Chapter 13: Frogs, Black Winds
Ling Feng and Sun Shaoying discussed for a long time, and the next day, Ling Feng, Chen Hao and more than a dozen Tsing Yi guards set off. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThis time, they are going to escort a batch of sea salt from the coastal area to Qinghe County. This operation was a decoy, but Ling Feng believed that the other party would definitely bite the hook, without him, the difference in strength was too great. This is a conspiracy, even if the other party knows that there is an ambush, it will definitely come to rob him. It's nothing more than a matter of who calculates higher.
He is not a good person, he is not only doing this for Liu Fu, but also for himself, in order to kill the thieves and obtain essence and chivalry points. Just like last time, Ling Feng killed the powder-faced Langjun. If there is no aftermath of Liu Fu, even if Heifeng Village does not use force, as long as he buys the county order of Qingshan County, he can be wanted. What he needs now is a big tree to protect him, so Liu Fu must not fall. Otherwise, he would have to change his face and run away from home.
This time, Ling Feng discussed with Sun Shaoying and decided to take the waterway instead.
Yuxi County got its name because there is a river called Yuxi in the county, which is a tributary of the Qing River and flows through the county seat. Yuxi is not a big river, but it can also be used by ordinary cargo ships, and after Qingshan County, it can flow into the main stream of the Qinghe River and lead to the county seat.
In the morning, the sun is shining, the breeze is wrinkled, and the waves are rippling. Three cargo ships were on the Yuxi River, slowly sailing forward. Ling Feng sat on the first boat, enjoying the warm breeze, but his hand was caressing the scabbard like a lover, and there was an inexplicable expectation in his expression.
Next to him, Chen Hao shook the folding fan lightly and said with a smile: "Brother Lin seems to be eager to fight?"
Ling Feng said lightly: "Young Master Cousin's title is too serious. β
Chen Hao shook his head and said, "Naturally, I can afford it!" Don't look at me as Xue Yan's cousin or her fiancΓ©, but I don't care about Uncle Liu, and my marriage with Xue Yan is afraid that it is far away, and my status is very embarrassing." However, Brother Lin is valued by General Manager Sun and entrusted with important tasks, and his future is immeasurable. β
Ling Feng just smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying it. He understands that Sun Shaoying may value himself a little and feels that he is a manufacturable material, but Liu Zhenshan may not. Otherwise, it is impossible to really have no resources at all. In his eyes. I am almost sixteen years old, but I have not yet completed my physical training, and after two years, I have missed the best cultivation age, no matter how hard I try, it is just a waste of time.
After a while, Chen Hao walked away, because the two had no topic to talk about.
Zhao Mingchen and the other two Tsing Yi guards next to him glanced at Ling Feng, but they didn't have the slightest idea of approaching the set. It's really that Ling Feng behaves too much like a martial arts idiot, except for practicing martial arts, he doesn't talk to the active person. Everyone drank flower wine together, and when he went down to the restaurant, he never went, and he didn't mean to fit into that circle at all.
The fleet had been traveling for more than half an hour, and a small boat with a cyan dragon flag came from front like a sharp arrow and stopped in front of Ling Feng's ship. At the bow of the boat stood several men in green shirts, all with fierce faces and swords at their waists.
A shirtless bearded man at the head said coldly: "Who are you, why didn't you hang the banner of my Qingjiao Gang?"
The Qingjiao Gang is the largest gang in Qinghe County, and its power is all over the entire Qinghe water system, and it is in charge of various docks. All ships that pass by must pay a protection fee, otherwise they will detain people or goods.
Of course, as long as the money is paid, the Qingjiao Gang will give a pass flag embroidered with frogs to ensure that the road is unimpeded. Therefore, the people of Qinghe generally pay this money, because the amount of protection money is not too much, and no one will anger this behemoth because of this small amount of money.
"We are the guards of the Liu Mansion in Aoba Town, and the money has already been paid at the dock in front. Zhao Mingchen hugged his fists. He was the squad leader and the person in charge of the operation, so it was up to him to answer.
"Liu Mansion in Aoba Town, I haven't heard of it. Don't quibble, pay the money quickly, and make up the pass flag, or else you will bring all your goods back. The bearded man said coldly. If they have a strong background, he naturally doesn't dare to make a mistake. But a mere Liu Mansion is not worth mentioning compared to a behemoth like the Qingjiao Gang.
He was sure that the other party would not dare to resist, and he could only pay the money honestly. These newcomers did not know the rules, and thought that as long as they had a flag, they did not plant the flag on the ship. Therefore, he has already made a lot of extra money with this trick. The top brass of the gang also turned a blind eye to this.
The seven or eight Liu Mansion guards on the two ships behind suddenly had anger on their faces, and the swords in their hands were about to be unsheathed.
"Stop!" Zhao Mingchen hurriedly stopped and hurriedly handed over six taels of silver.
According to the rules of the Qingjiao Gang, there are one tael of passenger ships and two taels of merchant ships, and there are valuable goods on board, so the silver money collected is naturally more. The goods of the Liu Mansion were naturally hidden deeply, and the outside was just some ordinary flour.
"Forget it this time, but next time, your goods will definitely be pulled away. β
The bearded man took the money, dropped the three cyan flags, gave a warning, and left.
Ling Feng looked at the boat of the Frog Jiao Gang and sighed slightly. Although this Frog Gang is hateful, it also bans water thieves, at least the people are safe, even if he has the power to act chivalrous, it is not easy to destroy them.
After the trouble of the Frog Gang, the cyan dragon flag was planted on the boat.
Not long after, the boat passed through Qingshan County and came to Qingl County to join the main stream of the Qinghe River.
Suddenly, two ships approached the front, and the ships were full of people, each dressed in black, holding swords, and with a fierce face.
"It's not good, it's a bandit in Black Wind Village, everyone be careful!"
Zhao Mingchen suddenly exclaimed, he didn't expect these bandits to ambush here.
Ling Feng was still indifferent, because this was expected.
Suddenly, a Tsing Yi guard spotted several vertical reed poles approaching rapidly, and exclaimed, "There are water ghosts, everyone be careful." β
The so-called water spirits are people who are good at water, and they may sneak under the ship and gouge through the bottom of the ship.
There is no point in running, these three ships are loaded with cargo, and the draft is deep, and it is a ship that can't outrun those bandits. A dozen Tsing Yi guards and twelve paddling sailors drew their swords and waited quietly for the broadside battle.
As the two bandit ships approached, one by one the bandits performed light skills and jumped onto the boat. The water spirits in the water also began to climb onto the boat.
At this time, Ling Feng, Chen Hao, Zhao Mingchen and others held swords to meet the six or seven bandits who jumped up first, while the four rowing sailors met those water ghosts.
Ling Feng's expression was grim, and his long sword stabbed rapidly into the chest of a bandit.
The man was about to swing his sword to resist, but a terrifying sword river falling from the starry sky suddenly appeared in his mind, and then his expression was slightly sluggish, and he was hit by a sword in his chest and fell.
"Congratulations, you've killed the bandit and gained 30 Essence and 30 Chivalry. "System beeps. (The bandits in the forging period are generally 20 to 40 essence points according to the level of cultivation.) οΌ
Every time Ling Feng used his sword, one person would fall, and when he killed six people, he found that all the thieves on the ship had been eliminated.
Although there were bandits boarding the ship one after another, they were all killed by Zhao Mingchen and Chen Hao. The martial arts of the two are unexpectedly strong, and they are estimated to be no worse than the powder-faced Langjun.
Ling Feng was quite helpless about their monster robbery, and he couldn't say half a word, because without their containment, he was besieged and tortured to death.
And before those water ghosts could board the ship, they were killed by four sailors who were hidden in the depths, and they became real water ghosts. Alas, with an empty sword, there is no wonder to kill!
