Chapter One Hundred and Two: Undercurrents
Chen Qiaochu's henchmen all knew that above the main hall of the Jiangyue Gang's helm, there were dozens of "bats" hanging all the time.
They are silent all the time, but at the critical moment, they can attack instantaneously to solve every deterrence against Chen Qiaochu, their martial arts are strong, each of them is not inferior to a black belt master, and the number of roads is different, just in front of everyone, there are Liaodong's boxing skills, the wolf's fighting skills, and Baiyue's hidden weapon techniques...... But unexpectedly, I don't know what method Chen Qiaochu used to make these masters from all over the world maintain the highest degree of loyalty.
The "Three Puritans" behind it, plus these dozens of "bats", have become Chen Qiaochu's biggest hole cards, the former gives Chen Qiaochu the greatest financial and power support, and the latter has become Chen Qiaochu's last barrier, and in normal times it is the continuation of her hands and feet.
Mr. Teach often says that if the words are opposed, they should have the same meaning and the same number of words, but in fact the sentence is not entirely true—just as the antonym of "brave" is not just "timid", and in many cases, the antonym of courage is in a high position.
It seems that some kind of convention has been formed, and everyone in a high position will add protection to himself, and he will never tire of it in this matter. Even in the palace surrounded by iron armor and masters, they couldn't help but be timid, couldn't help but lose their courage, for fear that someone would be angry, bleed five steps, and take his head. In order to explain their timidity, they invented many sayings, such as "The son of a thousand daughters does not sit in the court." Or, "If you have a meritorious body, you should spare your life."
In my opinion, why bother to explain such an explanation if you are in a high position? What about timidity? What about bravery? History is a maid who is dressed up, no one will remember, when the poor dagger was seen, how the emperor of the ages was panicked, holding his head and running away, people will only remember "Six Kings, Four Seas, Shushan Wu, A Fang out of the ......" Since then, the brave assassin has become a dead man with no name, no different from all living beings in the long river of history, and the timid king, his name will always be remembered and praised.
Of course, Chen Qiaochu also understands this truth, although she still can't face up to her timidity, but when she raises her head and looks at the dozens of "bats" hanging on the roof, she will faintly have a strong pleasure in her heart - because of them, I will live forever until my great cause is forged and praised by people forever......
But on the occasion of the Jiang Yue Gang ceremony, Yueyang Tower was in chaos, Liu Li and the two brothers and sisters fought against the masters of the Jiang Yue Gang, and then there were military soldiers to surround them, Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly appeared in the encirclement, assassinating Chen Qiaochu, if it wasn't for Brother Dulong blocking it, I was afraid that Chen Qiaochu would have been in a different place at this time. At such a time of critical survival, how could Chen Qiaochu's "bat" do nothing?
All the people of Xiangzhou know that since October 1, there has been a fog, fog, layers of fog covering the whole territory of Xiangzhou, all day long, it is really a wonder of the world, no matter how good your eyesight is, at most more than twenty or thirty zhang, you can not see anything clearly.
In the previous three cannon shots, everyone in Yueyang City heard the deafening loud noise when the fireworks exploded, and when they looked up at the fireworks, they only saw a little light flashing in the sky.
When the third salute sounded, Chen Qiaochu was standing by Yun Mengze, she looked north, thinking in her heart that after solving the Jiang Xiaoshu incident, she would lead the Jiang Yue Gang to the north and officially march into Jingzhou, vowing to hold the north and south of the lake in her hands at the same time, ambitious, so not excited.
But what she didn't know was that in the big lake to the north, there were already ten huge ships parked at this time, and the nearest one was only thirty or fifty zhang away from her.
Liu Lingwei's provocation in front of Yueyang Tower made Chen Qiaochu almost lose all her mind, she led the good hands out of the nest, vowing to kill Liu Lingwei by thunderous means, so as to teach the world to understand her Jiang Yue Gang's methods, but she didn't expect that in the tea she left the helm, the Jiang Yue helm had been completely captured by the enemy from the lake in the north.
Each of the giant ships is more than ten zhang long, five or six zhang wide, wrapped around the iron sheet of more than one inch thick, firm and hard, almost the most powerful water warfare weapon in the Great Qin Imperial Court except for the sea ships, the deck is built with three floors, and there are two floors under the deck, each floor
There are warriors ready to attack, or the halberd is strong, or the horn bow is controlled, or the strong and sharp, just waiting for the leader to give an order, they will all be killed, and the enemy will be annihilated.
It is no exaggeration to say that such a ship is a veritable overlord in any river, not to mention that ordinary water bandits and robbers only have the share of fleeing when they hear the wind, that is, the official ship meets this huge ship, I am afraid that I will tremble in my heart, for fear that the other party will not pay attention, and hang on his own boat, but he will destroy the ship and die, and be a ghost in the belly of fish, shrimp and crabs.
Ten zhang away from the shore, there are hundreds of densely packed "fish carriers", each of which has a special person left behind, and once it sees that the situation is wrong, it will launch an alarm, and it will be able to organize effective resistance in an instant.
But all these preparations, in the face of the attack of those ten big ships, seemed so powerless.
At the moment when Chen Qiaochu arrived at Yueyang Tower, ten big ships received an order at the same time - all annihilation, leaving no one alive.
Therefore, they marched at the same time, the sails were fully spread, and with the help of the wind, they went straight south, and in front of the huge ship, the "fish carrier" of the Jiang Yue Gang was like a papier-mâché toy, and when they touched it lightly, it disappeared in an instant, and before they could even make a sound, it became a miserable fragment.
Before the people left behind in the "Fish Carrier" woke up to what had happened, they were swept into the bottom of the giant ship, twisted into pulp, and the occasional survivor struggled desperately to emerge from the water, but before they could take a breath, they were shot into hedgehogs by the random arrows on the giant ship, and countless arrows went straight into the brain, where could they make half a sound?
Therefore, when the first sound of the rudder sounds, "Enemy attack!" When the shouts were made, it was already too late, ten huge ships had already docked, and the warriors rushed out, three or five people as a pair, cooperating with tacit understanding, and taking the lives of one Jiangyue thief after another.
From beginning to end, the entire Jiangyue Helm, the warning of "enemy attack" only sounded seven times in total, and the battle was over.
The warriors cut off one head after another and came to the lakeside, and after throwing them on the ground, they clasped their fists at one of the generals on the shore, and then hurried back to guard the throats of various major roads, completely isolating Jiang Yue's rudder from the outside world.
It seems that the general on the shore is the initiator of this raid, I saw that this person is tall, muscular, full of pride, Yinghua is inside, if it is not for the wrinkles on his face, and the sideburns are slightly white, I am afraid that everyone will recognize him as a young man in his twenties.
In fact, he is forty-five this year, this person joined the army at the age of 16, has been in the army for nearly 30 years, experienced more than 100 major battles, and closed the ghost gate seven or eight times, so that he can win today's fame, and only at such a critical moment, can he mobilize ten huge ships to give the heaviest and most fatal blow to the Jiang Yue Gang.
Similarly, it is also the countless vicious battles to the death, that sharpened his knife skills more and more proficiently, above the temple, he is an invincible general, and in the rivers and lakes, the "Shura knife" in his right hand also has a great reputation.
The general stood solemnly in place, there were hundreds of heads piled up in front of him, all of them were Jiang Yue's group of thieves in the general rudder, seeing that his subordinates were doing things so neatly, he couldn't help but nod secretly, but at the same time, he also felt a little inexplicable regret in his heart - it's a pity that the Shura Treasure Knife in my hand couldn't drink the blood of the thieves today.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction, obviously through the fog, he couldn't see anything, but his eyes seemed to have passed through many obstacles and locked somewhere.
The soldiers on the side of "My Lord......" saw the boss's expression suddenly change in shock, and couldn't help asking:
"It's ...... over there."
"Shhhh......h
"All the Water Dragons are mobilized."
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately agreed, then took a command flag and ran towards the big ship on the shore. ……
Every "bat" is either born dead or a slave. Before they became "bats", they had their own names, and some even had prominent statuses.
Fu Hua is one of them, before he became a "bat", he was a famous thief in Xiangzhou, and he was the most notorious thief, robbing homes, killing people and setting fires as commonplace, without repeating it.
He was born
The worst of the serious crimes committed by Ping was that he slaughtered 93 households in Zhaojia Village overnight, totaling 271 households.
Slaughtering the whole village, of course, he is not the only one who has done it, the vendetta in the rivers and lakes, often shouting to "kill your whole family and no one will survive, and the chickens and dogs will not be left", although most of them are ruthless words released by poor strength, but there are always a few people in the rivers and lakes who will do what they say, so the vendetta of destroying people or the whole clan, although rare, is by no means nothing. It's like Wu You, the former owner of Baisha Village, who once killed the doctor Manmen because of personal grudges.
There are so many cases of extermination, why did Zou Hua's case of destroying Zhaojiacun cause such a big shock, and even characters like the "Seven Great Sages" were dispatched to hunt him down for months?
There are two reasons - first, Zhaojiacun has no enmity with him, on the contrary, Zhaojiacun also had a life-saving grace for him. The reason why he passed by Zhaojia Village was because he was severely injured by the enemy family and was near death from his injuries, and Zhao Jie, the only daughter of the head of the Zhao family, saw that he was pitiful and saved him to take care of him, so he picked up his life.
Second, he's a brute, a brute in the truest sense of the word.
But after the injury, he was furious, and killed Miss Zhao, who took care of him day and night, and then killed her daughter first, and then in order to vent her killing intent in her heart, she actually took the situation and wiped out the whole village of Zhaojia Village, and waited for decent people to rush to Zhaojia Village, leaving only a corpse in one place, a crow hovering in a whining voice, a long bamboo pole standing at the entrance of the village, seven or eight babies who were nursing were strung together, and they were not dead for a while, the sound of crows pecking and the cry of babies overlapped in one place, and Zhaojia Village, which was like a paradise in the past, became a purgatory on earth......
Zou Hua was attacked by a group of decent people, led by the "Seven Great Sages" of the "Chaotian" and "Tongtian" two, all the way from Xiangzhou to Liaodong, broke one of his arms, and chased him for two more days at most to kill him, but at the critical moment, the "Chaotian Great Sage" left because of something important, and it happened that Zou Hua was saved by a mysterious force at this time, which left a life.
After being rescued, Zou Hua seemed to be a different person, he desperately wanted to be loyal to the forces that saved him, and the world can be learned, there is no half of fraud, and even in order to show his loyalty, he is willing to be a slave and a servant, driven by others, and has no complaints.
also saved him, why did he destroy Zhaojia Village, but grovel to that mysterious force?
Maybe this is because although he is a beast thief, at least he can settle accounts - in his heart, the greatest value that Zhaojiacun can give him is Miss Zhao Jie's body, and there are hundreds of crops for him to vent his killing desires. But the mysterious organization is different, they first passed through the imperial court, and the "Pingtian Great Sage" of the Shura knife was taken away, and then easily attacked, and blocked the "Chaotian Great Sage" Guan Dao, such strength, it is naturally worthy of his bowing, the most important thing is that in the name of "repaying gratitude", he kowtowed more and more happily, *** toes, I am afraid that the bottom of the tongue is full of relish.
Many people may say, how can there be such a way to settle accounts in the world - everything is based on strength, morality, righteousness, and life-saving grace can all be ignored, if so, wouldn't the world be chaotic?
But the person who said this sentence must have thought about it a little, not everyone in this world has a father and a mother, even among those who are taught by their parents, if they are not bound by the law, many people will become shameless, despicable, and mercenary, and they will do things worse than Zou Hua.
Strength often becomes a tool for wicked people to do evil, but it is precisely because of this that those who are strong in martial arts but still practice chivalrous deeds are more worthy of admiration.
Zou Hua begged the mysterious organization to accept him, but the other party sent him out with his head covered, telling him that the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was his future master.
After a lot of bumps on the boat, the black cloth brush was removed, and the dazzling sunlight made Zou Hua almost unable to open his eyes, he raised his hand to block his eyes, and opened his eyes with great effort, but his soul immediately flew out of the sky - isn't this Yun Mengze! I'm back in Xiangzhou again!
"My name is Chen Qiaochu, and from now on, your life is mine." The voice sounded overhead, and Zou Hua looked up and saw his master.
He became a "bat", bats bring darkness to people, but in the same way, they can only live in darkness forever, and once exposed to the sun, they are burned into a pile of ashes.
place
In that voice, "Enemy attack!" When it sounded, Zou Hua was the first to be alert, because he felt that his "sunshine" was approaching.
The murderous aura on the "Pingtian Great Sage" Shura knife will never be forgotten by him for the rest of his life.
