The high cliffs on both sides of the strait were covered in darkness, giving everyone a sense of gloom.
"Full sails!" Commander Jiang shouted, feeling increasingly uneasy and wanting to get out of Nanjinguan as soon as possible.
When you reach a place where the water is vast, the boat can be used.
Two large bamboo strips were pulled up, the wind was blowing, and the ship moved forward again. The rocks split by the knife were flying on both sides. It was about to break out of Nanjinguan. The canyon became wider and there was another roadblock ahead.
In front of them were old fishing boats again, with three rows of them. There were two men in black standing on each boat. They were no longer scarecrows this time. The sound of shouts and shouts echoed endlessly in the canyon, and the frightened birds fluttered their wings and flew away.
Commander Jiang waved the red flag and fired arrows as usual. Everyone on the boat plunged into the water without looking back, running faster than fish.
Commander Jiang lowered his flag and said, "Huh, you guys are running fast!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden fire on the row of fishing boats. It was just a weak flame, but with the help of oil and wind, it suddenly rose into the sky, reflecting the two sides of the bank red, and even the lake surface was red.
Those fishing boats were filled with firewood.
"Hurry and reef the sails! Halt the sails!" Commander Jiang shouted anxiously as he saw that the ship was about to crash into the sea of fire.
If the ship enters this sea of fire, the sails will be set, where can we put out the fire?
The officers and soldiers on the ship were in disarray, and all came to help pull the sail. The full sail was blown very full by the wind, and the sail was pulled slowly.
But the sea of fire was right ahead, so how could we move so slowly? Finally, someone cut the hemp rope with a knife and let the sail fall down.
The boat in front barely stopped, and the boat behind almost collided with it. Fortunately, both boats stopped in the end.
The boat was completely motionless on the water.
In front of the blazing fire, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Dutou held the knife, and when he saw Wang Dutou standing close to Commander Jiang, he didn't bother to go over and try to flatter him, but just tightened his strings to be on guard.
The soldiers on the side murmured: "The Jiang thieves are so cunning. I don't know where they are ambush."
Yu Dutou immediately raised his head and took a look. There were cliffs along the river. Monkeys would slip when they stood on them. They could only ambush in the water.
"Be careful," he turned back to scold the chattering crowd, "They can come up with a plan to burn us, maybe it's under the water."
At this moment, a stone rolled down from the cliff on the left. The small stone hit the big stone, and the dust flew up and fell into the river with a crackle.
The sound of rocks stirring water broke the silence.
A rope dropped from the top of the cliff, followed by a second, third...
No one on either boat expected that river thieves would fall from the sky, let alone that there could be such a large number of them.
More than the entire Ningyuan Army!
When a group of thieves armed with long knives poured into the ship, the officers and soldiers armed with sharp swords were at a loss and ran away in panic.
Commander Jiang gritted his teeth and fought his way out, shouting angrily. While telling the ship to move faster, he told his soldiers not to run away, and fought hard to kill the enemy.
These pampered soldiers simply didn't know how to fight back. There were many times more Jiang thieves than them, and they could squeeze them out of the boat.
Moreover, these people kill without blinking an eye, never letting a single person alive, killing from outside to inside, not even giving the slightest chance to escape.
The deck was stained red with blood, the bodies fell into the river, the water turned red, and the entire Xiling Gorge was shaken by the screams of murder.
As the sky grew brighter and brighter, the river was filled with corpses, and the river thieves smashed Nanjinguan into pieces, leaving only two large ships.
Tie Zhenshan put away the knife and wiped the blood beads off her face, leaving traces of blood. She waved her hand, walked to the cabin door, and said loudly: "Open all the boxes and let the brothers take a look!"
Tong Peng followed her behind and squeezed in: "I haven't seen any money, why are you so anxious?"
"I've never seen a dog. The dog squeezed me." Tie Zhenshan gave him a sideways look.
The boxes were opened one by one, and inside were neatly filled with fifty taels of silver collars. Tie Zhenshan picked up one and saw that it was engraved with "Silver Collar Sihaipu Ji", and turned over it was engraved with "Xinzhou Jiefa Zhang De Thirty".
Ezhou Gangyin in Eight Years".
"Official silver is neat," Tong Peng's eyes sparkled, and he just wanted to dive into the silver box, "It's a pity that it still has to be melted."
"Let's go and look behind us."
The two of them moved from the small boat to the boat at the back. Before entering the cabin, they saw You Song and his gang guarding the cabin. Tianxin and Baiyu were standing on the deck, their eyes full of shock.
Tong Peng walked over and asked: "Why don't you count the money inside and blow the wind here? You don't want the money anymore?"
Baiyu shook his head: "It's still comfortable outside."
Tianxin touched his bald head: "Don't look at me killing people, but the Buddha is in my heart. I can become a Buddha immediately if I put down the butcher knife. As for the prince, he won't touch a drop of blood. The world is messed up on his hands. I don't dare to go."
"
Tong Peng looked at Tie Zhenshan who was walking towards the cabin: "You are a monk, but you are not as courageous as a girl!"
"Amitabha," Tianxin clasped his hands together, "don't you know that since ancient times, sexual and boldness can be overwhelming?"
The cowardly Tie Zhenshan got past You Song and saw the cabin full of boxes first.
The boxes were all opened. Half of them were the same silver collars as the previous ship, and the other half were also silver collars, but without the engraving.
She came over and took an ingot in her hand, wondering: "This is also tax money? Why didn't you print it?"
"This is the private money given by Liangguang Road to the Zhang family." King Jin was looking intently at a white jade Guanyin that was taller than him, and answered without looking back.
Tie Zhenshan opened her mouth wide: "It's great to be an official. This must be about one hundred thousand taels! Tax money? Just give it to the Zhang family?"
There was another sentence that she subconsciously did not say: "Whose world is this?"
"This is not much," King Jin still looked at Jade Guanyin indifferently. Even the blood in the river could not warm him, but his voice was light and airy. "One million taels were sent to Zhejiang Road."
After hearing this, Tie Zhenshan felt that one million taels was very heavy. It was too heavy to be loaded on two large ships. Then she felt that it was very light. It was so light that the King of Jin could say it so lightly. It must be just a silver note. It is so light.
The land fell into the Zhang family's pocket.
She decided to go to King Jin to calm down her feeling of unreality.
The light in the cabin is dim. King Jin is wearing a long gray coat, with half-closed peach blossom eyes, a jade-white complexion, a begonia jade ribbon around his waist with a silk ribbon, and tassels hanging on both sides. Other than that, there is nothing else.
If someone reaches out to touch him, they will only feel a piece of coldness.
Avalokitesvara is crystal clear, sleeping with eyes straight and nose straight, fingers of left hand resting on right wrist, holding rosary beads in right hand, bare feet, showing compassion for all living beings.
After seeing King Jin and this Guanyin, Tie Zhenshan not only did not get down to earth again, but became more and more buoyant, as if she could become an immortal in one step.
She went deeper into the sleepiness of King Jin, and at the same time coveted Jade Guanyin: "This...how much is this worth?"
King Jin came down from Guanyin's shrine, regained his popularity, and answered her with a smile: "This is a priceless treasure."
This Avalokitesvara is flawless, only the jade heart is taken. Since jade is brittle, if you want to carve such a large Guanyin, every move may cause the jade to split. Therefore, not only is such a large piece of flawless jade rare, but those who dare to grind jade are also very rare.
