Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

"Hahaha, high fifteen, catch up!"

"Brother Li, please slow down..."

"You and I should live in such a prosperous life, and we should be like swans, soaring into the sky!"

On both sides of the river, young people rode horses with high spirits and laughed happily, flying in the warm autumn sun and sparkling waves.

Yang Ge stood on the bow of the boat cutting through the waves, facing the golden sun, looking at the end of the endless plain ahead. The broad surface of the Bianhe River reflecting the gorgeous autumn sun was embedded in it, as gorgeous and magnificent as a jade belt!

The magnificent scenery of the plains made him feel open-minded and wanted to roar into the wind.

'It seems that this person still has to go out and stay in such a small place every day. If mold doesn't grow on his body, grass will grow on his heart! ’

Facing such a scene, his wild king's heart, which had been dormant for almost two years, began to stir again.

"grown ups."

Fang Ke walked out of the cabin, stood behind him and bowed slightly: "Suzhou is ahead, do you want to dock for half a day's rest?"

Yang Ge: "We're finally here. Let's take a rest before leaving. Is the duty schedule ready?"

Fang Ke couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Sir, the duty list has been distributed a long time ago. Master Qin is so diligent along the way... tsk tsk tsk!"

Yang Ge also laughed: "He does his thing, and you should be careful as well. These bosses are not so easy to handle. We can't teach them to lead them into trouble."

Fang Ke reflexively wanted to raise his hand to clasp his fist. He raised his hand halfway and forcibly put it down. He bowed slightly again and said, "Here!"

After getting up, he suddenly pointed to the southeast and said: "Look, sir, that side is Daze Township. It was here that Chen Sheng, the king of Zhang Chu, rose up, cut down trees as soldiers, attacked the unjust, and punished the Qin Dynasty."

Yang Ge looked in the direction he pointed, nodded and said: "Prince General Xiang Ning has such a talent... Thousands of years later, the lingering sound is still lingering around!"

Fang Ke was startled and looked around hurriedly: "Sir, be careful what you say!"

Yang Ge was stunned and slapped his forehead with his backhand: "Look at my bad mouth..."

Seeing that he realized his mistake, Fang Ke breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "That sentence is nothing at all. It came from the mouth of Zhang Chu King Chen Sheng, but I am afraid... that someone who cares will listen and make a fuss out of a molehill!"

If those words were spoken by ordinary people, that would be fine.

At most, he will be sent to Lingnan...

But they are the embroidered guards, the emperor's own soldiers!

Can you say this?

Yang Ge understood the importance and nodded: "Thank you for your reminder. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Fang Ke smiled and said, "You're welcome, sir. This is all part of my humble duty."

Yang Ge waved his hand and said in a low mood: "I will be on duty tonight. You can go ashore and play by yourselves. Just be careful not to cause trouble."

There were four hundred strongmen on their trip. Even though they were all wearing casual clothes, the movement was still too loud when four hundred warriors with big shoulders, round waists, and sinewy faces entered the city together.

Yang Ge was afraid of trouble, so he asked the accompanying deputy Qianhu and Baihu to draw up a duty schedule. Every time they docked for a rest, at least half of the people would be left on the ship to guard the ordnance.

Fang Ke quickly replied after hearing this: "Sir, the duty list has been arranged long ago. It is Mr. Qin who will lead the team on duty tonight. You can go into the city to rest and rinse your mouth..."

Yang Ge waved his hand lazily: "I don't want to go, I'm too lazy to move. If you go ashore and bring back some local specialties from Suzhou, I'll try them."

Fang Ke had no choice but to retreat and go to adjust the duty schedule.

…

The fleet stayed overnight at Suzhou Pier.

Fang Kesheng entered the city in the afternoon and rushed back to the ship with large and small bags of wine and food before the street cleaning drum sounded.

Yang Ge lit a soybean-sized oil lamp, took Fang Ke to have a drink with him, and listened to him talk about his past experiences running around with Shen Fa.

They drank until midnight without realizing it was getting late.

Even after just a small drink, both of them were still half tipsy.

Just when the food and wine were about to be exhausted, a rapid sound of gongs suddenly came from outside the cabin.

"Is there really anyone who is not afraid of death?"

When Fang Ke heard the sound of the gong, he stood up with a squeak and said, "Here comes someone!"

The strongman on duty outside the cabin responded and came in. Fang Ke shouted and asked: "Why are you disturbing me in the middle of the night?"

Lishi replied: "Back to Fangbaihu, there is no return from Paoze yet... Listening to the sound, it should be coming from the Yilian side."

Good guy!

Fang Ke didn't expect that eating melons would end up on his own head. He was so frightened and angry that he fisted at Yang Ge: "Sir, please sit down for a moment. I'll come back when I'm here!"

Yang Ge stood up with a smile, grabbed a lancet from the weapon rack on the side and threw it to him, and then picked up a thick-backed machete: "Let's go and see together, it's better to have fun alone than to have fun together! "

Hearing what he said, Fang Ke, who was furious just now, suddenly laughed out loud: "If they bump into our men, it will be a bad year for them!"

The two of them sang together, making the strongmen who came in to report back laugh.

Robbers enjoy entering empty houses.

Isn't it just the owner's pleasure to have a robber break into a house full of burly men?

The group of people exited the cabin and sped towards the direction where the gong sound came from.

As soon as he arrived near the two ships of the first company, Yang Ge saw a group of people holding torches and pressing two wet men in linen clothes to the deck.

A stocky man wearing a katana jacket was walking quickly with a bright knife in hand, constantly directing people to search the ship and inspect the cargo...

That man, if he wasn't his former head of Gutong, who was he?

When Yang Ge saw the situation in that compartment clearly, Fang Ke also saw the situation in that compartment clearly, and stepped forward to greet him: "Lao Gu, my boss is here, come and talk!"

After hearing this, Gu Tong from the other side immediately threw down the knife in his hand and stepped onto the springboard, trotted over and clasped his fists, saying, "Gu Tong is guilty of disturbing my boss's rest in the middle of the night!"

He hasn't been able to say a word to Yang Ge for a long time since Yang Ge was promoted to Shangyou Qianhusuo Qianhu.

Yang Ge smiled and gave him a hand: "Brother, don't be so polite...what's the matter?"

Gu Tong replied excitedly: "Back to... my boss' house, I just caught the person and haven't had time to interrogate them yet. But judging from their behavior, they should be habitual criminals. They are all addicted to smoke. If the brothers weren't alert, they would have capsized in the ditch." Got it!"

"Miscellaneous? That's really a habitual offender!"

Yang Ge nodded in surprise: "Have everyone been caught?"

Gu Tong quickly bowed and said: "My boss, Gu Tong didn't do his job well. There should have been six or seven people who came, but only two were caught!"

Yang Ge glanced at that compartment and saw that most of the warriors were wet, so he patted him gently on the shoulder: "It's not all your fault. The strong dragon can't overpower the local snake... Go do your work, I'll wait." You reply!"

He gestured behind him, and the strongman immediately moved a chair behind him, and he sat down comfortably.

Gu Tong understood the idea, clasped his fists again and said, "Just watch, if a thief escapes tonight, I, Old Gu, will use my own head to cover it!"

After saying that, he tightened his belt, turned around and jumped back into the boat, shouting: "Come on, invite these two distinguished guests into the cabin and greet them properly!"

After they made such a fuss, other ships docked at Suzhou Pier also lit up with firelights, and there were shadowy figures everywhere looking around.

Fang Ke couldn't sit still when he saw this, and lowered his voice and said: "Sir, I'd better go over and take a look..."

Yang Ge waved his hand casually: "A few little thieves, are they worthy of you personally greeting them? Is your Feiyu suit so worthless?"

Fang Ke thought for a while and replied: "Then let's go and walk around... Looking at this formation, he looks like a veteran who relies on water to survive!"

Yang Ge smiled: "You'd better think carefully, go ahead!"

Fang Ke clasped his fists, randomly picked up a few strongmen, put down the boat and approached the surrounding ships with lights on.

The wind in the river was freezing, so Yang Ge tightened his cloak tightly, his head drowsily pecking at rice bit by bit.

After a while, Gu Tong came back wiping his red hands: "My boss, let me tell you clearly, these two thieves are all members of a water gang called the Haihe Gang!"

"Haihe Gang?"

Yang Ge propped up his heavy head and recalled for a moment with his not very flexible mind. He found that he had never heard of this gang, so he yawned and replied: "Now that you know where the guests are from, you are a good person." If you do it to the end, just send them home... You are an old man, you don’t need me to teach you the rules, right?"

Gu Tong smiled honestly and held his hands in his hands: "No, no, no, I will remember every word of your words in my heart. I will recite them every day, and I will never forget them!"

Yang Ge closed his eyes, smiled and waved, "Go back quickly!"

Gu Tongyi handed over his hands, turned around and jumped back on the boat. The simple smile on his face slowly turned into a ferocious smile: "Brothers, let's take care of this matter. Let's send the guests home... be gentle and don't disturb the master's sleep."

"Hey hey hey!"

After hearing this, a group of killers all showed the same warm and kind smiles as Gu Tong.

Soon, dozens of muscular men dragged two dead dog-like figures out of the boat and sped away.

As soon as Gu Tong and his party left, Fang Ke, who went to inquire about the surroundings, came back: "Sir, I have inquired clearly."

Without even opening his eyes, Yang Ge replied vaguely: "I know, the Haihe Gang, I've asked Lao Gu to take people to deal with it..."

Fang Ke glanced at the direction in which Gu Tong and others were leaving, and whispered: "Sir, I have found out more about the Haihe Gang than just the Haihe Gang!"

Yang Ge waved his hand: "Tell me."

Fang Ke: "I found out from my humble job that the waterway from Suzhou to Huai'an is controlled by Lianlianwu. All cargo ships and passenger ships passing through this waterway must pay tribute to Lianlianwu. The Haihe Gang is just Lianlianwu. A pawn who helps collect money for Lianlianwu..."

Hearing this, Yang Ge finally opened his red eyes: "How is this Lianlianwu better than the Changfeng Gang?"

Fang Ke waved his hand to disperse the warriors on the left and right, and whispered: "I have heard a lot about this chain dock. Judging from the information I just heard, it should be even worse than the Jiangzuo Changfeng Gang. It's just that But the former is a pure Jianghu gang, and the latter is a chamber pot colluding with government and businessmen!"

"damn it……"

Yang Ge cursed in frustration: "It's so damn hard to make a serious living these days!"

Fang Ke: "Sir, you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you rely on water to eat water. This has always been the case."

Yang Ge: "This has always been the case, right?"

Fang Ke didn't dare to answer.

After weighing it in his mind, Yang Ge said impatiently: "It doesn't matter what the chain dock or the iron chain dock is, it was the Haihe Gang who got into our head first. If we cause trouble for the Haihe Gang, we can stand upright no matter where we go." Son!"

"If he, Lian Lianwu, insists that even the powerful dragon won't overpower him...then let's start a war!"

"Let's see whether I dismantle his chain first, or he brings us down first!"

I'm not even used to having so many big and small officials in the capital.

Can you be wronged by a bunch of water bandits like you?

After thinking for a while, Fang Ke replied: "It's not that troublesome. All we need to do is to raise the banner of our embroidered clothes guards. Even if they give him a few more courages, they will not dare to openly rob and kill our embroidered clothes guards." Official ship!"

Yang Ge: "Then hang up. I also want to see if they are truly heroic and courageous, or if they are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, picking up the weak!"

Fang Ke couldn't help but laugh: "Do you hope they will come, or do you hope they won't come?"

Yang Ge: "What do you think?"

Fang Ke replied: "I guess, you must want them to come..."

Yang Ge smiled and said: "How about saying that you are a smart person? If they dare to come, I can still give them a high look, which shows that their work is still interesting."

"If you see the embroidered guard flag, you won't even dare to risk it... It's a place where filth and evil are hidden, so don't go!"

Fang Ke shook his head: "My lord, what you said is wrong. Jianghu is called Jianghu precisely because there are all sorts of messy people!"

Yang Ge tasted his words and admired: "Mountain Tai does not allow soil, so it can become as big as it is; rivers and seas do not accept small streams, so it can be as deep as possible... High realm, high realm!"

Fang Ke chewed on Yang Ge's words for a while, and couldn't help but admire: "Your Majesty is rich in learning and talented, and the admiration for you in your humble position is like a torrential river, continuous, or like the Yellow River overflowing, which can't be controlled at once. Listening to an adult is better than ten years of reading!"

Relaxed.

So comfortable.

I've been holding this flattery in my heart for so long, and finally it was filmed.

Yang Ge sneered and cursed with a smile: "Don't give me the ecstasy soup. Go and call the brothers on duty in the second company to help Lao Gu and the others. Don't let the boat capsize in the gutter!"

Fang Ke cupped his fists: "Here!"

He turned around and left in a hurry. After a while, he ordered fifty strong men to get off the boat to meet Gu Tong and others.

Yang Ge watched them leave, and finally closed his eyes again, wrapped the cloak tightly around his body, and sang in a low voice that only he could hear: "When you see injustice on the road, roar, take action when it's time to take action... Hi Yeah Yi’er…”

He may still have not thought about what kind of person he wants to be in this life.

But it doesn't matter.

Several examples have been set before him.

He is willing to learn from them and do things within his ability that are not so difficult.

After all, to live, there must be movement...

He wanted to see things before him as they were.
