Qiongzhou is always called a place of miasma. A little left the coast, there are mountains and forests. The old forests that have grown for millions of years are full of poisonous snakes and beasts, especially the invisible miasma that harms people. The Han people often dare not go deeper. The agarwood in Qiongzhou is the most profound in the world. The deeper the mountains and forests are the more rare it is. The southern merchants can only buy from the Li people who live in the deep mountains. After worshiping the mountain god, the Li people can go into the mountain to pick fragrance. If they encounter a truly dangerous place, they should choose a virgin who is as good as jade to pick it, so as not to anger the mountain god.

The residence where the demoted official Li Ruobing lived was extremely simple, and it was hard to even be called a house. More than a dozen branches supported a non-round or square gap, covering the unknown branches of Qiongzhou, banana leaves and thatch, and straw mats were spread on the ground. The thatched hut was breathable, and poisonous substances such as snakes and scorpions were sometimes crawled into. If incense was burned from time to time to remove mosquitoes, it would be even more uninhabitable.

Li Ruobing was fashionable in the capital and had never seen a truly top-quality agarwood. At this moment, the near-water tower was the first to get the moon. The agarwood produced here was much cheaper than in the capital. Curiously, he bought several pieces of good products with partridge spots to ignite them. He only burned a little. The fragrance was clear and gentle. When it was burned until it was finished, there was no burnt smell at all. Unconsciously, he admired that there was such a treasure in the world. He calculated the population of his family and bought a copy for his parents, younger brothers and sisters, and even Zhao Xingde. He didn't know if he had the life to bring this item back to the capital.

In recent days, Li Ruobing has become accustomed to miasma and fall asleep in the sound of the tide. According to the practice of demoting his official position, he, the ninth-rank Qiongzhou, was not allowed to hold official documents. If he had free time every day, he would read the scriptures of sages he carried with him. A gentleman was cautious when he retreated, and he would be content with his own health. He would be content with his own satisfaction. Since he arrived in Qiongzhou, there was a man who had to visit him, which was Mr. Huang Zhoushan, who was also demoted to Qiongzhou.

The place where Huangzhou Mountain deposed was not far from him, but was next to a port, where there were many fishing villages where boatmen and merchant sailors who had been living on the sea for many years. The land next to the fishing village was still flat, and gradually, people who had reproductive and cultivated, cultivated, planted sugarcane, jute and other things, and extracted sugarcane and jute cloth. Every year, sea boats brought grain, salt and iron to collect sugarcane and linen, and sold it to the Central Plains, or to an unknown country further away.

There are not even a few clerks in this place. The court is relieved to the officials who have been demoted here. They can walk around the island at will. As long as they are not afraid of losing their official position, they can escape by sea boat. Li Ruobing searched all the way and came to a small village where locals lived. He saw a thatched hut with dozens of boys of all ages sitting inside, and two or three people dressed as sailors, and the gray-bearded Zhoushan Mr. Huang Jian was wearing a local cloth robe woven from jute and was writing hard on the cypress board with a piece of charcoal.

Li Ruobing read the letter from his husband, "I love to educate Li, my ministers, and my ministers are in the Rong and Qiang. They are all in the world, and they lead the guest to the king." This is the words in the thousand-character text of a child in the Central Plains, and his eyes are suddenly wet. Huang Jian and Li Ruobing had seen him in the capital. He had heard that he was also denounced here, so he nodded and smiled at him, stretched his left hand slightly to signal him to sit down. With Mr. Zhoushan's reputation and seniority, Li Ruobing sat down in this enlightenment classroom. He looked for a slightly neatly dressed boatman and sat down. The man turned to smile at him and showed his friendship, revealing his white teeth slightly. Li Ruobing couldn't help but be stunned. The things eaten by the wild people here were extremely rough, and the teeth of the young and middle-aged man were good. "Is it something else that was a mess?" Li Ruobing thought to himself that it was not convenient to ask for advice because Mr. Zhoushan was still teaching.

The sea breeze is blowing, Huangzhou Mountain is old and firmer, and the tone is strong. The professors are all the sounds of Luoyang, and the cottage is silent. Li Ruobing sighed secretly: "What the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism says is that it is not an external object, but my heart is a pure land. It is true that Mr. Zhoushan's cultivation of not being surprised by favors and disgraces is in the wilderness and his heart is like a pure land, and this place has become a paradise."

While he was sighing, a noise sounded in the village not far away, and someone shouted loudly: "Run quickly, the pirates are here!"

Although the Guangnan Road Sea Survey Navy often patrols the seas of Beijiuluozhou and Shitang, and even sails to Huanzhou, Dazhou and other distant seas, it is difficult to distinguish merchants and bandits on the vast sea. Some ships are robbers when they get on the shore, and they set sail for faraway flights. There are many large and small ports everywhere, and there are many villages where boaters and people settle down and live, which is really difficult to take into account. The location of the fishing village where Huangzhou Mountain is located is a bit remote. It is the object of those pirates who like to wash and plunder. Although the oil and water are not large, they can always rob a few women or get some supplies such as food.

Li Ruobing's face also changed. Recently, the town stationed in the government army was dozens of miles away. He was about to get up and pull Huang Jian to avoid it for a while. As soon as the warning shout fell, more than a dozen people with tanned skin and fierce faces appeared outside the cottage with short swords in their hands.

The pirate Shen Ming was from Annan. The Li Chao of Jiaozhi was arrogant and stormed the three cities of Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Yongzhou of the Song Dynasty, and massacred tens of thousands of scholars and citizens of the Song Dynasty. Including the ancestors of Shen Ming. The Annan camps of the Song Dynasty deployed commanders to be greedy for life and fear death, fearing the malaria and harshness of the south. After defeating the Jiaozhi army, they made a proposition and accepted a surrender letter from the King of Jiaozhi Li Dynasty and easily withdrew their troops. From then on, the people of Jiaozhi thought that the Song Dynasty was weak and bullied, and even the Jiaozhi pirates who were seeking life at sea would occasionally rob the Song Dynasty.

When Shen Ming looked at this simple fishing village in the grass nearby, he stared at the only decent thatched cottage. He rushed over without delay after almost a moment. Finally, there were more than a dozen people in the cottage that were blocked and did not escape. He determined that Huang Jian, Li Ruobing, and the young man beside Li Ruobing, who were dressed neatly, were rich families from a good family. He was secretly happy and pressed the short knife in his hand against Huang Zhoushan's chest and shouted sternly: "Where are the money and food hidden? Tell me quickly, otherwise I will kill you." More than a dozen pirates around him also shouted, threatening the people in the cottage, and the children were so scared that they burst into tears. Shen Ming's face darkened and immediately asked his subordinates to kill the crying child first.

The pirates were about to take action, and the man beside Li Ruobing's side looked as if he was ashen and shouted loudly: "Wait! I have something." What he shouted was Jiaozhi's words, and he was chanting, and he was pulling them into his arms. The pirates understood at that time and were not rushing to kill people. A pirate with a crescent-shaped scar on his face immediately walked over with a grim smile, and as soon as he reached out, he wanted to catch the young man.

The young man actually took out an iron tube from his arms and pointed it at the pirate. The man was stunned. At this moment, there was a bang, which shocked the earth. The pirate screamed and fell to the ground, unable to live.

Just when everyone was still in shock, the young man took a step forward and pressed Shen Ming's head with the musket in his hand, threatening fiercely: "If you want to die, I will teach your subordinates to do it!"

Shen Ming was stunned and his teeth were in a fight. He saw a big hole in his accomplice's chest. The man was dead and his blood was still flowing. He couldn't help but tremble and said, "Get back, back back, put down the knife." Seeing this, the accomplice around him dared not get close. At this time, a second pirate named Ruan Ji had occasionally seen a musket. If this thing was not filled with a bullet, he could only fire a sound and said loudly: "This little guy is cheating, and the musket can only be fired. Everyone is standing side by side and chop him up."

The boss gave up the knife, and the second boss asked to attack. The gang of pirates looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to, but Shen Ming's eyes turned slightly, and seemed to be a little suspicious. The young man suddenly became angry, strangled his neck with his left hand, and knocked his muzzle on Shen Ming's temple with his right hand, and nailed it there with a muzzle. He drank: "If you don't believe it, come, just kill this person in front of him, the second boss is so good!" Shen Ming's forehead immediately flowed out blood, and he thought that the little bastard was very strong. After hearing what his second boss said, he stared at Ruan Ji fiercely and shouted sternly: "No one is allowed to come, otherwise I will sink him into the sea to feed the sharks."

The man holding the musket just now accidentally hit Ruan Ji's thoughts. He winked at his confidant beside him and said loudly: "Big boss, this little guy is a fraud, this musket can only sound one time!" He then called out, "Go up together, chop this kid." Seeing that several of Shen Ming's confidants were still hesitating, Ruan Ji had already decided to take advantage of the chaos and forced him forward step by step, holding a short knife in his hand, and said grimly: "You little guy is cheating, I don't believe it..." Before he finished speaking, an iron crossbow arrow shot into the back of his head with a whoosh. He didn't even scream, and then pounced on the ground.

The man then let out a sigh, put away the musket, and sighed, "I didn't expect that there were still some thieves who knew muskets." He kicked Shen Ming to the ground with one foot and said in a deep voice: "Isn't this the first time I'm killing innocent people, right?" At this time, more than 20 people dressed in boatmen turned out from behind the nearby houses and from the grass. Each of them held a powerful crossbow and slowly approached the pirates in the cottage.

Someone shouted sternly: "Don't you throw the knife down?"

A dozen pirates were hesitant, and the man's face darkened. He pressed his left hand down without anyone's knowledge. He immediately shot the crossbow arrows around him, shooting all the dozen pirates, leaving only the bandit leader Shen Ming, who was sank on the ground. The man said leisurely: "You are a genital to me, Li Sihai, you are a kind of person." Shen Ming exclaimed in a flash of voice, "Ah?" Li Sihai's face changed suddenly, he stepped forward quickly, kicked him in his temple. Shen Ming didn't know how to avoid it, and Sheng Shengmu was kicked to death by this man.

Seeing that all the pirates were killed, Li Sihai waved his hand and asked his subordinates to clean up the body. He turned around and bowed to Huang Jian, "Li Sihai, whose name is Xiaoyao, has just scared Mr. Zhoushan, so please forgive me." His expression was normal, and he did not have the murderous aura of executing more than a dozen pirates in one fell swoop.
