The sky was covered with dark clouds, and even though the ground was covered with snow, only a vague shadow could still be seen.

From time to time, there are orange lights flickering in the distance, I don't know which pavilion it is, but it is particularly eye-catching in this dark night sky.

The group was bated for breath.

They were covered in tight-fitting black clothes, and even their faces were tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes, as if they wanted to completely dissolve into the night; Everyone wore a tight belt around their waists, and there were small objects hanging on it, some were short knives, some were quivers, some were dart bags, some were medicine bags, some were short-handled throwing axes, and several people had small ceramic jars hanging from their waists, which were known to be fierce fire oil without asking; On the back, there are a dazzling array of huge bows that are half a human high, there are long bird guns, there are crossbows that have not yet been wound, and more people carry on their backs, which are more than three feet long and more common in the Wa Kingdom.

The first one was He Jianxin, whose sword was four feet long, with branches and branches on his back, and from time to time he drew clouds of snow mist on the snowdrifts on the side of the road.

Twenty-two men, armed to the teeth by the standards of this era, lined up in a column, meandered through the snowy night like a giant centipede.

Nagasaki was familiar to them, and they quickly approached their destination, the small side courtyard of the Hikaze Pavilion.

Squatting in the grove a hundred paces away from the small courtyard, the sturdy pirates began to prepare, and the great bows and crossbows were gently wound; The long bird's guns were filled with medicine, compacted with lead pellets, and the fire rope was lit, and covered with a black cloth bag, so as not to expose the fire; The snow bright knife was withdrawn, and the scabbard and things that were not needed on the body were abandoned, so as not to affect the movement.

This is a group of old pirates, accustomed to killing people and stealing goods, and there are at least three or more lives on their hands, so there is no noise in the whole preparation process, except for the faint sound of tooth-aching friction when the knife is drawn out of the sheath.

"Mao San'er, you, you, and you, follow me," After cleaning up, He Jianxin whispered a few people, "Follow me after you go in, we are responsible for finding the aunt, nothing else." ”

After speaking, he stared at Chen Liuzi beside him, "Sixth brother, you can take the rest of the people, just one goal - find that dog day Xiucai and kill him!" ”

Chen Liuzi nodded lightly, turned around and assigned people.

Looking at the dark shadow of the side courtyard in front of him, He Jianxin's eyes flashed with a fanatical and cruel light, and he had only one voice in his heart at the moment, "My aunt is mine!" Don't give the to snatch it! ”

With Chen Liuzi gently waving his hand, 22 black figures jumped out of the grove like cats, hunched over and walked forward, and soon came to the silent corner of the side courtyard.

In the darkness, the fire fold was shaken, and the thick fuse on the fierce fire oil tank was ignited, and in the light sound of "snort", three points of light rose from the corner of the wall and fell sharply towards the courtyard.

"Boom, boom!"

The muffled sound of clay pots exploding immediately sounded in the courtyard.

"Up!"

He Jianxin shouted, and with a wave of his hand, the sharp steel claws shot out and flew behind the wall.

After a crisp sound, 22 sturdy figures flew up the wall without hindrance!

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Just when He Jianxin was preparing to kill, on Tsubaki Island, more than 1,000 miles northwest of Nagasaki, at the foot of Fanyue Mountain, not far from the sea, a Chinese-style courtyard with sturdy watchtowers at the four corners was brilliantly lit.

A feast is being held here, and thick fish-oil candles fill the walls, illuminating the wide main hall as if it were daylight; The servants brought wine and dishes to the tables like water, although they were just ordinary dishes, but the portions were extraordinarily sufficient, and just by looking at the large bowls used to fill the dishes, you could see that the people who ate were bold people; There were eight tables in the hall, and from time to time there was the sound of shouting and drinking, laughter and fighting, all of which were Minyin.

There were seven people sitting at the main table, but all of them had solemn faces, as if they were completely unaffected by the warm atmosphere in the hall.

It can be seen that the wine banquet on the main table has been left, the cups, plates, dishes and bowls have been removed, and in front of everyone, there is nothing more than a cup of tea and a plate of candied fruits and dried fruits.

The short middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, with an extremely broad face, a neck that seemed to be as wide as his face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, pursed his thick lips at the moment and did not speak; Next to him, Li Guozhu is sitting on the master's seat, and Chen Xinji is on the right; The remaining four people are also shrewd and strong, with a pair of shining eyes, staring at a delicate wooden box placed in the center of the big Eight Immortals table, which is the "Fairy Grass" brand cigarette roll.

"As soon as Lin Da's family arrives, our eight brothers will send Yang Tiansheng Yang to Brother Yang," Li Guozhu said leisurely, and only then did he pull everyone's attention back, "Count it up, the eight of us have not been together for more than a year." ”

"That's it!" Lin Sanwa, the protagonist of today's Lin Da by his side, nodded and said, "The eight of us walked, and the excluded were excluded...... Zheng Yiguan, that bastard, just take us as soft persimmons! ”

He is also one of Yan Siqi's twenty-eight brothers, after Yan Siqi's death, he was squeezed out of the sea area of Wenzhou by Zheng Zhilong, responsible for collecting the displaced people. There is little oil and water, but the pressure is high, and it also clashed with Zhejiang's Maritime Patrol Road from time to time, and four boats have been lost in a short time.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone echoed and couldn't help but scold Zheng Zhilong for being unfair.

When everyone was almost out of place, Li Guozhu coughed and said, "Brother, this aunt's matter is a bad thing, but at the same time it is a good thing...... If it weren't for that, we might not be able to gather together in some year. ”

He said this, with the intention of excusing Chen Xinji, who naturally understood, and nodded slightly to Li Guozhu across Lin Sanwa.

"Speaking of the matter of the eldest aunt, I still haven't made a fuss about the third baby," Lin Sanwa frowned and said, "Brother Guozhu, what you wrote in this letter is twisted and turned, one moment it says that it was held hostage by some Dengzhou Xiucai, and then it says that you don't have to worry about your life, what the hell is going on?" "He's a straight-hearted man, he can say whatever comes to mind, and he can't get those twists and turns.

Li Guozhu smiled slightly, and explained how Yan Ruxue was captured, how the two sides agreed, and then Yan Ruxue and Dengzhou Xiucai talked roughly about how they were like glue, and finally said, "Third Brother Lin, the housekeeper I left in Nagasaki also happened to send a letter back today. ”

After speaking, he took out the letter and handed it to Lin Sanwa, Lin Sanwa took it and glanced at it and gave it back to him, "I don't know a few big characters, what kind of letter will I read...... Just tell me no, I can trust you. ”

Li Guozhu shook his head with a wry smile, and said the gist of the letter, it was nothing more than Yan Ruxue who had spoken, and wanted to play with Chu Fan for a while, so that the uncles should not worry about Yunyun, and then Fang Zifang also wrote the life experience of Chu Fan that he touched, and finally mentioned that Chu Fan's "fairy grass" cigarette roll is now sweeping Nagasaki like a gust of wind, making a lot of money.

"Bang!"

After hearing this, Lin Sanwa slapped the table suddenly, and she didn't know what to say.
