Gao Muqing and Liang Qi suddenly realized, and the three of them immediately ran to the cave below, carrying barrels of wooden barrels up and throwing them into the fire. After drinking tea, the flowing water carried the fire dragon throughout the cave, and soon
Soon, the flames ignited the piled materials. After seven or eight materials caught fire, the entire material cave was filled with thick smoke and flames.
After several piles of food, cotton and linen materials caught fire, it got out of control. The fire went straight to the top of the cave, licking the stone stalactites hanging upside down from the top of the cave. Under the burning of the flames, the top of the cave looked like a sharp-toothed stone bell.
The breasts began to collapse and fall off, raining down everywhere in the cave. Dozens of bandit soldiers below were penetrated like headless flies. They were running around in a hurry because they had realized that the end was coming.
Thick smoke was already billowing on the corridor leading to the exit, and countless bandit soldiers rushed to the only escape channel. Jia Dongsheng was the first batch to rush here. As the fire spread, Jia Dongsheng had realized that he must
Escape quickly, otherwise it will be too late. He quickly fled to the lifting platform, boarded the lifting platform, and used the microphone embedded on the wall of the shaft to order the people above to pull him up.
But what he didn't expect was that there were many smart people who glanced at him. Dozens of bandit soldiers also rushed over, scrambling to get onto the lift platform. The two-foot-square lift platform was crowded in a moment.
There were more than thirty people, packed tightly. Countless bandit soldiers crowded in from behind, but they were a step too late. When the second batch of bandit soldiers rushed into the hut, the lift platform had already started to rise precariously.
More than a dozen bandit soldiers desperately reached out to grab the edge fence of the lift platform and hung them from the bottom like dried salted fish. There were actually more than fifty people loaded up and down the entire lift platform. There were no bandits who could catch up below.
The soldiers raised their heads and looked at the slowly rising lift platform, cursing and shouting loudly. Some people began to cry uncontrollably. They realized that this might be their last chance, and the smoke had filled the entire passage.
Come off stage, they may be dead.
The lift platform rose slowly, and the thick cables made a bouncing sound, but no one noticed this. The people above and below were thankful that they could escape the sea of fire and smoke below, and were lucky to survive. But they forgot,
The weight of more than fifty of them is as high as six to seven thousand kilograms, which has already exceeded the load of the platform. The dozen or so strong men above who were turning the shafts could still hold on, and they could push the winch to pull them up, but the platform could not support
I can't hold it anymore, the rope can't hold it up anymore.
Just when the lift platform reached a height of ten feet, a thick cable broke with a snap. The entire lift platform suddenly tilted to one foot. Amidst the screams of surprise, the bandit soldiers on the platform were shaking like dumplings.
The guardrail on one side crashed and fell down.
The ground was rocky, and the height of ten feet was enough to break their bones. Dozens of people fell down, and the screams were extremely loud. The ground was instantly covered with blood. Most people fell directly.
Falling to death, a small number of people were smashed to death by others, and the other lucky ones were smashed to death by others, themselves injured, but saved their lives. There were also a few luckier ones who grabbed the edge of the platform because of their timely reactions.
fence without falling off.
Jia Dongsheng is one of these extremely lucky people. The direction of the platform breaking was not on his side, but in the diagonal direction. This prevented him from falling instantly or being taken down by others. At the moment the platform capsized,
, Jia Dongsheng reached out and grabbed the upper edge of the fence. It hung there like a piece of bacon.
The two bandit soldiers hanging next to them were also hanging there. The three figures looked like three dried fish meats drying in the sun.
The platform was still rising. The three of them were all a little fat, so the grip of their arms soon became unable to support their huge bodies. A bandit soldier next to Jia Dongsheng was the first to be unable to support himself and let go of his grip with a cry.
Along with the long and shrill echo, a popping sound came from below.
Jia Dongsheng's eyes were red, and he was holding on to the fence with his stiff fingers along the spit. Another bandit soldier on his left cried loudly: "I can't hold on anymore, Leader Jia, help me."
Jia Dongsheng spat and cursed: "I can't protect myself, how can I save you?"
The bandit's face was twisted, and his fingers slowly slid down. Finally, his hands were loosened, and his body fell diagonally. The platform was actually shaking, and coincidentally, it was swinging to the high point on the left like a swing at this time, which caused
The bandit soldier happened to brush against Jia Dongsheng's body when he fell. People before death are extremely agile. The bandit soldier reached out in mid-air and hugged one of Jia Dongsheng's legs hanging below.
Jia Dongsheng's arm trembled and he almost let go. His hand suffered from the strength of two people and suddenly became unbearably sore.
"Fuck you, mother, let go quickly. If you want to die, then die. Don't come to harm me." Jia Dongsheng cursed.
The bandit soldier held Jia Dongsheng's leg with a mournful face and shouted: "I don't want to die, please hold on, leader Jia."
"Let go, I can't hold on anymore." Jia Dongsheng kicked the bandit with his other foot. The bandit didn't know where the strength came from. He held on tightly and refused to let go, letting Jia Dongsheng's foot hit his face.
Kicked hard on the head.
While the two were entangled, they heard a click. This sound was just an ordinary sound of wood breaking, but to Jia Dongsheng's ears at this time, it was nothing more than the impermanent sound of threatening life. Jia Dongsheng's hand did not loosen.
, still holding on to the edge of the wooden fence tightly. But the wooden fence he was holding on to was broken. The wooden fence had long been in disrepair, and the cold, hot, wet, dry, dry conditions in this cave had already become too strong to support such a
It had been a miracle for a long time. At this moment, it finally broke.
"Ah." the bandit shouted.
"Fuck you, you made me die, I'm a ghost and won't let you go." Jia Dongsheng cursed.
With a pop, the two people fell to the ground. They fell in an orderly manner, but they were reincarnated in no particular order, and they died at the same time.
…
The sky was already twilight, and Hai Dongqing, who had not slept a wink all night, did not rest. He had been sitting on the big animal skin chair in the Juyi Hall, squinting his eyes and holding his chin, looking at the black smoke that was beating endlessly in the big iron pot in front of him.
flame.
After the discussion, the leaders had already dispersed. Except for the guards standing in the shadows, the Juyi Hall seemed empty and lonely. Hai Dongqing's mind was also empty, or it was filled with too many things.
There are too many things to think about and they are too complicated, making it seem empty and unable to make sense.
The officers and soldiers are about to attack the island, and they should arrive soon after dawn. Hai Dongqing is actually not too worried, because no matter how you think about it, this attack by the officers and soldiers is an act of overestimating their capabilities.
Their plan was indeed very clever. They sent Lin Jue and Gao Muqing to the island to respond internally, and deliberately chose the time to attack before the hurricane came, so that their own people could not intercept them at sea. It must be said that the whole plan was extremely clever.
And it was unexpected. Hai Dongqing was surprised for a long time after learning all this.
But this plan was actually on the verge of collapse. First of all, the insiders on the island were eliminated, although Lin Jue did cause some trouble. His traitorous son was actually encouraged by him to rebel and kill him, and he also killed his wife, concubines and two children.
He is a precious son, and the blows are not without pain. But these blows are only based on his own personal emotional blows, and have no impact on the overall situation. He escaped the assassination of the traitor and returned to the island, and the situation on the island also changed.
Nothing changed. On the contrary, Lin Jue and Gao Muqing were forced to escape. Whether these two people died on the sea or were lucky enough to live on a desert island, at least they could no longer stay on the island to make trouble.
Secondly, although the offensive plan of the officers and soldiers was exquisite, they underestimated the defensive ability of Taohua Island. Taohua Island not only relies on the advantage of the terrain and the strength of the crowd, but also has accumulated a lot of things on hand over the years.
I have stored a lot of kerosene bed crossbows, which are useful for attacking cities and fortresses, and I have also stored a lot of strong bows, hard crossbows, and armor, but when they are not used, my brothers usually still use them.
He was shirtless and holding harpoons and steel knives. Of course, it was because the objects he had to deal with were not threatening. He could easily rob ships and plunder inland without any challenge. The other reason was also because he had deliberately disguised himself.
The imperial officials believed that there was nothing to worry about because there was just a ragtag group of people on Peach Blossom Island. In this way, at the critical moment, their powerful combat power could catch them by surprise.
Therefore, this time when the officers and soldiers attack the island, with these things, if Ning Haijun is ignorant of current affairs, he will teach them a big lesson. He even hopes that they will be ignorant of current affairs. If they can annihilate Ning Haijun's navy, then Hangzhou
Or maybe it will really fall into my own hands. Thinking about it is exciting.
Hai Dongqing squinted in thought, thinking about things in his mind. Suddenly, footsteps thumped at the door of the Juyi Hall, and two tall voices rushed in at a trot. Hai Dongqing raised his eyes and saw that it was himself who came in.
The chief and deputy leader of the guard camp next to him, his subordinates are the Great Vajra Meng Xiang and the Second Vajra Song Mian, who are known as the Eight Great Vajras.
Hai Dongqing sat up straight and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any news about the officers and soldiers? Why didn't the military advisor come to inform me?"
Meng Xiang and Song Mian stepped forward to salute. Meng Xiang shook his head and said, "There is no news about the officers and soldiers. The military advisor is arranging troops and horses outside. We have other things to report to the island... that... Holy Duke."
Meng Xiang obviously didn't like Haidongqing's new name.
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me." When Hai Dongqing heard the news that it was not the arrival of officers and soldiers, he immediately relaxed and reached out to drink the tea on the wooden table next to him.
"That's it. Just now, the second brother went on patrol, and several of the guard brothers at the checkpoint leading to Juyi Hall disappeared. The second brother felt strange and couldn't find anything after asking around, so he sent someone to search. As a result, they were found in the bushes south of the checkpoint.
Their bodies. They were killed. And the badges on three of them were missing." Meng Xiang said loudly.
"What?" Hai Dongqing put down the tea cup in surprise. "Is this true?" Hai Dongqing looked at Song Xian.
"Holy...Holy Duke, it's true. The corpses were found by Zhejiang himself. They were all fatally injured, and one of them had his neck broken. It looked like it was done by a master. His subordinates felt that things were very strange.
, so he told the boss. The boss said that he should quickly inform Mr. Sheng, what does Mr. Sheng think is going on?" Song Mian replied hurriedly.
Hai Dongqing's face turned livid, and he frowned and said, "It seems there are spies on the island." After pondering for a moment, Hai Dongqing said again, "What did you just say? The waistband on the body is missing?"
"Yes." Meng Xiang and Song Xian nodded in succession.
Hai Dongqing stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "No, what are they going to do with the guard's badge? The guard's badge can come here. Could it be that..."
Meng Xiang and Song Mian changed their expressions at the same time. Meng Xiang said loudly: "Holy Duke, my subordinates immediately went to inquire. There are two more checkpoints and a layer of outposts from the first checkpoint to this. If you want to come up, you must be subject to inspection."
For interrogation. Maybe they can know if anyone has come here with those three waistbands and pretended to be someone else."
