15. Shen Feng
Suddenly, everyone moved.
The four tall servants beside Mr. Pei each grabbed their weapons in their hands, two pounced on Mr. Lu, and two pounced on Mr. Bai.
The guards behind Mr. Lu drew their swords and slashed at the two who attacked.
The two servants were holding hard, toothed clubs that looked indestructible. The guard looked rather thin, but the blow of the sword shook both of them backwards. Taking advantage of the situation, he stepped forward and slashed the back of the knife at the back of a man's neck with his backhand, and the man fell to the ground without saying a word.
Another servant fell to the ground with a club in his hand, and took out a dagger from his bosom and stabbed him from the side. The long knife in the guard's hand didn't have time to turn, and he couldn't see how he moved. With a single click, he twisted the servant's wrist and stabbed the dagger back with his backhand.
The servant screamed, his hands bleeding, his feet fell, and he fell to the ground. The guard got rid of the entanglement behind him, stepped forward, raised the long knife in his hand, and the servant on the ground kicked his feet indiscriminately, kicking him in the abdomen, and the knife slashed into the sand. The servant jumped to his feet, wept in tears, and ran with his wounded arm in his arms.
The remaining two servants were in a standoff with the guards beside Mr. Bai. Seeing each other looking at each other, they suddenly turned around and ran wildly, and one of them was carrying a bag on his back. Mr. Pei saw the servants running away and stood still, and the two female dependents saw the blood and sat down on the ground.
Fu Yi saw that the three parties moved their hands and retreated to the side with Han Song on his back. Before the situation can be discerned, the dust has settled. He looked at the guard who had retreated behind Mr. Lu, and he also showed a look of wariness.
Without saying a word, the guard dragged the fainting servant on the ground into the grass.
Mr. Pei looked at the guard, then looked up at the ferry boat that was still on the river, and opened his mouth to shout. Mr. Lu said, "Mr. Pei might as well think again. At this time of year, it is not the good kind who do business with you. If you let them know that your family is alone and has so much possessions with you. It may not be more reasonable to act than me and Bai Lao. ”
Mr. Pei's words were stuck in his throat, and he opened his mouth for a while. Mr. Lu added: "Even if the boatman wants to help you, we will inevitably affect the innocent when we fight, and it is unknown who will be able to grab the boat in the end." It's better for everyone to get on the boat together, get off the boat and go their own way, it's safer. ”
Mr. Pei hesitated, and at this moment the guard walked back from the barren grass, retracted his knife and sheathed it, making a sonorous and crisp sound. Mr. Pei trembled, knelt down, and said, "Lord Lu spare your life!" ”
Mr. Lu said: "Mr. Pei is polite, we are a family when we get on the boat. I call you a big brother, and you call Mr. Bai a father-in-law. ”
He seemed to be very reasonable, but when he saw Mr. Pei kneeling in front of him, his body didn't move. Mr. Pei's face turned red and white when he heard this, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, how can Lao Pei have the ability to be a brother with you!" ”
He got up, took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Mr. Lu, saying, "This is the deposit with the other half of the boatman's family, as well as the paperwork for entering Miancheng." I dragged my family with me, and I couldn't go into the city when I got off the shore, so why bother to occupy the position of Lord Lu. I'm going home, and I wish you all the best of luck. ”
Mr. Lu opened it and looked at it, his eyebrows moved, as if he had something to say. Mr. Pei helped the two ladies up, found two of them on their backs from the packages all over the ground, looked back at him, and said, "My cousin has a bright future in the future. If you encounter it again in the future, you will hope to ...... I hope that my subordinates will be merciful. ”
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly took the second daughter away, and the night was dark, and he disappeared in a few steps.
After reading this dispute, Fu Yi also took a step back and walked in the opposite direction. Mr. Nalu originally looked at Mr. Pei and his party, but at this time he suddenly said, "This chief might as well go with us." ”
Fu Yi stopped and looked at him when he heard this, his eyes were very sharp. Mr. Lu said: "Your Excellency's appearance is not mentioned, that long weapon is not something that farmers can have. I have heard that the defenders of Liangcheng have surrendered, and that the defeated rebels are wanted in all counties. It's very dangerous for you to wander around the river, so let's go with us. ”
Fu Yidao: "Mr. Lu doesn't bring his own brothers, how can he think of bringing me?" ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words. Mr. Lu turned around, but his face was still very calm, and said, "Your Excellency is not carrying your own child, right?" ”
Fu Yi didn't answer, and Mr. Lu said: "When people walk in the world, they are a complete one, where are there so many blood connections." The so-called intimacy and proximity all depend on the opportunities in the future. ”
Fu Yi sighed and said, "You mean you and I are destined?" ”
Mr. Lu said: "I mean, when people are on the run, they don't care about their parents and children. But you have someone else's daughter with you, there must be some important reason. If there is a chance to get out of trouble, why let it go because of anger. ”
There was a whistle from the shore, and the ship stopped not far from the shore. The boat was indeed small, with a long and narrow hull, and two canopy cabins, with a flickering night light hanging from the front cabin, which was not lit, and a ball of fishing nets was wrapped around it. In front of each stood a man with an oar, dressed as a fisherman. A slender woman emerges from the front cabin. She stood on the bow of the boat, looked at everyone with bright eyes, and said crisply: "Which one is Pei Yuanqing?" ”
Mr. Lu said, "It's me." ”
The fisherwoman looked him up and down and said, "Pay first, then get on the boat." ”
Mr. Lu said: "We have paid the deposit, and the rest should be disembarked. ”
The fisherwoman said, "What if you can't afford it?" ”
Mr. Lu said indifferently: "Then you can bring us back." ”
The fisherwoman's eyes widened as if she were about to be angry. Mr. Lu opened the cloth bag in his hand, raised her, and said, "Get off the boat and tie it off." ”
The fisherwoman understood and snorted. She stretched out her hand and swept her forehead, sat down sideways at the bow of the boat, and suddenly slid into the river.
In the night, the river was like a fog, engulfing her in an instant. It took a few breaths before she came out of the shore with a rope wrapped around her hand. She tied the rope to the stakes of the overturned bridge and pulled the boat closer. The man with the oars at the bow of the boat lowers a piece of driftwood. The fisherwoman swam over again and brought the driftwood to the shore.
Mr. Bai led the girl to wait on the shore, and the two servants followed behind with their luggage. Mr. Lu took a few steps back, stood beside Fu Yi, and said in a low voice: "We have to pass the pass, if you go with us, you can't carry a spear." No matter what danger is encountered, such a weapon cannot be used on the ship. ”
Fu Yi looked at him directly, and Mr. Lu's face was calm. Fu Yi looked at him for a while, then looked down at the river, and Han Song saw the water streaks flashing on his face. After a few moments, he reached behind his back, unhooked his spear, and threw it into the river.
The spear was elegantly slid down the riverbank, its blade slamming into the ice and sinking silently.
Han Song thought of Fu Yi coming on a horse when he first saw him, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy. Fu Yi didn't say anything, he put down the basket and let Han Song stand on the ground. Looking around again, he leaned over and picked up the dagger that Mr. Pei's servant had thrown on the ground, and tied it to his sleeve.
Mr. Lu stood aside and watched his movements, and asked, "What do you call Your Excellency?" ”
Fu Yi said: "Jiang Fang." ”
Mr. Lu said: "It's a bit perfunctory to name it like that. ”
Fu Yidao: "It's just a coincidence." ”
Mr. Lu listened and snorted slightly.
Fu Yi glanced at him.
Mr. Lu looked at the dark river and said leisurely: "It's just a coincidence, in Xia Lu Linchuan." ”
