After the three of them came out, they ran a long way in one direction before stopping.

Xie Ming said: "Young Master, this is a small island, with only one side of the river, behind a cliff, and on both sides of the forest, we can't escape, and we will be found sooner or later."

Xiao Yi looked at the Shulin behind him and said, "First find a place to hide it. I'm missing. Xiao Wu and the others will come to find it. Now a day has passed, and it should be here soon."

Xie Ming said: "What if the fifth master can't find us?"

Xiao Yi looked away and took it for granted: "He can't find it? Why can't he find it? How difficult is it?"

Xie Ming was stunned.

Xiao Yixin said, how long has the Wangyue Gate been allowed to operate? If he can't find him, Xiao Mo can go back to Nanyue to feed pigs.

He was not worried at all.

Xie Ming didn't ask any more.

Yu Weixi followed Xiao Yi closely and said nothing.

The three of them entered the forest. The forest was too big and they dared not walk deep into the forest. Once they got lost, the survival methods mentioned in the book were nonsense. The trees in the forest were tall and dense, so the sun would definitely not be visible, and the Big Dipper could not be seen, so once they entered the old forest with very high and dense trees, they would have to wait to die.

The three of them found a big tree to rest. Not long after, the sun gradually set, and the voices of the bandits could be heard from time to time.

Xiao Yi was calculating something against the tree, and Xie Ming was wiping his dagger. This dagger was bought by Xiao Yi for him. It was cut iron like mud, and two were given to Shi Luo in total. Xiao Yi gave this hand to Xie Ming without hesitation.

Xie Ming likes it very much.

Yu Weixi sat quietly, wondering if she remembered her grandfather.

Not long after, the three of them were hungry, Xie Ming said: "I'll go and get some wild game."

Xiao Yi said: "Forget it, you can't starve to death by one or two meals. If you get separated, it will be troublesome. Moreover, once we bake something, we will be discovered soon."

Xie Ming then gave up his thoughts.

Xiao Mo arrived in the morning and arrived outside the island in the afternoon.

The one with him was an adult named Wang.

Lord Wang was born in the imperial examination and was only a little bit clear to the bandits.

He just took office last year, but who knew he was so unlucky that he encountered a severe drought in Huizhou, and the number of water ghosts soared, so he didn't take the imperial court seriously at all.

Moreover, the Great Zhou was not based on the sea, and the development of the navy was limited. Regular navy was stationed at the big wharf. Lord Wang was considered a delta around the canal. The population was not large, and Lord Wang had few veterans in his hands, and the combat effectiveness of the new recruits was weak, which led to the rampant canal bandits.

Lord Wang was anxious. Who knew that the water ghost had kidnapped the fourth prince of Nanyue so by chance? If there was something wrong with the prince and it was still something on his land, he would definitely use him as a scapegoat.

Lord Wang said worriedly: "This island is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so I'm afraid it's difficult to enter."

Xiao Mo asked, "How many people are there on Lord Wang?"

"three hundred."

"Where are the water bandits?"

“More than five hundred.”

What Mr. Wang said was conservatively estimated, but in fact he should have more.

Xiao Mo glanced at Lord Wang's soldiers. Although the quality was a bit poor, fortunately they could all be watered, so there was no problem going ashore to kill a few water bandits.

Xiao Mo also brought the guards of Nanyue Mansion. The level of these guards was much higher, and they were good at water and had good combat power, so they were few people.

By this calculation, the number of people is actually almost the same. It’s just that the water ghosts are easy to defend but difficult to attack, so they are more passive.

Xiao Mo took the map on the island and took a look, and made strategic arrangements soon.

Lord Wang was still worried, but Xiao Mo patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wang, tonight's battle is a matter of life and death for you. Lord Wang still needs to take out the courage to burn his boats."

Lord Wang is not a fool. Although he is a literati, he has integrity and understands what Xiao Mo said. He nodded immediately: "Don't worry, the fifth prince, no one wants Yi to go to the nobles to have an accident on the island."

Moreover, he had long wanted to get rid of these water bandits who were tragic to the village.

Xiao Mo has improved a little more about Lord Wang.

"We also need a guide who is familiar with the environment on the island." Xiao Mo said.

Lord Wang said: "This is not a problem. One has developed before. He used to be a fisherman on the island. Later, the island was occupied by water ghosts, and his family was killed by water ghosts. He hated the water ghosts extremely much and could be our guide."

After saying that, Lord Wang added: "In addition, we also found a few fishermen. Although we had never been to the island, we were very familiar with the environment around the island and could lead us."

Xiao Moduo glanced at Lord Wang. Lord Wang looked very ordinary, had small eyes, and was thin, and looked very unwilling. He didn't expect that he, a scholar, had thought so much about dealing with water ghosts.

"Mr. Wang is a good official," Xiao Mo said suddenly.

Although he was afraid of death, he did not act as a turtle with his head. He must have had a revenge in his heart and wanted to eliminate the water ghost, otherwise he would not have prepared these things.

Lord Wang was a little embarrassed by the praise from the Prince of Nanyue: "Your Highness has broken me, and my legs are still weak now."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "If this bandit suppression is successful and I will definitely talk more to Lord Wang when I meet the emperor."

Lord Wang was stunned. If the prince of Great Zhou said this, he would be very happy, but the prince of Nanyue said he wanted to speak well for him, and he always felt uneasy.

Seeing Lord Wang being stunned, Xiao Mo knew what he was thinking, and he didn't say much.

If Nanyue raises troops to the Great Zhou in the future, then Jiangzhou is a crucial place, and this canal is the fastest way to reach Lanjing.

Xiao Mo's eyes were slightly sunken. The most powerful navy in the Great Zhou was stationed in Jiangzhou and several large wharves along the canal. Along the line, Lord Wang only had some permanent officers and soldiers, and these people's combat power was too weak and they were not enough to see.

Xiao Mo looked back and saw Lord Wang being in command. He suddenly laughed. This Great Zhou was not that strong either.

…

In the middle of the night, there were only the sound of insects and the sound of wind passing by.

Xie Ming suddenly opened his eyes, went up the tree in a few steps, and looked into the distance.

Then he jumped off the tree and woke Xiao Yi up. Xiao Yi didn't sleep heavily. He was a person who was very particular and could not sleep in such an environment.

"Is there any movement?" Xiao Yi asked.

Xie Ming nodded: "Someone has come to the island."

Xiao Yi smiled: "It must be Xiao Wu and the others. We are also ready to prepare and go out in the chaos later."

Xie Ming nodded and glanced at Yu Weixi next to him. Xie Ming always felt that women were in trouble.

Sure enough, Yu Weixi woke up and looked around in a daze and finally figured out the situation.

"Let's go." Xiao Yi said.

Yu Weixi nodded and said nothing, but liked to pull Xiao Yi's sleeve. Xiao Yi felt that she might be afraid, so she didn't say anything, so she let her pull it.
