Fortunately, these stone houses were originally used to stack gunpowder and shells. The materials for this bomber are ready-made. After Yu Ren finished instructing Liu Qiang, he said to Shi Tingzhu, the only one who was still by his side, "Let's go over there and investigate the enemy's situation." ”

So, Yu Ren took Shi Tingzhu and climbed a small hill next to the fort. Although the hill is not very high, the mountain is very steep. If you look down from here, you can see the entire island.

At this time, on the island, figures flickered, and groups of people, armed with torches, were rushing towards the fort from all sides. Yu Ren, who was watching, was secretly anxious.

At this moment, Yu Ren heard a loud noise coming from the bottom of the hillside. Then, there were several loud bangs in quick succession. Yu Ren breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Liu Qiang had finally succeeded in their bombing.

"Hurry ......up" Yu Ren was about to turn around and ask Shi Tingzhu to go down the mountain to tell Liu Qiang to finish blowing up the cannon, so he took his brothers to retreat to the mountain, taking advantage of the mountain situation here to hold on and wait for help. As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a huge pain in his back. Yu Ren instinctively rolled forward.

I saw that Shi Tingzhu had already pulled out his waist knife and was slashing at him.

Yu Ren didn't expect that this person, who was originally responsible for protecting his own safety, would suddenly secretly do not kill him.

At this time, Yu Ren had no time to think about it, he didn't even have time to draw his sword, so he could only hold Shi Tingzhu's waist knife with a sword sheath.

Shi Tingzhu really deserves to be the number one master in Daqu Mountain, as soon as he saw that he failed to kill Yu Ren with one knife, he immediately followed with another knife, one knife after another, without any interruption. His movements were so fast that the fast Yu Ren didn't have time to fight back at all, and he didn't even have time to stand up.

Yu Ren felt that Shi Tingzhu's knife was like a strong wind in the desert, blowing endlessly towards him, he could only instinctively swing his sword to block it, and he had no time to think at all. It was the first time he had faced such a formidable opponent. Under the attack of Shi Tingshu, Yu Ren felt like a grain of sand in the desert, and he could be swept away by the wind in front of him at any time.

Just when Yu Ren felt that he was about to lose his support, Liu Qiang suddenly shouted: "Shi Tingzhu, what are you doing?" Stop, you traitor. Otherwise, I will let the eldest lady destroy your whole family. ”

Shi Tingzhu suddenly heard Liu Qiang's shout, and his heart panicked, he never thought that Liu Qiang, who was still under the mountain, would come so quickly. didn't expect that his sneak attack didn't hack Yu Ren to death, not only did he not hack him to death, but he could actually resist. The failure of this crucial knife directly led to the exposure of the current action.

Shi Tingzhu, who was flustered, also slowed down the movements of his subordinates. Yu Ren saw this opportunity and jumped out of Shi Tingzhu's knife circle. Then he used his sword as a sword, and opened his ten knots.

Yu Ren's Qiankun Ten Festivals are really very good. Shi Tingzhu's offensive could not be used at once, so he could only change to a defensive style. And the people on the hillside also quickly rushed up and surrounded Shi Tingzhu in the middle.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Shi Tingzhu couldn't help sighing, simply gave up resistance, and threw the steel knife in his hand to the ground.

Liu Qiang rushed up angrily, and he was about to cut down Shi Tingzhu with his sword. Yu Ren hurriedly stopped Liu Qiang's recklessness. He knew that there must be many secrets hidden in this stone pillar. Before he figured out why he wanted to kill him, Yu Ren didn't want him to die.

"Hear what he has to say?"

Although Liu Qiang was stopped by Yu Ren and put away the knife, he still gave Shi Tingzhu a heavy kick. kicked Shi Tingzhu forward and fell forward. "You're a wolf-hearted thing. Three years ago, you were so depressed in Hangzhou that you had no food to eat, and it was the eldest lady who saw that you were pitiful and accepted you. The eldest lady not only took you in, but also made you the leader. I didn't expect you to repay the eldest lady like this today. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? ”

Shi Tingzhu lowered his head and did not speak.

"Say! Why don't you speak? Liu Qiang saw Shi Tingzhu bowing his head and was silent, and stepped forward and kicked him again.

Although Shi Tingzhu was kicked twice in a row, he still did not speak. It was a young man standing behind him who answered. "Liu Tou, I know why Shi Tingzhu assassinated Yu Xianggong."

"Oh! Tell me about it. Seeing that this young man actually said that he knew Shi Tingzhu's motive for killing him, Yu Ren couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing that this Shi Tingzhu hit Liu Qiang twice, but he didn't even snort, Angkor Yu Ren knew that he was not a soft bone. If such a person is unwilling to speak, even if he is tortured, he is afraid that it will be in vain. However, this issue is very important.

You must know that even if Yu Ren can't say that he is a member of their Li family now, at least he is on the same front as them at the moment. And he is still helping them deal with the problem of Chen Qiandao, a hot hand, no matter from which point of view, the Li family has no reason to kill him. What's more, he also has such a special relationship with Li Ying.

In this way, it is possible to understand how serious the problem is. Yu Ren knew that on the battlefield, the most terrifying thing was often not the enemy on the other side, but the traitors hiding in his camp. These people are the most destructive and threatening. If he can't immediately find out the true identity of this Shi Tingzhu and his purpose of assassinating him, then not only his own life is in danger, but all of these brothers in front of him are in danger.

And such a potential danger also threatens Li Ying.

Just as Yu Ren was about to ask Qing Shi Tingzhu's motive for assassinating him, the killing of the pirates led by Zhong Laosan under the mountain was getting closer and closer.

Yu Ren had to put Shi Tingzhu's question aside for the time being. "Liu Qiang, tie him up first! We'll try him later. Now hurry up and arrange for the brothers to put the key points on the mountain and lay more stones. Stopping Zhong Laosan's attack is the point. ”

Liu Qiang agreed, and hurriedly arranged for his brothers to prepare. At this time, under the mountain, the shouting of killing was getting closer and closer. Yu Ren suddenly saw a cloth bag thrown by several brothers on the ground, which contained the gunpowder that had just been used up to blow up the fort.

Yu Ren was happy in his heart, he was worried that they couldn't bring a bow and arrow out this time because it was a sneak attack. And although there are many rocks on this mountain, most of them are too large to kill the enemy. With this batch of gunpowder, it is simply like a tiger with wings!

Yu Ren looked around, and now there is only Yang Xiaoqing, who said that he knew the inside story, except for the stone pillar that was tied to the ground by the five flowers. Although Liu Qiang looks reckless, he still has some sense of the overall situation. He knew that it was very important to investigate Shi Tingzhu's affairs, so Yang Xiaoqing, who knew the inside story, was also very important. In order to prevent Yang Xiaoqing from being killed by the enemy on the front line, Liu Qiang left him with Yu Ren, and he could also protect Yu Ren by the way.

"Brother Xiaoqing, you come to do me a favor. Now we have to hurry up and help Leader Liu lead them to repel Zhong Laosan's attack and defend this mountain. Otherwise, once Zhong Laosan attacks the mountain, we will have no way to live. ”

Yang Xiaoqing naturally knew that the current situation was urgent. "Yu Xianggong, please command."

Yu Ren then asked Yang Xiaoqing to join him in wrapping the gunpowder in cloth, making it into a bag, and then wrapping the gunpowder in a strip of cloth to make a lead and use it as an explosives bag. Although this approach is somewhat rudimentary. But Yu Ren could only think of these things in front of him.

Looking at Yu Ren and Yang Xiaoqing, who were busy there, Shi Tingzhu, who was tied up and thrown on the ground, suddenly spoke. "It's useless, you better hurry down the mountain, it's right to take the boat and escape. No reinforcements will come. If you stick to it like this, you will end up with only a dead end. ”

Yu Ren was shocked. This is the last thing he wants to see. They have easily attacked the island, and if they give up like this, it will not be so easy to attack the island next time. And his original expectation was that as long as they held this mountain for two hours, Jiang Jiulang's reinforcements would definitely arrive. When the time comes, they will be free.

However, what does this Shi Tingzhu mean when he says that there will be no reinforcements? Could it be that there is something wrong with them in Daqushan? If this is the case, then wouldn't Li Ying be in danger? Thinking of this, Yu Ren couldn't help but get anxious.

"What the hell is going on? What do you want to do with the eldest lady? Yu Ren didn't mess with his explosives bag at this time, but rushed up with an arrow and lifted Shi Tingzhu up from the ground.

"The eldest lady is fine. It's just that we, the brothers who attacked the island, are afraid that something will happen. Shi Tingzhu said.

"What will happen?" Yu Ren asked a few questions in a row, but Shi Tingzhu did not answer.

"I know what's going on. It must be that Jiang Jiulang is not coming to help us. This guy is in the same group as Jiang Jiulang. It must have been Jiang Jiulang who instructed him to assassinate Yu Xianggong. Yang Xiaoqing shouted.

When Yu Ren heard this, he suddenly understood.

This Jiang Jiulang must have been jealous because he saw Li Ying's affection for him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of himself. He deliberately planted such a killer by his side in the name of protection. Take advantage of your own opportunity on Chenqian Island to kill him. In this way, no one will suspect him.

In this way, Shi Tingzhu said that there would be no reinforcements, obviously this Jiang Jiulang did not intend to meet them as planned. If that's the case, then they're really dangerous. This small hill is so small that although there is a mountain stream, there is almost nothing to eat. Even if they can hold the mountain, as long as Zhong Laosan traps them on the mountain for a week, they will all starve to death without them killing them.

Thinking of this consequence, Yu Ren's heart couldn't help but feel cold.
