Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 68, Meet a Lot
When Xu Ke was anxious and helpless, an official ship came in the distance. It turned out that Li Chengfeng, the prefect of Suzhou, learned that the king of Wei was boating on the lake today, and he was afraid of accidents, so he personally took someone to take the official boat and came downwind......
Thanks to the prefect's carefulness, Xu Ke saw that an official ship was coming, and he hurriedly beckoned from afar. When the boat got closer, Xu Ke struggled to push Li Zhen and Xue Tao to the deck, and he was already tired.
Li Chengfeng has lived in the south for a long time, and he has some ways to rescue people who are drowning. He saw that Wei Wangwu was unconscious, so he hurriedly ordered Li Zhen to turn sideways down, until Li Zhen vomited several mouthfuls of lake water, and woke up with a "uh ......" and turned around, and finally let go of a hanging heart. The prefect of Li ordered people to carry Li Jin into the inner cabin, set up a heater, took off all Li Jin's wet clothes, wiped them clean, changed into warm cotton shirts, and lay on the couch. The prefect asked someone to cook ginger soup and personally fed Li Zhen to drink......
At the bow of the ship, Xu Ke ordered the helm and a group of sailors to continue southward until the painting boat sank nearby, and all the boatmen, handymen, and soldiers who were struggling in the water, relying on some broken wooden planks to prevent them from sinking, and crying for help, were all rescued on the official ship. At this time, the giant turtle with a body like a mountain, and the fat boy on the back of the turtle, were gone.
Xu Ke asked the helm of the painting boat to count the number of people, and only when he saw that all the people had boarded the boat did he put his mind at ease. The official ship turned around and headed north, and those who were rescued, no one answered, and they were so passive in the water that they were cold, thinking that they could not be spared, and they could still be rescued on the boat, so they were all busy bowing to Xu Ke to thank him. After all, Xue Tao was a martial artist, and after changing into clean clothes, his expression was as usual......
The official ship traveled quickly, and it had already docked at the beginning of Shen. Xu Ke and Xue Tao escorted Li Zhen, the king of Wei, to Qin to stay in Qin, and the prefect of Nali had invited the most famous Lang Zhong in Suzhou City to come......
Lang Zhong took the pulse for Li Jin, and then Dao Qincha was just drowning and frightened, and the cold entered the body, there was no major problem, just take the medicine according to the prescription, and he would be cured in a few days. Before leaving, Lang Zhong earnestly told King Wei to recuperate quietly for the past three days, and not to be tired......
A trip to the lake in the first day was originally a pleasing act to the eye, but unexpectedly it made a mess and almost killed people, but fortunately Xiqin was unharmed. Xue Tao, the general of the right feather Lin Wei, was guarding Li Jin's bedside, constantly blaming himself in his heart. The prefect Li Chengfeng also kowtowed again and again, claiming that he was not well protected as a magistrate, which caused Qin Cha to be frightened. However, the King of Wei, who was lying on the bed, waved his hand to show that he did not blame everyone, but just suffered a false alarm for no reason......
After nightfall, Xu Ke tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, remembering that the fat boy who flew on the back of the turtle during the day was not his second brother Zhu Wuineng, who had been separated from him for many days......
At this time, it was already midnight, there were only some faint stars in the sky, the vast Taihu Lake water, rippling with the wind, and there was no figure by the lake. Xu Ke stood there and shouted a few words loudly: "Second brother...... Second brother, where are you?" the voice faded into the north wind's call......
Xu Ke looked around, only to see the lake slapping against the gravel on the shore, but where was there half of Zhu Wu's incompetent figure?
"Second brother...... I know you're in the lake......"
"Second brother...... I miss my brother very much, can I come out and see him?"
"Second brother...... Foolish brother is waiting here......"
After a moment, Xu Ke suddenly saw a huge gap in the water in front of him, and a fat figure jumped out of the crack. As soon as the man jumped on the shore, he smiled at Xu Ke and said, "That...... Big brother...... It's been a long time...... Big brother has always been okay?......"
It was none other than Zhu Wucan, who had broken up with Xu Ke for three months, who jumped onto land from the lake late at night. Xu Ke couldn't help but be surprised when he saw his second brother appear, stepped forward and hugged Zhu Wucan's fat body tightly, and said with a smile: "Second brother...... It's really you! Foolish brother wants to kill you!"
Xu Ke saw that Zhu Wuneng's clothes were not wet from the vast lake, so he said curiously: "Second brother, you obviously came up from the water, why don't you get a drop of water?"
Zhu Wuneng stroked his round belly, with a slightly naïve tone, and said proudly: "Big brother, I have a water-repellent bead on my body, and getting in and out of the water is like walking on flat ground, so naturally the slightest drop of water will not get on ......."
"Avoiding water beads, is there such a magic weapon in the world, where did the second brother come from?" Xu Ke couldn't help asking.
"This ...... This bead was given to me by the third princess......" Zhu Wuneng touched his belly and replied with a smile, his expression was a little embarrassed......
"Second brother, how could you stand on the back of that giant turtle in the daytime, as if you were fighting that monster......? You're not hurt, are you?" Xu Ke asked with concern.
"Ahem! It's okay, it's okay! I'm playing with that Yuan Lao Liu...... Yuan Lao Liu refused to obey, I should teach him a lesson......" Zhu Wuneng waved his hand.
Xu Ke took a closer look at Zhu Wucang's appearance, although his figure was still very obese, but at this time he was wearing a dark cyan Suzhou embroidered robe, wearing a free scarf, and foundation boots, and he looked chic and handsome, which was very different from his previous sloppy appearance. Looking at what he was holding in his hand, it was an "iron hoe" with a black and shiny body, and three thick and sharp iron teeth were installed at the end of the "iron hoe".
"What kind of name is your weapon, and it was also given by the third princess?" Xu Ke asked with a smile.
"This weapon...... It is called the 'three-tooth nail harrow'...... It was given by my future father-in-law, but it has some weight, big brother, you can carry it and see ......" Zhu Wuneng smiled and handed the "three-tooth nail rake" into Xu Ke's hands.
Xu Ke said in his heart that this is just an ordinary iron hoe, and there are only three teeth, what weight can it have? Then he carried it with his hand, and the weight of the material was really not light, and he didn't move at all! He was busy using his internal strength, holding the iron handle with both hands, secretly inhaling a breath of true qi, and shouting in his heart, "Get up!" Fang just lifted the three-toothed nail rake, but if he used it to swing and dance, it was just like an ordinary weapon to fight against people, but I am afraid that it would never be possible...... Xu Ke just carried his hands for a while, and then his face was already flushed, so he had to put the three-tooth nail rake on the ground again.
"Big brother...... This three-toothed nail rake was built by my father-in-law with great effort, and it weighed 1,680 pounds! With the strength of a mortal, the eldest brother could still carry it, it was amazing!" Zhu Wuneng exclaimed for no reason beside him.
"Second brother...... I can't see that you have changed like this in just three months......! Where have you been? Who is the third princess? and...... Who is the old man you are talking about? Is the second brother already married? Where is your father-in-law a blacksmith? How could he create such a powerful weapon?......" After all, Xu Ke and Zhu Wuneng had not seen each other for a long time, and at this time, when he saw that the second brother had changed so much, he couldn't help but have questions in his heart, so he asked a series of questions.
"Ahem, big brother...... These things are a long story...... Again, let's talk about it later...... By the way, the eldest brother has brought the one that was given by the old man in Suzhou City before...... That pot?" asked Zhu Wuneng.
"Oh...... That 'Jingxing pot', the foolish brother has always been with me......" Xu Ke said as he poked out the Jingxing pot from his arms and handed it into Zhu Wuineng's hands.
"Hey, who has opened this demon refining pot...... Great!" Zhu Wuneng exclaimed. He took the Jingxing pot in his hand, and when he looked closely, he saw that a clay pot that was originally dark brown had become green at this time, and the whole body of the pot was shining with clear and moist light, and he was overjoyed.
"It is a law made by an old immortal who calls himself 'Yulu Weng', he said that he has returned half of the mana of this pot, and in the future, if there are any 'spirits' below, you can use this pot to refine the ......" Xu Ke said. As he spoke, he touched his forehead with his hand again, and said in his heart, my second brother has only been seen for three months, and it seems like a different person, how can there be such a different change?
"Gotcha...... With this demon refining pot, the third princess doesn't have to worry! My future father-in-law, his magic weapon that spreads clouds and rain, I can also help him come back......" After that, Zhu Wuneng's words were not said again, he jumped and jumped into the lake, only to see that when he touched the water, the water surface suddenly separated, and when Xu Ke stretched out his hand, Zhu Wu's body had already disappeared under the water......
"Second brother...... Don't go, I still have a lot to talk to you about my brother!" Xu Ke shouted on the shore.
Xu Ke saw that Zhu Wucan't just leave, and he had left without a trace in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart, and he wandered on the shore. Unexpectedly, before the moment passed, the water surface in sight suddenly split, and Zhu Wuunable to go and return, jumped out of the middle of the water again......
"Second brother...... You're back......" Xu Kexi said.
"I was in a hurry just now, and I almost forgot about something important...... Big brother, after you return to Chang'an, hurry up and hand over this thing to someone!" Zhu Wuneng took out a piece of jade the size of a copper coin and handed it to Xu Ke's hand.
"To whom?" Xu Ke asked hurriedly.
"Xuandu Guan Master - Li Chunfeng!"
As soon as Zhu Wuneng finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to jump......
Xu Ke learned to be obedient this time, grabbed Zhu Wuineng's left hand in advance, and said:
"Second brother go slowly! I have a bitter word to persuade my brother...... Whether the second brother was the 'Marshal of Tianpeng' in the past or 'Zhu Wucang' in the mortal world now, he must always think of ......the common people! Second brother only cares about playing with your 'Yuan Lao Liu' today, do you know that there are dozens of innocent lives, and they are almost buried in your hands?!......"
"Okay, okay! I know that my eldest brother is going to talk to me about this...... The third princess is still waiting for me!" Zhu Wuneng shook his hand, and a strong force attacked, and Xu Ke had to let go of his hand. Zhu Wuinability jumped into the water, leaving the last sentence, which came from the wind:
"Big brother take care......!
Xu Ke looked at the piece of jade that Zhu Wucouldn't give him in his hand, only to feel that the jade was smooth and smooth, and the center of the stone was faintly red, knowing that this thing must be very important, so he hurriedly put it away carefully. At this time, he looked at the lake again, and saw that the lake was boundless, undulating endlessly, and couldn't help sighing, and said in his heart: "Second brother...... Take care of yourself! I will see you in a hurry tonight, and I don't know when he will meet again......"
Xu Ke wandered around the lake for a while, and when he saw that no one showed up again, he had to go back to Qincha Xingyuan, and lay down and fell asleep again......
