Chapter Fifty-Eight: After the Great War
In a house three blocks away from the "Cold Moon Pavilion", Hua Bushi was in a wheelchair and was pushed out of a small door.
It was Yang Jiangyi who pushed the wheelchair, and there was a little girl dressed in a snow-white power suit and short skirt standing in this room, which was Bai Yiling.
Behind the small gate, there is a dark tunnel, but the entrance at the other end is on the high platform of the "Cold Moon Pavilion". "Cold Moon Pavilion" was the central place built by the four major gangs back then, and the most important fortress in Wuyang City, how could there be no secret passage to escape outside?
When Zhu Zhenyan was about to attack the 10,000-level stone steps, Yang Jiangyi escaped with Hua Bushi's secret passage, and had just come out of the exit at this end.
"Master Gongzi, you're here, Ling'er is about to be in a hurry!" Bai Yiling grabbed Hua Bushi's arm and shouted happily.
"Quick, push me to the window!" Hua Bushi commanded, but he looked very dignified.
The "Cold Moon Pavilion" is a hundred feet high, and you can see it very clearly from the window of this cottage.
As soon as Hua Bushi came to the window, he heard an earth-shattering roar, and the fire rushed to the sky, printing his pale cheeks red.
The hundred-zhang high pavilion in mid-air, the tallest building in Wuyang City, was once the most heavily defended and impregnable fortress in the city, and in the huge explosion, it turned into powder in an instant!
The entire high platform, together with the pavilion on the platform, the "Fagui Terrace" behind the pavilion, and the dozens of courtyards, all burst out in almost a breath, forming a mushroom-shaped smoke cloud, which can be seen for hundreds of miles. The tremendous impact of the shaking of the ground caused some of the less sturdy houses and earthen walls to collapse in several surrounding streets.
Hua Bushi borrowed two things from Wu Yinghao in the bedroom of Xiao Fengxian in the "Qifeng Building" the night before, one was the three hundred "frightened crossbowmen" in the "Baoyi Battalion" under his command, and the other was 10,000 catties of gunpowder.
In the army of the Ming Dynasty, firearms can no longer be regarded as rare things, but most of the armies are equipped with some poorly made earthen cannons, bird guns and the like, and their combat performance is not as good as ordinary trebuchets and strong bows and crossbows. In order to defend his ancestral home, Zhao Chengyi, a second-class member of the "Left Squire of the Military Department", was equipped with a rare fine iron cannon, and the five cannons were tall and large, and it was said that the imperial court spent a lot of money to hire Western craftsmen to cast them, which was very valuable.
Although the five fine iron cannons were powerful, they were too bulky and difficult to transport, and Hua Bushi certainly couldn't fight them, but the 10,000 catties of explosives equipped with these cannons were the key to his plan.
After these explosives were secretly transported to the "Cold Moon Pavilion", Hua Bushi ordered people to bury them in the high platform overnight, and before this battle, the families and dependents of various sects were also withdrawn from the Cold Moon Pavilion, leaving only an empty pavilion to attract Zhu Zhenyan to attack.
Before Zhu Zhenyan attacked the meeting hall, Qu Huze had already lit the gunpowder fuse, and he and Shen Ying'er used themselves as bait, just waiting for Zhu Zhenyan to enter the cabinet, calculated the time and jumped out of the window together.
All the change steps in this, Hua Bushi has carefully planned and calculated, of course, foolproof.
Under such a level of explosion, even a peerless master of martial arts would not be able to survive in the "Cold Moon Pavilion", even if it was a copper-headed and iron-armed King Kong, it would be impossible to escape the fate of being crushed!
This kind of destructive power is no longer something that any martial arts in the world can resist!
"Great! We've won! All the villains have been blown up!"
Bai Yiling's face was full of joy, clapping his hands and shouting.
But when she raised her eyes to look at Hua Bushi, she found that this "Master Gongzi" had a sad face, and two lines of tears actually flowed from her eyes.
"Jade burns...... Lives are in misery...... What is the significance of this victory......
He couldn't stop crying at this time, his hands on his chest, his body curled up in a wheelchair, trembling incessantly, like a newborn lamb frightened by thunder.
Although Zhu Zhenyan and a group of underworld masters could not escape death, the hundreds of civilians who were driven to the high platform also could not survive the explosion. Causing these innocent people to lose their lives is contrary to Hua Bushi's consistent concept of life.
Looking at Hua Bushi's tearful and distressed appearance, Yang Jiangyi was suddenly moved, and suddenly a strange feeling suddenly appeared in her heart.
This young master doesn't seem to be as bad as he seems!
This was born into a gang family, his father is a murderer on the underworld, and he has always only used his power to bully others, rob men and women, and is a bad guy who does not learn and has no skills, does he really hide a compassionate heart that worries about the heavens and people?
For the first time, she began to believe that the "dream" that the evil young master had told her in that deserted courtyard the night before might be true.
The rivers and lakes that have been full of bloody slaughter for thousands of years may really be changed by this powerless Hua Bushi!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ if the bloody battle that attacked the Hua family's mansion at night a few days ago only shook the martial arts of Xiangjing, then the battle on February 14 made the entire Daming rivers and lakes a sensation!
One of the thirteen chief deacons of the "World Underworld Alliance", Zhu Zhenyan, who ranked sixteenth in the Black Wind Record, led six super masters in the top 100 of the Black Wind Record, as well as dozens of famous figures in the underworld in various realms, and was completely wiped out in Wuyang City, a small city in the remote Xiangxi region! Zhu Zhenyan, who was known for his wisdom, was also killed on the battlefield, and his bones were gone!
Their opponents are just a few local gangs in this small city, the "Three Evils of Xiangxi". Moreover, the battle of "Cold Moon Pavilion" that Zuihou decided the outcome was not actually taken by these three major leaders themselves, but by several second-generation young masters in the sect who presided over the battle!
The names of the sects "Iron Sword Sect", "Monkey Gang", and "Evil Dog Gate" spread throughout the two regions and thirteen provinces overnight, and almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew and knew it.
Naturally, some details about this battle cannot be hidden. With the help of the government, the "Three Great Evils" used crossbowmen and a large amount of gunpowder to design the assassination of underworld masters, which is also well known.
The three major gangs in Wuyang City dared to collude with the government, willingly became the eagle dog of the imperial court, and joined forces with the officers and soldiers to slaughter the righteous people in the rivers and lakes, and they have become the enemies of all underworld shili. The "World Alliance" has issued a killing order, calling on the underworld people in all realms not to show mercy to the "Three Great Evils of Xiangxi", and must be exterminated with all their might!
It's just that although this killing order was issued early, none of the underworld people really did it, and even the other twelve chief deacons in the "World Alliance" seemed to be unaware of this matter and turned a blind eye to it completely. A shili who can wipe out Zhu Zhenyan's entire army, no one will be full and fine, and it will be easy to provoke. Although the refined iron veins in the west of Wuyang City were very attractive, with the lessons of the past, none of them were confident that they could swallow it in one gulp, after all, they were not much stronger than Zhu Zhenyan.
Moreover, the reinforcements of the Wudang and Emei factions arrived in Wuyang City more than ten days later. The two factions have openly declared that if anyone dares to invade this city again, they will be enemies of the two factions and will join forces to destroy them! With two of the seven major factions of the Central Plains joining forces to defend it, whoever wants to attack the idea of the refined iron ore vein will not be kicked in the head by a donkey.
The two major sects attach great importance to their own descendant sects in Wuyang City, and there are dozens of top masters among the reinforcements sent this time, all of which are the choice of the moment. Even if Zhu Zhenyan and the underworld masters under his command all come back from the dead, there is nothing to fear. The head of Emei, the "Painstaking Master", even came to this small city in Xiangxi to visit her beloved disciple Shen Ying'er.
The "Iron Sword Sect" and the "Monkey Gang", from the head of the sect to the disciples of the gang, were all flattered, and they held a big banquet for several days.
Of course, at the banquet, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention that the reinforcements of the two factions would not arrive until more than ten days after the war.
Everyone is a ** lake, no one will be so uninteresting, which pot is not opened.
The territory of the "Heavenly Eagle Society" was quickly divided by the "Three Great Evils", and the Sun family's share of the mining veins in the west of the city was also divided equally by the three gangs. Although the "Iron Sword Sect" and the "Divine Monkey Gang" had the support of the masters of the Wudang and Emei factions respectively in Wuyang City at this time, which were far stronger than the "Evil Dog Sect", the heads of the two factions still agreed to divide these interests into three equal parts, and each of the three gangs accounted for a share.
Hua Tianxiong and the "Evil Dog Gate" are powerful, after this battle, they have all deeply understood. Having such an ally in Wuyang City is still very important to them. Although Wudang and Emei factions are strong, they are not always reliable, if they are really in danger, the "three evils" can rely on their own liliang the most.
Another reason for the bifurcation of the veins is that the "Evil Dog Gate" has mastered the smelting method of iron ore. This matter has to start with Wu Yinghao, the chief adult of Qipin.
Wu Yinghao is the most direct beneficiary of this battle, and for him, this is simply luckier than picking up the ingots falling from the sky. The heads of dozens of underworld giants are enough for him to be promoted and make a fortune, and he will rise to prominence. Especially Zhu Zhenyan, who had defeated tens of thousands of encirclement and suppression officers in the first battle of Qinglongzhai in Lujing, the Ming Dynasty had long wanted to get rid of it quickly, and the reward marked was as high as 50,000 taels of silver!
Of course, the 50,000 taels of silver will not all fall into Wu Yinghao's hands, after removing the dots and layers of deductions everywhere, he only got more than 10,000 taels, but this is already an incredible windfall. Moreover, he has made great achievements in battle, and has spent a lot of money to dot the joints, and the imperial court's appreciation of Wu Yinghao is growing day by day, and he immediately appointed him as the deputy chief soldier of the Hunan Army in Changsha Prefecture, and he will take office on the same day, which is the official rank of Zheng Liupin.
From the total of "from seven products" to the thousand total of "six products", Wu Yinghao has been promoted three levels in a row, just like soaring clouds.
