Lord of the House

In the dead of night, in addition to the people on duty, most of the people in Hekou have slept peacefully.

The glazed lantern in the corner tower emits a bright light, illuminating the range of three or four hundred steps to the left and right, like a full moon night. The turret is about four feet off the ground, and the outer wall is as steep and slippery as a cliff. It is difficult for people to climb up without tools.

"Swish swish..." With three strange noises, three iron cluster arrows shot furiously at the glazed hood of the corner tower lights from the dark. The turret spilled down. The turret is high up and looking down, the walls are ventilated, the lights are exposed to the wind, swaying a few times, and they are extinguished without waiting for the enemy in the dark to shoot another arrow.

Sun Wenwan was restless tonight. She sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air, without the slightest bit of fatigue. When she saw the lights in the corner tower suddenly being extinguished, she knew that this moment had come. He got up the silver makeup knife to protect his body and went to find his father.

Sun Jingxuan put on his armor and walked in. He shouted loudly for people to turn off the lights in the courtyard. He evacuated the nearly 40 members of the congregation who had stayed at the mouth of the river into the courtyard. He split up to block the front and rear courtyard doors, and he took a ladder and climbed to the roof to check the situation.

"The Qu family has a very careful plan. When so many people landed from the Jiang'an pier, the first thing to do is to cut off the passage for the Lin family to evacuate into the enclosed house." Sun Wenwan followed and climbed to the roof. There were scattered lights, and dozens of ships could be seen swarming to the pier on the river's shore. The dozens of people who went ashore first rushed to the north and south with swords and swords like tigers. The long north-south long street will make it impossible for the Lin family who live in the new house on the east side of the north-south street to evacuate to the surrounding house on the west side. "There is no boat on the riverbank pier, and they want to persecute the Lin family. Evacuate from the embankment pier to Prison Island..."

Sun Jingxuan turned his head to look at the pier behind the river embankment. There were no thieves boats landing there. Outside the estuary was pitch black, with only a faint light of water, like the opening of a giant beast. He was worried that Fu Qinghe and the Lin family would panic and retreat to the prison island in a hurry, but they couldn't retreat into the enclosed house. The defense power of the Lin family's new house and the thatched cottage was quite limited, and they would definitely not be able to last until dawn.

Along the back street, trees such as elm and poplar are planted, and a wind lantern is hung every few feet. The river mouth alarm bell rang, and the robbers had not yet entered the back street, and the back street was still bright.

Sun Jingxuan saw Fu Qinghe, who was wearing a green armor, and two military guards climb the ridge of the thatched cottage to watch the enemy. Liu Yueer, Xiaoman and other female relatives were evacuating from the thatched cottage into the new house of the Lin family, surrounded by dozens of military guards.

Compared with the thatched cottage, the Lin family's new house is more suitable for defense. Sun Jingxuan knows that Fu Qinghe and the others will not rush to the prison island, but how long can they hold on to the Lin family's new house?

"They want to lure the prison guards to leave the island to rescue the estuary," Sun Wenwan saw that the direction of the estuary was unusually quiet, "Whether the estuary was attacked or the prison island was attacked, Lin Fu also couldn't escape the ending of leaving without permission and going to prison to be found guilty... "

There is an abandoned shack area on the south side of the North-South Long Street.

After the reduction of Lin's hometown courage, the remaining township brave, the Lin family specially arranged two large houses on both sides of the new house as barracks, and the reduced township courage was incorporated into the military guard for Lin Fu. The temporary resettlement of Xiangyong and the camp to the west of the surrounding house was not demolished. In the past few days, some refugees have been moved in, making the shack area on the south side of the Changjie abandoned, and only a few people remain in it.

The thieves who rushed to the shore first set the shack on fire. The fire soon burned several times brighter than the lights in the corner towers. There were still many people stranded in this shantytown. After the shacks were set on fire, they naturally Is fleeing in panic.

"Donghua Gate is on fire!"

Sun Wenwan only stared at the river mouth. Hearing his father's exclamation, he looked up and saw a fire in the direction of Donghuamen.

The Qu family would definitely stop Zhang Yubo and Liu Xilin from leading Dongchengwei's horse infantry to rescue the Hekou, and set fire to create chaos in Dongcheng. It was inevitable that Zhang Yubo, Liu Xilin and others would be held back, and it was even possible for the Qu family to ambush Dongchengwei's reinforcements halfway through. .

In order to pursue their own desires, the powerful family of the powerful family would murder and set fire so blatantly and without any scruples; Sun Wenwan was sweating finely on her back, and she really did not know whether Xihe would survive in such a world.

*****************

At the mouth of the Quyang River at the east end of the Jiuweng Bridge on the Donghuamen Official Road, where the Quyang River merges into the Jinchuan River, three fast oar boats are parked, like beasts dormant in the dark night, sniffing the smell of blood in the air.

There were no lights hanging on the boat. On the fast paddle boat at the front, the inspector of Quyang Town, the second master of the Qu family, Qu Wuming, was neatly dressed, holding his saber and staring at the river mouth, where several piles of fire were already burning. Fire, but no one came to report that the Lin family's new house had been captured.

It was only about twelve miles from the Jiuweng Bridge to the mouth of the river, and it took half an hour to get there by boat. Qu Wuyang first had to make sure that the troops and horses of Captain Dongcheng could not get out of the city.

Although the Dongcheng Yuma infantry had poor combat effectiveness, Zhang Yubo and Liu Xilin were both Gu Wuchen's cronies. They would not sit idly by when the Hekou was attacked. They forcibly led the Dongcheng Yuma infantry to come to aid, which was still a lot of trouble; delaying them It is best to live out of the city.

Behind Qu Wuming, more than a hundred saber archers of the inspection division all held single swords, and more than a hundred private soldiers of the Qu family all wore military uniforms of the inspection division, and held sharp weapons such as Mo knives, big ring knives, and foot bows. They can’t be dispatched yet. It’s not good for the Qu family’s own people to show up too early. At least they have to wait until the bandits invited by the Qu family from all over the country to break down the Lin family’s new house or lure the prison guards out of the island to kill them. Only the swaggering past "rescue".

Although the attack on the estuary or the prison island can make Lin Bie and Gu Wuchen unable to clean their buttocks, it is better if they can collect conclusive evidence that Lin Bie and Gu Wuchen committed suicide by perverting the law.

In any case, let them taste the consequences of offending the Qu family in Jiangning. Even after the incident, someone may point the finger at the Qu family, but with Chen Xiyan in this kind of war of words, Qu Wuming doesn't think there is anything to worry about.

Anyway, no evidence would fall into the hands of others. The Qu family sent out to invite Jizhu bandits to attack the estuary and the Jiyun Society fleet were absolutely trusted cronies.

*********

She Feihu's back was dripping with cold sweat, and the three sharp arrows on the wall behind his back seemed to be still buzzing. Lin Fie wanted to kill him just now.

Du Rong, Song Jia, and the young advisor Qin Zitan were all stunned for a while. Qin Zitan could guess that Lin Fu might have sneaked back to Jiangning, but he never thought that Lin Fu could call up so many elite combat power to calculate the song. Family.

Seeing that the six oarboats in front of them were all armed with armor, there were no less than four or five hundred people, Du Rong, Song Jia, and Qin Zitan were all sweating, and they suddenly thought that these people were Gu Wuchen's guards.

Gu Wuchen went to Dongyang to supervise the battle, and there were as many as 400 guards behind him.

The Jiyun Society's fleet was stranded at the mouth of Yuxi River with 200 combat power, and Lin Fu had 400 or 500 people by his side at this time, so it could only be Gu Wuchen's **** who transferred him back.

The reconnaissance ability of any power in the world is limited. Who would have thought that Gu Wuchen would assign his guard to Lin Fu to set up a bureaucratic planner?

Du Rong attaches great importance to the safety of She Feihu's travel, but there are only more than 60 elite guards accompanying them on board, and there are more than 100 elites hiding in Chaotian Dangdang, but Lin Fuzhen wants to do something against them. Even the elite can't help.

"Lord Lin is really surprising," Song Jia didn't worry that Lin Fu was going to be bad for them, she smiled sweetly, "My concubine is still worried that the Qu family will be bad for Mr. Lin, so it turns out that Mr. Lin has been plotting against the Qu family, it really hurts the concubine. I'm worried."

At this time, a wind lantern was set up on the boat, and the dimly flickering light reflected Lin Bie's body.

Lin Bie wore scale armor, put his hand on the saber at his waist, and said in a cold voice, "Thank you for your concern, Young Madam, tonight is dangerous and unprovoked, and the scene is very chaotic, so there is no need for Master Young Master and Young Madam to be in danger, Young Marquis. Lord, young lady, please come back."

She Feihu saw the bearded man who had assassinated him twice, wearing a red helmet, green armor and holding two halberds, standing openly behind Lin Fu, his teeth clenched, thinking about the role of Lin Fu, half a year In the past, he could be easily crushed as an ant, but today he is threatened by him, how can he bear it in his heart?

Song Jia quietly grabbed her husband's hand. She knew that Lin Fu didn't want to keep them, but Lin Fu's primary goal tonight was the Qu family. At that time, Lin Bie was irritated, and he instructed Du Rong: "Since there is nothing to see, let's go back, everyone is trapped to death, and there are many mosquitoes on the river."

She Feihu's building boat began to retreat, and Lin Fu did not delay, and instructed the paddlers to quickly row the fast paddle towards the river mouth.

************

After the glass lanterns in the corner towers of the pier near the river bank were broken and blown out, although the shanty towns and several houses on the south side of the North and South Long Street were set on fire by the thieves who came ashore, the water between the prison island and the estuary was hidden. In the darkness, only faint shadows could be seen on the river.

Four slender armed vehicles and boats filed out from the aquatic bushes at the eastern end of the prison island, and the four Taihu wing boats ambushed in the reeds near the east side of the prison island seemed to see their prey finally lured out, excited to want to Yell.

The middle-aged man standing on the bow of the Taihu Wing Boat is also dressed as a Taihu pirate, but his real identity is the steward of the Qu family.

Quyang Town is the most important rice market outside the east city of Jiangning. In order to monopolize the trade of rice grains from Taihu Prefectures to Jiangning, the Qu family has secretly colluded with Taihu pirates for decades. Under normal circumstances, the Qu family would not directly invite the Taihu pirates to Jiangning to do business, but this time is extraordinarily special and important, and the Qu family cannot directly send private soldiers to leave people behind. The forces of various families came to Jiangning to do this vote. Apart from the Qu family giving out 100,000 taels of silver to the families to share, how many robbery the families robbed in the Hekou would be included in the pockets of the families, and the Qu family would never reach out.

The estuary has a limited defense force, and the most taboo is the prison guards on the prison island. Lin Shu led the Dongyang to escape safely in the water battle of Luoyang Lake, and the combat power of the prison guards on the prison island should not be underestimated, at least it should be much stronger than the pirates and pirates in Taihu Lake.

Seeing that the guards were tempted to leave the island by four boats, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and the four Taihu wing boats quietly followed out of the reeds. They did not go directly to intercept the vehicles and ships; the vehicles and ships traveled very fast, and although the Taihu wing boats were also fast, it was difficult to pursue the vehicles and ships at short distances. They expected that vehicles and boats would come ashore from the embankment pier to aid the estuary, and then headed straight for the estuary.

Zhao Hu, who was squatting on the bow of the armed car and boat, also saw four Taihu wing boats following up from behind.

Taihu Wing Ships are not the usual winged ships. Their shape is different from ordinary wooden ships. The sides of the ships are stretched like wings. It really cost money.

Zhao Hu didn't pay attention to the four Taihu wing boats that were heading to the estuary to intercept them, but ordered four vehicles and ships to rush straight to the Jiang'an pier with 180 new soldiers.

The bandits invited by the Qu family to attack the estuary abandoned the embankment pier, which was more convenient for small and medium-sized boats to berth.

There are limited berths at the Jiangan Wharf, and at most four or five boats can be docked at the same time. More pirate boats park directly on the river beach. The bandits, who are as many as ants, jumped off the boat with a knife in their mouth, and dripped from the shallow water that did not reach their chest. On the river beach~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, the river bank here is steep, and it is still necessary to climb to the shore from the stone steps of the wharf.

The Lin family's 400,000 taels of deposited silver in the estuary have stirred up people's hearts. Some people suggested that the families join forces to vote in Jiangning. Almost no one objected. Get a general to do it.

Even with such an idea, the Taihu pirates and Poyang pirates, who were usually quite safe, became more and more careless. In the past few days, there were more than a thousand bandits who had secretly gathered in the sky.

At this time, there were four or five hundred people landing from the pier, and most of the boats gathered in front of the pier waiting to get ashore. At this time, they also saw Zhao Hu led four vehicles and ships to attack. Although the bandits are all temporarily united, there are also people who are dispatched in the middle. Here, eight ships are immediately assigned to intercept them, so as not to copy the way for the cars and ships.

At this time, the gongs and drums on the chariot were loud, and the thieves ship acted as the chariot carrying the military soldiers to launch a charge, and sent four ships to intercept it.

Unexpectedly, four bright beams of light were suddenly projected from the prison island and the shore, illuminating the water outside the pier on the river bank as bright as day. All the pirates thought that breaking the glass lantern in the corner tower closest to the pier on the river bank would hide the boats in the dark, but there were four glass lamps in total at the mouth of the river. Large glazed lamp. What frightened the bandits most, six fast-oared warships rowed out from the dark waters on the west side. On the suddenly bright water, the six warships were all armored soldiers. At the front of the bow, a cluster of hundreds of arrows flashed with a cold, cold light, and at the moment when the lights were on, they shot off their strings.

The bandits instantly understood: they were the prey.
