Chapter 293: Traitors

"It's strange, why are there Japanese pirates in Xiangyang City?"

Wu Gong did not act rashly.

He originally thought it was the Mongols or the Manchus who poisoned the place.

Because, no matter from which perspective, the Mongols and the Manchus were the most motivated to do so. The Mongols naturally wanted to take Xiangyang City. But if you think about it carefully, if the Mongols really had such a method, they would have already done it. Why would they need to command another 200,000 troops to attack Xiangyang City?

As long as we wait quietly for the plague to ferment, won't Xiangyang City become a dead city?

As for the Manchus, there seemed to be no reason to come and poison them.

The important town bordering the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and the Song Dynasty was not Xiangyang. Moreover, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties now hoped that the Song Dynasty could withstand the Mongolian attack. Because for today's Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they do not have the energy and ability to attack the Song Dynasty. Not only because they are fighting a war on two fronts, but more importantly, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has also fallen into an internal power struggle.

The important ministers of the auxiliary state, headed by Obai, and the imperial party, headed by the young emperor and the queen mother, were fighting for power within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they had no time and energy at all. What's more important is that because of the struggle between the two factions, the military power is also in the hands of different people. There are actually not many troops that each faction can mobilize.

Able to maintain the war with Lao Maozi.

This is already a very reluctant thing.

From this point of view, there is indeed no reason for the Manchus and Mongols to poison themselves here again.

Although the Mongols have motives, it is impossible based on the current situation.

Although the Manchus had such ability, they had no motive.

But no matter what happens, it won’t be the Japanese pirates’ turn!

Xiangyang City is far away from the sea.

If it was really about poisoning Japanese pirates, why didn't they go to the Central Plains area?

Isn't the chaos caused by going down the Yangtze River bigger than that of a small Xiangyang city?

Wu Gong was thinking in his mind as he quickly approached the direction of the Japanese pirates.

It didn't take long for him to arrive next to the Japanese pirate.

There were more people than he had just seen.

There were seventeen or eight people lying on the ground not far away, sleeping soundly.

This was because of the obstruction of the stone and the fact that these people did not make any sound. Therefore, Wu Gong, who was just in the water, did not notice the existence of these people at the first time.

Wu Gong circled around them.

After making sure nothing slipped through the net.

Just as he was about to take action, Wu Gong suddenly felt a pinprick-like sensation spreading on his skin. Immediately afterwards, a sharp kunai was pierced towards his throat. A faint white light rippled on the edge of the kunai, which looked particularly sharp. When it cut through the air, it could also be seen with the naked eye. white cyclone.

Without thinking, Ugong raised his hand and grabbed the black kunai.

At the same time, the entire arm suddenly became larger and swollen.

"puff!"

The palm of his hand grasped the kunai hard. The sharp edge was in Ugong's palm, but it did not cause any damage. The sneak attack guy saw his weapon being caught and tried hard to Draw the weapon back.

But how could her strength be that of Wu Gong's?

Ugong narrowed his eyes, and at the same time used force to pull the kunai back.

There was just a click, and a broken finger was embedded in the end of the kunai. At the same time, a shrill voice came from the black shadow!

"Enemy attack!"

Wu Gong raised his eyebrows and punched with his right hand.

There was another pop.

The sound suddenly stopped in the black shadow, and a red blood mist came out of the black shadow.

In an instant, this man was completely dead and turned into blood mist floating in the sky.

Wu Gongqi was not happy at all.

Instead, he turned his head and looked towards the fire not far away.

I saw the Japanese pirates who were drinking and chatting next to the fire just now.

At this moment, they were running away in all directions.

There was no intention of resisting at all.

Wu Gong was stunned.

He had originally planned to be besieged by this group of Japanese pirates and then massacred, leaving only one alive in the end. However, he did not expect that these Japanese pirates did not even have the idea of ​​resisting, and turned around and ran away. His movements were so fast that it was suspicious. Wasn't it rehearsed in advance?

Otherwise, how could he run so resolutely?

Wu Gong glanced at the Japanese pirates who turned around and ran away.

Without the slightest hesitation, he chased after him in big strides.

These Japanese pirates are obviously very familiar with this underground river bank.

This is also a very normal thing.

It is not difficult to see from the piles of wine jars.

They have been in this place for at least seven or eight days.

When passing by the mountain of wine tanks.

Suddenly stopped.

Wu Gong let out a light sigh.

On this wine jar, there is a red seal marking the Xiangyang City Prefect's Mansion.

Said it before.

Both wine and meat are in very short supply in Xiangyang City today.

Materials belonging to arms control.

This meat is not very easy to manage, but each jar of wine needs to be registered before being sold. Huang Rong's original purpose of doing this was to collect money more conveniently and to prevent illegal liquor from appearing and disrupting her plan to reward the Mongolians.

Therefore, corresponding marks were made on each jar of wine.

But now someone is using these wines to feed the pirates, which means there are traitors in Xiangyang City.

And now the price of wine in Xiangyang City has risen to a jaw-dropping level. Under such circumstances, the other party can still take out so much wine, which is enough to prove that the other party's financial resources or strength are much stronger than imagined.

Wu Gong paused for a moment, and then continued to chase forward with big strides.

It is obviously impossible to catch all the pirates.

But there is no problem in catching some of them.

Wu Gong, who was running forward with big strides, suddenly stopped.

He took several steps back.

But even so, it was still a step late.

A sharp bow and arrow pierced through the air and pierced his chest directly.

At the same time, more bows and arrows attacked from all directions.

Wu Gong immediately understood.

These pirates' escape was fake.

They wanted to ambush themselves in the name of escape.

Facing these bows and arrows.

Wu Gong neither dodged nor dodged, and at the same time, he accelerated and rushed towards the direction of the arrow.

The sound of ding-dong-dong rang out.

The moment the arrow hit Wu Gong's body, it was like it was pierced on steel.

There was no exception.

All of them were bounced away.

And in this moment.

Wu Gong had already rushed into the ambush crowd.

The sharp sword cut through the air.

In such a narrow space, he could actually use the sword for close combat. This person's swordsmanship can be regarded as the first-class level in the world, but it is a pity that he is facing Wu Gong, who is invulnerable to swords and guns. Therefore, no matter how sharp the sword in his hand is, no matter how powerful it is, it is useless.

He grabbed the sharp sword with his palm.

The blade was embedded deep into the skin, and blood flowed down through the gaps between his fingers. Wu Gong's face showed surprise. Even though his body was not swollen, the toughness of his skin was not something that could be hurt by ordinary weapons. However, at this moment, the blade of the sword was deeply embedded in the skin.

"Good sword!"

Blood flowed down through the gaps between his fingers.

Wu Gong's hands were constantly exerting force. Under the force of Wu Gong, the sword in his hand twisted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, until finally, with a metallic sound, the sword was broken into two pieces in the middle.

The blade was still tightly attached to Wu Gong's fingers, but the blade and the handle could not help but fly out and sank into the darkness. Then, the sound of muscle tearing came again. Several people screamed and fell to the ground, deader than dead.

The man holding the sword did not expect the sword he forged.

It was broken so easily.

His face was full of surprise. But his movements were not slow either. He quickly retreated, shaking his palms that were cracked. His knuckles were directly cracked, and the cracks on his calloused palms looked particularly strange.

Wu Gong continued to move forward. His palm quickly grabbed the head of the guy who attacked him. His pupils shrank slightly, and after seeing the face of the head in his hand clearly. Wu Gong smashed his head to the ground with force. Of course, this Japanese pirate fought desperately. He gritted his teeth and took a breath, his spine stretched straight, and he was unwilling to make close contact with his head and the ground.

Unfortunately, his strength seemed insignificant at this moment. The creaking sound continued to sound. One bone after another was quickly exercised. The Japanese pirate screamed in pain. But it didn't work at all. Until the head was completely in close contact with the ground.

The ground of the underground riverbank is not hard rock, but a kind of sand with a faint stench. Therefore, when the head comes into close contact with the ground, the not very hard sand immediately sank. The whole face of the Japanese pirate also sank. The Japanese pirate suddenly stopped breathing. But Wu Gong did not stop. He compared the direction of a fleeing Japanese pirate in the distance.

He kicked the ground and the head of the corpse.

The whole head broke in the middle. The head of the corpse flew away like a stone. Almost in an instant, the two heads collided heavily. It was like two fireworks exploding together. Scarlet brain matter and pale bones flew everywhere.

At this moment, the blood and this underground river that never sees the sun outlined a beautiful picture.

The other fleeing Japanese pirates were frightened to death. They jumped directly into the underground river without any hesitation.

No matter if there is a plague in the river that can turn them into zombies.

They continued to swim upstream quickly.

Wu Gong looked at the Japanese pirates fleeing in all directions.

A green light flashed on his palm. Along with the flash of green light. In the distance, the zombie corpse that was originally hung in the underground river and whose body had been soaked into a giant. Immediately began to twitch vigorously. While twitching continuously, the ropes tied all over his body were also quickly broken.

Along with the breaking of the cowhide rope tied to his body.

These were twisted and bloated corpses. They merged closely together and began to swim upstream. It didn't take long for them to catch up with a Japanese pirate who was swimming at the back. The Japanese pirate's face was pale, and he kept waving his limbs, trying to escape. But how far can he swim with his short stature?

Almost, just a moment of effort.

He was swallowed up by these fused corpses.

became one of them.

Wu Gong waved his finger and pointed to the end of the underground river.

A large number of paper cranes came out of his sleeves. Like lightning, it rushed towards a Japanese pirate in the farthest place. Originally, the Japanese pirate had almost reached the turning point and was about to escape.

But at this moment, a paper crane pierced his eyes.

The entire body of this paper crane is made of folded paper.

But its beak is sharp and tough in this bleak underground.

A faint silver light rippled above the bird's beak.

The Japanese pirates were caught off guard and were immediately stabbed in the eyes.

Completely losing everything in front of him, he covered his eyes and kept rolling in the water. He was soon washed back by the undercurrent, and was eaten by the alienated living corpse.

The other Japanese pirates took out their weapons and chopped down the paper cranes that flew near them, but there were too many paper cranes, and they were all dead before long.

Wu Gong did not leave any survivors.

It's not that he has much murderous intention.

The fundamental reason for this situation is that he found a better target. These Japanese pirates seemed to have escaped, but to some extent. Wu Gong, who said that these Japanese pirates were actually covering for certain people, aimed at the flying paper cranes and waved his sleeves, and all the paper cranes were immediately put into his sleeves.

Finally, he quickly walked back to the mountain where the wine jars were piled up.

These wine jars have all been drunk, but there is still a strong aroma of wine, which continues to come out of the wine jars.

Smelling the strong aroma of wine.

Wu Gong gently put his hand on a wine jar: "Should you come out on your own or should I beat you out? If you come out on your own, I believe you will not be hurt, but if you let me help you come out, , believe me, you will definitely regret it in the future.”

Wu Gong gently picked up a wine jar and threw it behind him.

The wine jar fell onto the sand and did not break.

But almost in the next second, other wine jars began to shake.

Until a thin guy emerged from the wine jar.
