Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh troubled sea dragon horse
"Mu Hong, stay."
Mu Hong and Li Jun were under the surveillance of Fang La's guards and looked at Muzhou City that was about to leave. However, they heard someone chasing him from behind. They turned around and saw that Fang Baihua was chasing him on a horse. They stopped happily.
Fang Baihua arrived and strangled the horse.
Mu Hongxi said: "Is the princess willing to go north with us?"
Fang Baihua shook her head and said, "I wrote a letter to Brother Yong, please take it back."
Mu Hong heard that Fang Baihua was still unwilling to leave, so he had to take the letter, hold it in person, and bowed, saying, "We will definitely deliver it to the princess."
Fang Baihua clasped her fists and said, "I'm working hard for you, Baihua still has military affairs, so I won't leave you."
"Farewell"
The two of them left the city gate, and the guards Fang La who were monitoring the whole way back.
Mu Hong shook his head and said, "I don't want to go there in vain. Let's go on the road quickly, so as not to encircle Muzhou by the Western Army and we will also be in trouble."
Li Jun nodded and said, "Maybe what the prince said is just like, it depends on God's will."
The two rushed all the way. When they arrived at the junction of Muzhou and Shezhou, the Western Army had blocked the road. They were still under the guidance of a Manichaeist, and they jumped out of the Western Army's encirclement from an unknown path.
After leaving Shezhou, it seemed like returning to Taiping Kingdom.
Li Jun said: "Brother, do you remember that I have a naked uncle?"
Mu Hong smiled and said, "Who doesn't know the dragon horse on Xunyang River is a good skill. Although I haven't seen him walk around for many years, I have never forgotten his reputation."
Li Jun nodded and said, "My uncle is old and has never been to the river for many years. However, he has two apprentices and several Huo families. When doing good business on the river, he often has to respect him, so he doesn't do it himself and has to eat and drink."
Mu Hongdao: "Do you brother want to go back to your hometown to visit relatives?"
Li Jun nodded and said, "Since I went to Liangshan, I have never seen him. I missed him often. I didn't have the opportunity to go there and I have been delayed. Today, I was leaving Jiangnan, so I couldn't help but want to go back to my hometown and let it go."
Mu Hong smiled and said, "Now my Daliang is strong and powerful, my brothers will definitely enjoy endless wealth and honor in the future. Why don't you take him north?"
Li Jun shook his head and said, "When we went to Liangshan last year, I went to see my uncle and advised him to go together. However, he was old and had to live by. If he didn't want to run around, he would die in his hometown even if he died. I was afraid he would still refuse to leave his hometown. I have been going to Jiangnan for many days. Maybe the prince has already obtained Tokyo, and it is probably the time to use people. My brother might go back first. I'll go back home and go back."
Mu Hong smiled and said, "It's only been two days since I returned home. I haven't returned home for a long time, so I'll go with you."
The two of them had decided to go to Jieyang Town after the plan.
Mu Hong and Chao Yong and others had robbed Jiangzhou before, so they exposed the news in Jieyang Town. Now Daliang has rebelled again. They dared not go to the town, so they could only take a detour to Jieyangling.
Walking past the foot of the ridge, I saw that the thatched house where Li Li used to sell wine was poured out by the wind and rain for a long time.
The scenery of the mountains is still there, the personnel changes greatly, and the old place is coming again, and there is another sigh.
The two stood outside Li Li's hotel for a while, walked away, and arrived at the place where Li Fu lived early.
When he looked up, Li Jun was shocked, but he saw that the thatched house where Li Fu lived was tilted, the walls collapsed, and the door was covered with weeds, so it looked like someone living there.
In the past, there were thirty or twenty families here, most of whom were fishing for their jobs. Now all thatched houses have collapsed, leaving some traces of disasters and fire, and most of them have turned into white land.
Li Jun saw it and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, don't have anything to do."
Mu Hong, bystander Qing, looked at the people nearby, and comforted him: "It's not that your uncle has suffered a disaster, maybe they may have moved the village."
Li Jun nodded and said, "Yes, let's find someone nearby to ask."
The two of them walked around for a while, but they didn't meet a single person.
Li Jun was anxious, but he saw smoke rising from the northwest corner in the distance, and he became surprised again.
In the past, there were only Huanglin Fen family, but there was no one else's house, so there was no smoke from the village.
Li Jun and Mu Hong rushed there with wonder.
After walking about two miles, I arrived at the place.
When Li Jun saw it, it was indeed a village. There were bamboo fences and thatched huts in the area, with less than 30 or twenty households. The houses looked very new and seemed to have been built for a short time.
At that moment, the two of them walked into the village, but they saw the trees planted by the river, weaving fences around the house, and the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking fell. Several barefoot men were cleaning up the fishing nets by the fence.
Li Jun saw a few big men, wearing a cloth dress, naked feet, looking familiar.
Li Jun felt that he couldn't see clearly from afar, so he walked closer and walked to a point where he was ten steps apart from each other. The big man happened to turn around and meet the two.
The big man also recognized Li Jun and shouted, "Brother Li." He bowed.
Li Jun quickly helped him up, and when he looked at his face again, it was a disciple of his uncle's Shuixi Zhu Xiaoba, and he couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoba, how did you move here? Do you know where my uncle has gone?"
A trace of sadness flashed across Zhu Xiaoba's face and sighed: "Brother Li, it's a long time to speak. It's rare to see you today. Please come to the house to inform you in detail."
Seeing that there were many people here, Li Jun also said, "Okay!"
Zhu Xiaoba ordered a few Huo family to close the Internet and lead Li Jun and the other two to the house.
When the two arrived at Xiaoba's house, they saw three or five newly built thatched houses, with trees in front of the door and fences by the house, and the place was better.
Xiao Ba asked the two of them to sit down, and his wife came out to pay homage to her and shouted tea.
Li Jun shouted: "We are not distinguished guests, so we have some trouble. If you have wine, just take it out and eat it."
Xiao Ba asked his wife to go to the kitchen to kill chickens, cooked a few fresh fish, and made a large bucket of home-made white wine. He then set up a table in the house, moved a few benches, placed the barrels next to the table, and placed chicken, fish dishes on the table, leading Li Jun and the other two to occupy a table to sit.
Xiao Ba said: "Brother Li, brothers in the past, you know, I know, everyone is not a gentleman, so I can just be willing to do it without being restrained. I put this bucket by the table and scoop it by myself when I want to eat wine. Today we must have a full meal."
Li Jun walked all the way and was a little hungry. After eating two or three bowls of wine, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Ba, where is my uncle?"
Xiao Ba suddenly shed two lines of tears, wiped his eyes with one hand, and replied: "Brother Li, if he mentioned my master, he had already died, and he still......"
Li Jun stood up and shouted, "Really? I haven't seen each other for a year. I don't want to see each other anymore. Why don't you feel sad?" After that, he stepped on the bench with one foot, pressed his hands on the edge of the table, raised his head and said nothing.
But Mu Hong saw that Xiao Ba looked sad and angry, and felt something was wrong, so he patted Li Jun's arm and said, "Brother, don't be sad for the time being, let's ask the little brother, how did the old man die?"
Li Jun suddenly said, "It's also true, Xiao Ba, come on."
Then he walked again and sat down, without eating wine, and only heard Zhu Xiaoba talk.
It turned out that Li Fu died last winter. On the Double Ninth Festival last year, there were heavy storms and rains for several days. The river was not allowed to sail, and everyone was trapped in the house. His apprentice dived Kun Yugui, and the same was true for Zhu Xiaoba, who used wine to entertain each day.
The weather was sunny that day, Yu Gui was very happy and led the Huo family to drive two boats to the river to get a deal. He happened to run into a large official boat and was driving across from the other side.
This is an official who stepped down and returned to his hometown. The boat was filled with boxes and there was plenty of oil and water.
Yu Gui has not been to the river due to the heavy storm for several days. He didn't catch a fish and sold private salt and lost his money. He was so bitter that he didn't say anything. It was rare that he ran into a licensed product when he came out today. He was able to make a profit market and provide a few months of food and use. How could he miss it in person?
At that time, he didn't ask him what kind of ship he was, so he called a whistle, snatched up the big ship, snatched his hands, and set off his sail and left.
Yu Gui was not far away, but he didn't expect a boat to chase him from behind. A man jumped out of the bow of the boat. He claimed that he had just rushed down the car and wanted to divide half of the property in the boat evenly.
Yu Gui was not willing to respond at the moment. He replied that he would rush to buy and sell in the river and each had some luck. Whoever ran into it would belong to him, and he could not evenly divide it.
Zhang Kuiqiang wanted to take half of it, but Yu Gui refused and said, "We are both from the world, so we can avoid being hurt and kind. Everyone has a bad face. I will give you ten taels of silver to help you have a good fortune. If you want it, take it, and if you don't want it, go."
Zhang Kui didn't want it, and he said nothing, and he refused to give in. Fortunately, everyone on both sides persuaded him to stop.
Zhang Kui said to Gui: "I know you. You are Li Fu's apprentice. You dare to act in Hong Kong and take advantage of others' ready-made transactions. You are a good man. You must not let you go to the end. Sooner or later you will have a retribution!"
After saying that, he drove away in disappointment.
Yu Gui returned to the boat and rushed to his master Li Fu's place to tell him the matter in detail, telling him how rude Zhang Kui was.
Li Fu said: "I have been doing business on the Xunyang River for decades. Who didn't know how to make trouble for the sea? Even Li Fu on the side of Jieyang Ridge, who dared to mess with me? I am not afraid of heaven, earth, and nothing. Even if Zhao Guan's family has come here in person, I will not let him a penny. In the past few years, I have become old and wash my hands. Batu is so sad that I only let you get some ready-made food. I made my nephew Li Jun and Li Li famous and made a domineer in Jieyang Ridge. Since my nephew went to Liangshanpo, the Zhang brothers and the Mu brothers all went, and the three dominions here were gone. Why did Zhang Kui come out? I dare to tease others? I must have never seen such a person!"
Yu Gui didn't have the courage of Li Fu and said, "Zhang Kui said that he would have a retribution sooner or later, and he would probably not give up."
Li Fu said: "Children, I'm so afraid. I've lived in my seventies this year and have never met a powerful opponent. My nature is the most popular of people. The more violent I'm the less afraid I'm, I'm just not giving him a penny. How about it?"
Seeing that Yu Gui was still a little courageous, Li Fu said, "Don't be discouraged, go to the river to fight. If anyone is coming to find out the right and wrong, please report it to me and I will take care of it myself."
When he said this, Zhu Xiaoba was also next to him. After hearing that his master was willing to help, Yu Gui no longer took Zhang Kui seriously. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy for Bing, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
