Looking at the landscape of Dongting from afar, there is a green snail on the silver plate. -------Tang Dynasty. Liu Yuxi "Looking at the Dongting"

In the dimly lit cabin, Chen Long leaned on the bulkhead, listening to Zhou Budo's explanation of the counties passing along the road, and suddenly found Guo Jia, and couldn't help but stand up and exclaim. Zhou Budo looked at Long Chen suspiciously, and said, "Who is this Guo Jia?" Chen Long was pleasantly surprised: "Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, I have heard his name a long time ago, he is a prodigy like you, and his intelligence is probably not below you." He is a Yangzhai person. When we pass by Yangzhai, we must visit Guo's house. Zhou Budo's expression changed, and he secretly remembered Guo Jia's name.

After two days and two nights, the merchant ship finally arrived at Changsha, an important town on the edge of the Hunan River. Chen Long hurried to Luoyang, dispelled the idea of visiting Huang Zhong, and only asked his men to buy some food and exchange for some clean drinking water. At the Changsha ferry, you can see the city of Changsha from afar, Chen Long asked Zhou Budo to hire two horses, and the two went around the city.

Zhou Budo also has a habit of drawing topographic maps, and he is tired of remembering the terrain of mountains and rivers. Changsha Chengguo is about 30 kilometers away from Xiangshui, Liushui passes through the city, flows into Xiangshui, and is the famous land of fish and rice. The castle is located in the basin between Xiangshui and Liushui, surrounded by continuous hills, mainly low hills in the south, direct access to Guiyang by land, Dawei Mountain with higher altitude in the east, Yuelu Mountain in the west, and Sun Mountain in the north.

The two rode around the city, and Zhou Budo pointed and painted on the road, as far as he could hide the soldiers. Chen Long nodded slightly, and said in his heart that this kid is indeed a military wizard, and with his persistent energy, he will definitely achieve something in the future. Walking to the north gate, the two decided to walk through the city and return to the dock, so they led the horse and entered the city through the north gate, and the access was not strict. The layout in Changsha City is similar to that of Lingling, the two crossed the bridge on Liushui, entered the main street, and sure enough, there were many shops, and the characters were prosperous, and the two chose a teahouse on the second floor to sit down.

The guy served a pot of tea, and the two looked at the scenery on the street through the window, and Zhou Budo said: "Of the four counties in the south of Jingzhou, Changsha is the most prosperous, because it is rich in rice, so it is called the granary of Jingzhou, with convenient transportation, developed waterways, and often heavily guarded by heavy soldiers. Chen Long nodded slightly, suddenly felt the gaze of someone in the teahouse, turned his head and swept his head, and saw a big man sitting alone, staring at him, seeing Chen Long's gaze sweeping, he quickly turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window. Chen Long remained silent, settled the account and went straight back to the dock with Zhou Budo. The guys on the boat were ready, Chen Long ordered the boat to start, got into the cabin, secretly raised the curtain to observe, and sure enough, he saw the big man following behind, hurriedly got off the horse and got into another small boat, which was behind his own boat.

Chen Long was secretly amused, but he didn't expect that the splendid embroidery he wore for the first time would become the target of thieves. Secretly asked Lu Chang and them to be on guard, and prepared a double-shot crossbow designed by Zhou Budo and placed it in the cabin. Zhou Budo knew that he was being followed, and he was excited, and he was ready to fight without mentioning it.

When the night came, Long Chen asked the boat to dock, and the boat did not stop, and drove straight over. Chen Long knew that the dinghy must have gone to the front to inform his accomplices, so he blew out the lights in the cabin, pretended to go to bed with the lights out, and waited for the thieves to arrive. Unexpectedly, the left couldn't wait, the right couldn't wait, Chen Long and the others all fell asleep.

When he woke up, the sky had already seen light, Chen Long saw that the warehouse was lying on the ground, all of them were snoring, Chen Long kicked Lu Chang's ass, this kid was excited, turned over and picked up the crossbow, and shouted: "Coming, coming!" ”

Zhou Budo and several of them heard the movement, they got up one after another, took the crossbow with the crossbow, pulled the dagger with the dagger, rushed out of the hatch, and suddenly saw the sun outside and the scenery was beautiful, where were there any thieves quietly, they looked at each other for a while, and they all pleaded with Lu Chang, the kid, and asked, "Where are the thieves?" ”

Lu Chang scratched his head and said, "This and this...... The thieves didn't seem to have come. As soon as the words fell, they were already ravaged by everyone on the ground, and they all said that they had been disturbed by Lu Xiaozi's dream.

Chen Long also stepped out of the warehouse, and when he saw that a few bastard boys were making a fuss, he coughed, and those boys quickly turned over and stood up, standing up and saluting. Chen Long said: "Bastard boys, how many times have I told you that you are only called master outside, and what should I do if I am seen by others in the military salute?" Several captains hurriedly lowered their right hands.

Chen Long asked the brothers of the Xiaoxiang Gang to drive the boat, and said to Zhou Budo and the five of them: "Brothers, the big man who followed me and Yuan Zhi yesterday is not a good person. I feel that our opponent is also very cunning, and I expected that we were aware of it, and we didn't make a move last night. The road ahead must always be vigilant. The crowd responded with a bang.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Chen Long saw that the mountains by the Xiangshui River were getting lower and lower, and knew that he was approaching Dongting Lake. Another day was spent peacefully, and at dusk, Long Chen was talking to Zhou Budo in the cabin, when suddenly the guy in front shouted: "Enter the lake!" ”

Chen Long and the others stepped out of the cabin, only to see the water and sky the same color, sparkling, the reflection of the sunset, the afterglow of the sunset, and saw from a distance in the hazy mist, the center of the lake is as towering as a black spot and a green snail, which is Junshan. Both of them were so enchanted by the beautiful scenery in front of them that they didn't notice that behind the boat, there were two black dots in the distance that were getting bigger and bigger.

At night, Long Chen asked Lu Chang and the four of them to replace the guys who drove the boat, and sailed in the lake at night, so that they could reach Jiangxia as soon as possible. While resting in the cabin, suddenly there was a loud bang on the side of the ship, and the merchant ship jerked to the side, and then fell back again, apparently because the side of the ship had been hit by another ship. Chen Long reacted, had grabbed the crossbow in his hand, thought about it and went out from the back of the cabin, looked to the side, only to see his merchant ship was sandwiched between two fishing boats, and many black figures were turning from the fishing boats on both sides to his own boat, Chen Long picked up the crossbow in the black shadow and shot an arrow, only to hear a sound, a person in the black shadow screamed and fell to the ground and rolled up.

Chen Long laughed out loud, threw away his crossbow, drew his dagger, and shouted loudly in the night: "Come out, sons, the idea is here!" When Lu Chang and Zhou Budo collided with the ship just now, they all found a place to hide, and when they heard Chen Long shouting, they all took out daggers from their hiding places and jumped to the bow of the boat, raising their blazing torches.

Chen Long lightly jumped to the bow of the boat early, landed in front of several people, and faced a dry water bandit. There were about 20 bandits who came up, each holding a big blade, and a bandit leader saw a few people appearing, knowing that he could no longer sneak attack, he shouted: "This lake is the territory of my Dongting Gang, you trespassed in, have you paid the lake fee?" ”

Chen Long smiled and said: "It turns out that he is from the Dongting Gang, and he has never heard of any lake crossing fees, but he has heard that there are many water bandits here." Why didn't you hit my boat indiscriminately just now? You have to compensate me for my losses. The leader said fiercely: "Leave the goods on the boat without crossing the lake." Brothers, this birdman doesn't pay, let's go! ”

More than 20 water bandits shouted, one by one with a big knife to pounce, Chen Long retreated slightly, and drank: "Only injured but not dead." Behind him, Lu Chang, Hu Ji, Hao Pu, and Zu Lang pounced like four little wolves, and for a while the sword light dagger shadowed, and only the sound of ah-ya-poof-puff was heard in his ears, and he fell to the deck in a moment, fortunately, Chen Long told him not to kill him, otherwise they would all get the account.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, the leader of the bandits shouted, "Boss, boss! Stick to the point! Chen Long knew that he was calling their boss, so he hurriedly concentrated his mind and found that in the boats of the bandits on both sides, the cabin door on the port side moved, and a person walked out silently, and a sense of danger rose in Chen Long's heart.

The man had a crossbow in his hand and raised it flat. Chen Long secretly watched out for him to sneak attack Lu Chang and them. Unexpectedly, the man did not secretly release the arrow, and suddenly shouted: "Stop immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" "Lu Chang and the four of them are fighting happily, no matter if someone threats, they just don't hear it. The man shot an arrow at Lu Chang, saying that it was too late, it was fast, the arrow arrived in front of Lu Chang in an instant, and Lu Chang heard the sound of a crossbow machine in the dark night, and it was too late to dodge, but fortunately, Chen Long had been on guard, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the powerful arrow away, directly transported the internal force, and shot it back. The man laughed and said, "Good kung fu." The figure jumped up, not only dodging Long Chen's hand-throwing arrow, but also falling directly in front of Long Chen.

Chen Long took a closer look under the light of the torch, and saw that the man was only slightly shorter than himself, with thick and dark skin, a bearded face, messy hair, and a fisherman's outfit, but he looked very young. The fan-faced figure, with thick bones, towering cheekbones, muscular, and wild eyes, like a bloodthirsty wolf, makes people shudder. When Long Chen saw him in front of him, he raised his hand and ordered Lu Chang and the others to stop.

The man was also looking at Long Chen carefully, and when he saw that Long Chen told his subordinates to stop, he also waved his hand to stop the bandits. Chen Long said: "This boss, I see that you didn't hurt people with a secret arrow just now, and your actions are considered to be above board, and you passed through the treasure land today, and you didn't intend to disturb you, why did you pick me off?" ”

The man said in a rough voice, "How do you rich people know the afflictions of our poor people?" Your clothes alone are worth a thousand and eight hundred, and I have hundreds of brothers and sisters waiting for me to eat. ”

Chen Long said with a smile: "You guys are really a rabble, if it weren't for the mercy of our subordinates, they would have all thrown off the boat to feed the fish." However, when you say that they are all poor people, I am willing to help, and I have a hundred taels of silver here, so you can take them and divide them. Saying that, he told Zhou Budo to take the money, but Zhou Budo reluctantly took out a big ingot of silver and threw it at the man's feet.

The man was slightly stunned, his words were much more polite, and said, "Since you are willing to pay, why bother to pay for it?" I don't think the guest is an ordinary businessman, can you tell me about the calendar? ”

Chen Long's heart moved slightly, this water bandit just jumped a few feet, obviously his martial arts are strong, why don't he work hard to subdue him, once he dominates the world in the future, with this person, he can take advantage of the geographical advantage of Dongting Lake. Thinking of this, he smiled slightly: "You pretend to be the Dongting Gang and want to ask me for money, but I naturally won't give it." But then you confessed that you are all ordinary people who can't eat, and of course I will do my best to help. If you want to know where I came from, you have to make a bet with me. ”

The man asked, "What bet?" Chen Long said: "Let's fight openly, as long as you win the dagger in my hand, I will not only give you the goods and silver on my ship, but also restore the original future to tell you; But if I win, I want you to go to Lingling and join someone, how about it? ”

The man said inexplicably: "Who are you going to?" Chen Long said: "This person implements benevolent government in Lingling, so that the common people have food, and you can take the people here to him, it is your creation." When the man heard this, he saw that Chen Long had a righteous face, and couldn't help but believe it, and said, "Since this is the case, I have offended." ”

The man took out a black short knife in his arms and put on a posture, Chen Long told everyone to retreat, and pounced on him with a dagger. As the saying goes, an inch is short, an inch is dangerous, the two are hand-to-hand, hand-to-hand combat, and there are dangers for a while. Chen Long wanted to fight quickly, and as soon as he made a move, he was the most elite trick in Chinese Jeet Kune Do. Chinese Jeet Kune Do is an infinitely changing technique in later generations, firmly grasping the loopholes and flaws of the opponent's use of moves, and improvising to form an attack and counterattack to counterattack the opponent, in order to overcome the attack, to counterattack the attack. If the enemy attacks, we attack, and when the enemy moves, we move, which can save and shorten the attack distance to the greatest extent. Although the man's martial arts are strong, where have he ever seen such an infinite variety of techniques, he only feels that his moves have not yet been issued, and the opponent's counterattack is coming, and he just wants to counterattack, the opponent's offensive is coming again, and he is in a hurry for a while, completely on the defensive, but fortunately, the martial arts foundation is solid, and he can withstand several rounds of Chen Long's onslaught.

Chen Long saw that his defensive law was strict, and he couldn't attack for a while, so he took a breath and increased the internal force on his arm, and a dagger made it fly up and down, and the man's short knife was also blocked left and right, and the two had short blades colliding many times, and they encountered sparks in the dark, and they secretly admired each other's arm strength. But his broken blade was really not the opponent of Chen Long's dagger, and after a while, he only heard Cang Lang's voice, and it was cut off by the dagger, and the man was shocked and retreated, Chen Long followed up with a shadow, and the dagger was already on the man's throat, and the man's figure instantly froze.

Chen Long laughed and said, "You lost!" The man was bold, and he arched his hand and said, "I'm serving." What kind of kung fu did you just use? I've never seen it before. Chen Long said: "This is Jeet Kune Do." If I can see you again in the future, I will teach you Jeet Kune Do. Haven't asked your name yet? ”

When the man heard that Long Chen was willing to teach him, he said happily: "Then thank you." In Xia Ganning, the word Xingba, people call me a Jinfan thief. I don't know what to call the eldest brother? ”

Chen Long felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, although he had some premonitions, he didn't expect this person to be really a tyrant. Everyone in the Three Kingdoms knows Gan Ning's bravery, not under Sun Ce, and now he was unexpectedly obtained by himself, God is really helping. hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Xingba, I have admired your name for a long time." Under Chen Long, Zi Wenlong, I will repair a book for you, and ask you to go to Huang Gai Huang Gongfu in Lingling, and he will naturally arrange it for you. He turned around and went into the cabin and wrote a letter, so that Huang Gai could see the letter, that is, Gan Ning, who brought the letter, was the acting commander of the special division and participated in the training of the special division. Gan Ning thanked him, and after saying goodbye, he took the bandits and drove the boat into the dark night.

Chen Long accepted Gan Ning, was in a happy mood, and hummed a little song and fell asleep. When the sky was bright, Long Chen stretched his waist and walked out of the hatch, and at a glance he saw the Yueyang Tower under the blue sky and white clouds, above the waves.
