The water was black and white with reeds. To Xie Yutian, who was used to walking at night, he could see everything on the bandit's boat. The bandit's boat was a small fishing boat covered with black awnings, with two black veils standing on each bow and stern.

The strong man inside, such a boat can only carry four people at most, and there will definitely be no more people in Wupengli, which means that the two boats can carry at most eight people.

Xie Yutian looked at the reeds again. This area is the junction of Yi County and Pi County. The river suddenly narrows here. There are reed fields stretching for three or four miles on both sides. After the reed fields, there is the river bank. There are several families on the river bank.

A small village. Going south from the village is Wangmu Mountain.

It seems that the robbers had a lot of thoughts in choosing this place to attack.

"Hey, stop wandering around. We only have these two boats. I also know that you have five bodyguards on your boat, three cargo owners, and two boatmen."

Xie Yutian understood that he was facing a tough situation, and it was obviously impossible to confront him head-on. He could only try his best to deal with it. So he cupped his fists and said: "Since the boss knows Xie, I have something to say. I believe you also know how Xie is. If you spit out a word, you will make a fool of yourself.

We'll try our best to raise money for you, tell you a place, set a date, and I'll send it to you. I don't have anything else to ask for, I just ask you brothers to show your kindness and let us make this escort trip smooth."

"We know that your escort, Mr. Xie, is a man of his word, and we are not quarreling with you. Today's cargo, not to mention your Xie's escort, even if there are other officers and soldiers on the ship, we will still order it."

"Master, there are rules in the world. We don't care about any disputes between you and the owner of the goods. However, being entrusted by others and being loyal to others means the livelihood of dozens of people under Xie..."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll count to three and the box will be disembarked. Otherwise, don't blame our brothers for being rude."

"The boss is going to destroy the Xie Family Escort Agency's sign!"

"One...two..." The robber was not entangled with Xie Yutian.

Following the howl of the bandit leader, four or five long guns were raised on the two bandit boats.

At this time, the entourage of the cargo owner Shen Ke woke up from his sleep and found that the ship had stopped. He climbed into the back cabin and went to the stern of the ship in a daze, and asked the boatman: "Why don't you leave?"

Just at this time, the bandit leader counted "three". Xie Yutian panicked and shouted: "Master, wait a minute..."

There was a "bang" gunshot, and Shen Ke's followers fell headlong into the canal.

Since the Xie Family Escort Agency was founded in the 24th year of Guangxu's reign, in the fourteen years, it has never lost a single escort or injured a person. This time, it injured a cargo owner's life as soon as he left the house. If the news goes out, how can the Escort Agency continue to exist?

A foothold in the world.

Xie Yutian couldn't help his blood boiling, and he was angry. He glanced at Zhao Guangqian from the corner of his eye, kicked his heel fiercely, kicked the wine bottle into the cabin, then let out a long roar, and grabbed the hook with lightning speed.

On the scratching hook on the side of the ship, a kite turned over, put his left foot on the scratching hook pole, and as soon as his hands were released, he had slid along the hook pole to the bandit's boat.

Zhao Guangqian had already understood this. He pedaled on the ship's plank and pounced on another bandit ship like a monkey. The senior brother Zhang Shide and the other two junior brothers in the cabin received the signal to start. They boarded the bow and stern of the ship with daggers in hand to seal the escort ship.

All Xie Yutian's movements were done in one go. While his body landed on the bandit's boat, he swung his legs, kicked the nearby robber into the river, and locked the bandit leader's throat with his right hand.

"Put down the gun!" Xie Yutian roared.

At the same time, on the other robber boat, Zhao Guangqian also moved his legs like lightning, opened his bow left and right, and sent the two robbers into the canal. With his legs in hand, he grabbed the barrel of a gun in the hand of one robber with his left hand, and pulled hard on his arm.

The robber couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground. The gun was in Zhao Guangqian's hand. Without stopping, he held the gun with both hands and pushed back, hitting the robber's head in the middle.

Zhao Guangqian turned his gun and pointed it at the robber at his feet: "Master, is it 'clear'?"

Zhao Guangqian meant to take advantage of the cold water in the night to kill all the gangsters and throw them into the canal to avoid future troubles. Xie Yutian was stunned for a moment and didn't understand how he could have such an idea. This was a taboo for the escort agency.

.

"Don't move in the wind." After saying this, Xie Yutian reached out and pulled off the bandit leader's veil. He looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Who are you?"

The bandit leader was not a softie. He frowned and said, "You guys are in trouble today. You can kill or behead me as you please. No need to ask any questions."

Zhang Shide got off the escort boat, gathered up the robber's gun and threw it into the escort boat. He slapped the bandit leader in the face and cursed: "It turns out you are a bitch!"

"Do you recognize him?" Xie Yutian asked

"I saw him in the Zhejiang People's Guild Hall. He seemed to be a handyman."

The robbers who had fallen into the canal were swimming towards the reeds.

Xie Yutian thought that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he said: "Invite the boss to the escort ship for tea."

"Do you want to take the remaining ones with you?"

Xie Yutian shook his head, took out a few oceans from his body, threw them on the board, and took the bandit leader to the boomerang ship. Zhang Shide thought for a moment, put a knife on the neck of the remaining robber and said: "Boy, tell me,

Who asked you to come and rob the escort?"

The robber was about twenty years old, with a youthful look on his face, but his eyes were stubborn, and he ignored Zhang Shide's questions.

"Is the Zhejiang People's Guild Hall your owner?"

The young man still didn't answer.

Zhang Shide became angry and said in a vicious voice: "You killed one of us, and you deserve a life for your life. Do you think it's you who pays for your life or..." As he said this, his eyes looked fierce, and the knife in his hand began to exert force.

"Don't kill me. I don't dare to say it. If I say it, my whole family will be killed."

"If you don't tell me, you will die first." Zhang Shide picked up the silver coins on the ship's board, stuffed them into his arms and said, "If you have money, you can save the lives of your family."

The young man immediately understood what Zhang Shide meant. He swallowed nervously, looked around and said, "Brother Gui asked us to come."

"Who is Brother Ghost?"

The young man pointed to the escort boat.

"Is the Zhejiang People's Guild Hall your owner?"

"no."

"What a fool, if you ask a question, I'll give you a nice blow!"

The young man gritted his teeth and said: "Today's incident was defeated. From now on, our brothers will run away for their own lives. I might as well recruit them all. We are members of the Iron-Blooded Husband Group and have been lurking in Taierzhuang City for a long time. Our main task is to raise funds for the Alliance.

"

Zhang Shide often ran to the south and had heard about the Tongmenghui. Unexpectedly, a group of fierce husbands came to Taierzhuang City. Just as he was about to ask more questions, Zhao Guangqian, who was on the escort ship, knocked on the side of the ship and said: "Brother, the ship is sailing."

Zhang Shide gestured to start the boat and said to the young man: "Little brother, I think you are an honest boy. You don't have to do anything like licking blood from the edge of a knife. Just wait, I will throw in some more money, and you can share it with other brothers. Find

Let’s find a stable place to make a living.”

Zhang Shide flew onto the boat, asked Xie Yutian for twenty oceans, and threw them into the black-paneled boat. He waved his hand to the young man. The two boats missed each other, and the escort boat rolled up water and shook the black-paneled boat.

The young man knelt on the boat and kowtowed three times to the escort boat.
