The water of the Yellow River was fast and turbulent, and Tong Dalong did not understand the nature of water, so he only fell into the whirlpool after only coming down in the water. Zhu Yushi was in a complicated mood, he had no intention of harming each other, but he still caused Tong Dalong to drown, but he didn't feel sorry, because he felt that Tong Dalong deserved it. He has already shown how stupid the word mercy is, and only by fighting evil with evil and becoming strong is the way to survive today. In order to protect his loved ones and friends, he decided to become such a person.

All the people in the boat looked at him in horror, and immediately became in a commotion, and cried out, "Oh my God......! He killed the men of the caravan. "Won't we be affected!" "Tie him up and hand him over to the caravan, or everyone will be unlucky." The gray-haired man approached him boldly and said, "This minister, do you know that you have caused a big disaster?" Zhu Yushi said: "Isn't it just a thief of the horse gang, as for such a fuss?" The gray-haired man said hurriedly: "It seems that the prime minister doesn't know the power of the horse gang, otherwise he wouldn't have said so." Zhu Yushi said: "One person does things and one person is responsible, this is not your business, what are you afraid of?" The gray-haired man said: "It's all in the same boat, who can say clearly." Ma Bang would rather kill a hundred wrong people than let go of one. Zhu Yushi said: "Then what do you want me to do?" The gray-haired man said: "We can clear ourselves by handing you over to the Ma Gang, but the people of the Ma Gang are really too deceitful, and you are also angry for us by doing this, how can we be embarrassed to harm you." Everyone nodded silently, and one of them said, "What should I do then?" The gray-haired man said: "It's better for us to all return to Guanzhong and wait for the wind to pass before leaving." No matter how arrogant the people of the horse gang are, they dare not come to Guanzhong to make trouble. ”

The ship's handlebar was a shirtless, swarthy strong man, and said, "Absolutely not. It was Qi soldiers who picked up the boat on the other side, and they must be suspicious when they saw the empty boat, and the first unlucky person to be our boatman was the horse gang who touched the melon. Zhu Yushi said: "I have a simple solution. As long as everyone keeps their mouths shut and doesn't spread the news. No matter who inquired about Tong Dalong, they all deduced that they didn't know, what could the Ma Gang do?" surnamed Zhou Nadao: "There are fifty mouths on the ship, who dares to guarantee that one of them will not say it?" Zhu Yushi said: "Whoever wants to talk more will think about your wives and children, and they can help but stop talking." In my opinion, Tong Dalong is also a small person in the horse gang, and no one will care. The surname Zhou Nadao: "I think Fu Xianggong's method is feasible." What do you think?" and everyone agreed, "That's it." ”

After a while, they arrived at the opposite shore, and the soldiers on the shore caught the trough boat. There was a sign on the pier that read, "Three times per person who lands." Everyone scolded in their hearts, but they also obediently handed over the money. The soldiers on the shore searched the baggage one by one, and their movements were much rougher than the soldiers of the Blood Knife Castle, and when they saw anything they liked, they took it for themselves, and everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Half of Zhu Yushi's silver taels were also confiscated.

The leader Qi Bing asked the boat commander: "I saw your boat stop in the middle of the river for a while, why?" The boat commander said: "A passenger's baggage accidentally fell into the river, and he wanted to go to the river but was stopped by us, and the argument lasted for a while. The leader said, "Oh, I said it looks like I saw something overboard." Whose luggage is that?" surnamed Zhou said: "Back to the military master's words, it is a burden under it." When the leader saw that he had not saluted, he said, "There is something good in it that makes you want to jump into the water to find it." The surnamed Zhou pretended to regret it: "There is a pair of fine exquisite jade lions, and five gold leaves, which are all the villain's belongings." I was about to cry as I spoke. The leader also lamented, "What a pity." "I also regret that I can't share a single stroke.

When the passengers came ashore, they went their separate ways, and the boatmen also left by boat. The gray-haired man and the surname Zhou live in Luoyang, and they stopped by Zhu Yushi, and the three of them rode together. After asking for his name, I learned that the gray-haired man was called Cao Sanmin, and the surname Zhou was Zhou Kai. Zhu Yushi said: "Thanks to Brother Zhou's round just now, I don't know where Brother Zhou's burden is?" Zhou Kai smiled: "I was afraid that someone on the other side would see something fall into the water, so I deliberately left the burden on the boat." If no one asks, I'll just get it back. Zhu Yushi praised: "Brother Zhou is really alert, and the younger brother didn't expect it." Zhou Kai said: "Seeing that you are the same age as me, how do you know that you are younger than me." Zhu Yushi remembered that he was wearing a human skin mask, so he said: "I guessed in the next, I rarely go out in the next, and I hope that the two brothers will give me a lot of advice." ”

Zhou Kai said: "Brother Fu was clean and neat just now, I don't know which famous kid it is." Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "I only know a few tricks and superficial kung fu, and I don't come from a famous family." Zhou Kai said: "I just asked casually, not to inquire about Brother Fu's origin, don't doubt it." Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is too worried, I don't know what valuable things are in Brother Zhou's bag?" Zhou Kai said: "It's just a few changes of clothes, and valuables are carried with you." Zhu Yushi took out a piece of silver and said, "I don't know if this money can compensate Brother Zhou's loss?" Zhou Kai said: "No, no, I just don't want to cause trouble, Brother Fu doesn't have to be like this." Cao Sanmin said: "Brother Fu doesn't want to owe favors, you just accept it." Zhou Kai said: "Okay, it's better to be respectful." Zhu Yushi said: "I should thank the two of you, if you didn't speak for me on the boat, I'm afraid that others would really hand me over to the horse gang." ”

Cao Sanmin said with a smile: "Everyone will encounter trouble, everyone in the rivers and lakes rescued, not only helped others, but also made friends, why not." Zhu Yushi thought that there are still good people in the world, so he said: "I don't know what happened to the two of you going to Guanzhong?" Zhou Kai said: "The chili peppers in Sichuan are cheap and good, so I will go to buy them." Brother Cao opened a teahouse and went to order tea. Cao Sanmin said: "We are both from Luoyang and have been friends for many years, so we travel together." What is Brother Fu going out for?" Zhu Yushi said: "I am going to the vicinity of Bianliang to find my lost relatives. Cao Sanmin said: "If you go to Bianliang, you will pass through Luoyang, please go to Brother Zhou's restaurant to sit down, and I will make you a pot of tea, and everyone will have a good chat." Zhu Yushi was very enthusiastic, so he had to say: "That's bothering, but both of you are in business, how can you be embarrassed to let you have a treat, the money for tea and dinner must be paid." Zhou Kai said with a smile: "Are you still afraid of people eating when you open a restaurant, don't be polite if you are a friend, and if you raise money again, you will look down on us." Zhu Yushi smiled: "Yes!"

The three of them chatted very speculatively, dispelling the loneliness of the journey, and came to Hangu Pass on this day, and they all paid the toll to the Qi army. Zhu Yushi saw that the terrain of Hangu Pass was steep, the city was high and the pool was deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and thought that if Luo Tianchu marched into the Central Plains, Hangu Pass would be the primary barrier.

After entering the territory of Qi State, homeless refugees were everywhere, they were haggard and tired, their clothes were torn and could barely cover their private parts, and many women's thighs and arms were exposed, but they did not care, and dignity and shame seemed worthless in the face of hunger. There are also refugees kneeling on the side of the road to sell their children and daughters, whether adults or children, their eyes are empty and indifferent, like a walking corpse. There were also nameless corpses abandoned in the wilderness, and at this time it was the height of summer, some corpses had turned into dry bones, and some had just begun to rot and stench. Zhu Yushi was in no mood to speak, his brows were furrowed, and he just wanted to vomit in his heart.

At this moment, a skinny little girl came to Zhu Yushi's horse tremblingly, knelt down directly and said: "Master, let's enjoy the stuttering, my mother and I haven't eaten for seven days, and my mother is dying." Zhu Yushi hurriedly reined in the horse, and if she took a slow step, she would have injured the child, wasn't she even afraid of death. Cao Sanmin saw a lot of such scenes, and said impatiently: "Go and go, we can't fill our stomachs, how can we eat for you." The little girl knelt indifferently, without any expression, and there was a new mark of the horsewhip on her cheek, which seemed to be not only used to being scolded, but also beaten, and had long been numb. Zhu Yushi jumped off the horse, took out two large scallion oil flatbreads from his baggage, handed them to the girl, and said, "Take it." (To be continued.) )
