Du didn't forget that he had naturally heard of these eight people a long time ago, so he wanted to stop:

"I know that the eight brothers are all loyal and courageous, and we may have misunderstood just now. ”

The eight people naturally appreciated that the man in front of them was very powerful just now, and when they heard that this person was actually the famous Du Tanhua in the rivers and lakes, it happened that Du did not forget to give the eight people a step down at this time, and the eight people stopped.

I only heard the eldest of the eight dart masters say very respectfully to Du Yixin:

"I didn't expect you to be Du Tanhua, son, you are really looking up for a long time!"

Du did not forget to quickly reply:

"Eight brothers, we are also fortunate to meet, fortunate to meet!"

By this time, the ship had already stopped moving because of the fight between the men, and the boatmen had already taken refuge in the cabin on one side.

The master turned and shouted into the cabin:

"Since the brothers are tired from sailing, why don't you take out the wine in it and have a drink?"

After a while, a few boatmen carried a few tanks of wine, and walked up to the eight dart masters in fear.

Du didn't forget to see the wine, and said very excitedly:

"I didn't expect there to be good wine here, so I won't forget that I happened to have a drink with my eight brothers today. ”

The Archmaster replied:

"That's what I wanted, that's what I wanted!"

At this time, the white lotus also returned to Du Bu Bu from the reeds, and whispered to Du Bu Bu:

"I secretly checked this pile of reeds just now, and found that there is a strong pungent acid gas inside, if I guess correctly, there may be gunpowder hidden in it!"

Du was taken aback and whispered back:

"Gunpowder!, it seems that I was right, they are most likely with that Zhu Yicomb. ”

The white lotus white Du did not forget to glance:

"Didn't you call them all brothers? I think you should have a way, right?"

Du Chu shook his head:

"No, if I have a way, why am I still standing here?"

White Lotus was very concerned and said again:

"Then be careful when you drink later, don't be plotted!"

Du did not forget to smile lightly:

"What am I afraid of?"

At this time, the big dart master had already poured two large bowls of wine himself, and handed one of the bowls of wine to Du Buying:

"Du Tanhua, how about we have a drink first?"

After Du did not forget to take the wine bowl of the big dart master, he drank it all directly, and exclaimed excitedly:

"Good wine, good wine!

The master gave a thumbs up to Du Yi:

"Du Tanhua, it's really cool, then I can't be stingy with my brother last night!"

Then he drank the other bowl of wine in his hand.

Then the second dart master also walked over directly with the wine jug, and after filling it for Du Buyi, he also drank a bowl with Du Buzhi, and the other six dart masters naturally followed suit.

After drinking a bowl of wine with each of the eight dart masters, the big dart master saw that Du Buzhi's face did not change and his smile was as usual, so he walked over and patted Du Buyi on the shoulder with great appreciation:

"Du Tanhua is really a lot!"

Du did not forget to smile lightly:

"I don't forget who I haven't served yet!

The big dart master also replied very boldly:

"Okay, it's rare to meet a master of alcohol like Du Tanhua, in this case, how about Du Tanhua dare to accompany me over there to get drunk?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Of course there's no problem, since you proposed it, brother, then I won't forget to accompany you to the end. ”

The master then asked people to bring a few large jars of wine and put them on the bow of the boat, and then sat on the bow with Du Yiyi, and the two began to taste wine and talk about life.

I only heard the master say:

"I was born in a hunter's family in the depths of Dahong Mountain, how can I suffer misfortune from a small family, so I ended up in this Xiangyang Mansion, thanks to meeting seven old brothers, we joined the Xiangzhou Dart Bureau together!"

Du Bu Chu also said:

"It seems that my brother and I have suffered a similar experience, I am also from Anlu Mansion, and my parents left me very early......

The two unconsciously hugged each other and drank freely.

Finally, when Du did not forget to ask:

"Dude, why are you on this ship today?"

The Archmaster replied:

"Because ......!"

After hesitating for a moment, the master looked at Du Zhen again:

"Okay, since Du Tanhua and you are all so kind to the eight of us, I don't need to hide it anymore!"

After taking a long sip of wine, he continued:

"In fact, the dart of this trip may harm people, but we owe a person's love, and in order to repay the love, we have to protect this dart?"

Du Cheng asked curiously:

"Brother, do you owe Zhu Yicomu?"

The Archmaster shook his head:

"Brother, I don't know the Zhu Yishu you said, and I don't know who it is, but what we owe is the love of Zhu Youshu, the king of Xiang. ”

Du didn't forget to nod:

"It turns out that you owe King Xiang a favor!"

The Archmaster replied:

"Yes, because more than ten years ago, our Xiangzhou Dart Bureau was seized and arrested by the government because of a trip to the forbidden property, and it was Prince Xiang who came forward to protect the eight of us, so the eight of us owe it this love. ”

Du Buyi also took a sip:

"Oh...... Well, I see!"

Then he calmed down and said:

"But the things on this ship, the white girl just went to check it for me, it may be a ...... like **!"

When the big dart master heard the **, he was very shocked:

"Fire ...... Fire...... Medicine?...... This...... How is this possible?"

directly interrupted Du Yi's words.

At this time, the White Lotus walked over from the side and said to the Great Dart Master:

"There is indeed gunpowder hidden in this reed, I have already tried it. ”

At this time, the big dart master hurriedly walked to the other seven dart masters, and after whispering earnestly, he came over and said to Du Yifu:

"Du Tanhua, we want to see if it's really gunpowder? So we've solved this batch of gunpowder in a place, can you and the white girl go ashore first and wait for us later?"

Du didn't forget to glance at the white lotus, and then replied to the big dart master:

"Yes!"

After a while, the boatmen returned to their positions, and then docked the boat, and after Du and the White Lotus returned to shore, the ship began to go offshore.

At this time, the White Lotus was very puzzled and asked Du Yiyi beside her:

"Brother Du, are you really at ease with them?"

Du did not forget to look at the big ship gradually offshore with a solemn expression:

"I don't know about that, but my instinct tells me that these eight dart masters are loyal and courageous, and they will not help the abuse. ”

The White Lotus pulled Ladu and did not forget his hand:

"In that case, let's go!"

But when the two of them had walked less than ten steps, they suddenly heard a violent rumbling sound behind them.

At this time, the two of them quickly turned around and took a look, and found that there was a slowly sinking fireboat on the river, and there were bursts of crackling sounds on the fireboat.

Du did not forget to say at this time:

"Not good!"

I wanted to run forward, but I was pulled by the white lotus:

"Brother Du, what do you want to do? Don't you want to die? That's a gunpowder explosion!"

Du Cheng said:

"But those eight dart masters ......!"

The White Lotus comforted:

"Since the eight dart masters chose this way for the sake of righteousness, maybe they also have their hardships, and we can't help it!"

After a while, the fireboat slowly sank into the river and disappeared without a trace, except for countless unburned reed residues floating on the surface of the river.

Du did not forget to shout at the river with emotion at this time:

"Eight loyal brothers, I don't forget to know that you are unwilling to live up to the friendship of Prince Xiang, and I don't want this batch of gunpowder to hurt innocent people in the hands of bad people, so I don't forget to thank you here. ”

After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the river.

In the afternoon, in the palace courtyard in the west of the city, everyone was busy at this time.

And the person in command is Steward Cui, who has disappeared since the morning.

I only heard Steward Cui urging a few servants who were carrying a large wooden box:

"Can you do things faster? I don't know it's almost dusk now, and you haven't finished moving your things yet? Aren't you afraid that the prince will blame later?"

One of the servants replied:

"Steward Cui, it's not that we don't want to hurry, but since noon, the boxes and ropes have only been transported here from the palace, and there are thousands of boxes of valuable things to be moved, how can we finish moving them so quickly?"

Steward Cui was very angry and said:

"Anyway, I don't care, you must go to the direction of the ferry at sunset, otherwise the prince will not spare you!"

After saying that, Steward Cui hurriedly went into the house again to light something.

At this time, Du Buyi and White Lotus also came to the outside of the palace courtyard, and seeing a large group of busy palace people, White Lotus whispered to Du Bucheng:

"Brother Du, it seems that what you expected is good, my uncle and Steward Cui must be inside!"

Du Cheng said:

"I said it a long time ago, your uncle is a person who loves money so much, it is impossible not to personally count these things that are given away, you still don't believe me!"

The White Lotus glared at Du Yiyi:

"Don't I just believe you now?"

At this time, Du Buyi suddenly found five familiar figures in the group of people carrying boxes, and then pointed to the five people:

"Ling'er, look, isn't that Wuyi? They actually came here too. ”

The White Lotus saw that Du Buyi was referring to, and sure enough, it was the five meanings of Poyang Lake after Qiao Zhuang, so he pulled Du Buyi's sleeve and walked to the location of the five people:

"Let's go and ask them why they're here, right?"

Du Bu Bu walked behind Liu Erbao and patted Liu Erbao lightly on the shoulder, which directly scared Liu Erbao to jump up, and when he turned around to take revenge, when he saw that it was Du Bu Bu and the White Lotus, Liu Erbao stopped his hand in surprise:

"Du Gongzi, Bai Girl, why are you only here now?"

Du did not forget to say:

"We just went on a big business, so we're late, how did you know we're here?"

Liu Erbao replied:

Because yesterday Yang Chengdao didn't worry about you and the white girl, so I let the fourth child and I secretly follow you, of course we know that you will come here.

Du Bu didn't forget to lower his head and shush:

"Be quiet, don't be discovered. ”
