Chapter Fifty-Eight: Strange Things

The ironclad ship is one of the three major types of ships of the imperial court sailors, the surface is covered with iron and stone outside, like a tortoise shell, and the hull is framed with artillery inside, a single ironclad ship, there are no less than 100 cannons, and the firepower is not weak Shaliaolou, but it costs a lot, and with the financial resources and manpower of the imperial court, there are only more than a dozen ships.

These four behemoths are coming violently, I don't know friends and enemies, fortunately, the Shaliaolou ship has already broken through the blockade of the centipede ship, and by its degree alone, few ships in the world can do it, and the only weakness of this ironclad ship is that the degree is quite slow, and it can only be used to attack the fortification on the water, so Wu Zhang and others have a lot of time, the artillery roared a few times, and suddenly the people in the rivers and lakes who were still raging on the centipede ship whistled, and they retreated one after another-

Xia Ziyi saw that the general trend was gone, and stared at Zhou Qian viciously, carrying Chen Si and Ah Rui, who were seriously injured, fell into the river with a jump, and were rescued by several small boats that had been prepared for a long time-

"Zhou Qian, today's grace, the four Kou on the sea remember, he will be rewarded in the future!"

Zhou Qian stood with his sword in his hand, and was speechless for a long time, then stumbled and sat on the plank, with a long cry in his heart, 'It's good to scare him away!'

Zhou Qian is not a fairy, as early as the King of the Pure Sea Pirates have consumed a lot of energy when attacking the ship, plus the decisive battle with the four Kou on the sea is not lightly injured, after all, the enemy is not a crooked melon and cracked jujube, but a sea master who has been crisscrossing the West Sea for many years, martial arts are also first-class in the rivers and lakes, on the mind, means, it is even more warping, Zhou Qian can win, win in the carelessness and disdain of the four Kou, win in the surprise of the swordsmanship, win in the magic of the spell.

Why don't you use a flying sword? After all, Zhou Qian is not a real immortal, and it takes a huge amount of effort to make a flying sword, and this time is enough for Sikou to kill him seven or eight times, and as for the spell law, it is even more slow, so there is no need to mention it.

"Zhou Shaoxia, is this the ship of the imperial court?" Wu Zhang asked, his attitude suddenly changed, and he became more respectful, after all, the strong in this world are respected.

"Leave them alone, we'll go ours. Zhou Qian shook his head and said, if it is not necessary, he does not want to have a relationship with the people of the imperial court, which is also common sense that everyone in the rivers and lakes has, and the timing of these ironclad ships is so coincidental, but the fool does not believe it.

Only a hundred zhang away from the nearest ironclad ship, the two sides were silent very tacitly, Zhou Qian squinted, and also noticed that there was a scar on the skull of the leader of the ironclad ship, and the scarred man was holding a single-tube bronze telescope, and seemed to have noticed Zhou Gan, and nodded.

Zhou Qian returned the salute, and the two ironclad ships in front passed through the Shaliaolou ship, and together with the two ironclad ships ushered in behind, they caught the pirates.

Suddenly the cannon rumbled, the fire shone on the river, these imperial warships were full of firepower, coupled with the low morale of the pirates under the King of the Pure Sea, they quickly sank more than a dozen centipede ships, and only less than ten wolf bรจi escaped.

"Why didn't you ...... just now, sir?" an adjutant couldn't help but ask. "If we annihilate this group of Jianghu people, let alone defeat the vitality of the rivers and lakes for ten years, it will be very helpful for our future plans!"

The man with the scar shook his head and said regretfully: "Now the government and the opposition are staring at this treasure of the First Emperor, if we evil this group of Jianghu people, it will be very unfavorable to our next plan, let it go first, and there will be a chance in the future!"

The sunset star rises, the jade rabbit rises in the east, the Tongtian River at night is like a tamed beast, slowly squinting its eyes, the water is slow and gentle, and the Shaliao Building is brightly lit, the wine glasses collide, shouting, joking and shouting, it seems that the fight during the day has not brought any impact to everyone.

But there were many people missing, there were originally forty-six people on the boat, and now there are only about thirty people left, all of them are injured, but fortunately, this group of people has long been no longer concerned about their own life and death, let alone other people's lives, but because of the victory during the day, the morale is quite high.

There were about twenty people at the banquet, all of whom were uninjured or lightly injured, but there were also three or two drunken guys who dragged their seriously injured bodies to feast.

Wine is an old flower carving, it is the private treasure of the Dragon King of the West Sea, the wine is mellow, the taste is soft, the dish is a first-class good dish, all kinds of treasures are served on the sea delicacies like flowing water, the sea treasures pattern shrimp a pair of big turtles are the size of a teenager's arm, the bowl of shellfish, the crystal shark fin is like powder, the sea cucumber, the frogs, the dried scallops are rare treasures in the Middle Earth, this group of people in the rivers and lakes eat a mouth full of oil, if Zhou Qian is here, I am afraid to talk about it, eat a lot, but he is frowning on the deck staring at the river, I don't know what he is thinking.

The Imperial Court, the King of the Pure Sea, the Inner Ghost, the unknown treasure of the Qin Emperor, and the strange fog...... These things are enough for Zhou Qian to exhaust his brain, and he no longer has a trace of appetite, and his group of people are already secretly playing chess all the way, how can they seem to be known to everyone now? People in the rivers and lakes, they really can't help themselves! Zhou Qian sighed helplessly.

"What are you thinking?" Qiqiao'er laughed and was about to drill into Zhou Qian's arms.

Zhou Qian grabbed Qiqiao'er's hand expressionlessly and said, "I didn't bring any money today." โ€

"Hey~" Qiqiao'er was suddenly disappointed and said, "You are the second master of the swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, how can you not bring money?"

"I don't remember that I have the title of the second master of the swordsman, and you should stay away from me, don't think that I let you go in Chang'an back then, and now there is nothing to do with you, but I clearly remember that you swore not to steal for the rest of your life, and the result? In recent years, the reputation of the female snitch has become louder and louder, and you have to think about it for me! Who packed the ticket in front of the six doors and let you out?" Zhou Qian sighed, regretting the decision he made back then, if he hadn't done something for the Criminal Department over the years, maybe Six Doors would have arrested him as an accomplice.

"Cut! The "Fragments of the Food Sutra" I gave you is also one of the stolen goods, and I haven't seen you return it in the past few years!"

"That can't be confused!" Zhou Qian said awe-inspiringly: "This is a rare treasure, what is the use of these laypeople who don't know how to cook, such a treasure is naturally lived by virtuous people!"

Qiqiao'er rolled her eyes, "Why do you want to mix the rivers and lakes when you like cooking so much, how good it is to be a cook!"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Zhou Qian sighed, and finally met a confidant in his heart, 'I want to too, this is not allowed by the master!'

"You say, if we can really get the Qin Emperor's treasure this time, how much can I get?" Qiqiao'er came over, and her eyes turned into the shape of an ingot.

"What do you want so much money for?" Zhou Qian was puzzled: "The money you stole is enough for you to spend eight lifetimes!"

Qiqiao'er pouted, pitiful, "You don't understand, money is never enough for women, the most expensive rouge in the Yuge Pavilion costs a box of 1,000 taels of silver, and the most comfortable brocade costs 500 taels of silver, Zhu Hai, bracelets, shoes, food, drink, use, maintenance, that doesn't cost anything, do you think everyone has a rich master like you?"

"My food and clothing for half a year is not as good as the box of rouge you bought!" Zhou Qian grinned.

"That's not ......"

Suddenly a terrible scream came from the boat, Zhou Qian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly ran to the place where he screamed, Qiqiao'er followed with a small foot, turned the staircase, and suddenly saw his eldest brother Wang Hu was about to rush up, and he had no time to think about it, Zhou Qian hurriedly asked: "Brother Hu'er, who did you hear the voice just now?"

"I don't know, but it's coming from the third floor!" Wang Hu said with a frown.

Zhou Gan's sense of uneasiness became more and more obvious, since he knew that there was a mole in the ship, his spirit was tense, and he had been worried that someone would do something from it, but he didn't expect this premonition to come true.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them rushed to the third floor, Zhou Qian remembered that there were several seriously injured people in the rivers and lakes who were recuperating here, and when they saw someone coming downstairs, a rough voice came from upstairs: "Who is coming?"

"I'm Zhou Qian!" Zhou Qian heard the voice of sumo wrestler Shi Si, his heart was a little calm, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"It's the old bustard Hu lady, you better see for yourself. Shi Si hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"It's the fourth room on the right. โ€

The door to the fourth room had been pushed open, and the faint light seemed to reflect a little bit of blood.

When Zhou Qian entered the door, a thick bloody aura came to his face, and he immediately gasped.

The bed was stained with blood, and a little bit of blood dripped down the filigree to the ground, and a female corpse was faintly lying inside.

"Mrs. Hu was originally naked, and I covered this quilt. Mr. Lou Yuxiao, the head of Kongtong, said on crutches, he was cut off his calf by stone projectiles splashed with sawdust in the naval battle during the day, and the blood flowed nonstop, and the old man's physique was not as good as that of young people, and he didn't like to be lively, so he stayed on the third floor.

"I live next door to Mrs. Hu, and I was going to go down to ask for a drink, but I didn't expect to hear a cry as soon as I went out, and rushed in, and as a result-" The big old and rough Shi Si also sighed.

There is another person in the house, it is Lin Xiaofeng, the water moon sword, a master among the younger generation in the rivers and lakes, he usually likes to hold a fan, and his self-created falling moon swordsmanship is also a must, but at this moment, his face is pale, and there are traces of water droplets on his forehead, as if he was frightened by the scene in the brocade quilt.

Zhou Qian's heart sank, and he didn't avoid suspicion, and slowly lifted the corner of the brocade quilt, and suddenly blood gushed out of his head, as if a beast named Angry was about to devour himself.

Hu Niangzi's body is covered with fresh scars, bruises, and the flesh on the scars is rolled out by hooks, Zhou Qian knows that this is a kind of torture that has been popular in the rivers and lakes recently, called 'Mandarin Duck Hook Knife,' This knife is covered with dense small hooks, and if you cut into the human body and then bring it out, it will bring out a large piece of skin and flesh, especially on the twin peaks that Hu Niangzi is proud of, almost all of them will become a black hole of flesh and skin, and as for the lower body, it will be cut......

The swordsman's hand never trembled, but Zhou Qian closed the brocade quilt tremblingly at the moment, watching Hu Niangzi's eyes gouged out, distorted and mutated face, for the first time, such a strong and eager to kill someone, or rather, it was no longer human.

At this moment, there was a dense sound of footsteps downstairs, presumably the high-rollers who were eating and drinking rushed up at this moment......
