Chapter VIII Ship Battle

At the sea at night, looking around, the darkness around seemed endless. In the sky, the moon was wrapped in thick clouds, and only the faint starlight and the vague lantern light on the boat shone together, quietly reflecting the sleeping faces of a boat full of refugees.

Li Xiao was not asleep.

He held the tiger sword tightly in his right hand. Although he was closing his eyes and dozing off like others on the surface, he was very alert in his heart.

In this unfamiliar environment, Li Xiao really dared not let himself relax too much.

After all, I personally promised that I would send her home safely.

Suddenly, a very subtle sound of footsteps came into Li Xiao's ears.

Li Xiao immediately opened his eyes, but saw more than a dozen people holding swords and wearing black clothes, with only two eyeballs on their faces tiptoed towards him!

Li Xiao shouted loudly, and the tiger sword in his hand immediately clenched and rose up high.

When more than a dozen men in black saw Li Xiao discovering it, they were shocked. Seeing that the group of people failed to attack, they quickly stopped and immediately lit up many torches, illuminating the deck around them.

The refugees were awakened by Li Xiao's shout. When they opened their eyes, they saw Li Xiao holding a tiger sword in his hand and were about to fight with a group of men in black. They were so scared that they cried and ran around.

Li Xiao shouted: "Don't be surprised, everyone, and you will retreat to both ends of the ship to avoid hurting you."

Upon hearing this, the refugees ran to the bow and stern of the ship, and gave Li Xiao and the men in black a large deck space in the middle.

"Li Xiao, what happened?" Behind Li Xiao, Zu Wan'er's shock and fear came the sound of fear.

"Don't be afraid, but there are a few bad guys. Wu Liang, you and Wan'er will retreat behind me." Li Xiaoyu shouted in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liang was shocked and hurriedly pulled Zu Wan'er to a boat pile behind Li Xiao.

While Li Xiao was silently confronting more than a dozen men in black, he walked slowly across the sea with a little lame right leg, followed by a guy with crooked eyes. Both of them looked fierce, but they looked proud.

"Hey, what's your name?" asked across the sea with his eyes slanted.

"Grandpa doesn't change his name, and does not change his surname. Li Xiao is the same. What kind of dog are you?" Li Xiao replied coldly.

"Ha, you guys are so angry. It's the owner of this ship who crosses the sea. Li Xiao, you dare to call yourself grandpa in front of me, but you are afraid you are tired of living." Crossing the sea sneered, winking at the crooked eyes on the side.

Weiyan understood and shouted loudly to Li Xiao: "The ship owner said that as long as you are aware of your weapons and wealth and the BMW, you can save your life. If you dare to say half of the word, you must ask the heroes to chop you into meat sauce!"

Li Xiao smiled coldly and let out a tiger sword in his hand: "Go to cheat people like this! Grandpa even kills the Tartars, but he is afraid that you thieves! Don't say nonsense, I want to take my grandpa's property, let's see if the tiger sword in my hand agrees!"

He was furious across the sea and made a slashing gesture with his right hand.

More than a dozen men in black immediately shouted loudly, raised their swords and attacked Li Xiao together!

Li Xiao roared wildly, and the tiger sword in his hand came out sharply, quickly drew a half-arc. Two screams immediately sounded at the same time. The two men in black who rushed to the front squirted blood on their chests, and then they fell to the ground and twitched and died.

The remaining men in black were stunned when they saw Li Xiao's move so fiercely that they killed the two of them in an instant, and then shouted and surrounded him.

Li Xiao's face was as cold as iron. He waved his backhand and knocked the weapon in a man in black flying away. Then he kicked the man in black on the side, kicking a man in black flying up in the air, screaming and falling out from afar, unable to get up again.

Two men in black attacked each other on the front. Li Xiao shouted violently, and the tiger sword in his hand slashed as hard as possible. Two screams came. One man in black held the knife's wrist was cut off at all, and his broken hand was still holding his waist and fell on the deck. The other man in black was cut open by the tiger sword flying downwards. The stomach and intestines and organs flew out together, and an unpleasant smell immediately spread on the deck.

The two seriously injured men in black rolled miserably on the deck and screamed incessantly, which made the remaining men in black frightened, and no one dared to come forward to fight with Li Xiao anymore.

Hiding behind the sea, Crossing the Sea was furious: "You fearful devils! What's the use of me to support you? So many people can't kill one of him. How dare you wince, come on me quickly!"

After crossing the sea, Li Xiao shouted wildly and rushed towards the direction across the sea. The tiger sword in his hand slashed left and right, and killed two men in black who were unable to react. One of his head flew into the sky, and the other was cut from his waist to two pieces!

Li Xiao's almost terrifying force made Jun Bridgehai unable to believe his eyes. Seeing that the man in black who was protecting himself was instantly killed by violence, Jun Bridgehai thought of running away quickly.

It's too late.

"Miscellaneous, die!" Li Xiao shouted like a thunderstorm. The tiger sword in his hand was raised high, and a pale sword light fell in the sky. There was only a dull explosion. The tiger sword that was slashed fiercely in the sky cut across the sea from head to hip in half!

The gushing blood dyed Li Xiao into a bloody man covered in blood!

When the remaining five men in black saw Li Xiao's cruel and fierce super force, everyone was scared of their courage, and they threw their swords and knelt on the ground to beg for their lives.

The wicked eyes on the side were also scared to the point of pale face, and their legs were trembling as if they were sifted. Before he could react, a tiger sword covered with blood was placed fiercely on his neck.

"Do you have to die or live!"

Li Xiao's violent shout made Waiyan shiver even more.

"Heroes, I want to live, I want to live, they are all ship owners. Bah, they are all crossing the sea to force villains, beg the heroes to let go of villains." With a crooked eye, he knelt on the ground and begged for his life like those remaining black clothes.

"Okay, you guys, throw all the dead and injured guys into the sea and then rinse the deck." Li Xiao's voice was as cold as iron.

"Okay, good man, do you want to throw away the injured ones?" He looked at the men in black who were still rolling on the deck and wailing, and asked hesitantly in his voice.

"Take it! If you don't throw them, I'll throw you!" Li Xiao pulled back the tiger sword placed on the neck of Weiyan, without any discussion.

Weiyan and the other five men in black, as if they had heard the imperial edict together, rushed over and raised the dead bodies and injured men in black, including the guy whose wrist had been cut off, and threw them all into the sea from the side of the ship.

"Good man, please spare your life..."

The wounded struggled violently, and the sound of begging for mercy was hoarse, but they were still thrown into the sea one by one. Like the dead bodies, a small wave splashed on the sea and disappeared quickly. And where they sank, it immediately surging like boiling water, and the sea water surging up and down.

Li Xiao knew that it was the shark that smelled bloody smell swimming over, fighting to bite the dead bodies and wounded soldiers.

Seeing this tragic situation, Waiyan and five men in black looked pale, and their legs were almost difficult to stand firm. However, they did not dare to slack off and quickly began to fetch water to wash the deck, and washed off the blood that flowed over the deck and the human organs sprinkled therein.

Apart from the sound of these people scrubbing the deck, the entire boat was silent.

Standing like a sculpture, looking at Li Xiao who was scrubbing them coldly, but sighed in his heart that it was not because of Li's cruelty, but if you don't use some means, you gang of vicious people will be afraid of becoming evil. Now you can execute the wounded soldiers to teach you how to know my methods! At least from now on the road to the seaside of Jinzhou, you will never dare to have evil thoughts.

Then, Li Xiao's shouts sounded loudly: "Don't be frightened, everyone is attacking just now. In order to ensure your safety, Li Xiao had to start a massacre. Now the evil people have been eliminated. After the deck is cleaned, everyone will return to their original position to rest."

The answer to him was still silent. Li Xiao saw that every refugee had a submissive and numb expression on his face.

Li Xiao suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

These people who struggled to survive in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty were probably already numb to their miserable life. These poor people struggled to survive in violence and blood, and their only wish would be to live in vain. Li Xiao was thinking that if he wanted to attack them now, most of them would only kneel down and beg for mercy, and few would think of resisting.

Soon after, the deck was cleaned, Li Xiao asked Waiyan to bring a long rope and tied the remaining men in black together. He also told him that only when they arrived at the beach in Jinzhou could they be loosened, so as not to cause chaos on their way.

Unexpectedly, these men in black were extremely happy after hearing Li Xiao's orders, and thanked Li Xiao for his life.

The crooked eyes were quite good at things. Seeing that Li Xiao was covered in blood, he quickly brought a large basin of water and brought a few excellent silk satin clothes over. He diligently helped Li Xiao remove the blood marks and helped him change into new clothes.

Although Li Xiao was extremely despised this person's flattery and flattery, he was very helpful in his heart.

"What's your name?" Li Xiao changed his clothes, pulled Waiyan aside and said to Waiyan inadvertently.

"The little one is called Hou Dao. Everyone calls me Waiyan. Sir, don't call me Daming, it's better to call me Waiyan. The little one is used to listening." Hou Dao said hurriedly.

"Hmph, listen well, I'm dead now across the sea. I'll order you to be the lord of this ship, are you willing?" Li Xiao said lightly.

Weiyan was overjoyed, his eyes lit up excitedly, and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, good man, Weiyan is grateful."

Li Xiao sneered: "Is it over to say thank you just? "

Weiyan was stunned and his face changed suddenly. He looked at Li Xiao in confusion and fear, not knowing what he was selling in the gourd.

Li Xiao didn't look at him, but just looked at the dark sea outside and said in a teasing tone: "During this period, you have made a lot of money from refugees. I looked at it. Nearly 400 people were transported on this boat. Based on 5 taels of silver for each person, this trip would have at least 2,000 taels of income. In addition, you used to commit crimes and killed wealthy passengers. According to Li's estimate, the ill-gotten wealth you have sought is tens of thousands of taels. You said, now I will give you a way out and give this boat to you. Shouldn't you express your expression?"

Weiyan understood and asked in a trembling voice: "But I don't know how much filial a hero wants to be a young man?"

Li Xiao stretched out a finger: "At least this number."

What Li Xiao didn't expect was that the wicked eye immediately called Qu: "Mr. Li, you are really a small ship. The small ship was robbed by pirates a few days ago. All the money and goods were taken away. It is so scarce that I can have 10,000 taels of silver to honor the hero. If the hero doesn't believe it, I can take you to search the ship. If there is such a number, the head on the wicked eye's neck will be taken away by the hero."

Li Xiao felt disappointed. Seeing this crooked expression, he didn't seem to be lying. Li Xiao pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how much money can you take out now?"

Weiyan thought about it, and his voice trembled more and more: "The hero is only three thousand taels."

Li Xiao's face was angry, his eyes stared at Waiyan fiercely, his heart trembled. He knelt on the ground in a hurry and kowtowed repeatedly: "Heroic man, don't think that the business of smuggling refugees in Jinzhou can be carried out for a long time. The Tartars have looted all parts of Jinzhou. The rich families were either killed or captured to Chenyang. Now there are still refugees who can still have money to escape by boat. There are really not many people. Those poor refugees who have no money are of no use. I guess my merchant ship will take up at most two more trips, carrying a thousand or eight hundred people. I am afraid that the refugees who still have money to return to Jinzhou will never be found."

Li Xiao was silent and unresponsive when he heard this.

He knew that Waiyan was telling the truth. These rich refugees were transporting one batch and a fewer batches. They were originally a temporary one-time transaction and could never be done for a long time.

"Okay, 3,000 taels are 3,000 taels. Remember, if you dare to do money and kill yourself in the future, I, Li Xiao, will definitely take your dog's head." Li Xiao said intimidatingly.

Weiyan kowtowed repeatedly: "I dare not dare to do serious business in the future. I will never do this murderous and robbery again."

Waiyan then said that when he arrived at the Jinzhou coast, he gave the silver to Li Xiao. Li Xiao thought about it and agreed.

Next, Waiyan invited Li Xiao and others to go back to the cabin to rest, and Li Xiao took Zu Wan'er and Wu Liang to the cabin together.

The following two days, the sea was calm and fortunately, and I had not encountered pirates. Along the way, Waiyan took good care of Li Xiao and others, and even Li Xiao's horses carefully fed the fine beans. As Li Xiao meant, he even gave the food on the boat to the refugees for free. This person's congratulations made Li Xiao's impression of him change a lot.

On the third morning after Li Xiao left the Jinzhou Coast, the merchant ship arrived at the Jinzhou Coast Pier.

After the refugees got off the boat, Waiyan honestly offered 3,000 taels of silver, wrapped it in a large cloth, and handed it to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao took the silver and tied it up immediately, and scared him not to do bad things anymore, otherwise he would be killed in the future and would be whispered in a crooked manner.

In fact, Li Xiao knew that once this crooked eye was gone, it would be impossible for him to control him again. However, it was necessary to threaten this person and make him feel scared. At least, even if this person still had to continue to do evil, he would think that Li Xiao would settle the score with him sooner or later, so he would not dare to be as unscrupulous as before.

After getting off the boat, Li Xiao and Wu Liang parted on the spot. Wu Liang kept sighing that it was rare to make friends like Li Xiao along the way, and asked Li Xiao to visit his house when he had time. Li Xiao laughed and agreed.

The morning breeze is flying, and the summer sun shines brightly in the sky. Li Xiao, who is in a happy mood, leads the horse and strode towards Jinzhou City, which is faintly visible in the distance.
