Chapter 208: Down to the South of the Yangtze River

Updated: 2012-06-22

(This fourth is a supplement to what I owe yesterday. I apologize again and ask for collection.)

Blind Xu was as clear as a mirror in his heart, knowing that the injury on his shoulder caused the lieutenant's suspicion. If he searched, everyone's packages would have weapons, especially the standard horizontal swords of the Great Sui army, which was absolutely forbidden among the people. Moreover, the lieutenant had already become suspicious, and I'm afraid he would not be able to explain it clearly.

Blind Xu gritted his teeth and pulled out the horizontal knife from the package beside the saddle, and chopped down an official officer with one sword. When everyone saw him taking action, they immediately pulled out their weapons and attacked the officials guarding the bridge. This time, they couldn't defend themselves, and more than a dozen officials guarding the bridge were chopped up to the ground before they could fight back. Blind Xu chopped down three official officer officers one by one, waved and greeted: "Roar forward, transition to the bridge!"

Everyone shouted and moved forward one after another. There were forty or fifty yamen runners and soldiers guarding the bridge, but suddenly they were attacked and they didn't react. Xu and others took the road and boarded the horse and rushed forward. The captain shouted while chasing from behind.

"Arrowers! Shoot them to death!"

Dozens of official troops resting by the river immediately rushed to the bridge and fired arrows. After two consecutive rounds of arrow rain, Xu Xiaozi's subordinates were shot down six or seven, and the rest urged the horse to rush out of the range of the feather arrows. The soldiers of Wagang Village who were not dead, saw that Xu Xiaozi stopped the war horse and planned to come back, and one of them shouted: "Brother Xu, go quickly! Don't look back!"

After saying that, he picked up the horizontal knife on the ground and wiped his neck. The remaining people looked at each other, and one of them laughed a few times and said, "We are like brothers in this life, and I hope we can get together again in the next life and be brothers!"

After saying that, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into his heart.

"Be a brother again in the next life!"

The remaining three people said in unison.

One of the boys, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, couldn't help crying, and murmured at the dead people: "Brother Liu, Brother Chu, Brother Sun, why don't you know how to wait for me... help me? I'm... scared!"

Around him was a strong man who looked in his forties. He was shot on his back and thighs, and a lot of blood was dyed red. He raised his hand and patted the boy on the shoulder and smiled, "Little Huzi, don't be afraid, your brother Zhao is there!"

He pulled out the dagger from his waist, gestured to the young man's heart and said, "Don't worry, the knife will pierce here and it won't take long to die. It won't hurt!"

"Yeah! It doesn't hurt!"

Xiaohuzi said in tears: "I know Brother Zhao takes care of me the most!"

The man named Zhao's eyes turned red and wiped his tears and said, "Little Huzi, remember to be born in a good family in the next life. It is best to be born in a wealthy family. You will have a good future when you are born. You will not have to worry about food and drink, and you will not have to marry a delicate wife. Just remember, don't be... a thief again."

puff!

The dagger pierced into Xiaohuzi's heart, and the boy's face was a little distorted and deformed because of fear and pain. He looked down at the dagger that was completely in his heart, and then trembled and raised his head to look at the man named Zhao. The boy grinned with great difficulty: "Brother Zhao... Thank you! Actually... it really hurts."

The man surnamed Zhao twisted the dagger into the boy's heart with tears in tears, then pulled out the dagger and looked at the corpse that fell down and murmured: "Little Huzi, don't be afraid, Brother Zhao will catch up with you soon. Let's walk together on the Huangquan Road, and no one will leave anyone behind."

Puff, the dagger penetrated into his own throat and penetrated his neck.

"No!"

Xu, who had already rushed to the opposite side of the bridge, shouted bitterly, jumped off the horse's back and slowly fell to the ground. The others also jumped off the war horse, knelt behind Xu's blind man and kowtowed a few times. One of them wiped his tears and pulled Xu's hand and said, "Brother Xu, let's go! We will avenge our brothers sooner or later!"

"Yes! We must come back and take revenge!"

Blind Xu kowtowed a few times solemnly, then got up and jumped onto the war horse and whipped it down.

"Let's go!"

The officials were getting on the horse and wanted to chase him, but the already-not-wide crossing bridge was stopped by the dead soldiers of Wagang Village. After they cleared it, they wanted to chase him. Blind Xu had already disappeared from the end of the sight of the official road. An official soldier stepped on Xiaohuzi's face with resentment and crushed hard, cursing fiercely: "A bunch of thieves! Damn, they were born to be a waste of life!"

"Drop them all into the river!"

The captain who collected the money caught up from behind, looked at the dead, and ordered coldly: "No one is allowed to tell the matter today, otherwise if I am unlucky, I will take you all together!"

In a dense grass a few hundred meters away from the ferry, Liu Heita quietly retracted his head and whispered to Ye Huaixue behind him: "Second Head, it seems we are going to take a detour. The guards of the ferry are not only yamen runners from nearby counties, county soldiers, and Longting Guards. We will definitely not be able to get through."

Ye Huaixue nodded and said, "Let's go west along the river, just be able to find the boat."

Liu Heita retreated and sighed: "The men in Wagang Village are admirable, they are all good!"

Ye Huaixue said softly: "From soldiers to see generals, these people are all people with great loyalty, so we can guess that the leaders of Wagang Village must be the same. Wagang Village... should not be underestimated."

Liu Heita nodded and said, "I also heard that Zhai Rang, the chief of Wagang Village, was a very loyal person. He saved many lives when walking in the rivers and lakes in his early years. He did not seek repaid kindness. He was a well-known man. I once heard from the general that He Ruochongshan also received the favor of Zhai Rang. This person only raised the flag in Wagang and countless heroes went to surrender. This shows that his reputation on the Green Forest Road is really great. The local people responded one after another. The fishermen and coolies on the bank of the Yellow River actually built a Tujia within ten days. The government repeatedly sent troops to suppress the defeated ones.

Ye Huaixue nodded slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go."

She whispered.

Liu Heita and Jiaer nodded, then quietly retreated. Zhu Yishi suddenly sat on the ground and said, "If you don't tell me where to go, I won't leave. Believe it or not, I will shout loudly now? As long as the official army rushed over, none of us can leave."

Liu Heita said angrily: "Why are you so rogue? Are you leaving?"

"Don't leave!"

Zhu Yishi also got angry: "If I don't tell my wife and children where they are now, I won't leave!"

Liu Heita stepped forward and kicked him in the butt and said angrily: "We have worked hard to rescue you. It's fine if you don't have a word of thanks until now, why are you still dragging your back?"

Zhu Yishi said: "If you don't tell me where I'm going, if you don't tell my wife and children, I won't leave! Of course, even if you save me, I won't do it if you want me to be a thief! My family's innocence was made, and I made countless contributions to the Great Sui Dynasty in my early years. I used the big ships built by my Zhu family to be practical, and I will never be a thief!"

Liu Heita wanted to say something else, but Ye Huaixue waved his hand and said lightly: "Okay, you can stay here by yourself. If you are willing to shout, just say, how will the people in the government treat you? Let's see if the people in the government help you find your wife and children? Let's see if you can still go back to the Zhu family!"

"you!"

Zhu Yishi opened his mouth, but Ye Huaixue really ignored him and walked straight away.

Liu Heita smiled and said, "Please, it is considered as if we have saved you from Jiangdu. Let's leave you!"

After saying that, he left too. Jiaer stopped by Zhu Yishi. Zhu Yishi knew that Jiaer had the best temper. He just asked her for a few words, but heard Jiaer sigh and said two words.

"idiot"

Zhu Yishi was stunned, and his face suddenly became miserable. He sat there in anger, but saw Ye Huaixue and others really ignored him and walked away without even turning his head. Zhu Yishi felt panicked and quickly got up and ran after him. He ran so anxiously that he tripped and fell down. He lay on the ground and looked up and saw Ye Huaixue and others ignored him.

"You just said that the people in Wagang Village are loyal, but you are so unfaithful, why are you embarrassed to compare with others? How can you save someone so irresponsible? If you save someone, you have to save them to the end!"

Li Xian stood by the water and watched the five thousand new recruits who had recently been recruited into Zeli. Chen Queer studied He Ruobi's marching notes these days and had basically mastered the training methods of the navy. At the beginning, he did not ask the recruits to board the ship to practice fleet tactics, but divided the five thousand people into a team of hundreds, allowing them to practice fighting and swimming and diving in the shallow waters of the water.

There are hundreds of ships in the water mooring. Although they are not regular warships, they are suitable for transporting troops. Some soldiers who are familiar with the water nature are slid back and forth on the water surface. Chen Quer made them familiar with the orders of the banners between the ships. On the shore, thousands of soldiers are building water camps and have begun to take shape.

Apart further, there are about a thousand craftsmen building shipyards.

Chen Que'er walked to Li Xian and said, "The soldiers have been practicing for many days, and they have almost developed the ability to float. But this ship is indeed a bit bad. I asked those craftsmen that although these grain-carrying ships are not troublesome to change, if they are installed with crossbows, they are afraid they can't bear it."

Chen Que'er pointed to the shipyard and said, "Those craftsmen we "invite" from both sides of the Yellow River. Some of them worked in the shipyard in the Sui Dynasty, and a few had real skills. They only made them build the "Huanglong" Clippers that could accommodate more than 100 soldiers, but they could not build the "Five-Tooth" large ships that could accommodate more than 1,000 people."

He smiled and said, "Thank you, there is no problem with the trees in our ze River building. You don't have to go to Jiangnan to transport wood!"

"It's not possible without a big ship."

Li Xian nodded and said, "I don't know how the matter is going on with everyone Ye. If you can really invite the Zhu family and have their guidance, it should be fine if so many craftsmen build a few five-toothed ships for you within a year. There are many craftsmen who can build ships on both sides of the Yellow River, and there are many craftsmen who can build ships beside the waters. I didn't expect that so many people could be found in just a short time."

Chen Que'er said: "Even if you can't invite people from the Zhu family, you can steal the shipbuilding pictures."

He calculated the days and said, "Everyone Ye has left for some time. I don't know if things go smoothly."

Li Xian looked at the boundless water and said silently for a while: "You train the navy well, I want to go to Jiangnan in person!"
