Qingyun Water Village, Juyi Hall.

On the table were three repeater crossbows brought back by Wei Dachang and others. Fifty paces away, there was a wooden frame, and three crossbow arrows pierced through three layers of cowhide armor and firmly stuck to the wooden frame. After seeing the power of the repeater, there was silence in the lobby.

"Lao Niu and Lao Zhao were shot to death by this thing." Wei Dachang hated the authentic.

Liu Ziwei sat sideways at the table, staring at the repeater on the table, with remorse in his heart. I thought that with the help of this natural disaster, I let Shuizhai hijack the money and food for disaster relief, and provoked a popular uprising, so that I could quickly open up the situation in Qing, Ji, Qi, and Jiang Prefectures, and with the response of foreign forces, Yuan Tianjiao could raise the banner of righteousness again, but now it seems that I am in a bit of a hurry.

With his hand on the white beard, Liu Ziwei sighed in his heart, missing this opportunity, he didn't know if he could see the day when the Yuan Tianjiao uprising, he was already dying, and his time was running out, only one fight, even if he died, it was better than dying on the bed.

The eyes of all the people in the hall fell on Liu Ziwei, when Liu Ziwei was a famous think tank in the Yuantian Sect, at the age of twenty-three, the official lived in the Ministry of Industry of Daqi, he once suggested that the Yuantian Sect Master Wu Xuanli "firmly build the foundation, slowly call the emperor, communicate with Miao Jiang, and build a water division" and other strategies, but unfortunately at that time, the Wu Sect Leader, like most people, was carried away by the victory, eager to claim the emperor and enjoy the official title, and did not listen to his advice.

After the city of Huaixing Mansion was broken, Liu Ziwei fled into the sea from the waterway with some of his men and horses, got rid of the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and successfully found the island, because a large amount of food was prepared on the island in advance, this group of people was able to settle down, and the Yuan Tianjiao preserved the strength of thousands of people in the hands of Liu Ziwei. However, the resources of the island are limited, and Liu Ziwei has sent people back one after another, and these people have lurked in various states, waiting for the opportunity.

In that year, some people of the Yuan Tianjiao absconded to the northwest. After decades of operation, the Yuan Tianjiao has developed in Huazhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou, and some people have become ministers and wealthy merchants in the Western Regions, and have a certain right to speak.

Two years ago, Liu Ziwei received a message from Shuizhai, got a winch crossbow, and personally came to Qingshan Shuizhai to study and transform. Liu Ziwei is the Ministry of Industry of the Great Qi Empire, he likes to make all kinds of novel instruments, knowing the huge influence of these instruments, he once designed a kind of "two-wheeled sailing wind and waves" for the water village, this kind of war-like do not open sails, rely on the power of trampling can advance and retreat freely on the river.

It was precisely because he knew how much impact the repeater would have on the war that Jiang Ziwei felt a strong sense of powerlessness. First there is a winch crossbow, and now there is a crossbow, I don't know what treasures are still hidden in the Dazheng Ministry of Industry and the Young Eunuch's Mansion, once they are used on the battlefield, these people in Shuizhai may not be enough for the officers and soldiers to pull at one time.

However, the morale must not be discharged, Liu Ziwei said calmly: "This attack on the Longwei Mansion won a complete victory, Brother Wei Xian, you are actually very great, as for Lao Niu, they died for the Great Sect, and the soul should enter the kingdom of heaven, there is no need to be sad, we will be together again in the future." ”

Seeing that everyone's faces returned to their smiles, Liu Ziwei said: "It's a good thing to be able to discover the repeater in advance, and I will study it with Master Hong as soon as possible to find a way to crack it." By the way, I have asked Qing'er to imitate dozens of winch crossbows, although they are not as strong as those made by Da Zheng, they can also be activated more than ten times. I changed the crossbow bolts into rockets, which were used against the building ships of the officers and soldiers, and as long as they were nailed by the rockets, they could quickly burn the battleships. Qing'er, you send a few planes to Mixed Water Village and Black Wind Village, the big war is coming, don't hide your secrets, let them also make some efforts, you can't just take things and not work. ”

Wang Tiangang leaned into Liu Ziwei's ear and whispered: "The little nephew got a tip-off, saying that the three brothers of the Zhao family secretly transported the women and children in the water village away, do you want to send someone to beat them?" ”

Liu Ziwei said: "No need, it's okay like this, but you can have no distractions." However, it can also be seen from this incident that Mixed Water Village and Black Wind Village are not necessarily of the same mind as us, and we must beware of them escaping or surrendering officers and soldiers. ”

After thinking about it, Liu Ziwei instructed: "The big war is imminent, and we can't take it lightly." Qing'er, when you go to deliver the winch crossbow, you might as well bring a few worshippers over, and put two in each water village, openly saying that they will protect the safety of their leaders, and secretly beware of their actions. This is also very important, we assassinated the people of the Longwei Mansion, and we must beware of the people of the Longwei Mansion jumping over the wall in a hurry and attacking our people. ”

Li Qing nodded in agreement.

Returning his gaze to the crossbow on the table, Liu Ziwei said: "According to the report, the officers and soldiers have established a water village in the upper reaches of Wuyangdu, and the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has dispatched 8,000 officers and soldiers who are familiar with water to practice water warfare in the water village, and we can't sit back and watch them practice. Recently, we organized the Shuizhai coalition to attack the official navy and snatch and burn their warships, so that the officers and soldiers knew that we were invincible on the water. ”

Everyone in the lobby looked angry and impassioned. Liu Ziwei stood up, his eyes swept over the faces of the old brothers and nephews beside him, and Liu Ziwei said angrily: "Gentlemen, the opportunity to restore the glory of my great Qi and make contributions is right in front of me. Reluctantly. ”

Watching everyone bow to him and walk out of the hall, Liu Ziwei's heart flashed with sadness, I don't know how many of these brave men will be left after the battle. Confronting a big country in a corner of the land is tantamount to hitting with an egg, and in order to preserve the vitality of the Great Sect, he will not hesitate to break his bones.

Hope is in the Western Regions and the Northern Desert to send troops, as long as it can be caught by then, everything will take a turn. Liu Ziwei turned to look at the map on the wall, lost in thought.

When the flood waters finally receded, the victims began to return to their hometowns one after another, and the food provided by the court for disaster relief arrived one after another. In Wuyang Mansion, the city gate was strictly checked, and the stranded victims were gathered together by the government, and the young and strong were selected to build canals and clean up garbage, and those who could row boats were selected to be sent to the newly built water village in Wuyangdu as boatmen.

Bao Ah Da was shirtless and paddled vigorously. It was a six-zhang long sail and oared warship, and there was no wind on the lake, so it rowed forward by forty paddlemen from the bilge. There were 50 officers and men on the ship, holding bows and knives, watching the command flag on the building ship advance and retreat.

In Bao Ada's eyes, these officers and soldiers are as stupid as pigs, not to mention fighting, as soon as the boat rocks slightly, they will stagger one by one, relying on them to defeat the brothers in Shuizhai. Bao Ah Da is a Yuantian cultist, and when the government urged the rent, it was Brother Chen who paid for his own family. Later, Brother Chen told himself that as long as he joined the Yuantian Sect, he would no longer be poor and suffered, and everyone would unite and live a good life together. A good life, who doesn't want a good life, Bao Ah Da became a Yuantian cultist.

This time there was a flood, the village was flooded, and Brother Chen took himself and several people in the village who were also Yuantianjiao to take a boat to the water village. There is no one less than seven people in the family, so it is a contact, and it would be good to survive two or three. Eating rice in the water village, the people in the village call themselves brothers, and they really don't suffer anymore as Brother Chen said.

When Shuizhai asked if he was willing to sneak into the Shuizhai of the government and help the Great Sect deliver the news, Bao Adada agreed without hesitation. He is just a lowly fisherman, looked down upon, since he joined the Yuantian Sect, the Great Sect often sends rice, grain and clothing, he feels that he lives like a person, and he says that he must be grateful to repay his kindness, even if it is for the sake of the old and young in the family, he must contribute to the Great Sect.

There should be a lot of people going down the mountain together, Bao Ah Da saw a lot of familiar faces when he was eating, they are all brothers in the church, the owner of the village has confessed before going down the mountain, everyone just don't know each other, but Bao Ah Da feels that his heart is warm.

In the evening, seven fast horses rushed into the west gate after the city gate was closed, and after showing the identity card of Longwei to the officers and soldiers on patrol, the fast horses went straight to the yamen of the Longwei Mansion along the street. Unexpectedly, it was empty, and the yamen was empty, and there were traces of knives and arrows on the closed door.

Someone jumped off the horse and banged on the gate, but no one responded. The middle person pushed off the coat and hat, revealing a beautiful face, it was Xin Fei.

"Qin Ziyan, jump in and open the door." Xinfei commanded.

Qin Ziyan flew off the horse, stepped on the wall, landed in the courtyard, opened the gate, and Xin Fei and the others led the horse fish in. The mansion has been cleaned, but the blood stains and knife marks are still clearly visible, Xin Fei frowned, and said, "Release the signal arrow and summon the dragon guard." ”

A red firework shot up into the sky and exploded in a high place, and according to the rules of the dragon guard, the dragon guard who saw the signal needed to quickly move closer to the fireworks.

Siyu flattened her mouth and said: "Miss, I'm in a hurry all the way, my body is about to stink, I don't believe you smell it." ”

Siqing on the side rubbed her thin waist and complained: "That's it, running three hundred miles a day, the horses are tired and lying down several horses, Miss, you have made enough contributions, do you have to work so hard?" ”

Looking at the two junior sisters named maids, Xin Fei said apologetically: "I'm sorry, senior sister can't accompany you." ”

turned his face and said: "It is said that it is good to let you be like Sifeng and Sichen, and take charge of yourself alone, you prefer to follow me, who is to blame for asking for your own hardships?" ”

Siyu jumped to his feet and said angrily: "Senior sister, you really have no conscience, if it weren't for me and Siqing to help you, you would have been tired and lay down." ”

Xin Fei's eyes flashed with gratitude, and she said with a smile: "I know, senior sister, thank you, I will definitely find a good husband for you in the future." ”

"Senior sister." Siyu and Siqing were coquettish around Xinfei, Xinfei hugged the two girls lovingly, but her thoughts flew to Jiang Anyi. Jiang Lang, if I work so hard, I want to make a great contribution to repay the master, and then break away from the dragon guard to stay with you, Jiang Lang, do you know.

At this time, Jiang Anyi was standing in the square in front of the Juyi Hall of Mixed Water Village, listening to the lecture of Zhao Liangcai, the owner of the village, and a test came quietly.
