Chapter 304: The Man Behind the Scenes

actually!

When a group of water ghosts led by Shui Lai were doing their work, Kaixin got several reminder tasks from the system one after another. The first task was to protect Xu Hong from harm; The task is to capture the leader of the water ghost one by one, Shui Manzi; and then touch the third task, asking the mastermind behind the scenes, "Two choices, either tell the person behind your back...or die!" For similar tasks in the world, Although Kaixin didn't meet many people, he had accumulated enough experience and grasped the key points in an instant. He also firmly grasped the fear of death character that Shui Manzi appeared at the end, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense and destroyed the water man in the most direct way. The morale of the ghost, and then, a cold, emotionless sentence, directly hit Shui Manzi's Achilles heel.

Seeing the silver wolf breaking the emperor sword dripping blood in front of him...

Shui Manzi shuddered, and hastily confessed!

"It's the court navy, General Yang!" "Huh?" Xu Hong's body trembled, and his face became very ugly.

"Nonsense!" Kaixin naturally noticed the reaction of Xu Hong and the others, his eyes turned cold, and the sword light on the Silver Wolf's Emperor Breaking Sword suddenly rose sharply.

"Don't! Really! I didn't lie, it was General Yang, the navy navy of the court, who contacted me, and I still have a token from them..." Shui Manzi was terrified, and he took out a black iron plate tremblingly. Take out everything you know, for fear that the sword will fall on your neck.

A cold river wind blew by, and a group of people on the deck were shocked by Shui Manzi's words for a long time.

turn out to be!

Ever since the Murong family set foot on the salt road business, General Yang repeatedly sent people to secretly contact the Murong family's fleet, expressing their willingness to escort them, but the Murong family rejected them on the grounds that they had enough strength to protect themselves.

But in fact, General Yang is the overlord of the imperial navy in this area!

Take all black and white!

Those who do business seriously will be charged protection fees; if they don't pay, bandits will come to the door soon, making people lose money and lose their lives!

Those who don't have much oil and water, let the bandits clean up by themselves, and pay protection fees every month as usual, which is a talisman for the navy to allow them to operate in this area.

The Murong family obviously didn't know the inside story, once they set foot on this path, they offended General Yang!

but.

The strength of the Murong family is second to none in Gusu.

The countless masters in the family also made General Yang very afraid, and he didn't dare to move easily.

Moreover, the Murong family does have the ability to travel around and protect themselves!

Over the past few years, the Murong family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and sometimes even took the initiative to take over the responsibility of protecting other ships, which made General Yang and the water bandits along the Yangtze River very unhappy.

Some time ago, I heard that the head of the Murong family led a large number of masters to leave Gusu for work in the capital. The cunning water man made a vote.

"Everything I said is true! It's all true! I didn't lie to you!" Shui Manzi knelt on the deck and swore to God.

Happy frowning looked at Xu Hong.

"Deacon Xu, what do you think?" The latter's face was livid and ugly, and he sighed: "These days, I have been walking on the river for several years, and I have heard about General Yang from many businessmen, but I didn’t care about it because we lived in peace all the time. Unexpectedly, he dared to attack our fleet despite the prestige of the Murong family! I must report this matter to the clan and..." "However, if a water bandit It's not convincing enough!" Kaixin glanced at Shui Manzi.

Xu Hong also nodded silently, feeling regretful.

"That's right, no matter whether the imperial court or the people in the rivers and lakes, they will definitely not believe a water bandit's words. Even if they report to the patriarch, they may not be able to deal with a high-ranking court official. He Can..." Stopped here, looking at Xu Hong unwillingly happy but understood what he meant: Although the Murong family is powerful, it is a famous family without official position after all, because the descendants of the former dynasty are very sensitive to their status, and rashly dealing with high-ranking court officials is no less than setting themselves on fire and asking for trouble.

at this time!

Ding!

The system prompts: "Use Shui Manzi as a hostage and invite General Yang to show up! Collect evidence of the collusion between General Yang and the water bandits!" As soon as the system prompt fell, Shui Manzi raised his head cautiously: "Hero, I will tell you everything I know. You guys, now, can you let me go?" "Let you go?" He smiled happily: "If you let you go, how do I know whether what you just said is true or not?" Hearing this, Xu Hong suddenly Showing surprise: "Deacon Happy, what do you mean..." "Just now, those water bandits who ran away should spread the news here. General Yang will definitely know that Shui Manzi fell into our hands. "While talking, he happily took the black iron token in Shui Manzi's hand, and said with a sneer: ... Tell me, can this General Yang still sit on the Diaoyutai? "" Lead the snake out of the hole? "Xu Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed worry: "However, this man surnamed Yang, I heard that he is a master, and the guards around him are also very skilled, with the cultivation of life and death, it is very difficult to deal with. "What about Yang?" " asked happily.

"Peak of Life and Death Realm!" Hearing Xu Hong's answer, Happiness immediately felt at ease: "Then there is no problem." In his opinion, dealing with a group of Life and Death Realm soldiers is not too difficult.

However……

Happy to guess wrong! Big mistake!

Ten miles ahead, the river surface suddenly became smaller, and a large piece of reed appeared in front of the fleet, and the river channel was only less than two hulls wide.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" At the gate of Luwei Town, a group of armored soldiers aggressively rushed away the many players at the gate, spread out the rice paper, and posted a notice in the most conspicuous place of the gate!

Militia call-up order!

The content is as follows: There are hundreds of cunning and vicious water bandits who have robbed a whole fleet of salt boats and are about to pass by this town! Now, this general is solemnly recruiting knights with a kind heart to eliminate evil as the militia, and the soldiers go to the reed beach to ambush the water bandits!

Anyone can join!

If the task is successful, take out a boatload of salt (worth a million taels of silver) as a reward, and award it to all the knights who have killed the head. (Specifically divided, three thousand taels of silver per person) Such notices were posted in several nearby small towns at the same time...

At the same time, all players in several small towns with a radius of dozens of miles received a system prompt at the same time: "Do you respond to General Yang's call to become a militia! Go to the Reed Beach to ambush water bandits! Every time you kill a water bandit, you will get three Do taels of silver! Kill a master of life and death and get 10,000 taels of silver."
