Chapter 645

Jianzhou territory of the Weishui canal, merchant ships, deck.

Mu Nanzhi, wearing a cloak to keep out the cold, sits on a big chair with a cushion. She holds Bai Ji in one hand and a bamboo pole in the other.

On the left side, there is a table and two chairs with a small stove burning a pot of fish.

Xu Qian and Miao Youfang are sitting at the table, eating fish.

Bai Ji pokes her head out of Mu Nanzhi's arms and looks at her with black eyes.

"It's either fish or bacon these days. I can't pull out the shit I eat."

Miao Youfang scolded.

Xu Qian slapped him with his backhand, patted him off the chair, and then waved to Bai Ji.

Bai Ji broke away from the embrace of the princess and ran to Xu Qi'an's feet with her happy four short legs. She held her head high and looked at him.

Xu Qi'an picks up Bai Ji and puts a piece of soft and tender fish belly meat on the bowl. Bai Ji buries her face in the bowl and takes a small bite.

"Your progress is very fast. I estimate that with another month's training, you will be able to step into five grades of strength. At that time, as long as you don't kill yourself and provoke top people, you can go anywhere

Xu Qi'an drank a mouthful of turbid wine, which was somewhat gratifying.

They went down to the 100000 mountains in southern Xinjiang.

There are only three people in the small team, one fox.

Among the members of the heaven and earth society, Li Miaozhen is chivalrous and courageous. He likes to be chivalrous and righteous. When the disaster is raging, the people all over the country are in dire straits. He always wants to do something, so it's hard to stay with Xu Qi'an.

Chu Yuan Zhen was a wild and uninhibited swordsman. He lived all over the world and had no fixed place. He yearned for freedom at will.

On the way of travelling in the river and lake, he is most happy to meet his old friends, have a drink and enjoy his friendship and hatred. When the wine is over and the business is over, he will set foot on the journey to pursue his kendo.

Master Hengyuan and the saint have the same mentality. It's the duty of monks to be merciful and save the world.

As for why Li lingsu didn't go south with him...

on that day, everyone woke up in the morning and the son had already left.

Leave a letter to the members of the heaven and earth society, which means that I have made a breakthrough in my mood recently. I want to go on the road alone and understand the true meaning of being too forgetful.

In fact, when he left, the members of the heaven and Earth Society knew all about him, and they knew all about his accomplishments.

Lying in a warm quilt, Xu Qi'an sang a farewell song to Shengzi in his heart:

that night, we knew you were going, but we didn't say a word......

when you took off your glory, I could only leave a smile in my heart......

after Shengzi left, Xu Qi'an released Dongfang Wanqing, and Chai xing'er was still locked up in the pagoda of futu for a regular visit Feed them, call them out to wash regularly, and let Miao Youfang wash the toilet regularly as coolie.

At this time, Zhu Guanshi, the person in charge of the merchant ship, came in a hurry and said in a respectful voice:

"great Xia Miao, there is Jinshui beach ahead. The current is gentle, and there are often bandits blocking the river for robbery. Generally speaking, as long as you pay money, you can go there. "

Seeing Miao Youfang nodding, he continued:

"if there is no accident, you don't have to do it."

Miao Youfang's arrogant "um" kept his "expert" demeanor.

Zhu Guanshi bowed down.

This merchant ship belongs to Jianzhou chamber of Commerce. It is going to do business in Yuzhou. Miao Youfang is now a guest minister recruited by Jianzhou chamber of Commerce and is responsible for the safety of the merchant ships going south.

Xu Qi'an's identity is not exposed, but a mediocre follower.

The merchant ship sailed for half an hour, and the current began to level off. After another quarter of an hour, the speed of the ship was very slow.

We have to rely on the boatman at the bottom to paddle.

Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng.

Xu Qi'an looked to the left bank and saw dozens of boats coming through the waves at a very fast speed.

Before that, they were still well anchored on the shore. When the merchant ships entered the gentle Valley, more than 100 water bandits on the shore immediately jumped on the boat, rowed their oars and came close like chopping waves.

This is a kind of boat with two sharp ends. It's only three feet wide, with two oars and one oar. It's light and swift

Zhu Guanshi was stunned and pale.

Miao Youfang looked at him: "not before?"

Zhu Guanshi calmed down, and his face was still ugly. He said with a bitter smile:

"I've walked this waterway several times. Before, there were only 20 or 30 water bandits, but now there are more than 100. This, this appetite is also big... "

Xu Qi'an suddenly asked:" what are these boats called? "

"It's a gun boat. It's famous for its agility. It's a boat used by water bandits."

Zhu Guanshi is in a bad mood and has patience to explain:

"in the river basin with gentle water, merchant ships are not as fast as these boats. The guns in their hands are used to pierce the bottom of our ship. Guns are not their only means, and there is fire oil to burn the ship. "As he spoke, the gunboats were less than three feet away from the merchant ship. Zhu Guanshi went to the side of the ship, took a breath, arched his hands and said in a loud voice:

"heroes, I'm Zhu Wen. All brothers are brothers in the world. It's not easy to come out and make a living. Zhu has prepared fifty Liang silver coins for you brothers. I hope it's convenient."

Fifty taels of silver is a considerable sum of money for passers-by.

During his time as a watchman in the capital, Xu Qian earned fifty-two yuan a year without food or drink.

"Fifty Liang, where are the beggars?"

From a gunboat came the jeers.

Zhu Guanshi and others went along the line of fame. It was a man in black and a cloak, with a knife at his waist, standing firmly in the bow of the boat.

He was in his early thirties, with rough, dark skin and sharp, rebellious eyes.

Steward Zhu didn't know him. He had the impression that the leader of the gang was a martial arts man named "wild mandarin duck". He practiced the cultivation of Qi State, and he was still strict with the rules. If he gave money, he would give it to him.

"You are not a wild mandarin duck, where is he..."

just as he began to follow the sound, the man in the cloak jumped up and smashed the merchant ship in the bow.

Boom!

The bow of the whole ship sank suddenly, which made the people on board shake and nearly fall.

The man in black sweeps Miao Youfang, who is the only one standing still, and several boat guards with bows and swords on their backs, and says: "there are still some trainers.

"Wild mandarin duck? You mean the underdog? He's been decapitated by me, but I'm still righteous. I take good care of his mother-in-law. "

Zhu Guanshi said in a deep voice:

"you can tell me how much silver you want."

The man in black raised his hand and opened his fingers: "this number."

Five hundred Liang......

"don't make a joke, sir," said Zhu in a deep voice

The net profit of the whole ship's cargo is less than 500 Liang.

The man in Black said with a smile:

"we not only want money, but also women. There are so many brothers under our hands that we can't live without women.

"I'll give you a compromise. One woman is worth ten Liang, and the one with good looks is worth twenty Liang."

With that, he looked at mu Nanzhi beside Xu Qian, and said, "tut" in disgust:

"with this kind of goods, five Liang silver can't be more, it's enough for brothers to have fun for a few days."

Mu Nanzhi has a sneer on her face.

"When you come out to mix up in the world, don't do anything absolutely..."

ZHU Guanshi, who was trying to persuade him, suddenly choked, because at this time, the man in black was deliberately facing the sun, and his skin had a faint light.

Six products, copper skin and iron bone!

In case of fierce stubble, Zhu Guanshi's face changed slightly. He couldn't help looking at Miao Youfang.

Generally speaking, when you meet a master of this level, you can only recognize him.

Zhu Guanshi was not sure about Miao Youfang's standard, so he had to give him the decision-making power. Zhu believes that Miao Youfang will weigh the pros and cons.

"Mother in law, my patience is limited!"

The man in black came to the table, grabbed the jug, took a sip and whistled.

With a few thuds, a dozen iron hooks were entangled on the side of the boat, and the bandits climbed up along the rope.

The water bandits who did not climb with ropes pointed their long guns at the bottom of the boat, or opened the fire oil jar, waiting for the order of the man in black to chisel the boat and burn it.

They are water bandits, but they are not businessmen. Who can bargain with you?

After the bandits got on the boat, the man in Black said:

"search inside and take all the women out."

Also pointed to Mu Nanzhi: "this woman also takes away, but does not calculate the silver, when an addition."

Tone relaxed, but not lax, the right hand is always pressed on the handle.

Immediately, two water bandits went to Mu Nanzhi, holding a knife and making a vicious gesture.

Suddenly, bang bang two, water bandit just close to Mu Nanzhi, was a huge force shock fly, spit blood to the ground.

In the face of the man in black, Xu Qi'an put his hand around his neck:

"let them go down."

"Down, down, all down..."

the man in black was full of panic, and his mood was the same as that of manager Zhu just now - he had encountered a hard stubble.

The bandits were in a commotion. Unexpectedly, they killed the former leader in one move. In front of this ordinary man, they were as weak as a quail.

Just a valet is so powerful, and the strength of great Xia Miao is more terrible than I thought..... Zhu Guanshi was surprised.

Along the way, Xu Qian regarded himself as Miao Youfang's follower.

The water bandits swarmed in and out.

"Your honor, I have something to discuss. Today I have eyes but I don't know a master."

People in black are sincere and imploring.He believes that unless the other party doesn't want the cargo of the whole ship, he won't be caught dead with himself.

Sometimes, water bandits like them are not afraid of masters at all, because many masters will compromise because of casualties, goods and other reasons.

You don't have to use your life to do things with money.

Sure enough, Xu Qi'an didn't kill him and asked, "where is the person?"

"Yuzhou!"

After a question and answer, Xu Qi'an knew that the man in black was Sun Tai. He was from Yuzhou and was wanted by Yuzhou government for committing crimes.

This made it impossible for him to set up a gang somewhere, because the court's wanted order was shared among the States.

Sun Tai began to roam the world. Although he was happy, he was a lone wolf.

With the winter of this year, the cold disaster everywhere, the order between the continents is crumbling, no one will pay any attention to him as a wanted criminal.

Sun Tai began to take over the exiles and other scattered people in the river and lake, and took over water as king here. Now he has 100 water bandits under his command, which is quite a good force.

According to the development of the situation, if it goes on like this, the similar bandits and water bandits will become the volunteers who overthrow the imperial court, or the "Princes" who separate their strongholds, and become part of the great avalanche.

"Want to live?" Asked Xu Qian.

Sun Tai immediately nodded.

Xu Qian pointed to Miao Youfang: "kill him, you can live, I will not interfere."

Then he said to Miao Youfang:

"this is your first test. Two quarters of an hour later, you come to see me with his head. If you fail, the friendship between you and me will come to an end. "

Two times, Xu Qian kicks sun Tai and Miao Youfang out of the merchant ship, and they fall toward the shore.

He then asked Zhu Guanshi to break down and stop at the same place to watch the battle side by side with mu Nanzhi.

Zhu Guanshi was stunned. He didn't expect that this Valet was the main one.

Seeing his dignified look, mu Nanzhi asked:

"worried about Miao Youfang?"

"I'm thinking, if I'm Duke Wei, how can I deal with these martial artists who break the ban by force?" Xu Qi'an whispered.

Dafeng's enemies are not only the rebellious party in Yunzhou, but also the people in the Jianghu who take advantage of the situation to make trouble, as well as the refugees who go wherever they go to get food.

...

Wang Fu, in the study.

Wang Shoufu, with a decadent look, held a hand baking stove, pointed to the table and asked: "Erlang, this is a discount from all over the world. Since winter, banditry has been serious in all parts of the world. The scattered people in the river and lake take advantage of the situation to gather the refugees and rob their families. Internal and external troubles.

"Today, your Majesty's palace rebukes you and asks you how to solve it? What's your opinion

Xu Erlang knows that Wang Shoufu is testing him.

Similar examinations have happened from time to time in the past few months.

After a sip of tea, Wang Shoufu said slowly:

"you are too junior to convince the public in the Wang party. I don't know when I will get better. Maybe I won't get better.

"It's a pity that the team has been in business for so many years has been handed over to others."

Xu's eyebrows are silent in the new year.

"Don't worry, just give me a reply in three days." Wang Shoufu waved his hand wearily:

"go ahead."
