intimidating them to obey. The most powerful thing is to deliberately arouse the other party's ambition and act indifferent, making people willingly come to ask him. Kou Zhong drank the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeves, and glanced at everyone with his eyes, and then said lightly:

"Tell me, who is the one who has the most opportunity and qualification to win the world now?"

Gao Zhandao said without hesitation: "Of course...hey! I just talk about things. If you talk about reputation, of course, Li Mi will be the first."

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "He only had a superficial appearance. The biggest problem is that the Dongdu City is high and thick, and the elite troops of the old Sui Dynasty were concentrated. He was led by Yang Shichong, who had both literary and military strategies. Li Mi could not conquer Luoyang in the past, but now he could not conquer Luoyang. If he accidentally got defeated, he would be defeated."

Cha Jie said inexplicably: "It is said that Mi Duke is proficient in history, is familiar with the history of the Great Master, and is also proficient in military tactics. This can be confirmed by his repeated battles and victory. And the most powerful thing is that he knows how to win people's hearts. If he cannot win the world, who has the qualifications?"

Kou Zhongchengzhu said in his heart: "Don't forget that Dou Jiande is also restraining Li Mi in the northeast. What's more, this guy, Li Mi, shouldn't have done the least thing he did."

Niu Fengyi said in surprise: "What's the matter?"

Xu Ziling knew what Kou Zhong was going to say, and thought it was easy to impress these three people with Kou Zhong's talent and charm.

Kou Zhong was so careful that he said: "Just killing the big leader Zhai Rang, everyone who followed Zhai Rang was dissatisfied and self-indignant. The Wagang Army was no longer the united Wagang Army."

Gao Zhandao said unsolvedly: "But now that everyone is returning to their hearts, the heroes of the world are heading to Xingyang to rely on the Migong, in order to achieve great achievements, their strength should be increased and unabated."

Kou Zhong laughed and said, "This happened to be two major problems. First, the old people were afraid of excluding the new people, which added doubts about the generals who had close ties with Zhai Rang; secondly, the elite Wagang army would become of different quality, and perhaps the spy sent by all parties might have infiltrated the spies sent by all parties. Humph! People say how Li Mi is outstanding, but I see it, but I am. If I were him, I would only put Zhai Rang under house arrest and let him be a puppet leader in name only."

Several people from Gao Zhandao exchanged glances, all showing a surprised look. Xu Ziling sighed in his heart, knowing that Kou Zhong's intention to compete for the world was already an arrow and would not turn back. Li Mi and others forced several terrible enemies. And dealing with Gao Zhandao's pirates was just his beginning.
