"Why?"

For Fang Ze, Fang Hai was not only his proudest son, but also his hope. Fang Ze taught him all his skills throughout his life, and shamelessly hired famous teachers from all over the world.

This son did not live up to Fang Ze's expectations. His talents in all aspects were excellent, especially in water fighting, he was better than his master.

What pleased Fang Ze the most was that although his son had great abilities, he never had the slightest hint of arrogance. He was filial and loyal. Even the old people in Shuizhai respected him.

However, Fang Ze never imagined that one day his son would betray him.

Disappointment, sadness, anger, sadness, all the emotions came at once, and finally turned into a sad question, "Why?"

Fang Hai lowered his head in shame and said: "Father, please forgive me for not agreeing with your actions. Even if you don't think about the Fang family, please think about the brothers in the water village. The Dahe Gang cannot do without Master Xu.

, our brothers in Shuizhai need Master Xu’s leadership more to become stronger.”

"Think about what kind of life we ​​lived in the past and what kind of life it is like now. My child knows that you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and wants to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. The brothers below worship you, no matter how reluctant they are, even if they know it

Even if it is a dead end, I will follow you without hesitation. But I can't bear to see my brothers embark on such a road of no return."

"Nonsense." Fang Ze was so angry that he shouted: "How can this be the point of no return? The man has owned the world for four hundred years, what kind of suffering has he not experienced? Dong Zhuo is just a clown, and now he is ten years old.

If the eight princes attack him together, can't we destroy him?"

"But father, among the eighteen princes, except for Cao Cao, whose whereabouts are unknown, who else actually sent troops to fight Dong Zhuo?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Ze was stunned and couldn't say a word to refute.

Fang Hai continued: "Dong Zhuo's large-scale relocation of the people in Luoyang will inevitably lead to the emptiness of the Central Plains. The princes from all over the world will inevitably covet him, and the world's chaos has already taken shape. Our brothers in Shuizhai need a leader who can grasp the general trend of the world. For this, my father

No, not even my kid. Apart from Mr. Xu, my kid can't think of another person."

After Fang Hai finished speaking, he knelt in front of Fang Ze, pulled out the sword from his waist, turned the handle over, handed it to Fang Ze's hand, and said: "If the father still feels that the child has really done something wrong, please chop off the child's head now.

Because I really can't bear to see the fate of the brothers in Shuizhai where their wives and children will be separated." After saying that, he threw himself on the plywood and remained motionless.

Other sailors also knelt down in front of Fang Ze.

Fang Ze looked at his son who was kneeling at his feet, and then at the other brothers who were kneeling. He raised the sword in his hand with trembling lips, but after making several gestures, he still couldn't bear to cut it down.

Xu Kang suddenly said: "Fang Ze, your son's people are all on the boat now. As long as Fang Hai dies, they will definitely obey your command. I can tell you one more thing clearly, this is the only time you can kill me."

opportunity, because I will never expose myself to such a dangerous situation again. Have you figured it out?"

Fang Ze immediately tightened his grip on the steel knife in his hand. After a long time, he finally let go.

"Sir, you won. I didn't expect that even my son would be on your side. I can't beat you after all."

Xu Kang walked to Fang Ze, patted him on the shoulder, and said happily: "It's the two of us who won. I always believe that you are the best father to the brothers in Shuizhai, and you will not bear to see them suffer, otherwise they will

I won’t be willing to sacrifice my life for you.”

Fang Ze smiled bitterly and was about to say something when suddenly a figure quickly rushed up to the bow of the ship, shouted, "Fang Hai", and struck Xu Kang with a knife.

This was the moment when the crisis had just been resolved, and everyone had relaxed their vigilance. Unexpectedly, someone would commit an assassination.

Xu Kang didn't expect it, but his reaction was extremely quick. He didn't retreat but advanced, and rushed into the assassin's arms. "Bump" was heard twice, and the assassin fell out. However, as soon as his body touched the deck, he immediately fell out again.

It bounced up and was about to rush again.

Fang Ze had already shouted: "Loach, stop."

When the assassin heard this, he stopped in his tracks and stared at Xu Kang fiercely.

Xu Kang also took a few steps back before he stabilized his figure, and said with some surprise: "Who is this kid? He is so smart."

Fang Ze hurriedly bowed and apologized: "This son is the adopted son of a lower official. I picked him up by the river when he was a baby and I have raised him to this day. He is just wild and untamed and has disturbed you. I hope you can atone for your sins."

Xu Kang waved his hand, he could even avoid Fang Ze's crime, let alone such a trivial matter. Besides, Xu Kang didn't want to cause trouble at this time, so he said generously: "It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter, as long as no one gets hurt.

"

Fang Hai stood aside and said: "Loach, why don't you thank me quickly?"

The loach stared at him with a ferocious expression, its breath was sizzling, like a wild wolf that wanted to choose someone to devour.

Fang Ze stepped forward, stroked his head and said, "Loach, no one is to blame for this." Only then did the loach calm down.

Seeing that Loach was only sixteen or seventeen years old, Xu Kang asked curiously: "I didn't expect you to have such good skills at such a young age?"

Ni Loach also looked at Xu Kang and said, "You are not very old. Although people in the village say you are a good person, if you are an enemy of Uncle Fang, you are my enemy."

Xu Kang laughed "haha" and said: "Fortunately, we are not enemies now."

Changes in the Dahe Gang came and went quickly. Although Xu Kang tried his best to retain Fang Ze, he decided to resign from all positions.

Xu Kang understood his feelings and had no choice but to agree. However, he transferred all his duties to his son Fang Hai, which could be regarded as a kind of explanation and comfort to him.

This incident also served as a wake-up call to Xu Kang. He was too incompetent as a gang leader. Since the founding of the Dahe Gang, he had not met with the main leaders of his gang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Kang was not in a hurry.

I hurried back to Luoyang and drove the boat up and down the river. Occasionally, I would stop at the entrance of each hall master and exchange greetings, which was a good way to connect with each other.

After all, as a high-end leader, if he is separated from the grassroots people for a long time, he will inevitably make everyone feel strange and alienate him.

While Xu Kang was busy appeasing his Dahe gang on the Yellow River, Hua Xiong, who was far away in Guangcheng Pass in the south, was not angry with Lu Bu for his repeated feats and wanted to make some contributions to bring glory to the Liangzhou army. Therefore, he ignored Dong Zhuo's ban.
