The big ship was indeed extremely fast, and with the sound of the sailors' trumpets, everyone rowed together and rode the wind and waves to the opposite shore.

Xiahou Ba and the three of them grabbed the side of the boat, and watched as the fishing boats were all overturned by the wind and waves, the boatman struggled and screamed in the water, and Zhang Wei didn't know where he was.

Before the boat arrived at the dock, Xiahou Nan couldn't wait to jump ashore, pointed at the boatman and shouted: "Go and get those furniture up, there will be a reward." ”

The boatman was embarrassed: "On nine cold days, it is easy to cramp when you go into the water, and the wind and waves are strong, and if you are not careful, you will die." ”

"I'll give the money!" Xiahou Nan was worried about the gold, and shouted: "Scoop it up and give you a piece of gold." ”

"Even if you give a boatload of gold, you have to have a life flower!" The boatman just shook his head helplessly.

Xiahou Ba asked everyone to get off the boat quickly, hugged his fists and said: "Those boatmen are really pitiful, they drove the boat to save people quickly." ”

"The little one will go and save people first, as for the things, how much can be fished!" The boatman turned the bow of the boat and went to save the man.

"Gold, my gold!" Xiahou Nan squatted on the shore and beat his chest.

Xiahouba's face was also sinking like water, his face was very ugly, if he couldn't take the gold, it would be fine, but he got it and fell into the river, which made him even more uncomfortable.

Cao Tai smiled bitterly and said: "The credit in hand is ...... in the water."

"Sword, what about the Qingyu Sword?" Xiahou Nan suddenly jumped up and grabbed Cao Tai's collar: "There is no gold, how to explain to the prime minister, you say!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Cao Tai was furious, pushed Xiahou Nan away, and said in a deep voice: "This plan was decided by the three of us, why did you hold me back?" ”

"You came up with the idea!" Xiahou Nan's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily: "You said that everything is foolproof, it's all your fault!" ”

"Blame me?" Cao Tai also showed no weakness: "If you didn't go to the Qinglou to mess around, how could there be such a thing?" ”

"You don't have to argue!" Xiahou Ba persuaded the two of them, and said helplessly: "Two million dollars is by no means a small amount, and the three of us have no power to redeem the Qingyu Sword, only ...... Explain to the prime minister according to the truth. ”

In the Battle of Nanyang, Cao Cao concentrated the power of the original to raise a ransom of three million, and the Cao family and the Xiahou clan even poured out their wealth.

This time I bought furniture, and all the valuable things such as jade pendants I carried were gone, and I still owed Liu Qi two million dollars.

The IOU and the Qingyu Sword are both in Xiangyang, and now the gold is sinking into the river, and this huge amount of money is beyond the scope of the three of them.

"The prime minister will kill me!" Xiahou Nan sat on the stone with a crying voice, holding his head in great pain.

After a short time the big boat returned, and rescued seven or eight boatmen, all of whom were so cold that their lips were purple and shivering, and all the things on board sank, and only five waterbeds, two tables, and four benches were recovered.

Looking at the wet goods, the three of them looked blank, and there was no need to ask, the table and waterbed containing gold had already sunk to the bottom of the river.

Xiahou Ba took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and asked the boatman to question, but he didn't see Zhang Wei among them, but he was afraid that he would be more than lucky.

"Spring dreams, autumn farts, in the end are all empty!"

Seeing that the three of them were stunned, the boatman sighed and persuaded with good words: "On the Han River, I don't know how many caravans sink every year, but as long as people live, it is a fortunate thing, and the right to spend money to eliminate disasters, some people have to come back to pay tribute to the dragon king, thank you for not receiving the grace, the three sons are fortunate to have no big trouble, the road ahead is still long, to see some open." ”

"Spending money on disasters?" Xiahou Ba was stunned, thinking that Zhang Wei died in the river, he was indeed a little lucky, but when he thought of two million dollars, he smiled bitterly: "The lives of the three of us are not worth these money." ”

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Cao Tai patted Xiahou Ba's shoulder: "God destined you and I should not have this credit, and I will bear this matter together." ”

Xiahou Ba took a deep breath, thanked the boatman, and saw that those tables and chairs were soaked in water and were useless, so he gave them to them, leaving only five waterbeds.

Looking back at the people, the people who still came, couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing, sure enough, as the old man said, this trip to Xiangyang is really like a dream, empty joy.

Just as he was instructing everyone to pack up and hurry, Xiahou Nan came over with red eyes and said, "I have a plan to avoid the prime minister's punishment." ”

Xiahou Ba was a little unconvinced: "Can my brother hide it from the prime minister?" ”

Xiahou Nan snorted slightly, and said slowly: "Zhang Wei is dead, the gold is Shenjiang, there is no proof of all death, and only the three of me know about the pledge of the Qingyu Sword, so I will say...... Let's just say that the river is in distress, and the Qingyu Sword also accidentally sank into the river......"

"Phew! Look for death! Before the words fell, Xiahou Ba interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "The three of us have made meritorious contributions and made a big mistake, if it is reported according to the truth, the prime minister may be able to open the net." If you lie to him again, the sin will be one more degree, and ten heads will not be enough to cut off! ”

Xiahou Nan was unconvinced and said: "As long as the three of us don't say it, who knows about it?" ”

Cao Tai sneered on the side: "Liu Qi's kid loves money like life, do you think he won't come to ask for an account?" If one day he takes out the Qingyu Sword, how can he explain it to the prime minister? ”

"This ......" Xiahou Nan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "The prime minister blames it, and you also have a share." ”

Xiahou Ba frowned and said: "The prime minister may not kill because of a sword, I am only worried that I owe Liu Qi a huge amount of money, if I can't pay it back, the three of us will be ashamed of the world, and I don't believe in my words, this is not the work of the big husband!" ”

Cao Tai sneered: "Someone bought a concubine in a private house in Xiangyang, and it was quite gained, and the two of us lost all their money, and they had to be infamous on their backs, what a broom star." ”

Xiahou Nan said angrily: "Cao Ziming, it's all your bad idea, and now you want to spew blood? ”

"No more noise!" Xiahou said domineeringly: "This matter is borne by the three of us together, as long as we sincerely admit our guilt, not to look at the face of our parents, but also to look at the feelings of the same clan, and to make meritorious contributions in the future." ”

Xiahou Nan looked at the waterbeds, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and shouted: "I have a way to make money, and I will definitely pay off this account." ”

Cao Tai pouted: "You can only spend money, how can you know how to make money?" ”

"Hmph, we'll see!" Xiahou Nan suddenly regained his spirit and said proudly: "If I repay this arrears, what will happen to you?" ”

Cao Tai has always looked down on Xiahou Nan for his cowardice, and sneered: "This money was originally borrowed by the three of me together, if you pay it back, I will owe you a favor, and I am willing to listen to you call it in the future." ”

"If I can't pay it back, this account will be on my head!" Xiahou Nan patted his chest and stretched out his little finger to Cao Tai: "Pull the hook is fixed!" ”

"Children's tricks!" Cao Tai said disdainfully: "A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, and Zhongquan can prove it." ”

Xiahou Ba was extremely depressed in his heart, and waved his hand weakly: "Okay, let's go on the road!" ”

The entourage carried the waterbed on their backs, and the group rushed to Fancheng, where their horses were left in the pavilion and someone took care of them.

Xiahou Nan touched the waterbed and muttered: "The prime minister is a few girls, I hope these beds can satisfy him." ”

Cao Tai asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing!" Xiahou Nan hurriedly said: "I said that the prime minister works day and night, but fortunately, there is this waterbed to relieve the fatigue." ”

Cao Tai wrote to Xiahou Nan: "You'd better talk about state affairs." ”
