Chapter 39: All eyes are on the second wave of attack
Tu Nanshan, Wanjiazhuang.
"Master, that little Su family is so ungrateful! They actually dared to rebel against us at Pier 12! Not only that, but I don't know who's behind the scenes helping them. All the brothers who went with me this time were injured!"
The thugs who had come to the Su family to seek revenge knelt in the middle of the manor hall, gritting their teeth and filled with resentment. "Master, you must avenge the brothers! And you must restore face for the Twelve Piers. You must not let them get away with this! Otherwise, those low-class people will be emboldened, and there will definitely be chaos in the future!"
The man sitting at the head of the hall was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a Buddha-head green brocade robe with a plain surface. He had a sturdy build, a short beard, and deep, fierce eyes.
This person is Wanfu, the leader of the Outer City Hall at the Twelve Wharfs.
He asked in a deep voice, "Did you check the scene after you were injured? Were there any hidden weapons scattered on the ground?"
The thug paused and shook his head. "I've checked and didn't find any suspicious hidden weapons. This, this is the strangest thing."
"To be able to accurately pierce the wrists of more than ten of you in an instant, and the wounds were all on the Daling acupoint, the person behind this must be very skilled. It looks like a needle, but the hole is larger than an ordinary needle... What kind of weapon did they use..." Wanfu narrowed his eyes and asked after a moment, "What is the background of the Su family? Have you found out?"
"I've already inquired before I set out. They have no background! They're just ordinary farmers. They were exiled this time because they were implicated. The ten members of the Su family are all native peasants. The only one who can be considered as a family background is the Su Liang clan, and now they have become tenants in our hands!"
"You go down first, I will take care of this matter."
After sending the thugs away, Wanfu's face turned cold. He turned around and ordered the attendant standing behind him, "I'm afraid this matter has spread. The other forces must be waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. No matter what, our Wanjia Village cannot become a laughing stock! Send five skilled guards from the hall to go to the Su family in Tubei Mountain and test them! I want to see if the people behind a small farming family can always protect them! If there are no obstacles, kill them all! To deter them!"
"Yes!" The attendant received the order and immediately went down to convey it.
Just as Wanfu said, what happened on Tubei Mountain has indeed reached the ears of various forces in the exile area.
This kind of trouble is not a big deal and is just a trivial matter in the eyes of big forces.
The reason why it attracted attention was simply because this was the first case in more than ten years of exile in which someone dared to resist oppression and even won the first round.
…
In the south of Fengyun City, there is a tower called Wangque Tower. The top floor has carved beams and painted pillars, and the sound of a zither lingers in the air. Next to the zither, there is a gold-inlaid bronze Boshan furnace with green smoke emitting an elegant fragrance.
A man in a moon-white robe sits in front of a guqin, stroking the strings with his slender fingertips, and the sound of a mountain ghost song lingers in the air.
"Rather than the masters protecting them from behind, I'm more interested in the Su family. Pier Twelve is going to be defeated this time, hehe... This drama is going to get more and more exciting."
"Send someone to explore Tubei Mountain, but don't alarm anyone."
…
Bai Mansion in the north of the city.
The head of the Bai family, Bai Kui, came down from the martial arts training ground. He was dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit, tall and straight, with a domineering aura in his dragon-like and tiger-like steps.
He took the sweat towel handed to him by the butler and wiped the sweat off his face casually. When he threw the sweat towel back, the butler had just finished his report.
"That idiot with the big beard will be finished sooner or later, but this time he was bitten by a rabbit. Hahahaha, how ridiculous!"
"Send someone to Tubei Mountain without alerting the enemy. Keep a close watch. If Huo Ziheng can treat them differently, the Su family may not be as simple as it seems. Let's see how many big fish hiding in the dark can be exposed by this small Su family."
"Where's Yu'er? Where did she go to cause trouble again?"
…
A ruined temple outside the west city.
A crazy old man in tattered clothes and a straw hat squatted in front of the fire, stringing two flying birds on a branch. When he smelled the burnt aroma, he ate them with relish, regardless of the burn.
"Crack, crack, crack. It smells good, but it's a little small. Even if I squeeze the meat together, it's still not enough to fill my teeth. Since you don't like meat, I'll eat it for you!"
"I heard that hypocrite Bai Xiaofeng from Wangque Tower recently got some ginseng. If you help me snatch it away, I'll give you a pot of Hundred Insects Wine!"
"By the way, you were the one who took action in the Tu Beishan incident, right? After much thought, I realized that you are the only one in Fengyun City who has such skills."
In the corner of a mottled wall on one side of the dilapidated temple, a man sat with a knife in his arms, his eyes slightly closed in the dim light. His voice was hoarse and low, "No. Two pots."
"...Alright! Two pots, that's it! Strange, if it wasn't you who did it, could it be that another expert has appeared in this awful place? Oh my goodness, this is going to be fun! Let's go and watch the fun!"
"roll."
"Fuck your mother, I'll poison you to death sooner or later!"
clang——
A broken knife was pointed across the air at the crazy old man. The man slowly opened his eyes. In the dim light, his eyes were like cold stars, sharp and ruthless, full of murderous intent.
The crazy old man slowly turned his head and looked up at the sky, "Ah, the weather is really nice today."
…
The Su family had no idea that because of what happened at noon, their family had attracted much attention and suspicion.
After the family had lunch, no one wanted to go out and do anything else, so they all gathered at home. After their courage, their rationality returned and they began to feel scared.
Those people will definitely come back, and it will be difficult for their family to live in peace from now on.
"For the next period of time, the women and children at home should try not to go out." Old Man Su pondered the next response. "The eldest and second sons should go out to work together and not be left alone."
He took the bow that the old woman had brought from Dahuai Village and gently stroked it with his rough, calloused fingers. "I'll use the firewood to make some arrows for you over the next couple of days. I'll also carve two wooden swords for you to carry with you, so you can at least protect yourself."
Su Da and Su Er nodded, not daring to speak big words.
The women held their children tightly in their arms. Although they were afraid, their eyes were firm because mothers are strong.
Just as the Su family expected, the second wave of troops arrived at Pier 12 soon.
Just over an hour had passed since the last wave.
At the time of Shen, the warm spring sun was hanging low in the sky, and the gate of the Su family courtyard was urgently knocked on by someone outside.
"Su, Su family, hide quickly, those people are coming again! They are almost at the foot of the mountain!" It was the people nearby who came to give courage and inform the Su family, and then ran away immediately after reminding them.
Su Da picked up a knife and went to open the gate, with a determination to risk his life in his eyes.
You can't hide from it. Even if you hide it this time, what about next time?
The Exile Land is full of the forces of the Twelve Piers. Do I have to live a life of escape in the Exile Land with my whole family?
Forced into a desperate situation, they could only fight back desperately.
As soon as the gate opened, the figures of those people appeared in Su Da's sight.
Su Da's eyelids shrank and he shouted, "Second brother, get the hoe!"
There were five people in total this time, all holding knives! And when they walked, their steps were light and steady. At first glance, they were different from the thugs who came at noon. These people had kung fu skills!
Their family is in trouble this time.
Su's eyes turned red, and he clenched the kitchen knife tightly with his five fingers. "You sons of bitches, I'll fight you to the death!"
Su Er rushed out carrying a hoe, his eyes wide open, "Boss, I'm coming! I'm laying my life on the line! Fuck him!"
The other party was obviously provoked by the two men. He swung the hilt of the knife and moved the blade forward. He looked at Su Da and Su Er with contempt and disdain, and did not take these two ants seriously at all.
The distance between the two sides is shrinking rapidly.
A hundred steps, fifty, and it will be right in front of you in the next moment.
Su Dasu Er rushed out of the door with determination, ready to fight with the other party, and roared wildly to give himself courage.
