Chapter 218: A Knife That Makes It So Fast
★★★ Ask for a commuter pass! Recommended Ticket! ★★★
The cave on the Turtle's Back Cliff is hidden in a field of vines, and it is difficult to see even if a ship passes by on the sea. The trunk of the plum tree is thick and thick, and there are green leaves mixed with some small purple flowers.
A spring of water dripped down from the mouth of the cave and flowed down the sloping ground again.
In the hole, there are beds and chairs, and it is very clean.
Such a place can be called a blessed place.
Xia Xun sat at the entrance of the cave, facing the sea, and the spring flowers were blooming.
In front of him was a small square table, on which there was a plate of crabs, shrimp, fish, and a bag of spiced donkey meat, which was a little air-dried, but sprinkled with a little soy sauce, and the taste was very good.
The vine at the entrance of the cave shook slightly, mixed with some fine gravel rolling down, and then the figure flashed, and Su Ying appeared at the entrance of the cave with a hidden rope hanging with one arm.
"Sit!"
Xia Xun smiled, like a host, and politely invited Su Ying to sit down.
Su Ying glared at him and said angrily: "Others are busy, but you are at ease, the Chumi Gang has occupied Shuangyu Island, and the imperial court sailors have also been dispatched, don't you want to know what the situation is now?" ”
Xia Xun said with a smile: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." We've done what we need to do, and now we're waiting for the results, what's the use of hurrying? ”
Su Ying snorted, sat down opposite him, skillfully disassembled a crab, picked up a piece of white crab meat with crab horns, and asked, "If this battle is successful, what kind of official can you be promoted?" ”
Xia Xun shrugged and said: "The merit is also Cao Guogong's, and it is strange to see my performance in it." If Cao Guogong is willing not to trouble me, then thank God, how can I expect to get any credit and promotion? ”
Su Ying said suspiciously: "You and this Cao Guogong don't seem to deal well?" ”
Xia Xun smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that any official will be uncomfortable." ”
Xia Xun said, and then told him about his grudge with Li Jinglong, Su Ying raised his big finger and praised: "Good job, for a woman, offending such a powerful person, not sparing his own brilliant future, is a man." ”
Xia Xun smiled indifferently: "The same thing, depending on what angle you stand on." King Zhou You smiled for Bo Bao, and did not hesitate to be a faint monarch, what ...... we, hehe, between the woman I like and the future of my life, I would rather choose the former. ”
Su Ying said: "I thought that you were all majestic and everything went well, so you broke your heads one by one and squeezed in, but I didn't expect that there were so many troubles, if you want me to say, being at ease on this sea is not better than being an angry official who looks at people's faces?" ”
Xia Xun said with a smile: "If you are a big boss, will you go ashore and join the government in one go?" ”
Su Ying was stunned and said stupidly: "That's different." ”
Xia Xun said: "What's the difference, many times, it's easy to say that others are easy, but it's difficult to do it yourself." ”
Su Ying snorted, was silent for a moment, and said: "Tonight, my people will lead your warships to sneak in, and the people left behind on my side will cut off some police posts to cover the sneak attack of the warships, and the big boss will immediately start acting when they receive the news." What you want us to do, we have done it all, you have to remember, Shuangyu will return it to us, if you don't keep your word......"
Xia Xun said: "I know, I'm here, I'm a hostage at all." Anyway, you saved my life, if you want it, take it back. ”
Now in the end, they are still allies, saying that these are a bit unpleasant, Su Ying diverted the topic and asked, "What about wine?" Isn't there a few jars of good wine stored here, why don't you take it out and drink it? ”
Xia Xun said: "You see that I am sitting here very leisurely, but in fact, I have something in my heart, where can I drink?" Hey, you're done, so fast! ”
Xia Xun watched Su Ying put together a crab that had eaten empty crab meat and crab roe, and it was still intact, and then looked at the messy table in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised: "How did you do it, teach me!" ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Su Ying had never seen such a stupid egg, she took out the strength to eat milk, and finally taught Xia Xun how to eat crabs, Xia Xun After countless attempts, Xia Xun finally combined the empty crabs into a complete crab, and couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing, happy as a child.
At this time, Xu Hu had just received news from Xiao Chu.
"Officers and soldiers again? They're really haunted! ”
In the Juyi Hall, Xu Hu slammed the wine bowl to the ground and sneered: "If you reply to the Chu family, just say that I, Xu Hu, will immediately order all the people and horses and kill Shuangyu overnight." According to what Chu Dangjia said, one north and one south with the sea king Chen Da Dang's family, block the retreat of the officers and soldiers, and at sunrise tomorrow, we will join forces inside and outside to launch an attack! This time, let's make it a big one, make him suffer a big loss in Hangzhou, and don't dare to offend us easily! ”
"Thank you to the big one, and thank you to the small one for us. At the Sea King's place, our boss also sent someone to go, and the little one had to rush back, otherwise when the officers and soldiers were armed, it would be difficult for the villain to sneak in and report the news. ”
"Okay, okay, you go back first, I'll immediately allocate people!"
The two pirates led the messenger of the Chumi Gang who reported the news and hurriedly walked out, Xu Hu looked around and looked at the dozens of big and small leaders in the Juyi Hall.
Lei Xiaoxi strode up and said: "The big boss, the officers and soldiers are really here, this time there are people from the Chumi Gang to take the lead for us, and with the help of the big boss Chen, we can show our skills." The brothers are holding back their energy and waiting for the big boss to speak, you will give the order of the big boss, how you say to fight, we will fight! ”
Xu Hu returned to the main seat, sat down slowly, looked at the many subordinates who had left their seats and gathered in the center of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Second master, you lead a big ship and five small ships, and immediately send troops to Nanlu Island, and I will lead the rest of the ships to escort you into battle." ”
Lei Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Big boss, you are confused." It's the Shuangyu Gang, not Nanlu Island! ”
Xu Hu smiled deeply, his eyes slowly raised, and said slowly: "That's right, it's Nanlu Island!" Taking advantage of the siege of Shuangyu by the officers and soldiers and intercepting Xiao Chu's main force, we took his lair overnight, and all the women and children were brought back to take care of him, cutting off his back road. Then the troops sent to Xiaojiao Island, Chen Zuyi led the warship to participate in the battle, and its supplies must be left on the island, and will not be dragged to the battlefield, and he will be copied back together. ”
Lei Xiaoxi changed color and said, "Big boss, what do you mean by this?" ”
Many of the leaders in the hall were dazed, but there were also some, apparently already aware, who were not surprised at all, and they quietly moved their steps, moving without a trace, and began to occupy the advantageous terrain.
Xu Hu said: "What do you mean? The Shuangyu Gang is a big shark whose relatives don't recognize him, and Chen Zuyi is even more ill-intentioned and untrustworthy. At the beginning, we were forced to agree to join the gang because their army was pressing, and the imperial court sailors were constantly harassing, and we had to agree to come down because of the enemy. But the rule of my Shuangyu Gang has always been that I don't do it by robbing homes and houses. We smuggle and sell goods, and the wealth is rolling, why should we follow him Chen Zuyi to take a huge risk?
Although we are not on Shuangyu Island now, we are still Shuangyu Gang, and the rules are the rules, and they cannot be changed! Now is a God-given opportunity, while they are dealing with the officers and soldiers, we have copied their back road, cut off their supplies, this East China Sea, is our family dominant, God-given opportunity, why not take advantage of it? ”
Lei Xiaoxi's face was extremely ugly and said: "Big boss, how come I didn't know anything about such a big thing in advance?" ”
Xu Hu smiled gently, and said apologetically: "The second master, the matter is big, there are many and miscellaneous people under you, the second boss has a bold temperament and no scheming, I am worried that once you accidentally show your mouth and fall into the ears of those who have a heart, it will be a disaster for our Shuangyu Gang." So, this time, I was the one who acted arbitrarily and didn't consult with you. ”
"This won't work!"
Lei Xiaoxi said angrily: "Either we don't agree to join the gang, or we promise to join the gang and go back on our word, that is unkind and unjust, I, Lei Xiaoxi, am a man who stands up to the sky, and I don't want to be an unkind and unrighteous seed!" ”
Xu Hu lowered his face and said: "The second master, our Shuangyu rules, have always implemented the military law of King Cheng, and the order must be carried out, and it must not be disobeyed!" I, Xu Hu, am the leader of the Shuangyu Gang, and I have already decided on this matter! ”
Lei Xiaoxi said violently: "Fuck the military law, go to the fucking rules, I can hear the cocoon in my ears, we are a group of thieves, a group of thieves who are not treated by the government, what kind of military law and rules do you talk about!" ”
Xu Hu's face sank, and he patted the case and said: "Come on, lock up the second master, I will personally take the boat to sea, this is the case, I will punish you for disobedience again!" ”
"Who dare?"
Lei Xiaoxi's confidant He Tianyang pulled out his sharp long knife with a "sonorous" sound, and shouted obediently: "Big boss, I think what the second boss said makes sense." We are pirates, how can we join forces with officers and soldiers to deal with pirates! ”
Xu Hu put his hands on the case, slowly stood up, and shouted coldly: "Are you going to rebel?" ”
Leader Jia didn't speak, just choked and pulled out a narrow blade, and also stood beside Lei Xiaoxi, answering him with actions.
The leaders in the hall were all flustered, Xu Hu's cronies naturally did not move, Su Ying's cronies watched coldly, but Lei Xiaoxi's cronies moved closer to him one after another, and some centrist leaders couldn't help but be in a dilemma.
Lei Xiaoxi laughed, pushed away He Tianyang and Leader Jia who were protecting him, took two steps forward proudly, and said to Xu Hu triumphantly: "Big boss, you are perverse, and what you do is unpopular." Look at it, whether there are many people who obey you, or there are many people who disobey you, in my opinion, you still give up the position of the big boss, and I, Lei Xiaoxi, will lead everyone to do it! ”
Xu Hu looked at him with a complicated expression, and asked coldly, "What benefits did Chen Zuyi promise you?" ”
Lei Xiaoxi's face was slightly red, but fortunately, his face was dark, and he couldn't see anything, he said loudly: "No one allows me anything, I'm good to everyone, the Shuangyu Gang is in my hands, and it can make everyone live a good life better than in your hands!" ”
Xu Hu scolded: "A good day to rob a house? I don't covet this position, but Su Lao is in charge, he handed over this burden to me at the beginning, I am responsible for the father and elder of the whole island, second brother, turn back to the shore, you still have time to stop now, I Xu Hu still recognizes you as the second brother, and I will never be too embarrassed for you. ”
Lei Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Xu Hu, are you talking in your dreams?" Look at how many people in this hall serve you? ”
He stiffened up and shouted, "If you are willing to do it with my second brother, stand up!" ”
Some of the leaders of the neutral faction, seeing the large number of people around Lei Xiaoxi, couldn't help but hesitate to approach him.
Xu Hu narrowed his eyes and said, "Lei Xiaoxi, are you going to rebel?" According to my Shuangyu military regulations, you don't obey military orders and usurp power! ”
Lei Xiaoxi laughed out of breath: "Xu Xiucai, I think you are really stupid at reading, you can't see which of us has the big fist?" You are as stupid as Ah Mei, clinging to the rules, we are bandits, we are bandits! ”
Xu Hu shouted: "According to my Shuangyu military regulations, Lei Xiaoxi, behead!" Who will take his life with me? ”
Before Lei Xiaoxi could laugh, he heard a loud shout behind him: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
Lei Xiaoxi was furious, and just wanted to turn his head to see who was so bold, but suddenly felt that he had risen into the air and pounced on Xu Hu!
Lei Xiaoxi was very surprised, if it comes to martial arts, Xu Hu is not under him, there are many others, I didn't think about going head-to-head with Xu Hu, why did I rush towards him? And this leap ...... so high, almost the hairpin was about to touch the top of the hole, and he never knew that his bounce power was so good.
These are just moments of effort, how fast is a moment? Buddhists say that a moment is a thought, and twenty thoughts are a moment. Twenty moments is a snap of a finger, and twenty snaps of a finger is a pre-roll. Twenty Luo is pre-destined for one Susu, and one day and one day is thirty Susu. According to this calculation: a blink of an eye is twenty-four moments, and a flash is 0.018 seconds.
Lei Xiaoxi found that he had pounced in front of Xu Hu, a good opportunity! Xu Hu didn't have time to react, as long as he took out the knife at this time, he could cut off Xu Hu's head with one knife, Lei Xiaoxi was overjoyed, and reached out to pull out the knife, but suddenly there was a feeling of powerlessness, his hand didn't seem to listen to his call?
Lei Xiaoxi's head slammed on the table in front of Xu Hu with a "bang", blood splashed everywhere, and before the other person's head bounced, Xu Hu's hand was already pressed on his head, twisted in reverse, and the head that was cut off by a knife became a thief facing the crowd.
Lei Xiaoxi was not dead yet, his eyes widened, and he turned a few times in shock, and finally landed on He Tianyang, who was lunge short, pointed forward with a long knife, and the last drop of blood still fell on the snowy blade, as if he understood something, and as if he didn't understand anything, those eyes were frozen, and they never moved.
Xu Hu pressed Lei Xiaoxi's head, looked at Lei Xiaoxi's subordinates, and said with a murderous face: "Lei Xiaoxi committed a rebellion, and now he has been ambushed, where are you going?" ”
Xu Hu's cronies and subordinates drew their swords one after another, pointing at them, Su Ying's subordinates also drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the leaders of the neutral faction who were hesitating and wanted to lean on Lei Xiaoxi's crowd immediately jumped away as if avoiding the plague, Lei Xiaoxi's cronies and subordinates hesitated for a moment, "Dangchang", someone was the first to abandon the blade, and then when the sound continued, all the leaders fell to the ground one after another, and said loudly: "I am willing to be sent from the big boss!" ”
Xu Hu stretched out his hand and pulled the bun on Lei Xiaoxi's head, held his head in his hand, and said lightly: "Soldier to Nanlu Island!" ”
