Lu's relatives

Chapter 581

When Gan Ning led the crowd back to the small island in the middle of the river where they were resting, Su Fei was already waiting around anxiously.

Seeing Gan Ning coming back, Su Fei didn't care to continue to hide his appearance with a long robe and a big hat, and dragged Gan Ning aside under the astonished gazes of all the water thieves, with an anxious expression on his face.

"Xingba, what's the matter with these people?" Without waiting for Gan Ning to ask, Su Fei pointed to a group of people who were silent in the distance, and asked anxiously.

This small island in the middle of the river is not big at all, and its four sides are only more than ten miles long. Although the withered and yellow forests and grass are lush, there is no danger or shelter. Also in the middle of the big river, unless people are very familiar with the waterways, it is really difficult for boats to get close, so Gan Ning used it as a temporary shelter.

What Su Fei was pointing at was surrounded by tens of nervous river thieves holding bows and crossbows. A few days ago, more than a hundred soldiers who entered the camp were captured because they were knocked over by Gan Ning's big boat. .Calm, silent, well-dressed, with all kinds of clothes, even though he is wearing brocade clothes, he is not like a benevolent Jiang thief, giving people a clear visual impact.

"These people..." Gan Ning was a little hard to explain.It's not that they don't trust each other. As friends, whether it's Gan Ning or Su Fei, they are friendships that can be entrusted to each other. Since Su Fei doesn't care about angering Huang Zu, he wants to find a way for Gan Ning to "clean up the whitewashing". In order not to embarrass Su Fei, Ning pretended not to see Qin Xu's implied solicitation, and could see the relationship between the two.If before Gan Ning went to meet Qin Xu, the status of these soldiers who first boarded the camp were just "captives", there would be nothing to say, and it would not be a shameful thing.But now, these hundreds of people have carried Gan Ning's sincerity and reputation. Gan Ning has accepted Qin Xu, and it is not easy to put these hundreds of people back to the shore.After all, judging from the standpoints of the two sides, Su Fei's side of Liu Biao's army is at war with Qin Xu, and if Su Fei's intention here is to run for Gan Ning, the real identities of these people It would be very embarrassing for Su Fei to say otherwise.

"Did Xingba provoke Jiangdong?" Seeing that Gan Ning, who was originally a bright-tempered person, got stuck in his words, Su Fei didn't continue to entangle with Gan Ning about the identities of these early soldiers who were clearly not from the same gang as Jiang. On the contrary, he lowered his voice even more and asked Gan Ning.

"I...cough!" Gan Ning, who was decisive in killing, was also a little embarrassed at this time, not knowing how to explain his "collaboration" behavior to this old friend who had been running for him.Looking at Su Fei's concerned and anxious eyes, Gan Ning finally decided to tell the truth, saying: "Hey! To tell you the truth, Brother Su, a few days ago when my younger brother led a group of brothers to the waterway of Wu County, they bumped into the Xuzhou Qin envoy. Going to Jiangdong to contact the returning ships, my younger brother saw that his army was well-armored, but the ships were small and dilapidated, so...cough cough..."

"Xingba, you are so confused!" Su Fei had such an expression as expected, and did not notice the honorific name Gan Ning used when addressing Qin Xu. He said: "Although my lord started a war with Marquis Lu Wen this time, although he mobilized the troops of the two prefectures and assembled most of his troops, he only used them to attack Danyang and Yuzhang counties. In terms of military strength and geographical advantage, our army has the advantage, and we dare not speak rashly, and we are extremely cautious. The lord's 800 army is like this, and Xingba, you are only [-] people, but you have mixed in for no reason. Li won a small victory, but he also caused a lot of trouble for himself! Besides... besides... hey!"

"Brother Su, isn't it serious? Why would Liu Shijun and Qin Shijun care about such a small person as Gan?" Gan Ning said with a curled lip.Because of the communication with Qin Xu, Gan Ning was somewhat disapproving of Su Fei's words.Liu Biao's battle with Lu Bu's army will certainly affect the situation in the entire Jiangdong, but he Gan Ning will only be the leader of 800 pirates when he grows up. Too much.In Gan Ning's mind, if it weren't for the relationship with Xiandengying, the two families would have noticed that he was still talking, let alone now that Gan Ning had reached a "reconciliation" with Qin Xu, and there was a standing position. From a neutral standpoint, hearing Su Fei's big trouble now, to Gan Ning, it is a bit alarmist.

"Xingba, do you think that if you leave these more than a hundred Qin Xu soldiers on the island, the scout boats of General Huang on the river will not know who these people are?" Su Fei, who knew Gan Ning's temper well, deeply Taking a breath, he said patiently: "To tell you the truth, Xingba, a certain person recommended you to General Huang the day before yesterday, hoping to find a way out for you under the command of the lord, so that Xingba's bravery will not be clouded. It was refuted by General Huang. The reason is that when Jinfan’s reputation was at its peak, he offended the aristocratic families in Jingxiang and Shu. What a violent backlash from the local aristocratic family. But just yesterday, General Huang suddenly found a brother, and there was room for change in his words. He used Xingba's bravery as an excuse to leave you the post of Captain Hengjiang Secretary, let XX come to invite you to meet. Originally XX was very happy, but now as a brother, I am afraid that I will hurt you, do you know why?"

"Liu Shijun wants to announce that Gan is the captain of Hengjiang?" Gan Ning smacked his lips, with a half-smile expression on his face, without any hint of joy or anger, and asked.

"It's not Shijun Liu, but General Huang!" Su Fei sighed deeply and said, "Before, I also blamed someone for talking too much, and said that you went to Wu County to investigate and wanted to hand over the certificate..."

"Could it be that General Huang wants to present Gan as a bargaining chip for Captain Hengjiang, and he just wants these more than a hundred soldiers under Qin Shijun's command?" Gan Ning said with a strange smile on his face.

"Although General Huang didn't say it clearly, I think it can't be wrong!" Su Fei glanced at the captured soldiers who were still silent and calm in confronting Gan Ning's gangsters, and turned sideways, saying to Gan Ning .

"Brother Su, what is Gan Ning's plan? Should I use the heads of these hundreds of soldiers who entered the camp first to exchange the official seals of the Hengjiang Colonel for fun, or use the lives of these hundreds of people to exchange their backgrounds with the envoy of Qin?" Gan Ning stared straight into Su Fei's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Both are unacceptable! General Huang is using a knife to kill people, and Xing Ba is involved in it. It's okay if he has no merit, but if he makes a great contribution, he will definitely be killed!" Su Fei is now anxious. Gan Ning's lukewarm attitude did not pay attention to the tone of Gan Ning's question. He glanced left and right and said in a low voice: "Since the matter has come to this, Xingba, you must not be impulsive. I knew it before when I came here. First, he was a well-known elite soldier who entered the camp first. Now, as the personal guard of Qin Xu, the governor of Xuzhou, he came to Jiangdong with him. He must be relied on as his confidant. It is this kind of inexplicable killing of them, so it is impossible to offend Qin Xu to death. You may not know that Qin Xu can go from a house slave to a court guard, a general who conquers the East, and a feudal official in just three to five years. Marquis Wu Ting leads the governor of Xuzhou, and he must not underestimate his ability, not to mention that he has the most powerful general in the world, Lu Wenhou, as his backing. It would be unwise to get into such big troubles for no reason! The best way That is, to pack up your luggage immediately, and before General Huang knows the details of Xingba you, quickly dismiss these more than a hundred people, and then go upstream, and go to Shu to take refuge for a while, it is the best policy."

"Brother Su, is this trying to persuade my younger brother to flee before fighting?" Su Fei's words were so clear that Gan Ning couldn't understand.From a certain point of view, Su Fei's visit this time has already offended his boss Huang Zu who had other thoughts, but Su Fei still came without hesitation, and Gan Ning's eyes flashed a touch , asked pretendingly.

"Xingba! You are such a smart person, why did you recognize death all of a sudden?" Seeing Gan Ning talking about him, Su Fei's tone became more and more anxious, and said, "Let me tell you the truth. This time, a certain person did not come here by himself. There are still two thousand elite soldiers and more than ten warships waiting in the upper reaches of the river thirty miles away. I don't see any reply from Brother Wei, so I have to come to meet Xingba in person. General Huang's purpose is only on the hundreds of soldiers who entered the camp first, to you, Xingba..."

"Brother Su's meaning, Gan understands!" Gan Ning stopped Su Fei from continuing, with a cold light in his eyes, and asked: "That is to say, what kind of person Gan is, Huang Zu that fellow? In fact, I don’t care! If someone knows the current affairs, he can still get a military position as a lieutenant in Hengjiang, and he will be forced to work for him in his army. If Gan doesn’t cooperate at all, it can be said that he is a navy that intends to use troops against Qin Shijun , we are going to take Gan’s head as a sacrifice to the flag, right?”

"Xingba don't worry! Even if you risk your life for your brother, you will never let Xingba be in any danger because of your brother!" Su Fei came back to notice something wrong with Gan Ning's words. But he thought it was because of his worries about Huang Zu's arrival of 2000 people.With a wry smile, he said to Gan Ning.

"Ha! I didn't expect that Gan, a water thief who begged everywhere but couldn't be born, would one day become a favorite." Gan Ning suddenly laughed a few times, and Su Fei, who was anxious to see, was also confused. I only heard Gan Ning say: "Two thousand elite sailors, more than ten warships, Huang Zu really admires Gan! With such a capital, it seems that he has made up his mind to serve the Jingxiang family. Revenge is coming! Gan Ning's death is not a pity, but it's a pity that Brother Su and you will lose your life because of Gan."

"Huh?!" Su Fei was worried that Gan Ning would do something stupid and didn't know it, so he took the risk to tell the matter, but unexpectedly, Gan Ning broke Huang Zu's sinister intentions, and made Su Fei ponder. After the smell, my heart shivered, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

yes!If you intend to solicit, why did you send two thousand elite sailors and more than ten warships together?Maybe it was because Huang Zu also knew the power of the dense reefs around the small island in the river, so the reason why he allowed himself to come was to find out the way to the island?
Su Fei didn't want to continue thinking about it, no matter how he said it, Huang Zu was very kind to his little fellow before.Moreover, Su Fei didn't have the slightest doubt about the action of leading troops here, he only said that Huang Zu was cautious.Even after Gan Ning revealed Huang Zu's true intentions, Su Fei still felt lucky. He hoped that Huang Zu would not do such tricks, and also hoped that his friend Gan Ning could escape the disaster. When I turned around, I saw the familiar ship's mast on the upper reaches of the river, gradually piercing the river, and Su Fei's thoughts sank to the bottom of the valley.It was a full hour earlier than the scheduled time, and there was no need to explain the matter...
