"Let's fix up the defenses on the island first. We can think about taking in the pirates when the defenses on the island are strengthened." Wei Duhong had great foresight and ambition.
"That's right, these pirates have been invading us time and time again, and we can't solve their problem just by defending ourselves. We have to take them all under our control, then we can fundamentally solve the problem." Xue expressed his agreement with Wei Duohong.
"That's right. We should unite the smaller pirate clans in the area. This way, we can help with management and prevent other pirates from invading us. We can also increase our own strength." Wei Duhong waved his fan.
Everyone strongly agreed with this idea.
After the meeting was over, he returned to his room and immediately started to draw his brush and begin designing.
Xiu Jie and the others also began preparing the necessary equipment for the trap.
"What are you doing?" Xue Ruyun was busy writing when Wei Duohong walked in with some fruits in his hands.
"Great King." Yun Zhi and the others quickly bowed and took the fruit plate.
"You're here." Xue Ruyun raised his head to greet him, then continued to write and paint.
"I saw that you haven't come out of your room for a few days, so I specifically came to see you." Wei Duohong worriedly came over, picked up the blueprints designed by Xue Luoyun, and carefully looked at them.
"I just want to design it as soon as possible so that they can prepare their defenses as soon as possible." Xuelao Yun said as he drew.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." When Wei Duhong finished looking at the blueprints designed by Xue Luoyun, he repeatedly exclaimed in admiration and praised them on the table.
"I've never heard of any of these designs of yours. Ingenious and amazing, such a supernatural feat. " Wei Duohong was holding onto Xue Ruyun's hand, and his excitement could be clearly seen from his words.
Seeing this intimate action, Yun Zhi and the rest quietly turned their faces away, pretending not to see it.
"You see, this, this in addition to some gears, the mechanism has been triggered, the gears have been activated, and the gears have been rolled down, igniting the oil underneath. How about we use fire to attack the enemy?" Xue Ruyun used the pen to point at the blueprint in his hand.
"Let me see." Wei Duohong bent his body and moved forward. The two of them were very close and their faces were almost touching. The surrounding people's faces turned red, but Xue Ruoyun and the others didn't think anything of it.
The two of them discussed for a while, and only after that did they put down their pens with satisfaction and send over the blueprints.
"I didn't expect you to be so experienced with security. There are many flaws I can think of and you can actually find them all and improve them. Your design is simply perfect. " Wei Duhong handed some grapes to Xue, and said as he ate.
"Actually, I wasn't the one who found these flaws. It was someone else." Xue Ruyun's eyes were shining.
"Is it that person? Is he that powerful? " Wei Duohong was very interested in Mu Ying.
"We used to spar a lot, and he always found out what I was up to." Xue Ruyun nodded his head, his mind filled with the days in the small courtyard.
"No wonder you are so unforgettable to him. He is a god, so if there is a chance, I must meet him."
After the blueprints were handed to the craftsmen, they were all enthusiastically crafted. According to Xue Luoyun's instructions, the formation was located in every corner of the island.
When Wei Duohong saw Xue Muyun doing her best, he felt grateful in his heart. He had an idea in his mind, "Why don't we return the treasures that I stole from her back then?" However, Wei Duohong was still hesitant. It wasn't because he couldn't bear to part with those treasures, but because he couldn't bear to see her leave.
After she came to the island, Wei Duohong's life was much richer than before. With her intelligence, she had made a great contribution to the island. If she left, the island would lose a talent.
He sometimes thought how great it would be if she were a man. That way, she could marry Xue Luoyun and let her stay on the island forever.
"What are you thinking about?" Xue Ruyun saw that she was in a daze.
"You've suffered." Wei Duhong finally reacted.
"No, I'm just trying my best." Xue Luoyun humbly replied.
Because the island was heavily guarded, the pirates who had attacked it were utterly defeated and defeated.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Wei Duohong and the others began to fight back, striking out at the pirates.
Wei Duhong can fight well, he is skilled in martial arts, and he is good at using troops. In addition to the combined efforts of her pirates, she also had Xue Luoyun's advice. It was simply invincible. Soon enough, she gathered all of the forces around the island and became stronger and stronger.
Xue Ruyun's life like this was extremely exciting, as if he had returned to his days as a bodyguard.
On the other hand, Mu's victory was like a year's worth of time. Their army was travelling day and night, hoping to arrive at Pirates' Island sooner. Mu Sheng was extremely worried every day, and his expression was anxious. He was worried about Xue Luoyun in his heart, but he also couldn't hurry over to his side. His heart was burning with anxiety, and he couldn't sit still.
"I wonder how Xue Luoyun is doing on that island?"
Mu Sheng opened the map and calculated the distance. He wanted to see how many days it would take to get there.
He was thinking about how to attack the pirates when he got there, and how to plan his battle plan. "At this time, the hidden guards walked in." What's the matter? " Mu Sheng saw the complex expression on his face.
"Well, there's something I don't know if I should tell you." The dark guards were also in a bit of a dilemma.
"If you have something to say, say it. You know This King's temper." Mu Ying coldly replied as he looked at the map. He was still thinking of a strategy to deal with the pirates.
"Our sources on the island reported that Miss Xue, she …" The guard hesitated.
"What happened to Xue Luoyun?" Mu Ying stood up straight.
"I heard Miss Xue and the leader of the pirates on the island are in love …" The guard stopped here. The reason why he came to tell this matter was because he felt that it wasn't worth it.
He was clearly able to see Mu Ying's feelings towards Xue Ruyun. Right now, Mu Ying was burning with anxiety as he went to save Xue Ruoyun, but she was together with the leader of the pirates. The secret guard inwardly resented Xue Muyun, wanting to advise his master to not bother with her anymore.
Mu Sheng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent. After a long time, he lightly said, "He's not that kind of person. You can leave now."
"Yes." The guard lowered his head and left, not daring to say another word.
Waiting until the hidden guards had retreated, Mu Ying, who was still looking at the map seriously, flipped over the table. "He's simply courting death."
She had originally promised him that before she dissolved her engagement with him, she would absolutely not agree to anyone else. But now, he actually had to deal with those vulgar pirates … "Love each other!"
Just thinking of this word, Mu Ying felt like his heart was going to explode. He felt like he was going crazy. Thinking of Xue Luoyun being together with another man, of others looking at her smile, of wiping away her tears, of admiring his beauty, Mu Sheng felt so jealous in his heart that he was on the verge of death.
His heart burned with anxiety. He wished he could fly to the island with wings and personally ask Xue Luoyun what was going on?
Was she genuinely in love with someone else, or was she forced to do so? No, Xue Luoyun was not such a person. He didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Xue Ruyun would do something like this. Could it be that she was forced to agree because her innocence had been stolen by the pirates like the Zhao family had said? Mu Sheng's mind was in a mess as though it was going to explode.
It must have been those pirates who had forced her. It must have been a rumor, and she couldn't believe it.
But even if it was just a rumor, Mu Sheng's heart was still as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch.
He had already thought about this a long time ago. How could a perfect woman like Xue Luoyun have a lack of suitors by her side? Back then, he was afraid, afraid that if he wasn't by his side, someone else would take away Xue Luoyun. That was why he was so anxious to tie her up with a betrothal gift.
He believed in his heart that Xue Ruyun definitely had some feelings for him, but these feelings were very faint. They were so faint that they made Mu Ying afraid, making her afraid that it wasn't enough to keep him in her heart.
He went to the cabin and let the cold air clear him up. Then he ordered, "Drive the boat faster, as fast as you can! Hurry up and reach Poyang Liangshan! "
"Yes." The soldiers replied, their hands moving extremely quickly.
"Achoo!" Xue Ruyun sat in Wei Duohong's room and suddenly sneezed.
The two were in the process of researching a new weapon and were about to put it to use.
"What's wrong?" Wei Duohong asked with concern.
"Nothing, perhaps the night wind is a little cold." Xue Ruoyun pulled at his cloak.
"Ever since the defense of the island was perfected, we were simply invincible. By now, all of the pirates have been subdued. Even the pirates in the distance, upon hearing that we have grown in power, have sent letters begging for peace, wanting to submit to us. Look, it's all here, it's here too. " He pointed to the map.
"Congratulations." You are now the true leader of the great pirates. " Xue Ruyun was sincerely happy for her.
"Most of it is thanks to you, my good sister." Wei Duohong immediately changed his soft and gentle voice and began acting coquettishly again.
Xue Ruyun was unable to react in time to the change in her tone. Her face was covered in sweat. "I really admire you. You can actually freely switch between the King and the soft girl."
Finally, after many days of travelling day and night, they finally arrived at Poyang Liangshan.
"We've finally arrived. Xue Luoyun, I've come." Excited, Mu Sheng immediately ordered his men to attack Pirates' Island.
However, at this time, Xue Luoyun was at the seaside, leisurely learning to weave the net with the women.
As Wei Duohong and the others were practicing, someone suddenly reported, "Reporting, a large group of troops is rushing towards us! Right now, we are almost at the city gates. "
"What?!" Wei Duohong was shocked.
"How many people are there?"
"Roughly a few thousand elite soldiers!"
"So many have come!" Wei Duohong was astonished.
In the past, they were often surrounded and annihilated by the imperial government's soldiers, but normally, there were only a few thousand to eight hundred of them. Why did he send so many people over all of a sudden?
"What should we do?" "Great King."
"Gather everyone for a meeting!" Wei Duohong closed his fan and immediately summoned everyone to the meeting hall to discuss countermeasures.
