Chapter 38: The Way of the World
Above the East China Sea, the blue waves are vast.
A luxurious two-story painting ship with a height of more than two feet is slowly moving.
To say that such a gorgeous painted boat should have been in the calm and comfortable, rouge-filled inner city river, not on the East China Sea, which is extremely dangerous and always at risk of capsizing.
But at this moment, it is strangely appearing in the East China Sea.
"Then ask the Yan Fu world, how can you open your eyes and see that this jackal, tiger and leopard are rampant in the world, and right and wrong are reversed in black and white......"
A playful man stood on the bow of the painted boat, dancing with long water sleeves, babbling and singing.
"There is the sun and the moon hanging in the morning and dusk, and there are ghosts and gods who hold the power of life and death.
Heaven and earth can only distinguish between the turbidity, but how can it be confused and steal Yan Yuan.
Those who do good suffer from poverty and have a shorter life, but those who do evil enjoy prosperity and live longer.
Heaven and earth are also afraid of hard and soft, but it turns out that they are also pushing the boat so smoothly.
The land is also, you don't distinguish between good and bad; God, you are wrong to be foolish!
Hey, only two tears rippled. ”
The drama sang affectionately, couldn't help crying, tears rolled in his eyes, and his voice was poignant.
The boatmen who were listening to the play all over the boat sighed in unison: "Bitter." One by one, they also wept.
In the distance of the painted ship, on the surface of the East China Sea, several large ships of the sea are flying their flags.
Next to one of the largest pirate ships, drop a small boat.
An old man with gray hair and a cloth coat jumped into a small boat.
There were already two muscular pirates on the boat, waiting with oars in their hands, waiting for the old man to jump on the boat, and the two strong pirates shouted, one left and one right, paddling hard.
These two pirates who paddled were both masters of refining their internal qi and were the old man's confidants.
The boat was like a wild horse on the loose, speeding on the sea, and in a few moments, it had caught up with the painted boat.
The boat stopped a few feet away, and the old man in cloth and his two men turned over and knelt on the board of the boat, motionless.
On the painting boat, the actor dressed up as Hua Dan is still throwing his water sleeves, babbling and singing, and he is fully devoted.
The old man and his subordinates didn't dare to come out, and waited until the play was tired of singing and stopped, and the old man spoke: "The old slave knocks to see the young master."
"What's the matter?" The voice of the opera came down from the bow of the painted boat, very young, sounding like a gentle man, with a very cultivated appearance.
At this time, a woman came out of the painting boat, she was barefoot, wearing a light yellow palace dress, her body was graceful, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.
The woman saw the three people lying on the boat lying on their stomachs and didn't dare to raise their heads, and said unhappily: "How many times have you said it, don't take your pickled things to the young master and say that the young master is kind-hearted and can't listen to these things of life and death."
The old man secretly complained in his heart, weren't these things arranged by this young master?
If you don't come to ask this master, will they let them make their own decisions, and don't dare to give him a hundred dares?
But this woman was the personal maid next to the young master, and the old man didn't dare to offend, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, my aunt said yes." But the old slave can't help it, a bunch of people in the East China Sea have been gathered in the offshore sea for more than half a month, and the old slave is worried about the reaction of the imperial court sailors, so he came to ask the young master if he can do it? ”
The woman said: "What are you afraid of, you are the king of the East China Sea, just such a little guts?"
The old man didn't dare to speak.
The woman said: "After the thirteenth day, on the day of Chongyang, you can organize people to attack the city."
This is something that we have agreed with several major families, if you do it, the entire Ping'an County, except for the hundreds of county soldiers and thousands of militia stationed in the county, will not have any reinforcements, and they will not be able to stop you.
After the city is broken, you can use all the rich women in the city, but the things you explain must also be done meticulously.
It is necessary to slaughter 81,000 people within three days of the destruction of the city, making up the number of ninety-nine to one.
If it's not enough, I'll make up the tens of thousands of you sea cowards. ”
The total population of the entire Ping'an County, plus the surrounding villages and towns, is only about 100,000, and this opening will slaughter 81,000 people, basically slaughtering the entire county.
Moreover, it is quite difficult to break the city within three days, but the old man has no room for bargaining.
The woman said that she was not enough to make up the number of tens of thousands of Haikou with them, which was by no means a lie and threat, but a fact.
"Auntie and grandmother, don't worry, the old slave will definitely do it, if the matter is not done, then use the old slave's head to make up the number."
The old man hurriedly patted his chest and promised to come down, he would definitely do it.
"Also." The woman continued: "Except for Ping'an County, other counties in Baiquan Prefecture, you'd better not want to fish in troubled waters.
In Ping'an County, several of our major families reached an agreement, and the imperial court also acquiesced.
But if you move other county towns and let the imperial court catch the handle, although you are a dog raised by the young master, the young master will never stand up for you.
Even if it affects the young master because of this, I can't spare you for the first time. Understood. ”
"Understood, understood."
The woman said: "Okay, then hurry up and get ready, don't keep getting in the way in front of the young master and pollute the young master's eyes."
The old man commanded his men to paddle and turn the bow of the boat as fast as he could.
The sound of singing came from behind him:
"It's not that I punished such headless wishes, but the grievances are not shallow; If there are no spiritual saints to pass on to the world, there may not be a clear blue sky. I don't want to be sprinkled with half-star blood and red dust, and I only practice hanging in the eight-foot flag gun. When he saw it all around, this was our Changhong Huabi, and the emperor was crying. ”
The voice is poignant and moving, and there are endless grievances.
"Wronged." The boatmen who were listening to the play lamented in unison.
……
Until the boat rowed far away, away from the painted boat, there was no trace of the painted boat again.
The three people on the small boat dared to gasp for breath, and the old man also regained the bearing of the East China Sea Sea King.
A henchman Haikou couldn't help but ask, "Why did the noble man let us slaughter the city, or did you have to kill enough 81,000 people?"
The old man said: "These are not a big secret in the world, you are my confidants, and it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Ping'an County has recently been full of local qi and yin qi, attracting demons and ghosts to gather.
Some people speculate that there may be strange treasures under the ground of this Ping'an County, related to the legendary netherworld.
Netherworld, that's where the legend says the dead return. It's about the netherworld, how can the family let it go.
But to wait for this earth qi to slowly erupt, it is estimated that it will take at least a few decades, and the families can't wait, so they want to use the slaughter of the population to accumulate the resentment of death, trigger the eruption of the earth qi, and accelerate the time for the birth of the treasure. ”
The Haikou shuddered and said, "These families are more ruthless than us who beg for a living."
The old man saw another henchman Haikou smirking on his face, he couldn't help but look in one direction, and frowned: "Sea Dog, what are you smirking at?"
The sea dog said: "The maid next to the young master is so beautiful, like a fairy, I have never seen such a beautiful woman."
The old man exclaimed, "Did you look up at her?"
The sea dog said embarrassedly: "I heard her beautiful voice, I couldn't help but look up secretly, and she smiled at me."
The old man was furious and said, "Didn't I warn you again and again that you must never look up at the nobles?"
Seeing the old man's expression was very different, the sea dog also realized that something was wrong, "The nobles shouldn't punish me for such a trivial matter, right?" ”
The old man jumped to his feet in anger and said continuously: "You don't understand, you don't understand."
Before he could say something, another sea guru suddenly pointed to his face and said, "Sea Dog, what's wrong with your face?"
The fur dog felt a little itchy on his face, so he reached out to scratch it, and this scratch, the blood in his hand was dripping, and it was a large piece of flesh and blood.
"I ......" fur dog was frightened, but he didn't feel pain at all.
Then my whole body itched, and I couldn't help but reach out and scratch my whole body.
Moments later, there were only two men left in the boat, and a pile of flesh and bones.
