Standing on the deck of the largest official ship, Su Yuanjing overlooked the north bank of the Yellow River with his hands in his hands, and said to Qiu Banjiang beside him: "This long trip has been delayed for a long time by waterway, and there is a lot of work to be offered. ”

Qiu Banjiang said with a smile: "Captain, if nothing else, there is still about an hour to go from the dock in Huazhou. ”

Su Yuanjing is a suave official, with a clothes rack-like figure, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, upright but not pedantic, and occasionally can talk to Song Huizong about the topic of Fengyue, belongs to the kind of person who can eat openly. Su Yuanjing was still frowning and said: "Song Jiang and Fang La's rebellion chose a good time, just so that the grain could not be harvested, they could collect grain at will, and the people would become disaster victims sooner or later." Once the starvation is everywhere and the victims are as many as one million, more people will gather to rebel, Cai Jing has not done anything good, except for the granary, which is a good thing in the world. ”

The wind was howling, Qiu Banjiang glanced at Su Yuanjing, and stopped talking; the faint outline of the lower beach pier could already be seen, and there were more fishing boats, passenger boats, and boats on the Yellow River, especially the boats upstream and downward, which were chopping waves and running like flying. When the boat approached the wharf, Qiu Banjiang turned his head to look at the river, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, and about 20 or so boats were blocked at the back of the fleet at once; in the Great Song Dynasty, ordinary civilian ships were afraid to hide from the official ships, and those who dared to come up must be extraordinary people.

The boats that came up were noisy, and there were archers and armor soldiers on each boat, and Qiu Banjiang shouted: "Who dares to intercept the ministers of the imperial court?"

On the front boat, a burly man shouted loudly in the crowd: "Song Jiang, a righteous man from Liangshan, is here to ask to see Captain Su." ”

Even if the masters of the official army had rushed to Su Yuanjing's surroundings, hearing Song Jiang's name, Su Yuanjing still felt that his feet were weak, but fortunately, a quick-witted guard supported Su Yuanjing; the two boats got closer and closer, and they could already see Song Jiang clearly, the thin figure, the eagle's face was a little pale, and under the sunlight, it was indescribably incongruous. Qiu Banjiang stared at Song Jiang and said, "Bold, Taiwei Su went to Xiyue to send incense by holy order. Song Jiang, what kind of person are you, you dare to say that you want to see the captain. ”

Song Jiang laughed and said: "Qiu Daxia, I know that your martial arts are world-famous and you can kill by land and water, but Song has no malicious intentions, he just temporarily invited the captain to the shore and has important matters to discuss." ”

Qiu Banjiang shouted: "Hugh wants to talk nonsense! Taiwei Su is an official of the imperial court, what is there to discuss with you?"

Song Jiang said in embarrassment: "Qiu Daxia, if the Taiwei refuses to meet, I am afraid that the dispute will start and the Taiwei will be injured by mistake." ”

A person behind Song Jiang called a flag, and the porters, officers and soldiers on the dock, and those who were on the boat rushed to the bow of the shore together, and they all mounted bows and arrows, Qiu Banjiang said with a smile: "Song Jiang, are you ready to cut off your own back road?"

Song Jiang bowed down and sang: "Qiu Daxia is serious, there are Su Taiwei and Qiu Daxia again, Song Jiang does not dare to make a mistake." ”

Su Yuanjing finally adjusted his mood and asked, "Song Jiang, since you claim to be a righteous man, why did you act like this and forcibly invite the ship to intercept? I will go to Xiyue today by holy order, what do I have to discuss with you, let alone go ashore." ”

Song Jiang said helplessly: "The captain refuses, he won't give us face." ”

Song Jiang spoke step by step, but he really didn't dare to come hard, Qiu Banjiang would never say that he was a martial artist, in case he hurt Su Yuanjing, many of the previous arrangements and hard work would be in vain. The hull of the official ship suddenly moved, and Qiu Banjiang mixed in with the Yellow River Gang, naturally knowing that this was Song Jiang's water ghost digging the boat at the bottom of the boat, once the hole was chiseled, the river water would flow into the bottom of the boat, and finally cause the hull to sink. Qiu Banjiang said sharply: "Song Jiang, you are also the number one person in the rivers and lakes, if you have anything, say it directly, so as not to delay everyone's time." ”

Qiu Banjiang gave in a step, and Song Jiang hurriedly said: "Taiwei Mingjian, Song Jiang has no intention of harming, so he has no choice but to gather in the mountains and forests, wait for the imperial court to recruit peace, and contribute to the country." Today, there is a brother who was captured by the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi and put in prison, Song Jiang just wanted to save him and ask the captain to go ashore, but there was no violation on the captain, but he was afraid that once the melee started, the sword would have no eyes. ”

Qiu Banjiang sneered and said: "If this is really your idea, why don't you wait for us to abandon the boat and go to Huashan, you directly take the boat and act, you want to drag the captain into the water, and use this to threaten you in the future." ”

Song Jiang had this thought, but on the surface, he would never admit it, if Su Yuanjing had an idea, even if Song Jiang succeeded in recruiting peace in the end, he would be regarded as an enemy in the court; Song Jiang smiled and said: "Qiu Daxia is wrong, it is not enough to have an official ship, I still need many people to teach the etiquette of the imperial court." ”

Taiwei Su was actually scared in his heart, and reluctantly said: "Song Jiang, if you accept Zhao'an just like this, I guarantee that your brothers in Huazhou City will enjoy the same glory and wealth as you." ”

Song Jiang was going to wait for the price to sell, but he could only prevaricate, just when the two sides were arguing, a small boat came from the wharf, and there was a middle-aged scribe standing at the bow of the boat, Qiu Banjiang knew all the people who stayed in Yuanjing, and it was Xie Shi who was known to return to Sichuan; Song Jiang knew that the rocker was a small leader under his own hands, and after thinking about it, he understood who it was, looked at Qiu Banjiang and said: "Since Qiu Daxia is worried, then let's listen to what Mr. Xie has to say." ”

Hearing Song Jiang say this, Su Yuanjing was relieved, nodded slightly, turned to Qiu Banjiang and said, "According to Yang Zhi's return, Xie Shi came to see Song Jiang with the documents of the Privy Council, if it can really be done today, it will be of great benefit to the country." ”

Not only is it good for the country, but it is also good for Su Yuanjing, loyal and unyielding, and decisive at the moment, these words are not what Su Yuanjing wants to say; Qiu Banjiang knew Su Yuanjing's thoughts, so he no longer held on, and immediately ordered someone to take Xie Shi on the boat. Song Jiang asked the four places to collect the bow and arrow weapons, and also ordered Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, to inform the water ghosts who were still in the Yellow River to suspend the scuttling of the boat and wait to see the development of the situation.

Xie Shi had seen Su Yuanjing, and let Su Yuanjing see the letter he was carrying, so he asked the boatman to put the gangplank and walk all the way to Song Jiang's boat; Song Jiang read the letter and said to Xie Shi: "Mr. Xie, this hand of the Privy Council is indeed beyond my expectations, it is not easy for you to do this, can you tell me, which one arranged for you?"

Before he came to Huazhou, he didn't know that the Privy Council had arranged for Xie Shi's layout, but he heard that Shi Jinxin had made a friend; now that he knew about it, Song Jiang's first thought was not to show his strength, but not to get involved in the battle of the Privy Council. This made Xie Shi appreciate it very much, and said lightly: "Lan Congxi." "Read the latest chapter of "Ironium Dragon's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
