In the port of Kinmen, the fleet of three pirates, after being surrounded by the official fleet, shouted for surrender.

Some pirates did not believe in the imperial court and wanted to slip away in small boats, but without exception, they were all overturned by the large ships of the official army. After Hu Zongxian gave the order, the officers and soldiers fired a volley of arrows and muskets, shooting and killing all the Japanese who capsized and fell into the water.

This is Hu Zongxian's attitude, he can recruit these Japanese robbers, give them a chance to mend their ways, and at the same time enrich their combat strength. But Hu Zongxian's tolerance was very low, and all he wanted was those cowardly and obedient Japanese captives.

The widows, who were a little more bold and refused to surrender, were regarded by Hu Zongxian as "wild and difficult to train" and were shot to death.

Hu Zongxian killed Xu Hai for probably this reason. Leaving Xu Hai can certainly have one more general, but Xu Hai's mind is undecided, and the possibility of rebellion is very high, once Xu Hai rebels again, the emperor's accountability, and the impeachment of Yushitai are absolutely unbearable for Hu Zongxian.

After a period of confrontation, some pirates finally began to obey the orders of the officers and soldiers, dropped their weapons, and knelt on the deck with their heads in their hands and surrendered.

The main reason is that the important figures of the pirates are on Kinmen Island, and the pirates who died and surrendered, and the pirates who stayed in the port were most of them not qualified to participate in the three gatherings, and their status was so low that it was conceivable, and now they were in a state of leaderlessness in the group of "dragons", and when they heard the news that the leaders had been ambushed, of course they lost the courage to resist the imperial court.

After tossing for more than an hour, this large-scale surrender finally came to an end, and Hu Zongxian captured thousands of Japanese prisoners.

Killing the three general leaders of the Japanese Invaders and capturing thousands of elite Japanese Invaders was quite a great achievement, and Hu Zongxian was also full of ambition, twisting his beard and smiling, and accepting the compliments and congratulations of the generals on the boat.

Suddenly, a pro-soldier trotted over and whispered something to Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian's face sank slightly, nodded and said, "Bring her over." ”

After a while, several soldiers of the Ming army came to Hu Zongxian's flagship ship with a beautiful woman.

Bai Xiaowen recognized it, this woman was Wang Cuiqiao he had seen once.

Wang Cuiqiao's face was a little pale, and she bowed down to Hu Zongxian: "Your Excellency, why don't you see my husband? The concubine is on the boat, and I heard the officials and soldiers shouting that the three thieves and chieftains have all been ambushed...... Dare to ask the Governor, where is my husband Xu Hai?"

Hu Zongxian coughed and did not answer.

A military general of the Ming army named Lu Bo snorted coldly: "Xu Hai's thief is not dead, and he has already been ambushed. ”

Wang Cuiqiao was stunned.

Hu Zongxian said gently: "Wang Cuiqiao, you are a native of Jiaxing, although you live in the sect, you are also a citizen of my Ming Dynasty. Xu Hai is a rebellious widow who forcibly took you captive, so why should you die for him?"

Wang Cuiqiao's lips did not have a trace of blood: "...... Ask the Governor to allow the concubine to collect Xu Hai's body. The concubine's body is full of hope, and she only wants to grow old under the ancient Buddha of the green light. ”

"Xu Hai's head is going to arrive in Beijing to report the victory, this kind of giant does not know how many lives there are on his hands, and the violent corpse wilderness is not enough to vent the anger of the people, and no one is allowed to bury him!" Hu Zongxian snorted, seeing that Wang Cuiqiao's face was bloodless, his tone turned soft, and said, "You don't have to be afraid, this official knows that you have not done evil, and you will not be affected by Xu Hai's connection, I will ensure that you will have no worries for the rest of your life." ”

Hu Zongxian beckoned to the side, and a middle-aged man with a talented appearance walked over and saluted Hu Zongxian: "Meet Lord Dugong." ”

"Luo ...... Mr. Luo?" Wang Cuiqiao said in surprise.

That person was Luo Longwen, a talented man who had dealt with Bai Xiaowen, who had already changed out of a tattered robe at this time, and his whole body was completely new, from a down-and-out pirate to a well-dressed soldier.

Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "Miss Wang, you and Luo Longwen are old acquaintances, he was poor in the early years, and you sponsored him to take the exam while he was still in the boudoir, this fate is not shallow." It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and your father has been sinned, and you have been thrown into the dust together. Later, Xu Hai broke the city and took you captive, it is the disaster that does not go alone, there are not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters!"

Hu Zongxian was like a storyteller, rapping a lot, pausing and continuing, "There is a saying that 'it is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover'. After Luo Longwen took the Xiucai exam, he heard that you were snatched away by Xu Hai, but he gave up his fame and future, and took the initiative to find his official and was willing to be a master. Later, Mr. Wen Chang and I formulated a plan to go undercover and wait for an opportunity to divide the situation, and Luo Longwen took the initiative to ask Ying to join Xu Hai's command regardless of his safety, just to find you. ”

The people on the boat, after listening to these twists and turns, were full of emotion. Some people praise Luo Xiu's deep affection, and some people sigh that Luo and Wang have a lot of good things, of course, everyone figured out the meaning of Hu Zongxian's words, and they still scolded Xu Hai the most.

But isn't it, if there is no Xu Hai to insert a lever, Luo Longwen will continue to rush for the exam, and after raising people in high school and even entering the Shishi, he will return to his hometown in fine clothes, and then pick up Wang Cuiqiao, who has become a famous prostitute in Hangzhou, from the Qinglou, wouldn't it be a happy ending?

Of course, the current ending is not bad, Luo Longwen has made a lot of meritorious achievements, with Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, as the backing, and then go to the scientific examination, the title of the gold list will be much easier, and there are also beautiful wives and beautiful relatives. And after the story of him and Wang Cuiqiao has a villain like Xu Hai, it can be written into a drama script and circulated for thousands of years.

Hu Zongxian stroked his beard and smiled: "Miss Wang, you have followed Master Luo from now on...... No, Luo Xiucai went back to Jiaxing, waiting for him to earn a life for you to come back, isn't it much better than following Xu Hai to be frightened?"

Luo Longwen was a little flustered. He wanted to say something, but when he raised his eyes and saw Wang Cui's pale face, his throat was suddenly blocked, and he couldn't say a word.

Wang Cuiqiao smiled sadly: "It turns out that all this is fake. ”

"Huh?"

In everyone's expectation, Wang Cuiqiao threw herself into her arms, and Luo Xiucai hugged the beauty without happening, they were all stunned, and the boat was quiet for a while.

Wang Cuiqiao didn't look at Luo Longwen, only looked at Hu Zongxian:

"Hu Zongxian, you are good at killing people who have surrendered, where did you put the Heavenly Dao?"

Hu Zongxian was called by his name, and he was a little annoyed for a while.

Before Hu Zongxian could attack, Wang Cuiqiao was already facing the direction of Kinmen Island, and his voice was terrible:

"Mingshan! I failed you!"

The white skirt suddenly jumped into the sea.

Luo Longwen panicked and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, get her up!"

However, Luo Longwen was soft-spoken, and everyone on the boat looked at Hu Zongxian's face, they were all very interested, and no one jumped into the water to save people.

Luo Longwen looked around, gritted his teeth and jumped into the sea. But he didn't know the nature of water, and he was flopping around in the sea.

"Rescue Master Luo, what kind of system!" Hu Zongxian snorted. The two pro-soldiers jumped down and faithfully followed Hu Zongxian's order to rescue "Master Luo", as for the shadow of another white skirt swallowed by the sea, they tacitly turned a blind eye.

Li Shuyi couldn't bear to say in the team channel: "This Hu Zongxian is too much." Xiaowen, I really want to save Wang Cuiqiao. ”

Bai Xiaowen sighed: "She has long had the will to die, isn't it just to prevent people from saving Hu Zongxian? ”

"Why didn't Hu Zongxian let the family collect the corpse, he was not even allowed to be a nun, this is too great. Li Shuyi was a little indignant.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said in the team channel: "Hu Zongxian is thinking about his own reputation, after all, treachery is not a glorious thing, and letting Wang Cuiqiao be a nun, wouldn't there be one more resentful woman who slandered him? If Wang Cuiqiao and Luo Xiucai come together, it means that she has let go of Xu Hai, and Hu Zongxian can really rest assured, after all, Luo Xiucai will follow Hu Zongxian in the future, and Wang Cuiqiao will follow Luo Xiucai, which is equivalent to being under the influence and control of Hu Zongxian. ”

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Shuyi, I know that you are moved because of Wang Cuiqiao's loyalty to Xu Hai, and you even hate Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei. However, to be fair, Xu Hai, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, took refuge in the Japanese Invaders, led the Japanese to attack and harass the territory of the Ming Dynasty, killed the people, and robbed the property, which can be described as a heinous crime, and can be called a traitor in the Ming Dynasty. This is a sin in righteousness, and loyalty in private feelings is only a minority. ”

"Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei worked hard to resist the Japanese and protect the people of the Ming Dynasty on the southeast coast, which can be called national heroes, this is justice in righteousness, as for the conduct of words and treachery, it is also only a small section. ”

Bai Xiaowen's attitude was very clear, standing on the side of Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei.

Li Shuyi actually understands this, but women are more emotional and easy to be swayed by emotions.

In any case, Wang Cuiqiao committed suicide by jumping into the sea, which surprised everyone and made Hu Zongxian lose face. He snorted, shook his hand and turned his head away.

Xu Wei instructed Yu Dayou a few words, ignored Hu Zongxian, walked to a cabin of the ship with his hands behind his back, and went to sleep with his head covered.

"Let's go, it's not appropriate to hand in the task directly in this situation now, let's open the treasure chest first. ”

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi chose an unmanned cabin to open the treasure chest. Only Yu Dayou worked hard to straighten out the Japanese who had just surrendered, tied them into a long line with a series of cables, and then searched and arrested the whole island, so that not a single Japanese could escape.

Doing this C-level hero mission, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi harvested a total of two gold treasure chests dropped by the chief boss, as well as two silver treasure chests.

Open the silver treasure chest first, the ratings of these two treasure chests are only C-level - it is estimated that it is because they are from high-level elites, if it is an intermediate elite of the same level as Bai Xiaowen and the two, it is estimated that the score will fall to D-level or E-level.

There is only one chance to draw a C grade, but fortunately, there will be no bye.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi each had a treasure chest, and the draw was quickly completed, and there were no surprises, the two of them each drew a blue suit, which was bound after picking up, and it was basically used as auxiliary equipment to strengthen the equipment.

It is worth mentioning that each of the two chests has a special item, "Pirate's Blood", which is guaranteed to drop and does not count towards the loot drop list.

"It's probably because we have the 'Unclean Spirit' on our body that this special item will be dropped when we kill pirates. Bai Xiaowen took out a ball of "unclean spirits" obtained from the unjust souls of the elites, and tried to fuse them with the special item "Pirate's Blood".

The original pale red spirit, when it touched the pirate's blood, the red halo was peeled off little by little, as if the resentment entrenched in the spirit had been washed away.

When the light had receded, the "pirate blood" had vanished, and the name of the "unclean spirit" had changed.

[Strengthened Spirit: This spirit contains a spiritual energy, and the original entrenched resentment has been washed away. 】

Bai Xiaowen took out Absolon's Blood Essence Stone (mutilated) and injected it with the "Strengthened Spirit". Unexpectedly, the surface of the blood essence stone was only a flash of light, and after swallowing this strengthened essence, there was not much change.

However, Bai Xiaowen has a bottom in his heart, since the blood essence stone is willing to eat, it means that he is on the right path.

As for the lack of change, it is also normal, Absolon's Blood Essence Stone (Mutilated) is a high-end item obtained from the Lord, while the "Enhanced Spirit" is only a special item obtained from the Elite, and there is a qualitative difference between the two. Unless a large amount of essence is used to pile up, it is impossible to make the blood essence stone rise by relying on a single mass of essence.

Bai Xiaowen took out the [Unclean Essence Core] again, this essence core was obtained from the White Ghost Queen's trophies.

Using the second "pirate's blood" for the [Unclean Essence Core], but there was no reaction, Bai Xiaowen received a reminder message from the rules of the spirit world:

"The will to grievance entrenched in the core of unclean essence is too strong. ”

Li Shuyi saw the prompt of the shared spirit world rules, and said, "The white ghost queen is a leader-level unjust soul, and the essence core she drops should also need the blood of a leader-level pirate to wash it away." ”

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "It just so happens that we still have two golden treasure chests of the chief leaders of the Japanese Invaders that have not been opened. ”

After opening the two golden treasure chests, Bai Xiaowen did not choose cards for the time being, and first obtained the special items that must be dropped. Sure enough, two copies of the "blood of the pirate leader" were started.

Bai Xiaowen used the blood of the pirate leader Chen Dong, and sure enough, he successfully washed the essence core of the white ghost, and handed it over to Absolon's blood essence stone again to devour.

After the devouring was completed, Absolon's Bloodstone (Broken) finally changed, and its name became [Absolon's Bloodstone (Broken)].

Broken, literally, is a little better than mutilated. However, Bai Xiaowen still can't use it.

"It's a pity that there are only two parts of the essence and the essence core. There is one remaining item that has a sense of Absolon's Blood Essence Stone, and that is the [Filthy Heart] dropped by the Black Zombie King. However, this heart needs the blood of a real pirate to be cleansed. ”

Bai Xiaowen still has a piece of Ye Mazi's blood left in his hand, he is a fake widow and not a real widow, and the blood cannot wash away the filthy heart of the Black Zombie King.

"Anyway, after we finish the main quest, the next step is to do the side quest of 'Sword Hunting', and we will inevitably have to fight the real wolf. Li Shuyi said.

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "That's right, let's choose the loot card first." "He put away Absolon's Blood Essence Stone, Ye Mazi's blood, and another elite pirate blood.
