After nightfall, fireflies fly in the grass along the canal, and cicadas chirp mixed with the sound of frogs, swaying in the breeze. The water waves, the embankment, the rice fields, the dwarf trees, the barracks and the docked big boats by the wharf, the continuous light and fire, the nearby vendors picked up something to sell here, and at this time they have not yet returned, not far from the small shed on the edge of the ridge There are people who have made a fire, set up tables and chairs, invited some people in brocade clothes to sit and eat and drink, occasionally see the bonfire spreading and dancing, and it is also like a farmhouse like experiencing life in later generations.

The weather is already hot in the summer, and most of the people who enter and leave the dock are holding fans, and if they eat on the big ship, they often can't stand the stuffiness in the cabins, so they move the tables and chairs to the side of the ship. It is only when the river breeze blows in gusts and the weather is a little cooler that the sound of cheers can be heard up and down. Most of the people came out to enjoy the breeze. Even the Liangshan minions who were detained on the side of the dock with minor or serious injuries couldn't help but relax in the cage and show a little vitality.

The series of accidents from last night to this time have indeed brought a little solemn atmosphere to the entire fleet, but the overall impact is still limited. The previous battle at Hongze Lake was easily resolved, which had already made everyone happy and applauded, but in this case, although the night before did bring an immersive sense of threat to many powerful people on the ship, but then the encirclement and killing of the people in Liangshan, together with the capture of more than 40 people, finally diluted a little tension again.

For many of the "second generation" with identity backgrounds on the ship, this trip can already be seen as a real enough dart experience that is high enough to shock, the danger is there, but no one is hurt, and now it seems that the enemy is just a chicken, tile dog. And they experience these things firsthand, and they have more talking points to share with others in the future.

Some things can be imagined, once these big ships arrive in Bianliang, the matter about the two of them retreating from the thieves will definitely be talked about. The purpose of their visit to Beijing was to visit, lobby, and win over them during this big birthday. This time the experience. It also provides them with a good chance to do well.

Because of this, although there are still worries that thieves are still coming, even if they leave the dock, they will only walk around and eat something on the nearby ridges and embankments. Most of the people still obeyed the rules a little, and only operated within the alert range, so as not to cause more trouble to the accompanying army - of course. And that's just for the extent to which they cause trouble on a daily basis.

In the bright lights above the main ship, people talked about those Liangshan bandits who were beyond their strength, and also talked about these mountain bandits who would be burned to death the next day with their legs broken. For most people, things are exciting, but there are a small number of people who think it's too cruel or start pointing it out. Without going through the trial of the yamen and filing with the department, whether Chen Jingui is qualified to do such an execution. Among them, there are a small number of people, who tend to think that the people of Liangshan are indeed good men who rob the rich and help the poor, and they were beheaded like this, which is a pity - Zhou Pei walked through the crowd and wrote down all those who had such thoughts.

As the side of the "rich", in turn sympathizes with these heroes who rob the rich. It's not unimaginable. At this time, most of the people who went north with the ship were the second and third generations of the wealthy family. There will be all kinds of romantic ideas in my mind, and even yearn for the freedom of the heroes of the green forest. I hate my family's "being unkind to the rich", and there are all of them. There are also those who sympathize with the injured in the cage after seeing the bleak situation of these people, mostly women, and of course, there is no human rights at this time, so not many people will ask the doctor to go and treat the prisoners.

Of the 43 people arrested, there were 39 minions, and it can be said that the situation at this time was extremely miserable. No one paid attention to the light injuries, and the serious ones were only treated slightly, and they were left there to fend for themselves, and after a day of heat, the wounds began to deteriorate, and the flies came and went, which looked extremely terrifying. It was also for this reason that during the time when she was enjoying the cool on the side of the boat after eating, when Yuan Jin'er decided to go down to see the group of people who were arrested, Ning Yi still opened her mouth to stop it.

"Don't go, it's not good-looking, you will sympathize with them when you see it, but I feel uncomfortable."

"I don't sympathize with those people." Jin'er, who was about to pull Yunzhu off the boat, raised her chin, and then said, "Do you sympathize with them?" ”

Ning Yi smiled on the side of the ship: "It's all the fear of pushing yourself and others, it's nothing if you think about it now, but ...... Their heads are broken, their hands and feet are broken, their bones and flesh are exposed, flies are biting on them, they are crying and shouting, kowtowing on the ground and so on, and you still think they are miserable. I've been to see it, and I'm not very comfortable. ”

"Oh?" Jin'er looked at him for a long time, Yunzhu blinked, and seemed to be a little surprised, Xiaochan on the side showed a look of sudden realization that "it turns out that my uncle will be like this", but after thinking about it, I think it should be like this.

"But...... You're still happy, right? ”

"It's a little bit." Ning Yi blew the wind, leaned on the railing and said with a smile, "How can there be any completely heinous villains, people are like this, they suffer and beg for mercy, which will make you feel very pitiful, some people say that they are forced to do so, and even make you feel empathy." But in the end, it depends on what they do, when they are strong and not caught, they go into other people's houses to burn and loot, and if there is enough time, they catch the woman...... After all, these are the people who do those things. I know you won't sympathize with them, but you still feel sick to your stomach when you see those wounds, it's instinct, so why bother with yourself. ”

His gaze stayed on Yun Zhu and the others for a moment, and after all, he didn't say what would happen if the other party caught the woman. In fact, on the day the Su family was invaded, several such things that happened were later forced to be suppressed by Ning Yi, and they were not publicized to the public, just hoping to give the survivors a way to live, but when they were preparing to go north, there was still a cousin of Su Tan'er who hanged herself. Xiao Chan knew about this matter, but Yun Zhu and Jin'er had never heard of it.

However, after Ning Yi said these words, they also dispelled the idea of going to watch the group of prisoners, but Yun Zhu asked after a while: "I heard that these prisoners have been arrested, and if they want to be sentenced to behead or something, they must be judged through the yamen and handed over to the Yamen for the record. If you really want to kill them, General Chen and Liheng will be blamed, right? ”

Ning Yi shook his head: "That's what I said, but there are also special circumstances, this time the Birthday Gang went north, and it happened to encounter a turbulent situation. Eyeing this batch of things. I don't know how many people there are. If they are kept escorted to Beijing, it may cause the people of Liangshan to take risks and take action against Shengchengang, or even bring the problem to Bianliang. This time on the Queen Mother's birthday, there is a lot of pressure on all parties, more things are better than less things, people are killed, even if they hold grudges, they will go back to Liangshan to take revenge. These things. It is said that the generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, but they can still be understood. ”

After Ning Yi said this, he looked at Yunzhu and smiled. In fact, Yun Zhu was not really interested in this matter, but listened to what others said, and was worried. But he heard Ning Yi say again: "Of course, if someone wants to pick a thorn, there will still be trouble." But no matter what, we can't give Liang Shan the hope and idea of saving people who ran away. For the birth of the Gang, for the sons and brothers on the ship, and for the safety of Bianliang on his birthday, it is all like this. ”

Jin'er thought for a while and said, "Then you can't stop people from coming to save people......

"I can, because I'm faster than them."

"Then why don't you kill them tonight?"

"Hehe......" Ning Yi laughed, "After tonight, you will know the way." ”

Between words. The wind blew in gusts. Cool nights. Everyone was chilled on the boat, and most of them were accompanied by bookkeepers, stewards, or large and small families. When the children run around, the atmosphere on the boat is lively. Then the night deepened, the atmosphere on the ship quieted down with the fading stuffiness, Ning Yi and the others went back to the room, and the maids or wives and concubines called cold water, washed up a little and began to sleep. Different cabins also have different scenes, or whispering, or laughing and chatting, or men and women snuggling quietly together, so that the tranquility of getting along dissipates the irritability.

During this time period, there were only a few figures hiding in the aquatic plants by the riverbed in the distance, watching everything that gradually quieted down here, and there were whispers and conversations between them.

“…… No matter what, if you take the liberty of doing it, with the strength of a few of us, it will not work. That Ning Liheng must have made all kinds of preparations, we can only go all the way north and find ...... Opportunity to count counts ......"

"Why do you go all the way north, they are going to kill people tomorrow, if their legs are broken, what can they do if they are rescued, Brother Zhu, you can wait, I can't wait......"

"Brother Yan." Zhu Wu pressed Yan Qing's shoulder in front of him, "This won't work." ”

"Brother Keyan is right, we can't wait." Zhang Shun said.

"If you believe in me, we will have to wait." Compared with before, Zhu Wu's expression was a little resolute this time, "When they released such news, they just wanted us to not wait, so we could only throw ourselves into the net...... We can only bet that he wouldn't dare to do that. ”

"How to bet?"

"No matter who it is, the death sentence must first be tried by the yamen, sent to the Golden Palace and handed over to the emperor for review, filed for filing, and then executed after the autumn. If there is a person who does not wait for the report to be paid, he will flow two thousand miles. They don't dare to do such a thing, it's just scary! ”

His words made the other two stunned: "If it ......"

"And even if Ning Liheng is a madman, this matter is not only related to him, but also Chen Jingui on the ship. When things are pressed down, a lot of people have to carry them, and they can't afford this kind of thing. As soon as Ning Liheng intervened in his identity, no matter how thick the relationship was, no one else would stand with him in this matter. He can't make a single decision, and people can't kill him. Brother Yan, if he really wants to kill someone, why don't you start doing it today, until tomorrow, he is just waiting for us to come and see, if you are impulsive, you will really fall into his arms! ”

“…… Can...... What if he's really that kind of madman......"

"You can only gamble."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Zhang Shun spoke: "Brother Zhu is right, we can only gamble." Then what to do next, Brother Zhu, you say. ”

Zhu Wu looked at the dock over there and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Stare at them to death, there is no other way, they go north, we will go north, how many people are on the ship, Brother Yan, you are familiar with it, see if there are any loopholes to drill, these people have status, it is impossible for Ning Liheng to control them, these are opportunities." Find Ning Liheng's weaknesses and see how he acts...... We have no way to cut corners now, so we can only slowly find a way to break the game. I have thought that there is still a three-to-five-day trip to Bianliang all the way, and we follow, there are two places where we can do a trial......"

He paused: "His identity is a big problem after all, no matter how many things he has done before, once he wants his subordinates to do water grinding work, there will always be people who are angry." They're in Ming. We're in the dark. That's our only advantage. These days, he will put his men on strict guard, and all aspects will be prepared, and we can only let the brothers who have returned to Shandong try to expose their whereabouts and tell them that we are gone. Ning Liheng wouldn't believe it, but the people under him must have loopholes to exploit...... The people of the imperial court. I'm used to doing things so and so, I don't believe they can really strain their brains all day long and consume us ......"

Since he was ready to play against Ning Yi, in the past half a day, he had already thought about the advantages and disadvantages of each other, and also calculated the possible ways to break the game. Even though it is not a very clear plan at this time, the organization is still clear. The three of them squatted here for a long time. Zhu Wu had already analyzed it almost completely, at this time, the night wind had become stronger, and the four fields were dark, and suddenly, a small detail on the boat attracted Yan Qing's attention, and he said in a low voice: "Look." ”

Among the three, Zhu Wu is good at calculation and is clearly organized. Yan Qing is delicate. The most responsive. All he could see was a faint flash of fire on the hull. It's a long way off. The three of them couldn't tell what was going on, but they gradually got closer, and at one moment, they suddenly saw a black shadow jumping down from the side of the ship.

The three of them were taken aback, no matter how they thought about it, they didn't expect such a scene to happen, and when they saw several black shadows coming down one after another, and then disappearing into the darkness. Yan Qing had already thought that he was escaping from prison, and he was about to go over to answer it, Zhu Wu held him down: "Wait, this matter is not impossible, but it is very strange, let's take a look...... What's more, Brother Yan, you can't do anything in the past......"

He was right. It was mainly because the latter sentence made sense that Yan Qing held back her mood, but just a moment later, she heard a gong suddenly sound on the boat, and someone shouted: "The prisoner has escaped!" The prisoner escaped! "The whole little pier just exploded.

At this time, many people had escaped from the side of the pier, apparently the people who escaped from the big boat then went to rescue the Liangshan brothers who were locked in cages next to them, but perhaps they were found out after saving a small half, and they were already fighting in the blink of an eye. There were only more than ten or twenty people who ran, and they didn't dare to fight, so they turned over and tried to escape, and then they were shot by arrows and killed a few people.

Zhang Shun and Yan Qing immediately wanted to go to the rescue, but Zhu Wu just wanted to drag them down to see the situation. In fact, he also knew in his heart that even if Ning Yi was good at planning, it didn't mean that he could train a group of imperial court generals into elites. No matter how good the plan is, it is also a common thing that the people under him have loopholes. Then I heard someone shouting in the night: "Catch them!" Touched away Lu Junyi! He suddenly relieved himself: "No problem, let's go and answer it!" Even if I was so lucky in my heart, there was less suspicion.

During the chase, Zhang Shun asked in a low voice why he knew that there was no problem with Lu Dao now, and Zhu Wu said: "Lu Yuanwai is our second master, and since the imperial court knows his name, it must also know the status of Lu Dao." Just catching him is a great credit, and no one wants to use outsiders as bait...... It's just that you need to be more careful and be cautious. ”

What he said was right, Zhang Shun nodded, and caught up all the way. In the darkness of the night, the soldiers near the pier chased after them and surrounded them. But among the people who escaped, there was indeed Lu Junyi, and several leaders were masters, even those minions, all of whom were elites. After chasing and fleeing all the way, several more people were killed, but then Lu Junyi and others still rushed into the night, and Yan Qing and others had already prepared a few horses in one place, and then caught up and led the escape.

The soldiers and horses of Xuzhou that were mobilized when they were encircling and suppressing the people in Liangshan could not come at this time. There are more than 300 sailors on board, even if they have a certain combat effectiveness, but after all, they can only divide one or two hundred to chase and kill. When Lu Junyi and the others rushed into the night and gradually widened the distance, it was like a dragon returning to the sea, and this side could no longer sweep through the advantage of thousands of troops. But this time, the soldiers under Chen Jingui's command also knew that if they couldn't catch up, they would make a big mistake, and they almost bit behind their backs for two hours, and Lu Junyi, Yan Qing and others finally really distanced themselves from them.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and everyone was still running all the way, and on the way, Zhu Wu asked what happened, only to know that the reason why they escaped this time was because of Jinmao Hu Yanshun. Yan Shun's martial arts are there, but they are not outstanding in Liangshan. Everyone on the boat may have caught Lu Junyi, and most of their attention was on him, but they didn't know that Yan Shun had some small tricks when he was mixed with the rivers and lakes, he seized a small opportunity to secretly get half a thick wire after being captured, and then gradually picked the lock, and only found a chance to escape in the middle of the night. This way, he saved Chen Da and Zheng Tianshou, and then rescued Lu Junyi, God blessed Liangshan, so there was a later scene.

The four of them are all masters, and they have come out and defeated more than ten people along the way. None of them went unnoticed. I wanted to rescue all the brothers who were captured, but it was later discovered, and now it is the best result. When a few people said this, the morale of the team was greatly boosted, and they naturally did not stop for a moment and fled quickly.

Although they are the aftermath of the catastrophe, their hearts are happy. But they had already suffered Ning Yi's big loss, and they didn't dare to stay any longer. Along the way, pay special attention to whether there are still pursuers coming from the rear. These people are all veterans of the rivers and lakes, and at this time, they put twelve points of caution, and after nearly an hour, they twisted and turned. Finally reunited with Lu Fang, Sun Xin, and the dozens of surviving people who had transferred the place.

This time they did not dare to celebrate again, and after converging, they quickly began to move again. After running for more than ten miles, it is a relatively lively place in Xuzhou, and it is difficult to find a safe and difficult place to find. It was expected to be a little far away, and after some more exploration and vigilance, it finally stopped, at this time. After two days of fighting and fleeing, the people who have suffered various injuries and tensed nerves have also reached the verge of declining physical strength.

They were running for their lives all the way. The overdraft was huge, but it was already far from the dock. It was the darkest time before dawn. After a while, I am afraid that there will be chickens and dogs barking in the distance, which will reveal the white belly of the fish. Everyone found a hunter's hut in the complicated mountains, which was still inaccessible. At this time, Lu Fang and the others, who had already rested in the afternoon, went out to sentry, and Zhu Wu and the others were finally able to take a breath and start talking, laughing and celebrating.

Talking and further bandaging the wounded were also in the dark, they didn t dare to shine, Yan Shun smiled and talked about the luck in the process of escaping, and talked about the deflated food that Ning Liheng ate this time.

"I want to see how that guy looks now......"

"In short, this time I returned to Liangshan, and the next stop was Jiangning. I must avenge this revenge! ”

"If you didn't say it, let's go together."

"Arrest him back to Liangshan, I will cut his heart with my own hands in front of the Juyi Hall, so as to comfort the souls of the brothers in the sky!"

"As I ...... I"

"Ahh

As he spoke, the screams tore through the night sky abruptly, and the people suddenly rose from the ground, and although the hut was made of grass and trees, the windows were open, and something flew up and fell in the night sky.

That's the light.

Rockets streaked across the night sky, whistling down, sparsely stuck on wooden houses, between lawns, and into the trees.

Not far away, the sound of weapons clashing could already be heard. Lu Fang shouted over there: "Go! Walk! ”

The figure rushed out.

When a few people rushed out of the house, there was already a chaotic battle around them, judging from the trees of the rocket, there may not be a few thousand, but they have already surpassed the dozens of people in Liangshan, not to mention that everyone in Liangshan has become disabled and tired.

Lu Fang brandished Fang Tian's halberd, and had already quickly withdrawn from the woods over there, and then only heard a loud bang, and the blood light bloomed. Lu Fang's strength on Liangshan was not weak, but at this time, he was already injured on his body, he was hit by two arrows in the dark, and he fought fiercely with people in a hurry, but with that loud noise, he shouted sadly, and blood appeared behind him. Immediately after that, he was swung with a spear on his body, and he staggered back, and he could only use Fang Tian's halberd to support his body.

The figures of Ning Yi and the others had already strode out of the darkness over there.

From the beginning, the whole scene of the fight broke out to the most intense level as soon as it came into contact, far less ironic than the last clapping, but for the people of Liangshan, it was almost overwhelmingly overwhelming. Ning Yi didn't seem to have stopped at all from the beginning, until he appeared in front of everyone at this time, he withdrew the fire gun in his hand, and he was still moving forward, his face was as cold as frost, this time it was indeed a killing intent that left no room for it.

Over there, Lu Fang's stomach had probably been broken, but he roared, and he had to rush forward again, Ning Yi strode over, waved his hands, grabbed the Fang Tian painting halberd that he wanted to swing with one hand, and slammed the war knife on Lu Fang's chest with the other hand, this knife slashed down, and the bones had already burst open, and then with a backhand knife, he slashed Lu Fang's arm, and blood spilled into the air. Lu Fang's body was kicked back by Qi Xinhan, who came later.

"Ahh

On the other side, Ning Yi was also talking, and the words came with the night: "'Little Wenhou' Lu Fang!" 'Little Captain Chi' Sun Xin! 'Langli Baitiao' Zhang Shun...... I really didn't leave. It is said that if you don't die, you won't die, but you just don't understand what you're doing! ”

He strode over, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Fang's hair, in fact, Lu Fang was just falling backwards with the most reflex, although the blood was still spraying, the person was estimated to be dead, and his body was halfway down, and he had become dragged by Ning Yi with one hand, and then he stabbed with a backhand, poof, and under the force of breaking the six paths, he cut off his head. The man's head was thrown by Ning Yi like a cannonball and smashed on the wall of the house next to everyone. Bang, drop to the ground.

"Lu Junyi, Yan Qing's 'Divine Machine Military Division' Zhu Wu! What the hell are you thinking, in the past half a month, I have more than 200 plans and decisions made for you bastards......"

An elite Liangshan rushed over, and then his chest was pierced by a spear. Ning Yi kicked the corpse out of the air and approached.

“…… You are not even a hundred miles away from me now, and you can feel that your life is safe!? ”
