    "Mu Hong, stay."

    Under the surveillance of Fang La's guards, Mu Hong and Li Jun were looking at Muzhou City as they were about to leave, but they heard someone chasing them from behind. They turned around and saw Fang Baihua chasing after them on horseback, and couldn't help but stop with great joy.

    Fang Baihua arrived and reined in his horse.

    Mu Hong said happily: "Princess, are you willing to go north with us?"

    Fang Baihua shook his 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 no choice but to take the letter, put it away close to his body, and said with his hands, "We will definitely deliver it to the princess."

    Fang Baihua clasped his fists and said, "Thank you both. Baihua still has military affairs, so I won't leave you two."

    "Farewell"

    When the two of them left the city gate, the Fang La guards who had been watching all the way withdrew.

    Mu Hong shook his head and said: "If we don't want to go through this journey in vain, let's get on the road quickly, lest the Western Army encircles Muzhou and we also suffer the same disaster."

    Li Jun nodded and said, "Maybe it's like what the prince said, it just depends on God's will."

    The two hurried all the way, and when they arrived at the junction of Muzhou and Shezhou, the Western Army had already blocked the road. Under the guidance of a Manichaean believer, the two jumped out of the Western Army encirclement from an unknown path.

    After leaving Shezhou, it felt like returning to the peaceful country.

    Li Jun said: "Brother, do you remember that I have a naked uncle?"

    Mu Hong smiled and said: "Who on the Xunyang River knows that Li Fu, the dragon horse in the sea, is very capable. Although I haven't seen him move around for many years, I have never forgotten his reputation as an old man."

    Li Jun nodded and said: "My uncle is getting older and has stopped going to the river these years. However, he has two apprentices and several Huo families. When doing good business on the river, he always has to show filial piety to his old man, so  Even if you don¡¯t do it yourself, you still have to eat and drink.¡±

    Mu Hong said: "Brother, do you want to go back to your hometown to visit relatives?"

    Li Jun nodded and said: "I haven't seen his old man since I went to Liangshan. I often miss him. It's just because there are troubles in the water village that I don't have a chance to go there, so I have been putting it off. I am going down to Jiangnan today.  I can¡¯t help but want to go back to my hometown to relieve this longing.¡±

    Mu Hong said with a smile: "Now that I have strong soldiers and horses, my brothers will surely enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. Why don't you take him to the north with you?"

    Li Jun shook his head and said: "When we went to Liangshan last year, I went to see my uncle and persuaded him to go together. But he was old and could live with it. If he no longer wanted to travel around, he would die in his hometown. I'm afraid he would still be there.  Reluctant to leave my hometown. We have been in Jiangnan for many days. Maybe the prince has already arrived in Tokyo, and I am afraid it is time for employment. If my brother doesn't go back first, I will go back to my hometown for a while. "

    Mu Hong smiled and said: "It only takes two days to return to my hometown. I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time, so I'll go with you for a walk."

    The two of them decided on their plan and took the road to Jieyang Town.

    Mu Hong and Chao Yong and others previously robbed Jiangzhou, and then the news was exposed in Jieyang Town. Now Daliang has rebelled again.  They did not dare to go into the town, so they could only take a detour to Jieyang Ridge.

    Walking past the foot of the ridge, I saw the thatched cottage where Li Li used to sell wine. It had been exposed to wind and rain for a long time and was in dilapidated condition.

    The scenery of the mountains remains the same, but the personnel changes drastically. Returning to the old place brings another sigh.

    The two of them stood outside Li Li's Hotel for a moment, then walked away, arriving early at Li Fu's residence.

    When he looked up, Li Jun couldn't help but be shocked. He saw that the thatched house where Li Fu lived was tilted this way and that, the walls collapsed, and the front door was covered with weeds. It didn't look like it was inhabited.

    There used to be thirty or twenty households here, and most of them were engaged in fishing. Now all those thatched houses have collapsed, leaving some traces of the calamity fire, and most of them have turned into a piece of white land.

    Li Jun looked at it and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Uncle, don't worry about anything."

    Mu Hong looked at the situation clearly and saw that the nearby houses were like this, and comforted him: "It's not that your uncle was in trouble, maybe they moved the whole village."

    Li Jun nodded and said, "Yes, let's find a nearby house and ask."

    The two of them walked around for a while, but didn't meet anyone.

    When Li Jun was anxious, he saw smoke rising faintly from the northwest corner in the distance, and he was surprised again.

    In the past, there were only families in Huanglinfen, and there were no other people there. There was no village smoke.

    Li Jun and Mu Hong rushed there with confusion.

    After walking for more than two miles, we arrived at the end of the road.

    When Li Jun took a look, he saw that it was indeed a village. The area was full of bamboo fenced thatched cottages, with no less than thirty or twenty households. Those houses looked very new, and it seemed that they had not been built recently.

    Now the two people walked into the village, but saw Linliu planting trees., weaving a fence around the house, the sound of roosters crowing and dogs barking could be heard, and there were several barefoot men gathering fishing nets by the fence.

    Li Jun saw a big man among them. He had a bun on his head, was wearing cloth clothes, and had bare feet. He looked familiar.

    Li Jun felt that he couldn't see clearly from a distance, so he simply walked closer. When they were ten steps away from each other, the big man happened to turn around and the two met each other.

    The big man also recognized Li Jun and called out: "Brother Li." He bowed his head and bowed.

    Li Jun quickly helped him up, and when he looked at his face again, it was Zhu Xiaoba, one of his uncle's apprentices. He couldn't help asking: "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 he sighed: "Brother Li, it's a long story. It's rare to see us together today. Please go down to the house and tell me in detail."

    Li Jun saw that there were many people here, so he also said: "Okay!"

    Zhu Xiaoba ordered several Huo family members to close the net and lead Li Jun home.

    The two of them arrived at Xiaoba's home and saw that it was a newly built three-to-five-room thatched house with trees in front of the door and a fence beside the house. It was a good place.

    Xiaoba asked the two of them to sit down. His wife came out to pay her respects and drank tea.

    Li Jun shouted: "We are not distinguished guests. We are in trouble. If you have wine, just take it out and eat it."

    Xiao Ba then asked his wife to go to the kitchen to kill a chicken, cook some fresh fish, and get a large bucket of home-brewed white wine. He then set up a table in the room, moved a few benches, placed the wine bucket next to the table, and placed some  After placing the chicken, fish and dishes, Li and Jun were invited to sit at a table each.

    Xiao Ba said: "Brother Li, brothers from the old days, you know that we are not gentle people. We can be happy and don't be formal. This bucket is placed by the table. When you want to drink, you can scoop it out yourself. Today we must  Eat until you¡¯re full.¡±

    Li Jun felt a little hungry and thirsty after walking all the way. After eating two or three bowls of wine, he couldn't help but said: "Xiaoba, where did my uncle go?"

    Xiaoba immediately shed two lines of tears, wiped his eyes with one hand, and responded: "Brother Li, if you mention my master, he has already passed away, and now"

    Li Jun stood up and shouted: "Really? We haven't seen each other for a year. How can we not be sad if we can't see each other again!" After that, he stepped on the bench with one foot, pressed the edge of the table with both hands, and raised his head.  Send a message.

    Mu Hong saw the sadness and anger on Xiao Ba's face and felt that something was fishy. He patted Li Jun on the arm and said, "Brother, don't be sad just yet. Let me ask Xiao Ba, how did the old man die?"

    Li Jun suddenly said: "It seems so, Xiaoba, please tell me."

    Then he sat down again, without eating any wine, and just listened to Zhu Xiaoba's talk.

    It turns out that Li Fu died last winter.  During last year's Double Ninth Festival, there was heavy wind and rain for several days. It was impossible to sail on the river and everyone was trapped in the house. His apprentice, Kun Yugui, was the same as the diver Zhu Xiaoba, who only drank wine every day.  .

    The weather turned fine that day, and Yu Gui was overjoyed, so he led the Huo family and sailed two boats to the river to catch up on business. He happened to bump into a large official ship sailing across the river.

    This is an official who left office and returned home. The boat was full of boxes and cages, and there was plenty of oil and water.

    Yu Gui had never been to the river due to heavy wind and rain for several days. He didn't catch a single fish, and he lost money selling smuggled salt. He was suffering so much that he had nothing to say. It was rare that he came across a licensed product when he came out today. He made a good profit, which was enough to help him.  How can I miss it in person if I have it for a few months?

    At that time, he didn¡¯t even ask him what kind of ship he was. He just blew a whistle, grabbed the big ship, plundered it, and then set sail and left.

    Not far from Guizhou, a boat was chasing after him. A man jumped out from the bow of the boat, claiming to be Zhang Kui of Xiaogushan. He claimed that he was the one who drove down this illegal business and wanted to divide the property in half.  Divide equally.

    Yu Gui didn't agree at the moment. He said that he was rushing to buy and sell in the river, and everyone had a little luck. Whoever bumped into him would belong to him, and they couldn't be divided equally.

    Zhang Kuiqiang wanted to take half of it, but Yu Gui refused and said: "We are both Jianghu masters, so we don't want to hurt our friendship. We all look bad, so I will give you ten taels of silver to help bring good luck. Take it if you want, don't  Just rest.¡±

    Zhang Kui didn¡¯t want to. You talked to each other, each refused to give in, and fought for some action. Fortunately, everyone on both sides persuaded him to stop.

    Zhang Kui said to Gui: "I know you personally. You are Li Fu's apprentice. You dare to act in Hong Kong and take advantage of other people's ready-made businesses. You are a good man. I must not let you take advantage of me. Sooner or later, there will be retribution!"

    After saying that, he sailed away angrily.

    When Yu Gui returned to the boat, he rushed to his master Li Fu and reported the matter in detail, saying how rude Zhang Kui was.

    Li Fudao said: "I have been doing business by the Xunyang River for decades. Who didn't know about the trouble in the sea? It's Li Fu who lives by the Jieyang Mountains. Who dares to mess with me? I am not afraid of heaven and earth.  Not afraid, not afraid of anything, that is Zhao GuanEven though I'm here in person, I won't give him a cent.  In the past few years, I have stopped working due to my old age. Batu has been a dead man and has only asked you to prepare some ready-made food to eat. This has made my nephews Li Jun and Li Li famous, and they have become the hegemons of Jieyang Ridge.  Ever since my nephew went to Liangshanbo, the brothers from the Zhang family and the Mu family have all gone, and the three tyrants here have all disappeared. Why did Zhang Kuilai pop up and dare to tease others? I must have never seen such a person!  "

    Yu Gui was not as courageous as Li Fu, and said: "Zhang Kui has a tough tone, saying that there will be retribution sooner or later, I'm afraid he won't give up."

    Li Fudao: "My child, I'm very scared. I've been over seventy years old this year and have never met a powerful opponent. My nature is to like this kind of people the most. The more fierce they are, the less afraid I am. I won't even have a penny."  Give it to him and see how he does?"

    Li Fu saw that Yu Gui was still a little timid, so he said: "Don't be discouraged, just go to the river to take advantage of it. If anyone comes to find trouble, report it quickly and I will take care of it myself."

    When he said this, Zhu Xiaoba was also beside him. When Yu Gui heard that his master was willing to help, he no longer took Zhang Kui seriously.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
