The sudden battle happened quickly and ended even faster.
Those Salt Gang disciples who climbed onto the building boat did not even block a charge and completely received the lunch box.
The Yan Gang disciples below who had not yet climbed up were shocked when they saw this scene. They immediately jumped back into the boat, turned around and ran back.
"The idea is pricking your hands, pull it."
We all are not fools. We know that we can't beat him and just talk about it.
Li Biao shouted: "Brothers, use your crossbow to greet them."
As soon as Li Biao finished speaking, the sound of "swish, swish, swish" of bows and arrows suddenly sounded, and each sharp arrow shot at the Salt Gang disciples on the boat.
Waves of screams and curses followed.
The Salt Gang disciples on the boat almost became living targets at such a close distance, and were shot by crossbow arrows one after another.
Some of them were smart enough to jump into the water and escape.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the Salt Gang's men were lost, leaving the leader behind him stunned.
The group of people he brought out were all the most ferocious in the gang. They beat the officers and soldiers on the official ship and retreated steadily. But now it was better, but most of them were slaughtered like chickens and dogs.
Where did these murderers come from? They are simply a group of evil stars.
The group of people he brought were simply not enough for others to kill.
With the participation of these people, tonight's operation is destined to fail. However, the details have been revealed, which will inevitably bring trouble to the Salt Gang.
But if they continue to entangle, it is meaningless. They are no match for them at all, and they will only be killed in the end.
It was a sure thing, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared and caught him off guard.
The top priority is to save his life first. As for other things, let's wait until he survives.
Thinking of this, he directly gave the order to retreat.
"Brothers, the idea is prickly, the wind is tight, and the wind is blowing."
After saying that, he ordered his men to turn the ship around and run away.
The Salt Gang disciples who were fighting on another large boat quickly got rid of their opponents after hearing the order, jumped back into the boat, and fled for their lives.
When Jia Cong saw this scene, he put down the telescope in his hand.
The Salt Gang is a big gang in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is a ragtag group, there are a lot of people. Although I am not afraid of being entangled by them, it is still troublesome.
Only by killing all these people can the secret be kept temporarily.
"Since you have offended someone, there is no need to hold back. Li Biao, Wangcai, you two are responsible for leading people to eliminate the remaining bandits. Don't let them get away."
"Yes, my Majesty."
The two agreed, got on the boat, and chased after each other.
Jia Cong took the sniper gun from Qingwen's hand, aimed at the leader on the medium-sized ship, and pulled the trigger.
Hearing a "bang" gunshot, the other party fell down.
"Hit, hit, Master, why did you hit him on the leg? Do you want to survive?"
Qingwen held the telescope, looked at it, and shouted.
It was originally aimed at the chest, but it actually hit the thigh. Fortunately, it didn't miss the target, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
The shaking of the own ship and the target's hull adds too much uncertainty.
"Well, these boys are not used to keeping prisoners. They are all injured. It is impossible to chop off people's heads again, right?"
Jia Cong once again aimed at a sailor who was rowing, carefully felt the shaking of the hull, and suddenly pulled the trigger. With a "bang", the target fell down.
Qingwen shouted: "This time I hit the chest. Master, let me take two shots to enjoy myself."
Jia Cong nodded, gave the sniper gun to Qingwen, and said, "Pay attention to the shaking of the hull. You all take turns to fire a few shots."
Qingwen took the sniper gun and took aim at it carefully for a while. With a "bang" sound, the shot hit her chest.
Jia Cong could see clearly through the telescope and directly punched a big hole in the target's chest. Blood instantly splashed on the faces of the people next to him.
The man screamed and plunged into the canal.
Qingwen said excitedly: "Master, my shooting skills are good, right? One shot hits the target. This shot is so exciting."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Well, it's really good. I have the potential to be a sharpshooter. I'll practice more when I have nothing to do in the future."
Several people stood on the deck and took turns firing several shots, killing all the sailors on the ship who were the fastest.
Such a big movement still woke up Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Xichun and others.
Several people followed Yuanyang to the deck, and when they saw Jia Cong, they walked over.
Lin Daiyu said with a worried look: "Brother Cong, what's going on? How come they started fighting again? Are you okay?"
Jia Cong greeted him with a smile, held Lin Daiyu's little hand, and said with a smile: "I still woke you up. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's the people from the Salt Gang who are doing evil here, and we happened to hit them. .
These people still want to block our trip. In order not to waste time, we can rush back to Yangzhou as soon as possible to visit Uncle Lin, so we can only take action against them. It can be regarded as justice for God. "
Lin Daiyu felt relieved after hearing this, nodded and said: "Well, as long as everything is fine, I was really shocked when I heard the noise just now."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen."
Shi Xiangyun stared around and looked around without any fear at all. He said with a smile: "Third brother is so awesome. I feel at ease when I follow him out. It's interesting, fun, and safe."
Xichun nodded his little head and said, "Well, Sister Yun is absolutely right. My brother is the most powerful."
Looking at these two little fans, Jia Cong laughed happily.
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at the three of them and said angrily: "Okay, you two, stop praising him. If you continue to praise him, Brother Cong's tail will be raised."
Xichun chuckled and said, "My brother is not a snake spirit, so how could he have a tail? Sister Lin is talking nonsense."
The people who listened to the story yesterday burst into laughter when they heard this.
Lin Daiyu looked at everyone with a puzzled look on her face. What's so funny about this?
Seeing her confused look, Jia Cong quickly explained: "Yesterday, when we returned from your place, Girl Yun and Girl Four came to my place and insisted on hearing a story, so I told them a story about "The Legend of White Snake"."
Hearing this, Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Cong with a look of resentment, and said with a "humph": "Brother Cong, you don't even call me sister when you tell a story. It's really sad. Do you forget that you have sister Yun?" Have you met Sister Lin?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "You are already asleep, how can I disturb your rest? Don't worry, you will always be the first in my heart, and I will never forget you."
After hearing this, Lin Daiyu's face blushed a little shyly, but her heart felt sweet.
This is my brother Cong, no one of you can take it away. Thinking of this, he grabbed Jia Cong's hand tightly, but he was not forgiving.
"Hmph, you can lie to people with sweet words. I don't care. You have to tell me the story of "The Legend of White Snake" again."
Jia Cong said, "No problem. I'll tell you when everything is sorted out later. I won't let you down."
Seeing Jia Cong's good attitude, a smile appeared on Lin Daiyu's face.
"Brother Cong, I want you to tell me one more story. Is that okay?"
Is there any problem with telling stories to my wife?
Of course there is no problem.
"Okay, sister Lin has the final say, and brother will listen to you."
Xichun giggled happily on the side. Now she heard another story. From now on, she would go to Sister Lin to hear stories.
Jia Cong glanced at everyone and said: "It's late at night, the cold is getting thick, and it's easy to catch a cold. You should go back and rest. This group of thieves has been defeated by us, and our manpower is chasing them. It will take a few hours at most. The boat can now be sailed, don’t worry.”
Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "Well, Brother Cong, let's go back and rest. You should rest early when you are done."
Everyone saw that nothing happened and they were indeed safe, so they all went back to rest with confidence.
More than half an hour later, Li Biao and Wangcai returned.
"Reporting to the Duke, all the gangsters that can be seen have been wiped out. It is too dark now, and some fish may have slipped through the net. The leader over there was also caught and briefly interrogated.
Their purpose this time was to rob the official silver on the ship. If we didn't show up, they would have succeeded. "
Jia Cong nodded. Finally, not all of them were killed, but one prisoner was left.
The people from the Salt Gang dared to rob official silver, which was no different from rebellion. They were really audacious.
These people dared to take action even though they knew the consequences. They probably already had a perfect plan. Either they had an insider, or they were thinking of killing people and silencing them, thus creating a headless eucalyptus.
But what I never expected was that he would accidentally bump into me and mess up the matter.
Not only did it fail, but the truth was also revealed.
If the senior officials of the Salt Gang find out about this, I don’t know how they will react?
Whether this matter is big or small, the behavior of the Salt Gang is undoubtedly in line with rebellion. It is still necessary to inform the Emperor. As for how to deal with the Salt Gang, it is up to the Emperor himself to decide.
"The official ship over there has been silent. Have you gone up to see if there are anyone alive on it? Is the official ship still there?"
Wang Cai said: "If you return to the country, sir, we have already gone up to check. Most of the officers and soldiers on the ship were killed or injured. The general who crushed the ship was not dead, but was injured. It is not easy for us to check the official bank, but the general will bring us here." Now, the Duke can ask him personally."
Jia Cong said: "Bring him here, it will make you feel more at ease if you ask. Since we are involved, there can be no mistakes. If the people of the Salt Gang dare to rob the ship, they must have someone to rely on."
We must not be careless and allow others to take advantage of the situation, otherwise we will not be able to eat the mutton, but will become a mess. "
"I understand, Duke Guo. In addition, these people also hijacked a ship. It was a nun and her disciples who were heading to the capital with a group of maids and women. They happened to be hijacked on this section of the road.
The old nun knew that Mr. Guo had saved them and wanted to come to express her gratitude to Mr. Guo in person. She had already followed him. Do you want to meet Mr. Guo? "
Jia Cong said: "Since everyone is here, let's meet and bring them up."
Wangcai nodded, turned around and went down.
After a while, Wangcai came up with three people.
A man in armor, about thirty years old, had an injury on his arm and was stained with blood. It looked like he had just experienced a war.
The other was an old nun, who looked about fifty or sixty years old. She had a kind-hearted look and a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. She was accompanied by a twenty-year-old girl with outstanding appearance, no worse than Qingwen.
The general took a step forward and bowed: "General Zhang Kangnian, I would like to pay my respects to Duke Ning. I would like to thank Duke Ning for his rescue. Otherwise, not only the tax money will not be saved, but we, too, will not be spared."
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "General Zhang, there is no need to be polite. Since I have met you, you can't just sit back and watch. How are the casualties on your ship? Are the taxes and money okay?"
Zhang Kangnian said: "I reported back to Ning Guogong that the tax and money are intact, but most of the brothers on the ship were killed or injured, and there were less than a hundred people left."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Everyone who came from the Salt Gang this time has been eliminated. However, the night is too dark, and it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net. You should pack up and set off quickly. Even if the Salt Gang gets the news, they will probably be killed." I don’t dare to take action again.”
Zhang Kangnian cupped his hands and said, "Ning Guogong, if I don't thank you for your kindness, I will leave first."
Jia Cong said: "General Zhang, have a good trip."
Seeing Zhang Kangnian's back disappearing, Jia Cong withdrew his gaze and looked at the old nun.
The old nun clasped her hands together, bowed and said, "Amitabha, this poor nun and my disciple Miaoyu would like to thank Duke Ning for saving his life."
Miaoyu?
Jia Cong was slightly startled when he heard this. It turned out to be Miaoyu and her master. What a coincidence, right?
I really couldn't imagine meeting Miaoyu in this way.
Miaoyu was originally a girl from an official family. She had been frail and sick since she was a child. The fortune teller said that she could save her life only by becoming a monk, so she went to Panxiang Temple in Xuan Tomb Mountain to practice on her behalf.
Later, because he was too good-looking, he was coveted by local dignitaries. In desperation, he followed his master to Shenjing City to avoid trouble.
After carefully looking at Miaoyu, there was indeed a hint of aloofness in her expression.
Reminds me of the song "The World Is Hard to Tolerate" from the original "A Dream of Red Mansions":
Her temperament is as beautiful as an orchid, her talent is as good as that of an immortal, and she is born with a solitary bent that is rare for everyone.
You think that eating meat is fishy and disgusting, but you don't know that people who are too high will be more jealous, and those who live in a clean world will be disgusted.
It's a pity that the old people in the ancient Qingdeng Palace have failed to live up to the red and pink vermilion tower.
In the end, it was still dusty and dirty, against my wishes. It seems that the flawless white jade is trapped in the mud, so why do you regret it?
Miaoyu's ending is also a tragedy.
The Jia family didn't fall behind and were stunned and kidnapped by the gangsters. Needless to say, the ending.
It is in line with the sentence: If you want to be clean, you will never be clean. The clouds may not be empty. The poor gold and jade will eventually sink into the mud.
Thinking of this, Jia Cong sighed, it was such a fate for a beauty.
"Master, there is no need to be polite. It is a coincidence that I took action this time. It is a coincidence. To be honest, it can be regarded as the fate between us.
I heard that the Master is going to the capital. If you have any trouble or need, you can go to Ningguo Mansion for help. Just tell me my name and someone will help you. "
The old nun clasped his hands and said, "Well, thank you very much, Mr. Ning Guo."
