The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 166 Battle of Merchant Ships

"It was you who ordered Chu Ling to lead the troops to capture Changsheng Island. Now, what are you planning to do?" Jiang Li said, looking at her meaningfully: "Let me guess, you must have guessed that Chu Ling had broken the barrier on the sea, so you conspired with others to break into my Changsheng Island again, right?"

Zhou Xingyue was shocked, as if Jiang had seen through all her thoughts.

A chill suddenly rose in my heart. The Jiang in front of me seemed like a devil crawling out of the underworld to take my life.

Zhou Xingyue regretted setting foot on this island of immortality. She didn't understand why everyone was reborn, and everything she did was wrong, while the Jiang family, whom she used to look down upon, ended up in such a good place.

Is this a joke that God played on her?

Zhou Xingyue shook her head repeatedly in pain, denying it flatly: "No, no, sister-in-law, it hurts——."

Jiang Li thought of her previous life in the book. Zhou Xingyue had used the Lin family and the old Zhou family to bully her original husband and wife many times, and she felt very angry.

On the surface, it was Lin and Zhou Laosan who disliked the eldest wife, but every time Zhou Xingyue was there to fan the flames behind the scenes.

Before the seventh day after Old Man Zhou's death, the original couple, at the instigation of Zhou Xingyue, were driven out of the Zhou family by Lin on the pretext of paying five taels of silver.

And then there was Heng'er's previous life's worry. Every time Zhou Xingyue saw that child, her condition would worsen. What did Zhou Xingyue say and do during this period? Did she really think no one knew?

The little girl was so cruel that she even killed the children and wiped out the last hope of the eldest wife.

If she was smart, after being reborn and knowing that their eldest wife is not easy to mess with now, she should restrain her temper instead of playing with her little tricks again and again.

At this time, a black-clad guard came hurriedly to report: "Island Master, Mingye sent a subordinate back to report that a merchant ship with strange movements was spotted at sea, and it seems to be heading towards our island."

Island owner!?

Zhou Xingyue looked at Jiang in front of her in shock.

Jiang Shi is actually the island owner? How is it possible? How could she be the island owner?

In his previous life, wasn't the owner of Changsheng Island a cowardly old scholar with no skills or abilities?!

Zhou Xingyue only felt a buzzing sound in her ears, and everything in front of her seemed unreal like a dream.

Hearing this, Jiang Li glanced coldly at Zhou Xingyue's distraught expression: "As expected, the Ouyang family, a family of imperial merchants for generations, the path you have chosen in this life is still a dead end!"

Boom~!

Jiang Li's words once again shattered all of Zhou Xingyue's senses.

She didn't understand what Jiang meant, but she seemed to understand.

How could it be a dead end? It couldn’t be a dead end. As long as Ouyang Xuan led his men to capture Changsheng Island, this island would be a refuge for the two of them.

Ouyang Xuan has a large number of skilled assassins. She doesn't believe that the people on this island can defeat Ouyang Xuan.

Jiang Li didn't bother to mock the flash of confidence in her eyes. He signaled to the guards, "Gather everyone, go out to sea, and fight!"

"Yes."

Yuan Niang and others still don’t understand something. No wonder the master is so angry. It seems that the ship on the sea is a thief brought by this woman.

"Madam, what should we do with this person?"

Jiang Li turned away Zhou Xingyue's face in disgust: "Bring her along, and let her see how her backer falls."

"Yes!" Ming Qing and Ming Yang were so angry that they gritted their teeth and dragged the man out.

Zhou Xingyue was a little dazed. When she turned around, she saw Jiang Li calling out a huge wild wolf. She was so scared that her pupils suddenly constricted.

Jiang Li glanced at the little thing and said with a faint smile: "Let's go, go out to sea with me!"

"Awoo~!" Awoo raised his neck happily. Fighting was more interesting than basking in the sun.

Jiang Li turned around and told Yuan Niang and the others, "Help me take care of the children at home."

"Yes, ma'am."

In reality, Jiang Li hadn't expected the other party to act so quickly. She'd assumed it would be just like the plot she'd imagined. Zhou Xingyue had deliberately used the excuse of recuperating on the island to act as an insider, colluding with outsiders before the other party took action.

But it’s better this way, a quick and decisive battle!

Jiang Li and Ao Wu had just stepped out of the Jianglin Pavilion when another guard came rushing in to report, "Madam Li, something bad has happened. The men in the pavilion have spotted not just one ship, but five or six large ships approaching our island from different directions."

Jiang Li's face instantly turned cold, and he frowned. He said to the two guards guarding the gate, "Call all the tribesmen immediately and guard all the entrances to the island."

"Yes."

The guards hurriedly made arrangements and took all the women, old and young to Jianglin Pavilion for safety. All the men took up their weapons and vowed to fight to the death to prevent the thieves from entering the island.

This time, Ouyang Xuan mobilized all his secretly raised assassins to capture Changsheng Island in one fell swoop and possess all the treasures collected on the island.

The enemy's fierce attack was beyond Jiang Li's expectation, so she had to ask Yuan Niang to send a pigeon to Yanzhou City. Even if Deputy General Cheng's troops failed to arrive in time, it was at least the last way out for Changsheng Island.

"put!"

Following Jiang Li's order, artillery fire roared across the entire sea.

There were no weapons deployed on the Ouyang family's merchant ship, and the distance was too far. The assassins on the ship had no time to jump to the Changsheng Island's ship, and were hit by the artillery fire and suffered heavy casualties.

"Ah, ah, ah!!" With screams, the burning firemen fell into the sea to escape.

On the deck, Ouyang Xuan stared in disbelief at the approaching warship. He had no idea that munitions were hidden on the island. It was truly a treasure island coveted by the world.

The sea breeze blew over, and a raging fire ignited at the stern of his warship. At this point, Ouyang Xuan had no way to retreat. Even if his ship was bombarded by artillery fire, the people on the four or five large ships he sent out would always have the assassins lurking on the island.

He just needs to find a way to seize the warship on the opposite side and land on the island, and things will be easy.

So, Ouyang Xuan immediately gave orders, ordering his men to speed up the boat.

Zhou Xingyue knelt on the deck shivering. The sea breeze in her face was bitingly cold, but it was not as cold as the sudden chill rising in her heart.

Even if she were to live her life again, she had never witnessed such a scene. She simply couldn't believe that a woman like Jiang could lead everyone on the island to sail out to sea and command the battle.

She didn't dare move, not even a finger.

Because, in front of her was a wild wolf licking its mouth, ready to pounce on her at any time.

As the two ships gradually closed in on each other, Jiang Li took the lead before Ouyang Xuan could speak: "Kill them!"

"Yes!"

Huh, huh, huh!

Zhou Xingyue shuddered at Jiang Li's murderous cry. When she looked up again, she saw black-clad guards nimbly leaping onto Ouyang Xuan's merchant ship.

Suddenly, there was a burst of murderous sounds and the sharp sound of swords clashing from the sea.

The opponent's preemptive action once again made Ouyang Xuan's elegant and calm face flash with surprise, which disappeared in an instant. He quickly ordered his assassins to fight.

"If you capture the warship on the opposite side, I will reward you handsomely."

"Yes!"

Some of the assassins followed the order and jumped onto Jiang Li's ship during the fight.

"Ouch!!"

The cry of a wolf was heard, and a warrior was knocked to the deck by the huge prey.

"what!!!"

The assassin had no time to resist, and with a painful cry, a broken arm was thrown in front of Zhou Xingyue.

"Ah~"

Zhou Xingyue was so frightened that her face turned pale and she fell backwards, retreating in horror.
