It was a one-sided massacre.
Cui Zhaoren led more than a dozen subordinates of the Monitoring Division to slaughter hundreds of bandits of Fowl Crying Lake.
They were not opponents of the same level at all. After Cui Zhaoren skewered the Flowery Monk with his sword, he jumped onto the other two big boats and beheaded the bandit leader Li Xiaoer and the Tai Lake Demon King Zhao Sijia.
At this point, the bandits of Fowl Crying Lake quickly collapsed and no longer had any fighting power.
Some people wailed, some knelt down and begged for mercy, and more people wanted to escape.
It was impossible to run away.
Before Cui Zhaoren made his move, he had already ordered his subordinates to 'kill them all, leave no one alive'.
The Monitoring Division was the Monitoring Division of the Kingdom, but also Cui Zhaoren's Monitoring Division.
The men of the Monitoring Division obeyed Cui Zhaoren's words and regarded it as an imperial edict. If Cui Zhaoren said he would kill the whole family, they would kill the whole family. If Cui Zhaoren wanted a hair of someone, they would take a hair of that person.
If there was an extra hair, they would return it.
More than a dozen men of the Monitoring Division wielded their swords, not giving the bandits a chance to speak or plead for mercy.
Broken limbs and blood stained the surface of Fowl Crying Lake.
Although the ship was spared from the flames of war, but the students on the deck still felt their throats choking and their stomachs twitching when they saw the scene. Many of the timid and weak with weak nerves vomited on the spot.
Most of them lived in wealthy and peaceful hometowns, when had they ever seen such a scene of mass killing?
Li Muyang was very calm.
For some reason, he did not feel nervous at all. He did not think there was anything to be afraid of.
Even if there was a river of blood, he only sighed in his heart at the ruthlessness of the group of black-clad men.
Like the other students, it was the first time he had left home, and the first time he had experienced such a cruel battle.
Being bullied by classmates at school, being ridiculed by teachers in class, what was it compared to what he had experienced today?
However, Li Muyang did not feel the slightest bit of it. It was as if he did not care about such a thing at all.
Of course, Li Muyang knew that his state was not right. Zhang Linpu's body was shaking like a sieve, and was still looking at him with his sharp eyes.
Li Muyang didn't want to stand out from the crowd, so he followed Zhang Linpu's rhythm and began to shake.
Zhang Linpu was very angry, I have my own rhythm, why do you want to imitate me?
Therefore, Zhang Linpu trembled even more intensely.
Li Muyang was also very angry. Why did you suddenly accelerate? You just want me to appear more 'strange' than you guys, right? Do you want to exclude me from the category of 'normal people'?
Therefore, Li Muyang also accelerated along with Zhang Linpu.
If there was also the hot-blooded drumming music, the two of them would look like dancing masters fighting on the spot.
While Li Muyang and Zhang Linpu were swaying non-stop, the ship suddenly shook violently.
Bang —
A woman dressed in colorful clothes like a butterfly was thrown onto the deck.
The woman's body fell from the sky, and the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard.
She let out a blood-curdling scream, but before she could climb up from the deck to escape, Cui Zhaoren's body gently landed to one side, the sword dripping with blood in his hand was pressed against her throat.
His black clothes were not stained with blood, and his black cloak fluttered in the wind. His face was like jade, cold and gloomy, like a killing god from hell.
"Let me go, I beg you let me go — — I, Shui Yuanyang, am willing to be your slave, I'm willing to do anything you want me to do — —" The slightly good-looking woman looked terrified, begging in a hurry.
"You only have one chance." Cui Zhaoren said in a cold voice, without a shred of emotion in his voice. "Who ordered you to rob the ship?"
"No one. No one ordered us — — Our profession is Fowl Crying Lake's bandits, when we saw this beautiful ship, we obviously wanted to join forces to make a fortune — — "
The story should be simple, and not involve more complicated aspects. This is the way to save your life.
Chi — —
The sword stabbed downward, cutting through Shui Yuanyang's throat.
Blood flowed along the edge of the sword, instantly dying her neck and chest red.
Shui Yuanyang's eyes widened, but she did not dare to touch it with her hand. She was afraid that if she touched it, in addition to the blood on her hand, there would also be her severed throat.
"I don't like to listen to nonsense, and even more I don't like to listen to lies." Cui Zhaoren's eyes grew colder. "I said, you only have one chance, I should have killed you with my sword — — But unfortunately, your other companions were killed by my people. Even if I wanted to find someone to replace you, I can't find anyone. So, this is your luck, but also your misfortune — — Who ordered you to come? Don't worry, think carefully before you answer. "
While Cui Zhaoren was interrogating the bandit Shui Yuanyang, the battle on the three ships had already ended. The Monitor Division's officers slaughtered the motley crew.
Now they were scattered around the deck with a murderous aura, their eyes were filled with killing intent, and their bodies were filled with a strong smell of blood. Some belonged to the enemy, and some belonged to themselves.
They were a group of wild beasts that had escaped from their cage.
"I'll talk — — I'll talk, someone told us in advance that there was a ship that passed by Fowl Crying Lake today, full of scholars with large amounts of gold coins, as well as a large number of treasures and paintings of the 'Twelve Scrolls of the Monarch' — — That person said they only want the 'Twelve Scrolls of the Monarch', and all the gold coins, treasures and women on the ship will be divided among us — —"
"He also said that the ship is heavily guarded and there are masters overseeing it. He told us to contact more brothers, so that we won't get nothing in the end. So our leader Hua invited the other two leaders of the water bandits to do this business — — "
"There's no large number of jewels of the richest man in Jiangnan on this ship, nor the famous painting 'Twelve Scrolls of the Monarch' — —" Cui Zhaoren looked at the pitiful woman like she was an idiot.
"Not good." Cui Zhaoren suddenly woke up, shouting: "The goods are in danger."
Hua — —
Upon hearing Cui Zhaoren's order, the dozen or so black-clothed men of the Monitor Division instantly leapt to the third floor.
When Cui Zhaoren rushed to the third floor, the door was still guarded. Military advisor Su Rong and a group of guards were guarding the cabin door where the criminals were imprisoned.
"Congratulations young lord on your victorious return." Military advisor Su Rong said with a smiling face: "A group of rascals dared to stop the ship and rob us, attracting lightning, their deaths are not to be regretted."
"How's the goods?" Cui Zhaoren walked straight into the cabin.
"We've been guarding the door, we never left for even a moment." Su Rong said. "What's more, there are guards all around the cabin, and there are spells and restrictions, if someone touches it, the talisman master should be able to sense it, it shouldn't — —"
Su Rong could not continue his sentence.
Because when Cui Zhaoren hurriedly pushed open the cabin door, the cage in the room had disappeared.
The cage that was made of black gold and weighed tens of thousands of pounds disappeared in front of their eyes, and at the same time, a large piece of the ship's wooden plank under the cage also disappeared.
Someone had actually dug a hole right under their noses and rescued the Iron Wall General without anyone noticing.
This was just too bizarre and hard to believe.
Not to mention that he could break through the restrictions and the talisman master did not have any reaction, not to mention that he could silently cut through the floor, just the fact that he carried a cage weighing tens of thousands of pounds and a living person inside disappeared under the supervision and protection of so many people — — What kind of person is he?
Clang — —
His sword was like the cry of a dragon!
Cui Zhaoren pulled out his sword and forcefully swung it towards the cabin.
Kacha — —
The entire ship was struck by the qi of the sword, instantly splitting apart from the middle.
Rumble — —
Then the huge and heavy roof of the ship slid down to the surface of Fowl Crying Lake and crashed into the water.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and because there was no cover from the roof, the entire room on the third floor was no longer dark.
Cui Zhaoren stood under the blazing sun, his face as pale as the finest paper in Xuan City.
His eyes were like ice blades, and wherever they passed, people would be dismembered in an instant.
"Young lord, this is my negligence, I didn't think — —" Su Rong's expression was aghast as he hurriedly apologised. "I didn't think they would use that kind of method to rescue people, I'll — —"
"Chase." Cui Zhaoren coldly issued a one-word order.
"Yes." A black-robed supervisor bowed in response, and instantly flew towards the surroundings of Fowl Crying Lake.
Cui Zhaoren gazed at the thousands of miles of river in front of him, remaining silent for a long time.
Everyone was gathered on the deck, including all the crew members and the ship's workers.
A team of nearly a hundred people, but no one made the slightest sound, even their eyes were locked with Xiaoxin's.
Silence and solemnity, the air seemed to have solidified.
Even if everyone was very dissatisfied with this behaviour, but when they saw the young man in a fluttering black robe coldly staring at them, they could only suppress their grievances and hurriedly lower their heads to avoid eye contact with him.
Seeing the scene of slaughter just now, who would dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers?
Witnessing the toughness and cruelty of this group of black-robed men, they even secretly regretted doing such a stupid thing — -Running over to search other people's cabins. Isn't this suicidal?
"Everyone on the ship is here." Manager Chen Tao walked over to Cui Zhaoren's side, as Xiaoxin reported.
"Is there a shortage of people?"
"I just counted, one person is missing." Chen Tao's head was almost touching his crotch.
"Who?"
"This — — I don't know yet. Because they are all guests, I can't match many people's names and faces — — "
"Call out the names."
"Yes." Chen Tao answered, hurriedly took out the name list left behind by the guests when they boarded the ship and began to call out the names.
"Jiangnan Li Yikun — —"
"Jia County Zhang Linpu — —"
"Xi County Chen Qingzhi — —"
----
Every time a person's name was called, someone would step out of the formation and come to an area under the supervision of the Monitoring Division.
The names were quickly called out, Chen Tao came over carrying the name list and said: "One person is missing, his name is Mu Qinghou."
"Qinghou?" Cui Zhaoren sneered aloud and said in a loud voice: "Does anyone know this person?"
No one answered.
"Those who have seen this person can live, and will be rewarded with two hundred gold coins."
"I've seen him — —" A skinny scholar timidly raised his hand and said: "I've seen him, he's a fat man."
"Good, reward him with two hundred gold coins." Cui Zhaoren kept his word, someone immediately threw a bag of gold coins into his arms.
"I've also seen him, I even quarreled with him — —"
"Yes, he spoke up for Li Muyang and humiliated us — —"
----
Li Muyang?
Among the shouting, Cui Zhaoren heard the question he was most concerned about.
"Li Muyang — —" He found the young man in white who dared to contradict and threaten him in the crowd. His eyes were piercingly cold, but his voice was unusually calm as he said: "Do you know that you have committed the crime of colluding with the enemy?"
