Chapter Seventy-Five: The Big Fish

"Make up to scare me!"

"Lao Tzu doesn't have the time to scare you, I'll give you a happy one.||For every two people who watch romance, there is an account that has registered a small °Shuo°.com."

The sergeant glanced at him, this not tall Mongolian seemed to have some status, dressed better than the others, and was dragged onto the deck after being poured with a stomach full of water, and his mouth kept shouting, and the Chinese words of his two knives hurt to hear, and the sergeant felt that he was going to be so annoying again, so he directly knocked out with the knife handle.

I almost didn't roll my eyes when I heard his words, it's terrible to be uneducated, I have already said it very clearly, why can't I understand it? Helpless, his life was at stake, he could only shout while gesturing: "Don't be scared, thin shrimp!" The sergeant watched him stunned as he wiped his neck over and over again, and then suddenly realized.

"Want to die, and you still need a knife? Jump into the water by yourself, the dog tartar is the trouble. "I really rolled my eyes this time.

There were several tall sea boats moored on the Liao River, the hard sails on the masts had been lowered, and the heavy iron anchors were thrown into the bottom of the river, pulling the boats firmly. The draught of the ferry was not deep enough for them to dock directly, so they had to moor in the middle of the river and transport them back and forth in boats.

"Those brothers who have hung up the lottery will be sent to your stockade for the time being, and when their injuries are better, all the captured except the Semu man will be at your disposal, whether they are killed or imprisoned, you can do it as you please."

On the riverbank, Li Shiyi stood with Jiang Ning, who got off the boat, watching their subordinates busy, the result of this battle was a bit of a fluke, so that Li Shiyi gained a lot of experience and lessons. It also reminded him that no matter how careful he is to do things on the territory of the Tartars, he will pay an unimaginable price if he is not careful, and he knows every sergeant who died in battle, including even the old brothers who followed Liu Yu at the earliest, so he was not very happy.

"Among the rest of the people, Sister Pheasant and most of the brothers will go with you, put them at the mouth of Zhigu, where there is their own family to pick them up, and it will only take a day to get to the capital.

"Why don't you go back with you?" Jiang Ning was a little surprised, the matter has been done, the goal has basically been achieved, what is he still doing here?

"There are also some side things that may require your fleet, are you familiar with this coast?" Li Shiyi didn't answer positively, of course Jiang Ning wouldn't ask, but for his question, Jiang Ning took out the chart on his body and pointed to the vicinity.

"Generally fine, where do you want to go?"

"If you don't take a boat, you can cross the Liao River by land, which is the Tokyo Road of the Yuan people, and you will enter the forest area after passing through this area, and you have to deal with the locals here. If necessary, can you send a boat up the river to meet you as you did today? ”

Jiang Ning looked at the chart and was silent, it is not impossible for a sea ship to enter the inland river, but it is very easy to run aground when he is not familiar with the waterway, because the river is not as deep as the sea. This time he entered the Liao River, and he only dared to go to a place not far from the mouth of the sea, and if he went up again, he didn't know what would happen. He knew that the river that Li Shiyi said, the same name as later generations, called the Yalu River, was originally in the territory of Goryeo, after the Yuan people conquered Goryeo, this area was drawn out, the upper reaches of this river are inhabited by many nomadic tribes, most of them are Jurchens, there are also other tribesmen, it is estimated that it is the local people in Li Shiyi's mouth.

"It's okay, just go and do business with them, buy some mountain treasures, leather goods, etc., and sell some cloth and ironware with them. This is a line that caravans are used to, led by an old man who knows each other, and nothing can happen, and when you return, it will be faster to take a boat, and then you will come to pick up so-and-so. ”

The matter has not yet been decided, of course Li Shiyi will not say it all, Jiang Ning does not doubt it, the former's public identity is the shopkeeper of the business inn, and now it is the season to collect leather goods, and it is also the right thing to do, he nodded, and agreed to Li Shiyi's request.

I wanted to say something again, but was suddenly interrupted by a noisy voice, and the two turned their heads to look, and they were both dumbfounded.

"Eun Gong, Eun Gong."

The leader of the horse thieves, Lao Beifeng, was held by his two subordinates, and kept circling around the pheasant slave, and the name in his mouth made people cry and laugh, and the pheasant slave didn't know how to respond to him, so he had the heart to ignore him with his face, and it turned out to be like this.

"You guys are so ignorant, what are you screaming about, get out of the way." The old dog, who had no slings on the sling, did not come aboard with the wounded, and he thought that he could still stand and that he would not need to be helped or lie down, and seeing this, he resolutely shouldered his duty and plunged into front of the leader of the horse thieves.

"A good man forgives his sins, I just want to express my gratitude, if it weren't for the Lady Niangzi who rescued me today, I and these brothers would have been planted here today." Lao Beifeng pushed away the two subordinates, hugged his fists and sang a promise, the pheasant slave returned him a military salute, but did not answer, her mind was very straightforward, saving him was to delay time, not caring about the life or death of these people, in her mind the thief is a thief, not better than the Tartar, but how can this be said.

Lao Beifeng's gratitude is sincere, he doesn't know others, but they sacrifice their lives to save them. He had personally learned the kung fu of that black god, and he couldn't hold it in his hands for a round, and this seemingly weak little lady was able to hurt him all over his body.

"I don't know what to call this master, my surname is Jiang, I see that this lady is a little tired, why don't we get close and talk elsewhere?"

Jiang Ning took out the style of the green forest, took the old north wind with one hand, and at the same time glanced at the pheasant slave, signaling her to get out quickly, the two have not been able to speak, but the pheasant slave will take his boat back, there are opportunities along the way, Jiang Ning is not in a hurry.

"Your Excellency is the great boss of the world? I didn't expect to see it today, a certain family reported the number 'Old North Wind', and the name was not concealed from the big boss, it was a shame in a certain heart, and he had long forgotten to be clean, and it was definitely not a big one, and he asked Jiang Da to forgive me. ”

This horse thief leader spoke a slightly weird northern Chinese dialect, his messy hair was tied behind his head with a belt, but his temples were shaved clearly, this was neither the way of the Mongols, nor the head of the Jurchens, Jiang Ning heard him say this, he knew that there must be something hidden in it, and he didn't care about it at the moment, haha laughed, and the two walked towards Li Shiyi's end.

"This is the shopkeeper Li, who is doing business in the capital, and in the future, on this line, please raise your noble hand, of course, the usual filial piety will not be less." Jiang Ning pulled him to introduce Li Shiyi, and Lao Beifeng waved his hand again and again when he heard it.

"The big boss laughed, if there is no help from you, it will have become a handful of loess in the next morning, what filial piety is not filial piety in the future, never mention it again, look at the bottom, say hello when you come and go, a certain family will personally send you across the border, if you can stop for two days and let you be a host, it will be a big face."

Just kidding, Lao Beifeng still hasn't figured it out, how could this so-called shopkeeper doing business in the capital city lead a group of Han cavalry like wolves and tigers? The first few are still authentic 100 household costumes, in the territory of Liaodong, any businessman dares to wear it like this, it can only show that the power behind the people cannot be underestimated.

Although he is a horse thief, he does not rob everyone, most of the time he targets the wealthy merchants in the Western Regions who have oil and water, and the caravans that are used to walking nearby mainly collect tolls, so as to ensure the constant flow of fine water, and at the same time, it will not cause the government to clean up on a large scale. As for this time, it was the calculation of others, who had ever wanted to buy it should be recognized, and in turn set a trap for him, what he didn't expect was that the other party not only had a hundred or so guards, but also ambushed as many as five hundred Mongolian cavalry, which made them suffer a big loss, and after the count, less than eighty of the more than three hundred horse thieves remained, and the rest became a part of this red soil.

"The politeness of the housekeeper, a certain family has some old grudges with that color eye, and seeing that there is a cheap and profitable one, he took advantage of the fire to rob it, and he should not mention it again, and it is a blessing to be able to make a friend with the master. Jiang Da has something to go back to, if he doesn't want to be bothered, he wants to go to the boss to ask for a glass of water and wine, I don't know if it's okay? ”

Li Shiyi's style is really like a businessman, and he doesn't leak a drop of water, but how alert Lao Beifeng is, the so-called begging for wine and food must be fake, and he is only afraid that something will trouble him. But Fang Cai's words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back at the moment, he could only hope that the other party's request was within his ability, and he patted his chest at the moment and readily agreed.

However, for him, it is also undesirable to be able to make friends with a powerful Han force, and he may be able to come in handy at any time. Besides, the other party's merchant status is also very useful, most of the things stolen by the horse thieves cannot be eaten or drunk, and it is all up to these merchants to exchange for the things they need, and he will not refuse in this regard.

This luggage eleven does not intend to bring too many people, he is more concerned about the safety of Liu Yu in the capital, how can this trip take more than ten days, and it is impossible to say whether there will be any changes. Therefore, Sister Pheasant and the others need to go back immediately, Jiang Ning is also very clear in his heart, he simply cleaned up the battlefield, I have to say that this battle is still rewarding, there are hundreds of ownerless war horses on the battlefield, including the Persian horse that was lost by the stabbing and missing, as well as more than a dozen tall big eating horses, unfortunately these horses have obvious characteristics and marks, Li Shiyi They can't use them in the north, they can only cheapen the gang of horse thieves, but the Persian horse was pushed to him by the old north wind, Li Shiyi took it half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, and he was going to leave it for Liu Yu to use in the future, and temporarily stored it on Jiang Ning's island.

"So-and-so is leaving, take care of the shopkeeper." Cleaning up, Jiang Ning hugged his fists and said with a smile at the two, without waiting for Li Shiyi to say a polite word, a small boat was lowered from the sea boat, and the people above waved at them from a distance, and they were about to lean on the riverbank, and the person rushed down the river, Li Shiyi recognized the old Ding Tou who had been leading them the way, and couldn't help but be a little confused in his heart, this is a very stable looking person, what would make him like this?

"Shopkeeper Li, big fish, big fish." Lao Ding said breathlessly, and the three of them were a little inexplicable, following the direction he pointed, was it in the river?
