The five of them went to Ezhou, Tang Hai wanted to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, invited Shi'an to accompany him, and persuaded: "Brother, you have excellent character, and excellent martial arts, it is a pity to wander the rivers and lakes alone, you go with the eldest brother, our brothers are a few brothers to break the evil and establish righteousness, seek justice in the world, and the eldest brother will ensure that you will gallop on the battlefield in the future and become famous in the world." ”

Shi'an secretly thought: Although the four Tang Hai are heroic, but what they do is all murder and plunder, if I join the thief ship, this life will never recover, so he replied: "Big brother, Shi'an's family still has three acres of mulberry orchards, and now that both parents are dead, Shi'an has to go back to guard his family and inherit his business, and he can't go with his four brothers." ”

Tang Haidao: "The world is chaotic, how can it be home? If my brother follows the four of us across the rivers and lakes, Kyushu and the four seas will be able to find a career, wouldn't it be better than guarding the land and protecting the industry at home? ”

Shan Yong also persuaded: "Yes, we are not wandering the rivers and lakes to eat, drink and have fun, the eldest brother leads us to break the evil and establish the right way for the heavens, and when the time is ripe in the future, we will gallop around the world and do a great job." ”

Lin Yuan said: "With your kung fu, wouldn't it be a pity to farm at home?" ”

Ye Yang said with a smile: "Those few acres of mulberry orchards are worth a few taels of silver, not enough for me to pay for a meal, don't you want to be free and happy, prefer the wilderness and three points of land, stupid or not?" ”

Shi'an said: "Thank you to the four eldest brothers, how can the younger brother be quiet and quiet, and he doesn't like to kill, and I hope to understand." ”

Tang Hai loved Shi'an's martial arts and morality, and vowed to be included in his command, and replied: "Brother, although we kill people, we never hurt innocent people, all we kill are corrupt officials and bullies with bad deeds, besides, you have killed people, if you go back to Gao County to settle down, how can the officials of Wuchang Mansion and the remnants of Shenlongzhai be idle?" It's better to follow us for the time being, and then find another way out when you have a good place to go in the future, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will never force you to stay. ”

Shi'an thought secretly, what Tang Hai said is indeed somewhat reasonable, I first committed a crime in Gao County, and then killed people in Wuchang, all of which are major cases that are not forgiven, it has been a year since I escaped from Shaolin Temple, and it is impossible to find Huang Ming to join the army, if I leave Tang Hai and the four people, I really have nowhere to go. After thinking about it, he had to say: "Okay, Shi'an will go with the eldest brother for the time being, if there is an idle place in the future, the eldest brother will blame Shi'an for having a beginning and an end." ”

Tang Hai was overjoyed and said: "That's nature. ”

The five of them traveled eastward and walked for more than ten days to Suzhou.

The ancients said that there was heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the five of them swam in Suzhou for half a month, and visited the charming scenery of Qiongji Lake, so they invited each other to come to the lakeside to play. Tang Hai saw that there was a stone by the lake, and the words "where Qiongji jumped into the lake" were written on it, and he couldn't help but murmur softly:

Dream goodbye to the head of the Hibiscus Palace, who will collect the fallen hairpins?

The earth is dusk and the mirror is forgotten, and the moon is cold and the pearls hate autumn.

The elk used to be in the abandoned garden, and the cattle and sheep are now on the barren hills.

If the incense soul complains about the country, don't travel with Xi Shi.

Ye Yang smiled at Lin Yuan and said, "Big brother has to compose poems when he sees a stone." Tang Haidao: "This is the poem of the predecessor Gao Qi, I swam here, remembered the allusion of Qiong Ji jumping into the lake, so I chanted it." Ye Yangqi said: "There are also allusions to stones? Shan Yong said: "Big brother, what allusion?" Lin Yuan also leaned over and said, "Big brother knows the past and the present, let's listen to it." Shi'an also looked at Tang Hai with a look of anticipation.

Tang Hai looked at the four brothers, he smiled and walked away, Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, Ye Yang, and Shi'an hurriedly followed, Tang Hai said slowly: "Wu Wangfu has a female Qiongji, beautiful and smart, Yue Wang Goujian used a beauty trick to confuse King Wu, and was recognized by Qiongji, Qiongji repeatedly admonished her father, but her husband did not listen, and detained Qiongji on the shore of this lake, so that her daughter could think about the lake. Later, the king of Yue Goujian besieged Wu Wangfu and sent Gusu, and the king of Wu wanted to send the female Qiongji to the king of Yue to sue for peace, but Qiongji did not want to be humiliated and committed suicide by jumping into the lake. ”

Shan Yong said: "No wonder this lake is called Qiongji Lake, the husband is mediocre, and he deserves his defeat." Lin Yuan said: "Gou Jian has been lying on the salary for ten years and is a rare hero." Ye Yang scolded: "Wu Wangfu is so greedy that he doesn't even recognize his daughter, what is it?" Shi'an sighed: "Men are competitive, but it is women who suffer!" ”

Tang Hai said with a smile: "The second, third, and fourth brothers, like the world, all misunderstood their husbands, Miao praised Gou Jian, but what Brother Shi'an said made some sense." ”

"Oh, big brother has another opinion?" Lin Yuan asked. Shan Yong also said: "Gou Jian endures humiliation, is inspirational, the husband is mediocre and lewd, and kills Zhongliang indiscriminately, this matter has been concluded for thousands of years, is it all wrong?" ”

Tang Haidao: "The old king of Wu and the king of Yue Goujian fought in the Li, and the king of Yue fled back to China with serious injuries, and before he died, he told his son to take revenge. Fucha succeeded to the throne of Wu, and ordered the guards to shout in unison every morning when he walked out of the dormitory: 'Fucha, have you forgotten the enmity of the previous king?' At this time, the husband replied in a loud voice, "Don't dare to forget," and then buried himself in state affairs. After a year of hard work, Wu restored its national strength, Fujiao defeated Yue in a battle, and captured the king of Yue Goujian in Gusu. In order to survive, Gou Jian groveled, repented and begged for mercy, and did his best to welcome his husband: the husband traveled, and Gou Jian led the horse; The husband goes to bed, and the hook is off; The husband was sick, and Gou Jian tasted the manure of the husband to break the condition. The husband was deceived and mistakenly thought that Goujian, the king of Yue, was a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and could not bear to punish Daxian for personal enmity, so he let him return to China. After returning to the Yue Kingdom, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, did not think about the grace of the king of Wu not to kill, but instead tried his courage and used Wen Zhong's seven strategies to plot against the Wu country. Later, the husband was deceived by Gou Jian and led his division on an expedition, but was attacked by Gou Jian in the rear, and killed himself after the defeat. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Hai asked rhetorically: "Four brothers, the husband is sent to avenge his father, inspirational and strong, isn't it great filial piety and bravery?" Isn't it great benevolence and righteousness to capture the enemy, see the benevolence of the enemy, and can't bear to kill? And what about Goujian, the king of Yue, as the king of a country, is it shameful to bend his knees to survive after defeat? After being released, wouldn't it be ungrateful to use poison to plot against the state of Wu? Therefore, in my opinion, Fucha is a true hero, and Gou Jian is extremely shameless. ”

Shan Yong nodded, and Lin Yuan praised: "The eldest brother is very right, in order to survive, Gou Jian did not hesitate to make cattle and horses for the enemy, and taste the dung, although he was lucky and successful, it was also disgraceful. ”

Shan Yong said: "In this way, although Wu Wangfu was defeated, he also died a dignified death. ”

Ye Yang shouted: "In my opinion, King Wu and King Yue are all kings, and being a king is not a good thing, they are not kings and hegemons, but they also have to eat other people's feces, how can I be as happy as my brothers, although we do not have the power of kings, but we also want gold and gold, and silver and silver, which is a hundred times better than them." ”

Tang Hai said with a smile: "The fourth brother usually talks about it, but there is some truth in what he said today. ”

The excitement is thick, and the sky is gradually twilight.

On the way back to Suzhou, the five of them laughed while walking, and when they came to a quiet mountain road deep in the forest, Ye Yang looked around, left and right, and Lin Yuan said: "There is no scenery here, what do you see?" ”

Ye Yang smiled: "I'm looking, it's remote here, and it's a good place for robbery." ”

The five of them were walking along, and suddenly saw three people standing in the middle of the road ahead, and in the darkness they could faintly see that they were holding weapons, obviously not of the good type.

"The heroes see the same thing, and the three of my brothers also think it's a good place to rob," the other man said coldly, while the other two laughed strangely.

Ye Yang looked ignorant, I said that this is a good place for robbery, and I really encountered a robbery.

Tang Hai arched his hand and said, "Who are the three heroes?" ”

The leader said: "I am the harrier in Changzhou Mansion, the two brothers are the king of the troubled times in Mizhi County, and the oil in Pingliang Mansion, my brothers and the three want to go to Shandong to do big things, how can they not be entangled, and I borrow some silver taels from the five heroes, and I hope that the eldest brother will not be stingy." ”

Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang were furious, but Tang Hai said with a smile: "It's not that I'm stingy, my five brothers are also stateless people in the world, and they are down-and-out people, although they have the intention to fund the three heroes, they can't do anything." ”

The head of the drill harrier said: "Don't give the master a clever tongue, your brother said by the Qiongji Lake that you want gold, gold and silver, otherwise, my three brothers will not bother to wait for you here!" ”

Tang Hai said with a smile: "I see, since you already know that we have silver, then I won't hide it from you, we do have endless gold and silver, if the three of you can snatch it all, you will be rich and worry-free for the rest of your life." It's just that there are only three of you, how can you beat me five? ”

The Sky Drill Harrier raised his knife, blew a few breaths towards the edge of the knife, and sneered, "You don't want to live, and I don't mind letting your blood stain my blade." ”

After saying that, the Sky Harrier waved his hand lightly, and the king of troubled times rushed over with a knife, Ye Yang took out his long sword and said: "I just said that it is not a good thing to be called king during the day, but I encountered it at night, and it is okay, the lord slaughtered you, the king of troubled times." ”

The two fought with each other for a long time, and Tang Hai couldn't help but be secretly surprised. At this moment, the oil slipped and slashed, Lin Yuan didn't bring a weapon today, so he picked up a wooden stick and rushed up to fight. You Lihua was not Lin Yuan's opponent, and after a few fights, Lin Yuan snatched the knife away, so he had to be defeated in embarrassment. Lin Yuan raised his knife and chased after him, but the oil was slippery and dexterous, scurrying around in the forest, Lin Yuan repeatedly cut the air, and couldn't help but scold: "Don't go if you have the ability, you still come out to rob with this little effort?" ”

Seeing Lin Yuan humiliating his brother, the Sky Harrier rushed over with a knife and said, "I'll fight you." Lin Yuan abandoned the oil slide to fight the Harrier, and the two fought several times to distinguish Zhong Bo. Tang Hai whispered to Shan Yong: "Second brother, you go and capture the Sky Harrier." Shan Yong took the order, ran straight over with his bare hands, and shouted: "Drill the Sky Harrier, I'll capture you." ”

Seeing that Shan Yong was coming, the Drill Sky Harrier hurriedly put aside Lin Yuan, and pointed at Shan Yong to meet him, and when the two were about to approach, Shan Yong opened the tip of the knife with one hand, and slapped the front chest of the Drill Sky Harrier with the other hand. The Sky Harrier was shocked, and with a scream of "ah", the knife fell out of his hand, and the person fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Seeing this, he was anxious to come to help, but was grabbed by Lin Yuan and pressed to the ground.

Seeing that his two companions were subdued, the king of the troubled world immediately panicked, and was kicked away by Ye Yang. The king of troubled times was about to escape, but he was kicked in the chest by Ye Yangfei, and he was unsteady for a while, and he staggered a few steps and fell to the side of the road. Ye Yang raised his knife to slash, but Tang Hai shouted: "Don't kill him." ”

Tang Hai came to the Drill Sky Harrier and asked, "Drill Sky Harrier, the three of you want to go to Shandong to do a big thing, what do you want to do?" ”

The Sky Harrier closed his eyes and didn't say anything, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Ye Yang asked the King of Troubled Times, this King of Troubled Times is also a hard bone, and he snorted and then kept silent.

Lin Yuan saw that the two of them didn't speak, and was about to interrogate Youlihua, but before he could speak, Youlislip spoke first: "Tell the five heroes, I heard that there is a rich man Xu Hongyu in Juye, Shandong, who has a lot of money and recruits heroes from all over the world. ”

Tang Hai pondered for a while and said with a smile: "It's not Xu Hongyu who you want to vote for, it's Xu Hongru who gathered people to rebel, right?" You are so bold, this is a great sin to destroy the Nine Clans! ”

You Lili was startled, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, it is Xu Hongyu who we want to take refuge in, not Xu Hongru." ”

Lin Yuan slapped his oily head vigorously and scolded, "So you are going to do the extermination of the clan? No wonder it's hidden. ”

The Sky Harrier said angrily: "What if it's Xu Hongru? ”

Tang Hai said with a smile: "It's good, my five brothers will send the three of you to the official mansion, just to receive a bounty." He said to Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang: "Brothers, tie them up and receive the reward." ”

Tang Hai and Shi'an turned around and left, Tang Hai said to Shi'an as he walked: "I never thought that I could get a big reward for a lucky trip, happy, happy, haha." ”

Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Don't be joking, heroes, I know you won't send us to the official mansion." ”

Tang Hai turned around and said, "Oh, how can you see it? ”

You Li said: "I went to the government, you said that the three of us were going to take refuge in Xu Hongru, we can also say that the five of you were going to take refuge in Xu Hongru, my three brothers wanted to arrest the anti-thief, but they were arrested by the anti-thief, the government does not know the truth, and will definitely detain the eight of us together, and then make a decision after finding out the truth." The five heroes are extraordinary in martial arts, they are by no means ordinary people, in my opinion, there should be a lot of murders in their hands, and the nine clans who were destroyed will not know who it is! ”

Ye Yang was furious and roared: "My brother is the famous 'No. 1 thief in the world' on the rivers and lakes, what's the matter? The lord slaughtered you today, and you will go to the king of Hades to report to you. Ye Yang let go of the king of troubled times, and pounced on it to cut the oil slippery, and the oil slippery was so frightened that he went straight to the cold man, and shouted in a panic: "Kill me is a curse, spare me is a blessing." ”

Tang Hai stopped Ye Yang and asked the oil slider: "How can you say that it is a disaster to kill you, and it is a blessing to spare you?" ”

You Li said: "Now that the court is rotten, the people are struggling to make a living, and the people are anxious for the heroes of the world to save them." Recently, I heard that the people of Longnan have changed drastically, the hungry people in Guangyuan have been exposed, and the farmers in Xunzhou have raised their righteousness. Of course, we do not avoid life and death, but the swift swing of the hero's sword makes the people of the world hopeless, isn't it a disaster for the people? On the contrary, if the five heroes can have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, understand the principle of prosperity and death, plan for the world, let my three brothers and one horse, and the three of us gallop across the battlefield one day, Liu Guanzhang will be reborn, and Li Min will be hopefully saved, isn't it a blessing?

The words of the oil slippery made Tang Hai cry and laugh, and scolded with a smile: "You are really oily!" After a pause, he said, "Okay, I won't embarrass the three of you today, let's go." ”

The King of the Troubled Times ran over to help the Drill Harrier, and the Drill Harrier approached and asked, "Dare to ask if the hero is really the legendary number one thief in the world?" ”

Tang Hai also returned the salute: "Tang Hai has a false name, and the three heroes are determined to help the world, and they are true heroes." ”

When the Sky Harrier heard this, he hurriedly bowed again: "Disrespectful, my three brothers have eyes and don't know Mount Tai." ”

Tang Hai helped him up and said: "The three heroes are extraordinary and ambitious, Tang Hai admires them. He also asked Lin Yuan to let go of the oil, took one ingot of gold and two ingots of silver, handed it to the Drill Sky Harrier and said: "The three heroes are not entangled, Tang Hai is willing to do his best, I hope to act righteous in the future, and don't forget today's oath." ”

Seeing Tang Hai's generous move, his eyes stared at the gold and silver in the hand of the Drill Sky Harrier and smiled: "Hehe, I can't imagine that the world's No. 1 thief is still a good person who is kinder than the 'Jin Shanren', thank you." ”

The oil slipped and snatched the silver, and hid it with a smile. Drill the Sky Harrier invited: "When the storm is surging today, the heroes of the Quartet are ready to go, and the five heroes have the means, why not take this great opportunity to make contributions and make a name for themselves?" ”

Ye Yang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yes, big brother, we play the rivers and lakes, at most kill a few corrupt officials and gentry, it is better to rise up with the heroes and kill him happily." ”

Tang Hai didn't pay attention to Ye Yang, and bowed to the Drill Sky Harrier, the King of the Troubled Times, and the Oil Slide: "May the three heroes be successful on the battlefield one day and stop harming the innocent." ”

Seeing that Tang Hai had no intention of gathering righteousness, the Diamond Harrier had no choice but to thank him: "If we can meet in the future, we will definitely repay the hero for giving gold and silver." ”
