Volume 1 This is not a reckless person in the rivers and lakes Chapter 42 Several boats
"In that case, please lead the way!" Liu Lao Wu said as he looked at the extremely ordinary wooden house above the slope. But the horseman looked embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again: "I am a horseman, how can I be qualified to meet the master of Yanrudder." Fifth Master Liu only needs to walk up this step. With that, he turned and drove away.
Liu Lao Wu was helpless, so he had to limp and limp on the steps with difficulty, in exchange for when he was not injured before, these steps could be climbed without a moment of effort, but now the former glory was destroyed by that Pei Jingnian, which made him more and more depressed. When I finally climbed the last step, I was already sweating, my clothes were soaked, and my limbs were limp and collapsed in front of the door of the wooden house.
Raising his eyebrows, he was meeting the eyes of the guard disciples at the door, and the two disciples hurriedly asked, "But what about Liu Wuye on the Qinling River?" "It's Lao Tzu!" Liu Lao Wuqiang sat up with his body propped up, although he was out of breath, he still refused to lose face. Unexpectedly, the two disciples looked at each other and smiled, then stepped forward and put up his two arms, dragged Liu Lao Wu and turned around and entered the wooden house.
As soon as I entered the house, I felt a chill coming from all directions. The two disciples threw Liu Lao Wu into the hall, then turned around and left, without any hospitality. Liu Lao Wu looked around and saw that there were only a few residual lights in the dim hall, and the dim lights were flickering, reflecting the eighteen weapons hanging on the wall, and they were still faintly emitting cold light, and some blades were still stained with a little blood, which was extremely terrifying.
On both sides of the hall stood the eight cadres of the Jiangnan rudder, all wearing different forms of armor, quite a general's style. And in the middle of the lobby is the throne of the helmsman, the chair is covered with mink feathers, and on the platform on the side is a majestic golden scimitar, the whole body is made of pure gold, extremely dazzling, and the side of the golden knife also reflects Liu Lao Wu's shocked face.
After the chair, there is a picture of whale sharks swallowing rivers and seas, and on both sides are couplets with black background deficits, which are written: "Shocking clouds and flying sand break through the rivers and seas, turning the world upside down and shaking rivers and lakes." There is a large golden plaque hanging on it, and the three golden characters of "Whale Shark Gang" shine above the head.
In fact, the Whale Shark Gang is not short of money, it has been on rivers, lakes and seas for many years, and its biggest expenditure is armaments, secretly recruiting troops and horses, training soldiers, and buying weapons, and its ambition is far more than just dominating rivers, lakes and seas. Seeing this huge formation and the eight murderous "generals" on both sides, Liu Lao Wu realized how correct his decision was.
If in a few years, when the power of the Whale Shark Gang reaches its peak, it will be more than just a matter of "water thieves". I'm afraid that by then they want to annex the territory of the Qinling River, they only need to build ships and press the territory with a large army, and they can wipe out Liu Laowu's forces without much effort. I'm afraid that even the imperial court won't dare to stop it, as long as they don't attack the state capital and rebel openly, they will just fight and annex the rivers and lakes, and they will turn a blind eye. At that time, it will be worthless to return. Now that he has given up his territory, he may be able to get a half-official position.
Thinking of this, Liu Lao Wu already had the intention of making a head. If the news of his abolition of a leg spreads all over the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that if he is allowed to hide to the ends of the earth, he will also be hunted down and killed by the enemy. If you are backed by the big mountain of the Whale Shark Gang, not to mention the glory and wealth, at least you can live the rest of your life safely.
Suddenly, I heard a voice: "The helmsman has arrived!" As soon as the words fell, a white-faced scholar came out of the inner hall, about twenty or thirty years old, and he was also handsome, but his skin was pale and bloodless, and he looked sick, as if he was about to fall down as soon as the wind blew.
That Yan Shunan was wearing a white shirt, wrapped in a very ill-fitting red robe, which made people more and more white and thin, and the general black hair was blocked in front of him, half of which was draped behind him. Leaning on the wide chair and cocking Erlang's legs, Yan Shunan actually had a wisp of anger, and his eyes like knives swept over the eight strong generals on both sides, and the murderous generals became gentle servants in an instant, and they lowered their heads one after another, and hugged their fists towards Yan Shunan and bowed: "See the helmsman!"
Yan Shunan was not angry and arrogant, and said slowly: "Is this your way of hospitality? Anyway, Fifth Master Liu is our senior, how can he be so embarrassed? When the servant waiting on the side heard this, he brought a chair and placed it next to Yan Shunan, Yan Shunan pointed to the position next to him, and said to the stunned Liu Lao Wu: "Liu Wuye, please." ”
"No, no, no, this is not appropriate, I am the one who came to ask for help, how can I be on an equal footing with the Lord of the Yan Rudder. "Liu Laowu, who was still angry at the Dongshan Inn last night and scolded Yan Shunan for being a late-born junior, is now completely convinced, so humble, and talking to the juniors in a low voice. However, he was convinced, and he knew in his heart that this was not Yan Shunan's appreciation of him, but just a show, polite, and polite, acting for the world and Liu Laowu.
Yan Shunan heard this, but said: "What? Liu Wuye refuses to reward me with face? Or does Liu Wuye disdain to be with me this night?" Liu Lao Wu hurriedly got up, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, I just sit, just sit." After that, he had to drag the lame one, limped to the chair next to Yan Shunan, and sat down slowly.
Yan Shunan clapped his hands, and the eight generals knelt down on one knee at Liu Lao Wu together, and bowed in unison: "See Liu Wu Ye!" Although Liu Lao Wu knew that it was fake, he was also flattered, and hurriedly stood up, and hugged his fists one by one with a smile in return. After these red tape passed, Yan Shunan finally cut to the chase, but he was still calm and expressionless: "The letter from the Dongshan Inn last night has already been read by Wansheng. ”
Liu Lao Wu just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yan Shunan: "Liu Wu Ye don't have to worry, they will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of the late life." I have sent people to set up an ambush along the river for dozens of miles overnight, and whether they cross the river or not, and how they cross the river, they will be wiped out. "Thank you, Helmsman. Liu Lao Wu laughed twice and hugged his fists to thank him.
"It's just that the boundary of this Qinling River ......" Liu Lao Wu immediately responded when he heard this: "No problem, no problem, the helmsman can send someone to hand it over." After that, he took out a small silver fish hook from his arms and handed it to Yan Shunan, "The helmsman can send someone to hand over this token to the Qinling River, if he sees this fish hook, my people will honestly withdraw from the Qinling River boundary." ”
The reason why Liu Lao Wu was able to mix in the Qinling River boundary was not by his own strength, he also had his own family background. But most of the brothers who followed him to chop the waves and gallop the rivers and lakes were also as old as him, and they were already a little powerless, Liu Lao Wu had a deep affection for them, and he had already had the heart to retire from the rivers and lakes, so he didn't want them to die because of their personal vendettas, and finally ended up in the belly of a fish.
Therefore, when Liu Lao Wu sank to the bottom of the river, he had already thought clearly that he was not Pei Jingnian's opponent, let alone pulling his brother who was born and died to send him to death. If the Whale Shark Gang can avenge him, there will be no regrets, if the Whale Shark Gang Jiangnan Helm can't catch Bai Xingxian and the others, and end up with a lose-lose scene, this is what he wants to see the most.
Yan Shunan took the fish hook and immediately ordered his subordinates to do it. In order to celebrate the successful storage of the Qinling River boundary by the Whale Shark Gang's Jiangnan rudder, and in order to celebrate Liu Laowu's enemies in advance, Yan Shunan ordered people to hold a banquet for Liu Laowu, wash the dust for Liu Laowu, drink for a day, and don't mention anything else.
And Yan Shunan did scatter his manpower early and ambushed him on the north and south banks of the Qinling River, stretching for dozens of miles. I'm afraid that I'll get rid of Bai Xing Tears and others. Shen cuttlefish four people on the bank of the river in the fisherman's house overnight, the second day, the chicken crowed several times, Bai Xing tears and Shen cuttlefish slowly woke up, both of them are from rich and noble families, there have suffered such a hard life.
Although people who wander the rivers and lakes do not sleep on the streets, it is good to have a place to live. But the stone bed of the fisherman's house made the two of them sleep cold and freezing, so uncomfortable, they tossed in a daze for a night, and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night, and were woken up early in the morning, and they had to hurry, so they were naturally unwilling and unwilling.
And Pei Jingnian is very different from Mingjue. After all, Pei Jingnian was born in the government, and he practiced martial arts hard since he was a child. Therefore, this humble environment is only a trivial matter for her. Mingjue sat cross-legged all night, Buddha and Zen are connected, meditation and bitter meditation is a kind of practice, Mingjue has learned to participate in Zen and sit since he was a child, and he can also sit for three days and three nights without water and rice.
Pei Jingnian and Mingjue got up early in the morning, and in order to repay the fisherman's kindness for staying overnight, they chopped wood and fetched water for the fisherman in the yard, which was the right to be rewarded. The old fisherman wanted to stop them, but instead of getting tired, they were doing a good job, and they gladly accepted it. After another half an hour, Shen Cuttlefish and Bai Xingxian slowly walked out of their respective rooms yawning.
glanced at Pei Jingnian and Mingjue, nodded their heads, and said hello. After washing, after a little rest, the fisherman invited the four of them to eat a meal of fish porridge to satisfy their hunger, Shen cuttlefish was hungry for a long time, and even ate three bowls of it was still unsatisfied, eager to turn over the bottom of the bowl and lick it again. Pei Jingnian only ate one bowl and was full. Mingjue couldn't eat meat, so the fisherman thoughtfully ordered a bowl of somen noodles for him. It's the white star tears, I'm used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but I feel that this fish porridge is very fishy, I eat two or three bites, it's hard to swallow, I'd rather be hungry than eat it again, so I have to push it to Shen cuttlefish. Shen cuttlefish is not wrong.
After the four of them have breakfast, they will set off. The fishermen also fulfilled their promise and used their own fishing boats to send four Shen cuttlefish and two horses to the other side of the river in batches. Before leaving, Bai Xingxian left a silver ingot in order to repay the kindness of the fisherman. But all she spent was the entanglement given to Shen cuttlefish by the Anhuai Mansion, and Shen cuttlefish looked at it with blank eyes, but she didn't dare to stop it, but she was secretly dripping blood in her heart.
