Gu Yanxi came out from behind the desk and asked, "Who did you get the news from?"
"Zhu Ling." Yu Mu took the water that Wang Hai handed to him again and drank it in one gulp, then told him the important things that happened in Jin Yang after his master left.
From his plain words, Gu Yanxi imagined how Ah Zhi looked when she gave orders. She must have been so powerful that people would forget her identity as a woman. "Does that mean Jin Yang is under control?"
"Everything was already under the control of the eldest lady before I left."
Gu Yanxi smiled and said, "We will set off for Songzhu in half an hour. Wanqi, you take all your friends with you."
"yes."
Gu Yanxi quickly wrote another letter and sealed it with the Qisusi’s usual method, “Wang Hai.”
"I am here."
"Send someone to deliver it to General Sun quickly." Songzhu was not far from Shouai Pass, so it would be easier to beat the dog behind closed doors.
Songzhu County is famous for its bamboo. The bamboo produced here is straight, long and very tough. The bamboo products made from it, such as bamboo mats and bamboo baskets, are very popular everywhere. However, this place is considered a wealthy county. As soon as you enter Songzhu, you can see the difference from Pengkou from the boats and various buildings built by the water.
Gu Yanxi stood at the bow. The wind was strong today, making his cloak rustle, but he seemed not to feel the cold. He looked around with his hands behind his back. This was just a transit station for the Chaoli tribe. For convenience, they would definitely set up a place close to the pier. Who knows which place they saw before them was where they hid their silver. They would definitely be cautious and wary of unfamiliar faces.
"Wang Hai."
"I'm here." Wang Hai, who was accompanying the attendant, stepped forward immediately.
"Go ashore and contact the people here. I want the details of the various forces here, and also find a few local tyrants to come over."
"yes."
It is not easy to find a group of people in one place who have already integrated into the place. Gu Yanxi figured out the spider-web-like forces here and pried open the mouths of the local snakes. Only after comparing the two did he find some clues.
Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. Songzhu enjoys the advantages of both. Therefore, there are many fishing companies. From the very beginning, Gu Yanxi locked his sights on the fishing companies that needed to go out to sea to fish. According to the time calculation and the words of the local tyrants, he finally narrowed down to two companies - Linji Fishing Company and Zhenxi Fishing Company.
"Dai Chun, you are familiar with this place. Go and find out which family has the greater possibility. I want the result before dark."
Dai Chun is the head of the Seven Stars Division here. He knows the importance of the matter, so he leaves to investigate without saying a word.
"Notify everyone to get ready and take action at night."
"yes."
With his hand tightly clasping the silver hairpin that he never left, Gu Yanxi closed his eyes and rested. Tonight was going to be a fierce battle, and he also needed to infer the current combat power of the Chaoli tribe from these people.
It was a dark and windy night, with layers of dark clouds blocking the moon completely. A group of people in black clothes and masks quietly surrounded Zhenxi Fishing Shop. Gu Yanxi made a gesture to Shaoyao, who understood and climbed over the wall, jumped onto the roof with a crouched waist, and then lay there motionless. At a glance, she blended into the night, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that there was a person lying there.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Hai and the fifteen people moved. They flew up the wall, then squatted and stretched out their hands. The sixteen people who were waiting below grabbed their hands and jumped into the yard.
In the darkness, a human figure could be seen faintly beneath the wall.
Finally, Gu Yanxi climbed up the wall, took the longbow in his hand, pulled the string to its full length, and shot an arrow towards the main house.
As the distance got closer, the sound of breaking air seemed particularly urgent, the windows were shattered, and the announcement was obvious.
The other party was not panicked by the arrow. The doors of the main house and the east and west wing rooms were all opened. At first glance, they were all dressed neatly.
Gu Yanxi felt something was wrong, and many thoughts flashed through her mind, finally integrating into one: Linji and Zhenxi were a family, and it was exposed when they checked!
We must seize the opportunity!
Gu Yanxi pulled the bow again and shot an arrow, which was equivalent to giving the order to act.
The sixteen people on the wall shot arrows at the same time, and the sixteen people in the yard cooperated tacitly. After the first round of arrow rain, they immediately swung their whips towards the people who dodged the arrows. At this time, the second round of arrow rain arrived.
Bows and arrows are also the strong point of the Chaoli people. Although they are in a lower position than Qisushi, their skills are not weaker than Qisushi. The other part of them who use long swords also greatly reduces the effectiveness of Qisushi's long whip. This is why the two sides are in a stalemate.
Both parties remained silent. They both knew the other's identity. The two sides were in a relationship of life and death, so any words would be superfluous.
Gu Yanxi put away the bow, drew out his sword and flew forward to attack. The person he chose was the enemy's leader.
The opponent obviously had no intention of retreating. When Gu Yanxi moved, he also rushed forward with his long sword. The two of them immediately fought to a standstill. The longer the fight lasted, the more frightened he became.
Gu Yanxi believed that his skills were incomparable to ordinary people. There were only a handful of people in Daqing who could fight with him to this level. If any leader of the Chaoli tribe could have such skills, Daqing would be in danger.
Little did he know that the other party was thinking the same thing. He was a warrior of Chaoli, born with great strength and had no rivals in the tribe. He didn't expect that he would run into such an opponent just when he came to pick up some food!
This man can't be left alive! Both of them had this thought in their minds, and their actions became even more ruthless.
On the rooftop where no one was paying attention, Shaoyao had been feeling the wind direction. Only now did the wind direction become right. She quickly pulled out the cork from the bottle and sprinkled a neat amount of medicine powder. These medicines were the same as those used in the Yu family before. She didn't dare to mix it with a stronger one. The Chaoli people could withstand it, but her own people couldn't even if they had taken the antidote in advance. This was the difference in the physiques of the two tribes.
Although the drug did not knock people out, it obviously slowed down the opponent's reaction. For masters, a slow move can be fatal. What's more, Gu Yanxi was more skilled. He took this opportunity to thrust his sword into the opponent's abdomen. The opponent retreated to avoid it, but when the next sword came, he could only watch the sword pierce into his chest.
Gu Yanxi twisted his wrist and the sword immediately crushed his heart. The man took two steps forward and his mountain-like body fell down.
However, this did not make the Chaoli people retreat, but instead aroused their ferocity. Those who were closer to Gu Yanxi gave up their original opponents and attacked him. At this moment, the sound of weapons clashing was heard outside the courtyard wall.
Gu Yanxi knocked a man over and flew back to the courtyard wall. It was true. Linji and Zhenxi were one family. The Lin family’s support had arrived.
He changed his sword into a whip, picked up a person and smashed him down fiercely. He struck so fiercely that the people of the Chaoli tribe paused for a moment, and then attacked here together, wanting to get rid of the person who posed the greatest threat first.
Wang Hai quickly ordered a few people to jump down, changed the direction of the bows and arrows, and cooperated with this side.
The battlefield was split into two, and the balance of victory that had just tilted towards Qishusi was balanced again.
