Chapter 160 What is a Ferry Ticket?

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.

Gu Jixuan and others were trapped in an urn, and they were about to be destroyed, so Echu did not order martial law in Suzhou City, and when Wu Qiang threatened Guo Zhili, Echu would not have time to issue martial law.

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. Since Wu Qiang made trouble in Suzhou, the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to know Wu Qiang's real name, and once used the name of Dai Di to distribute official documents for sea fishing in the world, and even Kangxi has been using this name when communicating with ministers.

It wasn't until Wu Qiang's identity was exposed later that there was an English missionary who served Kangxi in Ouchi who was more proficient in Chinese, and when he saw that Wu Qiang's previous pseudonym was strange, he found the hidden mystery after pondering it, and reported this discovery to Kangxi.

At that time, in order to learn more about the situation in the West, Kangxi also learned a little English at the scene, and immediately understood the meaning of the name Deti. Think about yourself and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who has called a thief for so long for his father, and he is so depressed that he is about to vomit blood. As a result, Echu was unlucky, and was called over by Kangxi and scolded, not only reprimanding him for having no eyes, but also punishing him for a year.

The topic turned back again, Wu Qiang had just taken advantage of Echu and others, and he was in a good mood, he had already decided that there would be no good end anyway, and it was a little bit to be able to take advantage of a little more, not to take advantage of nothing, but Guo Zhili made him unhappy.

When he was first held hostage, because he had been pampered since he was a child, and in the face of threats to his life, Guo Zhili was so frightened that he almost urinated. When this strength passed, Wu Qiang and Echu confronted each other for a while, and he heard from Wu Qiang's words that it seemed that Wu Qiang did not mean to kill him, so his courage gradually grew.

Guo Zhili's anger came out, and seeing that the conversation between Wu Qiang and Er Chu was a little grinding, he said impatiently to Wu Qiang: "You bastard thief, quickly release this son, so as to give yourself a chance to atone for your sins, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried." ”

In fact, Wu Qiang knew that he was probably more than lucky today, and he had already regarded Guo Zhili as the first to cushion his back, who knew that this guy had no consciousness at all, and he dared to be arrogant at this time and play the prestige of the second ancestor.

In later generations, Wu Qiang hated all kinds of second generations, and also had some contradictions and conflicts with several people, but he had no power and power, lacked background support, and finally ended in failure. Unexpectedly, a fish on the chopping board dared to give him a look today, and he suddenly became more and more angry.

"What's your name?" After taking hostages for so long, Wu Qiang has never communicated with the other party, and he really doesn't know the other party's name.

"Listen, my son's name is Guo Zhili." Guo Zhili has read books for a few days, and he has always regarded himself as a literati, and he is not proud of the identity of the chief soldier.

"What? Your name is a civet cat? ”

Although Guo Zhili didn't know what a civet cat was, Wu Qiang's wrong pronunciation made him very uncomfortable, so he corrected him with some annoyance: "You bastard, listen well, my son's name is Guo Zhili, not Guozi......"

"Oops......" Before Guo Zhili finished speaking, he was slapped loudly by Wu Qiang.

"What's it called? You are not a civet cat, who is a civet cat? Why don't you call it a civet cat? After Wu Qiang finished speaking, he raised his hand and gave Guo Zhili another slap.

"Bastard, you dare to hit this son......"

"Lao Tzu beat you, today I have to beat you from a civet cat to a grass otter." Wu Qiang rounded his arm and opened his bow left and right at Guo Zhili.

Guo Zhili had a short sword across his neck, and he didn't dare to act rashly, and at this time he finally realized that he was still a hostage whose life was in danger at any time, so he could only cry and beg Wu Qiang for mercy.

"Look at the broken name your father gave you, and the civet cat, why don't you call it a pangolin? Why don't you call it a Dutch mouse? Why don't you call it Little Fragrant Pig? Why don't you call it a weasel? ......" Wu Qiang slapped every time he asked.

There are some animal names Guo Zhili has never heard of at all, and he was beaten by Wu Qiang so that his nose and mouth were bleeding, and he was dizzy, so he had to answer randomly: "Don't fight, I'm a pangolin, I'm a Dutch mouse, I'm a little fragrant pig, I'm a weasel, don't fight, woo woo......"

"Hey, what are you doing? Stop it...... "The conversation just now was relatively harmonious, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Qiang actually slapped Guo Zhili like a storm without warning, and waited for Chu to react, but he didn't dare to step forward, for fear of forcing Wu Qiang to jump over the wall and hurt Guo Zhili's life, so he had to stand in place and shout loudly.

The other people present also reacted at this time, and they also followed Echu to Wu Qiang to stop together, Wu Qiang seemed to give everyone a lot of face, and sure enough, he stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was true or not, they still didn't want Wu Qiang to beat Guo Zhili violently.

At this time, there was a sparse sound of firecrackers in the distance, which was not too noticeable in the chaotic city of Suzhou.

After Wu Qiang withdrew, he also comforted Guo Zhili with kind words: "Okay, okay, if you don't fight, you won't fight, your pain will be relieved soon." ”

"It's not good, go and stop him......" Echu's perennial career made him very sensitive to the killing intent emitted by the human body, and he inadvertently saw a trace of murderous intent flashing in Wu Qiang's eyes, and hurriedly issued an order to his subordinates, and at the same time he also rushed directly at Wu Qiang.

"It's all over." A awe-inspiring sneer floated at the corner of Wu Qiang's mouth, and with a slight stroke of the short sword in his hand, Guo Zhili was cut by the short sword in front of his neck, Wu Qiang did not stop, threw the short sword out, and then lifted Guo Zhili's body and threw it out.

Echu's figure was still in mid-air, and he suddenly found two things flying, barely dodging the short sword that came first, but he was powerless to avoid Guo Zhili's body. He and Guo Zhili's bodies collided together, and Guo Zhili, who had not yet breathed after landing on the ground, was close to his face.

Guo Zhili pressed his neck and couldn't speak, his eyes were full of despair, fear, sadness, unwillingness, and the expression before his death was deeply imprinted in Echu's mind, and he couldn't forget it until the last moment of his life.

Because E Chu was pressed under Guo Zhili, this delay lost the opportunity. In the previous fight, Wu Qiang knew that once he was in close combat, he was by no means Echu's opponent, and when the short sword and Guo Zhili were thrown out, he ran directly to the window.

The three Goshha guards rushed in a zigzag face-on, ready to be injured by a heavy blow, but they also rushed up to hug Wu Qiang. The three Goshha guards are all elites from the forward battalion, and they are extremely strong, even if they are strong in martial arts, once they are embraced, they will never want to get out.

Wu Qiang was not afraid, he still rushed towards the three of them, and the three of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, if they could capture this person, it would be a great achievement.

The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny. Just as the hands of the three were about to touch Wu Qiang, Wu Qiang jumped up high and jumped over the heads of the three with a beautiful and flowing front flip. (To be continued.) )
