Chapter 123: Gan Ning, Ding Feng
Meng Chong with Shu brocade as a sail in the center of the river slightly swinging, from a distance of water waves rushing thin waves, at first encounter across the river and berth Meng Chong, the momentum of agitation is stagnant, instantly shattered bones, colorful waves scattered in the air into countless pieces.
There was a man sitting on the boat, eight feet tall, who was almost naked except for a piece of Shu brocade that was draped diagonally, revealing some of his knotted muscles and dazzling tattoos.
I saw that his short black hair was wrapped in a red scarf, and two scimitars were stuck in his waist, and the handle of the knife was wrapped around his waist by a strip of coarse cloth covered with blue, and then he was bound with a slingless lion belt, and at the ends of the slingless lion belt, two bells hung on each end.
The river wind struck, and the bell made a crisp jingle, and it was smelled from afar, like a soul bell from hell.
Listening to the waves of the flying boat, as if hearing something leisurely, the man smiled slightly, took care of his own game, the black and white on the chessboard were vertical and horizontal, fighting each other, he held the white in one hand, the black in the other, and did not let each other when the pieces fell.
There was a cold wind on the river, just turned over the past year, the cold has not retreated, although the person ** upper body, but he doesn't seem to feel cold, the game is focusing, there is an attendant gently put on a brocade robe for him, he is also unconscious.
The river wind was whistling, blowing the sound of Jin Ge, and a fierce battle was going on outside the trance of a mile of waterway, and the male roar was like a thunderbolt, instantly crossing the Yangtze River, cutting a river into two halves.
A small boat broke through the waves, and on the boat was a scout with light armor, he knelt down on one knee, swallowed Jiang Feng and said: "Hao Shuai, Ding Feng has broken into the enemy Meng Chong, cut off the shackles with a knife, Meng Chong crossed, and its momentum is in chaos!" ”
"Hmm." The man replied softly, if it weren't for Jiang Feng's voice, he would have been speechless.
The boat turned backwards, swept through the waves, and sailed far into the golden stagger.
Only then did he raise his head slightly, a sharp sword was stored in his dark and translucent eyes, and his face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.
The river wind was as tight as it was tight, and with the river wind, the bell on his waist was as rapid as a rainstorm urging the forest, as if the conjuring person was shaking the conjuring flag frantically, making people's hair stand on end.
Another small boat rode the wind, and the scout on the boat said: "Hao Shuai, Ding Feng has broken through the enemy's escort Meng Chong!" ”
He still answered softly, the game was stalemate, and he didn't want to be distracted.
There were more and more war reports, and every half hour, a small boat flew in to report the news.
"The enemy's Mengchong battleships are all broken by me!"
"Ding Feng's attack on the enemy's main ship was blocked."
The man's hand stopped, and the hand that stuck to the sunspot stopped in mid-air: "Why? ”
"The enemy's main ship is guarded by military generals, and Ding Feng can't attack it for a while."
"Hmm!" The sunspot in his hand fell on the chessboard, he gently pushed the chessboard, raised his face and took a deep breath of cold air, and suddenly, he waved his arm and ordered: "Start the boat!" ”
Meng Chong raised the sail of Shu brocade, and the mast was like a warrior who resisted the huge waves in the wind, holding up the majestic and burly body, and going up the current majestically.
The battlefield was already a mess, countless Mengchong battleships overturned in the water, blocking a river with waves and thousands of corpses floating and sinking, blood gurgling, and the river was turning a shocking blood-red color.
Meng Chong grazed the cracks in the capsized boats of the river, squeezed out a waterway with difficulty, and came to another battlefield.
At this time, there were four Mengchong warships crossing the river, surrounding another warship from all sides, and the battleship was much larger than the usual warship, and it was covered with flags and embroidered with the huge word "Chao".
Nanyang Chao's family, a businessman for generations, is one of the few major Zhumen families in Jingzhou, and the business under the door is not only all over the nine counties of Jingxiang, but also extends into the northern hinterland, and even through the border.
Not only that, the Chao family made border transactions with the northern nomads in the northwest mutual market, and their wealth was comparable to that of the country, and even Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao had to give three points of courtesy when he saw the Chao family.
In the spring, the Chao family bought a tea horse and Shu brocade in Bashu, and then hoarded Juqi, ready to sell it to the northern scholars at a high price in the autumn.
Approaching the late autumn, the Chao family merchant ships traced the river to the north, hoping to sell tea to Yan, Hebei and Henan, and make a lot of money.
And in order to ensure the success of this transaction, the head of the Chao family also asked Liu Biao to send the Jingxiang Sailor to escort him, but he never thought that he would still be targeted by the water thieves.
"Haoshuai!" When the besieging water thieves saw their leader coming, they stopped attacking one after another, raised their swords and shouted.
The man carried an armor knife in his hand, jumped into the Yangtze River, and in the blink of an eye, the man had swam to the battleship.
He held the armor knife in his mouth, climbed the eaves of the ship with one hand, spun and jumped, and landed lightly on the deck of the water thief, he put the armor knife on his shoulder, his head raised slightly, and looked at the Chao family merchant ship with a squint.
"Is it Jinfan Leader Gan Ning Gan Xingba?" A trembling human head suddenly appeared on the huge merchant ship, and although it was an inquiry, the owner of this head did not dare to look at the majestic strong man on the deck.
"It's you Xingba grandpa, if you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart!" A smile faded into the corner of Gan Ning's lips, he enjoyed this feeling of being feared by others.
The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "The name of Chief Gan is like thunder below, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary......
Gan Ning frowned, not wanting to listen to him say these nonsense: "Noise, go into the water, scuttle the boat!" ”
When all the Jinfan thieves heard the order, they took off their shirts, held their swords in their mouths, and prepared to enter the water to scuttle the boat, and the people on the boat hurriedly exclaimed: "Leader Gan is slow, we are willing to offer five hundred gold, please show mercy to Leader Gan's subordinates." ”
Five hundred gold is indeed a lot, but for the Nanyang Chao family, it is just a drop in the penny, and when the man saw that Gan Ning did not speak, he was suddenly so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "One thousand gold, one thousand gold, we are willing to give a thousand gold." ”
When Gan Ning heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips: "A thousand gold? When I'm asking for food? The supplies on your ship, to say the least, have ten thousand gold. ”
He paused and stretched out three fingers: "Three thousand gold!" ”
"Three thousand gold?" The man snorted, turned his head to look behind him, and standing behind him was Chao Huan, the younger brother of the head of the Chao family, who was also in charge of this northbound transaction.
When Chao Huan heard Gan Ning's request, his brows furrowed, and he stretched out again: "Give it to him!" ”
When the servant heard the order, he hurriedly shouted downward: "Three thousand gold, we are willing to offer three thousand gold, please lead Gan not to scuttle the boat." ”
"When will it be delivered?" There was an eight-foot general standing next to Gan Ning, and I saw that he was also naked, with knotted muscles, black hair splashed on his shoulders at will, and his bronzed body was covered with water droplets, shining in the autumn sun.
He is the main general of this attack on the Chao family's merchant ships, the Jinfan thief Ding Feng.
"Immediately, immediately!" The man looked at Ding Feng with a visceral fear on his face.
Gan Ning glanced at Ding Feng and said with a smile: "Cheng Yuan, he seems to be very afraid of you!" ”
Ding Feng scratched his head, his young face was slightly red, where did he look like a general who had just galloped on the battlefield: "Brother praises falsely, they are just afraid of brother's prestige." ”
Gan Ling looked at Ding Feng, who was more than ten years younger than him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Ding Feng was good at martial arts, and he could have obtained a martial arts position in the state and county, but he followed behind him as a water thief.
No one is willing to bear the infamy of a traitor for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want to, but he is from a poor family, and there is no way to serve the country and enter the office.
"Brother, they put down the gold." Ding Feng's slightly excited voice interrupted Gan Ning's reverie, and he looked up to see someone hoisting boxes of golden horseshoe gold from a merchant ship.
"Go back to the village!" Although Gan Ning got a lot of money, he was not very happy, and his thoughts followed the swaying river wind, drifting farther and farther.
