At night, it rained in Pinghai County, with heavy thunder and even heavier raindrops.
The blood shed during the daytime battles melted into the rainwater, raising the water level of the thousands of water systems in Pinghai County by at least three inches.
The flow rate of the originally knee-deep streams has greatly increased, and it is almost possible to go boating in various water systems.
At the beginning, the water level in the eastern part of the county was higher, and with the strong waves on the sea, the smelly and turbid sewage was almost carried by the sea water and poured into various water systems.
Fortunately, the water moved downwards, otherwise the entire Pinghai County would not have been able to escape being stained with blood.
The Pinghai Rebellion was the largest bloody conflict in the world since the imperial court promulgated the "Martial Restriction Order."
However, for most of the Jianghu forces, this so-called chaotic war is just a tentative trial.
Test the court's tolerance for the third clause of the military restriction order: "No fights between more than 20 people shall occur."
Trying to figure out how to conduct the most effective fight under limited rules.
Then take advantage of the fight to test the details of each party and observe the current situation of each party, etc.
Even the Proud Bloodthirsty Group, which is the representative of the imperial court, is no exception.
Generally speaking, except for the red priest who was pushed to the forefront, the injuries suffered during the day were within the acceptable range of all parties.
However, when the sun sets and a heavy rain falls, all parties who are unable to figure out the whole situation will inevitably feel worried because the identity of the person behind the scenes is unknown.
After all, no one wants the misfortune that happened to the Red Sect to happen to them inexplicably in the future.
As for the mute Red-clothed Sect who eats Coptis chinensis, they will naturally not be stupid enough to explain how much they have lost. Only from the fragmentary information that can be found by all parties, it can be seen that the Red-clothed Sect has at least lost one property located north of Bishatan Beach.
In the secret hideout, forty members of the congregation were killed and eighty members were injured and disabled in the chaotic battle. Among the dead were the well-known deacons and the two guardians of Guitang Lalan and Buddha.
Since there is no way to know the specific situation of the secret den, it is impossible to estimate the amount of material and financial losses suffered by the Red Sect. Of course, judging from the massive manpower investment of the Red Sect after the incident, the Red Sect is bound to suffer a huge loss this time.
Small.
What is more interesting to those who don’t mind watching the excitement is the reaction of the court representatives to this matter.
At first, the proud Bloodthirsty Regiment, which had an attitude of sitting on the sidelines and saying it had nothing to do with it, mobilized 300 troops after discovering the anomaly on the blue beach, and quickly took control of the entire beach. The regiment leader Zhan Lihua personally led the team to board the ship, and it is said that they conducted an attack on the ship overnight.
All members of the "Pinghai Red Clothes Forum" conducted secret inquiries.
When they left the camp, although no members of the Red Sect were arrested, hundreds of soldiers were left behind to set up tents on the north side of the beach and take turns to keep watch, keeping strangers away.
And this information, large and small, true and false, spread like wildfire in all directions.
…
…
The next day, Pinghai County was hit by the lingering autumn rain, and the whole day was gloomy and gloomy, which made people sad just to look at it.
At night, Hong Shang, the rumored and extremely mysterious leader of the Red Sect, rushed to Pinghai County from nowhere.
The red dress stood alone on the high cliff south of the blue sand beach, letting the fine rainwater completely wet it.
The four hall masters, three deputy hall masters and six guardians of the fourth hall of Jia, Ding and Wugui, a total of thirteen people, knelt down a few feet away from their leader. No one dared to move even one inch before the leader spoke.
.
Among the thirteen people, there were five black men with short stature and strange attire, a woman with simple makeup, and an old man with white beard and hair who was over sixty years old.
Black clouds cover the sky, leaving no trace of the stars and moon. The slanting wind and drizzle on the sea create a huge black curtain.
With his nose pressed to the ground, Sha Qing, the leader of Wutang Hall, not only felt his breathing suppressed, but also felt that the raindrops on his back had condensed into stones that seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. Even the sound of the waves lapping on the shore sounded like the anger in the leader's heart.
The evolution of the shore.
Sha Qing had never seen Hong Shang get so angry. Even when Xintang was completely taken away by the Daoyi Alliance, he never saw the leader showing any resentment on his face. At most, he made a temporary mistake and put Liang Zimeng in danger.
Gong Du, the leader of Jia Hall, was demoted to deputy hall leader on the spot.
It has always been the chief and deputy heads of the Jia Hall who express the anger from the leader to everyone in the church. If he hadn't felt the strong pressure brought by the other party's gaze when he was in front of the leader several times, Sha Qing would even have doubts.
Is this leader a puppet created by Jia Tang to fool people?
However, this time and that time.
Even Sha Qing himself doesn't take Xintang seriously, so what if Xintang is destroyed?
In the words of scholars, it is called "harmless".
But what about this time?
Their loss was not just a secret cave of purgatory.
Not to mention the Liangzi cat's position in the leader's mind was very important.
The cunning rabbit has three burrows. The cunning rabbit has three burrows. Now that all three burrows have been destroyed, and they were destroyed without anyone noticing, is it time to get anxious and bite people?
So as soon as they heard that the leader was coming in the rain, they rushed over in a hurry, and all of them got ready to plead guilty and accept punishment.
No matter how much criticism the leader of the church gives them, they deserve it.
To Sha Qing's surprise, and to the surprise of most people, the leader only allowed them to kneel for less than one stick of incense. His knees were not numb, and his feet were not weak, so he hooked his hand to signal them to let them kneel.
Stand up and speak.
With the old man taking the lead, no one dared to be pretentious and disobedient, so they stood up and stood ready for orders.
The old man is tall and has a long face. Even though he is over sixty years old, he is still not rickety in the slightest. His wet beard and hair stick to his cheeks, making him look slightly embarrassed, but his graceful demeanor cannot be concealed.
This person is Gong Du, who was demoted to deputy palace master due to serious mistakes.
With such a big incident happening in Pinghai County, Halls B and B can be absent, but Hall A cannot be absent.
The hall master was far away and Gong Du was close, so he came to preside over various matters on his behalf.
In fact, Gong Du arrived less than two hours earlier than Hongshang. During these two hours, this capable old man had figured out the whole thing and made emergency arrangements for some urgent matters.
.
Of all the people present, Gong Du was undoubtedly the one who had followed Hong Shang the longest and was the most trusted by Hong Shang. It would not be wrong for everyone to follow him.
Gong Du stood up and dusted off the dirt hanging from his clothes. He took a few steps forward and respectfully made a detailed report on the personnel, property, and material reserves in the three secret caves, and then reported the information left by the intruders.
The clues were laid out, and then he explained several decisions he made after arriving.
Although he repeatedly failed in analyzing the direction of the incident, Gong Du still believed that he should put forward his own judgment, so he combed through the clues he had collected previously in his mind over and over again, and said prudently: "Based on Lao Nu's preliminary judgment, this
Sacrifice, treasure hiding, and death in all three caves of purgatory cannot be accomplished by one person."
"Without a rigorous intelligence network tracking, observing and analyzing day and night, it would be impossible to discover the location of the three secret holes hidden behind layers of deception. The Zhongzhou Intelligence Organization, which has enough manpower to repeat such complicated work day after day, would not be able to find out the location of the three secret holes in the eyes of the old slave.
There are only four that can be found, the Anbu of the Daoyi Alliance, the Wind Chime of the Zangfeng Pavilion, the Ghost Hall of the Netherworld Sect, and the unknown force behind the Gusu Bao."
"No matter which intelligence network works hard for days and nights, it can't cover up the long-term carelessness of our church and even the defense of Sandong."
"Of course, now that the matter has come to this, and especially when it comes to employing people, I don't suggest that the leader should pursue individual faults and impose punishments according to crime. It is better to let everyone make up for their faults."
"Having said that, even if the directions of the three caves are found, it doesn't mean that anyone will be able to chew down these three pieces of land."
"Zangfeng Pavilion doesn't dare to stretch its hand so far."
"The Netherworld Sect can't shrink back."
"It's okay to ask and follow the forces to stir up trouble. If you can make waves on your own, it will be too dormant."
"In the end, Lao Ji Fufeng's Daoyi Alliance is very likely to unite with Tingyuge to invade."
"The old slave is also more inclined to kill all the people who penetrate our sect's three secret caves tonight from Tingyu Pavilion."
"First of all, it is probably unusual that Tingyu Pavilion's hidden combat power outside of the strategy has not been revealed to the public for a long time."
"Secondly, Cifeng completely disappeared after entering the Kunlun Desert. The old slave thought that he might have committed suicide in order to get rid of the control of our sect, and before he committed suicide, he would definitely reveal his details to Tingyu Pavilion.
"
"Luo Piaoling is full of tricks. I think he has been eyeing my teaching for a long time!"
