Ah Gou stood in the crowd, holding a roasted wild boar leg in his left hand and a few large rice cakes in his right hand, chewing them with big mouthfuls of oil dripping from his mouth.
Two days ago, he and his brothers escorted the gold and the stolen armor and weapons to their secret base, and just returned early this morning. As soon as he and his brothers' black-sailed boats docked, they encountered Zhu Jie and Mo Yu's fleet.
Agou had an instinctive intuition about danger. He sensed a sense of crisis of an impending storm from Zhu Jie and Mo Yu. Although this danger was not directly directed at him, it made him feel very uncomfortable.
So he took a few men with him, hid in the crowd and watched what was going on at the commercial dock.
Zhu Jie came and went to Qizhou City.
Mo Yu came and went to Qizhou City.
The big and powerful people in Minzhou and Mangzhou all went to Qizhou.
Before Agou could send people to follow, spy and gather information, an astonishingly large joint fleet of large families came sailing over in a mighty manner, descending on Qizhou with an overwhelming momentum.
Watching the private soldiers of the big families go ashore, and watching the sailors and porters unload the mountains of food and countless weapons and supplies from the cabin, Ah Gou munched on the food while mumbling vaguely, "Are these guys preparing to fight?"
Several fat and strong men folded their hands over their chests, staring at the huge ships of these big families with gloomy faces.
There were two or three hundred huge ships, and the private soldiers, sailors, porters, and servants on each ship added up to at least one or two thousand people.
They brought so much food and supplies. Apart from the private soldiers, these strong sailors and porters in front of us could become very good warriors if they were given a steel knife.
Such a large army suddenly arrived, what do they want to do?
"Brother Gou, we need to inform Brother Tian as soon as possible." A big man spit fiercely on the ground: "I feel so scared, something is wrong!"
Agou and the others were not at home these two days. They didn't know that Chu Tian had killed the young masters of the six major families. If they knew, they would definitely not stay at the dock and would have run as far away as possible.
Precisely because they didn't know, after Ling Shou and the stewards of the six surnames whispered a few words, Ling Shou saw Agou at a glance amid the gloating laughter of the stewards of other major families.
Given Ling Shou's status and position, it was impossible for him and Agou to have any intersection.
It so happened that more than half a year ago, when Ling Shou was inspecting the various properties of the Ling family in Qizhou City, he happened to have a conflict with a group of casino thugs when Agou lost a bet and refused to pay his debts.
The violent Agou, with his bare fists, beat hundreds of armed thugs from Ling's Casino so hard that they fled in panic.
After that incident, Ling Shou severely beat up the leader of the casino's thugs, but he also remembered Agou, a brave but simple-minded rough man; similarly, Ling Shou also remembered that Agou was one of Chu Tian's two generals, and Chu Tian's biggest helper in monopolizing the Baimang River fish market.
"Manager Li, have you seen that dark-skinned guy? His name is Agou, and he is Chu Tian's confidant!"
As the chief steward of the Ling family, Ling Shou saw the stewards of the six surnames embarrassed in front of the stewards of the major families in the same industry. He knew very well what the members of these major families wanted to do at this moment!
They must do something to save their family's reputation and at the same time save their own future, their own property and their own lives!
As the Chu family was the local tyrant, they could not rashly retaliate against them, but they had to find a scapegoat, no matter who it was, and put a large part of the blame on him.
This is not only an explanation to the top of the family, but also a way to shut up all the big families in the same industry and let them know that the six surnames are not easy to bully and their young masters will not die in vain.
Li Zheng, the chief steward of the Li family who was in charge of this joint operation, gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at Agou, who was swallowing in the crowd dozens of feet away. He suddenly took out a golden whistle from his sleeve and blew a series of melodious and sharp whistles.
The 1,000 Li's private soldiers who had already formed up on the dock shuddered and turned their heads to look at Li Zheng. Li Zheng pointed at Agou with a sullen face and shouted, "Break his four legs and bring him and his gang here!"
The well-trained Li family private army shouted, and ten teams of 100 men suddenly spread out into a goose feather formation, and surrounded the direction where Agou was.
Many of the dock sailors and porters who were watching the fun around Agou, as well as the waiters and hangers-on of some teahouses and restaurants on the dock, cried out in unison, turned around and ran away crying. They were all "honest people", who dared to confront these vicious private armies of big families?
Ah Gou and the several strong men around him were stunned. Ah Gou's face, like a mastiff, twitched a few times and he shouted gloomily, "Enemy? Fuck him!"
If Chu Tian was present, he would avoid the real situation and make a strategic retreat first, then gather enough forces to retaliate.
If Ah Que was here, he would turn around and leave, relying on his unique body skills to fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy, using various small tricks to weaken the enemy's manpower as much as possible, even poisoning, assassination, and all kinds of despicable means.
But change it to Agou!
Throwing away the half-eaten pork leg and glutinous rice cake, Agou wiped his clothes vigorously with his hands, grabbed a bluestone horse post beside him, laughed strangely, and exerted his extraordinary strength to smash the stone pillar that was more than ten feet long and as thick as a bucket with all his strength.
With a strange "whoosh" sound, the bluestone pillar spun violently, bringing with it a dull sound of breaking wind and flying more than thirty feet away.
A row of ten Li's private army soldiers, holding iron shields and knives in their right hands, had no time to dodge. They could only shout in unison and raise their shields, hoping to block the impact of the bluestone pillars.
The stone pillars smashed down hard, and ten steel shields twisted and shattered. Ten private soldiers were hit squarely on the chest by the stone pillars. A cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded from their upper bodies, and their entire upper bodies were shattered by the stone pillars thrown by Agou's brute force.
The stone pillar continued to fly backwards, and dozens of private soldiers behind it screamed in unison and dodged in panic. The stone pillar killed another seven or eight people, and then fell heavily to the ground, exploding into countless fist-sized pieces.
Large and small pieces of rubble flew everywhere, and there were continuous screams of pain. More than thirty private soldiers of the Li family were hit by the rubble. The stones dented their armor and broke their bones.
Several private soldiers had their ribs broken and were spitting out blood. They fell to the ground and were obviously dying.
Before the two sides officially came into contact, Agou's single strike had already deprived half of Li's private army of its combat effectiveness.
Li Zheng stared at Agou in amazement. His face turned red. He felt that all the managers of the big families around him were silently laughing at him, laughing at the low combat effectiveness of their Li family's private army.
"Kill them! Show no mercy, no one left alive, kill, kill, kill!"
Li Zheng jumped up and down and screamed, "Are you all dead? Captains of each team, go up and kill them!"
In Li's private army, those captains and even generals with strong martial arts skills rushed out one after another and rushed towards Agou.
