Chapter Six: Knocking Mountains and Fighting Tigers
boom!
Silkworm harvesting was about to begin, and among the loud gongs and drums, an inconspicuous sound broke into the scene without arousing any suspicion.
Until, standing on the high platform in front of the big vat, Shui Xingtian, the eldest son of the Shui family, who was standing upright a second ago, had a blood hole in the center of his head, and he fell down.
All sounds at the scene suddenly stopped.
The smiles on the faces of the guests invited by the Shui family who were standing near the high platform disappeared at this moment.
boom!
Several figures were as fast as afterimages, and a few jumped straight up to the high platform. Among them, Shui Mu, whose temples had turned white, hugged Shui Xingtian's limp body, his hands trembling.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Heart-rending howls filled the entire silent place.
"Seal this place and no one is allowed to leave!"
On the high platform, Shui Mu turned around and roared loudly with his eyes splitting.
The next second, Shui Mu fell to the ground, with a bloody hole above his eyebrows.
"There is a hidden weapon!"
With a hole in his head, Shui Mu fell to the ground, grabbing the platform with his hands and falling suddenly. Wu Xiongxin stepped forward to catch him, kicked the door open to block the guests, and rushed into the mansion.
"There is an assassin! Protect me!"
At this time, a duck-like voice sounded in the house.
Immediately, a large number of Shui family servants who had gathered outside and were preparing to surround everyone all rushed into the mansion.
During this period, a large number of ordinary people who came to watch the excitement also fled in all directions, fearing that they would get into trouble.
Li Hao also pulled Erhu and took advantage of the chaos to leave. However, when leaving, he noticed that among the chaotic crowd, there were all strong and muscular people. There were almost dozens of people. They had long objects wrapped in black cloth pinned to their backs and disappeared quietly with the flow of people.
far away.
It’s the Nan family!
Li Hao recognized them at a glance. After all, he had been to the Nan family. He had made some observations about the Nan family patrolmen. The figures and walking postures of these people were almost the same, and he could see their shadows.
It was obvious that if he took the risk and didn't take action, the Nan family might do the same.
But he doesn't like to hand over the hope of living to others.
Even if he knew all this in advance, he would still choose to take the first step and kill Shui Xingtian today.
"Brother Hao, why are your hands shaking?"
Erhu, who was walking along with the former, raised his head and asked curiously.
"I was tired from working the past few days."
"oh."
far away.
On the way back to the outside of the town, a woman in a coarse cloth shirt looked anxiously towards the direction she came from.
"Tiger! Tiger!"
After seeing two figures, one large and one small, they quickly dropped their bamboo baskets and ran towards them.
"Huzi, are you okay? Let Mom take a look."
After groping up and down and back and forth to make sure it was okay, Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only after she sold the medicine and rice noodles that she heard about the death of the Shui family and wanted to look for it, but the situation in the town was too chaotic and she had no clue, so she could only wait here.
"It's okay, Mom, Brother Hao has been holding me back."
After pinching his nostrils, Xiaoluotou Erhu felt nothing.
Because of his short stature, he didn't see either Shui Xingtian or Shui Mu's headshot. He only knew that the scene was very lively, but for some reason everyone started running away.
He had no idea what was happening from beginning to end.
"It's okay, it's okay." Looking at the half-grown child in front of her, Aunt Zhang murmured a few words in relief, and then looked at Li Hao, who was standing aside.
"Thank you, Haozi."
"It's okay, it should be, it should be." Li Hao waved his hands indifferently, rubbed Erhu's head, said goodbye to Aunt Zhang, and walked back home along the path.
boom!
When the door of the dilapidated house is closed, it makes a clanging sound.
With his back against the wooden door, in this dark and small space, Li Hao closed his eyes tightly, and then suddenly opened them.
In this world, the jungle is strong, and if you don't kill him, he will kill you.
He stepped to the corner and took out the hidden wire silkworms, a large jar of arm-sized bamboo tube filled with silkworm juice and a large bag of gunpowder buried in the ground.
He took out the musket hidden in his sleeve and refilled it with gunpowder and projectiles.
There was no table in the house, so he assembled it on the floor he made.
After the assembly was completed, Li Hao murmured to himself as he looked at the item that did not belong to this world: "It can't be killed..."
The martial arts in this world are far stronger than I imagined.
At a distance of 100 meters, a flesh and blood body can resist a shot and still survive.
And it looked like he was traumatized at most, not life-threatening.
"Martial arts..."
Reaching out to hold the extremely cold gray musket, Li Hao looked at the large bag of gunpowder left and began to think in his mind.
High in the sky, the bright sun sets with the east wind.
Sunset and moonrise.
After the assassins attacked the Shui family today, there were very few people on the streets.
Inside and outside the Shui family's mansion, countless servants were standing with swords and guns, both inside and outside the mansion, and the surrounding area was impenetrable.
"Damn it, it's an iron silkworm!"
In a wing of the Shui Family Mansion, Shui Mu, who had his head wrapped in white cloth, punched the wooden table into pieces.
The object held tightly in his hand was suddenly thrown aside and embedded directly into the wall.
A faint hint of gray can be seen at the entrance of the hole where the wall suddenly bursts.
It is a bullet made from iron wire and silkworm fluid.
"Nan family!"
Shui Mu's face was gloomy.
The wire silkworm in Shuinan Village is unique.
Moreover, apart from them, the only one who has the technology to make wire silkworms is the Nan family.
According to reports from his subordinates, a large number of Nan family members did gather in the town today.
The identity of the assassin today is self-evident.
Yunshui Mountain, mountainside.
A man-made cave extends in all directions, and every cave entrance is guarded by personnel.
"Who made the first move before us?"
"Tell the boss, I don't have any clues yet."
Inside the cave, bonfires were arranged one after another. On the stone bench wrapped in tiger skin at the top, a middle-aged man dressed as an elegant scholar kept flipping through the books in his hands, but his eyes were extremely cold as he stared at the half-kneeling figure below.
The figure being stared at felt as if it had fallen into an ice bank, and could not stop trembling.
Compared to the ferocious second boss, the first boss who looks gentle but is actually extremely vicious is truly terrifying.
"Brother, is this something caused by the people in Youshui Town?"
The strong man leaning on the rough wooden chair under the throne at the top said angrily: "It must be their fault. I have long disliked them."
The middle-aged scholar closed the sage's book and gently tapped the handle of the stone bench wrapped in tiger skin.
Finally draw a conclusion.
"It's not impossible. Youshui Town is backed by the Canglan River and has a lot of water transport trade. It has long had ideas about wire silkworms, but they have been jointly rejected by our two families. Now they have provoked a fight between the two families, and then took advantage of it...
..”
"Damn it, if they hadn't disrupted the situation, we would not only be the yellow-haired kid from the Shui family today, but I would also have to stay!"
After slamming the rough wooden chair, the second master stood up and cursed loudly, obviously very angry.
"They probably didn't expect that we would take action today, preparing to quickly deal with the Shui family and dominate Shuinan Town."
Originally, everything had been arranged, and they were just waiting for the Shui family to relax their vigilance before taking action. Unexpectedly, an assassin appeared halfway to disrupt the situation, and the entire Shui family retreated, not giving any chance.
"Let the little ones be on guard these days, stay put for now and be careful of that old thing from the Shuang family biting anyone."
The Shui family's bites are very painful. They had experienced this more than 20 years ago. Otherwise, there would be no Shui family in Shuinan Town.
That night.
The bright moon hangs high.
The Shui Family Mansion was extremely quiet.
boom!
There was a loud explosion, like a thunderous sound in the west, and the wall of the Shui family mansion exploded, and the night turned into daylight for an instant.
All the people inside the mansion couldn't help but be surprised.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Under the cover of darkness, projectiles penetrated undetectably through the west side of the water house, wandering guard servants and guards.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
The guards and servants were frightened and stepped back, scrambling.
A sphere-like object was thrown into the mansion from the west.
boom!
Fire suddenly appeared, and earth and rocks flew.
"What's going on!"
In the east wing, Shui Mu, who was discussing matters with Wu Xiongxin, heard the deafening sound, stood up suddenly, and rushed out of the house.
Wu Xiongxin followed.
"Master, there is a sky thunder! The demon led a large number of people to attack! He knows how to use the sky thunder!"
A guy with a gray face and dressed in slave clothes stood in panic at the door in the distance, pointing to the east where there was a constant roar.
"Damn it, this Nan Xiongxin is really going to fight me to the death!"
Shui Mu turned around and rushed into the side room. Within a moment, he was dressed in tight-fitting steel armor, even the eyes were protected by iron-colored threads.
This is a battle armor made of countless iron and silk threads interwoven and cast.
It is almost as thick as steel, and one can imagine how much iron silk is consumed in it, which is terrifying.
Looking at the armor that looked heavy but was actually extremely soft and as hard as iron, a trace of envy flashed in Wu Xiongxin's eyes.
Wearing this armor will at least double your strength.
"Tonight there is water but no south, and there is no water in the south." Shui Mu's face was extremely gloomy under his mask, "Martial Arts Master, help me!"
"this....."
Wu Xiongxin was a little hesitant. His martial arts gym was not in Shuinan Town, but in Youshui Town next door, even though most of his martial arts gym was composed of Shui family disciples.
But even if the Shui family is destroyed, it has nothing to do with him.
After all, they are only prospering together, not losing each other.
"As long as we capture the Nan family this time, Shuinan Town Tie Silk will share 10% of Tie Ying Martial Arts Hall."
"The Shui family and I are both prosperous, and I will do my part this time."
Wu Xiongxin was straightforward.
Then a whistle sounded, floating over the entire Shui family mansion, and all the servants and guards who heard the sound gathered in front of Shui Mu, and there were hundreds of them.
Armed with bows, arrows, spears, and servants of kerosene, they rushed toward the west like a thunderstorm.
No one noticed that under the night light, the person who was the first to report the news was striding toward the rear where no one was guarding him, with a gray-black face.
