Chapter 81: Temporary
Although Lu Li's Caobang ferry was in tatters, the Caobang elites on the boat always felt that there was a pair of cold eyes staring at them from behind. They did not dare to neglect and rowed hard all the way. It was no better than the intact one.
The big ferry is slow.
Lu Li's mind was trembling this time. The appearance of the Dongjiang Jiao completely shocked him. So much so that he was in a daze all the way. Even when Zheng Yongxing came to talk to him, he didn't react for a while.
"Master Lu?" Zheng Yongxing shouted again.
Lu Li finally came to his senses and frowned, "What's the matter?"
Zheng Yongxing said respectfully: "I have something to ask of Master Lu."
Lu Li said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Zheng Yongxing looked at the remaining two dozen brothers on the deck below and said, "I also want to follow Mr. Lu in the future."
"Huh?" Lu Li asked doubtfully, "The head of Cao University treats you well, why do you want to leave him?"
Zheng Yongxing said: "The master treats me well, but now that I am following Mr. Lu's profession, the master will no longer trust me. Although I did not take action this time, it is no different from doing it. The master is a man of loyalty.
Man, if I still stay in Caogang in the future, every time he sees me, he will think of me killing my fellow disciples. In order to protect myself, I'd better leave first."
Lu Li praised: "As expected of Dian evil's confidant, he sees clearly. From now on, just follow me and I will recommend you in front of the Duke."
Zheng Yongxing said with great joy: "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Li said yes and stopped talking. His hands were still shaking involuntarily, obviously he hadn't fully recovered from the shock.
Unknowingly, the big ferry was already arriving at the landing port of Caobang Water Village. The Caobang boys who were guarding the landing port in front were surprised to see the big ferry in such a damaged condition and hurried over to greet it.
After the big ferry docked at Caobang Water Village, everyone on the boat heaved a long sigh of relief. Lu Li didn't say much and just asked the guards on the shore to lead the way. He was going to see Dian evil.
The Caobang guards knew that this was the steward of the Duke's Mansion who had been here before, and immediately led the way respectfully.
The damaged big ferry has been sold to Zhen Guo Gong, so it is difficult for the Cao Gang's children to get on board. Besides, the ship is already in such a broken condition, Zhen Guo Gong will probably not want it anymore.
The night gradually darkened, and the lights in the Caobang Water Village were brightly lit. Dian evil hosted a banquet in honor of Lu Li and the remaining Caobang elites.
Dian Sin had just made a cursory inquiry and found out that their mission had been successfully completed. But it was not until the banquet that Lu Li talked about the Dongjiang Dragon King.
At first Dian E thought it was Lu Li's hallucination after he was on a mission and felt heavy-hearted. But when he heard Zheng Yongxing and those Cao Gang elites talking like this, he became a little unhappy, thinking that they were there after taking refuge with the Duke of Zhen.
He flattered Lu Li regardless of the reality. However, he thought that these Cao Gang disciples would be the people of the Zhen Guogong from now on, so he let them go.
Seeing Dian's evil and disbelieving him, Lu Li drank wine and said, "Dongjiang Dragon King also said that you, the pian master, used to specialize in digging holes and sinking ships."
The wine in Dian E's mouth spurted out with a pop, and he thought to himself: "This is what I did when I was alone against the Wu Cang Gang. Even the person next to me didn't know. What happened to Lu Li?"
Do you know? Could it be that there really is the Dragon King of Dongjiang?"
The dinner party gradually dispersed as everyone was changing cups and cups. Dian Si winked at Zheng Yongxing, who took Lu Lu away to the guest room in Shuizhai to rest.
Late at night, Zheng Yongxing's figure appeared on the white jade bricks of the parliament hall. Dian Si had been waiting here for a long time.
After all, Zheng Yongxing is Dian E's confidant. Even though he has stated today that he will follow Lu Li, they have had a master-servant relationship for so many years.
Zheng Yongxing informed Dian Ni of everything that happened on the Dongjiang River. When he mentioned that their Cao Gang's ferry was bombed and Lu Li asked the Cao Gang elites to surround and kill the survivors, Zheng Yongxing clearly felt that there was a strong murderous aura in Dian Ni.
Zheng Yongxing was a little afraid to go on. But after Dian E sighed helplessly, Dian E said something and continued.
Zheng Yongxing then told the following events one by one. He talked about how the two innate warriors broke through the realm and advanced to cultivation. They made a gap in the sky with one blow, but they both fell into the river and were swallowed by the Dongjiang Dragon King.
Zheng Yongxing also listened to the conversation between the Dongjiang Dragon King and Lu Li word for word. Dian E knew that he had really offended the Dongjiang Dragon King this time, and secretly hated the despicable Lu Li for taking all the blame.
They took the money from Caobang. Fortunately, the Dragon King of Dongjiang understood the righteousness and demanded compensation from the Fang family of Jin, but did not ask Caobang to make compensation.
Dian evil paced back and forth in the council hall. After careful consideration, he decided to find a Taoist priest with some knowledge to come over tomorrow to open an altar to worship. At the same time, he asked the Cao gang to buy all the cattle and sheep that could be bought nearby and sacrifice them all to him.
Dongjiang Dragon King.
When Zheng Yongxing heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, and he also said that the master really had foresight. In this way, the Dragon King of Dongjiang would not only not blame the Cao Gang, but also feel the awe of the master.
Dian E could see Zheng Yongxing's loyalty, but now that the situation was forcing them, their role as master and servant could only go so far.
The night was low, and the stars were shining in the sky. Three figures quietly appeared in the damaged ferry, and then quickly disappeared into the night. Just like the information sent back to the Duke of Zhen, the Caobang ferry was in
There was an explosion in the middle section of the Dongjiang River, and no one on board survived.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Lord Qi Fang in the coffin with relief, and said with tears: "Fang'er, you can rest in peace."
At the same time, the information about Dongjiang Jiao in the intelligence shocked the Jin royal family. The golden-faced man urgently mobilized the royal family's inventory to gather fifty century-old medicinal herbs, and transported them to the Dongjiang River along with five thousand cattle and sheep.
.What makes the golden-faced man embarrassed is that the Dongjiang Jiao didn’t even pay him any attention after swallowing the medicinal materials, cattle and sheep, and sank directly into the Dongjiang River. In the eyes of the Dongjiang Jiao, the golden-masked man was promoted by relying on inferior elixirs.
An innate warrior who can fly away with just one tail, so he doesn't even bother to talk to him.
The golden-masked man was left alone in the bow of the boat, disheveled in the wind, and he resented Zhen Guo Gong Fang Qing even more.
The Caobang ferry encountered a big storm on the river, and the news that all the people on the ship were killed also spread to nearby towns. Although the mayor of Qufeng already knew the result, he still felt a little sad when he actually heard the news.
After all, they had dinner at the same table, even though A Da and Shi Wu came uninvited that time.
At Fengdu Port, the Cao Gang and the fishermen on the family boat spontaneously held a mourning ceremony for the victims. Xing Laosan cried the most sadly. While burning paper money for Ji Dadan on his family boat, he complained that he did not stop him.
Come down. He started talking about them when they were young, crying while talking. Xing's third daughter-in-law, who had been listening silently, also really shed tears this time. People's hearts are full of flesh. Although Ji Dandao is usually muddy, he
They have become a new person and can even use the money they earn to buy food for their daughter.
Just when Feng Dukou was mourning, Ji DaDao stepped down from the rented carriage in Dongjiang Town with empty steps. He thought that he had not left for a few days, why was Feng DuKou so lifeless? Sure enough, Ji DaDao was gone without him.
It won't be lively anymore.
It was approaching evening and the sky was getting dark. When Ji boldly returned to his home boat, he saw Xing Laosan's family burning paper next door. He asked in confusion: "Third brother, what are you doing?"
Xing Laosan was startled by Ji DaDao's voice. He threw paper money into the brazier and said, "Da Dao, why are you back tonight when it's not the first seven days? Could it be that I miss you too much and you can't wait any longer?"
Just come back first."
Ji DaDaFeng didn't react for a while, thinking why Xing Laosan was burning paper. He didn't see Xing Laosan's wife, so he blurted out: "Something happened to sister-in-law?"
Xing's third daughter-in-law happened to come out of the cabin at this time. When she saw Ji DaDa, she was so frightened that all the fish in her hands dropped to the ground. She panicked and said: "Brother Da Da, you, you, you... you can't do this! My former sister-in-law
It's a bit mean, but it's also because you shamelessly took advantage of your third brother all day long. Now that you're dead, the first seven came to us before the first seven arrived, and when people outside found out, they thought we were sorry for you!"
Ji DaDang finally understood that they thought he was dead because of his absence for the past few days. Just as Ji DaDang was about to explain, he suddenly remembered that Xing Lao's third daughter-in-law often used words to humiliate him. He twisted his head and whimpered in a miserable voice.
: "Sister-in-law, you keep talking about me all the time, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. That's why I came back early just to get an explanation."
Xing Laosan's wife became even more frightened when she heard this. She was so frightened that she hid behind Xing Laosan and said, "Please help me quickly."
When Xing Laosan heard what Ji DaDaDa said, it was good, but now that Yin and Yang are separated, Ji DaDa couldn't scare his mother-in-law so much, so he stood up and said, "Da DaDa, your sister-in-law is usually a bit harsh."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Laosan's wife pinched Xing Laosan's back, which made him scream in pain. He quickly added: "But she is doing it for your own good. Look at how lazy you are usually.
What's going on? Fortunately, we help you attract customers, otherwise you wouldn't even have money to live on every day. You already knew how to gamble and sleep, so who can blame you! We only say a few words to you if we care about you. If we don't care about you, just say a few words to you.
I just want to laugh at you."
When Ji DaDang heard this, he became anxious and said: "Third brother, what you said is wrong. I am lazy, but I still think of you whenever something good happens. You used to take me to drink flower wine, but now I have money.
I just want to take you to Dongjiang Town for fun. If you say that to me, I won’t be happy."
"Huh? Flower wine!" When Xing's third daughter-in-law heard that her man had gone to drink flower wine, and she took Ji Dadan along with her, she felt a surge of anger in her head, and she was no longer afraid of anything.
Xing's third daughter-in-law chased after Ji boldly and said, "Tell me clearly, what flower wine to drink! How many times have you gone to drink it?"
Xing's third daughter-in-law had strong hands, but Ji DaDa was grabbed by him like this, and screamed in pain. Only then did Xing's third daughter-in-law realize that Ji DaDa was a big deal, and she sneered and picked up the broom next to her and chased her.
Up.
Ji boldly yelled as he ran away: "Sister-in-law, stop fighting! I've never drank! Ouch, ouch! I only drank once! Just once!"
"You've never drank before, right? Just once!" Xing's third daughter-in-law became more and more angry as she listened, and she used more strength in her hands, beating Ji boldly until he begged for mercy again and again.
Xing Laosan just watched his wife chasing Ji Dadan all the way. He looked at the paper money still burning in the brazier and felt that he should go to the cabin and have a good sleep before coming out.
There are only a few lucky ones like Ji DaDa. From that day on, Caobang canceled the evening ferry. Because every time we sailed through the middle section of the Dongjiang River at night, we could always hear the wails of the dead, that kind of deep throat.
Chapter completed!
