Chapter 1354 Building Territory
After entering Bin'an County, everyone wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes. A dilapidated and dilapidated county town stood alone in the dense grass.

When I went up to take a look, the county town was completely deserted, and the weeds, small trees, and those wild mice and solitary foxes completely occupied the county town.

If it weren't for the vaguely recognizable city name on the city gate, no one would know what this place is.

"This Bin'an County is too weird, isn't it? Even the county town is deserted?" Dio said with a frown.

Zhou Wen nodded in approval: "Yeah, this place is pretty desolate, right? Ever since we entered Bin'an County, we haven't seen a single person along the way. How can we find Xiaoyu Village?"

Zhao Hu said with a smile: "About 30 kilometers to the east from Bin'an County is Shaji Town, and more than [-] kilometers to the east of Shaji Town is Xiaoyu Village. We calculated the distance and believe that we can find Xiaoyu from the village."

"However, if Shaji Town and Xiaoyu Village are deserted, how can we find them? They are no better than cities. Once they are deserted, we won't even be able to find a ruin." Sun Jie said worriedly.

Zhao Hu laughed again and said, "I don't know if you have noticed that even though the county town is deserted, the main road from the county government to the county town still exists, and this main road still continues forward."

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, everyone looked at the ground.Sure enough, a thick dirt road leads to the distance. Although most of it is covered by weeds, the traces of the carriage driving in the middle are very obvious.

Sun Jie squatted down to check the crushed grass roots in front, raised his head and said, "These grass roots were crushed at most a week ago, that is to say, a large number of carriages passed this road a week ago."

Diou immediately said to Zhao Hu: "My lord, it seems that someone is secretly transporting through this road. Otherwise, no matter how poor you are, there will be no one in the whole county."

Zhao Hu just shook his head helplessly but didn't say anything, what did you ask him to say?Just accepting the territory of a major officer, and provoking the highest civil and military officials of a province, such an unlucky thing came to the door by itself, it is really a headache.

Seeing Zhao Hu's expression, Diou knew that Zhao Hu knew what was in his mind, so he stopped talking. Diou still didn't believe that the other party would dare to send out regular troops to destroy people like himself. Into the eyes of those who have been fighting for a long time.

Anyway, if you don't offend, you will offend, so let's do a good job, maybe you can make a huge contribution.

Sun Jie asked a little confused: "What kind of person is secretly transported here? The other party is really powerful. He can actually empty out the entire county."

"Idiot! You don't have to think about it. It must be the governor of the province and the head of the security division. It's not like you don't know the content of the meeting between the adults and them. Why are you so brainless?" Zhou Wen hated iron and steel Knocking on Sun Jie's head and cursing.

"Oh, big sister, don't hit me anymore. I just didn't think about it for a while. If you hit me again, I will really be an idiot." Sun Jie, covering his head by the door, wailed while dodging. Seeing this scene, everyone laughed.

Diou, who restrained his smile, suggested to Zhao Hu: "My lord, since this is the case, let's be careful and send scouts around, shall we?"

Just as Zhao Hu nodded, the Hei Lang who was following Zhao Hu immediately roared and ran out first.

Seeing that the black wolf disappeared in a blink of an eye, Dio couldn't help saying: "My lord, this black wolf is really the best scout in this dense jungle environment."

Knowing the current situation, Zhao Hu and his party entered the state immediately, and began to scatter around to guard and advance. Only the 120 five newly recruited guards were still a little ignorant and didn't know what to do. Of course, It's just a bit of a resemblance. If it wasn't for being trained from the imperial capital until now, I am afraid that even this resemblance would not exist.

I don't know what's going on, maybe it's because Zhao Hu's appearance was prepared in advance, Zhao Hu didn't encounter any situation all the way, after calculating the distance, he should probably arrive at the place in Shaji Town, after searching carefully, he found a The ruined foundations of the town.

Knowing that you are not going in the wrong direction, continue walking east.

At dusk, after spending more time than searching for the town, everyone finally found the remaining foundation of the village in the grass half a person's height.

"My lord, this should be Xiaoyu Village." Dio said.

"I'm not sure yet. According to what the governor said, the sea is three kilometers ahead, and there is a fishing village near the sea. We can't confirm it until we investigate tomorrow. We can't be caught." Zhao Hu smiled. road.

"Yes, why don't you send someone to investigate while the sky is still visible, and if you ride your horse for three kilometers, you can go back and forth in a while." Dio asked.

"No, everyone is a little tired, let's wait until tomorrow, let's go out together," Zhao Hu said.

"Yes, so camp now?" Dio asked Zhao Hu for instructions, and immediately commanded after getting permission.

Although Zhao Hu said that he was not sure yet, everyone already regarded this place as Zhao Hu's territory in their hearts, so they immediately started work that they hadn't done before camping.

After dinner, everyone went to bed early, and they all wished that tomorrow would come immediately.So just after dawn, everyone has already finished packing.

Zhao Hu left the new guards and most of the servants behind, and only brought five head guards and [-] servants, and rode to the east on horseback. Hei Lang and Liu Bin also followed curiously.

As the horses galloped, everyone could feel the sun rising in front of their eyes. The sun's light appeared in the distance, and the ground also emitted a dazzling light. This scene made everyone understand that the sea level was ahead, otherwise Impossible to see this view.

When the sun rose and stopped dazzling people's eyes, everyone only felt their eyes light up, and the white sandy beach, the emerald green color, and the vast sea immediately appeared in front of them, a sea breeze with a fishy smell, Gently stroking everyone's faces.

Everyone who had never seen the sea was speechless, and their minds were immersed in the vast scenery.

Not to mention that everyone was in a good mood, even Hei Lang, the prairie wolf, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it contentedly.

Only Liu Bin, who came across the ocean from the east, had a look of emotion on his face.

Zhao Hu, who was the first to wake up, woke up everyone with a dry cough, and then everyone looked around and looked at the environment.

"Hey! My lord, look, there are strange marks on the beach here." The restless Sun Jie quickly discovered the strangeness, followed Sun Jie's guidance, and found that the beach washed by the waves was strangely qualified for two rows Dozens of small pits arranged equidistantly extend into the sea.

Diou and the others didn't know what was going on, but Liu Bin said aloud: "There used to be a simple pier here. Although the pillars were pulled out, the other party carefully filled them with sand, but because they were not filled, they were washed away by the waves. The horse's feet were exposed."

Dio said in surprise: "Small pier? Smuggling?!"

Liu Bin nodded: "It should be like this, otherwise there is no way to explain the strange situation along the way."

Zhao Hu was a little puzzled: "Is it very profitable to smuggle?"

Dio said with a serious face: "The profit is amazing. This place is adjacent to the Liberty Alliance. Because the two countries are hostile, some in-demand goods will be taxed heavily. If you smuggle them, you don't have to pay taxes, and some goods that are prohibited from taking out are even more expensive. It can bring huge profits. Cutting off people’s fortunes is bigger than killing their father and taking their wife. It seems that we have caused big trouble this time.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhao Hu nervously, but when they saw Zhao Hu's indifferent smile, they calmed down for some reason.

The minds of servant soldiers are relatively simple. Anyway, they just follow the orders of their masters to fight, nothing special.

But the guards began to fantasize about how to use this opportunity to allow the adults to obtain great merit. After many bloody battles, they have long since cared about whether the enemy is not the enemy. The big deal is death. What is the point?

Among so many people, only Liu Bin is still worried, because among so many people, he may be the only one who understands the power of a huge smuggling group, but seeing the expressions of everyone, he can't deliberately exaggerate. The understanding of Zhao Hu and his group seems that they don't underestimate their opponents. If so, let's take a step forward.

Dio also quickly put aside his worries, and suddenly remembered something, and excitedly said to Zhao Hu: "My lord, the area of ​​your territory is ten kilometers long and wide, and there is no rule that Xiaoyu Village should be the center. , That is to say, we can go from the seaside, through Xiaoyu Village, ten kilometers to the west, and five kilometers to the north and five kilometers to the south of Xiaoyu Village to divide the territory."

As soon as Zhao Hu heard it, he understood that Diou's division in this way was tantamount to taking over the smuggling dock completely.

According to the habits of the smuggling gang, this pier must be the most convenient and best route for the smuggling gang. Now that this route is taken over, it must be very lively.

Zhao Hu's habit is not to offend me.I am not an offender, but it is not considered that he is actively causing trouble. After all, this is indeed his territory. It should be someone else who offended him. Zhao Hu lazy guessed whether the enemy he provoked this time was the one he provoked. Management was handed over to Dio.

Dio was immediately excited, and shouted and commanded the cavalry to start enclosing the land. The encirclement was very simple, that is, a sign was erected at intervals of several hundred meters around the border, and the sign read brightly: "Zhao Hu , the territory of the major of the Imperial Army."
