The river is surging, and on the Grand Canal, a merchant ship breaks the waves.

On the merchant ship, a closed folding fan lifted the curtain of the cabin, and a boy came out of the cabin. His face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were clear, he was wearing a white robe, and his demeanor exuded a gentle and elegant atmosphere.

More than a dozen men dressed as entourages on both sides of the bow saw him come out, bowed down and were about to salute, but were stopped by him waving his hand: "Excuse me, how many times have I said it, I am now a businessman, a rich boy, not a hundred households in brocade clothes." ”

This person was Li Xiuwen, and they were a group of more than ten people, pretending to be a caravan to travel. This time he went south, he did not plan to stay near Gyeonggi, but went directly to Gangnam.

Universiade He starts from Beijing in the north and reaches Hangzhou in the south. Because the southbound journey was too long this time, and it was too bumpy to take the land route, Li Xiuwen decided to take the water route, which would be more comfortable during the trip.

Gyeonggi and other places have just let the Qing army scourge them, and it is estimated that there are few officials, and even if they want to investigate, there are few officials to check. In Shandong, you can go back on your way back. Anyway, Zhu Youzhen didn't give him a clear goal, just said that he would tour south.

In Li Xiuwen's mind, Zhu Youzhen estimated that he was too idle to see that Jinyiwei was too idle, so he arranged such an errand. He didn't take the matter seriously. During this period, there were few local officials who were very clean under their buttocks.

The Jiangnan region has a prosperous economy and rich cultural heritage, and there are many scholars and literati. If you really want to be more serious, I'm afraid that a bunch of people will be involved. At that time, if a big person in the court is implicated again, and he is a small hundred households, he will not be killed casually?

Li Xiuwen snapped, opened the folding fan in his hand casually, gently fanned the wind on his chest, and asked aloud: "Where have we been?" ”

Hmm, it's a little cold......

At this time, it was autumn, and Li Xiuwen gave up his temperature in order to show his demeanor.

"Back to your lordship...... Childe, we're already in Texas. ”

One of the men said with his fists clenched. This person is the general banner of Jinyiwei, Xu Jiang.

Li Xiuwen nodded lightly and walked to the bow of the boat to look into the distance. I saw a line of geese flying over the vast sky.

"The end of the Sui River is this river, and it has been thousands of miles away.

If there is no water temple dragon boat thing, Gongyu will not give much credit. ”

Li Xiuwen couldn't help but groan softly. This is one of the few poems he remembers in his previous life.

At the beginning, he, like many people, thought that Yang Guang, the Emperor of Sui, was a faint king. But after understanding, he came to a conclusion that Yang Guang could only be called a "tyrant".

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

Everyone said that the Sui Dynasty died on the Grand Canal, but the Tang Dynasty really benefited from the Grand Canal.

To this day, this canal, which runs through the north and south, has contributed to the rule of the imperial courts in the south and the economic development of the cities along the coast.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not wrong in digging the canal, but the fault was that he was too eager for quick success and quick profit, greedy for pleasure. Regardless of the suffering of the people, the excessive expropriation of the people's power led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Qin died on the Great Wall, Sui died on the Grand Canal. Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui were brutal, but their achievements in building the Great Wall and opening canals should not be erased at will.

History is always written by the victors.

"Huh?"

Li Xiuwen suddenly frowned and looked at the ships speeding in front of him.

Li Xiuwen was not allowed to think too much, and after the ship in front of him approached, it suddenly shot a rocket at the ship here!

Seeing this, Li Xiuwen immediately fell to the ground, no longer caring about his demeanor, and rolled on the board of the boat again and again.

Those brocade guards only found out about the enemy attack at this moment, only to hear Xu Jiang shouting: "Protect your lord!" ”

Then a group of people surrounded him, holding swords in front of Li Xiuwen, and then he gasped and got up from the board in embarrassment.

It was only at this moment that Li Xiuwen was able to see the situation clearly.

I saw that there were at least forty people on the boat in front of me. Li Xiuwen guessed that this should be a water thief.

It's troublesome this time, although his kung fu is good, the ten brocade guards around him are all skilled. But now it was on a boat, and there was a big river between the two boats, so it was impossible to fight in close quarters at all.

On the opposite ship, rockets continued to be fired. The brocade guard in front of him was parrying with the weapon in his hand, and so far there have been no casualties.

This made Li Xiuwen a little puzzled, even if the distance was a little far, and it was difficult to control the accuracy on the ship, it wouldn't be so lethal, right?

"Wait, Rocket? Why rockets? ”

Li Xiuwen's mind turned, and then he looked at the location where those arrows had hit, and suddenly understood.

They want to burn their own ship!

The people of Jinyiwei have lived in the north for a long time, and most of them are not watery. And Li Xiuwen himself is also a "landlubber", if the boat sinks, his party will die on this river.

At this moment, Li Xiuwen realized that the other party was not blocking the road to rob, but to kill!

As a water thief, they don't covet money, but they just want to kill themselves, which is really incredible.

Please, are you thieves? It's so disrespectful!

Before he had time to think about it, Li Xiuwen's boat had already begun to burn, and immediately several brocade guards were busy extinguishing the fire. If the fire can't be controlled, the other party doesn't need to do anything at all, and his own people will all be drowned in this river with the boat.

"My lord, what shall we do?"

Xu Jiang also reacted at this time, and hurriedly asked.

What to do?

Li Xiuwen was anxious and thinking about how to deal with it.

"Approach their boat and rush up and kill them all!"

Li Xiuwen thought for a while and decisively gave the order. His tone was cold, and he shouted with murderous intent: "Sun Mingwen, take my sword!" ”

Whoever kills, people will always kill him!

Soon, Sun Mingwen took Li Xiuwen's sword. He also has an extra machete in his own hand.

Li Xiuwen held a sharp sword in his hand, and his body dodged the rockets that were fired. As soon as the two ships got closer, he would rush up and wipe out all the bastards.

On the boat of the thieves ahead, a dark-skinned, short-built man shouted, "Boss, they seem to be rushing up." ”

"Hahaha...... They even dared to rush up. ”

When the leader of the water thieves heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "How many of them are there?" There are so many of us, are you still afraid of them? ”

The man continued: "Boss, didn't Xue Gongzi say that they are all skilled, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to deal with, right?" ”

The leader glared at him and scolded, "You coward, what is that...... Grow the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of Lao Tzu! ”

After the man was scolded by him, he shrunk his neck and did not dare to speak again. It's really going to anger the eldest brother, maybe he will tie himself up and throw him into the river to feed the fish.

When the leader saw that he was no longer squeaking, he turned around and shouted, "Brothers, fuck me well, I'll fuck me hard later!" ”
