Chapter 89: The trapped beast still fights

After the man in white was killed, the attack of the Hai family was significantly weakened, but the Min Gang was very motivated and drove all the men in black off the ship in one go. These three small boats were patrol ships of the Jiazhou branch of the Emeitang. After receiving the order from the flying pigeon from the main hall, the Jiazhou branch immediately divided the troops and intercepted them from the water and land. The water route was led by the deputy rudder leader, but accidentally discovered Li Qing's ship. The deputy rudder leader recognized that the person standing on the bow of the ship was the target of the interception. He was eager to seek credit and attacked rashly without waiting for other gangs to come. As a result, he suffered a great loss and was also killed by Li Qing. Seeing that the attack was frustrated, the Emeitang gang members immediately divided into one ship to report the message, and the other two ships continued to follow, as if two unwilling wolves were staring at their prey tightly.

Getting a breathing opportunity, Li Qing immediately cleared the injured Min Gang members, with 70 people accompanying him, and more than a dozen people have been killed or injured. Even Master Yang was dead. He immediately ordered the injured to be carried to the upper level and handed them over to Lian'er and Xiaoyu for care.

After arranging the injured, he re-arranged the defense. It was really chaotic just now. More than a dozen people fought against each other in close combat, but in sparse areas, they were one-on-two, and everyone was in a formation, with no rules at all. In order to improve combat efficiency, the first thing was to re-form the remaining fifty people into five teams, each with two chiefs and deputy chiefs, and each team designated two chiefs and deputy chiefs, and each was deployed to prevent them from rushing up. The other three teams, one team on the left and right sides, and the last team served as a mobile support.

Secondly, in order to improve morale, the Kuola County Magistrate paid another 3,000 guan as a pension and reward military merits. Those who killed one enemy were rewarded with fifty guan, and those who pushed one person off the boat were rewarded with twenty guan. In this way, the Min Gang gang promoted and retreated in an orderly manner, and the morale was greatly boosted, which was completely different from the mob just now.

After the deployment, he picked up two chairs and used them as shields to probe them. Then more than a dozen hard arrows shot in, nailed to the wooden chair, which made his arms numb. But at this moment, he also saw clearly the situation below. There were only two of the three small boats, each with about thirty people, one on the left, followed fifty steps away, each with a bow and arrow, looking for the person who showed his head.

The boat on the river was already scared and extinct. The north wind blew, and Li Qing's boat was walking against the current, like a snail climbing. It was extremely difficult to sail, but the boats were quick and flexible, sometimes left and right, containing murderous intent. At this time, he suddenly heard a shout from the river, and three other boats rushed in the slanting thorns, extremely fast and quickly. He approached the big ship in a moment. A young man stood up in the middle of the boat, white clothes were like snow, his eyes emitted green light, long hair draped over the shoulders, and fluttered in the river wind, as if he could use magic tricks. He was the deputy master of Emei Hall and the rudder of Jiazhou branch. The people in the rivers and lakes sent the bandit number: Bai Yao.

He kept blocking the shore. Seeing the sudden outbreak of war on the river, he immediately led his people to come. At this time, the number of people in Emei Hall was over 100. He surrounded Li Qing's ship from all sides. After waiting for a command, he rushed towards the prey, but the white demon turned a blind eye and stared at the sky, as if he was still waiting for something.

The ship was also full of murderous intent. Although the number of members of the Min Gang was at a disadvantage, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. Under the stimulation of money and in the desperate situation of fighting against the water, the martial Tang people evaporated their blood to the fullest, silent, cold eyes, and tightly held the cold knife handle in their hands, and the murderous heart was accumulating bit by bit.

"Brother, let's do it first!"

The sky in the sea waved the horizontal sword left by the man in white, like a fat baboon, ready to try, but he kept crying! Hehe! He screamed strangely, and he couldn't have peace for a moment, and it looked particularly harsh on the silent ship.

"Shut up!"

Li Qing slapped him with a backhand, causing Hai Zhongtian to stagger. He immediately became silent and did not dare to let out a breath. At this time, silence on the ship was about to explode, and the fighting spirit had accumulated to the extreme. Suddenly, Li Qing picked up a knife, rushed forward two steps, and suddenly rushed towards the white demon.

The flying knife passed by the white demon. He was slightly stunned and stared at Li Qing fiercely. His eyes were full of anger. He saw him holding his hands up and his mouth rumbling a few times. The Hai family gang members immediately became excited, as if they had been put into immortal spells. He suddenly raised the red flag and shouted loudly. Four small boats rushed up, flying claws flew straight towards the ship, and soon hooked the side of the ship. Dozens of Hai family gang members rubbed their bodies, like monkeys in the black forest, each agile and agile. The fastest few people jumped to the bow of the ship with the help of the force. Suddenly, the Min gang members roared, and dozens of sharp swords rolled in, like mountain torrents, roaring and swallowed several people on board in one mouthful.

The battle began immediately. The Min Gang used the dismantled cabin as a shield. One person held the shield and the other raised the knife. In the tacit cooperation, the knife flashed by, and the rope connection was cut off. The men in black fell into the river one after another. Seeing this, the white demon was furious and rumbling again. The four ships suddenly separated and boarded the ship from four different directions. Li Qing also shouted and commanded repeatedly, and the four teams also responded separately. The front line was gradually pulled open, and more and more enemies were boarded. Some people kept boarding the ship's side, but they were immediately chopped down.

Everyone's eyes were red, and there was only one word in their mind, "Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Min Gang people began to suffer casualties. At this time, Liang'er and Xiaoyu appeared on the deck at some point. They both quickly and kept bandaging the injured people who were rolling around the ground with cloth strips. They comforted them softly and relaxed their hearts. They could not die if they were there. Then they waved to someone to carry the injured to the upper floor. Although there was no medical treatment or medicine, the spiritual comfort was better than medicine, which made the injured people grateful and had already offered them to the hearts like living Bodhisattvas.

Li Qing stood on the gangway and screamed in a hoarse voice, as if he had done a tent in his previous life. He broke up the east wall and repaired the west wall, and dispatched a group of mobile teams to death. He cursed in his heart, but he could do nothing. In the end, although the number of Min Gang was reduced by half, because the county magistrate and leader were good, and the defensive moves were generous, he could barely fight against the Hai family's offensive.

At this time, the white demon saw that he could not fight for a long time, and was worried that the Min Gang team would come to help. He became furious. He ordered the boat to sail to the other side. Li Qing's half of his body immediately appeared in front of him. The white demon smiled coldly, grabbed a crossbow and aimed at Li Qing's back. However, at this time, the curtain had just run down the gangway and saw Li Qing's danger at a glance. She screamed in shock, and jumped down desperately, knocking Li Qing to the ground. In an instant, an arrow passed by, nailed it to the gangway. The tail of the arrow trembled. Li Qing escaped from death. When she turned around, she saw the white demon staring at him fiercely.

Li Qing's face was gloomy. He first helped the curtain up and sent it back to the upper level, and then rushed back quickly. At this time, the white demon was standing at the bow of the ship to shoot a cold arrow. He was very good at archery and almost every arrow was hit. Later, the Min Gang did not dare to approach the side of the ship, and the situation gradually began to reverse, and the Min Gang could no longer hold on.

"If this continues, it will be broken sooner or later!"

Li Qing thought about countermeasures in his mind, "It would be great if there were rolling wood and rocks."

He searched around and forth, and almost all the heavy guys had already left the river, leaving only tables, chairs, benches, and it was no matter how hard it was to be smashed. Suddenly, he raised his eyes and his eyes fell on the towering mast, and glanced at the arrogant white demon again, unable to help but sneer.

"You guys, come with me!"

There were three masts in total. Li Qing chose the last one. He raised the sail first. The wind was cold and the sails were bulging. The boat immediately retreated. The white demon boat behind him rushed to the side, and let the big ship brush the ground and brushed the ground. The two ships rubbed each other. Li Qing was waiting for this opportunity. Five or six wide-blade knives cut off the mast in three or two. Everyone held the direction. The mast squeaked and slapped it down like a huge palm fan. The people below shouted and dodged. The mast was slapped on the side of the ship with a huge sail.

He rolled over again, fell down the wall of the boat into the river, and smashed straight towards the white demon's boat. Because the angle of elevation was too high, the people on the boat heard only shouts and loud noises, but did not see the mast falling down. When the giant-like mast and sail appeared in front of him, it was too late to avoid it. A frightened scream came from the boat, "Boom!" The waves splashed, and the boat was beaten to pieces by the giant sails, and the big boat suddenly became jubilant. Everyone swung the tables and chairs to put down the rocks in order to relieve their hatred.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Look! Our Min Gang's ship."

I saw three large ships lined up on the river, rushing down the current. The black flag of the Min Gang was inserted on the top of the ship, waving in the wind, and there was a person on the bow of the ship. From a distance, it looked as tall as a bear. It was Wang Bingge, the leader of the Min Gang.

The smuggling of the Hai family is of great importance, and it is directly related to whether the Min Gang can dominate the world. After receiving the news that the Hai family's smuggling ship was arrested in Yibin, Wang Bin personally led the gangs to the south to pick up Li Qing. They were on land, half a beat faster than the Emei Hall that was dispatched at the same time. As soon as they arrived at the Jiazhou Wharf, they heard that a gangster fire broke out on the river and immediately guessed that it must be Li Qing who was intercepted. They forced three ships to hurry to pick him up, but they happened to see Li Qing overturning the Hai family's boat with a mast.

Jiazhou is today's Leshan. The Dadu River and Minjiang River converge here. It is the third largest port on the Minjiang River after Chengdu and Nanxi County. The river port is very deep, and many giant ships of thousands of stone dock here. Many cargo ships from Chengdu also exchange large ships here to transport specialties such as Shu brocade, tea, porcelain, paper, etc. from Jiannan to various places, and even go to Japan and Goryeo.

The business here is booming and has also supported many small gangs, but none of them have become popular. However, Emeitang took the lead and squeezed out the Min Gang's power, so the Min Gang has no foundation here.

Since Emei Hall had been dispatched in full force, Wang Bing did not dare to be careless on the way to Jiazhou and immediately escorted Li Qing and others to the road. As soon as the group left the city, Li Qing stopped his horse when he reached a forest.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

When Wang Bing saw Li Qing, he found that he had been silent and had a lot of worries.

"Brother, come here and I have something to tell you."

Li Qing pulled Wang Bing to a secluded place, and after a long time of silence, he spoke: "Brother, I want to go on the road alone."

From the moment the river was intercepted, Li Qing knew that the Hai family had already rushed to jump over the wall. Those who intercepted them were all small boats, obviously they did not come from Chengdu. The Emei Hall brigade must have been on the road. With the strength of the Hai family, how could he not know that Wang Bingge had already gone south and would have guessed that he would take a dry road to Chengdu. I think Emei Hall was waiting in front, and after a fierce battle, the outcome was unpredictable. Since this is the case, how could Li Qing take the risk of doing something unsure?

Wang Bing looked at Li Qing for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, are you afraid that I can't beat Emeitang if I am not strong enough?"

"I don't believe in my elder brother, I just killed three thousand enemies and lost 800 to myself. If my elder brother does not have a perfect solution to win, I still think that I should be the best at wisdom."

"Didn't your brother want to do it?"

Li Qing picked up a wooden stick and broke it into two pieces, handed it to Wang Bing one and said with a smile: "You are still escorting Li Qing, but I'm on the water."

Soon, the curtains and Xiaoyu, wearing bamboo hats, walked out of the woods and got into the carriage. Li Qing also entered the carriage. Wang Bing shouted, and a large group of people escorted the carriage and drove northwards. After a while, Li Qing, who had disguised himself, walked out of the woods with the curtains and Xiaoyu, who also changed into men's clothes, walked out of the woods and walked in the opposite direction.

The sun has set, and the afterglow has reflected the sky into purple. Gray mist has appeared on the ground. As the night falls, the little warmth in the air has been cleaned by the cold wind, becoming dry and astringent, and biting cold.

A carriage drove on the official road and headed towards Jiazhou City.

Yan'er slapped the heat in his hands, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Is this move of the young master called 'Golden Cicada Leave the Orchid'?"

Li Qing nodded and whispered: "We must not underestimate the Hai family. The Hai family has been in operation for a hundred years. I detained its ship the night before yesterday, and today I was intercepted. The news of the Hai family is so fast and the movements are so fast that it shows how powerful it is. If I guess correctly, Brother Wang would have been targeted long ago when he went south. It is related to the fate of his Hai family. How could they not use all their strength? Brother Wang will have a fierce battle here. If he goes with him, I will be in danger, and you will be even more dangerous!"

Yan'er was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Why don't the young master ask for an escort from the army? No matter how powerful the Hai family is, it will never dare to provoke the army!"

"If it's just a Hai family, it's feasible to find an army, but it involves Li Daofu, I don't dare!"

Li Qing looked up at the cold crescent moon, but felt a little bitter in his heart. He originally wanted to subdue a horse, but after riding it, he found that it was a tiger and now he could not get off. If he didn't get the protection of Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, he might have eaten him when he turned around. Speaking of which, he was still careless and did not consider the time. If the Hai family did not have a very hard backstage to protect him, would it dare to smuggle contraband on a large scale?

At this time, Xiaoyu found that the route of the carriage seemed to be wrong, so she asked in surprise: "Young Master, aren't we going to the pier?"

Li Qing smiled, "What are you doing at the dock?"

"Young Master, don't you want to go back by water?" Lian'er also looked confused.

"The Hai family found out that they were deceived and would definitely go to the waterway to intercept us. I would not go to the waterway. I will still walk from the dry road tomorrow morning. Tonight we will go to Jiazhou to have a good rest."
