"Master, a group of men in black with unknown origins are coming to kill you. You must not go out, my brother and the others are resisting." Zhan Junru said with a panic look on his face.
Tang Ling quickly put on his saber, took his bow and went out.
Although the moonlight at night was not bad, the scene was too chaotic. Zhan Dongwen and the nursing staff were fighting fiercely with a group of people.
Zhang Kui was guarding the old lady's tent, and Li Quan was guarding in front of Tang Wen's tent.
"Master, you can't go." As soon as Tang Wen came out of the tent, Li Quan quickly stopped in front of him and said.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of them. If someone attacks the tent, use your bow to kill them," Tang Wen said.
After all, it was night, and it was difficult for others to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, but Tang Wen discovered a strange place.
All of the servants of the Tang family have a sign of popularity on their heads, and that trace of popularity is particularly eye-catching at night, like fluorescent lights that can be seen from a long distance.
You can tell at a glance who is one of your own and who is an intruder.
Therefore, he specifically picked out guys who had no reputation for risking their lives.
Tang Wen was a famous medical expert in his previous life, but he was also a military enthusiast. He was invited by the International Special Forces Headquarters to serve as a field doctor.
At that time, I was asked to train with them for a year and participate in some missions, so I had some experience.
In addition, this body had been trained in martial arts for ten years, and it was equipped with a special lightweight synthetic silk bulletproof vest, which Luo Jun got for him.
Walking on the floating willow steps, he shuttled through the chaotic crowd like a ghost.
If the opponent strikes him with a knife, it will not hurt him, but if he comes over and kills you.
In just a few minutes, four or five robbers fell to the ground, and the remaining ten or so were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
At this time, dozens of torches were lit.
"Master, five or six of our people were injured," Zhan Dongwen said.
"Hurry up and carry it into the tent to bandage it for treatment." Tang Wen said, and it took him a while to finish bandaging it.
However, two house slaves died of excessive bleeding.
"Ten of the opponents died, and all the others ran away." After Tang Wen finished his work, Zhan Dongwen came over and said.
"Master, I chased two of them, and I killed one. I originally wanted to capture the other alive, but unfortunately, he jumped into the sea and ran away." At this time, Zhao Du ran back panting and said.
"Who is the other party?" Tang Wen asked with a cold face.
"We can't find anything. Apart from weapons and clothes, there is nothing on them that can prove their identity." Zhan Dongwen shook his head.
"It must be a pirate!" said Bu Feng, another strong man who had just joined the Tang family along with Zhao Du.
This person has the strength of the ninth level, and Zhao Du has the highest skill among the Tang family's slaves, so he should have the perfect strength of the ninth level.
However, when I sold myself last time, I did not perform well in moving the iron locks. That was due to long-term lack of enough food and malnutrition.
As long as he has food to eat and a few days of nursing, he can regain his strength.
"Did you see the boat?" Tang Wen asked.
"Not at all." Bu Feng shook his head.
"I chased for more than ten miles just now, but I didn't find any ships." Zhao Du said.
"Could it be that you came from Shiqiao?" Bu Feng asked.
"That's generally impossible. The pirates have ships, so they will definitely come with them and escape easily when encountering officers and soldiers. Of course, Koh Samui is not a small island, so we can't rule out that they hid the ship somewhere," Tang Wen said.
"Master, tomorrow I will lead a group of people to search the entire Paradise Island and catch those who escaped." Zhao Du said.
"It's not necessary for the time being. We don't have enough manpower, let alone spreading it out.
Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that someone else did it.
For example, those people who took over my Tang family’s land.
I'm afraid that if the land is taken back by my Tang family, they will be cruel to me." Tang Wen shook his head slightly.
“But it’s not very safe like this. What if it comes again at night?
We can't afford to be hurt, let alone die.
If a few more die, they will probably scare away the people who come to seek refuge with us." Zhan Dongwen said with a worried look.
"We need to strengthen our defense tomorrow. I have brought back a batch of barbed wire and will arrange for someone to cut down some trees and insert them into the ground tomorrow.
Tie the barbed wire to the wood and surround our entire camp. Just leave a few people to guard the door.
By then, even the second group of people will attack us.
At least they have to get through the barbed wire fence first," Tang Wen said.
"Iron is too expensive. Even the camps where officers and soldiers live cannot be defended with iron frames. They are often surrounded by wooden fences. Watchtowers are built and people are sent to stand guard." Zhao Du said.
"Master, we'd better form a group of archers. If there is a wooden fence around it and someone attacks us, we can shoot them to death with arrows." Bu Feng said.
After all, it is impossible for these guys to imagine a modern border wall with barbed wire.
Tang Wen took them directly into the 'warehouse' and showed off his barbed wire fence, which was all made of thick wire and rolled into rolls. When unrolled, it was more than four meters high.
If the opponent doesn't have a black cannon, it will be difficult to break through even with a blunderbuss.
Of course, large-sized sheet pliers have not yet been invented in Chu State, otherwise, the barbed wire fence would not be of much use.
Zhao Du and others worked hard to tear it apart for a while, but the barbed wire was only slightly deformed, which made everyone marvel.
"It will be much easier to handle with it. Then, build a wooden watchtower every few dozen meters to facilitate attack and defense." Zhan Dongwen suggested.
"Then it will be our camp." Zhao Du laughed.
After breakfast, Tang Wen gathered everyone in the open space in front of the tent.
The corpses of the two slaves who died in the battle were placed on the door panel in front of them. Their wives and children lay on top of the corpses and cried loudly.
"Everyone, I, Tang Wen, have been serving porridge for a few days, and I have also welcomed you brothers and sisters.
We have food to eat, clothing to wear, and a place to live. We no longer have to go hungry, suffer from cold, or sleep on the ground.
But some people don't want to see us live a good life. Last night, robbers actually broke in and tried to steal our food and clothing.
They are robbing us of our jobs. Without food and clothing, we will starve and freeze to death, or be killed by them.
These people have committed heinous crimes, what do you think we should do?" Tang Wen straightened his back and asked loudly.
"Kill them."
"Broken into pieces!"
"Report to the official!"
…
Suddenly, the crowd became excited.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Tang Wen reached out and pressed the button. Suddenly, the noisy voice stopped again.
"You're right! If we want to live a good life, we can't let their conspiracy succeed!" Tang Wen roared, and then walked to the two corpses.
With a look of grief on his face, he bowed three times to the corpse and said, "You sold yourself to my Tang family and you were murdered just one day ago. Don't worry, I, Tang Wen, will definitely avenge you."
After speaking, Tang Wen walked over, gently supported their wives and said, "They died for our Tang family, and our Tang family will never treat you badly. Jun Ru, bring the money."
Zhan Junru looked sad and walked slowly over with two hundred taels of silver on a tray.
"Sister-in-law, one hundred taels each, this is the Tang family's wishes.
If you don't want to live in the Tang family anymore, I can send a carriage to take you out of the island.
In addition, I will give you an additional ten bushels of rice." Tang Wen gave the money to the two widows.
"Master Tang, if we don't leave, we will sell ourselves to the Tang family, including my children.
We don’t want a penny, we will all be slaves of the Tang family from now on, and we want to avenge our husband.
Mr. Tang, please keep these one hundred taels of silver for us first, and we can pick them up when we need them."
Tian Xiuer, a family member of the deceased, knelt down, hugged Tang Wen's thigh tightly and cried.
"Yes! From now on, my whole family will be slaves of the Tang family.
Please Master Tang, avenge my husband Sun Wang, take revenge!
I, Zhou Xue, will repay Master Tang's kindness even if I am a cow or a horse."
Another family member knelt down and hugged Tang Wen's other thigh and cried.
"Dad, we want to avenge you, revenge! Master Tang..." Suddenly, the four children cried together, and many of them were wiping their tears.
"You are right, our people cannot die in vain. We must unite as one, and we will fight to the end whoever takes our jobs." Zhao Du waved his fist.
"Master Tang is our food and clothing parent, we listen to Master Tang!" Zhan Dongwen waved his hands and shouted, giving a perfect assist.
