After leaving Zhuxian Town, Zhu Biao and his group of six people went straight south. Ten months later, when they were passing through Huaixi, Zhu Biao had an idea flash in his mind and took a detour towards Jiangzhou.

On the bank of the Xunyang River, the river was flowing across the river and the waves were rolling. Zhu Biao and his party stood on the beach by the river. The cool and refreshing river breeze blew by, making Lu Fang shiver and said to Zhu Biao.

"Sir, why should we abandon our horses and go to the river to take a boat?"

Zhu Biao tightened his collar for Xiao Zaixing and did not answer. Zhu Wu who was standing beside him smiled slightly and took over the conversation: "Young Master is fishing."

"The current at this beach is very fast. Where can I fish? That's the place to fish." Lu Fang frowned slightly and pointed to the reeds not far away.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao and Zhu Wu looked at each other, smiled at each other, but did not answer, leaving Lu Fang confused, and turned to Wu Song beside him.

"Brother Wu, why don't you speak today?"

Wu Song's eyes at this time were looking at the place where Lu Fang had just pointed. As a top martial artist in the world, Wu Song's eyes and ears were not as good as Lu Fang's. A awning boat could be vaguely seen in the reed marsh.

In the silhouette, a man dressed as a boatman is looking at this side through the gap between the reeds.

An idea flashed through his mind, but Wu Song also laughed, turned to Lu Fang and joked: "I think this beach is a good place for fishing."

Lu Fang was stunned by what Wu Song said. He was about to respond when he heard his young master say quietly: "The fish is hooked."

Lu Fang heard this and looked towards the river. Just now, a black-awned boat came out of the dry reed swamp. At the stern of the boat was a man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a mugwort pole. He had a seven-foot body with triangular eyes and a yellow beard.

With red hair and red eyes, the boatman stirred the wormwood stalks rhythmically under the water, and the awning boat sailed toward the shore smoothly and steadily.

After they arrived at the shore, they heard the boatman saying to Zhu Biao and others: "Are some of our guests going to cross the river?"

"I'm about to cross the river. Could you please the boatman to give me a ride?" Zhu Wu and Zhu Biao looked at each other and raised their hands towards the boatman.

Hearing Zhu Wu's words, the boatman glanced at Zhu Biao and others intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "At this time, the wind is high and the waves are rough on the river, there are few ships, and a few guests want to cross the river.

But there is more money than there is."

"It doesn't matter how much money you have. I'll give you more after crossing the river." Zhu Wuhun waved his hand carelessly and passed the water casually.

The boatman smiled and nodded, took out a wooden plank from the cabin, put it on the beach, and asked Zhu Biao and others to get on the boat. After Zhu Biao and others got on the boat, the boatman glanced at the reeds behind him.

, pretending to be holding the board, then heard a voice coming from behind.

"Boatman, please wait a moment and take someone across the river."

Everyone heard the sound and looked around, and saw a man with a height of 16 feet 56 running to the shore. This man was about thirty years old.

She is redder in beauty, wearing a white collared shirt, a piece of silk tied around her waist, and holding a heavy package in her hand.

After the man got on the boat, the stern quickly collected the planks and stood at the stern. The wormwood pole rippled back and forth several times in his hand, and the awning boat sailed toward the center of the river like an arrow off the string.

Not long after, when they were far away from the river bank, they saw the boatman swinging his oar, glancing at the man who was getting on the boat behind him, and then started to sing:

"I grew up by the river, and I am not afraid of lawsuits or the sky.

Hua Guang came to take advantage of me last night and grab a gold brick before I left."

Zhu Biao and his party were sitting in the cabin. When they heard the sound, they looked at each other and smiled. They saw the boatman put down his oar, threw a nail into the cabin, inserted a sharp knife into the board, stood up from the boat, and cut the

He leaned against the eaves of the cabin and sneered: "Guests, the waves in the middle of the river are too big. To cross the river at this time, one person needs three guan of money."

After saying this, before Zhu Biao and the others could reply, the man who got on the boat said: "I went to Jiangzhou to sell some local goods. I have little money at the moment, but I don't have three coins to give you. This

There are many boat operators on the Xunyang River to ferry passengers, but none of them can raise prices like you."

"No money, but it's easy to do without money."

The boatman smiled pitifully and rushed towards the man who was speaking. He grabbed his head with one hand and lifted his waist with the other hand, and threw him down into the river. The man cursed loudly and beat him violently in the middle of the river.

Then, a wave came, but there was no sound.

Seeing the man submerged in the water, the boatman tore off his false mask, turned to Zhu Biao and his party and said coldly: "Seeing that you and the others are dressed in extraordinary clothes, they must be the profiteers who harm the people. Today, I bumped into the master.

In your hand! Do you want to eat flat noodles while you wait? Or do you want to eat wontons?"

"Don't make fun of me, boatman. Why do you call it pan-dao noodles? Why do you call it wontons?" Zhu Wu smiled when he heard this and asked calmly.

The boatman stared, and when he saw Zhu Wu's smile, he felt as if he had been humiliated. He said angrily: "I don't have time to play with you! If you want to eat flat noodles, I have a sharp knife under the boat. I will

With just one knife, I will chop them all up and wait until they are thrown into the water. When they want to eat wontons, they will quickly take off their clothes and jump naked into the river to die!"

"If grandpa doesn't want to eat your chaotic and flat noodles, and doesn't want to give you money, what can you do to grandpa?" Wu Song heard the boatman's extremely arrogant words, his eyes narrowed, and he glared at the boatman and said coldly.

When the boatman heard this, he smiled instead of being angry and said: "I know that people like you rely on force to get close to you, and you don't know how high the sky is. Even if you are a tiger on land, you still need to know what Grandpa is doing when you enter this water."

Dragon."

Zhu Biao listened to all the words of the boatman, but slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said to the boatman: "I heard that there was a hero on the Xunyang River. He couldn't reach the surface of the water for forty or fifty miles, and hid under the water for seven days and seven nights. He was trapped under the water.

He is called Baitiao in the Waves—Zhang Shun. He also has an older brother who works as a punter on the Xunyang River. He is also called Chuan Huoer—Zhang Heng. I wonder if the boatman has ever heard of these two brothers?"

When the boatman heard this, his hair stood up, and he said blankly to Zhu Biao: "Who are you? How do you know the names of my two brothers?"

"Since the boatman said this, I guess you are the boatman, and the person you threw into the water just now is your brother Baitiao." Zhu Biao looked at the boatman and said meaningfully.

This boat was just like Zhang Heng's boat, but at this moment, he was in a state of confusion. In the past, he had been doing business on the Xunyang River without success, but he never thought that he would encounter a tough situation today.

Zhang Heng looked at Zhu Biao seriously. Instead of treating him as an ordinary merchant, he held his temper and cupped his hands towards Zhu Biao and said: "Please give me your name so that Zhang Heng can take a look."

What kind of hero did you meet today?"

"Listen carefully, my young master is from Yunzhou, Shandong, and his surname is Zhu Xingsan. He is called Lord Taishan in Jianghushan, but he can't tolerate your flat noodles and chaos." Lu Fang glanced at Zhang Heng with contempt, which was quite obvious.

Said arrogantly.

When Zhang Heng heard this, he was stunned on the spot. After a while, he pushed the golden mountain and fell the jade pillar and bowed down on the board of the ship. He said: "My lord! Why don't you know your name early, so that I don't almost do something evil? Just call me

Two brothers were ridiculed by the heroes of the world!"

After Zhu Biao heard this, he was about to reply when he heard the mute sound of oars on the river. He was riding the wind through the waves, and a speedboat seemed to be flying down from the water.

There were three people on the boat: a big man standing on the bow of the boat with a fork in his hand; two young men at the tip of the boat were rocking two fast oars. After a while, they came close.
