"Wow", the middle-aged woman spat out a mouthful of blood, breath cleared, and immediately shouted desperately: "Leave me alone, save the little girl..."
"Who caught the little girl?" Jiang Shuihan asked.
Jiang Shuihan was inside the house to help the younger sister's mother, but Meng Yuanyun and others did not enter the house, and directly inquired about the news outside.
Meng Yuanyun grabbed an old man who looked like an old fisherman and asked, "Uncle, what happened here?"
"It's so miserable. For some reason, a group of thieves suddenly came, robbed the girl of this family, and killed the old Li's family..."
"Did you see it? How many people?"
The old man hurriedly said: "No, I heard the sound of fighting here, and I didn't dare to go out! There are a lot of people, probably in the dozen or so..."
Meng Yuanyun stepped forward and asked, "Did you hear in which direction the thief fled?"
"Listening to the sound, it seems to be rushing to the west pier..."
At this time, Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Shuihan also came out of the house. The middle-aged woman was seriously injured. Although she was sustained by the [Life] Department of True Qi, she did not know martial arts and had no foundation of internal strength. After explaining the appearance of the culprit leader, she died.
"Someone went to the West Wharf..." Meng Yuanyun said immediately when he saw the two of them coming out.
"Follow me!" Meng Yuanyun took the lead and rushed out.
The five of them didn't go far, and the river was already in sight in the distance!
when! when! when!
An alarm bell sounded suddenly from a sentry post, but after a brief clash of weapons, everything fell into silence again.
But those three bells had already been broadcast far away, and Jiang Shuihan and the others heard it right away...
"It's the alarm bell from the sentry post at the West Wharf! There is a curfew in the village, someone must have broken into the village to go out..." Jiang Shuihan explained aloud. The people's feet quickly counted, and they chased after him.
Needless to say, those who hurt Zhong Sunliang and kidnapped Li Xiaomei must have broken into the village there!
Ye Qingxuan heard the bell, and immediately left everyone behind, and rushed out with all his strength. With the bell as a guide, the enemy's direction could be determined.
Meng Yuanjun followed closely behind, Jiang Shuihan again, Ruhua and Wan Guotai were left far behind.
With the sound of the warning bell, disciples of the Dajiang League immediately lit torches in all directions and rushed towards this side. But the distance was still far away, and the direction of the west pier was pitch black, and everyone's hearts sank. With such a clear alarm bell, no disciple lit a torch to patrol. Maybe all the disciples on duty here have already been murdered.
Ye Qingxuan hurried forward with all his strength, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the sentry tower on the small slope in the distance.
The sentry tower, where disciples of the Dajiang League were supposed to be on duty, was completely quiet at this moment.
Ye Qingxuan knew something was wrong, so he jumped up. Go to the watchtower.
It didn't take a moment for Ye Qingxuan to come downstairs. The sentry tower at a height of three zhang was quiet and lonely. It didn't hear the slightest sound, and it didn't feel any movement around it.
Ye Qingxuan jumped up, and landed in the sentry tower lightly like a swallow spreading its wings.
The scene that entered the scene made his mood, which was originally burning with anger, turn cold.
The three disciples of the Dajiang League guarding the tower fell to the ground, their blood staining the sentry tower red, obviously being attacked by the enemy.
On the table in the observation deck, a letter was placed in an even shape, one corner of which was pressed by a copper paperweight.
On the envelope was written "Jiang League Leader's Personal Invitation", and there was another line of small characters on the left corner, which read "Chijiao's help Yao Dingsheng pays homage to me".
Chi Jiao helps Yao Dingsheng!
"Nine-headed Flood Dragon King" Yao Dingsheng!
It turned out to be this underworld giant.
It seems that the other party is targeting the Dajiang League, not my brothers. The real intention of the other party is to spy on the reality of the Dajiang League. occur.
Ye Qingxuan glanced at the pitch-black Gunlong River.
Wordy! call-
The sound of sails unfurling and being blown by the wind can be heard on the river.
This is the sound of setting sail.
The enemy is about to sail away!
Ye Qingxuan turned over and jumped down the watchtower, at this time Meng Yuanyun and Jiang Shuihan had already arrived under the watchtower.
Ye Qingxuan's falling figure stepped off the sentry tower, turned in the air and threw himself towards the dock, and at the same time shouted in a deep voice: "The dock! It's Yao Dingsheng from Chijiao's gang!"
Jiang Shuihan frowned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he rushed forward without stopping, and said, "Let's catch up!"
The three of them galloped to the river, and saw several corpses of Dajiang League disciples hidden in the corner. Obviously, the other party had support staff outside. The west pier is in my own hands.
This was a premeditated plan by the other party. Judging from the fact that the brothers on our side had already been murdered before they could even make a warning sound, the other party's people were definitely good hands.
Jiang Shuihan's expression returned to calm, and he glanced at the corpse of Brother Da Jiangmeng. Grief flashed in his eyes, the chill in his eyes became stronger, and he became calmer.
"Get on the boat!" Jiang Shuihan flew towards a shuttle-shaped clipper, which was specially made by the Dajiang League.
Ye Qingxuan then flew over.
Clang!
The Bi Luo sword came out of its sheath, a chain of swords flashed in the air, and the fast boat's fastened cable to the shore was cut immediately.
Meng Yuanjun also fell off the boat...
The three of them didn't use the oars, they directly pressed their feet, using their kung fu to force them, like dozens of wrestlers rowing in a hurry, the fast boat flew out like an arrow off the string, and sailed into the river.
"Wait we—"
Ruhua, who was carrying a Zen stick on the bank, and Wan Guotai, who was holding a Qinglong Yanyue knife, shouted in unison, and chased wildly along the river bank.
A silver dragon attacked from the boat and rolled up Ruhua and Wan Guotai. Amidst the screams, Ye Qingxuan swept the two of them onto the fast boat with a magic whisk...
In a blink of an eye, the Clippers had melted into the dark night.
…
Cuitong Mountain.
At the sentry tower where the homicide occurred, several important figures of Jiang Tao's confidantes from the Dajiang League gathered together, and everyone looked at the letters on the case table with frowning faces.
Jiang Tao took his eyes back from the elite disciples of the Dajiang League who were searching for traces of the enemy outside, looked at the surrounding veterans of the Dajiang League, and said in a deep voice: "The forces of the Chijiao Gang have always been densely distributed in the middle and upper reaches of the river. A tributary. It has always been the same as the Chijiao gang. It is unexpected that Yao Dingsheng's appetite has become so big now that he even stretched out his hand to the Gunlong River."
Meng Dahai picked up the envelope on the table and said in a deep voice, "The weirdest thing about this matter is that the Chijiao Gang didn't intend to negotiate at all before. The business of our Dajiang League ended when we reached the edge of the river. After entering the Dajiang River Basin, the Chijiao Gang and us neither had any conflicts nor did we have any mutual interests. Why did this happen all of a sudden? It’s a bit inexplicable for Yao Dingsheng to disregard the rules of the world, and he is not afraid of the accusations of the heroes of the world. Is it the censure of the court?"
As a giant underworld, the Chijiao Gang occupies almost all the water and land transportation in the middle and upper reaches of the great river.
With his background in the green forest, Yao Dingsheng was able to compete with "General Zhendong" Yu Pohai's Longjiang Society, which in itself is enough to show his own superior strength and outstanding ability.
It's just that Yao Dingsheng's goal has always been to defeat the "Longjiang Society" and control the entire river basin, but now he is doing the opposite. Focusing on the Dajiang League
This caused an inexplicable sense of unease in the hearts of everyone in the Great River League.
Jiang Tao's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Don't talk about anything else. The problem this time is actually more serious than imagined. Our strength has developed too rapidly recently, and our skyrocketing wealth is very easy to be coveted by outsiders... For a long time, relying on Lao Meng and Brothers, the security of the main altar of Cuitong Mountain has always been considered strict, but today, the enemy can not only come to the island calmly, kill people, but also rob our people, which shows our strength The defense is still not strong enough. Over the past few years, our life is getting better and better, but our vigilance is getting lower and lower! Starting today, Lao Meng, you are still in charge, strengthening the security of the main altar and the village!"
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building.
After a while, only Jiang Tao and Meng Dahai were left in the watchtower.
Jiang Tao kept Meng Dahai on purpose, saying that he was studying the security work of the village, but in fact, both of them are human beings, so there are naturally some things to explain in private.
Meng Dahai's face became even more gloomy.
Jiang Tao sighed, and said slowly: "Old Meng, it seems that this time we are going to go through a real test..."
Meng Dahai smiled wildly, and said: "Money touches people's hearts! He Chijiao Gang has taken a fancy to our hot business, and it will be a matter of time to deal with us, and not only the Chijiao Gang, but also many small gangs in my opinion. The gangs are also staring at the meat in our pot, we only have two ways to go, one is to turn over the business, the whole faction joins the Chijiao Gang, and the other is to fight hard with them and fight for a piece of the sky... "
Jiang Tao said in a deep voice: "There are not two roads, there is only one road, and that is to fight with them! The Dajiang League is not my Jiang Tao's Dajiang League. It is the world that our brothers fought together. How can we hand it over to others? Besides He, Yao Dingsheng, refused to give an ultimatum, and directly killed the killer, obviously relying on his strength, he was going to eat our Dajiang League raw instead of accepting it! Hmph, Yao Dingsheng dared to come, did he think that our Dajiang League is a vegetarian?" Then Jiang Tao's expression became gloomy, and he said slowly: "Old Meng, we brothers don't speak dark words, and I don't worry about people from outside coming to grab our jobs. I just worry that some people in the Dajiang League are not stable and greedy doesn't belong to them. s things… "
Meng Dahai was stunned when he heard the words, and then said slowly with a serious face: "Lao Jiang, you mean that there is something wrong with our insiders?"
Jiang Tao nodded.
You must know that since the establishment of the main altar of the Dajiang League, because Meng Dahai was born in the army, it is customary to keep a close eye on the confidentiality work on the island. Enter. But now the enemy can not only come to the island calmly, kill people, rob people, and leave with ease, if it is not led by personnel who are very familiar with the internal layout of the Dajiang League General Forum, it would be impossible to come and go so freely, which shows There are traitors who secretly collaborate with the enemy in the general altar of the Dajiang League, and their status should not be too low.
Meng Dahai pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, but Jiang Tao said directly: "Lao Meng, there is no possibility that our brothers have problems. In the past few years, everyone has settled down here if they want wind and rain, and they have already settled down. Wife, I think this time it should be the incident of those guys who were emptied by us!"
The Dajiang League was originally a gang alliance composed of more than a dozen small sects. Although the leader of the alliance is Jiang Tao, the leaders of each faction still have a detached position. Has its own cronies.
Three years ago, Jiang Tao used his cronies to seize power in one fell swoop. The forces opposing him in the alliance were eliminated. He took the power into his own hands, but after the past two years, the wealth and power of the Dajiang League have skyrocketed, and although the life of these faction leaders is dozens of times better than before, there are still people who are jealous of Jiang Tao's status. People exist, and there are still people who fantasize about replacing them. These people are very likely to be traitors who collude with outsiders and dream of seizing the power of the Dajiang League.
A cold light flashed in Meng Dahai's eyes. Sen Ran said, "Okay, leave this matter to me!"
Because of the sudden crisis, Jiang Tao is going to sort out the potential threats in the alliance again, regardless of whether they are really in collusion with the Chijiao Gang. The forces that followed him were completely eradicated.
Jiang Tao, rising from the reckless, with ruthless methods and decisive strategies, can definitely be called a hero.
…
The water vapor on the Gunlong River at night is humid and cold, and the clippers are speeding on the river. The damp cold air was blowing in front of me.
The boat, driven by the five people with all their strength, glides on the river at an extremely fast speed.
As a tributary of the largest river system in the Shenwu Continent, the Gunlong River itself is already extremely vast. Its area starts from Yunmeng Mountain in the southeast of Yunzhou, crosses the southern part of Jingzhou, connects to the Manjiang River in the Shuman forest in the south, and flows northwards. Connected to the great river, the water and the sky are connected, the blue waves are vast, and the weather is myriad, but if you want to find a boat in such waters, it is like looking for a person in the desert.
Fortunately, there are very few boats at night, and the sound of distant water waves can still be heard, everyone chases after the sound, and will never lose it.
And Ye Qingxuan knew that he would be able to find the other party.
Because the enemy's big ship was slowing down, it seemed that they had spotted the small boat chasing from behind and deliberately led them over.
It seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable.
The other party dared to kill and rob people in the main altar of the Dajiang League, with such arrogance, how could they allow a small boat to chase them straight
The opponent went straight down the waters of the Gunlong River, and has already passed Tonglu City. Although it is still within the sphere of influence of the Dajiang League, the opponent obviously does not pay attention to the medium-sized sects in this place, and the speed of the boat slowly slows down. The big two-masted ship in the distance gradually expanded in front of my eyes.
At this time, the lights on the ship were brightly lit.
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but sneered, and said to the brothers around him: "Did you see it? The other party showed us the chariots and horses, and set up a scene of open confrontation. Obviously, we didn't take our brothers seriously." .”
Meng Yuanjun laughed, and said coldly: "That's really great! Let them know how powerful our brothers are later!"
The enemy is so confident that they definitely regard Jiang Tao, Meng Dahai and others as the main force of the Dajiang League, and they will not know the arrival of Ye Qingxuan and others. Because of Ye Qingxuan's appearance on the blood list, everyone became extremely cautious in their actions, and the news was blocked very well. Even Jiang Shuihan's father, Jiang Tao, only got the news when they arrived in Tonglu City, knowing that they had arrived. time.
As for the Chijiao Gang spying on the Dajiang League at this time, it was just a coincidence.
The enemy attacked the Dajiang League, on the one hand, they overestimated their own strength, and at the same time they underestimated the Dajiang League. This time, taking advantage of the opponent's indolence, he taught this arrogant and arrogant Chijiao Gang a good lesson.
Ruhua vigorously waved the Zen stick in her hand, and asked excitedly: "Can you let go and fight?"
Jiang Shuihan said firmly: "Don't act rashly before getting on the boat! Save people first!"
Everyone froze for a moment, then nodded at the same time.
At the same time, everyone looked at Wan Guotai, who had been silent all this time, and saw that his eyes were narrowed slightly, his right hand was full of murderous intent, and his right hand was tightly clenched with the Qinglong Yanyue Saber. so peaceful.
He was silent, not an iceberg, but a volcano about to erupt...
Although the handsome girl's family didn't suffer because of him, Wan Guotai always felt that it was difficult for him to shirk his responsibility. Perhaps without his own sudden intention, he would not have been seriously injured by his good uncle, and would not have caused the catastrophe of Li Xiaomei's family. There won't be so many disciples of the Great River League dying...
Wan Guotai, who never believed in fate, felt for the first time that his actions had brought bad luck to these people.
When a person can't believe what he is encountering, he will always take it for granted to shirk responsibility on his own fate.
At this time, Wan Guotai blamed himself so much.
Everyone knew that the eldest brother Wan Guotai had to vent to release all the anger in his heart.
The big ship was already in front of us, and the other party did not make any hostile movements, not even shooting from the archers, just a gesture of welcome.
Everyone exerted more force under their feet, and the boat slanted up a wave, "sanding" on the sharp ridge of the wave front, and the speed increased to the limit.
Ye Qingxuan let out a long roar, and the five of them soared into the sky like giant birds, and flew onto the big ship together.
Puff puff…
Almost in no particular order, the five stepped firmly on the deck at the same time.
Amidst a burst of sneering, a voice rang out: "What a group of juniors from the Dajiang League who don't care about life and death dare to chase after the ships of our Chijiao Gang. Didn't you see the letter we left for your bumpkin leader? Hmph, since you are here Now, I don’t need to leave, just as my young gang leader feels that the impression left on your alliance is not deep enough, so I will use the heads of the five of you to give Jiang Tao another gift.”
The five were speechless and stared at the crowd opposite. There were two square tables lined up on the deck near the cabin, each table had four grand master chairs, a total of eight chairs sat six men and two women, and each table had a set of mahjong, playing mahjong leisurely there.
Standing behind the eight were thirty men in military uniforms of various heights, all of whom were brave warriors.
On the table on the left facing the crowd is the person who just spoke. It was a young man dressed in fine clothes, with a high crown on his head and a red brocade robe. The feeling of treachery and wisdom.
