Time flies, and nine months have passed in a blink of an eye. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Sange has also served as a military advisor in the 36 waterways for nine months.

Nowadays, the old dragon head because of old age and frailty, has retreated into the background, the total petal of the 36 waterways is the eldest son of the old dragon head Long Yangtze River, his person is more than 30 years old, burly, square face and straight nose, a beautiful hair under the chin, dignified appearance, but the earlobes of both ears are sharpened, it seems that the future is not good. Because when he started a business with the old leader, he was ruthless, and he was a ruthless character who was not afraid of hardships and dangers, so he was given the nickname of "chopping waves" on the rivers and lakes.

However, Long Changjiang is conformist, self-contained, overly cautious in everything, too suspicious, and every time he encounters a tricky matter, he has no backbone, indecisive, resourceful and not good at decisiveness, and it is really not a material to make a waterway general petal.

Since Liu Sange came to the waterway, he has made drastic moves, promoted the advantages and eliminated the disadvantages, and managed the daily affairs of the waterway in an orderly manner.

The waterway swept away the old habits of twilight, and the atmosphere was new, but it also offended some people, one of them was Long Changjiang, but he didn't say it.

The Yangtze River sees the waves in his eyes, nests in his heart, and applauds on his lips, but he has a special taste in his heart, and there is a feeling of crying and laughing, which can be said to be a mixed blessing and sorrow, and the joy is: Since then, the waterway has abundant financial resources, smooth sailing, and the burden on his shoulders has been much lighter;

The old dragon head was determined to give up the top spot of the waterway to Liu Sange, Long Changjiang is a filial son, only on the lips, but the boss is reluctant in his heart, in his opinion, the huge family business of the thirty-six waterways, to give to an outsider, that is an incredible thing, even if the descendant surnamed Long, is a loser, but also by this loser to take the helm, defeat will also be defeated in the hands of his own people, how can he give it to a foreign surname. Later, because of Liu Sange's insistence, this matter was revealed, and Long Changjiang was relieved.

Once a person sits on the "throne", he will fall in love with the stack, and let Long Changjiang come down from the "throne", which is really sadder than death.

Third Brother Liu said that he didn't want to be the chief valve of the waterway at all, and he didn't even want to be a military advisor, but it was for the sake of the face of the eldest brother and the old dragon head that he was in charge for a while.

Can you say the same as you think? Of course it's different.

Sometimes, people can't think about what to say, and when they encounter special circumstances, they have to talk back, as the saying goes: when you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense, that's the truth. If a person wants to say anything, then he must be crazy, sometimes, it is simply looking for death, this is an obvious truth, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it.

What Liu Sange said was better than what he sang, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd? Did he really not want to be a helper? Or did he pretend to have a secret plan? In his opinion, of course, it was the latter, and he had to be more careful, and he must not let Liu Sange's conspiracy succeed.

In the final analysis, Long Changjiang is a cautious and suspicious ordinary man, not like a general man who is tolerant of all rivers and has an open mind.

However, Long Changjiang is a calm and calm person, who can hide his words, not only a face-to-face character who dares to fight, but also a villain who can make a stumbling block in secret, the hidden worries in his heart have never revealed a word to anyone, on the surface, he is respectful to Liu Sange, but in his heart, he is worried and fortified everywhere.

He is inconsistent, and he really deceived the eyes of Third Brother Liu, one is that Long Changjiang is tightly disguised, which is really good, and the other is that as the delivery date of Nan Bu is approaching, Liu Sange's heart is mostly on Nan Bu Bu's mother and son.

Nan Bu, who was nine months pregnant, had a ruddy complexion, a big belly, busy sewing the baby's clothes by himself, looking at the joyful Nan Bu Fall, Liu Sange's heart was filled with warmth and happiness that he had never had.

Every time he thinks that he can be a father in another month, he can't suppress his joy, and he has to sing a few words of Peking Opera, Liu Sange has been influenced by the Changhong opera troupe since he was a child, and he sings quite authentically, but he always sings in his ears, and he listens too much, and he is also annoying, Nan Bu said: "Don't sing, don't bother, you don't sing well, the child in the belly is shocked, it's not good." ”

"Won't it?"

"Yes, if only you sang as beautifully as your brother Bai Yuchun, it would be great. ”

Third Brother Liu smiled and said, "How can I compare with him, how many people in this world can compare with him!"

"Well, then don't sing. ”

After getting married, Liu Sange took Nan Bu to secretly meet his adoptive parents Bai Yilin and his brother Bai Yuchun and his wife.

Bai Yilin and his wife are his adoptive parents, and he has always kept it secretive and does not let anyone know, for fear that this will leak the news, let the enemy family find out, and bring accidents to the adoptive parents' family. Naturally, when the wedding was held in Nanjing, the adoptive parents were not notified.

The old dragon head didn't know about this matter, and Ding Piaopeng didn't know either, in his opinion, the fewer people who knew, the better.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the brothers, it's that the rivers and lakes are too sinister, and he has to keep a hand.

At that time, when he took Nan Bu to visit his adoptive parents in Suzhou, he didn't even bring his apprentice straight flush and let him take care of the family at home.

Bai Yilin saw that Yizi had gone home with a famous doctor's daughter-in-law, and he couldn't stop talking, not to mention how happy he was.

Third Brother Liu stayed at his adoptive parents' house for a few days, then said goodbye in tears and quietly left.

In recent days, the only thing that makes Liu Sange faintly uneasy is the health of the old dragon. It seems that his health is getting worse and worse, he always forgets things, his expression is in a trance, and sometimes, while eating, the chopsticks slip out of his hand.

Nan Bu saw him a few times, saying that it was caused by kidney deficiency and yin deficiency and excessive intercourse, and prescribed him a few patches of medicine to replenish yin and yang, and told him to pay attention to moderation and not have sexual intercourse in the near future. Otherwise, it's useless to take any medicine, this thing is a problem, three points of medicine, seven points of nourishment, just eat or not, Da Luo Immortal has no tricks.

For this reason, the old dragon head disagreed and laughed it off.

The old dragon head understands that if he is not accompanied by Ge Jiaojiao for a day, he will lose his soul and sleep and eat, which is really worse than death, even if he dies under the pomegranate skirt, he is willing.

Until this moment, he finally saw himself through from his bones: it turned out that Lao Tzu was not a waterway hero who overturned the river and the sea, but an old pervert who turned the river and the sea and never died!

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the ninth month, when the sky was overcast, Liu Sange went to the study room of the Longtou compound to visit the old dragon.

The old dragon head was lying on the easy chair and napping, the study was quiet, there was no one else, the brocade robe covering the old dragon's head slid to the ground, Liu Sange leaned over and picked up the robe, and gently covered the old dragon's head, at this time, the old dragon head woke up, opened his eyes and said: "You are here, okay, good, I was just trying to find you, there are some things, I want to explain." ”

Third Brother Liu said, "What's the matter?"

The old dragon head sat up from the easy chair and said, "In the past two days, I feel that something is very wrong. ”

Third Brother Liu said: "What's wrong? Is it wrong for me to do something, please tell the eldest brother directly." ”

The old dragon head said: "Where are the words, brother does business, brother, I can rest assured." It's just that in the past few days, I feel that my chest is stuffy and flustered, and I feel a dull pain, good for a while, bad for a while, my body is not as good as a day, and I am probably not far from the time of death, and I have to explain some things to you. Hey, the children and grandchildren under the knees, either brave and resourceless, or mediocre and incompetent, unbearable to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, thanks to the help of brothers, otherwise, after a hundred years, the thirty-six waterways may fall into the hands of others, this is always a piece of the brother's heart, sit, sit down, today, we have to have a good chat. ”

Liu Sange pulled a chair, sat next to the old dragon's head easy chair, and said, "Big brother, don't say such unlucky words, scare my brother." ”

The old dragon head laughed and said: "The ever-changing third brother Liu also has times when he is scared, who will listen to it, who will believe it, haha__"

Suddenly, the old dragon's face changed suddenly, he was in pain, he fell heavily on the easy chair, his whole body convulsed, his hands covered his chest, the easy chair shook violently back and forth, he said intermittently: "Wow, here it is again, it hurts, it hurts, __"

Third Brother Liu hurriedly got up to rescue, stretched out his hand to caress the old dragon's chest, suddenly, the old dragon head screamed, grabbed Liu Sange's hand, opened his mouth, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, spraying Liu Sange's face and body were full of blood and blood clots, his head was crooked, and he passed out.

At the same time, he suddenly heard a "bang" sound behind him, and looked back, but it was Yahuan picking lotus, the tea tray in his hand, knocked over to the ground, the teapot and teacup, fell to the powder, the juice on the ground was dripping, steaming, at this time, Cailian opened her mouth and stammered, stood in the hall, unable to speak, it turned out that she went to fetch tea just now; the scholar lark standing behind Cailian, carrying a food box, was also stunned, only to hear "poof" With a sound, the food box in his hand slipped to the ground, and the food box poured out, and the fresh fruits and exquisite pastries in the box were dripping and rolling all over the ground.

In an instant, there was a dead silence in the study.

Suddenly, the scholar lark screamed: "Murder, someone, Third Brother Liu killed the old master." ”

Flee while screaming.

When the accident happened, Third Brother Liu was in a hurry, hurriedly broke free from the old dragon's hand, turned around and wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and argued: "Nonsense, I didn't kill anyone, it's the eldest brother who is sick, go and call him to treat the disease." ”

Cai Lian also reacted at this time, hurriedly turned around, lifted her skirt, followed behind the lark, and shouted as she ran: "Third Brother Liu has killed someone, he has killed the old dragon's head with one palm, someone is coming, Third Brother Liu has killed someone." ”

The dragon head compound was already heavily guarded, and in an instant, four bodyguards rushed to hear the news, two rushed in from the door, two swept in from the window, and saw the old dragon's head in front of the bloodstains, falling on the easy chair, life and death unknown, Liu Sange stood aside, covered in blood, with a stunned and confused look, and even believed that the murderer of the old dragon head was the third brother of the military advisor, so he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "The thief is gone, leave his life." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "I didn't kill the eldest brother, you misunderstood." ”

The four of them are Wudang disciples, respectively called White Crane, Xuanwu, Dragon Elephant, Snow Leopard, is the bodyguard of the Longtou compound, known as the "Four Great Gate Gods" on the rivers and lakes, the long sword in his hand is quite good, there are four of them in charge, the thief Xiao Xiao, is afraid of the Longtou compound, and does not dare to think about it at all.

At that time, the four major gods screamed in unison, the four swords were launched at the same time, suddenly, the sword qi in the study was vertical and horizontal, sneering and sneering, the blue light was blazing, the cold mangs were a little bit, Liu Sange lost the opportunity, if he wanted to draw the sword to parry, it was impossible, he didn't dare to be careless, his body changed rapidly, and he dodged and survived in the dense sword net, the tables, chairs and benches in the study, the tea set vase, fell to the ground and shattered, the calligraphy and painting scrolls, in the sword qi blade, turned into pieces, and flew indoors like snowflakes, Suddenly I heard a loud sound, the long sword flashed, and the white crane's style of "destroying the withering and decaying" cut a hole in the cuffs of Liu Sange, Liu Sange understood that there was no goodness today, so blindly being beaten passively in the study, a distraction, would fall under the sword, and it would not work if he did not fight back. He stepped on the Kunlun fox step, his body shook, broke through the sword net, close to the white crane, grinned, the palm shadow floated, and slapped a palm under the white crane's coercion, the white crane screamed, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and the person flew out upside down, Liu Sange flew up, almost clinging to the body of the white crane, and the other three major gods were shocked, and hurriedly withdrew the long sword, for fear that the long sword would shoot and hurt his own family, poof, the white crane's body fell under the window, and Liu Sange almost stuck to his body and went out of the window.

As soon as the third brother fell down in the courtyard, he saw the lark rushing in with Long Changjiang and a large number of bodyguards, and the lark said: "It's him, who shot the old boss to death." ”

Long Changjiang roared angrily: "Cut this obstacle downward." ”

Langli shark Li Guangguang and all the bodyguards were all men who did not spare their lives, shouted and rushed up, behind the third brother Liu, the three major gods also chased after him, among which Xuanwu cried and shouted: "My eldest brother Baihe was also killed by the surname Liu, brothers, avenge the old boss and the eldest brother Bai." ”

When Third Brother Liu heard this, he was shocked, how could it be? Just now, I only used six or seven successful strengths, and Bai He was seriously injured at most, so he would not lose his life.

As everyone knows, Bai He fell down in the window just now, and the back of his head was KitKat, and he fractured his bottom and lost his life.

Brother Liu understands that today's injustice has been settled, the more you argue, the worse it is, the more no one will believe you, if you really make a move, if you are not careful, add a few more lives, and the beams of the thirty-six waterways, the knot will become deeper and deeper, it is better to withdraw and leave a little earlier, and wait for the future, and then make a difference.

He sighed, and at his feet, he pulled onions on dry land, flew up, and flew up in the air, and flew to the outside of the dragon's head compound.

There are many people in the world who "pull onions on dry land", but there will be no more than five people who can pull so high like Brother Liu.

Everyone stomped their feet in the court and sighed, but they were helpless, the height and speed of Liu Sange could not allow you to open your bow and sword, or send a dark weapon, and it would disappear without a trace.

I saw the young master Long Changjiang pursed his lips with his fingers, and with a scream, the two falcons male and female heads stopped on the plane tree in the courtyard, and rushed out of the bushes, with a red feather on the male head and a white feather on the female head, which was beautiful and eye-catching, Long Changjiang pointed to the third brother Liu who was about to fly out of the high wall, and shouted: "Peck him to death, peck him to death, don't let the surname Liu run away." ”

The male head and the mother-in-law are quite humane, seeing the master's order, they chirped and screamed, and the voice was sharp and chilling, and they pounced on Liu Sange from both sides.

No matter how fast Liu Sange's light skills are, he is not as fast as the male head and the mother-in-law. In an instant, two falcons were like two lightning bolts, shooting down at the third brother Liu, the third brother was in the air, and when he was falling, he couldn't transform into a dodge, he understood that the sharp beak of the falcon was hard and sharp like the tip of a spear, as long as he pecked on his head, the skull would be shattered, and the brain would splash, he really couldn't bear to kill the two falcons, these two falcons, for the thirty-six waterways have made great contributions, and they are the love of the eldest brother and the old dragon's head, and now, at this critical juncture of life and death, but he can't care about so much, the third brother takes a breath, draws his sword in the air, the eagle is fast, the third brother's sword is faster, a cyan sword arc flashes in the air, only to see the heads of the two falcons, forced by the sword qi, and fly up in the air, The falcon's neck, respectively, spewed out two canopies of blood, scattered in the air, as brilliant and gorgeous as fireworks, poofed twice, the head of the male head and the head of the mother-in-law, landed one after another, but the body of the falcon still opened its wings, circled in the air for half a circle, and then fell to the ground.

As soon as Third Brother Liu's figure fell, he disappeared.

Long Changjiang was so angry that he stomped his feet and sighed, he ordered Xuanwu and others to chase and kill Liu Sange, and ordered a messenger to inform the second brother Long Huanghe, block the various important docks in Nanjing, and arrest and hunt down the third brother Liu who killed his father's enemy. He took his cronies and entourage to the study to save his father.

In the study, the old dragon head fell on the easy chair, his hands covered his chest, the front of the placket was stained with blood, a wisp of blood hung from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were open, and he had already died of anger. His face was terrified and suspicious, as if he had discovered a terrible secret when he was dying.

Long Changjiang knelt in front of the easy chair and reached out to close his father's eyes. He thought: When his father found out that Third Brother Liu had killed him, he must have been shocked, he couldn't figure out how this brother he trusted and relied on the most, but he harbored a wolf ambition.

With tears in his eyes and great sorrow, he tried his best to restrain his grief, moved his father's hands from his chest to his sides, untied his father's shirt, and saw that his father's chest had collapsed, and all the ribs on his chest had been broken, and a palm print was faintly visible.

Wow, you wolf-hearted third brother Liu, a human-like dog-like thing, usually pretends to be a hero who walks for the sky, but it turns out that he is a sinister and vicious Jiangyang thief! Thief embryo, if you want it, just say it, why bother to kill it, Lao Tzu let you not get it, okay, count you ruthless, let's wait and see, don't slaughter you son of a bitch, I swear not to be a man!

He muttered silently and said, "Dad, rest in peace, my son will do whatever it takes to avenge you." ”

Skylark said: "Gang leader, the villain saw it with his own eyes, Third Brother Liu slapped the old gang leader's chest, and immediately, the old gang leader screamed, spurted blood from his mouth, and fell on the chair, silent. By the way, Cai Lian also saw it. ”

Cai Lian also came and cried: "Yes, I can see clearly, Third Brother Liu shot the old gang leader to death. ”

Long Changjiang's face turned blue and roared: "If it's not him, who else will there be!"

The lark and Cailian were startled, shut up and wiped away their tears, and stepped aside.

Long Changjiang got up, waved his hand, and the bodyguard stepped forward and carried the old dragon head out of the study.

Long Changjiang walked to the white crane under the window, stretched out his hand to probe between the mouth and nose of the white crane, there was no breath, and saw that the corner of his mouth was bleeding, and there was no damage on his body, but there was a hole in the back of his head, dripping with blood, and there were splattered blood stains on the windowsill.

He pulled over a chair, sat down, looked at the filthy and messy study, his heart was like a knife, and he sighed for a long time, Long Changjiang's henchman, named Wang Abacus, resourceful, and also a Shaoxing master, stepped forward and said: "Mourn and change, help the master." ”

Long Changjiang said: "It's really a so-called knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts, I can't imagine that Third Brother Liu is such a person." Master, Xuanwu has led people to hunt down and kill Third Brother Liu, look, can you catch Third Brother Liu?"

Wang Abacus is more than forty years old, tall and thin, thin and pale on the face of the horse, embedded with a pair of white and black dead fish eyes, sharp chin, hanging a few sparse beards, dull appearance, like a person who lacks heart, in fact, Wang Abacus dead fish eyes rolled, it is a ghost idea, because the ghost idea is strange, slow talking, walking lightly, so the waterway guys, behind his back gave him the nickname of "Yin Si ghost".

Yin Si Ghost King Abacus approached Long Changjiang and said: "If you want to catch Third Brother Liu, it seems a little difficult, even if you surround him, you can't get a bargain, fortunately, his wife Nan is about to give birth, and she is inconvenient to move, as long as you catch his wife, we have a hostage in our hands, and it will not be difficult to catch Third Brother Liu." ”

Long Changjiang muttered: "I heard that the martial arts of Nan Bu are by no means ordinary. ”

Wang abacus said: "Recently, I have seen Nan Bu Down, with a big belly, I expect that no matter how good the martial arts are, it will always be limited." However, Tong Shunzi, the apprentice of Brother Liu, heard that he studied martial arts hard and was already quite good at kung fu. ”

"What the military advisor said is extremely true. ”

Wang abacus said: "Please help the master take care of the brothers, if you want to catch alive, don't kill Nan Bu Fall, if you miss and kill Nan Bu Fall, the leak can be stabbed." ”

"How?"

"First, the South China Sea faction has formed a bond, and the South China Sea faction will pour out of the nest, ask the teacher for guilt, and fight to the death with our gang; second, the third brother Liu will tear his face, be more unscrupulous, and oppose the gang; third, the people in the rivers and lakes who have received the favor of the third brother Liu and the south, such as Ding Piaopeng and Cui Daan, will join hands to raise the teacher and ask for the guilt, and from then on, the thirty-six waterways will never have peace. ”

Long Changjiang frowned and resolutely said: "This gang leader is not scared, even so, he will fight with Third Brother Liu to the end, and he will not be tolerated." Of course, one person does things and one person is responsible, as long as Liu Sange pleads guilty and obeys the law, this matter has nothing to do with Nan Bucheng. ”

Wang abacus said: "Please help the master immediately secretly send an order to the brothers, to hunt down and kill Liu Sange is a void, to have a big momentum, and the rain is small; to pursue Nan does not fall is true, to have a small momentum, the rain is big, in the pursuit, it is strictly forbidden to use bows and arrows, hidden weapons and firearms, to capture alive those who do not fall, heavy rewards; and those who do not fall to the south will be severely punished." ”

Immediately, Long Changjiang sent another messenger to secretly pass the order to all walks of life in the waterway.

Long Changjiang said: "Third Brother Liu escaped, will he take Nan without falling?"

Wang abacus said: "Of course he will, he and Nan Bu are in love, life and death promise, it is impossible to leave Nan Bu alone." What's more, Nan Bu is about to give birth to a child, this is the root of the Liu family, and he can't give it up. ”

"You say, he'll run home first to pick up his wife?"

"Will be desperate to pick up Nan and not fall, besides, no one can stop him. ”

"If the brethren arrive, there will be a bloody battle?"

It seems inevitable that a few brothers will die. ”

Long Changjiang said: "If Third Brother Liu escapes from Nanjing, where will he go?"

"The ends of the earth. He was originally a person from the rivers and lakes, and now, he has returned to the rivers and lakes. ”

Long Changjiang said: "In other words, it will be more difficult to kill him?"

Wang abacus said: "Not necessarily, today's Third Brother Liu is no longer a hero, but a bloodthirsty **, a person who forgets his righteousness, a person who sneers at it, a person who gloarts, and those who have a festival with him are gearing up, and they will want to die quickly, today's rivers and lakes, for him, are not fun, maybe, he will die if he plays." ”

Long Changjiang was the first to say: "Alas, if the third brother Liu dies in the hands of others, it will always be a pity. ”

Wang abacus said: "No matter who Third Brother Liu dies in, for Brother Shuidao, of course, it is a very happy thing. ”

"Yes. Now, where has he gone?"

Wang abacus said: "First of all, he wants to run home, go to pick up Nanbu, and flee together." I hope that Third Brother Liu will flee home, but Nan Bu will go out, where will Nan Bu fall? It is possible that Third Brother Liu did not know. Perhaps, Nan Bu fell to the Confucius Temple to go shopping; Perhaps, in the Shunfeng Inn on the bank of the Qinhuai River, chatted with the shopkeeper Chen and his wife; perhaps, on the painting boat of the Qinhuai River, with Ling Gongzi's little dragon head, watched the singing boys and dancers sing and danced lightly; perhaps, in the church in Xiaguan, listening to the missionary sermons. ”

Long Changjiang was surprised: "Master, how do you know so clearly?"

Yin Si Ghost King abacus said: "To tell the truth, when the old gang leader passed the position of the gang leader to Liu Sange, he felt that this matter was against the norm, how could the world laid down by the Long family be given to a person with a foreign surname for nothing! ”

Long Changjiang said: "Thank you, master." ”

Wang abacus said: "You're welcome, eat a family, take care of a family." ”

Long Changjiang asked: "In addition to chasing Nan Bu down, is there nothing that can be done to Third Brother Liu?"

Wang Abacus twisted a few yellowed beards under his chin, his face was colorful, and said: "In this extraordinary period, you can use the 'black-clothed guard' to try, it is not cheap in the open, let's come to the dark, maybe, Third Brother Liu is not careful, and he will fall into the way." ”

The black-clothed guard is an underground organization that specializes in assassination by Long Changjiang, and only Long Changjiang and Wang Abacus know about the existence of the black-clothed guard, and even the old dragon head is ignorant.

Long Changjiang was at a loss and said, "Hmm, how do you call it 'coming to the dark'?"

Wang Abacus bowed his head and whispered in Long Changjiang's ear, Long Changjiang nodded again and again, stroked his beautiful hair with his hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief......

The Longtou Compound is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Qinhuai River on the Longtou Wharf, and the 36 waterways are for water business, so it is natural to live near the water.

Liu Sange's home is also on the bank of the Qinhuai River, not far from the Longtou compound, only three or four miles away, while the church in Xiaguan is in the north of his house, and the Shunfeng Inn of the Confucius Temple is in the southeast, each eight or nine miles away from his house.

Liu Sange swept out of the dragon head compound, ran to the home, the third brother's light skills, the dust is super fast, behind Xuanwu and others chasing the drum noise is getting farther and farther away, this area is in the suburbs of Nanjing, there are not many pedestrians on the road, there are a lot of cars and horses, the third brother galloped, swept in front of the car and horses, when the people in the car were stunned, the people were far away, I wanted to understand, the people were gone.

After a while, the third brother saw the door of his own courtyard, and between the two ups and downs, he swept into the courtyard, and saw the old mother Wang Ganniang, who was washing clothes by the courtyard well, so he asked: "Wang Ganniang, don't you fall at home?"

Wang Ganniang was startled when she saw that Third Brother Liu was covered in blood, and said in a trembling voice: "Third Brother, you, what's wrong with you?"

Third Brother Liu said: "I was wronged, and I couldn't explain this matter all of a sudden." ”

As he spoke, he used the water in the bucket to wash away the blood stains on his face and hands, took off his bloody clothes and pants, grabbed them, put them aside, and hurriedly put them on the unwashed clothes. Then he asked, "Aren't you at home?"

"No. ”

"Where are you going?"

She didn't say anything, she took the girl Cai'e and the car that Shunzi was driving, and left together. ”

"Oh. Third Brother Liu turned his head and left, took two steps, turned around, stuffed three taels of silver into Wang Ganniang's hand, and said: "This is your salary, go quickly, there are a large number of people and horses to kill, so as not to be injured by mistake." ”

Wang Ganniang trembled her hands and stuffed the silver into her arms.

The third brother said: "Let's go, go through the back door." ”

The shouting of killing at the front door became louder and louder, Wang Ganniang's face turned white, she stuffed the silver into her arms, and hurriedly slipped through the back door.

Liu Sange swept into the backyard, pulled out a horse from the stable, didn't have time to prepare a saddle, went out of the back door, flew on the horse, knocked the horse's belly with his heels, and galloped towards the Shunfeng Inn of the Confucius Temple.

When I arrived at the Shunfeng Inn, I rolled off my horse and ran to the account room, and asked the second shopkeeper Li Chenggong, has Nan Bu come here? Li Chenggong said: "The villain has been sitting in the account room early in the morning, I haven't seen her coming, what's the matter, third brother?"

"Well, I haven't been here, I have something to do with her. ”

Li Chenggong said: "My godfather is at home, otherwise, I'll ask him." ”

"No more trouble. ”

After saying that, he hurried away.

Li Chenggong looked at his back and muttered: "Hey, this is strange, what's wrong with the third brother today, is he dead? Hey, he's in a hurry, too. ”

The third brother was really anxious, and when he got out of the inn door, he thought to himself, Nanbu's most likely to go to the little dragon head to swim the Qinhuai River, really damn it, it was the enemy who was looking for it. He jumped on the horse, and then rushed to the Qinhuai River, the Qinhuai River next to the Confucius Temple was full of tourists, crowded, riding a horse, could not run up at all, the third brother had to get off the horse, and said "borrow light" in his mouth, leading the horse, moving in the crowd, until he left the prosperous area of the Confucius Temple, there were many fewer people, he rode on the horse, trotted up along the road by the Qinhuai River, and paid attention to the inspection while running, there can be a small dragon head in the river.

The painting boat of the little dragon head is a birthday gift from the old dragon head on his fifteenth birthday. The volume of the painting boat is huge, the cabin is high, it is made of high-quality teak and nanmu by skilled craftsmen, it is brilliant, beautiful, the gold-plated dragon head, high up, the painted hull, bright and dazzling, the painting boat like this on the Qinhuai River, there will be no more than three, of course Liu Sange will not admit mistakes.

Liu Sange thought: Shunzi's car, the carriage and horses can't get on the painting boat, by the way, it should be stored in the south wharf near the Confucius Temple, and the south wharf is also the territory of the waterway. Now, the waterway guy on the south wharf probably doesn't know that the old dragon head has died violently, and I must take out the carriage and horse as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be difficult to take out the carriage, and it will be difficult to give birth, and I can't tolerate the bumpy ride of the horse, so I can take her into the carriage and escape from Nanjing as soon as possible.

In a blink of an eye, the third brother rode his horse to the south wharf, and the brothers on the wharf saw that the third brother was coming, and they greeted him, and the third brother jumped off the horse and greeted the brothers.

Lao Chen, the account room, greeted him, and Third Brother Liu asked, "Lao Chen, have you ever been here?"

The bookkeeper said: "I've been here, and I also left the carriage and horses here, and the little dragon head took her and Shunzi to travel to Qinhuai on a painting boat." ”

"You're heading southeast, aren't you?"

"That's right, if there's something going on, I'll let the guy find it for you. ”

"No, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'm here to pick up the carriage and horses, and if she doesn't come for a while, I bother you to send a car to send her back to our house. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”

"Thank you. Saying that, the third brother Liu walked into the courtyard of the South Wharf, and saw that the carriage and horses were parked under the shade of the willows, and when Da Hei saw him coming, he kicked his hooves and shouted to him, and the third brother went over and patted Da Hei's neck, and Erhei also stretched out his head from the cat nest under the car seat, and called him out, which was regarded as saying hello, and then retracted his head and slept in his laziness. The third brother untied the reins tied to the tree, jumped on the saddle, drove the carriage, and walked out, this place cannot stay for a long time, the pursuers of the waterway will appear in front of him anytime and anywhere.

The third brother drove the carriage and rushed out of the compound, only to see a brother riding a horse, running towards him, holding an envelope in his hand, shouting as he ran: "Commander, go slowly, there is a letter in the south, you must read the letter before leaving." ”

The third brother said in his heart: What's the matter? Nan Bu has a letter? Could it be that she was caught?

This surprise was not trivial, the third brother's face turned white, and he shouted "huh" and stopped the "big black".

The brother who delivered the letter rushed to him, pulled the reins of the horse, rolled off the horse, and handed the envelope to the third brother, the person who delivered the letter, the third brother had never seen it, in his twenties, like a white and thin scholar, with a simple face, wiping the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, in the face of such a thin and slender white-faced scholar, no one would be suspicious and take precautions.

Third Brother Liu took the envelope and looked at it, and wrote: Third Brother opened it personally.

What is the matter with Nan Bu's handwriting? Why are you writing letters? We are together every day, is there any need to write letters? Not to mention that at this critical juncture, will there be fraud?

The third brother was a cautious person, full of suspicions, looking up and down at the messenger standing beside him, the messenger seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Madame wants to surprise you." ”

"Surprise?"

The messenger said: "Yes, what a surprise. ”

"Surprised?" Third Brother Liu was stunned for a moment as if he had fallen into a five-mile fog.

The messenger decided not to sell the guanzi, and said, "Madame is born, congratulations." ”

"Ah, premature?

The messenger said: "Mother and child are safe, everything is fine." ”

"Where did you give birth, take me to see. "The third brother likes to move colors.

"Okay, Madame will take care of you again and again, and after reading the letter, I can take you there. "The sender smiled innocently, a little badly.

"Did you give birth to a boy or a girl?" the third brother asked, as he went to open the letter.

The messenger sold a pass and said, "Then I can't tell you, open the envelope, and you will naturally know." ”

The third brother hurriedly tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, it turned out to be a blank piece of paper, when he was suspicious, he smelled a faint fragrance at the end of his nose, knew the way, opened his mouth and exclaimed, but he couldn't make a sound, he glanced at the messenger, only to see the messenger take out a dagger from his arms and stab him in the abdomen......

After that, the third brother lost consciousness.
