Chapter 1557 Corpse!
"Woo"
The naval fleet docked next to the pier sounded a horn sound, and then a dull drum sound resounded on both sides of the bank. Amidst the drum sound, pieces of sail slowly rose from the mast.
Qiu Xinggong’s eyes are about to burst!
Mother!
How dare you ignore someone's request and want to sail away?
In anger, Qiu Xinggong waved his hand and shouted sternly: "Get off your horse and swim over for me. Don't let a boat go!"
After saying that, he reined the horse hard with both hands, and the horse neighed loudly, exerted all its hooves, and ran towards Su Dingfang's boat.
Su Dingfang's flagship had been docked at the pier. At this moment, the anchor was raised and the sail was raised. The ship's side had just left the pier for more than a foot, but he saw the horse under Qiu Xinggong's crotch was unusually fast. It ran to the pier and jumped up, with all four hooves flying in the air. In an instant, he jumped to the deck in front of Su Dingfang, almost knocking Su Dingfang to the ground.
The huge weight of the war horse coupled with the forward force of flying over, if it collides with it, the bones and tendons will be broken easily, maybe it will be a ball of meat...
Su Dingfang was startled, took two steps back quickly, pointed at Qiu Xinggong and shouted: "Is General Qiu crazy? You are the commander of the Royal Navy, and you were ordered to come to Chang'an to transport rice. Are you not afraid of being so rampant and arrogant?" Isn’t it allowed by military law? ”
"Go to hell!"
Qiu Xinggong cursed angrily, dismounted, and pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist with one backhand. The next moment, the sharp blade was placed on Su Dingfang's neck. His face was ferocious, his eyes were spitting fire, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't use bullshit." Military law scares me! What happened? Did Governor Su do something heinous, and he was afraid that I would find out the evidence, so he rushed to escape by boat? "
The sharp blade was attached to his body, but Su Dingfang showed no fear at all. He glared at Qiu Xinggong angrily and said sternly: "General, don't make a mistake! If I disembark now, I will not care about your past achievements. Let's forget about today's matter!" ”
Qiu Xinggong glared angrily, with a cold murderous intention in his eyes. He exerted slight force with his big hand, and the sharp blade had already cut the skin on Su Dingfang's neck. A trace of blood gushes out and slowly flowed along the bright blade.
"If you dare to make any noise again, I will give up my official robe and title and kill you with one knife!"
Su Dingfang took a deep breath and closed his mouth.
He is not afraid of death and has the fearless style of a soldier. Moreover, even if Qiu Xinggong puts the steel knife on his neck at this moment, with his skill, he can still fight back and knock Qiu Xinggong down. However, doing so requires extremely high risk. The risk was huge. He could see that Qiu Xinggong in front of him was already on the verge of becoming violent and losing his mind. It would be unwise to use his own strength to challenge the opponent's bottom line now.
How unjust would it be if Qiu Xinggong sacrificed his life and lost his life?
But...why?
Su Dingfang was stabbed in the neck by Qiu Xinggong's steel sword. A group of naval officers threw their swords into the air, unsheathed their swords and cocked their arrows. They stood behind Su Dingfang and stared at Qiu Xinggong eagerly. As long as the opponent showed the slightest sign of slackness, they would immediately pounce on him. Cut him into pieces with knives and pierce his heart with thousands of arrows!
Not to mention the general, Qiu Xinggong's behavior at this moment is still to provoke the entire navy. Su Dingfang is the commander of the navy. According to the military order, all the navy soldiers can kill him at this moment. Not only will he not be punished at all, but it will be a great achievement. !
The flagship fell silent, and the rest of the navy's warships were leaderless for a while. The soldiers brought by Qiu Xinggong swam on board one by one with red eyes, arbitrarily disarmed them, and then searched the ship!
If the main force of the navy is to fight soldiers, how can it be afraid of a mere few hundred infantry? However, this trip was just to transport rice and a secret mission. Therefore, Su Dingfang did not bring with him any of the navy soldiers across the seven seas. He only summoned some auxiliary troops to transport the rice by boat. Half of them fell to the ground after being confronted by the fierce Youwuhou guardsmen, and the rest remained silent. In addition, they had not seen the commander's flag and order for a while, so they could only avoid his attack for a while and let the searches on and off the boat...
< br>
On the flagship, Su Dingfang stared at Qiu Xinggong and said slowly: "The general has always respected the military achievements of the general, but the general's behavior today really puzzles the general. I wonder if the general can give the general an explanation?"
Qiu Xinggong said bitterly: "Explain? Who the hell are you? You're just a loser behind Li Jing, do you deserve to have to explain to someone?"
Su Dingfang frowned and kept silent.
The other party's behavior was too abrupt. He coerced a naval commander and then took control of a naval warship. How should I explain to His Majesty afterwards?
Even if Qiu Xinggong is the general of the Sixteenth Guards, how can he be merciful in front of military law?
What has made this man crazy...
Time seemed to freeze, and both sides on the flagship fell silent.
There was already chaos on the shore.
After a while, a naval warship broke away from the fleet and sailed slowly upstream to the side of the flagship. The Youwuhou guards on the ship stood on the bow and shouted sadly to Qiu Xinggong: "Commander! Found it. ! The young master’s body was found! ”
Su Dingfang's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Qiu Xinggong in shock: "That's not right..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiu Xinggong was caught off guard and kicked him in the lower abdomen. He flew backwards like a cloud and mist, and fell to the deck with a "peng" sound. His stomach convulsed and he shrank into a ball.
When the subordinates around him saw that Su Dingfang was out of Qiu Xinggong's control, they immediately waved their swords and arrows, waiting for the general to rush forward and capture Qiu Xinggong.
"Stop!"
Su Dingfang endured the severe pain and shouted loudly to stop his subordinates' behavior. The pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
If he heard correctly just now, did the soldier say that he found the body of some young master on the boat?
Could it be Qiu Shenji's body?
How is this possible!
Enduring the severe pain, Su Dingfang climbed up and saw Qiu Xinggong stepping on the side of the ship, rising into the air like a big bird, and leaping onto the side of the warship.
Su Dingfang ordered his soldiers to set up the springboard, and he followed closely and boarded the ship.
A naked body was taken out from the bilge by the soldiers of Youwu Houwei and placed gently on the deck. Qiu Xinggong let out a sad howl, rushed forward, knelt beside the body, and hugged the body. The already stiff corpse cried loudly.
The soldiers of Youwu Houwei were also in tears, looking sad and angry.
For a time, a sad atmosphere filled the entire river...
Su Dingfang didn't feel much sadness in his heart. At most, he felt some sympathy. Qiu Xinggong had always been cruel in temperament. He had done countless cruel things such as torturing prisoners, killing people, ripping out hearts, and eating livers. There was reincarnation in the way of heaven, and he had done it to the weak in the past. His cruelty is still being inflicted on his son, which is the so-called cycle of retribution.
He took a step forward, ignoring the angry glares of You Wuhou's guards, and took a closer look at the corpse. There was no doubt that it was indeed Qiu Shenji...
But Qiu Shenji died on the Xijin ferry in Yangzhou, so why did his body appear on the navy ship?
And...
Su Dingfang's eyes narrowed and he shouted sharply: "Where are the soldiers on the ship?"
Each warship is guarded by soldiers ranging from a dozen to more than twenty. However, except for the trusted guards who followed him aboard the ship, there are soldiers from Youwu Houwei on the deck. Where are the soldiers on this ship? ?
Could it be that...the angry guards of Marquis Youwu killed him after Qiu Shenji's body was discovered?
A captain of Youwu Houwei said angrily: "When these soldiers saw that the murder of the young master was exposed, they all committed suicide! Hum, do you think that death is the end? The revenge of the young master must be paid with blood!"
< br>
The other soldiers of Youwu Houwei were also furious and shouted: "Young master's revenge must be paid with blood!"
Su Ding's face changed drastically. He hurriedly entered the cabin and saw that people were lying in various places lying in the cabin. He leaned forward to check and found that they all died of poisoning. Their faces were black and frightening, and the bodies were soft and still smelled of warmth. Apparently he had just died.
Listening to Qiu Xinggong's wailing outside the cabin and the angry shouts of You Wuhou's guards, Su Dingfang's body felt cold...
Who killed Qiu Shenji?
Why put the body on the navy's ship and blame it on the navy?
All the clues are broken!
More importantly, how did Qiu Xinggong know that Qiu Shenji's body was hidden on the navy's ship?
Who tipped him off?
These dead navy soldiers were obviously inseparable from the whole thing. It was impossible for someone to carry these people and get Qiu Shenji's body onto the ship without anyone noticing. However, were these soldiers killed by poisoning, or were they killed by others? A collective suicide by taking poison?
It would be fine if they were silenced, but if they committed suicide collectively by taking poison... then they would be dead soldiers!
Two dozen dead soldiers who could be easily sacrificed to blame others... What kind of strength can this person possess?
On the other hand, he could easily sacrifice more than twenty dead soldiers in order to put the blame on others... What kind of terrifying strength does such a master have?
Su Dingfang realized that he was in a huge trouble!
It's not just him, I'm afraid the real purpose of the person behind the scenes is the actual controller of this navy - Fang Jun... (End of this chapter)
