Mingzhu couldn't bear the tragic death of the water bandits, but at the same time, she knew that those people were bad people and extremely evil people.
"Sir, the enemy has been completely wiped out!"
At this time, Zahoor came to Muchuan's side and reported the report very respectfully.
Muchuan nodded lightly. Indeed, seeing Liu Heihu and his gang of water bandits being wiped out so quickly, his mood rarely became clearer.
"Zahoor, will our loss be great?"
Muchuan turned his head and asked.
"It's not big. Our ship didn't receive much impact at all, so it's safe and sound. Only a few ropes on the mast were broken, and they just need to be remade. As for the casualties, only three unlucky guys were killed, and most of the others were injured.
It’s a minor injury.”
Zahoor sounded a little proud when he reported.
He was also confident and proud. Just now they were besieged by three or four times the number of enemies.
As a result, he didn't lose much at all, but they were completely annihilated.
With such a record, even he, who has always had a calm temperament, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"That's good, the fallen soldiers will be buried with honors! Notify the ship boss and ask them to sail the ship out of here as soon as possible, find a land to repair for a day, and then set off on the road tomorrow."
After all, everyone was still a little tired after a big battle.
The three unlucky ones also need to find a place to be cremated, at least the whole body cannot be taken away.
The weather is so hot, and if you bring a body with you, something could easily happen.
"Well, I'll make arrangements right away!"
Zahoor immediately went to deliver Muchuan's order.
Even if there is no accident in the entire fleet, it still needs to be cleaned up.
The ship's boss and a group of sailors had seen Liu Heihu's water bandits being wiped out by Muchuan and the Ghost Face Army, completely wiped out.
All of them were very excited and felt a sense of joy in surviving the disaster.
When Zahoor came to deliver Muchuan's order, the ship's boss and the sailors readily agreed and immediately began to steer the fleet away from the dangerous area of Eighteen Bends.
They had been blocked once before, and now they were even more eager to leave this relatively dangerous place.
After the ship left the eighteenth bend, they found a more suitable place to dock and stop.
Muchuan took Mingzhu and Sophia off the boat to rest.
The most important thing is to participate in the cremation ceremony of three ghost-faced weapons in the evening.
This is a good way to boost the morale of the Ghost Face Army and win over their hearts.
The same ghost-faced soldiers also felt warmed by Muchuan's kindness in waiting for each of their injured soldiers.
The sense of belonging and identification with Muchuan has become stronger.
…
When Muchuan and the others packed their bags in the early morning, the fleet set off again.
The news of Liu Heihu's water bandit's destruction also spread quickly back.
The head of the Wang family branch was the first to receive the news, and what followed was a tantrum in the study room where he smashed a lot of things.
Even late at night there were angry scoldings.
Soon after, Zhao Feng and Ge Qingming also learned that the first wave of operations had failed.
Although they had been prepared, both the head of the Wang family and they actually had great expectations for Liu Heihu.
I even think Liu Heihu can succeed.
But what?
It failed in the end!
They do still have a few back-ups, but those were originally preparations for making amends.
No wonder the head of the Wang family was so angry in the study after hearing the news.
"Zhao Feng, do you think the aristocratic families can succeed?"
Ge Qingming rarely invited Zhao Feng into the back hall again.
But now the identity relationship between the two people has changed.
In the past, Zhao Feng was Ge Qingming's staff, that is, Ge Qingming's subordinate. Now Zhao Feng has nothing to do with Ge Qingming.
And Ge Qingming also disliked Zhao Feng very much.
But no matter how much Ge Qingming hates Zhao Feng, now the two of them are people in the same boat, grasshoppers on the same rope.
So we still gathered together.
Besides, Ge Qingming might be really confused as he gets older, so he still has to ask Zhao Feng about some things.
Even if you hate Zhao Feng and don't accept some of Zhao Feng's suggestions, you can still give him some reminders and tips.
"Lord County Magistrate, even if Liu Heihu fails now, don't forget that the family masters have not just prepared one, but there are many back-ups behind them. Besides, they are not afraid of thieves stealing, but they are worried about them, even if Muchuan is worried again
It's amazing. If you keep being beaten passively, you will always have flaws."
Zhao Feng said without thinking.
"So, are you optimistic?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Feng felt very guilty when he answered.
That’s right, it’s just a guilty conscience!
Even though he seemed to really trust the people of the noble family, after he got the news of Liu Heihu's demise, he became frightened.
That's Muchuan!
Even though he was so fully prepared, he still didn't succeed. Instead, Liu Heihu was destroyed. So would the prepared back-up plan be able to succeed?
If they also failed one after another and Muchuan returned to Chang'an City, he would in turn have to settle accounts with the aristocratic family.
Can the noble family stop Muchuan?
If there was still hope for Muchuan in the past, if Muchuan really gets mad now, the family might not be able to stop him.
After all, the foundation of the family has been dug up a lot by Muchuan in the past two years.
Those foundations are the reason why their family can stand on this land for thousands of years.
If the aristocratic family cannot stop it, then they, the little shrimps, will be doomed.
He was afraid that he would be pushed to the market entrance and beheaded, or that his whole family would suffer.
Ge Qingming doesn't want to cause trouble as he gets older, and is used to being a wallflower, a smooth person, and even a little confused sometimes.
However, it was rare that he was not confused today. He stared at Zhao Feng's face for a long time before he said, "Zhao Feng, what do you think will happen to us if everything fails?"
"ah?
fail?
No, no, no, it can't fail. Your Majesty, you are too worried..."
"Really? Then Mr. Zhao, why are you sweating?"
Ge Qingming picked up the tea cup and casually interrupted Zhao Feng's words.
Zhao Feng suddenly felt a little stiff all over while sitting on the chair.
"I'm hot."
"Mr. Zhao, do you think this county magistrate is really old and confused?"
Ge Qingming pressed forward step by step, and the sharpness in his eyes made Zhao Feng feel a little uneasy.
boom!
Zhao Feng slapped the table and said bluntly: "Magistrate Ge, don't you have other options? Do you still plan to tip off the news?
We are all grasshoppers on a rope now. We have been tied to death and cannot get off at all. Do you think you can get off the boat?"
Zhao Feng's continuous rhetorical questions indeed left Ge Qingming speechless.
Indeed, could it be that you knew you could get off the ship now without insurance?
It is estimated that people from the aristocratic family will not let me go before I get off the boat.
