Liu Minyou loaded the lead bullet into the muzzle of the gun, touched it under the handcuff, and the short stab did not know where it flew to, the cabin was still fighting fiercely, the sound of blades intersecting was endless, and there was a pair of hand-to-hand combat on the ground, which knocked the tables and chairs into chaos.

Liu Minyou was in a hurry to help, and in a hurry, he touched the ground for a while, the ground was full of fragments of dishes, cutting his hands to blood, and finally grabbed a chopstick, Liu Minyou stabbed twice with chopsticks in surprise, and pulled away the hammer.

Nie Hong's scream sounded beside him, Liu Min stood up awkwardly, only to see Nie Hong clutching his chest and falling, the killer who was fighting against him left him, turned around and was about to go to Xu Xinsu's side, just to have a face with Liu Minyou, the killer's hideous face was covered with blood, Liu Minyou watched the familiar Nie Hong fall to the ground, couldn't help but be angry, and subconsciously raised his gun at the killer.

The gunflame of the "boom" fire gun illuminated the cabin brightly, the distance between the two was very close, the white smoke from the muzzle of the gun sprayed onto the killer's face, the lead bullet was full of power at close range, the killer's head exploded like a watermelon, and the white brains splashed all over the people behind him, and there were only a few killers left, and finally couldn't hold on under the blow of such a cruel scene, howling and escaping from the cabin, Pu Zhuang stabbed the last person in the back, and then chased out, Chen Xin had already joined forces with Xu Xinsu to kill the killer at this time, Seeing this, he hurriedly stopped him and told everyone to squat down again.

A wounded killer leaned against the bulkhead, knowing that the enemy who had fallen would be wounded and died even worse, and before they could catch him, he screamed, plunged his knife into his heart, and died with his head tilted.

The killers who escaped were finally a little sane. The leader who had been sitting at the bow of the ship jumped back into his boat, and the crossbowmen on the other side saw that their men had escaped from the cabin, and fired a few arrows at the cabin, all of which were blocked by the thick table.

The firing of several muskets finally attracted the attention of the surrounding painting boats, but they couldn't see it for a while, and thought that it was another scholar fighting with someone. They shouted for the boatmen to row over to see the excitement.

The killers suffered heavy losses, and they were again broken and quickly approached the west bank. A boat came to see the excitement of the painting boat, I don't know what to do. A group of brothers-in-law drank too much and shouted at the bow of the boat, throwing dishes at the killer's boat. Chen Xin secretly scolded them for not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and sure enough, with a crossbow arrow, a brother-in-law was shot in the calf, fell on the deck and screamed in pain, and the brothers-in-law were stunned for a moment, scattered in a hurry, and scrambled to hide in the hatch first. Fortunately, the killers didn't intend to kill them, and sped towards the West Bank.

As soon as they withdrew, Chen Xin immediately groped for it. When he found Nie Hong, his hands were full of wet feelings, he quickly called Pu Zhuang, and the two of them carried Nie Hong to the side of the door and tore Nie Hong's shirt. A long and deep knife wound on his chest, blood kept gushing out, Pu Zhuang took out his first aid kit, took out the boiled cotton cloth inside, Chen Xin and he took a piece and pressed it on the wound, Nie Hong called out in a low voice, "Adult".

Chen Xin interrupted him and said, "Don't speak. It's just a knife cut. ”

Pu Zhuang said: "Captain, cut horizontally, see if your life is hard, if you can stop the bleeding, you will live, if you can't stop it, you will die, fortunately it is not stabbed, otherwise I can only prepare a coffin for you." ”

Nie Hong nodded slightly, he has been born and died many times, and he has also been on the battlefield, he has seen many wounds, and he knows that there is still a bit of drama in the cut, so he was thinking nonsense on the floor, and after a while, he couldn't help but whisper: "Forget if you can't save it, it's not wrong to die with an adult, I have killed more people in my life, it's enough, Pu Zhuang, you remember to go and give my dead daughter-in-law a stick of incense, no one has been there for a few years, the place is in the ......"

Pu Zhuang interrupted impatiently: "I know, I know, what are you talking nonsense, you can't die, I'm going to stop here." ”

Chen Xin also said: "It's okay, it's almost stopped." ”

Liu Minyou and Song Wenxian also came over at this time, the two saw that the cotton cloth was soaked, and quickly took off their robes and pressed them on it, and pressed their eight hands tightly on Nie Hong's chest, Liu Minyou had already come back to his senses at this time, his hands kept shaking, and several other people felt it, and glanced at him from time to time.

Xu Xinsu also checked his men in the cabin, he had eight guards, four of the six at the front door were dead, and the remaining two were also wounded, and they were mending the killer's corpse on the ground next to each other, and after half a ring, Xu Xinsu's voice sounded, and he shouted to the back door: "Zhan Yi, are you dead?" ”

Shinyouemon appeared in front of him with a bloodstain and said in a deep voice, "Dead." ”

Xu Xinsu was silent, he helped Zuo Changhao up without saying a word, looked at Zuo Changhao's injury through the lights outside, and knew that it was not a fatal injury, so he was slightly relieved.

"My lord! My lord! Is it a gun here? ”

There was the barking of sea dogs on the shore, Liu Minyou saw through the hatch that they were running along the river bank with the rest of the guards, the stupid monk was dozens of steps behind, and he was about to run out of breath, Pu Zhuang let go of the hand that pressed the wound, and went to the bow of the boat and scolded: "How the are you deaf, what are you not shooting, adults and Nie Hong are injured, and the dog thing has been here for a long time." ”

Seeing Pu Zhuang's blood all over his body, the sea dog shouted in fright, "What's wrong with my lord?" As he spoke, he went into the water, and several other people hurriedly pulled him, and one of them persuaded: "Brother Hai, you don't know how to water." ”

Xu Xinsu said in a deep voice: "You can still move, dock the boat to the east bank, let Lord Chen's brother come up, and let's get off the boat on Sanshan Street." ”

The boat soon came to shore, and the fur seals rushed up with the people, and went to various positions to be on guard, only the stupid monk, after climbing up, sat on the ground and gasped, and as soon as they arrived, everyone felt much safer. Xu Xinsu and a guard steered the rudder, and the painting boat continued to sail in the direction of Sanshanmen.

Xu Xinsu stood up, and when he arrived at the stern, Chen Xin left the sea dog and others to help bandage Nie Hong, loaded the handcuffs, and followed to the back door, there were six or seven corpses in the stern, all of which were killed by Xinyouweimen and Zhan Yi, the two of them guarded the back door alone, and they were very brave and played a very key role, especially Xinyouweimen, Chen Xin only took a cursory look, and knew that although he was covered in blood, he was not seriously injured, and he could kill several people with fewer enemies in front of these outlaw killers, and he was not seriously injured, this is a real master, is worthy of being Li Dan's personal guard back then.

Xu Xinsu stood in front of Zhan Yi's corpse and did not speak for a long time. The stupid monk gasped. Drew a knife and went up to the second floor, Chen Xin followed, took the gun and went up to the second floor, the stairs were full of bloodstains, and there was a killer at the staircase on the second floor, he was motionless, and the blood stains ended here. It is estimated that the injured killer couldn't crawl, and the stupid monk didn't care if he was dead or not, and stomped on his neck with one kick. After searching again, I found Tang Yan and the others trembling under the bed, all of whom were colorless.

"Stay here. No one is allowed to leave until I give permission. Chen Xin said coldly, he didn't intend to embarrass these people, but Xu Xinsu's assassination was very strange, the assassination needed to catch the target's whereabouts, and then mobilize troops and rent ships, these killers could find them in many painting boats on the Qinhuai River, and they could only have information in advance, and Xu Xinsu killed five of his subordinates. There is also his hardcore confidant, with Xu Xinsu's personality, he will definitely carefully examine the possible leaks. He found that these people were the most suspicious, Xu Xinsu would not let them go lightly, and Chen Xin also felt that there might be a whistleblower among them. The killer may know that Xu Xinsu may have come to Qinhuai River today through the appearance of Zuo Changhao, so Chen Xin's muzzle has been pointed at them.

That Tang Yan was speechless, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord......" and there was no follow-up.

Xu Xinsu followed and came up, and as Chen Xin expected, he didn't plan to let them go. He called a guard and took off the women one by one and searched them, the women didn't dare to resist, they took off honestly, and the stupid monk swallowed his saliva again and again.

Nie Hong was seriously injured, Chen Xin didn't have the heart to joke, Zuo Changhao and Zhan Yi were both Xu Xinsu's right-hand men, one dead and one wounded, and four guards. Just look at Xu Xinsu's dedication to helping Li Guozhu, you know that this person is very affectionate, and his mood at this time can be imagined.

Chen Xin secretly glanced at him, only to see him looking at those ** women with an indifferent face, not knowing how he would deal with them.

Xu Xinsu left a guard and asked him to guard these people, turned around and went downstairs, Chen Xin followed him to the ground floor, where there was still no light, and the lights outside shone in, imprinting the shadow of the pane on Xu Xinsu's face.

Chen Xin went to look at Nie Hong, the bleeding had stopped, he happily patted Nie Hong on the shoulder, comforted a few words, and then said to Xu Xinsu and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xu, we haven't done it yet, others have already found us first." ”

Xu Xinsu sneered: "Zheng Yiguan, this is not the first time, he has tried to assassinate me many times in Fuzhou, this person's face is comparable to the city wall, the first day of the assassination, the second day to meet the governor's yamen, but also in front of the adults to pretend to be concerned, scolding the assassin. ”

Chen Xin agreed, if this Zheng Yiguan was not this kind of person, he would not be so difficult to deal with at such a young age.

Xu Xinsu said to Xinyouweimen: "The heads are cut off and brought back to Fujian and thrown at the door of Zheng Yiguan's official office." ”

Then he said to Chen Xin, "Brother Chen, your subordinates are also very brave, worthy of being a strong army in the world, if it weren't for you today, my brother's life might be explained here." ”

Chen Xin hurriedly said: "If Lord Xu hadn't been entertained, he wouldn't have shown his traces, and if Lord Xu had lost so many siblings, my brother really couldn't help it." ”

Xu Xinsu shook his head: "Brother Chen must not think like this, either here or elsewhere, since they are here, they will definitely do it in Nanjing, but with your help today, they have the least chance of winning, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable." Zheng Yiguan came prepared, and there must be his inside line among the people around me. ”

Chen Xin's eyes looked at the guards at the stern of the boat, and Xu Xinsu said: "It's not them, these people are all my henchmen, and they will never be bought, and they don't have the time to report the news." Just now, I first suspected that there were spies among those servants, and now I remembered that there was another guard who said that he was sick today and did not follow, if as expected, he heard the person sent by Zuo Changhao say that he was painting a boat in Yumian Building, and the person who informed Zheng Yiguan after I went out should have fled by now. ”

Chen Xin nodded, Zheng Yiguan didn't know which Qinglou Xu Xinsu was going to, and he didn't have the ability to install eyes and ears in all the river houses, but the guard was the most suspicious.

Xu Xinsu said lightly: "Let's talk about Qianzhuang." ”

"Okay, huh?" Chen Xin looked over with some surprise, Xu Xinsu smiled calmly: "I haven't done it myself for many years, and I just watched these kids die and be injured, but I suddenly felt a little upset, which made Lord Chen smile." ”

Chen Xin hurriedly arched his hand, how dare he smile at this old pirate, but more admiration, he sorted out his thoughts, and the two began to continue to talk about business in this cabin full of corpses and full of blood.

Chen Xin said: "The business of the money village, the brother in the north is mainly to make some fake copper coins, and now I also want to open two by myself, and the south of Brother Xu's money village exchange, now this is a small and weak force, and it is also the first time to deal with Brother Xu, I dare not mention too much to Brother Xu, so I set a amount of 50,000 taels of silver per year, and then I want to ask Brother Xu to help me buy some copper." ”

Xu Xinsu waved his hand and said: "For my brother to recognize people, although we are dealing with each other for the first time, but I can trust you, all the materials in my north are handed over to you to buy, and I will supply the southern goods you want, and then settle through the money village, which is also the easiest thing, and the limit is set at 200,000 taels." For specific matters, let Zuo Changhao talk to your subordinates tomorrow. As for copper, there is also a shortage in the south, but since my brother has recognized you as a brother, I will try to raise it for you. ”

Chen Xin was overjoyed, as long as Xu Xinsu agreed to the exchange, he would be able to cooperate and share with the money bank network in the south, which was by no means established overnight, and in the future, the fake money he made himself could be sold through these networks and get more terminal profits.

Chen Xin originally thought that Xu Xinsu would not trust himself too much, so he said a limit of 50,000 taels, but Xu Xinsu didn't even ask how much principal he had, so he set a higher number, and now he couldn't help but feel a little grateful to those assassins, this Xu Xinsu is strong, and he is very righteous, and he is very worthy of befriending.

Chen Xin hurriedly went to Liu Minyou to get a short gun, handed it to Xu Xinsu with both hands, and said: "Thanks to me for bringing this short gun today, I killed a few people by luck, and this musket will be given to Brother Xu for self-defense, and I also ask Brother Xu to take care of himself, if Brother Xu still wants it, I will send someone to Fuzhou." Zheng Yiguan is the enemy of Brother Xu and Li Gongzi, that is, my Chen Xin's enemy, and when my brother goes back, he will do his best to select people to train, and the three of us will join forces to kill the shameless man. ”

Xu Xinsu stretched out his hand to take it, looked through it in his hand and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a sharp weapon, I have also seen flint ignition guns, but they are all spears from Guangdong, but I didn't think about making this kind of short gun, and I didn't want to be polite to you for my brother, so I thanked Brother Chen." ”

Chen Xin looked at the corpses on the ground and asked him, "Big brother, how can you deal with so many people who have died?" The Yumian Bustard knows you're on the boat. ”

"This matter is handled by my brother, and I don't want to have much trouble, the soldiers and horses in Nanjing are all acquaintances, and I will send someone to warn Li Lihua early tomorrow morning, and I don't dare to say anything to her."

While speaking, they had already arrived near Sanshan Street, docked at a courtyard by the river, Xinyouweimen jumped off the boat first, and climbed over the wall like a civet, Chen Xin knew that this was Xu Xinsu's hidden lair, since there was a traitor, he would definitely not return to his original residence.

After a few moments, Shinyouemon returned, nodded to them, and the women were escorted off the boat, and several guards worked together to drag the boat under the weeping willows to cover it, and carried the body into the small courtyard.
