At the border of Xinye, on the edge of the Fei River, there is a small fishing village called Linjiang Village. (Apex novel hand-written novel) North of the village is Du Island.However, because there are water thieves entrenched, the locals call it Thief Island.

The village is not big, with dozens of families and 400 people.Most people in the village live on big fish and are not rich.Perhaps because of poverty, there is no oil and water.Or maybe the rabbit doesn't eat the grass beside the nest.The village has never been attacked by water pirates.

Very stable.The village is very remote, and there are no caravans, or any important people passing by.

However, today, a very cool team entered the village.

In front is a very luxurious carriage, followed by dozens of carriages full of goods.Or camp carts, and two or three hundred guards.

These guards each held a spear and wore leather armor.Big and big.

It was noon at this time, and the fishermen had gone fishing by boat early, and they would not come back for lunch at noon.Therefore, there are only women and children in the village.

The movement of the team passing by was so loud that it almost alarmed the entire village.Many *women came out to watch with their children. When they saw the huge team, the women's original curious eyes were slowly replaced by awe.

They pulled the children one after another and returned to the house.Close the door.

One of them is Guan, a 25-year-old native of a fishing village who married her man at 14 and gave birth to five children.Except for those who died young, there were three still standing.

At this time, she pulled her eldest eight-year-old son and hugged her two-year-old daughter, and hurried into the house, intending to close the door.

However, she hadn't waited for her to close the door.A man about 20 years old separated from the group and rode his horse towards her.

Guan Shi was very timid. Seeing this, he was terrified and wanted to close the door, but in his fright, he forgot to insert the latch.The man walked straight in.

Of course, this man was Xu Tian. Although according to the information, that gang of water thieves rarely robbed caravans, this was the only way to lure snakes out of their holes.

A few days ago, Liu Feng went to Xinye and talked through Mi Zhu.They got thirty salt trucks and planned to pretend to be a caravan to lure water thieves out to rob them.

Salt in the north has always been very expensive. If these thirty carts of goods were transported to the north, they would be worth at least seven hundred gold.The allure should be great.

"You, who are you?" Seeing Xu Tian walking in directly, Guan Shi asked in a sharp voice, feeling even more frightened.

"Sister-in-law, don't panic. My name is Xu Tian, ​​and I'm the owner of a caravan outside. Passing by here, I want to borrow some boats from you to cross the river and head to the north." Xu Tian politely raised his fist and said to Guan.

Xu Tian was good-looking and polite, which calmed Guan down a little.However, he timidly glanced at the huge caravan behind Xu Tian, ​​and whispered: "The men are all gone fishing, if you want a boat, you have to wait until tomorrow. And, moreover, this place is not suitable for crossing the river."

"Why?" Xu Tian asked knowingly.

"To the north of here, there is an island. There are hundreds of water thieves entrenched there." Guan explained in a low voice.

Xu Tian laughed and said, "I have three hundred guards, and hundreds of water thieves are nothing."

Mrs. Guan wanted to say that those water thieves were not even afraid of Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao, so how could they be afraid of you three hundred guards.But seeing Xu Tian's confident expression, he couldn't help swallowing these words.

Guan Shi is not a talkative person, so he just stood by the side, silent in a daze.

"Hehe, I want to camp in the open space near your yard and wait for the men in your village to come back, is that okay?" Seeing this, Xu Tian laughed.

"It's okay, it's okay." Guan Shi was eager for Xu Tian to leave quickly, and said repeatedly after hearing the words.

"Thank you." Xu Tian cupped his fists and said thank you, before leaving the yard.

After Xu Tian left the yard, he immediately ordered the convoy to set up camp and unload the cargo.

Three or four hundred people set up camp on their own.For the women around me, nothing is wronged.

Although some courageous women closed the doors, they were actually lying behind them, watching the caravan secretly through the cracks in the doors.

When the time passed slowly and the caravan showed no malice, the women became more courageous one by one, opened the door, and observed the caravan openly.

For Linjiang Village, such a large caravan passing by is rare in ten years.

At this moment, the camp had already been set up, and the leading luxury carriage slowly drove into the camp.Suddenly, with a "touch", a wooden box fell from the car.

"My pearl." There was a sudden exclamation from the car, and then a middle-aged man stepped down and quickly picked up the wooden box on the ground.Immediately, he opened it carefully and took a look.

The women not far away felt a flash of light, and immediately widened their eyes, staring at the wooden box for a moment.

Inside the box, there are dozens of huge pearls.

After taking a look, the middle-aged man immediately closed the box and walked back into the car.

This is a fishing village, and pearls are occasionally produced in the rivers and rivers. These women can be said to be quite familiar with pearls. Although it is only a short moment, they have already realized the preciousness of these pearls.

Inside the car, Liu Feng took the wooden box from Zhang Dao's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

They spent some time researching the village, and agreed that there were water thieves' eyes and ears in this village.Otherwise, it will not be safe.

Because since the water thieves chose to attack the village under Liu Biao's rule, they would not give up this fishing village because of the so-called rabbit not eating grass beside the nest.

But just now, the bait had been put down.

Even if the temptation of dozens of carts of salt is not enough, plus this box of pearls worth thousands of gold, Liu Feng doesn't believe that he can't catch big fish.

Liu Feng stroked the wooden box in his hand, and couldn't help but think of Mi Shi in the deep house.Although the dozens of pearls Mi's gift could not be sold at a high price, they came in handy.

It's not in vain for her efforts.

It was getting dark, and the fishermen who went fishing in the morning also returned by boat.Although the place where Liu Feng and others camped was relatively remote, such a large camp was still very eye-catching.

In addition, after some men returned home, the women talked vividly about how the caravan entered the village and its purpose.

Someone reported it to the village chief.

The village head of Linjiang Village is a middle-aged man named Zhou Shun, with dark skin and very capable and strong.

In his own courtyard, Zhou Shun listened to a confidant in the tent, a fisherman named Chen Guang, report, especially after knowing that the other party had a box of fine pearls.Zhou Shun lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head suddenly, and said to Chen Guang: "If they want to rent a boat from us, you agree to come on my behalf. I'll go outside."

Go outside for a while.Zhou Shun knew what the purpose was, and so did Chen Guang.

"Yes." Chen Guang replied.
