Ma San reached out angrily and slapped away the young man's stretched out hand, then looked around at his companions around him and said in a very serious tone: "Don't worry about how incredible what I said is, you just need to remember , I will not joke with my life, nor will I think of harming you! In short, you believe me, I dare to swear to God, what I say is true. Once you have done this, you will You will believe that everything I say is true!”

Scarface saw it, with a serious look on his face, and finally nodded and said: "Brother Ma San, I believe you!"

"Brother Ma San, my life belongs to you, just do whatever you say!" The young man also expressed his stance.

Several other people looked at each other, thinking about Ma San's past conduct and performance, and finally nodded.

When Ma San saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. It is impossible for him to save people by himself, but with these seven or eight brothers, he is sure to give it a try. So they immediately started planning to save people.

In winter, the daylight hours are very short, and it will be evening soon, and it will be dark in half an hour. On a remote coast, a dense number of ships suddenly approached. These were naturally the pirates brought by Xu Xiang.

The pirates noisily lowered small boats from the big ship to land, and those small boats drove to the shore, throwing people ashore one by one. Suddenly, the place became noisy. Even though Xu Xiang had given orders not to make any noise, he could not suppress the noise.

Not long after, a group of Xu Xiang's confidants rushed to a nearby hilltop as soon as they landed. They saw two civilians lying in the lookout post here. They were already dead. , and then I felt relieved.

This place is not far from the county seat. Therefore, the government has a lookout post here. If there is any movement, fireworks will be set off to inform the county seat. After sending a safe signal, the number of pirates on the coast continued to increase. Xu Xiang looked at these on his flagship and felt extremely happy.

You know, although there are many others, it is still not easy to conquer the county. If he can cooperate with others to capture a county this time, he will not only be able to rob a large amount of property and plunder a large number of people, but Liu Xiang's prestige will also be greatly improved. In this way, his strength will definitely become stronger and stronger!

When it was getting dark, all the pirates who were supposed to go ashore had already come ashore. The coastline was densely packed with pirates holding swords and guns, standing casually without any formation. But pirates are like that, and it is impossible to hope to form a military formation. Xu Xiang didn't take it seriously, looked at the time, and ordered to head towards the county seat.

At the same time, on the official road more than ten miles away from the county seat, groups of officers and soldiers were also in a hurry. It can be seen that these officers and soldiers are all relatively tall. On the flag headed by them, there is a big "Liu" embroidered on the flag. This army was the direct descendant of Sun Chuanting, Liu Daneng's Northern Army.

"Report, this place is still fifteen miles away from the county seat." A man returned with his fast horse overnight and reported to Liu Daneng who was riding the horse, "There is no trace of pirates found in the county seat."

Upon hearing this, Liu Daneng turned to look at the team behind him, frowned slightly, and ordered the entire army to rest temporarily.

"Master, could it be that the pirates didn't come here?" One of his personal guards guessed. In this case, not to mention that there is no chance to make meritorious service, and the trip will be in vain, which is really unlucky!

Liu Daneng was a little annoyed after hearing this. Sun Zhongcheng had previously estimated that the Xuxiang pirates would most likely come to attack this county. Therefore, he was sent here, while Sun Zhongcheng led other miscellaneous troops to personally supervise the formation and went to rescue another county that might be attacked.

He looked up at the sky. It would be dark soon. However, the moon is big enough, and we can travel in the dark, but the county town is definitely not allowed to enter, so we have to camp outside and spend the night.

Just as he was thinking this, another horse suddenly came galloping in regardless of the dark sky. As soon as he reached the commander's flag, he rolled off his saddle and fell off the horse. He looked a little excited and reported: "Pirates were found three miles away from the county town. It is estimated that there are as many as seven or eight thousand people!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became excited. It seemed that this trip was not in vain. Even Liu Daneng's personal guards stood up immediately and were ready to set off.

But who would have expected that after Liu Daneng was equally excited, he did not immediately order a rescue operation. Instead, he continued to sit there and did not move. He just ordered Ye Buzai in front of him: "Explore again!"

If you don't accept the order at night, leave immediately. However, his personal guard was puzzled and quickly reminded Liu Daneng: "Master, we are still a little way from the county seat. We have to leave early to get there in time."

When Liu Daneng heard this, he glanced at him and said, "What's the rush? If we don't let our brothers rest, how can we start a war with twice as many enemies?"

When the guard heard this, he was about to say that the brothers were in good condition and should not be tired, but when he saw Liu Daneng's expression, he thought of something and shut up.

Indeed, with the current state of Liu Daneng's army, there is still plenty of strength left. However, Liu Daneng had a secret order from Sun Chuanting, but he remembered clearly that Sun Zhongcheng had told him before he left that the county must be rescued, but the focus was to inflict heavy damage on Liu Xiang, the pirate.

Liu Xiang took advantage of Zheng Zhilong's absence, and Franji and the Dutch also went to Nanyang. No one suppressed him and annexed other small pirates. His strength grew a lot and he became the largest pirate on the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Judging from today's events, this Xu Xiang is a ruthless person who will never be recruited by the court, and he is also eyeing the fat after Kaihai. If we want to open the sea smoothly and allow merchants to trade from north to south with confidence, this Xu Xiang must be eliminated!

This time he came out in full force, which was a good opportunity to annihilate him on the shore. How could a ruthless man like Sun Chuanting be content to listen to Emperor Chongzhen and just save the county? Therefore, he did not send a messenger in advance to alert the county. Otherwise, the messenger would be riding faster, which would definitely be much faster than the army marching.

After discovering the traces of the pirates, the number of people who reported the news increased a lot. They came and went, and news was reported to Liu Daneng from time to time. Liu Daneng controlled the marching speed of the army based on the progress of the pirates in the county town.

On the night of New Year's Eve, there were sounds of firecrackers being set off from time to time in the county town. On this day, the curfew was also postponed than before. There are many more lights in the county than at the same time in the past. Laughter and laughter could be heard from time to time, making the county town a little more popular and peaceful at night.

On the south gate of the county town, two lanterns were suddenly hung side by side, which was obviously different from other lanterns hanging one or two feet apart.

The next chapter will be at noon
