Chapter 26 The twenty-sixth chapter of Fengtao Huang Shuihong's experience in distress

Qin Fengwu was brought in. His blue cloth gown was already wet by the rain, his hair was tightly pressed against his head, and the tips of his braids dripped slightly. His white and thin face looked very calm, and he didn't hesitate to enter the door. He saluted, rubbed his arm that was hurt just now, looked at several people in the room, and said to Zhang Xingren after a long time: "Master Xuetai, you have posted a notice at the gate of your yamen to arrest me. I just found out, and I came here to surrender to the police." Please excuse me, my lord." After speaking, he glanced at Tian Wenjing, then raised the hem of his robe to Zhang Xingren and knelt down calmly on the ground.

"Just you?" Tian Wenjing felt a little embarrassed for some reason, and as everyone sat down, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Such a small bug can stand up to the bed? Where is your accomplice?" "The late students have no accomplices." "What about Zhang Xi?" "Zhang Xi is not an accomplice." Qin Fengwu looked at Tian Wenjing with disdain, "I am determined to give up the exam and do a major event that will shake the world and awaken future generations. From planning to colluding with scholars and leading the sit-in, it is all done by me alone. Why. Zhang Xi is not from the province. He is just like me, just helping out with errands. He has already left Kaifeng."

Tian Wenjing saw him in his bag, and admired his courage. He stared at him and asked, "Since he is innocent, why did he run away in fear of crime?" "Are you Tian Zhitai?" Qin Fengwu sneered, and said, "I haven't been dismissed as a student yet, but I came to surrender to Mr. Zhang. You want to interrogate me?" According to the Qing system, if a scholar commits a crime, if he does not go through the Xuetai Yamen, the magistrate has no right to try him. Tian Wenjing was choked up by him, and he gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Xingren.Under his staring eyes, Zhang Xingren swallowed helplessly, and said sharply: "You have committed a serious crime, and dare to be so arrogant? If you return to the stage!"

"Well, I'll tell the truth." Qin Fengwu said, "Because Tian Zhitai is the number one unreasonable and mean person in Tianzi. Zhang Xi was instructed by me to participate in the impeachment exam. So I ran away." Looking at the astonished expressions of everyone, Qin Fengwu went on to say: "Tian Zhitai loves to kill innocent people too much. Just look at the few cases he has judged. It is only a marginal case, and only heavy sentences In the case of Chao Liu, how many people were killed? The monks and nuns headed by Baiyi Temple in Hulu Temple were burned alive, and those who served as servants were killed! More than 60 prefectures and counties and officials who have not entered the ranks of the ranks are connected with everyone, and they are all clean-is there not a single good person in them? Take meanness as wisdom and cruelty as pleasure, this is Tian Zhitai-such a If you act in your heart, you are innocent, who is willing to get involved in the case?"

Although Hongli was not very old, after he was thirteen years old, he visited several provinces on a regular basis. He saw many big officials interrogating Jiangyang robbers. , the language is rough.Qin Fengwu led the crowd as a scholar to reject the exam, resolutely surrendered, denounced Tian Wenjing's political wrongdoing face to face, and frankly stated that he was fearless and had incomplete knowledge. This kind of courage is extremely rare.He sat firmly, staring at Qin Fengwu with burning eyes, thinking about how to save him.Ke Ying and Zhang Xingren only felt that Qin Fengwu's words were what they wanted to say but couldn't say, and the more they listened, the more relieved and happy they were.

"You speak so heartily. I admire your courage." Tian Wenjing's face turned red and green, and his head became dizzy. After hearing this, he only saw Qin Fengwu's blurred face, and he didn't know what he was talking about. After a long time When he came back to his senses, he suppressed his beating heart and said in a hoarse and dull tone, "What a sharp mouth! Shouldn't Tian Wenjing be thrown into the hands of jackals and tigers? , the rich ruled Shu, and ruled with fierceness. I don't want to pretend, but I can compare it. The folk customs in Henan are stubborn, and the gangsters are afraid of executions rather than officials, because they were too lenient in the past. So I can't help being cruel. You have a reputation for harshness and ruthlessness, and you are strictly governing Yu. As a student and a famous scholar in Luoyang, you are bold and reckless. You dare to confuse the people with evil words, disrupt the country's talent ceremony, and insult the court officials. Although there is a lenient ceremony, you surrendered. I'm afraid it's not as good as you! Mr. Xingren, do people like this still stay in the gentle team?"

Zhang Xingren realized his identity only after he was sent to the army in front of him.He swallowed dryly, and said: "When the Xuezheng Yamen issued the notice, your fame has already been removed. Zhang Xi is the same, he has already written Sichuan, and he is removed as usual. After the child, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and he will return to the shore. It’s good to repent and plead guilty. You surrendered, and you have a lenient loan, and there is still a glimmer of life.” Qin Fengwu tightened his mouth, raised his head proudly, and said nothing: Tian Wenjing held back his anger and waved his hands, Li Hongsheng had already brought in two yamen servants, Qin Fengwu rubbed his numb kneeling legs, and glanced at everyone indifferently With a glance, he followed Li Hongsheng.

"That's it, it's almost dawn." Hongli suddenly felt awkward, stood up and wanted to yawn, but stopped, "According to Wenjing's disposal, go to the sea to catch the documents and take that Zhang Xi. The rest and the examinees , all those who have sat in the meditation will be recorded once. Ashanbuluo, Ke Ying and Zhang Xingren, I advise you to go and see the Yellow River embankment, write a book of apology and hand it in. From now on, don’t make trouble with Tian Wenjing again. It’s up to you whether you listen or not Something. This Qin Fengwu, Wen Jing can play another excerpt. Man, let me take it back to Beijing." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand impatiently.Several people retreated, but Hongli still didn't feel sleepy, he just felt hot and messed up, and couldn't tell what it was like.He walked out of the main room silently, stood under the eaves, let the cold wind and rain blow on his body, the drizzle falling on his neck made him feel much refreshed.There was a faint crowing of a cock in the distance of the rain curtain, and everything sank into darkness again.

"I don't see anyone today." Hongli said to Xing Jianye who was with him, "Leave early tomorrow morning. This place in Henan is too sad and boring." Hongli got up at four o'clock the next day and left Kaifeng.In order not to disturb the Chinese and military officials in the city, they left a dozen baskets of tea leaves, walking mules and other items in the post house.From Yu Hongtu came forward to bring Qin Fengwu out of the prison in the yamen, Hongli only took Liu Tongxun, Wen Liushi, Yanhong, Yingying, escorted by the Xing brothers to guard Qin Fengwu, and walked out of the north gate of the city silently.I walked down the embankment for about two miles, and saw that the river was wide, and there were only two or three boats on the ferry, and two board houses stood alone on the sandy beach next to the bridge deck.At this time, the sky was very cloudy, and there was a little light in the east, and the rain was still falling like a mist, and the sparse wheat fields on the shore were swaying their heavy bodies restlessly in the wind.Looking to the north, the dark river surface is boundless in the haze-like sleet rain, rushing down with strange roars, and disappearing into the chaotic distance.Seeing Liu Tongxun looking at the river, Hongli just murmured, and said with a smile, "Why hesitate? Go and call the door, and find a shop across the river. We haven't eaten yet!" Qin Fengwu stood beside Xing Jianzhong in a dignified manner, looking out at the vast wilderness, Without saying a word, he took out three copper coins from his sleeve, put his palms together, shook them a few times, and threw them on the beach.

"Be honest!" Xing Jianzhong said, "What the hell are you doing?" Qin Fengwu ignored him, squatted down to look at him, and shouted: "My lord! You can't cross the river now!" Liu Tongxun, who was about to knock on the door, was startled, and when he turned around to look, he saw three copper coins falling into the sand nest, because he said: "This is a trigram!—Fourth Master, I see this The weather is bad, the water is dangerous, don't rush to cross the river, wait another hour, and then cross the river when the sun is set, okay?" "'Civil' hexagram?" Hongli also turned around and took a look, then looked at Qin Fengwu again, and said, "What's so rare about this? In the past, Emperor Taizong fought with Hong Chengchou in Songshan, and he also predicted the 'successful' hexagram. Fighting fiercely for soldiers Seeking hexagrams in danger, the evil turns against the auspicious, understand? This hexagram has the words "beneficial to the adults and unfavorable to cross the river", so you are frightened. But the hexagram also said that "the sky and the water are against each other", we can do things Have you forgotten the way of 'Heaven'?" Qin Fengwu obviously did not expect this rich young man to be so knowledgeable.However, it is clearly an ominous hexagram and wants to be interpreted as auspicious, so I naturally dissatisfied, because I said: "Students are personal offenders. Drowning and killing with swords are nothing more than unlucky. The explanation clearly says that it is not good for crossing the river, and entering the abyss." If you insist on saying that, I have no choice but to obey." "Your words make a little sense." Hongli was hungry first, and also afraid of dawn, Tian Wenjing must know that he has left Bian, and there will be many troubles, and he smiles Said: "My life is tied to the sky, disobedience is bad luck. You see, on such a big boat, the boatman lives on the bank, has a family and a family, and there are no bad people. What is the difficulty in crossing this river? I will go south to Jinling. The wind and waves of the Yangtze River are twice as big as this, and it is also a river that crosses in the early morning, so there is nothing inauspicious about it."

They talked loudly outside, which had already alarmed the boatman in the cabin.The door creaked, and an old man in his sixties came out coughing, rubbing his eyes, and shouted at the board room to the west: "Ah Er Ah San, there are guests on the ferry. Do you want to stand up? The sky is cloudy, otherwise it will be early." It's bright—old lady, warm up the leftovers from Ye Lai, and we'll go to the boat!" Then an old woman in Dongbanwu agreed in a voice, and there was a sound of firewood, and the cooking smoke was coming out.The two sons also pushed the door open and went out to the boat to weigh anchor.There was a sound of iron clashing bellows and the coughing of the old man, which brought a lot of vitality to this gloomy and terrible morning.Liu Tongxun stepped forward and said to the old boatman: "Old man, we are going to cross the river, will it be possible this day-why is there only your family at this ferry?" "A new ferry has been built upstream, and there are many customers, all of whom have moved there." The old boatman took a large bowl of hot noodles from the old woman, randomly picked it into his mouth, looked at the ferry with dazed eyes, and said: " Here, there are a few boats, all on the other side, there are many people entering the city early, and there is no business here—what’s wrong with this day? As long as the river isn’t flooded, it’s still raining like hell!” While talking, Ah Er Ah San also had finished their meal, and they pulled off their skirts and wiped their mouths to untie the cable by the river in silence.Liu Tongxun looked at his two sons, both of them were strong and tall, but they were as gloomy as dumb, and felt that something was wrong, but seeing that Hongli had already moved onto the bridge board to board the boat, he had to follow along with the others.The old man steered the rudder, and the second and third each held a long pole, sailing slowly in the steep morning wind, "Yo-ho--" a trombone sounded, the two poles tapped the shore, and the big boat swung and left leisurely. the shore. The ship is very large, divided into front and rear cabins and bilges.Hongli, Wen's, Yanhong, and Yingying were sitting in the back cabin, while Liu Tongxun and the Xing brothers were guarding Qin Fengwu and sitting in the front cabin. It seemed very spacious and empty for ten people.Hongli was in a good mood at first, but when he saw Liu Tongxun's complexion was pale with nervousness, their hands were clenched, they were sitting frozen in the front cabin, looking around anxiously, everyone was so dull that they didn't say a word, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.At this time, looking out through the porthole, the vast sky and water are connected, the white waves on the surface of the water near and far are surging, the yellow water is boiling backwards, there is no sail, and the monotonous and boring creaking sound of the rudder can be heard from time to time amidst the deafening roar of the river.After about a quarter of an hour, the south bank also disappeared into the muddy water.When Hongli was blown by the humid river wind, his body shivered, and an ominous feeling suddenly rose: How did I forget the poem by Miaoshoukongkong? !In case the ship goes mid-stream, who will rescue it?What if he got on a pirate ship... He felt flustered for a while, and didn't dare to think about it any further.When I looked intently, the outer cabin was still silent, but the three women in the inner cabin seemed to be in a calm mood.In Yanhong's hand, she held a piece of raw white cloth tightly stretched with a bamboo ring, and concentrated on drawing out her embroidery needles with different silk threads one by one.Yingying still looked like a child, tossing a handful of copper coins back and forth with her palms and hands back and forth.The Wen family's expression was serene, looking at the scenery outside the boat for a while, and looking at the two girls with a smile for a while.Hongli turned his thoughts, looked at them and thought again, these two children are considered to be very good-looking, even the Wen family's, even if they go back fifteen years, they are also considered beautiful!Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "You just came, there are too many people waiting in the posthouse, and they didn't order you. Cross the river and go forward, I have to rely on you to take care of my daily life." It's up to us." The Wen family said with a smile, "The hexagram of that prisoner scholar is true. Lord, we're on a pirate ship!" The hairs on Hongli's body exploded, and he almost jumped up, his legs softened and he sat down again, looking out in panic, Ah Er Ah San was still swaying from one pole to the other on the bow of the boat, and the sound of the rudder was shaking. It was no different, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Are you going to scare me to death? If Qin Fengwu really has this ability, why don't he count himself as himself and fall to this point?" Qin Fengwu in the outer cabin couldn't help but retorted when he heard Hongli's words : "'The son of a thousand pieces of gold does not sit on the hall', a gentleman knows his destiny and does not walk in a dangerous place. Even if he crosses the river safely, my persuasion is not bad. If it is not conducive to crossing the river, it is against the order. I have a good heart and have no malicious intentions. It’s really weird to offend Tian Zaotai first, and later see that you are wronged by your lord!” Liu Tongxun saw Qin Fengwu being so bold and bold, and was about to reprimand him, when the Wen family who was sitting next to Hongli took a bag of embroidery from Yanhong’s hand Hold the needle, and said in the mouth: "I'll let my grandfather watch the excitement—" said one end, her fingers stuck in the seam of the bottom deck, and with a little force, the bottom deck made a loud "crack", and she had already lifted it off. piece. "Mother's foot, listen to the thief in the corner!" Wen's scolded, and with a wave of his right hand, more than a dozen embroidery needles shot out of his hand, and he said in his mouth: "Blind your dog's eyes!" Hongli was startled. , and heard a scream of "Oh my God" from the bilge, which seemed to be the voices of two people.Probably he was really blinded, only heard a rush of stomping, and a broken voice shouted: "Yellow water monster! Lost wind! Save us!" Almost at the same time, the big ship lost control.This place is just in the middle of the Yellow River, and the big boat is like a kite with a broken string, swaying left and right, swaying and swaying straight down the current.Xing Jianzhong pushed Qin Fengwu into the inner cabin, and guarded the cabin door himself.Xing Jianye, Xing Jianmin, and Xing Jianyi rushed out with their knives in their hands. The old boatman was holding a big knife, standing firmly on the bow of the boat like a nail. He had already torn off his beard. Big man! "Do it!" The old boatman yelled, "Whoever boards my yellow water monster boat will die or die! Ah Er Ah San deal with that little boy, I will take care of these three things!" Ah Er Ah San agreed, and pulled out the pole from the stern of the boat. It turned out that the thick arm of the pole had a three-edged steel thorn about a foot long attached to it.The eyes of the two robbers met, one looked at Yan Hong and Yingying in the cabin window, and the other stared at Wen's He Hongli to death. pass through.There was only a crackling sound, and Ah San's penny went straight through the back cabin, revealing the front cabin.Qin Fengwu stood close to the cabin door, his left hand was covered with a sharp blade, and it felt sticky, when he raised his hand to look, it was already bloody, and he fainted immediately.Hongli saw that Ah Er Ah San was coming in a bad way, in a hurry, he pulled the cross bar of the cabin roof with both hands, he didn't know where the strength came from, he turned over and was already clinging to the roof of the cabin.One of Ah Er's steel pole pierced into it was only about a foot long, but was tightly held by the Wen family's hand.Ah Er couldn't hit it, but when he pulled out the pole, how could he pull it?Ah Er was angry, anxious and strange, yelling indiscriminately.Only then did Hongli realize that he was originally a mute, and when he looked at Yanhong and Yingying, they were both fine and unscathed.I don't know what kind of movement they used to escape the vicious stab just now.In a blink of an eye, the Wen family saw a small knife for cutting paper and fruit hanging from Hongli's waist, and he said "I borrow the knife from the Lord", and it was already in his hand, and he threw it through the window with his hand, Ah Er let go of the pole and was in a hurry When hiding, where is there still time?The knife flew like lightning, piercing the center of the eyebrows and passing through the brain, Ah Er made a "hut", and Mai fell on his back on the deck, seeing that he was dead.The Wen family was overjoyed, and said: "Fourth Master, this knife is really good, did you reward the old lady?" "Okay, I'll reward you!" Hongli said loudly, "It's a red-haired national tribute, and it's been cut like mud!" Before he finished speaking, he saw Ah San's red eyes piercing him again, and hurriedly dodged.It was too late to say it, but the Wen family had already grasped the enemy's weapon with his left hand, and jumped flat to the rear window, onto the stern deck outside the rear cabin. The Yellow Water Monster at the bow and the three brothers of the Xing family had already fought each other, three-on-one, and it was almost a tie. He was staggered, and sometimes sent his body to the knife of the Yellow Water Monster. After more than seventy minutes, the three brothers were cut on their arms.Fearing that the yellow water monster would enter the cabin and hurt Hongli, they gave up their minds and stayed at the hatch rather than retreat half a step.Although the Yellow Water Monster has gradually gained the upper hand, but these three have the will to die, and they are all fighting desperately to die together. They can't help but feel anxious, and while slashing with their knives, they shout loudly: "Ah San, Is it all right?" But Ah San replied from behind: "The thief is a powerful woman, the second child is dead!" "Diving into the boat!" the Yellow Water Monster yelled, and jumped into the stormy waves as soon as it turned around.Ah San at the stern also abandoned the pole, looked at the body of Ah Er lying at the stern, raised his head to the sky and threw himself into the water with a wry laugh. There were no enemies on board, and everyone gathered around Hongli. Qin Fengwu covered his injured hand and just said, "I said 'it's not good for Dachuan', but my lords don't—" The word "faith" did not come out. , had already been slapped on the face by Xing Jianyi's boss, Xing Jianyi scolded: "It's all from your unlucky mouth, a stinky scholar! You must die on your fucking mouth!" "Don't make noise, we are in the same boat now!" Hongli was startled, anxious and annoyed, and shouted angrily, "Look outside!" Only then did everyone notice that the boat had drifted to the confluence of a big river and the Yellow River.The water surface here is even wider, and the vastness and indistinctness of both sides are blurred. The newly injected clear water and yellow water are stirring, setting off waves six or seven feet high. Lao Gao, sometimes fell to the bottom of the wave valley.Seeing that the boat was about to capsize, the Wen family shouted, "Quickly drop the sails!"Before she finished speaking, Yan Hong jumped out of the cabin, and lightly slashed the rope with a knife, the big sail fell down with a "wow", and the hull immediately felt stable.Everyone couldn't help being surprised: the hull swayed like this, and this little girl had such a means to let down the sail so easily!Dumbfounded, Yan Hong quickly turned around, picked up Ah Er's penny, plunged straight into the bottom of the river to support it vigorously, the penny was bent like a bow, and made a creaking moan.The boat slowly left the vortex, and suddenly stabilized—it was out of danger.But she was not in a hurry to return to the cabin, she lowered the anchor with a "crash" and said "Okay", Pingping Tingting returned to the cabin, looked at the sky, and said: "We have drifted down for fifty miles. The sky is fast." It's noon, hurry up and discuss a solution!" At this moment, everyone was already in a daze. "This river is the Huiji River." Liu Tongxun and Hongli got out of the cabin together, pointing to the mouth of the river to the south and said, "Twenty miles to the east, you will enter the border of Anhui. I think it's better to go down the river. The water in the front ferry is slightly weaker." Be more stable, no matter which side is on the shore, ask the local authorities to take us across the river." The Wen family said: "The boat has a pole and a rudder, so we cross the river here. On the north side of the river is Fengqiu, and there is Suoxiang Town near the bank. You can rest your feet and hit the tip, and you can speak on the water for seven or eight miles." Qin Fengwu said: "That thief said he wanted to chisel the boat, so he had to guard against it." The Wen family said with a smile: "Dragon King would not dare to go to such a dangerous place. Dive down. Besides, he was killing his life for money, so why would he be willing to dig a boat—isn’t this boat worth five or six hundred taels of silver?” Qin Fengwu said: “Maybe he was killing his life for money. Shut up!" One word reminded Hongli, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the deck, there are two thieves below!" The Wen family smiled and said: "They have been hit by my soul-dispersing needle, can they still live till now?" Open the two decks casually.When Hongli looked in, he saw two corpses curled up like prawns, eyes like dead fish protruding, bleeding from mouth and nose, motionless.Hongli couldn't help being horrified, staring at He Yanhong from Wen's family, and asked after a long time, "Are you swordsmen? I really can't see that you are a first-class red line girl!" "What kind of swordsmen are we!" "I have never seen our old man's ability! Li Zhitai has shown great kindness to our family, and the old man sent us to listen to Li Zhitai's emissary. Don't worry about other things." Everyone was talking, Yingying pointed out Upstream said: "These thieves are a gang! The yellow water monster has brought people after it!" Everyone was startled, and looked out, and sure enough, they saw two boats, one big and one small, approaching with their sails bulging.Ah San was sitting on the bow of the small boat, and there were five or six water ghosts. There were twenty people on the big boat. The yellow water monster stood shirtless at the bow, holding a big knife in one hand, pointing at Hongli and the others with the other, and shouted loudly: "It's this screwdriver that broke the sheepfold, and sank it by sinking it into the water, don't let anyone go!" The Ah San shouted, "Go into the water!" Several water ghosts dived like frogs.Hongli couldn't help crying in his heart, he didn't expect that such a disaster would be caused by a single thought, and his life would be over this time!Looking around at the crowd, he said with a sad smile: "I regret not listening to Qin Fengwu's words, and I will end up today. Which of you knows how to fight, run for your own life!" "Bright red go into the water!" Wen's family was very calm at this moment, while taking off their big clothes, they sneered, "Whether Hong Zexian is stronger or the Yellow River ghost is stronger! - You are on top to guard against the attack of the big ship!" As soon as their eyes met, the two jumped into the river together silently.Hongli Liu Tongxun stared at the water without blinking his eyes, only saw the reverse wave turbulent and the turbid current was like porridge, but he couldn't see anything.When he moved a little, a gust of red water came up near the boat, and just as someone was injured, a black-clothed water ghost had floated up.Moving his eyes a little, another stream of blood poured down from the upper stream, and a water ghost stretched out his head to take a breath. Before he finished breathing, he let out a loud "Wow", and floated up like a dead fish.Unsurprisingly, a water ghost was pulling the anchor cable to breathe. He was probably stabbed in the buttocks and floated down with a scream.While everyone was surprised, a water ghost leaned out of the water, with his hands outstretched, stepped on the water and fled towards the thief boat. With a sudden pull, he also sank... Wen's family stepped back into the boat, and Qi Yanhong also climbed up from the back, holding a dagger in one hand, and twisting her wet hair full of sand with the other, facing the Wen's family. She said: "It's all settled. I asked someone to sweep it here—" She pointed at her waist, "This thing under the boat is amazing. I have to dig out a board in my busy schedule, so I have to block it quickly!" In the fierce underwater battle that lasted less than half an hour, both the enemy and us were stunned. It wasn't until the thieves and water ghosts were all wiped out that the yellow water monster came to its senses and jumped on the bow and wailed: "Kill these bastards for me! Good boys... I have worked hard for half my life..." Seeing the big ship approaching, everyone became nervous.Hongli called the Xing family brothers and others to him, and said with a livid face: "These water bandits don't seem to be a group of people, they seem to be gathered to harm me. They don't have professional experience. If they attacked at the same time just now, we It's even more difficult to deal with... We have to fight while walking, you have to work hard, luckily escaped this difficulty, I will avenge this great revenge. In case I die here... You who are alive have to meet Huang Ama. Tell him what I said..." Thinking of Yongzheng and his mother in Beijing, Hongli's nose turned sour for some reason, and tears burst out of the corners of his eyes.Turning to Qin Fengwu again, he said: "I am the fourth elder brother in charge today, Prince Bao Hongli. I am so fateful with you, I forgive you. The bilge is leaking, you can't use force, go and plug the leak!" With tears in his eyes, Qin Fengwu kowtowed and said, "I'm determined to follow you!" He got up and ran into the back cabin.The Wen family weighed anchor and bulged the sails, and moved slowly with the rudder shaken.Because the enemy ship was intact and there were people on the pole, it came very fast, and it had already approached more than ten feet away.The thieves on the boat booed one after another: "Look at these lambs fleeing to the sky!" "Look! Three girls!" "I want the one in the red dress!" "The little one is mine!" "Old is old, I'll take care of the woman at the helm!" There was a "bang" amidst the laughter, and the two boats had already slammed into each other.Hongli and Liu Tongxun held knives in their hands, and they were knocked down at the door of the cabin, while a few burly men in the opposite cabin jumped onto the boat with a strong wind.Hongli yelled "Go!" and rushed forward with the Xing brothers. "Fourth Master," Yingying who was sitting at the door of the cabin said suddenly, "I'll deal with them! There are so many of them, so you'll suffer a lot if you fight like this!" As she said, she threw a handful of coppers in her hand to play with. In the past, those four people were not able to stand firmly, and each of them was hit by a dart. Three of them fell into the water with their backs upside down, and only one staggered slightly. He swung his knife and shouted, "Follow me!" . "Okay, you're stronger than them!" Yingying smiled and raised her hand, "Any more money?" A copper shot shot out, hitting the man's temple, and the man fell into the water without even humming.Seeing that the two boats were a little farther away, Yingying simply carried the string of small coins to Wen's side at the bow of the boat. Seeing that the enemy boat was getting closer, there was a handful of copper coins, and shouted, "Give me a favor!"Then they fought over, and after the enemy ship had injured five or six people, no one dared to stretch their heads again, on such a huge ship, they were beaten by her so that no one could be seen.Hongli laughed out loud, clapped his hands and said, "Today is an eye-opener!" Seeing her stop suddenly, he glanced at Wen's in embarrassment, and said, "Mom, I'm out of money." The yellow water monster on the opposite side suddenly yelled: "The thief has no money to play, hurry up and get on the boat!" Seeing the arrogance of the enemy, Hongli couldn't help but get busy again.Liu Tongxun saw that the Yunzier that Hongli had bought for Yongzheng and the third and fifth elder brothers had been packed in boxes in the front cabin, and he hurriedly asked Yingying, "Is it possible to make Go pieces?" He broke the paper rope and immediately took out a box. "Success! Just use it, take it!" Yingying said anxiously, the chess pieces had already been delivered to her hand, and when she saw a thief sticking his head out on the side of the boat, a piece flew over his face. Having been hit by a dart and fell to the ground, Yingying happily said to Wen's family: "Mom, this kind of Go pieces are easier to use than copper coins!" She grabbed a few and waved her hands across the boat, and those chess pieces were embedded in a straight line. On the wooden board of the opposite cabin, Yingying shouted triumphantly: "I feel my pig's head, if I feel harder than this wooden board, come and taste my aunt's black dates!" The people on the other side of the boat were probably stunned by Yingying's hand, and fell silent for a while.A middle-aged man said in a nasty voice, "Damn shit, seven of you died, and I fucking injured a dozen of them! Barely invite me to come to dinner, this business can't be done——" Turn the anchor and send the men back!" As soon as the voice fell, there was a rattling sound on the boat, and it stopped.At this time, Hongli was in shock.But Qin Fengwu came out of the cabin covered in mud and water, wiped the mud all over his face, and said, "The two dead bodies are too much of a hindrance, so it was hard to plug the hole with a cotton jacket." "Hmm." Hongli grunted, entered the cabin with blunt steps, and sat down by the window.At this moment, I breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did I feel hungry and thirsty, and my whole body was limp and paralyzed, so that I had no strength at all.The brothers from the Wen family and the Xing family endured exhaustion and hunger, and used all their strength to push the boat, watching the thief boat gradually go away and disappear in the afterglow of the setting sun.Hongli suddenly remembered the poem by Miaoshou Kongkong again, and the word "Wagtail Plain" flashed through his mind like lightning - it really is the third child who wants to harm me, so maybe there will be more dangers along the way.How could the blind Wu called by Li Wei find himself?With the protection of these few people, can he return to Beijing safely?His mood was bad and chaotic for a while, and he was flustered from hunger, and his hands and feet trembled a little bit.Wanting to sleep but unable to sleep, he called Liu Tongxun and Qin Fengwu to come in, but remained silent for a long time before saying, "Today's danger will be unforgettable in a lifetime. Do you think the road ahead is easy?" "It's hard to say." Liu Tongxun's voice was as dry as chopping wood, "I don't think these thieves seem to be seeking their lives for money, but they seem to be ready and waiting for us." Qin Fengwu nodded and asked: "I know the nature and habits of Lord Qiantui How many people are there? These people are so persistent in chasing and killing you, what are they doing instead of making money?" Hongli smiled sternly, and said, "Maybe he's planning something bigger than money!" "It's hard to say." Liu Tongxun licked his lips. He dared to blink, but he still didn't dare to speak clearly.After muttering for a long time, he said, "Maybe some people don't want our monarchs and ministers to walk safely. In such a peaceful time, it will take a lot of money to buy a few thieves and thieves to intercept and kill us in a hurry—is it really willing to work hard?" Hongli closed his eyes and rested his mind, and suddenly asked Qin Fengwu: "The hexagram 'Litigation', um. This section of "Yi" also talks about 'Litigation, Yuanji, and Zhongzheng.' Is that right?" "Yes." Qin Fengwu replied with a bow, "'Eating old virtues, from Shangjiye' is also said in Xiangli. My explanation turned out to be biased."
