Dong Zhongshu recognized Su Fang, the iron-backed ape.
But the other party did not recognize Dong Zhongshu, who looked like a debt collector.
Dong Zhongshu changed his name and went to the Northern Military Region. This was not just a simple change of name, but also involved changes in clothing, hair style, appearance, etc.
Even if you meet with fellow officials, it is difficult to find out Dong Zhongshu's identity without digging deeper.
It is even more difficult to identify those who have only heard of their reputation.
On the bamboo raft, Su Fang, holding a bamboo pen, glanced intently at Dong Zhongshu's face.
He even called out his nickname of "Wandering in the Jianghu". Naturally, this person was not an acquaintance of his, and Su Fang would still do what he was supposed to do.
"Since you know about me, Mr. Su, then stop the ship and hand over the goods." Su Fang frowned and said, "I still have some reputation. If you rob goods, you will rob them. As long as you cooperate, you will not kill anyone!"
"Your sect leader..."
"Don't talk so much nonsense." Su Fang waved his hand and said, "The previous emperors of the Han Dynasty were still ruffians. It's not a shame for us to be robbers!"
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, all the dragons were leaderless, and it was inevitable for hundreds of schools to compete for hegemony, but no one thought that the person who finally picked up the fruit would be a ruffian.
Even though the ruffians established a dynasty, there were many schools of thought that were not convinced by Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Qin was still unable to unite hundreds of schools of thought, and Emperor Gao was even less able to do so.
The dispute between the imperial court and the school has never stopped since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and the current fate of the Beast Control Sect is closely related to the imperial court.
Su Fang looked at Dong Zhongshu and others on the big ship with a look of evil eyes. As soon as he put down the bamboo pen in his hand, he took out two water thorns from his waist.
"Did you bury something under the water?" Dong Zhongshu frowned.
"Just a few water monkeys!"
Su Fang knocked the water-dividing thorn he was holding, and the river water suddenly became turbid. The boat boss and others who were punting the boat couldn't help but scream in surprise.
Apparently, water monkeys are extremely destructive to boat hulls and can even endanger punters.
"Ten guan and a half taels, I will buy Tongxing Ping'an for ten guan and a half taels!"
Dong Zhongshu and Su Fang only exchanged a few words, but Su Fang had already started to take action.
Knowing that Dong Zhongshu was unable to protect everyone on the ship, Zhao Liang immediately shouted.
The price he gave to buy the road was not low. Su Fang's eyes lit up slightly, and then he pointed to the river bank.
"Get on the bamboo raft and we will take you to the shore. Everything on the boat belongs to us!"
Jiangzhong is a good place for hijacking, and it is far easier to create despair than buying a road in a copycat village.
Not to mention ordinary merchant ships, even official ships carrying hundreds of people have to kneel in such an area.
No matter how powerful you are in martial arts, what extraordinary swordsmanship, or magical powers, they all cannot be counted when facing the beast-controlling sect driving water beasts.
Maybe someone can escape, but no one can guarantee the safety of others.
Looking at Zhang Debiao and others holding bows, Su Fang showed no expression.
He spoke quietly and issued an ultimatum, waiting only for a response from the ship.
"you win!"
After a while, Zhao Liang on the big ship gritted his teeth and spoke.
A bamboo raft quickly approached the big ship, and there were shouts for Zhao Liang and others to jump into the raft and land on the shore.
This made Zhao Liang jump down with a look of reluctance.
The bamboo raft sank slightly in the water, just like his heart sinking into the deep water.
He glanced at Dong Zhongshu and saw Dong Zhongshu jumping down without saying a word.
Then came Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Debiao and others.
A group of seven people landed on the bamboo raft, and the disciples of the Beast Control Sect who were supporting the bamboo raft stretched out their bamboo poles and steadily paddled to the river bank.
Their abandonment of the ship also corresponded to the boarding of everyone from the Beast Control Sect.
From time to time, exclamations came from the ship, and everyone had obviously found some good stuff.
Salt and cloth are items used by merchant groups. In order to allow traders to travel further, these goods are not for ordinary people, but are the highest-grade varieties that the Zhao family seeks, and the prices are very high.
There was another carriage carrying a locked iron box with money inside.
Dozens of half a tael of money is undoubtedly a huge amount of money. In order to prevent the difficulty of using half a tael in some areas, a lot of gold and silver is even mixed in.
"What should I do?"
Zhao Liang's eyes were filled with despair.
The people are fine, the money is gone.
It's a long way back to Shujun City, and it's also a long way to the north. No matter where you go, it's difficult to walk.
What's more serious is that Zhao Liang's body cannot bear this kind of torture.
Leaving the ship at this moment meant that his life was coming to a possible end.
Even though he belongs to a wealthy family, Zhao Liang can't help but feel hesitant.
"You sons of bitches used to be so superior..."
The disciple of the Beast Control Sect who was holding the bamboo raft spoke dirty words with a hint of revenge.
If Zhao Liang had not declared his family status and mentioned his possible involvement with the government, they would not have felt so hostile. However, after enduring the blows from the imperial court and even losing their gates, there were few disciples of the Beast Control Sect who did not hate those related to the imperial court.
For the Beast Control Sect, some disciples even have the intention to kill others.
"Do you still remember Dongfang Shuo running back and forth in the ancestral hall that day?"
On the bamboo raft, Dong Zhongshu finally spoke.
At this time, it was still more than ten meters away from the river bank and nearly fifty meters away from the big ship.
Dong Zhongshu took the lead in reminding Zhao Liang, which quickly brought him back to his senses.
"We'll know later!"
Zhao Liang nodded repeatedly.
How to deal with the best way when encountering a group fight, I have already learned a lesson when I stayed in the village overnight.
Although Zhao Liang and others were in a coma at the time, the matter was discussed back and forth afterwards as a source of travel talk.
Accordingly, everyone knows how to make an effective counterattack in the face of chaos.
At this moment, Dong Zhongshu was obviously ready to start planning a counterattack.
"Shut up, you two. If you have anything to say, we can wait until we get off my bamboo raft!"
The disciples of the Beast Control Sect holding the bamboo raft yelled, which immediately attracted several disciples of the Beast Control Sect in the distance who had never boarded the boat to watch, and there were also many people holding bamboo rafts who came closer.
But before these people could get closer, Dong Zhongshu had already drawn the sword from his waist.
He stabbed the gap in the bamboo raft with his sword, and a piece of bright red blood suddenly floated out of the water.
"Bah!"
Zhang Debiao exhaled and made a sound. Just two seconds after Dong Zhongshu took action, he followed up and kicked the Beast Control Sect disciple who was holding the bamboo pen into the water.
There is no shortage of rivers around Shujun City. Although everyone's water quality is average, no one is a landlubber.
Zhao Liang stretched out his hand to grab the pennies and pushed them downwards.
The bamboo rafts kept coming to the shore, and Zhang Debiao drew his bow and shot arrows.
"They fought back, let the monkeys kill them!"
"Call the hounds from the shore!"
As soon as an arrow was shot, everyone in the Beast Control Sect started shouting and making all kinds of weird calls and calls.
Dozens of water monkeys with white hair on their heads appeared on the river surface, and quickly dived to where the people were on the bamboo rafts following the command.
At the same time, dogs barked and screamed along the river bank.
Dozens of hounds emerged from the weeds and barked at everyone. Some hounds even began to swim into the river.
The individual fighting abilities of the monks of the Beast Control Sect are average, but this school is good at controlling beasts and even demons.
It seems that there are only dozens of people in the Beast Control Sect at the moment, but these people can draw hundreds or even hundreds of people into combat in a short period of time.
This is why Dong Zhongshu had to mention that Zhang Xuezhou was running and fighting in the ancestral hall.
For everyone, what follows will undoubtedly be a fierce battle.
