ten steps one kill

Shun was still carrying the barrel of the gun from Xilingzhai on his back, but his back was unspeakably cold. He took off the spear, held it in his palm and stroked it gently for a while. Compared with unfamiliar words, the wood on the barrel was the one he was familiar with. , the warm and solid touch seemed to have been engraved into his palm, blended with the continuous lines of the skin, and became a part of him.

Qi Xiang noticed that he was silent, so he spoke up from the side: "Speaking of which, your marksmanship is the best among our peers, better than mine. If you win the favor of Hall Master Song in the future, don't forget My brother."

Qi Shun suddenly stood up and said: "No, I don't want this gun anymore, I'll just throw it into the sea!"

Qi Xiang was startled: "Wait a minute, what are you messing with! Why are you throwing away such a fine gun!"

Qi Shun's chest was already clogged with depression, but after listening to his elder brother's words, his heart became even more sour.Usually he was always honest and dull, and never resisted his elders, but this time, his anger rushed out of his throat uncontrollably, turning into a shout: "Xiling Spear is Xiling Spear, and it will never be used to please others!"

After speaking, he took a few quick steps and threw the gun barrel into the sea.

Qi Xiang hurriedly caught up with him, crossed the railing with his arms, and tried his best to catch it, but he was one step too late.Seeing that the bright gun head was swallowed by the waves, he could only shake his head and sighed: "Oh, forget it, it's just a gun, and you can forge a new one later. You throw it into the sea, besides wasting money, you also have money." What's the point?"

No matter how expensive the Xiling Spear was, it was just a weapon. The world was so big that it was easy to find a replacement.

There is no spirit lodged in the barrel of the gun, nor does it light up in the dark night, and kindle the fire in the cold wind.

Qi Shun stared at the silver gun entering the water, as if watching a part of himself being pulled away by the whirlpool.As if waking up from a nightmare, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

Looking down from the boat, the sea surface is shrouded in the shadow of the hull, and it is no longer blue, but a deep black color, like a sudden rift in the snow-capped mountains, and the raging waves beat around the hull, stirring , the bottom of the water is an unfathomable abyss, as if it is connected to another world.The slender gun shaft fell into it, stayed for only a moment, then was covered by the brand new angry waves, and could no longer be seen.

Everything happened so fast that Qi Shun didn't even see what the silver gun looked like before it disappeared.He stared blankly at the surface of the water, searching desperately with his eyes, only to find an afterimage, so as to comfort his soul.However, all he was left with was a pale splash.

Qi Shun only felt cold, and the sea breeze blowing on his face was piercingly cold, which made the soles of his feet feel vacant and his limbs felt weak.He finally lost his strength, and slumped on the ground as if his muscles and bones had been pulled out.He leaned his shoulders against the railing and cast his eyes on the island in the distance. The scenery in front of him gradually distorted and reversed, sliding into an endless abyss.

It was not until more than half a day passed that the investigation finally came to an end.The deck of the first ship was already full of people, bustling with people, like a market on the first day of the new year. These people were found innocent, and their joy was beyond words.

It was a completely different scene on the second boat.The convicted prisoners were escorted by officers and soldiers. Although they stood on the deck, their hands and feet were bound, and they could not only move.These people bowed their heads in silence, their faces ashen. Even if they left Yingzhou Island safely, there was only a cold prison waiting for them.

Both the lead ship and the second ship were fully loaded, fed with water, and fully sailed. After lifting anchor, they slowly drifted away from the coast and sailed into the turbulent waves.

Looking from the boat, Yingzhou Island became farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and finally shrunk to a point.The bloodshed and slaughter for several days, and the sudden change, also went away together.

Qi Shun lay on the side of the boat, watching the stratus clouds roll in the sky, covering the sea surface in a leaden gray color, and there was a faint twilight in the stratus clouds, as dim as candles in the curtains, the lucky boat Trapped in the curtain between heaven and earth, it seems to be stagnant.

After a while, Qi Shun noticed that the Fuchuan had really stopped moving.

After going out to sea, the waves suddenly became very strong, and the unpredictable wind, like many arms, tore the sails from all directions, and the hull swayed in place as if stuck in a swamp.Because the draft is too deep, the waves are about to go over the deck.

The steward said in a loud voice: "The wind direction has changed suddenly, quickly put up the sails!"

The boatmen were ordered to run around on the deck, and the martial arts people who were not able to swim could only shrink in the corner and resign themselves to their fate.

After the sails were retracted, the shaking of the ship's hull was finally reduced a lot, avoiding the end of capsizing on the spot. However, it was unable to continue moving forward, and it just circled around the original place on a zigzag track.

Qi Shun was flustered, his elder brother comforted him and said: "The wind and waves on the sea are not a big deal, look, can't you see the land over there?"

Qi Shun heard the sound and looked far away, only to see that the sky was getting darker again, and in the gusts of overcast wind, he could faintly see a dark shadow in the sky, like the traces of splashed ink smudged.

Suddenly I heard a shout: "Boss, boss, it's bad! It's about to hit me!"

It was a boatman who called out, who was originally standing under the mast, and together with other companions, he was busy furling the sails.His eyes are naturally good, and he can see farther than other people. I saw him glance at the sea, and immediately showed a frightened expression. In the panic, the sail rope slipped from his hand, and half of the sail was caught along the mast. Unfolding again, the sail surface swayed left and right in the wind, causing the hull to tumble again.

The passengers on the deck also panicked and stood up one after another, but they didn't know where to run, bumping around like a swarm of headless chickens.

The steward shouted: "Don't worry, stand firm and don't move! Whoever wants to die in the sea, I will throw him down now!"

The hoarse voice finally calmed down the scene for a short time.People who did not want to be buried in the belly of the fish stopped and looked around in place.

I saw the raging waves rolling at the bottom of the boat, and the sound was like thunder, which was breathtaking.In this vast world, people's minds have long been filled with the instinct to survive, and their guts shrink smaller than a sparrow.Rao, the former martial arts hero, also shut his mouth at this moment and stopped making a sound.

In the silence, the steward asked: "What's going on? What hit—?"

However, when he asked, he already saw the answer.

Not far away, on the sea covered by smoke waves, the shadow of another ship quickly emerged from the shadows and was exposed to everyone's eyes.

Every pair of eyes on the deck could see clearly that the second ship, which was left behind by them, was now full of sails and slammed into the direction of the lead ship.

The sails of the ship were still full, and in the suddenly rising wind, it seemed as if an invisible hand stretched out, pushing the back of the ship, forcing it to break through the water, carrying nearly a hundred people, and galloping towards it at a high speed.

"Stop the boat!! Do you hear me! It's about to crash!"

The opponent didn't pay attention to the yelling on the lead boat, but the speed was getting faster and faster.The black shadow cast by the sail spread rapidly on the sea surface, and the tip of the ship seemed to turn into a sharp blade, cutting through the chaotic sea surface and causing huge splashes.The surging white foam surged on the two wings, like the rays of light on a sharp blade.

"Leave the sails! Are you dying! Hurry up and furl the sails!"

Seeing that the second ship was getting closer, the steward said loudly: "Let's also set sail! It's important to avoid it first!"

After receiving the order, a group of boatmen rushed to the mast and loosened the sail ropes in a hurry.However, before the lead ship had time to blow the wind, it was overtaken by the second ship head-on, like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

A row of auxiliary oars was launched into the water, but it didn't help.The boatman exclaimed: "It's too late, we can't avoid it!" After speaking, they threw away the oars one after another, and squatted on the spot with their heads in their arms, embracing the impending impact.

Riding on the wind, the second boat drove straight in, smashed into the hull of the first boat, and shattered the fairy gate in the middle of the side of the hull.

If the boat had been a living person, the sword had already pierced through the belly at this moment, and the blood spattered on the spot.

Although the Fuchuan does not bleed, it looks like its bones have been broken. The shattered sawdust flew everywhere, and the passengers on the deck screamed and dodged, but they were a step too late. The momentum was too great, and the whole body flew up, over the damaged railing, and fell into the sea.

The sea was choppy, and due to the turbulence of the big ship, countless whirlpools were rolled out. The four shouted "Help", "Help", and beat the water desperately, but the people on board had no time to protect themselves, so how could they care about their safety? .The poor martial arts man was like a fallen leaf swept away by a strong wind, circling and turning in the vast sea, his limbs were pulled and twisted, his face turned pale, but within a moment, he was completely swallowed by the waves and disappeared one after another.

However, the real nightmare is yet to come.

The two ships floated on the sea, one sideways and the other vertically. The tip of the second ship was like a wedge, embedded in the side of the lead ship.Behind tilting the dragon's head, a group of figures surged out.

The passengers on the first boat exclaimed: "You sinners! Villains! Are you going to rebel?"

"That's right! If you don't rebel now, when will you have to wait!" It was Zhang Duyan who answered.

Most of the people who took the boat last time were martial arts people who were convicted of crimes. They were unwilling to be prisoners, and they joined forces to set off a resistance, broke free from the shackles and ropes, and snatched the weapons from the officers and soldiers.Coercing the boatman to full sail, deliberately bumping into the leading boat.

The ropes and shackles that were originally tied to them turned into hooks and whips, and by the momentum of the two ships colliding, they hooked the mast of the lead ship.

Zhang Duyan raised his arms and shouted in a rough voice: "Brothers who don't want to go to prison, come with me! Go to his mother's government, to his mother's law, as long as we seize this boat, we will be free!"

In response to all calls, the martial arts people showed their skills one after another, driving light kung fu from the swaying deck, and with the help of ropes, hooks and iron cables, they flocked to another ship like a tide.

"All stop!"

With a loud roar, Dongfengtang finally showed up.Song Yungui was surrounded by a group of subordinates, leaning on a cane, glaring at the martial arts crowd rushing forward.

It turned out that after finishing the long investigation, he also took his disciples and got into the second ship together with Li Qing Butou.He just stayed in the cabin all the time, and didn't notice the abnormality on the deck in the first place.

Seeing that someone was taking advantage of the chaos to rebel, he immediately rushed to the deck with Li Butou, commanding his disciples to stand in a row and raise their bows and arrows.

"Everyone stop! Otherwise, I will shoot an arrow. Whether to go to prison or be buried in the belly of a fish, you have to figure it out for yourself."

All he dispatched were his confidantes with superb martial arts skills. Even in the bumps, the hand holding the bow was still steady and undisturbed.

However, Zhang Duyan was not deterred by Song Yungui's words, instead he forced a smile and waved his arms.His companions formed a row in front of him.These people did not come forward alone, but in pairs, each holding another terrified-faced person hostage.It looks like he is the boatman driving the second boat.

The prisoners took the boatman as a hostage, blocked the front of the team, and then continued to attack the lead boat with impunity.

Zhang Duyan laughed and said: "If the government cares nothing about the lives of innocent people, just shoot arrows over here, at worst we die together, it's not a loss!"

His laughter reveals the heroism of seeing death as home, but the boatmen held hostage by him are all ordinary people. Although they have seen strong winds and waves, they have never seen real swords and guns. No one wants to die innocently. All of them turned pale with fear. Calling for help indiscriminately: "Master Li, help! Hall Master Song, help!"

The disciples of Dongfeng Hall were furious, turned to Song Yungui, and said willingly: "Hall master, let us shoot arrows, these arrogant people have long since abandoned their dignity, and their behavior is no different from local ruffians. If we don't subdue them today, what will the martial arts face be? "

Song Yungui narrowed his eyes, glanced at the crowd surrounded by the bow, and frowned.

Before he could speak, Li Qing stretched out his hand, stopped him, shook his head and said, "No, the government can't just sit back and watch innocent people die, please don't act rashly."

The arrow is on the string, but it cannot be fired.For a martial artist, there is nothing more frustrating than this.

Seeing the rebellious prisoners marching forward, half of them have crossed the barrier of the sea and jumped onto another ship.As the number of people decreased and the weight became lighter, the bow of the ship was raised higher. The archers stood at the stern and had to raise the bowstring higher. They only felt that their arms became more tired, their vision became more turbulent, and it became more difficult to aim. .

Song Yungui spoke for them, and asked Li Qing to catch his head: "My lord, if you don't do it again, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Don't act rashly." Li Qing insisted.

This time, besides the prisoners, there were also officials escorting the prisoners. They encountered fierce resistance just now, experienced a fierce battle, and were defeated for a while. It was not until Li Qing showed up that they stabilized their position.However, fearing for the life of the innocent boatman, the officials did not dare to take action lightly, so they could only stand in the distance and watch closely the situation at the bow of the boat.

Zhang Duyan also looked at him, seeing that his companions jumped onto the bow boat one after another, only a few confidants remained, each hijacked a boatman, retreated slowly, and retreated to the edge of the bow.

Li Qing said loudly: "Brave maniac, release the hostage soon!"

Zhang Duyan sneered, and said: "Okay, anyway, I can't hold so many idlers on my boat, so it's okay to let these wastes go. But I'm afraid that you, Mr. Li, won't keep promises and will backtrack on your promises, so I want to make an appointment with you first." , I let a person go, and you throw a bow, how about it?"

Li Qing turned his head away, exchanged glances with Song Yungui, then turned to Zhang Duyan, nodded and said, "I promise you."

Song Yungui waved his hand and ordered the disciple of Dongfeng Hall who was closest to him to abandon his bow.

The man's face was full of displeasure, but Song Yungui's attitude was firm, so he had to obediently obey orders, slowly put away the bow that was fully drawn in his hand, and threw it to his feet.

On the opposite side, Zhang Duyan also raised his hand and gave an order to let a boatman go.

The boatman who had regained his freedom immediately fled from the prisoner array. He tripped over the sail rope on the way and fell face down on the deck with his nose crooked. But he stood up and continued to run as if he didn’t know the pain. He ran to Butou Li and stopped panting heavily.

Li Qing patted him on the back and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, you are already safe."

Zhang Duyan continued to give orders and let the boatman go one after another.In exchange, Song Yungui also kept withdrawing his arrows and abandoning his bow.The chips of both sides were quickly exhausted, and when the last boatman was released, the last bow just fell to the ground with a clang.

Zhang Duyan waved his hand and turned to leave.

After they no longer had to worry about the safety of the hostages, the members of the Dongfeng hall immediately rushed to catch up.However, it was as difficult as climbing a mountain against a storm in order to board the high bow. When they finally approached the goal, the prisoners had already left their place. Under the leadership of Zhang Duyan, they jumped up, using light work, stepping on the rope, Swing to the opposite deck like crossing a bridge.

The lead ship became their new territory, and the prisoners who had regained their freedom turned around and cut off the ropes that had just been used to seize the ship.Then they gathered beside the fairy gate and pulled up the bow of the boat with all their strength to push it out.

The tip of the second ship was originally wedged into the side of the lead ship, but was pushed by the crowd, and the embedded parts were staggered again, and the second ship fell back to the surface of the water with a bang, stirring up thousands of waves.

The disciples of Dongfeng Hall stood on one side of the waves, watching helplessly as the deck on the other side slowly floated away, out of their reach.

I only heard Song Yungui's voice coming from behind: "Forget it, come back, don't chase anymore."

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the bow ship.

The Wulin people who were forcibly divided into two groups by the officials are now gathered on the same boat again.Many of them were former colleagues, brothers, and relatives.However, the two parties did not enjoy the joy of reunion.On the contrary, after the reunion, the martial arts people were in a mess.

The voices of cheers and celebrations all came from the party that took the ship.The passengers on the first boat were terrified, because the load of the Fuchuan was limited, and it was already fully loaded, and dozens of uninvited passengers ushered in in a blink of an eye. The cracked scars sink into the depths of the sea.

The steward's face was as white as paper. He looked at the team snatching the ship and exclaimed, "One ship can't hold so many people! Go back quickly! Go back!"

The intruder laughed and said, "Old man, don't be stupid, since we've come, we don't plan to go back."

The steward ignored the other party's arrogance and hurriedly said: "If this continues, the ship will sink!"

But the other party replied: "Don't worry, you can just hold the sail. If we don't go, someone will go."

"what?"

As if to answer the question with action, Zhang Duyan suddenly turned around, grabbed the nearest martial artist, and threw it on his shoulder abruptly.

He was standing close to the edge of the deck, and most of the railing behind him had been damaged by the impact just now. With a vigorous swing, he threw the person on his shoulders out of the boat.

Seeing the man plop into the sea.There was a burst of exclamation from around: "Are you crazy?"

Zhang Duyan turned to the crowd, squinted his eyes, and glanced at everyone's faces: "I'm very sober, this guy just proved me, but I remember it clearly." He shouted, "What about you? Who have you been wronged and betrayed by whom? Do you all remember clearly?"

"Clear! Of course it is clear!"

Encouraged by him, the team that snatched the ship went into a rage.Shouting and rushing towards his enemy.

"Crazy, all crazy..." The steward stared blankly at the chaotic crowd.

People who had gone astray were now reunited in the raging waves, and the enmity formed during the investigation was now intensified and erupted.The friendship of the past is gone, and the closer brothers and sisters are now fighting more fiercely.The defeated people were thrown into the sea one after another and died in the waves.

The people in Xiling village also fought together.The six officers who were abandoned have now turned into enemies and launched a fierce offensive to put the person who took the lead boat to death.

Wulin people are not afraid of death, they are only afraid of dying unjustly, frivolously, and not regrettably.

Die at the hands of your companions is really the ugliest way to die.

Qi Xiang didn't want to die, he grabbed Qi Shun's arm during the chaos, ran away, and complained: "It's all your fault for throwing the spear, now we have no room to resist."

Qi Shun shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether you throw it or not. I will never use the Xiling gun to hurt the people of Xiling Village."

Qi Xiang stomped his feet: "Oh, you are really stupid! They are waiting to kill you!"

Seeing Zhang Duyan's gaze cast on him, Qi Xiang finally let go of Qi Shun's arm, and quickly hid in the shadow of the sail by himself.

He was looking for the door leading to the cabin, but the people hiding in the cabin had already sealed the entrance, completely cutting off the last escape route.

In the vast sea, all he can live in is the square inch of world in front of him.

However, this world has long been turned upside down in black and white, and good and evil are reversed.

Qi Shun stayed where he was and didn't run away.

Looking at the sharp and cold gaze in Zhang Duyan's one eye, he silently thought, this is karma, and the invisible steel knife is finally about to chop off his head.

"Brother One-Eyed..." He heard a hoarse voice from his own voice.

"I'm sorry, you go to die."

Zhang Duyan left this sentence and pushed Qishun out of Shuiyu Xidu's house.

The water floated bright red.

While the lead boat was struggling hard, the second boat calmly floated in the wind and waves.

There were dozens of people on board, and the weight naturally decreased a lot, making it easier to maneuver.Even though the sea was raging and the water mist was churning, the hull was actually more stable than before. With the sail half-closed on the pole, it lightly rides on the center of the waves, fluctuating ups and downs.

It was supposed to be dusk, but the setting sun was completely covered by thick clouds, and the sea was as black as night.Behind the piled up dark clouds, there was a rumbling thunder.

Song Yungui looked into the distance and said with emotion: "It's really a good weather."

Li Butou next to him showed a surprised look: "Chairman Song must be joking, how can such a sinister wind and rain be called good weather? Right now the boat is inconvenient, and it is getting dark again. I am really worried about what to do." Take back the ship and stop those lunatics from continuing to do evil."

Song Yungui's expression was still relaxed: "I think Mr. Li is too worried. There is no need to chase, and there is no need to make a move. The lead ship will sink into the sea sooner or later."

Li Qing showed surprise: "If so, we should catch up immediately."

Song Yungui shook his head and said, "Master Li, please allow me to say that the government has been suffering from martial arts battles for a long time. The magistrate sent you to investigate the situation on Yingzhou Island. They don't take the lives of Wulin people seriously. Besides, the evil results in front of them are entirely due to the Wulin people's intrigue and retribution, even if the whole army is wiped out, it is their own fault, and it cannot be regarded as the negligence of Li Butou."

Li Qing looked at Song Yungui with a sullen face, and asked, "Does Master Song want me to sit idly by?"

A smile floated on Song Yungui's face: "In this vast wind and rain, none of them will be left behind, so don't worry about future troubles. Besides, even if the mob survives, it won't be a big deal. The companions who are really beneficial to the adults are already gone. Being taken under my command, they are all on this ship at the moment."

Li Qing squinted his eyes, looking at the elite teacher beside Song Yungui.Because of his status, he was often appointed by the magistrate to handle cases related to martial arts.Among the crowd in front of him, there were many old faces he was familiar with.However, these faces either belonged to Tianjimen or worked for Zhujianzhuang in the past. However, Tianjimen was destroyed in just a few days, Zhujianzhuang also announced its withdrawal from the arena. At this moment, they all became Song Yungui's confidantes.

Song Yungui sent Dongfeng Hall to the top of the martial arts world with his own strength, such a strategizing ability to win people's hearts is really daunting.

Even if Song Yungui was respectful in front of him, he would never dare to underestimate the opponent's city.

While he was thinking secretly, there was a commotion from the opposite side, and the Dongfengtang team separated from the rear to make way for the comers.

The person who came was Nan Gongyou, the eldest son of Pingnan.

Nangongyou was weak, and it was even more difficult for her to adapt to the bumpy voyage when she was at sea, so she stayed in the cabin to rest.

Although he showed up right now, his face was still as pale as paper, and his footsteps were shaky, obviously he hadn't recovered from the depression, but he came to the deck with all his energy.

The rain was flying in the wind, even if someone held an umbrella for him, the chaotic raindrops still wet his clothes.

The son's status is noble, Li Qing didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Your Highness, the turbulence will continue for a while, you'd better go back to the boat to rest."

Nangongyou waved his hand, and replied perfunctorily: "It's okay." Then he came to Song Yungui, stared straight into the latter's eyes, and said with a straight face, "I heard what you said just now."

Song Yungui did not refute, but turned to the side, commanding his subordinates to put on a fox fur for Nangongyou, and then said unhurriedly: "I will deal with the matter on the boat with Lord Li, Your Highness don't have to worry about it."

Nangong worried about Song Yungui, with an indescribably complicated expression. He ignored the other party's obstruction, and then asked: "What if the lead ship doesn't sink? The team that snatched the ship will definitely drive their companions off the ship in order to survive. After a fight, In the end, the ones who survived must be the most vicious people, and the only way to have endless troubles is to sit back and watch these people escape."

Song Yungui said: "Your Highness, worry too much, the lead boat will definitely sink, even if we throw everyone down now, leaving only one empty boat, it will definitely sink."

Nangongyou's expression froze: "How do you know?"

Song Yungui shrugged his shoulders and said, "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, why don't we drive closer and have a look."

The boatman got the order, adjusted the sails, and leaned in the direction of the lead boat.

In the dark, it gradually emerged, and as expected, it has slowly sank.skewed in one direction.

Not only Nangong You, but even Li Qing showed confusion: "Dare to ask why Hall Master Song expected this situation?"

Song Yungui replied: "It's easy to say, because before the lead ship went out to sea, someone tampered with it. The bottom of the ship was cut open, the tung oil was shoveled off, and replaced with soft mud. If there is a collision, the gaps at the bottom of the ship will inevitably crack, causing seawater to pour back, and the cabins inside the Fuchuan are separated from each other. When the people on the deck find that the bottom of the ship is leaking, it may be too late to repair it.”

Li Qing was even more puzzled: "These two lucky boats were dispatched by General Chen, who guarded the sea area. How could you touch them?"

Song Yungui smiled and asked, "Master Li, do you still remember where this General Chen came from?"

Li Qing couldn't help being startled: "The fleet in Shuhai was severely damaged in the anti-Japanese war last year, and King Pingnan paid a large sum of money to repair it. Later, some ships were handed over to General Chen who was recommended by King Pingnan. Jurisdiction."

Song Yungui nodded and said: "That's right, General Chen was born in southern Xinjiang, he is the favorite general of King Pingnan, and I have a good relationship with the son, and I am also a friend of King Pingnan."

Li Qing frowned and asked, "What are your plans?"

Song Yungui said: "Actually, Mr. Li already knows it in his heart? At the court, the reason why you spoke rudely and contradicted the important ministers was to expose King Pingnan's plot to rebel. Unexpectedly, King Pingnan assisted the garrison army to put down the invasion of Waipu. , returned triumphantly, and won the favor of the first emperor. So the first emperor made things difficult for you, demoted you to a small place, and dealt with us low-level people in the rivers and lakes. Presumably you are very fond of this fatuous court that does not distinguish between right and wrong. Already disappointed?"

"Could it be that you are really planning to rebel?"

"King Pingnan tried his best, prepared carefully, and spent decades of painstaking efforts. We are just doing our best to help him clear some obstacles."

Faced with this unexpected declaration, Li Qing lost his composure, and said loudly: "Master Song, plotting rebellion is a serious crime of beheading, ransacking, and punishing the nine clans!"

Song Yungui just nodded slightly, and said: "The rule in this world is that the strong prey on the weak. If I lose, even if I lose my head, I have nothing to say. But this time, I am sure of winning. "

After finishing speaking, he took out a gold satin brocade pouch from his bosom, and took out a seal wrapped in it.

Li Qing looked suspicious, took the seal and carefully identified it, before saying: "Is this the private seal of Duan Qichang, the head of Tianji Sect?"

Song Yungui nodded and said: "That's right. Master Li must be wondering at this moment how the private seal of a mere martial arts man can shake the general trend of the world. But at this juncture, the rattling of swords will only scare the snake, but it is an inconspicuous straw that can become a thousand pounds. magic weapon."

Li Qing met Song Yungui's gaze, and saw solid and abundant faith in those eyes.

The officers and soldiers he brought had just been stubbornly resisted by the prisoners, and they had already lost their fighting spirit and were routed. On the contrary, Song Yungui's team was still full of energy and was bound to win.

He finally nodded and said: "I would like to plan things with Hall Master Song."

Song Yungui showed a smile, and stretched out his hand to him: "Prince Pingnan has always been thirsty for talents, and he cherishes talents like his life. Master Li will no longer have to worry about being left out in the cold."

Li Qing nodded, but then he showed suspicion, and asked, "I'm afraid that Duan Qichang's son is still alive, and something big will happen."

"Don't worry, he died in the sea of ​​fire last night. Unless he is resurrected, he will never be able to recover."

The second boat, carrying Song Yungui and his party, gradually approached the first boat.

The sky was already dark, but the wind and rain showed no signs of easing up. The sea surface was like a dark cave, and the raging waves twisted into a whirlpool, as if they wanted to drag everything in the world into it.

In addition to the sound of wind and rain, there were also bursts of fighting in the darkness.

The passengers on the lead ship were still struggling, like sleepy animals and birds, biting each other in desperate situations, fighting until their heads were bleeding and they were dying endlessly.

Listening to their unbearable noises, Song Yungui couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.

Li Qing also cast his gaze into the distance, and vaguely saw a few people holding onto the side of the boat, waving their arms desperately as if they were looking forward to something.Their figures floated on the deck a few feet away, turbulent with the waves.

Li Qing turned to Song Yungui and said, "There seems to be someone on the boat waving to you."

Song Yungui didn't even look at it, and replied: "It's my hand."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Could it be that you also instigated the idea of ​​seizing the ship?"

Song Yungui nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Li, have you heard of the name Xiling Village?"

Li Qingdao: "Of course I have heard that a group of righteous men who voluntarily defended the border gathered in Xiling Village. They were originally well-known in the martial arts, but it is a pity that some people colluded with Wai Pu and committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and their reputation has since been ruined."

Song Yungui said: "The part of the people you mentioned are exactly the people I inserted. I want them to seize the first ship and eliminate the dissidents as much as possible. After that, I will merge the ships they seized into General Chen's The fleet, help them make a comeback and make a big splash."

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "I see, no one can refuse such a lucrative temptation."

Song Yungui smiled slightly and said, "Of course not."

"But they don't know that you have tampered with the bottom of that boat."

"Of course they won't know."

After saying this, Song Yungui let go of his walking stick, casually threw it to his feet, and then walked steadily to the side of the ship, leaning on the railing to look out, as if he was admiring the appearance of that huge ship when it was at the end of its rope.

Li Qing's voice came from behind: "So Hall Master Song's leg disease is also fake."

Song Yungui said: "My leg was indeed injured once, but it has healed long ago. During the time of the injury, I realized a precious truth. As long as I hold a walking stick, people in the world will underestimate my ability and will not use it. I take it seriously. The more they despise me, the less scruples I have. That's why I kept the stick till they all fell."

His tone was as light as the planks of a boat under his feet.And not far away, the lead ship tilted more and more, and most of its heavy body was submerged in the sea.The distance between the two boats narrowed further, close enough for him to see the passengers on board.Zhang Duyan had a panoramic view of his panicked and ugly state, like an orangutan whose butt was burned.

Li Qing asked: "So, does Hall Master Song intend to save them?"

Song Yungui said: "Of course. They threw their former companions into the sea for their own self-interest in disregard of chivalry and good faith. They really deserve the retribution they have now."

Li Qing looked at his profile and said, "It turns out that Hall Master Song intends to do justice for the heavens."

Song Yungui shook his head: "Lord Li, you misunderstood. Everything I do is for my own benefit. As for the way of heaven? There is no way in the sky, otherwise, how could it allow the world to fall to this point?"

He said it with absolute certainty, because his past life is a solid example.His life is rooted in the rotten soil. If there is a way in the sky, how could he allow an ant to climb to the top of the rivers and lakes along a dirty track.

Along the way, he saw too many ugliness.

He saw Fang Wuxiang leaping down to Qingguangya, the clay sculptured Buddha body was stained with sin karma, and it would be difficult to reincarnate from then on.

He saw Chi Lian being buried in a raging fire, nourishing the bone-corroding butterfly with her lifeless beauty, and smearing the blood of her enemy all over Huangquan Road.

When he saw Yan Qianfan died under the moon, he put all his eggs in one basket to restore the old covenant, but all he could do was to close the bronze gate of Zhujianzhuang, and Xiling village collapsed.

Abandoned but not pursued, lost but not obtained, if there is a way in the sky, how can you sit and watch your blood cool down, your youth wither, your soul die, and your aspirations will be lost? fate.

The sky does not show compassion, and the world cannot tolerate a piece of pure rivers and lakes.

Therefore, he became hard-hearted, cunning and cunning, and the famous families in the Jianghu were either afraid of the legacy of their ancestors, or worried about the prosperity of future generations, so they inevitably tied their hands and feet and couldn't enjoy themselves.And he, Song Yungui, has no ancestors and no descendants, is alone, fearless of life and death.Even if he travels all over the world to be vicious and vicious, he has no worries at all.

He cast his gaze far away and saw that the leading ship was still floating on the sea, with only one breath left, swaying on the top of the waves, but it did not capsize for a long time. The subordinates around him gradually lost their patience and asked, "Master, that ship seems stopped moving."

Seeing that the deck of the leading boat was empty, except for the silent boatman, the rest of the martial arts people were thrown into the sea, but the hull was still sinking.
