Chapter 352: A good companion on the Yellow Spring Road
When we found the Great Ming Naval Division's warship, the other party also discovered us. These dozen or so warships fan-shaped surrounded us in the middle, and the two immortals were about to step forward desperately, but they were stopped by Xu Ruonan, and said, the other party's intention is unknown, so wait and see what happens.
In a short time, three ships came towards us, and hundreds of arrows were aimed at us, and more than a dozen of them were carrying torches. This rocket, the body of which is coated with tung oil, is specially used in naval warfare, and once it is fired, I am afraid that it will not be long before our ship is in ruins.
Someone on the other side shouted, we are the Ming sailors, we are ordered to arrest the remnants of the Japanese invaders, the boat in front is listening, disarmed, and the ship is stopped for inspection!
Xu Ruonan instructed his subordinates to put away their blades, and not long after, a small boat was lowered from the warship and approached us. The leader was dressed in a red official robe, with a white face and beard, and looked like he should be the factory supervisor of the inner court. When the Daming Naval Division went to sea to fight, it was usually accompanied by a eunuch from the inner court as an overseer.
The red-robed eunuch led people on the boat, and a captain said, "The name of the person who came!"
I stepped forward and handed it over, all the officials had worked hard, in Xia Changqiong, and a few friends were preparing to go out to sea to fish, but I didn't expect to alarm a few officials, it was really a sin. As I spoke, I handed over the road guide, and when Zhang Youqian and I were in the Nanjiang Lake Division, we prepared a lot of road guides for the convenience of movement, and I didn't expect it to come in handy here.
The captain said, how do I know if your guide is real or fake?
I can't hide it, we are people in the rivers and lakes, not long ago I was named the four princes of the new martial arts by Xiaosheng Bagua, you see this is my certificate, and the journal reported by "Xiaosheng Bagua", this should not be fake, right?
The lieutenant glanced at it and said that the journal was broken, in Jiangnan, we only recognized "Xiaosheng Jianghu" and "Gossip Weekly". In my opinion, you are the widows!
The second elder said, "We are widows, what evidence do you have? Have you ever seen such a standard puppet in the Central Plains?
The lieutenant said that the whole world is learning the Chinese dialect, so what is so strange about this? Moreover, a large part of the Japanese are a group of scum of the Ming Dynasty. I think the two of them look so sneaky, they must be wokes.
The second elder Xiaoyao is the most taboo for others to talk about their appearance, as soon as the captain finished speaking, the second elder Xiaoyao was about to go crazy, but he was persuaded by Xu Ruonan, and the two elders were a little calm.
The captain asked, "Where are you going fishing?"
Zhang Youqian said, a few of us are ready to go to sea, go to fishing 'fish island', as the saying goes, fishing to the island to fish, not to the island can not be fished.
The red-robed eunuch took out a pursuit document from his arms, and from a distance, he vaguely painted a portrait of me and Zhang Youqian. I don't think it's good, if they are called, our operation will be in danger. The other side has more than a dozen ships and nearly a thousand people, and if they really make a move, not to mention the victory or defeat, death and injury are inevitable, and this is exactly what I don't want to see.
After all, we are Daming people, if we really kill the officers and soldiers of the Daming Water Division, even if we are not Japanese coles, this crime will not be cleared up by jumping into the Yellow River.
The red-robed eunuch suddenly screamed, Catch them, these two people are the Japanese who are being hunted down by the imperial court!
Xu Ruonan's brows furrowed slightly, and the floating golden needles dozens of zhang away around her body were aimed at the dozen or so people on the boat, as long as she moved with killing thoughts and ignored the rest of the warships, these dozen people would definitely not survive. Instead, she looked at me and asked for my opinion.
Because before, she promised me that she wouldn't kill indiscriminately.
Do you want to do it?
At this moment, another ship approached, and two generals jumped on board, these two people were not bystanders, it was Zhang Yuanjing and Zhao Zili. In the battle of Chongming Island that day, we fought side by side to kill Kou, and it was already a year since we parted.
When the two of them saw me, they were pleasantly surprised, it turned out to be Brother Su!
The red-robed eunuch asked sharply, Zhang Yuanjing and Zhao Zili, do you two know them?
Zhao Zili said coldly, I don't know, I only know that this Su Daxia was a brother who fought side by side with us during the battle of Chongming Island.
The red-robed eunuch said, These two people are the key criminals that Lord Li personally confessed to arrest, and the two of you want to shield them? According to military regulations, you have a private relationship with the Japanese Kou, but you are charged with killing your head.
Zhang Yuanjing is older and has a more stable personality, but Zhao Zili is short-tempered, so he is not so easy to speak, he said angrily, our heads are here, Zhao Taiping, you have the ability, come and take it away.
Zhao Gonggong was so angry that he pointed at the two of them and said: No wonder you two don't work hard, it turns out that you are colluding with the Japanese Kou. Believe it or not, I'll hand it over to the Governor's Mansion of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then the two of you won't be able to eat and walk around.
Zhao Zili said, I believe it, but do you believe that I threw you into the sea to feed Wang Ba?
When!
Zhao Zili pulled out the long sword and put it against Zhao Gonggong's neck, Zhao Gonggong immediately panicked, what are you trying to do? Are you going to rebel?
Zhao Zili scolded, you eunuch with no eggs, you don't understand bullshit, you are pointing fingers at the sailor all day long, Lao Tzu has long annoyed you. As he spoke, he stepped forward and kicked Zhao Taiping into the water. Zhao Taiping shouted for help, and Zhang Yuanjing and Zhao Zili rebelled! As he spoke, he swam towards another boat dozens of feet away.
The previous lieutenant panicked, and hurriedly looked for an oar to save him, but saw a whoosh, Zhao Zili took a bow, pulled it into a full moon, and shot an arrow with a whoosh, but saw Zhao Taiping flickering left and right, like a water snake in the water, Zhao Zili misjudged and the arrow fell into the water.
Zhao Zili shouted, Gonggong Zhao, I didn't expect you to be quite skinny.
With that, he reached out and took out four arrows from the quiver, and at the same time took his bow, saying, There is always an arrow suitable for you.
Whoosh!
Zhao Taiping screamed, was hit by an arrow in his back, exhaled pain in his mouth, choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater, retched, and after some struggle, sank to the bottom of the sea. It didn't take long for the body to float and float above the water. The blood on his corpse spread out, and within a while, a group of piranhas came over and gnawed Zhao Taiping's corpse.
I gasped in my heart, just now I was thinking about if I really started to see if there was a chance to take the opportunity to escape, but after seeing Zhao Taiping's fate, this idea was crossed out of my mind.
Zhang Yuanjing said, Zili, why are you so impulsive? If you land on the shore in the future, how will you explain to the imperial court?
The captain who had been with Zhao Taiping before was also so frightened that his face was bloodless, this was the Daming Naval Division overseer sent by the imperial court, how could he say that he would kill him? However, the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division were indifferent and stood on the boat like pacesetters.
Zhao Zili asked the captain, how did Zhao Taiping's father-in-law die?
The lieutenant only said that you killed him.
Zhao Zili was murderous and showed his face.
The lieutenant said that Zhao Gonggong was drinking and having fun on the boat, and after getting drunk, he fished, fell into a shark, and drowned in the sea.
Zhao Zili said, Captain Gao, on weekdays, you took refuge in Zhao Taiping and bullied the brothers of the water master, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, anyway, killing one is also killing, killing two is also killing, Zhao Gonggong loves you so much, why don't you also accompany Zhao Gonggong to take a walk on the Nai He Bridge?
The high lieutenant fluttered and knelt on the ground, and said, General Zhao, your subordinates know that they are wrong.
Zhao Zili asked, what is wrong with you?
The lieutenant shuddered and was speechless. Zhao Zili asked the rest of the people, do you want to die or live?
Everyone said, "I'm going to die!"
One person shouted, surnamed Gao, deducted me for half a year, and we had already seen him unpleasantly.
There is also a human, this surnamed Gao, who lent me money to go out to visit the kiln, I asked him several times, but he refused. I don't have a problem with killing him.
Zhao Zili said with a smile, you see, everyone is not used to you, even if I don't want to kill you, but in this way, the army's morale will be unstable.
Seeing that it was useless to plead, the senior lieutenant slowly stood up and said, Zhao Zili, don't deceive people too much, although I am half a level lower than you, but I am also a person of the Great Ming Water Master, you are here to refer to the deer as a horse, framing Zhongliang, and the heavenly reason is intolerable. Besides, even if I have a problem, it will be the governor's yamen who will interrogate me, and it will not be your turn to interrogate me!
Zhao Zili said, having said that, but there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, why do you say that it is so coincidental, you also caught a shark.
The high lieutenant suddenly burst out and slashed at Zhao Zili with his knife. Zhao Zili dodged and slashed on the left arm of the high school lieutenant, and blood flowed. Immediately, a roundabout kick kicked the high lieutenant into the water, but after a while, he went to accompany Zhao Gonggong.
Zhang Yuan sighed, Zili was a little reckless in doing things.
Zhao Zili said, one person does things and one person is responsible, don't worry, I won't affect you.
Zhang Yuanjing said What are you talking about, we have a lifelong friendship with Brother Su, these two people do a lot of evil on weekdays, even if there is no such thing, I want to clean them up.
I arched my hand and caused trouble for the two eldest brothers.
Zhao Zili stepped forward and gave me a bear hug and said, I haven't seen you for more than a year, don't say something unlucky, I still owe you a drink. Since you have come, you will not be drunk today. However, when we are on a mission in the army, we don't have much food and drink.
When the two immortals heard this, they clapped their hands and laughed, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's okay to have wine, it's good to have wine.
We followed Zhang and Zhao onto the main ship, and someone had already arranged a banquet. When chatting, we learned that after we escaped from Jinling, the imperial court issued a wanted warrant, and sent three waves of people to arrest us, the first wave was the martial arts people led by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, the second wave was the Jinling garrison, and the third group was the Daming Water Division, which happened to be patrolling nearby Zhang and Zhao, so they also accepted the task.
Unexpectedly, by mistake, it actually ran into us.
When he learned that we were going to Moming Lake, Zhao Zili offered to escort us.
There is a Daming sailor escort, and it is estimated that no one dares to stop it. Zhang and Zhao are northerners, with good personalities and a large amount of alcohol. At night, when the wind was strong, and the ship was blown to the side, I could not resist it, so I went back to my room to rest.
Passing by Xu Ruonan's room, I saw that the lights were still on in her room, so I pushed the door in, relying on the strength of the wine, I shouted, lady, I'm here.
