The Demon Soul is Coming

() (Ask for tickets! Ask for tickets!)

Along the Diejiang River, the Cao Anbang fleet consisted of a merchant ship used to transport goods, and six warships, three big, three small, and six warships.

None of the seven ships had flags, but even if they didn’t, others would know that they belonged to the Cao An Gang. On the Diejiang River, if such a fleet was not owned by the “government” represented by the Chu Clan, it would naturally belong to the Cao Anbang, how can other people have this energy.

Liu Sang took out two binoculars from his bosom, handed one to Qiu Danyang, and held one in front of his eyes.Originally it was midnight, although the moon was round, the sky was dark, and they were far away from Shibaotan, so they could only vaguely see the number of the fleet, if they didn't use binoculars, they couldn't see clearly at all.

Qiu Danyang said: "I heard that the glass products in Ningyun City were originally made by Brother Liu?"

Liu Sang said: "It's just something made out of small troubles."

Qiu Danyang said: "Brother Liu is modest, that kind of thing can be produced if you make a small fuss, and brother Liu will let others live? The appearance of glass has indeed changed many things, such as the "Looking Far" In the pre-Qin period, the ancestors of Mohism had already studied the principle of light refraction such as "small hole imaging". When it is ground, it is not only extremely expensive, but even though it can be seen from a distance, it is blurry and extremely impractical. Until recently, due to the appearance of glass made by Brother Liu, this kind of thing suddenly became popular. Now, Every household of the rich has glass products, from mirrors to windows, which are indispensable and have a great influence.”..

Liu Sang sighed: "In the end, it's just some tricks."

Qiu Danyang said: "Kings and overlords can affect a moment, and their unique skills may affect the history of the entire human race. Paper, printing, etc. are all like this. Brother Liu has this talent, which is already remarkable."

While talking, the merchant ship was already approaching Shibaotan.going through.

Suddenly, several boulders whizzed from the distant forest, smashed towards the fleet, and flew randomly along with the wood chips.Water splashed everywhere, and two warships, one large and one small, were smashed to pieces and sank into the river.

Liu Sang was moved: "Catapult?"

Qiu Danyang was also surprised: "Obviously there is more than one. This place is not too far from Youyi City. To be able to install a catapult in such a place without anyone noticing it, the Blood Prison Gate has a lot of power."

The rest of the boats were also in a mess, and a group of Cao An's gang rushed ashore to plunder the forest where the boulder flew out.

There are still stones flying out of the forest and hitting the Diejiang River, but there are many stones.However, the warships of the Cao An gang were not destroyed again.Qiu Danyang said: "Although there are many catapults, they should only be temporary frames made of thick trees and some simple tools. The power of the first shot is comparable to that of the catapults, and the latter is just a bluff."

Liu Sang said: "That's reasonable. Otherwise, it would be so simple to smuggle a large catapult to such a place, and the Chu Clan would not have to mess around." He added: "However, the power of the first shot has already shocked the Cao An gang. , so that they dare not stand guard on the river and let the enemy launch huge rocks, the gate of the Blood Prison is luring snakes out of their holes."

The group of Cao An's gang rushed to the dense forest, but hundreds of people rushed out in the forest. It was a mess in the night, with swords and swords shadowing, and blood and water spilled indiscriminately.

Liu Sang looked at the battlefield with a binoculars and said in surprise, "Are those people from the Blood Prison Gate?"

"No," Qiu Danyang said, "These people are probably from the 'Dark Alliance'."

Liu Sang said: "The dark alliance?"

Qiu Danyang said: "It is said that the blood princess formed a dark alliance in the name of the 'dark devil', and invited all the small gangs and factions who were bullied and suppressed by the Cao An gang in the past to join. These people are probably the 'dark alliance' 'Middleman."

Liu Sang asked suspiciously: "Even if they have the title of Dark Demon, these people come from three religions, how could they really listen to her orders?"

Qiu Danyang said: "Whether righteousness or name is good, they are not as important as interests. These people know that if they can defeat the Cao An gang, the gang they belong to will also have great development. Common interests come first. Be more united." He said in a low voice, "It's just that there is a common interest, but the blood princess can gather such a mess of scattered sand together so quietly that even the Chu Clan and the Cao An Gang can't detect their movements , her ability is really extraordinary."

Liu Sang's heart moved, and he said: "Although these people fought against the Cao An Gang for the common benefit, after destroying the Cao An Gang..."

Qiu Danyang said indifferently: "It is conceivable that by then, Princess Xue will know these people very well, and may even take the opportunity of fighting against the Cao An Gang to place her insiders in these small gangs. Those who follow her will prosper, and those who oppose her will perish. On the one hand, she will promise these people greater prospects and benefits, and on the other hand, she will use ruthless methods to deal with those who dare to resist her. Qianglong Don’t suppress the local snake, we assist the Blood Prison Gate to destroy the local snake, and the one who will replace Cao An’s gang will be a poisonous dragon that will do more harm and be more terrifying.”

Liu Sang was silent.

"The son-in-law seems to know something about the blood princess." Qiu Danyang put down the binoculars, glanced at him, and said slowly, "I would like to ask Rong Qiu to give me some advice. Regarding the blood princess, the gate of the blood prison and the secret prison she controlled Meng, if the son-in-law can't control it and keep it for his own use, then it's best to destroy it as soon as possible, so as not to leave any future troubles, otherwise, I'm afraid it's just raising a tiger to cause trouble, and maybe it will be bitten back at any time."

Liu Sang said slowly: "Well... I see..."

There was a scuffle on Shibaotan, Liu Sang looked up the river with binoculars, and saw a cold and deep man standing on the deck of the big merchant ship, although it was the first time he saw this man, Liu Sang already knew , this person is Kui An, the leader of Cao An's gang, and Kui Canyou's father.

Beside Kui'an, there were two more people, one was the deputy gang leader "Tie Dan Long Yang" Jin Yang Ji, and the other was a rather dignified old man.Jin Yangji was sitting on a wicker chair, and there was a little boy sitting between his legs. The boy looked terrified and trembling all over.

Qiu Danyang said: "The person next to Kui'an and Jinyang Festival should be Tai Sangong of the Cao An Gang. This man is resourceful and resourceful, and he is the wise general of the Cao An Gang. The development direction and various strategies of the Cao An Gang mostly depend on him."

Liu Sang moved the binoculars back again, and saw that the dark alliance had a slight upper hand. Although these people were mobs, they were all members of gangs who were bloodthirsty.Even so.Cao An's gang guarded the silver this time, but they did their best, although they were at a disadvantage.But it is not chaotic.

Liu Sang said: "If the Blood Prison Gate only relies on these people, although it can lead the snake out of the hole, it cannot lead the tiger away from the mountain."

Qiu Danyang nodded.

***

On the Diejiang merchant ship, Kui'an, Jin Yangji, and Tai Sangong also watched the battlefield on the shore with cold eyes.

Jin Yang Ji put his arms around the boy in his arms.He sneered and said, "They're all little fleas, why don't we all go up together and kill them all. Let's see who else dares to fight against us."

Tai Sangong said slowly: "If only relying on these people, the Blood Prison Gate would not be able to develop to this stage at all. Besides, these are people from other guilds that have always been at odds with us in Nanyuan. The Blood Prison Gate has not come out yet. Mostly they want to rely on these people to lure away our combat power, and then rely on sneak attacks to hijack the ship."

Jin Yangji said: "If you don't send people, you will not be able to hold on to the front."

Tai Sangong said: "Let Deputy Chief Shen go."

Kui An nodded and gave an order.

On the nearby warship, a big man rushed up with the entire ship's masters.vertical battlefield.

That man was the "cold judge" Shen Su, one of the two vice leaders of Cao An's gang.

"Cold-faced judge" Shen Su had a gloomy face, holding a golden ring sword, he killed several people in a row, and what he brought was also a strong opponent. With their joining, on Shibaotan, the dark alliance, Keep losing.

Suddenly, a group of black clouds rushed over, and there were constant nursery rhymes in it, but there were ghosts crying and gods howling.

Tai Sangong sneered and said: "This is the Blood Prison Sect's Heavenly Extermination Formation. As soon as Vice-Clan Master Shen went out to fight, they attacked directly. They really wanted to divert the tiger away from the mountain and rob the ship directly."

Kui'an sneered and said, "Three Dukes really have no plan left, the main force of the Blood Prison Gate has been released, and we will let it be destroyed here tonight."

The turbulent wind and mist came rushing in, drowning all the boats, hundreds of will-o'-the-wisps floating around, hundreds of boys flying around, mysterious energy flashing, blood everywhere, screaming around.The Jinyang Festival moved his face: "I have been saying 'Eighteen Boys from the Blood Prison Gate' all day long, so there are so many hidden?"

Tai Sangong said sternly: "So what? The more you come, the more you die."

***

On the top of the mountain, Liu Sang looked at the black mist hanging over the river, and said in a deep voice, "The Blood Prison Gate has made a move."

Qiu Danyang said in surprise: "Although Shen Su was entangled on Shibaotan, Kui'an, Jin Yangji, Tai Sangong and Cao An gang's main combat forces were all on board, and the Blood Prison Gate dared to directly attack the ship. What did they hide?" How much strength do you have?"

Through the binoculars, Liu Sang looked at the howling wind and the black mist, and said with a wry smile: "There are at least a hundred of these boys, and it seems that each of them has the strength of a quasi-grandmaster." It is unreasonable, the former Blood Prison Gate never had such strength, nor did they have so many boys."

When he, Xia Yingchen and Xia Zhaowu traveled from Ningyun City to Ying City, they killed a group of "Eighteen Boys". What I encountered were these hundreds of boys. It can be said that they have no way out.

At that time, if the Blood Prison Gate had such strength, it would not have been destroyed at all.

Where did these boys come from?

Hundreds of boys besieged the warship, the "dark alliance" side on Shibaotan was also in high spirits, and the Cao'an gang was in a critical situation.

Suddenly, there were dozens of fast boats going down the river, and each boat had dozens of people. The fast boats rushed down like arrows, and hundreds of Cao An's gang jumped up one after another.

Liu Sang said in a low voice: "It turns out that the Cao An gang already knew that they would be attacked here, and they had already set up an ambush, waiting to wipe out the Blood Prison Gate and those who dared to oppose them."

A large number of Cao An's gang members joined in, causing those boys to suffer heavy casualties, and hurriedly retreated. As soon as the boys from the Blood Prison Gate retreated, the morale of the so-called "Dark Alliance" that was originally a mob on the beach was wiped out, and they retreated repeatedly.

On the merchant ship, Tai Sangong said in a low voice: "The Blood Prison Gate acts secretly. If they are allowed to retreat successfully, I don't know how many disasters will happen in the future. Now that they have been lured out, we must catch them all at once."

Kui'an said: "San Gong and Yang Jin set out to protect these silver taels and send them into the city. I will deal with them myself." With a shake of his arms, he led a large number of Cao An's gang to go ashore, and killed them in a large scale.

On the top of the mountain, Liu Sang watched the boys from the Blood Prison Sect and the members of the gang flee. Kui'an led the crowd to chase and kill them. Tai Sangong and Jinyang Ji ordered the merchant ships and the two warships on the left and right to go down the river to Youyi City. Let out a breath: "Cao An's gang has been tricked."

Qiu Danyang said: "It seems that the blood princess is deliberately leaking the news to lure the Cao An gang to set up an ambush here. Then let the main force go out and sacrifice many people's lives to lure the enemy. Sangong An and Tai, even I, must fall into the trap."

Liu Sang cupped his hands: "I'll go to the Wanhua Cave first."

Qiu Danyang smiled and said, "Brother Liu, just go!"

Liu Sang went to Wanhua Cave with the green smoke.

***

Liu Sang rushed to Wanhua Cave.Seeing that the battle has already started, Chen Shenhe and Xiang Tiange personally led Momen elites to break out of the chaotic stone forest and attack the merchant ships.Cao An's gang was battered and unable to resist.

But this is also a normal thing, Cao An's side, the miscalculation is a miscalculation, because they never thought that the Blood Prison Sect not only united with the small gangs in Nanyuan, but also joined hands with the Mo Sect.The Blood Prison Gate is notorious, but the Mo Gate has always regarded itself as chivalrous.The two parties will cooperate with each other unexpectedly, and no one will believe it if they say it.

Tai Sangong has seen the main force of the Blood Prison Gate and the "Dark Alliance" with his own eyes, and he was surprised that the Blood Princess could gather such a force in this area.But he had already set up an ambush, so naturally he was not afraid, and wanted to take this opportunity to wipe them all out, but he didn't expect that the blood princess had a plan. From the beginning, he deliberately leaked the news, let the Cao An gang set up an ambush, and then pretended to be a trick , Tune the tiger away from the mountain.

Until the war subsided, the merchant ship carrying one hundred thousand taels of silver fell into the hands of Momen. Liu Sang swept to the bow and saw Chen Shenhe and Xiang Tiange, the bow and stern were covered in blood, and the corpses of Cao An's gang, who escorted the silver taels, passed by. flow down.

When Liu Sang asked about the situation, Chen Shen said, "Three Dukes of Tai escaped, but the Jinyang Festival has already fallen into our hands."

Xiang Tiange said: "I was going forward and wanted to finish Jinyang Sacrifice with my own hands, but after a few fights, he fell down by himself."

Due to time constraints, those Mohists hurriedly set sail, sailed down the Huaqu, and drove the merchant ship to Shuangzi Gorge.

When Liu Sang came to the stern of the boat, he saw Jin Yangji lying on the ground, beside him, kneeling the trembling little boy.Liu Sang was silent for a while, ignoring the Jinyang Festival, but looked at the little boy: "I don't know the blood princess, what's the new explanation?"

The little boy stopped trembling, but opened his eyes wide and looked at him in surprise.

Seeing his expression, Liu Sang was even more sure... This little boy is also a "boy" of the Blood Prison Gate!

***

There are wings in the city, the pier.

Chu Tiannan stood there, anxiously waiting.

After a quarter of an hour, I saw a large group of people rushing towards one person. The person was a little fatter, but he was dressed in a jade crown. It was Chu Tiancheng, the eldest son of Chu Yugong, the leader of the Chu Clan.

Chu Tiancheng flew over, and a large number of guards scattered around. He looked at Chu Tiannan and shouted, "What happened?"

Chu Tiannan bent down and said: "The 10 taels of silver brought by Cao An's gang was robbed again."

Chu Tiancheng yelled: "What?"

Chu Tiannan had no choice but to say it again.

Chu Tiancheng said angrily: "How do these people do things?"

Chu Tiannan also smiled wryly. The Cao An Gang is the largest gang in Nanyuan anyway. It is unreasonable that such a large sum of money was robbed twice in a row.He said: "Silver was robbed, and it took less than half an hour until now, and it happened on the river near Wanhua Cave."

Chu Tiancheng said coldly: "I didn't expect Kui'an to be so unreliable, and he will enter the city soon, and such things will happen. But those people dare to rob money outside the city, they really don't take us seriously. Such a big A boat, 10 taels of silver, in a hurry, they can't just take it away."

Turning around, he shouted to the two lieutenants behind him: "Mobilize the soldiers and horses immediately, and follow me out of the city." Then he said to Chu Tiannan: "You also follow." Chu Tiannan agreed.

The sound of hoofbeats continued, and soldiers and horses assembled.Chu Tiannan also went to fetch the horse, but a man was sweating and rushed over: "Master, master."

Chu Tiannan looked around and saw that it was Cai Bo from his own house who came. It was so late at night and it was an eventful time. Cai Bo came to look for him at this time, which made him quite dissatisfied.Chu Tiannan frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Panting, Cai Bo respectfully handed over a package of things: "Someone asked this old slave to give this thing to the master."

Chu Tiannan took it suspiciously and opened it, but was startled suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.What was placed in the cloth bag was a string of emerald beads and a finger.That finger was very slender, apparently it was cut from a girl's hand, but he recognized the emerald bead, it was his daughter who pestered him a few days ago and asked him to spend more than 100 taels of silver to buy it for her of.

A cut off little finger was put together with the emerald beads he bought for his daughter. It was self-evident what this meant.He was startled, and wanted to rush back home, but he saw Cai Bo, who was bending over and humping respectfully in front of him, suddenly raised his head, a strange light flashed in his eyes, his mouth moved slightly, A voice that only he could hear: "Mr. Chu, Princess Blood asked me to say hello to you."

The voice of "Cai Bo" at this moment is completely different from his original old voice. It was not until this time that Chu Tiannan realized that the person in front of him was not "Cai Bo" from Lu's mansion at all. The "Cai Bo" who had seen countless times looked exactly the same, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Mr. Chu, just rest assured," "Cai Bo" said in a low voice, "Even though Qianyuan has suffered a bit, she is still alive. As long as you do what we say, Princess Blood will release her."

Chu Tiannan said weakly: "What do you want me to do?"

"Cai Bo" said with a low smile, "Actually, it's not too difficult..."
