Where is the emperor in the pavilion now, the Yangtze River outside the threshold is empty!

All the way north, Li Zhongxuan has come to the south bank of the Yangtze River. I can't help but think of Lao Du's "boundless falling trees and Xiao Xiao, not all the Yangtze River is rolling", and the desolation and sentimentality are even worse!

Looking up, a silver-white jade belt winds to the end of the field of vision. Fortunately, although there is frost and snow near Jinling, the Yangtze River does not freeze all year round.

On the river, three or five boats drove small boats to and fro on both sides of the Yangtze River, and one traveler after another was sent to the other side by them! However, because they have been fighting for many years now, they are unlucky to encounter a boat with a lion's big mouth. What's more, you will encounter water bandits disguised as boatmen, robbing guests here, and pray that they will not be thrown into the river!

Even in a bloated cotton suit, Li Zhongxuan's body still looked a little thin. He stood on tiptoe and began to shout at the boatman, lest he not notice him. After a while, a small boat rowed in front of Li Zhongxuan. I saw the boatman reaching under the water with one hand to hold the boat and prevent the boat from moving, and the other hand stretched out to Li Zhongxuan.

Although Li Zhongxuan was young, he also knew that water bandits were rampant on the Yangtze River. Although the person in front of him has a sincere smile, who knows if he is the bandit who kills people without blinking?

Li Zhongxuan didn't stretch out his hand, but said with a smile: "Boatman, how much is the boat fare for crossing the river today?"

Seeing this, the boatman still did not withdraw his outstretched hands, and a sincere smile still hung on his face: "This little brother, as usual, twenty yuan." ”

On the way here, Li Zhongxuan had already inquired with passers-by, and the river crossing fee was indeed twenty yuan. But he still didn't dare to let go, but continued to ask with a sad face: "I heard the pedestrian who just crossed the river say that it only costs fifteen yuan today!" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, only to see fifteen copper plates lined up on it one after another: "I only have fifteen yuan on me, big brother of the boat!"

Seeing this, the boatman scratched his head and looked at the twisted expression on the face of the young man in front of him. Haha laughed and said: "In that case, fifteen yuan is fifteen yuan, come, come up!" said and stretched out his hand in front of Li Zhongxuan again.

Li Zhongxuan thought to himself that if it was the ruthless thief, he would not relent, and let himself get on the boat. But what if this person saw that he was testing him? He weighed it in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and took the boatman's big hand: "Thank you big brother of the boatman, little brother is grateful!"

The boat slowly sailed towards the middle of the river, and the boatman talked to Li Zhongxuan without a ride. When asked why he crossed the river, he only said that his parents were killed by bandits, and he went to Jiangbei to join his relatives...... In my heart, I only hope that the boat will go faster and faster! My eyes have been looking at the frost and snow on both sides, and the sky and earth are silver and white everywhere, and my mood has calmed down a lot. After a while, the dock on the opposite bank finally appeared in front of Li Zhongxuan's eyes. Seeing this, the boatman also laughed: "Don't worry, we'll be on the other side soon." ”

Li Zhongxuan's hanging heart finally fell: "Thank you, big brother of the boat family!" When the boatman saw this, he rowed harder.

Suddenly, the boatman's face changed, and it turned out that several small boats were quickly rowed in front of him, and there were five or six people on each boat, all holding weapons in their hands.

Water bandits!

Seeing this, Li Zhongxuan was flustered in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm, because the bandits generally did not do anything to the boat. now

His net worth and life will be handed over to the big brother of the boat family in front of him!

Several small boats quickly surrounded the small boat where Li Zhongxuan was, only to see a big thick hand take out an axe and hook the edge of the small boat!

I saw a bearded man with a height of eight feet take out a big knife, cut it on the edge of the boat at once, and then picked it up and pointed at the boatman and shouted: "Zhang Lao Liu, I asked you to bring ten people a month to honor me, but what about the people you brought?

Zhang Laoliu lowered his head and glanced at Li Zhongxuan, then raised his head and looked at the bearded man in front of him, but he didn't dare to answer!

Seeing this, the bearded man patted Zhang Liu's face with a knife: "Huh?!"

This sound really frightened Zhang Laoliu, he retreated and fell softly on the boat, and then immediately got up and knelt in front of the bearded man: "Boss Ma, now there are wars everywhere, and those who cross the river are refugees, this kid only has fifteen yuan, and his parents also died in the war! ”

"Hahaha, it's okay to let him go, but what about you?" said Boss Ma, sneering.

When Zhang Laoliu heard this, his sweat was so frightened that he was dripping down in such a cold weather! He knelt down and kept kowtowing: "Boss Ma, let us go, he is still young, and I still have a wife, children, and mother waiting for me to provide for him! Boss Ma, please let us go!"

"In that case, I'll give you a chance. Didn't you say that this kid only has fifteen yuan, if you dare to lie to me! Be careful of your dog's life" Boss Ma snorted coldly: "Brothers, search for me!"

The group of bandits under Boss Ma had already begun to gear up, looking at the young man in front of him with white skin and red lips and white teeth, how could they believe that he had no silver! At this moment, Boss Ma gave an order, and immediately two minions couldn't wait to snatch the bag that Li Zhongxuan was carrying!

Li Zhongxuan thought about resisting, but with so many people in front of him, how could he be their opponent? It would be nice if his father was here, his martial arts were so strong, wouldn't he be able to deal with these thieves with his hand! Unfortunately, his father has passed away!

The two men had to be allowed to snatch their bags, thinking of the gold and silver treasures in their bags. Suddenly, his face was colorless, and cold sweat flowed down involuntarily!

It seems that today's catastrophe is destined to be unavoidable.

I saw the two unwrap the package and shake off a boat. The gold and silver treasures in front of him shook people's eyes a little dizzy. These bandits, in recent years, have robbed only fleeing pedestrians, where have they seen so much belongings!

Seeing this, Boss Ma quickly ordered someone to put away these belongings, and then put a knife on Zhang Laoliu's neck! At this moment, Zhang Laoliu didn't dare to move at all, and water stains had already begun to drip from his crotch, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Li Zhongxuan knew that these treasures were now going to leave him, and the top priority was to save his own life! These treasures of gold and silver are given to you, so please let us go!" he bowed down and shook himself deeply.

Boss Ma didn't pay attention to him, just looked at Zhang Lao Liu with a sneer: "Zhang Lao Liu, what do you say now?"

Zhang Laoliu's face was flushed, cold sweat kept flowing, and he said hesitantly: "Boss Ma... I... I don't know... I look at him... He's still young... And... And it's very pitiful for a person whose parents died! That's why...!"

Boss Ma laughed and said, "You have lived to be a dog for decades, but you were deceived by a little doll!" Then he suddenly put away his smile and looked at Zhang Lao Liu gloomily: "The people you brought to me, how many did you bring this month?" You say, what should I do with you?"

Zhang Laoliu's face was pale, he didn't know how to reply, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Ma Lao. Boss Ma ignored himself, but he just blindly embarrassed Zhang Lao Liu, which made Li Zhongxuan's heart very nervous! Moreover, the water bandit boss in front of him was moody, one second he was still laughing, and the next second he seemed to be about to eat them! Li Zhongxuan didn't know what to do at the moment, so he had to accept his fate and silently wait for Boss Ma to pronounce his fate!

Boss Ma looked at the two of them, one with a blank face, and the other with a dead heart. An old cat playing with a mouse without the slightest resistance, although it is very cool, but it is also a little boring after a long time. Suddenly, he had a great idea, he knew what to do with the two people in front of him!

He looked at Zhang Lao Liu with a smile: "Of the ten people I asked you to bring this month, you brought four of them! Today I almost let this fat sheep escape from the palm of my hand, how do you say I should punish you? Jiangbei Zhangjiazhuang, your wife, children, and mother are okay at home? How about I help you take care of them in the future? Huh?"

When Zhang Laoliu heard this, he shook his head violently, and the blade on his neck even cut his neck! His eyes were full of tears: "Boss Ma, please let them go, you kill me! Kill me! As long as you let them go, let them go, let them go!" As he spoke, he knelt down suddenly, kowtowing and shouting for mercy!

Boss Ma's minions suddenly laughed: "I heard that although his little lady is not very good-looking, she is a child who can give birth!"

"The ass is huge!" I don't know which boat came from the voice, and these men suddenly burst into laughter!

Li Zhongxuan looked at these people in front of him, and tears finally flowed down his eyes! He hated himself so much, if it weren't for himself, there would be no such things at all! He hated himself for not being strong enough, if his martial arts were strong enough, how could he be humiliated by these bandits! He hated himself for hurting this kind-hearted Zhang Lao Liu......

Boss Ma's smile also became a little playful: "Zhang Lao Liu, don't you like to be a good person, I'll give you a chance!"

When Zhang Laoliu heard this, he kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Boss Ma, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will do anything, as long as you let my wife, children and mother go!"

Boss Ma smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I will not only let go of your wife, children and mother, but also let you go!"

Zhang Lao Liu seemed to grasp the life-saving straw: "Boss Ma, you say, let me do anything!"

Seeing this, Boss Ma laughed: "Okay, you throw this kid in front of you into the river!" Let a good person do a bad thing, it feels exciting to think about it, and it feels cool to think about it! Thinking about this, Boss Ma's laughter became even more arrogant!

When Zhang Laoliu heard this, tears blurred his vision again, although he would bring a few people to Ma Boss every month, but every time he would beg Ma Boss not to hurt those people, but this month the war was raging, most of the pedestrians who crossed the river were fleeing, and he was a soft-hearted person, and he moved some compassion!

This is the middle of winter, let him push the young man in front of him into the river, here is more than 100 meters away from the north bank of the river, this young man will be difficult to live!

Li Zhongxuan, who was next to him, heard Boss Ma's vicious proposal, and he hated it even more in his heart! But he had no choice, he knew that he had harmed Zhang Laoliu! In today's situation, it was absolutely impossible for him to live, so why not sacrifice himself to save this big brother Zhang's family!

Thinking like this, his heart is crossed, and he is about to jump into the river!

At this moment, the horse boss flashed next to Li Zhongxuan, grabbed his arm and dragged him to the boat: "If you dare to jump down by yourself, I will not only kill Zhang Laoliu but also kill his whole family!" Li Zhongxuan didn't expect this horse boss to be so vicious!

Li Zhongxuan looked at Zhang Lao Liu: "Brother Zhang, you don't have to be sad, I don't hate you! It's worth it to exchange my life for your family!" he smiled and continued: "Do it, I'm ready to meet my parents!"

At this moment, Zhang Laoliu, who was extremely struggling in his heart, heard Li Zhongxuan's heartfelt words, and finally made up his mind! Doing so made his heart extremely tormented, and the young man in front of him might appear in his mind for countless nights in the future, but he had to do it!

Zhang Lao Liu looked at the young man's immature face and looked at this green smile, and his heart became more and more sad: "Little brother, I'm sorry!" Thinking like this, his hands finally slowly stretched out to Li Zhongxuan!

Li Zhongxuan was pushed into the river like this!
