Hou Jie indifferently shook off a headless poisonous snake from his bare shoulder, the snake's big mouth was still tightly biting into his flesh, and then with a knife, a piece of skin and flesh fell on the grass with the snake's head, and was trampled into a pulp by him with his leather boots.

Killing people here is already the most he does on weekdays, and he slowly becomes numb, and there is not much difference between a knife cutting on someone else's neck and cutting it on his own body.

Hou Jie thought that the moment his father's head flew up with blood was the most painful thing in the world, but now it seems that it is not the most painful, the most painful thing is to fall from the prosperous world to this world that belongs to the savages. Endless forests, endless mosquitoes, accompanied by endless pain.

The dark medic examined his wound and wrapped a medicine around his shoulder, where the wound had to be wrapped, or there would be maggots on the top and bottom of the wound.

"General, we can't move forward any further, if we go any further, the army will be damaged, those wild people have all penetrated into Lin Mang, we can't finish killing, and Lin Mang will also swallow these people, those man-eating wild people will help us clean up those hands and tails, we don't have much food and grass, it's time to go back."

It was the old general of the Hou family who spoke, since the death of the general, they did not scatter, but chose to come to Lingnan with the women and children of the Hou family, and the family members were arranged by Yun Ye in the Mengjia village, and they followed the eldest young master to this strange land to fight for a full year, and now, the land of Java has finally been cleaned up.

Hou Jie took out the wine jug and took a sip of wine, wiped his bearded face, and said to his hometown: "Uncle An, let's go back to Requiem City, take away what these slaves can take away, and kill those who can't." ”

This is the battlefield. The natives who held the bamboo swords and spears made a final resistance here, and no matter how much they tried to win a victory, Hou Jie left them with corpses all over the ground, mercenaries armed to the teeth, and there were the most powerful blowguns that these naked natives could resist. Useless in the face of can-like armor.

The dark and dwarf natives were tied in a long string of ropes, and followed these sturdy mercenaries to the sea with their heads down, and as soon as they got on the boat, endless labor awaited them.

Hou Jie's battleship was painted black, and the winter fish who came to Java with them showed their big white teeth and silently welcomed Hou Jie's victorious return, seeing that he was carrying a medicine bag around his shoulder, pointing with his finger, seeing Hou Jie shaking his head to indicate that he was okay, he hugged Hou Jie and patted him twice on the back.

"Big brother!" Hou Ying swung down from the mast. Turning a somersault and unloading his strength, he stood firmly in front of Hou Jie, and the sixteen-year-old young man was full of energy.

Hou Jie looked at his younger brother carefully, and saw that he was also sunburned like black charcoal, and his heart ached, he was supposed to play football with a group of classmates in the academy and peeked at the women's academy, but now he can only float on the sea all year round like himself.

The men of the Hou family are not allowed to set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty, this is the verdict of all the nobles on the Hou family, and it is also a chance to atone for the Hou family. Otherwise, the Xiao family. The Pei family and the Han family will definitely not rest.

"Is it a habit to live on a ship? Now you must grit your teeth and carry it down, Daddy is gone, those uncles and brothers have done their best, and now our brothers can only rely on themselves. ”

"Big brother, I love life on the boat. Brother Dongyu is doing his best to teach me how to sail a boat, and I have learned almost, but I am short of experience, and Brother Dongyu said that as long as I run more at sea, it will be. ”

After Hou Ying finished talking about his own affairs, he looked at the medicine bag on his brother's shoulder worriedly.

"Nothing serious. Being bitten by a snake and shaving off a piece of flesh is not in the way, what about Xiaohu? He's not crying anymore, is he? I miss my mother too, but I can't see it. ”

"Big brother, Xiaohu is born frail and sickly, and he is always seasick, let's find a way, he can't live on the boat, it will kill him if he goes on like this, these days Brother Dongyu is sending Xiaohu to the shore, and sending people to guard, this is not a long-term solution, otherwise, send Xiaohu back to the Mengjia village, and he will definitely be cultivated by his mother."

"No, the men of the Hou family can't set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty, this is an agreement, although the Hou family has no father, the words spoken are a pit with a mouthful of spit, and it is categorically not allowed to violate the yang and yin, and Xiaohu will die on the boat even if he dies. This is the fate of the children of the Hou family, which cannot be violated, my father killed more than 1,000 people in vain on the grassland back then, and we are atoning for our sins. ”

Hou Ying couldn't help lowering his head when he saw that his eldest brother was angry, and didn't dare to speak again. When Winter Fish saw that all the people on the shore were on board, the whistle in his mouth sounded sharply three times, and the seabirds perched on the mast rushed into the air in fright, and all the sailors began to get busy, and the thick stone anchors slowly rose from the bottom of the sea, and the five big ships began to move slowly with the current, and when all the white sails were opened, the big ship had begun to break the waves.

Hou Jie found a shady place to stretch his limbs as much as possible, Hou Ying brought him a pot of tea, this is Hou Jie's only little enjoyment, he has abandoned the gorgeous clothes, delicious food, and even the noble etiquette has been put aside by him, only to drink tea, he did not give up, there is always a stunning beauty in green clothes in his dreams and he brewed tea under the big willow tree to talk.

"Big brother, are you still thinking about Xiao Wu? I heard that Brother Dongyu said that Brother Yun had given Xiao Wu to Di Renjie, maybe he was already married at this time, eldest brother, my mother wrote to me that she had fallen in love with a woman from a prisoner's family, and she would send that woman to Requiem City after a while, big brother, do you really want to marry the daughter of the prisoner you don't know? ”

Hou Jie poured the golden tea into the teacup, indescribably elegant, picked up the teacup with two fingers, lowered his head and gently sniffed the fragrant tea fragrance, and then drank the tea in one gulp. His eyes closed for a while before he said to Hou Ying: "This is what I mean, the past cannot be traced, it is already in the past, Di Renjie is indeed better than me, Xiao Wu chose him as a matter of course, I shouldn't have climbed high."

My mother is old, and someone always needs to take care of the affairs of the family, and those aunts don't know anything, so ah, the family needs someone who can take care of the housework, and since I have reached the age of marriage, I should marry. “

"Big brother, I heard that woman doesn't look good at all, and Sister Xiaowu is too far behind, you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and you rule the seventy-two islands overseas, why do you have to marry a beauty, marrying that woman will be laughed at."

Hou Ying heard that the eldest brother said that he had agreed by himself, and immediately called out for the eldest brother.

"You know a fart, the big husband will inevitably have a wife who is not virtuous and unfilial, especially the three of us brothers can only wander overseas, looking for a too beautiful one is to find guilt for themselves, find a mediocre appearance, she will know the huge difference between herself and us, what can make us cherish her is nothing more than their loyalty, that woman is very smart, and wants to use the strength of our family to make their family better, so, such a woman with a clear goal and dare to sacrifice is the housewife that our family needs, for herself, For the sake of us, she will conscientiously run this family, and that is enough. “

Hou Ying touched the ash of his nose, twisted his head to the side angrily, and suddenly found that there was a fleet on his left side by side, it was the ships of the Lingnan fleet, and the golden dragon flag on it was waving in the wind.

Hou Jie also saw it, but he didn't say anything, the Lingnan Navy Division is actively building the strait, and it doesn't appear on weekdays, how can it suddenly appear near Java Island now, is there something big that can't happen?

The high mountain goats and bearded guests are in the open sea, none of them dare to enter the strait, they want to go around from the open sea, the difficulty is not ordinary, the fresh water alone will kill them, the fleet that appears today is very strange, very huge, it seems that the Lingnan Navy Division is pouring out of the nest, and the supply ships are enough to form a fleet, and the draft on the side of the ship is very deep, this is too strange, is it that the country is going to open up new territorial waters? There's no need for such a big battle.

A battleship drew a beautiful arc on the sea surface and blocked the front of Hou Jie's fleet, looking at the flag number is Liu Renyuan's ship, the princess is still hovering in the East China Sea, and it will not be able to come back for a while.

Hou Jie ordered to put down a small boat, and he took six generals to row the small boat on Liu Renyuan's battleship. In the captain's room, I saw Liu Renyuan who was looking at the chart, only to see him holding a pencil and constantly marking the route on the chart, Hou Jie was very unfamiliar with this chart, but looking at the shape of the nearby islands, this is likely to be a chart outside the strait.

Liu Renyuan marked the chart, rolled it up and put it in a waterproof cowhide tube and handed it to Hou Jie and said: "Xiaojie, get ready, in another year, you will enter this sea area, it won't take long for the mountain goat to become a vassal of the empire, with the same authority as us, you may not know, the Koreans have surrendered, from now on, the Lingnan sailors have no way to deal with this woman, it depends on you, the general's intention is to grow up in the shortest possible time, Unite Feng Ang to regain control of the sea area, and do not give the high mountain goats the slightest opportunity to take advantage of.

I'll leave you eleven decommissioned warships on my return journey, and you'll need to figure out how to do it yourself, and the nobles who join Project Requiem are your most powerful allies, and they can be trusted. “

Hou Jie glanced at Liu Renyuan and said: "This is nature, I need ships, I also need manpower, now that Java Island has completely become our world, it is the time when we need to build on a large scale, there is no shortage of wood here, what is lacking is the stone and cement to build the city, I hope you can bring us some when you come next time."
