Chapter 163: The Siege of Xiakou
After resting on the river for half the night, the fleet set off from Chibi again. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
After last night's battle, floating on the Ulin Shoal were all the corpses of river thieves who had been hunted by the Tangmen fleet last night.
And the head of the bandit, known as the "little overlord of martial arts" Sun Bofu, was carried by a spear and stood on the Wulin beach.
The merchant ships that came and went all applauded the clean-up of the bandits.
Some people knew that it was the Yunmeng Tangmen who exterminated the bandits, but no one knew that it was the assassin Feihuo who took the head of Sun Bofu.
Perhaps the Assassin is silent, the hero is nameless, and the hidden Assassin is even more nameless.
The fleet traveled down the river for about two hours, and when it was close to noon, it arrived at the important town of Ezhou, under the Xiakou City of Huanghu Mountain.
On the Yellow Bird Mountain, there is also a building named after the Baling City Tower, called the "Yellow Crane Tower", which is a military facility for the purpose of lookout, but it is also magnificent, looking at the entire Jiangnan and Jiangbei.
That Xiakou City, originally the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Wu's important town, in the previous dynasty, because overlooking the Yangtze River, the Han River two rivers, guarding the main road, the previous dynasty is expanded into one, later called Ezhou City.
Feihuo stood on the deck and took a look at the scenery on both sides of the river, the north bank of the river, which is known as the "river city", the prosperous town, the crowds of people, the boats passing through, just like the style of an inland shipping city.
However, they didn't have time to stay here, and there were still nearly a thousand miles away from the dragon city and Jiangdu.
Because of Sun Bofu's incident, it was delayed for some time, and the originally expected arrival time may be delayed a lot.
"What are you looking at?"
Pei Gang appeared behind Spitfire, although the two of them drank a lot last night, but both of them were in good spirits.
"It's nothing, it's just looking at the river view, I've been here many times before, because I need to go through the Han River to get home, and I need to change the course from here!" said Feihuo, pointing to the "Yellow Crane Tower" above Xiakou City, "I remember going to that building a few times before, but now I don't remember it!"
"Don't remember?" Pei Gang asked with some confusion, "Was it when you were very young?"
"No, even if you count it, it hasn't been like seven or eight years, but I can't remember who took me there, so I ended up with the nameless name 'Spitfire'!"
But he felt that Pei Gang was very pure, even a pure martial artist, and he never did one thing with selfishness, even if it was an evil skill, it was to prevent that evil skill from reappearing in the world, not to take it for himself.
"So that's the case, I think why your name is so strange!" Pei Gang coughed a few times, his condition has been slightly better recently, but because of a few vain actions, it has made the condition worse again.
"You have a problem, Yunmeng Tang Sect doesn't have half a cure?" Feihuo asked with concern, although Pei Gang had nothing to do with him, and he still had the intention of killing him, after all, he could be regarded as having taught him kung fu, and he could be regarded as a "teacher of a day".
Pei Gang forced a smile and said: "No, this problem is already a terminal disease, and there is no cure, but thanks to the strength of Zhu Yeqing yesterday, I feel much better, at least I can last until the end of the Dragon City game!"
Feihuo was speechless, and Pei Gang was only twenty-six or seventeen, but the tone of his words was like a dying old man, waiting for death to come.
"Boy, you still have hope, so don't easily change your original heart, are you a brave and ruthless person?" Pei Gang looked at Feihuo coldly, the meaning of his words was naturally because Feihuo was constantly fighting with Gao Liancheng.
Spitfire laughed for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know what my heart is, it's just that I didn't know how to make enemies before, but if the enemy has already come to the door, I don't have to fight back!"
"What's more, Pei Gang, you have already handed over such an important matter to me, I naturally won't slack off, isn't it the best way to keep him away from the secrets of other islands when he hits that Gaolian City!"
Pei Gang sighed slightly, it is indeed like what Spitfire said, defeating Gao Liancheng is the most effective way directly.
But that doesn't mean it's the only way to drive Gao Liancheng back. Wouldn't it be better not to conflict with Gao Liancheng?
But this method is too difficult to find, and even everyone in the Tang Sect may not be able to do it together, not because Gao Liancheng is too strong, but because the strength of the Gao family behind Gao Liancheng should not be underestimated.
Feihuo always paid attention to the situation behind him, and such words naturally could not be heard by Gao Liancheng.
Fortunately, Gao Liancheng, although Xuancheng himself drinks well on weekdays, but he doesn't seem to have any resistance to that bamboo Yeqing, and after drinking that big altar, he actually fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet.
On the surface of the river not far away, Spitfire noticed a strange thing, the river was obviously very wide, and several large ships were actually lying in the center, anchoring in the middle of the river, preventing the passing ships from passing.
Looking at the flag on the ship, it turned out to be the banner of the imperial court, and it was the government of Ezhou, which was blocking the shipping lane, but I didn't know what the reason was.
On both sides of the government boats, they were already full of boats that wanted to cross the river, but none of them were allowed to pass.
"What's the matter, how could the government come forward to block the shipping lane, they have no reason to do this now?" Feihuo couldn't help but wonder, Pei Gang walked to the bow of the boat and looked at the situation ahead.
A small boat was turning back from the blockade, Pei Gang hurriedly stepped forward, called out to the boatmen on the boat, and asked, "Brother Tai, may I ask what is going on ahead, to block the river and prevent so many ships from passing?"
"You don't know, the government issued an order in the morning, because the bandits in Wulin Beach have been cleared, and the remnants have already mixed into Jiangcheng, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so the ships coming and going are strictly checked!"
"Isn't that the Sun Bofu from last night?" Feihuo finally understood the thing he and Xiao Bu were wondering about last night, why the little overlord Sun Bofu of Wulin had been entrenched for so long and no one had cleared it, there was only one reason, that is, Sun Bofu had collusion with the government, and now it was just a real thing.
"It seems that we have touched the interests of some people!"
"It seems that this is necessary!" Pei Gang frowned slightly, "But dealing with the government is not something we martial arts people are good at, if it is Yuezhou, it is fine, but this is Ezhou!"
"So what, sooner or later, this place will become the sphere of influence of my Yunmeng Tang Sect, and when the time comes, it will not be as simple as building a medical hall here!" Tang Beiyi's voice came from behind, and the Tang Sect Master still walked out of the cabin and walked to the bow of the ship in high spirits.
"Just let me meet the yamen of this Jiangcheng!" (To be continued.) )
