A group of people slowly advanced, traveled dozens of miles, more and more people on the road, but there are also many people who go back, some people see their large group of people, kindly persuade them not to go forward, the road in front is not passable, the guys asked carefully, it turns out that the stone bridge on the river in front of the repair, want to cross the river, either wait a few days for the bridge to be repaired, or go down the river bank, more than 100 miles of detour to other bridges to cross the river.

The guy rushed to the back and reported to Fang Jinshi, Fang Jinshi thought about it, he couldn't go back and enter Shuzhou City again, wait, go to the riverside to see it first, it was really not good, so he had to detour.

After walking a few miles, we arrived at the river, the stone bridge in the distance is being renovated, it is indeed impassable, the river is very wide, especially at this time it is the rainy season, the river is wrapped in sediment and goes down, want to cross the river, except for the detour there is only a boat.

A temporary wharf was set up on the river, and two high-masted ships went back and forth between the two banks, ferrying the people who had crossed the bridge, but there were many people and few boats, and the temporary wharf was already crowded with hundreds of people, and the crowd was not lively.

Fang Jinshi and the others went to the dock to take a look, and sent a shrewd guy to ask the official who maintained order, and the guy went for a long time, and came back to report that horses and carriages could be arranged to cross the river on boats, but there were too many people at this time, and they needed to wait until there were fewer people crossing the river in the evening, and the price was expensive.

Fang Jinshi thought about it, it didn't matter if he spent more money, it was nothing to wait until the evening, it was always much stronger than going around so far, he immediately asked this guy to negotiate again, and this guy came back to report that he could let people line up to cross the river first, and the carriages and horses would finally be arranged by the officials to cross the river in the evening, so that he could save some time.

Fang Jinshi immediately agreed, asked this guy to pay, and beckoned everyone to bring their belongings and line up at the dock to cross the river together.

They waited for most of the hour, and when it was finally their turn, someone shouted, "Another ship is coming." ”

Fang Jinshi looked up, and there was indeed a giant masted official ship on the river, this official ship was tall and big, and it could carry more people, and it was humane: "The officials are conscripted every day, and they finally thought of doing a good thing." ”

The official boat slowly sailed to the shore of the wharf, and the anxious people waiting at the end of the line suddenly ran to the front of the official ship with a large group of people, the official ship docked, and the officers and soldiers on it put down the pedals on the boat, and the people who were waiting were crowded and were about to squeeze into the boat, and more than 20 officers and soldiers got down the boat, holding swords, guns and weapons, and shouted: "Get out of the way, can you sit on this boat?" ”

These officers and soldiers forcibly separated a road in the crowd of the people, and guarded them with weapons to prevent the people from boarding the boats.

The waiting people were very disappointed, and some began to curse their mothers, but they were also unable to, and after a while, a group of officers and soldiers came up on the avenue, about one or two hundred, and these officers and soldiers came to the wharf, and forcibly cleared a way through the crowd, followed by twenty or thirty people carrying two tall and noble carriages from the official road to the wharf.

Baozhu said: "I don't know which dignitary is passing by." ”

The two cars came to a halt, and the first one lifted the curtain, and a handsome young man came out, and the young man, dressed in a noble manner, jumped out of the carriage with a smile on his face, and then stretched out his hand to help a young lady who had followed him out of the carriage.

As soon as Fang Jinshi saw this young man, he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Is it him?" ”

It turned out that this young man turned out to be the ninth brother Kang Wang Zhao Gou, Fang Jinshi hadn't seen him for a long time, and it was his princess Xing Bingyi who was helped to get out of the car, and a girl with a beautiful face also came down from the second carriage, this girl Fang Jinshi also knew, it turned out to be the twenty-sister Huanhuan Emperor Ji Zhao Duofu.

The one who is with Zhao Gou must be Emperor Roufu, and it won't be Jinghui.

Fang Jinshi saw that it was Zhao Gou and them, so he had the heart to go up and say hello, but now there are too many people, and it will be their turn to cross the river on the boat soon, Fang Jinshi thinks about it, forget it, if there is a fate, maybe he can see him after crossing the river.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Duofu boarded the high-masted official ship under the support of the officers and soldiers, and their carriage also allowed the officers and soldiers to find a way to carry them onto the boat, and the officers and soldiers untied the cables and prepared to remove the gangplanks to get on the boat and start the boat, and some of the anxious people who were waiting for them to come forward and beg the leaders of the officers and soldiers so that they could also cross the river by boat.

This voice attracted Zhao Gou's attention, he asked about the situation of his subordinates, and then said, "Since the ship can carry it, it is better to let them come up with some people." ”

The officers and men gave the order to go down, and the people who squeezed down the boat were overjoyed, and dozens of people came up together, and when the officers and men saw that there were too many people, they quickly drove several people down, and immediately collected the gangplanks and let people drive the boat.

Fang Jinshi and they lined up on the boat to cross the river here, followed Zhao Gou and their big boat off the shore, the two boats were only about three zhang apart, Fang Jinshi stood on the side of the boat, and saw that the upper stream suddenly rushed down five or six small boats, each small boat had three or four people on it, the people on the small boat rowed rapidly, and went down the river, and when they were not in the middle of the river, they had already rushed to the front of the high-masted official ship.

At present, a small boat was rushing too fast, and when he saw that it was about to collide, a red-bearded man standing at the bow of the boat put the penny in his hand to the big boat, and his own small boat swept past the bow of the big boat, he picked up the iron anchor hook at the foot of his neck, and hooked the side of the big ship with a hard flick, and shouted: "Stop the boat, stop the boat quickly." ”

The boats that followed him also arrived quickly, and the people on the boat bent their bows and arrows and shot at the big boat, and the distance was close at this time, and several of the oarsmen rowing on the left and right sides of the official ship were hit by arrows, and the remaining oarsmen did not dare to stay any longer, and they all avoided fleeing for their lives, and as soon as they fled, the big ship immediately stopped moving forward.

The five or six small boats quickly surrounded the big boat, and the big man at the bow threw the anchor hook to hook the big boat, and then quickly approached the ship, drew his sword and gun and shouted that he was about to climb onto the big official ship.

Although the officers and soldiers who saw off the shore did not leave, but at this time the big ship was in the middle of the river, although these officers and soldiers saw that a group of bandits wanted to rob the ship, but they had no other way but to shout and scold, Fang Jinshi's boat followed behind the official ship, the bandits' arrows crossed the official ship, and several scattered arrows fell on their boat, injuring a few people, there were too many people on their boat, which immediately caused chaos, dozens of people fell into the water, and even the oarsmen rowing on the side of the boat were squeezed into the water, and their big boat stopped immediately. Fang Jinshi was almost squeezed into the water, but fortunately, Li Bao pulled him quickly.

Fang Jinshi helped the side of the boat to look, and on the boat closest to them, a big man shouted: "Hurry up, get closer." His men rowed a little further and pressed the boat to the hull of the larger ship.

This big man is Du Chun, the flying mouse who recognized the wrong person in the tea shop, the five people on their boat are the five people Fang Jinshi saw before, Fang Jinshi suddenly understood a little, the target of this group of people is actually King Kang Zhao Gou and Zhao Duofu brother and sister, Fang Jinshi They also have men and women, and there are a lot of people, this Du Chun didn't recognize Zhao Gou, and they misunderstood.

The big ship is tall, it is not easy to climb on the ship, the officers and soldiers on the ship are holding long blades and pennies to hit and protect the side of the ship, not to let these bandits climb on the boat, King Kang Zhao Gou heard the movement and has already gone up to the ship's tower to check, he saw that the situation was urgent, so he took the saber and rushed to the side of the boat to help drive the enemy, even Zhao Duofu picked up the oars to help the battle, although the bandits had the advantage of the scene, but they wanted to climb the big boat, but there was no good way for a while, and the boat on the opposite bank had already been on the boat, and they would row to the river to help the war in a short time.

The red-bearded man couldn't attack for a long time, and he was anxious, and shouted to the boat: "Boss Kong, do you want to pick up the cheap for nothing, don't you do it yet." ”

Not long after he shouted, several people jumped out of the group of people who crossed the river on the boat, and immediately cut down the officers and men guarding the boat with weapons in hand, and the officers and men guarding the side of the boat turned back to fight, and the pressure on the bandits on the boat was reduced, and they immediately attacked the boat.

The bandits had a careful plan, and there were officers and soldiers escorting them on both sides of the river, only the defense on the river was weak, and the boss Kong on the boat sank the anchor into the river, and forcibly drove the people on the boat to jump into the water to escape and create chaos.

Du Chun put the knife across Zhao Gou's neck and laughed: "Lord Kang, you just accept your fate." Zhao Gou saw that the general trend of the official army had gone, and Zhao Duofu and Princess Xing Bingyi were all captured, so they had to abandon the knife and admit defeat.

The red-bearded man said: "Flying rats, you don't want to hurt the princess, they are our God of Wealth." ”

Du Chun, the flying rat, said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion under my hands." ”

Kong Bainian, who mixed into the ship, said: "Let's go quickly, wait for the officers and soldiers to come." ”

The red-bearded man gave an order, and these bandits pushed Zhao Gou, Zhao Duofu, and Bingyi, three noble ones, from the big boat to the boat when they came, and then said to the officers and soldiers who were injured and captured: "Go back and inform the prefect, just say that let them prepare 10,000 taels of gold, and the grandfathers will come to pick it up in a few days. ”

The officers and men on the ship trembled and no one dared to reply, and the red-bearded man saw that the ticket was successfully kidnapped, gave a whistle, jumped onto the boat from which he came, and prepared to leave.

Although Fang Jinshi and their ship were very close to the official ship, they were all ordinary people, and no one dared to provoke this group of bandits.

Fang Jinshi stood on the side of the boat and witnessed all this happening, and slammed his hateful fist on the wooden railing in front of him and said, "This is terrible." He saw that the other party's bandits were fierce and prepared, although the bandits were just kidnapping people to ask for ransom, but King Kang Zhao Gou and them fell into the hands of these people, it was really unpredictable, especially Zhao Duofu and Xing Bingyi were both young women, Fang Jinshi thought that Zhao Duofu and Gao Zhong were better, and he couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that he couldn't save them.
