Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty-One

From Wuli to Fangcun, you can get there in a short while. There are 70 or 80 households in Fang Village, located beside the Cao River leading to Guazhou, and 78 out of 10 are peasant households. In the south of the village and in the north of the village, there are several uncles in Yangzhou who have built garden villas here. It takes half an hour to travel to Fucheng by fast boat, and the water journey is less than 20 miles. Sancha River is also called Zhuyu Bay, which has the same name as Zhuyu Bay in Wantou. The Cao River diverges here, right (west) flows through Yizhen to Nanjing, and left (east) flows to Guazhou to Zhenjiang Fucheng.

Although Sanchahe Town is considered a large wharf, it is too close to Fucheng. Passenger and cargo ships and tank ships do not moor in Sanchahe Town unless necessary. The reason why Zhuyu Bay is famous is probably that Monk Jianzhen sailed to Dongying here, and the location is on the river bank near the beautiful Wenfeng Pagoda, which was newly built for more than ten years. Instead, the new pagoda has become a scenic spot in Yangzhou. It seems that it has nothing to do with Monk Jianzhen. It was built to suppress the tide of the river. It was completed more than ten years ago (the tenth year of Wanli) and became an indicator for boats to sail.

There is no pier in Fangcun, and the privately-owned transport boats are directly moored. Usually, this village does not attract attention. Friends from the rivers and lakes will never patronize such a small village. Hooligans with a little common sense also know that there is no place for small dragons and snakes to survive here. Juejian used this place as a secret hideout, and took Sanchahe Town as the activity center to attract the attention of dragons and snakes from all sides, and received the expected results, even the running dogs of the Yangzhou imperial envoy were also fooled. During this period, his strategy of catching suspicious prey was quite successful, and he even got the sub-important figures of Yuehuamen.

Besides, besides the lackeys of the Huguang Imperial Commissioner's Mansion, he also got some people from the other three minions of the Imperial Commissioner's Mansion, and severely tortured them to see if there was any secret collusion with the sect. The lackeys of the Huguang Imperial Envoy's Mansion are the masters of suffering, so there is no need to pursue them. It is a pity that the captured person could not provide any suspicious clues. Yinshen is the deputy sect master of Yuehua sect and the number two leader, but he can't give any relevant information, and firmly stated that sect master Chen will never conspire with leader Hang, and those who collude with him will take away the tribute boat.

It is even more impossible for her to participate in the conspiracy to betray all disciples, but she dare not guarantee the innocence of Master Hang. In fact, Master Hang was a little reluctant when he discussed the conditions for the distribution of spoils in Sany at the beginning.So temporarily coerce outsiders to pretend to be disciples of the Huntian Sect to show that they have a large number of people and ask for more gold and silver. If you can swallow it whole, of course you deserve it. At the end of the second watch, the whole village was dead silent. People in the countryside work at sunrise and rest at sunset, not to mention that during the agricultural holidays, there is no need to waste lamp oil at night, so the whole village looks dark.

There are no ghosts on the banks near the river. All boats traveling to and from the Cao River have their navigation lights on, so they must be able to see the shore. On the lookout pavilion in front of the Luo family mansion in the north of the village, there are people monitoring the river bank to watch out for any suspicious fast boats docking. The security is quite complete. The Luo family has a lot of houses, and the scale is no worse than that of the Sanchahe Feng family. They also have five entrances and four courtyards, with gardens on three sides, only slightly inferior in grandeur and luxury.

At night, in some corners, there were long-burning lamps for lighting, but in the past two days, all lighting lamps have been banned from burning, and the whole house is pitch black. The lackeys of the Yangzhou Imperial Commissioner's Mansion suddenly entered the Sancha River in a large scale, showing their strength and leading the surrounding suburbs. The people of Absolute Sword could not withdraw in Banglin, and the security of the Luo family tonight seemed empty and weak, more deserted and gloomy, and it became a veritable haunted house with a dead master, and a forbidden area that villagers dare not approach.

The flower hall in the inner hall is the only place with lights. Around the carved round table, there are four men and two women seated in the exquisite brocade. They are drinking tea and talking at the same time. The atmosphere is a bit tense and unnatural. Uneasy, maybe the topic is quite sensitive, everyone's reaction is different. People from the Salt Bureau visited Sanchahe instead of Sangli. What is certain is that they got the correct information and knew that our meeting place in Sangli was a cover to deceive others. Then, who leaked the secret?Juejian is not angry but mighty, and asks the question angrily: They are not fooled, our clever plan to catch the big fish has failed, hum!There are spies among our people, we have to find out, who do you think may be involved?

You have recruited too many soldiers and horses with complicated personalities. It is difficult to guarantee whether any of the secret agents from the imperial envoy's office have been infiltrated undercover. Anyone may be involved.Yunhua Xianshi analyzed it in the tone of an expert: the lackeys of the imperial envoys all over the world have a group of secret agents who operate secretly, and only a few confidant leaders participate in the planning and command of those who master these secret agents.The imperial envoy of Yangzhou, Ji Lu, was sinister and cruel, and he was scheming and willing to spend money. It was easy to support a hundred secret agents, and it was not difficult to send ten or eight secret agents undercover.If you suspect that I'm an agent, I don't blame you. This is a normal reaction, and you should be suspicious.However, you don't have to waste time on me. I took a boat from Hangzhou to Shandong, and in Guazhou I ran into someone I asked my friends to help me with, so I stayed and sincerely joined you in the grand event.Many people know my whereabouts, and it is impossible to be hired as a secret agent of the imperial envoy.

In a short period of time, Absolute Sword has summoned many dragons and snakes from the rivers and lakes. The means of coercion and temptation are remarkable, and the strategy of uniting alliances is also excellent. It can be said that he is the most powerful and successful group among the many groups who came to make a fortune upon hearing the news. However, because it is a temporary combination formed in a hurry, the good and the bad are mixed, and the identity is difficult to know. It is inevitable that there will be secret agents mixed into the undercover agents. The meaning of Yunhua Xianshi's words was actually to show his innocence.

Of course, they didn't know that someone planned to spread the word in Fucheng, prompting the lackeys of the imperial envoy's government to make a big move, effectively disrupting their clever plan to set up an ambush to capture the leader of the lackeys. All the dragons and snakes, including Juejian, have almost determined that the leader of the hang has colluded with the people from the imperial envoy of Yangzhou and seized the tribute boat. Although the water thieves also have this ability, it is absolutely impossible to cooperate so seamlessly. Only those who fully understand the plan of one sect and one sect to seize the ship can cooperate perfectly and smoothly receive the tribute ship from the sect of one sect. The high-level leaders of the lackeys of the imperial envoy must be caught in order to track down the whereabouts of the tribute boat. The lackeys are making a big move, and the possibility of successfully capturing the leader is too small. Miss Ke, please don't worry too much.Fan Renjie said sincerely: Brother Xu, if he doubted the people present, he would not have proposed an impromptu discussion.Brother Xu's suspicion is not unfounded, and the undercover secret agent is not groundless, and it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the investigation. Tracking down the spies is not an easy task. We don't have much time to pay attention to internal affairs. We must carry out a thunderous search for the whereabouts of the tribute ship.If it dragged on any longer, the gold and silver treasures on the tribute boat would probably be gone by now.Happy Yidao is not good at using scheming, and opposes wasting time on the investigation of spies: No one has returned to report the news for a long time, and it seems that there is no movement anywhere, so I have to send someone to Sanchahe to check. I am a little worried about the safety of the people staying in Feng's house. All of you stay around Banglin Village, playing cat and mouse with the lackeys.The lackeys are eager for a decisive battle and will not waste time in Sanchahe Town. It is useless to search the unimportant old rivers and lakes, so there is no need to worry.Immortal Yunhua pushed the boat along and changed the subject: Brother Xu, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to leave the people from the Yuehuamen in the Feng family of Sanchahe! Too late to withdraw!Jue Jian smiled wryly: Guessing that the lackeys will not come out in full force, they must send important people to bring a few confidantes, just looking for an opportunity to make a surprise attack, how did they expect them to make a big move? If there are undercover spies among our people, it is likely to spread the news about the Feng family Only a few people know about this matter, and we firmly believe that there can be no spies among these few people.Absolute Sword's tone was affirmative. If an accident happened to those who stayed in the Feng family, it would definitely not be the work of lackeys.Dianlong's tone was more resolute: Among the ghosts and monsters in the world, there are indeed some well-informed people. Even if they know that the Feng family has a secret, they will not reveal it to the lackeys. The news cannot be exchanged for a bounty. The half-covered hall door suddenly opened slowly and silently, followed by a light cough, intended to attract the attention of the people in the hall. That's not necessarily the case.A familiar voice came into my ears, and at the same time there was a knock on the door. The six stood up vigilantly, their expressions changing. The door of the hall was wide open, and Zhao Xin was standing in front of the door, the pistol in his right hand was patted on his left palm, and there was a strange smile on his face. Huh!You Juejian exclaimed in surprise. In Banglin Tianfeng Pavilion, he didn't want to deal with Zhao Xin in front of his companions, so he talked with Zhao Xin from a distance, wanting to kill Zhao Xin with a fatal blow, so as not to let his companions know the secret between him and Zhao Xin . He is a general who teaches one way and takes action, and Zhao Xin is a counselor who teaches one way. If the secret is revealed, his situation will be greatly worsened. Of course Zhao Xin also felt the same way, tacitly. Of course it is me, only I can find you.Zhao Xin stepped across the threshold and approached step by step, flapping his short spear: You are crowded during the day, and I am afraid of you.You and I have to make a deal, so I have to come to you. asshole!Are you not afraid of me now?Absolute Sword was furious. The three people you sent outside have already fallen asleep and dreamed of Duke Zhou.Six to one, I should be afraid, but you must end your business as soon as possible, I am afraid that I will have to come, at least I have to try my luck, right? You bastard is really a rogue!Jue Jian was able to suppress his anger: During this period, your fate was indeed great, and it is a miracle that you are still alive.fuck you!What else do you and I need to end?I don't pursue your business anymore.you go!Any one of my people can break you into eight dollars, get out of here! Absolute Sword can no longer lead him outside the house to deal with, so as not to arouse even greater suspicion from his companions. If he reveals the past partnership between the two parties, it will affect the development of the situation and be extremely unfavorable. On the beautiful face of Immortal Yunhua Shi, there was a look of disgust. Anyone can break Zhao Xin into eight pieces, hurt the fairy's self-esteem, and feel disgusted with Absolute Sword's ignorance. If it is ignorance, it is boasting. The female fairy's social status is unmatched among these people. Among the six men and women present, their names and prestige are guaranteed to be the first. In Tianfeng Pavilion, the Banshee Immortal was a hundred steps away, seeing that Juejian was not sure about dealing with Zhao Xin, she chased it out on a whim, at a speed like lightning, intending to show off. In the end, he caught up with Zhao Xin, and in the end, he was disheartened. Of course, the banshee fairy did not tell the story. At least, the banshee fairy couldn't unravel Zhao Xin. Absolute Sword is so ignorant of powerful enemies, it is quite dangerous to be a commander. It is not surprising that failure is caused by knowing oneself but not knowing the enemy. Zhao Xin already understood that the three guards outside had been restrained. He dreamed of Duke Zhou when he was asleep, which meant that he controlled the sleeping point and did not kill the guards. The martial arts of these three guards are at least not much different from the people present here, but they were silently restrained in the guards. It can be seen that Zhao Xin's real talent and learning are by no means inferior to anyone present here. The Banshee finally sees through Juejian's eagerness to send Zhao Xin away. Brother Xu, you understand what I meant when I said the end.Zhao Xin didn't appreciate it, and refused to accept Jue Jian's kindness to send him out safely. damn it!You don't go too far to piss me off.Jue Jian's anger rose again. How dare I provoke you?I'm afraid you'll break me down to eight yuan! you Even if I beg you.Zhao Xin puts on the posture of a weak person: For the past friendship, I will not mention the past wisely, and shut up in front of you obediently, I just ask you to hold your hand high. Is it blackmail?The anger raised by Absolute Sword cooled down again. Stop praising me, how can I be a blackmailer?You Juejian is a powerful blackmailer and an expert in extortion without any disadvantages. fuck you Give me the Yin God.If you find the tribute boat in the future, I will withdraw from the competition immediately, and I will not share any of your stolen goods. Is it affectionate enough? don't think about it, you Brother Xu, don't push me to extremes.Zhao Xin's face sank, and he no longer showed weakness: I believe that you have already obtained the secret that Yin God knows, and she is useless to you. Don't give me bad ideas.Jue Jian interrupted him: I want to use her to draw Master Hang and Master Chen out. The news has been released. Those two bastards will definitely come to rescue her. I must catch them and turn them into ashes. Chase out the royal tribute.It's none of your business, you'd better be sensible, get out before I change my mind!From then on, stay away from the territory of Yangzhou, and forget about the royal tribute, you know?Don't provoke me again, junior. Don't be wishful thinking and self-indulgent, thinking that you are sure to kill me, but in fact, you can't scare me, and I don't care about your intimidation at all.Give Yinshen to me to take away, and everything will be over; if you refuse, I will fight you one-on-one.If your sword can kill me, it will be my fate. Damn it!can you? No, I have to pick you.He flicked his short spear in the middle of the hall, posing a challenge: money and sex are the only things worth fighting for in the world.Nine out of ten heroes who wander the rivers and lakes are willing to gamble their lives for money and sex, and I am no exception.For Yinshen, I bet my life with you, do you dare to bet?Your companions can testify for you. Finding witnesses can avoid the threat of the other party swarming up. These people are all influential people with high-spirited eyes, please come out as witnesses, it is like tying Jue Jian's hands and feet, and cutting off the idea of ​​these accomplices intervening in helping each other. Your request is out of line and violates the rules of the world.Joyfully left his seat and stood up with a knife, approaching ferociously: Brother Xu is the person in charge, and has many friends who support him. He doesn't need to handle everything himself, and his friends can do it for him.Every cat and dog demanded a one-on-one fight, wouldn't the person in charge be too busy?Don't do anything!There is not enough time for killing heads-up players.Junior, let me take a bet with you, bet on my life, bet on the sharpness of my knife. These people are all gangsters who break the way, how could they be fooled? Once there are many people and gangs, the leader does not need to personally deal with various incidents, and his own disciples will come forward to take care of them. It was only natural for Huanhuo to come forward to solve it, and it was impossible for the other party to refuse. That's a personal grievance between Brother Xu and me, so don't stop disaster for him, okay?His own grievances must be shouldered with a straight chest, and there is no need for you to come forward to destroy his prestige, Your Excellency.He used the aggressive method and didn't want to accept the challenge of a happy knife. Sending his brothers to deal with all incidents is a symbol of the authority of the person in charge, and it can only increase Brother Xu's prestige.Also, you don't deserve to challenge anyone at all.Happily raised his sword to press forward, not being provoked to control the law: Junior, even if you knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, I will happily chop off your head with a single knife, thinking that you are an arrogant challenger, understand? the slavish look you're acting The light of the saber was like thunder, and he delivered a fatal blow angrily. The words "slave and cheap" enraged Happy Dao to the point of madness, and suddenly launched a thunder attack. When the knife moved, there was no light but no shadow. In the flickering of the candlelight, the dazzling light of the knife and the sharp aura of the knife suddenly converged and became unstoppable. With a loud bang, the steel knife swung outwards, the knife energy scattered, and the light of the knife flickered sharply. The short spear fiercely blocked the blade, and the shock of the blade was uncontrollable. Both sides controlled the blade with internal force. The angle of contact was different, and the weight of the blade was different. The blade of the blade dared not touch the spear head-on. Taking advantage of the momentum, the short spear drew back and hit Happy Yidao's right rib with a pop. With a strange cry, Joyful swung his saber to the left up to a height of more than a foot, and flew obliquely a zhang away, and barely got off his horse, his expression changed drastically. At this moment, the sky was full of thunder and lightning flashes and sharp whistles, and countless hidden weapons violently concentrated on him. The five men and women, including Yunhua Xianshi, twisted their bodies and raised their hands in succession. The ten hands fired more than ten hidden weapons in an instant. There are no outsiders witnessing here, masters and celebrities team up to attack with hidden weapons, the news will not be leaked, and they will not be criticized. To kill the powerful enemy, any means can be used. There was a loud bang, and before the hidden weapon arrived, he dived two feet sideways, broke through the open window and escaped from the dangerous situation. A flying knife on the nearest outside skimmed over the top of his right foot, cutting a horizontal seam, almost touching the calf. An inch lower and he might be left behind. He dared to break into the secret cave with countless masters at night. His courage and courage are enough to make any master wary. It is inevitable to seize the opportunity to attack with hidden weapons. These masters of the rivers and lakes are not heroes. The first person to chase out from the window was Absolute Sword, who jumped up and chased after him instinctively without thinking. Those who fled broke through the window, at least two or three feet away. Juejian didn't use a fish jump to pass through the window. The open window is big and wide, and when it collapses, it becomes a large square hole, which is enough for a tall person to jump out. The figure passed through the window and still fell forward. With a pop, he was hit on the rear hip. The force was not light, the buttocks were thick, but it was also so painful that his whole body became weak. He jumped down at a faster rate. Hit again. Hey Juejian can't bear it! The pain doubled with the second heavy blow, and he flew forward with a bang, and fell heavily. The first blow was with a musket, the second with the toe of a boot. Zhao Xin broke through the window, hooked the window frame with the toe of his boot, and leaned against the window, shifted sideways, knocked the Juejian that came out with the tail tail, and then followed it with another kick. If he wanted Juejian's life, the first blow could break Juejian's waist, or pierce a big blood hole in his flank. He couldn't kill Jue Jian, at least not right now. Qiong Kou Mo chased after Yunhua Immortal Shi Gaoming who appeared at the window. Zhao Xin has jumped onto the roof of the neighboring house.The person chasing after Juejian was the young woman who was a few years younger than Yunhua Xianshi, who was jumping over the screaming Juejian, and rushed towards the neighbor to jump up. The girl ignored it, and a crane soared into the sky. Countless tiles fell like rain, and each piece made a strange sound. The girl is in the air, how can she dodge? Covering his head with both hands frantically, he swung wildly in a small range, his body fell downwards, the tiles shattered and sand dust flew, and the hit on his body was neither painful nor itchy. I'm going to kill you! The girl stepped back two feet away in embarrassment, screaming towards the roof that was nowhere to be seen. Yunhua Immortal Shi in the window shook his head and exhaled a long breath, as if he knew the result a long time ago, and chasing the poor would not be beneficial. During the daytime in Banglin, the female demon immortal chased after her fiercely, but Juejian and the girl were the result of her pursuit, luckily her life was saved. I want to skin him!Absolute Sword climbed up and screamed fiercely. The six super masters had three teased fighting methods, and they were so disheartened that they never got the chance to fight formally. Back in the hall, the expressions of embarrassment and anger were terrifying, like a group of irritated beasts, the furniture and furnishings in the hall suffered greatly, and became the targets of their venting. The only person who was not excited was Yunhua Xianshi. Only she knew that Zhao Xin was an unfathomable and terrifying master of martial arts, so she could accept the fact of failure without blaming others for excuses. Jue Jian was looking for an excuse to hide his embarrassment. This great swordsman had never formally fought Zhao Xin, but was attacked by surprise. The fault of his failure was not his poor martial arts. After being in a mess for a while, the mood finally settled down. The tea sets and fruits on the table were scattered all over the floor, and there was nothing to eat or drink. This person named Li Xiong or Zhao Xiong, you must not underestimate him in the future.Immortal Yunhua spoke earnestly, and solemnly said to everyone: Even if the world's number one expert, the famous Yu Nei Shuangxian, came, he would not be able to escape our unexpected attack of ten hidden weapons.If you still see him as a pawn, you will die instead of him. He just ran away one step ahead and escaped from the hidden weapon net unintentionally.Happy knife still does not admit defeat, even more arrogant: next time you find him, don't meddle.I don't want him to die happily, I must cut him with a knife.Brother Xu, don't argue with me, he is mine. There is no need to argue, he will come back to us, come back to ask Yinshen, and each of us may meet him again.Dianlong has a lot of experience and knowledge, so it is expected that Zhao Xin will not let it go: what should be done now is to prepare and wait for him to come.I went outside to see what was going on with the three of us on guard. Brother Fan, you'd better not walk outside alone.Yunhua Xianshi said: People must have been made into sleeping holes and stuffed in a dark corner somewhere. Let's search separately, and it would be futile to find dawn. Well!It is indeed not easy to find.I had to give up after ordering a fortune. Even if people are stuffed under the flowers and trees outside the hall, it is difficult to find their shadows when they pass by. Yunhua Immortal Shi is known as the female demon fairy, and she should be the one with the highest martial arts, and she probably also knows sorcery. Lightness kung fu is a bit like illusion or shape change. She suddenly made a warning gesture, the sword was unsheathed quietly, and a rainbow flying electric front was quickly held in the left palm, and she was ready to go, with a tense expression, and her figure flashed, and she appeared behind a large pillar. Each finds a cover, as if facing a big enemy. bang bang!The first bright window was destroyed by outsiders, then the second, and the third The night wind blew in, and the candles flickered. The first figure leaps in, followed by the second and third Twelve men and women came in one after another. They were lined up at one end of the hall, with a weapon in their right hand and a hidden weapon in their left. Descending, the chill hits. The autumn wind is cool in August, and the golden wind is cold in September. Hang Jiaozhu standing in the middle, wearing a loose green robe, with one hand, his figure seems to have swelled three times. The sword of the right hand stretches out the side finger, the hidden dragon's chant shines brightly, and the left hand stretches out a white horsetail to whisk the dust, which is dazzlingly white. On the left is Lin Wuwei, the chief protector of the teaching circle and his daughter Lin Xiaoxia. On the right is Chen Yunshang, the master of Yuehua Gate, Yunshang fairy Chen Yunshang, who is even more dazzling in a white dress. Beside him is the master of the outer hall, the life-threatening Feihong Li Ruhua. The elites from one school to another have arrived, but there are still many people outside the house. Xu Feiyang, you son of a bitch are too much of a bully.Master Hang's sleeves fluttered slowly, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, and the airflow in the hall began to mutate, showing the image of a devil all over his body: "My master is tracking down the whereabouts of the tribute boat, and I have no time to care about you, a bastard, showing off your power. You not only slaughtered many of my friends." , It also hurt some disciples of our sect, and even worse, hijacked the deputy sect master, Yin God Fu Linggu, and arrogantly said that he wanted to settle accounts with the sect master.Here I am, and I want you to be destroyed.Tonight, between you and me, one of them must die.It's time to single out and fight in groups. Juejian appeared beside the round table, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly. There was a strange sound from the wall of the left chamber, the wooden board moved inward, and a door appeared, and eighteen well-dressed men and women came out one after another. The Absolute Sword Six men and women stood side by side in front of the round table, and the eighteen well-dressed men and women lined up on the left and right to guard. You are all here, very good very good.The sound of Jue Jian is like a bell, and the heroic spirit is flying: During this period, you can be said to have shown nothing, like a group of sneaky cowards, it is really disappointing, and finally attracted you out.Well!It seems that you still have a strong strength and a lot to do. damn thing!You seem to mean something. Master Hang, don't act like a mad dog.I lured you out because I didn't want to fight with you to lose both sides. In order to recover the lost royal tribute, I no longer care about it. I plan to work with you fairly to recover the lost royal tribute.If we can't reach an agreement, it's still too late to fight to the death. Fair cooperation again?You don't have big dreams of Qingqiu.Leader Hang's attitude is extremely tough, he seems to be determined, ready to put all his eggs in one basket: the leader has made a correct investigation, and it has been confirmed that you bastard deliberately released rumors to trap the leader, alleging that one sect and one sect colluded with the running dogs of the Yangzhou Imperial Commissioner's Office Robbing the imperial tribute, so you are not included in the wanted list.Moreover, it has been confirmed that the heroes from all walks of life in Yangzhou, including the lackeys of the three imperial envoys, have never participated in the incident of robbing the imperial tribute. Only you are the most involved. The fact that you have gathered a large number of people in the near future is enough to prove that you have planned to rob the tribute ship Ability.Dog, you heard me clearly, I will share half of the tribute, and everything will be closed, otherwise, whoever will not see the sun of the Ming Dynasty. A bright red light was seen outside the window, as if the sky was full of morning glow, and there was a faint crackling sound, which gradually amplified. Hierarch Hang, we are all talking about each other, but you bite like a mad dog and swallow three hundred thousand taels of gold and silver all by yourself.You came here in full force, and I also arranged an ambush. Since you are determined to be alone, and I insist on my own opinion, then the only way to go is to die and live. Suddenly there was a wild scream outside the backyard. The sound of reed whistles and copper horns sounded loudly, seeming to come from all directions. Shocking shouts of wanting to live are also rising one after another: if the prisoner is caught alive, he will be rewarded A masked man appeared in the broken window, whose face could not be seen. The lackeys have surrounded the rear houses and are almost there.The masked man shouted and jumped in through the window. The tiles flew into the hall in an instant, and knocked down a candlestick with a bang. kill!Absolute Sword roared. The crowd frantically dodged, fought back, and retreated. The remaining three lampstands went out almost simultaneously. The hall was pitch-black, and the whistle of the hidden weapon was piercing and piercing, blindly flying in all directions, hitting the pillars and walls without rebounding. The firelight penetrating through the window was not very bright, and it was impossible to spot the target and launch the concealed weapon. In fact, neither side had the intention to really stay and do their best, they only fired one or two hidden weapons, and then hastily withdrew. The lackeys of the imperial envoy have surrounded Luo’s house, set fire to arrest people, and fought head-on on a large scale with the lackeys of the imperial envoy. Their chances of winning are very limited, and retreating is the only way to survive. Although Juejian roared and yelled to kill, he overturned the round table and retreated quickly to the back hall. When the first candlestick was extinguished, Master Hang had already exited the hall door. The masked man entered through the window, and when he landed on the ground, he stuck to the base of the wall. It was dark in front of his eyes, and hidden weapons flew all over the room, but he quickly ran to the side of the secret door. There was chaos in the hall, everyone was scrambling to get out, no one paid attention to the activities of others, and couldn't figure out whether the people beside them were friends or foes. Juejian not only sent ambushes inside the secret door, but also served as a place to hide prisoners. If the house caught fire, the dungeon with double walls couldn't hide. The fire gradually blazed, and the sky was full of red light, and the faces of people could be vaguely distinguished in the hall. The masked man was hiding inside, and no one noticed his presence. In fact, there were not many people inside the secret door, and the people in charge of ambushes had already left the hall to line up, and those who stayed inside were probably the secondary minions guarding the captives. The third person who snatched it out didn't stay, and ran to the back hall as soon as he went out the door. The fourth is a woman, the fifth is also a woman, and the sixth is the one with the sword. The woman was staggering, but she was holding a sword in her hand. Logically, she should not be regarded as a prisoner. There is no possibility of a prisoner carrying a weapon. The masked man stood close to the door, he could see clearly, he was close to the side of the fifth girl, he swiped his palm back with his palm, and hit the imprint of the person who was closely behind the girl. With the upper finger, the girl fell forward, and the sword dropped to the ground. The masked man was quick-witted, grabbed the girl on his shoulders, and fled. The riot in the hall continued, and no one paid attention to the changes outside. The flames are all over the sky, and the fire has become a prairie fire. The police gongs in the village blared wildly, and the villagers picked up fire forks, fire hooks, buckets, and water guns one after another, shouting to prepare to put out the fire. The people of the Luo family mansion ran around and retreated one after another. The house is very large, and there were not many people left behind. The direction of the evacuation route had been determined in advance, so there were no more people scurrying around, and the evacuation speed was very fast. The masked man withdrew from the direction of the backyard, trying to stay away from the fire scene. He heard the sound of reed whistle and copper whistle amidst the violent sound of wood, but he couldn't see anyone. Deliberately create confusion.He muttered in his heart: In fact, there are not many people here, and they don't have the ability to fight.Thanks to these people for creating chaos, I was able to seize the good opportunity to go deep and save people. He completely lost interest in fighting the lackeys and got away first. When we arrived at the outer wall of the back garden, there suddenly appeared two masked men in green shirts at the base of the wall. They stood up from the flowers. Each of them had a white scarf tied around their necks, which was probably an identification mark, and they could be seen more clearly under the firelight. Pulling out the heavy short spear stuck in his waist, he stepped slowly. With someone on his shoulder, it was very inconvenient to use his hands, and he couldn't use it, but he had to break through. Those who stand in my way die!Give Way!He is Zhao Xin, striding forward fearlessly, the tip of the short spear gleaming red against the flames is quite intimidating. The two masked men saw his short spear clearly, and the raised sword drooped. please.The masked man on the right said politely, stretched out his hand to see off the guests, and moved to the left two feet away with his companions to make way. He was taken aback, greatly surprised. There is no trace of invincibility outside, so you can go boldly with confidence.Another masked man said: We set the fire. thanks!He retracted the gun: It's a pity that he released it a little earlier and failed to cause them to fight.The two don't seem to be from the Yangzhou Imperial Commissioner's Office. no. oh!two are Come on, we're leaving too. The figures flashed in succession, flying over the courtyard wall more than ten feet high and disappearing. There were five men ambushed nearby, not two. He was even more confused, why did these people come?Where is it sacred?He seems to know him, with a friendly expression, what is going on? People who can be sure: definitely not the lackeys of the Yangzhou Imperial Commissioner's Office. Full of doubts, he flew away over the courtyard wall. The lackeys of the imperial envoys all over the country were mobilized, and there was a lot of noise in the vicinity of Yangzhou. The grass and trees were full of soldiers, and the imperial convicts were searched, and the situation was chaotic. The rivers and lakes that came to make a fortune hunting dragons and snakes no longer openly walked around, and turned light into darkness one after another, and their activities became more active. The criminal leaders of one religion and one school have disappeared. Although the ghosts and snake spirits are very excited, they are also stunned. One sect and one sect are coming in large numbers, and to capture the leader must have super strength, otherwise, I am afraid that they will be eaten by the people of one sect and one sect instead! Therefore, there is a gradual tendency to form a formal alliance, with the group of Absolute Swords as the center invisibly forming a deformed combination of the alliance. Absolute Sword's prestige rose to an unprecedented level. To the south of Fangcun, the surface of the Cao River gradually widens, with reeds growing on both sides, lush vegetation, and many small bays forming swamps. The tide flows upstream from the big river, so the water level is different in the morning and evening. On this section of the river that goes directly to Guazhou Town, twenty miles away, there are several times fewer ships than the Yizhen River in the west, so unless there are cruise ships going up and down, it is not easy to see the crowded scene. The boat is hidden deep in the reeds in a small creek on the east bank. Two or three miles to the east is the road from Fangcun to Guazhou. Less than two miles upstream is the Luo family compound in Fangcun, which is full of fire. The Luo family compound is in the north of the village, some distance away from the cottages, even if all of them catch fire, it will not affect the cottages. Fortunately, the place where the fire started was a single courtyard, and the villagers put out the fire very enthusiastically. The fire has been brought under control and will not spread to other houses. It is a small boat with a canopy at the back. Some Mizutos use this kind of boat as their home. It can accommodate three or five people. There is a simple kitchenette in the back cabin. It needs two people to drive, but one person can barely operate it. Lighting up the small lantern, the cabin was filled with a dark red hazy light. Fu Linggu, the yin god lying on the deck, was dressed in a discolored dress, which could even be said to be a dirty jade-colored dress. In some places, dried dark Brown blood. He was not in a hurry to relieve the fainting point, he checked Yinshen's injuries first, but unexpectedly found no serious internal and external injuries, a few small bruises were nothing. In the dim light, Yinshen's originally beautiful and slightly glamorous face looked thinner and more glamorous. It was still bright and glamorous. Compared with the first time he saw it in Huguang, it was more pity and affectionate. favorite. What he knew was that the Yin God didn't suffer much. The lackeys of the Salt Administration did not seem to abuse them, and Jue Jian did not destroy them. Juejian likes Lin Xiaoxia. Lin Xiaoxia and Naifu Chaotic Weilong, and Juejian were responsible for preventing the lackeys of the post station from approaching when they robbed the ship. Their performance was remarkable, and they almost killed Juejian in the end. Yinshen was on one of the three tribute ships at that time, so Juejian may have been a very reasonable person and did not anger Yinshen, so he did not use violent means to extract a confession. As soon as the faint point was released, Yinshen woke up leisurely, saw the lantern clearly, and sat up hurriedly in surprise. Zhao Xin was opening a deck and taking out a small package. Huh!You followed the sound sullenly and turned your head to see him. It was difficult to distinguish his face in a hurry, and you were about to jump up, but your head hit the roof. I have prepared a village girl's cloth dress for you.He put the small package beside Yinshen, moved it over and sat opposite him: I have been looking for you, you fell into the hands of those people, and I finally rescued you.Aunt Ling, is your body injured?Try luck!Everything has me. How are you going to treat me?Yinshen saw clearly that it was him, and moved back in horror. When Lin Xiaoxia saw him, her first reaction was to run for her life. It has nothing to do with you to kill me, and I don't blame you.His smile made Yinshen feel at ease: I only ask the leader of Hangzhou.Perhaps Clan Master Chen also participated in the conspiracy, we will talk about it when we meet in the future.The killing of one's companions after success has happened repeatedly throughout the ages. It is very common, but I am not reconciled.I am looking for you, on the one hand, because of an unforgettable love in the past, I am not a man and woman who forgets love.Furthermore, I hope to find your lost tribute boat. From your mouth, you may be able to find some clues to assess whether the leader Hang has supernatural powers or ghosts.According to the signs I have investigated, your loss is not light. It should be impossible for Master Hang and Master Chen to secretly collude with foreign ghosts and harm their disciples.You don’t have many disciples in each sect, and most of them are relatives and friends by blood. It is impossible for them to let foreign ghosts harm them for their own interests.Aunt Ling, I hope you have never been involved in any conspiracy. How could this be a trick to ask clues?He's already taken a stand. This means that he has been blinded by love in his heart, hoping that Yinshen is an outsider and will not be involved in the conspiracy. How is that possible?Of course Yinshen denied it, and the terrified expression disappeared: I dare to guarantee with my life that no one from Yuehuamen will participate in the conspiracy of inner supernatural powers and outer ghosts.Master Chen and I have the same love as sisters, she can't hide my unrighteous deeds from me.As for whether the leader of Hangjiao is involved, I can't guarantee it.But logically, he should be innocent.During this period, he almost turned gray in a hurry. He searched almost every corner of the waterway north of Yangzhou, hoping to find out where the tribute boat was hiding. What was the truth about what happened that night? The incident happened hastily and was caught off guard. In fact, no one knew what happened at that time, let alone where the world was after falling into the water.To be sure, those who played the water monster.They are definitely not water thieves. Water thieves are usually topless or even naked when committing crimes.所以我們懷疑是某一處欽差府的走狗，暗中跟在貢船後面候機下手。甚至我們懷疑湖廣欽差府的走狗，陰謀監守自盜串演強盜搶官兵。 這當然有此可能 雷塘史百萬與杭教主有交情，杭教主安排我們至史家偵查那一帶的水道。第二天，便在下雷塘水道一處河灣，撈獲幾塊艙板，很像是貢船的後艙面；如果是，就表示貢船已在那一帶拆毀滅跡了。次日一早，我們還沒派人通知在灣頭以東的杭教主，揚州鹽務署的走狗，便突然掩至。迄今為止，我還不知道是史百萬出賣我們呢，抑或是史百萬家中有欽差府的奸細潛伏。他們脅逼我合作把杭教主誘出來。 船板的事，你曾否告訴絕劍？ 我能隱瞞嗎？其他的人也會招的，他們的遭遇比我更慘，共逼死了三個人。 oh!你能聯絡得上杭教主嗎？他不再追問貢船的線索，問也問不出什麼來：今晚一教一門的人都來了，似乎他們並沒打算救你，而是逼絕劍了斷，認為絕劍暗中勾結某些人轉手奪走了貢船。 陳門主也來了？ That's right.要不是有不速之客及時趕來，放火包圍羅宅，雙方很可能兩敗俱傷，玉石俱焚，雙方都用暗器打頭陣，一定會有可怕的傷亡。 恐怕無法聯絡上他們了。陰神大感失望：如果他們目的不在營救我，那就表示他們不理會我的死活了，所定的聯絡聚會處一定全部取消，我 不要灰心，我們留心尋找好不好？貢船很可能藏在揚州以北，即使拆毀了，金銀財寶數量龐大，近期不可能出動大量人手或船隻運走，必須等風聲過後，再悄悄零星運出分散遠離疆界。杭教主肯定會重返灣頭一帶偵查，我會找到他的。 你應該查貢船的下落呀！反而找杭教主豈不是倒因為果？難道你不重視這筆財寶，反而忘不了被滅口的仇恨？杭教主日後你仍可找到他的，不是嗎？ 揚州經馮家才能找得到貢船，正好一舉兩得。貢船如果當晚駛抵揚州，早就順水順潮駛入大江了，在揚州以南尋找，根本就是白費工夫。這兩天人都湧至揚州以南，天知道其中有何陰謀，到底是哪些人策動的？策動的人一定是貢船的得主，有意將人引至揚州以南，藏匿的貢船便可安全無恙了。好好歇息，明早咱們船駛灣頭再作打算。你好好梳洗，我到芳村看看有何變化。 順便帶些食物好嗎？我餓了。陰神俏巧地輕挽著輕柔的秀髮，嫣然一笑媚態橫生。 他一怔，臉一紅急急出艙。
