Lao Peng's face was still very calm, and he glanced at Xu Zizhen's short hair and the fire gun in his hand: "If you read it right, you are Xu Zizhen?" ”

Xu Zizhen nodded: "It's easy to say, it's me." ”

Lao Peng was silent for a moment and said, "Since you are on this ship today, then I will give you a face." He waved his hand, "Go, go back." ”

The pirates looked at the dozen or so firearms in awe, turned around and prepared to leave, they had never heard of this thing, but they didn't dare to provoke it.

Xu Zizhen smiled: "Did I let you go?" ”

Lao Peng's footsteps stopped, looked at him sideways, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you Xu Zizhen is capable, but this is the sea, and we don't have your good fruit to eat." ”

"Yo, threaten me? Tell me what fruit you have for me? Xu Zizhen withdrew the firecracker, crossed his arms and looked at Lao Peng with a smile.

"Are you really the only one there are so many of us? If you don't want your good ship to break through a hole, just retreat, for the sake of you killing so many golden dogs, I don't have the same knowledge as you. ”

"Oh? You're not going to ask me for money? ”

Lao Peng looked at Xu Zizhen and said: "I thought it was your caravan, and according to our rules, it was to come up and ask for some fortune, but since you are here, I always respect you as a man, so naturally I don't come to embarrass you." ”

Xu Zizhen smiled more and more meaningfully: "Have you heard that I was kicked out of the capital?" ”

"I heard." Lao Peng said, "But I don't believe it, I don't know if you let open the door when Bianjing was broken, I only know that the so many golden dogs you killed are not fake." ”

Xu Zizhen applauded and said to the sailors around him: "Look, there are still people who understand, put away the guys, I have to hand over one of these brothers." ”

The sailors withdrew their guns, and one of the men went to the side of the ship and shouted, "All right, be polite to these gentlemen, come up." ”

Then the sailors came to the side of the ship, lowered the cables, and soon saw wet men climb up, all bare-chested and barefoot, carrying men in their hands, and climbing up to the ship with only one hand and two feet, and as fast and steady as walking on the ground.

Lao Peng's eyes widened violently, because those who were lifted up in their hands were his brothers, originally their way to hijack the boat was half to jump on the boat and half to slip into the water, and the hijacking on the boat did not succeed in relying on the underwater brothers to scuttle the boat, this routine was tried and tested repeatedly, but I didn't expect to lose my hand today, and these more than 20 brothers were all knocked over and knocked out by people in the water, and then tied their hands and captured them alive.

Xu Zizhen smiled, sat back on the bamboo chair, and pointed to a chair next to him: "Lao Peng, right?" Sit. ”

Lao Peng's face was finally no longer calm, and he sat down with a wry smile, otherwise what should I do? Everyone was wrapped, even if Xu Zizhen didn't use firearms, these people on the boat were enough to deal with them at the moment, but he was a little depressed, when did Xu Zizhen have so many good hands in the water, and he caught all of him silently under his nose.

"Come, come, sit down and talk." Xu Zizhen greeted Lao Peng's companion with a smile, and then turned his head and ordered, "Bring the wine, I want to have a good drink with these newfound brothers." ”

"Yes." Since someone went down to prepare, it didn't take long for the drinks and dishes to be brought up.

Usually the merchant ships are prepared with dry food, dried meat and water, but Xu Zizhen's ship is full of wine and meat, although Lao Peng and other people are pirates, but they usually eat mainly sea fish, seeing the pots of big fish and meat on the table, they have already begun to drool secretly, not to mention that there is also a good wine that is not cheap when it looks like an altar.

"Don't just watch, come, go!" Xu Zizhen waved his hand, Bao'er and Li Meng were in charge of pouring wine, one by one the big bowls were full, the meat pieces on the table were shiny and fragrant, Lao Peng and the others were already mixed with the rivers and lakes, and they were no longer polite, so they ate and drank as soon as they started.

A leg of mutton went down, Lao Peng raised a bowl of wine and said to Xu Zizhen: "I have always heard that Mr. Xu is bold, today is a lesson, no matter what you do with us later, this bowl of wine, I have to respect you first!" He finished and took the bowl and drank it all.

Xu Zizhen didn't say much, leaned his neck and accompanied the bowl cleanly, put down the bowl and said with a smile: "If you don't dispose of it, put it aside first, since you said make a friend, let's not talk about it first?" ”

"Okay!" Lao Peng is also a happy person, and chatted with Xu Zizhen while eating and drinking.

These people are actually Dengzhou people, their ancestors are fishing for a living, so they are all trained to be a good water nature, Dengzhou fell to the Jin people after they had resisted with the rebels, but unfortunately in the end ended in failure, the rebels broke a lot of manpower, and their fellow villagers also died a lot, so Lao Peng was disheartened and pulled some old guys, and got a few fishing boats to become water bandits.

It is said that it is a water bandit, but they never rob the fishermen along the coast, but recognize the name of the business, and they will get some silver and goods for ordinary businesses, but when they meet the merchant ships of the gold people, they not only ask for silver, but also kill a few gold people to get angry and so on, so the coastal area knows the name of Lao Peng and their gang.

The Great Song Dynasty originally had a Dengzhou naval army, but since the fall was taken over by the Jin people, the Jin army also sent people to suppress them, but Lao Peng and they have another foothold, but they are on an island in the sea, very hidden, the Jin army has not touched their shadow several times, but they have been attacked several times by relying on the speed of the boat.

It's just that today, Lao Peng and their luck were not good, and they ran into Xu Zizhen, who originally came to see the ship and thought that they could make a fortune, but they didn't expect that this one was not lightly planted, and even the people and the boat were all detained.

Speaking of this, Lao Peng smiled bitterly: "It's no wonder that I don't have long eyes, thinking that you Xu Zizhen is brave on land, and you are always not our opponent in the water, but I didn't expect this face to be lost." ”

Xu Zizhen smiled and asked, "Lao Peng, have you heard of Taihu Lake Water Village?" ”

Lao Peng was stunned: "Of course I've heard that their village owner's surname is Hao, and he is a well-known man." ”

Xu Zizhen called the man who was shouting on the side of the boat just now: "Let me introduce you, this is Brother Tang Qiantang, the leader of the master of Hao Zhai in Taihu Lake, and the dozen or so people who surrounded you just now are all heroes of Taihu Lake." ”

Lao Peng was shocked, and quickly stood up and saluted, and the dozens of people under him also got up together, and it can be seen that the name of Taihu Lake Water Village in the water bandit world is still very loud.

Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "Don't say it's you Lao Peng, no one would have thought that the whole nest of Taihu Lake Water Village is on my boat, and you will suffer a loss if you have a heart or not." ”

Lao Peng also laughed, and the depression in his heart was swept away at once, but he suddenly stopped laughing a few times, and asked with wide eyes: "Are the heroes of Taihu Lake Water Village here?" Are you going to fight the golden dog? ”
