By July, Xu Feilong set off in Yuezhou Mansion, and he was about to be entangled, and there were only more than 20 taels of silver left in his pocket. He decided to meet his friends.

There are two places to go from here, one is to go to Xiangnan and find the six major warehouses of the Tang family in Yongzhou. The other place is to go to Jiujiang and find Ziyan Yang Juan of the Seven Star Alliance. But both roads are very far away, and only more than 20 taels of silver are not enough for the road fee, let alone food and accommodation.

Xu Feilong took a large passenger ship to Wuchang for ten taels of silver, and after a three-day voyage, the remaining ten taels of silver to buy food was not shabby, and he would talk about it when he arrived at Wuchang Mansion.

"In Wuchang, I asked a friend of Yunmo Shuangqi to borrow money. Xu Feilong thought.

This section of the river from Yuezhou Mansion to Wuchang Mansion, the river surface is vast and the water flow is gentle, the beach in the middle of the river is continuous, the lake and Han are all over the place, the two sides of the river are fertile for thousands of miles, it is the land of fish and rice in the lake. Passing through this area by boat, the boat is smooth and the sail is assisted, not only the boat is comfortable, but the guests are also very comfortable.

However, due to the spread of lakes and rivers, the aquatic plants on both sides are lush and the reeds are continuous, and it has become an active area for water thieves who rely on water to draft. From the mouth of the Sanjiang River at the mouth of Dongting Lake to Hanyang, although the hundreds of miles of water are not said to be thieves, it is often found that there are boats that have been robbed. Even near the mouth of the three rivers, there are actually water thieves.

Of course, if the shipowner and the water thief have a friendship, the people or goods on board are not very special, and the protection fee is paid, there will be no doom of being looted.

In short, small business small capital and limited property of the hotel, not afraid of the patronage of the thief, take the big passenger ship although rest assured.

At noon the next day, the ship was sailing down through the waves, and the passengers hid in the cabin, opening all the doors and windows to sleep.

The red sun on his head is like fire, and no one wants to go out of the cabin to suffer from the sun.

Suddenly, a bell rang, there was chaos on the ship, and the footsteps on the aisles on both sides were hurried, and someone was shouting: "Copy guys, take your places, don't act rashly if you don't listen to the greeting." ”

Then, a man entered the left hatch and solemnly announced to the startled guests: "Please pay attention to the guest officers, this ship is about to have some small trouble, everyone calm down, close the cabin window, no matter what movement outside, remember not to go out." Otherwise, the vessel will not be responsible. ”

Two men came in, each with a waist knife and a sharp hand hook for lifting goods, closed the hatch with their hands, and each stood on one side, looking solemn and solemn, as if he was about to arrive.

This is the aft compartment, with cargo stacked at the front, and twenty-six bunks on the rear deck, and cargo piled up under the cabin, with twenty-six passengers. The front and back ends are separated by cloth, and six female guests are accommodated.

Of the twenty male passengers, there were eight young men.

Immediately, some people knelt down and begged the Bodhisattva for protection, and some people hurriedly found a place to hide their belongings, and there was a great chaos.

Xu Feilong only had a small package containing a change of clothes, and Xu Feilong calmly put on his socks and boots, secretly preparing.

There was a shout outside, and the sails were lowered.

With a sound of "compassion", a wolf's tooth arrow shot at the hatch, and the arrow cut in, and the cold light shone like a cold star.

The boat guys didn't seem to resist, and the people were noisy. There was a loud earthquake of "Peng", and a ship came to starboard, and the sound of the hook falling was clearly audible.

At first, there was a cry from the front cabin. The front cabin was a wealthy passenger with status, presumably being ransacked.

Soon, there was a knock on the door of the cabin, and someone shouted, "Third child, open the door." ”

The two men guarding the hatch had already put down their knives and hooks, and knew that it was useless to resist, so they had to resign themselves to fate and open the hatch as they were told.

On the gangway aisle outside the hatch, there stood five or six shirtless men, with knives in their hands and daggers on their belts, all of them looking fierce and vicious.

The owner of the ship stood at the door and said to the frightened and desperate passengers inside: "Folks, these good men have come to borrow some coils from you. ”

Two big men rushed in and shouted in a straight voice: "Folks, disturb and disturb, we have no choice but to help, please help the folks." The folks in the rear cabin are not well-off people, we are not reluctant, please take out the gold and silver yourself, and please take off the jewelry. ”

The other man held a big hat and said with a cruel smile: "Please put the gold and silver in, no one will be hurt if you don't resist." If you are not honest, wait for the brothers to find out that the villager is hiding and not handing it over, don't blame us for inviting him to eat two knives, this fellow, please!"

The first traveler obediently poured out the thirty taels of silver in the money bag, and said with a sad face: "Good man, the small one is going to Huangzhou and has no landing, please do well, leave some silver for the small one to make the coil, and rebuild the ......."

There was a "pop" sound, and the big man slapped him and knocked him down on the corner of the cabin, screaming miserably.

The big man smiled, and when he got to the second passenger, he said, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

The traveler was trembling all over, panicking and untying the money bag tied to his waist, and the more panicked he became, the more he couldn't untie it, and he was in a hurry.

The big men all came in, and one of the big men grabbed the downed middle-aged passenger like a chicken and began to search his body.

The fourth passenger was him, Xu Feilong lit up two ingots and five taels of silver, put them in his arms and said: "I also lack coils, and ten taels of silver are feeling shy in my pocket." How about making a friendship and lending me a thousand taels of silver?"

The big man was stunned, and immediately rolled his eyes, put down the hat full of gold and silver, and took a vicious step forward.

Xu Feilong smiled and said, "That's it, it's a good thing to have more gold and silver, you should be generous, call your leader to come, and give two thousand to make a pair." ”

The big man was furious and slashed his palm at the base of his neck.

Xu Feilong clasped the other party's hand and twisted his body.

With the sound of "gram", the big man's arm bone was broken.

"Bang!" the big man did a front flip, fell to the ground on his back, and fainted.

The thieves were shocked, and the leader roared angrily and swung his sword straight up.

Xu Feilong snorted coldly and said, "Whoever moves the knife at me will be killed." ”

The big man covered his ears with his hands in horror. The voice was not loud, but it shook the eardrums, so that the big man couldn't stand it, and the knife almost fell from his hand, and he exclaimed: "Hey...... You ......"

"Drop your sword, and tell your chief to return the traveler's belongings, and don't forget to send me two thousand taels of silver to wrap around. ”

"You...... Why?"

"By my name. ”

"You are?"

"I'm Xu Feilong. ”

The big man was like a thunderbolt, and he took two steps back in horror.

"Go and call your princes. Xu Feilong shouted coldly.

"This ......"

"Get out!"

Two big men burst out of the hatch, followed by the other two.

Xu Feilong pulled out the hole flute, put it on the left shoulder of the leader of the big man, lowered his face and asked, "Do you dare to listen?"

The big man was trembling all over, and his cracked mouth resisted the heavy pressure on his shoulders, but with a sound of "porphyry", he fell to the ground.

"I listen, I listen......" the big man screamed in pain.

Xu Feilong retracted his flute and shouted, "Why don't you get out of here?"

Outside the hatch, a large group of heroes poured in, and two tall and majestic middle-aged men stepped into the hatch. The leader of the man had a leopard head ringed around his eyes, a bladed axe was inserted in his waist, and we opened our chests, revealing our furry chests, and asked in confusion: "Is it Xu Feilong?"

"You don't believe it?" Xu Feilong asked coldly.

"Is the Xu Feilong who made a big fuss in Nanchang and was suspicious in Weizhen?"

"Not bad. ”

Dahan stretched out his strong hand and said, "I am a fish and tiger Duan Jiao, I have been looking up for a long time, and I have offended a lot." ”

In ancient times, unlike modern times, there was a handshake etiquette. Of course, Duan Jiao stretched out his hand not to shake hands with Xu Feilong, but to salute his arm. In ancient times, if people in the rivers and lakes were not close friends, they would never salute their arms, because there were fears of accidents when they were close to each other, and of course there were people who were not familiar with each other who stretched out their hands at will, which was to show provocation and competition. I want to compare.

He also stretched out his hand and said with a faint smile: "It's easy to say, it's a good thing to say, it's a good luck." ”

A pair of iron arms held it. The fish tiger Duan Jiao's palm is extremely big, but it can only buckle a little more than half of Xu Feilong's forearm, and his thumb is clasped around Xu Feilong's Quchi*** The strength is like a torrent. If you change someone else, it can not only make the right half of the opponent's body sore, but even crush the arm.

Xu Feilong didn't realize it, and said with a smile: "Your brother robbed my boat, how do you want to deal with the aftermath?"

In these two sentences, the face turned from red to white, the green tendons on his forehead were beating, the steel teeth were clenched, and the muscles in his body were tense as if they were about to burst. Then, a big drop of sweat rolled down, like a deflated ball, his face was gray, his body was soft, and he said weakly: "Brother has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, how much offense, I have nothing to say, brother compensates you." Not long ago, news came from Shangjianghu. Knowing that Brother Xu was walking down, he didn't expect to pass by us today. If he had known Brother Xu's whereabouts, the brother would have sent someone to greet him in advance. ”

Xu Feilong let go of his hand and sneered: "Brother lacks entanglement, so he came very slowly, I didn't expect Brother Duan's brother to block the river and loot me, a poor man who has nothing." ”

"Brother damn it, damn it, I don't know ...... Brother Xu took this boat"'

"Humph!"

"Brother bold, please Brother Xu to linger in the next place for some time......"

"Excuse me. ”

"If Brother Xu doesn't dislike it, don't refuse. The brother has a small friendship with the Seven Star Alliance, and he has the same origin on the road, so he is not an outsider. Brother Xu is here, the brother is very honored, please reward the brother for the honor of receiving Brother Xu. ”

"I have to rush to Wuchang, and I can't be mistaken. ”

"This ...... Brother Xu......"

"Do you know I'm missing a coil?"

The brother immediately sent someone to send Cheng Yi. ”

"Do you know how much I need?"

Yuhu laughed and said, "Although my brother is poor, I can barely get together three or five hundred and two Cheng Yi!"

"Hmph, do you know that I extorted 5,000 taels of gold in Nanchang, Jiangxi?"

Yuhu Duan Jiao's face changed, and he took a cool breath and said, "Brother Xu, you're not joking, are you?"

"You and I have never known each other, what are you kidding?"

"You...... What do you mean......"

"You know what I mean. ”

"Brother Xu, you clearly said it, Duan Mou will see if he can afford to entertain him, of course my brother is not a God of Wealth Bodhisattva......"

"Of course you are not the God of Wealth Bodhisattva, as the saying goes: good wealth is hard to give away, how can you give away your ill-gotten wealth?"

"Since Brother Xu doesn't forgive, then, I have nothing to say, please Brother Xu draw the line, Duan will receive Your Excellency according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. "The fish tiger is quite heroic.

"Okay, I'll go to visit Brother Duan in three days, three days of preparation, three days, Brother Duan should be ready. ”

"Brother Xu......"

"Now, you go, of course you must leave the ship's belongings, or it will be inconvenient. ”

Another big man saw that the two sides were stiff, and hurriedly spoke: "Brother Xu, you are an understanding person, we don't know that Brother Xu is on the boat, if we know, we don't dare to alarm Brother Xu's tiger driving, unintentional mistakes, forgivable." The same origin on the road, red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves, all of them are their own people, don't you laugh off the big teeth of Yunmo Shuangqi when you pass it out? Shuangqi is the mortal enemy of our people, and our hopes are completely pinned on Brother Xu, counting on Brother Xu to vent his anger for us, but Brother Xu is not allowed to survive because of some misunderstanding, which is equivalent to fighting in the same room, and brothers cannibalism, isn't it cold? Brother Xu doesn't read it, never thinks about it, and we have a small friendship with the Seven Star Alliance......

"Hmph! Your Excellency is very eloquent. ”

"Don't dare to be Brother Xu's false praise. ”

"What's your last name?"

"The brother 'Jingshan' is called Octopus, and he is ranked sixth, and the brothers call the brother Jing Liu. ”

"Okay, for your brother's sake, I won't pursue today's matter. ”

"Thank you, Brother Xu, I am grateful. ”

"Your method of searching and scraping away the poor and vicious is too unspeakable, and there is a way to steal, and you have done too much, leaving no way for the poor to live. ”

"Brothers, brothers If so, the brother asks. Octopus patted his chest and said.

Yuhu Duan Yan also said sincerely: "Brother promises to act according to the rules in the future, otherwise the heavens will be destroyed." ”

"Believe me, you can go. Oh, Brother Duan, are you familiar with the Wuchang area?"

"Do you mean the vicinity of Fucheng? Brother is very familiar, what are your orders?"

"Who is Yunmo Shuangqi's best friend in Wuchang?"

"Oh! this ......"

"I'm looking for someone with the strongest martial arts and profound skills. ”

"Their best and most friendly friend is Xu Changqing of the Xu family on the left side of Jianghan Academy on West Street in the county. The highest martial artist is the laughing monk Zhiyuan of Hongshan Temple, who is Mo Fei's confidant. ”

"How are the two of them?"

"Into the clouds and dragons squander wealth and righteousness, and rarely ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes......"

"Praise is from your mouth, and this man must be a righteous man. ”

Yuhu smiled and said, "Although we are not good things, we still respect those real heroes and heroes. ”

"What about the laughing monk?"

"Jealous and hateful, ruthless, killing with a smile, leaving no room for anything, is a wine and meat monk who does not quit drinking and killing delicious dog meat, people are decent, but they are ruthless, the method of killing people with a smile is really chilling, who on the rivers and lakes does not know that he is a laughing Bodhisattva who kills stars and reincarnates?"

"Okay, I'll look for him. Can you send someone to Hongshan Temple in my name within two days to give him a letter of appointment?"

Yuhu patted his chest and said with a smile: "Brother, you can definitely do it, my fast boat here can be lowered for more than 400 miles in a day and night, and it can also go about 200 miles against the current." ”

"Then, Brother Duan, I will meet him in front of Hongshan Temple at noon the day after tomorrow. ”

"It can be delivered early the day after tomorrow. ”

"Thank you. Brother Duan is asked to return the passenger's belongings. ”

"Brother obeys, less accompaniment. ”
