Chapter 1367 Gunshots

"My benefactor, what happened?"

The collapse of the coconut tree alarmed the crowd not far away. Yu Wuya was the fastest, and several ups and downs rushed over quickly. Then he saw his wife and a group of people holding a big green-skinned melon and sucking it with a grass stem.

"Dad, come here, this is coconut fruit, the coconut juice inside is so delicious!"

Yu Ji handed Yu Wuya the coconut that he had almost finished drinking in his hand. Yu Wuya took it and took a sip. He was stunned for a few sips and then finished it completely. Yiyi reluctantly held the coconut shell and sat down and said, "My benefactor didn't call me if he found such delicious wild fruit!"

Chen Xu continued to chop the coconut with his face, and after finishing it, he handed it to Yu Ji, and then chopped another one to Yu Wuya.

"Well, delicious, what kind of fruit is this? Why have you never seen it before?" Yu Wuya drank and looked at the coconut in his hand curiously.

"This is called coconut, it is only available in the hot southeast coastal islands. Since there are some nearby, I guess more to continue to go south!" Chen Xu finally split the third one and sat next to Yu Wuya while drinking.

"It seems that we will have more good things to quench our thirst on this island in the future!" Yu Wuya nodded and looked at a broken coconut tree in front of him, shook his head regretfully and said, "My benefactor, even if this coconut juice is delicious, you shouldn't cut down the tree. This method of cutting off the children and grandchildren seems to be a bit messy..."

"Yes, it's indeed a bit of a mess!" Chen Xu nodded and agreed.

"Hmph!" A cold snorted from the side. Yu Wuya looked up at Xia Zijin and two swords with two cold eyes were trembling and poked on his soul. He shivered slightly and understood, and instantly changed his face with righteous words, "Anyway, we have only lived on the island for a year. This area is probably in the training ground. People sent to him tomorrow will be cut down... Liangtang!"

Han Xin shook his hand and almost fell to the ground, and Shang Qi was stunned.

Chen Xu:...

"Puchi~" Shui Qingrou covered her mouth and laughed and her delicate body trembled. Yu Ji laughed and lay on Xiang Jing and couldn't straighten her waist.

"Brother Yu is indeed considerate and we feel inferior!" Cao Shen bowed his hands without a smile.

He and Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin came and went between Langya and Yingzhou several times. Over the years, they had been ripe and ripe. They knew the daily life of the strange couple Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin, so they became accustomed to it.

At this time, guards and managers rushed over one after another. After asking questions, they learned that this was a delicacy that had never been seen in the Central Plains. They all found a coconut on the ground or the broken treetops without hesitation. Under the guidance of Cao Shen and Han Xin, the others, they used their own sword to split the fruit shells, and used a straw or directly to the gap.

"What a pity, it's too little!" The juice in a coconut was only half a pound per pound, and it was almost finished. Yu Wuya shook the coconut shell and stood up regretfully to continue searching, and found that there were no trees on and under them.

"Don't rush to throw the shell!" Chen Xu reminded him, drank the coconut a few sips, and then split the coconut shells with a few clicks, revealing the snow-white flesh inside and said with a smile, "Actually, this layer of flesh inside can be eaten, and you can also cook..."

While Chen Xu was speaking, he cut a small piece of coconut meat with a dagger and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for a few times and said with a smile: "It tastes sweet and refreshing, and it tastes similar to coconut juice. You can make it out and try it!"

So a group of people who had dried up coconut milk each started to chop the coconut shells, and used swords and daggers to dig out the coconut meat and began to taste it. Chen Xu looked up at a broken coconut tree and said regretfully: "This coconut tree grows slowly, so stay here. It can also be shaded during daily training..."

"Bang~"

Just as Chen Xu was speaking, a gunshot suddenly came from the northeast.

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and threw the coconut shell on the ground to stand up. Yu Wuya, Cao Shen and others also stood up.

"Bang~~" Suddenly another gunshot came, and there seemed to be a roar in the vague sense of roar.

"Ming the hat, summon people, Qinglu and Zijin protect Yu Ji and Miss Xiang, the second brother and Cao Guanzhao watch the big ship, and the rest follow me!" Chen Xu's face frozen instantly, and after dispatching tasks one after another, he pulled out a pistol and loaded it.

"Come on, protect the marquis!" The guard leader roared, and more than a dozen guards followed immediately. Yu Wuya had already rushed out first, and his figure disappeared from the weeds.

The sudden gunshot instantly disturbed the entire beach and river port. As the sound of whimpering horns sounded, thousands of people stopped their work and became busy at a loss.

"Don't move around, the third battalion of Izumo, Xiangyun, and Storm will follow with their tools, and the rest will guard the ships and camps, and leave~~"

With a few scoldings and roars, the panicked crowd began to calm down. Several officials soon followed with almost a thousand teenagers holding axes, knives, shovels and hoes, and in an instant, heading straight to the island along the river bank.

At the call of the horn, the musket team, who were searching around, quickly blew the sirens and began to gather in the camp.

"Bang bang~~"

While running, gunfire was still coming in front of you, and you could hear roars and fights, but nothing could be seen through the lush forest.

"When you encounter suspicious people later, you will be killed if you resist!"

Chen Xu was confused at this time. According to his historical experience, there were not many people on this island in Taiwan now. Some of the ancient Yiyue tribes who came from ancient times to cross the sea definitely did not compete with the strength of musket players. Although the musket players were not martial arts masters, they had also undergone strict military training and training for veterans who had been on the battlefield such as Chen Hu and Liu Po, as well as some simple mental methods of meditation and breathing left by Yu Wuya. Even if they were killed with swords and guns, they were better than most of the Great Qin soldiers. With the rifle, Chen Xu could not think of anyone who could compete with this era.

But judging from the sounds coming from now, the enemy is probably a bit powerful.

“Hurry, hurry up!”

Chen Xu walked through the dense forests. A group of guards from front, back, left and right guards kept him firmly in the middle. He ran for about two or three miles in one breath. After passing through a forest, a lake appeared in front of him. There were more than a dozen broken fishing boats of different sizes and lots of fishing boats docked on the shore of the lake. You could see neat rice fields around the lake and dozens of thatched huts made of bamboo and wood.

At this time, the lake shore was in chaos, and countless women, children cried and fled around. As the crowd jumped, a group of musket players had chased a group of people towards the forests northwest of the lake. In the rice fields along the way, you could clearly see how many people were lodging, but they didn't know how to live or die.

"Be careful, these people are not natives on the island!"

Yu Wuya's shout came from afar, and he saw several people catching up with a single man. As soon as the two sides fought, the man screamed and covered his wrist and retreated, and was kicked to the ground by Yu Wuya in an instant.

"Marty, the musket team has the upper hand now. You don't need to take risks. It's not too late to wait for the people behind to catch up and surround them slowly!"

Seeing the situation in front of him clearly, not only Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but the guard leader also stopped in front of Chen Xu.

"Well, you guys go to the village first to see if there are any injured team members or single enemies, be careful!"

"Here~" Several guards took the order and pulled out their swords and rushed into the village that was only a hundred feet apart. With kicks and scolding, men, women, young and old were quickly driven out of the room. After a brief questioning, a guard hurriedly turned around to report.

"Marquis, these people are all natives on the island, and their words are obscure, but they can still say some local words in Wu and Yue. They said that the one who fought with the musket team was a group of people who came by boat three years ago. They didn't know the details, and only said that these people were very vicious, killed many middle-aged men in their village, and then occupied the village and lived here with women..."

"Xiang Bo!"

Chen Xu couldn't help but shout a name, and almost at the same time, the image of a burly and domineering middle-aged man appeared in front of Chen Xu.

If you guessed correctly, the evil people mentioned by the natives were Xiang Bo and others who disappeared after leaving the Zhoushan Islands.

It is also very consistent based on time.

Four years ago, the Xiang family was suppressed when they rebelled. Xiang Bo, Zhonglimei and others escaped into the sea by boat. Then, after hiding in the Zhoushan Islands for a period of time, facing Wang Ben's continued pursuit, he had to leave the Zhoushan Islands and continue to go south, and then arrive in central Fujian.

Although Taiwan is more than 400 miles away from the mainland, the statement among the Yue people in central Fujian has been passed down for a long time. Almost all the old and young coastal people know that there is a large island deep in the East China Sea, where Yi people live. Some local alchemists even call Yizhou Yingzhou, believing that Taiwan is one of the three gods in ancient legends.

After arriving in Dongye County a few days ago, Chen Xu talked with local officials such as Gao Yong to inquire about details. There are indeed rumors about Yizhou in the local area, but no one has ever heard of anyone in hundreds of years. However, the locals are confident in talking about this and use the reputation of their ancestors to ensure that Yizhou does exist.

Perhaps Xiang Bo and others also heard the legend about Yizhou, and then rowed to cross the sea to Taiwan.

If they hadn't met themselves, they might have been able to have a happy life here.

Or, if it weren't for the appearance of his own historical mess, Xiang wouldn't have been so miserable. He would have been able to make a fortune in a few years. How could he have thought that he would be as miserable as a dog with a family now?

Since Xiang Bo is here, then Zhonglimei must be there too.

Chen Xu clenched his fists tightly, and blue veins appeared on his forehead and neck.

Xiang's rebellion had nothing to do with him, but Zhonglimei had to ease his hatred.

"The Marquis guess is good. These people may be the remnants of Xiang's family who escaped four years ago!" The guard leader's expression became even more serious in an instant.

"Go and check those people to see if there are any living beings, and check carefully whether there are any musket players injured!" Chen Xu took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down.

As long as Zhonglimei is on Taiwan Island, he will be unable to escape. This time he will definitely kill him and then go back. The sky and the earth are vast and wilderness. This opportunity is rare. Once you miss it, you don’t know that you can meet it in the Year of the Monkey and Horses.
