Drunk Immortal Gourd

Behind the two of them was the stern-looking strong man, Lao Liang. As the only bodyguard around the master, he needed to protect the master's safety at any time, so he never relaxed. At the stern was the boatman, who was responsible for rowing the boat, and there was plenty of space around him.

Because of the previous conflict, Qingyang and the four masters and servants had nothing to say, and the boatman seemed to be a man of few words. The river was quiet, with only the occasional laughter of a woman.

The boat was moving slowly in the river, perhaps because of the delay when boarding the boat just now, or perhaps because the overload speed was very slow. Before they knew it, it had darkened.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, the boat had not reached the center of the river. Qingyang sat at the bow and could only see the scenery within a range of one or two feet, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker.

Suddenly, the boat shook, and the boatman at the stern exclaimed, "Oh no, the boat seems to be leaking, what can I do?"

The boat is leaking? How can the boat leak? This is the middle of the Jinsha River. The width of the Jinsha River is hundreds of feet, and the distance between the two banks is at least two or three hundred feet. Ordinary people can't swim across. If there is a problem with the boat, people will die.

Thinking of the consequences, Master Yang was stunned. The long-faced servant was also trembling with fear. The little maid had some reaction, but she could only scream. As for the bodyguard Lao Liang, it seemed that he was just a show-off. Faced with such an emergency, he was at a loss for a moment and could only stand beside the master to protect his safety temporarily.

Unlike the reaction of the master and servants, Qingyang was a little confused at this time. This string of boats did not leak water early or late, but it had problems when it was in the middle of the river. This was a bit of a coincidence. Could it be a black ship? In the early years of traveling in the rivers and lakes, the master once said that the boat owners should be killed even if they were innocent. This boat owner might have a problem.

Thinking of this, Qingyang immediately looked at the boatman, but the boatman said, "The boat is leaking. This is my livelihood. What if the boat sinks? You wait, I'll go into the water to see if I can stop the leak."

The boatman turned over and jumped into the water. Qingyang wanted to catch the boatman to ask him about it, but unfortunately the boatman moved too fast. The four masters and servants between them affected their actions. When Qingyang was ready to make a move, the man had already entered the water.

In a blink of an eye, there were only five of them left on the boat, and the bottom of the boat was constantly bubbling water. It seemed that it would not last long. In this situation, the four masters and servants were completely helpless. Qingyang had a lot of strength, but he couldn't use it. In desperation, Qingyang had to say loudly, "Whose friend is it in the river? Can you show up?"

As soon as Qingyang finished speaking, two heads floated on the river not far away. One of them was recognized by them. He was the boatman who had just jumped into the river. The other one had dark skin and a sharp face. Seeing Qingyang, the dark-skinned man said, "So there are fellows on the boat. I'm so sorry. Who else would be on the Jinsha River besides our Jinsha Gang?"

"So you are a fellow from the Jinsha Gang. What's your name?" Qingyang said with a bow.

The dark-skinned man said, "I am Ni Qiurong, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Jinsha Gang. People in the world call me the Loach in the Waves."

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Qingyang clasped his fists and said, "So it's Master Ni. I've heard of your name for a long time. I am Qingyang from Xiping Prefecture. I passed by your place but never visited you. Master Ni, can you let us go for the sake of being fellows in the world?"

The Loach in the Waves shook his head and said, "If it were usual, it would be okay to let you go, but this time it's impossible. We have been eyeing the big fish next to you for a long time. , he has a lot of power in the government. If any news leaks out, our Shahe Gang will be in great trouble. So this operation cannot afford to fail, and we can only offend him. "

The boatman next to him also joked: "I found an excuse to let you get off the boat at that time, but you are looking for death and insist on getting into the trap. Who can you blame? Don't be so reckless in your next life, hahaha..."

After all this time, I was actually implicated by these four masters and servants. If I had known earlier, I would not have fought for that breath. It would be too worthless to lose my life for a breath.

If it were on land, Qingyang would have an absolute confidence to defeat the opponent, but it was hard to say on the river. Although Qingyang can swim, it is good for him to exert 30% to 40% of his strength while swimming. The Jinsha Gang and others are obviously making a living on the water. Their skills on the water must be very powerful. With the increase and decrease of one, I might be in trouble this time.

Qingyang was still considering countermeasures. At this time, the four masters and servants on the boat also heard that these people in the river were specially here to deal with them. This Master Yang is from Kaiyuan Prefecture. Unlike Qingyang, he is from another place. He has heard a lot about the Jinsha Gang and knows how strong the Jinsha Gang is. He also knows how cruel these people are to fat sheep.

The bodyguard Lao Liang that Master Yang brought with him only knows some farming skills. He can't compare with the famous Jinsha Gang in the world. Resistance will only lead to death. Master Yang suddenly shuddered, knelt on the boat with a plop and said: "My king, please spare my life, my king, please spare my life, I can give you anything you want, I just ask you to spare my life."

The loach in the waves was sure of winning, and was not afraid that the other party would know his true identity, so he simply said: "Mr. Yang, right? I heard that your sister is the concubine of the Prime Minister of Kaiyuan Prefecture. This time she went out and bought it with your two years of savings. A treasure, prepared to please the superiors, so as to fill the vacancy of the palace master. Naturally, we came here for the treasure you bought. If I let you go, I am afraid that the master of the palace will not be able to spare me from the Sands Gang. "

The position of the Palace Master of Kaiyuan Mansion was vacant. As the second-in-command of Kaiyuan Mansion, Mr. Fu Cheng was naturally determined to win the position of Palace Master, but the superiors had not yet decided, so Fucheng entrusted Mr. Yang, his elder brother-in-law, to manage the two families. I brought all my savings over the years and bought a treasure, ready to be presented to the adults above who could make the decision.

There is no room for failure in this matter. If something unexpected happens, not only will there be no hope for the position of palace master, but the family's savings will also be depleted, and they will have a hard life in the future. This is nothing. What is surprising is how a Jianghu gang knew this secret matter so clearly. The expression on Mr. Yang's face changed and he said: "You...how do you know?"

"How do I know? Do you think I will tell you?" said the loach in the waves.

Compared to the treasures, Mr. Yang still valued his own life more. Seeing that the things could not be saved, he could only do the next best thing and save his own life first. As long as he can return to Kaiyuan Mansion safely and rely on the power of Master Fu Cheng, he can still get the things back.
