Chapter 8 Lost Dart Silver

Gao Xiang captured Sun Pei in full view of everyone. He was so happy that he got carried away for a moment. He forgot about the rules of the world of "keeping a line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future." He laughed and said: "Mantis Boxing is nothing more than that!"

Sun Pei was so ashamed and angry that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

The leader of Desheng Martial Arts School, Sun Xingbo, was not in the hall. All the disciples didn't know what to do and froze in place.

At this time, Gu Yanqing shouted from outside the crowd: "Brother Gao Xian, brother Gao Xian, stop quickly. It's important to get medicine for your senior brother."

The doctor boarded the boat to diagnose Zhang Shide. Gu Yanqing did not see Gao Xiang come back. When he asked the doctor, he found out that Gao Xiang had been stopped.

After the doctor examined the patient, he prescribed medicine. For the safety of the escort ship, Gu Yanqing did not dare to mobilize any more disciples from the escort agency. He followed the doctor ashore to grab the medicine himself. When he arrived in front of the martial arts hall, behind the crowd, he saw Gao Xiang locking Sun Pei's throat, and felt heartbroken.

He said, this kid is really stupid. My senior brother is dying on the ship, but he still has the mind to compete with others here.

Gu Yanqing squeezed into the crowd, raised his hands to Sun Pei and said, "I'm sorry." After saying that, he pulled Gao Xiang and left.

"Wait a minute -" a middle-aged man stood up and said to Gao Xiang: "Little brother, I see that you are good at boxing and kicking. I don't know who you studied under. Can you give me the honor to compete with Yang?"

The visitor is Yang Jianshan, the head of Mingdao Martial Arts School.

Sun Pei was defeated by an unknown boy from out of town. Although he was defeated by Desheng Martial Arts School, the face of the entire Cangzhou Martial Arts School was hurt. His lips were broken and his teeth were cold. Yang Jianshan naturally refused to let Gao Xiang leave easily.

Gu Yanqing was responsible for the important task of escorting commercial banks, and was worried about Zhang Shide's condition. He dared not let Gao Xiang stay here, so he hurriedly said: "My dear friend, we have important things to do and it is not convenient for us to stay for a long time. You are all martial arts people."

, the mountains and rivers will not change, how about we find an opportunity to discuss things another day."

Yang Jianshan sneered: "Cangzhou is not a place where anyone can come and leave whenever they want!"

Gu Yanqing knew that Gao Xiang was young and energetic, and was afraid that he would not be able to control his temper, so he whispered: "Brother Gao Xian, today is not the time to be willful. Zhang Biao's eyesight is not working anymore. It is important to treat the illness and save people."

Gao Xiang had already won a round, and although he wanted to keep trying, he also knew that it was a taboo to be competitive when escorting. Gu Yanqing was there to deal with it, and he just happened to borrow the donkey from the slope, so he stopped when he saw good things.

Gao Xiang clasped his fists and said, "Senior, please forgive me. I am not causing trouble here and intending to run wild in Cangzhou. It is only because my senior brother is seriously ill and he is eager to save people that I have a misunderstanding with my senior brother from Desheng Martial Arts. I will give you this

I can’t apologize.”

Yang Jianshan saw that Gao Xiang's words were quite sincere, and Gu Yanqing stated that there were critical patients who needed to be rescued first, so it was not easy to use force, and said: "Since little brother said this, Yang will not embarrass you, but there is one thing, little brother wants to

Leave your name and address so that Yang can come and ask for advice another day."

Gao Xiang said: "I don't dare. I'm at the Xiejia Escort Bureau in Taierzhuang, Shandong. Gao Xiang is waiting for you at any time, Senior Yang."

The two grabbed the medicine and rushed to the pier, but the people watching the excitement did not leave. They followed closely behind, shouting and swarming all the way, all wanting to see the escort boat of Xie's Escort Bureau.

The people watching the excitement probably have the same mentality, and they are always unsatisfied. They know that there are many martial arts masters in this city, and they are used to seeing the friendly competitions between martial arts masters, and they feel bored. Suddenly someone breaks in and defeats them in their minds.

The expert suddenly realized that he could see the moon through the clouds, and it turned out that there was indeed a mountain outside the mountain.

Moreover, this Shan is a little-known boy who just throws his sleeves away and does not care about his reputation. This is the style of a martial arts master in people's minds.

Of course we have to chase him, and we have to see how he gets on the bow of the ship, with his clothes fluttering, and rides away in the wind. This attracts more and more people to follow him, and soon it creates a sensation in the whole city of Cangzhou.

Gu Yanqing knew very well that in troubled times, if Gao Xiang made such a big noise, he would not be noticed by evil people. He ignored the situation of the Xie Family Escort Bureau and just managed to transport the 50,000 taels of silver on the ship back to the south smoothly. Therefore, he boarded the ship and

Urgent to weigh anchor.

The junior fellow students on the boat saw the crowds of people on the shore and raised their eyes to see Gao Xiang off. They couldn't help but look at Gao Xiang with admiration and compliments and congratulations could not be heard.

Gao Xiang was naturally beaming with joy. He stood proudly on the bow of the ship, stood under the flag of Xie's escort agency, and waved to the shore. The scene was endless.

In the cabin, the junior brother boiled the medicine and fed it to Zhang Shide. At night, Zhang Shide broke out in a profuse sweat, and his illness became much less severe and he woke up.

Gu Yanqing took a long breath, felt relieved, and said: "Boss Zhang, your illness came at the wrong time."

"Yes, thanks to Boss Gu's pills."

"It's not the pills that are responsible for my rejuvenation. Fortunately, the doctor in Cangzhou brought me back to life."

"Have you passed Cangzhou? Nothing went wrong, right?" Zhang Shide was a little nervous.

Gu Yanqing looked at the dark outside of the cabin and hesitated to speak.

"Mr. Gu, do you have something to say?"

"No, that's all. What would Mr. Zhang want to eat? I want your junior brothers to prepare it."

Zhang Shide grabbed Gu Yanqing and asked, "Did my junior brother Gao cause some trouble?"

"It's not that much of a mess. I just had a fight with someone in Cangzhou. However, I didn't suffer any loss. In fact, it made the name of Xie's Escort Bureau even more famous."

"Did he fight with someone?" Zhang Shide said and started to get up, but he was weak and his limbs were weak, so he couldn't get off the bed.

"Boss Zhang, please don't get angry again. The doctor said that your illness is caused by dry fire and you need to rest."

Where could Zhang Shide rest for a while? He was about to enter Shandong. The border between the two provinces had always been plagued by banditry, and now there was a righteous fight, so he had to be very alert.

Zhang Shide asked Gu Yanqing to call Gao Xiang in.

Zhang Shide never mentioned his fight with others and said: "Junior brother, where is the ship?"

"Senior brother, have you woken up? Let me just say, you are blessed with good luck and good fortune. It will be fine. But you scared Boss Gu quite a lot." Gao Xiang said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Boss Gu has to worry about it. Thank you, junior brother, for going to the doctor for me personally." Zhang Shide thanked Gu Yanqing, raised his eyes and stared at Gao Xiang and asked again: "I want to ask you where the ship is?"

"Brother, please rest in peace and recover. The ship is very fast. We should be able to arrive in Texas at noon tomorrow."

"This area is not peaceful. It's night again. Junior brother, you must not be careless. There are people guarding the bow and stern of the boat...Also, prepare more cash with you in case you encounter 'Yingzi' (policeman)."

Bastards (bandits) throw more money and talk less..."

Zhang Shide couldn't move, and had to rely on Gao Xiang for everything on the ship, so he didn't dare to act like his senior brother anymore, so he could only ask him in a good voice to calm down and sail the ship through the place of right and wrong.

Gao Xiang patted his chest and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, with me, Gao Xiang, nothing will go wrong!"

Seeing how he gave up on me, Zhang Shide couldn't help but feel excited again. When Gao Xiang went out, Zhang Shide begged Gu Yanqing to cook another batch of medicine.

Gu Yanqing understood his mood and said: "Cangzhou doctor uses strong medicine, how can you take it without taking a meal? Disease comes like a mountain, and disease goes away like a thread. If you are sick, you have to take care of yourself. Please take it.

Temperament, but I became anxious."

Zhang Shide listened to the sound of water across the board of the boat, and his heart fluctuated with the ups and downs of the boat. He felt that this night was particularly long, longer than all the roads he had walked in his life.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Gu Yanqing closed his eyes, and snoring gradually began to sound. Zhang Shide did not dare to sleep, but he couldn't help it. The rocking hull of the boat was like a cradle, rocking him into sleep unconsciously.

Both sides of the canal are covered with crop fields, and large areas of sorghum have grown as tall as a person. When the night wind blows, there is a rustling sound, as if thousands of troops and horses are roaring past.

The lantern on the bow of the boat swayed in the wind, flickering on and off. The boatman was shirtless, revealing his strong tendons, and beads of sweat popped up and rolled down like crystal pearls.

Gao Xiang and his two junior brothers were sitting on the bow of the boat, telling jokes here and there. Their laughter rippled to the shore and was blown back by the wind. There was really no other way to have fun on the lonely escort road, so Gao Xiang suggested

The two junior brothers were wrestling with each other to determine the outcome. The bet was that the loser would get the big top on the bow of the boat.

The junior brother named Huang Yi was defeated. He was two years older than Gao Xiang, but he entered the martial arts school a year later than Gao Xiang. He had been practicing martial arts for nearly ten years, and his basic skills were extremely solid. He also often held the top of a rocking boat.

So don't be afraid.

Huang Yi grasped the side of the boat with both hands, and pushed his head down to slowly support himself. There were not many merchant ships on the canal at night. If there were any, they were several grain transport ships connected end to end, such as Xie's Escort Bureau.

Solo boats generally do not travel at night.

The canal made a bend in front of it, and Huang Yi's body swayed from side to side twice, almost toppling over. Before the river bend had passed, a fork in the river suddenly appeared in front of him, and Huang Yi saw two small boats rowing out of the fork in the river like arrows.

Huang Yi exclaimed: "Be careful, there is a boat coming in front..."

Before he finished speaking, a small boat bumped against the bow of the escort boat. The hull shook and Huang Yi fell into the water.

Before Gao Xiang could react, another small boat came close to the stern of the escort boat, and then four or five masked men in black jumped onto the sampan.

The man in black came well prepared, but the boatman and the escorts were concentrating on keeping the escort boat around the bend. When the men in black jumped onto the bow, they each saw their targets and kicked out. The boatman and another junior brother were already there.

Falling into the water.

Gao Xiang hurriedly leaned over to grab the knife placed on the ship's board, but the man in black's knife was faster than him, and the bright sharp blade was placed across his neck.

"If you don't move, I will take your life!"

Gao Xiang felt a hint of coldness on his neck, slowly straightened up and said: "Friend..."

"Shh..." The man in black motioned him to be silent.

Gao Xiang was held at knifepoint, and two men in black quickly went down to the cabin and tied up Gu Yanqing and Zhang Shide, who were still sleeping soundly.

The leading man in black whistled, followed by a sound of water, and several more boats sailed out of the river bend, surrounding the escort boat. More than a dozen people came up, and in the blink of an eye, they moved all the escort boxes filled with silver.

Arrived on the boat.

The canal quickly returned to calm. The canal was already calm, but what was not calm was this night.

The lantern on the escort boat was still swaying in the night wind, flickering on and off. The escort flag of Xie's escort agency was blown by the wind, and the sound was carried into the cabin. Zhang Shide looked up to the sky and roared, like a bird trapped by the wind.
