Just after Liu Xin had counted to three, Gan Ning jumped and jumped into the water, splashing a lot of water. He came out to be a pirate at the age of thirteen. He has been walking on the river for three years. He has excellent waterability. In addition, he is brave and bloodthirsty. The gentry and gentry around him are afraid of him and hear the name of Jinfan Thief , All conceded defeat and gave up gold and silver jewelry, few people dared to resist. It's been recent years. He brought his brothers this time to go home for the Spring Festival. He didn't want to meet Liu Xin's fleet on this river. He didn't even frighten them, so he had to accept Liu Xin's challenge in a hurry.
Gan Ning was in a small boat, and the bow was not far from the water. He jumped straight into the river with his head and feet, and the cold water made him shiver. Don't say that in these nine cold winters, even in late autumn, Gan Ning rarely goes into the water. After all, he has few opponents on the river, and there is no chance for him to fight. Therefore, he felt very uncomfortable when he got into the water this time, he floated on the water and took a breath, and then he slowly started to swim to the other side.
Liu Xin moved his body while counting, until Gan Ning swam three or five steps before he flipped and submerged in the water. Liu Xin has not undergone professional diving training, but has seen many athletes' movements on TV and knows some of the essentials of diving, so although he can't do any beautiful aerial movements, he doesn't know how to press water. But the posture of entering the water is much better than Gan Ning.
Zhao Yun, Wenpin and others were sweating on the boat. Their boat was originally far from the water. Liu Xin set off later than Ganning. When Liu Xin entered the water, Ganning had already swam out. More than ten steps.
Liu Xin plunged head down into the river. He did not immediately surface, but a fierce man went down more than three meters deep and dived forward. Liu Xin has his reason to do this. The water temperature under the river surface is higher than that on the river surface. Longer snorkeling time can make the body better adapt to this cold environment. At the same time, the resistance of snorkeling is also much smaller. Liu Xin dived more than 20 steps in one breath, and only then came to the surface.
Zhao Yun and Wenpin were worried when they saw Liu Xin entering the water for a long time on the boat and had not risen to the surface of the river. Suddenly seeing Liu Xin pop up, he was already half of Gan Ning's body, and suddenly cheered.
Liu Xin's original occupation also belongs to a high-risk industry. There is an important skill in this industry that must be practiced, that is, escape! Because no matter how smart a thief can miss, Liu Xin pays special attention to training in this area.
In order to be able to escape smoothly, in addition to the flexibility of the brain, it also needs 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 pre-designed route, so sometimes taking the waterway becomes a compelling choice, and there is another advantage of escaping from the waterway, that is, it can conceal the smell of the body. , Let the police dog lose the target. Therefore, Liu Xin has practiced both running and swimming for a long time.
Police catch thieves are not divided into seasons, so Liu Xin not only goes swimming in summer, but also winter swimming is also one of his regular exercises. Although Liu Xin had no chance to go winter swimming after arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the past two years in Hejian, the meditation skills he practiced can help him drive away the coldness from his body and can completely make up for the impact of insufficient training.
Gan Ning's water is indeed very good. If he is allowed to step on the water, take a big knife to fight on the surface of the river, or dive into the bottom of the river to fight underwater, Liu Xin is not his opponent. But now the two sides are comparing speed, which is not Gan Ning's strength, let alone in the cold winter. Gan Ning didn't swim very far. Since he hadn't moved his body beforehand, his physical strength was gradually weakened, and there was a sign of cramps in his legs, so he had to slow down.
And Liu Xin's swimming posture had been changed to freestyle at this time, with his strong arms paddling rhythmically, faster and faster, leaving Gan Ning far behind him.
On the boat upstairs, Zhao Yun personally beat the drums, and the soldiers shouted and cheered.
Liu Xin swam to the other side, turned around and swam back. Seeing that the general situation had passed, Gan Ning simply stopped, stepping on the water on the surface of the river, revealing half of his body. Liu Xin couldn't help but admire it secretly, Gan Ning was really good at water, and she was absolutely incomparable with the skill of stepping on water.
At this time, Wenpin had commanded the building boat to row over and put down the two cables. Liu Xin grabbed the rope with one hand, and a little bit, the whole person rose from the river, lightly landed on the bow, showing another beautiful hand.
Gan Ning was still floating on the surface of the river, letting the harsh wind of the river blow his body blue, and shouted: "I lost, but I don't accept it!"
Liu Xin said while rubbing her body, "Ganning, I would like to bet and lose. It is useless to say more. If you are a good guy, you can get on my boat."
Gan Ning gritted his teeth and grabbed the cable, and the soldiers hurriedly pulled him up.
A few soldiers rushed forward, and five or six steel knives were placed on Gan Ning's neck. Gan Ning's face was already blue with cold, but he was not afraid. The two school captains said flatly to Liu Xin: "Congratulations to the lord, the Jinfan thief has crossed the Yangtze River for many years. The government avoided it for fear. I didn't expect to be caught in front of the lord today."
Liu Xin glanced at them contemptuously, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't be rude, don't go back quickly!"
Gan Ning straightened up and said proudly: "Hmph, you don't have to be benevolent and righteous. Today I am willing to fall into your hands. I want to kill or cut, just listen to it!"
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Sure enough, he is a man. Gan Ning, you change your clothes first, and I will wait for you in the cabin."
Gan Ning changed into clean clothes and looked at the line of soldiers watching him coldly, without frowning, and walked into the cabin with his head raised. In the cabin, Liu Xin sat in the middle facing the cabin door, Zhao Yun and Wenpin sat on the sides. Gan Ning was not welcome, and sat down with a grin on the other side of Liu Xin.
Liu Xin raised his hand and motioned to the soldier at the door to pass Gan Ning a bowl of ginger soup, and slowly said: "Gan Ning, since you have conceded, what else can you disagree with? Let's talk about it. Why are you
Gan Ning took the ginger soup and drank it. There was a feeling of warmth on her body. Then she said angrily: "I am self-reliant, and I didn't expect to lose to you. If you do it with real swords and guns, you are not my opponent. ."
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Ganning, it's not that I despise you. If you talk about martial arts, you don't even have the qualifications to fight with me. If you want to challenge me, you must first defeat my seventh brother."
Gan Ning "Huo" stood up and said, "Where is your seventh brother, we will compare it now."
Zhao Yun said indifferently: "Jinfan Thief, you just tried a match. If I fight with you now, I won't be able to win. If you really want to compete, let you rest overnight, and tomorrow morning, I will share with you again. under."
Although Gan Ning is brave, he is not stupid. He has never met an opponent in his three years of debut. He 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 offer Come out and compare tomorrow, he couldn't ask for it, 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, this Ganning is still a loving and righteous person, and said: "Don't worry, they eat and drink, it's fine. If you win against my seventh brother tomorrow, I will let you walk, if you lose Now, don’t be fooled anymore, everything is up to my disposal."
Gan Ning patted his chest and said, "Okay, then it's a deal!"
When this happened, the fleet naturally couldn't move forward and had to camp on the shore. Gan Ning and his men were surrounded by soldiers, guarded by a group of soldiers, so Liu Xin didn't have to worry about what they might do.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning stood opposite each other in a clearing on the river bank.
Zhao Yun pointed the silver spear in his hand and said, "Ganning, if it's a horse war, if I bully you, let's fight on foot."
After hearing Zhao Yun's accent, Gan Ning knew that he was from the north, and he was sure of his kung fu right away, but he refused to forgive others, saying: "If you dare not fight, what if I let you!"
After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Yun's answer, Gan Ning Yiwu rushed up with the big sword in his hand. Zhao Yunliang's silver spear lightly tapped, holding the big sword, and the two fought together. The two sides have fought for more than fifty rounds. Gan Ning was bound to win today, and the sword went straight to Zhao Yun's vitals, and Zhao Yun got Liu Xin's order last night not to hurt his life, so he was a little tied up with his hands and feet, and they couldn't do it. The two actually fought evenly.
In order to convince Gan Ning to lose, Liu Xin did not allow the soldiers to beat their drums and shout. Only the choking metal sound of the intersecting knives and guns and the clamor of the two were heard at the scene. The two men fought with each other with swords and guns, and they fought for more than 20 rounds. Seeing that they couldn't fight for a long time, Gan Ning couldn't help becoming anxious. However, Zhao Yun's marksmanship is getting faster and faster, Gan Ning's mind is confused, and gradually there is no more power to fight back than to fight back. Zhao Yun saw that his swordsmanship was scattered and sold a flaw, so he let him in. Gan Ning finally found an opportunity, how he was willing to let it go, it was indeed fooled. Zhao Yun took advantage of his blasting to be old and exhausted his strength, suddenly turned around, and the silver spear squeezed hard against his blade. Gan Ning couldn't draw the knife in time, and couldn't hold it. With a "dang", the big knife had already taken off his hand and flew out and landed on the ground. Gan Ning turned around and wanted to leave, and was caught up by Zhao Yun a long time ago. The tip of the gun pointed directly at his throat, and he was still a finger away from where he was born.
Gan Ning let out a long sigh, released both fists, and gave up the struggle. Zhao Yun also put away his gun, stepped back and stood aside.
Liu Xin stepped forward slowly and said, "Ganning, what else do you have to say?"
Gan Ning said dejectedly: "Gan admits defeat, and that person will bear all things, and please let the adults let go of my brothers."
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Sure enough! Liu likes such a person the most. Those in our business, oh, no, they are in your business. There is a rule that thieves don’t go empty, since you are here. Don't you want to take something back this time?"
