Chapter 94
Rong Defu said: "On the way to Wuchang north, go and chase!" After that, he ran back and disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye. Guo Rong thought for a while, took his horse out of the city and headed north.
Guo Rong rushed along the Yangtze River overnight. The next day, he had already left the boundary of Yuezhou and entered Xianning County, Wuchang Prefecture. At this point, the waterway was crisscrossing and the mountain road was difficult to walk. Guo Rong deliberately changed to the waterway. But he was worried that the waterway was slow, so what if he missed the senior sister? While thinking by the river, he saw a fishing boat slowly approaching, and a man stood on the bow of the boat, with a tall figure and constantly harvesting the fishing net.
Guo Rong saw that the man came to the Internet and only a few small fish were put into the wooden barrel on the boat. With his sigh, Guo Rong also sighed. The man suddenly heard a sound on the shore behind him. He looked back and asked, "Why did the young master sigh?" Guo Rong asked, "Why did the hero sigh?" The man laughed loudly and said, "Is it because he was sighing below?" Guo Rong said, "What the hero said is not! I sighed for myself!" The man asked, "Dare you dare to ask what the young master is doing?" Guo Rong said, "I want to rush to Wuchang. The dry road is difficult to walk, and the water road is slow, I don't know
What should I do?" The man said, "So that's the case. Although Tan can't fish, the boat is faster than a horse." Guo Rong didn't believe it and said, "How can the boat be faster than a horse?" The man said, "Will the young master try?" Guo Rong said, "Okay, try it. But what if there is no horse fast?" The man said, "If it is faster than a horse, the young master will give you a hundred taels of silver. If there is no horse fast, then give you a hundred taels of silver. How about?" Guo Rong agreed readily, so he took the bag of the piano to abandon the horse on the boat. The man stopped fishing, threw the fishing net aside, picked up the oars, and rowed towards the middle of the river.
The man said, "I'm here next to Tan Minghui, please ask my son Gao's name?" Guo Rong said, "This young master Guo Rong. It turns out that he is Brother Tan, so I'm lucky to meet him." Tan Hui asked, "What are Brother Guo doing in such a hurry to Wuchang?" Guo Rong said, "My senior sister went to Wuchang alone, and the future is dangerous, so she has to stop her before her arrival." Tan Hui said, "Save people is like putting out a fire. Tan will do his best to escort Brother Guo to Wuchang."
When the boat reached the middle of the river, Tan Hui stood at the stern, whistling the rudder and stepping on the wooden wheel. Guo Rong looked carefully and found that the wooden wheel under his feet turned and drove to the water wheels on both sides of the ship through the shaft of the wooden wheel. The water wheels flew along, and the boat moved forward like a flying boat. Guo Rong said in surprise: "Brother Tan, your boat is really faster than a horse!" Tan Hui smiled and said: "It is difficult to travel thousands of miles a day, but Tan's boat is not tired when traveling thousands of miles a day! Hahaha!" Guo Rong stood at the bow of the boat, and the river breeze blew, which was extremely comfortable.
Tan Hui kept rotating his feet and stepped on the wooden wheels, and the boat was moving fast. Guo Rong said, "Brother Tan, are you familiar with Wuchang City?" Tan Hui said, "Tan was fishing in Jingzhou to Wuchang River. There is nothing unfamiliar with this area. Brother Guo wanted to know what, just ask." Guo Rong said, "It is said that the King of Chu was full of wings and misbehaving in Wuchang City. Is there anything wrong with it?" In fact, he just said casually and speculated from the King of Chu who sent people to seize treasures.
Tan Hui said, "Do you know what Tan did before?" Guo Rong shook his head and asked. Tan Hui said, "Tan used to make a living by rowing across the river, and specializing in carrying passengers across Wuchang Wharf to Hankou Wharf. At that time, Tan's boat was the fastest, and merchants rushed to grab seats, and they didn't know how glorious it was. Hahaha!" Guo Rong saw that he was very arrogant, with his burly figure and mighty appearance, which was somewhat similar to Yun Zhengting's heroic spirit, and he couldn't help but feel close to him.
Guo Rong asked, "But why don't you row a boat and cross the river and change to fish?" Tan Hui sighed, "Hey, the world is dangerous, and the people have no way to survive! The Chu Palace issued a document claiming that the national treasury is empty, so he collected the ferry and returned to the palace. Only the official ships can carry passengers across the river. If we smuggle privately, we will be severely punished. Isn't Tan's boat fast? But how can we escape dozens of dozens of official ships? Since Tan was beaten by a stick and fined 100 taels of silver, no one dared to smuggle." Guo Rong said, "So, Brother Tan changed to fishing. But the fishing skills are average, so he still makes money in the long-term ferry business." After hearing this, Tan Hui laughed and said, "Your 100 taels of silver is indeed easy to make! Hahaha!"
Going down the river, the two talked and laughed. Guo Rong also told Tan Hui that there was a hero like him on the shore of Dongting Lake, which was naturally Yun Zhengting. Tan Hui heard that Yun Zhengting had the first-class fishing skills and was also the second son-in-law of Zengjiazhuang, who was famous far and wide, and couldn't help but envy him. Guo Rong said, "Brother Tan, we should fall in love with him at first sight, what if we should become sworn brothers?" Tan Hui knew that he had become sworn brothers with Yun Zhengting, so he agreed and asked the three to worship together. So the two became sworn brothers at the bow of the boat. Tan Hui was four years older than Guo Rong, but two years younger than Yun Zhengting, so Yun Zhengting was the eldest brother. Tan Hui ranked second brother, and Guo Rong was the third brother. After the sworn brothers, they laughed to the sky.
Tan Hui asked what was in Guo Rong's bag, so Guo Rong said it was a guzheng, and now he carried it to find his master. Tan Hui sighed: "Love is something, and it is a thing that teaches people to agree with each other in life, let alone carry the zither to the end of the world! It is enough to have one or two confidants in life! Hahaha!" Guo Rong seemed to be full of desolation in his laughter, and couldn't help asking: "Has the second brother had not met your confidant yet?" Tan Hui said awkwardly: "The second brother met the confidant in his heart, but others might not have met." Guo Rong did not understand the meaning of it, so he asked after asking. President Tan sighed and said slowly.
Tan Hui was as strong as a cow since he was a child. His family was on the Yangtze River. His father made a living by ferrying. Tan Hui grew up gradually. The father and son were on the same boat. He was fast and steady, and he was enthusiastic about others. He was full of loads of traveling back and forth. The family lived a very comfortable life and even had a marriage for Tan Hui. He was Xiao Cui from the same village. He was beautiful and diligent, and the two were in love with each other, enviing the young men and women in the village.
But just as Tan Hui and Xiao Cui were about to discuss marriage, Tan Hui's father was buried in the Yangtze River due to the overturn of the ship in a storm. The whole family was very sad, and their marriage had to be postponed. The so-called "unparalleled blessings, but misfortunes never come alone." Not long after, Tan Hui's mother was bedridden and invited famous doctors in Wuchang City, but she didn't know what the disease was. Finally, Tan Hui was left alone to guard the family's family, which was now penniless because of selling the family's wealth, while his mother smiled in the spring. But just as Tan Hui was not cured of his grief, the King of Chu issued another ban: No ships are allowed to ferry, and the officials are in charge of all the ferry business of various marinas. The house was raining all night, and Xiao Cui saw that Tan Hui's family was in a slump and married to the rich man's house in another village. Tan Hui just smiled faintly at all: It's fate!
After hearing this, Guo Rong sighed, "Second brother, I didn't expect you to have experienced so many things. But don't be discouraged. Good people will be rewarded, and life will definitely get better." Tan Hui smiled and said, "There is no way out, and there will be no more sad days than before. Hahaha!" After saying that, he hummed the song and drove the fishing boat to flow down quickly.
The Yangtze River turned a big bend along the mountain. The water flowed rapidly and the boat went straight down. Suddenly, a fast boat jumped out from left and right, surrounding Guo Rong and Tan Hui's ships. Tan Hui said in surprise: "Shui bandits!" Guo Rong asked in surprise: "What are water bandits?" Tan Hui said in surprise: "Robbers in the Yangtze River! It seems to be from the Guanhu Gang!" Guo Rong looked up and saw that the four ships were covered with black and white triangle flags, and there were three or four people standing on the bow of the ship, shining and reflecting brightly, obviously holding weapons. Tan Hui shouted: "Third brother, stand firm!" As he said, he held the helm with both hands, and stepped like the wind, and the boat was moving faster. In a blink of an eye, he had already avoided the two ships rushing towards him and rushed forward.
Suddenly, a voice came from the boat on the right: "Stop the boat!" He shouted three times in a row, but Tan Hui didn't care and continued to aim at the boat in front of him. The four fasteners were about to hit the fishing boat in which Guo Rong was riding. The boat in front was about to hit, and it seemed to have stopped. The person on the bow of the boat shouted: "Boy, look for death!" Just as the boat was about to hit, Guo Rong shouted loudly and jumped high towards the bow of the other party. Almost at the same time, Tan Hui shook the rudder, and the boat he was driving floated past the boat like a wisp of smoke. As soon as Guo Rong's feet landed on the bow of the boat, he immediately used the "Six Broken God Palms" he had just learned. The palm wind whirred, and the people on the bow of the boat were mediocre martial arts. In an instant, they were shot down from the water and shouted "Help". Guo Rong did not kill, otherwise there would be a chance to shout for help?
Guo Rong followed the trend and rushed from the bow of the boat. A total of seven or eight people on the boat were shot into the water by him. Tan Hui saw it and kept applauding and shouting happily: "Good brother, good kung fu! Come back quickly!" Guo Rong saw that the two ships were more than meter wide, and the two-legged rush was at the stern of the boat, and they flew on Tan Hui's boat like an arrow. Tan Hui screamed loudly, flying down the current, and the other three ships were thrown far behind him. But the scream came: "The Guanhu Gang won't let you go!" Tan Hui smiled and said, "I knew it was the Guanhu Gang!" Guo Rong asked, "What gang is the Guanhu Gang?" Tan Hui said, "There are many gangs on both sides of the Yangtze River, but they are all ordinary fishing.
Gangs, how can you have such a strong martial arts skills like you?" Guo Rong asked, "How long will it take to go to Wuchang?" Tan Hui said, "This bend is not far away. You can go to Wuchang before dark." Guo Rong said, "Second brother, what should you do if you meet the Guanhu Gang alone in the future?" Tan Hui said, "Meet when you meet, your second brother is not afraid of heaven or earth, but also afraid of the Guanhu Gang?" Guo Rong did not think so. Will Tan be able to do martial arts skills? If you often fish in the Yangtze River in the future, you will inevitably meet the Guanhu Gang. Whether it is the Jianghu Gang or the gangs on both sides of the Yangtze River, you will definitely not let anyone bully him go. Thinking of this, Guo Rong couldn't help but regret his rash action.
Not long after evading the boat, I saw a large ship lying across the river in the slow water in front of me. The boat was very long, occupying almost half of the width of the Yangtze River. Tan Hui felt something was wrong, and slowed down, and the boat slowly approached. Tan Hui said softly: "Three Lakes Gang!" While the two were thinking, an old man walked out of the big boat, with a thin figure and a loud voice: "Who is coming? Stop the boat!" Tan Hui said: "Hero, here is just a fisherman, please let it go." The man said: "Hmph, Guanhu Gang Fei Ge sent a letter, asking the gangs along the river to stop all passing ships
, they must wait until they send someone to check before they can let go." As he said that, two more people stood out from the bow of the boat and directed the boat to lean on the right side of the big boat. Guo Rong stood up and said loudly: "Hero, we are going to Wuchang in a hurry, and I hope to raise our hands and let us go." The man shouted: "Don't think of anyone. Although the gangs along the river are not big martial arts sects, they are not easy to mess with. Whoever dares to provoke any gang, the rest of the gangs will fight back. In my opinion, maybe they are the two Guanhu gangs that offended. In any case, they have to offend."
Guo Rong was furious and shouted loudly. His body floated onto the big boat like an arrow, asking, "Is it not to let me?" The man was shocked when he saw Guo Rong's light skills so well, but he was not afraid of the crowds on his boat, and said, "Dare to act wildly on the Yangtze River and take it down!" Then, more than ten big men with swords and guns came out from behind him, shouted in unison, and rushed towards Guo Rong. Guo Rong laughed secretly, and his figure swayed, and everyone felt that there was a flash in front of him and no one was seen. Guo Rong shuttled through the crowd, but this time he did not drive the crowd.
Han shot down the river with his palms, but only hit their acupoints. In an instant, more than ten people holding swords and guns stood on the boat, motionless. The old man was shocked to see this. Guo Rong flashed his figure and stood in front of him and asked, "Can you let go?" While the old man was stammering and trying to speak, he heard a voice behind him, "Good boy, good light skills. Haha!" When Guo Rong looked at it, he saw a person who turned from behind, in his thirties, thin and thin, holding a sledgehammer, as if it was heavier than his entire person.
Seeing that his outfit seemed to be a person in the government, Guo Rong asked, "Who are you?" The hammer holder said, "Boom the sky hammer Jiang Shun!" Guo Rong didn't know his name, but just clasped his fists and said, "Looking for a long time!" At this time, a voice beside him said, "It turns out that he is the hero of the Chu Prince's Mansion, I'm not respectful and respectful!" Guo Rong turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Tan Hui. He knew that if he forced himself to break through, he would offend the gangs along the river, and he would not be able to make a living in the Yangtze River area in the future. Therefore, he had to lean on the boat next to the big boat and hurried over to check Guo Rong's situation.
At this time, a man walked out from behind Jiang Shun, who was in his forties, with a mustache and a pair of eyes smiling. The old man hurriedly stepped beside this man and said, "Gang Master, this kid's martial arts are really good!" It turned out that he was Zhou Dunhou, the leader of the Sanhu Gang, and the old man was Hu Zhou, the leader of the Sanhu Gang. After everyone communicated their names, Jiang Shun said coldly: "The nameless fisherman dares to act wildly on the Yangtze River!" As he said that, he raised a hammer and hit Guo Rong. Guo Rong dodged and avoided, and Jiang Shun shot three hammers in a row, all of which were easily avoided by Guo Rong. Jiang Shun was furious.
, swung the hammer across to Guo Rong and Tan Hui. Guo Rong could avoid it easily, but Tan Hui could not. Guo Rong of course understood this truth and thought to give him a little color. He did not avoid it at the moment, and poured his internal strength into his right palm to meet it. With a muffled sound, the hammer was grabbed by Guo Rong's palm and stopped in the air. Jiang Shun was shocked. He had always been proud of his invincible power. Now the other party easily grabbed the hammer in his hand. In a hurry, he hurriedly pulled it back, but the hammer was still motionless. He pushed forward and still did not move.
Jiang Shun was shocked and shouted loudly. He pulled his hands, but he still couldn't pull them. Zhou Dunhou could see clearly from the side that Guo Rong did not grasp the sledgehammer, because the hammer was too big and he couldn't grasp the palm of his hand at all. Guo Rong used his internal force to suck the sledgehammer. Seeing this, Zhou Dunhou was very clear in his heart and said, "Mr. Jiang, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as you are with them. You kid, Lord Jiang doesn't care about it, so why don't you let go!" Guo Rong didn't want to be too embarrassed for the other party.
, At that moment, he retracted his internal force. Jiang Shun was still trying hard to pull back the hammer, and suddenly he removed the suction force. He was about to fall out with a scream of "ah". But Zhou Dunhou just held his waist and stood firm with just one step. Before he understood, he heard Zhou Dunhou say, "Your boat is gone quickly, don't block other boats." After hearing this, Tan Hui immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Jiang, thank you, Gang Master Zhou!" As he said that, he pulled Guo Rong back to the boat and drove the boat down.
Seeing that the big ship behind the ship gradually shrinking into a little, Guo Rong asked, "Second brother, what kind of person is that Jiang Shun who is the Sky Hammer?" Tan Hui said, "We can't afford to offend him. He is from the King of Chu. It is said that he is a relative of the King of Chu. He is under the No. 1 hero of Huguang. "Guang Guo Rong asked, "The No. 1 hero of Huguang Yan Rufeng! Who is it?" Tan Hui said, "You are still a martial arts person, and you don't even know the name of the No. 1 hero of Huguang. Yan Rufeng is a general under the command of King of Chu. He has invincible martial arts and unparalleled wisdom in the world, and has deep trust from the King of Chu." Guo Rong said, "You are still a martial arts person. You don't even know the name of the No. 1 hero of Huguang. Yan Rufeng is a general under the command of King of Chu. He has invincible martial arts and his wisdom is unparalleled in the world. He has deep trust from the King of Chu." Guo Rong said, "You are still a martial arts person. You don't even know the name of the No. 1 hero of Huguang. Yan Rufeng is a general under the command of King of Chu. He has invincible martial arts and his wisdom is unparalleled in the world. He has deep trust from the King of Chu."
Wondering: "Why have you never heard of his name for such a famous task?" Tan Hui said: "After all, he is in the royal palace, so he can't be as competitive as you people in the martial arts world, and value fame and fortune." Guo Rong thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, but he was worried about his senior sister. If he didn't stop him and really broke into the Chu royal palace, it would be difficult to escape. However, when he thought that Jiang Shun's martial arts were just like this, he felt that Tan Hui should have exaggerated Yan Rufeng too much, and maybe he was as vulnerable as Jiang Shun? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Sure enough, when it was dark, the boat was docked on the shore under a forest. Guo Rong was puzzled and asked in surprise: "Second brother, why don't you dock at the pier?" Tan Hui said: "Third brother, the area around the pier is full of people from the Chu Palace. If you see us docking there, you will immediately arrest us for questioning the palace. So you can only dock here. It doesn't matter, I know the way, so I will take you to the palace." As they said that, the two of them got off the boat. Tan Hui tied the boat to the tree and took Guo Rong down the river. After walking a section of the road, he turned north and left the shore.
