Chapter 254: Huang Zhong Meets Gan Ning
"Brother Hansheng, we have been following Zhang Zhongjing for more than half a month, and we have even gone all the way from Nanyang to Jingling, do we really want to follow him for a year and a half?" Xi Zhicai sat on a small boat, swaying from side to side along the water of the river, looking at his comfortable appearance, it was obvious that his body had improved a lot.
"You lazy sour Confucian, Doctor Zhang rescued you from the ghost gate, and you didn't say thank you?"
Before Huang Zhong could speak, Zhang Ren smiled and scolded at Xi Zhicai. The relationship between several people has gone through the common advance and retreat of these days, and it has a bit of a taste of seeing each other late.
"Haha, if I don't return for a year, I'm afraid that Xun Wenruo and Jia Wenhe, the lord, will scold me behind my back......" Xi Zhicai laughed and grabbed the wine glass that Zhang Ren had just filled. With the improvement of his body, Xi Zhicai's personality seems to have returned to his youth, and he is just like Guo Jia.
"I've drunk enough today!"
Xi Zhi just put the wine glass to his mouth, but was stopped by a big hand, it was Huang Zhong who looked at Jiang Mian with some emotion.
"Doctor Zhang said that although your body has improved, you can't drink more than three cups a day...... Now it's the fourth cup! Huang Zhong's face was full of solemnity.
At that time, his son was not treated, which led to the loss of his son in middle age, and now Huang Zhong is very concerned about Xi Zhicai, not only because Xi Zhi is Lu Bu's confidant, but also because Huang Zhong thought of his son and didn't want Xi Zhi to waste Zhang Zhongjing's efforts.
"Good, good...... Brother Hansheng is in charge, so Zhicai won't drink it...... But how long do we have to wait? Xi Zhicai said, his expression was upright, and he was no longer debauched. Although Xi Zhicai said that he was in Jingling, thousands of miles away from Bingzhou, he still couldn't let go of it in his heart......
"Fast is half a month, slow is March, there is still a pair of medicine has not been found, although Zhicai's disease has improved a lot, but after all, it has not been cured, now it is okay in Jingzhou, as long as he returns to Bingzhou, he will still not live for five years!" Huang Zhong's tone was full of firmness, and Zhang Zhongjing's explanation before leaving, Huang Zhong did not forget a word.
"A couple of boats came from behind and followed us all the time. I guess we've run into the Yangtze River thieves. Zhang Ren said suddenly.
"Water thieves? Do pirates have such a big ship? Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, he stood up, and looked in the direction of Zhang Ren's finger, and sure enough, a hundred feet away from the boat under his feet, there were four ships that were constantly approaching, but the strange thing was that in the middle of these four boats, there was a colorful Shu brocade.
"Boatman? This place is often infested with water thieves? Xi Zhicai walked to the stern of the boat and asked the boatman who was rocking the oars.
"Sir, you can rest assured, this is not an ordinary water thief, but a brocade thief. This brocade thief is famous for robbing the rich and helping the poor, and a small boat like me, the brocade thief will not do it. When the boatman heard the word water thief, he hurriedly looked around, and when he saw the boat following behind him hanging a brocade sail, he was not worried, but smiled and said to Xi Zhicai.
"Sail thief?" Huang Zhong on the side suddenly came to his senses.
"Oh? Brother Han Sheng is also quite familiar with this brocade thief? Xi Zhicai discovered the emotion in Huang Zhong's tone.
"On the Yangtze River, as long as they are from poor people, there are few people who do not remember the benefits of the Jinfan thief...... Since this brocade thief came to the Yangtze River to do business, he not only robbed the rich and helped the poor, but also drove away the water thieves who had caused trouble on the Yangtze River. The family is afraid of it like a tiger, and the common people respect it like a god, which is also a big shame for Jingzhou...... "Huang Zhong seems to have seen it since he left Liu Biao, originally he didn't have a good impression of the Jinfan thief, but now when he heard an ordinary boatman praise the Jinfan thief, how can he still understand the people's heart of Jingzhou?
"Interesting! Interesting! I didn't expect that there were such interesting water thieves on the Yangtze River. Xi Zhicai clapped his hands and said with a laugh.
The lord might like this guy......
The four boats gradually approached, slowly rowing past the small boat where Xi Zhicai and the others were.
As the boatman said, the four boats did not embarrass them, on the contrary, several boatmen greeted the boatman.
Xi Zhicai secretly sighed, in this troubled era, I am afraid that for the common people, the officers and soldiers are the real bandits!
"Stop the boat!" Just as the boats of the four brocade thieves were about to row over, a loud shout sounded, and with the skillful movements of the boatman, the four boats actually stopped in the middle of the Yangtze River.
"What a fragrant wine! The boatman! But the wine on your ship? A bold voice sounded, and I saw a tall man standing on one of the ships among the brocade thieves, although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could clearly see that he was wearing a colorful short-sleeved robe, standing majestically at the stern of the boat and shouting at Xi Zhicai's side.
The boatman seemed a little embarrassed, on weekdays, these sail thieves did not take care of them as ferrymen, but this wine was not their own, so they couldn't take other people's things to offer treasures.
"The wine is here, and the strong man wants to drink it, but he gets it!" At this time, there was already a distance of seven or eight zhang between the two ships, but Huang Zhong suddenly yelled.
"Looking at the bird feathers on his head, you can know that most of this person is Gan Ning Gan Xingba, the leader of the Jinfan thieves!" Huang Zhong introduced a sentence to Xi Zhicai in a low voice. But it made Xi Zhicai laugh.
Na Gan Ning didn't expect to receive such an answer, and his brothers also followed suit.
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled boldly, bent down and picked up a bundle of ropes from the deck of his ship, and then grabbed a long knife from his subordinates, and tied a dead knot on the handle of the long knife with the end of the rope. I took it in my hand, smiled, and threw it directly towards Sun Chu's boat, the long knife with a strong wind, "whoosh", and nailed directly to the deck of Sun Chu's boat, and the long knife near the zhang did not enter the handle.
"Some-and-so!" Gan Ning roared, his body was vertical, and he stepped on the rope to quickly cross the river, and jumped to the boat on Xi Zhicai's side with his skills.
Looking at Gan Ning's beautiful skills, whether it was the Jinfan thieves on the four ships or the boatmen here, they all applauded, and even Huang Zhong had to praise himself in his heart, this Gan Ning really deserved his reputation, and Huang Zhong really sighed to himself for this water kung fu.
"A strong man is a good skill! Come! Then! Since Huang Zhong broke away from Liu Biao, he naturally no longer had any hostility towards Gan Ning, and he clearly saw the meaning of friendship in the eyes of Xi Zhicai, and naturally he was happy to fulfill Lu Bu, and immediately waved his hand, and a jar of wine flew directly to Gan Ning
