Lord of the House

Chapter 9

The situation of the enemy ahead was unknown, so Lin Fu was not in a hurry to return to Chongzhou, nor did he go to Anji County for refuge.

In the afternoon, Lin Fu distributed spears, single swords, wooden cards and other weapons to the 200 victims headed by Ning Zechen who were selected to board the boat to make up for the shortage of manpower, and officially armed them.

Li Shuyi knew that the future was dangerous, even if Lin Fu didn't do it, he would also suggest Lin Fu to do it, but he was just surprised that Lin Fu had so many weapons on board.

This group of more than 200 victims who were selected to board the ship on Xisha Island was somewhat sturdy. Not only did they not tremble when they got the weapons, but they were also a little excited. After traveling for more than 20 days, Lin Fu also deliberately trained them. At this time, they were scattered to more than a hundred Wuwei as auxiliary soldiers, which can effectively increase the defense strength of the two ships.

Before Wu Qi and Zhu Shao returned to bring further details of the enemy's situation, at dusk, a fire broke out in the direction of Anji County.

At dusk, the boat sailed on the lake, and there was a vast haze of smoke everywhere. The fire in the suddenly lost Anji County was raging, and the sunset in the sky seemed to be burning. Lin Bing stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the direction of Anji County. The east gate of the county facing Meixi Lake was already Half a fan was burned, and in the raging flames, the county residents in and out of the city gate cave could be seen rushing in vain, and it was impossible to see how many East Sea bandits poured into the city to burn, kill, and loot.

The darker the twilight, the more dazzling the fire in Anji County. Lin Tie waited anxiously, and the assault boat sent out to pick up Wu Qi and a wounded dark post.

"The East Sea bandits who attacked Anji County rushed in from the direction of Danuma Creek this afternoon. About a thousand people, all armed and armed, rushed to attack in twelve sea loach boats. There should have been a warning signal from the direction of Danuma Creek. I don't know. What happened in Anji County? When the bandits abandoned their ships and went ashore to attack the East Gate, they closed the door in a hurry. Reported the situation in Anji County to Lin Fu, and also talked about the ambush in the afternoon, "Shujiazhai has not many soldiers, about 200 people, half of the soldiers in the village, and the remaining 100 are foreign guest soldiers, disguised as transiting merchants. We were approved to enter the country and sneaked into the village for more than ten days, waiting for us to come. I entered Anji County for two days, and it was only when the soldiers were ambushed in the forest that I found clues. There is no sign of ambush troops gathering, but in the direction of Xiaopu and Zhicheng, there are traces of gathering people and horses to cross the border..."

"Xiaopu, Zhicheng." Lin Fu rubbed the brush-like beard under his chin, and pondered, Xiaopu and Zhicheng were the entrances from Zhuxi to Taihu Lake.

"It seems that the ambush soldiers who attacked Anji County and Shujiazhai are not on the same road. There is a possibility of forming a suspicious formation, but they want to prevent us from leaving Anji County, and they have to arrange enough ambushes." Ao Canghai frowned. The situation at home is very familiar, and he said, "The Kou soldiers swept Anji County, and the garrison of Huzhou Prefecture, Jiahang Prefecture and Xiangyong would be dispatched to hear the wind. Give us enough time to calmly deploy it against us.”

"I'm worried that their main target is the Ninghai Town Navy!" Lin Fu said, "The East China Sea raiders are attacking the coast, and the Ninghai Town Navy is an established army that can only intercept and control the river. It weakens the Ninghai Town Navy, and will not be able to attack the East China Sea invaders. There are so many benefits..."

Anji County is located in the southwest corner of Taihu Lake and is the innermost of the four prefectures along the shore of Taihu Lake. More than a thousand pirates quietly pass through Pingjiang Prefecture or Jiahang Prefecture, detouring for four or five hundred miles, and raiding the irrelevant Anji County, which is somewhat confusing. . If it is aimed at them, it is completely inexplicable. Lin Fu is more willing to believe that the East China Sea bandits want to transfer some of the warships of the Ninghai Town Navy and divide them in Taihu Lake.

"What should we do? Go to Taihu Lake?" Ao Canghai asked. If the Eastern pirates aimed to lure and destroy the Ninghai town water camp warships, they should stop the shareholder pirates from retreating before the Ninghai town water camp warships came to block the escape route of the shareholder pirates. Evacuate into Taihu Lake first to observe the situation, or simply turn around and return to Chongzhou.

"There are still a lot of doubts that people can't figure out..." Lin Fu shook his head and did not decide to retreat to Taihu Lake immediately. He looked up at Anji County, where the fire was burning, and at the direction of Shujiazhai, where they were ambushed at noon. After a while, he instructed Wu Qidao, "You still go ashore, don't worry about the ambush soldiers in Rujiazhai, and keep an eye on the movement of the shareholder pirates who attacked Anji County..."

*********

Qin Zitan stood under the ancient willows on the river bank. The fire that burned in Anji County illuminated the corner of Meixi Lake. He glanced at the Meixi Lake covered by the night with awe-inspiring eyes, trying to find some clues. The dark cloudy night covered the two thousand stone boats that Lin Fu was on.

Standing behind Qin Zitan, Shu Qingqiu is the head of the Shu Family Water Village. He has a beard, big eyes and a broad face. There is a very shallow scar on his left cheek, which covers a lot of his beard. .

Shu Qingqiu had worked as a sea merchant in his early years, and when he traveled between Jin'an and Huzhou, he said he was a sea merchant, but in fact he was a merchant and a thief. The scars on his face were left when he was a pirate.

After the She family rebelled in Jin'an, Shu Qingqiu bribed the She family, returned to Anji County, and waited for the army of the She family to attack, and he could respond in Anji. Who would have thought that the army of the extravagant family would never be able to beat Dongmin after being suppressed by a Confucian commander Li Zhuo, and he would have been dormant all the time. It was not until Du Rong sneaked to Jiangdong County to organize Qingfengxing that the Shu family became Qingfengxing's secret force in Huzhou.

This time, if Lin Bie could not be killed, the Shu family was exposed. Shu Qingqiu didn't think there was anything. Rather than knowing when the fussing was the head, it would be better to stand up and follow the luxury family.

"I didn't find any sign of him approaching Anji County..." Du Rong brought the horse over, and under the lights, the horse's back was dripping with sweat. It was obvious that Du Rong quickly rushed over to join Qin Zitan.

"He went to Taihu Lake to raise food and rescued the disaster on Xisha Island. He had a very strong purpose, and he would never rush ashore to save the people of Anji County." Qin Zitan frowned and thought, "I just can't figure out why he wants to So targeting luxury homes?"

"Thinking about it, he has long understood that the robbery in Baisha County is the secret master of the young marquis..." Du Rong said.

"A heroic person can talk and laugh at the hatred of killing his father and his wife. Will Lin Bie be entangled in this little bit of resentment and can't get out?" Qin Zitan shook his head slightly, "If this is the case, he Well dealt with."

Du Rong is right when he thinks about it. If he is an ambitious person, he should not be entangled in such trivial grudges. Neither Lin Fu nor Su Mei's master and servant suffered substantial harm, and even Fu Qinghe returned to Jiangning, not to mention that the young lady and the young lady fell into his hands. What kind of resentment did he really have? cathartic?

Du Rong still can't understand how Lin Fu, Su Mei and Fu Qinghe escaped at that time?

"If the eldest son can follow your plan and do whatever it takes to kill Lin Bie in Meixi Lake first, then you won't have to worry about these things anymore," Du Rong said.

"The eldest son has his own considerations." Qin Zitan also felt that it was a pity to let Lin Fu go, but he knew that everything had priorities, and besides, they were from the second son, She Feixiong could fully accept their suggestion without reservation. Only called You Gui, he said, "The East Sea bandits gathered in Changguo County in the form of thirteen clan alliances, and the eldest son can directly control only three of them behind the scenes. In the first battle after the storm season, if the naval division of Ninghai Town can be effectively attacked The living strength of the eldest son will be of great benefit for the eldest son to integrate the forces of the thirteen families, and will also allow other pirate forces to join in more unscrupulously. In the past ten years, the she family has not been able to go out of Dongmin. If you can gain a firm foothold in the islands of Changguo County, you will be able to sit back and watch the chaos in the world and not miss the opportunity to make progress in the world.”

Du Rong nodded and had to admit that Qin Zitan's analysis was very reasonable, but they were the subordinates of the second son, and everything had to be considered from the second son's point of view. Although the eldest son was named the eldest son by the court because of his status as the eldest son, they did not think that he must be the eldest son who inherited the foundation of Jin'an in the future. They not only want to make the southeastern counties chaotic and consume the strength of the imperial court, but also to master a new force for the second son.

Originally, it was a good opportunity to win over the Taihu water village forces, but Lin Fu gave the Taihu water village forces a chance in the name of a food raiser, so that the number of people they recruited on this trip was far lower than expected; The 30,000 refugees were abandoned by the locality, which was a rare opportunity for the second son~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but he couldn't understand why Lin Bie would be the first to get there.

Du Rong had a premonition that such a troublesome character Lin Fu would probably continue to be their stumbling block.

Du Rong thought for a while, and said, "It's true that the eldest son has his own considerations. Besides, we don't need our help in matters of the eldest son's side. We still have a chance to kill Lin Bie when we rush to Taihu Lake."

"..." Qin Zitan was still a little hesitant, and looked up at the vast night, except for the faint sparkling water, he couldn't see anything, thinking that Lin Fu saw that Anji County was attacked and should evacuate to Taihu Lake.

Although Lin Fu stabilized most of the Taihu water villages in the name of raising grain, those Taihu pirates who bought the Qu family to participate in the attack on the estuary had no other choice. Qin Zitan came forward to solicit on behalf of the luxury family, and these Taihu thieves chose to work without any hesitation. In the Xishan Island Village in the East Lake area of ​​Taihu Lake, there are as many as 800 Taihu pirates gathered in secret.

The Battle of Hekou showed that the unorganized Taihu Lake pirates were not much stronger than the rabble. Besides, there were Ninghai Town navy warships patrolling the Taihu Lake. Qin Zitan did not plan to set up an ambush and kill on the road from Lin Fu to Anji County. .

At this time, the navy warship of Ninghai Town had the eldest son's troops to deal with it. Qin Zitan thought about using the more than 100 elites at hand, more than 100 soldiers from Shujiazhai Village and more than 800 Taihu pirates from Xishan Island to join forces on Taihu Lake to find an opportunity to attack Killing Lin Bie is indeed very sure.

After a while, Qin Zitan nodded and said, "It's better to get rid of this confidant first..."

Shu Qingqiu said, "I'll make arrangements immediately."

There was no good arrangement. Shu Qingqiu left more than a hundred village soldiers to **** his family and the thieves who had accumulated for many years to follow the East China Sea bandits and then retreated to the Shengsi Islands. He and his two grown-up sons followed Qin with more than a hundred village soldiers. Zi Tan and Du Rong took three large-winged boats to Taihu Lake. My QT room is open!
