Gao Muqing and Liang Qi suddenly realized, and the three of them immediately rushed to the cave below, carrying barrels of wooden barrels up, and smashing buckets into the fire. After the tea, the flowing water took the fire dragon all over the cave, and soon, the flames ignited the stacked materials, and after seven or eight materials caught fire, the entire material cave was full of smoke and flames.

After the fires broke out in several places of grain, cotton and linen, the fire went straight to the top of the cave, licking the stone stalactites hanging upside down on the top of the cave. Under the scorching flames, the stone stalactites on the roof of the cave began to crumble and fall off, and rained down everywhere in the cave. Dozens of bandits were pierced below like headless flies, and they rushed in a hurry because they realized that the end was coming.

Smoke was already billowing from the road leading to the exit, and countless bandits rushed to the only escape route. Jia Dongsheng was the first to rush here, and when the fire spread, Jia Dongsheng had already realized that he had to flee quickly, otherwise it would be too late. He fled as fast as he could to the place where the platform was and climbed onto it. Using a microphone embedded in the wall of the shaft, he ordered the people above to pull themselves up.

But what he didn't expect was that there were many smart people who glanced at him. Dozens of bandits also rushed after him, scrambling to squeeze onto the lifting platform. The two-zhang square lifting platform was crowded with more than 30 people in a moment, and it was full. There were also countless bandits crowded in the rear, but they were a step too late. By the time the second group of bandits entered the hut, the platform had already wobbled and began to rise.

More than a dozen bandits desperately reached out and grabbed the edge fence of the lifting platform, hanging below like dried salted fish. More than 50 people were loaded up and down the entire lifting platform. The bandits who hadn't caught up below looked up at the slowly rising platform, cursing and shouting loudly. Some people began to cry bitterly. They realized that this might be their last chance, that the smoke had filled the entire passageway, and that by the time the platform came down, they might have died.

The platform rose slowly, and the thick cables bounced and rattled, but no one noticed. The people above and below were glad that they were able to escape the fire and smoke below, and they were all glad that they were able to survive. But they forgot that the weight of more than fifty of them was as high as six or seven thousand catties, which had long exceeded the load of the platform. The dozen or so strong men on top who turned the shaft could still hold on, and they could push the winch to pull them up, but the platform couldn't support it, and the rope couldn't support it.

Just as the lifting platform rose to a height of ten zhang, a thick cable broke with a bang. The entire lifting platform suddenly tilted towards one foot. In a frightened scream, the bandits on the platform smashed off the guardrail on one side like dumplings and fell.

The ground was all rocky, and the height of ten zhang was enough for them to break their bones, and dozens of people fell down with a puff, and the screams were terrible. The ground was instantly covered with blood. Most of them fell to their deaths, a small number of people were stoned to death by others, and the other lucky ones were stoned to death by others, and they were injured themselves, but their lives were saved. There were a few luckier ones who, because of their timely reaction, grabbed the edge fence of the platform without falling off.

Jia Dongsheng is one of these extremely lucky people, and the direction of the platform break is not on his side, but in the diagonal direction. This prevented him from falling instantaneously or being carried along by others. At the moment when the platform overturned, Jia Dongsheng reached out and grabbed the fence on the upper edge. It hangs there like a piece of bacon.

The two bandits next to him were also hanging there, three like three dried fish drying in the sun.

The platform was still rising, and all three of them were a little fat, so their arm grip soon became too strong to support their massive frames. A bandit soldier beside Jia Dongsheng couldn't hold it up, and let go with a loud shout, accompanied by a long and mournful echo, there was a pop sound from below.

Jia Dongsheng's eyes were red, and he desperately grabbed the fence with his stiff fingers along the spit. Another bandit soldier on his left cried loudly: "I can't hold it anymore, Leader Jia, help me." ”

Jia Dongsheng scolded: "Lao Tzu himself is difficult to protect, how can I save you?" ”

The bandit's face twisted, his fingers slowly sliding, and finally his hand let go, and his body fell diagonally. The platform was actually shaking, and it happened that it was swinging to the left high point at this time, which caused the bandit to rub Jia Dongsheng's body when he fell. The person before he died was extremely agile, and the bandit reached out in mid-air and hugged one of Jia Dongsheng's legs hanging below.

Jia Dongsheng's arm shook and he almost let go. Bearing the strength of two people in his hands, he suddenly felt unbearable soreness.

"Grass you mother, let go. If you want to die, die, don't come to harm Lao Tzu. Jia Dongsheng scolded.

The bandit soldier hugged Jia Dongsheng's leg with a sad face and shouted, "I don't want to die, Leader Jia hold on." ”

"Let go, I can't hold on." Jia Dongsheng kicked the bandit with his other foot, and the bandit didn't know where the strength came from, so he held on to it and let Jia Dongsheng's foot kick in the face.

When the two were entangled with themselves, they heard a click. This sound was just the ordinary sound of wood breaking, but at this time, to Jia Dongsheng's ears, it was tantamount to the impermanence of asking for his life. Jia Dongsheng's hand did not let go, still holding on to the edge of the wooden fence. But it was the wooden fence he was holding onto. The wooden fence had long since fallen into disrepair, and it was a miracle that it could hold on for so long in this cave. At this moment, it finally broke.

"Ahh The bandits shouted.

"Fuck you, you hurt Lao Tzu to death, Lao Tzu will not let you go as a ghost." Jia Dongsheng scolded.

Puff puff, two people smashed to the ground. The fall was orderly, but the reincarnation was in no particular order, and both of them died at the same time.

……

The sky was already dark, and Hai Dongqing, who had not closed his eyes all night, did not rest, he had been sitting on the animal skin chair in the justice hall, squinting his eyes and holding his cheeks to look at the black smoke and dancing flames in the big iron pot in front of him.

By the time the deliberations were over, the leaders had long since dispersed. The Hall of Justice was empty and lonely except for the guards standing in the shadows. Hai Dongqing's mind was also empty, or he was stuffed with too many things. Thinking too much and too complicated, it seems empty and can't figure it out.

The officers and soldiers were about to attack the island, and they should arrive soon after dawn. Hai Dongqing was actually not too worried, because no matter how he looked at it, the attack of the officers and men was an action that was beyond their strength.

Their plan was indeed very ingenious, sending Lin Jue and Gao Muqing to the island as an internal response, and deliberately choosing the time to attack before the hurricane came, so that their own people could not intercept them at sea. I have to say that the whole plan is extremely ingenious and unexpected. Hai Dongqing was also surprised for a long time after learning all this.

But the plan is on the verge of collapse. First of all, the interior of the island should have been cleared, although Lin Jue did set off some storms. His rebellious son was actually instigated by him to rebel and kill himself, and he also killed his wife and concubine and two precious sons, which was a painful blow. But these blows are based on personal emotional blows, and they have no impact on the bigger picture. He escaped the defeat of the rebel and returned to the island, and the situation on the island did not change. On the contrary, Lin Jue and Gao Muqing were forced to flee. Whether these two died on the sea or survived on a desert island, at least they could no longer stay on the island and make waves.

The second is that although the offensive plan of the officers and men was exquisite, they underestimated the defensive ability of Peach Blossom Island. Peach Blossom Island not only relies on the advantages of the terrain and the large number of people, but also has saved a lot of things over the years. The guy who can use the fire oil bed crossbow for siege and uprooting has stored a lot of himself, and he has also stored a lot of strong bow and hard crossbow armor, but it is not useful. On weekdays, the brothers are still shirtless with harpoons and steel knives, of course, because there is no threat to the object they have to deal with, and there is no challenge to rob ships and go inland to rob, and another reason is also their deliberate disguise. It is not a matter of concern for the imperial court to think that Peach Blossom Island is just a group of rabble, so that at a critical time, their powerful combat power can take them by surprise.

Therefore, this time the officers and soldiers attacked the island, with these things, if the Ning Navy did not understand the current affairs, he would have taught them a great lesson. Even he hoped that they could ignore the current affairs, and if they could annihilate the Ning Navy and naval forces, then Hangzhou might really fall into their own hands. It's exciting to think about.

Hai Dongqing squinted and pondered, thinking about things in his mind. Suddenly, there was a knock of footsteps at the door of the Justice Hall, and two tall voices rushed in at a trot. Hai Dongqing raised his eyes and saw that it was the chief and deputy leaders of the guard battalion beside him, and his subordinates were known as the Donkey Kong Meng Xiang and the Second King Kong Song Mill among the Eight King Kongs.

Hai Dongqing sat up straight and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there any news of the officers and soldiers? Why didn't the advisor come to inform me? ”

Meng Xiang Song Mo stepped forward and saluted, Meng Xiang shook his head and said: "There is no news of officers and soldiers, the military division is dispatching troops and horses outside." We have something else to do to report to the island...... That one...... Anglican. ”

Meng Xiang obviously didn't like Hai Dongqing's new title.

"Oh? What's up? Go ahead. As soon as Hai Dongqing heard the news that it was not the arrival of the officers and soldiers, he immediately relaxed, and reached out to take the tea on the wooden table next to him to drink.

"That's right, just now the second child went to patrol the post, and several guard brothers on the checkpoint leading to the Juyi Hall disappeared. The second child felt strange and couldn't ask around, so he sent someone to search. As a result, their bodies were found in the bushes on the south side of the level. They were killed. And the waist tags on three of them are missing. Meng Xiang said loudly.

"What?" Hai Dongqing put down the teacup in surprise. "Is this true?" Hai Dongqing looked at Song Mill.

"Holy ...... Holy Father, it's true, the body was found by someone with his own hands. All of them were fatal wounds, and one of them had his neck broken, which looked like the work of a master. The subordinate felt that something was strange, so he told the boss. The boss said that he had to inform the holy ...... quickly Gong, what does the Holy Father think is going on? Song Mo hurriedly replied.

Hai Dongqing's face was pale, and he frowned: "It seems that there are still spies on the island." After pondering for a moment, Hai Dongqing said again: "What did you say at the right time?" The waist tag on the corpse is missing? ”

"Yes." Meng Xiang and Song Mo nodded repeatedly.

Hai Dongqing slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, they take the guard's waist card, what are they going to do?" The guard's waist tag can come here, don't you say......"

Meng Xiang and Song Mian changed color at the same time, and Meng Xiang said loudly: "Holy Father, my subordinates will immediately go to investigate, from the first checkpoint to here, there are still two checkpoints and a layer of sentry, if you want to come up, you must be interrogated." Maybe they can find out if someone is mixing in with those three waist cards and pretending to be an identity. ”
