Tang Lang's stunt meteor step is extremely extraordinary, and it is not surpassable by the masters of the rivers and lakes such as the black hand. He carried the man without the slightest force, as if he were carrying a chicken.

The man was in his twenties, with a long figure, dark skin, a long bearded face, and bright eyes, which was pleasing to the eye.

In an alley where there was no one occupied, Tang Lang put down the man.

At this time, the twilight was four, and the entire alley was even more smeared with a thin layer of darkness.

The man was frightened, dressed in gray cotton clothes, and the river was dripping, he arched his hand at Tang Lang and said, "More strong men to save you!" A strong man is really a good skill! ”

His gaze at Tang Lang was full of respect.

Tang Lang looked at him, but he also felt kind, so he said politely: "My surname is Tang Minglang!" Haven't asked Your Excellency yet? ”

"The surname is Hu, and the grass word is the sea. Hu Dahai is me. I am Hu Dahai. When the man spoke, he was also very cheerful and neat.

"Hu Dahai ......"

Tang Lang knew that this person later became a general under Zhu Yuanzhang who could fight well. When he saw that he had not saved the wrong person, he couldn't help but rejoice.

"Zunjia is a person from the Xiangyang area?"

Hu Dahai said with a big grin: "No, no, no." I'm from Sizhou from the east. ”

Tang Lang couldn't help but ask him: "Just now you set fire to the painting boat of Yang Yixuan, the son of Xiangyang?" ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I did. I disguised myself as a sailor, blended into the boat, and took advantage of their inattention, so I lit fires everywhere. Ha ha...... This fire is really happy! ”

Hu Dahai's pride is beyond words.

"Brother Dahai has a holiday with this Xiangyang son Yang Yixuan?" Tang Lang asked.

Hu Dahai said: "It's a little bit of a festival...... but he didn't go on.

Tang Lang tilted his ears and wanted to listen, but when he saw that Hu Dahai didn't say anything, he didn't ask anymore.

"I have long seen this Dalu flower in Xiangyang unpleasant. At present, the Mengyuan Empire has decayed, and I am afraid that the edifice will collapse. I heard that the Enlightenment continued to raise troops and uprisings, and I also wanted to join the Mingjiao, but no one introduced it. ”

When Tang Lang said this, he naturally wanted to test Hu Dahai.

Hu Dahai saw that Tang Lang said the word "Mingjiao", so he looked left and right, with a mysterious look, "This is not the place to speak, strong man, please come with me." ”

Tang Lang readily agreed.

Hu Dahai led the way in front, zigzags through many alleys.

Along the way, the two saw more than a dozen Mongolian cavalrymen, riding high-headed horses, tapping and tapping, and parading on the streets of Xiangyang.

Tang Lang whispered to Hu Dahai: "It seems that Yang Yixuan has sent troops to blockade Xiangyang City. ”

Hu Dahai said: "What are you afraid of him? Mongol Tartars come and kill one by one! ”

Tang Lang smiled silently.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the two men came to an abandoned courtyard, climbed over a wall, and entered a clean courtyard.

To the north of the courtyard are three houses, and in the main hall, there is a light like a bean.

Hu Dahai pushed the door in.

Tang Lang followed closely behind, and saw a person in the room standing up to greet him.

The man was carrying the light, and Tang Lang couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he felt that this person was burly and fierce.

"The sea, you're back!"

The man in the room whispered, a hint of surprise in his tone.

Hu Dahai agreed and said, "Chongba, I brought a new friend......

At this time, Tang Lang had already stepped into the house.

Hu Dahai carefully closed the door.

The three of them sat down.

Under the light, Tang Lang saw the face of the person in the room clearly, and saw that the person's face was extremely strange, and he was also about twenty years old. With his forehead protruding forward, his eyes shining, his thin cheeks, and his chin protruding, he looked like a man of many cities.

"This new friend's name is Tang Lang, and he just saved my life in the Han River......"

As soon as Hu Dahai sat down, he pointed at Tang Lang with his hand and introduced him to the man.

Tang Lang hurriedly bowed his hand to the man and said, "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”

Hu Dahai introduced to Tang Lang again: "This is my friend Zhu Chongba. ”

Tang Lang was shocked: Zhu Chongba!? Isn't this Zhu Yuanzhang's original name? In that case, the person in front of him is naturally Zhu Yuanzhang.

Thinking of this, Tang Lang was very happy.

That Zhu Chongba also bowed his hand to Tang Lang and said politely: "Thank you Brother Tang for saving my brother's life!" ”

"You're welcome. Don't worry about it!"

Tang Lang said lightly.

"Chongba, I pretended to be a sailor today and mixed into the painting boat that Yang Yixuan was riding, and when I saw Yang Yixuan having fun in the painting boat, I was angry in my heart, so I put a few fires on him...... Hahaha...... The fire made this group of bastards jump up and down, so it's not lively! ”

Hu Dahai said excitedly.

Zhu Chongba suddenly asked anxiously: "Then have you heard the news of my uncle?" ”

"Uncle's news, I naturally heard about it." Hu Dahai said, "Although I am reckless, I will not miss the right thing." -- Uncle has been imprisoned in Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion by Yang Yixuan. Yang Yixuan was going to torture his uncle every once in a while, wanting him to tell him about his friends who were connected with him in Xiangyang. However, Uncle was very stubborn and refused to admit it. ”

Zhu Chongba listened to Hu Dahai's words, and couldn't help frowning.

"Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion, heavily guarded, how can you and I rescue my uncle?" Zhu Chongba fell into distress.

Tang Lang listened to the conversation between the two of them, and selfishly guessed: Could it be that Zhu Chongba's uncle, because of his participation in the anti-Yuan activities of Mingjiao, was his identity exposed, and was caught by Yang Yixuan?

Hu Dahai looked at Tang Lang, and suddenly said to Zhu Chongba: "Just now, when Brother Tang rescued me, he showed his outstanding martial arts, carrying my neck, his face was not red and breathless, like lifting a chicken...... I think maybe Brother Tang can sneak into Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion and rescue Uncle. ”

When Zhu Chongba heard this, he immediately raised his eyes to look at Tang Lang and said, "Brother Tang has also learned martial arts?" ”

Tang Langxin said: Haven't I just studied?

"Brother Chong, I have studied kung fu for a few years. However, there should be no problem in confidently sneaking into the Dalu Huachi Mansion in Xiangyang City to rescue Uncle. ”

Seeing that Tang Lang looked relaxed and carefree when he spoke, Zhu Chongba nodded unconsciously.

He looked at Tang Lang with a handsome face, and his eyes were full of trust.

Tang Lang still wanted to know what happened to Zhu Chongba's uncle and was imprisoned in Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion, so he asked them: "What did Uncle arrest for?" ”

Zhu Chongba said: "My uncle's surname is Guo, and his name is Guangqing, and he is the leader of the people who sell illicit salt in Chuzhou. There were 3,000 people who followed my uncle to sell illicit salt. I heard that the price of salt here in Xiangyang is extremely high, so my uncle personally escorted dozens of salt boats, went straight up the Yangtze River, and entered the Han River. Dozens of salt ships were all detained, and my uncle was also imprisoned in Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion. They knew that their uncle was the leader of the salt sellers in the Chuzhou area, so they tortured him and wanted to know some of his salt dealer friends in Xiangyang......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Chongba suddenly stopped talking.

The Mengyuan Empire strictly forbade salt farmers to sell salt privately, and deployed troops around the salt mills to conduct strict inspections. The salt produced by salt households was uniformly collected and monopolized by the imperial court, and it was called "official salt".

The price of official salt is extremely high, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to eat it.

Some smuggled salt dealers took the plunge and secretly sold illicit salt to the mainland. Due to the low price of illicit salt, ordinary people often go to buy salt smuggled by smuggled salt dealers.

Zhu Chongba's uncle Guo Guangqing was a leader of a smuggler of salt.

At this time, Hu Dahai suddenly said: "It's a pity that this Xiangyang territory is very far away from our Chuzhou place, otherwise, I would have called thousands of brothers to take down this Xiangyang City, and then burned this Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion, so that they would also know our ......."

"What? The Sea Brothers have a team under their hands? Tang Lang asked curiously.

Hu Dahai said: "Where do I have a team. Uncle is the leading figure in Chuzhou, and there are thousands of brothers who follow him to eat, seeing that he was arrested by the government, who dares not to help? ”

Tang Lang nodded, "That's what I said." ”

Hu Dahai said: "Even if those brothers under Uncle don't make a move, I have a way...... By the way, Brother Tang, I heard that Yang Yixuan, the son of Xiangyang Dalu Huachi, has recruited many masters of the rivers and lakes under his command to work for him, and you want to sneak into Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion to rescue your uncle, but you have to be careful to guard against them. ”

Tang Lang didn't look at Yang Yixuan's subordinates at all, "Those masters of the rivers and lakes, I'm not afraid." ”

As he was talking, Tang Lang suddenly saw a red flame-like ornament flashing on the cuffs of the white robe worn by Zhu Chongba.

The mark of the red flame is the characteristic ornament of the white clothes worn by the Mingjiao.

"Brother Chong is a Mingjiao disciple?" Tang Lang asked.

Zhu Chongba was taken aback, but his expression immediately returned to normal, and said, "Brother Tang has good eyesight!" He knew that Tang Lang had seen the flame mark on the cuffs of his white robe, "Yes, I am a disciple of the Ming Sect." Not only me, but also the sea, and so did my uncle. ”

Hu Dahai also said: "Didn't Brother Tang want to join the Ming Sect? I and I can introduce you. ”

When Tang Lang heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "That's really good!" At present, the Mengyuan court brutalized the people, the Li people suffered, the Quartet was disturbed, and the signs of swords and soldiers had appeared. In my opinion, the moment of Zhaomin's awakening is approaching......"

"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer...... Have mercy on the world, and there are many sorrows......"

Zhu Chongba said and sighed.

Suddenly, he sang in a low voice: "Burn my body, the holy fire is blazing, what is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death?" For the sake of good and evil, only light, joy and sorrow shall return to dust. Everything is for the people, not for selfishness. Have mercy on me, there are many sorrows! Have mercy on the world, and there are many sorrows......";
