Shaxian is not large in area. It is just a small county town with a radius of less than ten miles and a wall of earth.
If it were not a battleground for military strategists located at the intersection of Ba River and Dajiang River, this small county town would not even exist.
The Bahe River can be said to be a tributary of the river, but in fact it is connected to both ends of the river. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a canal on the side of the river.
Shaxian County controls the only waterway above the river that transports goods to the inland Jiangxia. There are far more soldiers stationed in the city than there are ordinary people living in the city.
The guards at the city gate saw Lin Feng and his group of ten people and nine cavalry, each carrying a weapon, and tried to stop them from entering the county town.
Deng Sixie had his head wrapped in thick white gauze, and with a ferocious look on his face, he washed the guards' faces with saliva.
Are you kidding? Although Fourth Master Deng left Dajiang under the pressure of Boss Gan, his old reputation is still there. Shaxian County is a bad place. You dare to stop Fourth Master from entering the city. It's just a joke for you Qiu Ba.
Is it floating, or is Fourth Master Deng unable to lift the knife?
When the captain of Sha Xian's army rushed to the city gate after hearing the news, he recognized the famous Fourth Master Deng on the river. He immediately cursed at the guards at the city gate, and then watched Lin Feng and his party enter the city with smiles on their faces.
.
It's not that Deng Si's fists and big knives were fast enough to scare Colonel Sha Xian's courage.
The main reason was that Deng Sishoe was well-known in the wild, and most people on both sides of the river did not dare to offend him.
What did this grandson do for a living?
To put it bluntly, whether it is Jingzhou or Yangzhou, which prefecture does not have the beautiful male favorite sent by the fourth master Deng, and which brothel does not have the royalties from the fourth master Deng?
Fourth Master Deng cannot be beaten, but the nephrite Wenxiang under his control is far sharper and more domineering than swords, guns, swords and halberds.
Lin Feng was very disappointed.
After moving into Shaxian County, Deng Sixie took Jiang Qin out to gather information.
There are only a few hundred households in the small county, and most of the people living here are related to each other. Even if they have no friendship with each other, they are still familiar with each other.
The two of them randomly asked a few people on the street and got the general information about Kou Feng.
Kou Feng is known as the number one son of Sha Xian. Anyone who relies on Sha Xian City for a living will know about Master Kou.
The magistrate of Shaxian County, Liu Bi, was a clan relative of the emperor's noble family and a distant cousin of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. He was generous, righteous, generous and kind, and treated the people under his rule as his nephews, which earned him the support of the people of Shaxian.
It is a pity that Liu Bi, a good person like him, was frail and sick since childhood, which led to the failure of heirs after marriage. Although he had a wife and two concubines, he never had any children. He only gave birth to a daughter to his old wife many years ago. Due to his age,
When you grow up and marry someone far away, you are not allowed to sit around your knees in front of the court to fulfill your filial piety.
It happened that the biological sister of compatriot Liu Binai passed away due to dystocia not long after she came out of the cabinet, leaving only a poor child who lost her mother right after birth.
This child is Kou Feng.
As Kou Feng grew up, when he was four or five years old, he hated his stepmother for unknown reasons and was beaten to death by the cruel stepmother with a thorn stick. He almost followed his biological mother underground.
When Liu Mi heard about this, he became furious. He led his servants to the Kou family and beat his brother-in-law, who had only been in office for one year, until his skin and flesh were torn to pieces, making him moan and groan.
On the contrary, it was the vicious stepmother who had killed Kou Feng. Since she was the woman in the back house, Liu Bi did not make any harsh demands.
He forced Kou Feng's father to hand over the child, and Kou Feng grew up with his uncle from then on.
Because Liu Bi had no children, he gradually began to regard Kou Feng as his own son. He was afraid that the stars would not give him the moon. He was afraid of flying away, afraid of falling when he held it, and afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth.
Fortunately, Kou Feng was also very ambitious. He had learned literature and martial arts since he was a child. Not only was he familiar with poems and books, he could write well, but he also had extraordinary strength and martial arts skills. Moreover, because of his strong temperament and chivalrous conduct, he was considered a leader in the Shaxian area.
He is quite prestigious, and when meeting the black and white people, they always call him "Kou Gongzi".
It's just that Lin Feng's timing was unlucky.
Kou Feng turned 16 years old in April this year. After his coming-of-age ceremony, he bid farewell to his uncle and wanted to travel around the world to gain experience, make friends with the scribes in the south of the Yangtze River through poetry and prose, and meet the world's powerful men with fists and kicks.
Liu Bi was reluctant to let Kou Feng leave his side at first, but later he couldn't stand Kou Feng's entanglement, so he finally relented and agreed.
In fact, if Lin Feng had arrived in Shaxian a few days earlier, he would have just met Kou Feng. However, he was slightly delayed for a few days because he was waiting for Jiang Qin to come to Zhou Tai's house.
It happened that just a few days ago, Kou Feng said goodbye to Liu Bi, took a boy and two servants, and started his journey to travel around the world.
Fortunately, Deng Sixie did not live in vain. After he went to the county government office to visit Liu Mi, the magistrate of Shaxian County, he finally found out the general plan of Kou Feng's trip.
If Kou Feng had not suddenly made up his mind, his first stop on this trip away from home would have been to go upstream along the river to the ancient Miluo City on the shores of Dongting Lake.
After receiving the report from Deng Sixie, Lin Feng had no intention of staying in Shaxian for too long. He repeatedly urged everyone to rush to Miluo overnight to find Kou Feng.
Seeing that his lord was so impatient, Xu Huang asked Dian Wei privately: "Is this Kou Feng very important to my lord? Why does my lord treat him with an attitude of never giving up until he achieves his goal?"
Dian Wei shook his head: "It's hard to say, but I have been following the lord for a long time. I have never seen him so anxious about looking for someone. It seems that this Kou Feng is very unusual."
Does Lin Feng really value Kou Feng so much?
Stop talking nonsense, Kou Feng is just a second-rate general, how can he be worthy of Lin Feng's worry if he can't sleep well and eat well.
When he heard that Kou Feng was heading to Miluo, an important riverside town, Lin Feng immediately started to think.
Shaxian City is small and remote, making it difficult to transmit information.
If you arrive at the ancient city of Miluo, as the first important town on the Dongting Lake connecting the upper and lower reaches of the river for the transfer of merchant ships and goods, there is an endless stream of merchants and travelers coming and going from east to west, north to south, and it is just in time to release the news of Deng Xiaosi's appearance.
Lure the elusive Gan Ning by yourself.
When the time comes, he will first have a fight with Gan Ning and use force to suppress him. If that doesn't work, he will directly reveal his identity and take Gan Xingba under his command at all costs.
If Gan Ning was willing to bow down and bow down, he would just give up. If he hesitated or was stubborn, he could only let Zhang Laosan, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others rush up, tie him up with ropes, force him back to the plain, and then slowly gather him back.
As for Deng Si's shoes, which were used as bait, it depends on whether his life is good or not.
Gan Ning wanted to kill Deng Sixie in front of Lin Feng, but he definitely couldn't do it.
But if Gan Ning swears not to surrender unless he kills Deng Xiaosi, then Lin Feng can only sacrifice Deng Xiaosi in exchange for Gan Xingba's allegiance.
Who told Deng Xiaosi not to be a good bird? He had done so many unscrupulous bad things in the past, and countless children and girls in the world had been ruined by him. His death at the hands of Gan Ning was not a grudge.
God's way is good for reincarnation, let's see who can be spared.
Of course, Deng Sixie didn't know that Lin Feng had already prepared a plan to use him as bait to catch Gan Ning, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River.
In order to perform as well as possible in front of Lin Feng, he also deliberately obtained a forged official document from Liu Mi through his old relationship, re-hired the cargo ship that had not had time to return, and rowed into the river overnight.
Go straight against the current to the ancient city of Miluo.
Miluo Ancient City was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and has a history of thousands of years. It is located around the Xiangyang City in later generations.
Because we go upstream, it takes about seven or eight days to get from Shaxian to Xiangyang.
Along the way, I benefited from the forged official documents that Deng Si Shoe obtained. They can be used as genuine, because they are exactly the same as the real documents, whether they are made of paper or stamped. It is just a fake document.
Not a single word of the content is true, it is all completely fabricated.
The crew members on the ship were also quite familiar with everyone, although after being booked by this group of people, they lived in worse accommodation than the war horses on the ship. After all, the war horses were afraid of water, so they were all blindfolded and moved into the rooms of the crew members.
Inside, the crew now take turns sleeping on the deck on the deck, and they must be watched over every night to prevent anyone from being dishonest in their sleep and rolling into the water to drown.
However, in view of the doubled income and upgraded food, the crew still treated Lin Feng and others as their biological fathers, and they only had to visit An's door every morning and evening to kowtow.
Nothing happened along the way, so Lin Feng recruited Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to his side, and conspired with the two to spread the news about the appearance of Deng Si's shoes.
When Jiang Qin heard that Lin Feng wanted him to do such a small thing, he immediately slapped his chest loudly.
On the river, Jiang Qin was indeed not as well-known and knowledgeable as Deng Sishoe, but he was also a figure who had been in the arena for two years, and there was no shortage of ways to convey news.
