Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 857 Murder in the Rain

Thunder and lightning flashed, torrential rain.

It was as if a hole had been pierced in the sky, the rain poured down, the space between the sky and the earth was vast, and people's faces could not be seen clearly even a few feet away.

A group of soldiers, wearing bamboo hats, rushed through the heavy rain, passed through the warehouse area, and arrived at the town office.

In the midst of the rain, the patrolling soldiers in Huating Town did not relax, and soon discovered this unknown team.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Five people formed a team, and a team of soldiers blocked the road, the team leader shouted loudly, the horizontal knife in his hand was half out of its sheath, and the whistle was in his mouth, and he would blow the whistle to warn the group of people in front of him when they couldn't tell where they came from. .

Gongsun Jie took a step forward, and politely clasped his fists and said, "I am the guard under the deputy chief's command. Under the order of the deputy chief, a letter has been sent to the town office. Please help me, brothers."

The corporal leader moved closer, and when Gongsun Jie pushed up the bamboo hat on his head, and saw his face clearly, he relaxed his guard.They are indeed Zhang Liang's subordinates. I met them yesterday. Moreover, the chief executive and the generals and lieutenants are not in the town now, so there is nothing to guard against.The reason why he still insisted on patrolling in the heavy rain was just because he held a responsibility in his heart.

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. He is a dignified prince, so he will not do anything lawless, right?
The head of the corps nodded: "It turned out to be Lieutenant Gongsun. I met you yesterday. But the chief executive is not in the town right now. According to someone, Captain Gongsun should go back first. How about seeing you after the chief inspector returns?"

Gongsun Jie wondered: "To be honest, my commander-in-chief has decided to return to Chang'an, but before leaving, there are still some words to tell the chief executive. I also know that the chief executive has already gone to sea, so I just handed over the letter Just send it to the town office, and ask a few brothers to make it easier."

This request cannot be refused.

At any rate, Zhang Liang is also the deputy chief executive appointed by the imperial court, and he couldn't wait to be run over by his own chief executive. Before leaving, he sent a letter to express his resentment, and maybe a few cursing words, which is also reasonable...

The corporal leader put the horizontal knife into its sheath, put down the whistle from his mouth, and said with a smile: "Even so, let's go with Captain Gongsun once."

You can go to the town office, but you must be under your own supervision, otherwise, who knows if these guys who hate the chief executive will play any tricks?
Gongsun Jie was very magnanimous in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's so good, I walked there yesterday, but I can't remember the way, so I will trouble my brother to lead the way."

The corporal leader said: "Yes, everyone, please follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the town office.

Gongsun Jie turned his head and glanced at Gu Zhu in the crowd. The latter understood, nodded slightly, walked a few steps quickly, and followed behind the corporal leader.Wu Duohai also led the people to patch up the traces and quickened his pace a little, approaching the other four soldiers respectively.

A group of people walked slowly in the rainstorm, and their footsteps landed on the smooth concrete paved street, splashing a splash of water.

A bolt of lightning appeared in the dark sky like cracked lines, illuminating the entire Huating Town, and then went out instantly, making the world dark again.

Rumbling thunder followed.

At the moment when the thunder exploded, Gu Zhu pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and took a quick step forward. His left hand reached out from behind to cover the mouth of the corporal in front of him, and the horizontal knife in his right slammed into his back. back.

The corporal leader trembled all over, wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered, wanted to struggle, but with the knife thrust into the back of his heart, he withdrew abruptly, and all his strength was released.A gust of blood spurted out, which was diluted by the pouring rain in an instant, and the corporal leader fell to the ground exhausted.

The fate of the other soldiers was similar, but they were assassinated by the attack from behind in an instant, without even making a sound.

There is a warehouse with only a roof on the side of the road, and there are piles of bulging sacks in the warehouse.

Drag the bodies of the five soldiers to the warehouse and cover them with sacks.The torrential rain will not stop for a while. Even if the rain stops, it is impossible to start work immediately. These corpses will not be found.

The blood on the street was quickly washed by the heavy rain into the hidden drainage ditch on the side of the street, and the blood on the street was also washed away. Even the murder scene did not need to be cleaned up, all traces were washed away by the rain.

A group of people did not speak, just nodded to each other, and continued to walk towards the town office in the heavy rain.

The town office is located on the widest street in Huating Town, with tall houses on both sides.This is not a warehouse, but a temporary resting place for some merchants to buy and reserve for transactions. It will also be used as a store to display some goods, and of course there will be staff resident here.

Gu Zhu looked at the terrain on both sides while walking, and when he arrived at the gate of the town office, he found that there was no guard.

Gu Zhuxin said that God helped me, he bowed his hands to Gongsun Jie, without saying a word, he led his men straight to a shop opposite the town office.There were only a few slight noises in the shop, and then it fell silent.

Gongsun Jie raised his eyes and glanced at the gray sky. The torrential rain was pouring down, hiding the voice of evil in the world.

He was a little flustered, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he knocked on the door of the town office.

Two doormen poked their heads out from behind the crack, looking at Gongsun Jie suspiciously.

Gongsun Jie handed Zhang Liang's letter that had been prepared to the door, said a few words, and left with his subordinates.

The torrential rain was still raging, and the entire Huating Town seemed to be asleep...

*****
On the surface of the sea, the tumbling waves looked like a pot of boiling water. The strong wind mixed with pea-sized raindrops poured down. The wind was violent and the waves were pouring down.

Fang Jun frowned and looked at the heavy rain outside the window, feeling a little depressed.

The rain is too heavy, and the thunder that shakes the sky is equivalent to being scrapped...

How is the time-delay fuze of the grenade made?
Fang Jun scratched his eyebrows, but couldn't remember.

Without the trigger fuze, the explosive ammunition cannot be made; without the explosive ammunition, the power of the artillery will be greatly reduced...

Fang Jun was very annoyed at his knowledge of physics, which was half a bottle full and half a bottle dangling.

"Boss, everything is ready and you can log in at any time."

Su Dingfang walked in from outside the cabin with a stern expression on his face.

Fang Jun was a little hesitant: "The rain is too heavy, and Zhentianlei is useless once it is rained. Without Zhentianlei, this operation would be risky. Why don't we let them live for a few more days first, let's think about 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 did cause great inconvenience to our actions, but there are also advantages and disadvantages. They Our guard will definitely be greatly relaxed. We will launch a strong attack by surprise, and those servants and private soldiers are nothing but local chickens and dogs!"

Are you kidding me, without Thunderbolt, our navy wouldn't be able to fight?

The head manager obviously lacks confidence in Su Dingfang's ability. Do you really think that the daily practice is just to amuse the children?

Su Dingfang held his breath in his heart and wanted to show Fang Jun his ability to lead troops, so he naturally disagreed with Fang Jun's safe strategy.It is true that this operation does not have to be carried out now, and when the sky clears, use the thunder to open the way, and the chances of winning are naturally in your hands.

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 to make a correct plan.Under unexpected circumstances, in the face of an unfavorable situation, you can still win the battle. This is the quality that a strong army should have.

Always relying on powerful firearms and equipment will reduce the quality of the army to dare to fight tough battles and be able to fight tough battles, which is definitely not what wise men do.

Fang Jun didn't know anything about military law, but he still trusted Su Dingfang. Seeing Su Dingfang's insistence, he nodded and said, "That's all up to you. This battle must be won in one battle, no matter what price you pay!"

If he makes a mistake and fails to catch all the targets, the consequences will be very serious. Fang Jun does not want to face such a desperate situation.

"promise!"

Su Dingfang responded loudly, he naturally knew that it had a lot to do with it.

After paying a military salute, Su Dingfang walked out of the cabin.

Fang Jun looked out of the window again. On the confused sea, countless warships rushed towards the coast aggressively...
