Chapter 106: Getting Acquainted with the Little Kitchen Knife
Today's encirclement and suppression of the Heaven and Earth Society, Echu's strategy is to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, the original intention is to paralyze the Heaven and Earth Society to relax its vigilance, so the guards of each city gate are the same as in the past, but some more elite soldiers are arranged.
When Gu Jixuan and the others were trapped into a turtle in an urn, seeing that they were about to be destroyed, Echu did not order martial law in Suzhou City, and when Wu Qiang threatened Guo Zhili, Echu would not have time to issue a martial law order in the future.
It wasn't until Wu Qiang killed Guo Zhili and started parkour in Suzhou City that E Chu remembered to block the various city gates in Suzhou, but Gu Jixuan and others took the opportunity to easily kill the Xumen of Suzhou City, but Wu Qiang became the turtle in the urn.
Of course, Wu Qiang is not alone, and he is trapped in Suzhou City with Ling Yuqiang and Yang Yi, as well as Xiao Caizhi and one of his captains who operates a boat. They weren't worried about this, the four of them were all quite good at the water, and they took advantage of the chaos to dive out of the city by a river.
The area where Wu Qiang jumped into the moat was also in Xumen, he had no purpose at all, and he was guided by Ling Yuqiang and others.
After falling into the water, Wu Qiang first broke the arrow on his thigh, leaving the arrow in his body. He didn't dare to pull out the arrow now, if he couldn't stop the bleeding in time, I'm afraid he didn't need to chase and kill the Qing soldiers, just bleeding was enough to be fatal, after all, how much blood can a person shed?
Xu Gate is located in the south of Wannian Bridge in the west of Suzhou City, as an east-west direction, one of the ancient gates opened by the Spring and Autumn Wu Kingdom when building the capital, and it is named after the Guxu Mountain (that is, Gusu Mountain) from afar. "Suzhou Mansion Chronicles" cloud: Xumen, Ximen also, in the south of Changmen, a Guxu Gate. The ancient city gates of Suzhou are all water and land side by side, but the Xu Gate is to prevent the flood of Taihu Lake from entering the city, and there is no water gate after the Song and Yuan dynasties.
The earliest establishment of Suzhou City is a great contribution of Wu Zixu. In that year, Wu Zixu led the personnel, worked tirelessly, tasted the soil and water, like heaven and law, and built a big city with a circumference of 47 miles and an inner city with a circumference of 10 miles.
The people of Suzhou did not forget this brave and wise man, so they called this city gate that had a deep relationship with him as Xu Gate. There is also such a legend, saying that Wu Wangfu trusted the traitorous ministers, did not listen to Wu Zixu's advice, and forced Wu Zixu to commit suicide, and Wu Zixu's head was hung on the city gate to show the public after his death, so this city gate was called Xu Gate.
Wu Qiang just took a breath, and took the opportunity to see a drainage river next to the moat, so he hurriedly dive and swam away. This is to prevent the Qing soldiers at the head of the city from throwing javelins, and once they are caught by any lucky ghost, they will lose their lives.
During the dive, he had already stripped himself off at the bottom of the water to only a pair of underwear and a pair of shoes. Anyone who can swim knows that there is no small resistance in the water with a naked body, let alone wearing clothes? It's just that he really doesn't want to throw away these running shoes.
When the Qing soldiers in Suzhou City opened the city gate in a hurry, they lost the trace of Wu Qiang, because Wu Qiang's lung capacity was huge, and after falling into the moat, he only took a breath and was in a dive, and the Qing soldiers naturally lost his whereabouts.
There was no need for the official's order, the Qing soldiers immediately searched everywhere, and the surrounding people also suffered, not to mention the Qing soldiers, when the ancient army harassed the people, they had to do some stealing chickens and dogs, and taking sheep by the hand.
After entering the drainage river, the water surface of the river gradually widened, Wu Qiang came out under a bridge to change his breath, the wound soaked in the river water, and repeatedly parkour in Suzhou City, he felt that his physical strength was overdrawn and close to the limit.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of water splashing not far behind him, Wu Qiang looked back vigilantly, and found a dexterous figure like a fish rushing towards him, he was about to attack, but he felt that his body was weak and his heart was weak.
At the moment when he was caught, Wu Qiang's eyes floated in front of him when he saw the tragic scene of the horse widow in Qingpu, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, is this his ultimate fate? It's just that when he saw two more heads floating in the water one after another, it turned out to be Ling Yuqiang and Yang Yi respectively, he was surprised and delighted, and finally couldn't support it, and lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of him.
When Wu Qiang opened his eyes, he found that Ling Yuqiang and Yang Yi were both waiting by his side, and based on the slight tremors coming from under his body, he guessed that he was on the boat at the moment, and the two of them were very happy to find that Wu Qiang had woken up.
"Have all the people of the Heaven and Earth Society escaped?" This was the first thing Wu Qiang asked when he woke up.
Ling Yuqiang replied: "One of the people you rescued fell, and all of them ran out, including Miss Yu and Jiang Fang. Knowing that he cared about the second daughter, Ling Yuqiang mentioned the second daughter by the way.
"Where are they?" Wu Qiang looked through the gap in the canopy and found that there were no ships around.
"If people are all together, the target is too conspicuous, and they have been notified that those people are one step ahead."
"Where are we now?"
"The section of water that is navigating now is called the Xu River."
Wu Qiang was illiterate in history and geography, so he had to ask again: "Where are you going to go?" ”
"This time the matter is too big, let's go to Taihu Lake Jiaoshan Cottage to avoid the limelight first."
At this time, Xiao Caizhi came in from outside, probably because he heard Wu Qiang waking up, and after coming in, he said with great admiration for Wu Qiang: "This brother Tai is really handsome and lightweight." ”
Seeing this, Ling Yuqiang hurriedly introduced Wu Qiang: "This is the young master of Taihu Jiaoshan Water Village, Xiao Cai ......" He remembered that Xiao Cai's name was rather strange, and it was easy to offend people if he didn't introduce it well, so he couldn't say it.
Xiao Caidao didn't mind, so he took it and hugged his head and said, "In Xia Xiao Cai, I've seen Brother Wu." ”
"Kitchen knives?" This is not Wu Qiang's intention, Xiao Caizhi's Wu Nong accent said it, and this is the tone.
Probably because he has experienced a lot of such things, Xiao Caizhi admired Wu Qiang more, so he patiently explained: "Brother Wu is called wrong, and his name is Xiao Caidao, which means that the source of wealth is to the Xiao family, not a small kitchen knife." ”
"Xiao Cai? That sounds pretty good. Although Wu Qiang's Mandarin has a bit of a northeast accent, it doesn't sound like a small kitchen knife, and he doesn't mean to embarrass others, "However, it's really easy to call it a small kitchen knife, please forgive Brother Xiao." ”
"It's easy to say, the name under it does have such a homonym, Brother Wu is an unintentional move, don't mind." Xiao Caizhi originally admired Wu Qiang, and his perception was naturally not bad, and Wu Qiang did not show a joking attitude, so he had a better impression of Wu Qiang.
Next, Xiao Cai did not hesitate to praise and flatter, there are few people in the world who don't like to be patted on the back, but if they listen to a lot of good words, they will become boiled water that has lost its taste.
Wu Qiang had no choice but to interrupt Xiao Cai's words and asked him about some of the Taihu Lake Jiaoshan Fortress. (To be continued.) )
