Yanagi Yuba glanced at Nobuyuki Kamizumi on the tree: "Then what about this thief?" During your absence, did we follow his instructions to dig for treasure? ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "Yes, every time I send dozens of people to dig up treasures according to the map he gave, and after digging, I will move back, and first take out more than 100,000 taels to divide among everyone, one hundred taels per person, which is considered the hard-earned money this time, and the injured will be given an extra hundred taels, and the dead will be given three hundred taels to support their families." ”
Liu Sheng Xiongba's brows furrowed: "Have you told the fat man about this, the money should be in his hands." ”
Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "I have told him about this a long time ago, this money is not small, so it will be temporarily stored in his money bank, so that it will not attract attention, and it will be officially established in the future, and then moved to the general helm for safekeeping." Liu Sheng, remember that the place where our brothers are stationed is arranged by General Qi, and the military discipline should not be too strict, if they want to go into the city to drink, let everyone change into civilian clothes, but they must spend the night in the camp, and they can't drink and bring women back in the barracks, remember to emphasize this to the hall masters, and they will work hard to supervise it. ”
There was a trace of doubt in Liu Sheng's eyes: "In the past few months, these people in the rivers and lakes should have become more or less accustomed to the life of the military camp, do they still need to emphasize it like this?" ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "After the big victory, people are the easiest to slack off, and everyone has worked hard for several months. is not free in the first place, and this battle is also non-stop, so it is also appropriate to treat everyone. But we must not be completely relaxed, there is still a big battle below, and the usual training is also needed, we martial arts people, do not need to practice in formations like the army, but the cooperation between the groups, cover is still needed. This time, the appearance of the Demon Sect's main altar guard made everyone impressed, and it was very necessary to take advantage of this rare battle break to train more. ”
Yanagi nodded: "Write it down." The connection between you and me. Or is it still a pass guò qingxuan? ”
Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "If it's not an urgent matter, try not to contact it, if the matter over there goes smoothly, I will get out and come back in advance." ”
Yanagi put his fingers between his lips. A long howl. Suddenly, a cyan goshawk flew into the forest, and landed steadily on the shoulders of Yanagi Xiongba, Yanagi Xiongba's face showed a rare smile, and he took out a piece of dried meat from his arms and put it in the palm of his hand, and the goshawk took the dried meat into his mouth in one bite, and swallowed it in two or three times. Shaking his head and wings, he looked very happy.
Li Cangxing smiled and touched Qingxuan's feathers: "Liu Sheng." Then I'll go, I have something to contact with Qingxuan, oh, by the way, this Shangquan Nobuyuki needs to be secretly detained, not in the barracks, it is best to discuss it with Qian Fatzi, he has been doing business in this area for many years, has his own forces, and can find a safe and secret place. ”
After Li Cangxing finished speaking, he patted Liu Sheng Xiongba's shoulder vigorously: "I will leave all the things here to you." ”
Yanagi Xiongba smiled slightly: "Don't worry." Once you've made your mask, go back. ”
Li Cangxing and Yanagi Xiongba sat in place and began to make their own masks, when the two were at the bottom of the nameless valley, they usually made these masks every day to entertain themselves when they had nothing to do.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Liu Sheng Xiongba strode away, Li Cangxing stayed where he was, and after about an hour, Liu Sheng Xiongba returned to the forest with Qian Guanglai and Pei Wenyuan, and took away Shangquan Xinzhi, while Li Cangxing was escorted back to the camp by five or six Black Dragon Society masters with more than ten Japanese prisoners, and it was all in Li Cangxing's plan.
Five days later, on Hengyu Island off the coast of Fujian, the waves crashed on the shore, the sea breeze howled, and the huge wave crests smashed on the craggy rocks on the shore with the strong east wind, shattering into waves, and the stone mountain city standing on the hillock in the center of the island was more like a devil's lair, gloomy and murderous.
Mao Haifeng, dressed in close-fitting soft armor and bearded like a hedgehog thorn, stood on the castle tower at the head of this mountain city, his eyes were cold, looking at the starry warships on the sea in the distance, and on the shore of the mainland ten miles away, the people in Ningde County were helping their families and fleeing from the north gate in a hurry.
A thin man in black, with silver hair like frost and snow, wearing a bronze demon mask, holding his arms in his arms, and the purple qi around his body loomed, but it was not the Dongting gang leader Chu Angel, he stood beside Mao Haifeng, looked at the small boats on the sea, and sighed: "The old man saw it with his own eyes today, so I know why Leader Mao can compete for hegemony on this Hengyu Island." This is really a place of hegemony given by God to the head of Mao. ”
Mao Haifeng smiled proudly: "The master of the Chu Gang is serious, my surname is a rough man, how can I have this vision, this place is newly selected by the old ship owner, and it is also to prevent Shuangyu Island from living here if something happens." The opposite side here is Ningde County, Fujian, across the sea from the mainland for ten miles, if the tide is low, it is a shoal, you can walk over, when the tide is high, you can row over here with a small boat, if the warships of the Ming army want to come, they will only run aground on this shoal, and if the Ming officers and soldiers want to come on foot during the day, the musketeers and artillery on our island can bombard as much as they want, and the Ming army that wants to attack my Hengyu Island in recent years is not less than tens of thousands, and tens of thousands of lives have been thrown in vain, This is really the vision of the old shipowner. ”
Chu Tianshu nodded with satisfaction: "Chief Mao, this time you are willing to cooperate with us, I think we can be prosperous, I will help you deal with the Demon Sect and Yan Shifan, once I control the water and land shipping in Fujian, I can provide you with the silk, tea and porcelain that you urgently need, and you can have money to earn together when the time comes, even if it is an official army, you can't help it." ”
Mao Haifeng sighed: "Gang Master Chu, do you know why I turned my back on Yan Shifan and the Demon Sect and instead sought cooperation with you?" It's because I can't trust the government at all. These people will naturally say good things when they want to use you, but when they want to turn their faces, it is faster than turning the pages of a book, and the old shipowner has proved this with his life. So I believe in people like you more than those sanctimonious officials. ”
Chu Tianshu said in a deep voice: "Leader Mao, I am not only a person from the rivers and lakes, but also a businessman, to maintain my Dongting Gang tens of thousands of brothers, I need a lot of money, and I only rely on the toll of Huguang Province. It's hard to develop a lot, so now I want to expand my influence to the Fujian area, except for Southern Shaolin. There is no strong force in the rivers and lakes, and in the past, because the sea route was blocked, all factions were too lazy to help and rudder here, but if I cooperate with you. It is possible to make money by trading overseas. So between you and me, it's a match made in heaven. ”
Mao Haifeng laughed: "Chu Gang Master, I just like you to be so refreshing, this time you brought 500,000 taels of silver silk and tea, I can sell more than five million after I arrive in Luzon, and you and I will split the money in half at that time, how about it?" ”
Chu Tianshu nodded: "Very good, let's do it in the future." The Fujian area has become the territory of the Mao chief. Zhejiang's Shangquan Nobuyuki has been destroyed this time, and you will dominate the sea in the future, and I will only cooperate with you. ”
The corners of Mao Haifeng's mouth hooked: "It's just that our reputation in the Central Plains is not very good, Chu Gang Master, cooperate with us, aren't you afraid that those famous and decent people will be regarded as evil demons, and they will do it to you in the future?" ”
Chu Tianshu sneered disdainfully: "The various factions of the Demon Alliance, I have already seen it clearly, they will only obey the orders of those Qing sect ministers behind them, and they will not risk the damage of their own foundation to maintain any chivalrous justice. If it weren't for this, they would have organized a righteous army to come to the southeast to fight you, that Hu Zongxian has recruited the chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes for so long, and in the end, one of these famous factions will participate? Since they won't go to war with you, they won't be enemies of the Dongting Gang who are only cooperating with you. ”
Mao Haifeng frowned: "What Mr. Chu said is extremely true, but where did that heavenly wolf come from, do you know?" When this person was in Jinyiwei before, did he deal with you? ”
Chu Tianshu's eyes behind the bronze mask flashed coldly: "Don't hide it from Leader Mao, I know the origin of this wolf, but I have an appointment with this person in advance, and I want to keep each other secret, so I can't tell you about this person's origin." ”
Mao Haifeng sighed softly: "Then why did this person go against us several times, and why did he go to Shuangyu Island to deceive my father-in-law and Brother Hai like that before?" Gang Master Chu, with all due respect, this person is full of lies, and he is afraid that the agreement with you will be unreliable, so why should you keep your promise for a liar? ”
Chu Tianshu's eyes were blazing: "Chief Mao, I have full confidence in this, if this wolf does not keep his promise, my identity will have been exposed long ago over the years, so I believe that he did not betray me, I Chu Tianshu is trustworthy, and I will not take the initiative to harm him." ”
Mao Haifeng gritted his teeth: "But this guy is still ghostly, this time in Zhejiang, he has already broken the matter of Shangquan Xinzhi, who knows if he will come to Fujian to fight against me again?" Chu Gang Master, since you have a friendship with him, can you find a way to spread a message and ask him not to come to Fujian to make trouble with us, he can not give me Mao Haifeng face, and he can't even give you Chu Gang Leader's face. ”
Chu Tianshu nodded: "To be honest, I didn't expect his strength to be so strong now, in the past, the Heavenly Wolf had always been alone, but now he has actually become a hegemon, I should indeed find an opportunity to talk to him about the future." ”
Mao Haifeng said with a smile: "Then there is the Lao Chu gang leader." ”
Chu Tianshu waved his hand: "You're welcome, the old man also has to go back to Fujian to arrange the establishment of a rudder in Fujian, this time I won't stay with you longer, the matter of the wolf, I'll talk about it next time." Chief Mao, please send someone to send me back to the mainland. ”
Mao Haifeng nodded: "Okay, then send the Chu Gang Leader." He turned his head to the "Henglu Jiner" who was standing at the door of the hall and said, "Henglu, help me send the Chu Gang Master back." ”
An imperceptible cold glint flashed in the eyes of "Yokoji Shinji": "Yes." ”
"Henglu Jiner" rowed a small boat, carrying Mao Haifeng, marching towards the opposite shore in the wind and waves, Chu Tianshu put his hands behind his back, independent bow, and said nothing, and Li Cangxing, who was dressed as Henglu Jiner, was just silently paddling the oars, and the Hengyu Island behind him had gradually drifted away, and only the whistling wind and the howling waves on the sea were left in the ears of the two.
Chu Tian turned around slowly, a few locks of white hair fluttering messily in the wind, and his eyes sparkled: "Cangxing." Your courage is really not small, you dare to go to Hengyu Island alone. ”
Li Cangxing's face did not change, and the oar in his hand did not stop for a moment: "Gang Master Chu." How did you recognize me? ”
Chu Tianshu said coldly: "When I entered the hall, you deliberately exposed the Heavenly Wolf Battle Qi, although the breath was extremely weak, but I knew that it must be you, a rough person like Mao Haifeng who is good at foreign skills can't perceive it, you are deliberately reminding me that you are on this island." ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "Gang Master Chu." There are some things I don't understand and I want to ask you for advice, so that's why I use this method. To be honest, I went to the island this time mainly to reconnoiter the terrain of Hengyu, and I didn't expect to run into you. ”
Chu Tianshu's white eyebrows raised: "So, are you preparing to attack Hengyu Island?" Cangxing. I can't imagine that you have really become a member of the court now. ”
Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "The senior's words are bad. Just now I listened to the conversation between my predecessors and that Mao Haifeng, and I have always felt uncomfortable, you are the head of Huashan, and you are also a world-famous gentleman's sword, you should know that my generation should act with chivalry first, even if you can't do chivalrous righteousness, at least you can't help the abuse, you now take the initiative to cooperate with the Japanese Kou. Is this still the heroic Yue Party who had the world in mind? ”
Chu Tianshu sneered: "The great hero Yue Dang who has the world in mind has long since died, and his useless kindness. also died in the Falling Moon Gorge with his wife and daughter, and now Chu Tianshu, as long as he can eliminate the Demon Sect and the Wushan Sect, even if he cooperates with the devil and the alien race, there is no problem. Cangxing, so you're going to fight me to the end? ”
Li Cangxing gritted his teeth: "The Japanese invaders brutalized the people, attacked coastal towns, and ruined the lives of people, senior Chu, do you really feel guilty when you cooperate with these people?" ”
Chu Tianshu laughed, shaking the boat for a while: "Cangxing, I thought that you now have many subordinates, and you can command thousands of troops and horses, and you can consider the problem from the perspective of a hegemon, but when I see it today, it really disappoints me, you are still that simple and stupid Wudang boy, in this world, it is strength that can determine a qiē, not morality, the Japanese can bring money, and I need money to develop and grow my power, so we can cooperate, and those coastal people can bring me money, Can you help me fight the Demon Cult? ”
Li Cangxing said loudly: "Gang Leader Chu, you just want to open up the channel of overseas trade, and you don't have to cooperate with the Japanese Kou, after helping me eliminate Mao Haifeng, I can still engage in overseas trade, and when the time comes, you and I can also make money in partnership." ”
Chu Tianshu's white eyebrows raised: "So, the main reason why you want to destroy the Japanese is that you want to develop yourself?" ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "This is an important reason, I have the same purpose as you, I also want to seek revenge on the Demon Sect, and I also want to defeat Yan Shifan behind the Demon Sect, so I don't have money or power, I also have thousands of brothers, and I also want to open a sect, in other provinces where the war is fierce, I can't gain a foothold to compete with these old sects, so I can only choose Fujian and Zhejiang to gain a foothold, which is why I want to fight the Japanese here." ”
Chu Tianshu said in a deep voice: "Why did you rebel against the Jinyi Guard back then? You answer this question before I decide if I want to work with you instead. ”
Li Cangxing said coldly: "Because Lu Bing deceived and betrayed me, and instead cooperated with Yan Shifan, I thought that if I could recruit Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, I could quell the rebellion in the southeast, but Lu Bing personally killed Xu Hai and his wife in front of my eyes, I don't want to serve this kind of person anymore, so I will betray Jinyiwei and run my own forces to take revenge on the Demon Sect." ”
Chu Tianshu's brows stretched: "I told you a long time ago, Lu Bing is not credible, you didn't listen to me at the time, and now you will know that your head is bleeding." Back then, I invited you to join the Dongting Gang, but you refused, saying that you wanted to do something big in Jinyiwei, and now that you have been out of Jinyiwei, I invite you to join my Dongting Gang again, we have a common enemy, we can work together to do a career, how about it? ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "Senior Chu, you misunderstood me, this time I don't want to be subject to anyone anymore, so I will stand on my own, we can cooperate in the future, but I don't want to make a subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates." ”
Chu Tianshu snorted coldly: "Are you emotionally attracted to Qu Caifeng's slut, that's why you rejected my invitation several times?" ”
Li Cangxing took a deep breath: "Senior, this is the second thing I want to ask you for advice today, why did you send such a heavy poisoner to Wushan back then, even the old and weak women and children?" You once promised me a temporary truce with the Wushan Sect and concentrate on dealing with the Demon Sect. ”
Chu Tianshu said angrily: "Li Cangxing, what do I have to do, do I still need your consent?" For me, the Demon Sect and the Wushan Sect are both undying enemies, and they will not let go, the Wushan Sect is weak, I will naturally find them to attack first, and that time it was the various factions of the Demon League to encircle and suppress Wushan, and I just went with them, do you think that if I don't make a move, the Wushan Sect will be able to escape that catastrophe? ”
Li Cangxing gritted his teeth: "If you want to destroy the Wushan faction, I don't want to say anything, but the tens of thousands of old and weak women and children, they don't know martial arts, it's just that the Wushan faction adopted them, why can't even these people be spared?" ”
Chu Tianshu laughed: "Old and weak women and children? When they enter the Wushan faction, they deserve to die. Didn't the robbers of the Wushan faction all grow up from those innocent children? Even Qu Caifeng was just an orphan brought back to Lin Fengxian back then. (To be continued......)
