Chapter 86: First Encounter with the Wako

Leng Yuhu saw that this gang of robbers was killing innocents indiscriminately and being cruel, how could he ignore it? ”

Zhao Yu nodded, Leng Yuhu let go of the hand holding her, and walked forward, eager to save people, ran forward like a meteor, ran to the shore, and saw that three more robbers jumped on the bow of the boat and got into the cabin, but they didn't come out from behind, thinking that they were greedy, only cared about robbery, and didn't care about killing.

Leng Yuhu was in a hurry, so he plucked a willow on the bank and threw it into the river, floating on the river. Leng Yuhu rose up, flew towards the river, and landed down, his right foot was a little on the tree, and his body had already flown up again, and he fell towards a small boat. The robber on the boat saw it and rowed sharply, and Leng Yuhu landed on the stern of the boat, and with a little tiptoe, he flew to the stern of the small boat of the man who invited the moon, and was already standing on the stern.

The gang of robbers saw Leng Yuhu like a flying immortal out of the sky, and knew that it was not an opponent, so they rowed and fled one after another. Seeing that there were only rolls of paper in the cabin, and there was no property they wanted, they were angry in their hearts, and they all got out of the cabin to kill the person who invited the moon on the ship to vent their hatred.

When they saw that there was an extra man at the stern of the boat, they were surprised, but they did not think much of it, and drew their swords and struck at them. Leng Yuhu knew the power of their long sword, dodged, rushed forward, and when the other party was stunned, he snatched the long sword, the long sword turned back, and stabbed the opponent's vital point with a sword, and fell to the ground without moving. The remaining three people then remembered that the person who came was the one who had chased them just now, and they knew that it was powerful, so they jumped into the river and swam to the other side of the river.

Leng Yuhu turned around, and the rescued person shouted "ah", "You are Brother Leng." ”

Leng Yuhu also said: "You are Mr. Xu." ”

It turned out that this person was Xu Wentao, Xu Wentao in Datong Sweeping Leaf Villa, Xu Wentao who went to Beijing for a trip together, and didn't want to meet here tonight.

Xu Wentao took Leng Yuhu's hand and said, "Go and sit in the boat." ”

Walking into the cabin, the boatman inside had been killed, and the calligraphy and paintings were scattered in a cabin. Xu Wentao sighed: "Pity!"

Fu walked to the bow of the boat, and the two of them stood, talking about the aftermath. This Xu Wentao traveled in the north, observed the situation in the northern frontier, drew a lot of maps of the situation of mountains and rivers, and also collected a lot of ancient calligraphy and paintings of celebrities.

Leng Yuhu said: "I still have a friend on the shore. ”

The two came to the stern of the boat to paddle, the boat came to the shore, and the two went up to the riverbank. After walking half a mile to the north, Zhao Yu stood on the bank of the willows and waited, dressed in plain clothes, like a fairy in the moon.

The three of them came together, and Leng Yuhu introduced to Zhao Yu: "This is Mr. Xu from Jiangnan." He introduced to Xu Wentao: "This is Miss Zhao Yu Zhao." ”

The two saluted. Xu Wentao said to Leng Yuhu: "The robbers you are talking about are not ordinary robbers, they are robbers from overseas. ”

Leng Yuhu looked dazed. Xu Wentao said: "Overseas, there is a Japanese country. This is a group of Japanese ronin, strong in martial arts, they came to Zhejiang by boat, and they robbed the rich land, burned, killed and looted, and they have been harming for a long time. They were called the Japanese by the people of Zhejiang. ”

Leng Yuhu asked, "Does the government care?"

Xu Wentao said: "The government doesn't care, but it can't be controlled, this gang of Japanese robbers is too powerful." ”

Leng Yuhu thought of fighting with them just now, and understood that what Xu Wentao said was true. Xu Wentao said: "They are not only strong in martial arts, but also very powerful in the swords. ”

Leng Yuhu asked, "Isn't it a long sword?"

"No, it's a Japanese sword, it is made of fine iron and repeatedly exercised, sharpening iron like clay, and my Chinese weapons are like broken copper and iron in front of them. ”

Leng Yuhu thought of his own long sword, and the opponent's knife was broken at the slightest touch.

"This gang of pirates came from overseas, specializing in robbery, murder and arson, and they were ruthless, and the officers and soldiers were no match for them at all. Relying on their high martial arts, in addition to robbing along the coast, they also penetrated deep into the interior from time to time, often dozens of people, thousands of officers and soldiers, but they could not help them. I didn't want to run to Yangzhou City tonight. Xu Wentao said sadly.

Leng Yuhu saw that he was troubled, so he said: "My Chinese martial arts are profound, and I am not afraid of them." ”

Xu Wentao said: "That's right. I was still in Beijing, with a few friends, but the governor of Zhejiang sent me a letter asking me to be a staff member in his house to help plan the anti-Japanese war. Brother Leng's martial arts are world-famous, you see that you kill them like a hand, why don't you come with me to Hangzhou to help the government?"

Leng Yuhu said happily: "I just have nowhere to go, so it's okay to go to Hangzhou to fight with this widow." ”

Xu Wentao was overjoyed.

Leng Yuhu looked up and saw that the moon had set westward, so he said to Zhao Yu: "Miss Zhao, I'll send you into the city." ”

That Zhao Yu bowed his head and was silent, as if tears flashed, what a smart person Xu Wentao was, so he said: "You speak first, I will wait for you on the boat." ”

Xu Wentao walked away.

The willow bank, the wind and the waning moon. The two walked together. Zhao Yu said in a low voice: "I don't want to go back to the city, I want to go to Jiangnan with Brother Hu." ”

Leng Yuhu's heart was also agitated, but he thought that he was going to fight with the cruel widows, and he was afraid that Zhao Yu's daughter's body would be hurt, but he also thought: "I can't ask for it if I am with her." ”

Leng Yuhu said: "It's almost dawn, let's go into the city and explain to your aunt, she can rest assured." ”

Zhao Yu bowed his head and walked silently for a while before he said: "My cousin has a bad heart, my aunt is forcing each other, fortifying every day, living like a year, I look forward to Brother Tiger coming day and night." ”

Leng Yuhu understood, and said, "You write a letter, and I will send it, so that they don't worry." ”

Zhao Yu was happy: "Okay." ”

The two walked forward, and Leng Yuhu peeked at Zhao Yu wearing plain clothes, bullying frost and snow, like a flower, and he was really happy in his heart.

The two walked to the side of the boat, and Xu Wentao was already waiting on the side. Leng Yuhu said: "Miss Zhao also came to Jiangnan with us. ”

"Okay. Xu Wentao said again, "Now that the sky is about to dawn, we still go to the city to deal with the boatman's affairs." By the way, we went to the city for breakfast. ”

Both of them were very good. Xu Wentao tied the boat, and the three of them walked towards Yangzhou City. When I walked to the edge of the city, it was already dawn, and I had breakfast in a small restaurant on the edge of the city. After the meal, Leng Yuhu borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the restaurant, Zhao Yu spread out the paper, took the pen and waved it, and what he wrote was nothing more than a trip to Jiangnan with his friends, no need to worry. After writing it, it was handed over to Leng Yuhu. Leng Yuhu put the letter paper in his clothes, walked to the city mansion, handed it to the janitor, and turned around to leave.

Xu Wentao went to the government to report the case, and used some silver taels up and down, and it took four or five days for the government to conduct an autopsy and handle the case.

The three of them had to stay in a hotel. When the case was closed, Xu Wentao hired another small boat and moved the famous calligraphy and paintings, mountain and river situation maps, pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and other things in the original boat to this boat. The original boat has been taken away by the government.

The three men got on the boat, the boatman paddled at the stern, the three sat in the bow of the boat, and the boat came down the river to the Yangtze River.

In the afternoon, the boat had come to the edge of the Yangtze River, but saw that the Yangtze River was mighty, the waves were surging, rushing to the east, the river was very wide, the opposite side could not distinguish cattle and horses, and the sky was full of trees.

Xu Wentao pointed to the opposite bank with his hand and said: "The waves of the Yangtze River are big, and when we get to Zhenjiang on the other side, we have to change the big boat." ”
