Chapter 39: The Conspiracy to Commit a Ship Robbery
Zhao Qingyun was full of strength, and in the style of "pushing the window to invite the moon", he slapped his palms towards the scholar in unison. Seeing the move, the scholar pulled Zhao Qingyun forward in the style of "taking the moon into his arms", slapped his right hand and slapped Zhao Qingyun's chest.
The winner and the loser were decided, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and the Yang gang leader thought: Zhao Zhangmen is also one of the best masters in the rivers and lakes, how could he lose to the Wuji master within two moves? It seems that this Wuji master, who has no end in sight, is really unfathomable.
Cunyi and Yufeng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Zhao, Master, are you okay?" ”
Zhao Qingyun coughed lightly, smiled and said to Yufeng: "Feng'er, it's okay to be a teacher, I and the head of Wuji are just up to the point." ”
Hearing this, a sneer appeared on his face. Zhao Qingyun clasped his fists at him and said: "The martial arts of the head of Wuji have reached the peak, and Zhao Qingyun is deeply admired. ”
Zhang Jianfeng stretched out his thumb in the first emperor and said, "Master, as soon as your old man made a move, it was really extraordinary. ”
The scholar smiled without saying a word, Zi Yan stepped forward and said to Zhao Qingyun: "Senior Zhao, it doesn't matter if you are injured. ”
Zhao Qingyun said to her: "Miss Ziyan don't worry, the old man is fine. ”
Yufeng turned her head away, her eyes were full of anticipation, and she said to the scholar of Xiaoyao: "In vain, you are still the head of a faction, you are so domineering, and you are not as good as your own apprentice in terms of etiquette." ”
Zhang Jianfeng opened his eyes and yelled at Yufeng: "Stinky girl, you dare to speak disrespectfully to my master, I want to teach you a good lesson." ”
Yufeng said angrily: "Zhang Jianfeng, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?" After speaking, Yufeng pulled the sword out of its sheath.
Cunyi hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, Yufeng raised her eyebrows, and said to Cunyi: "Brother Cunyi, if you have me in your heart, help me kill this arrogant thief." ”
Zhang Jianfeng held his sword, spat on the ground, and said to Yufeng: "A girl's family, in public, said such unashamed words. ”
Yufeng was furious, drew her sword and was about to kill Zhang Jianfeng, Cunyi hugged her over, and said to her: "Feng'er, we are in the beggar gang, and those who dance and play with swords here don't take the Yang gang leader seriously."
Besides, Zhao's injury is unknown, so we should take him back to heal first. ”
Yufeng nodded, drew back her sword, supported her master with Cunyi, and said goodbye to Gang Leader Yang and Elder Xiao.
Cunyi and Zi Yan passed by, his eyes showed attachment and reluctance, but he couldn't say a thousand words, things have come to this point, what else is there to say between the two?
Zhang Jianfeng saw Zi Yanmei's eyes, and he was still reluctant to give up on Cunyi, and the clouds on his face began to accumulate.
The scholar shouted, "Zi Yan, you come back for me." What's wrong with this traitor?"
After the three of Zhao left, Yang said to Xiaoyao Scholar: "Xiaoyao Master, I didn't expect that today's meeting, everyone would actually add their fists and feet. The national crisis is at the head, but we are fighting in the nest, hey. ”
The scholar said: "Gang Leader Yang doesn't have to worry too much, what is there to worry about the little widows, I will definitely let them die without a place to bury them." ”
Elder Xiao said: "Master Wuji, even if you have great skills, there are more than a thousand people, how many can you kill with your palms?"
Zhang Jianfeng said: "Senior Yang, Senior Xiao, you two can sit back and relax, with my master here, we will definitely be able to complete the plan to drive out the Japanese invaders." ”
Gang Leader Yang said to the scholar of Xiaoyao: "Since the head of Wuji is confident, we are also very happy in our hearts, and when the gang finds out the news, we will discuss the next plan." ”
Gang Leader Yang and Elder Xiao walked out of the guest room of the Scholar Xiao, and he said to Elder Xiao in a secluded and uninhabited place, "Elder Xiao, what do you think of the Scholar of Freedom?"
Elder Xiao frowned and said in a deep voice, "This person is arrogant and arrogant, unrighteous and rude, which really violates the demeanor of the head of a faction. ”
Gang Leader Yang nodded, and he continued: "Elder Xiao, do you see what kind of martial arts path Master Wuji has used to defeat Master Zhao?"
Elder Xiao shook his head and said, "Helper, his subordinates are shallow, and they really can't see what kind of martial arts he is. ”
Gang Leader Yang said: "I once had a relationship with Gongsun Cheng of Wuji Gate, his martial arts are fierce and fierce, why is his junior brother's body shape and footwork so different from him?"
Elder Xiao replied, "It may be that the two of them have different internal cultivations, so they are also different in the choice of martial arts. ”
Gang Leader Yang said: "This is also what I can't figure out, I think the martial arts of the head of Wuji are extremely weird. Otherwise, how could it be that in just two or three moves, the defeat of Zhao's head would be clear. ”
The two talked while walking, and before they knew it, they had arrived in front of Master Zhao's guest room, and Gang Leader Yang said to Elder Xiao: "Elder Xiao, let's go and visit Boss Zhao's injury. ”
Elder Xiao replied, "That's exactly what my subordinates mean. ”
The two knocked on the door, and Yufeng opened the door, and saw that it was Gang Leader Yang and Elder Xiao, and hurriedly invited the two of them to the house.
After Gang Leader Yang and Elder Xiao sat down, Zhao Qingyun asked Yufeng to make tea for the two seniors.
Gang Leader Yang asked with concern, "Master Zhao, it doesn't matter what your injuries are. ”
Zhao Qingyun said with a smile: "Thank you Gang Leader Yang for your concern, I was only slightly injured." It will be fine if you use your luck to recuperate. ”
Gang Leader Yang then asked, "Master Zhao, I don't know anything about it, I wonder if you can tell me directly?"
Zhao Qingyun said: "Gang Leader Yang, everyone is a fellow martial artist, what can't be honest?"
Gang Leader Yang said: "Master Zhao, I am quite clear about your martial arts, who in the rivers and lakes does not know the prestige of the Cangsong swordsman?" Why is it that today in just a few moves, you ....... ”
Zhao Qingyun said: "Gang Leader Yang, I can't hide it, I fought with the head of Wuji, and I felt that his body was like a ghost, and my palm power seemed to be in the air, even though it was powerful, but it couldn't use real strength." ”
Gang Leader Yang listened and said to Boss Zhao: "Boss Zhao, I also asked you for answers because I had such doubts. Where the faux pas are, I also hope that Zhao Zhangmen Haihan. ”
Zhao Qingyun said: "Gang Leader Yang is too worried, Zhao's skills are not as good as others, how can he be angry because of Gang Leader Yang's questioning." ”
While the two were talking, the outside gang came in and said, "Gang leader, Elder Chen has led everyone back." ”
Hearing this, Gang Leader Yang and Elder Xiao hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and they said to Cunyi and Yufeng: "Young Yang Xia, Miss Yufeng, you have to take good care of Master Zhao. If you need any help, just ask. ”
The two of them thanked Yang and sent him out of the door.
Gang Leader Yang said to Elder Xiao: "Master Zhao is open-minded, which really impresses me. ”
Elder Xiao said: "A humble gentleman, honor and disgrace are not shocked, some people should really be ashamed of themselves. ”
Gang Leader Yang knew who he was talking about, so he just smiled faintly. The two went to Elder Chen to discuss important matters.
When he came to the council hall, Gang Leader Yang said to Elder Chen, "Elder Chen, you are going to Suzhou, have you heard any news?"
Elder Chen said: "Gang leader, my subordinates made a secret visit in Suzhou, and found that the guards of the East Factory pretended to be porters and packed a large number of gold, silver and jewelry into containers and ships.
Gang Leader Yang said, "Do you know where the ship passes, and who is the person in charge of escorting?"
Elder Chen said: "My subordinates have heard and understood, and in the days after tomorrow, there will be three colorful painting boats that will be transported to Tanzhou and shipped to Guangzhou.
Gang Leader Yang said: "Presumably, this must be the people's fat and people's ointment that Wei Zhongxian scavenged from the people, we must not let the old thief enjoy the people's hard-earned money." ”
Elder Chen said, "Helper, do you mean, did we rob this batch of gold and silver?"
Yang Gang Leader took the case, and he said firmly: "We are going to rob this ill-gotten gain, take it from the people, and use it for the people." ”
Elder Xiao said: "Right now, the coast of Fujian is rampant, and we can use this money to recruit civilian warriors and strengthen coastal defenses. ”
Gang Leader Yang smiled and said, "Those who know me, Elder Xiao too." ”
Elder Chen said, "Helper, we must make a plan, and we must not let the thieves carry the silver out of our noses. ”
Elder Xiao said to Gang Leader Yang, "Gang Master, do we want to invite Master Zhao and Master Wuji?"
Gang Leader Yang was silent for a while, and then said to Elder Xiao: "Actually, the safest way is to ask them for help before hijacking the ship and setting off, so as to prevent the risk of news leakage, but if you do that, it will inevitably make the head of Wuji feel that we don't trust them." ”
Elder Xiao nodded, and he said, "Helper, your consideration is right, since we invite fellow Daoists to come to help, we should be honest with each other." ”
Gang Leader Yang said: "Elder Xiao, I think this is good, you invite them to Master Zhao first, I have discussed it with them, and then you go and invite them to Master Wuji." ”
Elder Xiao said: "It's good to save everyone from meeting awkwardly, which is not conducive to the development of the plan. ”
Yang Gang Leader discussed with Zhao Zhangmen and Wuji Boss respectively, and when the official ship sailed into Tanzhou the day after tomorrow, he used a wooden stake to break the boat to block its advance, and ambushed the gang on the shore, prepared more firearms, and burned the color boat. After everything was arranged, we only waited for the arrival of the official ship the day after tomorrow.
As the sun approached, the calm river was silent, and Gang Leader Yang and Elder Xiao led the gang to wait for them, and they only waited for Elder Chen to let go of the rocket, and then set fire to the boat with fire.
And Zhao Zhangmen, Cunyi, and Yufeng were also waiting for the color boat to catch fire, and then went up to kill the guards of the East Factory.
The sound of water on the river gradually sounded, and the three colorful boats moved forward with the help of the dark boat fire, and suddenly a rocket shot out, and the Yang gang leader said to the gang: "Elder Chen has sent a signal, set fire to the boat." ”
For a while, a large number of darts and rockets were shooting at the colorful boat like a torrential rain. Suddenly, the colorful boat ignited a raging fire. The people in the cabin were panicked, Cao Qincheng took the embroidered spring knife and shouted to the guards who were scattering and fleeing, if any of you dare to abandon the ship and escape, I will kill him.
Smoke rose from the ship, and the fire grew louder. Cunyi looked over the ship and saw someone standing at the door muttering something.
He said to Zhao Qingyun: "Senior Zhao, why is that figure on the ship so familiar. ”
Yufeng said, "I think he looks like Elder Chen. ”
Cunyi said: "The fire is so big, what is he doing on the boat?"
Yufeng said, "Let's go up and have a look." ”
Cunyi said: "You don't want to die, the colorful boat will be burned down at any time." ”
Yufeng said: "I want to see what this Elder Chen is braving the fire to get on the boat for. ”
Yufeng used duckweed to point the water and got on the colorful boat. Cunyi had no choice but to follow her up.
When the two of them got close, Elder Chen still stood still motionless.
Cunyi said, "Could it be that Elder Chen has been pointed?"
With a little force, Elder Chen leaned forward and fell to the ground.
Cunyi was shocked, and helped Elder Chen to see that he had a sword in his chest.
Yufeng said, "Why did he die?"
Cunyi frowned, and said to Yufeng: "Feng'er, we have fallen for the trick of the traitors. ”
Yufeng's "ah" sounded, and her jade-like face was full of consternation.
At this time, the gang members who were driving the boat to meet the river shouted in unison: "Oh no, the surname Yang killed our Elder Chen." We can't let them run. ”
Yufeng scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, Elder Chen was not killed by Brother Cunyi. ”
Before she could finish speaking, an old man with silver hair and a poplar staff appeared in front of her.
You go back with me to see the helper, if you don't say half a word, don't blame the old man for being ruthless under the cane.
Yufeng said, "We didn't kill Elder Chen, why did we go back with you." ”
The old man stretched out his hand like a steel tong and grabbed it towards Yufeng.
Cunyi greeted him with his palm and became entangled with him.
