starling is not a bird

Sure enough, Elder Brother Shi, who was full of confidence, took someone there and was treated as a meal by the private salt dealer. He was a breadwinner, and the thief didn't have any skills?What's more, if a private salt is caught, he will die, so there is still some way to lick blood with a knife.

On the bank of the river under the night, the salt dealer's boat swept the fishy water all over the head and face of Elder Brother Shi, and chased along the river for most of the night, watching the boat whizzing away by the wind.

The dejected tenth elder brother didn't even have the strength to lose his temper. He looked at the eggs in the bowl, wishing to see holes in them. The eighth elder brother was not in a hurry to ask him. Anyway, he didn't gain anything. He just called his younger brother to eat from time to time. Order something, something to drink.

Until the entourage packed up and set off, Elder Brother Ten's face didn't slow down. Elder Brother Nine was the one who liked to tease his younger brother the most, so he began to comfort him with kind words.The eighth elder brother ignored him, and ordered the team to go to the city on his own. The elder brother was in a bad mood, and the followers were a little more cautious, and the journey was quiet.

After entering the city and settling down, the eighth elder brother was going to invite officials from all levels to discuss how to sacrifice and how to erect a monument, when the tenth elder brother rushed in dressed in military uniform: "Brother, I am not convinced!"

The eighth elder brother ignored him and left him alone, the tenth elder brother kept silent, and waited for the eighth elder brother to explain one by one, before speaking again: "Brother, I am not convinced."

The eighth elder brother had a half smile on his face, stretched out his hand to straighten the tenth elder brother's messy hair, and said softly, "What do you want?"

Elder Brother Ten looked aggrieved and blurted out: "I want them to pay the price!"

Brother Eight nodded: "How do you plan to make them pay the price?"

Brother Ten's face was a little excited: "I thought about it, I'll go to ambush tonight!"

Brother Eight asked to bring over the map he had prepared, and spread it on the table for Brother Ten to see: "Since we want to lay an ambush, we must first see what route the other party is going to take."

Elder Brother Ten, who had been depressed for a long time, was finally reinvigorated, and went to Eighth Brother to start studying the geomancy map.

After a few rounds of arguments and advice, the eighth elder brother is delighted with his younger brother's growth, time is like running water flowing through his fingertips, and the reckless little baby has now become a responsible man!

When he was feeling emotional, the eighth elder brother also began to worry about himself. In five years, the crown prince will have a direct conflict with Huang Ama. Can his doom be avoided?The eighth elder brother is not sure, but in this life, he will never let himself become a stepping stone for others.

When it was getting dark, the tenth elder brother set off again with his people, and the ninth elder brother was very formalistic and asked people to buy some prunes, put them in a small wine to cook, and said with a smile that he would start drinking when his younger brother came back!

The eighth elder brother held his forehead silently, and asked someone to set up dinner, and the ninth elder brother finished eating slowly, and asked someone to bring tea to rinse his mouth: "Are you full?"

Brother Nine touched his stomach and said contentedly, "I'm full, and eating with you is the most comfortable."

Eighth Brother nodded: "It's time to go to work when I'm full, go, change clothes and go together."

Brother Jiu was stunned: "Where are you going at night?"

The eighth elder brother has already stood up: "Of course I'm going to watch the excitement. It's a rare opportunity to let my brother show off. Why don't you give him a chance to show off?"

Ninth brother suddenly realized, and walked out with eighth brother neatly.

Do private salt dealers always travel on dark and stormy nights?Of course not, the meandering rapids increasingly need the light of the moon's starlight and fishing fires.It was only in the middle of the night that he just set off.

The dull rushing sound of running water seemed very pleasant to the sound of wind and beasts. Brother Jiu found a good position for himself on a high rock, and turned to look at his brother: "Brother, are we secretly watching like this?"

Eighth Brother smiled and said, "That's natural. If he wins, we'll help him celebrate. If he loses, we'll go back as soon as possible to save his face."

Brother Jiu held his head high: "My brother, how could he lose twice?"

Then, he looked at the smiling Eighth Brother and said, "Besides, I don't believe you didn't help him!"

The eighth elder brother said confidently: "How can I help him? The one standing below is himself!"

Brother Nine snorted, too lazy to continue talking nonsense with his short-term brother, and turned his head to stare at the shore in the night below, quiet and peaceful, as if the world had fallen asleep.

Although it was the middle of the night, the thick clouds in the sky were blown away by the strong wind, and half a good moon shone on the river surface. With such a good wind, the boats were like weaving shuttles on the river. When it was quiet, they could see the upstream. A few small boats came to escort them, and a big boat swayed desperately, not afraid of the jagged and strange rocks on the river bank.

Seeing that the boat was about to escape again smoothly, Brother Jiu didn't panic at all, his younger brother was smart, he definitely wouldn't suffer twice in a row, there must be an arrangement for tonight.

Sure enough, when the boat reached the water, there was only a rustling sound, and then a line of fire blazed into the sky in the dark night. The small boats were about to rush over, but the fire was really high, and they spun around on the spot The mill turns in circles and cannot get out.

The big ship didn't stop at all, and accelerated even more, intending to break through the encirclement, but there were several muffled thumps in its ears, and immediately knew something was wrong.

The entire river surface was blown up with steam, and the big boat swayed from the splashing waves. The people on the small boat couldn't hold on any longer, so they had to abandon the small boat, take the reed pipe and jump into the water, hoping to swim from below. to shore.

Standing on a high place, Brother Nine could see clearly. He was so happy that he couldn't help but began to praise his younger brother for his ability. Brother Eight was staring at the water with all his attention and didn't care to speak.

Then there were several loud noises. It seemed that Elder Brother Shi had prepared a lot of explosives, and the big ship finally began to fall apart. There were cries and shouts on the water, and the sound of jumping into the river.

It was almost time to stay, and the tenth elder brother had already captured most of the people, so the ninth elder brother urged the eighth elder brother to leave: "Brother, why don't we deliver the good wine we prepared?"

The eighth brother said with a smile: "It's up to you to say, let's go."

At the foot of the mountain, the eighth elder brother stood in front with his younger brother and gave each of the soldiers who had returned from victory a cup of hot wine.Yesterday's Feng Shenling also came, but today his face was no longer as depressed as yesterday. He took the wine glass and thanked his brothers for their rewards before drinking.

Elder Brother Ten walked to the back, Elder Brother Nine straightened his neck, and before he saw him, when he was wondering, a guy with a black head and a black face rushed over and grabbed the wine glass in Elder Brother Jiu's hand. Wanting to get angry, he found out that this dark, bloody man was his precious brother.

Brother Jiu wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust for a long time: "What's wrong with you, isn't your blood on this face?"

Elder Brother Ten drank, grabbed the handkerchief from Elder Nine's hand and began to wipe his face: "No, I'm so powerful, how could someone hurt me? It's all the blood of those traffickers!"

Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows: "There are so many people, why did you get out and get yourself dirty?"

Elder Brother Ten opened his mouth, revealing a row of bright white teeth, "I'm a man too, so if I don't kill a few people on the stage, won't it be degrading our manly reputation?"

Ninth brother knew that what he said was the truth, and when he wanted to refute again, eighth brother said: "It seems that you are quite energetic, let's go, let them be taken away, you go back with me and have a few more drinks. "

The tenth elder brother was worrying that he had no time to show off his bravery. Hearing this, he happily followed the eighth elder brother.

Along the way, the ten elder brothers were talking about how brave he was and how he was the first to defeat the enemy. The eighth elder brother smiled and listened. He understood that the first battle is always very exciting. At this time, there is no need to comment, just listen And praise on it.Looking at my younger brother's shining eyes, well, he is much more energetic than when he was in the capital!

The tenth elder brother yelled all the way, and the ninth elder brother also knew that his younger brother was proud of himself, and it was good to accompany him all the way, even if he disliked him, he refrained from talking.

Elder Brother Shi, who was dancing, talking and gesticulating, finally calmed down. When he picked up his cup and drank tea, Feng Shen led someone to report the results of the battle.

Eighth Brother waited until they had finished talking, then turned around and asked Tenth Brother, "We'll be leaving in a few days, what will happen to those private salt dealers when they come out again?"

Elder Brother Shi smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? It's worth pointing out, just compare it to today, isn't it over?"

The eighth elder brother smiled, and the ninth elder brother beside him already understood a little bit, and hurriedly said: "Don't say anything else, the gunpowder you threw into the river today is worth a lot of silver taels, and there are private salt dealers every day. Come here to spend a lot of gunpowder?"

Elder Brother Shi was speechless for a while, and then argued strongly: "Where is the need to use gunpowder every day, and finish punishing the private salt dealers in a few days, naturally there will be more in the future."

The eighth elder brother laughed so hard that his face cracked: "People die for money, you expect the private salt dealers to be wiped out, it's better to hope that the water of the Yellow River will dry up sooner!"

Elder Brother Ten sat down and thought about it, and realized that it was easier for him, so he stood up and said, "Brother, I'm going to change my clothes before coming back, but please save some wine for me!"

The ninth elder brother hummed and answered him, and the eighth elder brother began to ask Feng Shen carefully about the details of his trial.

Elder Brother Ten entered the room, and only when he was taking off his clothes did he smell his own body.After taking a hasty shower, she changed into clean clothes inside and out, and asked someone to find a few purses from the luggage, hanging them around her waist before coming out.

The eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are waiting for him under the lamp. The tenth elder brother suddenly felt a lot more relieved. He walked over, picked up a fruit and gnawed: "Brother, I thought that it is impossible once and for all, how about Finding a way is both easy and useful, don’t you think?”

Brother Eight nodded: "That's the truth, what do you say?"

Elder Brother Ten gnawed on the fruit until it was gone, and he didn't come up with an idea, so he just stared at Brother Eighth, who patted his forehead: "It will trouble me!"

On the second day, Elder Brother Ten sent someone to find the local counselors and counselors, and gave them a chance face-to-face, and all the people below went to work on their own.

In the evening, the yamen posted a notice, and on the second day, a weapon shop that had made it handed in the items, and Elder Brother Ten personally took people to inspect and accept them.

Then someone bought a search boat, packed sand and gravel bags, and sent someone to drive the boat from the upper reaches. Watching the boat come, Feng Shen asked Rang to pull the rope woven with beef tendon, and the sharp knife at the bottom of the river stopped the boat. The boat hit the long knife, and the hull broke immediately.

Watching the boat sinking slowly, Elder Brother Shi was not overly excited this time, nodded reservedly, suppressed the joy on his face, gave a few polite orders, and then went back with his relatives. The celebratory cheers and laughter were left behind.

The ninth elder brother was accompanying the eighth elder brother in the yard, and the two of them looked at the newly delivered white marble stele together. The tenth elder brother took his steps a little harder, and waited for the elder brothers to look up before leaning over and calmly said: "What a good thing, I'll take a look too?"
