Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One

Lunch was settled in the town, and there were no people with swords and swords walking around in the town. The storm here has passed, and there are still security guards walking around the Hecang, but they are not here to arrest criminals, but to supervise The civilian husband moved the grain bag back to the granary. News and rumors are still flying all over the sky, and the news of the unearthed belongings of the tribute ship is the most popular. The news that people from all parties in the waterside pavilion of the Feng Family Courtyard divided up the treasure spread to the rivers and lakes at an extremely fast speed.

Those dragon snakes who snatched the silver ingots even boasted proudly, showing how heroic they are, and they were able to snatch the treasure in the decisive battle of the heroes. As for whether the treasure is a tribute on the tribute ship, no one wants to waste time investigating. When Zhao Xin was having dinner, he decided to inquire about the news separately. He was very determined. The way he got the news was different from Yinghua's. Zhao Yinghua doesn't have a wide network of connections, and she relies entirely on her father's people to support her, so she also wants to get together with her father, and no longer opposes splitting up to find clues.

I'll look for the snake rat here first, and then go to Fucheng. During this period, Zhao Xin showed a lazy expression from time to time, which was completely different from the previous enthusiasm: the problem is probably still with those people who kill Yan Luo, only they have the ability to transfer the tribute boat and find clues in Fucheng, there should be some clues . Huh!Aren't you sure that the lackeys of the Yangzhou imperial envoy's office are not suspected?Yinghua is careful and confused: You said that the main purpose is to find the leader of Hang, but you can find the whereabouts of the leader from Juejian, and change the target to find the deadly Yan Luo. Is it useful?

Absolute Sword's goal is to find treasure, and the talented people are the most active. They have provoked bloody fights several times, and they are determined to win.If you want to kill Yan Luo, and you have indeed hidden the treasure of the tribute ship.Will you let Juejian go and let Juejian continue digging for clues to get to the bottom of it?Therefore, the whereabouts of Juejian and Hangjiao can be found out from the lackeys of the imperial envoy. Zhao Xin's analysis is actually an old problem that lacks content: I may have left a secret mark on the beam of the Sibai Pavilion in the Confucian Temple in Fucheng.Zhao Xin summoned the shop assistants to check out, hurried out of the shop, waved at the door, and even omitted the words of goodbye, and strode towards the Caohe Wharf, disappearing in the crowd of people on the street.

Zhao Yinghua only raised his hand half way to wave goodbye, and Zhao Xin walked away without looking back.She frowned, shook her head and stood at the door for a moment, then let out a long breath and left listlessly. She already sensed that something was wrong.Zhao Xin's attitude is quite suspicious. He is quite different from the boldness when he is commensurate with brothers and sisters, and the intimacy and enthusiasm of talking and laughing. She was puzzled, and when she left, she also looked sullen and preoccupied, lost her lightness on her feet, and couldn't concentrate. She was walking on another street, and she was still unaware of someone approaching behind her.

Girl, what's the matter with you?Zhao Changjiang's voice, which she called her uncle, came from behind: You are a bit out of your wits, quite dangerous! oh!Nothing!For some things to wonder, just momentarily absent minded.She was a little terrified, it was dangerous to let the enemy take advantage of her absence: Uncle, what's the situation here?We ran into a large group of lackeys from the Zhenjiang Gaoqin Envoy's Mansion, who were invited by the green-faced demon Let's talk after seeing your father.Zhao Changjiang interrupted her: Everyone has gone south, it seems that it is a foregone conclusion that they will all be scattered.Where is the boy?

to inquire about news.She followed behind Zhao Changjiang, her eyebrows furrowed deeply: He has his way, and it would be a hindrance for me to follow. He alone has limited power, let's see how big a storm he can create.We cannot provide false information, so as not to arouse his suspicion.Some situations are beyond our control, and accidents will mess up the overall situation.For example, who would have expected that a treasure would actually be found in the garden of the Feng family compound?As a result, there was a big riot, and the ghosts and monsters scattered. Our clever plan of fooling and misleading failed, and we had to find another way to try to drag them here.

The two chatted and entered an alley. It would not be a problem to find local snakes and rats, but the situation is tense recently, and some well-known people ask around and hide to avoid harming the fish in the pond, so it is not easy to find them. It is impossible for the unobtrusive snakes and mice to run away, they are going to dawdle!It is easy to find small snake mice, and then find medium and large snake mice. After spending ten taels of silver, a little snake mouse took him to find the big snake mouse. He walked into the hall of a house in the south of the street, and he saw that among the five people drinking tea in the hall, Naojiang Yacha Huang Heqing was among them.

Huh!Li Xiong.When Naojiang Yasha saw him, he seemed to have seen a ghost, and jumped up in shock: You come here It's wonderful that you are here. Zhao Xin was also overjoyed: You hid in Yangzhou, but you are still in the middle of the game, and you can't jump out of right and wrong.I'm not here to find you, but I need your help.hehe!Let's have a good talk, talk about the news of the dragons and snakes of all parties, I will not treat you badly, I understand the rules of the world. Can I say no?Naojiang Yacha had a bitter face like a debtor who was caught evading his debt.

An old saying: no. Forget it, I admit it! Thanks.oh!Which one is the master, Brother Hu, the Five-way God of Wealth? I am.The big man with leopard head and eyes around him stood up reluctantly to answer. Nice to meet you.Zhao Xin clasped his fists and saluted, and sat down with a stool. The rules of the rivers and lakes are not a universally recognized golden rule, and each region is different. Although the same is said to be the same, the words for these small differences change a lot, and it is difficult to get a consensus on the recognition. If you want to get something, you must pay something; spending money to buy news is justified.

However, it is more common to use force to obtain it, and it is also in line with the rules of the world. The big tyrants are the best at this. The people here know well, and they understand the rules of the world, which means that the use of force is taken into account, which is a common method used by Qianglong. If you don't cooperate, the consequences will be dire. The strong have different standards for the rules. Naojiang Yacha is one of the four overlords in Gaoyou, the uncle of the uncles. Leaving Gaoyou, he became an old wolf expelled from his territory. Although the image of a wolf is still there, his prestige is lost. In front of Zhao Xin, he couldn't even maintain the image of an old wolf. He stayed in Sanchahe Town to watch the demons dance. He watched the situation with a cold eye and had a deep understanding of the situation. He had close contacts with some snakes and rats, so of course he knew the movements of the local snakes and rats. His ambition is still there, unwilling to be lonely, he is willing to be Zhao Xin's guide. The two left Zhennan and set foot on the small official road going south. From time to time, you can see moored boats on both sides of the Cao River, and occasionally you can see fast-moving river cruisers on the river. At that time, the Guazhou Middle River (the Cao River flowing into Guazhou is divided into three, the left and right two are called Donggang and Xigang) had not yet been built to control the water level, and the tide could go directly to the city of Yangzhou. Therefore, when the tide ebbed, some boats lay on the river bank.Later, the gate was built, and the tide no longer affected the Caohe River. Two medium-sized ships rest on the river bank.Someone on the boat was arranging the gear, and did not pay attention to the passengers coming and going on the official road not far away. Those two ships look familiar to me.Zhao Xin stared at the two ships and said. You should look familiar!Naojiang Yacha lowered his sun hat, not wanting to be seen by the people on board: You check the hijacked boat in Gaoyou, and they are also anchored in Gaoyou. oh!them At that time they shared a boat.Don't provoke them, it's the boat of Shui Ding of Yangzhou Salt Administration.The Han Shuiding I dealt with is very good. Nao Jiang Yecha will deal with Han Shuiding alone, and he will talk about it in detail. Finally, he said: Fortunately, they are different from other Shuiding, and other Shuidings are like wolves. Sihu is really inhuman. The Han Shui Ding you mentioned, the servant next to him It's female.Naojiang Yasha said with certainty. I remember, when I gambled heavily at Caixing Gambling Square, the Han Shuiding you mentioned followed me for a long time.Later, I also saw them on the embankment of Old Guanzui Lake.Are they really taxpayers? That's what they said! Damn it! Zhao Xin uttered three-character scriptures to curse people, but he sighed. The memory is more vivid. During the activities of pretending to be Li Xiong in Gaoyou, he discovered Zhao Yinghua's true face again and again, but he didn't pay attention to it. How could he think that it was the girl who stubbornly refused to give her name rescued by him in the hands of the leader of Hangjiao? It wasn't until the second time that Zhao Yinghua, father and daughter were rescued in the hands of Jianglong Daoist Five Yaodao, that he remembered that it was the girl he rescued from Huahua Taisui. Han Tax Ding!His creepy feeling returned. Nao Haishen Jiao and Jiang You Yulang are both surnamed Han.Yinghua's father's surname is Zhao, Zhao Da. Ever since he set foot in Gaoyou, Zhao Yinghua's group of people have been haunting around him, and even stared at him openly. That is to say, from the beginning to the end, he has been completely in the hands of the other party. It is not uncommon for a son of a chivalrous martial arts family to work for the imperial envoy and tax supervisor who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Changing his name and surname to disguise his appearance can hide his identity and avoid the ridicule and contempt of heroes all over the world. If a person thinks wrong about something and has a prejudice, he will only think of the bad side, discard the good symptoms, and even force himself to deny all the advantages of the other party, insisting that the advantages are disadvantages, thinking that everything is a conspiracy , refused to analyze all abnormal phenomena with calm eyes, and got into the dead end. When he was in Gaoyou, Zhao Yinghua's people were hostile to him. It wasn't until Jianglong Zhenren and Wu Yaodao rescued them that the situation changed. No wonder their target is also paying tribute to the ship, using him to achieve their goals. Huh!What happened to you?Naojiang Yecha was quite surprised to hear him scolding people. I'm not scolding you!The only suspicious thing is that they seem to have clashed with the people from the Yangzhou Imperial Envoy.He was referring to the fact that Zhao Yinghua was captured at the Shangleitang historian: but the conflict was not serious. It's not serious, because Zhao Yinghua's father rescued him safely. During this period, he occasionally clashed with lackeys, and even beat Yan Luo to death. Zhao Yinghua did not stop him from punishing the lackeys of the Yangzhou imperial envoy, and showed an attitude of fighting against the enemy.But he didn't think about it, so he deliberately ignored these symptoms. I didn't pay attention to their affairs, I couldn't afford to provoke the lackeys of the imperial envoy. Yanjiang Yasha showed a look of fear: Your partner Juejian is doing a great job, he left you to retrieve the ship, and instead pursued the tribute ship that everyone is paying attention to.Are you planning to go back to Kyoto? I'm planning to go to him and persuade him to return to Kyoto!He knew that Naojiang Fangcha's knowledge was limited, and he hadn't explored the secrets in depth, so he didn't bother to say: You know his whereabouts, so please take me to find him.Did the lackeys of the imperial envoy follow him? It seems that two or three lackeys of the imperial envoy's mansion have all gone to chase the imperial convicts of one sect and one sect who fled south.He ordered Yan Luo's running dogs to send people to seal the river. It was too risky to escape by boat, and they were all caught, so they ran south by land.Of course the chasers couldn't chase by boat, so they all flocked to this road. Strange thing, people of one religion and one sect should go to Guazhou from Xiacao River, but why do they go to Yizhen from Shangcao River?If it weren't for you, I would have chased after Guazhou. I really have to thank you and owe you a favor. The Caohe River was not called the Grand Canal at that time, and the Grand Canal was not a single river, but a series of natural rivers and man-made waterways, which were connected in series to facilitate the transportation of grain from south to north, so it was called Caohe. Cao refers to waterway transportation; Caoliang refers specifically to rice beans. From below Yangzhou to Sancha River, the river divides into Shangcao River, Tongyizhen and Shangjing, and Xiacao River passes through Guazhou to Zhenjiang, running through Suzhou and Hangzhou.Guazhou is divided into three waterways into the river, and the continent forms the word melon, so it is called Guazhou. Your brother is showing mercy to Gao You, so we're even!Let's say it first, I hope you will keep your promise, and when I see those people, I will walk away and go to Nanjing happily.I can't afford to mess with these bastards; people with roots can't afford to mess with these bastards. Haha, if you want to make a fortune by my side, I won't want you to get in the way!It's getting late, let's hurry up two steps. It's time to apply for a license, it's really late. Sancha River is more than fifty miles away from Yizhen, and it may be midnight when we arrive at Yizhen!But if they speed up their feet, they will definitely arrive at the time to defend the card. At this time, when you go to Yizhen Shirentou Town, you can hire a boat in the town.That area is an important tax station in the tax area of ​​the high imperial envoy, and it is quite safe not to sell the accounts of Yangzhou and the imperial envoy. The elite lackeys of Imperial Envoy Gao have already come from Zhenjiang to assist the lackeys of Imperial Envoy Chen in Huguang. It is not safe for me.Well!The first few bastards are from the Salt Administration, we have to wait for the opportunity to overtake the front. Five big men pretending to be tourists were striding south, with swords in their belts, ready to draw their swords and fight at any time. There is a small resting village ahead, I will take you around it. Well, it's wonderful to have you, an old horse who knows the way, lead the way.Go to Stonehead Town and hire a boat!It's my business from now on. The two of them slowed down so as not to overtake. Shirentou Town is about forty miles away from Yizhen County. It is one of the four major towns in Yizhen. Less than three miles to the northeast is the county boundary of Jiangdu County, Yangzhou Prefecture. The town itself is not big, with a few streets and dozens of alleys.However, the outskirts of the town are large, with farmhouses and villages dotted all over, and commerce and agriculture are on equal footing. Due to the harsh land tax, the number of farmers who have lost their homes in recent years has increased year by year. There are almost six or seven vacant rooms in the countryside. The government sent slave labor to cultivate, and the harvest was limited. In the nearby villages, there were more farm houses confiscated and sealed than residential houses. The people who stayed were lingering and suffering in poverty. It is easy to hide or find temporary accommodation in this area. No one cares about it. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and don't care about the frost on the roof of others. No one pays attention to the movement of the neighbors. Only some big traffic officials, as well as the new upstarts who have been promoted by snakes and rats, still own some considerable industries, and even become emerging tycoons. The village mansions where outsiders are strictly prohibited from approaching, the surrounding area is designated as a restricted area. Hangjiao had to admit that he had failed completely, and reluctantly withdrew from Yangzhou. There were not many people left in Yuehuamen, so they had to go together. If they fled separately, they would be captured one by one and wiped out by the whole army. The dead and wounded people stayed in the vicinity of Yangzhou to lurk or bury them, resigned to their fate to gamble on their luck, whether they could escape the bad luck of being hunted down in the future depends on whether God is willing to be merciful, and also depends on whether there is a magical power hidden in the nine places. The total number of people is less than twenty, which is not far from the hopeless situation of annihilation of the entire army. They didn't dare to take a boat, so they first broke up and headed south, planning to gather at Shirentou Town first, and then managed to get a boat in a remote place, sailed out of the river to the other side of the river, abandoned the boat and went to Nanjing to avoid the limelight . Master Hang has been active in Yangzhou for a period of time. He once worked as a ancestral mage in the Fugu Feng family for two years. He has many friends in Yangzhou and is quite familiar with the vicinity of Yangzhou. Therefore, during this period, unless he goes out and walks , No one can find out the correct hiding place, it is difficult to grasp his whereabouts, he is still very active. The reason for the repeated failures and loss of soldiers and generals is mainly due to lack of strength, not because someone has seized the opportunity to act and has not completely lost the initiative. In terms of personal martial arts, there are not many people who can compare with him, but the number of people is relatively large, and he has to face too many powerful enemies. Overthinking his capabilities was the main reason for his failure. He finally understood that the key to failure was that he couldn't wait to kill Zhao Xin and Juejian before he successfully hijacked the ship, and it was too late for him to regret. Now, Zhao Xin and Jue Jian have become his most terrifying enemies. Jue Jian is his deadly magic star, a nightmare he cannot escape. The meeting place is three or four miles east of the town, in a Sanjia village with half-dilapidated houses. The surrounding area is full of barren fields. palapa. The nearest small village is also two miles away, but there are trees blocking the line of sight, so you can't see the scenery inside and outside. Hiding here for a temporary gathering is quite safe and secret. Food can be collected in the town, and if you find a boat, you can follow the current and go straight to the Dajiang River. Sixteen people have already arrived, and only four people are left behind. It’s already the time of Youpai, the sky is full of stars, the autumn wind blows and the chill hits people, the grass tip has begun to frost, the sound of autumn insects in the four fields cannot be heard, and the sporadic barking of dogs in the distance breaks the silence of the night. Two houses were cleared out to accommodate the weary. Those who arrived earlier had already bought a large amount of food from the town, and at the same time they planned to send people to the lower reaches of the town to look for boats. They must use all means to obtain one or two small boats with half cabins, and they can no longer disperse and fly away by land. It is estimated that no one will follow. The lackeys and ghosts and monsters must think that they are still looking for the huge treasure of the tribute ship.Or, think they are still waiting for the opportunity to transport the treasure. Indeed, some people believe that one sect and one sect captured the tribute boat and hid it in a small river swamp that no one knew about. Anyway, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, some people believe and some people have doubts, so far there is still no clue about the treasure of the tribute ship, and all kinds of rumors are being pursued. On the fourth watch, the last four people still did not come. The people who were sent to look for boats on the south bank of Zhennan came back angrily. The security personnel dispatched Ding Yong, and the wharf was tightly sealed off. Passenger and cargo ships leaving the port were thoroughly inspected in advance, and everyone was severely interrogated. , People without identity guides will be detained first. Ding Yong patrolled along the river, up and down as far as ten miles away. Ships moored along both sides of the river were ordered to move their sails, oars, oars, and poles ashore for centralized storage. In name, the river has never been closed, but in fact it is tantamount to martial law. The news of the capture of the imperial convicts was known throughout the town.The wharf even reposted the arrest list, replacing the old one that had changed color. The hope of finding a boat failed, so he had to rely on his two legs to break into pieces and embark on the dangerous road of absconding. Set off at the beginning of the fifth watch, let's go together. The anxious Master Hang decided to run away as soon as possible: he had to run to the river at a fast pace, and take a short detour, because at dawn, we would not be able to leave. At dawn, there are pedestrians on the road, but of course they can't walk.As soon as the news came out, he couldn't run in broad daylight. Master, there are still four people who are not here.Lin Xiaoxia was bleary-eyed and looked tired, but she still kept her spirits up and reminded the chaotic leader to pay attention to the fact that someone hadn't come to meet up yet. They were afraid that there might be an accident on the way, and they would be too late to arrive.Leader Hang wanted to say that the four of them might be in danger, but at last he couldn't say: If you wait any longer, you won't be able to leave tomorrow. . I will wait for them here with two people.The listless Yinshen said: Two of the four people are my close disciples.You go first, if they haven't come at dawn, I still have to wait. Aunt Ling, you go.Master Chen firmly said: I will wait.I am no stranger to this area. After dawn, go east and go farther, so that no one will chase east.let's go!See you in Nanjing. A long howl came from the south, and the sound shook the roof tiles. The source of the sound seemed to be close in. A dozen tiles fell from the broken eaves and fell to the ground to be torn apart. I'm afraid no one will be able to leave!Deputy leader Nanren Tu Cang smiled: That bastard Juejian must have come after him and blocked our retreat, he already knew we were hiding here. I went to talk to him.The head of the Baiou Hall raised his arms: This bastard is a great disaster, if he doesn't die, our disasters will never stop. He won’t see you unless leader hang goes to him in person. Feihong Li Ruhua, the hall master outside the Yuehua Gate, smiled wryly: He must have set up an ambush to blockade anyone who broke in with a hidden weapon.That dog is ruthless, unless he can get the treasure of the tribute ship, he will never let any of us go, even if he gets the treasure, he will kill us all. The long whistle sounded again, this time coming from the east. He really puts a blockade.Master Hang gasped: It means that he has more people than me.It's almost dawn, and the sentries don't have much time. We must concentrate on one place and rush out quickly. There is no other way. Get ready!Once started, be sure to go as fast as you can, and you can't turn back.Ladies and gentlemen, the sky is dark and it is very difficult to support each other. We can only ask for blessings. Without serious preparation, their bags have long been lost, and there are not many items they carry with them.It is enough to assign manpower to support in groups. While arranging the order of the breakout, there was a scream, and everyone jumped up in shock, rushing out of the house. There was originally a guard outside, but it was not in the guard position. The screams just now must be the screams of the vigilant people dying. On the left side of the house leading to Shirentou Town, about 20 steps away, there stood a blurry black figure, the sword in his hand reflected the starlight and kept flickering. Master Hang, hand over the tribute boat in exchange for your life.Sure enough, it was Absolute Sword Xu Feiyang, the lightning-chasing sword reflected starlight, and it seemed that he could still feel the piercing sword aura from more than twenty steps away. I talk to him.Lin Xiaoxia hid herself under the apricot tree in front of the house, she stood up and wanted to go out. can not go. The Yin God whispered: There are people lurking on both sides of the road, so he lures us out from a distance. But Still trying to trick him with a bogus cache of treasure?Yin Shen let out a long sigh: If it were you, would you still be fooled?This person is vicious and violent, he was fooled once, and has already hated us to the bone, so he will listen to your empty talk again?Free it!You can't get close. Master Hang, what do you say?Come out!I'll wait for you to say.Absolute Sword on the opposite side urged impatiently. You do it!I'll wait for your interview.Hiding in the grass, Master Hang shouted loudly, not daring to face each other face to face. That's fine too.Jue Jian said: Do you have the sincerity to hand over the treasure of the tribute ship?All other accidents are out of the question. Bastard, do you think I have boundless magic power, and I will give you a boatload of treasures in a cosmos bag? Of course you have to take us to pick it up. All right!Let's go back to Yangzhou. It's a deal.Come out one by one, take off your weapons and items, throw them out of the road, and walk toward me with open arms.Master Hang, you are the first, come on!I'm waiting for you. It was just a joke, and it was predictable: go out and catch one by one, there is no room for resistance.Once caught, the only end is to be slaughtered. You bastard is so vicious.Leader Hang yelled: This leader must have a sword in hand, I would rather die than be humiliated.After dawn, the leader of the sect will challenge you one-on-one, do you dare? Ha ha!One-on-one duels have long been out of fashion.In Huguang, did you ever give me the chance to go heads-up?You are just a lowly thief who can only rely on the crowd, you deserve to challenge me to a duel?Go to your mother's dog bastard, hum! Fighting alone, how could Absolute Sword dare to boast?The two sides have fought against each other before, and the leader of Hang also survived one to three. The provocative method failed, Hang leader could bear the abuse, stopped talking back, sent a signal to return to the house, immediately assigned people to form an array, and repeated the old tricks, the situation no longer allowed them to attack and break through. Fifteen men and women, guarding a house is considered insufficient manpower, attacking and breaking out is like a moth to a flame, there is no chance at all. Several people outside took turns to scold, and all the unsavory words came out. It can be seen that Juejian has no intention of attacking in the dark, and both sides are waiting for the moment of dawn to fight for life and death. It was finally dawn, and under the rising sun, there was silver frost all over the place, and the cold air hit people. If there is little wind at night and there are no clouds in the sky, frost will form on the ground, and Bai Jiaojiao will cover the earth with silver makeup.If someone walks around, it's impossible not to leave footprints and boot marks. There are no footprints and boot marks, so it can be seen that no one has approached the house to inquire. It is said that Master Hang has boundless spells, uses poisons superbly, has the ability to set up demon formations, and there are only a handful of people who dare to approach or intrude to harass. Absolute Sword is not a fool, and those friends who invited everyone to make a fortune didn't really want to die, and they didn't want to risk their lives in vain. They came here to get rich, and they have to pay the price with their lives for getting rich. Only a pig's head would do such a stupid thing, so it is impossible for anyone to fight bravely, and the treasure is not known yet!I didn't see it, I didn't touch it. Is it worth it? One sect, one sect, and the running dogs of the imperial envoy's government are all organized groups. Driven by the rules of the organization, they have to obey orders to advance and retreat, and they can't help themselves, so they will fight bravely to be the first. The people of Absolute Sword are not in a hurry to attack, the beast has already been trapped, there is no need to act too hastily, there is plenty of time, at least the beast in the trap must be half-starved to death, and there is still time to strike, the danger will be minimized. Fourteen men and women, chatting and laughing under the big tree 30 meters away from the entrance of the village, having breakfast, eating wine and meat, bought from the town. Seeing the number of Absolute Swords, Master Hang regretted it. Fourteen of them held back the best of their fifteen masters. If they broke through or fought a decisive battle last night, the situation would change completely, and they might even annihilate the fourteen in one fell swoop. A man and a woman whose martial arts are not very superb. How can I be so stupid?In front of the disciples, Master Hang patted his head in pity and blamed himself: he should have slaughtered them all in one go last night.Get ready to go out before it's too late. It's too late, Master Hang. Clan Master Chen who was standing in the corner smiled miserably: The people behind them are coming. The trails inside and outside are covered by vegetation, and the crowd is approaching here in a single file. The speed is neither slow nor fast, and the momentum is strong. There are a lot of people, and it can be vaguely distinguished that they are carrying weapons. Of course, it cannot be the local villagers walking around. . The lackey of the Huguang imperial envoy.Duoming Feihong saw the person at the front clearly, and gasped: How could they also follow?And can find this place correctly. Our four disciples confessed.Master Hang gritted his teeth and said: It seems that we can't pass this test, and neither will I. There is life and death, and there is nothing to be afraid of.Master Chen took off his waist skirt and threw it away. This kind of peasant woman's waist skirt is made of poor material, and it will get in the way when fighting: fight one by one, and I will be responsible for dealing with that soulless girl.Master Hang, you are the chief general, put all your energy into fighting, killing one counts as one, don't be entangled by this witch, she was invited by Juejian to deal with you. Don't worry about it, I'm going to kill her three feet away this time.Master Hang gritted his teeth and said: She is not worthy of acting like a human being in front of me. The field of vision can reach about one mile, and the lackeys of the Huguang Imperial Commissioner's Mansion can already see clearly. The number of people is about twenty, which is not too many.Among them were no lackeys from the Zhenjiang Imperial Commissioner's Office, who might have been scared away by Zhao Xin. The green-faced demon took the lead, approached Juejian's group for about twenty steps, turned sideways, cross-country, moved to the northeast corner of the farmhouse, occupied a lawn, and kept a distance of thirty or forty steps from Juejian's group. At the other end of the path, there was another crowd. Fifteen members of the leader of Hang, each of them had gray faces. At this time, there was no chance to escape. A total of twenty-two men and women came, all dressed in village attire, but with outstanding talents, there was nothing like a villager in their demeanor.The leader is Zhao Da, or Han Shuiding. The Yinghua girl was still wearing the makeup of a village girl, with two pieces of earth-green cloth shirt and trousers, holding a sheathed sword in her hand, with a cold expression on her face. Juejian was quite surprised to know her, and kept searching the faces of the crowd, hoping to find Zhao Xinlai, thinking that Zhao Xin was in disguise among the crowd. Zhao Yinghua has been walking with Zhao Xin, so they should come together. In the past, Juejian never put Zhao Xin seriously. After several conflicts, the situation changed completely. He was deeply wary of Zhao Xin, and even didn't want to meet Zhao Xin; Zhao Xin was not there, and twenty-two men and women occupied the northwest corner, not dealing with outsiders, as if they were here to watch the fun. The green-faced demon also knew Zhao Yinghua and didn't mind. Last time in Huguang, the person who came out to deal with Zhao Xin, Zhao Yinghua, Jue Jian and a group of tourists was the blood demon Long Sihai. In fact, the green-faced demon was also there, but he didn't show up. This is the first time we met. The atmosphere is getting more and more lively, and the time is coming. Another group of people appeared in the distance, and there were quite a few of them. The majestic figure of Yan Luo can be distinguished or even seen clearly from inside and outside. All eyes were on that side.If the landlord brings people here, there will definitely be conflicts. Leader Hang's people are a little more open-minded, and may have a chance to escape by taking advantage of the chaos. Damn Yan Luo is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the casualties are too heavy, and the treasure is still missing, how can he be reconciled?He followed with his confidants and elites, vowing to avenge the dead minions. He even hoped to catch Master Hang to chase out the treasure and swallow it up. From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of hunting down the treasure and returning it to the minions of the Huguang Imperial Commissioner's Mansion. From a hundred paces away, he saw the crowd gathering on this side, their steps slowed down, and he hesitated in his heart.There are too many people, he really feels in a dilemma, if there is a melee like the last two times, God knows how many people will be lost?Lesson learned, he must weigh the pros and cons. I don't know where the treasure is, is it worth it?He has lost more than half of his men in several conflicts and scuffles. The twenty or so elites he led today are his old man. If this bet goes on, the odds of winning are not great; once he loses this bet, his old man will be It's gone!Will his master and imperial envoy be willing to recruit again?Will he be sent to walk? Losing money and losing power is a foregone conclusion, and a strong dragon who loses power is not much better than a dog in the water. He turned his head and looked back, paying attention to the changes in the expressions on the faces of the twenty-one confidant minions, and his thoughts of betting weakened a bit. Most of the minions looked almost indifferent, and only a few of them saw the enemy's anger surging like a mountain. Nine out of ten people who join the imperial envoy's office as lackeys are unworthy dragons and snakes who would not hesitate to be reviled in order to get rich, but those who would not hesitate to lose their lives because of money are rare. Although his confidants can drive them to go through fire and water with orders, few are willing. The will was shaken, and the momentum weakened sharply. He couldn't stop or turn back, he had to go in.As soon as he gritted his teeth, he took a quick step forward, not allowing his enemies to ridicule him, nor letting his cronies despise him and be afraid of him. Behind a big poplar tree on the right side of the road ahead, Zhao Xin, who suddenly stepped out and patted the short gun, with a gloomy face, stopped in the middle of the road and waited for him. Facing the best of the twenty-two masters, with this kind of courage, anyone who thinks he is not afraid of anything will also have a strong wariness against those who dare to block the way. Ghosts worry about Zhao!Damn Yan Luo blurted out in exclamation, and his face also changed. The minions who followed behind each other withdrew their weapons one after another to fight for two sides, each with a different look on their faces, contrary to the usual practice, they no longer rushed up bravely. Brother Luo, don't go there.The short spear in Zhao Xin's right hand was tapped rhythmically with his left palm, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were shining brightly: There are four to five times more people over there than you, and your chance of winning will not exceed 10%.If you want to pass my level, do less calculations, and lose half of it should be the most reasonable estimate. Damn it, you want Yan Luo to rush upwards: My people are all at the top of the rivers and lakes The people in the Imperial Envoy's Mansion in Zhenjiang are even top Jianghu Qianglong, Ghost King, Dongting Shuangjiao. If you have friendship with them, their reputation is no lower than yours.Twenty-two dear brothers and sisters, I will destroy them in a short time.They were ordered to assist the green-faced demon and pose a direct threat to you. They did not value the friendship you have cooperated with for many years, and what they were ordered to do is worthy of forgiveness.I also forgive them, so I just abolish but not kill.This happened yesterday, didn't you ask? Is it you who sent them?To death, Yan Luo's voice changed, and he seemed to feel his heart beating faster and his palms sweating. You should be happy, right? what do you want It's very simple, please go back to Yangzhou and leave a way of life for your friends and companions, and also leave a way for yourself, okay?Master Hang didn't know the whereabouts of the tribute boat at all, and the tribute boat was probably thousands of miles away.Even if the tribute boat is still in Yangzhou, will the people from Huguang Imperial Envoy let you swallow it?The green-faced demon invited people from Zhenjiang Imperial Envoy Gao to assist him, with the intention of asking Imperial Envoy Gao to be a witness.He lost hundreds of friends and companions in vain, and the stolen goods had to be obediently handed over to the green-faced demon for collection.Brother Luo, do you want to go there? This, this, the terrible Yan Luo's throat seemed to be stuck. Imperial envoy Gao from Zhenjiang came forward to testify that the imperial envoy from Yangzhou could not have shielded his lackeys.With the imperial decree, the imperial envoy is likely to lose his head, and he is even more likely to be regarded as the main criminal who swallowed up the imperial tribute. The first person to lose his life must be the death of Yan Luo. It is imperative to sacrifice the lackey, and cooking the lackey is a matter of course. I'm sure it's not the mystery of Master Hang. If he really robbed the tribute ship, he would have gone far away, and he would have to risk the entire army to find it?Now that his people are about to die, what good is it to have those royal tributes buried with him?Don't be stupid, Brother Luo. then why are you I saw it, sometimes there must be a hit, and there is no time to force it; the treasure is thousands of miles away, God knows when it will be found out?By then, the treasures will have already been distributed, how much can I pick up?I only want the order of the leader Hang, and I don't care about the rest. Then don't stop me, I'll kill him for you. Hurrah!please.Zhao Xin moved to the side of the road to make way: They wanted to capture Master Hang alive, but you had to kill him at the risk of more than half the death and injury. I am so happy, thank you in advance! Well, you bastard has a point.Make Yan Luo look like a rooster who has lost the fight: You said, I want to leave a way of life for my brothers, and I also want to leave a way for myself, it really makes sense.I was really stupid to risk more than half of the death and injury, and get nothing for the green-faced monster. If you don't go, you're not stupid. Hello!Brethren, is anyone going?Yan Luo turned his head and shouted happily to his companion for advice. Boss, do you think we are stupid?A big man on the right put away the knife: I am not stupid, so I will not accompany you.In the past two years, I have earned 20,000 to 30,000 silver, so I still have to enjoy it! Stop talking nonsense, let's turn backwards!Another man was even more blatant: someone does the business of beheading, but beheading doesn't make any money, so who will do it? I'm not going there.An old man in sixties stared hard at Zhao Xin who was standing two feet away: But this kid is too crazy, he is so arrogant that it is unbearable. What kind of bullshit ghost sees worry Zhao Hey! Knots suddenly unraveled, gray hair drooped, and broken hair slipped down.The scabbard and treasure bag at his waist fell to his feet at the same time. The piercing howling of the wind continued to hit my ears, and the howling stopped three or four feet behind me. At this moment, a total of three Zhengde Xiqian passed over the head of the sixtieth old man, and under the left and right waist and hips. let's go!Yan Luo yelled, turned his head and left. easy to go.Zhao Xin waved his gun as a signal. The sixtieth old man turned around and staggered away without saying a word, the scabbard and treasure bag were picked up by his companions.
