Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 486: One stone falls and the world is shocked
"Boom—"

While the officers and soldiers were fighting with the Liangshan bandits, a loud noise suddenly came from the stern of the ship.

All the Liangshan bandits were stunned for a moment.

Yue Fei sneered, knowing that his arrangement was effective, so he shot out his spear like a dragon, piercing the chest of the enemy in front of him, and then shouted:
"You have been ambushed, why don't you surrender quickly!"

As the words spread, the morale of the surrounding officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and they followed Yue Fei in shouting, "You have been fooled."

It turned out that the small boat that Yue Fei arranged to evacuate was not actually filled with women, children and property, but the Fang La bandits who were extremely thin from hunger and were forced to wear women's clothes, as well as boxes of gunpowder stuffed with gravel.

The real women and children were all hidden in the cabin, protected by a team of officers and soldiers led by Lu Hongti.

Liangshanbo's 'Shenji Military Advisor' Zhu Wu originally wanted to take care of Xi Junyu because of his low martial arts skills, so he gave him the task of chasing women, children and property, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually fall into the trap.

When Xi Junyu led more than ten boats to catch up with the boat, all the officers and soldiers on board jumped into the river.

Lu Hong, who stayed at the stern of the boat, raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and fired a rocket from the stern window, igniting the flammable objects on the boat.

In an instant, the gunpowder exploded violently, and the rubble mixed in it shot out, turning Xi Junyu and the Liangshan bandits who stepped on the ship into charred sieves.

The Liangshan bandits were already being beaten back steadily by the officers and soldiers. When they heard the shouts of the officers and soldiers, their morale suddenly became even lower.

After a bloody battle, the Liangshan bandits who boarded the building boat were killed by Ye ZiXun and Yue Fei with their officers and soldiers.

Eight of the one hundred and eight named Liangshan generals died on the ship, and three more were shot dead by Ning Yi. The remaining people retreated with reluctance under the leadership of Shenji military advisor Zhu Wu.

……

……

After cleaning, the deck was still filled with a strong smell of blood.

Ning Yi held a platinum-colored M1911 and stood at the stern of the ship, watching the seven or eight ships sailing away in the distance.

Ye Zixun and Lu Hongti came from behind and asked with a smile: "Why don't you let me keep them all?"

Ning Yi glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Although Liangshan is quite powerful, they are bandits after all. By themselves, they will never be able to obtain the official ship's itinerary and the information on secretly escorting the Fang La bandits."

"Unless someone in the DPRK colludes with it..."

Having said this, Ning Yi paused, then smiled and said: "Liangshan Mountain is full of lawless desperadoes. This time they were defeated by Yue Fei. They will most likely not dare to seek revenge from the officers and soldiers."

"Although the Su family and I are a bit dangerous, we shouldn't be their first targets..."

Ye Zixun said thoughtfully: "Do you want to let them go back and let them take revenge on the person who provided the intelligence behind them?"

Ning Yi smiled and said: "This is the most ideal situation... The real situation is most likely that they don't dare to take action against the people behind them, but even if they don't dare, they still have to talk about what should be discussed."

"Whether they want benefits or complain about incorrect intelligence, they definitely want to meet the person behind it."

"...That makes sense!" Ye Zixun nodded, then glanced at the silent Liangshan prisoners on the deck and said, "But we have captured so many Liangshan bandits, why don't we just interrogate them?"

Ning Yi said helplessly: "The one hundred and eight famous Liangshan generals were basically beaten to death by you and me, and the rest are just a group of pawns. What can they know?"

"Mr. Ning's words are wrong!"

Yue Fei's slightly smiling voice came from behind.

The three of them turned around and immediately saw the young general walking over, looking very good.

"Mr. Ning, Miss Lu, Grandmaster Ye!"

Yue Fei bowed his hands to the three of them, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, the Liangshan bandits who boarded the ship are indeed only minor characters, but among the water ghosts that Grandmaster Ye caught before, there was a big fish!"

"Oh?"

Ning Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at Ye Zixun and Lu Hongti, and then followed Yue Fei into the cabin.

Soon, Yue Fei opened the door and walked into the room first.

Ning Yi and Ye Zixun followed closely, and soon they saw the man trapped on the load-bearing pillar.

The man's expression was numb, his upper body was naked, and there were still scars on his body from where the silver wire had fallen.

Seeing everyone walking into the room, the man looked up at them, sneered, and turned his head, seemingly not very cooperative.

"Mr. Ning, please look, this is Zhang Shun, the 'Langli Baitiao'. I heard that his underwater skills are extremely good. Even if ordinary martial arts masters are more powerful than him, they will never be his opponent underwater..."

Yue Fei smiled and said: "To be honest, I didn't know the identity of this person at first. It was the Liangshan bandits who boarded the ship who saw this person and called out his name. Only then did I know that Grandmaster Ye had arrested someone." Big fish.”

"Is it a big fish?" Ye Zixun looked at him and shook his head, "It's nothing more than that."

"..."

Zhang Shun heard his sarcasm and turned to glare at Ye Zixun.

Ye Zixun raised his eyebrows: "What, you want to fight with me?"

Saying that, Ye Zixun turned to look at Yue Fei: "Xiao Yuezi, let him go. I think he seems a little unconvinced."

Yue Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ye is joking..." Zhang Shun sneered: "'Thunder Thunder' Ye Zixun, you Tiannan Three Heroes were originally the leaders of the Tiannan Wulin, a hero like 'Holy Duke' Fang La. But a certain family really didn’t expect that the dignified Three Heroes of Tiannan, a martial arts master-like figure, would actually become a court hawk, working for the corrupt officials of the court - bah, a certain family despises it!"

Zhang Shun spat and looked at Ye Zixun with disdain.

"Hey, little guy, you have quite a temper!"

Ye Zixun was happy, rolling up his sleeves and yelling at Yue Fei to let him go so that he could fight him for three hundred rounds.

Yue Fei stopped him with a bitter smile, and after some hard talking, he finally persuaded Ye Zixun to leave the room, leaving only Ning Yi and Lu Hongti in the room.

After closing the door, Yue Fei and Ye Zixun quickly stepped forward and pressed against the door, listening curiously to what was going on inside.

It's a pity that Mr. Ning, who is full of wisdom and scheming, did not use any amazing means to interrogate Zhang Shun. He just chatted with him casually for a few words as if in casual conversation, and then threatened Zhang Shun with the so-called friendship of the Liangshan hero.

Basically, if Zhang Shun didn't tell the truth, he would kill all the Liangshan prisoners on the ship.

This method does seem a bit low-end when dealing with people like Zhang Shun.

Seeing that Zhang Shun didn't speak, Ning Yi nodded, said nothing, and led Lu Hongti out of the room.

"Mr. Ning."

Yue Fei cupped his hands, and then asked quickly: "What should we do now? Just keep him like this?"

Ning Yi smiled and said: "Find the darkest, most humid, and cramped room, put him in it, prepare food for seven days, then clear all the surrounding rooms, and strictly prohibit anyone from having any conversation with him. "

"When we get to Jiangning Pier, don't release him. Let's lock him up for a few days and see how it goes."

...Is that all right?
Yue Fei was confused, but he still agreed.

After he left, Ye Zixun looked at Ning Yi with a strange expression.

"Brother, why don't you be so ruthless and even close a small dark room, or the one at the bottom of the cabin with bumps? Aren't you afraid that this sensory deprivation experiment will cause his spirit to collapse and he will not be able to ask anything?"

"So enough is enough..."

Ning Yi turned his head and looked at Zhang Shun who was still clueless in the room through the window, and said with a smile: "Heroes, they are all tough guys, there should be no problem if they can last for seven days..."

Ye Zixun turned to look at Zhang Shun and shook his head: "Xuan."

Lu Hongti stood aside and looked at the two people in front of him silently.

To be honest, like Yue Fei, she didn't know the meaning of doing this, but looking at Ning Yi and Ye Zixun, they seemed to agree that this was an extremely inhumane interrogation method.

...Is it so mysterious?
Lu Hongti murmured in his heart, wondering if he could give it a try after returning to Luliang Mountain.

……

……

That evening, the ship entered Jiangning and docked at the pier.

Jiangning is still the lively scene of the past, with people coming and going on the pier.

Ning Yi and Ye Zixun said goodbye to Lu Hongti, and then, together with Su Tan'er and others, found the nearby Su family warehouse and planned to pick up a carriage from here to take the pregnant Su Tan'er back.

When the shopkeeper at the dock saw Su Tan'er and Ning Yi, his face was filled with excitement.

Before they could ask about the current situation of the Su family with a smile, an old man in Chinese clothes came from behind.

"...Mr. Kang, why is it you?"

Ning Yi looked at the old man with some surprise, and Ye Zixun also looked at him curiously.

If he guessed correctly, this old man was Kang Xian, the consort of Princess Chengguo. It was he who played chess with Qin Siyuan on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Jiangning City, and thus got acquainted with the amazing chess player Ning Yi.

Among the many important figures in the Wu Dynasty, the Prince Consort and his Right Chancellor Qin Siyuan admired Ning Yi the most and had the best relationship with him.

Seeing Ning Yi hand over to him, Kang Xian smiled: "I originally planned to wait for you to return home before inviting you to my house as a guest, but after hearing about what happened on the ship, I hurried over to see you..."

Ning Yi smiled and said: "Mr. Kang is well-informed. This ship has just docked, and you have already heard about it?"

Kang Xian laughed, shook his head and said: "You brat, you still doubt me... Forget it, I'm not afraid to tell you that this Secret Investigation Department is actually me and Lao Qin... we old guys It was established under Princess Chengguo’s residence and is in charge of Jiangning’s Secret Investigation Department. You also have people from my Secret Investigation Department on board, do you want to guess who it is?”

Ye Zixun raised his hands and said: "It's not me anyway!"

Kang Xian glanced at him and said thoughtfully: "This should be Ye Zixun, one of the Three Heroes of Tiannan, Grandmaster Ye, right?"

Ye Zixun smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Kang, you are polite, but he only knows a few tricks of the crop, which is insignificant, insignificant..."

Kang Xian shook his head: "Master Ye is being humble... The legend that three people defeated a thousand soldiers in Hangzhou City has been spread. Although people in the world dismiss it on the surface and think it is an exaggeration, in fact..."

Kang Xian paused, then smiled and said: "After your two brothers disappeared in Huzhou, people from all walks of life were inquiring about them. The protective forces around all the nobles in the Southeast Road were strengthened. It can be said that one stone fell, and the world shock."

"I am so envious!"
