Japanese pirates have been causing trouble along the Jiangnan coast for many years.
Even before the Fire Evil Sect, Japanese pirates existed on the sea, but they were not as rampant as they are today.
Therefore, residents all along the coast are aware of the ferocity and power of Japanese pirates. In many places, they often stop crying upon hearing the sound and do not dare to provoke them. Of course, there are also bold warriors who spontaneously gather brave warriors from all over the surrounding areas together, just so that when the Japanese pirates come ashore, they can jointly fight against the Japanese pirates so that they will not be alone. Therefore, close to the coastal areas, there are really not a few villages like Meijia Village and Wugong Village used to defend against Japanese pirates.
Most of these villages are not martial arts sects, but are anti-Japanese fortresses built spontaneously by Jiangnan anti-Japanese warriors to resist Japanese pirate attacks. Among them, most of the villages cannot do without the support of Xiaoyaomen. Therefore, Xiaoyao Sect can become the first martial arts sect in Jiangnan not only because of its strength, but also because it is indeed a sect with a sense of justice, which makes many small sects have no choice but to join.
The previous Meijiazhai was mainly built based on the power of Meijiazhai, so it was still considered a Jianghu sect. As for this Wugong Village, when you hear the name, it doesn't look like a martial arts sect. It is a place where residents from all over the coast live, and it is also an important base for fighting against Japanese pirates.
In order to ensure that Wugong Stronghold would not be breached like Meijiazhai, Wang Jinghao and Chu Wei had arranged the newly trained officers and soldiers around Wugong Stronghold. At the same time, Ren Xiaoyao specially sent two masters, Fifth Line and Hu Daiwei, together with Xue Qingrou's Kunlun Sect, to the Wugong Village to help out.
However, neither Wu Xing nor Hu Daiwei nor Xue Qingrou knew anyone from Wugong Village. Therefore, they could only rely on Ren Xiaoyao's letters to prove their identity.
The leader of Wugong Village, named Wu Shitong, was originally a martial artist with no family or sect. He had traveled extensively before and learned from many experts, and finally acquired good martial arts skills. Originally, he was used to being idle, so he didn't want to join a gang. But when he returned to his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River, he found that the place was often disturbed by Japanese pirates, so he felt resentful, so he united the nearby villagers and built the Wugong Village with the help of Xiaoyaomen.
This martial arts stronghold was built extremely tall, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack from all sides. Wu Shitong asked the villagers to move into the village, and except for farm work, they usually lived in the village. Japanese pirates have raided Wugong Village many times, but they have never succeeded. Wu Shitong taught martial arts to the young people in the village when he had time, and then he formed his own militia, and they fought the Japanese pirates head-on, and they would not lose in a short time. It's just that the village is too weak, young and old, so it must not be broken by the Japanese pirates. Once it is broken, it will definitely become a massacre.
Wu Shitong was well aware of the heavy responsibility, so after Xiaoyaomen raised the flag of righteousness and Meijiazhai and Leiyintang were destroyed one after another, he never dared to leave Wugong Village for even half a step, fearing that Wugong Village would follow in their footsteps.
Of course, Ren Xiaoyao also knew that Wu Shitong was not the leader of a faction, but just a righteous anti-Japanese person who organized a voluntary militia, so it was necessary for him to attend the anti-Japanese conference. As long as he defends Wugong Village, it will be the greatest support for Xiaoyao Sect.
Xiaoyaomen's purpose of raising the flag this time is not only to defend, but also to launch an attack when necessary.
Wu Xing and Hu Daiwei were always cautious when doing things. Since the news that Longdao would get was that Japanese pirates might come ashore early tomorrow morning, it would be best for them to rush to Wugong Village before midnight so that they could have time to plan.
So the fifth line and others quickened their pace and finally arrived in front of the gate of Wugong Village. When Wugong Village heard that many people were coming, they thought they were launching an early attack and actually fired arrows at them to demonstrate. Fortunately they haven't reached the point where bows and arrows are capable.
The fifth line was the first to go up and shout: "I am the fifth line below. Under the orders of the old sect leader Ren and the alliance leader Sheng, I am leading the Kunlun sect's noble men to help the leader of the Wu village against the Japanese bandits."
"How do we know that you are not pretending to be Japanese pirates?" A person on the top of the stronghold said dubiously.
"I have a letter from Master Ren here. I would also like to ask Master Wu to read it and know if it is true or not." The fifth line said.
"Thieves, don't even think about tricking our village leader into leaving. Master Ren has sent a message to say that the Japanese pirates will attack our village probably tonight. You should leave quickly, otherwise our bows and arrows will not recognize anyone." Then. People are becoming more disbelieving.
"Please also ask the Master of Wu Village to show up!" The fifth line strongly requested to meet the Master of Wu Shitong.
"Our village leader won't see you, so hurry up and leave!" the man said.
The fifth line did not expect that he would be rejected. He must have suffered similar losses in Wugong Village before, so he became much more cautious.
It is better to be cautious when sailing a ten thousand year ship. The fifth line did not think it was against the grain and still proposed to see the leader of Wu Village.
The village guard was still about to refuse, but suddenly a powerful man walked up to the village gate and asked: "Who is in the fifth line? Come closer and talk!"
The fifth line walked over without any doubt. Zhizhi originally wanted to stop him, fearing that he would be in danger, but the fifth line was full of confidence.
As soon as the fifth row approached, the leader of Wu Village suddenly laughed loudly and said: "It is indeed the fifth young hero. Open the gate of the village to welcome the distinguished guests!"
"Master Wu Village knows me?" the fifth line asked in surprise.
"I don't know. However, if you are really Japanese pirates, and I ask you to come closer, you will not dare." The leader of Wu Village analyzed.
"That makes sense." Then the fifth line of Kunlun Sect members quickly entered the Wugong Village.
In the fifth line, Wu Shitong came out with a letter from Ren Sect Master, and Wu Shitong believed it even more. Time was running out, so everyone immediately discussed countermeasures. At this time, when Wu Shitong knew that not only were the heroes of the Kunlun faction coming to help, but there were also officers and soldiers ambushing around, his nervous heart suddenly relaxed.
You know, most of the time in the past, they could only rely on the strength of one village to fight against the Japanese pirates who might come ashore at any time. How could he not feel extremely relaxed if he had these two strong supports? Although Xiaoyao Sect also strongly supports Wugong Village, it cannot send people to protect Wugong Village at any time. Most of the time, they still have to rely on Wu Shitong and the others.
After Wu Shitong read the letter, he said: "So, the Japanese pirates most likely landed at Fengshitan?"
"That's what the news says. Japanese pirates have always liked to set up enchantment formations, and Master Ren doesn't fully believe them, so he sent us here." The fifth line answered.
"It's the best. Wu is so lucky to have the help of two great swordsmen and the heroes of Kunlun Sect!" Wu Shitong said, and immediately thanked everyone.
"Master Wu, you're welcome. When you see an injustice on the road, draw your sword to help. May I ask the master, when Japanese pirates attacked this village in the past, where did they like to attack from?" the fifth line asked.
"It's the east gate where you just came in." Wu Shitong replied.
"Oh! No wonder the village leader was so nervous just now."
