As soon as Liu Xin counted to three, Gan Ning jumped into the water, causing a big splash. He became a water bandit when he was thirteen years old and has been walking on the river for three years. He has excellent water properties.
In addition, he was brave and bloodthirsty, and the surrounding gentry were all afraid of him. When they heard the name Jinfan Thief, they all surrendered and offered gold, silver and jewels obediently. Few people dared to resist. Now that it has passed in recent years, this time he
I brought my brothers to prepare to go home for the Spring Festival. I didn't want to encounter Liu Xin's fleet on the river, but I couldn't scare them, so I had to accept Liu Xin's challenge in a hurry.
Gan Ning was sitting in a small boat. The bow of the boat was not far from the water. He jumped straight into the river with his head and feet on his head. The cold river water made him shiver. Not to mention that it was already the end of winter, it was also the beginning of late autumn.
, Gan Ning rarely went into the water. After all, he had few opponents on the river, and there was no chance for him to fight. Therefore, he felt very uncomfortable when he went into the water this time. He floated on the water to take a breath and calm down.
Start swimming to the other side.
Liu Xin counted and moved her body until Gan Ning swam three or five steps before he flipped and submerged into the water. Liu Xin had not received professional diving training, but had watched many athletes on TV.
He knew some of the essentials of diving, so although he couldn't do any beautiful aerial moves, nor did he know how to press the splash, his posture when entering the water was much better than Gan Ning's.
Zhao Yun, Wenpin and others were all sweating when they saw it on the boat. Their boat was far away from the water. Liu Xin set off later than Gan Ning. By the time Liu Xin entered the water, Gan Ning had already swam out.
More than ten steps.
Liu Xin plunged headfirst into the river. He did not surface immediately. Instead, he plunged down to a depth of more than three meters and swam forward. Liu Xin naturally had his reasons for doing this. The water temperature under the river surface was higher than
The higher the river surface and the longer the diving time, the better the body can adapt to the cold environment. At the same time, the resistance to swimming is much smaller. Liu Xin swam more than 20 steps in one breath before surfacing.
Zhao Yun and Wenpin were on the boat and saw that Liu Xin had not come out of the river after being in the water for a long time. They couldn't help but become worried. Suddenly they saw Liu Xin's head popping up, already half the length of Gan Ning, and they immediately burst into cheers.
Liu Xin's original occupation also belonged to a high-risk industry. There is an important skill that must be practiced in this industry, and that is escape! Because no matter how smart a thief is, there will be times when he makes a mistake, so Liu Xin pays special attention to training in this area.
.
In order to be able to escape smoothly, in addition to having a flexible mind, it also requires strength. This strength is reflected in two aspects: speed and endurance. Liu Xin understood that since it was an escape and the incident happened suddenly, the route would definitely not be the same as the one planned in advance.
The waterway sometimes becomes a last resort, and escaping through the waterway has another advantage, that is, it can conceal the body odor and make the police dog lose its target. Therefore, Liu Xin has practiced running and swimming for a long time.
.
The police catch thieves in different seasons, so Liu Xin not only goes swimming in summer, but winter swimming is also one of the sports he often practices. Although after arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially during the two years in Hejian, Liu Xin had few opportunities to go swimming.
Winter swimming, but the meditation skills he practices can help him get rid of the coldness in his body, which can completely make up for the impact of lack of training.
Gan Ning is indeed very good at water. If he were to step on the water, fight on the river with a big knife, or dive into the bottom of the river to fight underwater, Liu Xin would not be his opponent. But now the competition between the two sides is speed.
This was not Gan Ning's specialty, let alone in the cold winter. Gan Ning had not swam very far. Since his body had not been active beforehand, his physical strength gradually became a little weak. There were also signs of cramps in his legs, so he had to slow down.
At this time, Liu Xin's swimming style had changed to freestyle. Her strong arms were paddling rhythmically, and her speed was getting faster and faster, leaving Gan Ning far behind.
On the ship, Zhao Yun also beat the war drum himself, and the soldiers cheered loudly.
Liu Xin swam to the other side, turned over and swam back. Seeing that the situation was over, Gan Ning simply stopped and stepped on the water, exposing half of his body. Liu Xin couldn't help but secretly admired that Gan Ning was really good at water, and he just stepped on the water with his hands.
His skill is absolutely incomparable.
At this time, Wenpin had already commanded the boat to row over and lowered the two cables. Liu Xin grabbed the rope with one hand, and with a slight movement, the whole person rose into the air from the river, landed lightly on the bow of the ship, and was exposed again.
A beautiful little skill.
Gan Ning was still floating on the river, letting the biting river wind blow his body blue, and shouted loudly: "I lost, but I don't accept it!"
Liu Xin wiped her body and said: "Gan Ning, I am willing to admit defeat. It is useless to talk more. If you are a good man, come on my boat."
Gan Ning gritted his teeth and grabbed the cable. The soldiers pulled him up with all their might.
Several soldiers rushed forward and put five or six steel knives on Gan Ning's neck. Gan Ning's face was already blue and blue from the cold, but he was not afraid at all. The two captains flattered Liu Xin and said: "Congratulations.
My lord, the Jinfan thief has been roaming the Yangtze River for many years, and the government was afraid to avoid him. I didn't expect that he was captured in front of my lord today."
Liu Xin glanced at them with disdain and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't be rude, please get out of here!"
Gan Ning straightened his body and said proudly: "Humph, you don't have to be hypocritical. Today I, Gan Ning, fall into your hands. I'm going to kill or behead you. It's up to you!"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "He is indeed a man. Gan Ning, you change your clothes first, I will wait for you in the cabin."
Gan Ning changed into clean clothes and looked coldly at the line of soldiers who were watching him. Without even frowning, he walked into the cabin with his head held high. In the cabin, Liu Xin sat in the middle facing the door, while Zhao Yun and Wenpin sat separately.
On both sides, Gan Ning was not polite and sat down carelessly opposite Liu Xin.
Liu Xin raised her hand to signal the soldiers at the door to pass a bowl of ginger soup to Gan Ning, and said slowly: "Gan Ning, since you have admitted defeat, why do you still have any objections? Tell me, what do you have?"
Gan Ning took the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp. He felt warm in his body, and then he said angrily: "I rely on my watery nature, and I didn't expect to lose to you. If we fight with real swords and guns, you are no match for me."
."
Liu Xin laughed heartily and said: "Gan Ning, it's not that I look down on you, but when it comes to martial arts, you are not even qualified to fight me. If you want to challenge me, you must first defeat my seventh brother."
Gan Ning stood up excitedly and said, "Where is your seventh brother? Let's go and compete now."
Zhao Yun said calmly: "Jinfan thief, you just had a competition. If I fight you now, I won't be able to win. If you really want to compete, let you rest for a night, and I will compete with you tomorrow morning."
Down."
Although Gan Ning is brave, he is not stupid. He has never encountered an opponent in his three years of debut and is very confident in his martial arts. But today's competition in the water consumed too much of his physical strength. Since Zhao Yun took the initiative to mention
He wanted to come out and compete again tomorrow, so he said: "Okay, then tomorrow morning, you and I will fight to the death. Also, how are my brothers now?"
Liu Xin nodded secretly, Gan Ning was still a kind and righteous person, and said: "Don't worry, they have food and drink, they are fine. If you defeat my seventh brother tomorrow, I will let you go. If you lose,
, but you are not allowed to cheat anymore, everything must be left to my disposal."
Gan Ning patted his chest and said, "Okay, then it's a deal!"
When this happened, the fleet was naturally unable to move forward and had to camp on the shore. Gan Ning and his men were surrounded in the middle and guarded by a large group of soldiers, so Liu Xin didn't have to worry about anything happening to them.
Early the next morning, in an open space on the river bank, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning stood facing each other.
Zhao Yun pointed the bright silver gun in his hand and said: "Gan Ning, if we fight on horseback, I have bullied you, so we will fight on foot."
Gan Ning heard Zhao Yun's accent and knew that Zhao Yun was from the north and must be very good at riding skills, but he refused to forgive him and said, "Since you don't dare to fight on horseback, what if I let you do it?"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Yun to reply, Gan Ning waved his sword and rushed forward. Zhao Yun lit up his sword lightly and held the sword. The two of them fought together. You and I fought each other.
There were more than fifty rounds. Gan Ning was sure to win today, and his sword went straight to Zhao Yun's vitals. However, Zhao Yun got Liu Xin's order last night not to hurt his life, so he was a little tied up and couldn't use it.
It turned out to be a fairly even fight.
In order to make Gan Ning convinced of his defeat, Liu Xin did not allow the soldiers to beat drums and shout. The only sounds heard were the metallic sound of swords and guns clashing and the shouts of the two men. The two men fought with swords and guns for more than twenty years.
After a round, Gan Ning saw that he couldn't fight for a long time, and couldn't help but become anxious. However, Zhao Yun's marksmanship became faster and faster. Gan Ning's mind was confused, and gradually he could only parry, but had no power to fight back. Zhao Yun saw that his sword skills were scattered,
He used a flaw and let him slash in with a knife. Gan Ning finally found an opportunity, but he was willing to let it go, and he was fooled. Zhao Yun took advantage of him to kill him with a knife, and when he ran out of strength, he suddenly turned around, and the silver spear followed his knife.
The pole was twisted hard. Gan Ning could not draw the sword in time and could not hold it. With a "dang" sound, the sword flew out of his hand and fell to the ground. Gan Ning turned around to leave, but Zhao Yun had caught up with him, and the tip of the spear was pointed directly at his chest.
The throat, only a finger away, was fixed there for life.
Gan Ning let out a long sigh, loosened his fists, and gave up struggling. Zhao Yun also put away his gun, took a few steps back, and stood aside.
Liu Xin stepped forward slowly and said, "Gan Ning, what else do you have to say?"
Gan Ning said dejectedly: "Gan admits defeat. Everything will be borne by Gan alone. Please let my brothers go."
Liu Xin smiled and said: "You are so loyal! Liu likes people like this the most. We are in our line of work, oh, no, we are in your line of work. There is a rule that thieves do not cheat. Now that you are here
Don’t you want to take something back with you on this trip?”
