Chapter 146 Are you pirates? I am not a pirate!
Fortunately, the conditions on the coast were still good. Although the wind and waves were huge, they were still some distance away from them. Xia Qin led an army of 10,000 to land safely.
After Mo Ye was the first to reach the shore, he alertly discovered the messy footprints on the beach not far away. He frowned and stared at the footprints with serious eyes, as if thinking about something.
Looking at the expanding tornado and rolling lightning in the distance, Xia Qin knew that time was running out and there could be no delay. She made a prompt decision and ordered everyone to continue marching towards the shore and find a safe place to rest for a while.
"Xia Xia, there may be someone in the woods," Mo Ye reminded Xia Qin quietly, with a hint of nervousness in his voice, "A Gui and I will go over and check the situation first."
As they spoke, Mo Ye and A Gui ran towards the woods at an extremely fast speed. Their figures were like ghosts and disappeared in the dense forest in an instant.
At this time, the sky has been divided into two parts. The east is dark and raging, and the golden sunset in the west is gradually fading. The whole sky seems to be slowly swallowed by darkness.
Under the strong wind, the dark forest was filled with harsh sounds, and the branches rubbing against each other made sharp creaking sounds that were creepy.
With the occasional light seeping in from the violent swaying of the trees, Mo Ye and A Gui were concentrating on searching for the person lying in ambush in the forest.
However, in this dim environment, it is too difficult to distinguish human figures. Not to mention human figures, even the shadows of trees are difficult to distinguish.
However, what Mo Ye did not expect was that the other party attacked without any warning.
Despite the harsh noises around him, Mo Ye was still keenly aware that an arrow was flying towards him.
Perhaps the opponent thought that he could hide in such a chaotic environment, so he took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Mo Ye. Mo Ye did not dodge, but instead jumped in the direction of the arrow, accurately caught the arrow with his hand, and found the attacker's location in the air along the flight path of the arrow.
Seeing Mo Ye's reaction, the attacker couldn't help but be stunned. He never expected that Mo Ye would have such extraordinary skills. This was completely beyond his expectations.
Realizing that something was wrong, he wanted to escape, but it was obviously too late. Mo Ye appeared in front of him like a ghost, with the black jade sword in his hand against his neck.
"Who are you?" Mo Ye was not in a hurry to take his life because he hoped to get more useful information from this man.
"You bastard Japanese, now that I'm in your hands, stop talking nonsense, kill me or chop me up, whatever you want!"
With the dim light and the childish voice, Mo Ye saw that the person under the sword was a big boy about the same age as Ah Gui, but thinner than Ah Gui.
Mo Ye raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Who told you that I am Japanese?"
The young man's face flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense! You are a Japanese, don't pretend here, you are trying to trick me, you damn Japanese!"
Mo Ye's eyes were cold, he raised his hand and slapped him, making the young man see stars.
He said indifferently: "Don't be stupid, listen carefully, I will say it again, I am not a Japanese. Now, tell me, who are you."
The young man was slapped, but he still stared at Mo Ye, his eyes full of hatred and anger, but at the same time also revealed a hint of clear stupidity.
He clenched his teeth and said nothing.
Mo Ye looked at him and suddenly laughed: "Little brother, you are a tough guy, but apart from your foul mouth, you don't seem to have any other skills. Come with me."
The young man looked at Mo Ye's departing back and seemed to think that this man did not look like a Japanese. He could not help but ask weakly with doubt: "Where are you taking me?"
"If I were going to kill you I wouldn't ask so many questions. Let's go. I'll take you to a place that proves we are not Japanese."
Mo Ye didn't look back, and Ah Gui immediately followed him. The young man hesitated for a moment, touched his red face from being slapped, and quickly followed.
Xia Qin was surprised to see Mo Ye bringing out a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, and asked, "Is this a little Japanese thief?"
When the boy heard this, he was immediately furious and shouted, "You are the Japanese pirate! I am an anti-Japanese soldier!"
Xia Qin was not angry, but asked in confusion: "Not the Japanese pirates? The anti-Japanese army? My brother has fought here? It seems not? Also, why is his face so red?"
Mo Ye replied calmly: "I beat him, so that he would use his brain when speaking and doing things in the future."
At this time, they saw that the tornado in the distance seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the army had begun to march towards the woods.
Xia Qin smiled bitterly, and then said to the little boy very kindly: "My name is Mu Jinyan, I am the governor of Yangzhou, and the commander of the anti-Japanese army, Mu Jinyu, is my elder brother, so we are not Japanese pirates."
When the little boy heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Mu Jinyan? Are you really the sister of General Mu Jinyu, the female governor?"
Xia Qin smiled and nodded, saying, "It's absolutely genuine."
"Why are you here?" The little boy's face was full of confusion.
Mo Ye did not answer his question, but asked: "Do you know why I hit you just now?"
The little boy said a little aggrievedly: "I guess I always thought you were Japanese and you were angry."
"No," Mo Ye said calmly, "Can't you tell the difference between the warships of Daxia and Japan? Can't you tell the difference between the clothing and weapons of Japan and Daxia? With your martial arts level and the situation in the forest just now, how stupid it is to choose a sneak attack? Do you know how crooked your arrow is?"
The little boy felt a little embarrassed by Mo Ye's series of questions. He looked at Mo Ye blankly and unconsciously touched his face which had just been hit.
Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye, not understanding why he was so angry, but still patiently explained to the little boy: "We were going to march from the sea to Longyan City and attack there, but we encountered some problems at sea and were forced to land here. You said you were an anti-Japanese army?"
"Attack Longyan City?" The little boy suddenly remembered something, and did not reply to Mo Ye and Xia Qin. "Oh, by the way, Brother Long and the others thought you were pirates, and they are discussing how to deal with you!"
"Brother Long? Who is he?" Xia Qin thought about it and it seemed that there seemed to be no general with the surname Long among the anti-Japanese army generals.
Mo Ye whispered, "These people should be the local spontaneously organized resistance army, and they named themselves the Anti-Japanese Army."
After hearing what Mo Ye said, the little boy nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's what the elder brother said. We are a spontaneously formed army. We named ourselves the Anti-Japanese Army, and we are specifically fighting against those hateful Japanese pirates."
His eyes flashed with determination and pride, as if everything they did was fighting for justice.
The little boy continued, "Shall I take you to see Brother Long? No, I'll bring Brother Long to see you!"
Things developed somewhat unexpectedly, just like the unpredictable weather.
The tornado that was expected to make landfall suddenly changed direction and headed south, and the worrying rainstorms did not arrive as expected.
Xia Qin and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the tension in their hearts was relieved a little.
The atmosphere in the woods gradually calmed down and the sky began to clear.
However, the sky was gradually darkening and night was falling quietly. The recruits, who had been drifting on the sea for more than a day, took this opportunity to take a short rest and restore their strength.
They sat on the ground, eating dry food, drinking water, and enjoying this moment of tranquility.
