The Leizhou Archipelago had a total area of about 10,000 square kilometers.
Leizhou Island, where the Raging Tide City was located, took up about half of it. At the moment, it was already occupied by the Kim family. The Heavenly Dao Society, together with the Kim family, had migrated tens of thousands of people to Leizhou in the past half a year.
As for the other half of the Leizhou Archipelago, it had fallen into the hands of Zhang Chong.
After Zhang Chong left Nujiang Prefecture, the remaining half of the Leizhou Archipelago was split into two. One half was ruled by Chou Hou, while the other half was handed over to Nujiang Prefecture's garrison.
The Monarch conferred the title of Nu Tiao City Lord to Jin Shiying, and conferred the title of Tian Feng City Lord to Qiu Ao.
As the adopted son of the Pirate King Chou Tianwei, not only did Chou Hou survive the war, but he also became the Castellan, all because of Zhang Chong.
He had made up his mind to follow Zhang Chong and let him be his backer in the officialdom.
However, he didn't expect Zhang Chong to fall so quickly and be imprisoned by the Monarch.
Chou Hao would lose his backing.
But it didn't matter. Soon, the Third Prince and the Crown Prince's men came knocking.
After all, Chou Hou used to be a pirate. After mourning for Zhang Chong and his Excellency for three minutes, he decisively switched sides and sided with the Crown Prince.
It was really cool under a big tree.
Once he joined the Crown Prince's side, he would receive an endless stream of benefits.
Chou Hao took the opportunity to expand.
Originally, there were only 3000 pirates left under his command. Now, it immediately expanded to more than 5000.
No money to build a ship?
The Yin Yuan Association immediately borrowed money, and new ships were built one after another.
However, the time required to build a ship was too long. It would take about a year before his fleet could travel across the sea again.
He only had one mission so far.
Keep an eye on the Kim family. Keep an eye on Raging Tide City.
Restraining and suppressing!
However, good times didn't last long. About a month ago, Chou Hao's money was cut off and he had no money.
He didn't collect any taxes in Skywind City, and all of his trade was in Raging Tide City.
The entire Heavenly Wind Island had no other profits except for a large shipbuilding yard.
The key was that the shipyard was a gold-devouring behemoth. It only ate money, not spat it out.
Previously, when they were rich, Chou Howl continued to expand and expand its army.
But once the money supply was cut off, it would be troublesome. They would not even be able to pay the soldiers' salaries.
His subordinates were all pirates. They were not allowed to plunder, nor were they paid. How could this work?
If they did not pay, even if the Heavenly King came, it would be useless. Even the Pirate King Chou Tianwei would not be able to suppress him, let alone Chou Hao.
His brothers were about to rebel.
Skywind City Lord Qiu Hao was burning with anxiety. He desperately tried to contact Zhuo Zhaoyan and the Yinyuan Association to ask for money.
However, at that moment, the Crown Prince and Yin Yuanhui seemed to have completely disappeared. They completely ignored him.
He made up his mind and went to find the Third Prince.
He thought that the Third Prince's faction would happily accept him.
But unexpectedly, the Third Prince's faction was also very cold.
What should he do?
I can't go and join the Kim family, can I?
Not to mention!
If Chou Hou was really forced into a corner, he would really go to the Marquis Xuanwu's residence.
He was the leader of the pirates. What couldn't he do?
But at this moment, the Savior appeared with a few chests of gold coins.
The envoy of the Wu Kingdom!
If it were Jin Zhuo, he would definitely not accept even half a gold coin.
But what was Chou Hou afraid of? He accepted it on the spot.
But when it came to the request of the envoy of the Wu Kingdom, he changed the topic.
I, Chou Hou, only accept money. I don't do anything.
It's basically impossible for me to betray the State of Yue.
But recently, the situation had completely changed!
First, the King of Yue and Wu lost the hunting competition at the border.
Then, Su Nan rebelled and led a few hundred people to kill in and out of the capital.
Then, the Chu army approached, and the Wu army went south. The Su and Qiang army united in the west, and the South lost the battle.
The State of Yue seemed to be in danger.
I can't get through this. Even if I manage to get through, I only have half a breath left.
The thigh of Yue State is already not thick enough. Is it time for me to find another thigh?
…
At this moment, the envoy of the Wu Kingdom appeared in front of Chou Hao again.
Where's the money?
Why didn't you bring the gold coins? It's time to pay the soldiers again. How can I pay them without money? If I don't pay them, my brothers will rebel.
"City Lord Chou Hao, have you thought it through?"
Chou Hao refused to give in. He smiled and said, "This is a serious matter. I need to think about it."
The envoy said, "City Lord Chou Hao, you don't know the outside world from Heavenly Wind Island. You don't have time to think about it."
Chou Hao said, "What do you mean?"
The envoy said, "First, Su Nan is about to rebel. The Qiang army is about to attack the State of Yue. Second, the battle between the Wu and Yue Kings is about to start. What do you think the outcome will be? "
Although Chou Hao wasn't a military expert, he knew that the Su and Qiang army would have 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. The State of Yue's West Heaven Province would not be able to stop them.
Once the southern part of West Heaven Province fell, the situation would be shocking.
The Su and Qiang armies could attack Zhong Yao's army from the north, or attack the fragile capital from the west.
No matter what, if the Yue Kings were to care about their heads, he would definitely lose the battle against the Wu Kingdom.
The State of Yue would lose at least a quarter of its territory.
The envoy sneered, "City Lord Chou Hao, you are more important if you join the Wu Kingdom now. If you wait until the Yue Kings are defeated before joining us, you won't be as important. "
That was true.
But to join the Wu Kingdom so rashly?
That would not do.
The envoy said, "There's another important piece of news. Jin Zhuo is dead."
Chou Hao couldn't help but shiver. "He … he's really dead?"
Of course, he had heard the news of Jin Zhuo's death.
He believed it, but he also didn't dare to believe it.
The envoy said, "Bitter Head Joy killed him."
Chou Hao said, "That's not right. Bitter Head Joy only kills those who have committed the most heinous crimes. Although Marquis Jin Zhuo was my enemy, his character is clear for all to see. I, Chou Hao, cannot lie through my teeth. How could Bitter Head Joy kill him?"
The envoy sneered, "Because Bitter Head Joy is a weapon raised by a certain important person in the State of Yue."
Chou Hou was taken aback when he heard this.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.
The envoy said, "City Lord Chou Hao, don't you find it strange? Why did the Crown Prince of the State of Yue suddenly ignore you? The Yin Yuan Association also ignored you? Are they not afraid that you will join Jin Zhuo? "
That's right? Chou Hao couldn't understand this point.
I, Chou Hao, am of great use. Why did the Yin Yuan Association suddenly abandon me?
The envoy said, "Our State of Wu is in a hurry to seize Raging Tide City, but the Yin Yuan Association is even more in a hurry."
Chou Howl knew that.
Previously, when his foster father Pirate King Chou Tianwei was guarding Raging Tide City, the entire trading rights were handed over to the Yin Yuan Association.
When Raging Tide City fell, the Yin Yuan Association suffered the greatest losses.
The envoy said, "I'll be honest with you. The military expenses that we gave you were not given by the State of Wu, but by the Yin Yuan Association through us."
Chou Hao was shocked.
The envoy said, "For this battle, the Yin Yuan Association gave us an astronomical amount of military expenses in advance! One of them is for you, City Lord Chou Hao. It's a very, very large amount. As long as you agree to join us, this money will immediately be yours. "
Chou Hao trembled. "How much?"
The envoy said, "Three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"
Chou Hao's liver trembled. He had never seen so much money before.
This amount of money was enough for him to pay for several years of military expenses.
The envoy said, "In order to seize the entire Leizhou Archipelago, our king is acting with that madman Ning Yuanxian. A decisive battle between the two kings is about to break out soon. In order to seize Raging Tide City, the Yin Yuan Association gave us an advance of more than a million gold coins and even lent that madman Ning Yuanxian an astronomical amount of gold coins. After paying such a huge price, both the State of Wu and the Yin Yuan Association are determined to seize Raging Tide City. City Lord Chou Hao, do you think you can resist this trend? "
The envoy's tone was no longer respectful, but rather threatening.
And Chou Hao was truly frightened.
He wasn't an ambitious and ruthless person like Chou Tianwei.
The Yin Yuan Association and the State of Wu were both super giants. These two giants had paid such a huge price just to seize Raging Tide City.
Could Chou Hao resist?
No!
Chou Hao wouldn't be able to resist these two giant wheels.
Moreover, there were people in the State of Yue secretly cooperating with the State of Wu and directly abandoning Chou Hao.
Moreover, the State of Yue was about to face a calamity.
I, Chou Hao, have no other choice.
In fact, I can't even pay the soldiers' salaries.
Chou Hao said, "If I surrender to the State of Wu, can I become the lord of Raging Tide City?"
The envoy shook his head. "Impossible. The king paid such a huge price to seize Raging Tide City. How can he give it to you? He will definitely send his trusted aides to oversee Raging Tide City. "
Chou Hao said, "But I can't have nothing."
The envoy said, "Sky Wind Island is still yours."
Chou Hao trembled. "Sky Wind Island was originally mine."
The envoy said, "Cliff Island is also yours. After the Kim family is destroyed, Jinshan Island and Cliff Island can no longer be kept."
Chou Hao said, "But Jinshan Island and Cliff Island belong to the State of Yue. They are too close to the mainland of the State of Yue."
The envoy sneered. "After the State of Yue is defeated, do you think Ning Yuanxian will still care about Cliff Island and Jinshan Island? Moreover, when the time comes, our army will be at Raging Tide City. Ning Yuanxian won't dare to send his navy to attack you. "
Chou Hao said, "Anything else?"
The envoy said, "City Lord Chou Hao, don't be too greedy."
Chou Hao licked his lips. "Can you give me a title of nobility?"
The envoy was startled. A pirate like you coveted a title of nobility so much?
Indeed, he coveted it.
The last time Zhang Chunhua came to persuade him, it was because of the Marquis of Raging Tide that he took the bait.
Of course, in the end, Raging Tide City was lost and the title of Marquis of Raging Tide was left unsettled.
But for a person like Chou Hao, he desired to become a noble.
The envoy smiled. "There is a title of nobility prepared for you."
Chou Hao said, "What title of nobility?"
The envoy said, "In this battle to take over Raging Tide City, the Kim family's forces on the sea will be handed over to City Lord Chou Hao. If you can become a Grand Duke, our King is willing to confer you the title of Count of Tianfeng. "
Chou Hao closed his eyes.
His blood started to boil.
I have no other choice, right?
I can't stop the two giants of Wu State and Yin Yuan Association.
Chou Hao gritted his teeth and knelt. "I am willing to pledge my loyalty to King Wu."
The envoy stood up. "Chou Hao, receive the decree!"
Chou Hao knelt down.
"I confer Chou Hao the title of Lord of Tianfeng City and General of the Sea!"
Chou Hao kowtowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will sacrifice my life to repay you!"
The envoy was overjoyed.
Jin Zhuo was dead, and Chou Hao had pledged his loyalty.
His plan to destroy the Kim clan and take over Raging Tide City was already half a success.
Now that everything was ready, the east wind was coming.
The day of success was just around the corner!
Another prefecture was about to appear in Wu State, and it was like a nail hammered into the belly of the State of Yue.
The envoy said, "General of the Sea, be prepared. In a few days, the army of Wu State will move south and gather at Tianfeng City to rest and reorganize. Then, tens of thousands of troops will move out to destroy the Kim clan, take over Raging Tide City, and take over the Leizhou Archipelago!"
Chou Hao said loudly, "I will prepare everything to welcome the King's army south!"
… …
White Night City.
Su Quan was really going crazy!
When he led the army to the city of Princess White Night.
He saw a huge flag hanging on the city wall.
Then he looked at the people on the city wall. Wasn't it Shen Lang and Zhang Chong?
Then he looked at the city wall. It was densely packed with Zhang Chong's troops.
Looking at the situation in front of him, his eyes were about to pop.
Zhang Chong, that old thief?
Wasn't he dead? Why was he alive and well, and even took over White Night City?
Was he able to fly?
He just entered the city last night and took over the whole city in one night?
Did Xiao Wuchang and the others eat sh * t?
The entire White Night City government and garrison were all lackeys raised by the Su clan.
Zhang Chong was only one person, and he still managed to turn the tables?
How did he do it?
…
What's more, what should Su Quan do next?
His more than 10,000 troops had been besieging Shen Lang's more than 20,000 mobs, but they still couldn't be destroyed?
Why was this?
This was a sheep herding strategy.
There were too many mobs. If he attacked rashly, he was afraid that they would scatter in all directions.
So he needed to drive them into the sheep pen, so that not a single sheep could escape.
And he had to carry out the Lord's plan of killing three birds with one stone.
Not only would he kill these mobs and take back all the gold coins, but he would also take the opportunity to take over White Night City.
Of course, Su Nan also had an unspeakable idea, that was to let this group of mobs rush into White Night City and plunder.
Then it would really be a businessman falling and Su Nan eating his fill.
Moreover, when Su Nan's army killed these mobs, the people of White Night City would be grateful to him and welcome his army into the city as if they were welcoming their savior.
But who knew how the situation turned out like this?
According to Su'Er's report, Zhang Chong was already dead.
Last night, Zhang Chong only brought one follower to the banquet, and there were dozens of experts from the Su clan lying in ambush in the Snow Mountain Tower.
He should have died, so why was he still alive?
The situation was already in chaos and was on the verge of collapse.
Nearly 20,000 mobs did not enter the sheep pen.
After letting this group of mobs into White Night City, Xiao Wuchang and three Qianhu troops were stationed in the city, and his more than 10,000 troops were stationed outside. With the two armies working together, it would be easy to catch them.
The little bastard Shen Lang and the 20,000 mobs would not be able to escape even if they had wings.
Now, these 20,000 mobs were like a frightened herd of beasts, frantically fleeing in all directions.
How could they catch them in the middle of the night?
Most importantly, Zhang Chong's army was on the city wall.
If his army was too close to the city wall, Zhang Chong's army would shoot arrows.
However, these 20,000 mobs were really like headless flies, they were really like a frightened flock of sheep, fleeing in all directions.
Some of them directly ran into Su Quan's army.
In just a moment, many of them were killed by Su Quan's army.
Shen Lang shouted from the city wall: "You fools, run along the city wall!"
Shen Lang's strength was too weak.
The Big Fool was like his megaphone, shouting: "You bunch of sand, run along the city wall!"
The more than 10,000 mobs suddenly woke up.
Then they all ran along the city wall in both directions.
Su Quan's heart was really bleeding.
How many gold coins had these 20,000 mobs plundered? An astronomical number.
Originally, the Su clan wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune. What they needed the most in the upcoming rebellion was money.
But now the majority had been taken away by Shen Lang and Zhang Chong, and the rest were still fleeing.
In Su Quan's eyes, these fleeing mobs weren't people at all, but piles of gold coins.
His Su Clan's money, they just ran away with long legs.
Su Quan suddenly shouted: "Stop them, stop them, kill, kill, kill!"
Immediately, the Three Eyed Evil Mounted Bandits rushed out.
They split into two groups to intercept these mobs.
"Shoot arrows, kill, kill!"
Following Su Quan's order.
The army behind him shot arrows like rain.
But they weren't shooting at the city wall, but at the frantically fleeing mobs.
Suddenly, countless people fell to the ground and died tragically.
Under the curtain of night, the smell of blood soared to the sky.
This was what Shen Lang meant when he said that fate was fair.
You people have robbed money that you can't earn in a lifetime, so you can exchange it with your lives.
If you can escape, you can live comfortably for more than ten years, marry a wife and have children, that's enough.
But if you can't escape, you will die here.
Then don't blame the heavens.
Of course, if you want to curse Shen Lang?
Please do as you wish!
I, Shen Lang, am a vicious person. I came to the Western Heaven Province to take revenge, to destroy the Su Clan.
I'm not going to be a king, so I don't need to buy people's hearts.
Su Quan madly killed this group of mobs.
His eyes looked at Shen Lang on the city wall.
This child's viciousness really makes people's hair stand on end.
He obviously has no strength to truss a chicken, but he's more ruthless than me.
From then on, the entire White Night Province, when Shen Lang is mentioned, the reputation will definitely be polarized.
A portion of them would be filled with gratitude because Shen Lang had changed their fates. A significant portion of the honest people would start to feel uneasy and leave the plundering team after they had snatched enough money. They would flee to the countryside to hide and prepare to live a peaceful life.
And some people will hate Shen Lang to the bone and curse him day and night.
Because this group of people died under Shen Lang's evil plan.
It is said that success is built on the bones of ten thousand people. You, Shen Lang, have not achieved success, but there are already more than ten thousand corpses.
But you, Shen Lang, don't be complacent!
Your time of death has come!
You may not know, but Chu's Grandmaster Ban Ruo has come down the mountain.
Suffering Dhuta also brought a dozen experts, and together with me, there are three top experts.
Su Quan said, "Grandmaster Ban Ruo, Grandmaster Kuhai, next, we will use our top martial arts to kill Shen Lang and Zhang Chong. We must kill them in one strike!"
Chu's Grandmaster Ban Ruo said, "I am not an assassin, I only know that my enemy is Li Qianqiu."
Su Quan said, "Okay, leave Li Qianqiu to Grandmaster Ban Ruo. Leave Zhang Chong to Suffering Dhuta, and leave Shen Lang and the Big Fool beside him to me. "
"No problem!"
"We must kill them in one strike!"
Then, Su Quan, Suffering Dhuta, and Grandmaster Ban Ruo gathered all their qi.
"Kill!"
The three of them climbed up the wall like lightning.
Behind them, dozens of experts also climbed up the wall.
"Shen Lang, die!"
"Zhang Chong, die!"
Su Quan, Suffering Dhuta, and Grandmaster Ban Ruo thrust their swords at their respective targets.
Their speed was extremely fast!
Top experts must be killed in one strike.
If they missed the opportunity, there would be no second chance!
Grandmaster Ban Ruo versus Sword King Li Qianqiu.
One strike to determine the victor!
Grandmaster Ban Ruo lost by half a move and staggered backward.
This was within Su Quan's plan.
Grandmaster Ban Ruo's purpose was not to defeat Sword King Li Qianqiu, but to restrain him and prevent him from saving Zhang Chong.
In this way, Suffering Dhuta could easily kill Zhang Chong.
He, Su Quan, could easily kill Shen Lang. That Big Fool was heaven-defying, but he was not fast enough. He could stop Su Jianyan, but he could not stop Su Quan.
Compared to Su Nan, Su Quan's martial arts were only slightly inferior.
However!
What happened next was completely beyond his imagination.
Suffering Dhuta originally wanted to kill Zhang Chong, but the one who rushed up to meet him was a completely unfamiliar middle-aged ugly man.
Who, who was he?
His martial arts were actually so high, and he was only a step away from becoming a grandmaster.
However, Suffering Dhuta was also at this level.
This ugly middle-aged man was, of course, Zuo Ci's Junior Sister, Eldest Princess Ning Jie.
"Ding!"
Suffering Dhuta and Eldest Princess Ning Jie's swords clashed.
Sparks burst out in the air.
Eldest Princess Ning Jie took half a step back, and Suffering Dhuta also staggered half a step.
The martial arts of these two were indeed on par.
Su Quan's target was Shen Lang.
But if he wanted to kill Shen Lang, he had to first break through the Big Fool's defense.
And the Big Fool was best at blocking swords!
Other than Zhong Chuke and Li Qianqiu's swords, no one had been able to break through the Big Fool'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 fiercely stabbed towards Shen Lang!
The Big Fool rushed forward, the Black Iron Rod in his hand dancing wildly.
"I block, I block, I block!"
However!
The Big Fool only blocked one sword strike.
Su Quan was too powerful, his sword was too fast.
The Big Fool couldn't block the second strike!
"I'm finally going to kill this little thief!" Su Quan was overjoyed.
The sharp sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake, stabbing towards Shen Lang's neck.
With this stab, Shen Lang would definitely die.
However, in the next moment!
A figure suddenly rushed forward, blocking in front of Shen Lang.
Zhang Chong attacked!
Su Quan was shocked. Why was Zhang Chong here? Shouldn't he be killed by Suffering Dhuta?
"Ding!"
Zhang Chong and Su Quan's swords clashed.
Su Quan's sword swung away Zhang Chong's sword and slashed into his chest.
Blood spurted out.
At this moment, the Big Fool's iron rod suddenly smashed over!
"Bang!"
Su Quan hurriedly raised his sword to block.
Then, his whole body flew out and fell from the top of the city wall.
