Fang Wu couldn't resist Li Sheng, so he had to set up a small table at the bow of the boat and sit down. However, he looked at Cheng Huaimo's gaze and was still a little afraid, the picture of Cheng Huaimo shooting on the dock really scared Fang Wu, although Fang Wu had a sense of justice, he was still very afraid of ruthless people. But Li Sheng, a noble man with a broad belly, Fang Wu still admired him very much, unlike ordinary people who were in awe. Fang Wu is also a person who wanders on the edge of pride, with a sense of justice, but also timid.

After a few glasses of wine, Li Sheng opened his mouth and said, "Brother Fang, tell me what's going on with the Cui family on the dock?" Why are they so domineering, and the government doesn't care about them? ”

Fang Wu was already a little drunk, the second pot head was too strong, Fang Wu had never drunk such a strong wine, the first time he drank this kind of wine, he was a little greedy. Hearing Li Sheng's question, he still drank another drink.

"The people of the Cui family, that is, the Cui family of Qinghe County. The Hebei Provincial Water Transport Inspector is the Cui family's people, and you say that they are not domineering. Speaking of this, Fang Wu said in a low voice: "Forcibly requisitioning civilian ships like this, not to mention for the time being, the private use of official ships is still a trivial matter, and the Cui family also keeps water bandits in captivity and controls the waterway." Everyone knows this, but no one dares to say it. Some time ago, the Qinghe county order knew about this and wanted to report him to the emperor, but he was dismissed by the Cui family. ”

Li Sheng frowned and said, "Don't you care about Lord Duan Zhixuanduan, the head of Hebei Province?" ”

"Last year, Lord Duan was ordered to march north, and all matters in Hebei Province were handed over to the governor Cui Xian, who is also a member of the Cui family in Qinghe, you said that he didn't care, and he wasn't all a raccoon dog." Fang Wuyue said that the more addicted he became, and he told the bottom of the matter in Hebei Province.

Syllable!

The wine and food on the table suddenly staggered, all the meat and dishes were spilled on the table and the floor, and the wine bottles were also poured on the table, on the ground. Fang Wu was frightened by Cheng Huaimo's appearance and sat on the ground, and he didn't know that the wine juice was flowing to the hem of his trousers.

"Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, I actually let his Qinghe Cui family cover the sky in Hebei Province. When Lao Tzu arrived at Qinghe, he immediately ordered all the people and horses, and wiped out the Cui family in Qinghe in one fell swoop, I let them know whether His Majesty's sword is good or not! ”

Li Sheng looked at Cheng Huaimo, who was furious, and smiled speechlessly. got up and helped Fang Wu up, patted him, signaled him not to be afraid, looked at Cheng Huaimo and said, "How many people do you have?" Even if there are enough soldiers in Qinghe County, how many of these people are related to the Cui family, whether you listen to the dispatch or not, what charges do you take to level the Cui family? ”

"Captive bandits are regarded as complicity, isn't it enough to destroy the three tribes?"

Cheng Huaimo's naivety defeated Li Sheng, and Li Sheng said funny: "Master Cheng, do you have any evidence of their crime of colluding with bandits in captivity?" ”

Cheng Huaimo was stunned for a moment, and said very depressedly: "Didn't Fang Wu say that everyone knows about it?" Let them come out and testify soon. ”

Li Sheng listened to Cheng Huaimo's more and more whispering, and said: "You yourself understand, this is nonsense, why do you have to say it hard, I really convinced you!" ”

Li Sheng looked at the sluggish Cheng Huaimo, and didn't bother to talk to him, so he asked Fang Wu: "You just said that the Cui family was going to poison Qinghe County, how did you know about this?" ”

Fang Wu had already heard it at this time, Li Shengding was an official, and his trip to Beizhou this time must be related to the Cui family. His cowardice was done again, and he didn't dare to speak.

Li Sheng naturally saw that Fang Wu was afraid of being involved, so he said: "I am Li Sheng, the Hou of Xianyang County, this is Cheng Huaimo, the grandfather of the small country of the Lu State Mansion, and the other four are all palace guards. I went to Beizhou this time to take over the post of Qinghe County Commander. The official saw that you were neither humble nor arrogant at the dock, and you were also a righteous and heroic person, why did you twist it at this time, afraid that the official would spread it, and the Cui family would not be able to retaliate against you? ”

Fang Wu was not lightly shocked, hurriedly left his seat and knelt on the ground, and said, "The villain greets the Hou Ye, and the Grandpa of the Xiaoguo." The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, please forgive the prince of the small country. ”

"Get up! Don't give a damn look at the officials, just bow down. Why are kneecaps so soft? Cheng Huaimo said on the side.

"Fang Wu, you get up, we don't want to reveal our identities, and those who don't know are not guilty."

When Fang Wu heard Li Sheng say this, he stood up and said with a very serious expression: "Hou Ye's reputation, the villain has heard about it for a long time, and he also admires Hou Ye very much. Since Hou Ye looked up to the villain, regardless of his own safety, he told the villain's true identity, if the villain concealed it again, he would not be worthy of being a good man. ”

"Good! It's finally a little fucking bloody. Sit down and drink, and the master will toast you. ”

Cheng Huaimo will also be able to do tricks, which makes Li Sheng a little unaccustomed, it seems that Cheng Huaimo is the same as Cheng Biting Jin, thick and fine. It's just that Cheng Huaimo's cleverness is not as stable as Cheng Biting Jin's cleverness.

Fang Wu was still a little afraid of Cheng Huaimo, and after Wei Nuo's drink, he said: "Some time ago, the villain walked to Beizhou, unloaded the caravan's goods, and when he returned to Zhengzhou Wharf with the shipwright, he encountered Cao Laoda's water bandits on the way, and the villain paid ten yuan before being released. Among the more than ten ships that were looted together, there were villains who knew them, and when the bandits who seized them chatted, one of the bandits revealed that there was a big business to do, and the other bandit wanted to get a reward, so he asked what the deal was, and the bandit said that it was the Cui family's reward of 100 yuan to assassinate Qinghe County, and after I heard about it, I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I left in a hurry, but I didn't know the real or false villain. ”

After listening to this, Li Sheng pondered for a long time before saying: "Is there a rumor about this matter? ”

Fang Wu said: "No, presumably they are also afraid of getting into trouble, so they didn't dare to spread it." ”

Li Sheng nodded and said to Guan Er on the side, "Guan Er, come here." ”

Guan Er walked over. hugged his fists and said, "What's the matter with Master Hou?" Please command. ”

Li Sheng asked, "Among the four of you, who has the highest kung fu?" I want one of you to secretly protect one of you, who do you think can do it? ”

Guan Er said truthfully: "Hou Ye, if it is personal protection, the four of us can do it, but only Bai Yulang can do it for secret protection." ”

"Why?"

"You don't know this, personal protection, straight as long as you are good. There are many ways to protect the Tao in secret, without light body kung fu, the wall can't be turned over, and it protects a fart. Look at Lu Kuiguan's two or three people with big shoulders and round waists, it is difficult to run, and it is almost the same to push the wall, let alone climb over the wall. Bai Yulang is light and healthy, has good light skills, and has good kung fu in his hands, so he must be the most suitable. How stupid! ”

Cheng Huaimo took a rare opportunity to bury Li Sheng, and he would definitely not let it go, but his mouth was really not very popular, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he picked up Lu Kuiguan and the two or three people. The angry Guan Er stared at Cheng Huaimo on the side, if it weren't for his identity, he would definitely be unable to reason with him.

"You call Bai Yulang."

Li Sheng was too lazy to bother with him, Cheng Huaimo had a mouth with black bricks, Li Sheng was deeply aware of it, in addition to making him offend more people, he was also angry, and the best way was to ignore him.

"Bai Yulang meets Master Hou."

Li Sheng said to Bai Yulang: "After the ship docks, you bring enough money and Pegasus to Qinghe County, don't reveal your identity, secretly protect Qinghe County Ling Li Hongcai, can't let him lose a single hair, can you do it?" ”

"Don't worry, Master Hou, no problem."

Bai Yulang not only has a clean habit, but also has a very cold temperament and talks less. Li Sheng had been in contact with the four of them for so many days, and he had already understood it, and he knew that Bai Yulang would not disappoint him.

The boat stopped in front of a flat river beach, Bai Yulang got off the boat, rode on his horse and said to Li Sheng: "Hou Ye take care, you will definitely live up to the trust." ”

After the separation, the ship continued to sail towards Bezhou. It's just that Li Sheng didn't know that there was a small boat behind him, which also stopped in the dark. A man got out of the boat and chased in the direction where Bai Yulang had left.

In the back office of Qinghe County, Li Hongcai was lying on the case, reviewing the official documents. When he saw another caravan intercepted by the bandits, his anger burned in his heart. However, he had been dismissed from office, and he was only temporarily acting as the county commander, so he sighed helplessly and closed the official document and put it aside.

"The poison of the family is as fierce as a tiger!"

"Master be cautious!"

The butler, who was waiting on the side, said hurriedly, looking very panicked. Li Hongcai shook his head and said, "I'm already white, so why be afraid!" Could it be that they still dare to kill me? ”

"Master, trouble comes from the mouth. The family gate valve has not fallen for thousands of years, and there must be a means. The Cui family is also very afraid of the things in the hands of the master, and the old slave is really afraid that they will dare to take risks. ”

"Humph! The lord is still afraid that they will not dare to take risks, if I really die in Qinghe County, Your Majesty will no longer be afraid, and will definitely issue a strict investigation, and the Cui family will be exposed. One of me died, and the Cui family was buried, and I can laugh at Jiuquan, master. ”

The housekeeper saw that Li Hongcai was so righteous and awe-inspiring, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he sighed and stopped talking.

At the river crossing along the Beizhou border, Li Sheng and his entourage finally arrived at the Beizhou border for more than ten days, which is only more than 200 miles away from Qinghe County. In the evening, the sailboat lowered its sails near the ferry, wanting to stop for a night's rest and set sail again tomorrow.

At midnight, a row of torches suddenly lit up, and a tight gong sounded. Lu Kui Li Saburo instantly pulled out his knife and approached the boathouse.

"Fang Wu cut the cable and sailed into the river."

As soon as Lu Kui's words fell, a shout sounded on the other side of the river, and I saw more than ten small boats with torches lit and rowing towards Fang Wu's big boat. Lu Kui's secret path is not good, it seems that the retreat is blocked.

Li Sheng and Cheng Huaimo had already come to the deck at this time, and Li Sanlang was standing behind Li Sheng. Fang Wu and more than a dozen boatmen also looked at the river and the shore, except for Fang Wu, who was better, the other boatmen were already trembling and frightened.

"Master Hou, Boss Cao's water bandit."

The bandits had already run to the side of the boat, and Fang Wu had already seen the appearance of the person who was coming, and hurriedly shouted.

"Prepare for war!"

Lu Kui let out a loud shout, Li Sanlang Guan Er instantly protected Li Sheng's left and right, and Lu Kui blocked in front of Li Sheng. Cheng Huaimo was not nervous at all, a large and thick blade was held in his hand, and his eyes exuded a strong fighting intent.

To tell the truth, Li Sheng was very scared, his legs were weak, but his heart was very clear, he knew that if he was cowardly at this time, he would die faster if he was embarrassed.

The bandits finally got to the side of the boat, only to stop. Li Sheng visually measured that there were only bandits standing on the shore, and there were 100 of them. Li Sheng couldn't care about how many people were behind him at this time, just the one hundred and ten people in front of him, even if Cheng Huaimo and Lu Kui could fight again, it would be difficult to save their lives.

"Where are the men under the ship? The leader comes out and speaks! ”

Li Sheng plucked up his courage and shouted down. At the same time, he glanced at Lu Kui and Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Huaimo didn't understand what Li Sheng meant, but Lu Kui understood, there were many bandits, and Li Sheng wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first. However, Lu Kui was a little optimistic about Li Sheng's idea, because there were too few of them, and they were a little powerless to contain the other bandits and take the bandit leader directly. Besides, someone has to protect Li Sheng, don't let him be plotted by cold arrows, the personnel are indeed stretched.

A swarthy strong man walked out and said, "Little doll, I am." There's something to say, there's a fart, you're running out of time. Get acquainted yourself, and grandpa will reward you. ”

Boss Cao saw that the ship was tall, and when he came to the shore, he had already ordered someone to find the rope and plank to board the boat. If they attacked, they would not be able to get it down if they didn't take a few lives on the ship. Boss Cao also planned to delay for a while at this time, and when the things on board arrived, he would take them in one fell swoop.

Bite! Bite! Bite!

The sound of a few iron tools hitting the wood came, and Lu Kui secretly said that it was not good, someone in the water wanted to board the boat, and the sound was the sound of a rope barb.

Lu Kui said loudly: "Someone is boarding the boat behind the boat, Master Hou be careful." ”

Cheng Huaimo, with a wave of the big blade, walked to the back of the boat, the boat was only four meters wide, and Cheng Huaimo walked to the other side in two steps. A knife cut the rope, and a sound of falling water sounded. Cheng Huaimo didn't even look at it, so he slashed at the few people who had already climbed up.

"Death to the one who boarded the ship!"
