According to Liu Bian, it is to go to the northwest through the official road to Yingyang, although the road is nearly halfway to Yingyang, and the road is better, but this journey must be more dangerous, although more than ten people in his line are dressed as moths and thieves, and they have the seal of the prince as a basis, if they are attacked by moth thieves or Han troops on the way, although there is always a saying to avoid disasters, but after all, they still have to take some risks. Even so, choosing to go to Yingyang along the road of Yingshui River is much more secure than his own life.

At this moment, the thin sun is hanging in the west, and it is already approaching the evening, fortunately Liu Bian's party is somewhat lucky, and they actually found a dilapidated grass pavilion on the bank of this Yingshui, which seems to be a temporary ferry, which was built by people to dock ships along the way.

Since Liu Wei came to this time and space, how to walk so many distances on these two legs alone, since he saw that this grass pavilion was in front of him, naturally no matter who there would be, he let out a strange laugh, spread his legs and rushed in.

Tang Qi and the accompanying more than ten Yanmen Xiangzi were also physically and mentally exhausted, and when they saw Liu Biao going to the grass pavilion first, they naturally didn't say anything anymore, and they each looked at each other, and they were also smiling, and followed closely.

As soon as Liu Wei entered the grass pavilion, when he found one of the grass stacks and sat down, he gasped and laughed at himself: "Thanks to my Liu Bian, I still have some destiny, and now that I have this grass pavilion to rest, I will no longer sleep in the open like the previous two nights, sleeping between heaven and earth." ”

When Tang Qi heard this, he was quite ashamed, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness has suffered. ”

"It's serious, it's serious." Liu Wei waved his hand again and again, and asked casually: "Zifeng, let's carry dry food, is it enough for a few days?" ”

"That's enough for four or five days."

"Four or five days." Liu Wei frowned, nodded slightly, and said: "I just don't know where this is, in the past, I and Huangfu Zhonglang carefully discussed the terrain and strongholds of Yingchuan County in the sand table, but there was no dock marked with the two cities of Yingyang and Nanton, could it be that we did not go straight to the north, so that this place is not between Nanton and Yingyang?" ”

Tang Qi was also a little surprised when he heard this, but he just frowned and did not answer.

Liu Wei said again: "I think now, there is a dock twenty miles east of Nanton City, isn't it here?" ”

"Never." Tang Qi suddenly spoke up and immediately refuted Liu Wei's inference.

"Why?"

"Your Highness, please see." Tang Qi looked around, took a branch on the spot, and randomly drew a few strokes on the loess under him: "We have been separated from Zhang Liao and Yang Gu for less than three days, and the estimated distance will not exceed a hundred miles at most. ”

Liu Wei bowed his head slightly and said, "Not bad." ”

Tang Qi continued: "It is the place where we are separated, and we have not traveled a hundred miles to Nanton, so how can we cross the city of Nanton and reach the dock twenty miles away?" ”

Liu Wei still nodded again and again, and said: "I naturally know the truth, but the dock here is not marked in the geographical atlas of the Han Dynasty, which makes people a little confused." ”

"Your Highness don't have to wonder." After Tang Qi finished speaking, he immediately threw down the branch in his hand, got up and said: "If the dock here was not made by the state and county officials, it would naturally not be included in the geographical atlas of the Han Dynasty. ”

"You mean ......." Liu Wei was slightly stunned.

"Not bad." Tang Qi said with a smile: "In the river flow that Sima went all the way south from Jiuyuan, there are countless simple and dilapidated docks like this, so I thought that this dock was probably built temporarily. ”

Liu Wei nodded and smiled: "It's ridiculous that I didn't even understand such a simple truth, but this kind of facility was not built by the government, and it was thought that it was done by moths." ”

"Not all of them." Tang Qi was noncommittal to Yang Gu's words, but said: "It was built by a moth thief, which is inherently possible, but the dock here is strange. ”

"What's the matter?"

Tang Qi frowned, and said: "Yingyang is only more than 300 miles away from Nanton, and it can be reached in one day by boating along the river, how can you waste manpower in these two cities and set up such a dock again?" ”

Liu Wei suddenly realized again, and continued: "Besides, the surrounding area is barren and dilapidated, if this dock is really used for turnover transportation, it is impossible to say. ”

"Exactly." Tang Qi was even more worried, and said worriedly: "Therefore, I thought that this dock might be a shelter for water thieves. ”

"Water Thief ......"

When Liu Wei heard this, he was taken aback, and just about to ask carefully, he heard that there seemed to be someone shouting and laughing on the Yingshui outside the grass pavilion, and he was stunned again, and said to himself: "It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao, it's really unlucky." ”

"Cao Cao? Isn't it Cao Duwei? Tang Qi was also stunned when he heard Liu Wei's words, and then looked towards Yingshui outside the pavilion, but saw that seven or eight small boats were each carrying more than ten big men, and they were coming to this dock, so he turned around and said to Liu Wei: "It's not Cao Duwei, or the water thieves are coming!." ”

It's not just Liu Wei, but more than ten Yanmen Xiangzi who entered this grass pavilion, and heard Tang Qi shouting, all of them were shocked, but they didn't see it with their own eyes, and they couldn't believe it, they each looked at each other, and they actually came out of the grass pavilion one after another, competing to look at the Yingshui, and after a while, they all turned back into the grass pavilion, and echoed in a mess: "Seven or eight boats, I'm afraid there are hundreds of people." ”

Tang Qi's face was pale, and he was stunned, and hurriedly turned back to Liu Wei, leaned over and said, "Your Highness, and leave quickly with the villagers, and hinder you here for a while." ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Wei naturally sensed the seriousness of the atmosphere, but he was still a little unclear: "What does Zifeng mean, can these water thieves still kill us?" ”

Tang Qi nodded very solemnly, and said sharply: "Your Highness has been in the palace for a long time, naturally you don't know the difficulties of the world, these thieves are tossing and turning between rivers, lakes and seas, mountains, forests and wilderness, it is these murderous deeds that can survive, don't say this again, please leave quickly, if you hesitate, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out if you want to." ”

After speaking, before Liu Wei could react, he saw Tang Qi stand up suddenly, greet several old men who were also in the grass pavilion and say: "Once you have the courage to be the master, you will go with Your Highness quickly, day and night, and return to Zhang Liao and Yang Gu's camp!" ”

Although a few old men said that they were in a bad mood, they were also the elders of the clan in the past, and when they heard Tang Qi's orders, they made a judgment. Seeing that the old man at the head said hello slightly, more than ten townships in Yanmen immediately rushed to pick up Liu Wei, who was sitting on the haystack in a daze, grabbed the door and went south, and fled in a hurry.

The more than 100 water thieves on the Yingshui were already very close to the dock, and suddenly saw more than ten people rushing out of the dock grass hall, and it was an instinctive whistle, and seven or eight people jumped off each boat, crossed the grass pavilion, and chased Liu Wei and the others together. As a result, only one or two thieves were left on each ship to do the business of berthing and anchoring.

Tang Qiwu hid in the grass pavilion, and saw all these things happening in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky, and waited for a while, until all the seven or eight water thieves on the boat came ashore, then he drew out his long knife, burst into a shout, and appeared in front of everyone.

Where did these water thieves think that there was still a person hiding in the grass pavilion, they were all frightened by their sudden appearance, but Tang Qi was like a divine soldier from the sky, and before everyone came to their senses, he took two steps forward and slashed two times, even if he killed the two water thieves who were at the front.

The rest of the people were horrified, and it was too late to draw a knife to fight, only to see that Tang Qi did not stop when he waved a knife to kill, and with the two water thieves screaming and dying, Tang Qi's body was immediately short, and his left hand was copied to the waist of the dead corpse that fell to the ground, but when he saw the remnant sun like blood, the knife shadow flashed, and he saw the two heads accompanied by a terrible scream, and they fell to the ground in response.

As a result, no one dared to come forward to fight, and the remaining five people fled to the boat that had just been parked behind them without looking back.

Where is Tang Qi willing to stop, hearing his angry shout, the two ring-headed knives that have been soaked in blood sacrifice are out of their hands, and in an instant, there are two screams, and two of the remaining five people are stabbed and fall to the ground, fortunately, Tang Qi's long knife is thrown, how much he misses the head, and he fails to hit the vital point, so he will not kill these two people on the spot.

But that's the case, the two people who were hit by the knife must have been in pain, and the sound of crying and screaming really resounded in the sky, and the three water thieves who ran in front of them had comradeship in their hearts, and finally turned around and stopped running.

Tang Qi was also stunned, only then did he realize that the two ring-headed knives in his hands had been thrown, and there were no blades on his body, that is, the two water thieves who had just thrown the knife for himself were also five steps away from him. ”

After speaking, but listening to the long whistle, the three of them followed the sound, and the ring knife in their hands came to Tang Qi's neck, left chest, and lower abdomen.

Tang Qi couldn't dodge left and right, and in desperation, he had to retreat suddenly, not wanting to retreat to three steps, and suddenly felt that his right foot slipped and his center of gravity was unstable, and he was actually sitting down on the corpse of the water thief who had cut off his head before.

The three water thieves in front of him saw Tang Qi trampling the corpse of his companion so badly, they were all sad, and they shouted, and the three knives waved together, and they were about to cut down, fortunately Tang Qi sat on the back of the corpse, and his right hand had already touched the ring knife hanging from his waist, so he pulled it out, and blocked it with a horizontal knife, only to hear the sonorous sound of iron colliding, which just blocked the momentum of the three water thieves, but the power of the three people was really extraordinary, Tang Qi only felt that his right arm was numb, and he had followed Lu Bu since he was a child to be a ranger, crisscrossing the township, Practiced a superb martial arts, this time it was barely able to block the momentum of the three people wielding the knife, and immediately burst into a shout, and the right arm holding the handle of the knife suddenly stretched upward, plus the three water thieves were originally holding the knife in one hand, which was not only for Tang Qi to unload the power of slashing, but this time it was indeed difficult to use force, so that the blade naturally slipped down the blade in Tang Qi's hand, Tang Qi found a gap, and stood up with a strange scream!

"The three of them are together, what is Tang afraid of!" The remnant sun was thin, and Tang Qi raised his sword upright, like a killing god.

The three people in front of them failed to kill Tang Qi with one blow, and most of their confidence had already been lost, and seeing Tang Qi's nine-foot figure standing upright against the light, he was three points timid in his heart, and they all looked at each other, and they all trembled, one of them was quite bold, but he only asked in a trembling voice: "You ...... Who are you? ”

Tang Qi laughed and didn't answer, and took a step forward with his knife.

The three of them couldn't help but take a step back, and the slightly bold man whispered to the little man behind him, "The two of us will work together to stop this person, and you will go and burn the grass pavilion so that the brothers can turn back and rush to help." ”

After speaking, I saw that the person and the water thief on his side looked at each other slightly, shouted in unison, and fought with a knife, and the little water thief immediately ran away to the side and went straight into the grass pavilion.

Tang Qi didn't know what the three people had done, and when he saw the two people in front of him coming with their swords, he naturally didn't dare to be careless, and shouted: "Why is it so death-seeking?" ”

Tang Qi's martial arts are already much higher than these water thieves, coupled with his tall stature, slashing and stabbing is extremely strong, if he really fights three enemies, he may be able to fight for a while, but the two of them are really not his opponents, after a few rounds, the two water thieves in front of him are already scarred, and they just rely on their courage to persist.

Tang Qi saw it in his eyes, it was originally out of the mood of the border ranger hero, and this battle was actually caused by the admiration and admiration of the two water thieves, but suddenly one of them shouted: "Make more fire, so that this grass pavilion can burn faster." ”

Tang Qi heard this, his heart moved, he waved his knife to avoid the two, and looked towards the grass pavilion behind him, only to see that the little water thief actually lit all the four corners of the grass pavilion, it was the dry season, and this grass pavilion was subject to sporadic fires and should not be burned endlessly, not to mention that the four corners were all on fire this time, where could it be contained? At this moment, the fire soared into the sky, and it was even more bright red and dazzling than the remnant sun on the bank of the Yingshui.

"When my brother returns from the fire, see how you thief acts!" At first, the water thieves were excited, as if they felt that as long as they could hold on for a while, their lives would be worry-free, but Tang Qi also raised his head and laughed, and shouted loudly: "I wanted to kill you and others, and burned the boat to make your brothers turn back here. ”

After that, Tang Qi didn't put it on hold anymore, but he saw that the knife was like electricity, and blood was splashed with Changhong.

The poem says: The shadow is like wind and thunder, and the long knife breaks the flowing water. Just a few erectors, killing people is like raising children.
