Chapter 186

The Pirate King Chou Tianwei was a very complicated person.

However, if one were to use three words to describe him, they would be greedy, vicious, and paranoid.

One could tell from how cautious and suspicious Qiu Xiao was at that time.

In the past few days and nights, Qiu Xiao had not eaten any food on the island, nor had he drunk any water on the island. He did not even use any utensils on the island.

And Qiu Tianwei was even more suspicious than his son.

The slightest sound of wind and cranes could be heard, and every plant and tree was treated like an enemy.

He was the one who wanted to snatch it the moment he heard that there was an ancient metal vein on Watchcliff Island. He was also the one who asked his son to negotiate.

He was the one who had led an army of tens of thousands to charge over, but when the ancient metal vein was right in front of him, he hesitated.

Did he really think that there was a trap at the bottom of the mine?

No, not really.

It was just an instinctive suspicion.

Just like in the art of war, one should never enter a forest or a valley.

Just like that, the 30,000-strong pirate coalition set up camp at the top of the mine, surrounding the Xuanwu army.

One day, two days, three days.

But as time passed, he was still the one who felt restless.

Tang Zong, the eldest son of the Jin Hai Count House, found it even more intolerable. He was in high spirits and couldn't stand such a cowardly way of fighting.

Finally, he once again came in front of Qiu Tianwei, and said with incomparable respect: "Marquis of Nu Chao, you are a master of the art of war, may I ask if you have any clues?"

Chou Tianwei drank silently.

Tang Zong said, "I know there is a saying in the art of war, don't enter a forest, don't enter a valley, because you are afraid of being ambushed. Regardless of whether it was the forest or the valley, their vision was not clear. However, the mine in front of us is completely unobstructed, so we can't set up any ambush. "

Chou Tianwei still did not speak.

Tang Zong said: "How many troops can Xuanwu have? After he expanded his army, he had a total of five thousand private soldiers. He also left over a thousand to guard his fief. More than four thousand of them are here. We can even see them every day. Besides, we're the ones looking down on them, not them. "

He was right.

Even the Pirate King Chou Tianwei could not imagine that there would be any traps in this pit.

So what if his 30,000 strong army reached the bottom of the pit?

Xuanwu's mere four thousand people couldn't harm them at all.

Tang Zong said, "If Marquis Nu Chao is not at ease, I can lead my family's private army to go down and investigate."

As soon as these words came out, Chou Tianwei was instantly angered.

Tang Zong, what do you mean by that?

Are you implying that I'm as timid as a mouse?

Besides, who knew how much gold there was at the bottom of this mine? Do you want to take everything for yourself?

Tang Zong said, "Of course, besieging Xuanwu with the army and exhausting its food and water supply is also a way to win without a fight. However, with the heavy snow, there was no need to worry about fresh water. On the other hand, Xuanwu must have hidden all of his rations in the house under the big pit. Perhaps he has even more rations than we have. Our rations are all transported by ship, so we can't outlast them. "

Chou Tianwei frowned.

Who do you think you are?

Your father, Tang Lun, doesn't even dare to speak loudly in front of me. How dare a mere child like you question me?

Chou Tianwei said indifferently: "If you are not satisfied, you can lead the army and leave."

As soon as these words came out, Tang Zong's expression changed slightly.

We're about to get the ancient gold vein and wipe out the Xuan Wu Mansion, and you want me to leave?

Won't I be beaten to death by my father when I return?

Won't I miss the opportunity of the Tang family's rise?

Tang Zong said helplessly: "Everything will be as the Marquis says."

… …

After returning to the camp, Tang Zong couldn't help but curse.

"What kind of pirate king is he? He's as timid as a mouse."

"I really don't know how he got his Fury Tide City."

"How stupid must Jinyu Count have been 20 years ago? He was actually defeated by this kind of person, and his whole army was wiped out."

"Such a big pit, and everywhere is bare. Even a ghost can't hide, how could there be an ambush?"

"This person is really outdated."

The Tang family's private army all agreed with him.

… … …

Not only Tang Zong was dissatisfied, but many of the pirate leaders also complained in their hearts.

"What's wrong with the king? The gold mine is piled up like a mountain. Maybe there's a hundred thousand jin of gold in that house. Why not kill them? "

"Isn't that right? It's like a woman being stripped naked, but you don't do it. "

"That's not all. You've clearly reached the peak, but you're still holding your balls, not letting you tremble one last time."

As soon as this was said, many of the pirate leaders looked at the man.

Your analogy is the best, and you're the best.

Isn't that the case?

A big pit is a big hole, and they're already at the mouth of the hole, why not go in?

This is going to suffocate them to death.

Suddenly, the man said to Youyou, "Is the king thinking of something else?"

"What is it?"

"There's a lot of gold and gold down there. Is the king afraid that we'll steal too much gold? He wants to starve Xuanwu's army to death, then secretly send his trusted men down to take all the gold. When we rushed down, there was no gold, but he said that the gold had already been taken away by Xuanwu. "

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Because it made sense.

"That won't do. What are we here for? To make a fortune. "

"Yes, yes, yes. Although the king is our leader, he can't stop us from making money."

"There's so much gold, he can't take it all for himself. His Qiu Family occupying Furious Tide City has already made everyone jealous, and now he wants all the gold?"

"Keep your voice down, if the king hears you, you're dead."

Immediately, someone said to Youyou, "The female demon isn't here, what's there to be afraid of?"

Everyone looked at him again.

Brother, you're the best out of everyone here, always hitting the nail on the head.

Everyone thought back.

Why was everyone afraid of the Qiu Family?

It was because of Qiu Yao'er, the invincible general.

She was too terrifying.

If you were the slightest bit disobedient, she would immediately bring troops to destroy you. They didn't care about loyalty at all.

On the other hand, Qiu Tianwei was more or less concerned about relationships.

Why was everyone so obedient all these years?

It was all because of Qiu Yao'er.

When this female demon came out to fight, she could win with ten thousand people, three thousand, or even a thousand.

Sometimes, she would even bring a few hundred people to fight and win.

The two Ghost Head Blades were practically invincible when they swung.

Any disobedient pirates were all minced into meat paste.

"The female demon isn't here, why don't we go talk to the king?"

"That's right, there are only four thousand people in Xuan Wu Mansion, and we have thirty thousand people. If we don't dare to fight, if we don't dare to go down, we'll be too useless."

Immediately, that person said to Youyou, "We can't just say that the king is too careful. We should say that our rations are running out, and we can't hold on for much longer. If we don't attack, I'm afraid we'll have to retreat first."

Everyone looked at him.

Brother, you're truly outstanding.

Thus, the group of pirate leaders elected this outstanding leader to talk to Qiu Tianwei.

"Brother, you're the most outstanding person here, you go talk, we'll give you a boost!"

… …

Dozens of pirate leaders came to Qiu Tianwei's tent.

The outstanding pirate leader knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, that day, in response to your Qiu Clan's annihilation order, we were in a hurry to dispatch our troops, so we didn't bring enough rations. If we don't advance and eliminate Xuanwu's garrison, I'm afraid that in a few days, our rations will run out, and we might have to retreat back home to transport rations. "

Qiu Tianwei did not speak.

The outstanding pirate leader said, "The art of war says, the first drum of courage, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted! Xuanwu leads four thousand people, and most of them are new recruits, which I see as useless. And the morale of the king's army is high, everyone is unafraid of death, and wholeheartedly seeks revenge for the young master. So in my opinion, the king has three victories, and Xuanwu has three defeats. "

Qiu Tianwei said, "Oh, tell me about it."

The outstanding pirate leader said, "My army is ten times the size of Xuanwu's, this is one victory. The king is wise and valiant, far surpassing Xuanwu, this is two victories. Our morale is like a rainbow, Xuanwu is dispirited, this is three victories. "

"So I dare to conclude that as long as the king gives the order, in less than two hours, we can kill Xuanwu's four thousand pigs and dogs."

Qiu Tianwei said indifferently, "I didn't realize before that there was such an outstanding talent like you in my army."

The outstanding pirate said, "The king is too kind, the king holds Jinshan Island in his left hand, and the ancient gold vein in his right. Your hegemony is about to be achieved, and all the talents in the world will come to join you. I only admire the king's might, and can't be considered a talent."

Qiu Tianwei said, "I let everyone surround and not attack because I have a selfish motive, I want to take the gold for myself. The demoness Chou Yao'er is not here, so everyone does not need to be too afraid of me, the Pirate King. These words were also said by you. "

As soon as these words came out, the outstanding pirate trembled and turned his head.

F * ck, who betrayed me?

Where's the loyalty of the pirates?

"Men, this person is disturbing my army's morale, drag him out and behead him!"

"Spare me, spare me, ah …"

A long scream.

The outstanding brother was beheaded, and his head was chopped off.

Many of the pirate leaders retreated, drawing a clear line with this person.

"I already said that this person's thoughts are very dangerous."

"Yes, he actually dared to question the king's wise decision, I can't stand it anymore. Even if the king doesn't kill him, I can't help but kill him."

When the outstanding brother was beheaded, there was only one thought in his mind.

So, I'm not outstanding, you guys are.

Qiu Tianwei held the bloody head in his hand and said coldly: "From now on, whoever dares to question my military orders will end up like him."

Many of the pirate leaders shrunk their necks, and kept quiet out of fear.

… ….

Qiu Tianwei knew that although he temporarily suppressed the opinions of these pirate leaders, he definitely could not suppress their greed.

Gold moved people's hearts.

It was impossible to make these pirates hold back, knowing that there was an endless amount of gold at the bottom of the pit.

Morale could only be boosted, not lost.

The next day, Qiu Tianwei ordered the pirates to fight.

Using provocation.

Thus, countless pirates pointed at Xuanwu who was at the bottom of the pit and cursed.

These were pirates.

What kind of vicious words couldn't be cursed?

What kind of filthy words couldn't be cursed?

It was simply unbearable.

Xuanwu's entire family was humiliated.

Shenlang's entire family was humiliated.

Xuanwu's wife, Su Peipei, and Shenlang's wife, Jin Mulan, became the two people who were the most humiliated by the pirates.

Three sentences were always on the bottom three.

This group of pirates simply used words to humiliate every inch of the two women's bodies.

If words were like feces and urine, the entire pit would have been buried by now.

The warriors of the Kim family at the bottom of the pit were about to explode with anger.

They didn't have much contact with Madam Count, but Jin Mulan was the leader of the family's private army, and everyone respected her like a goddess.

When talking about women in the army, they didn't hide their words. Even the Queen and the Princess dared to joke, and the private army of the Xuan Wu Mansion was no exception.

However, no one in the family's private army would ever dare to say half a word about Jin Mulan.

If anyone dared to, they would be beaten to death.

In the hearts of all the warriors of the Kim family, Jin Mulan was a pure and flawless goddess who could never be desecrated.

Although Shenlang's performance had conquered everyone, in the hearts of all the warriors, the son-in-law Shenlang was still not worthy of the goddess Mulan.

It's just that … seeing that you are so vicious and we can't afford to offend you, we reluctantly feel that you are worthy.

But now, these lowly pirates were humiliating the goddess.

These warriors of the Kim family couldn't wait to pull out their swords and rush up to fight these pirates.

Jin Zhong said, "Master, let me rush up and kill for a while. I can't stand it anymore."

Xuanwu Jin Zhuo was also furious.

In his life, the person he loved the most was his wife.

His wife was so pure and flawless. You dirty pirates dared to desecrate her like this. I can't wait to tear you into pieces.

However, Xuanwu endured it.

A little impatience would spoil a great plan.

"Lang'er, that little fox …" Jin Zhuo said angrily.

He felt that Shenlang must have guessed that this would happen, so he left early.

When the pirates saw that Xuanwu was unmoved and did not fight, they were immediately disappointed.

Not only were the pirate leaders indignant, but even the pirate soldiers were also dissatisfied.

What do you mean, Your Majesty?

Are you scared by such a big pit?

How could such a huge pit hold thirty thousand people?

Xuanwu only has less than 4,000 people, and most of them are new recruits. Countless gold is below, and you still don't dare to fight?

At this time, the snow has stopped and the sun has come out.

The snow on the countless mines below has melted a lot.

When the sun shines, the eyes are filled with golden light.

It's all gold.

They piled up into small hills one after another.

It's less than a mile, but the King doesn't dare to fight.

Too cowardly.

Is such a person qualified to be our Lord?

Chou Tianwei felt the hatred in the hearts of countless pirates.

Thus, he decided to take the provocation one step further.

Even if he can't anger Xuanwu, he can vent the anger in the hearts of the pirates and boost their morale.

But in short, he just won't go down.

I don't know if Shenlang has set a trap in the big pit, but I won't go down.

Don't even think about harming me.

Damn, such a big pit, just looking at it is inauspicious.

Wasn't it obvious that they were tricking him?

… …

What is the favorite of pirates, of course, is the bottom three.

In the afternoon, the sun is shining fiercely.

The pirates' fierce fighting style has completely upgraded.

When Uncle Xuanwu saw this, he was almost about to explode.

Chou Tianwei found a few handsome men and put them on women's clothes.

Other than Qiu Yao'er, pirates generally don't bring women to battle, because it is inauspicious. But the vast sea is extremely lonely, so many pirate leaders will bring some handsome men.

At this time, these people came in handy.

One played the role of Jin Mulan, the other played the role of Count's wife Su Peipei.

There was also a person who directly played the role of Shen Lang.

Then, the three of them were like dogs, with a rope around their necks, crawling on the ground.

"I am Su Peipei, I am so lonely, everyone come and do me!"

"I am Shen Lang, my favorite man, come and do me!"

These handsome pirates kneeled on the ground, like dogs scratching their heads coquettishly, extremely ugly.

Then, a group of pirates rushed up and tore apart their clothes, putting on an even uglier scene.

"Xuanwu, did you see that?"

"Your wife Su Peipei, is taking turns with us."

"Pretty boy Shen Lang, do you feel good from all of us?"

This ugly scene caused all the pirates to be intoxicated by it.

They temporarily suppressed their dissatisfaction towards Pirate King Chou Tianwei.

Underground, Xuanwu took out his big sword and slashed crazily.

This was going too far. This was going too far.

How dare you humiliate my wife, my daughter, and my son-in-law?

I wish I could tear you all into pieces.

From this, it could be seen how honest Jin Zhuo Count was. If it was Zhang Chong, he would not be angry at all. Instead, he would laugh in disdain.

Another day passed.

Chou Tianwei decided not to go into the pit tomorrow.

As for morale.

Didn't the pirates like to watch these dirty shows?

In that case, he might as well overdo it.

Today's show was a group of pirates ravaging Su Peipei, Shen Lang, and Jin Mulan.

Then tomorrow's show of Shen Lang being cut into a thousand pieces.

Really cut into a thousand pieces.

In any case, a rabbit's life was not worth much.

Dress him up a little, make him look like Shen Lang, then strip him naked and kneel on the ground, cut him off one by one, and put him to death.

It was guaranteed that many pirates would enjoy watching. Anyway, don't let them be bored.

Once they were bored, they would complain in their hearts.

… …

The next morning!

The prettiest rabbit was dressed up. Not to mention, he looked a bit similar to Shen Lang.

At this time, the husband who was pretending to be Shen Lang was stripped naked. He knelt on the ground and howled miserably.

"Uncle Xuanwu, Lord Father-in-law, I'm Shen Lang! Save me … Save me …"

"Wife Mulan, save me, your husband is going to be killed."

"I am Shen Lang, I deserve to die, I am lowly, I deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces …"

This rabbit thought it was just an act.

But then, the knife was really cut down.

"Ah … Ah …"

He was so scared that he peed his pants and let out a miserable howl in pain.

The surrounding pirates watched with great satisfaction.

It was as if they were really cutting Shen Lang's flesh.

"Just you wait, Shen Lang's fate will only be worse than this."

"The Crown Prince has already set his eyes on Jin Mulan. Shen Lang is unnecessary. He will really be executed by a thousand cuts."

"Now we can watch the fake Shen Lang be executed by a thousand cuts. In the future, we can watch the real Shen Lang be cut into a thousand pieces. It's so cool!"

"Castrate him first, castrate this Shen Lang."

The pirates were all clamoring.

"Xuanwu, come quickly, your son-in-law Shen Lang is going to be castrated. Aren't you going to save him?"

"Jin Mulan, your Husband is going to be castrated. Come and save him. God, your Husband's thing is so small. Can it satisfy you? Do you need our help? "

The filthy words of the pirates once again poured out in torrents.

However, someone suddenly shouted, "Everyone look, there's no one at the bottom of the pit."

Everyone was shocked.

Chou Tianwei suddenly came out and looked down the pit.

As expected!

The bottom of the pit was empty.

There was no one there.

Furthermore, all the temporary houses had been demolished.

This … .what the hell?

Xuanwu's 4000 men were clearly here yesterday. Why did they disappear today?

The entire crater was completely surrounded by them.

Did they grow wings and fly away?

Not only that, the bottom of the pit was a mess.

Vast amounts of mineral soil were exposed, and there was an uncountable amount of golden sand.

It looked like an ocean of gold.

All the pirates were willing to bet their heads that this was definitely an ancient gold vein.

There was no gold mine in the world that had such a high gold content.

How much gold was there?

Who knew?

Who knew.

The pirates could no longer hold it in.

They did not want to watch the show anymore.

The King was too cowardly. There were ten times the number of enemies, yet he did not dare to fight. In the end, they all ran away.

Even though they did not know how Xuanwu and his 4000 men ran away, they knew that they ran away.

And they must have taken away an unknown amount of gold.

Some pirates could not help but shout.

"There's not a single enemy down there. Do we not dare to go down?"

"There's gold everywhere down there. Do we not dare to take it?"

"Are we still pirates? We're just like pussies! "

Count Xuanwu's four thousand men disappeared without a trace. The pirates lost their enemies, and their mood instantly changed.

"If you have the guts, follow me down to snatch the gold."

"Snatch the gold!"

Dozens of people, hundreds of people, thousands of people all rushed into the pit.

Finally!

The situation was completely out of control.

Chou Tianwei was furious.

"No one is allowed to go down without orders. No one is allowed."

"Otherwise, we'll kill you. Kill you."

But, they could no longer suppress them.

These people were pirates, not regular soldiers.

To be able to suppress them for a few days was already very difficult.

Chou Tianwei felt a chill down his spine.

He instinctively felt danger.

Count Xuanwu's four thousand men had actually disappeared without a trace?

"Pass down the order. Do not go down the pit. Do not go down the pit."

He was famous after all.

Following his order, his 10,000 men did not dare to move. They continued to defend the camp above the pit.

"General, do we go down?" The Tang family warriors asked.

Jin Hai Earl's eldest son Tang Zong said, "Wait, let's wait and see."

Very quickly, the few hundred pirates at the front had already rushed down the road to the bottom of the pit.

They took off their clothes and tried their best to fill up the soil.

This mine was filled with gold. Looking at it, one could only see golden sand.

Actually, this was purely a visual effect.

Even though the gold content of the soil was already very shocking, but in the 100 jin of soil, there was not even half a jin of gold.

It was just that it was all fine gold sand. It looked as if it was all gold.

"Gold coins, gold coins …"

"Gold bricks, gold bricks …"

Some of the pirates discovered a shocking miracle.

The entire floor was covered in gold.

That's right, after Shen Lang refined the gold, mixed it with brass, melted it into liquid and poured it on the ground.

Actually, it was not much. Just a few thousand jin of gold and twenty thousand jin of brass.

But the visual effect was too shocking.

The ground was covered in gold.

Many pirates took out their knives to cut the gold.

Nothing happened at all.

There were no enemies, no traps.

More and more pirates rushed to the bottom of the pit and tried their best to snatch the gold.

Tang Zong could not hold it in anymore and shouted, "Rush down and snatch the gold."

Thus, the Tang family's 3000 private army rushed down and began to snatch the gold.

This time, the Pirate King Chou Tianwei's subordinates could not hold it in anymore.

The King was too useless and too careful.

There were no traps or ambushes at the bottom of the pit.

There was only gold everywhere.

It did not look like it was a hundred thousand jin, but a few hundred thousand jin?

But now that the gold was about to be snatched away, if they did not rush up, they would not even be able to get any leftovers.

My King, we are your direct subordinates.

But now there are no benefits?

Although we're your direct subordinates, we're also pirates.

"King, quickly give the order, the gold is about to be snatched away."

"Where is the ambush? Where is the trap! "

Finally, Chou Tianwei's subordinates also began to collapse.

A few hundred people left the team, a few thousand people left the team.

Finally, more than 10,000 pirates also rushed down the pit and began to snatch the gold.

Xuanwu's 4000 people were already gone.

There were no enemies.

Then the former comrades became enemies, you snatched more, I snatched less.

More and more people rushed to the bottom of the pit.

Finally, more than 30,000 pirate coalition army all rushed down.

The entire bottom of the pit, with an area of more than 100,000 square meters, was now densely packed with pirates.

Like a dirty tide, they covered the entire bottom of the pit, densely packed, innumerable.

There were indeed no traps, no ambushes.

But these pirates had already begun to kill each other.

In front of gold, what brotherhood and loyalty was there?

The Pirate King Chou Tianwei knew that if he did not go down to maintain order, if he did not suppress it, there would be a big mess.

When he returned, he would start a massacre.

Chou Tianwei was furious.

Then, he also rushed down and shouted, "City Lord's Mansion guards, stand up and maintain order."

"Everyone who snatches gold, hand it over and distribute it according to proportion."

"If there is a private fight, kill without mercy!"

Under the suppression of the elite guards led by Chou Tianwei, more than 30,000 pirates finally restored order.

Chou Tianwei reached out and grabbed a handful of ore.

Sure enough, it was densely packed with golden sand.

Looking at the ground, there was indeed a layer of gold, but the color was a little red.

But he did not care.

He was in a state of incomparable excitement.

Ancient Gold Vein.

The real Ancient Gold Vein.

My Chou family is about to rise.

My grand hegemony is about to be achieved.

Sure enough, there was no trap, no ambush.

Shenlang!

I overestimated you.

You are only so-so.

Xuanwu, I don't care which secret passage you escaped through.

But, you are trapped on this island, you can't get out of the sea.

You still can't escape.

I can still annihilate your entire Kim Clan.

Shenlang, you dare to kill my son.

I will definitely castrate you into eighteen pieces, and then torture you to death, torture you to death!

However!

Just at this time!

"Boom boom boom boom …"

A series of violent explosions.

The path that spiraled upwards in the mine was blown up.

There were four or five gaps, each of which was tens of meters wide.

The retreat was cut off.

As a result, the entire pit became a huge patio.

And it was a ninety degree cliff, a full fifty to sixty meters deep.

Once the road was cut off, these pirates would not be able to go up and would be completely trapped in the pit.

Chou Tianwei's heart trembled.

He looked at all of this in disbelief.

What kind of weapon was this?

The power was so shocking. This was a road made of stone, but it was instantly smashed into pieces.

Of course it was gunpowder.

Shenlang did not find any saltpeter mines, so it was unable to produce gunpowder on a large scale. It was not enough for a regular war.

But it was enough to blow up the road and the pit.

"Prepare to fight!"

Chou Tianwei pulled out his saber.

Tens of thousands of pirates were shocked and pulled out their sabers, preparing to fight.

Chou Tianwei was bewildered.

So what if you cut off the road? So what if you trapped us in this pit?

You only have four thousand people, how can you defeat more than thirty thousand of us?

And just at this time!

Chou Tianwei's scalp suddenly went numb, feeling a fatal danger.

"Boom boom boom …"

An earth-shattering explosion.

Compared to the previous explosion, it was several times more powerful.

On the cliff of the huge pit, a huge hole that was more than ten meters wide was suddenly blasted out.

The entire ground was shaking.

Countless splashes flew out at any time.

But, so what?

The power was astonishing, but it could not kill anyone.

"Rumble rumble rumble …"

Immediately after, monstrous seawater gushed out from the huge hole and poured down towards the big pit.

This big pit was dozens of meters underground, about three hundred meters away from the sea.

Shenlang used most of the gunpowder to blow up a large passage, connecting the entire pit to the sea.

Only the last layer of stone wall was left unexploded.

When Chou Tianwei and all the pirates reached the bottom of the big pit, they blew up the last layer of stone wall.

Immediately, monstrous seawater surged out.

Pirates, being drowned in the sea, wasn't that fate?

At the same time!

An earth-shattering war drum sounded.

Xuanwu's four thousand soldiers suddenly appeared at the top of the big pit, in the middle of the pirate camp.

Shocking seawater poured in.

Crazily drowning the huge pit.

Countless pirates fled in all directions, frantically climbing up the cliff.

Xuanwu roared: "Chou Tianwei, you're finished, today is your end!"

… ….
