In the 21st century of our universe, it takes more than two hours to drive from Hangzhou to Xuancheng.
But in Dashu, even if you go very fast, you still have to run for a whole day to get there.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai stayed in Nanyuan Village for a day and a night, and it happened to be dusk when they left the village on horseback. Originally, the villagers wanted to stay with them for one more night, but they were worried about their schedule and set off quickly.
In those days, there were no such things as street lights, and visibility at night basically depended on the moon in the sky.
If the weather is good and the moon is round, then it will be okay. If the moon is covered by dark clouds, you will basically be unable to see your fingers on the road. Even if you carry a lantern or hold a torch, the area that can be illuminated is really limited.
Sun and Huang were very lucky. It was night, and the moon was bright in the sky, and the moonlight fell like silver on the ground.
But even so, they were not moving as fast as they did during the day. They walked slowly and hurriedly along the official road, and by the time they reached midnight, they had only walked more than ten miles (one mile is about 550 meters).
Just when tiredness hit, an inn appeared in front of them. They hurriedly called the door, gave the waiter a little "tip", and settled in.
After a night of silence, the two set off again the next morning and finally arrived in Xuancheng in time for Shenshi.
Although Xuancheng is not as prosperous as Hangzhou, it is still a larger county. Naturally, there is a high-speed rail network here.
This time, Huang Donglai had a better memory. He didn't let Sun Yixie buy the ticket alone and went with him. Unfortunately... there are still no direct tickets from Xuancheng to Luoyang.
When the two returned to the inn, they found out that the two horses, which were brought from where the bandits came from, were quite energetic anyway and could at least run for a few days and nights. They might as well just ride horses to Wuhu, then cross the river by boat, and then
Go to Luzhou.
It is very close from Xuancheng to Wuhu, and it only takes half a day, so Sun and Huang only stayed in Xuancheng for one night and arrived at the Yangtze River the next day.
Sun Yixie has been in this world for so long, and this is the first time he has seen the Yangtze River. In fact, he has never stood on the riverside and seen it so close in his previous world.
There is a saying that in what year did the great Jiangxi come, and the river rushed straight down to the top of Minshan Mountain.
In the long wind and in front of the magnificent scenery, Sun Yixie couldn't help but be filled with emotion and was inspired by poetry. Unfortunately, he didn't know anything about it, and in the end he only choked out one sentence: "Damn it, the Yangtze River is really wide.
.”
In the end, Huang Donglai got some ridicule starting with "nonsense".
To make a long story short, these two people were not short of money anyway, so they found a large boat at the ferry and prepared to cross the river.
However, they didn't know that they were already being targeted before they even got on the boat...
…………
On a sunny afternoon with gentle waves.
A sailboat sailed slowly on the river.
This boat was specially designed to carry passengers across the river. It was so big that not only people but also horses could be brought on board.
In addition to the handlebars and some workers, there were about thirty passengers on the boat, including Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.
Originally, this journey wouldn't take long. If there was a favorable wind, we would arrive in half an hour, but the accident... happened after all.
As soon as the ferry reached the center of the river, someone on the side of the boat was heard shouting, and then the crowd on the other side began to shout and cry. Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai saw this and went over to take a look.
After a quick look, I realized that it was because there were four light boats approaching rapidly on the river on that side.
Those four ships had sharp sails and tight sails, and light oars with many bones. An expert like Sun Yixie who often dealt with the water could tell at a glance that these were neither fishing boats nor passenger ships. They were mostly robber ships used by river thieves.
.
Of course, even if you are not an expert, anyone who often walks on this river can see that this group of people is not a kind person, otherwise they would not have the reaction just now.
Crash--
As the four ships approached, they could only hear the sound of chains shaking, and then eight "cross chain hooks" were thrown to the big ship here one after another and fastened tightly to the side of the ship.
The function of these hooks is not only to fix small boats and large ships together, but also for experienced river thieves to board the ship.
Ta-ta-ta...
Sure enough, within a moment, those in the boat jumped on the chain.
This group of people were either shirtless or wearing only a short jacket. Most of their lower body trousers were as short as three-quarters and tied with hemp ropes or belts. Their feet were all bare (so that they could jump into the water and swim at any time).
At first glance, none of them looked particularly tall, but each of them had well-defined muscles, with bulging temples and bulging cheeks. They all held curved daggers in their hands (convenient to bite in their mouths while swimming)
)...compared to the mountain bandits in Zoumazhai, these river bandits are undoubtedly much more capable.
"Don't shout!" After standing firm, the leader of the Jiang thieves took two steps forward and shouted loudly to silence the crying passengers, "Grandpa, I rob the rich and give to the poor, and I do justice for God.
I am a kind of vigilante who never kills innocent people indiscriminately. Anyone who knows how to do it will come and kneel to me. Grandpas will leave after finishing their work, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!"
Hearing what he said, everyone on the big ship, whether they were workers or passengers, rushed over and knelt down in front of them. The captain of the ship knelt at the front and took the lead in shouting: "Heroes, spare your life! We are running the ship."
It’s not easy either. What you earn is hard-earned money. Please consider that I have an eighty-year-old mother and a nursing child. Please show your kindness..."
"Okay, okay, I didn't come here to see you in the first place. Kneel down and stop talking." The Jiang thieves leader impatiently interrupted the boat-handle-style Jianghu cliche, then glanced around and stayed there.
It happened to Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.
He couldn't help but notice them, because they were the only ones who didn't kneel.
Not only did they not kneel down, they sat on the opposite side of the ship and talked and laughed, as if the fact that there were river pirates boarding the ship had nothing to do with them.
"Ha!" The Jiang bandit leader laughed when he saw this scene. He turned around and looked at the men beside him, then walked away and came to Sun and Huang, "Good boy, look
You two already know...Grandpa, I'm here to see you?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Huang Donglai said nothing and looked into the distance leisurely.
Sun Yixie raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Where are you from? Tell me your name first."
"Hey!" The other party laughed in anger, "You've got the guts, you dare to ask me to sign up?" He took a half step back, slapped his chest, and said loudly, "Your grandfather, I am Gan Ning Gan Xing Ba.
Later, people called him "a dragon on the Yangtze River, with a sword and a bow, and a flying dragon". He killed the rich and helped the poor, and acted for heaven..."
"Bah!" Before Gan Feihong could finish his words, Sun Yixie spat out and interrupted him, "You, a little thief who robbed a river, are calling a dragon? I have never heard of this.
First, tell me, how did you arrange yourself in the '13th Road'?"
As soon as these words came out, Gan Feihong's expression changed.
The so-called "Thirteen Paths" are a standard for dividing territory and status on the Green Forest Road. In terms of status, the four paths on land are "Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth", and the four paths on water are "Primordial Universe". According to regions,
In other words, it is divided into four channels: "south, east, north and west".
For example, in the Hebei area, a green forest hero of the highest rank, when asked about the "Thirteen Ways", can answer - "The sky is high and the clouds are pale, and the northern geese are flying alone."
That means that he is the "Heaven" character in "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", and he lives "alone" on the "North" side.
For another example, there is a group of third-rate water thieves who form a clique in the Jinsha River area in central Sichuan. When they are asked this question, they should answer - "The setting sun and the west wind, the gathering of righteousness creates a flood."
This means that they are the "Hong" generation in the "primordial universe". On the "West" side, a "gang of people" gather together to hang out.
In short, as long as you have those keywords when you answer, you can organize the language in any way. It depends on your own cultural level.
In addition, since it is called "Thirteen Dao", in addition to the twelve characters mentioned above, there is naturally another one... That separately divided one is called "Pi Zi Dao"; this "Pi Zi", in the slang
Li means dog. This path is specially assigned to those who have been recognized by the "Thirteen Paths", but later because of doing something so unscrupulous and inferior to an animal, even the Green Forest Path is ashamed to admit that you are a human being.
, the kind of people who will come to hunt you down collectively.
So which category does Gan Feihong belong to?
He is neither...
Any industry has its own rules. It doesn't mean that you are "one dragon" just because you say you are "one dragon", nor does it mean you are "two swordsmen and bows" just because you say you are "one dragon"; if that's the case,
Sun Yixie can give himself eight nicknames at any time, and the martial arts leaders will have to kneel down in front of him after the nicknames are given.
On Green Forest Road, you have to be recognized by people in the industry before you can have a reputation.
The way to get recognition is that you must first do enough or big enough deeds within a period of time. Regardless of whether it is in compliance with Da Zou's laws, at least you must make your peers think that you are a "good guy"... This
Only then can you enter the Tao.
Therefore, Lulin Dao would not recognize people like Ma Si from the beginning. He was not even qualified to become a "Pi Zi Dao"; of course, he probably never intended to be recognized by others.
As for Gan Feihong... It is difficult to verify whether he is a descendant of Gan Ning. Anyway, he thinks he is; he indeed wants to "kill the rich, help the poor, and do justice for heaven", and his brothers also
It was with this idea in mind that I followed him.
However, he had just come out and been around for less than half a year, and he had not done anything big; he just robbed these civilian ships on the river, which looked very rich and unkind, and then kept part of the money and scattered the rest.
poor people in the neighborhood.
You really want him to rob an official ship. It's not that he doesn't dare. It's just that he has normal intelligence and knows that he is leading his brothers to die, so he won't go.
In short, with Gan Feihong's current "deeds", it might be hard to enter the "Thirteenth Path", but he still understands the rules of the Green Forest Path.
At this moment, when Sun Yixie asked him this question, Gan Feihong immediately concluded that the young man in front of him was probably a Taoist, because he was not an expert and would not ask this question right away.
"I..." Gan Feihong felt that it was a bit embarrassing to say that he had not yet entered Taoism, so he replied hesitantly, "Am I telling you what I told you? Who are you?"
"Ha!" Sun Yixie stood up immediately. He raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, "You have to stand firm for me!" He also said loudly, "I... am known as 'Qing'
The jade pillars of heaven roll up the tide, and the golden beams frame the sea. Jingyu Hao's... the general manager of the green forest road and waterway, Jingyu...'s good brother Sun Yixie."
The first half of his sentence almost scared Gan Feihong to death, and the second half made him confused again.
But in fact, what Brother Sun said is not completely deceiving. He and Hao Jingyu do know each other; because the general manager of the Green Forest Road Waterway must come to Jiangnan, and when he comes to Jiangnan, he has to come to Hangzhou, and when he comes to Hangzhou, he must come to Hangzhou.
Do you have to deal with the aquatic products people here? If you want to deal with you, you must visit Brother Sun's wharf. Otherwise, it doesn't matter whether you are a ladle or a knife, you won't even be able to eat fish, right?
After going back and forth like this, the two of them had met several times, so Sun Yixie knew these slang words about "Thirteen Ways".
However, when it comes to "brothers"... Hao Jingyu is thirty-six years old this year. At that age, he was more than enough to be Sun Yixie's father; besides, even if age is not an issue, their friendship is.
Not to the point of "brothers", at best they can be regarded as friends in person, just acquaintances.
"What are you doing? I don't believe it from the look on your face." Sun Yixie said, "Okay, just wait for you to make flat-pan noodles, wontons and so on. Just wait and see if my brother Hao will come to take revenge on you after I die.
, come on, come on... hurry up and chop here." As he said this, he already opened his collar and exposed his neck in a posture like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
How did Gan Feihong know that Sun Yixie's shameless acting skills and his ability to tell the truth were a natural combination? He saw that the other party was so confident, and he not only knew the slang in Taoism, but also could tell Hao Jingyu's name, he was not as good as him
The more you think about it, the more you believe it.
"No, no, no, no...Brother! Brother Sun! You are my brother!" Twenty-five-year-old Gan Feihong said to seventeen-year-old Sun Yixie, and he held Brother Sun's arm and supported him.
"The younger one is blind and mistook the older brother for a wealthy bully passing by. Brother deserves to die."
Huang Donglai was listening to the conversation between the two people. He was laughing so hard that he almost pooped out, but he still had to endure it and continued to watch the river view.
"Hey~ That's right." Seeing that he had successfully deceived someone again, Sun Yixie immediately smiled. Then he put on a face of a hero who cherishes heroes, and said with a smile, "We are all brothers, it's just a misunderstanding, hahaha
