choke element

When Hu Ju and Xuan Zang looked at each other, Shi Tianni started a fire in the village.

Setting fire is also particular.If you want the fire to break out quickly and fiercely, you have to drop torches from the central area of ​​the village one by one, so that the fire circle will continue to engulf the wind when it expands.Combustion-supporting objects such as dry firewood, kerosene, and forage also have various ways to place them according to the wind and terrain.

Shi Tianni's subordinate Feng Cun was an expert at setting fires. It only took about half a moment to set fire. The whole village was engulfed inside and outside. The huge pillar of fire seemed to be alive. It rolled up thick smoke and rose into the sky, as if half of the fire was burning. The sky was on fire.

The captives who were driven out of the stockade could all see clearly, everyone gasped in amazement, and some shouted angrily.

Those who exclaimed were either the relatively peripheral personnel of the pirates or the crew.The former generally do not have the qualifications to go out to sea to plunder. They are more like the evil slaves used by pirates when they turned into local gentry in their lairs.The latter are mostly crew members.

The leaders are all dead. They have no desperate stance and are the quickest to surrender. They will not be angry because the stronghold is burned down. There are others who are angry.

Zheng Guang is one of them.

During the fight just now, a straight knife passed over his face. The blade cut into the flesh from the left cheekbone down to the base of his right ear. Half of his face was torn open, and blood flowed profusely.With such heavy injuries, he still resisted until his face was hammered with the handle of the knife again, causing him to faint and fall to the ground.

He was somewhat popular in the pirates' camp, and he was obviously seriously injured and unconscious. There were still people who tried their best to protect him and led him to mix with the prisoners.

At this time, he woke up leisurely, and suddenly saw the village being set on fire, and there were exclamations all around him, and he couldn't help roaring furiously.

He felt like it was all over.

An innocent and good citizen has lost all his property and is forced to live in poverty. Not to mention his reputation, his wife and son can only become thieves, which is enough to bring shame to the ancestors.But Zheng Guang originally had a little bit of hope, thinking that he might be able to slowly exert his influence among the pirates with his talents, and then guide them to do less harming things, and then find opportunities to respond to the imperial court's call for peace.

Previously, Wang Ziqing took refuge in Shanghai Bank because of his promotion.

But who knows what madness Wang Ziqing has gone into?Why would a small character like a shrimp want to offend a giant?
It's over now!The family is going to die!
The flames rose bigger and bigger, and quickly burned the village to nothing. Zheng Guang was angry, sad, and desperate. He couldn't help but curse, but he didn't know who he was cursing.

The one who was in charge of guarding the prisoners was Shi Tianni's cousin, Shi Tianxiang who was known for his fierceness.Since Shi Tianni's father, Shi Bingzhi, established the Qingle Army, Shi Tianxiang has been following the expeditions, often as a vanguard, and fought fierce battles with the Jurchens, Khitans, and Mongols.

After a fierce battle just now, Shi Tianxiang felt hot all over, so he took off his helmet, revealing a face covered with scars.Suddenly he heard someone shouting angrily. He turned around quickly and saw Zheng Guang's ferocious face. He couldn't help but be surprised: "This guy is seriously injured. His face is scarier than me. He actually has the spirit to provoke!"

He raised his hand and pointed: "That cursing one, come on!"

Zheng Guang couldn't understand Yandi's accent, but he understood the meaning of this gesture.He snorted coldly and strode out of the crowd.

In the queue of prisoners, several people stretched out their hands to pull him.Even among the old and weak women and children who were sitting or lying on the side resting, there was a rustling sound.A woman was crying loudly, and her mouth was covered by others.

Zheng Guang ignored it completely, gritted his teeth and stood in front of Shi Tianxiang.

"Since you're looking for death, I'll count you as one." Shi Tianxiang said casually and kicked him into another group of people.

Turning his head, Shi Tianxiang swallowed the word "defense envoy" back into his stomach, and changed his words: "Commander, the four hundred prisoners will remove the old and the weak, and then remove the useful crew and watermen. There are 100 people left. Among the 100 people, there are [-] people. Pick out forty bosses or those who are alive and kicking, and they are all here!"

Shi Tianni looked at the 40 people in front of him and waved.A soldier threw several short knives and daggers in front of them in a mess.

"Here in Fuzhou, in addition to Wang Ziqing's group, there is another group of pirates who own the manor of Thursday and Saturday. Although Thursday and Saturday are not here, the leader who is responsible for staying behind will definitely send people to check out the fire in Guling when he sees it. . As soon as they come, I will go. I want twenty people to take us to the manor overnight; I also want these twenty people to falsely open the gate of the village in the name of asking for help and enter the village to fight!"

Shi Tianni spoke calmly, and beside him was a sea merchant selected from the meat ticket, transcribing each sentence with a local accent in a trembling voice.

Zheng Guang sneered again.

I heard Shi Tianni continue to say: "You forty people are all evil people, so half of them will die! I only need twenty people! If you kill others, you will be our own partner. If you do this, If you do it properly, you will not only receive a generous reward, but I will protect your future as a glorious ancestor! If you die, I will also protect your family and your family's wealth for the rest of their lives! Let's do it now!"

Zheng Guang continued to sneer.

There are 40 people here, and only [-] are qualified to live and serve. This method of forcing the surrender of certificates is too crude.

But what about roughness and fineness?I don’t want to live anyway, so why should I hand in a certificate of nomination?Die, just die here, everyone dies, it's all over.

What, future?What, Guangzong Yaozu?What, the family is rich and honored forever?
What a big tone, think I'm a fool... But what if it's true?
What if?
I have to live!

All the chaotic thoughts suddenly disappeared, and Zheng Guang jumped up suddenly.

The pirate leader closest to Zheng Guang was flying towards the dagger.But he never thought that Zheng Guang's target was not the dagger, but himself.The pirate leader's fingers were about to touch the dagger, and Zheng Guang's hands had already grasped his face.He suddenly turned his head to dodge, and five scratches were torn out on the left side of his face.

The next moment, he screamed miserably and his right eye went black.Those were the two index fingers of Zheng Guang's left hand, and they all stabbed into his eye sockets!
The pirate leader held the dagger and stabbed in front of him.

Zheng Guang raised his right hand to meet him, the dagger's edge easily penetrated the flesh of his palm, and then pried the bones of his palm.The entire right hand was bloody and bloody, and the pain pierced his heart and lungs. Zheng Guang screamed sharply, and the wound on his face was completely torn, and blood gushed out.

But this does not affect Zheng Guang's left hand!

He yelled and yelled, and threw himself on the leader of the pirates. The two fingers of his left hand tightly caught the opponent's eye sockets, tearing them wildly!The pirate leader's eyeballs burst, blood vessels were severed, nerves were churned into a ball, muscles and fat were intertwined, bursting out from between the fingers!

Zheng Guang continued to tear!He grabbed his opponent's eye sockets with his fingers, and shook them back and forth desperately!
The leader of the pirates suddenly screamed, his hands and feet were frozen, and he did not move anymore.

Zheng Guang gasped crazily and slowly stood up with the dagger embedded in his metacarpal bone.He smiled at Shi Tianni. When he smiled, his upper and lower lips, which were divided into four pieces, were twisted and blood dripped down, making him look like an evil ghost.

He pulled out the dagger with his backhand and shouted sharply: "I have already killed one! No matter what your origin is, I am willing to serve you!"

"This person is interesting." Shi Tianxiang laughed.

The remaining 38 people around him were still fighting to the death.Under the light of the fire, the light of the knife and the light of blood appeared again and again, and screams and groans came and went one after another.Only this one ended the fastest and most tragically.Shi Tianni looked at Zheng Guang and nodded in satisfaction: "If this person can survive, he can do it!"

After Yinshi passed, the sky began to brighten.

In the west of Fuzhou City, to the north of the West Lake Watergate built by the King of Fujian, behind the Chenglan Pavilion, a rather impressive manor was brightly lit.

There is a temporary checkpoint at the main entrance of the manor.In front of the checkpoint, the right-hand man of the owner of the place, Thursday and Saturday, who ranked seventh in the clan, was wearing a fur coat and holding a steel knife.

He had previously sent two groups of nearly a hundred men, fully armed, to explore Guling, but there had been no response yet.Even the gates of Fuzhou City were closed, and all the familiar soldiers in the city pretended to be deaf and mute.

Thursday Qi felt very strange and became increasingly vigilant.He mobilized all the strong men and women in the village to be on guard, while he personally waited at the door, looking at the firelight in the mountains in the distance while waiting for news.

Suddenly there was the roar of footsteps not far away. Thursday Qi looked ahead warily and shouted loudly: "Who is it!"

"Zhou Qiye! It's me! It's Zheng Guang!"

In the shadows of the night, there were many footsteps, and someone responded sharply: "Qiye! I have something important to report!"

Who is Zheng Guang?

Thursday Qi thought about it and had no impression.It wasn't until a man ran into the light of the fire that he squinted for a while and was suddenly surprised: "Are you Master Zheng from Guling Village? How did you become like this? Was your village attacked by strong thieves?"

Zhou Qi felt a little ridiculous when he said this.The pirates themselves are the fiercest thieves in the coastal navy state. Where can there be stronger thieves?How could someone break ground on Tai Sui!
Thinking of this, take a few steps forward on Thursday and July.Then he found more figures in the night.

It was a tall figure wearing thick black armor, looking like a beast.

A turmoil caused by the big food pirate Alibaba and his forty thieves quickly spread to the surrounding area.

In Lanshan Island, in the security courtyard, Zhang Liangpeng threw down a booklet: "This is a newspaper from Quanzhou, saying that there is a big food pirate, Alibaba, sailing soldiers and rhinoceros between Luliang, Tong'an and Huizhou, and flying in the clouds." When all of them are on the run, one is worth a hundred, and the brave men of his subordinates are called the Forty Thieves, and neither the officers nor the army can stop them."

Zhang Liangpeng threw another booklet: "This is a newspaper from Zhangzhou, saying that pirates are raging outside the suburban pass, plundering in the daytime, rampant, and the passenger boats are not [-] to [-] in strength, so they dare not go out of the river. into the sea."

Zhang Liangpeng threw the third book in front of Zhou Keshan: "This is a newspaper in Chaozhou, Guangnan Road. It is said that there is a pirate named Ali Baba who brought dozens of robbers with him. The harm of the Minlu, and set fire to kill people in the Chao and Lianhai borders."

Zhang Liangpeng threw out the fourth book: "This is a report from the Xinghua Army. It is said that the pirate Alibaba has recently gathered his boat divisions in Haitan Mountain, Meihua'ao and other places, and crossed the sea dragon and rolled the sea dragon fire with the pirates on this road. And, it affected the local area, burning and plundering more than ten villages, villages, and stockades, and the people suffered from it."

"And these! It's all there!" Zhang Liangpeng turned around and picked up a thick stack of books, piling them heavily on the table.Amidst the loud bang, a plate of buttered abalone fell to the ground, and two rhino horn cups rolled around.

"The response strategy we agreed on before is not like this!" The coastal defense envoy of the Song Dynasty was furious.

Zheng Guang was a big pirate in the early years of Shaoxing in real history, and was later recruited.He has a poem that has been handed down to later generations, but it is not known whether it is true or not.The officials are officials but they are thieves, and Zheng Guang is a thief but an official.
