back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 289
At the beginning of night, a crescent moon shines in the water, and the faint moonlight is reflected in it.The breeze blew through the reeds, and the calm lake rippled.Such a quiet appearance, as if the great battle in the daytime had never happened.

Taking advantage of the dark night, a warship that was still in good condition sneaked into the Hutou Peak in the water.

Hutoufeng is one of the only three gangs left in Liangshanshuibo at this time, and the leader is called Shancai.Probably because the name was not well obtained, and the homonym scattered wealth. Before it fell into grass, he lost all the wealth left by his father.In the early years, Shancai was doing business. For some reason, he lost money on everything he sold, and rarely made a profit.His father died early, and no one advised him.The last time I borrowed money to resell silk, I wanted to make a steady profit, but I was capsized in the waterway.In the end, all hopes of making money were shattered, and I still owed a buttock of debts.Not daring to return to his hometown, and having no other way out, he had to fall into the grass and become a thief in the nearby Liangshan River.More than 20 years later, Shan Cai, relying on his knowledge of travel, really pulled up a team of his own and established Hutouwu.

A few days ago, Hao She, the strategist of the Flying Fish Gang, personally delivered 500 taels of silver.Seeing Shan Cai with an open eye for money, I have long been salivating.The nature of a businessman, when he saw the white money, he kept thinking in his heart: "These two thousand and five hundred coins, how many passing merchant ships have to be robbed to make up enough..."

Hutouwu is not as confident as the Flying Fish Gang, who dare to go ashore to rob rich gentry and landlords.They still rely on water to draw water, doing the business of robbing passing merchant ships.However, Liangshanshuipo is notorious. Except for those who don’t know the details of Liangshanshuibo and dare to sail here, the merchant ships in the past have disappeared.

As a result, Hutouwu's living conditions will be difficult.Otherwise, how could Shancai put a mere 500 taels of silver in his eyes?He came from a wealthy businessman, and he had never seen such a big scene!
It's just that the situation is stronger than the people, and the Flying Fish Gang happened to hit Qicun in Hutouwu.With a single fortune of more than a thousand people under his command, even if he doesn't agree, he has to agree.Otherwise, after another half a month, with no money and food in hand, Hutouwu can be disbanded directly.

The Hutouwu minions without financial incentives have lost their enthusiasm for a long time. The warship touched the front of their water village more than ten feet away, and they have not yet been summoned.It wasn't until the warship docked that the minions noticed the abnormality, and before they had time to warn, they were knocked unconscious.

The rest of the vigilant minion, his legs went limp, fell to his knees, cried and said in a loud voice: "Grandpa, spare your life, grandpa, spare your life, the little one is just eating, and never thought of going against the grandpas!" !"

At this moment, a rather burly but extremely tired middle-aged man got off the warship. He had a long beard and was quite elegant.Black face, copper bell eyes, two eyebrows that reach straight to the sky.A suit of armor is expensive.If this guy knows the goods, he will definitely recognize that this is the armor of Yuhou, the naval commander of the Dashun court.The big man put one hand on the handle of the knife, and said in a muffled voice: "You lead me the way, I want to find you masters!"

That guy nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Young one... I will lead the way..."

Behind the big man, a scribe dressed as a teacher hurriedly stopped him and said: "The head of the family, if you go in so rashly, I'm afraid you will be ambushed! This Hutou Peak is the same as that of Liangshan. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We are here to escape. It is not appropriate to..."

The big man said angrily: "Shancai kid doesn't believe what he says. How can I, Zhu, be inferior to this man? Brother, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but I am so angry that I must insist on Shancai." That kid, give me an explanation!"

The scribe couldn't persuade him, because he knew that the big man in front of him had a bad temper, and when he was angry, others couldn't persuade him.Just like the Flying Fish Gang provoked him this time, without a word, all the warships will start fighting.The scribes refused to listen to their persuasion repeatedly, but the result can be imagined.Given the disparity between the enemy and ourselves, even if the big man has the martial arts that can rival ten thousand people, so what?Water battles are not land battles, nor are they a battlefield for displaying personal martial arts. When the general situation is over, what can a flagship that cannot support itself do?

That's right, this is the only remaining flagship of the Qinglong Gang that was mauled by the Flying Fish Gang. On it is the leader of the Qinglong Gang, Zhu Quanyuan, and his right-hand man, the scribe just now, Bai Tongyu.The rest are just a bunch of little guys, a bunch of little bosses were either killed or captured, and the Qinglong Gang has existed in name only.

Zhu Quanjian drew out the heavy Fengzui knife, put it on the young man's neck, and ordered the young man to lead the way.

A group of dozens of people hadn't reached the foot of the mountain, but torches had already been set up around them, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.

Bai Tongyu knew that Hutouwu had already made preparations.He sighed in his heart, after the defeat, he lost all fighting spirit, knowing that the front was a dangerous place, but Zhu Quanyuan wanted to break through it, as a scholar, he knew benevolence and righteousness, and he would not hesitate to face difficulties.In fact, in his heart, why didn't he hope that there would be a miracle in this trip, and rely on the strength of Hutouwu and Xueshanhui to achieve a big comeback?

Now that the torch was lit, it extinguished the hopes in Bai Tongyu's heart.With a sigh, he lowered his head.

But Zhu Quanyuan was different. Seeing that Hutouwu had been prepared, he was even more furious, and shouted: "Shancai villain, come out for your grandpa Zhu!"

The people holding torches all around are all from Hutouwu.Under the torch, there were arrows shining brightly, all aiming at these dozens of people.Zhu Quandian's subordinates had already panicked into a group, they had no choice but to form a circle, enclosing Bai Tongyu and Zhu Quandian.

Zhu Quanyuan was the only one who did not change his attitude.He scolded more than a dozen sentences in a row, and he was so angry that he directly spread his voice throughout Hutou Peak.

After half a cup of tea time, the torch in front of Zhu Quanyu finally moved away slowly, and Shan Cai, who was fat and looked like a big businessman, finally showed his figure, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, don't come here without any harm." ?I heard that you were defeated, I don’t know how worried I was, I thought that heaven and man would be separated forever. I didn’t expect that brother Zhu didn’t even lose a single hair. Congratulations?”

When Zhu Quandian heard this, he was so angry that one Buddha was born, and the other ascended to heaven. He pointed at Shan Cai's nose and cursed: "Shan Cai, you despicable villain, you don't keep your word. If you promise to fight the enemy together, I will send someone to tell you. News, you said to raise troops immediately, but in the end, only my Qinglong Gang fought alone! Just ask, is there such an unscrupulous person like you in Jianghu!"

Shan Caipi smiled and said: "Brother Zhu, calm down, calm down. It's not that the younger brother doesn't want to fight, but he has no money and food, so how can he raise troops? If it wasn't for the Flying Fish Gang knowing about my difficulties in Hutouwu and sending money and silver , I’m afraid it’s difficult for my little brother to eat now.”
