Li Bao beside him said: "Does the son intend to save them?" ”

Fang Jinshi said happily: "Do you have a way?" ”

Li Bao said confidently: "It's hard to say on land, but you can try it on the water." ”

Fang Jinshi knew that Li Bao had always been steady, so he must have some confidence when he said this, so he said: "Then you brothers, you must be careful, if you can save it, you will save it, and take care of the safety of your brothers first." ”

Li Bao said: "Got it." He walked to the bow of the boat and said to his brothers, "Bring the nearest boat." ”

When these brothers came to the boat, they put the cloth bag of the rope hook they were carrying with them, and immediately two of these people stood at the bow of the boat and threw off the rope, and threw it far away to the boat closest to them, these people were begging for a living at sea every day, and had already practiced the stunt of climbing onto the big ship with an iron hook on the side of the ship, and the rope head was thrown out, and the five iron hooks in front of it were hooked to the side of the nearest small strip, and the two of them immediately pulled back with great force to pull the boat to their own boat.

Standing on this boat is the flying mouse Du Chun, he saw the most bad, bent down to draw a knife to cut the rope, Li Bao picked up the wooden pulp on the boat, threw it hard, hit Du Chun's chest, this hit him into the water, Du Chun these people don't know water, he shouted for help as soon as he fell into the water, but no one paid attention to him, and soon sank, Li Bao and several people pulled the boat to the front, the remaining Du Chun's brothers on the boat saw that the momentum was not good, one jumped into the water to escape, and the remaining few immediately lost their weapons and surrendered with their heads.

Li Bao grabbed the boat, and a few brothers jumped on it, there were bows and arrows on the boat, Li Bao picked up the bow and arrows, and fired four arrows in a row to another boat near the left, the distance was close, and there was no way to avoid it on the boat, and he actually gave him four arrows in all four bandits, this boat carried the Roufu Emperor Zhao Duofu and the princess Xing Bingyi, Li Bao's brother threw the rope hook and pulled the boat over, and grabbed a small boat, Li Bao asked his brother to row the boat, and sent the two women to Fang Jinshi and the big boat they were on. He struggled to catch up with the boat that held King Kang Zhao Gou.

The officers and soldiers on the other side of the river drove the big boat to help the battle, intercepting the other two other boats, Kong Bainian and the bandit leader Red Bearded Man escorted King Kang Zhao Gou, and took this small boat to row downstream, Li Bao and his two brothers clenched, he even threw a few rope hooks and failed to catch the side of the front boat, the red bearded man saw that he couldn't get rid of Li Bao's boat, so he simply stopped, turned around and put the knife on Zhao Gou's neck and said to Li Bao who was back on the boat: "You chase after him again, I will kill him immediately." ”

Li Bao stood at the bow of the boat and said: "Kill him, not only will you not get anything, but you are afraid that even your own life will be lost here." ”

The red-bearded man said, "Don't you dare?" ”

Li Baodao: "I don't care what you want to do, my son-in-law asked us to come and bring this noble man back, but I didn't say whether he was going to die or live, our son-in-law passed by here, the road was uneven, you killed him, I will kill you again, and I will also say the past to the government, although it is not perfect, but it is finally a credit." ”

The red-bearded man saw that he was not threatened, so he took the knife and said, "Where did my friend get rich, who is your lord, can you tell me?" ”

Li Bao said: "We came from afar, just passing by, you don't know, it's better like this, you let people go, I bring people back, you and I have our own benefits, we have made great contributions, you slap your ass and leave, what do you think?" ”

The red-bearded man said: "You still say that you don't care about his life and death?" He is a prince, and his life is very expensive. ”

Li Baodao: "No matter how expensive his life is, it is also one, you are a cheap life, and it is also one, you are very cost-effective to exchange one of his lives for the lives of several of you." ”

The red-bearded man said, "Just a few of you?" ”

Li Bao said: "You can try it." He looked back and said, "Wait a minute, the big ships of the officers and soldiers will catch up soon, you want to live, but you have to think clearly quickly." ”

The red-bearded man was still hesitating, and Kong Bainian on the boat saw that an official ship was speeding over, so he said anxiously: "Boss Wu, let's admit it today." "He and a group of people from Funiu Mountain didn't know how to water, and when the situation on the boat was weak, they were immediately timid.

The red-bearded man said: "Even if we release someone, what if he continues to chase him?" ”

Kong Baisui said: "This is simple. He flew up and kicked King Kang Zhao into the river, turned around and shouted: "Hurry up, go quickly." ”

The red-bearded man saw that he was helpless, so he had to let people quickly row a boat to escape, King Kang Zhao Gou fell into the water, even ate a few mouthfuls of water, Li Bao's brother jumped into the water and quickly rescued him, these people have been sailing on the sea for a long time, and it is not a problem to save people in the river.

Zhao Gou got up to the boat, calmed down a little, and saw the bandits' boats going farther and farther, stood up and said, "Chase, chase." ”

Li Bao said: "It's so far away, you can't catch up, let the officers and soldiers chase down." ”

It's not that he can't catch up, he just doesn't want to chase anymore, Li Bao immediately asked people to return to the dock, Zhao Gou couldn't, twisted the water on his clothes, and said hatefully: "These Diao people, kindly let them cross the river by boat, but they want to harm me for no reason, but if they are flat-headed cloth, they will never be trusted in the future." ”

The last time he suffered a big loss from the salt lord, this time he asked people to cross the river by boat, and they almost died, which made Zhao Gou feel that all ordinary people could not really believe it, and this concept affected his entire life.

Li Bao heard what he said, and wanted to refute him and say that these people who saved him were also ordinary people in flat-headed cloth clothes, but after thinking about it, they couldn't help but forget it, they rowed the boat to the pier, Xing Bingyi and Zhao Duofu were worried about him, and when they saw him return safely, they were all relieved, and the leader of the local soldiers who was responsible for escorting him hurriedly came over to make amends and asked him to change clothes on the big boat. ”

Li Bao said: "I waited for a few people to go on the orders of our son, and I didn't dare to take credit." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Then please come with your son, I can thank you in person." ”

Li Bao went over to find Fang Jinshi, and Fang Jinshi listened to Li Bao's recount, and said, "I just want to meet him." ”

He followed Li Bao to the official ship immediately, and Zhao Gou couldn't help but say when he saw Fang Jinshi: "It's you?" ”

Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "I really have a fate with Brother Jiu, I saw you here again, Brother Jiu, Sister Twenty, you were frightened, didn't you get hurt?" ”

Saying that, he bowed and saluted, and Zhao Gou said: "Fortunately, there is no danger in everything, you save me again." ”

Emperor Zhao Duofu shook his head slightly behind Zhao Gou, Fang Jinshi comprehended, knowing that she didn't want King Kang and Zhao Gou and the couple to know that they knew her, of course, she didn't want them to ask more questions, for fear that it would be difficult to make a mistake.

Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "Brother Jiu saw that he was outside, I also happened to cross the river to prepare to return to Bianliang, and it just so happened that a few friends who were begging for a living on the sea wanted to give me a ride, in the final analysis, it was those bandits who did things without looking at the yellow calendar, and Brother Jiu was blessed and generous, even if I didn't meet him, Brother Jiu would be fine." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Since you also want to go back to Bianliang, I won't say more about the superfluous words, and I'll talk about everything back to Bianliang." ”

Fang Jinshi smiled and nodded, he saw Li Bao standing on the side, his heart moved, and he said to Zhao Gou: "Brother Jiu, this is my good brother Li Bao, not only brave and powerful, but also calm and capable, people are also completely reliable, now fishing on the sea for a living, it is really buried talents, if Brother Jiu has a good opportunity, you might as well bring him up." ”

Li Bao came over and arched his hand: "The Ninth Prince, the situation is critical just now, and if you want to deceive the bandits, you have to say that, it is definitely not that you don't care about the life of the prince, and please forgive the Ninth Prince." ”

Zhao said: "I understand, I won't blame you. He groaned slightly and said, "You have such skills, it's a pity to just fish for a living, so why don't you go back to Bianliang with me, and I'll recommend it to the temple front Si Shenwei Sailor when I arrive, what do you think?" ”

Li Bao was still hesitating, Fang Jinshi patted him on the back and said, "Why don't you thank Brother Jiu?" ”

Only then did Li Bao bow to Zhao Gou and salute, "Thank you, Lord Nine." ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said: "The imperial court is thirsty for talent, but people with instinct and ability have no way to serve the country, they can only be buried in the countryside, ......and they need to be reconciled after returning to Beijing." ”

Fang Jinshi immediately said: "I am willing to go with Brother Nine and wait for Brother Nine to send you." He saw that Zhao Gou was about to talk about it, and after returning to Beijing, he would talk to Zhao Kai about the virtuous thing, and he didn't say anything, Fang Jin Shi was determined, and Zhao Gou probably did not approve of Zhao Kai's coup d'état to force the palace to succeed to the throne.

When they spoke, the magistrate of Shuzhou had already rushed to make amends, and Zhao Gou reprimanded a few words, and strictly ordered the local government to arrest the fleeing bandits and rescue the injured people.

Fang Jinshi resigned, Zhao Gou and Li Bao came out together, and Li Bao said when he arrived at a no-man's land: "Now that the prince and the Nine Princes are walking together, the magistrates on the road will definitely step up their precautions, and there is no need to worry about the robbers in distress, so we will leave and go back." ”

Fang Jinshi knew that he was unwilling to follow Zhao Gou into Beijing together, so he said to Li Bao: "I know that you want to return to your hometown with the treasure bead and live the life you want, but do you bear to let her follow you all the time to live a hard life?" She's never suffered before. ”

Li Bao was stunned, lowered his head, and Fang Jinshi said: "A manly husband should have made meritorious contributions, and now that he is recommended by the Nine Princes, there is a way to make meritorious contributions to the country, did you just give up this great opportunity?" ”

Li Bao thought for a while and said, "I still don't go, we just bought a few boats, and she still likes to stay in her hometown." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's just a few small boats, aren't those brothers who gave it to you, I know what you're worried about, since your hometown is so good, why don't you stay in Chengshi County but go to the beach to beg for a living, the people by the sea won't know, and the people in Bianliang City won't know, if you want some people to shut up, you have to let yourself let these people look up at you, I think Baozhu must also want you to be admired by everyone and make contributions, instead of being buried in the countryside." ”

Li Bao obviously listened to his words, and after not speaking for a long time, Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "If you don't say it well, do you want me to tell her?" ”

Li Baoma raised his head and said, "I don't have to trouble you, I'll just talk to her." ”

Fang Jinshi patted Li Bao and walked away with a smile, the succession of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, to the throne has changed from the history he knew in later generations, this turn has turned, as for what will happen in the future, he doesn't know at all.
