Ruan Xiaoer asked: "Fifteen meters long, three meters wide, twenty pulpping hands, and a ship that can hold more than 20,000 catties is already a big ship, or can it only be in the near sea, why can't it sail in the open sea?" ”

Chao Xiong shook his head: "I have only been to the Bohai Sea near Qingzhou, where the wind and waves are already very strong, not to mention that there are big fish in the water, dozens of meters long, and a small boat can't eat a tail of a fish." ”

Except for Chao Gai, everyone's mouths couldn't close in surprise.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Then we have good water nature, isn't it useless, there are so many big fish in the water, they will eat people." ”

"Cannibalism, no, that's called devouring. When I was selling goods, I once saw a big shark six or seven meters long, seven or eight thousand catties, with a mouth full of teeth. The fishermen said that the fish ate people like chickens. ”

The frightened Ruan Xiaoqi shrank his neck and said, "That's a big shark, it's nothing." There is also a sea beast called the blue whale, which can grow to more than 30 meters and weigh more than 2,000 people. ”

Everyone was even more surprised, and even Wu Yong was dumbfounded.

Ruan Xiaowu asked: "Then such a big fish can't eat people in one bite." ”

"This big guy doesn't count fish, he doesn't eat people, he eats small fish and small shrimp."

Everyone was talking about whales, but they forgot about buying a boat.

Chao Gai said: "Let's get down to business, how do you feel about this centipede ship, if it works, it's decided." ”

Everyone didn't know much about warships, and after discussing it for a while, they decided to buy ten first. The shipyard is in Dongping, Chao Gai did not delay, and immediately said: "Ruan Xiaoer stayed to watch the house, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ruan Xiaowu, and Chao Xiong, you three led a hundred water escort teams, and the sailors of the salt team rushed to the Dongping Fu Wharf in a canopy boat. Wu Yong and I rode to Dongping Mansion on horseback, trying to buy the boat as soon as possible. ”

Chao Gai is a resolute person, the next day was ready, the waterway Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Chao Xiong led the water escort team and others to take the canopy boat straight to Dongping Mansion, this Dongping Mansion is on the edge of Shuibo Liang Mountain, and the waterway is also smooth.

Chao Gai took Wu Yong, Li Kui, Hua Lei, and twenty guards, a group of twenty-four people rode to Dongping, but more than one hundred and fifty miles, one day to arrive can also arrive, but afraid of hurting the horsepower, not to mention have to wait for the waterway, halfway to rest for a night, the next morning to the territory of Dongping Province, Dongping is a big house, at least larger than Jeju Province.

But what catches the eye is also the withering of people's livelihood, and there are homeless people on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat. The local villages and mountains along the road are all written down one by one.

Go forward, enter a majestic mountain range, the peak show, the rock danger, the stone beauty, the sound of the water, the birds and the fragrance of flowers, and feel the slightest coolness before reaching the mountain.

"What a majestic mountain, good scenery." Chao Gai sighed.

Li Kui said: "A mountain of trees, a mountain of stones, what is beautiful, why didn't I find it." ”

"This mountain is called Lashan, and this is the northernmost point of Shuibo Liang Mountain, if you want to dominate Shuibo, this mountain is a gateway." Wu Yong sighed.

"Haha, a puddle of water can only be used for starting, but at present, it has to be guarded, which requires a water army." Chao Gai said.

Li Kui saw that he couldn't interject and chatted with Hua Lei, both of them were people who burned the piano and cooked cranes, especially Hua Lei's kid who also shot two pheasants under Li Kui's encouragement, and was going to make a barbecue to eat when he was resting.

Everyone was moving forward slowly, and suddenly they heard the collision of weapons in front of them, and the cries of horses, and the originally loose team instantly changed, everyone took their own knives and guns, and the team quickly rushed to the front.

I saw that on the road between the cols in front of me, three horsemen were fighting around a woman dressed in blue, who was riding a tall horse and killing with two knives. There was a group of people with knives and guns next to them, and they grabbed four maid-like women.

The woman in Tsing Yi with two knives gradually couldn't support it, if it wasn't for the three people surrounding her to catch her alive, I'm afraid she would have been injured long ago.

Chao Gai said: "Li Kui, go up and save this woman." ”

Li Kui said: "Brother, it's not that I don't listen to orders, the military advisor said just now that the hero can only do the thing of the protagonist to save the beauty." ”

"Virtue." Chao Gai scolded with a smile, waved the golden dragon swallowing halberd in his hand, and the dark clouds under his crotch stepped on the snow and passed in a sprint.

"Well, where did the mountain village man come from, Lang Lang Qiankun actually dared to rob." Chao Gai scolded.

When the three besieging people saw a guy riding a black horse and holding a halberd, they stopped their horses and said, "Lashan Sanying is doing business, and the friend who doesn't want to die should leave quickly." ”

"What are you doing? What did you do to rob this woman? Chao Gai asked.

At this time, the woman with the double knife seemed to grasp the last straw: "This big brother, they are bandits, they have captured my four maids, I hope you can help me save the maids." ”

Chao Gai nodded: "The woman doesn't let the eyebrows be shaved, and she doesn't get rid of the maid and run away alone at such a critical moment, and it's really a big husband." ”

One of the thieves at the head said: "Whoever has torn his crotch to reveal you, and he still comes here to chirp crookedly, look for death, and beat him together." ”

Three men came on horseback, the first one with a double-strand sword, the second with a broadsword, and the third with a spear. Chao Gai was shocked, this guy Liu Guanzhang, but fortunately, I am holding a painting halberd, and I can top Lu Bu.

After three or two rounds of testing, Chao Gai smiled, these three guys are of average level. The double-strand sword swung over, and the Chao Gai painting halberd swept over, and a huge force overwhelmed the mountain, and the man fell directly from the horse.

The woman with the double knife was very sharp, and took advantage of the man's fall from the horse, and went over to cut off the man's head, but the man hurriedly dodged, clicked, and cut off an arm, and blood sprayed far away.

"Ahh The woman with the double knife hurriedly retreated in fright, obviously a person who had never seen blood.

Chao Gai turned around and stabbed the guy with the big knife with the tail of the halberd, and the man covered his chest and fled, and the rest of the snake spear did not care about the double sword, left the maid, and ran away with the minions.

Chao Gai scolded: "Just like that, the three cowards still want to pretend to be Liu Guanzhang." ”

Li Kui saw that the fight was over, jumped off the horse and carried a big axe to cut off the unlucky man with the broken arm.

Chao Gai said: "I forgot what the result of indiscriminate killing is." ”

Li Kui only felt a cold behind his back, put away the board axe, found a rope, and tied up the injured bandit.

The woman with the double knife also rescued her four maids, and came over to give Chao Gai a salute and said, "Sanniang thanks this strong man for his help." ”

Chao Gai returned the salute: "What a lot of effort to raise your hands." ”

Chao Gai saw that this woman was a rare beauty, tall, not to mention a height of 1.7 meters, with black hair, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a face like mutton fat. A pair of slender hands, holding a rare beauty.

"The little woman is Hu Sanniang of the Hu family, and she hasn't consulted this big brother yet."

It turned out that this woman turned out to be Hu Sanniang, no wonder she was so beautiful and her skills were not bad.

"In Chaogai, Xiayun City, I came to Dongping Mansion to do business, and I just happened to meet it. Miss Hu will pay more attention in the future, this world is not peaceful, try to come out as little as possible. Chao Gai said.

Hu Sanniang said: "Why are you talking like my brother, I won't let you go anywhere, I just want to come and see the scenery of this Lashan, who knew that a group of dozens of bandits appeared in the blue sky and daylight." ”

When Chao Gai and Hu Sanniang were chatting, Li Kui took out the flatbread he brought with him and handed it to a maid led by Hu Sanniang. This girl is long and strong, with five big and three thick door panels, at least one meter seven in height, big waist and round arms, and a swarthy face with a long black face, but her eyebrows and eyes are also delicate. Two short knives of one foot long were pinned to their waists.

Li Kui said: "If you're hungry, eat bread." ”

The big black girl was not polite, she took the flatbread and ate it, with mutton and green onions in it.

"Look at your head, you still use double knives, how can you be caught by a few thieves."

The big black girl said aggrievedly: "We were walking with the young lady, and suddenly a few hooks flew out of the grass nest and tripped us, and then the minions caught us." Immediately after that, the three of them got into a fight with my young lady. ”

At this time, from the direction of Dongping Mansion, a group of thirty or forty people with all kinds of weapons came over on horseback.

The man at the head looked like he was in his thirties, riding a chestnut horse, holding a single knife, and his body was a little thin, like a businessman.

"Sister, what's the matter, I heard that there are bandits coming, so don't let you run around but don't listen." Come humanely.

Hu Sanniang was chatting, okay, seeing that her brother was here, she was about to cry with a look of grievance.

"Brother, I almost won't see you, woo, woo." Hu Sanniang cried with pear blossoms and rain.

It turned out that it was none other than Hu Sanniang's eldest brother, Hu Chengyi.

Hu Cheng said: "Sanniang, don't worry, it's okay, my brother is here." ”

Hu Cheng listened carefully to Hu Sanniang's story, immediately tidied up his clothes, and bowed to Chao Gai to the end: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

"You're welcome, a gesture." Chao Gai said.

"Yunzhou is not far ahead, why don't you go to the city and find a hotel for a drink." Hu Cheng sent out an invitation.

Chao Gai said: "We still have to wait for someone, we have something to do, how about having a drink another day." ”

Hu Cheng saw that Chao Gai was in trouble, and he didn't want to force it, so he took people away, and the injured bandit leader was handed over to the nearby land guard.

Hu Cheng and the others left, and Chao Gai led the team to slowly hit the road.

Wu Yong said: "How did my brother shirk it, this Hu Cheng should be the owner of Hujiazhuang under the rule of Dongping Mansion." Don't look at his family is not near the river, in fact, he is a big businessman, his family's sea ship even went to Goryeo, and later it seems that a few ships of goods were robbed by pirates, so the family fell into the middle of the road. ”

"It's important for us to buy a boat first, we can't just want to get some benefits from someone's brother just because we saved someone's sister. That's too unlevel. Chao Gai laughed.

The group arrived at the Tianya Inn near Dongping Wharf and settled down, the shopkeeper did not know that Chao Gai was their big boss, and he was not overly enthusiastic, Tianya Inn belonged to the mid-range inn, and the conditions were okay. After everyone ate and rested for a while, it was estimated that Ruan Xiaoqi and the others would arrive in the afternoon, and the purchase of a boat would only be tomorrow.

Wu Yong proposed that everyone go to the Lashan Taoist Temple to play, and Chao Gai agreed. The group of four brought only five guards, and the remaining fifteen remained in the inn.
