Domineering

Chapter 57 Ambition
Coincidentally, just to the south of the ancient market, in a dense forest less than three miles away from this bustling town, the same iron arrows flew through, densely like rain.

That was the rain of arrows splashed from the two Wanshi Ironwood warships on the river.

The continuous diffusion of hundreds of military crossbows caused a howling sound in the dense forest.

More rockets were shot out, igniting the dry trees in the forest.

At first, the people in the forest could bear it.But when the fire ignited and the forest was filled with smoke, a group of figures with helmets and armor swarmed out of the dense forest.

But what greeted them later was a denser mass of spiked arrows.A large number of soldiers wearing Daning-style armor fell to the ground, bleeding.

At this time, there was also a shout of anger in the forest: "Iron madman! You are so brave, you dare to shoot and kill my Tianping army soldiers with military boats and crossbows. I think you want to rebel!"

Iron Maniac was standing on the prow of an iron-wood warship with his hands behind his back, and a red iron gun about two feet long was inserted into his side.

Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing: "General Wei was joking, where did the Tianping Army come from here? Shouldn't your soldiers of the Tianping Army stay in Hansha Town, seventy miles away? Battalion? You disregarded the military order of the imperial court, what exactly do you intend to—”

At this moment, a black armored figure suddenly rushed out of the forest.

With a surge of force, he swept away all the surrounding arrows, and in just a moment, he had already rushed to the front of Iron Madman.Following this man's mace, countless waves rolled up around the battleship, and the surrounding river was crushed by a foot.

Behind this person, a huge illusory stone mountain appeared.

"What a Cangshan Mace!"

Tie Kuangren stood motionless on the bow of the boat. He reached out and held the red iron gun beside him in his hand, and then raised the iron gun obliquely.

With the sound of 'clang', the guns and maces clashed, and the big iron gun was bent down by the smash.

The arc of the iron gun became more and more curved, just when everyone thought the gun was about to bend.Iron Madman shook his hand casually, the gun body instantly rebounded, and like a poisonous dragon, it bypassed the iron mace and smashed towards the opponent's door.

The armored general looked blue and cold, he brandished his mace and sealed the iron gun.But the whole person was also blasted to the shore and slid back tens of feet on the ground.

However, Tie Kuangren's majestic spear force still had more momentum. It not only split the river in two, but also blasted a gully more than twenty feet long on the embankment.

General Iron Armor didn't make any further moves after he got ashore. He looked at Iron Maniac with cold eyes: "Stop your men! I will admit defeat today. If you let my soldiers go back to camp, I will guarantee that after today, the Tianping Army will not intervene again." The dispute in Xiushui County. Iron madman, you can't bear the crime of slaughtering the court soldiers and horses!"

"There are only a group of thieves here. Where did the imperial soldiers come from?"

Tie Kuangren's voice was narrow, but he still flicked his sleeves, signaling his subordinates to stop the arrow rain: "But you, Wei Lai, are trustworthy, so Tie can trust you once."

Seeing that the rain of arrows had stopped, General Iron Armor looked slightly relieved.

"I will keep my word and do what I say."

He looked at Tie Madman with deep meaning in his eyes: "However, I would also like to advise you, Tie Banner Master, you have too much ambition! A powerful man in the world dares to monopolize the water transportation of the Shenxiu River. How bold and ambitious! .

Now in Xiushui County, there are many people who want to get rid of your brothers.If the Iron Banner master still doesn't know how to stop, Wei will sit in Hansha Town and wait for your brothers to be defeated. "

After saying this sentence, Iron Armored General had no intention of staying any longer.He turned around and strode towards the dense forest behind him. Wherever he passed, the raging flames around him were completely extinguished.

Before, he was afraid of the "Buddha Spear" surprise attack by Iron Madman, and he didn't dare to disperse his true energy, but now he no longer has such worries.

Iron Madman turned a deaf ear to General Iron Armor's words. He turned around and looked at the bustling market opposite.

"Go to the ancient market! I will go first, and you will follow. By the way, did the deputy banner master save the person?"

What he asked was a seventh-grade magician who was wearing a green robe beside him.

This person has been using spells to observe the situation inside the ancient market.

"The young man surnamed Chu is safe and sound." There was a strange look in the eyes of the seventh-rank magician: "Just now Heng Wei held Du Hong's rune eagle sword and fought with that little brother, but he was killed by him twice .”

Since the battle of Firebone Cave, the Iron Banner Gang has thoroughly investigated the reality and characters of the Long family.

So he knew that Heng Wei was the one that Long Heng strongly admired.

The young master of the Long family didn't know what he was planning, and he had always hoped to send Heng Wei into the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall.

"Can he kill Hengwei holding the rune eagle sword?"

Tie Kuangren was taken aback, he blinked in surprise, and then laughed: "This is really a young hero."

When he finished speaking, his figure had slipped out from the bow of the boat ten feet away.

Iron Madman held his iron gun upside down, stepped on the river, and galloped in the direction of the ancient market.

Today is a good opportunity to besiege and kill the ice snake of the Long family. He is worried that if he goes too late, the snake will escape.

※※※※

Tie Kuangren was still one step late. When he arrived at the ancient market, Longheng had disappeared.

Tie Kuangren frowned, and looked at his brother Tie Xiaosheng with strange eyes.

He laid a net in the ancient market.

In addition to Tie Xiaosheng, he also arranged eight hundred gang members, eight masters of the seventh rank of Yuan Gong.

Can this be escaped by Long Heng?

Even the masters that Long Heng brought to the ancient market, such as Long Shifei, the elder of the Long family, and others, failed to keep them.

"Look at what I'm doing?" Tie Xiaosheng looked annoyed: "That guy is slippery, and he led people directly to hide in the Shibo Department's office. I can't rush into the Shibo Department to kill people."

About 27 years ago, in order to increase tax sources, today's Emperor Jianyuan set up 120 nine city ship divisions in the port markets along the rivers and coasts of the world.

The Shibo Division of the ancient market is one of them.

Although the powerful gentry in Dongzhou tried their best to resist taxation, the Shibo Department of this ancient market has not been able to play a role.But this yamen, after all, symbolizes the authority of the emperor.

Tie Xiaosheng then took a look at the Nanjie Temple Market in the distance full of resentment: "And that Zuo Qingyun is also a bastard!"

If it wasn't for this person's meddling, Long Heng would never have escaped into the Shibo Department's office with his whole body.

No matter what, you have to leave an arm under his sword.

"Ship Department?"

Tie Kuangren immediately glanced at the heavily guarded Shibusi Yamen in three streets.

His spiritual sense sensed that inside this yamen, there were more than a hundred soldiers holding weapons, lurking behind the gate wall.

Actually, even the Shibo Secretary hooked up with Long's——

He then smiled: "Forget it! Just let him stay here. It's easy for a snake to cross the river, but it's difficult to go back to the west bank."

Tie Xiaosheng walked up to a young man not far away with a cold expression.

This man was about thirteen years old, with a high nose and deep eyes, messy clothes, and blood all over his body. He was holding his arms half-kneeling on the ground under force by two cavalry gang members.

——That's Long Sheng, the second young master of the Long family!
The Long family entered the ancient market with only a few seventh-rank martial arts practitioners, who were lucky enough to follow Long Heng and retreat into the Shibo Division.

The rest of the seventh rank and below were all captured or killed by Tie Xiaosheng, including the second young master of the Long family.

"What do you want to do?" Seeing Tie Xiaosheng pull out the epee, Longsheng's eyes suddenly showed panic: "I am the direct descendant of the Long family, the hereditary Chief Banner Officer of Jinyiwei, you dare to kill me?"

Infinite remorse breeds in his chest.

He just wanted to witness Chu Xisheng's death with his own eyes.

Longsheng thought that there was Tianping Army's help in this battle, but he had no intention of calculating, and there was absolutely no reason for their Long family to be defeated, so he followed his brother through the risky situation.

If he had known the result would be like this, he would never have crossed the Shenxiu River.

Tie Xiaosheng let out a laugh, and chopped off Longsheng's head with a sword.

He failed to kill Long Heng in this battle, so he vented his anger on this young snake first.
