If they refuse, Zheng Bao will go on a killing spree here, and most of the nobles present will be killed.

Zheng Bao had more than 100,000 troops in Chaohu and was able to make many water bandits and nobles surrender. His force was definitely not low.

"Zi Yang, you are a member of the royal family and are well-known in Huainan. You should express your stance first!"

Zheng Bao was dissatisfied with the attitude of the Huainan gentry, so he looked at the representative of the Huainan gentry, Liu Ye, a native of Chengde in Huainan.

Liu Ye was in his twenties and looked troubled.

Agreeing to Zheng Bao's plan would undoubtedly offend the Huainan nobles.

But if you don't agree with Zheng Bao's plan, you may be hacked to death by the vicious water pirate generals.

"What the general said may be feasible, but migrating people from various places to the south will take a lot of time. It's better to think about it in the long term..."

Liu Ye spoke slowly under the gaze of everyone.

Zheng Bao was immediately dissatisfied: "Listening to your words is like listening to your words. Ziyang, you are perfunctory with me. Before everyone agrees to come down, I will leave you to rest in the water stronghold for the time being. When you change your mind, I will let you go back."

When people come, arrange accommodation for them and don’t let them leave!”

The black dragon sailors who were ambushing outside came in, holding iron forks, and forked the leaders of the Huainan scholars.

These scholars were imprisoned in a water stronghold, and Zheng Bao arranged for heavy troops to be stationed to prevent them from escaping.

"Zheng Bao has strong soldiers and horses. If he follows Zheng Bao and attacks Jiangnan, he may be able to accomplish great things."

"It's just that in this way, we Jiangbei nobles will lose our land, and when we go to Jiangnan, we will definitely be suppressed by the Jiangnan nobles."

"But if we disobey Zheng Bao's wishes, he might order us all to be beheaded."

"For the present plan, the only choice is to obey Zheng Bao."

"Zi Yang, what do you think?"

After the Huainan nobles were imprisoned by Zheng Bao, under Zheng Bao's threat, they couldn't help but become timid and looked at Liu Ye, who was a member of the royal family.

"Zheng Baoxiao is brave and courageous, and has outstanding talents and weapons. However, this person is arbitrary and will fail sooner or later. What's more, he drives our countrymen to march to Jiangdong. Once he succeeds, thousands of bones will be withered, and our countrymen will surely suffer heavy losses. Now we have no choice but to do everything we can.

Maybe it’s holding back Zheng Bao.”

Liu Ye frowned.

Make bricks without straw.

Facing Zheng Bao, who has a heavy army, and there are so many hostages here, it is difficult for Liu Ye to escape.

Outside the water village, Qin Kai led dozens of people to approach the water village.

Zheng Bao's Chaohu water village has hundreds of wooden villages connected, and its scale is spectacular.

There may be dozens of water thieves living in each wooden village.

Qin Kai and his party were in ambush in the woods on the shore.

"Zilong, go and capture a water thief scout alive."

"yes."

After Zhao Yun took refuge with Qin Kai, he performed his first mission and disappeared into the woods.

A water pirate scout patrolling the edge of the woods was knocked unconscious by Zhao Yun who suddenly fell from a branch, and Zhao Yun easily lifted him back up.

"I have an eighty-year-old son above me and a three-year-old kid below me. Please forgive me, sir!"

When the water thief scout woke up, he found that he had become a prisoner and quickly begged for mercy.

These water thieves and mountain thieves seem to have the same rhetoric...

"Stop talking nonsense and answer the question honestly. Where were Liu Ye and others detained by Zheng Bao?"

"The water village deep in the lake."

"How many guards are there?"

"Five hundred black dragon sailors, and there are more than 2,000 people on dozens of warships around the water stronghold."

"You can die."

After Qin Kai obtained the information, he killed the water thief unceremoniously.

"There are about 2,000 people in the water village where Liu Ye is imprisoned, and 500 of them are Zheng Bao's guards - the high-level black dragon sailors."

"The really troublesome thing is not just the two thousand people guarding the water stronghold, but once we attack the water stronghold, the entire water thieves in the water stronghold, including Zheng Bao and other water thieves generals, will be alerted."

"Han Sheng led thirty Xuannv sword guards to pretend to attack the water stronghold where Zheng Bao was located. Zilong, Xiuning, and twenty Xuannv sword guards attacked the water stronghold after Han Sheng attracted Zheng Bao's attention.

Rescue Liu Ye."

"Where are the other Huainan nobles?"

"Zheng Bao still wants to use their power. He won't actually kill him. He will only save Liu Ye."

Qin Kai made simple arrangements in the woods.

Qin Kai is not a good person, and he will not save every Huainan nobleman. His target is only Liu Ye.

The value of Liu Ye alone is equivalent to the sum of other Huainan nobles.

Qin Kai brought dozens of people and rescued one person among the hundreds of thousands of water thieves in Chao Lake, which was quite dangerous.

"Split up and leave as soon as you succeed."

Qin Kai and his party were divided into two teams. Huang Zhong took the lead in attacking with thirty Xuannv sword guards.

The Xuannv Sword Guards are a tenth-level unit, and their combat power is similar to that of ordinary water thief generals. Although there are only thirty Xuannv Sword Guards, this team of Xuannv Sword Guards can besiege first-class generals together.

"One arrow from heaven and earth!"

A beam of fire traveled hundreds of meters across and hit the gate of Zheng Bao Water Village. With a bang, the fire shot into the sky. More than a dozen water thieves guarding the gate were directly swallowed by the flames and were instantly killed by Huang Zhong with one arrow!

"Sword Dance!"

Xuannv Sword Guard launched her flying sword, the long sword whirled, and the sword energy surged, directly cutting through the wooden fence of the water village, cutting through the low-level water thieves like mowing grass!

"Enemy attack!"

"Who dares to attack our water stronghold? The governor of Lujiang? Or a stranger?!"

"Black Dragon Guards, dispatch!"

The angry roars of the water pirate generals could be heard from the water stronghold, as if they couldn't believe that there were people in the Chaohu area who dared to attack their water stronghold.

The leader of the water pirates, Zheng Bao, roared repeatedly, his pressure being provoked.

Zheng Bao, surrounded by a group of water pirate generals, came out of the water stronghold. There were also a group of black dragon sailors wearing black dragon leather armor around Zheng Bao.

These black dragon sailors can fight on the water surface, their force is improved, and they have a certain ability to hold their breath. They can run rampant and even the Han army can't defeat them in Chaohu Lake.

However, Huang Zhong's purpose was not to destroy Zheng Bao's black dragon sailors, but to attract Zheng Bao's attention.

"Arrow Meteor!"

Huang Zhong unfolded the Arrow God's Domain, and a branch arrow shot out like a meteor, and like a violent wind and rain, it covered Zheng Bao crazily!

Huang Zhong's archery speed was already astonishing. After entering the master realm and understanding the realm of the God of Archery, his bows and arrows automatically tracked the enemy, and each arrow could also shoot out two phantom arrows. One person was like a hundred-man archery team.

"stop!"

The black dragon sailors held up round shields and stood in front of Zheng Bao, forming a shield wall to block Huang Zhong's bow and arrow!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The energy contained in the bow and arrow exploded violently, and even the black dragon sailors in the front row, holding their shields, could not block Huang Zhong's powerful archery skills.

More than thirty black dragon sailors were killed, and even a water pirate general was shot dead by Huang Zhong.

Zheng Bao originally came out in a fierce manner and wanted to kill the uninvited guest who dared to offend him, but he did not expect that the opponent was so fierce.

If Zheng Bao were alone, he might be shot into a hedgehog under Huang Zhong's violent archery attack!

"Brothers, we have strength in numbers, come on!"

Zheng Bao raised his sword and urged the Black Dragon Guards and the generals of the water thieves to rush forward, while he hid behind.

Huang Zhongshi is really too cruel.

A group of water pirate generals and black dragon sailors looked at each other, and finally had to grit their teeth, bite the bullet, and swarm forward.

With their numbers and strength, they could kill Huang Zhong and dozens of Xuannv sword guards!

"Huang Zhong and the others successfully attracted the attention of the water thieves. Now it's our turn."

Qin Kai took out the Fire Phoenix Spear from the Qixi Ring, and with Li Xiuning riding Qiongqi, leading twenty Xuannv sword guards, they made a surprise attack on the water village where Liu Ye was imprisoned.

Xuannv Sword Guard flew with her sword, and Zhao Yun rode a snow-white Pegasus, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, appearing in the water village deep in the lake!

"A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix!"

"The dragon lurks in the abyss!"

"Sword Dance!"

More than 20 people including Qin Kai, Zhao Yun, Li Xiuning, Xuannv Sword Guard, and others used all their strength to attack the black dragon sailors guarding the water village.
