"Thank you, thank you for this young man, thanks to your help, we can escape, otherwise not only will our property be damaged today, but I am afraid that my life will be difficult to preserve, thank you Shaoxia. www.biquge.info"After the water bandits withdrew, the steward came over to thank Xiahou Zheng, with a grateful look on his face, "By the way, I haven't asked the young man's surname yet?"

Xiahou Zheng returned the salute and said modestly: "Don't dare to be, in Xia Xiahou Zheng, these water bandits have done all the bad things, for the harm of one party, since they have met, how can they not care, Your Excellency does not have to be so polite, and this is not the power of the next person, or thanks to the concerted efforts of the rest of the guards, this can repel the water bandits." ”

"No matter what, Xiahou Shaoxia saved us, this is an indisputable fact, my surname is Yang, Shaoxia can call me Yang Steward. Now that I have just repelled the bandits, I am going to arrange for them to sail as soon as possible and deal with the big and small things on the ship, so I will not accompany the young man, if the young man has something, just tell them directly, I will order them. After Steward Yang finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

"Steward, please!"

Steward Yang saluted Xiahou Zheng again, and then walked away to direct those people to do things.

After a few hours, the boat finally reached the shore, and the journey was calm and there was no one to make trouble.

Xiahou was taking Ping'er to lead his horse and preparing to go to the nearest city to rest.

"Xiahou Shaoxia, please stay. The steward chased after them with a few men and stopped them.

"Is there anything else in charge?" Xia Hou was stopping, and said suspiciously.

"Shaoxia saved us and helped us a lot, we have nothing to repay Shaoxia, a little silver tael, just make a coil for Shaoxia, and please don't refuse Shaoxia. Steward Yang took a package from a servant and handed it to Xiahou Zheng.

Xiahou Zheng looked at Steward Yang and took the package, "Then I will thank Steward Yang, if there is something to do, I will not work to steward him, and I will leave, and there will be a period later." ”

"There will be a date later!"

Xiahou was taking Ping'er all the way forward, until he couldn't see the merchant ship behind him, Xiahou was seeing that Ping'er wanted to speak and stopped, so he said to Ping'er: "What's the matter, Ping'er, just ask if you have something." ”

Ping'er hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "Childe does things, he has his own son's reason, Ping'er doesn't dare to ask." ”

"Silly girl, just say something, I won't blame you, just say it. ”

“…… Didn't Childe say that this kind of thing of helping others is not rewarded, and those people used to give it to Childe, and Childe didn't want it. Ping'er hesitated for a while, but finally gritted her teeth.

“…… Well, I didn't want those people to be paid because they were all poor families and didn't have anything of their own, so what should they do if they gave us something? As for this Yang steward, at first glance, he is a rich man, of course he wants his things, and the other party's meaning is also obvious, if we accept those things, they will not owe us anything in the future. Xia Hou shook the package in his hand, "But they are really stingy, they saved so many of them, and they only had this silver tael." ”

"Ah, how can they do this, can there be such a thing as kindness that can be measured in money?...... I don't mean Childe, I mean ......" Thinking that Xiahou was saying that they were stingy, Ping'er hurriedly changed her words.

"In the eyes of some people, money can solve everything!" Xia Hou was pouting, he actually only gave two hundred taels, didn't he see that his two horses added up to more than one hundred taels, looking at their appearance, they thought that they had taken a lot of advantage for themselves, it was really stingy.

Ping'er: "......"

Xiahou kicked the horse's belly and sped up, "Okay, don't think about that, hurry up, let's go eat, have a good night's rest today, and continue to hurry tomorrow." ”

Restaurants.

"Xiao Er, put on a pot of good tea, two catties of beef, and a few side dishes. Xia Hou found a table by the window and sat down, and greeted Xiao Er.

Casually glanced around, there were some ordinary business travelers, a few people dressed as Jianghu people, but they didn't look particularly powerful, only a big man who was drinking alone, Xiahou Zheng always felt familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that he had never seen it.

After looking at it again and again, Xiahou was sure that he didn't know him, so he stopped caring about him and concentrated on destroying food.

Halfway through the meal, several beggars came in, walked to the man's table, saluted the big man, whispered a few words, the big man waved his hand, and they withdrew, and the big man looked at the wine jar and continued to drink.

Xiahou thought about it and walked over, "This brother Tai, I want to ask Brother Tai a question, and I also ask Brother Tai to give advice." ”

Dahan put down the wine bowl, "If Your Excellency wants to ask anything, just ask, I will definitely know everything." ”

"Brother Tai is Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang?"

Qiao Feng looked at him in surprise, "Your Excellency knows Qiao?

Xiahou Zheng was not surprised that Qiao Feng found out, if he couldn't find it, then he would be a hell, "I haven't seen Qiao Gang Leader before, I just saw those beggar gang disciples are quite respectful to Brother Tai, plus it is rumored that Qiao Gang Leader has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly body, a heroic posture, good drinking, and can't go without alcohol every day, it is quite consistent to see Brother Tai in Xia, so I dare to make a guess." ”

Qiao Feng boldly poured a bowl of wine for Xiahou Zheng, "Since we met, it is fate, let's drink a bowl together, please!" Qiao Feng picked up his bowl of wine, invited Xiahou Zheng for a moment, and then killed it all in one go.

Xiahou Zheng didn't drink the wine poured by Qiao Feng, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Qiao Gang Leader is not only a hero in the world, but also a hero in wine. Zai also wanted to have a drink with Brother Qiao, but unfortunately, my father was not allowed to drink in Xia, and he never drank in Xia, and if Qiao Gang Leader knew who Zai Xia was, he would definitely not please drink in Xia, and maybe he would be killed on the spot. ”

Qiao Feng put down the wine bowl and arched his hand: "Oh, Qiao wants to know who Your Excellency is?"

Xiahou Zheng said with an unpredictable smile: "In Xiaxia, Hou Zheng, a lonely and unknown person, I wonder if Gang Master Qiao has ever heard of it?"

Qiao Feng's complexion did not change, he still drank the wine calmly, and did not react to the name Xiahou Zheng in the slightest, it seemed that this name was not as good as the wine in front of him to him, "Is it the Xiahou Zheng who killed all my beggars to help the third-rate master of the Daming Dividing Helm and the branch hall master?"

Xia Houzheng nodded, "It is here, Qiao Gang Leader wants to avenge the disciples in the gang?"

Qiao Feng suddenly laughed, "How can I, Qiao Feng, be the kind of indiscriminate person, Xiahou Gongzi can remove a big tumor for my beggar gang, it's too late for me to thank you, how can I take revenge on you, Xiahou Gongzi is too worried, I still want to invite Xiahou brother to have a drink, but I regret that my brother doesn't drink." ”

Xiahou Zheng: "Then thank you Qiao Gang Leader for being magnanimous, otherwise it wouldn't be very easy to be chased and killed by the No. 1 gang in the rivers and lakes, speaking of which, I've been living in fear these days, and now I can sleep with peace of mind." ”

Qiao Feng drank a bowl of wine, "Xiahou Gongzi laughed, but although Sun Liang's character is inferior, his martial arts are a real second-rate master, since Xiahou Gongzi can kill him and not leak others, his martial arts are also first-class, why don't we have a fight?"

Xiahou Zheng shook his head and refused: "In Xia martial arts is only third-rate, killing them is just a trick, and the name of "North Qiao Feng, South Murong", since Xia Zi entered the rivers and lakes, but everywhere I heard people mention that in Xia Wu is low, where do you dare to fight with Qiao Gang Leader." ”

"Why should Xiahou Gongzi be modest, I don't know how long it will take for a talented person like Xiahou Gongzi to meet one, it's really a pity not to have a discussion today, come on!" Qiao Feng said regretfully.

Xia Hou thought about it, and felt that fighting with a character like Qiao Feng would inevitably have a lot to gain, and with Qiao Feng's personality, if he said that he was a competition, he would definitely not take advantage of his own realm, so he smiled and said: "Okay, since Qiao Gang Leader sincerely invites him, how can he refuse to do so, and he should sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." ”

"Please!"

Ordered Ping'er to wait for him here, and Xiahou Zheng and Qiao Feng walked out of the city.
