Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Seal of King Wu
Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Seal of King Wu
Everyone stood on the boat, their bodies shook, and the boatman took advantage of the fact that a few people were not beaten, and suddenly, he smashed a bowl with powder into Yang Cheng's face.
Yang Cheng had already taken precautions, and his body quickly backhanded a block, knocking the bowl of poisonous rice noodles to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the boatman turned around and drew a scimitar, slashed at it, and shouted fiercely:
"I don't want to die in a daze, okay, since you have to be a ghost like this, Lao Tzu will fulfill you!"
On the other side, Niu Eating Grass and the others noticed that someone had jumped on the boat, and when they looked back, they saw that it was the rough man and the young young man who had just rowed past. They quietly missed the boat where Xu Qing was sitting, and took advantage of the boatman's affair to be exposed, so they jumped on the boat to help.
At this time, the two of them were also hideous, carrying a bright knife and pounced.
said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, Niu Eating Grass and Wang Shan took out a knife from the burden behind him, bowed down, and also faced the two of them against each other. Several people's knives slashed each other, sonorous, you come and go, Shihe in the past, but still can't tell the top and bottom.
Although the cow grazing was a temporary response to the enemy, after more than a dozen rounds, relying on the experience and strong strength of the veteran, he gradually suppressed the opponent. Xu Qing was beside him, and Zhang Linlin, he also picked up a knife, but he went to help Yang Cheng, who was fighting with the boatman. The two tigers fight wolves, no matter how vicious the boatman is, he will eventually be unable to deal with it, and gradually show signs of defeat.
Both sides are fighting with the strength of their lives, not at all like what is written in the novel, three moves and five styles can sweep thousands of troops.
The fight on both sides was fierce, but Xu Qing only had a pair of chopsticks and a bowl in his hand, and the knife was still in the baggage, and the baggage was in the cabin, where did he get it? I can only watch.
The rough man saw that he couldn't stand up, and he knew that today's thing was to fight with his life, so he forcibly lifted his stomach and chopped the cow to eat grass a few times. The cow grazing subconsciously avoided its edge, dodged, and revealed a gap, and this gap just happened to see Xu Qing standing stupidly.
The rough man saw Xu Qing behind the empty block stunned by the empty hand, thinking about shooting people and horses first, captured, and the "thief" captured the king first, so he jumped over with the determination to die, raised the steel knife like a mountain, like the momentum of the sea, and shouted in response to the shout, and chopped down.
When Niu Eating Grass saw that Xu Qing was exposed, he was also very angry and remorseful, and hurried over to help Xu Qing. Xu Qing didn't have anything in his hand, so he had to throw the chopsticks and bowl over and smash them on the face of the rough man. But these two things failed to stop the fall of the knife, and Xu Qing took a step back in fright.
Unexpectedly, this step was mixed on the side of the boat, one was unstable, Xu Qing fell into the water upside down, and the deadly knife was only cut on the side of the boat.
Moreover, the knife was pinched in the wood and could not be pulled out for a while. At this time, the cow grazing catches up, and it is also a knife cut.
The skull rolls off, and blood splatters on the spot!
Xu Qing choked a few mouthfuls in the water and showed his head, just as Zhang Forestry also cut off the boatman's calf, and Yang Cheng caught him. The cow grazing and swung the knife backwards, and the back of the knife slashed at the young descendant who was fighting with Wang Shan, knocking him to the ground.
"Ah, it's cold!" Xu Qingxin said in the water, fortunately, he can also swim a little, and now he can not choke on water, but in this midwinter season, the temperature of snow not long ago, how cold is the water?! Xu Qing scratched a few times, and immediately felt that he couldn't exert himself, and his whole body seemed to stiffen.
Several people on the boat were also in a hurry, looking for a thick chain rope, and it happened that there were these things on the boat, and they tied up the two people who were cut and stunned, and then fished out Xu Qing.
The river breeze blew, Xu Qing fought a cold war on the boat, his snot flowed, and he quickly stripped off his clothes and got into the cabin. I pulled the big cotton coat in the luggage again, although it was still a cold war, but I could already speak.
He instructed the people outside not to kill anyone first, and brought in the stove, which turned out to be dry firewood.
Then the furnace temperature, Xu Qing put on his clothes again, and the set that fell into the water did not dry, so it was naturally a new set.
Outside, Niu Eating Grass and others began to interrogate the two people who were tied up, and the two scolded: "Hmph, tell you to be nosy, tell Zhu Yizhi that coward to suppress the bandits, my brothers in the village don't know how much they escaped, this time they missed, and there is a second time, a third time!" Just wait! ”
The cow grazes and picks up the stick and strikes them on the head, and beside them, the young young man shiveres, and has just poured cold water on him in order to wake him up.
"It seems that you are thieves with immortal hearts?" Xu Qing also walked out of the cabin, he wanted to pretend to be calm and composed, but he could encounter the cold wind, and the snot flowed down again.
Things turned out to be like this, a few days ago, the heavy snow closed the road, Xu Qing and others stayed in Zhu Yizhi's military camp, and by the way, they helped him check the file, and a big case around Yuhang was delayed for two dynasties, and more than 100 people were killed for a few years. At that time, Zhu Yilu led his troops to encircle and suppress Xu Qing in the mountains and forests, and also wrote a letter to Chen Yili to prepare to intercept the remnants of the enemy.
Bandits are good at hiding traces, as long as the hiding place is found, they are naturally vulnerable, and Zhu Yilu ended the bandit suppression with a big victory. After being suppressed, Zhu Yipulp not only has Wu Xun, but also can clear his own subordinates of escaping from the grass.
More than 100 suspicious cases were settled, the prefectures and counties were overjoyed, and people were organized to express condolences to Zhu Yizhi's general military office, and the people rushed to recite General Zhu's strange case.
day, as if I also learned the news, snow and sunny.
Xu Qing waved his sleeves, and without waiting for Zhu Yizhi to thank him, he had already left with his family. Taking advantage of the fine weather, I set off to cross the river and go to Yangzhou for a day or two, which is the previous article, and I only came back today. He didn't know that when the bandits were suppressed, the bandit leader had already escaped.
Another letter, sent from Chen Yili, said that the water ghost had escaped from prison and was missing. Before writing a letter was delivered to Xu Qing, Xu Qing encountered the calculations of the remaining bandits.
The cow was grazing and interrogating people, but Yang Cheng noticed the other places on the boat, walked to the place where the boatman put his private belongings, picked up the black cloth, took out the baggage, shook it, and fell a copper seal.
When the boatman saw this, he was shocked. His legs moved, and the cow could barely suppress him when he stood eating grass.
"Oh?" Xu Qing picked it up and took a look, and engraved the four big characters "Seal of King Wu" in official script.
"Hey, big guy, big guy......" Xu Qing sneered: "Hello! My king is above, and I will be worshiped in the next haha......"
"Humph! Young man, I tell you that you can be killed, but you will be punished! ”
Xu Qing smiled, turned around and asked, "Water ghost?" Liu Yuanjin? King Wu? ”
No, don't water ghosts look like this? Xu Qing said in his heart, and then asked Yang Cheng: "Do you know the way to change your face?" ”
"I don't know, what does the lord mean by this?" Yang Cheng shook his head and said, then looked at the other three, and all three of them shook their heads.
"Hmph, needless to say, the old man is indeed a water ghost, and he is also Liu Yuanjin, the former King of Wu, when it falls into your hands and it is my back, kill me!" Without waiting for Xu Qing to figure out the trick, the boatman admitted it himself.
"Huh?" Xu Qing looked directly into the boatman's eyes, he couldn't see the panic, he asked: "Liu Yuanjin was defeated and killed by Wang Shichong back then, how can he still be here today?" ”
"I was indeed defeated in the first battle, but it was not me who died. Wang Shichong was in a hurry to ask for credit, so he didn't find out......" When the boatman said, his eyes were a little evasive, although he had controlled it well, but there was still something unusual.
"Who is this?" Xu Qing looked at the young queen and asked, the boatman opened his mouth to say something, and immediately his eyes flashed: "He is just a loyal person." ”
"Hahaha," Xu Qing laughed: "He's the King of Wu, right?" He's Liu Yuan's son, isn't he? ”
Xu Qing said, casually picked up a bucket of water on the boat, poured it on the boatman, and immediately, the black dirt on his face slowly dissolved, and the cow grazing moved his eyes, and used the oar to pick the boatman's hair away.
It turned out to be a wig.
Under the wig, there is the water ghost bound that day!
At this time, he glanced at the young descendant with tears in his eyes, and called out, lord. He looked at the sky again and shouted, Lord.
Back then, Jiangnan was ravaged by Yang Guangzhi, and you raised your words for the people, but there was no hero when there was no hero, so that the erector became famous! If it weren't for those*, shaking their heads and tails, betraying us, Wang Shichong would have broken us?
When the boatman saw the bowl of rice noodles that had been dumped on the ground, he threw himself at the ground and gnawed on it, and the cow was grazing and lifted him up, only to see him say to the young descendant, "Young master, the old slave is useless."
But in the blink of an eye, the blood of the seven orifices flowed together, bounced a few times like a centipede, and he was not breathing.
Highly toxic! Xu Qing smacked his lips, a chill ran down his spine, as long as he tasted it just now, it would end up like a boatman.
The young offspring just closed his eyes, wept, and sobbed.
"Throw this person into the river, he, Ha Sneeze and others will come ashore with us and send him to the county office......" Xu Qing finished speaking and returned to the cabin. There was a sound of water, and the water ghost, or boatman, went into this long stream of heroes who did not know how many heroes were buried.
Among Xu Qing and his party, Yang Cheng is an all-rounder, picking up the brace, just doing it, except for the beginning of the chaos, in the future, he has stabilized the hull.
More than an hour later, when he arrived at the high level, the young descendants were tied up by several people and sent to the county office. With Xu Qing's identity, the county order naturally did not suspect it, and opened a court to try the case at the moment.
The young offspring did not struggle, and said his identity by himself. Liu Yuanjin's second son, Liu Sheng; The water ghost is Gansu, after the general of the Three Kingdoms Gan Ning. The reason why they robbed and killed merchants was not only to kill them with their property, but also to take revenge on them.
According to him, Liu Yuanjin is a righteous man who rises up and is a prince who is the master of the people. Yang Guang went south for the prosperity of Jiangnan, and the one who was exploited by him the most was the Jiangnan businessman, and Liu Yuanjin was one of them. He rebelled for this very reason, and was betrayed by his own people, who were also merchants.
The untold story is true or false, who is right and who is wrong, no one knows. The county order is finalized, reported to the government, state, and province, and then approved, and the execution is carried out on a selected day.
Owl head.
On the day of the execution, the water of the West Lake was so clear that it became turbid, and more than 100 gorgeously dressed and headless carrion corpses emerged in the center of the lake, and the local fishermen did not dare to go down to the lake for half a month. On the shore of the lake, there are twelve peach trees, as if they do not know that it is the middle of winter, and they are competing to open, and after a few days, the peach trees quickly wither. At the time, people called it "unjustly peach", who is wronged? Only the remnants of the bandits who fled from the mountains knew.
Naturally, that's an afterthought.
Let's say that Xu Qing, after meeting with Xun Xueer and others, developed a high fever and couldn't move in bed. Presumably, it must have been caused by falling into the river that day and soaking in cold water.
