The iron-armored ship is one of the three major ship types of the imperial navy. It covers the surface with iron and stone on the outside, just like a tortoise shell, and the hull is built with cannons inside. A single iron-armored ship has no less than a hundred cannons, and its firepower is not weak, but it consumes a lot of money. With the financial and manpower of the imperial court, only a dozen ships were built.

These four giants are coming in waves with great momentum, not knowing their enemies and friends. Fortunately, the Shaliao Tower ship had already broken through the Centipede Ship blockade. With its speed alone, there are few ships in the world that can reach it. Moreover, the only weakness of this iron-armored ship is that it is quite slow and can only be used to attack on water. Therefore, Wu Zhang and others were busy with their cannons. The cannons roared a few times, and the people who were still raging on the Centipede Ship whistled and retreated one after another.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Xia Ziyi stared at Zhou Gan with a sinister look. She carried Chen Si and Arui, who were seriously injured, and fell into the river with one jump. She was rescued by several small boats that had been prepared.

"Zhou Gan, today's kindness, the four bandits on the sea remember it, and they will be rewarded in the future!"

Zhou Gan stood with a sword, without saying anything for a long time, then staggered and fell on the board, whining in his heart, "What a hang scared him away!"

Zhou Gan is not a god. He had consumed a lot of energy when the pirates of Jinghai King attacked the ship. In addition, he suffered serious injuries in the decisive battle with the four bandits on the sea. After all, the enemy is not a crooked person, but a big bandit on the sea that has been traversed by the West Sea for many years. His martial arts are also first-class in the world. In terms of mind and means, he is even more powerful. Zhou Gan can win, because of the care and disdain of the four bandits, because of the unexpected swordsmanship, and because of the magic of magic.

Why not use flying swords? Zhou Gan is not a real god after all, and it takes a lot of energy to use flying swords. This period is enough for the Four Knights to kill him seven or eight times. As for the talisman law, it is even slower to cast spells, so there is no need to mention it.

"Young Master Zhou, is this the imperial ship?" Wu Zhang asked, his attitude changed suddenly and he became even more respectful. After all, the strong people in this world are respected.

"Don't worry about them, let's go." Zhou Gan shook his head and said. He was unwilling to establish a relationship with the imperial court unless it was necessary. This is also common sense that people in the world have. Moreover, the time when these iron-armored ships arrived was so coincidental, but the fool didn't believe it.

The nearest iron-armored ship was only a hundred feet away. Both sides were silent in a tacit understanding. Zhou Gan squinted his eyes and noticed that there was a scar on the skull of the man who was the leader of the iron-armored ship. The scar man held a single-tube bronze telescope in his hand. He seemed to have noticed Zhou Gan and nodded.

Zhou Gan returned the gift, and the two armored ships in front passed through the Shaliao Tower ship and attacked the pirates together with the two armored ships coming from behind.

Suddenly, the sound of cannons rumbled, and the flames shone on the river. These imperial warships were full of fire. In addition, the morale of the pirates under the King of Jinghai was low, and they quickly sank more than a dozen centipede ships, leaving less than ten left to escape in a panic.

"Sir! Why didn't you..." an adjutant couldn't help asking. "If we annihilate these people in the Jianghu Lake, at least we will destroy the vitality of the Jianghu Lake for ten years, it will be very helpful for our future plans!"

The scar man shook his head and said regretfully: "Now the government and the public are staring at this treasure of the First Emperor. If this group of people in the martial arts world are very unfavorable to our next plan. Let it go first, and there will be opportunities in the future!"

The sunset is set, the jade rabbit rises eastward, and the Tongtian River at night is like a tamed beast, slowly narrowing its eyes. The water speed is slow and gentle. However, on the Shalia Tower, there are bright lights, wine glasses collide, shouting, and joking, as if the fight during the day does not have any impact on everyone.

But there were many fewer people. There were originally a total of 46 people on the boat, but now there are only about 30 people left, each of whom was injured. Fortunately, these people no longer cared about their own life and death, let alone other people's lives. Instead, they won one game during the day and their morale was quite high.

There were about twenty people at the banquet, all of whom were not injured or were slightly injured, but there were also three or two drunken guys who were so addicted to their lives to bring their seriously injured bodies to enjoy the food.

The wine is an aged flower carving, and it is a private treasure of the Dragon King of the West Sea. The wine tastes mellow and has a soft texture. The dishes are a top-notch dish. Various treasures of sea delicacies are served like flowing water. The sea treasures of patterned shrimps are as big as a boy's arm, shellfish as big as a bowl, crystal shark fins are as smooth as powder, sea cucumbers, frogs, and scallops are rare treasures in the Middle Earth. These people in the Jianghu eat the mouths of oil. If Zhou Gan is here, he will have a big talk and eat it very much, but he frowned on the deck and stared at the river water, not knowing what he was thinking.

The court, the King of Jinghai, the inner ghost, the unknown treasure of the Emperor of Qin, the strange fog... These things are enough for Zhou Gan to exhaust his brain and have no appetite anymore. His group of people are already secret chess, but now they seem to be known to everyone? People are in the world, and they really can't help themselves! Zhou Gan sighed helplessly.

"What are you thinking?" Qi Qiaoer smiled and was about to burrow into Zhou Gan's arms.

Zhou Gan grabbed Qi Qiaoer's hand expressionlessly and said, "I didn't bring any money today."

"Oh~" Qi Qiaoer suddenly felt disappointed and said, "You are the second best swordsman in the world, how could you not bring any money?"

"I don't remember that I have the title of the No. 2 Master of Swordsman, and please stay away from me. Don't think that I let you go in Chang'an back then, but now you have nothing to do. I remember clearly that you swear to never steal for the rest of your life. What's the result? In recent years, the reputation of female thieves has become more and more popular. You have to think about me! Who promised you to release you in front of Liushangmen?" Zhou Gan sighed, regretting the decision he made back then. If it weren't for his own work for the Ministry of Justice over the years, Liushangmen might have arrested him as an accomplice.

"Tsk! The "Food Sutra" I gave you is also one of the thieves. I haven't seen you in the past few years and I've been back!"

"That can't be confused!" Zhou Gan said righteously: "This is a rare treasure. What are the uses of these ordinary people who don't know how to cook? Such treasures are naturally the ones with virtue!"

Qi Qiaoer rolled her eyes with a good look, "Why do you like cooking so much? How good is it to be a chef!"

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Zhou Gan sighed and thought to himself that he finally met a confidant, "I think so too, the master won't let you do this!"

"You said, if we can really get the Qin Emperor treasure this time, how much can I get?" Qi Qiaoer came over and her eyes were about to turn into the shape of a ingot.

"What do you want so much money?" Zhou Gan was puzzled: "The money you stole is enough for you to spend eight lifetimes!"

Qi Qiaoer turned her mouth softly, "You don't understand. For women, money is never enough to spend. Tingyu Pavilion's most expensive rouge costs 1,000 taels of silver per box, and the most comfortable braised brocade costs 500 taels of silver per pair, red hairpin, bracelets, shoes, food, drinks, use, and maintenance, and that doesn't cost any money. Do you think everyone has a rich master like you?"

"My food and clothing cost for half a year is not as good as the box of rouge you bought!" Zhou Gan grinned.

"That's not..."

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the boat. Zhou Gan was stunned, and then suddenly ran towards the place where the screaming was made. Qi Qiaoer paused and followed her. She turned the stairs and suddenly saw her elder brother Wang Hu was about to rush up. She had no time to think about it. Zhou Gan asked quickly: "Brother Hu, who did you hear the voice just now?"

"I don't know! But it was probably coming from the third floor!" Wang Hu frowned.

Zhou Gan's feeling of anxiety became more and more obvious. Since he knew there was a traitor on the ship, his spirit was tense and he was always worried that someone would be a ghost from it. Unexpectedly, this premonition turned out to be true.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them rushed to the third floor. Zhou Gan remembered that several seriously injured people from the martial arts world were cultivating here. When he saw someone coming downstairs, a rough voice came from the upstairs: "Who is here?"

"I Zhou Gan!" Zhou Gan heard the voice of sumo wrestler Shi Si, and felt a little relieved, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"It's the madam Hu, you'd better watch it yourself." Shi Si hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"It's the fourth wing room on the right."

The fourth door had been pushed open, and the faint light seemed to reflect blood.

When Zhou Gan entered the door, a strong smell of blood came to his face and immediately took a breath.

The bed was covered with blood, and little blood dripped along the golden silk Baique brocade to the ground, and a female corpse was vaguely lying inside.

"Miss Hu was originally naked, so I covered it with this quilt." Mr. Lou Yuxiao, the head of Kongtong, said with a crutch. During the daytime sea battle, his calves were cut off by stone bullets and wood chips, and his blood was flowing continuously. The old man's physique was no better than that of a young man, and he didn't like the excitement, so he stayed on the third floor.

"I live next door to Madam Hu. I was planning to go downstairs to ask for some wine, but I didn't expect that I heard a scream as soon as I went out and rushed in. As a result--" The sturdy Shi Si also sighed.

There was another person in the house, Lin Xiaofeng, a master of the younger generation in the world. He usually likes to hold a fan. His own creation of the Shaking Moon Sword is also awesome, but his face is pale and there are traces of water droplets on his forehead. He seems to be frightened by the scene in the brocade quilt.

Zhou Gan's heart sank, without avoiding suspicion, slowly lifted a corner of the brocade quilt, and blood suddenly surged into his head, like a wild beast named Angry was about to swallow him.

Mrs. Hu's body was covered with fresh scars and bruises, and the flesh on the scars was rolled out by hooks. Zhou Gan knew that this was a torture that was popular recently in the world, called the "Mandarin duck hook knife." The knife was covered with dense small hooks. If it was cut into the human body and then brought out, it would bring out a large piece of flesh. Especially on the two peaks that Mrs. Hu was proud of, they almost turned into black holes in the flesh. As for the lower body, it was even cut open...

The swordsman's hands never trembled, but Zhou Gan trembled and closed the brocade quilt at this moment, watching Madam Hu's eyes dug out and her distorted and mutated face. For the first time, she was so strong that she wanted to kill someone, or she was no longer a human being.
