[003] Rush boat to chase the murderer
"Wow", the middle-aged woman spit out a mouthful of blood, her breath was clear, and she immediately shouted desperately: "Leave me alone, save my little sister ......"
"Who arrested Xiaomei?" Jiang Shuihan asked.
Jiang Shuihan rescued his little sister's mother in the house, while Meng Yuanyun and others did not enter the house and directly inquired about the news outdoors.
Meng Yuanyun grabbed an old man who looked like an old fisherman and asked, "This uncle, what happened here?"
"It's really miserable, somehow a group of thieves suddenly came, robbed the girl of this family, and killed the old Li family......"
"How many people did you see?"
The old man hurriedly said: "No, I heard the sound of crackling and fighting here, and I didn't dare to go out! There are a lot of people, and it is estimated that there are more than a dozen......
Meng Yuanyun stepped forward and asked, "Did you hear in which direction the thief fled?"
"Listening to the voice, it seems to be running to the West Pier......"
At this time, Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Shuihan also walked out of the house. The middle-aged woman's injuries were too serious, although she had the [Sheng] system of true qi to maintain, but she herself did not know martial arts, and she had no foundation for internal strength, so after explaining the appearance of the leader of the thieves, she swallowed her breath.
"Someone has gone to the West Wharf......" Meng Yuanyun saw the two of them come out, and immediately said.
"Follow me!" Meng Yuanyun took the lead and rushed out.
The five of them hadn't gone far, and the river was already in sight in the distance!
When!when!
A sentry post suddenly sounded an alarm bell, but after a brief exchange of weapons, a qiē fell silent again.
But the three bells had already been heard far away, and Jiang Shuihan and the others listened to them......
"It's the alarm bell of the sentry post at the West Wharf!" The village has a curfew, and someone must have broken into the village to go out,...... Jiang Shuihan explained. The crowd was even faster, and they chased after them.
Go without saying. It must be those characters who injured Zhong Sunliang and robbed Li Xiaomei to break into the village there!
Ye Qingxuan heard the bell ringing. Immediately left everyone behind, rushed out with all his might, and with the bell as a guide, the direction of the enemy could already be determined.
Meng Yuanyun followed, Jiang Shuihan again, Ruhua and Wan Guotai were thrown far last.
With the warning bell, disciples of the Great River League immediately lit torches in all directions and rushed towards this side. However, the distance is still far away, and in the direction of this west wharf, it is pitch black, and everyone's hearts can't help but sink, under such a clear alarm bell, no disciple has lit a torch to inspect, maybe all the disciples on duty here have been poisoned.
Ye Qingxuan struggled to hurry, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the sentry tower on the small slope in the distance.
The sentry tower, where there should have been a disciple of the Great River League on duty, was quiet at this time.
Ye Qingxuan knew that something was wrong and rose up. Sweep towards the watchtower.
Without a moment's effort, Ye Qingxuan came downstairs. The sentry tower was quiet and lonely, not hearing the slightest sound, and there was no movement around.
Ye Qingxuan jumped up and landed in the sentry tower like a big bird.
The sight of the scene made his originally angry state of mind cold.
The three disciples of the Great River League who were guarding the tower fell to the ground crookedly, and the blood stained the sentry tower red, obviously being attacked by the enemy.
On the table in the lookout, a letter was placed steadily, one of the corners of which was pressed against a copper paperweight.
On the envelope was written a few big characters "The Lord of the Jiang League personally opened", and there was another line of small characters under the left corner, which read: "Chijiao helped Yao Dingsheng worship".
Chijiao helps Yao Dingsheng!?
"Nine-headed Jiao King" Yao Dingsheng!?
It turned out to be this underworld giant.
It seems that the other party is targeting the Dajiang League, and it is by no means his own brothers, the real intention of the other party is to spy on the truth of the Dajiang League, and the foreign generation will give the Dajiang League a dismount, and it is even possible that the matter of robbing Li Xiaomei and seriously injuring Zhong Sun Liang just happened by chance.
Ye Qingxuan's gaze swept to the dark surface of the Rolling Dragon River.
Whew.
The sound of sails unfurling and being blown by the wind can be heard on the surface of the river.
It's the sound of setting sail.
Ye Qingxuan turned over and jumped off the sentry tower, and at this time, Meng Yuanyun and Jiang Shuihan had already arrived under the sentry tower.
Ye Qingxuan's falling figure kicked the sentry tower, turned in the air and threw it in the direction of the dock, and at the same time shouted in a deep voice: "The dock! It's the person from the Chijiao Gang Yao Dingsheng!"
Jiang Shuihan frowned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his figure did not stop, he rushed forward, and said, "Let's catch up!"
The three of them galloped to the riverside, and saw that there were several corpses of disciples of the Great River League, hidden in the corner, obviously the other party had the manpower to answer outside, and the people inside rushed out to kill, and the manpower outside had already controlled this small west pier in their own hands.
This was a premeditated plan by the other party, and judging from the fact that their own brothers had not even had time to make a warning sound, they had already been poisoned, and the other party was definitely a good hand.
Jiang Shuihan's expression returned to calm, his eyes swept over the corpse of Brother Dajiang Meng, grief flashed in his eyes, the chill in his eyes became more prevalent, and the person became calmer.
"Get on board!" Jiang Shui Han flew towards a shuttle-type clipper, which was a special clipper made by the Great River League.
Ye Qingxuan then flew in.
Boom!
The sword came out of its sheath, and a drill flashed through the air, and the cable that the clipper tied to the shore immediately snapped.
Meng Yuanyun also fell off the boat......
The three of them didn't use oars, they directly used their feet to force, and they urged with their luck, and as if dozens of wrestlers were rowing together, the clipper shot out like an arrow from the string and sailed into the river.
"Wait for us—"
Ruhua, who was carrying a Zen staff on the shore, and Wan Guotai, who was carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, shouted in unison, and chased wildly along the river bank.
A silver dragon struck from the boat, rolling up Ruhua and Wan Guotai, and in the scream, the two had been swept onto the clipper by Ye Qingxuan with a demon whisk......
In the blink of an eye, the clipper had melted into the darkness of the night.
Cuitong Mountain.
At the sentry tower where the death case occurred, several important figures of Jiang Tao's cronies of the Great River League were all gathered, and everyone looked at the letters on the case with frowns.
Jiang Tao retracted his gaze from the elite disciples of the Great River Alliance who were searching for traces of the enemy outside, looked at several elders of the Great River Alliance around him, and said in a deep voice: "The forces of the Red Jiao Gang have always been dense in the middle and upper reaches of the Great River. The Rolling Dragon River is just a tributary of the Great River. He has always been with them, and the water of the well is not interfered with by the river. Unexpectedly, Yao Dingsheng's appetite has become so big now, and he actually stretched out his hand to the Rolling Dragon River. ”
Meng Dahai picked up the envelope on the table and said in a deep voice: "The most strange thing in this matter is that the Chijiao Gang didn't have the slightest intention of negotiating before, our Dajiang Alliance's business has only ended at the edge of the Dajiang River, and has never entered the Dajiang Valley. This Ma Wei is inevitably a little inexplicable, Yao Dingsheng is so disregarding the rules of the rivers and lakes, and he is not afraid of the accusations of the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the reproaches of the imperial court?"
As an underworld giant, the Chijiao Gang occupies almost all the water and land transportation in the middle and upper reaches of the Great River, and has always been incompatible with the Longjiang River in the lower reaches of the Great River and the border sea basin.
Yao Dingsheng, with his background in the green forest, was able to compete with the "General Zhendong" Yu Pohai's Longjiang Society, which in itself is enough to show that his own strength is superior and his ability is prominent.
It's just that Yao Dingsheng's goal has always been to defeat the "Longjiang Society" and control the entire river basin, so why is he going against the grain now. Targeting the Great River League?
This made everyone in the Dajiang League feel an inexplicable sense of unease in their hearts.
Jiang Tao's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Don't say anything else." This time, the problem is actually stricter than expected. Our strength has grown so rapidly lately that our skyrocketing wealth is easily coveted by outsiders...... For a long time, relying on the operation of Lao Meng and your brothers, the security of our main altar in Cuitong Mountain has always been strict, but today, the enemy can not only calmly touch the island, kill people, but also rob our people, which shows that our defense is still not strong enough. In the past few years, our life has been getting better and better, but our vigilance has become lower and lower! Starting today, Lao Meng, you are still in charge of strengthening the safety of the main altar and the village!"
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
After a while, only Jiang Tao and Meng Dahai were left in the sentry tower.
Jiang Tao deliberately left Meng Dahai behind, saying that he was studying the security work of the village, but in fact, both of them were human spirits, so naturally they had something to explain in private.
Meng Dahai's face became even more gloomy.
Jiang Tao sighed and said slowly: "Old Meng, it seems that this time we are going to go through a real test......
Meng Dahai smiled roughly, and said: "Wealth is moving! His Chijiao Gang has taken a fancy to our hot business, and it is only a matter of time before he starts to deal with us, and not only the Chijiao Gang, in my opinion, there are also many small gangs that are also staring at the meat in our pot, we only have two ways to go, one is to hand over the sale, and the whole faction will serve the Chijiao Gang, and the other is to work hard with them and fight for a piece of the sky......
Jiang Tao said in a deep voice: "It's not two roads, it's only one way, and that is to fight with them! The Great River League is not my Jiang Tao's own Great Jiang League, it is the world where our brothers fought together, how can we give it to others? Moreover, he Yao Dingsheng refused to give up the ultimatum, and directly killed the killer, obviously relying on his strength, and was ready to eat our Dajiang League alive, instead of taking things in! Hmph, he Yao Dingsheng dared to come, so he thought that my Dajiang League was a vegetarian?" Then Jiang Tao's expression became gloomy and he said slowly: " Lao Meng, our brothers don't say secret words, I'm not worried that people from outside will come to snatch our jobs, I'm just worried that there are people inside this Great River League who are unstable and greedy for things that don't belong to him......"
Meng Dahai was stunned when he heard this, and then said slowly with a solemn face: "Lao Jiang, do you mean that there is a problem with our insiders?"
Jiang Tao nodded.
It must be known that since the construction of the general altar of the Great River League, because Meng Dahai was born in the army, it is customary to pay close attention to all kinds of secrecy work on the island, especially the personnel who come here are strictly investigated, and it is even more difficult for outsiders to enter. But now the enemy can not only calmly touch the island, kill, rob people, and leave, calmly and freely, if it is not for the leadership of personnel who are extremely familiar with the internal layout of the general altar of the Great River League, it is impossible to come and go freely, which shows that there are traitors secretly collaborating with the enemy in the general altar of the Great River League, and the status should not be too low.
Meng Dahai pursed his mouth tightly and didn't speak, but Jiang Tao said directly: "Old Meng, our brother can't have a problem, everyone has been here for the past few years, and everyone has been here to get wind and rain, and they have all settled down and have a wife, I think this time it should be the matter of those guys who were set up by us!"
The Great River League was originally a gang alliance composed of more than a dozen small sects, and although the leader of the general alliance was Jiang Tao, the leaders of each faction still had a transcendent status. has its own cronies.
Three years ago, Jiang Tao used his cronies to seize power in one fell swoop. Eliminated the forces that opposed him in the alliance. hit the power into his own hands, but after these two years, the wealth and power of the Dajiang Alliance have risen wildly, and although the lives of these faction leaders are dozens of times better than before, there are still people who are still interested in the status of Hongjiang Tao and fantasize about replacing them. It is very likely that these people are traitors who collude with outsiders and dream of seizing the power of the Great River Alliance.
Meng Dahai's eyes flashed with a cold light. Sen Ran said: "Okay, leave this matter to me!"
Because of the sudden crisis, Jiang Tao is ready to sort out the potential threats in the alliance again, regardless of whether they really collude with the Chijiao Gang, they must first settle inside, and use the incident of the Chijiao Gang to completely eradicate those forces that refuse to follow him.
Jiang Tao rose in the recklessness, and his means can definitely be called a hero.
The water vapor of the Rolling Dragon River at night is humid and cold, and the clipper boat is speeding on the river. The cold and wet air was blowing in my face.
The small boat, which the five people urged with all their might, glided on the surface of the lake without slowing down. His demeanor was calm, and people who didn't know the affair saw it and thought that he wanted to swim in the lake late at night.
As a tributary of the largest river system in the Shenwu Continent, the Rolling Dragon River itself is already extremely vast, the area starts from the Yunmeng Mountain in the southeast of Yunzhou, spans the south of Jingzhou, connects the Manjiang River of the familiar jungle in the south, connects the river in the north, the water and the sky are connected, the blue waves are Haosen, and the weather is thousands, but if you want to find a boat in such waters, you will find a person in the desert.
Fortunately, there are very few boats at night, and the sound of water waves in the distance is still in the ears, and everyone follows the sound to chase it, and they will not chase it away.
And Ye Qingxuan knew that he would definitely be able to find the other party.
Because the enemy's large ship was slowing down, it was thought that he had already spotted the small boat chasing from behind, and deliberately led them there.
It seems that a vicious battle will not be avoided.
The other party is killing people and robbing people in the general altar of the Dajiang League, and his arrogance is so arrogant, how can he allow a small boat to chase them straight away?
The other party went straight down the river along the waters of the Rolling Dragon River, and now it has already passed Tonglu City, although it is still within the sphere of influence of the Great River Alliance, but the other party obviously does not take this medium-sized sect in his eyes, the speed of the ship slowly slowed down, and the two-masted ship in the distance gradually expanded in front of him.
The boat is brightly lit.
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but smile coldly, and said to the brothers around him: "Have you seen it, brothers? ”
Meng Yuanyun laughed and said coldly: "That's really good! I'll let them know how powerful our brothers are later!"
The enemy is so fearless, he definitely regards Jiang Tao, Meng Dahai and others as the main force of the Great River Alliance, and will not know about the arrival of Ye Qingxuan and others. Because of Ye Qingxuan's appearance on the blood list, everyone became extremely cautious, and the news was blocked very well, that is, Jiang Shuihan's father, Jiang Tao, only got the news when they arrived in Tonglu City, and knew the exact time of their arrival.
As for the arrival of the Red Jiao Gang, it was just a coincidence.
The enemy attacked the Great River League, on the one hand, he overestimated his own strength, and at the same time, he underestimated the Great River Alliance, this time he just took advantage of the other party's paralysis and carelessness to teach this arrogant and arrogant Chijiao Gang a good lesson.
Ruhua waved the Zen staff in her hand vigorously, and asked excitedly, "Can you let go of the fight?"
Jiang Shui said coldly: "Don't act rashly when you get on the boat! Save people first!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then nodded at the same time.
At the same time, everyone looked at Wan Guotai, who had been silent, and saw that his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was full of murderous intent, holding the right hand of the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and the green tendons were exposed, indicating that his heart was by no means as calm as it seemed on the surface at this time.
He was silent, not an iceberg, but a volcano about to erupt......
That handsome girl's family, although it was not because of him that he suffered, Wan Guotai has always felt that it is difficult for him to shirk his responsibility, maybe without his own temporary intentions, there would be no serious injury to Uncle Liang, and there would not be a big disaster for Li Xiaomei's family, and there would not be so many disciples of the Great Jiang League who died......
For the first time, Wan Guotai, who had never believed in fate, felt that his actions had brought bad luck to these people.
When a person can't believe what is happening in front of him, he will always take it for granted that he will shirk the responsibility for his fate.
At this time, Wan Guotai blamed himself so much.
Everyone knows that the eldest brother Wan Guotai at this time must vent in order to release all the anger in his heart.
The big ship was already in front of him, and the other party did not make any hostile movements, not even the shooting of the archers, and he looked like he was coming.
With more force under the feet of the people, the boat rushed diagonally onto a wave, and "rustled" on the sharp ridge of the wave, and the speed increased to the limit.
Ye Qingxuan let out a long roar, and the five of them soared into the air like big birds and flew on the big ship together.
Poof, poof......
The five of them were almost in no particular order, and at the same time they were firmly on the deck.
In a burst of sneering, a voice sounded: "A group of rats of the Great Jiang League who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they dare to pursue the ships of my Chijiao Gang, haven't you seen the letter we left for you that hillbilly alliance leader? Since you are here, you don't need to go, it just so happens that the young gang leader of my family feels that the impression left on your league this time is not deep enough, so I will use the heads of the five of you to send Jiang Tao another gift." ”
The five of them were speechless and looked at the crowd opposite. I saw two square tables lined up in a row near the cabin on the deck, each table had four Taishi chairs, and a total of six men and two women sat on eight chairs, each table had a pair of mahjong, and they were playing mahjong leisurely there.
Behind the eight stood thirty men in military uniforms of different heights, all of whom were fierce warriors.
On the table on the left, facing everyone, was the person who had just spoken, a young man dressed in a fine costume, with a high crown on his head, wearing a big red brocade robe, with a good appearance and extraordinary momentum, but his eyes were long and thin, giving people the feeling of cunning and wisdom.
