Shen Yi's simple words made Xue Wei immediately realize the seriousness of the matter.
In this era where culture is generally valued over martial arts, a scholar like Shen Yi may not walk very often, let alone pick up a sword and fight with others, or even get off a sedan chair and walk.
But now, Mr. Shen from the Hanlin Academy has taken the initiative to ask Xue Wei for sword armor.
In other words, tonight, this Hanlin master is ready to fight with others.
Xue Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Hanlin, has it reached this point?"
Shen Yi smiled at him and said, "It's better to be prepared and not need it. If it is used, I don't have to stand there and wait for death, right?"
Xue Wei stood there and thought for a long time, and finally walked out of the camp silently, found a set of armor for Shen Yi, and gave him a knife.
Shen Yi reached out and took the sword armor and said thank you.
Xue Wei turned around silently and went to inspect the camp himself.
Shen Yi also put on this suit of armor and walked around the camp. Then he saw the leader of the Wang family, Wang Chengwang, who was firmly tied up in a tent near a bunch of prison cars in the center of the camp.
The head of the Wang family has been detained for more than a month. After such a long time, he has completely lost his former wealthy appearance. He is described as embarrassed, and his face is sallow, with almost no blood visible.
This month, he really suffered a lot.
Shen Yi, who was dressed in armor, sat opposite Wang Chengwang. He looked at the head of the Wang family carefully, then waved away the guard, moved a chair himself, and sat opposite Wang Chengwang. He looked at the head of the Wang family in front of him and said with some emotion: "Master Wang is really amazing. He can make a group of Japanese pirates so determined to attack the army twice."
Originally, Shen Yi and others found no evidence that the Wang family communicated with Japanese pirates, but after they found out the underground secret rooms of the Wang family bit by bit, they contained accounts related to Japanese pirates. Now, the evidence that the Wang family communicated with Japanese pirates is conclusive.
In other words, there was no need to take them to Jiankang. Li Mu could directly kill them in Linhai County.
And Shen Yi escorted these people out simply to use them as bait.
Mr. Wang raised his head, looked at the young Hanlin officer in front of him, and then sighed: "Shen... Shen Hanlin."
"The imperial court's business tax is too heavy, and our Taizhou Prefecture is not like those big cities. There is nothing we can do..."
What Wang Chengwang said was that he communicated with the Japanese pirates for smuggling.
After all, the ships were robbed by Japanese pirates, so there was no need to pay taxes.
Shen Yi glanced at him and sneered slightly: "Mr. Wang is really putting money on his face. Bandits not only robbed your Wang family's cargo ships, but also robbed other merchants' cargo ships. They also went ashore to rob and kill fishermen. Did it!"
Wang Chengwang looked at Shen Yi and whispered: "Those were all done by the Japanese Japanese. Those Japanese are not civilized and are only interested in profit. When they see weak people, they want to rob and kill people..."
At this point, Wang Chengwang stopped talking.
But the meaning of his words was obvious.
Although the Japanese were cruel, they still wanted to use them to fight against the army, so they could only turn a blind eye to them.
Wang Chengwang paused, looked at Shen Yi, and asked: "Shen Hanlin came here in the middle of the night to see the guilty people. Isn't he here to have a heart-to-heart talk with the guilty people?"
"I'm here to kill people."
Shen Yi looked at the saber on his waist, then at the twenty or so Wang family members in the camp, and said coldly: "The Japanese pirates may be making some moves tonight. If the Japanese pirates really hit the outside of this camp, before they rush in, ,I will take you..."
Shen Yi glanced at the more than twenty Wang family members and said expressionlessly: "Kill them all!"
Shen Yi just finished speaking.
There was a violent explosion outside the camp!
This sound is very familiar, it is the sound of gunpowder!
However, judging from the sound, the explosion was still far away. It must be that the anti-Japanese army scouts encountered the Japanese pirates.
Shen Yi opened the tent, and an anti-Japanese army officer hurried over, raised his hands to Shen Yi and said, "Master Shen, there are Japanese pirates coming from the east!"
Shen Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "According to the previous drill, the shield soldiers and wolf soldiers are in front, the crossbowmen follow, and the swordsman team is last!"
"The battlefield is approaching, General Xue will take command!"
The anti-Japanese army officer immediately nodded and went down to convey Shen Yi's order.
After Shen Yi gave the order, he stepped back to the camp, took out the saber from his waist, held it in his hand, and sat in front of Wang Chengwang with an expressionless face.
Mr. Wang looked at Shen Yi, then at the gleaming long knife in Shen Yi's hand, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Master Shen..."
He lowered his voice and said: "The guilty people want to discuss it with you..."
Shen Yi stood up and looked at him coldly: "What are we discussing?"
Wang Chengwang looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old baby next to him and whispered: "Mr. Shen, the guilty people know that their sins are serious and they don't expect to live anymore, but this child..."
"He knows nothing about the Japanese pirates. He is innocent..."
"As long as Mr. Shen can let him go, Mr. Wang guarantees that Wang Xian will not harm Mr. Shen in the slightest, and he will also give you generous gifts!"
Wang Chengwang said slowly: "As long as the criminals give Wang Xian a message, he can send at least fifty Japanese heads to Master Shen. By then, Master Shen will have driven away the Japanese pirates, cleaned up the coast, and been promoted and made a fortune. Wouldn't it be a good thing? "
Shen Yi sneered: "A little baby, exchanged for fifty Japanese pirates, Mr. Wang is really generous."
He knew in his heart that Wang Chengwang just wanted to leave a heir for the main lineage of the Wang family.
Shen Yi looked at the little boy who was about twelve years old, with an expressionless expression on his face: "This kid may really know nothing about Japanese pirates, but since he was a child, he has been well clothed and well-fed, eating the meat of the people of Taizhou Prefecture, and drinking... The blood of the people of Taizhou Prefecture."
"He deserves to die too."
Mr. Shen said coldly: "If he doesn't die, it won't be enough to deter evil spirits!"
…………
Outside the camp, the anti-Japanese army had already met the Japanese pirates head-on.
Although these anti-Japanese troops have only been in the army for a short time, they have practiced more than once what to do when encountering Japanese pirates. Even during daily training, ordinary people will pretend to be Japanese pirates with Japanese swords and practice with their other half.
However, training is training, and actual combat is actual combat. Now the ferocious Japanese pirates rushed in front of them, and these young anti-Japanese soldiers were inevitably frightened.
Fortunately, Xue Wei is not afraid.
This young general with a muscular body led a group of people and took out a wolf chopper from the cart towed behind the prison van.
There were thirty wolf whisks in total, and they were quickly distributed to everyone.
This thing is very heavy and requires a strong person to move it.
Xue Wei took a handful in his hand, distributed the rest of the wolves, and then led these thirty people to attack the Japanese pirates: "Brothers, follow me!"
"Follow the shield bearer!"
"Follow the crossbowmen!"
In the dark of night, thirty wolf soldiers and forty or fifty Japanese pirate forwards came together!
The Japanese pirates clashed with the officers and soldiers not once or twice. When they saw this, they were not afraid. They drew their Japanese swords directly, screamed a few times, and rushed forward!
After a confrontation between the two sides, these Japanese pirates realized something was wrong!
Because no matter which direction their swords are slashing from, they will be held up by a strange-shaped weapon. When they want to draw the sword and then slash, the other party will turn the strange weapon and the sword in their hand will not be drawn out.
Sometimes they even give up!
At this time, this weird weapon came up to fight. With just one encounter, six or seven Japanese pirates were knocked to the ground, and were immediately hit by the anti-Japanese soldiers!
Under the light of the torch, these Japanese pirates finally saw what this weapon looked like!
The handle is very long, seven or eight feet or even ten feet long.
The head of the handle is made of iron like a tree branch, and some of it is polished and polished, making it look very scary.
When these wolf soldiers saw that the Japanese pirates could not hurt them at all, they immediately retreated from the fear in their hearts and attacked them with loud shouts.
At this moment, a voice came from the array of Japanese pirates.
