At the beginning of the meeting, everyone's hearts were relieved, Zhou Shanmin was not lightly injured, and after saying these many words, his face showed pain again. Yu Chengzhu said: "Master Zhou, what happened to your injury?" Zhou Shanmin smiled: "It's just a small injury, it's not in the way." Monk Chaoyin woke up suddenly and said, "You see that I am so confused, and when I talk to you, I forget that the young master of the village is injured." Young village master, your injury is not serious, it is not light, if you want to heal completely, I am afraid you will have to recuperate for a month. Shi Cuifeng nodded yes. Monk Chaoyin frowned again and said: "But saving soldiers is like fighting fires, if you wait for a month, the coastal residents are only afraid that the poison will be more intense." ”

Zhou Shanmin suddenly said: "It's okay, Master Chaoyin, I will introduce you with a new reinforcement." Yu Chengzhu's heart moved, and said, "You mean Bi Qingtian?" Zhou Shanmin smiled: "You also know his reputation? Haha, a few months ago, I made an alliance with him in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, and married Jinlan. Master Chaoyin, this person is arrogant and dry, and he is indeed a rare hero among the younger generations. and thy temperament must be like. ”

Yu Chengzhu frowned slightly and was silent. Monk Chaoyin was full of interest, and asked Zhou Shanmin about Bi Qingtian's personality and origin, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Bi Daofan's son, so he should call me Uncle Shi." Bi Daofan had a good relationship with the Chaoyin monk before his death, and the Chaoyin monk heard that the son of the old man was the "big dragon" of the five northern provinces, and his heart was happy.

Zhou Shanmin said again: "Without further ado. Master Chaoyin, your horse is fast, I will deliver my arrow to you, and I will give you another letter, you will rush to the gate of Yanmen for me, and pass on my arrow. Tell them to immediately sneak into the pass and gather in Yiwu, Zhejiang, and my injuries will definitely heal at that time. I personally took them there, the old nest outside the Yanmen Pass, leaving one-twelfth of the manpower, I think it is enough. Then I repaired the book to Brother Bi Xian and asked him to lead the men and horses to Zhejiang to join the teacher. Monk Chaoyin said: "Okay, then Bi Qingtian, who will pass on the message?" Shi Cuifeng said: "I also know Bi Qingtian, I'll go to Shandong to send him a message!" Monk Chaoyin said: "It would be great if you could go, but the master of Zhou Zhai also needs to be taken care of by his side, is there no suitable person besides you?"

Zhou Shanmin was hesitating to himself, and Yu Chengzhu suddenly said: "I also have several relationships with Bi Qingtian, so why don't I go." Chaoyin monk said happily: "Haha, it turns out that you also know Bi Shi's nephew, so it's best for you to go." Yu Chengzhu's expression was calm, but his heart was full of ups and downs. She didn't want to see Bi Qingtian, but thinking of the master's teachings on weekdays, it is the responsibility of my generation to introspect and help the poor.

The Chaoyin monk has a rough temperament, where can you see this little child's mind. After laughing, he muttered: "There is also the anti-Japanese rebel army in Taizhou, the situation is critical, at least there must be a competent person to report the news, so as to boost the morale of the army." Zhou Shanmin frowned and sighed: "Go deep into the land of tigers and wolves, and pass the book for thousands of miles." This burden is not something that anyone can bear. The subordinates of the Golden Dao Village here, I am afraid that no one is up to this heavy responsibility. ”

Zhao Ping'an never spoke, and suddenly said at this moment: "If the master of Zhou Zhai can trust the poor road, he might as well go through the poor road." Zhou Shanmin was overjoyed and said, "If the true monarch is willing to go, it would be better." It's just that Zhenjun is a master in the world, and Zhou Moucai doesn't dare to invite him. Zhao Ping'an said indifferently: "Although Poor Dao is an outsider, he is also a Chinese people, and the Japanese are rampant, and Poor Dao can't stand idly by." And I heard that the Japanese are fierce and vicious, inhumane, and under the sword under the sword of the poor Dao, it is precisely to be stained with the blood of such a fierce fang. ”

Monk Chaoyin was silent for a moment, and said miserably: "What Tianxuan Zhenjun said is extremely true, as long as you go to the coastal area to see, you have to fry your belly and split your eyes." I have seen with my own eyes, there are more than a dozen Japanese robbers, pouring a large group of babies in their thirties with a big pot of boiling soup, the babies are crying and wailing and struggling, but those widows are clapping and laughing beside them. Unfortunately, I was one step too late that day, and although I killed all the widows, the babies could not be saved. I couldn't sleep for several nights because of this. Ordinary pirates, determined to plunder, and after plundering, they roar away; the pirates are hundreds of times more vicious than ordinary pirates, and after they plunder, they will commit adultery, they will kill them, and finally they will set a fire to burn the village down.

The people of Zhou Shan were angry, gritted their teeth and said: "If these thieves are not exterminated, we will be in vain as chivalrous people." "Grab the wolf's hair, and keep writing. In less than an hour, the three letters were written one by one. The Chaoyin monk was the most anxious, brought a letter and an arrow, hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and headed north. Yu Chengzhu said: "Senior Tianxuan, my horse is fast, or you can ride my horse." Zhao Ping'an said with a smile: "The poor road is going to cross the Yangtze River in the south." Although BMW is good, the southbound is not good. Yu Yatou should hurry up and invite the big dragon head to help. Yu Chengzhu's face turned red, flew on the horse, and whipped eastward.

Zhao Ping'an shook his head and smiled, put away the letter, said goodbye to Zhou Shanmin and his wife, fluttered his big sleeves, and went straight south. Using the secret method of shrinking the land into inches, within half a day, I arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River, found a small boat, followed the river breeze, and went down quickly. Zhao Ping'an stood on the bow of the boat, looked at the place where the water and the sky met, and sighed: "The great rivers and mountains are not allowed to be insulted by foreigners." ”

The boat is like an arrow, straight to the center of the river, suddenly see a big boat upstream, the bow of the boat is carved into a cone, the boat is incomparably large, there are two floors, there seem to be many people on the ship's floor, are drinking and having fun there, the strings are fine, with the river breeze to the ear, at a glance, the board of the boat is densely packed with people, all of them are men with thick bodies, they have to compose songs, the singing is rough with a sad charm. Zhao Ping'an listened for a moment and said, "Although the flowers are fragrant, they are scattered. This is a Japanese cherry blossom song. The boat at the stern of the boat also stopped paddling and shouted, "The Taoist chief is right, this is the tribute boat of the Japanese slaves." ”

Zhao Ping'an frowned and said: "How can you let the Japanese boat walk on the Yangtze River?" The boat said: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, the Japanese slaves are very cunning, they are plundering along the coast, and on the other hand, they are doing smuggling business in the name of tribute. Zhao Ping'an said: "Is there such a thing?" Zhouzi sighed and said: "The official city department also treats them as guests." It turned out that during the orthodox (Yingzong) period of the Ming Dynasty, during the "Warring States Period" in Japan, the daimyo (Zhuhou) from all over the country supported troops and divided the territory, and these daimyo vied to send tribute ships to China, because according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty's "Shibosi" (customs), the "tribute" brought by foreign envoys and the "private goods" purchased when they left could be tax-free, and those daimyo took advantage of this to do smuggling business in order to make huge profits. When the Ming Dynasty asked about the incident of harassment by the Japanese pirates, they said that they were the "ronin" of their own country, and the government could not control it, but in fact, nine times out of ten, these "ronin" were supported by the daimyo from all over Japan, or even directly sent to loot the goods.

The Japanese tribute boat is getting closer and closer, the boat made a skill, turned the bow of the boat, immediately turned the direction, suddenly, rowed out more than ten zhang of land, suddenly saw a fishing boat in the river, there was an old fisherman and a woman on the boat, it seemed to be his daughter, was passing near the tribute boat, those Japanese ronins on the boat tower "Ya Yi woo" screamed nonsense, a hundred oars rowed, and actually chased the fishing boat. Zhouzi shouted, "No, they want to catch this fisherman." ”

Zhao Ping'an smiled coldly, waved the sleeves of his robe, and threw a silver ingot on the ship's board. shouted: "Boatman, you have bought this boat." "I saw that the tribute boat was able to catch up with the fishing boat, and someone on the boat threw two hooks to hook the fishing boat. Zhao Ping'an's feet were urged, the boat sailed between the two boats like an arrow, Zhao Ping'an pointed and clamped, a hook should be broken by the finger, and the other was on Zhao Ping'an's boat, and the people on the tribute boat pulled hard, and the boat went straight to the tribute boat.

The Japanese ronin on the tribute ship scolded one after another: "Eight grid red deer!" Said that it was too late, it was fast, two ronins pulled out the knife and jumped over, Zhao Ping'an swept up like lightning, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the throat of a ronin, a pull and a twist, a ronin was pushed directly into the water, another ronin jumped on the bow of the boat, the snow bright knife slashed straight and slashed, Zhao Ping'an turned around and shrunk, the knife split the air, Zhao Ping'an grabbed the ronin's right wrist with his backhand, clicked, and broke the wrist bone, the ronin's scream just exited, Zhao Ping'an pushed and sent, the knife passed through the back of the heart from the front, and then flew up with a kick, kicked the body of the widow down the Yangtze River, and the river surface was dyed red when he landed。
