Hearing something strange outside, Zhao Heng no longer wanted to be a hooligan, and quickly opened the door to see what was going on. The windows in the Ming Dynasty were all covered with paper, and it was difficult to see what was going on outside in the house. Opening the door could

Incredibly, I saw that half of the sky outside had turned red, and bursts of heart-rending shouts could be heard not far away.

Zhao Heng knew something serious was going on as soon as he saw it. He quickly ran to the door and opened the courtyard door. He caught a family member who was running around and asked, "What happened outside?"

The family member was sweating profusely and said: "Young master, there is a group of thieves coming out of nowhere and killing people everywhere!"

Thief? Where is the thief? At this time, Zhao Heng no longer cared about how the thief came. He cared about his parents and family and asked: "Where is my father? Where is my grandfather?"

The family member was also panicked, shook his head and said, "Even the villain doesn't know!"

Seeing that Zhao Heng couldn't get anything out of the question, he simply stopped asking. He returned to the house and said to his newlywed wife Zhang Side: "Qiu Niang, there are thieves outside. I'm going to see how my parents are doing!"

After Zhao Heng finished speaking, he put on his jacket, and then said: "You and Xiaoyu are at home, close the courtyard door and the room door, and never open the door! Our home is protected by the courtyard wall, so there should be no big problem!"

Zhang Side also experienced this kind of situation for the first time. He was so frightened that he had no choice but to say: "Husband, you must be careful!"

After Zhao Heng settled the two women, Zhang Side and Xiaoyu, he opened the door and left his yard. At this time, there was no one outside. He was probably hiding because he was afraid of thieves. Zhao Heng went to his grandparents' residence along the corridor and found that his grandparents were not at home.

, Zhao Heng hurriedly went to his parents' place again, and found that his parents, grandparents, and grandparents were all here, and Zhao Heng was relieved.

When Zhao Fuxiang and Sun Jing saw Zhao Heng coming, they were very relieved that their son was not injured. Sun Jing also went up and checked several times and was relieved to see that his son was indeed uninjured.

Zhao Heng pulled his father Zhao Fuxiang and asked: "Dad, what happened outside? I heard that thieves are coming?"

Zhao Fuxiang nodded quickly and recounted what had just happened.

It turned out that after Zhao Heng entered the bridal chamber, Zhao Fuxiang started drinking with the guests, but halfway through the drink, screams came from the banquet of workers and villagers outside.

Zhao Fuxiang thought at first that someone had drunk too much and was causing trouble, but as soon as he went out, he saw a group of people in strange clothes wielding steel knives to kill the unlucky villagers and workers. Zhao Fuxiang had never seen such a thing before, and his face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly

He ordered the servants to close the door tightly and not allow anyone to come in. At the same time, Zhao Fuxiang silently thought to himself that the courtyard wall had been repaired a few days ago, otherwise it would be difficult for these murderous thieves to come in.

Zhao Fuxiang stood at the door in fear, listening to the noise outside. After a while, there was no sound outside. Zhao Fuxiang opened the courtyard door and stuck his head out to take a look. It was pitch black outside, and the lantern that was originally lit was not visible.

Why were they all destroyed? Looking at the dark night outside, Zhao Fuxiang quickly asked his servants to close the door again, deciding that no matter what was going on outside, he would not open the door even if they were killed. As for the unlucky workers and villagers outside, Zhao Fuxiang couldn't even take care of them now.

Can outsiders be tolerated?

Zhao Heng listened to Zhao Fuxiang's words, looked at his father's trembling hands holding a steel knife, reached out and snatched the knife away, and said: "Dad, give me the knife. I'll go out and watch the fire at the factory."

What's going on? I'm going to bring out the new army. They're a bunch of thieves who can't even eat. I wonder why they kill people and set fire to them!"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When Sun Jing heard what her son said, she immediately quit her job. No matter what factory she was in, her son's life was not as precious. Sun Jing stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Heng and shouted: "Son, don't go out in such danger! Your father has already sent someone to go out."

I've asked the Zhang family in Haikou for help, and I'll wait until the Zhang family's reinforcements arrive!"

Naturally, Guilan, the nanny, did not allow her precious grandson to go, and she was crying and trying to persuade her. At this time, Zhao Heng heard this. The young man was so full of energy that he would think so much. Zhao Heng shook off the grandma and mother's words.

Hands up, he rushed out of the yard without looking back.

Zhao Heng quickly came to the door, asked the servant to open the door, and rushed out regardless of calling his parents behind him. Sun Jing watched his son rush out and angrily cursed Zhao Fuxiang: "Zhao Fuxiang, you trash, you are like this

Why don't you go and let your son go when it's dangerous! Go out and find your son!"

Sun Jing asked Zhao Fuxiang to go out and Ma Guilan quit immediately. She couldn't control her grandson's rush out. Nothing could happen to her son. Ma Guilan held Zhao Fuxiang tightly with both hands and shouted: "Son, if you go out, I will kill you here!"

Ma Guilan was delayed like this, and Zhao Fuxiang was really afraid of death. Zhao Heng had already run away after hesitating like this. Seeing this, Zhao Fuxiang sighed and said to the servant guarding the door: "Close the door!"

Seeing the door closed, Sun Jingzai couldn't control his emotions and cursed angrily: "Zhao Fuxiang, you bastard, you don't even care about your own son, you are just a waste, why did I fall in love with you at that time?"

you!"

Zhao Heng is Zhao Fuxiang's biological son. How can he not be worried? Zhao Fuxiang was already depressed, but now Sun Jing is making unreasonable troubles here. Zhao Fuxiang was so angry that he slapped Sun Jing hard in the face and cursed: "My son is not always like this."

Are you used to it?" After the beating, Zhao Fuxiang ignored Sun Jing, who was sitting on the floor and crying, and turned around and went back to his room.

Zhao Heng rushed out in a hurry. When he was blown by the sea breeze outside, he realized that he had indeed thought too simplistically. This was not a fight between gangsters, but a fight between armies. Of course, the opposite party was not a regular army, but after all,

It is also an armed group with an unknown number of people. It is indeed unwise to run out alone.

But what can we do if we have already come out? Are we turning around and going back? Zhao Heng looked at the closed door and thought that he would have to face a life and death battle sooner or later. In that case, why not start tonight?

After making up his mind, Zhao Heng grasped the steel knife tightly. Although Zhao Fuxiang spent a lot of money to buy this steel knife, it was not made of pure steel, but a wrought iron knife with steel. However, such a knife is already amazing.

Compared with the iron knives in the hands of thieves, it is basically a knife that kills a child.

Zhao Heng prepared himself, tightened the shoelaces on his feet, and then walked along the road to the barracks. Of course, he did not dare to run wildly in the middle of the road. The situation was unknown now, so it was better for him to keep a low profile alone.

Zhao Heng walked quickly along the road. If there was any movement in front of him, he would squat in the grass on the roadside. Only when he found that there was no danger, he came out and continued on his way. After walking for three miles, Zhao Heng suddenly found a group of people in front of him.

People were also walking in secret, and in the opposite direction to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng thought that the thieves were back again, and hurriedly hid in the grass on the roadside. Fortunately, it was dark now, and the sea breeze caused the grass to stir. As long as he didn't walk in front of Zhao Heng, he couldn't be found.

Zhao Heng waited for those people to approach and found that there were not many people in the group. There were about seven or eight people. The leader was holding a bright sharp knife in his hand, and those behind him were holding sharp knives.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It's a spear.

Zhao Heng quickly lowered his head. He originally wanted to let these people pass, but when these people walked in, Zhao Heng discovered that the person leading them was Ma Desheng, and behind him were the servants of the joint defense team.

Zhao Heng saw that his people felt relieved, so he stood up from the grass and said, "Brother Ma, I am Zhao Heng!"

Ma Desheng was startled when a man suddenly appeared on the roadside. He raised his knife with one hand and was about to slash at this man. But when he heard that the man said it was Zhao Heng, Ma Desheng quickly stopped the steel knife in his hand.

After seeing clearly that it was Zhao Heng, Ma Desheng whispered: "Master, why did you come out? What should I do if I encounter a thief if the situation is unclear?"

Although Zhao Heng is tall and thick, soldiers like Ma Desheng who have actually been on the battlefield really look down on Zhao Heng. He thinks that Zhao Heng is just a showman and can fight well. If he really wants to go to the battlefield and fight with his life, he will have to pee his pants.

.

Zhao Heng chuckled and said, "Brother Ma, have you encountered the enemy?"

Ma Desheng nodded and said: "I was patrolling tonight. I met a dozen lone thieves in front of me. We killed three of them. The others ran away because the situation was not good!"

Zhao Heng did not expect Ma Desheng, a disabled person, to have such abilities, but he had no time to ask about the battle. He asked: "Brother Ma, have you seen clearly who these people are?"

Ma Desheng chuckled: "Young Master, these people are pirates, not bandits on land!"

After Ma Desheng finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Young Master, your family's property should have attracted pirates!"

Own property? Zhao Heng doesn’t understand what’s so valuable about his brick-producing factories. Do pirates want to build houses?

Seeing Zhao Heng's behavior, Ma Desheng explained: "Young master, your factory on Xinbu Island should be the target, but the pirates probably didn't have any eyes and thought that frosting sugar was produced on this island, so they targeted it.

Come here!"

Ma Desheng's estimate is basically accurate. It has become news that Zhao Fuxiang's family can make white sugar. Most merchants in Qiongzhou Prefecture know that the Zhao family has a secret recipe for making white sugar. Although this kind of news has brought Zhao Fuxiang a huge income,

But it also brought covetousness from pirates.

However, these pirates have no skills if they don’t study. They found out through spies that there are several factories on Haidian Island that emit black smoke and make strange noises every day. This must be the secret method used by the Zhao family to make white sugar.

The targets were concentrated on Haidian Island. The sugar factory on Xinbu Island was small in scale and its boiler was only a normal temperature boiler. There was no such big movement, so it escaped disaster.

Mentioning the sugar factory, Zhao Heng asked nervously: "Brother Ma, what will you do on Xinbu Island when you come here?"

Ma Desheng chuckled: "Don't worry, young master, there is still Zhang Shitou and forty servants left on the island. That boy Zhang Shitou was born first, and his men are much sharper than a cripple like me, Old Ma!"

Zhao Heng felt relieved when he heard what Ma Desheng said so confidently. He asked: "Brother Ma, what are you going to do?"

"We have to protect your father. After all, after receiving your father's money and using people's money to eliminate disasters, we naturally have to protect your family!"

Zhao Heng felt relieved upon hearing this. Although Ma Desheng had lost one of his hands, he had rich combat experience. He would be no problem protecting his home.

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "Thank you very much, Brother Ma. I'm going to Jiading Military Camp. These pirates have gone to kill people everywhere on the island. I must not let them all run away!"
