Seeing the two of them returning safely, Tan Wushuang asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Tang Bailing replied: "It's okay."
"What are you two holding?"
Li Fenglan replied: "Qian, don't ask so much, hurry up and row."
"Paddle that way?"
"Demarcate a fighting area."
Tan Wushuang started rowing.
Although the scene just now was not thrilling, Li Fenglan had never experienced such an exciting thing. When she was in the water village, she was strategizing and had everything under control. Now that she had calmed down, her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.
As they gradually moved away from the battlefield, and the three of them were safe, Tang Bailing asked, "Why didn't you go see what those money guards found just now?"
Li Fenglan shook his head: "They probably didn't find anything. If I guessed correctly, there was no one they were looking for on this island. The reason why I stared at that room was because it looked most like a place where secrets were hidden. I believe they will also keep an eye on it."
"Then you're not just here for the money tonight, are you?"
"Of course not. Tonight is to scare off the enemy and force those who are hiding to come out."
Tang Bailing stretched out: "Zhusha, seriously, how much are you going to pay me?"
"How much does Sister Tang want?"
Tang Bailing shook his head: "I was just joking, I didn't really ask you to pay."
"I should pay for it. Sister Tang has helped me so much during this time. That mask alone is worth a lot of money, right?"
"Yes, the production alone costs more than fifty taels... Let's not talk about the money. These plans you made seem to me like fantasy, but they are still successful."
Tan Wushuang said contemptuously: "Then you have never seen her fail. You don't even know how many times she was beaten because of her confidence when she was a child."
Li Fenglan was dissatisfied: "Are you so fond of exposing people's background?"
"I'm telling the truth. Was it your idea for the three of you to go play in the woods that year? Didn't you get beaten up by Aunt Zhou when you came back? Was it also you who led the emerald amber lake to fish for fish? And..."
"Wait a minute..." Li Fenglan stood up and looked around, "Fat Tan, where are we?"
"Huh? I don't know."
"No, I asked you to draw a fighting range, I didn't ask you to draw blindly!"
"Then you should have told me earlier! I can't row!"
"No, just say so! We don't know where we are now!"
Seeing the two people bickering, Tang Bailing smiled unconsciously. It was nice to be able to play with his childhood friends, wasn't it?
"Okay," Tang Bailing advised, "Stop arguing, we can paddle eastward and then go back."
Li Fenglan asked: "Sister Tang, do you remember the waterway?"
Tang Bailing nodded: "You have to remember at all times. If my father and my uncle know that I am lost, they will definitely scold me for not being good at learning."
Li Fenglan and Tan Wushuang said in unison: "Where is the east?"
…
In this battle, Jinhu Village and Shuangye Village suffered heavy losses. Jinhu Village's siege force was the weakest, and Jiulian Village never expected that Snake Seven Inches would actually attack them. Li Tianbiao had a good idea. He could encircle and annihilate the effective forces of Jiulian Village and capture Shuizhai in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that after Jiulian Village took over the defense of Jinhu Village, it turned around and dispersed the surrounding forces of Shuangye Village.
After all, it is the largest water village with strong foundation and many experts. It is not something that Shuangye Village and the others can compare with.
The fighting lasted until the ugly hour, when the alliance led by Shuangye Village of Jinhu Village was defeated. Of course, Jiulian Village also suffered heavy losses in this battle, but it was within an acceptable range.
The sky was bright, more than a dozen broken boats were floating on Poyang Lake, and most of the lake was dyed red.
According to Li Fenglan's estimation, at least 200 people died in this battle.
Li Fenglan squatted by the lake, reached out to pick up a handful of water, and gently patted her white neck to wash away the sweat on her neck. After entering May, the weather has become much hotter, and you will break out in sweat even if you take even two steps. But she is still wearing cinnabar
clothes, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
Tan Wushuang looked at the boat salvaging corpses in the distance and said, "You said...if you didn't come to trouble others, they wouldn't have killed so many people, right?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Li Fenglan was very single. "These water bandits are not good birds. They will die early and be reborn. Why do you talk so much nonsense."
Tang Bailing jumped onto the small sampan. She had already changed into Bixi's clothes and asked, "Is there anything else you want to explain?"
Li Fenglan shook her head: "Sister Tang, just do as I say...but you must pay attention to your own safety."
"I see."
After saying that, Tang Bailing put down the gauze on the power fence and rowed in the direction of Jiulian Village.
Li Fenglan stood up, put on her mask, smiled and said to Tan Wushuang, "Fat Tan, let's go."
…
Li Tianbiao had trouble sleeping and eating.
Too many people died, especially in Jinhu Village. There were not many people in the village to begin with. After this battle, most of the people in the village became water ghosts. The other two small water villages were not much better. On the contrary, not many people in Shuangye Village died.
This matter cannot be explained clearly. In the past few days, Shuangye Village had been extremely strong, and several small water villages regarded him as their leader. As a result, after this battle, people thought: It's good for you Shuangye Village, but we're going to die? Is it something people do?
Early in the morning, several leaders of the water village blocked the door of Li's house.
Of course, because there were so many dead people in these water villages, even if they wanted to get angry, they no longer had the ability to do so. They just came to ask for an explanation.
Li Tianbiao was pacing back and forth in the room. He was careless and distracted. He was so hot-headed yesterday that he really thought he was the boss of Poyang Lake. Although he had nothing to lose, his reputation was ruined. Who else would come to join him in the future? Those few small water villages that have been adapting to the wind are already vacillating. After this battle, they will probably all defect to Jiulian Village.
In the midst of anxiety, I suddenly heard someone coming to report.
"Boss! Miss Cinnabar is here!"
As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Li Tianbiao quickly said: "Please come in quickly!"
Zhusha's face showed disdain, disgust, and disgust, but no anger or complaint.
After she entered the house, she sat on the chair in the hall and looked down at the nails on her hands without saying a word.
Li Tianbiao said with a smile: "Miss Zhusha... Look, several small water villages disobeyed discipline last night and attacked Jiulian Village privately... The situation now created is very difficult to deal with... Look..."
Zhu Sha asked without raising her head, "What are you looking at?"
"This...this current situation..."
Zhusha raised his head and looked at Li Tianbiao, and said with a smile: "If there are 1,800 people in Shuangye Village, and you give me a thumbs-up, I will just borrow Poxiadonkey. But do you have that strength? I will I’ll give you a chance to tell me again what happened last night.”
Although Li Tianbiao hates Zhu Sha's strength and arrogance, he knows his priorities clearly, and now he can only rely on her strategy to save the city. If the situation is allowed to develop, he may lose his head.
Li Tianbiao talked about the matter like pouring beans through a bamboo tube. After he finished speaking, Zhusha's sneer became even stronger.
Zhu Sha stood up from the chair and said with a smile: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan. Liu Bang knew that he would kill Han Xin after taking over the world. Boss Li, you have wasted a good opportunity. What you should be thinking about now is to save your life. Rather than dominate Poyang Lake."
"Yes," Li Tianbiao said patiently, "Miss Zhusha, what should I do now?"
"Stay here and you won't be able to get out."
"What about other than that?"
"Gone."
"No more?!" Li Tianbiao got angry, "What should they do in Jinhu Village? I have to find a way to appease them! Otherwise they will defect to Jiulian Village!"
"They will go to Jiulian Village whether you appease them or not. Don't spend that wasted money. Don't be afraid, things can still turn around."
After Zhu Sha finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the door. As she walked, she said, "Every time you take a step, you will gain wisdom. Don't be clever in front of me in the future."
Looking at Zhusha's retreating figure, Li Tianbiao gritted his teeth and said viciously in his heart: "Let your little hooves be proud for a few days until I take over Poyang Lake, hehe..."
Zhu Sha and Tan Wushuang returned to Hewu Town, expecting that Tang Bailing would arrive home first, but who knew she didn't come back. Until Shenshi, no one came back, and the two of them were a little panicked.
"Something's wrong!" Cinnabar said, "It shouldn't have taken so long."
"Yes, usually it only takes an hour or two...Li Fenglan, will Sister Bailing be exposed?"
"It's possible. Fatty, can you row?"
"Almost...what are you going to do?"
"Of course it's Sister Bailing who saved you! You go find two sampans and enter Jiulian Village from the woodland on the north side. I'll enter from the cliff."
Tan Wushuang was extremely anxious. After Zhu Sha gave the order, he was about to walk out, but he was grabbed.
"Remember!" Cinnabar shouted, "If you can't find it, come back. Don't risk your life. Take this."
As he spoke, he took out two fireworks from his sleeves.
"If you find the person but are trapped, click this red one. If you successfully rescue the person, click this green one. If you don't find the person, you will have to come back when you are young, and the same is true for me. Listen Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
…
There is something wrong with Jiulian Village. Usually they meet Bixi outside the village and have no intention of letting her in. But today, they actually invited her in.
Tang Bailing had doubts in her heart, but if she refused now, the trouble would definitely be brought forward. In desperation, she had no choice but to pretend not to care and follow them into the water village.
There are many wounded people in the water village. It seems that the battle last night was very tragic.
The leader of the village, Wei Yang, stood in front of the water village hall. When he saw Bixi, he clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Bixi, for giving us advice and successfully resolving this crisis. Miss Bixi, please."
Tang Bailing stood in front of the hall and did not go in. She glanced at the person standing behind her with her peripheral vision and said with a smile, "There is no need to go in. Let's talk here."
Wei Yang smiled and said, "Last time, when the lady came, didn't she say she wanted to meet our village leader? I will introduce you to him. The village master is inside, so you'd better come in with me, girl."
Tang Bailing put his hands behind his back and smiled coldly: "You can't trust me."
"What did the girl say?"
"No need to meet you," Tang Bailing said with a smile on his face, "I'm here just to tell you what to do next. As for your village leader, let's talk about it next time."
Wei Yang didn't force himself and asked with a smile: "What do you think the young lady should do next for our Jiulian Village?"
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and Jiulianzhai's opinion of her was written on her face. She believed that as long as she said what Li Fenglan asked her to say, they would all attack her.
There is someone behind Jiulian Village, and this person has seen through all of Li Fenglan's schemes.
It's dangerous.
