Chapter 45: The Salt Gang Invites Each Other to Go Alone
Liu Xiang told Liu Ba about the entire process of suppressing thieves, and Liu Ba sighed for a while.
"It seems that I, Liu Ba, have to thank this person, it was he who saved my father with a fire. The eunuch also wanted to bring this person to Luoyang, if it weren't for this person, the eunuch would have returned to the west long ago. But this person is really strange, not to mention being good at strange and obscene skills, and his martial arts are so good. It is said that this son was instructed by a hermit master, and even Xiangyang Pang Degong praised this son, handed over his slave to this person, and served him as a teacher. ”
"What?" Liu Xiang stood up and said in astonishment: "Is this true? ”
Liu Ba said with a smile on his face: "The child also heard about it, and he was not sure, but since then, he has been to Xiangyang twice by boat, and this matter is absolutely good." ”
Liu Xiang sat down and thought for a while: "Since it is a person admired by Pang Degong, there must be something strange about it, you will pack up tomorrow and go to Exian County for a while, under the pretext of thanking him for saving his father, to find out what is so strange about this person, if he can be pulled under the account of his father, it will be a great achievement." ”
"Yes! Father! ”
In October, the name of Yang Xi and Yang Chenhe in Exian County spread out of Exian County, Jiangxia family, and talked more about this matter. Finally, someone spread the name of Yang Xiyu's face killing god. So both black and white, both in awe of the boundaries of Exian County.
In the north mountain of Xiling, Jian Lance sat on the top, with a fierce face.
Jian Xian's face was also solemn.
"What a jade-faced killing god, I finally found out your source. Yizhou, you guard the cottage, wait for your brother to order 300 people, and rush to Exian County in the next few days, kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”
"Big brother! Don't worry, this matter should be considered in the long run. Since Yang Xi has the name of killing gods with a jade face, and has been operating in Exian County for a long time, there are some foundations, I will rush over, in case there is a mistake, this cottage is indispensable to the eldest brother. Even if you want to go, you can't go directly to the door, we have some dealings with the local salt gang, why not scatter some money and borrow a knife to kill? ”
"It's still thoughtful that Yizhou thinks, this time the county soldiers attacked, I could have killed them all without spending a single soldier, but I didn't want to come up with a jade-faced killing god, broke my brother's desperate plan, and made me a cottage and lost two hundred brothers. Yizhou, the matter of revenge is left to you to deal with, and this matter of dealing with outsiders is not my brother's strength. ”
Jian Yan got up and hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, my younger brother will make that jade-faced killing god turn into a black-faced dead man!" ”
Although Jian Yan didn't know what kind of medicine Yang Xi sold in the gourd when he released the water that day, it was a real fact to sabotage his water attack plan and let his 200 brothers die tragically, and this revenge cannot be avenged.
In fact, Yang Xi has been very depressed these days, and after the war, he knew that the Xiling Yellow Turban Thief would definitely take revenge on himself. My identity is not a mystery. But in the past few days, there has been a person who can't show his strength, and this person is Liu Ba.
Liu Ba is about the same age as Yang Xi, but their identities are far apart, one is from a farmer, and the other is the son of Taishou. His grandfather Liu Yao was the Taishou of Cangwu County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was an official eunuch. This kind of person, Yang Xi doesn't want to contact now. Yang Xi doesn't think that he is like some actors, he has the spirit of a king, others see him and say a few nonsense words such as Kuang Fu Dahan, and others cry and shout to call him the lord.
This Liu Ba sucked Yang Xi every day, invited Yang Xi to drink, in the Chenhe Hotel, he wanted to eat the best, and paid for it himself, Yang Xi was a little gracious. He kept saying that he was here to thank him for saving his father, but Yang Xi knew that he was here to be a lobbyist for Liu Xiang.
All kinds of temptations, Yang Xi was not fooled. Just kidding, just with your three-inch tongue, I, Yang Xi, will work hard for your family?
Besides, your father is also a short-lived ghost, cooperating with a person at the level of Sun Jian's god of war, people are not afraid to say it, but also have the ability, you Liu Xiang is at best the second generation of officials, and compared with Sun Jian's force, it is just scum. Otherwise, it would not have been attacked by Nanyang soldiers and peasants two years later and killed directly.
Liu Ba followed for a few days, and found that Yang Xi didn't give himself much face, and he didn't go back, just like Pang Shanmin, he trained with Yang Xi. Not to mention, this Liu Ba still has two strokes, and he is proficient in six arts, at least in archery, which is much stronger than Yang Xi.
But Yang Xi has never practiced archery from beginning to end, and what he wants to use is not such a primitive thing, at least he has to get a crossbow machine that saves more effort.
However, after getting along for a few days, Yang Xi felt that this Liu Ba was not bad, and seeing that Yang Xi was indifferent, he also gave up. But he found that Yang Xi was indeed a little different from ordinary people, so he simply got permission from Yang Xi, and occasionally went to the school to listen to classes, and Yang Xi instantly felt a lot quieter.
In Yang Xi's cognition, the heroes of Jiangxia are nothing more than two people, one is Liu Ba and the other is Huang Zu.
Now that Liu Ba is here, he does find that Liu Ba has some talent, and he is still young, and he has 11% brain development, and he will definitely break through in the future.
As for Huang Zu, the person who can besiege and kill Sun Jian, after killing, can still resist the revenge of the Sun family in Jiangxia, and he will not be able to advance an inch for eight or nine years, what kind of person is this.
However, if Liu Ba does not leave for a day, the force of the Chenhe factory cannot be shown, which will arouse Liu Xiang's vigilance.
As a last resort, Yang Xi asked Roland to transfer county soldiers and train in Chenhe Port for a long time.
Now Chenhe Port has already expanded by two or three times, and it is more than enough to make room for the county soldiers to camp. The relationship between the Hu family and Chenhe Port can be regarded as relatively iron.
Hu Zhuo, the son of the Hu family, can be regarded as giving Yang Xi a lot of face, the two are really brothers, and he has made a lot of efforts in buying and selling land.
The vice president of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, Yang Xi asked the Hu family to sit on it sooner or later. However, it has not yet reached this level, unless the Hu family relies on the Chenhe factory to a higher level.
With the guards of 200 county soldiers, Yang Xi felt much more relieved.
Now all that remains is the problem of eight large ships.
When the boat is traveling, Yang Xi is not afraid, as long as it starts, nothing can catch up. I'm afraid that when I anchor at the ferry outside, someone will make up my mind. So recently, Yang Xi explained to Dong Cai, as well as all the boats that rented Chenhe Port, were not allowed to stop twice at the same ferry.
After a few days like this, there was nothing to do, and Yang Xi was a little suspicious that the Yellow Turban thieves might be gathering momentum. Sure enough, on this day, Dong Caifei sent back that he was blocked by the Salt Gang on the river in Chaisang Hui Exian County.
This salt gang calls itself the Hunan Gang, the leader of the gang is Qin Fang, a native of Changsha County, the word is good in Xiang, there are 800 gangs under his command, specializing in salt smuggling, there are more than 20 boats, Dong Cai is blocked in the river, although he can't catch up, but he puts arrows in front, Dong Cai does not dare to pass, and has injured four or five brothers.
Yang Xi was shocked, he didn't want to fight with the Salt Gang too early, but he didn't want to, the Yellow Turban Thief actually colluded with the Salt Gang.
It also makes sense, the Yellow Turban thieves are in the mountains, looting for a living, and if there is no salt, they will definitely not be able to jump for a few days.
At this time, the Salt Gang was active, and the county guards in various places also pursued and suppressed it many times, but the Salt Gang was not an ordinary force, and the county soldiers would attack it if they had few people, and if they had more people, they would be reduced to zero, and they would hide in the mountains, and the counties would give up and let it go, anyway, it was for the sake of profit.
The other party blocked but did not attack, obviously waiting for Yang Xi to pass.
Yang Xi didn't put it on, and directly boarded the No. 8 Chenhe River and went straight to the lower reaches of the river.
After less than an hour, Yang Xi saw from a distance, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen boats, lined up on the river.
The Yangtze River is only five miles wide, which is a relatively narrow place. Dong Cai's boat was on that end, and as soon as it was about to rush over, there would be ships to follow and shoot.
Chenhe No. 1 is not unable to rush, but is afraid of losses, Dong Cai was influenced by Yang Xi, and often emphasized that it is necessary to save his life.
Yang Xi stopped the boat, and a thirty-meter-long boat had already approached, and someone on it was greeting: "Is the jade-faced killing god Yang Chenhe on the boat?" The leader of the Hunan Gang is invited, can you dare to get on the boat for a while? ”
Yang Xi was a little embarrassed, although people at this time still talked about the rules, and they generally invited each other in public, and they would not cause harm, but Yang Xi didn't want to gamble his life on the integrity of others.
What's more, at this moment, the Yellow Turban Thief must have someone in the opposing camp, and the Yellow Turban Thief hates himself to the core.
"Could it be that I am the one who went to the meeting alone?" Yang Xi was a little depressed, but it didn't seem to be okay if he didn't go, after all, there was a beam between the two sides, and the contradictions always had to be resolved, and at present, he had no plans to eradicate the salt gang and the yellow turban thieves. Just kidding, the big man can't do it, let alone his Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.
"Forget it, the long pain is better than the short pain, it's a big deal, when I jump into the water, who can stop me." Yang Xi was ruthless in his heart, and replied to the other party: "I am Yang Xi, you just lead the way, and I, Yang Xi, will go with you." ”
The people on the boat were obviously stunned, generally speaking, the bosses of the two parties should at least come forward separately, and then agree on the way of the game on their respective boats, such as pressing the formation, there are thugs at both ends of the table or something, this jade-faced killing god, without saying a word, dared to get on his own boat.
After the two boats docked, Yang Xi ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates, only carried a ring knife in his hand, jumped down, and landed firmly on the other party's boat.
This is a rocking boat, the speed is not slow, more than a dozen strong men, immediately rocked the boat, half an hour later, with a forty-meter boat, Yang Xi on the deck of the ship.
The ship originally seemed to be floating in the river, and the deck was empty, but after Yang Xi got on the deck, there was a sound of footsteps from the warehouse, and finally twenty or thirty big men turned out. Yang Xi fixed his eyes and saw that the leader was an eight-foot young man, with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows and eyes looked young, about twenty years old. The person behind him, Yang Xi was more familiar with, it was one of the leaders of the Yellow Turban thieves who had fought with him before, Jian Xi.
Yang Xi is not stage frightened at all, in this case, if he wants to escape with all his strength, he is eighty percent sure, after all, as long as he jumps into the river, after several years of training, he is afraid that these people will not be able to catch up.
Seeing that Yang Xizhen came alone, Qin Fang, the leader of the Xiang Gang, was also a little surprised.
"The jade-faced killing god is really extraordinary, don't put my Xiang Gang in my eyes, I don't know whether to praise you or laugh at you, if I wait to rush up at this time, even if you have the power to fly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape, hahahaha!"
With this Qin Fang laughing, the big men on the boat all looked up to the sky and laughed.
