Chapter 453 Mr. Wang is a good official

After the three came out, they ran for a long distance in one direction before stopping.

Xie Ming said: "Young master, this is a small island, only one side is a river, the back is a cliff, and the two sides are forests. We can't escape, and we will be found sooner or later."

Xiao Yi looked at the woods behind him and said, "Find a place to hide first. I'm missing. Xiao Wu and the others will come to look for it. It's been a day now, and they should be here soon."

Xie Ming said: "What if Fifth Lord can't find us?"

Xiao Yi looked into the distance, taking it for granted: "He can't find it? Why can't he find it? How hard is it to find it?"

Xie Ming was taken aback.

Xiao Yixin said, how long has Wangyuemen let him operate, if he can't be found, Xiao Mo can go back to Nanyue to feed the pigs.

He wasn't worried at all.

Xie Ming didn't ask any more questions.

Yu Weixi followed Xiao Yi closely without saying anything.

The three of them entered the forest. The forest was too big, and they dared not go deep into the forest. Once they got lost, the survival methods mentioned in the book were all nonsense. The trees in the forest were tall and dense, and the sun must be invisible. The Big Dipper I can't see it, so once I enter the old forest with tall and dense trees, I can only wait to die.

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

Xiao Yi leaned against the tree to figure something out, while Xie Ming was wiping his dagger. This dagger was bought for him by Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi gave it to Xie Ming without hesitation.

Xie Ming likes it very much.

Yu Weixi sat quietly, wondering if she thought of her grandfather.

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

Xiao Yi said: "Forget it, you can't die of starvation after one meal or two, and it will be troublesome if you get separated. Besides, once we bake something, we will be found out soon."

Only then did Xie Ming give up his thoughts.

And Xiao Mo got the news in the morning, and arrived outside the island in the afternoon.

With him was an adult surnamed Wang.

Mr. Wang was born in the imperial examination, and he only knows a thing or two about fighting bandits.

He just took office last year, who would have thought that he would be so unlucky, he encountered a severe drought in Huizhou, and the number of water ghosts soared, so he didn't pay attention to the court at all.

Moreover, Dazhou does not rely on the sea, and the development of the navy is limited. The regular navy is stationed at the big wharf, and Mr. Wang's place is a delta around the canal. The fighting power of the army is weak, which also leads to rampant canal water bandits.

Mr. Wang was very anxious, who knew that the water ghost would kidnap the fourth prince of Nanyue by such a coincidence?In case something happened to the prince, and it happened on his ground, then the higher-ups would definitely use him as a scapegoat.

Mr. Wang said worriedly: "This island is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter."

Xiao Mo asked, "How many people are there on Mr. Wang's side?"

"three hundred."

"What about the water bandits?"

"More than 500."

What Mr. Wang said was a conservative estimate, in fact, it should be a little more.

Xiao Mo took a look at Lord Wang's soldiers, although the quality was a bit poor, but fortunately they knew how to use water, so it would be no problem to go ashore to kill a few water bandits.

And Xiao Mo also brought the guards from the Nanyue Mansion. These guards are of a much higher level, they can swim, and their combat effectiveness is not weak, but there are few people.

Calculated in this way, the number of people is actually about the same, but the water ghosts are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are relatively passive.

Xiao Mo took a look at the map of the island, and quickly made a strategic plan.

Mr. Wang was still worried, but Xiao Mo patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wang, tonight's battle is a matter of life and death for you. Mr. Wang still needs to show the courage to stand on end."

Mr. Wang is not an idiot either. Although he is a literati, he has integrity and understands the meaning of Xiao Mo's words, so he nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Fifth Highness, no one wants His Highness Yi Xiang to have an accident on the island."

And these water bandits who are causing trouble in the village, he has long wanted to get rid of them and hurry up.

Xiao Mo's attitude towards Mr. Wang changed a little bit.

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

Daren Wang said: "That's not a problem. He developed one before. He used to be a fisherman on the island. Later, the island was taken over by water ghosts, and his family members were all killed by water ghosts. He hated water ghosts so much that he could do our guide."

After speaking, Master Wang added: "In addition, we also found a few fishermen. Although they have never been to the island, they are very familiar with the surrounding environment of the island and can guide us."

Xiao Mo took a look at Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang was very ordinary-looking, with small eyes and a thin person. He looked very lacklustre, but he didn't expect that he, a literati, would think so much about dealing with water ghosts.

"Lord Wang is a good official." Xiao Mo said suddenly.

Although he was afraid of death, he didn't act like a turtle. He must have revenge in his heart and wanted to eradicate the water ghost, otherwise he wouldn't have prepared these things.

Mr. Wang was a bit embarrassed to be praised by the Nanyue prince: "Your Highness has beaten me, my legs are still weak now."

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "If the suppression of bandits is successful this time, when I meet the emperor, I will definitely speak more for Lord Wang."

Mr. Wang was taken aback for a moment. If Prince Dazhou said this, he would be very happy, but Prince Nanyue said that he would speak well for him, he always felt uneasy.

Seeing Mr. Wang blankly, Xiao Mo knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say much.

If South Vietnam raises troops against the Great Zhou in the future, then Jiangzhou is a crucial place, and this canal is the fastest way to approach Lanjing.

Xiao Mo's eyes darkened slightly. The most powerful naval forces of the Great Zhou were stationed in Jiangzhou, as well as several large piers along the canal. Along the line, there were only some permanent officers and soldiers like Mr. Wang here.

Xiao Mo looked back, and saw that Mr. Wang was directing people, he suddenly smiled, this Great Zhou is actually not that powerful.

...

In the middle of the night, there was only the sound of insects and the whistling wind around.

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

Then he jumped off the tree and woke Xiao Yi up with a pat. Xiao Yi didn't sleep deeply. He is a fastidious person, and he couldn't fall asleep at all in this environment.

"Is there any movement?" Xiao Yi asked.

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

Xiao Yi smiled: "It must be Xiao Wu and the others, we are also preparing to go out in a while while taking advantage of the chaos."

Xie Ming nodded and glanced at Yu Weixi next to him. Xie Ming always thought that women were troublesome.

Sure enough, Yu Weixi woke up, glanced around blankly, and finally figured out the situation.

"Let's go." Xiao Yi said.

Yu Weixi nodded and didn't say much, but liked to pull Xiao Yi's sleeve. Xiao Yi thought she might be afraid, so he didn't say much, and let her pull.
