The Jianghuai Plain is full of water networks.

When the prisoner truck arrived in this area, it was far less efficient to take the dry road than to take the water road.

Along the Jinghuai Canal all the way to the north, one is that people are not guilty of being down-to-earth on the boat, and the other is that this route is direct, and after ten days of getting off the boat, they will arrive at the Beijing Caoyun Wharf.

The only problem is that neither the exiled prisoners nor the prisoner vans awaiting trial are allowed to travel by water according to the Imperial Decree.

It is too easy for such a person to have less meaning in disciplining prisoners and warning the world.

But there was a nobleman in the palace of the Western Regions who came forward to intercede for Xia Yuntian.

So the little emperor of Yuqing, Chrysostom, allowed the head of the Xia family to go north by water.

This decree was rushed for 800 miles, and when it passed through the government office along the way and reached Zhao Zhisi, it happened to be in early June of this year.

The weather was just about to enter summer, and it was not very hot, so the Huaizhou government sent a building boat to pick up Xia Yuntian and his party.

If you ignore the fact that the head of the Xia family is wearing shackles and shackles on his hands and feet, with this scale of reception, others will think that this is Xia Yuntian's official worshipping the imperial court and going to Beijing to take up his post.

As soon as the person arrived on the boat, Chen Wenbing's mind stabilized.

Regarding the current turbulent situation of the Yuqing Dynasty, Chen Gongzi has not known much about singing and listening to operas in Wushan Town in recent years.

But since the emperor has made this kind of will, it means that Xia Yuntian has already reached the heavens to listen.

Therefore, Old Man Xia went north all the way, and it didn't matter what would happen to him when he arrived in the capital, at least on the way, the court didn't want him to have an accident.

Now the boats are sailing on the canal, the breeze is blowing, the wine is drinking, and there is a warship guarding each of them.

This is much better than a dozen people walking in the wilderness, with their heads pinned to the waistband of their trousers, and from time to time to prevent assassins from sneak attacks.

"Uncle, I'll fill it for you." Chen Wenbing picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Xia Yuntian, who was sitting opposite.

After arriving on the ship, Xia Yuntian, as a prisoner awaiting trial, was treated to a higher level.

The chains and shackles had been removed, and a pair of small shackles had been returned to both wrists, loose and lightweight.

After taking a shower, changing clothes, the original gray hair was combed neatly, and the spirit was much better, and it seemed that he had returned to the state of a rich man in the past.

The old man was in a good mood today, he had been drinking with Chen Wenbing for a while, his tongue was already big, and he said vaguely: "Virtuous nephew, don't just pour me wine, fill it yourself." ”

Chen Wenbing smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, godfather, I don't drink too much, and I drank too much and made a mistake." ”

When he arrived at the boat last night, Chen Dagongzi pushed Jinshan and poured the jade pillar, and knocked down three times, wanting to recognize Xia Yuntian as his father-in-law.

Zhao Zhisi's brothers are stupid.

Xia Yuntian was even more emotional, it has always been easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

He is guilty of a crime, and it is also a major crime of rebellion, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be connected with the nine clans.

At this time, Chen Wenbing recognized himself as a godfather, isn't this looking for death?

How can there be any reason to take the evil on one's body?

So the old man didn't agree, but Chen Wenbing didn't care, he had already called his father from today.

The old man looked at the young man in front of him with a stupid energy, and listened to the sound of "Dad" in his ears.

He was drinking for a while, and he only felt that the figure in front of him vaguely seemed to be his own son Xia Yan.

It's just that he is still sane, and he knows that he can't let go of his mouth and agree at this time, so he can only put tears in his eyes into the glass of wine, raise his head and drink it all.

After this glass of wine, Xia Yuntian muttered his son's name in his mouth, and fell asleep on the table.

Seeing this, Chen Wenbing gently moved the wine table to make room for the old man to lie flat, and then took off his coat to cover him.

After doing this, Chen Gongzi walked out of the cabin and came to the deck, stretching his waist.

At dusk, the sun sets over the long river, and the sunset fills the sky.

The green hills on both sides of the strait are blood-plated, and the egrets are flying together.

Since taking the pseudo-Yuan Dan, Chen Wenbing's realm has risen first and then fallen, and today there are only three early stages left.

This feeling of slow decline, if you slowly experience it in Wushan Town, you must drive yourself crazy.

Fortunately, he is out on errands now.

The scene between heaven and earth, the father of his friend and brother, one supported him, and the other pulled him, making his mood more and more complete.

The world is vast, and the world is impermanent.

But do good deeds, don't ask about the future.

……

Dafeng Village is the largest water thief cottage in the Jianghuai region.

Located on a low hill at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, it can be said that it relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water.

However, in the fifty years of the Yuqing Dynasty, all walks of life have a stable set of rules, and the same is true for robbery.

Subdivided into the robbery of rivers, lakes and seas, it is even more of a technical work.

The ability on the body is still secondary, the key is to make the moves brighter, and you have to see through who the other party is at a glance.

For example, those big boats on the canal must be restrained, no matter how rich people are, they can't rob them.

The canal is the most important passage for Cao Yun, which is related to the food security of Beijing.

Once the water thieves robbed the boat, it was a stabbing of the sky, and the government encircled and suppressed it.

The canal can't be moved, if you want to grab those natural waters, and you can't dry up and fish, you have to leave profit margins, otherwise people won't go here in the future.

Even after the deed is completed, it has to be sent out of the country to prevent the ship from being patronized by other pirates in its own territory.

In this way, the business has changed from a bandit to a businessman.

Just collect money on the road, be polite, and don't shout and kill.

Dafeng Village belongs to this kind of village, which has been replaced by a successful cottage for the major transformation of the enterprise.

The leader is called Li Erfeng, with a dark complexion and excellent water nature, and the rivers and lakes are nicknamed "Langli Wuguang".

There are more than 300 water thieves under his hands, and the skills of these water thieves on the shore are all sparse, and they have great magical powers in the water.

It's just that the industry is good at diligence and frolic, and no matter how good the water nature is, it is also practiced in ordinary times.

At dusk that day, there were two large water tanks in the open space in front of the cottage, comparing the ability to hold their breath underwater.

Li Erfeng personally went down to prove once again why he was the leader of the cottage.

The kid who dared to challenge himself was named Wang Gouyu, his complexion was also quite dark, his nickname was Black Fish Egg, the second leader of the cottage, and Li Erfeng knew what level he was holding his breath.

It was originally a little worse than himself, but in the past few days, he has got a wife who has been pressed.

The little lady was white-skinned and beautiful, she fell into the water in the lake and was rescued by the people in the cottage, and she was a rich businessman and concubine, who was not bullied by the eldest woman in the family, and secretly ran out.

Li Erfeng liked this woman more and more, so he simply did the marriage that night, and it was a night cave room these days.

Things are too busy at night, and the body and bones are naturally poor, and the state is not as good as usual, so Li Erfeng doesn't dare to be careless.

The rule in the cottage is that the strong is king, and if he loses, then the lady of the village may not be his own.

Even Li Erfeng thinks that Wang Gouyu dares to challenge himself today, and he is coming to the lady of the village who he just gets.

When he was drinking the night before, the way this kid looked at his wife, it wasn't quite right.

Dare to covet your sister-in-law, wait, wait until I win and you serve the public, and then find an excuse to get rid of your kid to prevent future troubles.

At this moment, Li Erfeng was squatting in a tank full of water, pinching his nose with his hand, and silently counting in his heart.

The two had also tried before, and Li Erfeng knew that as long as he counted to a thousand, he would definitely win.

Wang Gou's remaining level is only eight hundred, and he can be rich by two hundred, as long as he does not underestimate the enemy, he is very stable.

Today's state is indeed not as good as in the past, this has just counted to seven hundred, and my heart is panicked, as if someone is beating me in the chest with a hammer, and my chest is tight and short of breath.

Grit your teeth and hold on.

Li Erfeng was squatting in the water tank, unable to see or hear anything, so he counted silently in his heart, gritting his teeth and trying his best to survive.

finally survived to eight hundred and fifty, Li Erfeng felt that his eyes were black, his heart seemed to be roasted with fire, and his consciousness began to blur.

Come on, so be it.

As soon as Li Erfeng thought of this, he couldn't wait to stand up.

At this time, a white and tender palm reached into the water and gently rested on his shoulder.

Li Erfeng's martial arts cultivation in the early stage of the day after tomorrow, with the strength of kicking a thousand catties with his legs, he was pressed on his shoulder by this palm, and he couldn't stand up.

Death grabbed him by the throat in an instant, and he began to struggle desperately.

The water tank is full of water, and the fists and feet are blocked by the water, and the four walls of the water tank cannot be smashed, and the smashing cannot be broken, only making a muffled sound of "bang".

And the hand on his shoulder, he couldn't even notice it, he just felt that he couldn't stand up for some reason.

The movement became smaller and smaller, and the consciousness became more and more blurred.

All the resentments before death melted into this vat of water.

In the open space of the cottage, the water thieves around him didn't dare to move when they saw the woman who put her hand into the water tank and choked the leader to death.

Because just now, this lady walked out of the cottage and first killed the king dog in the water tank next door.

The second leader with the strongest kung fu on the shore in the cottage died in front of the big boss with the strongest kung fu in the water.

When there was no movement in this water tank, the white and beautiful woman pulled out her hand and shook the water in her hand.

Then she turned around, faced the gate of the cottage, fell to her knees with her skirt, fell to the ground with her whole body prostrate, and shouted:

"Disciple Cheng Biluo, welcome the master."

As soon as the words fell, the water thieves only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and a person appeared out of thin air at the gate of the cottage.

The man's hair was already gray, but his face looked to be twenty at most, with red lips and white teeth, and broad eyebrows.

He was dressed in a gray robe with an expressionless face, and said lightly: "It's useless, it's just a copycat for you to subdue, it took so long." ”

Cheng Biluo, who was prostrate on the ground, trembled slightly, then raised his head and glanced at the surrounding water thieves.

Mrs. Zhai's peach blossom eyes, which had been looking at Li Erfeng with affection a few days ago, squinted at this moment, and the murderous intention was revealed.

The water thieves present felt stung by the poisonous bee's tail.

Although these people are not able to endure on the shore, they have good eyesight and active brains.

In the current situation, it is a matter of who kneels faster.

In the blink of an eye, the group of people fell to their knees, and their mouths cried out in unison:

"Subordinates welcome the new village master!"
