Chapter 32: The Battle of Naguze

"Who is the Yuan Sect Master you just said?"

Zhu Jiu's mood stabilized a lot, and when he talked about Naguze, he was interested, "The master of the Yuan Sect came to Naguze later, at first the old captain was here to rob the house and no one cared about it, until the king of Dongming took office, he sent troops to clean up, although the old captain has rich experience in water warfare, but after all, the king of Dongming is the god of war of the East God Department, and he completely suppressed the old captain, and the two sides fought in this Naguze, and many people died, and then the war in the south dragged the king of Dongming, he could not fight on two fronts, so he simply recruited the old captain, Let him return to the Dongshen Department to dispatch, the old captain knows the stakes here, and finally reached an agreement with the Dongming King, they no longer rob the house, but become a scattered army in the Dongshen Army, forever stationed here, with the help of the Dongming King, Naguze has become very prosperous, especially Luoxia Island, has become a gathering place for traders, dart bureaus, ticket numbers, and is also an important material transfer station! ”

Zhu Jiu picked up the water bag and took a sip, and continued: "King Dongming is a smart man, and he also arranged his own people in Naguze, that is, Yuan Xin, the master of the Xuanaxe Gate, one of the eighteen gates, he is now in charge of Luoxia Island, with thousands of people under his command, and he also opened a shipyard, and dozens of merchant ships come in and out every day, all of which are built by this shipyard!" ”

"The Xuan Axe Gate ranks fifth among the thirty-six gates, and the status of the rivers and lakes is very high, so it is quite surprising that it can obey the arrangement of the Dongming King!" Wei Xiaoyue said.

"King Dongming is not small, not only controls the military and political power, but also meddles in the rivers and lakes, does he want the entire thirty-six gates to listen to him?" Wei Xiaofeng was a little angry.

Lan Jiuming didn't look at the two of them, but kept whispering the name "Yuan Xin", and then asked, "Boat family, isn't the owner of the Xuanaxe Gate an old chivalrous guest of Zhong Wenzhong?" ”

"Zhong Lao Xia Ke disappeared four years ago, Yuan Xin is his righteous son, after Zhong Lao Xia Ke disappeared, Yuan Xin became the door master, and moved the Xuan Axe Gate to Luoxia Island, if you want to pass through Naguze, you must take his merchant ship to leave!"

"Missing?" Lan Jiuming was puzzled in his heart, and he had a bad premonition. Speaking of Zhong Wen, Lan Jiuming also received his favor. That was when he first arrived at the arching place, he met a group of wandering criminals on the road, there was no cultivation on his body at that time, and he was almost killed, it was Zhong Lao Xia Ke who passed by to save him, and gave him food and wealth, this is also the first time Lan Jiuming saw the real existence of the martial arts described in the book, since then, Lan Jiuming began to seek teachers and Taoists, and finally learned the skills to get through the difficulties, this kindness he has always remembered.

Lan Jiuming sighed secretly, feeling that the world is impermanent, Wei Xiaoyue saw Lan Jiuming's mood changes, and didn't ask more. Zhu Jiu continued to row the boat, and everyone didn't speak, only Wei Xiaofeng looked around, very curious about this reed bush.

"Will you encounter any more bandits ahead?" Wei Xiaofeng felt that the atmosphere was a little quiet, and couldn't help but break the silence and ask.

Zhu Jiu replied worriedly: "We will meet a few waves of people, this doesn't matter, after Wang Shun's pass, the rest is easy to say, it's just that Wang Shun was killed by you, if it is investigated in the future, only my boat will pass by, and it will definitely not let me go!" ”

"We have no choice but to make a move, we can't let him take my sister away!" Wei Xiaofeng said.

Zhu Jiu waved his hand helplessly and said, "It's useless to say this, I shouldn't have brought you over tonight!" ”

"Don't worry, you won't be discovered!"

While he was talking, three clippers suddenly appeared on the water, lined up, and walked side by side with Zhu Jiu's fishing boat. "Stop the boat!" The man who spoke stood at the bow of the boat, his hand pressed on his saber, and his voice was very loud!

Zhu Jiu had a ghost in his heart, and stopped the boat restlessly, "It turned out to be you!" The man stepped forward with the torch and saw Zhu Jiu, "What?" Is there a shortage of people in the shipyard of the Yuan Sect again? ”

"It turned out to be Brother Gao Feng!" Zhu Jiu smiled all over his face, "The construction period on the Yuan Sect's side is tight, and there are not enough manpower, so I am also affected!" ”

"Master Yuan has really developed in the past few years!" Gao Feng said, and focused his attention on Wei Xiaoyue's body, "You, raise your head!" ”

Wei Xiaoyue was helpless, so she had to raise her head, "It's still a beauty, Wang Shun didn't leave this guy privately, it's very surprising!" ”

As soon as Zhu Jiu heard this, his heart was cold, although the three people on this boat were young, they were not good at stubble, then Wang Shun and his gang lost their lives in an instant, looking at Gao Feng's appearance, it is estimated that he did not run away, if he was also killed, I was really completely finished, hey, why did you take such a job? Zhu Jiu secretly scolded in his heart: "These bastards, when they see beautiful women, they are in a trance, and they really deserve to die!" ”

Gao Feng looked at Wei Xiaoyue intently, but said to Zhu Jiu in his mouth: "The three of them are ordinary laborers? ”

Zhu Jiu's heart was horizontal, and he simply didn't care anymore, and said calmly: "Yes!" ”

Gao Feng turned his head and looked at Zhu Jiu with a fierce look: "Wang Shun, those guys, when they see a beautiful woman, will they easily let you go?" ”

"Brother Wang Shun didn't say anything, and let him go!"

Gao Feng looked at him, a smile appeared on his gloomy face, "Since Wang Shun didn't check it clearly, let me interrogate him properly!" ”

"Another one looking for death!" Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaofeng were secretly lucky, and they were just about to make a move, when they suddenly heard a cannon shot, and in an instant, the fire was blazing, and the shouting of killing shook the sky! Everyone looked to the southwest, and saw dozens of boats coming and going on the water in the distance, and the big flags on the boats were blue and red, and they were already intertwined, obviously fighting. I don't know which side of the gunpowder ignited the reeds, and a huge fire was crackling and spreading around.

Gao Feng shouted: "Not good! He didn't pay attention to Zhu Jiu, hurriedly turned the bow of the boat, and rushed towards the firelight. This change was too sudden, and Zhu Jiu was stunned, but Lan Jiuming's words woke him up, "Boatman, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" ”

"Oh yes, yes, yes, we need to get out of here!" Zhu Jiu picked up the oars and rowed quickly. Lan Jiuming looked intently at the warships coming and going in the distance, and asked, "Boatman, is the ship of Xuanaxe Gate a red flag?" ”

"That's right, Xuanaxe Gate mainly runs merchant ships, and for Tujili, they are all marked with red flags, how did you know this?" Zhu Jiu buried his head and rowed the boat quickly!

"The water bandit Gao Feng who came just now, he has a cyan flag on his boat, it must be the old captain's man, just now I saw that the two sides of the war each have red and blue flags, there should be no one else in Naguzeli who can fight with the old captain!"

"Why did Master Yuan get into a fight with the old captain? It's weird! When Zhu Jiu heard him say this, the rowing movement in his hand slowed down slightly, and he raised his head and looked into the distance, "It's really Yuanmen's boat."

"Judging from our experience, Wang Shun and Gao Feng don't seem to know!" Wei Xiaoyue added.

"The boat is rowing, the fire is on!" Wei Xiaofeng shouted, and several people looked back, the speed of the fire spread beyond their expectations, and the distance was less than 100 meters.

"Don't take the path, there are reeds everywhere, if we continue like this, we will all be burned to death!"

Zhu Jiu was also anxious, and shouted in a panic: "But there is no wide waterway nearby!" He pointed to the place where the battle was going on in the distance, "There's a big road over there, but there's a war going on, and we can't get through!" ”

Lan Jiuming asked, "Do you want to go through?" ”

"You don't have to go through it completely, but you have to go through it from the left side, do you see that opening?" They looked in the direction of Zhu Jiu's finger, and sure enough, they saw a waterway intersection, which was located in front of it, and it had not been burned by fire for the time being.

Wei Xiaofeng patted Zhu Jiu's shoulder and said, "Go over there, the three of us will protect you!" ”

"It's too dangerous over there, you ....."

"If the ink goes any further, we'll all be burned to death!" Wei Xiaofeng was anxious, "Boatman, hurry over, I'm here, I guarantee that you are unscathed!" ”

Zhu Jiu secretly complained in his heart, sighed, regretted agreeing to them tonight, there was no other way in front of him, he turned the direction of the boat and rushed all the way to the battlefield. The reeds in this area were almost burned out. Leaving a vast surface of water, many boats began to capsize after catching fire, leaving huge waves, Zhu Jiu's small fishing boat was swaying in the waves, the hull was constantly hit by stray arrows, Zhu Jiu hid in the cabin in fright, and did not dare to come out.

Lan Jiuming and the three of them closely observed the situation on the water, the two sides were in full swing, no one seemed to pay attention to the small boat, Wei Xiaofeng was rowing, and according to the previous direction, he was quickly passing through the combat zone.

"Boatman, come out and take a look, we're going in the right direction, right?" Lan Jiuming greeted Zhu Jiu, who was trembling.

He popped his head out of the cabin, "That's right, we'll be safe if we row over!" ”

Suddenly, a huge object landed on the water near the boat, setting off huge ripples, the hull of the boat shook violently, and it was about to capsize, Lan Jiuming quickly stabilized the hull of the boat, and hurriedly went to see, it turned out to be a powder keg, if it was hit, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Lan Jiuming looked in the direction of the landing point and saw a big ship with a blue flag sailing towards them, and the people on board were loading gunpowder kegs into the transmitter, it seemed that they were planning to continue the attack!

"Xiaofeng, speed up!"

Wei Xiaofeng also saw it, and said with hatred in his heart: "I really want to teach them a lesson!" ”

Lan Jiuming knew that Wei Xiaofeng used all his strength, but this speed would still catch up, he hurriedly went to the stern, luckily put on a posture, a stream of air surrounded his body, and the surrounding water surface began to tremble, becoming more and more violent! Columns of water burst out of the water, protecting the ship's surroundings. Zhu Jiu looked stupid, he couldn't believe his eyes, "Oh my God, how did you do it?" ”

Wei Xiaoyue was also very shocked, "The true qi in Brother Ming's body is so powerful, it can resist water and form, it's really powerful!" ”

At this moment, the chasing boat ejected four powder kegs and headed straight for the small fishing boat. At the critical moment, the water column around the ship was like a water dragon, spraying like teeth and claws at the powder keg, and the huge impact force smashed the powder keg, and those water dragons did not stop, shooting directly at the big boat behind, drilling holes in the hull one by one, and the main body of the ship began to collapse in an instant, at the same time, the water dragon launched by Lan Jiuming had a strong reverse thrust, and the small boat was like an arrow off the string, rowing forward quickly.
