Unparalleled Double Harmony

Most of the hatred in this world is superficial and boring.

For example, in today's Internet age, two people who don't know each other at all can easily fight over things like which character in a comic is stronger or weaker, or which of two games is more fun. .

Within half an hour, the two of them could each sit in front of the computer and spray each other until they were shivering, wishing that the person on the other side of the network cable would die suddenly on the spot.

Is this hatred?
Of course it counted, but it was just a momentary, meaningless hatred.

As long as the time has passed, and the parties concerned look back and think about it, they will feel that it actually doesn't matter, or they have already forgotten about it after a long time.

But there are still some hatreds that cannot be wiped away by time.

Nor can it be resolved after both parties understand each other or one of them makes some compensation...

This kind of mortal enmity can only be resolved if there is a life-and-death ending.

Don't listen to people say "there's nothing left after revenge". You'll be empty after you've done it, but you'll be happy and satisfied while you're doing it.

Revenge is the same thing.

Kang Haijiao at the moment has such a mentality.

On the premise that he can definitely complete his revenge today, he is ready to enjoy the foreplay and process, and is not in a hurry to kill his enemy immediately.

That's why he said "do the math".

But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Huang Donglai who was opposite said, "Okay!"

After Brother Huang said hello, he turned his head and looked at Sun Yixie: "Brother Sun, you heard that, if people want to settle accounts, then I will leave this place to you, and I will go back there and kneel."

"What is it?" Sun Yixiong went up to the door, "You just leave it to me?"

"Eh? Didn't he want to settle the score?" Huang Donglai responded confidently, "Then you think... you were the one who kicked him into the ditch in the Dragon King Cave back then? You were the one who used tricks in Dengzhou Killed him, right? What does it have to do with me?"

As soon as this remark came out, I heard a shout from the side: "Nonsense!"

Ladies and gentlemen, this roar is not from Brother Sun, but from Kang Haijiao.

"Do you think I don't know that when you were in the Dragon King Cave, you were chasing me with a hidden weapon behind your back?" Kang Haijiao can vividly remember the plot at that time, "If you say something that has nothing to do with you, I can let you go ? Then why did I call you out in the first place?"

"Ha! Haha, hahahaha~" Sun Yixie immediately barked at Huang Donglai gloatingly when he heard this sentence.

"Smile! I'll kill you to death!" Huang Donglai threw back such a sentence with a displeased face.

"Come on! I'm afraid of you?" Sun Yixie also immediately retorted.

Immediately afterwards, the two men scuffled on the deck as if there was no one else around, of course... It was still the way of "putting on a show and not hurting the bones".

But when Kang Haijiao saw this, he couldn't help but think to himself: What's the matter with these two people?Could it be that they are just superficial brothers... secretly want to see each other die?

"Okay! Are you two playing monkeys here?" After watching for a while, Kang Haijiao felt that the scene was too painful, and it was about to destroy his mood for revenge, so he drank again and stopped the farce of Sun and Huang. Then, he turned back and ordered to the minions behind him, "Brothers, put these two grandsons in a 'cage'!"

"Yes!"

"okay!"

The pirates got the order and responded one after another. Immediately, five or six people came out to "take down" Sun and Huang, and put them on the pirate ship beside them.

Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai... didn't resist, because they also wanted to play with this Kang Haijiao again. After all, they were bored in the cabin every day since they went out to sea. He made a bit of a waste.

So what is the "cage" that Kang Haijiao is talking about at this moment?In fact, it was a kind of torture tool that he found someone to make specially to torture and kill prisoners.

This thing is not complicated, its main body is a metal cage that can hold an adult; the top of the metal cage is connected with an iron chain, and the iron chain is wound on the rotating shaft on the ship's side.

When "executing punishment", people are stuffed into a cage, the iron chain is loosened and the cage is sunk into the sea, and when the person in the cage is drowning or dying, he is pulled up again, and the cycle repeats...to make the victim survive I can't, I can't ask for death.

Seeing this, someone may have to say, isn't it a bit troublesome to do this?Wouldn't it be more convenient to tie people's feet directly with iron chains and throw them upside down into the sea?

In fact, it is not impossible, but this method will bring other problems. For example, after the opponent enters the water, he bends down and stands up to break the chains on his feet with his hands, or what should he do if he grabs the iron chains and climbs out of the water?
In order to avoid this, you have to tie the hands of the other party, and you have to tie them backwards, but this still does not solve the problem of "bending down". As long as you can bend down, you can adjust your posture underwater. How about "rolling up" yourself sideways along the iron chain at the waist?

To solve this, a further solution is to put a thicker wooden stake behind the opponent, and then wrap his hands around the stake to tie his hands behind his back, so that the opponent cannot bend over.

However, in order to prevent the wooden stake from being separated from the opponent's back, one must try to connect and fix the wooden stake to the iron chain, and then consider the problem that the wood may rot after being soaked in sea water for a few times...

Did you find out when you heard this, or the metal cage will save you trouble.

Of course, if you have to argue, "waterboarding" doesn't need to be done in the sea at all, just take a bucket or a water tank, or get a piece of wet cloth, let a few people hold the victim down, and it can be done on the deck.

But, doing that on the scene... is far less interesting than using this "cage".

The reason why Kang Haijiao installed three or five such "cages" on the side of his pirate ship was to show the execution process to the passengers on the robbed ship for fun.

According to his habit, as long as the conditions permit (except for the bad weather or the sky is too dark), every time he robs, he will pick a few thorns from the robbed ship and put them in the "cage" to torture them. And asked other hijacked passengers to watch on the side of the ship.

Watching those tortured beg in pain and die miserably in the cage, other people on board usually quickly lose the will to resist and survive due to fear. In order not to be the next person to enter the "cage", their thoughts are only Under the "quick death".

Today, the "thorny head" chosen by Kang Haijiao is undoubtedly Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.

Not long after, the pirates locked the two goods in two adjacent cages on one side of the pirate ship, and the passengers on the merchant ship were quickly driven to their side of the ship, ready to watch a play.

"Sun, before you go into the water, is there anything you want to tell me?" Kang Haijiao was still standing on the side of the merchant ship, because he could see the other side clearly.

"Heh... do you think that I will definitely say a few harsh words to you now?" Sun Yixie had already seen through the other party's thoughts, so he continued, "And after being tortured by you, I will Change your mouth and beg you, then you can use what I said now to mock me?"

When Kang Haijiao heard this, hey, are you predicting my prediction?
However, he felt that "I have the advantage", and he didn't get angry because of it. He just smiled reassuringly and said: "Just take it as it is, then do you want to say it?"

"Ha!" Sun Yixie sneered, tilting his head slightly in the cage, "Brother Huang, tell me."

He really wasn't fighting, but because he had already noticed that Huang Donglai had poisoned Kang Haijiao when he was wrangling on the deck, so he asked Huang Donglai to respond.

Some people may ask, Sun Yixie doesn't know how to use poison, at least he doesn't know how to use poison, and Huang Donglai must use the brilliant methods of the Huangmen in the middle of Sichuan, so why didn't others see it, just Can Sun Ge see "what has Huang Donglai done"?

Damn, I've seen too much.

This is like two people who have played against each other for hundreds of thousands of interstellar games, and can react to each other's various operational details, operating habits, and minor problems almost without thinking... I know what shit to do.

"Yes." Huang Donglai also understood, took the opportunity, and said to Kang Haijiao, "Kang Haijiao, listen up, we two brothers will go to the sea to visit and chat by the way, when we get tired of playing , the last person to soak in the sea is you!"

"Hmph...that's it?" Hearing this, Kang Haijiao thought to himself that you, the young master of the Huangmen, are too aggressive. Those who were tortured by me before would have to scold their mother a few times, and curse me a few more words. It's so damn good...you are fine, what kind of "visit" and what kind of "chat" is it, and in the end it's just a sentence that I will go to the sea?Does that count as scaring?
According to general logic, his idea is correct.

After all, in the eyes of Kang Haijiao, the other party is already in a situation where death is certain. In this situation, there is no need to keep any sense of restraint in speaking, it must be as harsh as it is, and you can threaten as much as you want... Why bother to think about whether you can Realize it?

But it's different from Huang Donglai's point of view - every word he said at the moment is serious, without the slightest bit of bragging (it's just awesome, so serious).

"Yeah, that's all, isn't it enough?" Huang Donglai immediately replied.

"Oh?" Kang Haijiao saw that the other party's attitude was calm, and he hadn't shown any signs of fear until now, so he couldn't help picking a thumbs up in his heart, and said, "Okay...you are kind, you two are worthy of being young heroes in the martial arts world. He didn't lose his demeanor when he was about to die, I, Kang Haijiao, have to say something in admiration."

But after saying this, Kang Haijiao was not polite, and immediately shouted at the minions: "Brothers, wait!"

The group of pirates shouted again, and then the few guards on the side of the rotating shaft got busy, loosening the iron chain without much effort, and closing the two metal chains that held Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai. The cage sank into the sea.

At this moment, Eunuch Wei, who was standing on the side of the merchant ship opposite, was secretly sweating for the two of them.

Eunuch Wei must have known the various performances of the people in the Hunyuan Stargate before and after the "Thirteen Deadly Zodiac Incident", so he also knew that they should have some kind of magic skills.

Even if you don't talk about spells, the time for two people with internal strength to hold their breath in the water should be longer than ordinary people.

In addition, Kang Haijiao obviously wanted to torture the two of them, so he definitely wouldn't just drown the two of them the first time they sank...

To sum up, it stands to reason that Eunuch Wei has nothing to worry about.

But this is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case...

The emperor's order was to let him send people to Dongying, that is to say, as long as Sun and Huang landed in Nagasaki, even if they were hacked to death as soon as they left the port, it would not be the business of Eunuch Wei; The two died at the hands of pirates within a few days of leaving Zhoushan, and they didn't even see Dongying, so he couldn't explain it.

At that time, even if Eunuch Wei silences everyone on these two ships, it will be useless, because there are still people in charge of the connection in Nagasaki...

Although those local "Japanese traitors" are only using money to do things and are not very loyal to Dazhao, the other party will report and contact Dazhao on a regular basis.

Assuming that today Shuangxie got off and died here, Wei Qian immediately killed all the witnesses, and then found a place to hide for a few months, and then made up a lie that Shuangxie died in Japan and went back to his life, it might be possible to hide it For a while, but later, as long as the imperial court brought up the matter in regular contact with the Japanese traitors in Nagasaki, Wei Qian and Shuangxie would immediately let go of the fact that they never showed up in Nagasaki.

So if this matter really needs to be covered up, Wei Qian has to find other ways to go to Japan by himself after killing everyone on the ship, and find two other people to pretend to be Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai during the process of going, After the three of them showed up at the connector in Nagasaki, Wei Qian quietly killed the two impostors, fabricated a plausible cause of death, and then burned the two bodies to ashes and brought them back. Big 朙... Only in this way can it be regarded as basically clean.

As for the option of "buying the connectors", it was not within his consideration from the very beginning, because that group of people can even betray their own country and nation, which means that it is not reliable to bribe them. If you say one thing about your money, you can say another thing for other people's money tomorrow.

"Hmm..." In less than 2 minutes, Eunuch Wei had gone through the above-mentioned series of countermeasures and all kinds of worst-case plans in his mind, and then he pondered for a while, and wanted to make a move.

He is confident that as long as he makes a move, within two breaths, he will be able to kill all the pirates who have boarded the merchant ship, including Kang Haijiao, and then he will use light work to fly to the opposite pirate ship to frighten the others. Hey, and threatened those who were in charge of turning the chains to pull up the cage.

Assuming it took those few people more than ten seconds to pull the cage out of the sea, then Eunuch Wei would be able to help Shuangxie back to the sea in just half a minute.

"It's almost there, get up!" Unexpectedly, when Eunuch Wei was about to move, Kang Haijiao spoke first.

This move undoubtedly saved him a life...Of course it was only temporary.

Although there is no timing device, most people like Kang Haijiao, who are often active in the sea and are familiar with water, know the time to hold their breath.

The time for ordinary people to hold their breath is usually between 30 seconds and 1 minute. If it exceeds 1 minute, it means that the cardiopulmonary function is quite strong, and this is just a theoretical value in a relatively safe and calm environment. When you need to hold your breath, this time will often be shortened; for example, the time you hold your breath while lying on the bed and looking at the timer on your mobile phone is definitely longer than the time you can hold your breath when you are thrown into the sea.

Therefore, after submerging Shuangxiong for 2 minutes, Kang Haijiao reckoned in his heart and felt that it was "almost".

Even if they are martial arts practitioners, they can't be too optimistic. If they start for 5 minutes, the first time the person is already drowned, then the effect of torture will not be achieved.

Hissing, ringing, ringing... clattering...

Accompanied by the movement of iron chains hinged and water coming out of the iron cage, the two small cages that imprisoned Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai respectively surfaced quickly and reappeared in everyone's sight.

But the state of the two of them was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

I saw that the two of them were still talking when they got out of the water, and it felt like they were talking halfway.

"...Look at what I said, 2 minutes."

"Fucking shit, forget it, forget it, I'll lose you a meal."

Looking at this state, these two seem to be "chatting" underwater.

So what's the matter?

It's very simple, that is, Huang Donglai performed a small method in the "Twelve Noble Truths", allowing the two of them to breathe and talk underwater, so as he said just now, for them, the 2 minutes just now were really important. "Visit" and "chat" below sea level.

Of course, the "visit" part was found to be invalid after they sank, because the visibility under the sea surface in most sea areas is actually very low, and you can't see anything at all. Well, it’s dark, and you can see things a few meters away at most. The kind of underwater footage that you see on the Internet or in film and television works, where the surroundings are clear and transparent, and you can observe various fish and corals, is only available in very few places. scenery.

As for the "chat", in the two minutes just now, Sun Huang, apart from discussing the next countermeasures, was betting... betting how long it would take for Kang Haijiao's "first sinking" to pull them up.

In addition, Shuangxie did another thing quietly underwater, but what is this thing, let's keep it a secret for now.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Speaking of Kang Haijiao, when he saw that the two came up, not only did they not look in any pain, they were still chatting, and the desire to complain and anger rose together, "Look Come on, I underestimated the two of you... But~ okay, you guys, it’s okay to go down for a long time, and you’re still talking there... You’re not afraid of being drowned, are you? 'Cage is right', right? I..."

He was just about to say something, but suddenly found that the scene in front of him began to change, and the deck under his feet came to the side of his line of sight for some reason.

"Boss! What's wrong with you? Boss!" Immediately afterwards, the shouts of his subordinates rang in Kang Haijiao's ears.

Only then did he realize that while he was talking, his body had fallen down and lay on his side.

The strange thing is that although his body suddenly fell to the ground, Kang Haijiao didn't feel dizzy at all, and he was still very awake, but his hands and feet seemed to be out of his control, and his limbs were moving involuntarily. .

Here in the book, it is implied that the thing in Kanghaijiao is called "I am not drunk", which was an accidental harvest when the ancestors of the Huang family developed medical elixir, so it was later classified into the category of poisons.

Those who suffer from this poison will be fine within a few minutes at the beginning, and then symptoms similar to Huntington's disease will appear step by step, except that Huntington's disease will last for years or even decades from onset to deterioration, but "I am not drunk" attacks It gets worse every five or six minutes.

"You...what did you do?" After being lifted up by his subordinates and facing the ship's side again, Kang Haijiao shouted at Shuangxie in the opposite cage.

Now that things have happened, he naturally guessed that the young master of the Yellow Gate was probably responsible for this, so he asked this question.

"You already guessed that I did it, so you shouldn't ask this question." Huang Donglai replied.

Hearing the words, Kang Haijiao thought for a while, and found that what the other party said was reasonable, so he immediately changed another question: "How can you hand over the antidote?"

"That's easy to say." Huang Dong said back and forth, "You release both of us and the people on board, and promise that you won't lead anyone back in the future, and I'll give you the antidote."

Kang Haijiao thought for a few seconds: "You are not afraid... I promise you first, I will sail back after the antidote takes effect?"

Huang Donglai smiled and said, "Are you afraid that the antidote I gave you is fake?"

As soon as this remark came out, Kang Haijiao fell silent, and he quickly understood the meaning of the other party: In this case, neither party can guarantee that they will not be deceived after the transaction, so if the transaction is to be established, they must You can only unconditionally trust each other to keep their promises.

"Okay! A word from a man..." After Kang Haijiao thought about it, he made such a head.

"...A four-horse horse is hard to chase." Huang Donglai also connected.

To make a long story short, after the two parties confirmed the deal, Kang Haijiao ordered Shuangxie to be released.

Right now, he doesn't dare to act rashly.

For one thing, from just now until now, Shuangxie's various behaviors have given him the impression that "he is not afraid of death at all", so he uses methods such as death threats to force the other party to hand over the antidote...Kang Haijiao will not do it, He thought that this would only irritate the other party and cause the other party to fight him to the death.

Secondly, there must be a lot of poison and antidote on people like Huang Donglai. Except for him, no one knows which is which. Killing him directly and finding the antidote from the corpse will not work.

Also... It's not like Kang Haijiao never thought about threatening them to submit with hostages. Sexual injury... He doesn't have that much time to negotiate with the other party.

Therefore, "trading" according to Huang Donglai's request is his best choice at present.

From Kang Haijiao's point of view, the credit of the other party's young hero must be much better than that of a pirate like him, and he probably wouldn't come up with a fake antidote; taking a step back, assuming Huang Donglai really cheated him with a fake antidote, Then after he was poisoned to death, his men would definitely turn the bow of the ship to help him avenge immediately, so keeping him alive and praying that he would keep his promise after detoxification was the only way for the other party to survive.

So will he keep his promise?

Certainly not, as we said at the beginning of this book, Kang Haijiao and Shuangxie are mortal enemies. If he gets rid of the poison, he will definitely tear up the agreement immediately and lead people to sail back to kill him. And this time he In order to prevent re-poisoning, he would not even board the ship, and just fired a cannon to sink the other party's ship.

"Then, please." After handing over a sealed vial to Kang Haijiao's subordinates, Huang Donglai calmly let him leave.

Kang Haijiao didn't say much, and immediately called his subordinates to use the planks to bring him back to the pirate ship.

The bow of the bribed ship and the crew members who were with him naturally followed the pirates and withdrew to the pirate ship. After all, they would only be torn apart by other crew members and passengers if they continued to stay on the merchant ship.

There was no words on both sides, and the two ships then separated, each heading to one side.

According to the agreement with Huang Donglai, Kang Haijiao must at least wait until the two ships separate and set sail before taking the antidote. The antidote will take effect after a quarter of an hour, and Kang Haijiao will be back to normal after a while.

But in fact, before the two ships were completely separated, Kang Haijiao, who had returned to the pirate ship, had quietly asked his subordinates to pour the antidote on himself.

He was obviously very anxious, for fear that the fifteen-hour sailing time would cause him to be unable to catch up with the merchant ship later.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary... because his ship would sink in less than a quarter of an hour.

Just now when he was underwater, the "another thing" Sun Huang did was that Sun Yixie put his hands out of the cage, sacrificed the trident, and cut a few meter-long holes on the bottom of the pirate ship that were about to crack but not cracked. , and then Huang Donglai imposed a restriction on those incisions that could prevent water leakage in a short period of time.

Have you ever seen boiled chestnuts?When cooking chestnuts, use a knife to cut a few shallow cuts on the chestnuts. After heating, these cuts will naturally open to the surroundings, so that it is easy to peel after cooking.

Now Kang Haijiao's boat is like a chestnut that has already been cut. After a while, the bottom of the boat will "open wide", and because a huge hole suddenly burst open like a dike, the sudden rush of water will The area around the opening also began to collapse quickly, so the actual damage to the hull will be much larger than the area drawn by Sun Yixie.

Although the antidote Huang Donglai gave Kang Haijiao was indeed real, but less than 5 minutes after Kang Haijiao took it, his pirate ship began to sink...

Where can the panicked pirates care about the boss at this time?It's too late to escape by myself.

After discovering that the ship was almost certain to sink, the pirates on the ship almost immediately killed each other in order to fight for a few escaped boats. Kang Haijiao, whose body was out of control, lay on the deck like a convulsion He moved and yelled, but no one paid any attention to him. He could only watch helplessly as his brothers internalized rapidly...

In the end, when there were only seventeen or eight people left in the hundreds of pirates, the fighting finally stopped.

The position on the boat is enough.

Not only is it enough for the seventeen or eighteen people to ride, it is even enough for them to carry Kang Haijiao up.

As a result, the rest of the people did not forget their boss. Before boarding the boat, they really came to Kang Haijiao, and then... stabbed a dozen knives in every vital point of Kang Haijiao's body, and the result was over his life.

There is no way, who made him, the boss, always have no credibility and benevolence on weekdays, and the younger ones are also afraid that he will recover his ability to move in a while, and will blame them and ask them to settle accounts.
