Running out for five or six miles, Zhang Shixing remembered that this person turned out to be Huang Zhan, who had gone to the noon gate to beat the drum and sue the emperor, and later won the champion, and he couldn't bear it. put Zhu Yunwen on Huang Zicheng's horse, let them go first, and then turn the horse back by himself, ready to rescue Huang Zhan.

Zhang Shixing rode his horse back, only to see Huang Zhan waving a steel fork to stab a Yan soldier, the Yan army seemed to be playing with him, riding a horse, dodging left and right, making him jump into the air every time, when Huang Zhan was tired and panting, and stopped attacking, the Yan army suddenly raised the steel knife and slashed it violently.

Zhang Shixing saw it from a distance, but he couldn't rescue it, so he used all his strength to throw the spear in his hand violently, and suddenly hit the Yan army in the chest, and the Yan army screamed and planted under the horse.

The spear pierced through the body of that Yan Jun, and he didn't stop stabbing another Yan Jun to death.

Seeing that he was so mighty, the rest of the Yan army was frightened, made a whistle, turned around and fled.

Zhang Shixing galloped to the front, brought Huang Zhan on the horse, and thanked the villagers and the brave group: "Fellow villagers, in the next Zhang Si, thank you for your righteous help, the Jingshi has fallen, and the big guys will disperse." ”

The villagers looked at each other, not believing that this was true, and one of them dared to ask: "Then dare to ask this Brother Zhang, who is the emperor in the capital now?" ”

Zhang Shixing didn't know how to answer, so he had to say vaguely: "In short, it is still the world of the Ming Dynasty." ”

When the villagers heard this, they nodded to each other and said: "What this Brother Zhang said is reasonable, the left and right are the world of the Ming Dynasty, what are we doing so desperately, go home and drink." ”

With that, these villagers scattered in all directions.

Zhang Shixing knew that those Yan troops would definitely not give up, and they would go back to move the rescue troops, so they didn't dare to stay here, and galloped away in the direction of Gaozi Town.

Huang Zhan refused to sit firmly on the saddle bridge, insisted on jumping off the horse, and shouted to Zhang Shixing: "I am ordered to recruit troops, I must return to Beijing to resume my life, you let me down." ”

Zhang Shixing shouted at him: "Champion Lang, I just said that the Jingshi has been captured by the Yan army, what are you going to do when you go back?" Do you want to take refuge in the swallow thief? ”

Huang Zhan shook his head and said, "I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I will go back to rescue you." ”

Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhang Shixing had no choice but to confide the truth: "Your Majesty has escaped, just in front." You should not be noisy, and you will be known, and you will harm your majesty's life. ”

When Huang Zhan heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "Really? ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Silence, you will know when you see it." ”

Zhang Shixing took Huang Zhan all the way and ran for several miles, and suddenly saw Huang Zicheng and Zhu Yunwen riding the yellow horse together, standing in place, not moving at all.

Zhang Shixing galloped to the front, hurriedly reined in his horse, and asked strangely, "Mr. Huang, why don't you go forward with Master Kongwen?" ”

Huang Zicheng said with a sad face: "Zhang Si, the two of us are unarmed, and we don't know martial arts, so we dare to move forward without your protection." ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly said: "Don't go quickly, the Yan army will go to move the rescue soldiers, and the team will catch up after a while, and I can't stop so many enemies alone." ”

At this time, Huang Zhan had already seen Zhu Yunwen's face clearly, he suddenly jumped off the horse, cried and worshipped: "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, order Wancheng to move, please punish the ministers." ”

Zhang Shixing was so anxious that he waved his hand to him and said, "Huang Hanlin, don't make a noise, get on the horse and leave quickly." The Yan army is about to chase after him. ”

Zhu Yunwen also clasped his hands together and said, "Master Huang, this is not the place to speak, hurry up and follow my apprentice Zhang Si on the horse." ”

Huang Zhan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know who Zhang Si was.

Zhang Shixing grabbed him by the back of the neck, lifted him onto the horse, and urged the horse to run forward. Huang Zicheng also hit the horse to keep up.

After galloping out for more than ten miles, everyone came to Gaozi Town, only to see that the whole town had been burned to a white ground, and the eyes were full of ruins and broken walls, and the dead corpses were resting on their pillows, and there was no one to be seen, only the crows were pecking at the dead corpses. The harbor was filled with shipwrecks, staggering and scattered, and embers were still burning.

Zhang Shixing screamed bitterly, so he walked downstream along the river bank, hoping to meet one or two scattered soldiers of the Southern Army, so that he could find a way to cross the river.

Sure enough, when they had gone several miles, they saw a small boat moored in a harbor, and a boat was about to swing away.

Zhang Shixing was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted: "Old man, wait a minute, can you take us across the river?" There will be great thanks. ”

The captain waved his hand and said, "Guest officer, this ship has been chartered by another guest, you can find the next ship." ”

Zhang Shixing suddenly heard the crows croaking behind him, flying all over the sky, knowing that the pursuers were approaching, he hurriedly jumped up, landed on the boat, grabbed the arm of the captain and said: "Brother, my master is going to Yangzhou to incense, I can't delay, please help." ”

At this moment, a big man jumped out of the cabin, armed with a steel knife, slashing at the face, and shouted: "What a robber, dare to rob your grandfather's ship." ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly jumped aside, stretched out his hand to clasp his vein, and looked at it, the person who came turned out to be Sheng Yong, and exclaimed: "Sheng Hou, why are you here?" ”

Sheng Yong made a silent gesture and said, "Brother Zhang, fortunately, fortunately, this is a chaotic situation, and it is not easy to do a small business, so it doesn't hurt for us to share a boat." ”

Zhang Shixing saw that he was also dressed in cloth, and it was inconvenient to say it, so he said: "Brother Sheng, I still have a few good friends who want to cross the river together, please forgive Brother Sheng." ”

Sheng Yong glanced at the shore, and saw that it was Huang Zicheng, a monk, and a scholar, all of whom must have been from the court, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

The captain was not happy, and said to Sheng Yong: "This guest officer, although you chartered this boat, but it was originally one person, but at the moment there are four more people, carrying these many people across the river, I don't know how much effort it will take, the original boat money is not enough." ”

Sheng Yong said with a smile on his face: "The boat money is easy to say." After that, he took out a few treasure bills from his arms and handed them to the captain: "This is ten pieces of money, please accept it." ”

The captain sneered: "There is a change of emperor in the capital, and this treasure banknote is a piece of waste paper." Give me all the gold that is in you. ”

Sheng Yong said with a sad face: "Brother, all the gold on my body has been given to you, where is there any extra gold." ”

Zhang Shixing glared at him and said: "You don't know what to do, if you don't cross, be careful of your life." ”

Who knew that the captain threw away the oar, crossed his waist and pointed at Zhang Shixing and said: "You will kill me now, see if you can live the river?" ”

Zhang Shixing thought that this was indeed the case, so he quickly softened and arched his hand: "Brother, the younger brother has offended a lot, I hope you will forgive me." We came out in a hurry this time, and we didn't bring gold, so if you see if my two horses are okay, I will give them to my brother and use them as fares. ”

The captain shook his head and said, "I'm a ferryman, what do I want that Rausch to do, I have to serve this beast all day long, maybe I will even get into trouble." ”

Zhang Shixing saw that this captain was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, this person seemed to be the boatman he hired when he went to Shao Bozhen to find Mr. Qin, so he blurted out: "Yu Laosan." ”

The boatman really responded, looked Zhang Shixing up and down for a long time, and finally remembered, pointed to Zhang Shixing and said, "You are the Zhang brother who is looking for a friend who fell into the water in the canal?" ”

Zhang Shixing smiled: "It's exactly below." You said that day that if you encounter any urgent matter in the future, you only need to shout at Yu Lao San by this river, and you will come to pick me up without taking a penny. ”

Yu Laosan said with a smile: "I was a joke that day, but today it came true." It can be seen that there are gods three feet above the head, and people should not speak falsely. ”

After that, Yu Laosan rocked the boat to the shore and picked up Zhu Yunwen and others on the boat.

Sheng Yong recognized Zhu Yunwen at this time, his face was full of horror, he didn't know whether to bow or not, Zhu Yunwen shook his head at him, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the little monk has heard of it, and he has seen the donor." ”

Sheng Yong hurriedly replied: "In Xia Shanda, I have seen Master Kongwen." ”

Huang Zicheng and Huang Zhan just nodded at him and didn't speak.

Yu Laosan rocked the oar, and the boat slowly left the riverbank.

At this time, a team of swallow riders on the shore chased after him like a whirlwind, the first one, with a round face and a bald head, it was the Mongolian commander Huo Zhen, who shouted at Yu Laosan: "Wu Na boatman, quickly pull the boat over, the military master has a heavy reward." ”

Everyone hid in the cabin, and everyone looked at Yu Laosan with nervous expressions, if he rocked the boat back at this moment, it would be a great wealth.

Yu Laosan rocked the oars unhurriedly, and the boat continued to move forward, getting farther and farther away from the riverbank.

Huo Zhen hurriedly said: "Wu Na boatman, if you shake the boat back, or abandon the ship and jump into the water, you can be rewarded with ten thousand gold, made a marquis, and hereditary replacement." ”

When everyone on the boat heard this, their hearts rose to their throats, and they all looked at Yu Laosan with blank eyes. Zhang Shixing stared at him even more, ready to go, beware of him jumping into the water and escaping, and this boatload of people would be all fish and turtles.

Yu Laosan sang the boat song: "The wind on the five-mile beachhead is calm, and Zhang Fan feels that the boat is light." The soft oar does not stop, but it is a boat. The eyes are full of turmoil and sparkling, but they seem to be coming to greet them. Look carefully at the mountains and mountains not moving, it is a boat line. ”

Seeing that the ship did not look back, the fire on the shore secretly ordered the arrows to be released, and in an instant, the arrows were fired at the boat.

Yu Laosan shouted: "Quickly bend down." ”

Everyone in the cabin hurriedly lay on the board, but only Yu Laosan was still rocking.

Seeing that the boat was far away, out of the range of the bow and arrow, Huo Zhen had no choice but to lead his troops and horses away.

The boat gradually came to the opposite bank, and the Puzikou city wall was clearly visible in the distance. Suddenly, a sea ship came from the direction of Guazhou downstream, the sails were stretched high, and the waves were chopping the waves, dozens of cannons were lined up on the ship, and the board around the muzzle of the black hole was full of hideous beast heads, as if the muzzle of the cannon would spew out murderous flames at any time.

After a while, the big boat blocked the way of the small boat that Zhang Shixing and the others were taking, and the soldiers on the big boat shouted at Yu Laosan: "Who are you and why are you here?" ”

Yu Laosan didn't know if he was too tired or for other reasons, so he frowned and didn't answer.

The soldiers on the big ship drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at the small boat.

The situation was urgent, everyone on the boat looked at each other, and Zhang Shixing wanted to go out to deal with it. Sheng Yong grabbed him, walked out by himself, and shouted to the soldiers on the big boat: "In Xia Shanda, go to the opposite Yangzhou Mansion to do business, please let the military master go." ”

The soldiers on the big ship seemed to recognize Sheng Yong, and after exchanging words, someone went to report to their superiors.

After a while, a general with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a face like charcoal fire walked to the side of the boat, leaned over to look down, and smiled unconsciously: "Sheng Hou, when did you make a deal?" ”

Sheng Yong raised his eyes and recognized that this person was Chen Xuan, the governor of the right army and the commander of the navy, and it was because of this person that he surrendered to the king of Yan that the Yan army was able to cross the river, defeated him in Gaozi Town, and then took the capital.

Sheng Yong was shocked and angry at the moment, and he couldn't speak.

Who knew that Chen Xuan waved his hand and ordered the big boat to get out of the way and let the small boat pass. Chen Xuan's left and right sergeants were a little puzzled and said: "Chen Dudu, isn't this Sheng Yong, wouldn't it be a great achievement for us to capture him and dedicate him to King Yan." ”

Chen Xuan said coldly: "Is Sheng Yong on the list of traitorous ministers?" ”

The left and right sergeants shook their heads and said, "Not on the list." ”

Chen Xuan reprimanded: "Since Sheng Yong is not on the list of traitors, what is the use of me waiting to arrest him?" Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future. ”

Sheng Yong and others escaped and came to the Puzi port, everyone jumped ashore, Zhang Shixing turned around and thanked Yu Laosan, but saw Yu Laosan's face pale and fell to the ground.

Zhang Shixing hurriedly walked over and helped him up, but saw that his hands were full of blood.
