After all, it is not completely out of danger at this time. If the Chinese from the Central Tang Dynasty really occupy Hecang, it is difficult to say whether there will be warships following behind. This is not to hunt down Lin Fengjin.

Instead, they want to take advantage of the fact that the news has not spread, and quickly capture one or two unsuspecting counties to expand their results. This is definitely not impossible!

The water here was gentle, and the rain gradually stopped. The sampan creaked and rowed to the front. Suddenly, I saw that the blocked area was a large river branch. Reeds were floating on both sides. The eyes were full of gray reed flowers. Seven or eight boats

The river was tightly packed with small boats, and they were filled with firewood and other things. Once lit, they became fire boats.

The men leaning on the boat were all dark-skinned, holding their hands on their chests, standing casually, squinting at people, looking lazy. On the deck of the "Si Ming Wa" in the front, they were standing.

There were two groups of people clearly arguing about something.

Li Hu has been in the world of martial arts for a long time. When he saw this posture, he immediately knew the whole story:

"This is here to collect water money. Looking at this posture, they should be Bald Laogu's men. Why are these bastard water bandits making trouble at this juncture?"

Strictly speaking, most of the water bandits here are fishermen. The boats used to block the river are those who go in and out of the river branches to fish. However, there is a saying that people rely on the mountains to eat and the water to eat.

When they are in a pinch, they will go out to block the river to ask for money, and when they encounter the government ships, they will disperse in a hurry!

These fishermen are well-versed and have small boats. If you follow them, you will definitely get stuck in the mud within half a mile, so you may not be able to catch up. Moreover, these people are also quite knowledgeable, and there is no limit on the amount of money they can ask for, as long as they have property.

Just put it in the bag, so the government regarded it as a minor case of scabies and turned a blind eye. Many merchants also pinched their noses and admitted it.

But usually we just pay and leave, so it won’t cause traffic jams? Lin Fengjin and his party heard the noise on the boat from a long distance away, and suddenly realized:

"You are too outrageous. A ship, regardless of size, costs two taels of silver. It would be better to just grab it."

"That's the price today, no negotiation!"

"The last time we came here, wasn't it two hundred cents for a big ship and one hundred cents for a small boat?"

"It's the same price as Po Tian. Either you wait here, or you pay and leave!"

"Tell the old man to come out! Why haven't I seen you before? Do you think you are asking for money like this? I will post a message to the county when I get back!"

"You can do whatever you want with this master. Just say one word today and you will have to pay before you leave!"

“………….”

After hearing the quarrel on the boat, Lin Fengjin and Li Hu both realized the price increase at the same time - to be precise, it should be the lion's opening. It was too coincidental. Their sampan was approaching.

Later, the guards on the boat all knew Li Hu and knew that they were all traveling together, so they pulled them up. Lin Fengjin walked directly to the front, looked at the tall and thin man in charge opposite and said simply:

"Here are two taels of silver! Make way!"

The tall and thin man was suddenly stunned, but immediately rolled his eyes, stretched out his finger to poke Lin Fengjin's chest, and spit out a smell of smoke from his big yellow teeth, and said contemptuously:

"You're the guy with the thing leaking out of your crotch. How dare you talk to our Lord Marquis like that?"

Lin Fengjin narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said calmly:

"Don't you want money? I've given you money, but you still won't give way?"

The tall and thin man, Mr. Hou, grabbed the silver and said disdainfully:

"You want to buy a road with only two taels of silver? It's too late, it's gone up to five taels now!"

The people next to him were in an uproar, but Lin Fengjin was not surprised and said cheerfully:

"Okay, I'll give you five taels."

The Marquis was suffocated again. He obviously didn't expect Lin Fengjin to be so easy to talk to. When he was planning a topic for rejection again, Lin Fengjin's eyes already flashed coldly, and he slapped the Marquis with his backhand to poke him.

He used his middle finger to pull it upwards, and there was a crisp sound, and the marquis's screams suddenly rang out.

At the same time, Lin Fengjin was even more merciless. The sharp knife he held in his right hand was thrust into the guy's belly very quickly, until it reached the handle, causing him to stagger back two or three steps.

Lin Fengjin did not pull out the knife, fearing that the blood splattered would stain his clothes, so he made up for it with a slap in the face and kicked the guy from the bow into the water, because the relationship with the power of destiny had been opened.

, so in the slow-motion process, all the complicated expressions on the man's face such as twisting pain, panic and regret can be seen clearly!

Why did Lin Fengjin talk nonsense with this "Master Hou" before? Wasn't it to give Li Hu and the others a chance? As soon as he made a move, Li Hu was already holding the ghost head that could be called a murder weapon with an expressionless face.

The knife knocked over three or four people with great force! After falling into the water, he didn't even make a move to struggle. He just stiffly sank into the water, gurgling and red. It was obvious that he had lost his life before falling into the water.

.

These water bandits obviously did not expect that Lin Fengjin and the others would rise up and take action so resolutely that the scene suddenly became chaotic. Some were screaming, some were yelling for revenge, and some were timidly planning to escape.

, and some people jumped directly into the water with the intention of drilling the ship.

Lin Fengjin took out a smooth pebble from his pocket and held it tightly. Ever since he severely damaged Pan Dongliu with this thing, he had a soft spot for it. When he saw the water bandits on the opposite side,

Someone among them planned to light the fire boat and push him down, so he was shot hard. His head was bleeding, and he fell down inside the cabin with his nose covered and screamed. At a distance of seven or eight meters, the shot was absolutely perfect.

.

Speaking of which, these fireboats used to block the road are all small sampans of fishermen, which are just rolled out for a show. Not to mention that after the boats were burned, there will be no tools for digging in the water. Even the boatload of firewood is probably

It was shipped next to my broken stove. If there was some shortage, the whole family might have to drink cold water.

Under such circumstances, it is easy to imagine the people who are really willing to take the initiative to set fire to the boats. Most of the seven or eight boats blocking the river immediately dispersed with a "coax", and those who were planning to set fire to the boats immediately dispersed.

He can escape faster than anyone else.

The die-hard elements on the remaining two or three boats were beaten to death by Lin Fengjin's several stones. In the end, only one boat was set on fire and flowed down the river, but it was pinned down with its mast by well-prepared people two or three feet away.

, not threatening the big ship at all.

Under this situation, the guards on other merchant ships also rushed to help. This opportunity to beat a drowned dog without risk and to show off one's skills in front of the master's family was an opportunity that could not be missed.

On the other hand, several gentry looked at Li Hu, who was commanding the people next to them and nodded secretly. As long as a brave and ruthless person pays as much as he wants, he can organize the mob under him like a finger.

I really haven't seen anyone else except "General Li" in front of me, and I am already thinking about how to poach him.

After eliminating the group of water bandits in front of him in three strokes, Lin Fengjin knew that these people intercepting here were probably the shadows behind Zhongtang. However, although the hands of the Zhongtang people were long, they probably could only do this.

At this step, the main crisis is not in the front, but in the pursuit from behind.

Next, Lin Fengjin said hello to the ships in front, and then led his fleet to the front. Looking at their anxious backs, some accountants were shaking their heads and telling others that young people are

Immature, since we have encountered each other, we should go forward together. At least we can rely on the strength of the people to take care of us. If there is really a card to collect water money ahead, wouldn't it mean that we will be single and weak and let the mermaid be eaten?

Already?

Just after Lin Fengjin and his party drove smoothly for twenty miles, they suddenly heard a dull sound from behind, which seemed to shake the world, and then a strange blue smoke came out.

stand up.

Li Hu was extremely experienced and immediately said to Lin Fengjin:

"Young Master, this should be the self-destruction caused by the destruction of the Mo family's machine beast. I have seen it once before, but it was not on such a large scale. Among the ships passing by just now, there is a fleet of the Wang family, the largest cloth merchant in Jianye.

, only they can buy this level of Mohist machine beast... It seems that the pursuers are really vicious and menacing."

Lin Fengjin thought for a while and said:

"It will take at least half an hour for them to plunder, and it will take another half an hour for them to catch up with us along the waterway---let everyone take action and abandon all the crude belongings! If the pursuers are

As for warships, the draft must be deeper than ours. If that doesn't work, it will be fine if we prepare to scuttle the last ship, Simingwa. We should reach Meilingdu thirty miles ahead, and there are always soldiers stationed there.

, I don’t believe that people from China dare to come here.”

As expected, the next group of people sailed straight down with the wind and the current, directly to Meiling Ferry. After paying the due tax, they continued on their way. There were two to three hundred people stationed here at Meiling Ferry, and there was also a group of Nanzheng Ferry teams that were famous all over the world.

The crossbowmen, no matter how powerful the pursuers are, can still be delayed for an hour or two.

What's more, Old Butler Liu also vaguely revealed some "rural rumors" to him through the generals he was familiar with here, saying that the inspection envoy Xiang Lie and the county magistrate were both killed, and that Hecang had been captured by internal and external cooperation. Be careful not to be pretended to be Hecang.

A sneak attack by the Tang Dynasty people in the warehouse...

Although the general heard this as a joke, he was somewhat on guard in his heart. If a sneak attack was still successful under such circumstances, then Nanzheng would really be doomed.

After crossing the Meiling Ferry, the group of people could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the boat's speed also slowed down a little. The paddlers, who were already half-tired, had time to sit on the deck and wipe their sweat with the towels on their shoulders.
