Niujia Village is located on the west bank of "Toad Bay". It is a small village built by the water. Most of the houses in the village are thatched eaves and cottages. Some people's yards are separated from the outside by earthen walls and fences, while others simply regard the street as yards.

This is a fishing village in the north, quiet and desolate.

Liu Yixuan and Wang Zichun were walking in this wilderness village and felt a rare tranquility. However, Liu Yixuan knew in his heart that this tranquility would not last too long, because tens of thousands of soldiers of the Song Dynasty were already ready to go on the south bank of the Yellow River. If he could complete the task smoothly, within five days, the army on the south bank would cross the Yellow River and head straight to the bottom of Puyang City.

Liu Yixuan came to Niujia Village this time with only one purpose, that is, to "recruit" Niu Er.

"Brother Liu, do you think Niu Er really listens to us?" Wang Zichun asked as he walked. He didn't have much confidence in Liu Yixuan's idea.

"As this, I'm not sure, but if we want to steal thousands of ferries from Carp Bay, we must rely on the power of these fishermen!"

"But these fishermen have always been living a life of silence, so how could they risk their lives against the Jin soldiers?"

"Haha, my good brother said this. In the past, these fishermen did not dare to resist the Jin soldiers because there was no official from the court to take the lead. The people only wanted to live a stable life. Even if the cruel oppression of the Jin soldiers, they could only endure it again and again. However, the situation was very different at this time. General Zongze went to cross the river with the imperial edict, just to regain a large area of ​​territory north of the Yellow River. I think if the people in these occupied areas heard this news, they would be very excited. Think about it, who would be willing to be a slave to the destruction of the country? Who would be willing to be a cattle and a horse for foreign tribes?"

"Well, what my brother said makes some sense, but Niu Er may not trust us. We tortured him as a Jin soldier before, and he will definitely hold a grudge against us."

"Haha, I have my own way to deal with people like Niu Er!" Liu Yixuan was full of confidence and felt that recruiting Niu Er should be no problem.

While they were talking, the two arrived at the stone bridge at the entrance of the village. Liu Yixuan stopped and turned around to look at the surrounding environment. It was a small bridge and flowing water, and the elm and willows were shaded. Although it was a mountainous countryside, it was also a paradise.

The roads in the village are rugged, with bumpy pits and some mud. I don’t know who owns ducks, swaying their butts in groups, leisurely walking along the side of the road.

"Young Master Liu! Your Majesty!" Xiao Liuzi rushed to catch up with him, holding two kilograms of raw meat and a jar of wine in his hand.

"Young Master Liu, you asked me to buy some small wine and meat! Where are we going to fire?"

"Where do you go to fire? This is bought for Niu Er's family!"

"What? I bought it for him! Why should we buy this wine and meat for him?" Xiao Liuzi asked in confusion.

"We are going to visit their house today, so we can't go empty-handed, right? He is a local fisherman. Our army has to count on these fellow villagers to cross the river. Let's go!" Liu Yixuan greeted Wang Zichun and Liuzi and entered the village together.

Niujia Village is not big, so it is natural that it doesn’t take any effort to find Niu Er. Just ask the people in the village to find the gate of his house.

"Bang bang bang!" Xiao Liuzi started smashing the door in front.

"Here you come! You damn, why did you come back today?" A woman's voice came from the door.

With a creaking sound, the door opened. The woman looked twenty-seven and eight years old, with a blue cloth turban, with a fair face and a bright and shiny hair. Although she was a mountain village girl, she was still charming. She looked up and saw three strangers coming outside the door, and she was mistaken for her own men. She was inevitably a little embarrassed for a moment. However, after all, she was a village woman who married, and the embarrassment disappeared quickly.

"Who are you looking for?" the woman asked.

"Is this Niu Er's family?" Liu Yixuan asked.

"Yes, Niu Er is my man!"

"Oh, that's right. Let's go in!" Liu Yixuan greeted Wang Zichun and Xiaoliu, and walked towards the yard.

"Hey hey, who are you? Why do you come in just come in?" The woman saw that all the strangers were born. Although they were young white-faced young actors, she was afraid that others would gossip about her when they saw her, so she hurriedly stopped her.

"Oh, we are Niu Er's friends, we came here to find him today!" Liu Yixuan explained with a smile.

"Niu Er's friend?...Niu Er hasn't come back yet, so you'd better go outside and wait!" The woman didn't know what kind of friend they were Niu Er's, and maybe she was here to collect debts and couldn't say it was clear that she didn't want them to enter the yard.

"You woman are so rude. How dare you drive us lord out the door?" When Xiao Liuzi heard that the woman was about to drive Liu Yixuan and Wang Zichun out of the door, he hurried forward and scolded her.

"Sir? Where did you come from?" When the woman heard that she was an official, she became even more worried. She thought Niu Er had committed some case. In addition, Niu Er had not returned home yet at this time, so she didn't want to escape for fear of crime.

Seeing that her face was a little worried, and was afraid that Xiaoliu would scare her, Liu Yixuan hurried over to comfort her again.

"Sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense. In fact, we are all Niu Er's friends. Today we came to see him. I've brought you some food!" As he said that, Xiao Liu handed the wine and meat in his hand to Niu Er's wife.

When Niu Er's wife saw that the person came, she brought wine and meat. Obviously, she was not a person who came to the house to cause trouble. She smiled and said to her. Because Liu Yixuan called her "sister-in-law", the woman also borrowed a donkey and hurriedly said, "Oh, it turns out that it was a few uncles. I just thought you were here to collect debts. I was rude for a while. Please don't be surprised. Uncles, then please invite them in the house!"

When Liu Yixuan heard her "uncle" screaming with "uncle" in a short voice, she felt that she had grown older and was very different from her. She quickly said, "Sister-in-law, don't call her uncle uncle. My surname is Liu, they all call me 'Young Master Liu'. You can call me that too, I'll listen to it."

The woman was surprised to hear him speak, and just smiled slightly, "Then please sit in Mr. Liu's house!"

"No need, let's wait in the yard. I think your man is coming back soon! There are also a few tables and stools here." Liu Yixuan said as he came to a wooden table in the yard, wiped the stool, sat down with Wang Zichun and Xiao Liu.

As soon as Liu Yixuan sat down, he heard footsteps outside the door. When he turned around, he found that Niu Er had returned.

It turned out that Niu Er did not go home directly after the Jinying business. He went around the town to see if there was still work for the shops that had worked as a clerk. Niu Er was also a living person. Because there was a family to support him, he often went to find some small work to do. After he walked around the town, he did not see any store that wanted to recruit people. He had no choice but to buy some rice and flour to rush home.

As soon as Niu Er entered the house, he almost wanted to retreat, because before dawn, he was beaten up by these people. Now they ran to their home again, and it must be that the visitors were not good.

"Niu Er, where can I go!" Liu Yixuan immediately stopped him.

Niu Er could only admit that he was unlucky and hurried over to answer.

"My uncles, you are good, just let the villain go!" Niu Er hurriedly came over and begged.

"Let you go? What do you want to let you go? So that you can continue to work hard for the Golden Man?"

"Isn't this... the young one can do anything? If my family wants to have a meal, I don't go to earn some rice and flour, will they all starve to death? Please give me some people and don't bother the young one again!"

Seeing her husband begging, Niu Er's wife hurried over to ask Niu Er, "Niu Er, what is your relationship with these people? Why did they buy us wine and meat?"

When Niu Eryi heard this, he didn't know what they were going to come, so he hurriedly said to his wife: "I don't know who they are, where are the wine and meat they bought? Take it over and return it to them."

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan felt that Niu Er had some misunderstandings about him. Since he wanted to use it for his own purposes, he had to explain the matter to him.

"Niu Er, I think that these wine and meat are the ones I have come to apologize to you, and you don't have to refuse. The morning incident was just a misunderstanding. You were just watching by the river, and we treated you as a Jin soldier, which caused a misunderstanding. I hope you don't mind!" Liu Yixuan knew that Niu Er was not bad in nature, so he deliberately softened his words.

When Niu Er heard that they came to apologize, he couldn't give him a look. He knew that they were all people with swords, not green forest heroes, but heroes from the world, so he did not dare to offend them.

"I dare not, I dare not, the young man is a fisherman, and I dare not swear to a few heroes. I also ask a few of them to let the young man go, so we will not overturn the river!"

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan sneered: "You still don't violate the rivers with me? Do you really think we are the heroes of the green forests who are walking in the world? I won't talk nonsense to you. Let me tell you the truth, we are all imperial guards of the Song Dynasty! I am also the captain of Guozheng, the emperor, who was granted the title of the emperor. As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, you are a Jin people. I can behead you on the spot. I am forced to spare your life. You are not grateful for your favor for not killing. You are still pretentious with me here for a long time. What should you blame!"

Niu Er was afraid when he heard that Liu Yixuan was an official in the Song Dynasty. He was already frightened to the Jin people against his conscience, so he was afraid that one day the Jin soldiers would leave and the officials of the Song Dynasty would settle the score for him. He didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. Seeing that Liu Yixuan was righteous and powerful, he knelt on the ground.

"Sir, please spare me, please spare me, please. The villain is confused for a moment and has done stupid things. I hope you will be kind to me. The villain will quit this job now and will never dare to do it again!"

"Hmph, do you want to go and report the news to the Jin people? When the Jin soldiers come to capture me, you can get the reward, right?" Liu Yixuan asked sternly.

"I dare not, I dare not, the villain has no intention. Although the villain is working for the Jin people, he always hopes that the Song army can drive these Jin people out of the Central Plains. But now he can't scatter the net and catch fish. He has no choice but to take the wrong path. I hope the Lord will take a clear understanding!"

When Niu Er's wife saw her husband kneeling down, she also knelt aside and cried and begged for mercy. "I'm asking for mercy, my man is blamed for being confused for a while. In order for our whole family to have food to eat, she had to do this job!"

Liu Yixuan didn't see these poor people suffering the most. When he saw that he and his wife begged for such a mercy, he had long lost his heart. He quickly said, "Okay, okay, get up. If I want to hold you accountable, I will rectify you on the spot on the side of the river. I can keep you alive until now. Get up!" As he said that, he winked at Liuzi and asked him to help them up.

Niu Er got up and wiped his tears and thanked him quickly. Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "I also know that your helplessness is that the court defeated the war and made you suffer with it. However, this time I crossed the river to eliminate these Jin people and take back our land and city!"

When Niu Eryi heard this, he became energetic and hurriedly said, "How many military horses will you bring this time?"

Liu Yixuan paused for a moment, turned his eyes and said, "Uh...well, there are only one hundred people at present!"

"What? One...one hundred people!" Niu Er opened his mouth with a surprised look on his face, "What can one hundred people do? There are at least one or two thousand people in the Jin soldiers camp. What's the point of your hundred people?"

Niu Er said as he looked outside the yard wall, because although there were a hundred people, he only saw these three in front of him, and guessed that the rest were hiding outside the yard.

Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Stop looking, there is no one outside, we are only three in your village at the moment!"

Niu Erbeng took back his gaze and said, "Sir, these Jin soldiers are all fierce. How can you say you have to take back our city? I think you should go back!"

"What are you saying? Since I have come, how can I go back empty-handed? Let me tell you the truth. There are 50,000 troops stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River. We are just the vanguard. After we check the enemy situation and get the enemy's warship, the army on the south bank will soon be killed. Is this why I came to find you today?"

"Look for me? What can I do? I'm just a fisherman and I don't dare to kill people. Why don't you look for me?" Niu Er said that he was going to fight with him, so he shook his head and refused.

"No, look at you so cowardly! You are also a man. Now the country is using you. Instead of standing up, you are timid and shrunk. How come you look like a man?" Liu Yixuan saw that he was timid and afraid of things, so he started to preach to him. He saw Niu Er's wife aside and said to her: "Sister-in-law, look at your man, you are timid and afraid of things, where does he look like a man?"

Seeing that his man was so cowardly, Niu Er's wife also said from the side: "Yes, Niu Er, look at these adults, they all look younger than you, and they are not afraid of fighting with Jin soldiers. What are you afraid of?"

Niu Er quickly turned around and scolded her wife: "Shut up, what do you know about me? You are so willing to be a **!"

Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Niu Er, do you think we want you to fight, and you are really good at fighting with the Jin soldiers? We are the ones who are in the army to do these things. How can you unarmed people do it?"

"Oh? Then I wonder what the adults need to do if they are young?" Niu Eryi didn't have to fight, so he didn't have to worry too much.

"You need to do your old job!" Liu Yixuan said with a smile.

"Sir, you're joking. The villain will roll a boat and cast a net, and no one else can do it!" Niu Er said with a smile.

"Yes, I just want you to rock the boat, and you also have to shake the boat to the south bank of the Yellow River!"

"This... I don't understand what the adults mean?" Niu Er shook his head and asked.

Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Niu Er, you should know where Liyu Bay is, right? You should also know what is in Liyu Bay?"

"Car...Liyu Bay?" Niu Eryi was obviously surprised when he heard the three words "Liyu Bay". "The smallest person in Liyu Bay really knows that he must have asked someone else. The people parked there are our fishing boats."

"Of course I have inquired about it, otherwise I won't come to find you. The army on the south bank of the Yellow River wanted to cross the river overnight, but the ships were all taken to the north bank when the Jin soldiers withdrew their troops. There were not enough ships on the south bank for the army to cross the river, so we crossed the river first, with the goal of getting a thousand warships!"

"What, a thousand warships? Sir, do you think these warships are placed in Liyu Bay? They are guarded by Jin soldiers, so how can they be that easy to do?"

"Don't worry about this. I have my own countermeasures. Now it depends on whether you agree to help me. If you agree to me, I will be rewarded after the matter is completed!"

"What if I don't agree?" Niu Erzhan asked tremblingly.

"Hmph, if you don't agree to me, since you already know our secrets, I will have to eliminate the troubles!"

After hearing this, Niu Er said helplessly: "Where is this little guy who has a choice?"

"Haha, just know, you have no choice, you should work with me!"

Niu Er took a deep breath, cheered up his spirits, plucked up his courage, and said, "Okay, the villain is willing to listen to the instructions of the adults!"
Chapter completed!
