After surviving the ravages of the cold winter, withering and decay, the reeds emerged from the lake, and strong and tender bamboo shoots sprouted, symbolizing the arrival of new life ¤·0.
The lake surface that was opened by a boat not long ago was about to return to calm. Two naked heads quietly emerged from the reeds. If you look carefully, you will find that these two young people were the same ones last night. Zhang Rong and Jia Hu became sworn brothers in a thatched hut.
¡°My mother, it¡¯s really, really cold!¡±
Jia Hu, whose face turned purple from the cold, struggled to spit out a mouthful of muddy water. He looked at Zhang Rong, whose face became more determined, and wondered: "Boss, how come you are not afraid of the cold?"
"There is no one in this world who is not afraid of the cold!" Zhang Rong took a breath at his already somewhat blocked nasal cavity, "Only those who can bear it!"
Counting so far, the two brothers launched into the water and followed the fishing boat in front for at least three to five miles. In fact, for children who grew up in a fishing village, this distance is nothing. The key is that the bitterly cold lake water had a huge side effect. At this time, Jia Hu could already feel that the blood in his body was almost freezing.
"Brother, you said wait a minute, we encountered these two weirdos committing murder, should we go forward to fight them, or should we go to Jeju Mansion to inform Mr. Huang"
Zhang Rong found that Jia Hu was stammering from the cold, with a look of concern on his face: "Tiger, why don't you go back the same way and ask the second brother to come and take your place?"
"Brother, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, look down upon, look down upon. Let¡¯s talk about business!¡± Jia Hu finished. Without warning, the whole person sank to the bottom of the lake, just when Zhang Rong was helpless. After a while, he jumped out again, causing a large splash of water, and then raised his arms in front of the sworn brother in anger.
"Okay, okay, don't bother anymore! Save some strength, maybe you will need it later!" Zhang Rong hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Jia Hu, fearing that he would cause trouble again. Attracts the attention of the person being tracked.
"Is there really something wrong with these two things?" I might take action later. Jia Hu became excited, "We really did it ourselves? Didn't we notify the Liangshan army stationed in Jeju?"
The fishing village where these four brothers live is located near the southwest corner of Babaili Water Park and belongs to Juye County. At this time, it is much closer to Jeju City than Yangshan Island, so Jia Hu asked this question.
"Huang Xianggong is a surrendered general from the imperial court. He is not an old man from a village. I dare not say whether he is reliable. Even if Huang Xianggong is really of the same mind as brother Wang Lun. Now that the army of the imperial court is approaching step by step, does he have the ability to take care of us? It¡¯s not easy to talk about things!¡± If Zheng Zhe is the most conservative among the four brothers, then Zhang Rong is undoubtedly the most cautious. Zheng Zhe's conservatism is to passively defend the situation. Zhang Rong's caution is to be cautious while making progress.
"I've only killed fish, and I haven't killed anyone yet!" The young man had an embarrassed expression on his face. Although his strong body gave him the power to kill people, he couldn't find a trace of blood in his body. Murderous intention.
"Who asked you to kill someone? Catch him, tie him up, knock him unconscious. It's all done!" Zhang Rong glanced at the brother who quickly entered the state, and was already a little speechless.
"Hey, I thought" Jia Hu bumped into the knife tied to Zhang Rong's waistband in embarrassment and smiled innocently.
"Stop talking, there is movement on the desert island!" Zhang Rong had sharp eyes and pulled Jia Hu into the reeds.
The two quietly hid in the reed swamp. After a while, they saw the fishing boat they were following turning back. A man on the boat cursed: "You thief, who stole the master's knife again!?"
The other one said in fear: "Isn't it because I have seen a ghost? I deliberately put it on the boat early today, but why can't I find it again? Isn't it the ghosts of these guys came to find me?"
"What the hell is going on? Nowadays, evil people are in power in the world, but no one is getting retribution! I will sleep on the boat tonight with a hatchet, let's see who dares to steal it!"
"Brother, do you think the monkeys in the village came and touched me?"
"It's probably them! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that we met these guys at the mouth of the water as soon as we got out of the boat?"
"Aye! What if they go to Jeju to surrender?"
"Why are you reporting on us! Hiding a wrist-breaking knife? It's a joke, even the imperial court is not so strict! Besides, the imperial soldiers are coming soon, and the traitorous general of Jeju Prefecture has no time to care about such trivial matters like ours. ? I don¡¯t know how long I can carry my head on my shoulders!¡±
"That's true! Brother is wise! I think it's better to take advantage of today's free time to find a few more talented people. Even if we don't expect rewards from the court, the gold and silver we collected from the corpses will be enough to make us happy. year!¡±
"Forget it, let the showJust leave the whole corpse for one more day! "
The two brothers couldn't help but go far as they walked and paddled. Zhang Rong and Jia Hu showed their heads. Jia Hu said in horror: "We usually just dislike these two, but we didn't expect them to commit such a heinous crime." ! Brother, how did you know there was shit on them?"
At this time, Zhang Rong was not at all proud of guessing the cause. Instead, his face was filled with self-blame and frustration. He calmed down for a while, and then said with a regretful tone:
"When these two people came to Qizhou to seek refuge, our village saw that they were pitiful and took them in to live here. As a result, these two brothers mysteriously left early and came back late every day, and did not interact with us. At that time, I just felt It was a bit strange. Until one day not long ago, I smelled a pungent smell of blood on their boat. If you thought I was born in a pile of fish, I could still tell the smell of fish blood. I was careful at that time. It's a pity that I never caught their painful feet. I didn't expect that this negligence actually cost the lives of several heroes. It's all my fault, Zhang Rong!"
It is said that men will not shed tears easily. Zhang Rong's eyes were already red at this time. The thought of not being able to save the lives of several heroes because of his carelessness was really a feeling for this young man who was determined to go to the mountains to gather for justice. It's hard to put into words.
"Brother, don't be sorry! Let's go back and kill these two thieves and avenge the heroes who went up the mountain!" Seeing Zhang Rong's remorseful expression, Jia Hu couldn't help being infected and said angrily.
"etc!"
Zhang Rong grabbed the indignant Jia Hu, touched his face randomly, and told him: "Don't mess up, since these two dare to do such evil things, they must have some tricks. Go back and tell the second and fourth sons first , we have to prepare for the worst. I will go to this desert island to collect the corpses of the heroes. Then we four brothers will meet here and settle the accounts with Jia Zhongjiayi! "
Jia Hu listened to Zhang Rong's words very much. He didn't say anything after hearing the words. He immediately nodded in agreement and immediately plunged into the water. Zhang Rong gritted his teeth and swam hard towards the desert island.

In the magnificent Jinluan Hall, the majestic Daojun Emperor sat on the dragon chair, with hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides. There was only a sound of ascending to the court, and all the officials worshiped. Only one person stood in front of the palace in a daze, Daojun Emperor. Long Yan said displeasedly: "Why don't you worship that scholar?"
Only then did the scholar come back to his senses. When he saw that he was an official, he was so sad that he couldn't help crying. When Emperor Daojun saw this, he said: "Stop crying. I'm here to ask you, who are you?" Who is he and what is his current position?¡±
When the scholar heard the holy edict, he didn't bother to wipe away the tears on his face and cried out sadly: "Your Majesty, I am the chief registrar of Guichi County in Chizhou on Jiangnan East Road"
Before the scholar could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Daojun. Long Yan was furious, "You are the traitor Wang Lun's traitor named to save!? For this reason, he did not hesitate to fight with the Ming Jiao Sect's traitor. You should Am I deaf or blind in Tokyo?¡±
Long Yan was furious, it was no small matter. The scholar was dripping with cold sweat and defended loudly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is wronged! Although Wei Chen was born in Shandong, he never knew Wang Lun, the leader of the thieves? I don't think Wei Chen went to Guichi County in the first place. A month later, Fang La's bandits broke into the city, and then Wang Lun spread the news all over the world that "you want to see people alive, but you want to see corpses when dead", but Weichen didn't know Wang Lun before! After thinking about it, why did the traitor Wang Lun want to harm me like this?"
"Tell me, since Wang Lun and the traitor don't know you, why are they searching for you all over the world?" The emperor is always kind and can at least allow the guilty minister to speak.
"The guilty minister dare not criticize his colleagues, but one thing has to be reported to Your Majesty. The traitor Wang Lun is looking for the chief registrar of Guichi County, and the chief registrar of Guichi County a month ago was not the guilty minister!" The scholar said with a smile on his face. Hard way.
"Forget it, since Wang Lun is not looking for you, why are you working as a thief in Liangshan right now! How do you explain this!" Emperor Daojun on the dragon throne suddenly sneered.
"The guilty minister risked his life to break into the thief's lair, firstly to wash away his unjust injustice, and secondly to spy on the secrets of the thief and bandits for the imperial court! If your Majesty does not believe what the guilty minister said, you can ask Wang Qing, the magistrate of Huazhou, to testify on his behalf. !" The scholar knelt down and begged.
"Where is Wang Qing?" Emperor Daojun said majestically.
The scholar was also looking around, trying to find Wang Qing among the civil servants in the palace to testify, but it was difficult to find him. It¡¯s true that enemies don¡¯t get together, things that should come don¡¯t come, and things that shouldn¡¯t come do come. At this time, two fishermen entered the palace with a ferocious smile. They knelt in front of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that this person is a Liangshan bandit. He admitted it when he got on the boat, and then claimed to be Wang Lun's confidant! We are waiting for him to pretend to be dead." I was so fooled that I almost couldn¡¯t report to His Majesty!¡±
"If, as you said, you care about the court, why don't you reveal your identity to Jia Zhong and Jia Yi!?" The emperor's tone was cold, cold enough to chill the hearts of loyal people.
"I'm not a thief!I didn't surrender the thief! Although the guilty minister had no choice but to pretend to be dead, the real reason was that he did not know that the fisherman was sent by His Majesty. How unjust! "The scholar began to defend himself heartbreakingly. This move made the civil and military officials around him burst into laughter, but no one was willing to speak on his behalf. The scholar was heartbroken. He didn't understand why he was in this situation.
At this moment, the majestic voice of Emperor Daojun sounded again: "The facts are all there, and you still dare to argue!? Where are the golden-armored guards? Send this traitor to Dali Temple for questioning!"
The further back he went, the more blurry the face of Emperor Daojun became. The scholar felt that his body was falling into the infinite abyss. He tried hard to open his eyes, but felt that all the strength in his body was not enough to open the thin layer. eyelids.
Perhaps, he will continue to sleep like this in this nightmare that he will never wake up from. (To be continued.)
