Chapter 1029: Night Attack
The night was quiet, and in the cave, Jiang Mantian always felt restless all night.
Haifeng Island already existed before the previous dynasty perished, when the four major families were rampant in the East China Sea, and even the previous dynasty had a very weak control over the East China Sea.
Compared with the Gyeonggi region and other economically developed regions, the East China Sea has always been a neglected remote area.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, this has always been the family motto of the Donghai Jiang family.
As early as when the Han family was still the king of the East China Sea, the Jiang family had secretly built an underground warehouse on Haifeng Island, which cost a lot of money, and what was even more terrifying was that in order to ensure the secrecy of this island, the Jiang family secretly bought a large number of prisoners from the prison to build here, and after it was completed, all the prisoners were slaughtered, and every inch of the Jiang family's secret warehouse was soaked with blood.
Being in the mountain, although the place where Jiang Mantian lived was very luxurious, the chill in the mountain still made Jiang Mantian feel uncomfortable.
He turned over and sat up, walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and then walked to the bronze mirror in the corner of the room, looked at himself in the mirror, there were already a few strands of gray hair on his sideburns, and Jiang Mantian frowned slightly.
Shen Liangqiu's death, he looked very calm, but the shock in his heart would never let outsiders know.
He has always been cautious and cautious in his work, and he has been planning painstakingly for many years, just waiting for the Northern Expedition of the Chu Army, and the opportunity that the Jiang family has been waiting for for many years will come, but who would have thought that at the last moment before dawn, Shen Liangqiu fell down violently, and the plan he had planned for many years collapsed in an instant, his eyes were cold, and he had already thought of Qi Ning in his mind at this time, and Qi Ning was like a dark cloud hanging over his heart.
It was precisely because after evaluating Shen Liangqiu, I believed that Shen Liangqiu had more than seventy percent chance of passing this hurdle, that he took a gamble, for him, there are not many times to gamble in his life, but this time the situation forced him to gamble, but the solution was a failure, he really couldn't believe that in a short period of time, Qi Ning was able to make Shen Liangqiu's conspiracy clear, and he admitted that he still underestimated that Jinyi Hou after all.
The day before yesterday, he landed on Haifeng Island, yesterday there was no movement on the side of the sailor, only the main warships sent to chase the Jiang family's fleet, he believed that under his own planning, Jiang Yishui would be able to get rid of the pursuit of the East China Sea division very easily, but to make up for the loss of Shen Liangqiu's downfall, it would take a lot of energy and thought, Jiang Mantian sighed lightly, only felt that people were not as good as heaven, even if they planned carefully, there would always be variables at some critical times.
If Shen Liangqiu didn't covet Mrs. Tangtai's beauty and hooked up with Mrs. Shantai, Shen Liangqiu wouldn't have to rush to attack Shentai Zhilin, if Shentai Zhilin's adultery with Shen Liangqiu and Mrs. Shantai was known a few months later, everything would have gone according to the original plan, if the imperial court sent other officials, Shen Liangqiu might be able to get through this pass safely and bury the body of Shantai Zhilin smoothly.
As long as one of these factors appears, the situation will not be the way it is now, but just the unfavorable factors all appear at the same time, and Jiang Mantian can only sigh to himself.
All he could do now was wait.
For so many years, he has planned everything in an orderly manner, and everything is in his hands, but this setback has made him lose the initiative, and in the current situation, he can only wait for Qi Ning to leave.
As long as Qi Ning stayed in the East China Sea, the East China Sea was full of dangers, and he did not dare to carry out the next plan easily.
The lone lamp on the table stretched Jiang Mantian's shadow, Jiang Mantian sighed lightly, and got up, he knew that it was just over now, it was still early before dawn, and he had to rest and recuperate.
Only by maintaining enough physical strength and energy can we make it possible to reach the end in this struggle.
He walked to the side of the bed and was about to force himself to sleep for another hour, but suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside, Jiang Mantian was very flustered when he heard the footsteps, and faintly felt that something was wrong, and at this time there was already a voice outside the door: "Master, big ..... It's a big deal.....! ”
Jiang Mantian's heart sank, he quickly walked to the door, opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man outside carrying a big knife in his hand, panting breathlessly, and there were blood stains on his clothes.
Jiang Mantian's expression changed greatly: "What's wrong?" ”
"Sir, a bunch of ..... A group of pirates came out of nowhere and suddenly killed them. The man's face was full of horror: "Our people can't resist it at all, and ..... And as soon as those minions saw the pirates, they were all captured, and there was no ..... to resist at all! At this moment, there was a messy footstep sound in the stone road, the man immediately clenched the knife, and several people ran over from the stone road, all of them were holding big knives, and when they saw Jiang Mantian, they all shouted: "Master, hurry up, they are about to kill here." ”
After Jiang Mantian escaped from the dock, Ling Jiang Yishui led the fleet to continue to march in the direction of the South Seas, luring away the East China Sea Division, while he brought more than a dozen guards who had been raised for many years to land on Haifeng Island.
These people are all guards who landed on the island with Jiang Mantian, seeing that these guards are all covered with blood, obviously they have all fought with people, at this time faintly heard the sound of killing, Jiang Mantian couldn't judge where the killing came from, it seemed that there were killing sounds everywhere in all directions.
His face turned pale, and his body shook.
The head of the richest family in the East China Sea has always been calm and calm in front of people, so that everyone who has seen him has to admit that the head of the Jiang family has the courage to collapse Mount Tai in front of him and his face will not change, but at this time, Jiang Mantian's face has never been more frightened, and he muttered: "How is it possible, how can this be ......!" ”
"Master, it's too late, they're going to kill them soon." The middle-aged guard had already grabbed Jiang Mantian's arm: "Let's escort the old man out of here, Sun Jiu, where is the ship we landed on the island?" Lead the way ahead, let's hurry over .....! ”
Although those guards were frightened, they were also well-trained, and they were not too flustered, and they were clustered around Jiang Mantian, and they wanted to escort Jiang Mantian away.
Jiang Mantian shook violently and said angrily: "What are you doing? You said that the pirates came to the island, it's ..... It's just nonsense. ”
"Master, how dare the little ones talk nonsense, listen carefully, they are getting closer and closer to here." The middle-aged man said urgently.
The sound of killing is coming one after another, and it is indeed approaching.
"How many pirates are there?" Jiang Mantian couldn't help but ask.
Several people looked at each other, all shook their heads, and the matter started in a hurry, Haifeng Island, which was originally an impregnable wall, was killed by a group of pirates overnight, and the entire Haifeng Island was already in chaos, how many people there were, and it was not clear who it was, the middle-aged man said: "Master, there are definitely a lot of pirates who have been killed, and they are all very fierce, and they can no longer stay here." ”
"Where are the ghost kings?" Jiang Mantian calmed down at this time: "Don't worry, the ghost king's martial arts are very good, and the martial arts of the master of Lu Zhuang are also extremely high, and there are organs in each stone path, although there are many bandits, they may not be .....!" ”
"Master Hou, it's not just a bandit." The middle-aged man looked grim, and said with a bitter face: "The little one saw the officers and soldiers just now, and the sailors of the East China Sea Division were mixed among the bandits. ”
"You mean that the bandits are mixed up with the East China Sea Division?" Jiang Mantian only felt incredible, as if he was in a dream: "How can the pirates be with the sailor?" This..... What the hell is going on.....! Although he was level-headed, his mind was in chaos at this time, and he couldn't figure out why this situation was happening.
"Master, I killed an East China Sea soldier with my own hands." The middle-aged man said: "They did collude together, and those pirates obeyed the orders of the sailors.....!" ”
"There's someone there." Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he heard a shout not far away, and several figures suddenly appeared on the side of the stone road, Jiang Mantian looked over, only to see that five or six fierce pirates had rushed over to this side, waving big knives in their hands, and they were all shouting: "Take the head and get the reward." ”
Jiang Mantian's guards also reacted quickly, and one of them said loudly: "Kong Sheng hurry up and protect the master to leave, and we will resist it." With a loud shout, he swung his sword forward, and two more guards killed him behind him.
The middle-aged man Kong Sheng didn't hesitate anymore, dragged Jiang Mantian and ran, and the other two guards followed behind Jiang Mantian to guard the back of the palace.
Jiang Mantian staggered and followed Kong Sheng to the other end of the stone road, they were very familiar with the path here, walked to the corner, immediately turned left, and before they could run far, they heard the sound of killing in front of them, so they had no choice but to quickly turn around and run to the other side.
The three guards guarded Jiang Mantian in the spider web-like stone road turned east and west, from time to time encountered a group of pirates appeared in front, a few people could only turn around and run, every time the bandits appeared, it was a group of bandits, not to mention there were as many as seven or eight people, and there were dozens of people, Jiang Mantian's guards under the hands of these guards were not weak, and they might not fall behind if they were about to fight to fight, but several people knew that as long as they were entangled by a group of bandits, other bandits would support them when they heard the movement, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to leave at that time.
Fortunately, Jiang Mantian is very familiar with the path inside, although the group of bandits killed in, but the road inside is far less familiar than Jiang Mantian, several people under the command of Jiang Mantian, avoiding several groups of people, finally ran to a stone gate, opened the stone door, and after entering, quickly pressed the mechanism to close the stone door, at this time, including Jiang Mantian, his face was already very ugly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Running down this way, it actually made a few people feel that Haifeng Island was full of bandits and officers and soldiers, this was originally Jiang Mantian's territory, and he was a well-deserved master, but Fang Cai's desperate escape was like breaking into someone else's territory and being chased and killed, and he instantly became an anti-master.
Jiang Mantian usually fights boxing, and his physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but this time he ran away, he was already out of breath, and when the stone gate fell, he waved his hand and said, "First.... Stop for a moment, here.... They can't come in here, so wait and see..... See how the ghost kings deal with .....! ”
Several guards thought in their hearts, looking at the current form, it is obvious that the East China Sea Division has joined forces with the sea bandits to clear Haifeng Island, and the other party is outnumbered, even if the ghost king is good at martial arts, but in the current situation, it is impossible to reverse the situation, Jiang Mantian still expects the ghost king to turn the tables, it is simply wishful thinking.
