The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 224 The war breaks out
Let us say that Feng Ziying led his brothers to blockade various intersections in the south of Yangzhou City, and even checkpoints were set up on the canal. Ships upstream and downstream were temporarily prohibited from entering, and ships leaving must be inspected. Anyone suspicious would be arrested immediately. , a morning passed, and a lot of criminals were caught, but most of them were foreigners who had no roads and were working illegally at the Yangzhou dock, or they were hooligans and the like.

At this time, Kang Dayong, Jinya Gou and others were mixed in the crowd and lined up to pass an intersection.The intersection here is about one mile away from the city gate and is an important traffic route to Taizhou. About thirty soldiers from Yunti Pass Qianhu Station set up a jam here for questioning.

Kang Dayong was originally a very brave and ruthless person. When he was at home, he often accidentally injured and killed his servants. Since he went to sea and became a pirate, he has become even more unscrupulous and lawless. He has become more and more murderous. Now he is facing dozens of people. The guard soldier at Sheka was not nervous at all. He counted calmly and found two musketeers and four cavalry, so he secretly ordered Gold Tooth Dog and others to wait for an opportunity to seize the horses and escape.

The gold-toothed dog was obviously someone who had gone through big storms, and was very calm. On the other hand, brothers Li Hongji and Kang Dayi, the third son of the Kang family, looked much more nervous.

"Third brother, if you want to survive, be smart and follow me later!" Kang Dayong patted Kang Dayi's shoulder and whispered.

Kang Dayi nodded nervously and regretted coming to Yangzhou this time. He had already gone to sea with his account book, but he couldn't bear the living conditions on the island. He also heard that his father would be taken to the Jinling Criminal Department, and he was expected to be exonerated soon. He was released, so he followed his second brother Kang Dayong back to Yangzhou this time. Unexpectedly, he witnessed the assassination of his father and eldest brother Kang Dazhi. In grief and anger, he tried to escape, but it was already too late. Every intersection he left was blocked by officers and soldiers. blockade.

Let's talk about Kang Dayong and others walking forward with the team. After about a while, it was finally their turn. The golden-toothed dog was in front, bowed his head, and said with a smile: "Hail, military master!"

The foreman, Xiao Qi, looked up and down at the golden-toothed dog and asked, "Where are you from? What's your name? What are you doing in the city?"

The golden-toothed dog smiled and said: "The younger one's name is Jin A Bing. He is from the village ahead. He went to the city to sell firewood. Unexpectedly, the road was blocked just after leaving the city." He patted a pole he picked up on his shoulder. .

"Don't be careless, which village is ahead? Let's make it clear!" Xiao Qi asked sternly.

The golden-toothed dog pointed forward and said nonsensically: "It's the... Taiping Village in front of us."

Xiaoqi frowned and turned to ask a local salt soldier next to him: "Is there a village ahead called Taiping Village?"

The salt soldier shook his head in confusion and said, "I've never heard of it."

The golden-toothed dog rolled his eyes, pointed forward on tiptoes and said, "How come you haven't heard of it? Taiping Village is over there... ah, it's on top of your Tianling Cap."

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden-toothed dog swung the pole on Xiao Qi's forehead very insidiously. The latter fell to the ground silently on the spot, without even having time to scream, and Kang Dayong behind him also took action at this time, snap. He kicked the salt soldier in the chest, and heard a cracking sound. The salt soldier's chest collapsed from the kick. He spat out a mouthful of blood with internal organs, and knocked over another man behind him. Musketeers.

Kang Dayong kicked one person away, then picked up the waist knife on the ground like lightning, swung out a sharp sword light, and killed another musketeer, fast and hard.

At the same time, brothers Li Hongji and Li Hongyi also took action. They knocked over two soldiers by surprise, took the weapons in their hands, and killed them with a sword. The remaining soldiers finally reacted, and a cavalryman roared and raised his sword. Just cut it.

"Here!" Kang Dayong shouted, and threw the waist knife in his hand as a hidden weapon. However, with a swish of cold light, it hit the cavalryman's lower abdomen with lightning speed, and passed through the abdomen instantly. The huge force was still The strength of his arm was astonishing when he led the cavalry flying around, definitely not weaker than Tie Hu's.

Kang Dayong took advantage of the situation and flew up on his horse. He reined in the horse and rushed towards the soldiers. The guardsmen's fighting ability was not very good, but they were suddenly attacked by the enemy and killed several people. Seeing that Kang Dayong was so unstoppable, they were frightened. Out of courage, they all fled.

Kang Dayong laughed ferociously and took the opportunity to charge forward with his horse, killing several people in a row. The remaining soldiers of the guard station immediately dispersed, and the people who lined up were so frightened that they all ran away.

The gold-toothed dog snatched a horse and said with a smile: "A bunch of chickens and tile-dogs are not enough for you to stuff the knife between your teeth. Let's go quickly. The reinforcements from the officers and soldiers will arrive later." After saying that, he rode away first.

Kang Dayong was ready to kill, and he chased two more people before giving up. Seeing his brother Kang Dayi still standing there at a loss, he couldn't help but cursed a piece of trash, turned his horse's head, picked up Kang Dayi, and then quickly fled away without forgetting. He reprimanded: "I asked you to practice martial arts before, but you refused to study martial arts. You insisted on reading so many books. You couldn't study. If you can't learn martial arts, you are a useless person." Kang Dayi did not dare to refute, but was ashamed.

Li Hongji also grabbed a horse and rode with his cousin Li Hongyi. They followed closely behind Jinya Gou and Kang Dayong and fled in a hurry towards Taizhou.

When Feng Ziying heard that someone was crossing the road, he immediately led his cavalry to support him. Unfortunately, he had already fled far away, leaving only seven or eight corpses of his brothers at the intersection. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and followed the hoof prints all the way to pursue him. Unfortunately, he caught up to the nearest It was dark and I didn't catch up, so I could only return in frustration.

However, Feng Ziying did not find anything. After questioning the witnesses, she learned that among the five people who broke through, one of them seemed to be the missing third son of the Kang family, Kang Dayi. Some even recognized that the leading man seemed to be the Kang family who was drowned at sea in the early years. Second Young Master Kang Dayong, this just confirms the information revealed by the servant of Kang Mansion named Qian Si.

It is said that Kang Dayong and others fled non-stop to Taizhou, then turned south and fled to the Yangtze River in Taixing County. After contacting the boats, they went down the river and out to sea.

It was already late April, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse. Kang Dayong was sitting shirtless on the bow of the boat, sharpening his knife time and time again. His cold eyes and distorted face made even Brother Li Hongji unable to help but feel frightened and confused. Why does this person look so miserable? The Third Young Master Kang has just died and his father and brother are not like him.

It turns out that Kang Dayong did a good job of keeping secret. Not many people on Dulong Island knew that he was Kang Dayong, the second son of Kangling City. Even the golden-toothed dog and the poisonous scholar Shen Guan didn't know. They only knew that he was nicknamed "Yidao". The people below They all call him Third Master or Dao Master.

Kang Dayong was always brave and bloodthirsty. Today, he saw his father and brother being killed with his own eyes. He was not willing to let it go. Therefore, the hatred he was filled with at this moment could only be vented by sharpening the knife.

"Second brother, father and eldest brother must be those guys who are looking for someone to silence them. Since they are unkind, we don't blame us for being unjust. How about we give this account book to Lin Ruhai and let them all die a good death!" Kang Dayihong He said with eyes as he took out the account book that his father Kang Lingcheng had given him that day from his arms.

Brothers Jinya Gou and Li Hongji both looked at Kang Dayong in astonishment.

The reason why Kang Dayong kept hiding his identity was just because he was worried that his family would be harmed. Now that his father and brother are dead, he naturally has no scruples anymore, so he said in a ferocious voice: "No, that would be too advantageous for them. I have to kill them with my own hands before they can be eliminated." Hatred in my heart.”

Kang Dayi said in astonishment: "How to kill them? They are powerful. Even if they cross rivers, demolish bridges, kill people and silence them, there is nothing we can do to them."

Kang Dayong said with a cruel smile: "They are powerful. I also have ships and cannons. Some people have guns. Let's see how powerful they are. I still have strong ships and cannons!"

Kang Dayong said, staring at the gold-toothed dog with his blood-red eyes: "Old Jiu, I'm not afraid to tell you. In fact, I am Kang Dayong, the second son of Kang Lingcheng. For the sake of safety, the head of the family allowed me to hide my name. Now the Kang family has been raided. Well, my father and brother were also killed by the dog officer, so I no longer have to hide him.

Those dog officials are usually more greedy than the last when sharing benefits, but now they killed my father and brother to silence me when something happened, leaving the Kang family to take the blame. I can't bear this tone. "

The golden-toothed dog was a little frightened by Kang Dayong's pair of bloody eyes. He patted his chest and said, "How do you want to take revenge? My golden-toothed dog will help you."

Hearing this, Kang Dayong patted the gold-toothed dog on the shoulder and said: "Good brother, let's go back and gather the troops. First, we will take a county to serve as food and drink, and show it to the dog officials."

The golden-toothed dog didn't think anything of it. He just thought that Kang Dayong wanted to burn, kill, loot, and let off steam, so he patted his chest and said, "No problem, this time I'll pick a fat county and do it hard, and then rob dozens of yellow girls." Go back and be happy.”

At that moment, Kang Dayong and others took a boat out to sea and returned to Dulong Island to gather their troops. A few days later, dozens of large ships carrying thousands of pirates and Japanese bandits headed straight for Haimen County under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Prefecture.
