Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 592 Salt Owl
The night is quiet, the moonlight is like water.

Sparkling on the river.

Wang Mang sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, closed his eyes, and entered into meditation.

After a day's hard work, he has been able to mobilize a trace of true energy at this time. With the help of this trace of true energy, it will not take long for him to be able to protect himself a little.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know how Li Yuanfang's injury was, but judging by his current appearance, he knew that there was nothing he could do to help.

At the stern of the boat, Li Yuanfang sat cross-legged on the deck.

At this moment, dancing flames kept flashing in his mind, and there seemed to be bursts of piercing burning sounds in his ears.

His brows were furrowed, his body trembling unceasingly.

The fire in my head was still burning brightly.

Suddenly, in the flames, a face appeared faintly.

The face gradually became clear. It was a kind and friendly face, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and five long beards. It was Di Renjie.

Li Yuanfang opened his eyes suddenly, and all the pictures and sounds in front of him disappeared in an instant.

Li Yuanfang stared blankly at the river, and said softly, "Who is he... who is he... and who am I?"

He sat quietly with a cold expression on his face.

Wang Mang was meditating, and his perception had recovered a little at this time.

Suddenly, a slight "click" came from the reeds on the shore.

This sound, which ordinary people can't catch at all, is very harsh to Wang Mang's ears.

He suddenly raised his head and looked into the reeds.

The reed kept shaking, making a rattling sound.

Wang Mang raised his head and looked towards the treetops.

The treetops were motionless.

There is no wind.

Although the internal strength had not yet recovered at this time, Wang Mang's innate vigilance still made Wang Mang tense all over, and he stood up slowly.

Suddenly, there was a loud "huo la" under the boat, and a figure leaped out of the water, causing a splash of water.

Wang Mang raised his head.

It was too late to say it, but it was soon, the cold light flickered, and a short knife stabbed straight at Wang Mang's chest.

Although he couldn't use his true energy at this time, the unique skills he had rolled out of the shadows of swords and swords for many years naturally played a role at this time.

On one side of Wang Mang's body, a dagger was drawn across his face, and the attacker stood on the deck.

This man was short in stature, with a fierce face, and his body was ragged and knotted.

Wang Mang looked at him, expressionless, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The ragged man ignored him, gritted his teeth and stepped forward, stabbing Wang Mang's throat with a steel knife.

Wang Mang turned around and dodged again, and asked coldly, "Why did you kill me?"

The ragged man didn't answer, and stabbed at Wang Mang's chest with a knife. Wang Mang was still expressionless, and his body quickly turned around the man. After only two turns, the ragged man was already dizzy and staggered. Dazzled, the knife in his hand stabs out indiscriminately.

Suddenly, Wang Mang's figure was fixed like a nail, but the ragged man was still driven by inertia to keep turning, the knife in his hand was dangling, and his footsteps were swaying, as if he was drunk.

Wang Mang looked at him blankly, standing motionless on the deck.

The ragged man staggered and stopped turning. He raised his head, pointed at Wang Mang with a knife, and said, "Boy, you, you..."

With a bang, the cabin door opened, and a figure flew over, blocking Wang Mang like lightning.

She snatched the dagger from the ragged man's hand and kicked him in the chest.

The Ragged Man screamed and fell into the river.

It was Xiaoqing who came.

She looked at Wang Mang with concern and said, "Are you okay?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "I'm fine!"

With the sound of footsteps, the bodyguards in the cabin rushed to the bow with steel knives in their hands, and the leader shouted sharply: "Where are the friends who are doing business here?"

With a whoosh, the flames shook in the reeds beside the bank, and dozens of ragged men stood up holding torches and surrounded the clipper.

These people held all kinds of weapons in their hands, including knives, guns, and even hoes and rakes.

When Xiaoqing saw the situation around her, she was so surprised that she didn't know what to do.

At this time, Li Yuanfang who heard the movement also came over: "Who are they?"

Wang Mang's expression was still dull and cold and he asked, "What do they do?"

Xiaoqing shook her head slowly and said, "I don't know either. Go into the cabin, don't come out."

Wang Mang glanced at Xiao Qing and said, "I'm still here."

Li Yuanfang didn't speak, just stood there without moving.

Xiaoqing glanced at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid?"

Wang Mang looked at the group of big men: "Maybe you can use me."

Li Yuanfang replied blankly: "I'm not afraid!"

Xiaoqing glanced at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang gratefully, and said softly, "You stand behind me."

Wang Mang thought for a while, but walked behind Xiaoqing without saying a word.

Li Yuanfang still stood behind without moving.

At this time, the headed bodyguard shouted loudly: "Where is the friend on the shore, tell me tens of thousands!"

A middle-aged man in the reed strode out, with his hands on his hips and said in a loud voice: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over the girl on the boat, and we promise not to hurt others. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

The head bodyguard sneered and said, "Brother, do you know who this boat belongs to?"

The middle-aged man sneered and did not speak.

The bodyguard said: "This is the boat of Crouching Tiger Villa Ge Tianba Ge's owner! If you are sensible, leave quickly, otherwise, you will be too hungry to go around!"

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "It's not the boat of Crouching Tiger Village, I'm still robbing it! To tell you the truth, we have been following you for half a month. The girl on the boat is Ge Tianba's daughter!"

The bodyguard was taken aback, and looked at Xiao Qing.

Xiaoqing took a deep breath, walked to the bow of the boat and said, "Yes, my father is Ge Tianba."

The middle-aged man said loudly: "Okay, please get off the boat and follow us!"

Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Even if I go with you, I also want to know who you are?"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Okay. Then I'll tell you, we are salt owls near Xuyi.

A few days ago, we worked so hard to save a sum of money and went to Hailing to buy a batch of private salt. We wanted to bring it back to Xuyi to sell, but we didn't expect that when we arrived at Crouching Tiger Town, we were robbed by Ge Tianba's people, and they were beaten to death and injured. We have more than 20 brothers. "

Xiao Qing sighed softly and lowered his head.

The middle-aged man said angrily: "Your father is also a salt smuggler, so let's say he is powerful, but you can't just allow him to eat meat, let us poor people not drink soup!
In the past few years, Ge Tianba has controlled all the salt markets in these four townships and five towns, and we are not allowed to sell salt. Whenever he sees us, he will kill or beat us.

It has been two years, how many brothers have been killed or injured by him!
To be honest, if your father hadn't done everything right, we wouldn't have done such wicked things!
That's enough, let's stop here, today we are waiting here specially to snatch you away and let Ge Tianba know that Yan Xiao is not easy to mess with.

If he wants you to live, he has to give us justice! "
