Chapter 895 Night Attack

Half an hour later, in a small bay six or seven miles away from the camp where Huangshi Gong and others gathered on weekdays, ten fishing boats finally landed after nearly three hours of long bumps. When a group of fishermen and boatmen pushed the fishing boats to the beach, Chen Xu and others were all lying on the beach with weak hands and feet gasping, and they were already vomiting and almost collapsed.

When I stepped on the land, my whole body was still spinning, as if the entire island was still shaking.

After resting for half an hour, after eating some dry food and drinking water, Chen Xu and others felt that their souls had recovered their bodies. At this time, the sky was completely dark and they could only see a blurry situation of only more than ten feet around. They checked swords, guns, crossbows, muskets, grenades, and left two guards and a group of fishermen to guard the fishing boats. The rest all followed a few boatmen to inquire about Huangshigong's camp.

Huangshi Gong's camp is northwest of the island, and Chen Xu and others docked in the southwest. Although the two sides are not far apart, there is a low ridge between them. Moreover, the island is densely filled with trees and thorns, and the weeds are half a person tall, so there is no road at all. However, the boatman leading the way has lived on this deserted island with Huangshi Gong and others for two or three years, so he is very familiar with this island.

"You guys are careful to follow behind. Although it is difficult to move on the island, there are no beasts except for some insects and snakes..."

Several boatmen led the way, and a group of guards scattered around to protect Chen Xu and others in the center. They walked slowly in the woods in the darkness. The straight line was only three miles apart, but they walked for half an hour.

After crossing the ridge, you can hear men, women, children and even crying, scolding, beating and scolding. With the sound alone, you can know that these Motu alchemists are humiliating the arrested women.

"Be careful, there is a gust of water not far ahead. All the water intakes on the island rely on this fountain, and there may be someone to protect it!" A boatman whispered.

"Go and observe a few people. If there is a siege, kill it first!" Chen Xu ordered, and several guards took the order and left. More than ten minutes later, a guard returned to report: "Young master, there are indeed three Mo Tu guardians in the water spring, and they have all been killed. The companions have already gone to explore the way!"

"Let's go!" Chen Xu waved his hand and a group of people moved forward again, and the woods ahead slowly began to become wider. A large number of trees and thorns should have been cut down to repair the pier and houses.

A group of people walked forward carefully for more than ten feet again. Sure enough, they saw a sip of water, surrounded by rocks and thorns. All three Momen were lying beside the spring water, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Young Master, if you want to do something, you have to hurry up. If there is only this water spring on this island, someone might come to get water soon!" Xiao He whispered to remind again.

Chen Xu looked at the bonfire and the figures coming and going on the beach not far away, and hesitated for a moment and said: "Now there are not only Motu alchemists and boatmen on the island, but also many innocent women, boys and girls, all of which are mixed together. If you use Taiyi Divine Thunder attack, you will definitely hurt innocent people!"

"Young Master, the safety of the Marquis is the best. You must not be kind to a woman. First, use the Taiyi divine thunder to attack. Mo Tu and the alchemist will inevitably be in chaos. Then we rush over and rescue the Marquis!" Liu Bang couldn't help but say.

"No, I can't hurt innocent people. You guys put on the boatman's clothes and touched them into the camp to inquire. It's best to find Qingru's whereabouts, so that we won't be aimless. As long as you rescue Qingru, it's best to take the opportunity to seize a big ship so that you can safely return to Langya!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"Shh, silence, someone is coming!"

Just as several guards were about to change clothes with the boatman, a low reminder came from a short distance ahead. Sure enough, three boatmen were soon seen holding torches and holding clay pots to get water along the small road.

"Don't kill me, leave a living!" Chen Xu whispered, and several guards rushed out of the darkness before the torch approached the spring. Before the three ship workers could come back to their senses, they saw several vicious warriors surrounding them.

"Ah..." The boatman holding a torch opened his mouth and exclaimed. With a thunder, the sword light flew across his throat. A stream of blood spurted out and the sound stopped abruptly. Before his body fell, he was held by a guard and dragged into the thorns. The torch that fell to the ground was also picked up. Almost at the same time, the remaining two boatmen were already rushing up by several guards, covering their mouths and pressing them to the ground.

"Say, where is Huangshi Gong? Where are the women who were caught back at sea today? " Chen Xu squatted in front of a boatman and shouted in a cold voice.

"Um... I don't know, don't know!" The boatman shook his head desperately.

"If you don't know, you'll die!" The guard leader put the big sword around the boatman's neck.

"My masters, since the ship returned here today, Huangshi Gong has never appeared, and I don't know where the few young ladies who were caught are still on the boat..." Another boatman lay on the ground in horror and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Young Master, they didn't lie. I used to spend most of my time on the boat rowing in the bottom cabin, or I was carrying cargo. Those Motus and alchemists looked at us tightly on weekdays and could not walk around on the boat..." A middle-aged boatman who led the way also whispered.

This time it was a little troublesome, and Chen Xu felt that he had lost his square inch.

Huangshi Gong did not get off the boat, and Shui Qingrou and others were gone. Then the greatest possibility was also locked on the boat. If there was no target in the night, the attack would be launched, as long as there was a slight disturbance, the Huangshi Gong would definitely leave by boat. In this way, finding it again in the vast sea would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chen Xu didn't care whether Huangshi Gong died or not. He cared about the safety of Shui Qingrou. Moreover, even if he found the right ship to attack Huangshi Gong, Shui Qingrou would definitely use Shui Qingrou as a hostage. At that time, Shui Qingrou would be even more dangerous.

What's more, there are hundreds of mobsters, alchemists and boatmen on the island, plus the women and children caught, if a large-scale conflict breaks out, there will be heavy casualties. Moreover, this island is more than 100 miles away from the mainland, and guns and bullets cannot be replenished at all. Each child carries two grenades and ten rounds of ammunition. Once consumed, he will definitely be trapped on the island by Huangshi Gong and slowly killed. Even if it is not killed, as long as they transport all the food away or simply burn it, they will starve to death after ten days and half a month. The hope of waiting for Langya's officers and soldiers to come to rescue is too slim. The main reason is that there are no large ships, and smaller fishing boats cannot reach such a long distance.

"Young Master, it seems that Huangshi Gong is also guarding against us coming to attack the camp. We are aimless and unable to attack randomly. Once we are besieged on the island, it is even more dangerous!" Xiao He whispered.

Everyone else looked at Chen Xu.

"There are still several ships on the island now, which one is the ship that Huangshi takes on on a fair day?" Chen Xu took a few deep breaths to calm down and continued to ask.

At present, he is the backbone of this group of people. A group of guards and young men all obeyed the orders. Although Xiao He, Cao Shen and Liu Bang decided to follow him, they still would not blindly follow him. After all, they were just ordinary low-level officials and gangsters, and they had not yet begun to dominate the world.

What's more, Chen Xu brought too few people, dozens of people dealing with thousands of people. Even if Chen Xu really has magic skills, he cannot guarantee that they can go back alive. The variables are too great.

"Go back to Master, there are currently six large ships on the island, two of which were seriously damaged, but there are four left in the remaining four ships!"

"Young Master, why not wait until dawn to find out the specific whereabouts of Huangshi Duke and Concubine Marquis before making arrangements?" Cao Shen whispered.

"You can't wait until dawn. Once dawn, Huangshi Gong might set off and leave. The chances are even slim at that time!" Liu Bang shook his head.

"Change clothes first, touch the camp and inquire first, it's best to catch one or two Mo Tu ask!" Seeing that there was no useful information, Chen Xu had to stand up and instruct a group of guards and boatmen to change their clothes first.

Ten minutes later, the two boatmen who were captured and the four killed were stripped down by the guards and replaced them. The remaining few boatmen who led the way also took off the clothes and put them on the guards. At the command of the guard leader, more than ten people quickly disappeared into the woods.

Next is an anxious and long wait.

Half an hour passed, accompanied by the chirping of night birds, a group of guards finally returned one after another, bringing back two Motus and two alchemists.

In the cabin of a large ship docked in the bay, Huang Shigong leaned against the bulkhead with his pale face and his hair was messy and he was meditating with a thick linen wrapped around his upper body. However, blood still continued to seep out. Gai Nie's sword with all his strength almost cut through his chest. In addition, he attacked Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin three times in a row and grabbed Huishui Qingrou. His injuries were even more serious than the last time he was injured by Yu Wuya with a musket.

Suddenly, a few bird songs came from the night sky, and Huang Shigong suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.

"Father, why are you so nervous?" Huang Tianqiong, who had been guarding the cabin door, quickly asked.

"Qiong'er, have you heard the birds singing just now?" Huang Shigong was sober and asked with a serious look on his face after listening.

"The child heard it, it was just seabirds singing at night, and my father doesn't need to worry!"

"No, this is the sound of the yellow birds singing, which is different from the seabirds!" Huang Shigong shook his head.

"You mean a stranger has come to the island?" Huang Tianqiong's face was a little flustered in an instant.

"I'm just guessing. Go down and investigate and arrange for the disciples to guard the food and sea boats. We will set off until dawn!"

"Yes, father!" Huang Tianqiong turned and left, and soon countless torches lit up near several large ships and camps. Hundreds of Mo Nuo's bare hands began to patrol near the camp. The originally quiet beach suddenly became a hustle and noisy.

"No, it seems that Mr. Huangshi discovered us!" Xiao He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice in the woods.

"So what if you discover it? It's a matter of time sooner or later. I already know the location of Huangshi Gong, but I'm afraid Qingrou is also on that ship!"

Although Chen Xu's face was very ugly, there were torches everywhere on the beach. A large number of Mo Ju appeared, so it was clear that the entire beach and the situation on the big ship. The shadows of the six big ships were very eye-catching among the bear's shaking torches. According to the explanations of the two alchemists and the two Mo Ju just now, Huangshi Gong was on the big ship in the middle, and as expected, the water that was caught and the other two women were also on the big ship.

In addition to the boiling water, there were two women. Chen Xu could probably guess that one of them was Gongsun Beiyan, who was almost inseparable from Gai Nie, but the other one was unknown.

"Marty, someone is here, what should I do?" The guard leader bowed and asked.

"Don't worry, be prepared to go out..." Chen Xu reached out and took out the pistol that had been filled with gunpowder at his waist. "The guards rushed forward and caused chaos. The musket then attacked those holding torches. Remember to shoot three alternately, Xiao He, Cao, Liu and Liu Bang followed me, remember how to use Taiyi Divine Thunder just now, don't make any mistakes, come out~"

Chen Xu waved his hand against seven or eight shaking torches. In addition to the two guards who were protecting Chen Xu, the remaining dozen guards rushed out like wild wolves. The twenty young men immediately followed him nervously and excitedly raised the musket and rushed out.
