The boat was about to enter the Huaiyang River, and the water surface suddenly became extremely wide, and the reeds on the water's shore were dense and impermeable, and in the evening, the boat boss gave the boatmen his knives, guns and clubs.

Red Sleeves felt strange, so he asked the boat boss: "Why did you take a knife and a gun when you entered the Huaiyang River?"

The boat boss frowned and said, "Miss doesn't know, there are many people in the green forest along the Huaiyang River, who have been plundering on this canal all year round."

Red Sleeves said in surprise: "Even if there are three or five robbers, do you dare to rob your big ship?"

The boat boss sighed and said: "The people in this green forest were originally small shares, but they didn't dare to fight the idea of my big ship, but since the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, these people have faced threats from different forces from time to time, and they have involuntarily gathered together and become many sects."

Red Sleeves nodded and said, "What are the sects?"

The captain of the boat felt that he looked at the water surface and reeds under the sunset and said: "It is said that there are eighty-one gates in the green forest, and the banks of the Huaiyang River account for thirty percent, I only know that there is one in the Huaiyang River called Huailaimen, which is the largest sect within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the others really can't say much."

Red Sleeves smiled and said, "You let them put the knives and guns back, there is that son on this ship, and whoever comes is looking for guilt"

The boss of the boat looked at Tie Lang, who was sitting on the bow of the boat and bowed his head to drink tea, and said in his heart, how can this young descendant be the opponent of the people in the fierce green forest, don't say that these people are dozens of people when they come, I think it is a big man and he was captured, but he complimented in his mouth: "Miss Gongzi is a master, if there is really anything wrong, please take care of yourself"

Seeing that the boat boss didn't believe it, Red Sleeves didn't say anything anymore, but went to Tie Lang's side, squatted down and poured Tie Lang a cup of tea, and told Tie Lang the words of the boat boss as they were.

Tie Lang frowned when he heard this, and said, "Are these people outside the royal law?

Red Sleeves smiled: "If the government can manage everything, Childe, you have gone to eat in the prison of the forbidden army now"

Tie Lang thought about the fight with Murong Bu that day, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, presumably the government can't control it" After speaking, he thoughtfully remembered the martial arts priest he undertook, and thought to himself that his martial pastor was obviously a martial artist in the wilderness when he saw that it was written on the holy decree, but now he saw that there were so many people in the green forest outside the court who were against the government, and he didn't know what the emperor who issued the decree wanted to do? Deliberately increasing the civil force, wouldn't that weaken the strength of the government.

Tie Lang thought for a long time and couldn't get the gist, and it happened that Red Sleeves came over with a newly lit lantern, so he asked: "Red Sleeves, do you think this government doesn't want these green forest heroes to become stronger and bigger?"

Red Sleeves tilted his head and thought about it: "How can any official family think that these people in the green forest who can't be managed will become big, and if these people become big, then the officials of the government will have a big head."

It happened that the boss of the boat also carried a lantern to the bow of the boat to take a look, and when he heard the words of the red sleeves, he couldn't help but interject: "What Miss said is, but it's not necessarily true, these people in the green forest are following the way of killing the rich and helping the poor in the former Tang Dynasty, as long as the life is passable, they will not be too embarrassed by these passing officials and businessmen."

In troubled times, when the war is chaotic, the government dares to change a few in one day, and the people are in danger in the war every day, and these green forest heroes will maintain the safety of one party, no matter who comes, as long as you don't kill the people, then you are still an official. If it is difficult for the people, they will resist in groups, only when the Khitan people come, the green forest sect of the Huaiyang River will resist the Khitan for several months, although the Liao State has won Kaifeng, but has never crossed the Huai River step"

Red Sleeves couldn't help but snicker when he heard this: "These thieves only allow them to bully the people, but they can't allow others to come."

Tie Lang was enlightened like thunder by the words of the boss of the ship, and his heart quickly thought about the true intentions of this Wu Mu Yuye, and slowly seemed to understand a little, but he was still not sure. I always feel that if this is the case, then this emperor is really kind-hearted, and he actually values the safety of the people in the world more than his own court.

As he approached, Tie Lang heard the voices of people outside, so he got up and went out of the cabin to check, only to see the boatmen on duty at night poking down around the ship with iron guns, and shouting angrily.

The captain of the boat also held a spear and scolded, and when he saw Tie Lang coming out, he said: "Childe quickly entered the cabin, these thieves are afraid that there are more than these at the bottom of the river."

Tie Lang vaguely felt the sound of a thumping chisel at the bottom of the boat, and knew that there were robbers coming, but he couldn't get into the water because he didn't know the nature of the water.

Red Sleeves also came out of the cabin and asked the captain of the ship: "If you don't get off the boat and drive them away, let them cut and chisel, and the ship will not leak in a while."

But the boss of the boat said: "We can go into the water, but we can't beat them, the bottom of my boat is a few feet thicker, and it can't be broken for a while, as long as the spears are used around to protect them, and they don't let them breathe," After saying that, the boss of the boat called the boatmen who were resting in the bilge and asked them to slide the boat to the shallows, as long as the bottom of the boat is close to the shoal, the people at the bottom of the boat can't do anything below.

Red Sleeves also held the long sword at his waist in his hand and stood on the side of the ship to look around, while Tie Lang grabbed a plate of dry-popped broad beans on the low table at the bow of the boat and looked around.

The ship's boss expected it to be good, about a cup of tea, the bottom of the boat bubbled up, presumably the people at the bottom of the boat were not breathing, and wanted to come up for ventilation.

The spears in the hands of the boatmen only kept plunging down, and the thieves had to dive far away from the boat before they dared to show the water, and Tie Lang then saw about four or five people, so he threw the broad beans in his hands with the hidden weapon technique of the Yellow Dragon Thousand Shadow Hand, and after a few shouts, the water returned to calm.

The boss of the boat saw that Tie Lang injured the thief with broad beans, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Childe is not a Da Luo Jin Immortal."

Red sleeves said proudly: "I told you, with my son-in-law here, whoever comes is looking for guilt"

Only then did the boat boss believe the words of the red sleeves, but the boat boss then smiled bitterly: "This method of digging the boat is the usual method of the vilama gate, they must have a boat in front to intercept it, and now the son has injured the people at the bottom of the boat, and they are afraid that they will fight to retaliate."

Saying that, the boat boss ordered everyone to row the boat to the shore, wanting to avoid it on the bank of the river, and then continue south when it was dawn. Red sleeves said: "The boat boss doesn't need to be nervous, just go down, wait to meet those thieves, let them see my son-in-law's methods"

Although the boat boss believed in Tie Lang's martial arts, he was still quite worried: "If there are a hundred and ten people waiting in the river below, the son is a big Luo Jinxian and can't stop them, this thief of Llama Gate is the most vicious, and he is considered a tyrant in a section of the Huaiyang River."

In the evening, Tie Lang heard the boat boss say that the people in the green forest still have some chivalrous hearts, and felt that these people seemed to be in line with the will of the Wu Mu Division he undertook, and now he saw that these people were so careless about people's lives, and he couldn't help but be angry, so he said: "Even if the boat family goes down, as long as you can prevent them from scuttling the ship, I have my own opinions about the rest."

The boatman hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Childe, don't pit me, I'll wait" and ordered all the boatmen to row together, raising the speed of the boat to the fastest, but whenever there is a boat to intercept, he will pick up the boat and rush straight over.

Tie Lang returned to the bow of the boat, Red Sleeves had already hugged a chair and waited there, and when Tie Lang sat down, Red Sleeves handed Tie Lang a bag of copper coins and said: "Childe, this copper coin is better than broad beans."

Tie Lang tossed the copper coin and said: "This is enough for two hanging money, it's cheaper for these thieves."

Red Sleeves said with a smile: "If Childe is exchanged for a thief for a penny, these are enough for you to kill all the thieves in the Huaiyang River."

Tie Lang said: "I only injured those people in Shicai, and I didn't ask for their lives."

Red sleeves said: "How can the son be so kind to a woman, if this boat were an ordinary family, he would have lost his fortune and died, and I might have sold it to the Qinglou."
