Chapter 16: Pitiful

"But how?" Han is a little worried.

"Captain Wei, let's go straight over. The six of us are all sixteen-oared fast ships, and under one trumpet, thousands of oars are competing, and their ships are strong and strong, how can they catch up with us? ”

The one who spoke was one of Han Kuang's subordinates, also surnamed Han, known as "Xiao Han", a member of the Han Kuang clan, who had practiced sword fighting with him since he was a child, and had a martial arts bravery.

But as soon as his words fell, he was stopped by another man wrapped in green silk:

"Xiao Han's words are wrong, yesterday the bandits sneak attack, although we did not suffer much damage, but the other tribute ships have suffered a lot of damage, this ship is afraid that it will not be happy. Moreover, our tribute ship has a heavy draft, even if it is shaken with all its might, it is estimated that it will not be able to run. ”

Xiao Hanhua was robbed, annoyed and angry, and reprimanded:

"You cuckold slave, how dare you despise me, you say that a certain knife is not good? Roll"

The young man is also a member of the guard, but because of his lowly status, he has always been despised by the people in the guard.

He kindly mentioned it, but was humiliated by Xiao Han, and his face turned pale for a while.

Xiao Han didn't look at the green man, and only continued to Han Qian:

"Chief Wei, let's be a young man, but don't we have two boats, let's ask for people, won't this man be enough?

Besides, if the draft is heavy, then simply sink the two boats into the river, and such a big boat can't chase after it, and what can the small bucket boat do?

Do it, Captain Guard! ”

Han Jing was silent, rubbing his beard and thinking. Thinking of that unruly figure, I made a decision:

"Okay, then do it, you are responsible for this. You go with Yang Mao, one person leads a team, and is responsible for a boat. When we get to the Cheng clan, I'll go down and deal with them first, and you can get it quickly. Do it pretty. ”

In this way, Sun Tingchang and others did not know about it, and they became victims of the eunuch's confrontation with the party.

Pathetic, lamentable.

——————————————————————

Roughly by the next evening, the fleet arrived at Chengshi.

Zhang Chong and they have eaten two rounds of corn, and Sun Tingchang is still in a hurry there.

I have been talking about what to worship when I go out to worship the Taoist god is not effective at all, and I have a nightmare at night when I go out, and my wife's loom is broken.

In short, there is just one meaning, this lying is poor, and he regrets coming.

Zhang Chong didn't feel good, he originally wanted to get to know a few more people and see more through this trip.

But who would have expected to meet the water cowards. Now he doesn't know what the next step will be?

It's a bad feeling that this fate is not in control.

There is another person who has been trembling since he started the boat, and that is Ding Sheng, a conceited ranger.

Since he saw that Li Jin, it was this virtue, and no one knew why.

Zhang Dan asked, but he didn't answer, he just looked at Zhang Chong vigorously, but he looked at Zhang Chong as Mao.

He grabbed Ding Sheng and shouted:

"What kind of girly gesture, if you have something, hurry up."

Zhang Chong's roar brought Ding Sheng back to his senses.

He saw that the fleet had arrived at Chengshi, and that the ships were ready to drop anchor in turn.

He immediately accelerated his tone and whispered to Zhang Chong:

"Then the king of Jibei has a grudge against this Li family, I think there will be a fight on this shore, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Chong was shocked when he heard this, he didn't ask Ding Sheng why he came to this conclusion.

Because, he himself vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He found that the four tribute ships of the King of Jibei had surrounded the two boats of their Jinan Kingdom, and the warriors on the ships were still not staring at him and the others.

He knew that something must be wrong, but he didn't expect that it would be those two groups of people who had a grudge.

As for what kind of hatred, he can't care about it, he has to think of a way to deal with it quickly.

He found Pavilion Chief Sun and gave a general explanation of the situation. Sun Tingchang didn't panic, he pondered for a while, and first called Zhang Dan to run another boat, go and call Zhou Tingchang, who led the team, and discuss the two boats together.

After a while, the pavilion chief Zhou stepped on the hanging board and came over.

This week, the pavilion chief is much more neat than Lao Sun, more than thirty, and he is also strong.

After he came, he greeted Lao Sun for a while and talked about things directly.

"Lao Sun, I know you, I have always seen opportunities quickly, and I heard that you were the most alert in the army before.

If you hadn't mentioned it this time, I didn't know there would be such a big disaster? You say what to do later. ”

Sun Xun waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to say more. He first asked:

"How many of you still have it, do you add up the speed of the ship?"

Zhou Tingchang's face darkened:

"When we set out, there were fifty-three men with us. After last night, there were only fourteen people who could still move, and there were twelve minor and serious injuries left, and the rest were gone. Hey, this damn world. ”

Sun Xun was taken aback when he heard this, he never expected their loss rate to be so high.

However, fortunately, to drive the boat, there are enough people.

He thought for a moment:

"Lao Zhou, that's what I think. After a while, let's go down first, no matter what the surname Han is, let's be honest.

After all, it's a boat, and those inspections don't dare to do anything to us. At most, it will delay for some time, and this time we will earn less, and we will not stop all the way, and go straight to Xingyang. I guess there's still enough time.

Don't be dissatisfied, compared to the people who died last night, we are still alive after all.

I figured it out, nothing is more important than getting home safely. Do you think that's right? ”

"Yes, yes, you have a safe way. When the baby came before, he couldn't tell clearly. If you don't say that King Jiyang's people want to fight with the Li family, we need to prepare early.

I was stunned by what I said.

Who are we, unpopular officials, who can mix in this? What can we prepare?

Or your grandson said it properly, let's go first, and when the time comes, we can do whatever we want, after all, we are all public people, what can we do. ”

Saying that, this Lao Zhou also gave Lao Sun a great comparison.

The matter was so discussed, regardless of the tribute ship of the king of Jiyang, go down to the ground first.

Zhang Chong and they don't have a good way, they can't escape alone, they can't escape, they can only improvise.

In this way, the fleet, under the guidance of Li Jin's patrol ships, arrived at a port.

According to Lao Sun's intentions, everyone got off the boat first.

Cao Chuan cooperated so much, but Li Jin and the others were stunned, but they didn't think much about it, so they arranged for someone to lead them.

But Lao Sun's hand directly put Han Guo and them there.

They don't dare to go down, and if they run, they lack manpower and can't run.

Especially Xiao Han, who dragged Han in a row:

"Wei Chang, this is obviously a military port, so Li Jin took us here directly instead of going to the county office, it is obviously a poor dagger, this ship, we can't get off."

"Then Li Jin is the river patrolman, if you don't bring us here, where else can you take us. I think Xiao Han is scared and suspicious. "It's still the green man, and a sentence came out leisurely.

Xiao Han was angry, and when the knife was pulled out, he was about to cut him, but he was stopped by everyone.

Up to now, Han Guo could only sigh:

"Let's get off the boat. Look at this surnamed Li, how many people have the courage to draw their swords in front of me, a 400-stone person. With that, he disembarked with the guards.

Only Xiao Han stomped his feet hatefully, looked at the green man with hatred, and finally got off the boat helplessly.

Zhang Dan followed Sun Xun, Zhang Chong and others, and Yuguan entered Li Jin's village.

This is a typical township inspection water village, the place is not big, but the stable, pasture, barracks, wood are also complete, along the way Zhang Chong looked east and west.

Sergeants with scarves were constantly seen cutting horse grass from the nearby swamps and returning to the camp at sunset.

Zhang Chong and Sun Xun and the heads of several other ships were led into a large tent alone, while the others were arranged to other places, where there would be large vats of wheat and rice to eat.

Zhang Chong secretly hinted to Du Man and his little father to let them pay more attention, and he always felt a little uneasy.

They nodded seriously, and after that, Zhang Chong followed into the big tent.

In the big tent, huge butter candles have already been lit, and there are constantly sergeants shuttling, or carrying wine, or carrying fat pigs.

In short, it looks like a big feast.

This will, Han Guo and they will also be brought in.

There were twenty of them, all of them samurai on the tribute ships. It was different from what Zhang Chong saw on the boat.

At this time, Han Guo was dressed as an elite warrior, wearing a flat scarf, two crotch armor, and a fighting sword in his hand, looking at everyone like a slave.

The samurai behind him were also in leather armor, and the ring-headed sword was carried on the right shoulder, and although the sword was not unsheathed, it was already murderous.

They first looked at Li Jin, who was sitting on the Hu bed.

He still looked sickly, with a brazier at his feet, and then wrapped in the big hey, and the whole body was sick.

Although Li Dian and other clansmen and guests also held stuffy sticks, with ring knives hanging from their waists, they also looked like martial artists, but compared with Han Guan, they were not half a point.

Looking at Li Jin's nest, Xiao Han in the Han situation team couldn't help but snort.

Li Jin ignored it, he used the ring head knife and dialed the brazier to make the flame a little bigger. Then he looked around, and saw that all the people were almost all there, and said casually:

"You all have the heavy responsibility of transporting grain and tribute, and you shouldn't have stayed here.

But after all, we have to find out about the loot last night, otherwise whoever asks, I can't explain it as a river patrolman.

That's why I had to keep you.

But don't worry, although my Chengshi Li is not a hero in the sea, he is also particular about doing things. Friends, there is naturally wine, and please do not dislike the farmhouse slurry. ”

After speaking, he clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to take their seats.

Sun Xun, Lao Zhou and others naturally sat down honestly, kneeling on the straw mat, trembling.

And Han Jing and the others didn't move, and looked at each other.

It was still that Xiao Han who stepped forward and said contemptuously:

"The surname is Li, and you don't have to do this with your grandfathers. This drink is what you want to respect, but it also depends on whether the grandfathers drink it or not?

Don't do nonsense, just play any tricks, I'll also see how this tiger in Jishui has become a sick cat. ”

With a "bang", a wine lord smashed into the corner of Xiao Han's eye, directly hitting him with blood.

After Li Jin shook off the wine, he spat on the ground and reprimanded:

"What kind of gelding, I thought it was eggless, but I didn't expect it to be pickled, stinky fish and rotten shrimp."

Seeing that Han Guo and everyone had already drawn their knives in their hands, he said disdainfully:

"Ye has always been kind-hearted, and he can't see poor people alone. So I can only watch it with everyone. ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands.

Then there was a two-part trilogy, dragging out a bloody man with hair from behind the screen, and leading all the way to Li Jin's bed.

Han Jing and the others were all taken aback when they saw this person.
