Chapter 856: Murder in the Rain (Part 1) [Ten thousand words for monthly votes]
There was thunder and lightning and heavy rain.
It was as if a hole had been punched in the sky, and heavy rain poured down. The space between heaven and earth was so vast that you couldn't see faces of people even a few feet apart.
A group of soldiers wore bamboo hats and walked quickly through the heavy rain, passing through the warehouse area and arriving at the town office.
Amid the heavy rain, the patrol soldiers in Huating Town did not relax, and soon discovered this team with unknown origins.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
There were five people in the group, and a group of soldiers blocked the road. The captain shouted loudly, with the horizontal sword in his hand half unsheathed, and the whistle in his mouth. When the group in front of them couldn't tell where they were coming from, he would blow the whistle to warn them.
.
Gongsunjie took a step forward, clasped his fists politely and said: "I am the guard under the command of the deputy general manager. On the order of the deputy general manager, a letter has been sent to the town office. I would like to ask all brothers for my convenience."
The corps commander came closer. When Gongsunjie pushed up the bamboo hat on his head and saw his face clearly, his guard relaxed. He was indeed Zhang Liang's subordinate, whom he had met yesterday, and besides, now the chief manager and all of you
The generals and captains were not in the town, so there was nothing to take precautions against. The reason why we continued to patrol despite the heavy rain was just because we felt a sense of responsibility.
Furthermore, since he is Zhang Liang's subordinate, there is no need to worry.
No matter what you say, Zhang Liang is an official of the imperial court, and as a dignified prince, he will not do anything lawless, right?
The corps commander nodded: "It turns out to be Captain Gongsun. I saw you yesterday. However, the general manager is not in the town right now. According to my opinion, Colonel Gongsun should return first and ask to see you after the general manager comes back. How about that?"
Gongsun Jie said: "To be honest, our commander-in-chief has decided to return to Chang'an, but before leaving, he still has some things to say to the general manager. I also know that the general manager has already gone to sea, so he just handed over the letter in his own hand
Just take it to the town office, and ask a few brothers to make it easier."
This request cannot be refused.
After all, Zhang Liang was also the deputy general manager appointed by the imperial court. He was squeezed out by his own general manager and couldn't stay any longer. Before leaving, it was reasonable to send a letter to express his resentment and maybe a few curse words...
The corps commander put the horizontal sword into its sheath, put down the whistle in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Even so, I'll just go with Captain Gongsun."
You can go to the town office, but you have to be under your own supervision, otherwise who knows what tricks these guys who hate the general manager might play?
Gongsunjie was very open-hearted and said with a smile: "That's very good. I took a trip yesterday, but I couldn't remember the way, so I asked my brother to show me the way."
The corpsman said: "That's right. Please come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the town office.
Gongsunjie turned around and glanced at Gu Zhu in the crowd. The latter understood, nodded slightly, walked a few steps quickly, and followed the team leader. Wu Duohai also led others to touch up the traces, speeding up the pace slightly, and approached the others respectively.
of four soldiers.
The group of people walked slowly forward in the heavy rain, and their footsteps landed on the smooth street paved with cement, splashing water droplets.
A bolt of lightning appeared in the dark sky like cracked lines, illuminating the entire Huating Town, and then extinguished instantly, and the world became dark again.
Rumbles of thunder followed.
At the moment when the thunder exploded, Gu Zhu pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, took a quick step forward, reached out with his left hand from behind to cover the mouth of the corps leader in front of him, and slammed the horizontal knife in his right hand into his back.
back.
The captain was shaken all over and wanted to scream, but his mouth was covered. He wanted to struggle, but as the knife was thrust into the back of his heart, he suddenly pulled out, and all his strength was released. A stream of blood spurted out, and in an instant
It was diluted by the pouring rain, and the corps commander fell to the ground exhausted.
The other soldiers suffered a similar fate, but they were assassinated by attacks from behind in an instant without even making a sound.
There is a warehouse with only a roof on the roadside. Inside the warehouse are piles of bulging sacks.
The corpses of the five soldiers were dragged to the warehouse and covered with sacks. The heavy rain would not stop for a while. Even if the rain stopped, it would be impossible to start work immediately. Unexpectedly, these corpses were discovered.
The blood on the street was quickly washed away by the heavy rain into the drainage ditch hidden on the street. The blood stains on the street were also washed away. Even the murder scene did not need to be cleaned up. All traces were washed away by the rain.
The group of people didn't speak, just nodded to each other, and continued walking towards the town office in the heavy rain.
The town office is located on the broadest street in the entire Huating Town, with tall houses on both sides. This is not a warehouse, but a place where some merchants bought it for temporary rest when doing business, and it will also be used as a shop.
For some goods, of course, there will also be clerks stationed here.
Gu Zhu looked at the terrain on both sides as he walked. When he arrived at the gate of the town office, he found that there was not a single guard.
Gu Zhuxin thought, God is really helping me. He bowed his hand to Gongsunjie without saying a word, and led his men to a shop opposite the town office. There were only a few slight noises in the shop, and then it became quiet.
Gongsunjie raised his eyes and glanced at the gray sky. The heavy rain was pouring down, hiding the sounds of evil in the world.
He was a little flustered and didn't want to stay any longer, so he knocked directly on the door of the town office.
Two doormen peeked out from behind the crack in the door, looking at Gongsun Jie in confusion.
Gongsunjie handed Zhang Liang's letter that he had prepared to his disciples, said a few words, and then left with his subordinates.
The heavy rain is still raging, and the entire Huating Town seems to be asleep...
*****
Above the sea, the tumbling waves were like a pot of boiling water. Strong winds mixed with heavy raindrops poured down. The wind surged and the rain poured down. Everywhere you looked, there was confusion.
Fang Jun frowned and looked at the heavy rain outside the window, feeling a little depressed.
If the rain is too heavy, Zhentian Lei will be scrapped...
How is the delay fuse of a grenade made?
Fang Jun scratched his eyebrows and really couldn't remember.
Without trigger fuses, explosive ammunition cannot be produced; without explosive ammunition, the power of artillery will be greatly reduced...
Fang Jun was greatly annoyed by his knowledge of physics that one bottle was not enough for half the bottle.
"General Manager, everything is ready and you can log in at any time."
Su Dingfang walked in from outside the cabin with a serious look on his face.
Fang Jun hesitated: "The rain is too heavy, and Zhentian Lei will be useless once it is hit by the rain. Without Zhentian Lei, this operation will be risky. Why don't we let them live for a few more days, and we can discuss it in the long run?"
Su Dingfang was full of confidence: "No need! Even if there is no thunder, our navy is still a first-class elite! The heavy rain has indeed caused great inconvenience to our actions, but it has disadvantages and advantages. They
Their alertness will definitely be greatly relaxed. We launch a surprise attack, and those servants and private soldiers are nothing more than local chickens and wagyu!"
Are you kidding me? Without thunder, our navy wouldn't be able to fight?
The general manager obviously didn't have enough confidence in his ability, Su Dingfang. Did he really think that the daily drills were just for fun?
Su Dingfang held a breath in his heart and wanted to show Fang Jun his ability to lead troops. Naturally, he did not agree with Fang Jun's sound strategy. It is true that this operation does not have to be carried out now. When the sky clears, he will use the thunder to open the way.
Naturally, the winning ticket is guaranteed and nothing will be lost.
However, when marching and fighting, there will always be accidents of one kind or another. Even if the military god is alive, it is impossible for his plans to be correct. In unexpected circumstances, facing an unfavorable situation, he can still fight and win. This is a strong army.
qualities that should be possessed.
Always relying on powerful firearms and equipment will make the army dare to fight tough battles and the quality of fighting tough battles will decrease. This is definitely not the behavior of a wise man.
Fang Jun didn't know much about military law, but he still trusted Su Dingfang. Seeing Su Dingfang's persistence, he nodded and said: "Okay, it's all up to you. This battle must be won in one fight, no matter what the price is!"
If the action is wrong and the target cannot be caught in one fell swoop, the consequences will be very serious. Fang Jun does not want to face that kind of stressful situation.
"promise!"
Su Dingfang responded loudly, knowing that it was of great importance.
After giving a military salute, Su Dingfang walked out of the cabin.
Fang Jun looked out the window again. On the confused sea, countless warships rushed toward the coast menacingly...
