Chapter 22: The Rebellion
I thought they had escaped from the clutches of the devil, but I didn't expect that those people were simply full of food and had nothing to do except do some meaningless things of "chasing demons and driving out demons". They were not reconciled at all, they couldn't do it brutally, they changed their tricks.
They returned to the ship and discussed, and sent a hairy boy to change into ordinary clothes and follow Emperor Wuding and them. Emperor Wuding didn't know about them, so they only cared about their own journey, because it was getting dark, and they were not only hungry but also sleepy, so they hurried to an inn to fill their stomachs and rest early. After walking for more than ten minutes, they still did not see the inn, and they began to be unable to walk or move. Just as they were feeling extremely depressed, a man suddenly passed by with a horse on his back. The coachman stopped in front of him and asked, "Brother, where are you going to lead this horse?" ”
"Didn't you find out? My horse is a little lame and limping on its feet, and I want to lead it to the market and sell it. The man with the horse replied.
"Oh...... I see. I thought it was a good horse, otherwise we would have bought it. The coachman said disappointedly, and the man who led the horse was about to leave.
"Wait!" Emperor Wuding stepped forward to stop his way and said.
"What's the matter?" The man leading the horse looked at Emperor Wuding with puzzled eyes.
"If you go to the market to sell horses, you will meet many good horses. Right? Emperor Wuding asked.
"Of course!" The man leading the horse replied in a loud voice.
"Ge, you and Aqiu (the coachman) go with him to the bazaar and have a look, and if there is a good horse, we will pay a good price for it." Emperor Wuding turned his head and said to Xiao Gezi.
"Isn't it futile to have good horses and no carriages?" The woman said.
"By the way, do you know where to sell carriages?" Emperor Wuding asked the man who led the carriage again.
"You're asking the right person, there is a carriage shop near my house, and the carriages produced there are of good quality and cheap." When the man leading the horse heard that he wanted to buy a carriage, he immediately replied.
"Then please give us a specific address, and we'll look all the way there, and when they're done buying the horses, you can bring them over to meet us." Okay, right? Emperor Wuding said in a consultative tone, and the man leading the horse nodded. Xiao Gezi handed the man who led the horse a piece of oracle bone and a bronze knife, fortunately the man who led the horse was literate, and very quickly engraved the address of the workshop where the carriage was built on the oracle bone. Seeing that it was getting late, the coachman, the little checker, and the man who led the horse hurried away in order to accomplish these things as quickly as possible.
And Emperor Wuding and they also searched all the way, and it took about half an hour to find the address engraved on the oracle bone - near the "Jingliang Carriage Workshop", thanks to Tang Yi and Qiu Yue, they didn't bother to ask all the way, and they were about to ask the destination.
Prior to this, in order to track down the place where the black bat was hiding, Suo Bofan asked Ah Bing to use several forces in the house, and they went separately to find the escaped black bat, but to no avail. Just when he wanted to give up, there was finally good news, it turned out that Black Bat led his subordinates to hide on a giant wooden ship, and at this time he was also actively recruiting troops, wanting to expand the lineup, regain his strength anytime and anywhere, and take revenge.
Finally found the place where the black bat landed, and of course Suo Bofan would not give up. He racked his brains to come up with a good idea, since they were hiding in the wooden boat, then attack with fire, let his subordinates throw torches into the boat, the ship will definitely burn to the ground, this move will inevitably make the black bat lose his soldiers, and his men will definitely die and be wounded. When the night was dark, Ah Bing led the soldiers to the shore where the boat where the black bats were moored, Ah Bing gave an order, and his subordinates all threw torches at the ship with all their strength, and countless torches flew into the sky and landed on the cabin and deck, and the fire was raging, and the wooden boat was burning in a short time. The black bats were sleeping soundly in the cabin, and when they heard the movement outside, they ran out to take a look, and were shocked by the black fog that was flying in the sky and the fire that was rushing towards them.
The Black Bat quickly ordered his men to fetch water to extinguish the fire, but they didn't have much water on the boat, and it was clear that they couldn't extinguish the raging flames. Seeing that the wooden boat was damaged and began to sink slowly, the black bats saw that they really couldn't extinguish the fire, and while the big boat could barely row, they began to brave the fire and row towards the shore together. As soon as the ship docked, the Black Bat hurriedly jumped off the shore, some soldiers escaped with their lives, some soldiers were burned alive on the wooden boat, and some soldiers were burned all over the body.
The Black Bat was heartbroken and hated to go with the dead soldiers, but when he died, he could not avenge the dead. Since he was able to sit in this position, he had the ability to find out who was killing him, and he was fully convinced that these catastrophes came from the same person. Soon after, the Black Bat's men in ambush in the palace found him and reported to him that the palace minister Soberfan wanted to kill him.
Just when the people in the palace thought that Emperor Wuding was wandering outside, in fact, their short tour experienced turbulent waves and unimaginable spiritual shocks. And the palace also suffered a heavy blow at this time, and after the black bat learned that it was Suo Bofan who killed them, a wave of hatred flooded in his heart like a wave.
He wanted to find an opportunity to avenge this blood feud, and after learning that Emperor Wuding had gone out of the palace to inspect recently, he realized that this was a good time. On this day, he took advantage of the fact that there was no defense in Suo Bofan's mansion, led his subordinates to break into Suo Bofan's mansion, and killed the people in Suo Bofan's mansion from the guards to the family, and finally sneaked into Suo Bofan's room and held Suo Bofan's neck with a big knife. Suo Bofan saw a bat printed on the back of the black bat's right hand and guessed that it was the black bat. Suo Bofan never thought that he would be bold enough to come to the mansion. He thought that with his own ability, he would definitely subdue Sobfan, but now it seems that he has some light enemies.
Suo Bofan began to regret it, he has always believed that he can subdue the black bat, in the past they won one victory after another, and chased after it, thinking that they had dampened the sharp spirit of the black bat side, they would not have the power to fight back for a while, how do you know that although the black bat sacrificed so many subordinates, he can still pinch his throat in turn, Suo Bofan is covered with hair, looking up to the sky and sighing at his fate. He was a loyal servant of the Great Yin Shang, and now he fell into the hands of the thieves, which ruined his face.
When they walked through a city wall, the black bat tried to trap him on the wall, and the thought of the insults he was about to suffer from the black bat made him worse than death, and he began to lament, singing: "Who thinks that I will be a great merchant of the Great Yin Dynasty, once lost, lost in madness, lost in calculation......" The soldier scolded: "Shut up! Stop singing! ”
Suo Bofan used all his strength to break free from the soldiers' holdings, jumped off the city wall, and broke in a pool of blood in one breath, never to wake up again......
