Chapter 117: Desperate Survival
Huanxituo's words made Wang Fugui and his mouth come back to his senses, his head was against the bulkhead, he moved to his body a little bit, sat up, and stared at Huanxituo directly, although he didn't speak, his eyes were filled with extremely complicated information.
Huanxituo nodded slowly, signaling them to be restless.
There was a commotion outside the cabin, and there was an opening to stop it, it was the voice of the six sons. There are also good words, it is the other party's people, the hull of the ship shook slightly, obviously the two ships have come close together.
"This bit of pulp is a good old cellar, not a tribute, not a tribute." It was still the same rough voice, obviously directing his men to carry a jar of wine to this side of the ship, and the sound of footsteps was endless.
Huanxituo and the others in the cabin pricked up their ears, listening to the movement outside with bated breath, and after a long time, the sound of the staggered blades shook people's ears, and the scolding suddenly became loud.
"Who are you, you have eaten the bear's heart and the leopard's gall......." Before the sixth son finished speaking, he heard him let out a miserable howl.
"Don't move, the officers and soldiers have official business, and those who move recklessly will be killed." With this shout, the battle outside the cabin immediately stopped.
Immediately after the curtain was raised, a head came in, and Huanxituo shouted loudly: "Blind Zhou, hurry up and untie us, why are you stunned?"
The man who was called Zhou Blind was left with only one eye, and there was darkness in the cabin, and it took him a while to get used to the light in the cabin, and when he saw the situation clearly, he walked in with a smile, and while pulling out the dagger and cutting the ropes one by one, he joked to Huanxituo! "Brother Tuo, why are you tied up into a dumpling, my day, what does this taste like......"
It wasn't until Huanxituo and the others lined up one by one that they came out of the cabin crookedly and crookedly, and they saw the situation outside clearly. Here is a bend of the waterway into the river, the river is narrow, the water flow is not turbulent because of the reason for the backflow, there are a lot of stone caves and trees on both sides, I am happy to walk the road for a long time, of course, I know that it is easy to hide the ship here, it is an excellent place for the water bandits to ambush, I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Liuzi, who has always been arrogant, was paralyzed motionless on the deck like a dead dog at the moment, Fu Jiu and his men were forced to form a circle by more than a dozen boatmen dressed up and holding sharp blades, and the rest of the accompanying ships were surrounded by more than a dozen clippers, and the people on the boats were all in the uniforms of officers and soldiers, with dazzling swords and guns. Obviously, they used a cargo ship as bait, and directly boarded the boat that held Huanxituo and the others, and then suddenly attacked, restrained Fu Jiu and his men, once the hostages were worry-free, the other officers and soldiers who were ambushed in the river bay suddenly came out again, and there was a roll-up meeting, this ambush was indeed clean and beautiful.
On the bow of the boat stood two people, one was burly, with a full beard, the cuffs were turned out, and a large iron wrench on his thumb was very eye-catching, and a young man standing next to him was in great contrast, and the style of Sven Wen was silent.
"Fifth Brother Kui, Brother Liu, thank you so much!" Joy and clench your fists as a salute.
"Thank you, who is with you, brothers, go ashore and wash, this body is really enough for you to bear. Simao has prepared a pressure wine for you. Kui Wu laughed.
When he saw Simao, Wang Fugui and his mouth were full of mixed feelings, but they couldn't talk about it, Simao still looked like he was smiling: "Come on, come on, let me introduce you to two good friends, although they are in Baqi, they are both Xiang family, and they are half of the Jianghu people." As he spoke, he let them into the house.
The two people sitting in the center were the two who had just rescued them on the river.
"Brother Tuo introduced it just now." Wang Fugui said as he said with a white mouth and a big salute.
Kui Wuyi dragged the two of them with one hand: "Simao's brother is my old Kui's brother, let's not do this."
Wang Fugui looked sincere: "Fifth Brother Kui, the grace of saving lives is still secondary, our family has been preserved, and our brothers can't afford to repay this love in this life."
Kui Wu laughed: "I'm not greedy for this merit, you still thank Brother Simao, the plan was set by him, and the position of the ambush was also chosen by him, and he also gave a great credit to my brother after catching Fujiu, if you want to say thank you, I have to thank him with you."
Simao interjected on the side: "Can we not thank you so much?" Brother, I have my chest against my back, and I will talk about it on the table if I have anything to say. After speaking, he pointed to a long-bearded man in his thirties behind him: "This is my senior brother who is also a fellow senator, the boss of the local Cao Gang, known as the Water Harrier, and he will be disturbed by your light."
This sentence made everyone applaud. The taste of being a prisoner on the way is not pleasant, not to mention the rope, there is no way to eat and drink, after washing up after going ashore, the spirit is refreshing, and the stomach is growling. Just now I saw that the table full of wine and meat was already salivating, Simao's words were like opening the floodgates, and everyone was divided into several tables under the greeting of the water harrier, and immediately started at full speed, eating and drinking.
Simao and Kui Wu and others were smiling and drinking, as for the dishes, they tasted it lightly, and kept looking at Huanxituo, Wang Fugui, Qiaozuibai and others shook off their cheeks and feasted, especially Huanxituo's combat effectiveness was the strongest, muttering a piece of pig's head meat in his mouth, a piece of chicken leg was sandwiched in the bowl, and his hand had reached out to a big hoof, and he didn't forget to pour a sip of wine in his busy schedule, and Shunzi was also stuffed with a bulging mouth, and he vaguely counted Huanxituo: "Look at your eating appearance, let a few big brothers laugh, hey, you leave me a chicken leg."
Huanxituo sneered at each other while eating: "Look at yourself, after a while, the whole plate of braised pork will be in your stomach, you... Did you chew it? ”
Everyone watched the two of them bickering, and they all looked at each other.
This banquet of wine did not slowly slow down until Huanxituo and the others were full for seven or eight minutes. Only then did Simao have time to persuade: "Today is time, let's eat and drink slowly, we can't bear it if we have a strong stomach."
Huanxituo wiped his greasy mouth and said, "Why did you come now, causing us to suffer all the hardships of those two bastards along the way."
"I knew that there would be so many changes, and I would have arrived a long time ago. But firstly, we are not familiar with the water and land terrain of Hongze Lake, and it is useless to go to the door without touching the door, and secondly, I am just a backhand, and I asked Fifth Brother Dekui and Brother Harrier to help, and the result really came in handy. Listening to Simao's explanation, everyone also figured it out, but the fact is that the terrain is unfamiliar, even if these people enter Hongze Lake, they are blind, and they say that they are rescued, and it is unknown if they fall into it. And if you are prepared to set up an ambush in case, this is indeed the best location, first, the river bay here is convenient for the brigade to hide, and it can be taken by surprise and attacked unprepared. Second, the river is narrow, which is conducive to encirclement and not conducive to the other party's escape. In addition, the strategy was used to board the ship first, and Fu Jiu and the others were controlled, preventing the other party from using Huanxituo and others as hostages to form a stalemate, as long as it was a short time, the foreshadowing hidden in the river bay could quickly approach and be captured, which was obviously the safest and most effective way. It's better than that kind of blind blindness, I don't know how much.
"Yes, I apologized to your brother for my fart." Huanxituo was also single, raised a glass to apologize, wiped his mouth after a sip of wine was dried, and a Sixi pill had a smile on his face: "But this time, brother, I lost at least a few catties of meat, you can find me some to make up for it."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at Huanxituo's gags, and Simao also laughed: "You can say how you want to make up for it."
Huanxituo stretched out his round fat hand and compared the number three.
Simao asked in surprise, "What do you mean?" I don't understand! ”
"You just said it before you left, why didn't you recognize it in a blink of an eye, you said that we came back to pick us up?"
Simao slapped his forehead: "Is it a meal of flower wine in Baoxiangyuan?"
Huanxituo nodded, and continued to gesture with three.
"What a big deal, let's eat three meals."
Huanxituo snorted: "If you want to be beautiful, at least for three days."
Wang Fugui took over the conversation on the side: "I have to invite this wine, and the brothers will go."
"Yes, we should please, everybody go. Have fun, and thank you for your life-saving grace. ”?
Kui Wu said: "Let's talk about it, brother, I am holding Fu Jiu and others this time, and if I want to go back to the camp to hand over the order, I can't go to the mouth, so I can only say thank you."
"Fifth Brother Kui, how are you going to send Fu Jiu and Liuzi this time?" Simao asked suddenly.
"Of course, I asked them about the crime of entrenching in Hongze Lake and robbing merchants, Fu Jiu and Qiu Laogang are guilty of the same crime, as for the sixth son, they will be punished with accomplices."
"What if they don't admit their guilt or even ramp up on others?" Simao's sentence actually got to the point, in fact, his extraneous voice was to say that if Fu Jiu climbed on the heads of Wang Fugui and others, it would really be a thief biting into the bone.
Kui Wu pondered for a moment and said: "This kind of case is according to the rules, our army only takes people, but the trial and sentence should be managed by the yamen of Jingzhou Mansion, and if a big case like this is done, there will be a provincial government to personally interrogate, these two boys really want to bite people, it's really not easy to handle, otherwise, let's not do it...... "Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Kui Wu's eyes, and everyone understood that he meant to kill his mouth, but it was dozens of lives, and in Kui Wu's mouth, it was as easy as pinching dozens of bed bugs to death.
Simao knows very well in his heart that Kui Wu is from the army, and the Eight Banners are not pampered, and it is not that he has not done anything to kill bandits for military merit, in the prosperous era of Yongqian, it is difficult for soldiers to have the credit of promotion, and it is easy to seize this good opportunity to make great contributions, of course he will not let it go easily, in case he is judged by the local government government and has some extraneous branches, and finally spoils the credit he has received, Kui Wu is afraid that he will really dare to do something that kills people and kills people without proof.
Everyone was silent, especially Wang Fugui and Qiaozuibai, although Fu Jiu was a mortal enemy, but if the other Fish Gang's helpers were implicated and killed, they would inevitably feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox. But they and Kui Wu are both new friends, and they have just received the great favor of his rescue, so it is inconvenient to openly oppose it, so they all look at Simao.
Simao thought for a while, did not open his mouth to object, but said slowly: "Fifth brother, the killing and surrender have been unknown since ancient times, and for the sake of our brothers, let you bear this great responsibility, we would rather be implicated than you make such a decision."
This sentence shows Simao's cleverness, Kui Wu can't help but not be embarrassed by being refuted in public, but thinks that Simao is righteous enough and thinks about his friends. He is also an old fritter who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and immediately followed the words and said: "Then according to your meaning, brother, what is the perfect solution?"
