Under the moonlight, the Tiger Prison Gorge is dark and deep, and the almost straight cliffs on both sides are craggy and rocky, and in the firelight, it looks like a strange beast, shouting to swallow up the nocturnal ships.

In the depths of Hulao Gorge, on the boat behind the bandits, looking at the sky-high fire in front of him, Shen Moci's face was happy.

"Hu Yao, there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to break into."

Obviously, not long ago, she was a famous talented woman in Qingcheng, and when she saw a smooth road ahead, she was about to sing and advance, but she was suddenly dropped from the clouds. Just one accident left her in a bottomless pit, and every time she felt the worst, something worse would always come. Until now, she was covered in bruises, even the proudest appearance was ruined, and there was only the last bit of power left in her hands.

This qiē is due to the little marquis.

Little Hou Ye can't move, so move Hu Yao, who he cares about the most.

"Attack the Hu family's merchant ships with all your might."

"Save your strength and keep it for sniping Dingbeihou."

Two rather majestic orders came out almost at the same time, most of the water bandits did not move, obeying Wu Tongzhi behind, seeing this, the behavior of a small number of people arranged by Shen Moci also hesitated, and no one acted for a while.

"Lord Tongzhi has previously assured that this operation will be in accordance with Ah Ci's wishes."

Wu Tongzhi glanced at Shen Moci contemptuously, if it weren't for the fact that someone who needed her to play the outpost as a cover, he wouldn't have paid attention to a notorious woman.

"This time and that time."

"Don't you have to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Shen Moci's face was dangerous.

"Miss Shen doesn't have to be like this, this official is not frightened. If you can't kill Beihou tonight and completely attribute his death to an accident, the consequences of you and I can be imagined. ”

Wu Youliang never thought of protecting Shen Moci, but at this moment he still had to use her people as a cover, so he added another sentence, which was bound to tie the two of them into the same boat.

"Lord Tongzhi has experienced the Northwest Battlefield, and there is no lack of blood on your hands, and your courage Ah Ci knows it, but your strategy is still a little lacking in comparison. Don't adults know that hitting a snake is seven inches? ”

"Seven inches?"

In his thoughtful gaze, Shen Moci nodded slowly: "The seven inches of Dingbei Hou are none other than Hu Yao." ”

When she said this, her tone was a little sour, although she was harmed like this by the little marquis, but this also confirmed his strength from the other side. In terms of appearance, she was beautiful before her disfigurement, far better than Hu Yao of the small jasper. In terms of talent and learning, she has heard from the nurse how Ayao fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, and at her half-hung level, how can she compare to her erudition that has been praised many times by the teachers of the academy.

With such a good background, A-Yao, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and doesn't care about everything, how can she get the blue eyes of the little marquis.

Anyway, she just can't get used to seeing Ah Yao.

"Tongzhi is also a man, and you should know better than me the circumstances under which a man will take good care of a woman. Dingbei Hou is strong in martial arts, and a small Tiger Prison Gorge may not be able to trap him. By burning the boat a few days ago, he successfully turned from the light to the dark, and now why don't we use Hu Yao to lure the snake out of the hole? ”

Lure Dingbei Hou out of the shadows? There is some truth to that. After a little muttering, Wu Youliang nodded and looked at the subordinates on the left.

"You, you and you, the three of you, lead the troops to follow the people of the Shen family, and besiege the Hu family's fleet. The girl of the Hu family is on the boat in the middle, remember, to be captured alive. ”

"The sword has no eyes, and there will inevitably be confrontations during the dispute, and it will definitely hurt people. As long as you take a breath, it doesn't matter if you hurt anything important, so don't be tied to it. ”

Shen Moci told the Shen family's subordinates, the scar that ran diagonally across her cheek under the torch was particularly hideous, and it was easy to ignore, and the most sluggish subordinate also understood the meaning of her words.

Is this to disfigure the Hu girl?

Pitiful, many people sighed in their hearts. No matter whether they are members of the Shen family after all, they will definitely listen to her orders with the silver taels issued by Shen Moci to feed the family. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they did not show the slightest mercy to the Hu family's fleet.

But the Hu family is not vegetarian, the master is such a girl, not to mention the reputation of the favorite girl, even if they don't have that reputation, they also know how valuable this single seedling in the Hu family's thousands of acres of land is.

They all eat the Hu family's food, and they must desperately protect the Hu family girl. With this thought, when facing the enemy who wanted to climb up with a rope on the surface of the water, they showed no mercy to their subordinates, and directly cut the rope, causing them to fall into the turbulent water of Tiger Prison Gorge one by one like dumplings.

The Hu family's ship was deep, and it was easier to act as a defender than an attacker, not to mention that Lu Ping personally commanded, standing on the deck, they quickly beat the incoming attackers to a retreat.

The terrain of Tiger Prison Gorge is steep, on the one hand, because of the turbulent current, and on the other hand, because of the dense reefs under the water. Some of the Shen family members who fell down by the partition rope unfortunately landed on the protruding reef, and under the heavy blow, they were either unconscious or unable to support their bodies, and they were soon swept into the depths of the canyon by the dark river.

"It can't go on like this." Seeing that he had suffered a heavy loss in his last hole card, Shen Moci couldn't sit still, "Please also ask Lord Tongzhi to give the order to attack." ”

The biggest difference between the government soldiers and the ordinary people is that the government soldiers can bring their own arrows and crossbows. The imperial court has a very strict control over iron smelting, and ordinary people are good at casting weapons, which is a major matter of going to prison to ask for crimes.

This kung fu Wu Youliang has already asked the little marquis what he did in Qingcheng, and re-evaluated the weight of Ah Yao in his heart. Then he found out that capturing the Hu family girl alive to threaten the little marquis was indeed the way to outwit with the greatest grasp and the least casualties.

"With arrows, remember not to hurt the girl of the Hu family."

At the sound of an order, hiding behind the Shen family's subordinates, the government soldiers dressed as water bandits suddenly opened their bows and arrows, and aimed their brushes at the Hu family's fleet.

"Together!"

After taking over the horns from Ah Yao and temporarily taking over the Hu family's fleet, Lu Ping had already imagined all kinds of possibilities and expected this kind of situation. However, limited by the weak offensive means of the merchant ship itself, Rao had a thousand ideas, and in the end it could only be reduced to one day: defense.

Fortunately, the Hu family merchant ship is tightly done, and there is a thick iron plate under the outer layer of wood brushed with tung oil, and the newly built ship, the inner wall of the cabin has added a layer of iron plate, and the double-layer reinforcement can be said to be solid.

The horns peculiar to the Formation rang out, and the ships that had been scattered on the river, firmly guarding the ships in the middle of the building, leaned in the middle. Head to tail, connected by thick hemp rope, the deck is connected and encircles the building ship for two full circles. And the cabins of these two circles of ships are even more staggered, protecting the middle building ship closely. At the same time, all the men on the ship outside retreated inward, just in time to avoid the first wave of arrows.

Under the iron wall, no amount of arrows is wasted.

"My lord, the ship is covered with iron."

"Iron? The Hu family dared to use iron without authorization, which was a blatant violation of the laws of the imperial court. ”

This woman was thinking about how to target the Hu family, and she had no overall view, "What the imperial court prohibits is only the use of iron to make weapons, but it is only for reinforcement, and the gate of the main house of the Shen family is said to have a layer of iron plate inside?" ”

Shen Moci stopped talking, walked towards penetration, and looked at the fleet in the middle of the Tiger Prison Gorge against the firelight.

"In the past, Lu Xun, the governor of the Three Kingdoms, burned the company camp, how similar is the situation now, why not attack it with fire?"

"Miss Shen, if you want to take revenge on the Hu family, that's your own business, and the official just wants to capture the Hu family girl alive, so as to lure Beihou into the urn."

"When the fire spreads, could it be that everyone on the ship will defend and let themselves be burned alive? At that time, we only need to arrange people around the building boat and directly capture Hu Yao who dived alive. ”

Hu Yao's buttocks were burned by the fire, and she abandoned the boat in a hurry to escape, just thinking about her appearance, Shen Moci felt happy. With a hideous smile on her face, she couldn't help but think viciously: it is best to jump on the raised stone in the heart of the river, and also cut the wound on the prominent part of the body.

"Fire attack." Feeling that what Shen Moci said was reasonable, Wu Youliang commanded out loud.

But this time, the soldiers who gave the order behind him did not move, and after a few breaths, he could not hear any movement, and when he looked back angrily, he saw that the boat he brought on the back was in flames, and in a moment the fire had spread to the whole ship, and the fire illuminated the entire Tiger Prison Gorge.

In the bright light of the sky, Lu Jingyuan, who was dressed in a dark robe, stepped on the moon, stepped on the railing of the bow of the boat on tiptoe, condescendingly hugged his fists slightly at the two, and looked at Shen Moci with a sharp gaze: "Thank you Miss Shen for your advice." ”

Dingbei Hou ...... How could he be in the rear? No, he appeared!

Surprise is followed by surprise, what are they here for? It's not to take the life of the Northern Marquis.

"Come here, move the crossbow, shoot the Dingbei Marquis, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be a thousand taels of gold."

Wu Youliang commanded loudly that in order to ensure that the Marquis of Dingbei could be put to death today, he used the only ten crosses □□ in the state capital. This crossbow is a few years ago in response to the Japanese invaders when the imperial court was specially equipped, a crossbow can be loaded with ten thick arrows, ten together, a hundred powerful stout arrows shot towards people, Rao is martial arts no matter how strong it will be shot into a hedgehog.

The little marquis obviously also knew this, and stood firmly at the bow of the boat, he looked at Wu Youliang with a smile: "In the past, only five □□ were dispatched, but today it is double to deal with this wait." Could it be that in General Wu's heart, Ben Hou is even more heinous than the Japanese Kou? ”

General Wu, hearing this salutation, Wu Youliang was rarely silent, and the oath to protect his family and defend the country when he first joined the army tortured his heart.

"The tiger father has no dogs, the Marquis of Dingbei is young and promising, and Wen Taowu is not much better than the Guangping Hou of the year. However, you and I are our own masters, and now we are on opposite sides, and we are enemies on this battlefield. ”

"General Wu is clearly divided between friend and foe." chuckling, there was infinite mockery in Lu Jingyuan's voice.

Wu Youliang turned his head, the deepest memory in his mind was touched, and for a while he didn't dare to look directly at the little marquis's gaze, "The last general is also helpless, release, crossbow, arrow!" ”

The last three words were almost squeezed out between his teeth, and after giving the order, he lowered his head, a little unbearable to look directly at the scene when the black robe was tied into a sieve. Clenched his fists and avoided to the side, and in the middle of the night, the night wind hit, and the surroundings were quiet, and even the previous sound of killing had disappeared.

When he looked up again, there were already more than a dozen dark guards in dark blue robes around him.
