A joke can only be a joke. The heroes of the Gan Ning world will definitely not bow down because of a joke.

And Qin Xu didn't expect Gan Ning to easily change his mind just because of such a joke. After all, Liu Biaojun has a friend Su Fei who has a good relationship with Gan Ning, and with Gan Ning's righteous temperament, unless he meets Huang Zu who is still as illiterate as in history, it is really difficult to persuade Gan Ning to "defect" to his friend's camp when the two armies are at war now.

However, with this opening joke, a signal of goodwill has actually been conveyed between the two. Although he did not continue to talk about this topic in depth, Qin Xu's goal had actually been achieved. Regarding Gan Ning, who appeared in the field of vision as an "unexpected joy", Qin Xu's plan was to leave a deep impression in the heart of the future Dongwu general, so that when Huang Zu "helped" in the future, he would have the words to contact Gan Ning again. Speaking of the last time Xu Huang happened, it was because his confidence was too bursting and he ignored the connection, which made Cao Cao take a big bargain. Since then, as long as he thinks of Xu Huang's matter, Qin Xu scratches his head depressedly, and often warns himself that he must not let similar things happen again.

With this relatively relaxed opening remark, there was a lot less estrangement between Qin Xu and Gan Ning, one was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and the other was a thief who fell into the rivers and lakes. Lu Yi, who was staring at each other outside the military tent, and the nervous and restless Jiang thieves could only hear the laughter of Qin Xu and Gan Ning from time to time in the military tent, but they couldn't understand what else to talk about between these two people with disparity in status. Even until the sun turned west. Only then did he see Gan Ning and Qin Xu arm out, shouting and leading the crowd away.

"My lord, a certain view of this Gan Xingba is a maverick. He is also unruly, relying on bravery, and does not look at people in his eyes, in the final analysis, he is just a thief with some brute strength, even if there are more than 100 people's lives in his hands, how can he treat the lord with such courtesy? Seeing Gan Ning babbling and leading a group of river thieves away. Lu Yi held back for a long time before he said the doubts in his heart. You must know that although I was ordered by Qin Xu to guard the door of the handsome tent just now. But when such a notorious guy as Gan Ning was alone in a military tent with Qin Xu, Lu Yi was still under considerable pressure, and his attention was simply not daring to leave Qin Xu's military tent easily. If something happens to this, Lu Yi only feels that he is simply dead. It's easy to see Qin Xu and Gan Ning coming out. I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Gan Ning's back. said indignantly.

"Gan Xingba has promised to release the missing soldier back, and he needs to send someone to take over. You can run this matter yourself, the time is urgent, and you still remember not to cause any trouble. You must know that the day before yesterday, Fengxiao had led 5,000 Wujun soldiers to Yuzhang to support Sun Guan Yinli and deal with the 30,000 incoming coalition troops. I hope it's not too late to go, so that Fengxiao is too proud! "A complaint about the strong man of Lu Yi. Qin Xu didn't explain much, just chuckled, seeing that Lu Yi still had a little bit of complaining, knowing that Lu Yi was worried about his safety, he said with a smile: "Before you go, let's see if you have woken up, this revenge of his body, I'm afraid you don't have to wait too long to get revenge!" ”

"Huh? Promise! After all, Lu Yi is also a clear-minded character, Qin Xu said vaguely, but he also understood a little, his eyes lit up, and he went as promised.

Qin Xu's side was appeasing the general and preparing to pull out the camp, while Gan Ning led these dozens of river thieves to leave Qin Xu's military camp, but he was also asked by his confused subordinates what happened in the tent, whether it would cause Huang Zu, the general of Liu Biaojun, who was scheduled to defect, to misunderstand.

"What is there to be misunderstood! You don't know, because I was too aggrieved in the previous incident, I didn't tell you about it. Gan Ning was also very kind to the thieves under him, and when he saw that he was anxious to ask, he hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "Su Fei, a friend of a certain person before, has actually asked for a safe place for us, but I don't want to go." ”

"Big brother, where are you going? Presumably, Brother Su's recommendation will inevitably make you highly used, even if you can't stretch for a while, with the ability of the eldest brother, there will definitely be a day when you will come out, and we will just follow the light, what is this called...... The unitail is coming? "One of the two river thieves who had eaten Lu Yi's "hospitality" before, and this time he was able to hold up for two hours under the eyes of Lu Yi, who was not in the right place, saw Gan Ning reading on weekdays, and also found a down-and-out scribe to learn a few words of dragging, and immediately asked.

"Humph! If you don't learn, you can't do it! Let go of the gentleman you 'invited' before it's too late! What a unitail, that's called a tail attached! It can be seen that Gan Ning's mood is not bad, he scolded his subordinates with a smile, and said: "You wait to follow a certain wandering in the rivers and lakes, and work hard, and a certain will definitely give you an explanation." It's just that you don't know, although Liu Biao's army is fighting under the pretext of the Mandate of Heaven this time, whether in terms of strength or support, it is not comparable to only 20,000 people in Jiangdong District, but Huang Zu really underestimates the heroes of the world! I won't hide it from you, that day, Su Fei's brother used up his face before, and what he asked for in front of Huang Zu was just a rough job of paddling at the bottom of the boat. Although we are thieves, but we are all bloody men, if we are blood spilled on the battlefield to win a wife and a son, for the horse leather shroud is also returned, such a small matter, there are auxiliary soldiers and people available, Huang Zu so placed us, will not show us as miscellaneous soldiers? Hum! This time I intersected with that Qin Xu, in fact, it was also to leave a way back for you and me, and I would definitely not let my brothers be thieves for a long time. ”

"Huang Zu Lao'er despises his eldest brother so much, it's really damn tight!" Gan Ning has a high prestige among the water thieves, and after hearing that Huang Zu was recommended by Su Fei, he actually despised Gan Ning so much, but the water thieves stopped doing it, gritting their teeth one by one, their faces were hideous, and they just wanted to tear off a piece of Huang Zu's flesh.

"Big brother......, little brother looks at you and that Qin...... Qin envoys talked very happily, why don't we just take those more than 100 people as your advanced gift for your eldest brother, and lower Lu Bu! One of the first two river thieves, when he heard Gan Ning's words, he also looked indignant, and the person who was originally standing on the bow of the boat and was captured by Lu Yi, and was just scolded by Gan Ning for letting go of the gentleman he invited him, but he guessed Gan Ning's thoughts, pursed his mouth, and said.

"You're so open-minded!" Gan Ning didn't reply directly, patted the person's shoulder, looked at the river, laughed, and said to himself: "It's a pity that the time is not right!" Brother Su Fei is a friend of a certain person, this time the two armies are fighting, he is a general under Huang Zu, even if he does not help him, it is already against the friendship of friends, how can he bear to draw a sword against each other? And Qin envoy Jun ...... But it is enough to be called my Gan Ning's confidant in my life, alas, ......, and take a look at it again, if you can't help each other, it's a big deal, after releasing those soldiers who first boarded the camp according to the agreement, let's say goodbye to Su Fei, go up the river, and kill back to Shu County! ”

"What the eldest brother said is that with the name of our Jinfan thief, this river is tens of thousands of miles up, where can we not have a place to stay!" Seeing that Gan Ning's interest was really not high, the water thieves subconsciously did not continue to entangle themselves in this matter, and everyone returned to the boat and headed towards the island in the camp of the army.

"Big brother! Slow down! The boat had just gone upstream, that is, five or seven miles of water, when suddenly I saw a clipper approaching from the upstream like an arrow, and I could hear the words of the other party in the distance. Everyone recognized this boat, and the people were also recognized by his subordinates, and it was one of the water thieves that Gan Ning left on the island.

"What's going on?" A secret conversation with Qin Xu made Gan Ning extinguish his plan to fish in troubled waters during the war between Liu Biao and Lu Bu's two armies, and only thought about how to live up to his friend and his "confidant" on the other. It doesn't matter if anything else, after all, it's just a place to rest, as long as there are these brocade ships, there is nowhere to go everywhere in the river. What Gan Ning is worried about is that at this moment, on the island, there are still more than 100 soldiers of the first battalion who Gan Ning has promised to return to Qin Xu, and these people can be regarded as treasures whether they are to Qin Xu or Liu Biao. Qin Xu's subordinates are all northern soldiers, and this possibility can be ruled out. If it was discovered by Liu Biao's scout and reconnaissance ship, and the army was attracted to take over this group of "treasures" and use them to create public opinion to attack Qin Xu's army, then Gan Ning's face would be really swept away, and he couldn't say that he really wanted to turn his face and scold his mother.

"Big Brother ......" the boat going down the river don't look at the turbulent river, but it is very flexible, after approaching Gan Ning's Jinfan boat, he took advantage of the situation, and saw a person on the boat rushing up, only blink of an eye, then climbed onto the side of Gan Ning's boat, came to Gan Ning's face, saw Gan Ning's face was hidden in unkindness, so he didn't dare to hide more, and hurriedly said: "General Su Fei is in a hurry, it seems that there is an important matter to discuss with the eldest brother." A certain dare not be good at it, knowing that the eldest brother went down the river, he specially came to look for it. ”

"Brother Su Fei is here?" Gan Ning was also stunned, he really didn't know that Su Fei had just said that Huang Zu was unwilling to take him in, so that Gan Ning should not be anxious, and wait for him to think of a way to see if he could talk about Gan Ning's bravery, so that Huang Zu could change his mind and look at him differently. It is precisely because of this that Gan Ning gave birth to the idea of going to the hinterland of Jiangdong to "reconnoitre", and on the big river outside Wu County, he "coincidentally encountered" a merchant ship that was enough to be used as a name for more than 100 soldiers who boarded the camp first. There's a lot to be said, but it's only been four or five days. didn't know what happened to Su Fei, so Su Fei, who had always been cautious, came to report to him in person, regardless of being a thief.
