Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 229 Seal of King Wu
Everyone stood on the boat, their figures swayed, and the boatman took advantage of the few people not being caught, and suddenly threw a bowl of powder at Yang Cheng's face.

Yang Cheng had been on guard for a long time, and he quickly blocked the backhand, knocking the bowl of poisonous rice noodles to the ground.Taking this opportunity, the boatman turned around and drew out a scimitar, and slashed at him, while shouting fiercely:
"I don't want to be confused to death, okay, since I insist on being a fool like this, I will help you all!"

On the other side, Niu Chicao and the others noticed that someone had jumped onto the boat, and when they looked back, they turned out to be the burly man and the young man who had rowed past just now.They quietly passed the boat that Xu Qing was on, and jumped on board to help when the boatman's incident was revealed.

At this time, the two of them also had ferocious faces, rushing forward with a gleaming knife.

It was too late to say that, Niu Checao and Wang Shan took out the knife from the burden behind them, bowed and jumped, and confronted the two of them.The knives of several people chop each other, clang, you come and go, but you can't tell which is up and which is up.

Although the bull grazing was a temporary response to the enemy, after more than a dozen rounds, relying on the veteran's experience and strong strength, he gradually suppressed the opponent.Next to Xu Qing, there was Zhang Linye, who also picked up the knife, but went to help Yang Cheng who was fighting with the boatman.Two tigers fighting wolves, no matter how vicious the boatman was, he couldn't deal with it, and gradually showed signs of failure.

Both sides are fighting with desperate strength, it's not like in the novel, three moves and five moves can wipe out thousands of troops.

Both sides fought fiercely, but Xu Qing only had in his hands a pair of chopsticks and a bowl that he had eaten just now. The knife was still in the bag, and the bag was in the cabin. Where can I get it?Can only watch helplessly.

Seeing that his strength was exhausted, that rough man stood up, knowing that today's matter was to fight with his life, so he forced a breath of air in his stomach, and recklessly chopped up the cattle and ate grass a few times.Niu Chicao subconsciously avoids his sharp edge, dodges, and reveals a gap, and this gap just happens to see Xu Qing who is standing stupidly.

The rough man saw Xu Qingkong who was standing behind the gap with his hands in a daze, thinking about shooting people first, shooting horses, capturing, and "thieves" capturing the king first, he jumped over with the determination to die, and raised the steel knife as high as a mountain, like the momentum of the sea , in response to the shout, chopped down.

Seeing that Xu Qing had been exposed, Niu Checao was extremely angry and regretful, and hurried over to help Xu Qing.Xu Qing didn't have anything in his hand, so he had no choice but to throw the chopsticks and the bowl over and hit the rough man in the face.But these two things failed to stop the knife from falling, so Xu Qing took a step back in fright.

Unexpectedly, this step stumbled against the side of the boat, and when he lost his balance, Xu Qing fell headlong into the water, and the fatal knife only fell on the side of the boat.

Moreover, the knife got stuck in the wood and couldn't be pulled out for a while.At this time, the cow caught up with the grass, and it was also chopped down with a knife.

The head rolled down, and the blood splashed on the spot!
Xu Qing choked a few mouthfuls in the water and exposed his head. Just in time, Zhang Linye also cut the boatman's calf, and Yang Cheng took advantage of the situation to catch him.The cow swung the knife backwards, and the back of the knife hit the young man who was fighting with Wang Shan, knocking him unconscious to the ground.

"Ah, it's so cold!" Xu Qing thought in the water, fortunately he can swim a little bit, and now he can keep himself from choking on the water, but it's just that in the midwinter season, it was snowing not long ago, how cold is the water? !Xu Qing swiped a few times, and immediately felt that he couldn't use his strength, and his whole body seemed to be stiff.

Several people on the boat were also in a hurry, looking for chains and thick ropes, which happened to be on the boat, tied up the two people who had been knocked and knocked unconscious, and then fished out Xu Qing.

As the river wind blew past, Xu Qing shivered on the boat with runny nose. He quickly took off his clothes and got into the cabin.In the luggage, I saw the big cotton coat and put it on again. Although I still couldn't help the cold war, I was able to speak.

He ordered the people outside not to kill people first, and then brought the stove in, and it turned out to be dry wood for burning.

After the furnace was warm, Xu Qing put on his clothes again. The one that fell into the water was not dry, so it was naturally a new one.

Outside, Niu Chicao and others began to interrogate the two people who were tied up, and the two scolded: "Hmph, I told you to mind your own business and tell Zhu Yichen that cowardly suppressing bandits, I don't know how many brothers in my village escaped. Yes, there is a second time, and a third time! You just wait!"

Niu Chicao picked up the scull stick and hit each of them on the head. Beside him, the young man was shivering. To wake him up, cold water was poured on him just now.

"It seems that you guys are really wicked?" Xu Qing also walked out of the cabin. He wanted to pretend to be calm, but in the cold wind, his nose flowed down once again.

It turned out to be like this, the road was blocked by heavy snow a few days ago, Xu Qing and others stayed in Zhu Yijiang's barracks, and helped him check the files. There was a pile of delays around Yuhang that lasted for several years, and more than a hundred people were killed The big case was declared solved.At that time, Zhu Yijiang led troops to encircle and suppress Xu Qing in the mountains and forests, and also wrote to Chen Yili to prepare to intercept the remnants of the enemy.

The bandits are good at hiding their tracks. Once they find out where they are hiding, they will be vulnerable. Zhu Yijiang ended the bandit suppression with a big victory.After the bandits were suppressed, Zhu Yijiang not only gained military honors, but he was also able to get rid of the crime of fleeing and falling into the grass.

More than a hundred suspicious cases were wronged, and the prefectures and counties were overjoyed. They organized people to condolences to Zhu Yijiang's general military mansion.

God, it seemed that he had also heard the news, it was snowing and it was sunny.

Xu Qing waved his sleeves, before Zhu Yijiang came to thank him, he took his family and left.Taking advantage of the fine weather, I set off across the river to play in Yangzhou for a day or two. This is the previous article, and I just came back today.He didn't know that when the bandits were suppressed, the bandit leader had already escaped.

Another letter, sent from Chen Yili, said that the water ghost had escaped from prison and disappeared.But before writing a letter to Xu Qing, Xu Qing encountered the tricks of the remaining gangsters.

The cattle were grazing and judging people, but Yang Cheng paid attention to other places on the boat. He went to the place where the boatman kept his personal belongings, picked up the black cloth, took out the burden, shook his arms, and dropped a copper seal.

Seeing this, the boatman turned pale with fright, his legs started to move, even the cow grazing standing could hardly hold him back.

"Oh?" Xu Qing picked it up and took a look. It was engraved with four large characters of "Wu Wangzhiyin" in official script.

"Hey, big boss..." Xu Qing sneered: "Haha! My king is on top, and I will be next to worship hahaha..."

"Hmph! Young man, let me tell you that you must be killed and never humiliated. You will be punished in the future!"

Xu Qing laughed, turned around and asked, "Water Ghost? Liu Yuanjin? King Wu?"

No, doesn't the water ghost look like this?Xu Qing thought in his heart, and then asked Yang Cheng: "Do you know how to change your appearance?"

"I don't know, what does my lord mean?" Yang Cheng shook his head and said, then looked at the other three people, all of them shook their heads.

"Hmph, needless to say, the old man is indeed a water ghost, also Liu Yuanjin, the former King of Wu, when I fall into your hands, kill me!" Before Xu Qing could figure out the trick, the boatman admitted it himself.

"Huh?" Xu Qing looked directly into the boatman's eyes, without any sense of panic, and asked, "Liu Yuanjin was defeated and killed by Wang Shichong back then. How can he still be here today?"

"In the first battle back then, I was indeed defeated, but I was not the one who died. Wang Shichong was eager to claim credit, so he didn't find out..." When the boatman said, his eyes dodged a little. strange.

"Who is this?" Xu Qing looked at the young man and asked, the boatman opened his mouth to say something, then immediately said with a flash of his eyes: "He is just a loyal person."

"Hahaha," Xu Qing laughed loudly: "He is the King of Wu, right? He is Liu Yuanhaxie, Jin's son, right?"

As Xu Qing said, he casually picked up a bucket of water from the boat and poured it on the boatman. Immediately, the black dirt on his face slowly melted away, and with a movement of his eyes, he used the scull to remove the boatman's hair.

It turned out to be a wig.

Under the wig is the water ghost that was bound that day!

At this moment, he looked at the young man with tears in his eyes, and called out, my lord.Looking at the sky again, he shouted, my lord.

At that time, Jiangnan was ravaged by Yang Guangzhi, you raised your voice to speak for the people, but there was no hero at that time, making Zhu Zi famous!If it weren't for those dog dealers who betrayed us by shaking their heads and tails, would Wang Shichong be able to defeat us?
The boatman saw the dumped bowl of rice noodles on the ground, rushed over and gnawed on the ground. The cow ate grass and picked him up. He said to the young man, young master, old slaves are useless.

But in a blink of an eye, the blood from the seven orifices flowed side by side, bouncing a few times like a centipede, but no longer breathing.

Toxic!Xu Qing smacked his lips, his back felt chills, as long as he took a sip just now, he would end up like a boatman.

The young man just closed his eyes, wept, and sobbed.

"Throw this man into the river, he, Haxie, come ashore with us and send him to the county government..." Xu Qing finished and returned to the cabin.With a sound of water, the water ghost, or the boatman, went into this long torrent where countless heroes were buried.

Among Xu Qing's group, Yang Cheng was a versatile player, he picked up the pole and started to work, except for scurrying around at first, but later, he stabilized the hull of the boat.

More than an hour later, at Gaozi, the young man was tied up by several people and sent to the county government.With Xu Qing's identity, the county magistrate naturally didn't doubt it, and the trial began immediately.

The young man didn't struggle, and he revealed his identity on his own.Liu Yuanjin's second son, Liu Sheng; Shui Gui, is the successor of the Three Kingdoms general Gan Ning, Gansu.The reason why they robbed and killed businessmen was not only to seek property and kill them, but also to take revenge on them.

According to him, Liu Yuanjin was a righteous man who rose up against the rebellion and a prince who was the master of the people.Yang Guang went south for the sake of the prosperity of Jiangnan, and the most exploited by him were Jiangnan businessmen, and Liu Yuanjin was one of them.It was precisely for this that he rebelled, and was later betrayed by his own people who were also businessmen.

Unknown stories, true or false, who is right and who is wrong, no one knows.The county magistrate finalizes the case, reports it to the government, state, and road, and then approves it, and chooses a day for execution.

owl head.

On the day of the execution, the water in the West Lake became turbid once it was so clear, and more than a hundred gorgeously dressed, headless, rotting corpses appeared in the center of the lake. The local fishermen dared not go to the lake for half a month.On the shore of the lake, there are twelve peach trees, as if they didn't know that it was the middle of winter, they rushed to bloom. After a few days, the peach trees withered quickly.At that time, people called it "the injustice peach". Who has the injustice?Only the remaining bandits who escaped on the mountain knew about it.

Naturally, this is a later story.

Let's talk about Xu Qing, after reuniting with Xun Xueer and others, he developed a high fever and lay in bed unable to move.Presumably it must have been caused by falling into the river that day and soaking in cold water.
