The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 99

The next day, the weather was fine, but the snow did not melt.

Jiang Tao put on the heavy armor specially made for him by his uncle, and carried the extended and heavier Qi family sword on his waist. He selected 50 people from the tiger and leopard riders, and walked all morning to reach the water village of the "death money" bandit leader.

I saw that the water village was several square kilometers in size, with stone walls on three sides and a height of three meters, surrounded by water on one side, and dozens of boats of various sizes were docking on the shore.

There is only one door open on these three stone walls. Before Jiang Tao and others approached, dozens of archers appeared on the stone wall. One of them was wearing a padded jacket, holding a waist knife and shouted sharply: "Who is coming?"

At this time, the leader of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Jiang Xin, was fine, he insisted on following, and hurriedly said: "The second leader of the Black Tiger Army is here to pay a visit to your leader, why don't you open the door?"

Yesterday, Jiang Tao became more careful, and ordered the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army who gave gifts to "death money" to deliberately conceal their identities, not to mention that he was the commander of the Black Tiger Army. Will also cast a mouse.

"Hmph, the voice is quite loud, let the boss report." The man glared at Jiang Xin, and left without saluting.

If Jiang Shi had already yelled at him, but Jiang Xin smiled and said, "Please go ahead, don't take too long."

Jiang Tao watched coldly and didn't answer, but he felt a little uncomfortable. It seems that yesterday's thousand taels of silver was given away for nothing.

...........
"Death for money" heard the report from his little boss, and sneered: "How many people are here?"

The little leader looked at the table full of wine and food, swallowed his saliva and said, "Around fifty soldiers, and they are carrying a small box."

"Gather all the little ones and give me some energy. These bandits have brought us money again, haha."

"Death for money" laughed loudly, leading hundreds of people, swarming out of the gate.

……

Jiang Tao saw that the leader was wearing brocade clothes, with a sword hanging from his waist, with a fat head and big ears, and a red complexion. He was about [-] years away, and he opened his bloody mouth and laughed from a long distance: "So it's a brother of the Black Tiger Army. I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Jiang Tao was startled, could it be that this person is "death for money", and said with a smile: "I am Jiang Heizi, the righteous brother of Heihu, see the head of the family."

Unexpectedly, the man didn't answer, but rushed over quickly, widened his eyes, took an exaggerated breath and said: "Brother is so handsome, the Black Tiger Army is really extraordinary, even ordinary soldiers are equipped with such good mountain pattern armor .”

He turned his head to look at his subordinates again, feeling very shabby, he couldn't help sighing, and then greedily stared at the armor on Jiang Tao's body.

Jiang Tao was startled when he saw him rushing towards him. He hurriedly grasped the handle of the knife, and then he calmed down and said with a smile: "Since the master likes it, I will present ten sets of armor like this someday."

"Haha, okay, Mr. Zheng has made you a friend. Let's go and drink together." Mr. Zheng finally recovered his normal expression, and suddenly laughed, holding Jiang Tao's hand familiarly, and walked towards the water village.

Jiang Tao's heart skipped a beat, this person should not be underestimated, nor frightened, he strode to follow, but he was in a dilemma: "Do you want to take this opportunity to kill this person?"

He was completely sure, and immediately vetoed it. He didn't know if this person was really "death for money". Let's see first, and it would be best to subdue this water bandit intact.

As soon as he entered the gate of the village, he saw two platoons of strong men, each armed with weapons, and shouted in order, which was full of momentum, and the sound shook the whole field.

If the cowards were afraid, they would turn around and run away in fright, but tiger and leopard riders are all elites, so why would they care?

"It's a big show off!"

Jiang Tao muttered in his heart, pulled out his hand, cupped his fists and said, "I don't know the family name yet, can you tell me?"

After all, he is not used to being held by a man's arm.

"My surname is Zheng, and my name is Xuan. I made my brother laugh." Zheng Xuan said casually. In fact, he had been observing in secret. He was surprised when he saw the performance of the Black Tiger Army. He really is an elite in all battles. It seems that the rumors are true. .

"Haha, good name, Mr. Zheng's army is full of fine food, and his life is happy. I admire him very much. I heard that Mr. Zheng's methods are as good as heaven, so I come here to ask for help. I don't know what Mr. Zheng thinks?" Jiang Tao looked around and saw that there were still people on board. A lot of figures moved in their hearts and hurriedly tried to say.

"Where, where, they are all rural skills, how can they compare with the Black Tiger Army? Brother, speak straight, and the master will never shirk." Zheng Xuan said politely, patted his chest, and looked extremely bold .

Jiang Tao was very suspicious, and became more vigilant in his heart. He smiled and said, "Brother, I haven't seen the sea yet. I don't know if the head of the family has ever gone out to sea?"

"How can these small boats survive the ravages of the waves, it makes my brothers laugh."

At this time, he had already arrived at the hall, Zheng Xuan waved his hand, and immediately more than a dozen young women served the wine and dishes, and then stood around with their heads bowed.

"Oh, I don't know if the head of the family can get copper, sulfur, saltpeter, lead, etc., my Black Tiger Army will buy them in large quantities at a high price."

It seemed that this person would enjoy himself quite a bit, Jiang Tao sat down at the head, and said solemnly.

Now there are thirty people in the hall, and there are only two tiger and leopard riders behind Jiang Tao, and the rest of them are blocked outside the hall. Jiang Tao knows it well and is not frightened.

When he heard the "high price", Zheng Xuan's eyes lit up obviously, he pulled a woman over, hugged her in his arms to play with, but was startled in his heart, it seemed that the Black Tiger Army was about to go to war again, and he had no intention of fighting against the Tartars , it is enough to have fun here, but don't hurt the fish in the pond then.

After a while, he sighed and said: "It's hard, copper and lead can be barely obtained, but sulfur and saltpeter are very troublesome. Brother, I can't do anything."

"Oh, how about doubling the market price?"

In the future, the Black Tiger Army will need a lot of gunpowder, carbon is easy to get, and although nitrate can be collected in toilets and other places, the amount is too small. Jiang Tao knows the importance of these substances, so naturally he doesn't care about the price.

Zheng Xuan still shook his head, and then concentrated on eating, not talking to Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao immediately became angry, suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "Three times the price, as much as you want."

"Okay, deal, brother, don't be polite, drink to your heart's content, but the master has a condition, and the Black Tiger Army must abide by it."

Zheng Xuan laughed again, but his tone was very tough.

"Okay, the head of the family can say that, as long as it is not too harsh, I can still be the head of the house." Jiang Tao tried his best to calm down his tone. No matter how he suppressed it, his eyes became sharper than before.

"Happy!" Zheng Xuan pushed the young woman away, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Your black tiger army is so powerful that I can't control it, but this river belongs to me, and your black tiger army is not allowed to step into it." , otherwise don’t blame the head of the family for turning his face and denying people.”

"Haha, it turned out to be so simple. Okay, Heizi toasts the master. We need to get closer in the future." Jiang Tao laughed and walked towards Zheng Xuan with the wine, but his heart was filled with murderous intent. He hated others threatening him the most. My mind turned sharply, and I had already made up my mind.

Zheng Xuan was relieved now that the Black Tiger Army was rising strongly, and he was powerless to fight against it, but as long as the opponent didn't have a navy army, they couldn't do anything to him, and there were huge profits to be made, so why not do it?
Five steps!

Three steps!

Two steps!

Jiang Tao sneered, threw the wine glass directly, and there was a click. The tiger and leopard riders outside the lobby immediately became violent when they heard the sound of dropping the glass, and the dozens of water bandits standing by were killed before they could react.

Scarlet hot blood splashed on the snow, sending out water vapor, and hundreds of water bandits in the distance were shocked. Where did this savage come from? It is too bold for 50 people to dare to be enemies with more than a thousand people.

Jiang Xin ordered [-] tigers and leopards to ride into the hall to support Jiang Tao, and at the same time lit the arrows, and led the remaining [-] people to guard tightly outside the hall.

"Hei Hu is really reckless."

At this time, Cheng Zhang was leading 500 people to ambush five miles away from Zheng Xuan's water village. This was almost all the troops in the base. Master."

PS: Let’s grow fat and kill again, everyone should support us a lot
