More than ten days later, outside Fenghua City, the weather was getting colder, scattered snowflakes fell from the sky, there were very few people on the pier, and there were not many boats. A fleet of ships docked at the wharf, and a caravan composed of more than 100 sturdy men carried the goods on board under the icy rain and snow and put them on carts.

Due to the attack and harassment of the Japanese invaders, the Japanese police in this area of Fenghua are frequently reported, and the security is very tight. At the gates of the city, officers and soldiers stood solemnly with spears, checking passers-by, and if anyone tried to bring weapons into the city, they would be refused or confiscated. This kind of coastal city is still relatively friendly to caravans, and when they saw these people coming, the officer who led the team greeted them with a smile, "Where did you come from the caravan and what kind of goods are you selling?" Now that the army is in chaos, have you heard any news of pirates on the road? ”

In the caravan, a man in his early thirties hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "Master Jun, the villain is a small trader, he brought tea from Fujian to Ningbo, isn't Yang Ji collecting tea, we are going to deliver it." On the way, I heard that there were pirates, but we were familiar with this route, familiar with the people, familiar with the road, and smooth sailing, so the pirates did not find out. ”

"Tea? Okay, open the box and take a look, check it and let it go. Also, since you are a tea seller, can you take the tea lead? ”

The merchant looked at the raindrops falling from the sky and looked embarrassed, "This weather check?" If the tea leaves enter the water, I am afraid that Yang Ji will not accept it, so please make it convenient for the military master. We are the tea farmers of the old man Xu in Shaoxing Mansion, and this time we are also the five managers of the Xu family. He went to Ningbo to fight the front station first, and he was not in the team, otherwise he would have spoken to you. Besides, this tea is what Yang Ji wants, please make it convenient. ”

While talking, the merchant quietly sent two ingots and ten taels of ingots, and the officer pinched the silver in his hand, with a knowing smile on his face, "So that's the case, the people of Master Xu's family, and Yang Ji's face, then there is no problem, hurry up." By the way, you don't have any weapons on you, do you? Now in order to prevent theft, the imperial court has an order that weapons are not allowed to enter the city. If you have weapons, give them to me, and I'll give them back when you leave the city. ”

"What did the military master say, although there are many people in our caravan, how dare we bring weapons. When you encounter thieves, you also rely on the flat shoulder to greet you, and the flat shoulder can't also be regarded as weapon collection, right? After a haha on both sides, the caravan entered the city smoothly, led by someone, all the way to an inn in the west of the city. Before the inn, I saw a newly opened teahouse on the side of the road crowded with people, and the sound of gongs, drums and huqin came from inside.

"This play is really good, the horns are also good-looking, the kung fu is handsome, and the people are even more handsome. If I can ask to go home and be a little wife, I will admit it even a few hundred taels of silver. The two merchants who were queuing up outside muttered quietly, and some big men in the caravan couldn't help but look towards the theater, but they were slapped by the people around them.

By the time they entered the inn, someone had already numbered the house, and the gang took off their hats and robes, and randomly looked for a place to bake the fire. In the upper room, a bald man forty miles away, sitting on the main seat, grabbed the tea bowl and drank saliva, and threw the bowl away.

"These officers and soldiers are very good at checking, but what's the use, can they check and prevent me Li Qi? At the beginning, Fujian's prison was so strong, didn't I come and go freely? As I said, there is no need to be afraid of the officers and men at all, because we have more than 200 people here, and even if we really talk about fighting, we can take down this place. Tell the sons and daughters, hurry up and eat, rest and rest, and when the connector from Feng Tai'an comes, we will do it. ”

The man who had just been talking to the officer was accompanied by the prime minister at this time, and after listening to the leader's instructions, he smiled and said: "The seventh master is powerful, and the little Fenghua is vulnerable." I don't know when people outside the seal will come, this ...... There is nothing to do left and right, and the younger brother wants to go to the theater building to take a look......"

Li Qiniu's eyes widened, and the man didn't dare to speak, not knowing what this moody boss would do next. But I saw Li Qi's big hand on his shoulder, "Niang, what kind of bird words are you talking about, how can you go and see it yourself?" Everyone is a brother, sharing blessings and hardships, and we have to see it naturally. All the leaders are gone, Three Tigers, you stay and look after the house, no problem, right? ”

Qiu Sanhu, who was hit by a sword on Black Shark Island and was lucky not to die, had healed his injuries at this time, and the whole person was even more gloomy. Sitting motionless in the corner, if it weren't for Li Qi's reminder, everyone would have even forgotten the existence of this person.

Fenghua has a city wall as a county seat, and although the pirates can rely on hard attacks to break through the city, the casualties will inevitably increase. To deal with this kind of city, either not to fight, or to use this kind of internal and external means.

When the great army came up, the people who entered the city killed people and set fire to them, and opened the city to meet their accomplices. The officers and soldiers can still fight for a while by relying on the city walls, but as soon as they hear that the pirates have entered the city, they often don't even have the will to resist, and they only have to run away, and it is much easier to fight.

Li Qi was born as a fugitive and is brave, although he is now a thief, he always does what this advanced city should do. Qiu Sanhu's sword skills are sharp, and no one in the single-handedly bandit gang is his opponent, so he brought it over. His popularity is not good, and no one is willing to take him with him for this kind of good thing.

Qiu Sanhu didn't seem to care about this kind of targeting, and snorted coldly, "When will Guo Gang Leader and Boss Gu come to the city?" And when they came, who talked to them? ”

Li Qi touched his bald head and cursed, "Forget it, you guys go, I won't go, I'm waiting here to negotiate with them." By the way, I have also heard in Fujian that these dramas were brought by Yang Chengzu of Qincha, and they are all real little ladies, not Xiaodan played by men in Southern Opera. When Fenghua is broken, everyone catches one by one and goes back to the village. ”

If these foreign pirates want to succeed in Fenghua, the support of the local gang is also inseparable, and in the past, they attacked the county seat, but also relied on contacting the local underground forces and cooperating. Guo Shan and Gu Zhong of Fenghua have had a cooperative relationship with them for many years, but if they want to break the city, everyone must negotiate the price clearly.

This kind of conversation is reciprocal, if Li Qi goes to the theater, then who do they talk to? Several of the leaders happily went to the play, and the minions opened the boxes on the car.

The box that originally held the tea was full of knives, guns, weapons, and more than a dozen strong bows. Li Qi poked a nine-ring wind knife at his feet, and Qiu Sanhu wiped the knife cloth with a quick wipe to wipe his goose knife brightly. At this time, a minion came in and whispered back, and the two local gang leaders arrived with their own men.

Guo and Gu are both middle-aged men in their forties, and as the leaders of local gangs, they dress like two successful businessmen. Outsiders know at most about their opening of buildings, casinos, loan sharks and the like to collect thieves, but few people know that they are also partners with pirates.

Seeing that the other party brought more than 100 people, Li Qi laughed, "Two brothers, we have been friends for so many years, and every time we meet, we put on such a big battle, it's boring, right?" ”

"There are few people with you, I'm afraid that you look down on the seventh master, and now who on the sea doesn't know that your seventh master is the hero of one party, and there are thousands of brothers under him. Bringing more than 100 brothers over is just to let them open their eyes and meet the real heroes. ”

The two parties laughed and walked into the upper room of the inn hand in hand, and at the moment when the door closed, Qiu Sanhu, who was speechless all the way, suddenly asked in a cold voice: "Two uncles, your business is very big, and even the guards of the city gate are also the brothers in your gang?" ”
