Chapter 14: Li Jin
The captain who was keeping vigil on the deck was still dead, his mouth open, and his neck was wiped by the scoundrels.
He was a good man, born to be a ship, and a servant of the government, rarely went ashore, and did not have a daughter-in-law.
In the past, everyone bragged about women, although he didn't speak, but he always smiled happily.
It wasn't his vigil this time, but the man always slept to death, and he didn't feel at ease, so he came to keep vigil himself.
Unexpectedly, this good man died like this.
In this world, good people don't live long.
At this time, everyone was burying him, changing him into clean clothes, wrapping him in a mat, and tying him with ballast stones and sinking into Junozawa, which was the best place for the people on their ship.
If the captain can know everything, he will be very happy, because the clothes he changed for him are the ones he has never worn in his life.
Ay......
The man who was on duty was crying there, and he didn't know what kind of emotion it was.
Because, if it wasn't for the captain who stood up to him tonight, then he might be the one who died tonight.
But he also felt that his father-in-law had died unjustly, and he had died for himself.
I couldn't figure it out, so I just cried.
The atmosphere on the ship was a little solemn, and the rescued Pungfu was like a lost soul, paralyzed on the deck and refused to move.
Some people say that they occupy the position of the people behind, and they still refuse to move. There was no way, the man could only stack the newly caught ones on top of him.
But even so, the one who was suppressed was only scolded:
"Hot girl!" He lay still.
From those who still have spirit, they piece things together one after another.
Things are pretty much the same as Du Man thought.
There are indeed internal thieves, and there are not one or two, but all ships.
Some people say:
"At that time, we were all resting, and when the bandits came up, we were blocked in the warehouse.
Later, we rushed up with a bloody head, and then swept around with a pole and forced the water to go.
But he was pressed by the traitor who came up from the warehouse, and he was directly cut off by Shui Kou, which made him howl in pain, and when he was tired, he wiped his neck.
When we saw the opportunity, we jumped ship first before we escaped for our lives. ”
The survivors of several other boats also said their own situations, and they were all similar, they were subdued by the water cowards and the traitors.
Things are very strange, how these water cowards are connected with the servants of Le'an County, Qingzhou.
This water bandit in Onozawa has so much energy?
Zhang Chong was still thinking.
At this time, Ding Sheng, who had been clutching the ring head knife and followed Zhang Chong, spoke:
"Brother Chong, I see that other ships are still fighting, or we can go over and kill him."
This Ding Sheng was frightened by Zhang Chong.
Good boy, so you can cut it? You killed four water bandits in the blink of an eye, are you really the son of a farmer? Why are you more ranger than me?
But Ding Sheng refused to admit defeat, and when he saw that other ships were still fighting, he wanted to let Zhang Chong take him over to prove his dignity as a ranger.
Of course, it must be taken with Zhang Chong, and he can't go up alone.
Zhang Chong was thinking about something, and when he heard someone talking, he said "um", and when he reacted, he grabbed Ding Sheng, who was about to play a majestic role.
"The black light is blinding, and everyone is killed again. Let's go up and be cut down as a water bandit.
And can you kill it, or can I cut it? Let's go up two, in case we rush into the crowded, then don't die?
So it's better to be calm. Wait for dawn. ”
Seeing that Zhang Chong didn't go, Ding Sheng didn't dare to go alone, so he could only do it abruptly.
It seems that only next time I can prove my Ranger dignity.
In this way, everyone huddled on the deck and watched the fight continue.
From time to time, ships went south, and from time to time, boats stopped fighting and turned off their lights.
Like Zhang Chong and them, there are many lights, and those who salvage the water have become a minority.
The boats that went down the river also saw Zhang Chong and them. After shouting twice, seeing that Zhang Chong and them were unmoved, they drove away.
Sure enough, these gangs of water cowards are interested in money, and their offensive intentions are not strong.
In this way, everyone stared red and stayed up until dawn. And Sun Xun is too old to stay up, so he has already rested.
When the sky dawned, everyone knew how easy it was to kill last night.
At this time, there were still six ships still staying in Juyeze, four Jibei tribute ships, and two Jinan ships.
Seven boats were on fire, emitting black smoke.
Seeing these seven huge beacon fires, it is estimated that the pavilion chief of the nearby anti-theft will come.
When the day dawned, the surviving boats all approached each other.
What Jibeiguo meant was to call a few pavilion chiefs and boat leaders to come to the boat and discuss together what to do later.
Sun Xun was a little worried, who knows if there are thieves or people on the tribute ship in the northern kingdom of Jibei?
In case he is a thief, if he goes, isn't he a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
Later, Zhang Chong suggested that the remaining six ships be connected with wooden planks.
When the time comes, if there is really anything, he can also take Sun Xun back to kill.
Hearing this, Sun Xun was at ease, and he was now 100% at ease with Shi Cub.
This is really fierce!
Sure enough, hearing Sun Xun's proposal, several other ships also applauded, and the tribute ships from the northern country of Jiji didn't say anything.
In this way, the six ships joined together to form a floating island in this giant nozawa.
————————————————————————————————
Zhang Chong escorted Sun Xun to board the tribute ship of Jibei Kingdom, and what he saw was a man with a window above his head:
"Swordsmanship, proficient."
This is a warrior with a skin on his head, with a dark face, red phoenix eyes, thin lips, and a group of samurai behind him, each showing "swordsmanship, familiar".
When he saw the pavilion chiefs coming up, he hugged his fists, mainly to Sun Xun and another pavilion chief of Jinan Kingdom.
The other three Jibei ship's captains were obviously his men, and they gathered behind him when they got on the boat.
"A certain family is the chief guard of Jibei Kingdom, Han ......"
Before this person's name was reported, Zhang Chong saw that Sun Xun and another pavilion chief had already bowed down.
Sun Xun saw that Zhang Chong was still standing stupidly, and even gave him a look.
Zhang Chong didn't see it, don't think about me kneeling.
The chief guard surnamed Han was accustomed to being bowed by others, and when he saw that the head of the cloth was still there, he only thought that he was a countryman, and he didn't know etiquette, so he simply didn't care.
He continued:
"Last night, a certain family led the guards to kill the bandits, but after all, the strength was weak, and the rescue could not be as good as the friendly boat.
In addition, it is dark and the hydrology is unknown, so the ship may be capsized rashly.
Therefore, as soon as the day dawns, a certain family will call everyone to come over, and everyone will discuss it.
A certain family thinks so, you are a boat, and a certain family is a tribute boat.
Although the end point is different, it is always the way.
The court has strict laws, you are guilty of default, and a certain family is also responsible for violating the rules.
Therefore, a certain family thinks that this ship still has to work, and when it comes to Chengshi, we can follow the intelligence officer and let the people of Jiyin County investigate this matter. Do you think it's okay? ”
said that it was a discussion, but this person had already said a way, so how dare the two?
So, things are so happy that they are decided.
Just as everyone was about to leave, the captain of the Han guard squeaked again:
"Last night, I counted the lights, and I thought the loss should not be so big.
When the day dawned, I realized that someone had multiple lights last night, pretending to be suspicious. This is what kind of hero came up with it. ”
Sun Xun knelt down and answered:
"Rong subordinate Sun Xunyu, last night, it was the servant who was the head of the ship, and the ministers put more torches to make a statement. Last night's fighting, thanks to his courage and sacrifice, the servant was saved. ”
Zhang Chong hugged his fists, but he didn't dare.
The head of the Han guard looked at Zhang Chong, only thinking that he was rebellious. There was no interest in talking, and he reluctantly boasted:
"Good boy", he signaled everyone to disperse.
As soon as Sun Xun and Zhang Chong returned to their boat, they couldn't help but complain:
"Second son, what's the matter with you. Blind to you, can't you see?
Do you think that Captain Han is a fighting official like me? The official body of the family is serious, and the rank is more than 400 stones.
You must know that our Licheng County is so big, with tens of thousands of mouths, and its county order is no more than a thousand stones, and there are few people in the entire Licheng who can put a score in front of him.
You are a bushman, why is the spectrum so big? ”
Seeing that Sun Xun was getting more and more excited, Zhang Chong hurriedly begged for mercy, and started another conversation, diverging this paragraph:
"Sun Tou, didn't you notice? The samurai around the captain of the Han guard are very extraordinary, and they are obviously all soldiers in the battle array.
Why did they all come here to carry tribute ships? Do you want to value it that way? ”
This topic was scratching Sun Xun's heart, and he also felt strange.
Although he is not known for his martial arts and bravery, and he is also laughed at as "Grandma Sun", he came out of the army in the end, and his eyesight is still there.
He also found that those warriors, sturdy and strong, with a cold temperament, were obviously elite soldiers.
This generation of King Jibei, he has never heard of it.
However, the previous king of Jibei was very famous, and the imperial court issued an edict at that time, so that the world could learn from the king of Jibei and learn from him to be filial piety and purity.
It seems that it has to be the old Liu family, even if it is an outdated prince, there are still so many heroes and heroes who sacrifice their lives.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the stone cub again, and heyed:
"Don't interrupt, I can see your careful thinking? However, you, a bushman who has never been a soldier, also have such knowledge, maybe you are really a general.
However, it didn't work. Your grandfather and I, after all, are still a country tyrant, and there is no shortage of copper skewers to make some connections, so I can't make a name for myself in the army.
If you are conceited and heroic, you think that you are a hero who is an enemy of ten people or an enemy of a hundred people, and you want to make a name for yourself but take it immediately, you want to win a wife and a son.
I persuaded it or not.
If you go, you will fill the ravines and cushion the life of the knife head. Are there fewer good men in the army? If you don't just mumbble, it's gone. ”
After speaking, Xu is recalled and sighed again.
patted Zhang Chong, Sun Xun didn't say anything.
Zhang Chong's belly:
"Is the atmosphere so awkward? I didn't want to be a soldier! You can't toss it so much with a gold finger. ”
Look at Sun Xun as if he is good for you.
Zhang Chong is both funny and a little warm.
After returning to the ship, Sun Xun told everyone about the results of the discussion, and asked the Bangfu to get out of the cabin and continue to rock.
Originally, Zhang Chong was going to go down. But everyone saw that he was working hard last night, and one of the bangfu volunteered to do it for him.
This person is the man who was supposed to keep vigil last night, but let his captain die.
Zhang Chong also felt that during this time, he should be responsible for the whole ship on the deck, so he simply agreed.
It didn't take long for the six boats to rock.
Suddenly, a team of walkers, led by a rush, cleaved the waves and ran rampant.
The ship rushed up and hung a "Li" flag high.
Seeing this flag, the tribute ship where the chief Han guard was also raised its flag.
A book "King of Jibei" and a book of "Han" flags are waved at the oncoming ship.
Ding Sheng's eyes were good, and when he saw the person standing on the bow of the ship opposite, he exclaimed:
"It turned out to be Li Jin."
"He's Li Jin?"
