The sturdy life of crossing

Among them, two scholars with beautiful maidservants set up a table at the bow of the boat. While being served by the beautiful maidservants, they drank tea and talked and laughed, making one suspect that they were rushing for the exam and wearing red sleeves to make them more attractive. One of them inadvertently raised his head to this side. It seems that I was amazed when I suddenly saw a brother on the boat here, and hurriedly called to my companion: "Look at the brother on the opposite boat, I didn't expect such a thing to exist in this kind of place."

"Tsk tsk, brother Liu is really right, don't worry, we will meet again when the boat stops at night, ha..."

"That's right, this journey is too boring, so I finally had some fun."

Many people nearby heard this conversation. Some scholars denounced it as insulting, while others pretended not to hear it, and continued to talk about poetry and papers to appreciate the scenery on both sides of the strait. After all, some people were not something they could afford to offend.

Because of the distance, Zhao Erhu didn't have a conversation with those two, but he could also see that the eyes of these two scholars were really hateful, if he dared to look at their boss with such disgusting eyes, he was looking for death.

Jian Leyang happened to hear it clearly, and a coldness flashed in his eyes. He wanted to reach Fucheng safely, but someone bumped into him and refused to let him go.

When I went back, I happened to hear Father Jian talking about the candidates on the ship with the other three scholars: "Among them, Tang Shuangli was the leader of the county and government examinations last time. This time he went for Xiao Sanyuan. I think he is determined to win. , many people are also very optimistic about him."

Jian Leyang, the scholar on board just now, has scanned all of them, but he didn't have a particularly deep impression on anyone, so he doesn't know who Tang Tongsheng is who has won two cases, but can he really do what he wants?Jian Leyang is very optimistic about his father. Others have been sharpening their swords for ten years, but his father said that it is about the same for ten years for a hospital.

"What are the identities of the man surnamed Liu and the man beside him? Seeing that they are still drinking and having fun on the boat, they seem to be very confident." Jian Leyang asked aloud as he walked in.

Among the three, two were married, and the remaining one was also engaged. In addition, they talked with Jian's father as peers, so they didn't avoid Jian Leyang too much when they met Jian Leyang. Although he thought he was good-looking, But also treat it with a normal heart.

"Brother Yang also saw it." The eldest Li Tongsheng's face changed, and the window on their side happened to be able to see the outside scene, and he reminded, "Those two people, alas, if they meet in the future, Avoid if you can, those two people, one is Yue Xianzhi, wife and younger brother of our county magistrate in Yunyang County, and the other is Liu Yingzhi, the only son of the richest man in Yunyang County. ship."

"No wonder they were drinking and having fun on the boat, and no one dared to criticize them." Jian Leyang sneered in his heart. It turned out that his status was such that no one in Yunyang County would dare to provoke him.

Seeing that Brother Yang didn't say anything, Jian's father and mother thought he was just curious about his identity. Li Tongsheng didn't mention the situation of Yunyang County and the others passing by Yunyang County, but became curious about Xindan County. Little, the scholars in Yunyang County have heard a lot of them, so at this time they asked Father Jian about it.

After night fell, Jian Leyang took his younger brother to watch the scenery while enjoying the wind on the board. Zhao Erhu came over and said in a low voice, "Boss, this area is not very peaceful. Let's find a place to stop the boat in front of us for the night and wait until dawn before sailing. We should be there by afternoon."

Jian Leyang understands about sailing. There are shipping gangs on the river, and naturally there are also water bandits who rob ships and passing merchants, so God

Ships that are left alone after dark are easy to be targeted. The best way is of course that everyone's ships dock together. Water bandits will always have some scruples and dare not make a move easily.

Zhao Erhu didn't know that there were people waiting for their boat ahead, but Jian Leyang didn't take it to heart, nodded and said, "You can arrange this matter, and the Qingyao Gang's boat must also stop in front."

Zhao Erhu thinks the same way. You can't just rely on brute force to do things outside, you have to use your brain. The Qingyao gang is so powerful that the water bandits don't dare to attack them. They borrowed the boat from the Canghe gang It's nothing to be ashamed of.

There is nothing to be afraid of if there is a boss, but anything can happen on the river, the most ruthless thing is that the water bandits carve through the bottom of the boat into the water, even if they put in a lot of effort, they may not be able to use a little or two, and they can't be alarmed. Jane's family and three other scholars on board.

"Okay, I'll urge them to hurry up." Zhao Erhu hurriedly went back to watch.

"Brother," Jian Wenyuan said at this moment, "we won't really run into trouble, will we?"

Jian Leyang patted his younger brother's head and smoothed his hair. Looking at his angry eyes, he said cheerfully: "With your brother here, what are you afraid of? But the relationship between the Liu family and the Qingyao Gang is not so deep. The hall master personally follows the boat. No matter what happens at night, as long as I don't call, you and dad will sleep well, and you are not allowed to come out to see, you know? I call out and then come out, and you are not allowed to object, unless you want to hold back your brother and me, It's not necessarily something, I'm just in case."

Jian Wenyuan looked at his brother resentfully: "Understood, brother."

Two quarters of an hour later, the boat found a docking place, which was a pier in a market town. The lanterns on the Qingyao Gang boat were very eye-catching in the dark, and their boats also hung lanterns with the words "Canghe". Arranging the next things, I was too busy to come over and talk to Jian Leyang. After all, Jian Leyang was just a boat passenger, at most Zhao Erhu's neighbor.

Jian's father and mother rested, Jian Leyang drove Jian Wenyuan back to the room, and told him to keep an eye on his parents, as long as it was his words, they would still listen to them.

On the Qingyao Gang's boat, one person walked into the cabin, and whispered a few words in Hallmaster Jiang's ear.

Hall Master Jiang frowned. If he hadn't had to, he really didn't want to take this boat trip. He didn't expect to be picky and picky along the way, and now he still has to use his brain: "Can you see where the boat is behind?"

"Master, I looked at the lanterns outside, they belong to the Canghe Gang, and their boats are not decent, probably some low-level gang." People who are used to eating big fish and big meat, will they look more at green porridge and side dishes?

"Canghe Gang?" Hall Master Jiang felt that the name was a little familiar, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he put it aside for the time being: "Send a few more people to watch, and don't let them make too much noise, this boat is full of scholars , in case something comes out through their mouths...!"

Are they Qingyao gang not afraid of anything, that is, the magistrate of Yunyang and the Liu family will not be affected at all?But he knew that a county magistrate was taken away and sent to a big prison before, and there was a background behind him, so if he said he would be arrested, he would be arrested.

"Okay, hall master, I will send someone to watch."

When this person went down, he felt disapproving. If the people on the boat knew the identities of these two young masters, they might take the initiative to send them over. Even if there was something wrong, money couldn't solve it?Hall Master Jiang is really too timid, it's no wonder that he is being pushed out by others now, how can he have too many bright futures with such a Hall Master.

Dark clouds covered the moon, and the river was pitch black. Several small boats were rowing towards this side, and the people on board were very excited when they saw the lights on the big boat ahead.

"Damn, this time I'm going to be a big ticket, and then find a place to hide for a while. I didn't expect that the Liu family would dare to release the kid, and there were many scholars on the ship who were rushing to take the exam, and they must have a lot of money. Really made a fortune!"

"Be careful, and run away after finishing this ticket, otherwise the Qingyao gang will follow, and we will not have a good life."

"Don't worry boss, we will be careful."

Getting closer to the big boat, the boat stopped paddling, and several people entered the water silently, diving into the water with a hollow grass stalk in their mouths, and slowly swam through the water.

Jian Leyang opened his eyes, changed his clothes, picked up the wooden mask and covered his face, and reappeared on the boat as Le Boss, standing at the bow of the boat and looking at the dark river.Zhao Erhu suddenly found out that the boss had appeared, and hurried over, "Boss, what's the matter?" Otherwise, the boss wouldn't show up like this.

"Well, let everyone be vigilant and listen to my orders."

"Yes, Boss." Zhao Erhu immediately confessed. The people on board were very excited. They didn't expect Boss Hui to appear suddenly. Of course, no one would connect Boss Le with Jian Leyang on the boat. Came from the pier.

Jian Leyang stretched out his hand, and Zhao Erhu immediately handed over the bow and arrow, which were specially brought for the boss, but it was inconvenient for Jian Leyang to carry these in his own luggage.Jian Leyang didn't like the two parties who acted in the dark. One was a domineering young master who didn't take the common people seriously, and the other was a water bandit who robbed houses. With a hook of his mouth, he drew the bowstring and shot somewhere underwater. past.

Knowing that something happened at night, the gang members on the boat were quite nervous, but seeing that the boss is so calm and has a mentality like a cat playing with a mouse, he suddenly felt that with the boss, no matter how big the problem is.

Suddenly there was a scream underwater, and there were splashes on the surface of the water.

Jian Leyang stretched out his hand, and handed another arrow. Jian Leyang took the bow and pulled the string, and shot another arrow in a different direction. With a bang, the arrow was released, and the bow broke. Zhao Erhu gritted his teeth. The boss has great strength. The bow broke after being pulled twice, and when I heard screams from the other direction, I knew that neither of the two arrows of the boss missed.

That is absolutely impossible.

Besides, from this position, they can't even see anyone underwater, let alone shoot people.

"Who is it?" The members of the Qingyao gang noticed the movement in the river, and hurried out to check. They saw several small boats around and shouted, "It's bad, there are water bandits coming to rob the boat, Hall Master Jiang , There are water bandits robbing the ship!"

"Damn it, I was discovered, don't worry about it, just do it, and quickly row over to get on the boat, whoever stops and cuts who!" The boss of the water bandit didn't expect to be discovered before he got on the boat, and cursed several times in a low voice , Let people speed up the boat, miss this time, I don’t know when the next time will have such a good opportunity.

A total of four ships were parked on the pier, and other ships were also alarmed by the shouting. Zhao Erhu had arranged for people to guard outside the cabin. It is good to stay in the cabin, but it is a bad thing to come out.

Jian Wenyuan also told his brother's words to his parents, so Jian's father and mother also came forward to comfort Li Tongsheng and the three of them, but Li Tongsheng was not from Jian's family and did not understand Jian Leyang's skills. It will be all right as people say.

Hall Master Jiang rushed out the first time he heard the yelling, and found that the situation was much more serious than he thought. Not only were there people coming over the water, but there were also people on the pier who got on the diving board and ran to the boat. The lanterns were destroyed and much of the ship was plunged into darkness.

Hall Master Jiang was so angry that something was going to happen to the people on this boat, and he, the Hall Master, would not want to do it any longer. He took a knife and hacked people to the bow of the boat, and shouted outside: "Qingyao Gang! Here, who among you would dare to rob the Qingyao Gang's ship?〃"

"Haha, Hall Master Jiang, as long as you throw all the belongings on the boat over, we will let you go. Brothers, come on, the young master of the Liu family on the boat is rich, and he also brought two beautiful girls with him. Whoever grabs it will count." Whose." The water bandits were not intimidated by Hall Master Jiang's words at all, but yelled wildly.

"Bring the bow!" Hall Master Jiang was furious.

But when Hall Master Jiang took the bow and set up an arrow to shoot at the opponent, the opponent had already jumped into the water and touched the bottom of the boat, and because it was too dark, the few arrows shot by Hall Master Jiang missed. Seeing this situation, they curled their lips unanimously, what kind of archery, compared with their boss, they are a thousand miles away, wasting such a good bow, and don't think about the broken bow their boss used.

There was a lot of fighting on the Qingyao Gang's boat, Liu Yingzhi and Yue Xianzhi stayed in the best room and they didn't seem panicked. What jokes are you talking about, the Qingyao Gang's boat was so easily robbed by water bandits?The Qingyao gang can eat shit, so they are very sure, Yue Xianzhi said happily: "In this way, our business will be easier to handle, water bandits, it is common to arrest a few people, isn't that so My brother unfortunately fell into the hands of water bandits."

"Yes, these water bandits deserve to be killed! Ha..."

"Boss, someone came over to our boat." Zhao Erhu noticed two people sneaking over.

"Just kill it." Jian Leyang said lightly.

"Yes, Boss, I'll take people there, and you're also looking at other directions." Zhao Erhu left in a hurry.

Jian Leyang changed the bow in his hand, he didn't care about Qingyao Gang's affairs, he only picked people in the river to shoot, and he would definitely not miss if he shot an arrow. This movement finally attracted the attention of Qingyao Gang's Hall Master Jiang, who were separated from Canghe Gang So Hall Master Jiang tried his best to look around, and found a vague shadow of a mask. A flash of light flashed in his mind, thinking why the Canghe Gang is familiar, isn't it the group of people who went back to Fucheng to pick up the food?

"The other side is Young Master Le of the Canghe Gang?" Hall Master Jiang raised his voice and asked, his arrow missed, and the screams in the river were because of Boss Le?

"Master Jiang, it's been a long time, long time no see." Jian Leyang replied in a bright voice.
