Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei, Lu Bu and his party left Xiangyang City, went straight to the Han River flowing through Xiangyang, and went south by boat.

The journey was smooth and smooth, and soon entered the main road of the Yangtze River.

Take a boat to the east, followed by waterways.

As the sun rises, a round of red sun bursts out from the eastern sky, and the sky is full of red clouds.The golden light sprinkled on the water surface, reflecting a piece of clear gold, magnificent and colorful.

On the Taotao River, a large ship sails forward, rides the wind and waves, and flows eastward along the current.

"Thirty-nine! Forty!..."

On the deck, a childish and resolute voice came out.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy, bare-armed, exposing a skinny body.With his hands on the ground, he was doing push-ups on the deck facing the rising sun.This young man is none other than Cai Chi, the disciple Wang Lei just accepted.After Wang Lei took Cai Chi away from Xiangyang, Wang Lei hardly asked about the study, but for Cai Chi's frail body, Wang Lei kept recuperating.

Wang Lei did not let Cai Chi practice martial arts directly. With Cai Chi's frail body, it is impossible to practice martial arts directly. It takes time to recuperate before he can start practicing martial arts.Wang Lei exercised Cai Chi with push-ups, sit-ups, squats, etc.With Cai Chi's current physical condition, he can only carry out such basic exercises and gradually deepen them.

After finishing the push-ups, Cai Chi faced the rising sun and continued to squat.

After Wang Lei and Lu Bu finished their morning exercises, they sat on the deck, chatting and laughing with the river breeze blowing.

Lu Bu stared at Cai Chi with an admiring expression on his face, and said with a smile: "My dear brother, at the beginning, I didn't agree with your training method. I thought it was too weird and not very useful. After observing for a period of time, you This set of martial arts exercises works well. Cai Chi is getting stronger and stronger. However, this set of martial arts can only lay the foundation, and the follow-up is of little use."

Cai Chi just followed Wang Lei, his footsteps were flimsy, his cheeks were pale, and he looked weak.

In a short period of time, a lot has changed.

After exercising and recuperating, the energy and blood are full, and the steps are much calmer.

Lu Bu also admired such a change.

Wang Lei smiled and said, "Brother is too praised. This is because Cai Chi has perseverance and can persevere. If it were the rest of the children, I'm afraid they would have quit."

Lu Bu laughed, picked up the boiled tea, and Niu took a sip.

"Teacher, there is a big ship ahead."

Suddenly, Cai Chi, who was squatting against the rising sun, yelled.

Hearing this, Wang Lei stood up and looked ahead.

The water on the surface of the river was filled with mist and hazy, and the real situation could not be seen clearly, but a large ship could be clearly seen coming.Around this big ship, there are five other warships following.In water battles in this era, there are no artillery, no missiles, and no so-called rackets and other weapons. Some of them are direct and simple impacts.

The warships are small and fast, and they are built to ram enemy warships.

Wang Lei's heart skipped a beat as the big boat brought five small boats across the waves.

"Brother, we may have encountered a water thief."

Wang Lei squinted his eyes and stared at the big boat ahead with solemn eyes.

Due to the transpiration of water mist on the river surface, the vision was blurred, and it was temporarily impossible to see the situation on the other party's boat clearly.But a large ship and five warships appeared all at once, the situation is definitely not simple.

"alert!"

Lu Bu's eyes sparkled, he stood up, and shouted with high spirits.

"Bring my general's Fang Tian painting halberd!"

As Lu Bu shouted, the soldiers quickly brought Fang Tian's painted halberd to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu stood at the bow of the boat, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, pointed to the front, and said loudly, "Don't worry, brother. Although we are not used to water battles, the river is calm and there are no waves. When the other party rushes, let's kill him. There are people on the other side, so don’t be afraid.”

Wang Lei is not so optimistic. This is the river, not land.

On land, Lu Bu rode a fiery red red rabbit horse, and he was invincible across the battlefield.If it was on the river, a small water thief would be enough to deal with the mighty Lu Bu.

The sun shone, the mist dissipated, and the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed.

The situation on the big ship became clear.

On the big boat that was coming towards him, there was a burly young man standing on the bow. He stood facing the wind, and the cloak on his back fluttered with the wind, whistling.He carries a bow and arrow, has bird feathers on his head, wears a bell on his body, is gorgeously dressed, has a fluffy and casual bun, and is extremely sturdy.Behind the young man stood gorgeously dressed people with different expressions.

Seeing who came, Wang Lei frowned.

Wang Lei is no stranger to this attire, anyone who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms knows that it is the attire of Jinfan thief Gan Ning.Shi Zai, a native of Linjiang, Ba County, Ganning, was 18 years old and served as the governor of Shu County. He was young and successful.It's a pity that Gan Ning's arrogant personality angered the Shangguan and was eventually dismissed.After Gan Ning ceased to be an official, he took a group of knight-errants along the river and robbed them everywhere.

When Gan Ning was looting everywhere, he often used Jinxiu to hold the boat, and when he left, he had to cut it off and throw it away, so he was called the Jinfan thief.The person who came was the Jinfan thief, Wang Lei's heart tightened.

At this time, the visitor is not good!

Especially Gan Ning wandering on the river, he can be called a white strip in the waves, definitely not an easy person.

Be careful!

Wang Lei took a deep breath, and quickly came up with a plan, and said calmly: "Brother, the other party is a gangster on the river, and it is not easy to deal with. After the other party's boat approaches, don't rush to cause a conflict. We will take the initiative to show weakness , Let them board our ship. As long as they are on our ship, if the situation is wrong, brother can quickly capture the leader of the opponent and control the rest of the people."

Lu Bu frowned, and said disdainfully, "My dear brother, you are just a bunch of water thieves, nothing to be afraid of. You are raising the ambitions of others and destroying your own prestige."

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "Don't say anything else, brother fell into the water, can we fight again?"

"cannot!"

Lu Bu shook his head, and finally agreed with Wang Lei's plan.

In water battles, they do not gain the upper hand, they can only actively show weakness and attract the opponent's merchant ships.

As the distance got closer, Gan Ning's big boat and the boat approached quickly.However, the warship did not collide, but stopped on both sides of the big boat where Wang Lei was, but Gan Ning's big boat approached.

"Bang dang!!"

After the big ship approached, it made a muffled sound.

Gan Ning's eyes were excited, and his eyes fell on Wang Lei and Lu Bu. He clasped his fists and asked loudly, "May I ask, who is Jizhou Mu Wang Lei?"

Wang Lei clasped his fists and said, "Wang Lei is next, but Gan Ning Gan Xingba is in front?"

Gan Ning did not attack directly, Wang Lei was overjoyed.At the same time, Gan Ning actually knew his name. This time, Wang Lei felt even more relieved. It seemed that the situation was not too bad.

"Hahaha, seeing is worse than hearing, and I finally met Wang Zhoumu."

Gan Ning quickly walked over to the wooden planks between the two boats.Arriving on Wang Lei's boat, Gan Ning clasped his fists in salute, with a big smile on his face, and asked, "Wang Zhoumu has lived in Jizhou for a long time, does he know about Gan Ning?"

There was a hint of joy in his tone.

Wang Lei is not only a Jizhou shepherd appointed by the imperial court, but also a world-famous poet and calligrapher.Gan Ning's inner joy can be imagined that such a person actually knows about a water thief.
