The beauty is endless

Chapter 19 Ji Ci
This "Brother" finally awakened Murong Qi's memory.

——The beautiful girl is Ji Che's younger sister, whose name is Ji Ci.

But Ji Ci and Ji Che are not related by blood.The previous gang leader, Ji Mang, was neither married nor had any children. Although Ji Che had been with him since he was a child, he had never been naturalized because he was the orphan of a distant relative. Therefore, when Ji Che was ten years old, Ji Mang adopted a six-year-old boy. The orphan girl, named Ji Ci, treated her as her own daughter.

After all, Ji Che and Ji Ci were the real childhood sweethearts. She was two years younger than Murong Qi, and she often played with them before Murong Qi entered the palace.It's just that she was the youngest at that time and her body was very weak, so she couldn't play as crazy as the three of them.Murong Qi still remembers that every time he fights with Ji Che, that thin and white little girl cheers her brother up with blushing on one side, compared to the other side who took the opportunity to set up a gamble and was extremely busy Murong Jiu is simply not worthy of being an older brother!
According to Xiaojiu's gossip, Uncle Ji adopted Xiaoci not only to pity her for living on the streets at a young age, but also to plan for his nephew.Ji Che was taciturn and had a bad temper since he was a child. The old leader was always worried that he would not be able to marry a wife in the future. Anyway, Xiao Ci grew up with him. They knew each other well and got along well. He was really the best candidate for the wife of the leader.

Of course, because Ji Lao's gang leader has been traveling all over the world, and Ji Che has never responded positively, this gossip has never been confirmed.But this matter is not entirely groundless, Ji Che has a cold temper, and he is indifferent to anyone no matter what, even the Murong brothers and sisters have never heard a few gentle and caring words from him.Only this younger sister, his attitude is different, he takes good care of her, protects her thoughtfully, and doesn't even say a serious word.

I didn't expect the little girl to look so juicy after a few years of absence.

It was even unexpected that the reunion would be under such circumstances.

Now that he recognized Ji Ci, and then looked at Liao Cangzhou's ferocious face, Murong Qi felt furious in his heart. Before Ji Che could say anything, he pointed out his hand first, and cursed: "Tie a man who is powerless to bind a chicken!" With the girl as a hostage, are you still a man? A cowardly bastard, despicable and shameless!"

Liao Cangzhou, who was grinning at first, was caught off guard by the yelling, he was stunned, and said angrily, "Who are you?"

"Me?" Murong Qi raised his eyebrows as he looked at the men's clothes on his body, "You don't deserve to know my name!"

"Looking for death!" Liao Cangzhou suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and with a wave of his hand, five or six big men rushed out from behind, all rushing towards Murong Qi.Murong Qi tiptoed, swayed past a big man lightly, and shouted at the same time: "The shy turtle is angry, it's shameless to bully more than less!"

"Seven..." Ji Che, who finally came back to his senses, was about to stop her messing around, but suddenly met her sly eyes, his heart moved, he swallowed the words again, then turned around, and said in a deep voice, " Liao Cangzhou, what do you want?"

Liao Cangzhou glanced at Murong Qi who was besieged by a group of people and couldn't get out of trouble, and then at Ji Che's dignified face, he immediately felt relieved, and said loudly: "You gave me a look and an arm back then, but now you just need to poke your own eye and cut yourself off. Arm, I will let your baby sister go!"

Ji Ci immediately wailed cooperatively: "Brother, don't—"

Ji Che signaled her not to be afraid with his eyes, but his hand slowly moved towards the "thunder vertebra" on the back of his waist.

"Even so, these people can't trap me." There was obvious arrogance in his voice, "As long as I get out of here alive, how long do you think you can get away with it?"

"Ha! Do you think I only have so many people?" Liao Cangzhou laughed strangely when he heard the words, and pushed Ji Ci to his subordinates. He put his remaining right hand into his mouth and whistled. He saw stars in the grass not far away. Fires lit up little by little, and after a while, they gathered around. After a rough calculation, the number of people was at least twice that of just now.

Seeing Ji Che's silence, Liao Cangzhou couldn't hide his complacency even more: "You brat, didn't you expect me to bring so many people here? No matter how good your martial arts are, it doesn't matter how good your martial arts are? Even if Lei Zhui ranks first in the weapons list, today I will break it down." My hand, if I'm sensible, I'll cut off my arm first! Xiao Ci will call me 'Uncle Ten' anyway, and I don't want to..."

"Is all your people here?"

He was interrupted by Ji Che before he finished speaking. Liao Cangzhou felt very unhappy, and his expression became more ferocious: "To catch you, these people are more than enough."

"it is good."

Ji Che just uttered a single word, and with a sudden movement of the finger placed behind his back, the mechanism on the ring of the middle finger bounced off, a golden light suddenly rose into the dark night, and a dazzling spark bloomed with the ear-piercing whistling sound , stays for a long time.

Liao Cangzhou was originally the General Fei Ge in the gang, so he naturally knew what such a signal meant, and his face changed drastically. Almost instantly, a large piece of light suddenly lit up on the river a hundred steps behind Ji Che, blowing with the wind. Unlike the swaying flames, this dazzling light is actually composed of countless copper wind lamps. The crystal glass from the West firmly protects the fire core in the copper lamp body, and it remains motionless under strong winds.What's more ingenious is that these glasses are designed at special angles, just to reflect the light layer by layer, making it brighter.

Countless lights illuminated the river near the wharf, and the continuous drizzle was also visible. The frenzied wind blowing from the river stirred up Ji Che's black clothes and hair. He was just a person, Standing in front of the huge background that is as bright as day, but pressed so firmly, the indifferent eyes reflect the brilliance of the stars, which makes people feel timid.

"You...you don't want to lie to me, this is just a bluff!" Liao Cangzhou managed to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, but he was still a little weak when he should have spoken outrightly, "The waters in this area have long been controlled by me. The boat is blocking the channel, and there are all my people on it, it is impossible for anyone to rescue you!"

As soon as his words fell, there was a loud "bang" in the air, and a spark exploded less than two steps in front of his feet. When he looked down, a pothole the size of a sea bowl appeared on the ground, and the air was filled with The pungent smell of gunpowder.

"Fire... firecracker!" Liao Cangzhou's deputy, who was knowledgeable, yelled suddenly when he saw it.Those minions who hadn't had time to recover their senses heard the shout, and suddenly they were all excited, and they all looked towards the place where the sparks flew.On the bow of one of the ships in the middle, a tall figure was removing the firecracker in his hand, revealing a square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was Guo Zichen, Ji Che's most trusted manager.

It was only then that Liao Cangzhou discovered that when Ji Che went ashore, he didn't bring the fleet manager who was always inseparable at all.The joy of a successful sneak attack made him ignore such an important and abnormal thing!
The firecracker was originally a thing of the former dynasty, but because of the ban imposed by the new dynasty, the technology of making the gun went overseas. After a hundred years, the Western caravan on the other side of the sea will improve the more delicate firecracker belt. Back to Dayou, because this thing is too lethal, and gunpowder and iron ore have always been under the control of the imperial court, so only the army directly under the emperor's direct control has elite soldiers equipped with firecrackers. You, probably only the Hongshui Gang with a strong background can produce a whole team of real guys.

Although most of the minions present were the ship bandits, water pirates, and gangsters that Liao Cangzhou recruited later, there were also a small number of former members of the Hongshui Gang who followed him. Naturally, they knew the power of the firecrackers, and they knew more about the accuracy of the general manager Guo Zichen's subordinates. ——If this shot was aimed at Liao Cangzhou, he might have been blasted to pieces by gunpowder.

Where is this unexpected sneak attack?It is clear that they are the fish in the net and the turtles in the urn. Judging by the number of wind lanterns in that area, even if there are twice as many of them, it is not enough to see them.

Someone's legs are already trembling, and they are planning to find a chance to apply oil on the soles of their feet.

Liao Cangzhou had already figured this out, and the expression on his face became even more ugly.So many ships, so many people, and powerful weapons—all these, in any case, cannot be prepared in a short time.Just when he thought he had lured Ji Che into the siege, Ji Che had already spread his net, waiting for him to take the bait.

Liao Cangzhou was so angry and resentful that after so many years of business, he fell under the hands of this yellow-haired boy twice, and couldn't help scolding his mother.

No... No, I haven't lost yet!

He suddenly remembered the chips in his hand, and with a smirk, he pulled Ji Ci by his side, and the dagger in his hand quickly rested on her fair neck.

"Brat, if you dare to touch me, I'll kill her!"

"Oh, that's why, young master, I hate the guy who doesn't care about the fragrance and cherish the jade the most!" A clear and playful voice came from behind unexpectedly, Liao Cangzhou only felt a chill in his back, and before he could see what was going on, his right hand stabbed The pain caused him to let go of his fingers, but before the dagger landed, a foot was stretched out from behind and kicked and sent, and the handle of the dagger was held in a person's hand, with fluttering white clothes and a charming smile. Murong Qi.

Liao Cangzhou's wrist was bleeding profusely, but he didn't have any extra hands to bandage it up. He looked at the assistant who had acupuncture points tapped at some point beside him, and then at the few big men outside the crowd who had already been lying on the ground silently. The rumble of the river slapping against the shore was accompanied by the light crackling of the burning torches. General Fei Ge, who had experienced many battles, suddenly felt a sense of sadness that he was dying. It has revealed a bit of gray defeat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Murong Qi hastily pulled Ji Ci away, cut off the rope with the dagger in his hand, pulled her hand up and looked left and right, and saw a worn-out red streak on those white and slender wrists. He couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Does it hurt? Don't be afraid, little sister Xiaoci, I'll help you with the medicine right away, and I promise you won't leave any scars!"

But Ji Ci shrank his hand back, and said timidly: "Thank you...thank you young master, it's just...it's just that I don't know you, so please let go."

Murong Qi was taken aback for a moment, and was instantly happy, but tightened her hand tightly, and said with a chuckle: "You don't know me, but I know you, I've always wanted to see you..."

"You are..." Ji Ci was stunned, looked her up and down a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You are long..."

Before the word "brother" could be said, Ji Che interrupted her: "Qiqi, stop making trouble, and bring Xiaoci here."

Ji Ci froze for a moment, and said in surprise, "Sister Qiqi? You... are sister Qiqi!"

Murong Qi winked at her, and wanted to tease the little girl for a while longer, but Ji Che's important matter was the most important thing after all, so she held those tender little hands and swaggered back contentedly.

Guo Zichen at the bow over there shot down the place with a gun, and was loudly persuading the group of minions who had already lost their minds to surrender with a firecracker.Seeing Murong Qi and Ji Ci come back, Ji Che leaned slightly to one side, keeping them behind, and then said to Liao Cangzhou who was a few steps away with a gloomy face: "In terms of seniority, I should call you Uncle Ten. In terms of my relationship with all the uncles, I also showed mercy to Uncle Ten, but the accommodation can only be done once, and there must be no second time, otherwise the world will think that I am not strict with the Hongshui Gang, and I will not be able to explain when the leader of the gang returns in the future .”

The "leader" in Ji Che's mouth refers to Ji Mang, the old leader of the gang. Although Ji Che is now taking over the Hongshui Gang's affairs, Ji Mang didn't officially pass on the throne before he left, so the gang's disciples still call Ji Che the "young master" .

Seeing that Liao Cangzhou was still staring at him without saying a word, Ji Che said word by word: "The Hongshui gang has an order that those who commit crimes without reason will be punished with twenty lashes, and those who embezzle money will have their hands cut off more than a thousand times, and they will be blackmailed and robbed." Those who use martial arts will be expelled from the gang, and those who rebel will be strangled."

As he spoke, he walked forward slowly. The "Thunder Vertebra" was obviously not in his hand, but the aura all over his body forced Liao Cangzhou to back up involuntarily. He backed up three steps in a row until he heard "strangle" He suddenly stood still, and as far as his eyes could see, more than half of the hundreds of subordinates around him showed fear and anxiety, and some even showed doubts and calculations.On his back, cold sweat mixed with rain dripped down, making it wet and sticky.

Back then, he also had a great reputation, and he was also the big brother that all the brothers worshiped and followed. Even now that he knows that the defeat is doomed, how can he be afraid of retreating?
He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and said loudly: "No one should try to scare me. When I was running rampant on the Dian River, you still didn't know where to hide to feed yourself!"

"In terms of seniority, I'm naturally not as good as you." Ji Che was unmoved, and said coldly, "Since you are the elder of the gang, you should be familiar with the rules of the gang. Snatch the position of the gang leader, steal money from the gang, and incite disciples Since you dare to do such things as mutiny, why don't you dare to admit it?"

"Bah! I dare to admit it after I did it. I just can't understand this yellow-haired boy as a gang leader. If you have the ability, you will kill me!"

Ji Che didn't argue with him any more, he jumped up, and the "Thunder Vertebra" was already in his hands in mid-air. He held the end of the gun with both hands, closed them with force, and the spear stabbed down like a thunderbolt. In terms of points, I will personally send Uncle Ten on the road!"
