Chapter 21 Crossing the River and Seizing the Boat

After a burst of fog, there was chaos on the ship.

Most of the dozens of first-class dart masters accompanying Tang Tianlong were wiped out in an instant, and some of the rest were forced to jump into the water, and some followed Tang Tianlong's four brothers to abandon the ship and land on the shore.

The six dinghys approached in a blink of an eye, and more than a dozen muscular men jumped from the dinghy onto the big boat and headed straight for the cabin.

At the same time, six dinghys were fanned out, and dozens of cables were shot out at the same time, and these cables crossed and hung on the big ship, instantly intertwining into a large net. The masked man in the cabin quickly took out four large wooden boxes with seals attached to them, and slid them directly into the dinghy through the large improvised net.

At this time, the poisonous fog had dissipated, Tang Tianlong and the others had inhaled the poisonous fog to varying degrees, and after stabilizing their breath, Xiao Wensheng found that the poison did not seem to be fatal, but it could make people temporarily hallucinate and faint, and when he looked at it, the black shadow on the boat flashed, so he shouted: "If you can move, follow me on the boat!"

At this time, the black-clothed masked man on the boat had already finished his work, and one of the leading masked men said: "Withdraw!" At the flash of the knife, a group of black-clothed masked people waved their knives to cut the rope and jumped off the boat. By the time Tang Tianlong, Xiao Wensheng and other brothers who had come to their senses returned to the ship, the six boats had already sailed more than ten zhang away.

Yan Wuxiu has never been afraid of anyone in the fight on the road, but at this moment, even if he has a thousand catties, he can't help but raise his stick and scold at the boat: "Little rabbit cubs, don't run, and compete with you Yan Wuye." He was scolding and spitting, but there was a burst of laughter from the dinghy.

Tang Tianlei looked at Tang Tianlong beside him and hurriedly said, "Big brother, hurry up and chase it, our silver ......"

Xiao Wensheng interjected: "The boatman has not woken up yet, besides, where can the big boat on the big river catch up with the speedboat?" and then ordered his subordinates to save people on the boat and under the boat.

Many of the dart masters who fell into the water had already swam to the shore, all of them seemed to be chickens in soup, and those who had fallen into a coma from the poisonous fog on the boat gradually woke up a lot.

Tang Tianlong shook his head and looked up to the sky and sighed: "I didn't expect my Jade Ding Dart Bureau to miss twice in a month......" Before he finished speaking, he heard Yan Wuxiu beside him shout: "Big brother, look ahead!"

Following the direction of Yan Wuxiu's finger, Tang Tianlong and the other brothers suddenly lit up!

In the direction of the departure of the six dinghys, countless lights were lit up at some point.

Five full-sailed boats had completely blocked the exit of the fork bay, blocking the way of the six dinghys. The huge triangular apricot yellow flag on the building boat is waving in the wind, and the lights are bright up and down, but the distance is a little farther, and the people on the boat cannot be seen clearly.

Xiao Wensheng said in Tang Tianlong's ear: "Big brother, I don't know if the person who comes is friend or foe, should we catch up?" Tang Tianlong was hesitating, when he saw countless rockets shot out from the five building boats, and the six small boats saw that the situation was not good, and they all turned to the east bank of the river.

The five ships were none other than Song Yukun, the helmsman of the Hankou branch of the Youlong Gang, and others.

Song Yukun has been crisscrossing the Yangtze River for nearly 20 years, and his experience in fighting the enemy on the water can be said to be quite rich, he stood on the bow of the boat and saw the small boat in front of him turn away, and when he waved the command flag in his hand, he immediately put down more than ten speedboats on the boat, and his brothers boarded the speedboat and went straight to the east bank of the river to chase it.

The brothers of the Dragon Gang are all good at the water, and these more than ten speedboats are approaching like arrows from the string, and they are chased within more than ten zhang in the blink of an eye.

"Shoot the arrow!" With the order of the leader of the speedboat, the bowstring sounded, and the arrows were fired in unison, and the black-clothed masked man in front of the dinghy seemed to have been on guard, and they erected rattan signs at the stern of the boat, and seeing that they were about to reach the shore, a small boat suddenly released an arrow into the sky.

Not long after, there was a messy sound of horses' hooves on the shore of Jiangdong, and the leader of the masked men on the dinghy shouted: "The wind is tight, and the wind is tight", and they jumped into the water one after another before the boat landed.

Song Yukun's fleet on the river also followed closely, and saw a group of men and horses coming from the shore from a distance, knowing that there was an enemy on the land to respond, worried that they would be ambushed, and hurriedly called people to sound the gong to collect the troops. The Dragons brothers catch up with the dinghy and sail back with the crate that the masked man had taken.

The horse caravan on the shore came and went as fast as it came.

The boats of the You Long Gang docked one after another, Tang Shiyao couldn't wait to come to her father's boat, "Dad!" A cordial call, Tang Tianlong turned around and saw his baby daughter.

"Yao'er?!" Tang Tianlong never expected to meet his daughter here, "You...... Why are you here?" Tang Shiyao threw herself into her father's arms, and the worries and thoughts she had been thinking about for many days turned into crystal tears rolling down her cheeks.

Long Shiqiu couldn't bear to interrupt the joy of the father-daughter reunion, and quietly walked to the side of the dart master who had just woken up. When Xiao Wensheng saw that Long Shiqiu was also here, he suddenly felt happy in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Long Daxia, why are you here with Shi Yao?"

Long Shiqiu smiled: "Not only me, but also the brothers of the Dragon Gang. ”

At this time, Song Yukun, Nine Fingers Dao Chang and Shi Donglai and others had already arrived, and Long Shiqiu had finished introducing them one by one, and Tang Tianlong also came forward to greet the brothers.

Tang Tianlong hugged Wan and said, "Thanks to Lord Song and the brothers for their help tonight, Tang is grateful!"

Song Yukun waved his hand and said: "What a gesture to make, why worry about it, this is not the place to talk, why don't you move to Song's building boat and talk again?"

Tang Tianlong said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Tang Shiyao wiped her tears, only to find that Long Shiqiu was leaning over to talk to an injured dart master.

I saw Long Shiqiu squatting aside, picking up the sleeve of a dart master and sniffing it, and whispering a few more words, Tang Shiyao walked up to him and said, "Brother Long, what's wrong?"

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Long Shiqiu stand up, and said with a slight smile: "It's nothing, let's go, let's go to Lord Song's boat to talk." ”

Song Yukun's buildings and boats are all two-story structures, and everyone is seated on the second floor.

Tang Tianlong cleared his throat and said: "Tonight, thanks to the help of the Youlong Gang and all good friends, Brother Tang and others have replaced wine with tea, and I have thanked you in advance." After that, he and the rest of the leaders of the Yuding Dart Bureau stood up and thanked them.

Song Yukun said with a smile: "Mr. Tang is too polite, the former Hong San has had some misunderstandings with our gang, and now it seems that someone is secretly taking the blame, this time Mr. Tang went to the helm of the gang in person, I believe that Mr. Lan will give a satisfactory explanation to the Tang family." ”

Tang Tianlong said with a look on his face: "In the end, my third brother acted recklessly and collided with your gang, this time for him, it is also a lesson, I have heard for a long time that Lord Song is a pivotal person in your gang, and I hope that Lord Song will say a few kind words in front of Mr. Lan, so that you and I can release their suspicions." ”

Tang Tianlong's words made Song Yukun's face glow, only to see him laugh and said: "Mr. Tang has an overreputation, and the current situation is that the enemy is dark and I am clear, judging from the situation tonight, the other party has reached the point of being rampant, this is the time when the same people in the rivers and lakes are working together to fight the enemy, Song believes that Mr. Lan will weigh the pros and cons, and turn the war with your dart bureau into a jade silk." ”

Tang Tianlong thanked him when he heard this: "So everything depends on Lord Song Helm!"

Song Yukun waved his hand again and again and said: "Don't be polite to the big boss of the Tang family, tomorrow I will go to the helm with the big boss." ”

Tang Tianlong smiled: "This is the best. ”

Nine-fingered Daoist Yuan Tianqi glanced at Long Shiqiu, only to see him sitting on the side frowning and thinking about something. Yuan Tianqi knew that this person's intelligence was very comparable, so he coughed dryly and asked, "I wonder what Long Daxia thinks about tonight's events?"

Long Shiqiu smiled slightly and said: "There is no danger tonight, everyone is tired, I think it is better for us to rest early." ”

Yuan Tianqi knew that he must have thought of something in his heart, but he refused to say it easily, so he had to say haha: "Long Daxia said this very much. ”

Tang Tianlong looked at Long Shiqiu and said: "Long Daxia, just now the little girl has told me what happened in the past few days, Yao'er has been taking care of you along the way, Tang really doesn't know how to thank you." ”

Long Shiqiu said with a smile: "Long is just a filial piety that fulfills love, and now that the father and daughter are reunited, Long can also retire." ”

Tang Tianlong heard what he meant by his words, and before he could speak, Tang Shiyao on the side had already spoken: "What, you want to go?" Seeing that his daughter's delicate face changed, she seemed to be slightly angry, and she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart!

Xiao Wensheng observed his words and looks, and had already understood eight or nine points, and said secretly: This is good, my brothers and Long Shiqiu have always been brothers, this little niece seems to have a heart for him, if this Long Shiqiu becomes my eldest brother's son-in-law in the future, then the generation will be chaotic. Looking at this situation, my eldest brother has not yet seen it through, so I have to find an opportunity to blow the wind and test my eldest brother's reaction, so as not to cook the rice one day and make it difficult to end up.

Long Shiqiu didn't expect Tang Shiyao to interject on this occasion, so he was stunned and didn't speak.

"What do you remember promising me?" Tang Shiyao seemed to be really angry, and in front of so many outsiders, she didn't leave any affection for Long Shiqiu.

Long Shiqiu sighed, and before he could speak, Tang Shiyao had already stomped his feet and walked downstairs.

Tang Tianlong really didn't expect to go deeper, and when he saw that his daughter had a good temper, he was stunned and said, "She's ......."

Xiao Wensheng hurriedly said: "Hey, the child's temper, it will be fine in a while." ”

When they saw that it was near, they dispersed to rest and did not mention it.

Where could Tang Shiyao sleep, standing alone in the bow of the boat blowing the river breeze.

Tang Tianlong was about to step forward to persuade him, but Xiao Wensheng pulled him back behind him, Xiao Wensheng quietly muttered a few words in his ear, only to see Tang Tianlong taken aback, and couldn't help but say: "What? she likes ......" Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Xiao Wensheng: "Big brother, you be quiet." ”

Tang Tianlong said in a low voice: "How could Yao'er ...... Oh, how old is she, you say this, this ......"

Xiao Wensheng whispered: "Big brother, you don't know Yao'er's temper, who can stop what she wants to do since she was a child? According to the younger brother, Yao'er has already moved her true feelings for Long Shiqiu, even if you oppose it, it will be useless." ”
