Wang Lei and Lu Bu and his group left Xiangyang City, headed straight for the Han River flowing through Xiangyang, and headed south by boat.

The journey was smooth and I soon entered the main road of the Yangtze River.

Take a boat eastward, and then it’s waterway.

As the rising sun is rising, a red sun gushes out from the sky in the east, and red clouds are everywhere. The golden light sprinkles on the water surface, reflecting a clear golden color and magnificent color.

On the turbulent river surface, a large ship, Yang Fan, sailed forward, sailed to the wind and flowed eastward along the water.

"Thirty-nine! Forty!..."

On the deck, a tender and firm voice came from the sound.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy, naked and bare, revealing his thin body. He supported his hands on the ground and did push-ups on the deck facing the morning sun. The boy was no one else, Cai Chi, a disciple whom Wang Lei had just accepted. After Wang Lei took Cai Chi away from Xiangyang, Wang Lei almost didn't care about the matters in school, but Wang Lei kept adjusting to Cai Chi's weak body.

Wang Lei did not let Cai Chi practice martial arts directly. With Cai Chi's weak body, it was impossible to practice martial arts directly. It took time to recuperate before he could start practicing martial arts. Wang Lei used push-ups, sit-ups, squatting, etc. to train Cai Chi. With Cai Chi's current physical condition, he could only perform such basic exercises and gradually deepen.

After finishing the push-ups, Cai Chi continued to squat in the morning.

After Wang Lei and Lu Bu finished their morning exercises, they sat on the deck, blew the river breeze, and talked.

Lu Bu stared at Cai Chi with an admiration expression and said with a smile: "My brother, at the beginning, I didn't agree with your training method. I thought it was too strange and thought it was not very useful. After observing this period, your martial arts skills for physical exercise are effective. Cai Chi is getting stronger and stronger. However, this martial arts can only lay the foundation and will not be of great use in the future."

Cai Chigang followed Wang Lei, his steps were floating, his cheeks were pale, and he looked weak.

In just a short time, it has changed a lot.

After training and recuperation, my qi and blood were filled and my steps became much more steady.

Lu Bu admired this change too.

Wang Lei smiled and said, "Brother is too good. This is why Cai Chi has the perseverance and can persevere. If it were the other children, I'm afraid they would have given up on their own."

Lu Bu laughed, picked up the brewed tea, and drank it.

"Teacher, there is a big ship ahead."

Suddenly, Cai Chi, who was squatting in the morning stance, shouted.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei stood up and looked ahead.

The water vapor on the river was hazy and vague, and the situation was not clear, but you could clearly see a large ship coming. Around the big ship, there were five piers following. In this era, there were no artillery, missiles, and so-called poles and other weapons. Some were directly and simply impacted.

The trolley ship is small and fast, and its purpose is to hit enemy warships.

The big ship came with five small boats, and Wang Lei's heart skipped a beat.

"Brother, we may have encountered a water thief."

Wang Lei narrowed his eyes and stared at the big ship ahead with a serious look.

Due to the evaporation of water on the river surface and the vision is blurred, I can't see clearly what the situation on the other party's ship is. But a large ship and five ships suddenly appeared, and the situation is definitely not simple.

"alert!"

Lu Bu's eyes flashed with light, he stood up and shouted with high fighting spirit.

"Come to take my general's Fang Tian Hua Ji!"

As Lu Bu shouted softly, the soldiers quickly brought Fang Tian Hua Ji to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu stood at the bow of the boat, holding Fang Tian Hua Ji, pointed at the front from a distance, and shouted: "Don't worry, brother, although we are not used to water battles, the river surface is calm and there is no waves. When the other party rushes, we will kill him. Even if there are people on the other party, there is no need to be afraid."

Wang Lei is not so optimistic. It is on the river, not on the land.

On land, Lu Bu rode a fiery red rabbit horse and could be invincible on the battlefield. If a small thief was on the river, it would be enough to solve the arrogant Lu Bu.

The sun shines, the mist dissipates, and the distance between the two sides gradually becomes closer.

The situation on the big ship became clearer.

On the big boat that was coming towards him, a burly and strong young man stood on the bow. He stood in the wind, and the cloak behind him was flying in the wind, whistling. He carried a bow and arrow, with bird feathers, and bells in his body. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, fluffy and casual, and extremely tough. Behind the young man, there were people in gorgeous clothes, with different expressions.

Seeing the person clearly, Wang Lei frowned.

Wang Lei is not unfamiliar with this outfit. Anyone who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms knows that this is the dress of Gan Ning, a thief of Jinfan. According to historical records, a native of Linjiang, Ba County, Gan Ning, served as the governor of Shu County at the age of 18. He was young and successful. Unfortunately, Gan Ning was arrogant and angered Shangguan and was finally dismissed. After Gan Ning did not become an official, he brought a group of rangers to the river and robbed everywhere.

Because when Gan Ning robbed everywhere, Jinxiu often used the boat to maintain the boat, and when leaving, it was cut off and abandoned, and was called Jinfan thief. The person who came was Jinfan thief, Wang Lei felt nervous.

At this time, the visitor is not kind!

Especially when Gan Ning is mingling on the river, it can be called a white strip in the lang, and it is definitely not an easy person.

You have to deal with it carefully!

Wang Lei took a deep breath, and soon made a decision, and said calmly: "Brother, the other party is a thief on the river and it is not easy to deal with. After the other party's ship is approaching, don't rush to cause conflict. We take the initiative to show weakness and let them board our ship. As long as the situation is wrong on our ship, the brother can quickly capture the other party's leader and control the rest."

Lu Bu frowned with sword eyebrows and said disdainfully: "My brother, you are just a group of thieves, you are not afraid of it. You are developing the ambitions of others and destroying your own prestige."

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "If you don't say anything else, brother falls into the water, can you fight again?"

"cannot!"

Lu Bu shook his head and finally agreed to Wang Lei's plan.

Water battles do not gain the upper hand, they can only take the initiative to show weakness and attract the other party's merchant ships.

As the distance was closer, Gan Ning's big ship and the ferry quickly approached. However, the ferry did not hit, but stopped on both sides of the big ship where Wang Lei was, while Gan Ning's big ship approached.

"Clang!!"

After the ship approached, it made a muffled sound.

Gan Ning's eyes were excited, his eyes fell on Wang Lei and Lu Bu, and he clasped his fists and asked loudly: "Dare you ask, who is Wang Lei, the Muslim in Jizhou?"

Wang Lei clasped his fists and said, "Where is Wang Lei below, Gan Ning and Gan Xingba ahead?"

Wang Lei was happy when Gan Ning did not launch an attack directly. At the same time, Gan Ning actually knew his name. This time, Wang Lei felt even more relieved. It seemed that the situation was not bad.

"Hahaha, it's better to meet than to hear it. Finally, I met the Lord of Wangzhou."

With wooden boards placed between the two ships, Gan Ning walked over quickly. When he arrived at Wang Lei's boat, Gan Ning saluted with his fists, with a strong smile on his face and asked, "Wangzhou Mu lived in Jizhou for a long time, do you know Gan Ning?"

There was a hint of joy in his tone.

Wang Lei was not only the governor of Jizhou appointed by the court, but also a famous poet and calligrapher in the world. Such a person actually knew a thief, and Gan Ning's inner joy was imaginable.
