Chapter 320 - Counting is Counting
Wang Gouzi was beaten so badly for the first time in his life, and it was on the territory of his own family on Da Xie Shu Island, how could he swallow this resentment.
When Wang Baoqing first got the news, he thought he had offended some powerful person, but later he heard that it was someone on Black Mountain Island, but it was strange, since Mao Zhongxin died, there was no big group of pirates on Black Mountain Island, otherwise he would not be able to escape his eyes. Now is there suddenly another big force that dares to attack his Wang family, after careful consideration, he called Wang Gui to explain it carefully.
Black Mountain Island and Da Xie Shu Island are also half a day's voyage, so fishermen and traders from the two places often come and go. But it was said that at noon on the second day after Wang Gouzi was beaten, a small boat approached the pier of the Black Mountain Island, and a small trader carried a load of groceries to the island. I saw him shouting and selling along the side streets, all the way to the tavern at the corner of the T-street, and when he saw that it was noon, he turned and went in.
"Old Liu, has business been good lately?"
The little vendor greeted the shopkeeper when he entered the shop, and it was evident that he was not the first time he had been to the island, and he was familiar with the tavern keeper, but what he did not notice was that the men in the tavern had a few more fresh faces.
"The shopkeeper hasn't been here for a long time, how do you remember coming to the island today?"
The old Liu Tou was enthusiastic, and hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and served it himself.
"Isn't this Black Mountain Island in recent years, and the people on the island don't have much money to spare, so I don't come often!"
After the merchant replied, he suddenly pulled the shopkeeper aside and sat down, and asked in a whisper:
"This time, I heard that there was another pole on the island, and it has a great background, so I came in a hurry, but I don't know if it's true or not?"
"It's the shopkeeper's question, and it's a secret, it's true that I have a new pole, but in my opinion, it doesn't seem to have a big deal, and it looks like a hundred and two hundred people." The old Liu Tou replied cautiously.
"Oh!"
When the merchant heard this, he seemed to believe it, but his mouth opened and he did not say anything.
At this moment, I heard an angry voice from outside the door.
"Old Liu, copy a few dishes for me and serve a pot of good wine."
Then a young man with a few attendants broke in, and they sat down at one of the tables in a rage, and then found the vendor sitting beside him, and asked coldly:
"Who? Why is it so raw? ”
"Don't be in charge, but this person is a merchant, he used to do business on this island, why do you often come to this island, and he is a responsible person."
When Lao Liu asked, he hurriedly replied on the side.
When the young man saw this, he stared at him for a while, and then said fiercely: "Get out of the way, Mo is in front of the young master's eyes." ”
"Go! Go! Get out of the way! ”
Lao Liu Tou replied as he hurriedly sent the vendor to a position in the corner.
In a moment, a table of good food and wine was delivered to the table of the little master, and he picked up the wine glass and dried it several times, then stopped, and then scolded fiercely:
"Straight lady thief, what's so great about that king dog, it's just a housekeeping dog, young master, I beat a dog, and I have to be scolded, this is very reasonable!"
"The young master, the old master is also right, although we have two or three hundred people here, but compared with the Great Xie Shu Island, there is still a big shortcoming, if the Wang family really sends troops over, it is not easy to resist."
I saw a man who looked like a scribe sitting sideways, and persuaded on the side.
"If you're afraid of a bird, if you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will leave, and this open sea is full of people who can't live there on the island."
But the young master did not care, and the scribe persuaded:
"It's not easy to find a good place to stay
is looking for someone to apologize to the Wang family, if it can become natural, peace is precious. ”
"Humph! The old man is old, and he has no backbone at all! ”
The young master snorted coldly, and didn't want to speak anymore, so he just drank the stuffy wine.
The vendor sat in the corner with a stiff look, as if frightened, but his ears were not neglected for a moment, and the conversation was recorded word for word. The moment the arrogant young man entered the door just now, he had already connected him with the young man who was in the wilderness on Da Xie Shu Island yesterday, and he didn't think of the next conversation, which really verified his conjecture. Montenegro has less than three hundred troops! The old boss is very annoyed by his son's reckless behavior! These were the two most important pieces of information he had gotten, and with these two points, the Great Xie Shu Island could be attacked and defended.
After the young master left staggeringly after being full of wine and food, the vendor left in a hurry.
That night, in the Wang family's study on Daxieshu Island, Wang Baoqing and Wang Gui met with the vendor.
"When did we pull the poles of two or three hundred people on this Black Mountain Island, why didn't we get any news, but it's strange."
After Wang Baoqing heard this, he couldn't help muttering.
"I heard that they only came at the end of last year, and the old boss also seems to be a cautious person, so it's not surprising that he didn't hear the news." The vendor responded.
"No matter when he came, this time he will clean it up, and I want to find someone to make peace, hum! Think about it. ”
Wang Gui covered his cheeks, which were still painful, his eyes were round, but his voice was vague.
"On the side of the couch, if you don't allow others to snore, this group of people must be removed, but if he has someone to make peace tomorrow, it is the best, we will respond first, so that they will no longer worry, and their guards will be relaxed, and then we will be able to capture them in one fell swoop."
This Wang Baoqing regards the surrounding islands as his sphere of influence, and it is okay for Mao Zhongxin to be a backer with him a few years ago, but now he does not allow new forces to appear, in fact, this is also the reason why there has been no major banditry on Montenegro Island in recent years.
The next day, the merchant went to Montenegro Island again, and he inadvertently told a rumor in Lao Liutou's tavern, saying that Wang Yuanwai, the village scrivener of Da Xie Shu Island, was very annoyed that the housekeeper in the house was beaten by the people of Montenegro Island, and put down the cruel words, if the other party did not come to apologize again, he would meet with swords.
In the afternoon of the same day, sure enough, a man who looked like a scribe claimed to be an envoy from Black Mountain Island and went to the king's house to ask for an audience.
Wang Baoqing had already received the merchant's report, and knew that the person who had come was true, so he met him in the middle hall. It's just that when I saw that the person who came was extraordinary in appearance and graceful, I was surprised in my heart, when did there be such a character in this bandit, I couldn't help asking:
"What did you do in the first place, and why did you come to Montenegro?"
"It's a shame to say that our head of the family is actually a petty official in Hebei, only because he offended Shangguan and was forced to have nowhere to go, so he took his family and cronies to Montenegro Island.
That's how it came from! When Wang Baoqing heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart, and many unreasonable details also coincided one by one. For example, the boy beat people, but because of the temperament cultivated by his rich son himself; For example, I didn't know about it for half a year on the island, but it was because this person was an official eunuch in Shimono, and his family property was rich and he didn't need to rob to keep the news out. Thinking of this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, such a master has to start, who thinks you have money but no strength?
At that moment, Wang Baoqing accepted the apology from the visitor, and swore that the kid should not be surprised if he was ignorant, just go back with peace of mind, and he would be a good neighbor in the future, and he should move around often.
The scribe was overjoyed when he heard this, and went back with great gratitude.
After that, the merchant went to Black Mountain Island several times, but saw that it was calm and calm, without a trace of tension, and the group seemed to settle down because of the promise of the Wang family.
On this day, the vendor did not know anything
The reason is that he lives on the island, but at night he came to the dock and invited a few men on duty to drink, saying that he often went to the island to cause trouble for a few people. As soon as the soldiers heard that there was wine, they went in a hurry, and there was no one left on the dock.
Then, at the beginning of the night, a ship crept up to the wharf, and a man jumped up and asked the merchant who was standing there:
"How's it going?"
"The few people on duty were all drunk by me, and now they are still sleeping in the tavern, and there is no abnormality on the island, so I asked Steward Wang to hurry up and go to the island."
"My brother has done a great job this time, and the Japanese have given me a reward, and he will definitely invite me to drink."
As he spoke, the man lifted a lantern from the boat and signaled it to the sea.
After half a pillar of incense, I saw eight or nine lines of incense only leaning on the pier. Wang Gouzi jumped off the boat first, he looked at the quiet and silent Black Mountain Island, and said triumphantly:
"My lord will let you people understand tonight that I am not a good match."
Immediately, he gave an order, and hundreds of people behind him rushed towards the island like wolves.
The main street of Montenegro Island is a side street, and then a side street sticks out to the left, forming a side "D" shape. Wang Gouzi led four or five hundred people from the side of the wharf into the side street, and then went straight to the walled fort at the end of the side street, and in only a quarter of an hour hundreds of people disappeared at the crossroads.
At this moment, I saw that the doors on both sides of the street were opened, and a large group of soldiers with spears and armor poured out. The first one holding a double knife was Wu Song, the commander of the eighth battalion, who said excitedly,
"Brothers, this time after all, let's fight for a chance to make a move, everyone cheered me up, tied my pockets tightly, if I let go of a deserter, our eighth battalion will not compete with other battalions for any credit in the future, I don't have the face to mention it."
"Rest assured, battalion commander, look at us!"
The soldiers below were provoked by Wu Song, and they all screamed for a while, and then a hedgehog-like gun array stood up on the street.
Besides, the king and the dog were full of longing to kill the walled fort, and he pointed to the silent gatehouse and said arrogantly:
"Brothers, go! The door was slammed open, and everyone in it had a share. ”
"Straight lady thief, is the door of my house movable by you birds?"
At this moment, there was a thunderous drink from the alley next to him. And this sound was like a signal, and in an instant, countless lanterns and torches lit up around the street.
Then, under the distracted gaze of Wang Gouzi, the two teams fought out from the alleys on both sides of the castle. At the head of the branch on the right is a fierce man with a double axe, who is Li Kui, but I saw that his eyes were like copper bells, his skin was like black charcoal, and he was alive and well with a life-seeking yaksha. The leader on the left is Bao Xu, these two people can't fight these days, and today they have to fight for this goalkeeper task, that is, Shi Wengong and Yang Zaixing can't fight for him, and finally let him succeed.
At this time, the two men led two teams of horizontal sword soldiers, but instead of attacking the enemy group, they killed the enemy along both sides of the street.
"Li Kui's heart is too ruthless, and he doesn't even let the brothers drink a little soup."
Shi Wengong had no fight tonight, he stood on the gatehouse with Gu Haotian and others, looking at the playing style of Li Kui and Bao Xu, and couldn't help but quip.
At this time, everyone also saw Li Kui's thoughts, this guy wants to make dumplings! I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.
At this time, Li Kui and Bao Xu had outflanked most of the 500 people of the Wang family.
"Hey, hey! After all, tonight will make the master happy, brothers knife! Slash! ”
I saw Li Kui's order, and the crowd in the encirclement quickly lost a layer of weight.
"Step on! Splitting ......"
However, before Li Kui's second command was issued, a voice came from the city tower, which immediately made him depressed.
