The straight-line distance between Xu Tai Bridge and Jiuxiangju is not far, because it is separated by one street and two rivers, and it takes some long way to cross the bridge, and it is a little more direct to take a boat, in short, it takes a lot of trouble to come.

In the main hall of this house, there are some people sitting on the left and right sides, and there are also some people in the courtyard, lazily distributed in various corners.

As the officiant of Chen Qiliang and Yu Qingyan, after the banquet began, Qiu Hai just drank a few glasses of wine with others, then found an excuse to leave, and then came to the secret secret stake of this thick earth altar, and called some leaders who could be present over.

There are many people here who have been called from the wedding banquet, the living space of the Heaven and Earth Society has been squeezed by the government, and the life has always been relatively hard, and it is rare to have a big meal, and suddenly being called back naturally has a little resentment in their hearts.

Qiu Hai saw that the personnel were almost there, so he cleared his throat and said: "The Lord of this incense has asked you to be here today, there is a major matter to discuss with you, which is related to the future and fate of our Houtu Altar, so the Lord of this incense also listens to everyone's opinions. ”

"Lord Incense, it's up to you to make the decision, we all listen to your ......"

There was a commotion at the bottom, but basically it was the same argument, those who were loyal to Qiu Hai naturally expressed their support, those who had always disagreed with Qiu Hai watched coldly, and those who were grass on the wall followed suit.

Ma Yuanbin said loudly: "Master Xiang, you better tell me what is the matter first, I can wait to make an idea, right?" "He is the West Pavilion of the Torture Hall of the Thick Earth Altar, because of his strict law enforcement and iron-faced selflessness, he has offended many people, and he is not treated well by Qiu Hai.

Qiu Hai pressed his hands down, signaled everyone to be quiet, and waited for the voice in the field to be quiet, and then spoke: "Since the Ma Xingtang has spoken, the Lord of Benxiang will also talk about today's matter, everyone here has joined our Heaven and Earth Society Thick Earth Altar for some years, which is not to watch the brothers around us change batch after batch, we are really lucky to live to this day." This kind of day is tired of the incense master, I'm afraid that many of you here are tired of it, therefore, the incense lord wants to arrange a good future for everyone, I don't know what you think? ”

"We should obey the orders of the Lord of Incense."

"We swear to follow the incense lord to the death, and there is no second heart in the sword mountain and the sea of fire."

"Master of incense, can't, are we going to break up in the thick earth altar?"

Some of the people present were happy, some were panicked, some were dazed, and so on. Heaven and Earth will be a microcosm of the world of red dust, some people use it for revenge, some people use it to make a living, some people use it to support their families, and some people use it to speculate to win personal gains.

At this time, Chu Zhiyong said in a loud voice: "Don't make noise, everyone, listen to what the incense master says." As the third person in the Thick Earth Altar, he was still very authoritative, and everyone quickly quieted down.

Qiu Hai said with a straight face: "In this case, let's open the skylight and say bright words, some time ago, after deep introspection, the lord of this incense woke up, and decided to submit to the court." ”

"Submit to the court?"

"Lao Tzu didn't agree."

"We are anti-thieves, can the court let us go?"

Qiu Hai's words were like a thunderclap, and the ears of the people present exploded.

The people who can join the Heaven and Earth Society basically have a bitter hatred with the government and the imperial court, otherwise few people are willing to do such a high-risk profession. But there are staunch revolutionaries, weak-willed soft-boggards, and right-wavering centrists.

Under the high pressure for many years, the blood-colored terror is shrouded, even the strong-willed are prone to wavering and retreating, let alone those soft eggs? The last question raised by the person was also the voice of many people present.

Qiu Hai said again: "After the negotiation between the master of this incense and the secret envoy of the imperial court, the imperial court has made a promise, as long as you are sincerely obedient, the imperial court will not blame the past and pardon all of them. ”

"Qiu Hai, you actually betrayed the Heaven and Earth Society?"

"You have taken refuge in the imperial court, what qualifications do you have to be the owner of this incense?"

"Killed this lackey of the court."

The pot was fried again, and the crowd was furious, and many people pointed at Qiu Hai and scolded, and even spit stars were about to splash on Qiu Hai's face.

The smile on Qiu Hai's face was put away, and he said to everyone coldly: "The Lord of this incense is very busy, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, now the Lord of this incense only says once, those who are willing to follow the Lord of this incense stand on the left, and those who are unwilling stand on the right." ”

Many people saw Qiu Hai's awe-inspiring murderous aura on his face, and the scene that was still surging just now instantly cooled down, many people stood in place and began to hesitate, and slowly someone stood to the left, and then there were followers, and the number was still increasing.

When the number of people on the left increased slowly, Qiu Hai suddenly ordered: "The brothers standing on the left listen to the order, and whoever does not obey the order will be killed." ”

Everyone present was stunned, they didn't expect Qiu Hai to not remember the past feelings, and ordered to kill people without saying a word.

"Ah......" The person who reacted quickly made the first move.

There is the first to do it, there is the second to do it, and there are more and more people who do it next, whether you are willing to do it or not, when you encounter others to be ruthless to you, I believe that few people are willing to sit still.

Due to the variety of clothes worn by everyone, there is no unified mark, and after the chaos is mixed together, it is difficult to distinguish which camp the other party is in a short time, and there are often cannibalisms, which makes everyone on the scene endanger.

Chen Zhonghe, who was covered in blood, stopped in front of Ma Yuanbin and Chu Zhiyong, and said forcefully: "Brother Ma, Brother Chu, it seems that this is Qiu Hai's deliberate plan, you go quickly, I can't do it, brother, so I will stay behind you." ”

Zhongtang League testified that Chen Zhonghe was a staunch anti-Qing righteous man, as the No. 2 person in the Houtu Altar, he had always had many discords with Qiu Hai, and today he heard that Qiu Hai was going to return to the imperial court, and he should stand up against it. is in a high position in the Zhongtang Alliance, and he is Qiu Hai's opponent, so he has naturally attracted attention. After a fierce battle, he was stabbed five times in the body with a dagger, and if it weren't for the desperate protection of his loyal followers, he would have died on the spot.

Ma Yuanbin shouted: "Chen Zhongtang, all brothers, if you want to die, you will die together, today you have to kill Qiu Hai, the anti-bone boy." ”

Chu Zhiyong also followed: "Chen Zhongtang, we still have many brothers in other places, my brothers and I will protect you to kill you, let's kill them back after regrouping the people and horses, and capture Qiu Hai alive, we have to light him with a sky lantern." ”

Chen Zhonghe's face became more and more pale, he shook his head and said: "Qiu Hai must have come prepared, I know him too well, he has always planned and then moved, if you can escape today, it will be a fluke, while I can still support him for a while, I will drag him down, you go quickly, keep a little incense for our thick earth altar, and you must avenge me in the future." ”

The two wanted to say something more, but found that a group of people broke into the courtyard, almost a sturdy man, each with a strip of white cloth tied around his left arm, holding a machete.

"Don't be verbose, go, don't let me die in vain......"

When Ma Yuanbin and Chu Zhiyong hesitated, Chen Zhonghe pushed the two away, and after leaving these words, he rushed towards those sturdy men.

The two of them suddenly burst into tears, and Chu Zhiyong gritted his teeth with tears and pulled Ma Yuanbin up and rushed out to kill. Under the desperate protection of his subordinates, and then paying a heavy price, the two finally broke out of the encirclement.

When the sturdy men entered the battle, they were unstoppable and unstoppable, and soon the battle came to an end. When the last man fell, some calm finally returned to the mansion.

Looking at the messy corpses all over the ground and the wounded who were wailing and rolling, Qiu Hai couldn't help but be angry and frightened, angry and afraid.

Qiu Hai even wondered if the other party was using this method to beat him, in the case just now, the other party could have taken advantage of the chaos to kill him, and he could have an excuse to push it all away afterwards, probably thinking that he was still a little useful, so he didn't do it.

Qiu Hai said to the Tsing Yi man who walked into the courtyard later: "Lord Ye's subordinates are really elite in a hundred battles, sixty people killed more than 100 people, and only seven of them were killed or wounded, which is very admirable." He still tactfully expressed his dissatisfaction.

Ye Zi smiled and said, "You don't have to feel distressed, this time the general made a statement, saying that he would allow you to have a capital." ”

Qiu Hai's previous face was suddenly swept away, and he said happily: "Then I will thank the general first." ”

"You can get the position of this capital division, and Ye Zi has also made a lot of efforts."

Qiu Hai said with a very eye-catching expression: "Lord Ye Zi rest assured, I will definitely thank you in the next place, and I will never let Lord Ye Zi help in vain." ”

Ye Zi pursed his lips and said, "You can also say it with your mouth, how heavy your thanks are, and Ye Zi didn't see it." ”

Qiu Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Ye Zi wants to see how heavy, just open your mouth, just do it." ”

Ye Zi said very casually: "Then you come with me, let me feel your gratitude." With that, he walked inside the house.

Qiu Hai followed behind Ye Zi and said with a bitter face: "Lord Ye Zi, the general is clearing out the anti-thieves, and after the matter passes, whatever Lord Ye Zi wants, you can do it below." ”

Ye Zi said disapprerovingly: "Just a few anti-thieves, the general can be destroyed at will, why do you need to worry?" ”

Qiu Hai reluctantly followed Ye Zi into the house, in the days when Ye Zi left, Qiu Hai felt that the blue sky was so clear and the sun was so bright, but when Ye Zi came back, he suddenly felt that his life was dark.

In the house, Qiu Hai was violently pushed down on the bed by Ye Zi, savagely stripped naked, pressed heavily under him, and ravaged rudely.

Qiu Hai grabbed the sheets on both sides with both hands, and couldn't help but think in his mind about the women he ravaged at the beginning, whether they were also as sad and humiliated as he is now.
