The Troubled Times Begin Chapter 58 The Water Thief Gan Ning
"Their leader likes to dress in fancy clothes, so this water thief calls himself the Jinfan Army, but everyone else calls it the Jinfan Thief!" Jiang Qin replied.
"Wait! Is their leader called Ganning? When Lu An heard this, his heart moved, and he interrupted.
"The lord knows him too?" Jiang Qin was a little surprised, but said to himself: "But this Gan Ning is indeed a well-known hero in Jingzhou, he is not only brave and unparalleled, but the eight hundred brocade sail thieves under his command are also rampant on the water, compared to the most elite sailors in the world, although the subordinates have the help of our Wuling 1,000 athletes on this return trip, but they are not their opponents, they were robbed of money and food, and please punish the lord!" ”
With that, Jiang Qin knelt down again and pleaded guilty to Lu An.
"Get up! I don't blame you for this! Lu An's face was gentle, he thought for a moment, and then asked: "You just said that he and you are old acquaintances, so why did he rob your goods, and asked me to get them back myself!" ”
"This, my subordinates don't know!" Jiang Qin thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said: "In the past, when my eldest brother and I were water thieves, although I had little contact with Gan Ning, we all walked together, so we have always been well water and not river water!" Occasionally, they will say hello to each other or something, this time when our building boat met him, the subordinates thought that he would read it for the sake of the old acquaintance, and it would be convenient, and it was really fine when he first took a look, but when the subordinates talked to him for a few words, he suddenly turned his face and didn't recognize people, and directly detained our boat, I don't know what crazy it was! ”
"Huh? What did you say to him? Lu An frowned lightly and asked.
"Huh! didn't say anything, and when he started to look at me, he saw that it was me, and he was ready to let go, and he chuckled lightly and asked me how I became an official soldier? The subordinates told the truth, saying that thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, he was willing to accept his subordinates as the superintendent of water and help the lord train and manage the city defense, and then he suddenly got angry and scolded, you can actually take on this kind of heavy responsibility, and then he started to rob the goods! said that unless the lord went to redeem it in person, don't think about this money and grain! Jiang Qin's tone was quite helpless, obviously a little confused about Gan Ning's actions.
"Hehe, this Gan Ning is really an interesting person!" Lu An chuckled, it seems that he is going to go on a trip in person this time, if he didn't expect the mistake, this time, he will get another cadre.
After thinking about it in his heart, Lu An asked Jiang Qin: "Do you know where Gan Ning is haunting?" ”
"Huh! He has always been elusive, but our goods were robbed in the area north of the river outside our Wuling County! If he hadn't left, he would still be hanging around there! Jiang Qin scratched his head and said. Do water thieves, cunning rabbits three litters, where will there be any fixed routes.
"Hmmm! You go down to rest for a day first, and tomorrow, let's go to the neighborhood together to find Gan Ning and get the goods back!" Lu An nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and asked him to go back to recuperate, and prepare to meet the famous Jinfan thief together tomorrow.
"Subordinates retire!" Jiang Qin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, arched his hand, and retreated.
The morning sun pierced the night, and a new day began, and the industrious people were now toiling in the fields towards the rising sun, and they now had their own land, except for the necessary official taxes, so the people were looking forward to a good harvest this year than before.
And Lu An was already sailing on the water on the building boat at this time, looking for the Jinfan thief Gan Ning.
"Lord, if we come out this time, we will bring five hundred soldiers, will it be too few! Anyway, you have to bring 2,000 people to be suitable! Although he had asked many times since his departure, seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Jiang Qin couldn't help but say something again.
"Didn't you say that the Jinfan Thief is a super elite who can be ten on the water? What difference does it make between us taking 500 and 2,000? Lu An smiled faintly, not caring about this problem.
"But with such a small number of people, if Gan Ning tears his face and wants to do it, the safety of the lord will be...!" Jiang Qin was a little worried, as if he was afraid of the worst-case scenario.
"Huh! Rest assured! Gan Ning forced me to show up, I had another intention, I won't attack us, you don't have to worry too much about security! Lu An patted him on the shoulder, and then said confidently: "Even if he wants to make trouble, Lu Bu can't do anything to me back then, and this Gan Ning naturally can't move me at all!" ”
"But water warfare is different from land warfare, Gan Ning's combat power on the water far exceeds that on land, and once something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape!" Jiang Qin was still a little worried, and as he spoke, he patted his head with annoyance: "I should call my eldest brother here today, although my eldest brother's martial arts are slightly inferior to Gan Ning, he can also resist one or two, with him, the safety of the lord will be absolutely fine." ”
"Don't overthink it! Since I dare to come, I am naturally sure! Lu An glanced at Jiang Qin, although he was a little moved by his concern for his safety, but a big man was always chattering beside him, which was really a bit noisy.
"Huh! The lord has a bamboo in his chest, that is the best! Jiang Qin seemed to feel Lu An's somewhat impatient tone, so he didn't say anything more. It's just that I secretly made up my mind in my heart that if something really happened, I would escort the lord away first.
"My lord, there is an unknown seagull warship ahead!" At this time, Lu An and the others had moved away from the land and were driving in the middle of the river, and at this time, a sergeant seemed to have noticed an abnormal situation in front of them and quickly came to report the order.
"It's Gan Ning who is here, and among the water thieves, he is the only one who has a warship." Jiang Qin looked ahead, and immediately took a defensive posture, and said with a solemn expression.
"A water thief can actually get mixed with a warship, and the name of this brocade thief is really not covered!" Lu An was a little surprised, this kind of regular warship is very well-made, and it is generally only available to the elite navy of the imperial court, and the water thieves do not have the technology to make this kind of warship, and they don't know where Gan Ning's warship came from.
"He's really bold! At that time, Liu Biao sent heavy troops to intercept him on the river, not only was he easily escaped, but later he broke a whole small fleet with the strength of one person, and captured several warships, and it was precisely because of this battle that he was famous in the whole Jingzhou, and became the idol in the hearts of all the water thieves. Jiang Qin's expression was quite complicated. For heroes, whether they are friends or enemies, they will always be respected.
