Chapter Thirty-ninth: The waves on the river

Chao Gai has been very upset recently.

From early August to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even a few days ago, he kept receiving bad news one after another.

First, my friend Song Jiang and Song Gongming wrote an anti-poem in Xunyang Tower and was asked about the news of his beheading.

Before he had discussed the countermeasures, he received news that the three Ruan brothers had died in Xuzhou. He was furious at the time and almost vomited blood.

Song Jiang's affairs were imminent, so he had to ask Liu Tang to lead a few brothers to investigate the thief who killed the three Ruan brothers, and took the large army to Jiangzhou to rescue Song Jiang.

Fortunately, the rescue was quite smooth. With the help of local heroes Mu Hong, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Li Kui and others, Song Jiang was successfully rescued and a group of people were recruited into the gang.

Later, he received news that the court sent troops to encircle Liangshanbo. He hurriedly led a large group of troops to travel thousands of miles back to support Liangshanbo. Fortunately, military advisors Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng were there, so they were successfully dragged back and defeated the official army together.

Before he could relax for a few days, the death of Liu Tang, Wang Ying and others came from Suzhou. He was heartbroken and vowed to ask his brothers to take revenge, but he received news that Song Jiang returned with the wounded Mu Hong and others. Song Jiang told him that he could not kill the murderer for the time being. After hearing Song Jiang's advice, he endured it for the time being.

A few days later, Wu Yong told him that as the village grew, there was not enough money and goods in the village, and the birthday gift he snatched a few days ago was almost used up.

As the leader of Liangshanbo mountain village, he had to consider big and small things about the copycat.

The robbery of the Su family's ship was also a temporary idea. According to brothers from the south, the Su family's power in the Jiangnan area should not be underestimated. Whether it is the government or the world, the Su family is involved. However, the situation in the parish is now critical. If you can't afford to let your brothers drink and eat meat, how can Chao Gai convince the public? What do the brothers think of him?

In his opinion, Liangshanpo was not even afraid of the government army with the help of geographical advantages, so why should he be afraid of the Su family far away in the south of the Yangtze River? So he asked someone to follow the Su family's ship from Xuzhou to Jinxiang County to dare to take action. It was a long time to plan.

However, after all, the Su family has a big family and is not easy to offend him at once, so he asked the Miss Su family to come out to talk, just to give her enough face and take out appropriate money to find a way out. As for robbing her tower ship, it was just a threatening statement. The tower ship has poor mobility and is of no use to him, Liangshan, and it is better to be real money and silver.

Timely.

Looking at the beautiful woman coming out of the cabin, Chao Gai, who was standing on a black-sailed boat, asked loudly: "Is Miss Su Wan from the Su family here?"

Su Wan was about to answer, but Uncle Fang whispered to her: "Miss, I have asked Lao Ba to go to the county town for help. You should just let the thief head down and delay the time. When the official army comes, these thieves will naturally leave."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan nodded and replied to Chao Gai: "I am Su Wan from the Su family in Yangzhou. I know very well that you are desperate and poor people and do not want to face you with swords. What do you want? Just say that Su Wan will help you with all your strength."

Chao Gai laughed a few times and said loudly: "I heard that Miss Su's famous world is clear and well-mannered. When I saw her today, she was indeed well-known. We were indeed forced to go to the mountain to fall into trouble by corrupt officials. So I told Miss Su directly that there are thousands of brothers in our village to support them, so the money spent a lot. I hope Miss Su can fund one or two."

Su Wan thought for a while and replied, "If you just want something yellow and white, that's easy to say. But this trip was not for business, and I don't bring much money. I wonder how much you guys need?"

Chao Gai touched his beard and said, "Since Miss Su is so sensible, I am not pretentious anymore. Ten thousand taels! As long as Miss Su helps me wait for ten thousand taels, the Su family will be my friend in Liangshan in the future."

Su Wan's trip to Bianliang was to give away people, and the other was to the business of the imperial merchants. How could she not bring a lot of silver? However, she was not willing to be related to the thieves. Ten thousand taels were not too much for her, but once she was given out, the Su family would have a reputation as a "capital thief" and would have a huge impact on the business of the Su family and the government, so she could not agree.

Su Wan said again: "Ten thousand taels is not too much, but this time I traveled just for fun. The total amount of silver I brought was only seven or eight. I can't get ten thousand taels for the time being. It's better for the hero to let me go to Bianliang first. I have some friends in Bianliang, so it's easy to borrow ten thousand taels. Then I'll send someone to you to send them, how about it?"

Chao Gai was also a smart person. Seeing Su Wan saying this, she was sure that she was unwilling to pay the money. Then she said coldly: "Since Miss Su didn't bring enough silver, I have to invite Miss Su to visit Liangshan, Shuibo. When will I see Yinliang? Then I will send Miss Su out?"

Chao Gai said with a wave of his hand, and the Liangshan tribe surrounding the boat immediately began to throw hooks and lay ladders, preparing to board the boat.

Su Wan didn't expect that these bandits were so direct, and their faces were a little as gray for a moment.

Uncle Fang, who was burly on the side, whispered: "Miss, it's okay, leave it here to me. You go to the cabin to stay with Miss Wang, don't come out."

Xu Ziling, who had come out with Su Wan before, looked at her and said, "Miss Su, let Mingxia and the others stay with you."

Su Wan glanced at him and turned back to the cabin.

At this time, the crowded Liangshan tribe, like an ant, began to climb boats.

In addition to the four uncles of Fang, the Su family had more than 40 guards on the tower ship. Although their strength was not as strong as that of Fang and others, they were much stronger than ordinary warriors. At this time, the guards were distributed at four corners of the tower ship, blocking the climb of Liangshan tribes.

The Liangshan tribe used hook locks and rope ladders with hook locks, thrown them onto the railings and hook them up, and climbed upwards.

In a blink of an eye, the first group of troops boarded the ship were all knocked into the water by the guards. However, they were so watery that they fluttered in the water for a few times, and then lined up again to climb the hook lock and rope ladder.

The guards tried to cut off the ropes with their knives, but the rope had an extraordinary texture and it continued to cut. In addition, the troops kept climbing up, so they had to turn their attention to the troops who were climbing up.

Xu Ziling was also bombarding the climbing troops with his fist, blasting the troops into the water one by one. He was bombarding him, and accidentally saw several small boats coming from a distance, with two people he knew on it.

Chao Gai, who was in charge of the overall situation, also saw the small boat that came to support and said happily: "Zhang Heng, brother Zhang Shun, why are you here?"

Zhang Heng on the boat said, "Mr. Wu ordered my brothers to come and help Brother Chao Gai to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Chao Gai laughed and was about to speak, but Zhang Shun said in a deep voice: "Brother Chao Gai, that person is the murderer who killed Wang Ying and others!"

Chao Gai followed his gaze and saw Xu Ziling, who kept punching the bow of the tower ship, his face curled up and said, "Then today it can be said that he will kill two birds with one stone. It can not only solve the crisis of the parody, but also avenge the Liu Tang brothers. It's so satisfying!"

The Zhang brothers hugged their fists and began to participate in the attack.

The general leader of the Su family was Uncle Fang. At this time, Xu Ziling noticed the actions of Zhang Heng and the others and reminded Uncle Fang: "Uncle Fang, pay attention to those two."

Uncle Fang's eyesight is naturally not comparable to Xu Ziling. He had noticed Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun long ago. When he heard Xu Ziling's reminder, he just nodded slightly.

At this time, the struggle on the tower ship reached a relative balance. The Liangshan tribes kept climbing upwards, and the guards kept knocking them down. The Liangshan tribes could replace people and rest for a moment. Everyone knew that in a short time, the guards would definitely lose their defense line due to exhaustion.

Uncle Fang was not in a hurry, because as long as he could hold on for a while, the reinforcements from the government would arrive. However, the appearance of Zhang Shun and the others brought him some sense of crisis. He was not afraid of their strong attack, but feared that they would make some small moves.

Sure enough, Zhang Shun and the others said a few words to Chao Gai. Chao Gai nodded. Zhang Shun and the others took some objects from the boat, jumped into the water, dived down, and disappeared, perhaps because they were going to go to the bottom of the building to cause trouble.

Uncle Fang is knowledgeable and has seen all kinds of geniuses. He is really afraid that they will drill the bottom of the boat. He immediately said to Xu Ziling loudly: "Boy Xu, be sure to guard the deck! I went to get those two water ghosts."

Xu Ziling understood it and nodded, "Uncle Fang, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to guard it."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fang, who had not taken action, straightened his waist, and immediately his joints all over his body exploded. His thick and long calves bent and he jumped down the boat.

The people on the boat down the boat saw a huge black shadow falling down. With a loud "bang", the boat was smashed into pieces and slowly sank. The people on the boat also fell into the water one after another, and the black shadow that exposed pulled off a board and stood on the undulating water surface on the board.

Before the Liangshan tribe on the boats around him could react, he saw the big man's right arm bent backward, and then his fist was filled with golden light. After gathering energy for three or five breaths, the big man's huge fist hit the water surface.

It was a move that overlord archer.

A big hole was blown straight out of the water surface, and the water body squeezed to both sides, suddenly swelling, and knocking over several small boats. Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, who were secretly swimming underwater, were subjected to the main force of the fist, both vomiting blood, and their breath surging, and they had to swim out of the water to breathe.

The loophole that was blasted in the water instantly returned to its original state. Zhang Shun and the others, who floated to the water, looked at the big man stepping on the boat board in shock.

Uncle Fang glanced at them and said lightly: "You are also a little capable, why don't you follow the right path and become a thief?"

Seeing that he did not take the opportunity to kill him, Zhang Heng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied: "The court is incompetent, corrupt officials are everywhere, the people are in distress, and the people are living in poverty. Brother Gongming Gao Yi, we voluntarily sacrifice our lives to follow him and practice the way for heaven."

Uncle Fang sneered and said, "It's ridiculous. With the name of robbing the rich and helping the poor, the robbery of the caravan is the way you wait for the heavens?"

The two were speechless.

Chao Gai, not far away, saw Uncle Fang's actions before. He was afraid that Zhang Heng and the others would make mistakes, so he led people to surround Uncle Fang.

Uncle Fang narrowed his eyes and looked at Chao Gai and asked, "Are you Chao Gai known as the Tota Heavenly King?"

Chao Gai stared at him and said, "I heard that Fang Dasheng, the leader of the Su family guard, was extraordinary in martial arts. I still said that he was a saint. When I saw him today, he was really extraordinary. Since you have such martial arts, why are you willing to live in the underworld and be a servant in the guard housekeeper?"

Uncle Fang snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I can't see what you think?" After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense and jumped to the black-sailed ship where Chao Gai was.

It turned out that when Chao Gai saw Uncle Fang beneath, he asked the Liangshan tribe to launch an attack with all his might, and he led a team of troops to restrain Uncle Fang.

Seeing Uncle Fang jumping over, Chao Gai immediately abandoned the boat and jumped to the boat next to him. Uncle Fang landed on the boat and saw that Chao Gai avoided fighting, he was a little angry and condensed his fist and bombarded him.

Seeing the golden energy, Chao Gai did not dare to hold it up, and his hands blocked it. Although Uncle Fang's fist energy was fierce, it was too far away from Chao Gai and consumed a lot of power, so Chao Gai easily took it with both hands.

Seeing that the distance was not enough, Uncle Fang jumped towards Chao Gai again. However, Chao Gai still avoided fighting and only dodged. This made Uncle Fang quite a headache. He was not good at body skills, and he was not as good as on land as he wanted, so he could only stand on ships. Therefore, Chao Gai's method of "the enemy advances, I retreat, and I retreat" really stumped him, and he could not use force even if he was strong.

At this time, Xu Ziling on the ship was also under tremendous pressure. Shortly after Uncle Fang jumped down, the attacks of Liangshan tribes suddenly became much more fierce. The guards on the ship were exhausted and asked people to board the ship several times.

While Uncle Fang was entangled with Chao Gai, several screams suddenly sounded. Several exhausted guards were caught by the Liangshan tribe and pulled them into the river.

Countless Liangshan tribes flocked to the places guarded by those guards, and the scene was a little out of control for a moment.
