Some sections of the upper reaches of the Yellow River are suitable for boating, and the water flow has a large drop, and the boats can travel quickly. The transportation cost is much lower than that of Route 6. The Li family in Ningxia mostly imports goods from Gansu by waterway. They have more than a dozen boats.
Running this route, the second young master of the Li family is now on one of the boats.
"Master, who killed Li Bao? Wouldn't they be unjust if they suspected him?" said a tough man.
"It's quite unjust. We just killed six of his family members, robbed three thousand taels of silver, and threw hundreds of rock salt into the river. Compared with their family killing four of us and robbing a hundred horses, it's still better.
It's a loss, but forget it this time. Master, if I have an emergency, I'll go home first and settle the accounts with them when I'm free." The young man in a brocade robe said nonchalantly. There was a deck chair on the deck.
He lay on it with his feet up, holding an apple in his hand, and gnawed it while talking.
"Young Master came out privately this time, are you afraid of being punished by Master?" the man said.
"Although the old man is scary, that dominatrix is even more terrifying. Master, my skills are good enough. The dominatrix is better than me. If she knows that I sneaked out to play and committed such a case, she must
..." The young man in brocade suddenly sat up, threw away the apple, pointed to the river in the distance and said: "Whose boat is that, so pulled?"
The followers took a quick look and saw four large ships lying across the river, blocking most of the channel with iron ropes, specifically searching for ships going downstream. Those large ships were all flying a triangular flag embroidered with a tiger.
"Young Master, this is the flag of Lanzhou Li Er. I'm afraid he is here to block us."
"It's broken. We only have one boat, a dozen people, and cargo on board. What can we do?"
The entourage was in a panic, but only the young man in brocade remained calm and said: "Get to the shore."
"Master, we can't dock. It's still too late to turn around now. If we dock, we will become the food on other people's plates." The entourage begged.
"Fart, we'll be nothing if we don't dock. Master, my martial arts skills are all about horseback riding. How can I do it on this boat? There is still a chance of survival if I get ashore. If I continue to stay on the boat, I will only die!"
The boat boss had no choice but to find a flat place to dock. The people blocking the river to search had already seen the situation here, and immediately a group of cavalry rushed towards this side.
"Master, run, it looks like there are forty or fifty of them." The follower had just jumped to the shore and wanted to crawl back.
"Trash, weren't you foolhardy when we were dividing the money the night before yesterday? Why are you so timid now? Give the young master a gun and a horse, and watch me kill him seven in and seven out!"
The second young master of the Li family in Ningxia, his nickname is Li Mingying. Although he is tall and tall, he is actually only sixteen years old. He has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child. He is proficient in swords, guns, swords and halberds, and is especially good at wielding a spear.
The Silver Plum Blossom Spear has never met an opponent in the martial arts field and is quite famous in Ningxia. However, because he is the only son in the family, the whole family treats him like a treasure, so he has never experienced actual combat. The night before yesterday, he attacked the Li Family Salt Shop.
This was his first murder.
The Li family is a large family in Ningxia, with pastures and farms, shops and restaurants in the city of Ningxia, and also deals in goods from the north and the south. This private salt business is naturally indispensable. The pool salt in Ningxia is under the control of other families. The two of them
The Li family has been doing horse trading and private salt business for some years, but the price of horses has increased recently, and the Li family in Lanzhou is unwilling to execute the contract. Li Hu cannot be reasoned with, so he simply kills people and steals the goods, taking away more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Not only did the horses swallow up the horses, but they also killed the four Ningxia people who were escorting the horses. The bodies sank to the bottom of the river and could not be found. They were all gangsters on the road. There is no way to hide this fact. Mr. Li from Ningxia has not done anything yet.
The official reaction was that Young Master Li, who had sneaked out from home to play at the mouth of the river, got angry and took seven or eight of his followers to find trouble with Li Bao. This is how the story of the night before yesterday came to be.
It was already a crime to sneak out, but to kill someone from the Li family in Lanzhou was an even greater crime. He would have to be punished after returning home, but these were minor matters. If the young master's life was lost,
, this group of people would not have to live, so they tried every means to prevent Li Mingying from having a head-on conflict with the other party.
But the enemy was already in front of us, and any further retreat would be a disgrace to the Li family of Ningxia. Now the eight followers had no choice but to risk their lives to accompany the gentleman. Xun helped the young master prepare the saddles and carry the spears. Over there, Li Mingying had already taken care of him.
Standing ready, there is a purple gold crown on the top of the head, and there is a white pom-pom on it. The ball does not move when the person moves, and the ball trembles when the person moves. He is wearing a Shu brocade jersey with flowers, a jade belt embedded at the waist, and small powder-soled boots under his feet.
Dressed in plain white and with a naturally good face that looks like powdered face, he is really handsome.
Looking at the mount again, it was all white without a single hair, and with a silver-inlaid saddle and bridle, it looked like a man like heaven and a horse like a dragon. The followers couldn't help but praise it.
Li Mingying got on his horse and shouted: "Here comes the gun!"
The four followers carried over a bright silver spear that was one foot and eight feet long. In fact, it was not that heavy. This was all they wanted. Li Mingying tipped his toes and took the spear in his hand, woo woo.
After turning twice, the plain white gun tassel was thrown into a line, and the sterling silver steel-embedded gun tip shone brightly in the sun.
While they were docking the boat, people from the Li family in Lanzhou had already arrived. They were a hundred steps away. Li Hu and others saw that he was dressed powerfully, so they did not dare to underestimate him. Li Hu whispered to his men: "
I heard that this guy is very good at fighting with guns and horses. You can't fight head-on, you have to outsmart him." His subordinates all nodded secretly.
Li Mingying raised his spear with one hand and shouted at Li Hu: "Li Hu, if you kill my people and steal my horses, I will end our relationship with you today."
Li Hu shouted from a distance: "Yes, I snatched your horse, but you also killed my third brother. How do you settle the account?"
Li Mingying was about to defend himself, but then he gritted his teeth and held back, then whispered: "Master, tell him it wasn't us who did it. We just killed a few soldiers and grabbed some money."
Li Mingying said: "Nonsense, can he believe it when I say it? This time it was yellow mud that fell into his crotch. It's either feces or feces. Forget it, it's not a shameful thing. I admit it." Then he rushed to Li.
Tiger shouted: "Yes, I killed Li Bao. If you have the ability, just let your horse come over and chatter nonsense."
Li Hu was so angry that his whole body trembled, he drew the knife in his hand, screamed strangely, and urged his horse to come to kill him. The other Li family thugs also urged their mounts to kill him. On the other hand, only Li Mingying had a horse here, and the other eight
The followers could only fight on foot, but in order to protect the young master's safety, they still rushed forward to fight without hesitation.
The two brothers of the Li family took a hundred people from Lanzhou to the mouth of the river, leaving ten people with Li Long, and the remaining ninety people followed Li Hu. They rushed to Gaolan at all costs and sent forty people to intercept them on the river.
, Li Hu led fifty people and waited on the shore. The waves attacked him, and the young master Li Er of Ningxia was unable to fly.
Li Hu is the more reckless one among the five brothers of the Li family, which is why he is capable of killing people and stealing goods. However, he is also the more capable of fighting among the five brothers. Whenever situations need to be solved by force, he is usually the one who takes action.
This guy is covered in sinewy flesh, he can lift a stone lock as if for fun, and he can wield a broadsword superbly. He is indeed a fierce general.
Li Mingying started practicing martial arts at the age of three. He was from a serious academic class and followed the academic route. Li Hu was completely gained experience in actual combat. In terms of skills, he was a little inferior, but he had richer experience. Seeing Li Mingying
The attack was so fierce that he did not dare to meet it head-on. He made a feint move to move his horse past, and the other knights did not dare to sharpen their edge. Li Ming won like a sword and rushed into the enemy's formation, picking and stabbing with the left, but everyone stayed away from him. Why?
You can't poke anyone either.
Here, Li Mingying's men saw that their young master was winning, so they waved their weapons and started making noises, cheering for him. Li Hu sneered and shouted: "Spare!"
Several huge fishing nets were thrown at Li Mingying. He hurriedly waved his spear to pick them up, but there were too many and too big fishing nets, with lead weights underneath them. After a while, he was wrapped tightly and couldn't move.
Li Hu's thugs then surrounded him, knocked Li Mingying off his horse, and held him down with all hands and feet. Over there, the followers of the Li family in Ningxia saw the young master being captured, and turned pale with fright. Just as they were about to rush over to rescue him, a knife struck him.
He put it on Li Mingying's shoulder: "Whoever dares to move, I will kill your young master right now."
Faced with Li Hu's threat, everyone did not dare to move. The leader shouted: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. The murder of your third master has nothing to do with my young master."
Li Hu said: "You think I'm a fool. It's not you who did it. Why are you running away in such a hurry? Why do you come here to fight when you see us? There is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. Today I will help my third son get justice."
Then he smiled ferociously at Li Mingying and said, "You were so majestic just now. You even had a white horse and a silver spear. You must have listened to storytelling too much! You were dressed like an actor, and you were just wearing a silver pewter spear head."
Li Mingying was shaking with anger: "Li Hu, if you have the guts, kill me. Even if I frown, I can't be considered a hero!"
Li Hu said: "You can't tell that you are still a stupid boy with a strong backbone. It's a pity that your second master is even tougher. Originally, my eldest brother said that he would take you back for questioning, but because of what you just said, the second master decided to deal with you now."
When two stubborn tempers met, there was naturally no good outcome. Li Hu raised the knife high and was about to chop Li Mingying into pieces, but Li Mingying seriously stared at the steel knife with big eyes.
No fear.
Of course, a rough guy like Li Hu would not have the feeling of sympathy between heroes. Without even thinking about it, the steel knife struck down with the sound of wind.
With a whoosh, Li Hu felt the tiger's mouth go numb, and the steel knife came out of his hand. He turned around and saw a female general a hundred steps away holding a curved bow and aiming towards this direction. There were three arrows on the bow. Hundreds of people.
The knight galloped past her and was instantly surrounded by about fifty thugs.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and Li Mingying in the fishing net burst out laughing: "If you don't let me out yet, my nunyasha is here, and you will be able to see it this time."
The situation was stronger than the people. The thugs of the Li family in Lanzhou dismounted and surrendered under the threat of strong bows and crossbows. Only Li Hu hugged his arms and watched coldly as the archery girl released Li Mingying from the fishing net.
come out.
"Sister, bully him, he just bullied me." Li Mingying became very arrogant as soon as he escaped.
With a "pop" sound, five red finger prints appeared on Li Mingying's face. The young man looked at his sister who was seven or eight years older than him with grievance, "You hit me..."
"It's you who's beating you. What did you say about me just now?" The eldest girl looked arrogant.
Li Mingying didn't dare to speak anymore and walked aside dejectedly. The eldest lady of the Li family said to Li Hu: "Master Li, right? You're offended. Do you dare to ask what trouble my little brother caused in Lanzhou Mansion?"
Seeing that the other party had no intention of using force, Li Hu calmed down and said angrily: "Young Master did not cause any trouble in Lanzhou. He just killed my third son at the mouth of the river. He also killed ten men and robbed tens of thousands of taels."
Caihuo, may I ask this lady, is this the way your Ningxia Li family treats their business partners?"
The eldest girl nodded and pointed at Li Mingying: "Come here."
Li Mingying covered his face and said, "Don't slap me in the face."
"Don't worry, I won't slap you in the face, come here."
"Okay, okay, I admit, it was not me who killed his third son, but another group of people. I just robbed three thousand taels of silver and killed six people. But this was just to fight for a living. Our family
They grabbed the hundred horses." Li Mingying was afraid of his sister's power, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
The eldest sister smiled with satisfaction: "That's it, my younger brother never lies." She turned around and said to Li Hu: "Both of our families have their own faults, but when it comes to it, you take advantage. I think let's just forget about it. My family
I don’t want the few thousand taels of silver I lost, I’ll just burn paper for your third son.”
Li Hu was a little surprised when the other party took the initiative to surrender when they had the upper hand, but he immediately understood that it was because they were afraid of their own power, so he became even more confident and said: "No! Before the case of my third child is investigated, this
The boy can't go back!"
Miss Li's face changed, and then she smiled again and said: "Second Master Li, why bother? It is true that the Third Master was not killed by my younger brother. You'd better go back and find the real culprit."
"No, I must detain the person, otherwise I, Lanzhou Li Hu, will be shameless on the road in the future. Well, unless..."
"Unless what?" Miss Li's face smiled sweeter than honey.
"I heard that Miss Li is already twenty-five this year and has no in-laws yet. She must be very lonely at night. I will spend the night with Master Hu tonight and I will let your brother go..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Hu suddenly felt that the whole world began to spin in front of his eyes. After spinning more than a dozen times, he saw a familiar body standing in front of him, with no head and blood spurting from his neck. That wasn't it.
Is it just my own body?
Miss Li carefully wiped the scimitar on her boots. Li Mingying ran over and kicked Li Hu's body and said, "How dare you tease my sister."
Miss Li said: "I didn't want to kill anyone, but you dare to say that I can't get married, huh!"
