This open lake surrounded by dense reeds is about the size of half a football field, but the five-bow boats are facing each other in a tense confrontation. Among them, the three-bow boats are all men with fierce looks, but the weapons in their hands are as fierce as

Their appearance was generally crooked, but one of them actually carried a rusty dung fork, which showed that this group of robbers was really not doing well!

On the other hand, the people on the other two bow boats, although they were small in number, were neatly dressed, and the standard horizontal swords shone coldly in the sun. The middle-aged man in the leader even held a pair of exquisite horn bows, which were obviously valuable, and the equipment was crushing.

The thieves on the opposite side.

I saw the bodies of three bandits floating on the water. They were all hit by arrows in the throat and through the neck. They were dead. It was obvious that the middle-aged man holding the bow had very good archery skills.

Three arrows were fired, one of which pierced the throat!

The bandits were obviously intimidated by the opponent's sharp arrows. Although there were many people, they did not dare to attack in groups, let alone turn around and run away. However, the bandits had hostages in their hands, and the middle-aged man holding a bow threw a rat weapon, and the same was true.

They didn't dare to start rashly, so the two sides reached a stalemate.

Gao Bufan looked carefully from a distance, and saw a little girl on the bow of the pirate ship that blocked the outlet of the waterway being guarded by two bandits. She was about eleven or twelve years old.

A little lolita.

The little Loli didn't know whether she was frightened or she was very nervous. Although the knife was held on her neck, she didn't cry or make a fuss. She sat quietly with her knees in her arms, looking dignified and well-educated!

At this time, the little fat boy Zhang Sun Wuji also arrived. When he saw the middle-aged man holding a bow, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Dad, my boy is here to help you!" After that, he sailed the boat directly over.

The middle-aged man holding the bow was Chang Sun Sheng, the father of Chang Sun Wuji. He nodded approvingly to Chang Sun Wuji, but a sword-wielding scribe on the other bow boat next to him reproached: "Wuji, why are you running away?"

coming?"

Changsun Wuji blushed and lowered his head: "Uncle, I really can't worry about Guanyin."

"Nonsense, aren't you causing trouble?" the sword-wielding scribe scolded.

Changsun Sheng waved his hand: "It's rare for my son to have such courage. Now that he's here, let him get some exercise. There is no need to blame him for being honest."

The sword-wielding scribe's name was Gao Jian, whose nickname was Shi Lian. He was from a prominent family of the Bohai Gao family, and was the brother-in-law of Chang Sun Sheng. Hearing this, he could only smile bitterly and said: "Brother, you are too indulgent and unbridled."

"On the contrary, I just hope that Wuji can grow up quickly." Changsun Sheng coughed twice after speaking, and a sickly flush appeared on his slightly pale face.

Gao Shilian was hesitant to speak, but after taking a look at the anxious Changsun Wuji, he finally chose to remain silent.

At this time, the two boats of bandits pursuing from behind also sailed into the lake, and the three boats of bandits who were confronting Chang Sun Sheng and others actually cheered loudly and shouted: "Master!"

Gao Bufan's heart was moved, and he looked intently, and saw a majestic man standing majestically on the bow of the ship, wearing a sleeveless jacket on his upper body, revealing two muscular arms, and carrying a bright ghost on his shoulders.

He has a big sword on his head and his long hair flutters wildly in the wind, making him very domineering.

"Young master, this guy should be the first gold medal of a bandit, nicknamed Jinyaju. There is a wanted sign for him at the gate of the city. If he is caught and turned over to the county government, he will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver." Gao Ren greedily swallowed it.

Swallow your saliva.

"Then there must be a life flower." Gao Shou said with fear on his face: "It is said that this bastard led people to slaughter Wangpo Village. He even didn't spare the babies under one month old. They are worse than animals!"

At this time, the bandit leader on the bow of the boat suddenly turned his head and looked here, his eyes fierce as if they were real. The faces of Gao Shou and Gao Ren turned pale for an instant, and Gao Bufan also felt a little scared. Did he hear that?

Just when Gao Bufan was doubtful, the bandit leader grinned ferociously, revealing two big golden teeth, raised his left hand, wiped his neck, and then laughed arrogantly!

Gao Bufan was secretly surprised. This gangster, Zhang Jinsheng, was not very good at martial arts, but his ears were very strong. He could hear what Gao Bufan whispered even from a long distance away!

The bandit Zhang Jinsheng obviously did not take Gao Bufan's master and servant seriously. After issuing the threat, he left a bandit boat to block the entrance of the lake, and then approached Chang Sun Sheng and others. He probably planned to kill Chang Sun first.

Sheng, let’s deal with insignificant little fish and shrimps like Gao Bufan.

Let's talk about the bandit Zhang Jinsheng approaching with a boat and surrounding Zhang Sun Sheng, Gao Shilian and others with three other pirate boats. However, when he saw the floating corpses of the three bandits on the lake, his expression instantly darkened and he asked sternly.

Said: "Who killed me?"

"I killed him, General." Changsun Sheng said calmly. Although his tone was calm, he still had a tough aura.

Zhang Jin said with a fierce look in his eyes, he sneered: "Nowadays, there are as many people claiming to be generals as lackeys. Who are you?"

Gao Shilian angrily rebuked: "Thief, I blinded your dog eyes and robbed the general You Xiaowei on the head. You really don't know whether to live or die. If you know what to do, let your subordinates release him immediately. Otherwise, when the imperial army arrives, Gao Shilian will be defeated."

Chicken park!”

Zhang Jinsheng blurted out: "Are you Chang Sun Sheng who kills two birds with one stone?"

Changsun Sheng may not be as famous as Changsun Wuji in later generations, but in the Sui Dynasty, Changsun Sheng was a famous figure and the core figure of the Changsun family. He was highly valued by the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty.

The ingenious plan of "weak" divided and disintegrated the Turks, and the Sui Dynasty was able to unify the country and quickly became stronger.

Changsun Sheng was highly skilled in martial arts, especially good at riding and archery, and his archery skills were as good as gods. During his mission to the Turks, he once shot down two large eagles with one arrow in front of the Turkic Shabolu Khan. His skill shocked everyone. This is also an idiom.

The origin of the allusion of "killing two birds with one stone".

"Thief, since you know how powerful my father is, why don't you let my sister go right away, or you will die without a burial place." Changsun Wuji shouted with a sullen face.

The bandits couldn't help but look angry, and Zhang Jin said he was also unhappy. If he hadn't been frightened by the reputation of Changsun Sheng's divine arrow, he would have killed this fat man who was even more arrogant than him.

"Bah, you are so crazy. Believe it or not, I will kill your sister with a knife right now!" A gangster with a crooked mouth lifted the little Loli up and pointed a dagger at her lower abdomen.

The little Loli was so frightened that her face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, but she resisted crying. Changsun Wuji was frightened and angry, and he bent his bow and arrow but did not dare to shoot, for fear of hurting his sister, he was so anxious

He stamped his feet!

"Brother, I'm fine, don't worry, just listen to daddy!" Little Loli actually opened her mouth to comfort Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji felt ashamed and distressed. His father always said that he needed to be calm when encountering big things. Alas, he was even worse than his sister in this regard.

Gao Shilian held a long sword in his hand and said nervously: "Don't be afraid, Wu Guo, uncle will definitely rescue you."

"Wugou?" Gao Bufan had a flash of idea in his mind and almost blurted out, Damn it, the eldest grandson Wugou? The eldest grandson of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin's queen, Wugou? Could it be that this little loli is...?

Although Gao Bufan is not a student of history, how could he not recognize Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty? Changsun Wugou was also a very famous virtuous queen in history. No wonder the name Changsun Wuji is so familiar. He turned out to be the brother-in-law of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

The first of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

At this time, Chang Sun Sheng finally spoke, staring at Zhang Jinchen and saying word by word: "Let the little girl go, I will let you leave, and I will not pursue this matter further."

Zhang Jin said he was secretly angry. Of course he didn't want to offend a powerful figure like Chang Sun Sheng. After all, with his current strength, if the court sent heavy troops to suppress it, he would never be able to resist it. However, Chang Sun Sheng's condescending tone really made him unhappy.

, and if he backs down just like that, his prestige in the eyes of the brothers will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Jincheng cupped his hands and said: "General Changsun, a certain Zhang Jincheng, you are a good man. If I had known in advance that the forecastle boat passing by on the canal was your family's ride, I would have done nothing wrong. But as the saying goes,

The thief will not make a fool of himself. There are rules on the road. If you ask a certain family to let him go, you can redeem him with three thousand taels of silver. In this way, a certain family will also have an account to all the brothers."

Changsun Sheng frowned. It was not that he could not afford the three thousand taels of silver, but if this matter spread, not only would his eldest son's family lose face, but the court would also lose face. Moreover, given the moody, narrow-minded and suspicious nature of Sui Emperor Yang Guang,

, maybe he will be punished!

However, Changsun Sheng pondered for a moment, and finally decided to pay the ransom to save the person first. He said solemnly: "Okay, but you must release the person immediately. In three days, the general will order someone to transport three thousand taels of silver here."

"The rules on our road are to hand over the goods with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." Sun Yan, the second boss, sneered.

Zhang Jinsheng waved his hand generously and said: "No need, a certain family trusts General Changsun, so there is no problem in letting him go first, but a certain family has a good word to say to General Changsun."

"General, I am all ears and respect you!"

Zhang Jincheng said with emotion: "Yang Guang was cruel and unjust, resorted to militarism, and imposed exorbitant taxes, so that the people of the world had no means of living, and ten houses were empty. Last year there was a severe drought in Shandong, and this year the floods are raging, and there is no grain harvest. Countless people have died of starvation. Even though

In this way, Yang Guang also issued an edict to recruit two million civilians to go to Goryeo. As the saying goes, the officials forced the people to rebel. Nowadays, people raising righteous flags to rebel against the Sui Dynasty are everywhere. General Changsun is a hero, why should he continue to assist Yang Guang, a faint king? If General Changsun is willing

Abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, we raise troops to defy the people and fight against evil. We are willing to follow the general to do great things together. With the general's ability, we will definitely achieve great things."
