Huashan female sword god

Chapter 114 The Bank of Taihu Lake
In the dead of night, mist covers the moon.

Above the tens of thousands of hectares of Taihu Lake, the clear waves are swaying, and the sound of the water and the wind are in harmony. It is desolate, cold and frightening.

Suddenly, the sound of oars overwhelmed the sound of wind and water!

A flat boat appeared on the Taihu Lake under the fog and sailed towards the shore.

There were two men on the boat, both rough and strong men, wearing white headscarves, half of their arms bare, and dark clothes. The difference was that the man paddling was naive and silly, while the man sitting alone drinking a drink had a fierce look on his face.

They are water pirates from Taihu Village, and they are here to pick up the brothers who are on the shore to inquire about the news tonight—but anyone who is a robber should naturally have his eyes and eyes outside to watch the direction of the wind, otherwise he will not know when the officers and soldiers come to the door, and he will die. Injustice.

When the light boat approached the shore, there was a sudden bang.

The boat shook!
The robber was caught off guard, choked on the drink, coughed several times, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "What's going on?"

His voice is also as fierce as his face!
The foolish thief who was rocking the boat said: "I seem to have hit something! Big barbarian, the master said, we can't speak loudly, you speak too loudly!"

His voice seemed sluggish, but it was deliberately lowered!

The murderer put down the jug, lowered his voice, and said, "Understood, I'll go and have a look!"

He staggered to the bow of the boat, looked down, followed the moonlight that continued to leak, and saw that there was indeed a big black thing under the boat, protruding from the water, he laughed and said: "There is really something, let me Let me see what it is, dare to block the uncle's boat!"

While talking, reach out to fish!
After doing this business, it is doomed to have to deal with the dead. This murderer has been in the business for many years, and his experience is even more seasoned. Although he is slightly drunk at this time, once he touches his hand, he knows what he is touching!
It's people!

Or rather, a corpse!

Naturally he wouldn't be afraid, but when he realized what it was, the not so much alcohol in his body would naturally disappear, his mind would clear up, and he would secretly call it bad luck, but he, a robber, was naturally not as jealous of death and disease as ordinary people, and he was poor and fastidious!
Now that we have met, there is no reason not to take a look, still holding the corner of the clothes with one hand, and rushing to the back with the other hand: "It's a dead man, big fool, come and drag it up to have a look, maybe there are a few copper coins for us Leave!"

The two worked together to drag the body onto the boat.

Leaning on the boat and taking a breath, the robber said: "Big fool, look for any valuables on this dead ghost!"

The simple thief groped around the corpse, and said after a while: "There is an iron plate!"

The bandit said: "Iron sign? Bring me and have a look!"

He had held an iron sign, but it was not big enough to slap, but it was heavy and not light. It felt uneven, with words and patterns on it, but the night was too dark and the moonlight was too thin. .

At this time, I heard the surprised voice of the simple bandit again, saying: "Look, big barbarian, this piece of paper is not wet after being soaked in water!"

"Paper that won't get wet? Let me see!"

Realizing that it might be a treasure, the robber reached out and snatched it. It was thin paper, about the size of an envelope, with several layers. It was cold, but not wet at all, just like the feeling of touching paper!
He touched the paper and felt that it was a letter, but he didn't know why, but it didn't get wet!

Guessing it was a letter, he didn't pay much attention to it. He casually threw it aside, and went to touch the iron plate again, guessing what it might be.

"Isn't it gold?"

The robber thought to himself, as a water bandit, when the market is good, he can only get a few taels of silver in a month. If the market is not good, it will be even less. One tael of gold is 15 taels of silver. , if it is gold, it is three to forty taels of silver, which is a windfall!

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to take a peek, took out the torch from his arms, and blew a cluster of flames to illuminate it!
Next to it, the stupid thief asked suspiciously: "Big savage, why did you light the fire? Didn't the big boss tell us not to light the fire after we came out?"

The robber reprimanded: "You are stupid, if you don't tell me I won't tell, won't no one know that I have set the fire too much?"

Because of the excitement, the voice did not lower, but raised, and it seemed a little intense in the night!
Then he said: "Da Hanzi, you must remember that after returning to the village, you are not allowed to talk about this with the head of the house, otherwise I will never end with you!"

The stupid thief stopped talking.

The murderer didn't care. Taking advantage of the faint firelight, he looked at the plaque in his hand. It was bright golden yellow in his eyes. Reflecting the firelight, he suddenly felt excited. It really was gold.

Then he noticed the writing on it.

He is not like ordinary thieves who do not know a single character. He has learned characters from a talented military teacher in the village, and he recognizes the word "country" on the gold medal!When he saw this word, he was stunned, but he didn't take it seriously. He breathed out at the gold medal, wiped it vigorously on his clothes, and put it away, happy in his heart!

Then he asked the stupid thief, "How is it? Is there anything else on this man?"

But the stupid thief stared blankly at the almost stripped corpse and didn't answer.He asked curiously, "Da Hanzi, what are you looking at?"

The fire was shining slightly, and the foolish thief looked at the face of the corpse, and could vaguely distinguish the face, which was very familiar, and then heard his companion questioning, saying: "Big fool, this person seems to be Lao Liu!"

The robber was startled, and Huo Zhezi moved closer to the face of the corpse, and immediately recognized that this person was really Old Liu. This was the whistle set up on the shore of Taihu Village, and he was also the person they were going to pick up tonight. He exclaimed, "It's really Old Liu...he How did you die?"

The stupid thief shook his head: "I don't know!"

The robber said: "I know you don't know, I didn't ask you! Let's go back to the village and tell the big boss about it!"

The stupid bandit was dizzy from being surrounded by him, but he still understood the second half of the sentence, he answered, turned around and went back to the depths of Taihu Lake!

The murderer sat beside the corpse, feeling a little chilly!

Lao Liu actually died?Who did it?The person who killed him is nearby?

Doubts came up one after another, and he couldn't help but look back at the depths of the jungle on the bank. In the darkness, it seemed that there was a devil hiding people, or maybe there were thousands of troops waiting to destroy the city?
He didn't want to stay here any longer, and urged, "Damn boy, hurry up!"

"Oh!"

The simple bandit replied, paddling faster.

The bandits breathed a sigh of relief as they got farther away from the shore.

Suddenly thinking of another letter, he squatted down and fumbled, and finally found it at his feet. After picking it up, he blew up the torch again. He saw that there were five large characters on the envelope: "Shentong Hou proclaimed it!"

The robber trembled!
Marquis of Shentong is a big shot who is famous all over the world. Even if he is just a water bandit, he has heard of this name before!

They didn't know that there was a person standing on a tree on the bank under the shade of the forest.

This person was wearing a large black cloak, looked very fat, and wore a hideous cyan grimace mask on his face!

Watch them disappear into the depths of Taihu Lake!
