Chapter 253
The Leizhou islands were about 10000 square kilometers in total.
The Leizhou Island, where the raging tide city was located, occupied about half of them, and it was now occupied by the Jin family. Over the past six months, the heavenly Dao Association and the Jin family had migrated tens of thousands of people to Leizhou.
As for the other half of the Leizhou archipelago, it had fallen into Zhang Ji’s hands.
After Zhang Ji left Nujiang County, the remaining half of the Leizhou archipelago was divided into two. One half was ruled by Qiu Wu, and the other was given to the garrison of Nujiang County.
The king conferred Jin Shiying as the Furious tide city Lord and Qiu Wu as the Tianfeng city Lord.
As the adopted son of the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei, not only had Qiu Hao survived the battle, but he had also become the city Lord, all thanks to Zhang Ji.
He had originally made up his mind to follow Zhang Ye and make him his backer in the officialdom.
However, he did not expect Zhang Ji to fall so quickly and be directly locked up in prison by the monarch.
Qiu Hao would have lost his backer.
However, it didn’t matter. Soon, the third Prince and the crown prince’s men came to find him.
After all, Qiu Wu was a pirate. After three minutes of silent mourning for Zhang Ji and Sir, he decisively changed sides and sided with the Crown Prince.
It was indeed nice to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
After defecting to the Crown Prince, the benefits would come in a steady stream.
Qiu Wu used the momentum to expand.
Originally, he only had 3000 Pirates left under his command, but this time, it immediately expanded to more than 5000.
No money to build ships?
Yin Yuan Association immediately took out a loan and built new ships one after another.
However, it would take a long time to build a ship. It would take about a year or so for his fleet to be able to cross the sea again.
He only had one mission so far.
Keep an eye on the Jin family and the raging tide city.
He restrained and suppressed them!
However, the good times did not last long. Just about a month ago, Qiu Hao’s money was cut off and he had no more money.
He couldn’t collect any taxes in Tianfeng city, and all the trade was done in raging tide city.
Apart from a large shipyard, there was nothing else to be gained on the entire windy Island.
The key was that the shipyard was a gold-eating beast. It only ate money and didn’t spit it out.
Previously, when they had money, Chou Wu continued to expand and expand his Army.
And once their money was cut off, it would be troublesome. They would not even be able to pay their salary.
His subordinates were all Pirates. He couldn’t pillage, and he didn’t pay them. How could he do that?
If he didn’t pay, even if the king of the heavens came, it would be useless. Even the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei wouldn’t be able to suppress him, let alone Qiu Wu.
His brothers were about to rebel.
Tianfeng city’s master, Chou Hao, was burning with anxiety. He desperately tried to contact Zhuo Zhaoyan and Yin Yuan Association to ask for money.
However, at this moment, the Crown Prince and Yin Yuanhui seemed to have completely disappeared, completely ignoring him.
He made up his mind and went to find the third Prince.
He had thought that the third Prince’s faction would happily accept him.
However, he did not expect that the third Prince’s faction was also very cold.
What should he do?
He couldn’t rely on the Jin family, could he?
You really don’t say!
If Qiu Hao was really forced into a corner, he would really go and seek refuge with the Marquis of Xuanwu.
He was the head of the Pirates, what couldn’t he do?
However, at that moment, Savior appeared with a few boxes of gold coins.
The envoy of Wu country!
If it was Jin Zhuo, he definitely wouldn’t have accepted even half a gold coin.
But what was Qiu Wu afraid of? he accepted it on the spot.
However, he avoided the request of the Wu envoy.
I, Qiu Wu, only take money, I don’t do anything.
It’s basically impossible for me to betray the Yue country.
However, the recent rumors had completely changed!
First of all, the border between Wu and Yue had a hunting competition, and the king of Yue had lost.
Soon after, su Nan rebelled and led a few hundred men to kill their way in and out of the capital.
Then, the Chu army closed in, the King of Wu’s Army went south, and the SU and Qiang tribes in the West were united. The battle in the South was lost.
The Yue country was in danger.
He couldn’t pass this stage. Even if he could barely pass, he would only be left with half a breath.
The Yue country is no longer a big thigh. Should I change to another one?
............
At this moment, the Wu state’s emissary appeared in front of Qiu Hao again.
Where’s the money?
Why didn’t you bring any gold coins? I’m going to be paid again. How can I pay without money? If we don’t pay, our brothers will rebel, right?
“Chieftain Qiu Wu, have you made up your mind?”
Qiu Wu was not willing to give in. He smiled and said, ” “This is a serious matter, I need to think about it.”
“City Master Chou Wu, you don’t know much about the outside world since you’re on the heavenly Wind Island. You don’t have the time to think about it anymore,” said the Wu state’s Messenger.
“What do you mean?” Qiu Wu asked.
The envoy from Wu State said,”first, su Nan is about to rebel and the Army of the Qiang state is about to attack the Yue State.” Second, the decisive battle between King Wu and King Yue was about to erupt. What do you think the result will be?”
Although Qiu Hao was not a military expert, he also knew that the SU and Qiang Alliance Army had 70 to 80 thousand soldiers. Yue state’s Tianxi province would definitely not be able to stop them.
Once the southern part of Tianxi province fell, the situation would be astonishing.
The two armies of su and Qiang could pincer Zhongyao’s Army with Chu in the North, and attack the fragile capital in the West.
No matter what the situation was, if the king of Yue ignored his support, then he would definitely lose the battle with King of Wu.
The State of Yue would lose at least a quarter of its territory, or even more.
The Wu state’s emissary sneered,”city Lord Chou Wu, you are now on my Wu state’s side, so you have more weight.” If we wait until the king of Yue is defeated before submitting, then we’ll lose a lot of weight.”
This was indeed the truth.
But to join the Wu country so rashly?
It still didn’t work.
“There is one more crucial piece of news. Jin Zhuo is dead,” the Wu State Messenger said.
As soon as he heard this, Qiu Wu couldn’t help but tremble and say, ” “The real Suan ni is really dead?”
Of course, he had also received news of Jin Zhuo’s death.
In his heart, he believed it, but he also didn’t dare to believe it.
“Suffering and killing,” the Wu envoy said.
Qiu Wu said, ” that’s not right. Ku touhuan only kills those who have committed the most heinous crimes. Although Marquis Jin Zhuo is my enemy, his character is obvious to all. I, Qiu Wu, can’t lie with my eyes open. How could ku touhuan kill him? ”
“Because bitter joy is a blade raised by some Big Shot in Yue State,” the envoy of Wu State sneered.
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Wu jumped in shock.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
“City Master Chou Wu, don’t you find it strange?” the Wu state’s envoy asked. Why did the Crown Prince of Yue suddenly ignore you? He didn’t even care about the yin Yuan Association? Aren’t they afraid that you’ll join Jin Zhuo?”
Oh yeah? This was something that Qiu Wu could not understand.
I, Qiu Wu, am clearly very useful, so why did Yin Yuan suddenly abandon me?
we need to take over raging tide city, ” the Wu Messenger said. but Yin Yuan society needs it even more.
Qiu Wu knew this.
Previously, when his foster father, the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei, was guarding raging tide city, the entire trade rights were handed over to the yin Yuan Association to manage.
When raging tide city fell, the one who suffered the greatest loss was Yin Yuan Association.
“I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. The military expenses we sent you before were not from the Wu country, but from the hidden faction through our hands.” The messenger of Wu State said.
Qiu Hao was shocked.
“The hidden faction has paid us an astronomical sum of military expenses in advance for this battle!” The Wu Messenger continued. One of them is for you, city Lord Qiu Wu, a very, very large sum of money. As long as you agree to join us, this money will be yours immediately.”
“How much is it?” Qiu Wu asked, trembling.
“350000 gold coins!” The messenger of Wu State said.
Qiu Wu’s liver trembled. He had never seen so much money before.
This amount of money was enough for him to spend for several years.
“In order to seize the entire Leizhou archipelago, our King is playing along with that madman ning yuanxian,” the messenger of Wu said.”A decisive battle between the two kings is about to break out. In order to take over raging tide city, the hidden origins society had paid more than one million gold in advance for military expenses. They had also loaned an astronomical amount of gold to that madman, ning yuanxian. After paying such a huge price, whether it’s the Wu country or the yin Yuan Association, they are all determined to get their hands on the Furious tide city. City Lord Qiu Wu, do you think you can stop this trend?”
There was no more respect in the words of the Wu envoy. Instead, there was a threat.
Qiu Wu was indeed frightened.
He wasn’t as ambitious as Qiu Tianwei and he didn’t look down on everyone.
Yin Yuan Association and Wu country were both super Giants, and these two giants had paid such a huge price just to take over raging tide city.
Could Qiu Wu Block it?
No!
If these two giant wheels came crashing over, he, Qiu Wu, would not be able to block them.
Moreover, some people in Yue country were secretly cooperating with Wu country and had directly abandoned him.
Moreover, Yue country was about to face a great disaster.
I, Qiu Wu, have no other choice.
In fact, he wouldn’t even be able to pay his salary.
“If I surrender to the Wu country, can I become the raging tide city Lord?” Qiu Wu said.
The envoy of Wu State shook his head. impossible. The king paid such a huge price to take down raging tide city. How could he give it to you? ” They’ll definitely send their trusted aides to hold down the Fort in raging tide city.”
“Then I can’t possibly have nothing, right?” Qiu Wu said.
“The Tianfeng Island is still yours,” the Wu state’s Messenger said.
“This heavenwind Island was mine to begin with,” said Qiu Wu, trembling.
I will also give you hope Cliff Island, ” the Wu State Messenger said. after the Jin family is destroyed, we can’t keep the gold Mountain Island and hope Cliff Island.
“But, the gold Mountain Island and the gazing Cliff Island are the lands of the State of Yue. They are too close to the mainland of the State of Yue,” Qiu Wu said.
“Do you think ning yuanxian still has time to care about looking Cliff Island and Jinshan island after the defeat of Yue State?” the messenger of Wu State sneered. Moreover, our Wu Army will be in raging tide city by then. Would ning yuanxian dare to send his Navy to attack you?”
“Is there any more?” Qiu Wu asked.
“City Master Chou Wu, don’t be too greedy,” said the Wu state’s envoy.
“Can you give me a noble title?” Qiu Wu licked his lips.
The envoy of Wu State was startled. You, a pirate leader, drool so much for the title of nobility?
He was indeed drooling.
The last time Zhang Chunhua had come to persuade him, it was a Marquis of the raging tide who had hooked him.
Of course, in the end, they lost the raging tide city, and the so-called Duke of raging tide was left unsettled.
However, for someone as uncultured as Qiu Hao, his desire to become a noble was even greater.
“There is a noble title prepared for you,” the Wu state’s emissary said with a reserved smile.
“What title?” Qiu Wu asked.
“In this battle to take over raging tide city, all of the Jin clan’s forces on the sea will be handed over to the city Lord Qiu Wu.” If you can become an Archduke, my King is willing to make you the Earl of Tianfeng.”
Qiu Wu closed his eyes.
His body began to heat up.
I don’t have any other choice, do I?
I will definitely not be able to stop the two huge ships of the Wu country and the hidden origins sect.
Gritting his teeth, Qiu Wu bowed and said, ” “I am willing to pledge my loyalty to Your Majesty.”
“Qiu Hao! receive the Imperial edict!! The envoy of Wu State stood up and said!
Qiu Wu knelt down.
“I hereby confer Qiu Hao the title of Wu country’s Tianfeng city Lord and sea-guarding general!”
Qiu Wu kowtowed. thank you for your Majesty’s kindness. I will repay you with my life!
The envoy of Wu State was overjoyed.
Jin Zhuo was dead, and Qiu Wu had pledged his loyalty.
Destroying the Jin clan and taking over rage tide city was already half done.
Now that everything was ready, the east wind had arrived.
The great task was completed, and the day was right!
Our Wu country will have another County. Moreover, it’s like a nail that has been ruthlessly nailed to the stomach of Yue country.
The Wu state’s envoy said, ” sea-guarding general, make preparations. The Wu state’s Army will head south in a few days. They will gather and recuperate in your Tianfeng city. Then, tens of thousands of our Army will destroy the Jin family, take over the raging tide city, and take over the Leizhou archipelago!
“I will prepare everything to welcome the emperor’s Army to the South!” Qiu Wu said loudly.
....................................
White Night Commandery Princess city.
Su Quan was really going crazy!
When he led the Army to the White Night Commandery princess’s city.
He saw a huge flag hanging on the city wall.
Looking at the people on the city wall, weren’t they Shen lang and Zhang Yan?
Zhang Ji’s Army was densely packed on the city wall.
Looking at the situation in front of him, his eyes were about to crack.
Zhang Ye, that old thief?
Wasn’t he already dead? Why was he alive and well, and even took down White Night Commandery Princess city?
Did he know how to fly?
They had just entered the city last night, and they had taken over the entire city in one night?
Did Xiao Wuchang and the others eat shit?
The entire White Night County’s government and Garrison were the SU clan’s dogs.
Zhang Ye was only one person, yet he still managed to turn the tables?
How did he do it?
............
What was even more frightening was what su Quan was going to do next?
His 10,000 soldiers surrounded Shen Lang’s 20000 rebels and did not destroy them?
Why was this so?
This was a sheep-herding strategy.
There were too many rioters. If they attacked rashly, they would probably flee in all directions.
That was why they had to chase him into the sheepfold so that not a single sheep could escape.
Furthermore, he had to execute his Lord’s plan of killing three birds with one stone.
Not only would he kill all the mobs and take back all the gold coins, but he would also take the opportunity to take down White Night Commandery Princess.
Of course, su Nan also had an unspeakable idea, which was to let this group of rioters rush into white Night Commandery Princess city and plunder wantonly.
Then it would really be the merchants who fell and were unable to eat their fill.
Moreover, when su Nan’s Army killed these rioters, the people of White Night Prefecture had to be grateful to him and welcome su Nan’s Army into the city as if they were welcoming their Savior.
But who knew how things had turned out this way?
According to su ‘er’s report, Zhang Ji was already dead. How could he still be alive?
The current situation was already in chaos and on the verge of collapse.
The 20,000 explosive citizens did not enter the sheepfold.
After these explosive citizens were released into the white night County, Xiao Wuchang and three thousand-man troops were stationed in the city. Outside, there were more than ten thousand of his troops. With the two troops working together, it was easy to catch the turtles in the jar.
Shen lang and the 20000 + explosive citizens could not escape even if they had wings.
But now, these 20000 + explosive citizens were like a frightened beast group, frantically fleeing in all directions.
How could they catch him in the middle of the night?
The most important thing was that Zhang Ji’s Army was on the city wall.
If his Army got too close to the city walls, Zhang Lin’s Army would shoot arrows.
However, these 20000 Raiders were like headless flies, fleeing in all directions like frightened sheep.
Some people would often directly bump into su Quan’s Army.
In just a short while, many of them were killed by su Quan’s Army.
run! Shen lang shouted from the city wall, ” you bunch of idiots! Run away!
Shen lang was too weak.
Dumb was like a loudspeaker, shouting, ” “You bunch of fools, run along the city walls.”
The ten thousand plus looters were immediately awoken.
Then, they followed the foot of the city wall and fled in two directions.
Su Quan’s heart was truly bleeding.
How many gold coins had the 20000 + mobs plundered? It was an astronomical figure.
Originally, concubine su wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but what she needed most for the next rebellion was money.
Now that the majority of the loot was taken away by Shen lang and Zhang Yan, the rest of them were still running away.
In su Quan’s eyes, these rioters who escaped were not humans at all, but piles of gold coins.
His su clan’s money just ran away like that.
Su Quan immediately roared, ” block them! Block them! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Immediately, the three-eyed evil’s mounted bandits dashed out.
Split into two groups to block these Raiders.
“Shoot, kill, kill!”
Following su Quan’s order.
The arrows of the Army behind him rained down.
However, they did not shoot at the city walls, but at the Raider who was running away.
Instantly, countless people fell to the ground and died tragically.
Under the night sky, the blood Qi soared to the sky.
This was what Shen lang had said-fate was fair.
you guys snatched money that you can’t earn in your lifetime, so you should exchange it with your lives.
If they managed to escape, they would be able to live a good life and live a comfortable life for more than ten years. It would be enough for them to get married and have children.
But if they couldn’t escape, they would die Here.
In that case, don’t blame the heavens.
Of course, what if you want to curse Shen lang?
Please help yourself!
I, Shen lang, am a vicious person. I came to Tianxi province for revenge and to destroy the SU clan.
It’s not like I’m going to be King, so I don’t need to buy people’s hearts.
Su Quan madly slaughtered the group of looters.
He looked at Shen lang who was on the city wall.
This person’s viciousness was truly hair-raising.
You’re obviously weak, but you’re even more ruthless than me when it comes to killing people.
From then on, when the entire White Night Prefecture mentioned Shen lang, their reputation would be extremely different.
Some of them were grateful because Shen lang had changed their fate. Some of the honest people left the robbing team uneasily after they got enough money. They escaped to the countryside and prepared to live a peaceful life.
On the other hand, some people would hate Shen lang to the core and would curse him day and night.
This was because this group of people had died under Shen Lang’s vicious plan.
There was a saying that a General’s success would result in ten thousand bones dying. Shen lang, before you succeeded, there were already more than ten thousand corpses.
However, Shen lang, don’t be smug!
Your death has arrived!
You might not know this, but the Grandmaster of Chu, ban RUO, has left the mountain.
Itinerant monk suffering also brought over a dozen experts. Including me, su Quan, we already have three top-notch experts.
Su Quan said, ” master ban RUO, master misery, we’ll use our top-tier martial strength to kill Shen lang and Zhang Ye. We must kill them in one strike!
“I’m not an assassin. I only know that my enemy is li qianqiu,” said ban RUO, the Grandmaster of Chu.
“Alright, I’ll hand li qianqiu over to master ban RUO.” Leave Zhang sa to master of suffering, and leave Shen lang and dumb to me. ”
“No problem!”
“We must kill him in one strike!”
After that, su Quan, TOU tuo of the bitter sea, and Grandmaster ban RUO, the three top experts, gathered all the true Qi in their bodies.
“Kill!”
The three of them were like lightning as they climbed up the city wall.
Behind them, dozens of experts were also climbing up the wall.
Shen lang, you little thief! Die!
“Zhang Ye, you old thief, die!”
Su Quan, itinerant monk suffering, and Grandmaster ban RUO’s sharp swords suddenly stabbed toward their respective targets.
The speed was extremely fast!
Top experts had to be killed in one strike.
If he missed the opportunity, there would be no second chance!
Grandmaster ban RUO versus Sword King Li qianqiu.
One sword to decide the outcome!
Grandmaster ban RUO staggered backward after losing by half a move.
This was all part of su Quan’s plan.
Grandmaster ban RUO’s role wasn’t to defeat the sword King Li qianqiu, but to hold him back and prevent him from saving Zhang Ji.
It would be easy for the itinerant monk to kill Zhang Ji.
It would be easy for su Quan to kill Shen lang. Dumb was indeed heaven-defying, but he was not fast enough. He could block Su jianyan, but he could not block Su Quan.
Compared to su Nan, su Quan’s martial arts were only slightly inferior.
However!
What happened next was completely beyond his imagination.
Itinerant monk suffering was going to kill Zhang Ji, but it was a completely unfamiliar, ugly middle-aged man who rushed up to fight him.
Who, who was he?
His martial arts had reached such a high level that he was only a step away from becoming a Grandmaster.
However, itinerant monk suffering was also at this level.
This ugly middle-aged man was, of course, Zuo CI’s junior Sister, eldest Princess ning Jie.
Ding! Ding!
Dhuta Kingkong and eldest Princess ning Jie crossed their swords.
A spark burst out in the air.
Eldest Princess ning Jie retreated half a step, and itinerant monk suffering also staggered half a step.
These two people’s martial arts were indeed on par.
Su Quan’s target was Shen lang.
However, if he wanted to kill Shen lang, he had to break through dumb’s defense first.
And dumb was best at blocking swords!
Other than Zhong chuke and Li qianqiu’s swords, no one had been able to break through dumb’s defense!
Shen lang, you little thief, die! Die! Su Quan roared in his heart.
The sharp sword in his hand was extremely fast, and he stabbed at Shen lang!
Dumb rushed forward and waved the black iron rod in his hand.
“I’ll block, I’ll block, I’ll block!”
However!
Dumb only managed to block one attack.
Su Quan was too powerful, and his sword was too fast.
Dumb couldn’t block 2nd sword!
“I’m finally going to kill this little thief!” Su Quan was overjoyed.
The sharp sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake as he aimed at Shen Lang’s neck.
Shen lang would definitely die if he was stabbed.
However, in the next instant!
A figure rushed forward and stood in front of Shen lang.
Zhang Ye drew his sword!
Su Quan was shocked. Why was Zhang Ji here? Shouldn’t he be killed by itinerant monk suffering?
Ding! Ding!
Zhang Ji and su Quan’s swords clashed.
Su Quan’s sword swept away Zhang Ji’s sword and suddenly slashed into his chest.
Blood spurted out.
At this moment, dumb’s iron rod smashed over!
“Bang!”
Su Quan hurriedly raised his sword to block.
Then, he was sent flying and fell from the top of the city wall.
