Gang leader Guo gave an order, and all his men lit torches one after another and drove boats to set fires everywhere.
After a while, a raging fire broke out on the sandbank.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, but the fire in Bailusha illuminated the river surface as bright as day.
Guo Donglin watched the flames devour everything on the sandbank, feeling like he had won a battle.
"Gang leader, should we drop anchor and wait for dawn before returning?" the subordinate asked for instructions.
The return journey is against the current, and the area around Bailusha is a dangerous shoal. Even if it is a five-masted sand ship, it is in danger of running aground if it carries too many people.
Guo Donglin rarely came out for air, so he nodded and said: "I'm just enjoying the bonfire for a night, and we'll go back tomorrow morning."
"Oh, if I had known better, I wouldn't have been in a hurry and burned down the shack. It's still more comfortable than sleeping on the boat." The subordinate said as a hindsight.
Guo Donglin's expression was stagnant, and he cursed in his heart, saying now, what the hell have you been doing?
Gang leader Guo said sternly: "Japanese pirates are just like animals. How can we, a dignified person, live in a beast's lair and be contaminated with bad luck for nothing?"
"You are worthy of being the leader of the gang. Your level is high! It's really high!" There was another wave of flattery from all the subordinates.
But Guo Donglin was in a daze as he looked at the night sky illuminated red by the fire.
He seemed to see Mrs. Shen in a white dress and snow-white dress in the purple-red clouds, smiling tamely at him.
Thinking of this, Gang Leader Guo's heart felt hot and he wished he could put on his wings and fly back to Sansha.
??~~
As soon as the sky cleared the next day, Guo Gang Leader, who was so excited that he had not slept all night, ordered to pull anchor and return to sail.
On the return trip, the speed was much slower because it was against the current.
However, because they set off early, the fleet finally arrived at the dock in Haisha Town at noon.
The gang members on the pier cheered when they saw the gang leader returning safely with the fleet. Someone immediately went to town to report the news.
After a while, Elder Niu and Ma and Mrs. Shen hurriedly came to greet them with a group of hall masters.
At this time, the fleet had just docked, and the gang leader¡¯s boat had also docked on the pier.
Although he didn¡¯t sleep all night, Gang Leader Guo was still in high spirits. The tiger-striped cloak fluttered in the river breeze, his hand rested on the hilt of his sword, and his whole body was filled with the complacency of returning home in triumph.
The process and results of the expedition are not important. As long as victory can be claimed, it is undoubtedly victory.
This is his first expedition since he temporarily took over the position of gang leader, and he must win.
"Welcome to the triumphant return of the gang leader!" Mrs. Shen and the second elder led the crowd to pay homage.
"Under the great power of our Shachuan Gang, a few Japanese pirates fled in the wind." Gang leader Guo said with a look of regret but pride: "Brothers have cleared the nest of thieves in the courtyard. I hope they will never dare to approach me Sansha again. .¡±
"The gang leader is mighty!" Everyone shouted in unison, and even Mrs. Shen's eyes seemed to have changed when she looked at him.
This made Guo Donglin so beautiful. These guys were not the sycophants around him. They had always been critical of him, but now that they no longer had the hope of that brat, they finally learned to say nice things.
¡®You bitch is really a bitch. ¡¯ Gang Leader Guo secretly spat, and while walking off the boat, he glanced at the people who came to greet him and asked strangely: ¡°Where¡¯s Guo Qilin, why didn¡¯t you come?¡±
"Oh, Gang Leader, I'm so sorry." Elder Ma quickly apologized and said with a smile:
"Yesterday was the old man's birthday, so I invited the hall masters to have a few drinks in the evening. Hall Master Guo is very drunk, and he must not have woken up yet."
Guo Donglin nodded. He still knew the urine properties of his younger brother.
??With no one to watch, and a chance to drink heavily, it would be weird not to get drunk.
Then he asked a little strangely: "How many are Guo Xiaosi and the others?"
Guo Donglin is referring to the several hall leaders he promoted.
"We are planning to hold a celebration banquet at the Sihai Hall to celebrate the victory of the gang leader. I thought it would be good for the gang leader to come back in the dark, but I didn't expect that the gang leader would make a triumphant return at noon."
Elder Ma hurriedly explained: "Fourth Master and the others are busy making arrangements at the helm. Their feet are not touching the ground, and they are in a mess."
"Haha, if it's chaotic, just be a little chaotic. It's lively." Guo Donglin suppressed his doubts again and had no time to think about it because he saw an eight-carriage sedan.
That can only be used by the gang leader during the ceremony of taking over the throne and worshiping ancestors. He is an acting gang leader with a foreign surname. He has always been qualified to sit in a four-legged sedan chair, and his butt has never touched the navy blue gold velvet gang leader's sedan chair.
Guo Donglin suppressed his butt that was about to move, waved his hand and said falsely: "Let me sit hereYou can't do that, can you? "
"Why can't you do it?" Elder Ma immediately pressed down the sedan pole, and Elder Niu opened the sedan curtain and said:
"The gang leader has worked hard for our Shachuan Gang, and he has been eating and drinking all night, and he has returned in triumph today. Why can't he sit in the gang leader's sedan chair?!"
Even Mrs. Shen nodded and said with a smile: "Of course you can sit down."
The gang of bastards around Guo Donglin were naturally very happy - they felt that this represented the conservative forces who finally recognized the gang leader and would no longer cause trouble to the gang leader.
This way, the gang leader can free his hands and feet to promote them
Under everyone¡¯s ¡®persuasion¡¯, Guo Donglin finally suppressed his joy and said:
"Then I would be disrespectful."
After saying that, he bent down and sat in the sedan chair, feeling so comfortable that he almost started to hum.
This is where my gang leader should sit.
"Get up the sedan!" Elder Niu mooed, and the bowls, cymbals, gongs, drums and suonas rang out.
Not only Gang Leader Guo, but also his gang of sycophants who accompanied him on the expedition were all invited to serve as bearers If the number of bearers was not enough, they tied the chairs to two bamboo poles, and the effect was the same.
Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, eight bearers, all covered in flesh and bones, lifted up the sedan. The sturdy bearers at the back also picked up the sedan chairs one after another.
Following the players who played, they moved in the town.
Along the way, colorful flags fluttered and firecrackers shook the sky. The gang members and family members set up incense burners and flowers and cheered to welcome him.
Guo Donglin only felt that this was the most glorious and proud day in his life. Even that day when he took over the position of gang leader, he was not as happy as he is today.
He even temporarily forgot his evil thoughts about Mrs. Shen, and just relying on the joyful sound and drums made him feel as if he were in heaven!
Happy time is always so short. In the blink of an eye, Gang Leader Guo's sedan entered the main helm of the Shachuan Gang.
"Hey, what's going on?" After entering the courtyard, Gang Leader Guo opened the sedan curtain, raised his head and looked around. He saw that the courtyard was deserted, and there were no banquet tables and chairs at all.
He couldn¡¯t help but asked curiously: ¡°Isn¡¯t there a banquet? Where are they?¡±
"They are all waiting for you in the underworld!" Elder Ma finally couldn't hold himself back and laughed ferociously.
The closed door of Sihai Hall opened with a crash, and countless gang members with white scarves on their heads rushed out, holding swords and guns, and surrounded the sedan chair of Guo Donglin and others.
The bearers also got off the sedan one after another, took out the weapons hidden on their bodies, and placed eight daggers on Guo Donglin's neck.
"Don't move!"
"Don't move!"
