Chapter 58

Views:

Shu Changfeng reconciled in the middle: "Master is afraid that the master will not wake up from a hangover, so... I followed." He himself felt that this excuse was a bit lousy.

Qiu Ying was still the gentle and shy young man from before, and asked Bai Shiqi for help: "Who is this?"

Bai Shiqi: "This is Zhao Ziheng's cousin, just call him the eldest son."

No matter how old this King Zhou is, it's not wrong to call him the eldest son from Zhao Ziheng anyway.

"Eldest son, please take a seat." There were outsiders, Qiu Ying got dressed, and called for the abacus to come in and make tea.

Abacus lowered his eyebrows and came in to make tea, and quietly stood behind Qiu Ying, looking like he was loyal to the Lord. The teasing Bai Shiqi was amused: "Abacus, are you going to fight?" Body, who can stop a blow?

"...No one can bully my son!" Abacus blushed and stood behind Qiu Ying.

"Okay, let's go. With me here, no one will bully your son." Bai Shiqi assured him.

Zhao Wu Jiu looked at the young man sitting in the hall, and saw that he was born really handsome, and his eyes revealed the graceful elegance that can only be conceived in the Jiangnan landscape. .

The two people have not seen each other for years, but there is an indescribable closeness. Seventh, the main idea is to express the meaning of "I forgot everything, I don't remember anything, just listen to the seventeenth, the seventeenth is the most reliable" and the like, a natural flatterer.

But after sitting for half an hour, Zhao Wu Jiu felt that there were spikes growing on the cushion of his wheelchair, both eye-catching and piercing, making it difficult to sit still, he wanted to urge Bai Shiqi to leave: "Master Luo is going to see Ba ​​at the county office today. The county magistrate is over, and I don’t know how the negotiation will turn out. If there is no objection, those victims will temporarily settle in Yizhuang, so that their families can come to claim them. Would you like to visit the scene again?”

Bai Shiqi was afraid of missing any clues. Even if Qiu Ying was resurrected from the dead, she had become a habit to track down the water bandits. What happened back then was like a fog, except for the abacus, she didn't find a second witness, and she didn't want to jump to conclusions.

"Then let's go take a look."

Qiu Ying heard that Bai Shiqi was going to the murder scene, and hurriedly shouted: "Seventeen—"

Abacus didn't know He Jin came in: "Young gang master has been looking for the son for several years, and now the son is standing in front of you alive, why are you still going to the murder scene?"

Qiu Ying bowed her head shyly, rather embarrassed: "Abacus, don't talk nonsense!"

The abacus stalker said, "Young master, haven't you heard of it outside? It is rumored that the leader of the Suzhou Cao Gang is full of food, and every winter fights with the water bandits on the canal. Even the government's work has been taken over by himself, which is more effective than the local guards. Others don't know, but I know, it is from the winter of the year that your accident happened, and the young gang leader has become revenge with the water bandits on the river! "

Qiu Ying said embarrassedly, "I spoiled the abacus. I'm talking nonsense in front of so many people. Seventeen, don't mind."

Zhao Wu Jiu saw that the young man had a pair of affectionate eyes, staring at Bai Shiqi could gently drown people, he couldn't help thinking: he is... Really forgetting the old things? Don't coax Bai Shiqi?

Bai Shiqi obviously trusts this playmate who grew up with him since childhood, and doesn't care about Abacus' words, and said with emotion: "Abacus is right, I have a grudge against the water bandits on the river, it was you all that year. After the accident, even the people in our Cao Gang dared to move, and the boats dared to rob them, so they can't make them think that the Cao Gang is weak and can be bullied, right?"

She also stared at Qiu Ying: "Aying, I'm very happy to see you standing here in good shape! Really! But the abacus said that Xiao Shi was with the leader of the water bandits at the time, and I have been tracking down the water bandits over the years. I have never seen him in the river, and I still have to pursue it. I just want to ask him for you and the other brothers who died, why did the brothers have to be killed in those days?!"

They grew up together since they were children, and they were close siblings, even closer than ordinary siblings. Even if Qiu Ying was still alive, there were only two of them left.

Qiu Ying seemed to be touched by what she said: "Then I... Then I'll go with you to have a look, maybe I can find some clues."

Bai Shiqi: "...Also."

Abacus hesitated, screeching at his sleeve and not letting go.

"What's wrong?" Bai Shiqi walked to the door, only to find that the master and servant were at a deadlock.

"Young gang master doesn't know that since the young master was injured that year, he has suffered from headaches. He can't see blood or fights. When he sees it, he will definitely have a headache. The pain is so severe that he can't bear it and hit the wall."

Zhao Wu Jiu watched Bo Shiqi who walked to the door and turned back to comfort the little white face: "Why don't you go, I want to know what I want to tell you when I come back." She also promised again and again, "Old man Huang will return to his hometown. Go, I'll take you to see old man Huang after the busy days, maybe he can cure your headache for you."

Qiu Ying took her hand with a firm face, as if she had taken an elixir to cure her chronic illness: "Seventeen, after seeing you, I think my headache is completely cured."

Shu Changfeng secretly praised his surname Qiu in his heart: This kid is too good at talking!

It's no wonder that after so many years of "dead", the gang leader Bai Shao still misses him.

Zhao Wu Jiu is also the first time he has seen such unprincipled flattering people: "It's the first time I know that Seventeen is more capable than Mr. Huang, and he can cure a disease without needing to know everything."

Qiu Ying said earnestly: "My heart is lonely and stagnant, and it is easy to get sick. Now I know that someone cares about me so much. They are willing to work hard for me and the water bandits, and even avenge me. No matter how serious the disease is, I will be cured at once."

Zhao Wu Jiu: “…”

Please stop flattering!

Shu Changfeng looked at Bai Shiqi with admiration, even if he was touted by such a handsome man without any dead ends, he might be shaken and fall into self-inflation, not to mention the gang leader Bai Shao... She was still a woman and was loved by childhood sweethearts. The man stared intently and trustingly, does his master still have a chance?

Abacus couldn't stop it in time, and reluctantly followed behind, and the group went to the murder scene again.

Bai Shiqi, who was discussing the case with Zhao Wu Jiu yesterday, was completely entangled by Qiu Ying. He followed Bai Shiqi step by step. After boarding the merchant ship, he took two steps back when he smelled the strong smell of blood and held Bai Shiqi firmly. Seventeen's arm: "...It smells of blood."

Abacus said worriedly, "Young Master, are you feeling bad? Do you have a headache? If it hurts, let's get off the boat first, shall we?"

Qiu Ying covered her forehead and said weakly, "It's okay! You said that I used to be by Seventeen's side all the time. As long as I'm by her side, nothing will happen."

Zhao Wu Jiu: “…”

He has no fluctuations in his heart, he just wants to hit people!

It turns out that what Bai Shiqiang has been obsessed with is a flatterer?

Really worrying aesthetic preference.

The daring and unruly Bai Shiqi seemed to be smothered by lard, and actually held the little white face named Chou in front of him: "Don't be afraid, just follow me. If you feel uncomfortable or have a headache, just follow me. Say."

Qiu Ying smiled at her: "Well, I listen to you."

Several people stood on the deck and waited for the people from the Gao Post Guard Station to go down and lift up all the corpses in the cabins and place them on the deck one by one. They carefully looked at the wounds from beginning to end.

Although the temperature is low, some corpses have already floated corpse spots, and those hideous wounds are even more terrifying under the sun.

Qiu Ying just glanced at it and then subconsciously held onto the railing of the boat to vomit. Bai Shiqi went over to pat him on the back: "Does it matter? Why don't you go back first?"

Qiu Ying didn't spit out anything, but followed Bai Shiqi and refused to leave: "Abacus said that we were inseparable before, Shi Shi, please let me stay."

inseparable?

Zhao Wu Jiu put these four words on the tip of his tongue and tasted it again and again, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart.

After all the victims were carried out for inspection, they were covered up, carried off the boat, put on a carriage and sent to Yizhuang.

Bai Shiqi and Zhao Wu Jiu went to check again in the cabin, Qiu Ying also followed with a blank face, before reaching the bottom, he hugged his head and crouched on the ship ladder, Abacus had already shouted anxiously, "Young gang master, The son is sick, hurry up and move out!" He was the first to drag Qiu Ying out of the cabin.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Ying held on to Bai Shiqi's sleeve and didn't let go: "Seventeen—"

But Zhao Wu Jiu was disgusted.

***

Qiu Ying's headache seemed to be quite serious. After returning from the boat, he was in bed to recuperate. Bai Shiqi followed him back and invited Gaoyou's famous doctor all over again, to no avail.

One of the doctors heard her mention that the patient had encountered a water bandit a few years ago and almost lost his life. Since then, he has been unable to see blood. He went to a merchant ship that had an accident in the past two days. When he came back, he fell ill again. He had frequent headaches. The attack was very painful, and the old doctor slowly swallowed the conclusion with his goatee beard: "I can't say that your son is an emotional disease. Even if the root of the disease is identified, it may not be cured. There is a saying that Heart disease still needs a heart medicine doctor, even if a decoction is prescribed to adjust it, it may not be effective for a while, or you can find Doctor Huang, his plum blossom needle is a must, and maybe it can be cured."

After sending the old doctor away, Abacus squatted under the eaves and muttered, "I'll just say, how can the son's illness be cured so easily?"

Bai Shiqi: "It really doesn't work. I'll set off in two days and take your son to find old man Huang. Since the old doctor said that old man Huang can cure it, I'll take him to try it."

The abacus jumped up and stood up. He seemed so happy that he didn't know what to do. He surrounded Bai Shiqi with attentiveness: "Are you thirsty? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? I'm going to make tea for you?"

Bai Shiqi: "..."

The attitude of Abacus changed too quickly, which made her very uncomfortable. She always felt that this kid was holding a stomach full of bad water. She said earnestly: "Abacus, if you have any ideas, you can put them forward. You are so enthusiastic, I I always feel...you're not at ease."

The abacus was hit hard, and if the ears were a little longer, they would probably droop down.

Qiu Ying came out leaning against the wall, stood in the shadow of the doorway and watched for a while before coughing softly.

Bai Shiqi: "...Why did you get up?"

Abacus: "Young Master must be afraid that the Young Master will leave." Qiu Ying leaned against the wall and smiled shyly, acquiescing to Abacus's words.

Abacus: "When the son was recovering from illness, he often lay in a daze, saying that the house was as quiet as a coffin. If the master of the lesser gang can accompany the son more, his illness will be better sooner."

Bai Shiqi went to support him: "If you have a headache, don't get up. I'll go in and accompany you."

Bai Shiqi sat on Qiu Ying's bedside to accompany him. Seeing him staring at her bored, the two of them stared at her and took a book by the bed: "I'll read to you, okay? ?"

Qiu Ying's eyes lit up with shredded stars: "Okay."

Bai Shiqi opened the book and read it slowly. Sometimes when he turned the page, he found that he was staring at her intently.

"What are you looking at?"

"When I look at you, I feel so kind."

Bai Shiqi: "What do you remember?"

Qiu Ying suddenly held her head: "My head hurts!"

"Well, don't think about it! You don't have to think about anything!"

When he fell asleep, Bai Shiqi put down the book and left lightly.

After a long time, the person in the bedroom who was asleep early in the morning opened his eyes: "Abacus—"

The abacus seemed to be on call at any time, and he came in quickly and stood by his bedside: "What is your command?"

"Seventeen is gone?"

"The little one sent it to the gate in person, and watched the young gang master go away before returning."

He sat up and changed his clothes: "Let's go."

The courtyard door rang, and the master and servant both changed into unobtrusive clothes and went out.

After watching the scene, Luo Dajue once approached Ba Hongru, magistrate of Gaoyou County, to discuss how to solve the case, but Ba Hongru was cowardly and fearless. thing.

Miao Song had a clear idea of ​​the county magistrate's abilities. He had dealt with Luo Dajue before, and knew that this man was a straightforward person with a gut that went straight to the end. Understand: "The county magistrate does not want to be involved in this matter. If he can solve the case, it is his political achievement. If it becomes an unsolved case for a long time and cannot be solved for a long time, then it is the responsibility of the lower official and the guard's ineffectiveness in protecting the place. Although the official rank of Lord Luo is higher than that of the lower official. Gao, but I'm afraid there's no way to get yourself out like the county magistrate, why don't we work together to solve this case?"

Luo Dajue was not someone to evade responsibility, and he despised Ba Hongru's character, so he negotiated with Miao Song to offer a reward to collect witnesses, so as to provide clues to the murder of the ship, and then send people to post articles everywhere to check the identity of the victim.

After the incident, there were corpses everywhere on the boat, but it was strange that everything that proved the identity of the owner of the boat was gone. It seemed that someone deliberately concealed the identity of the victim.

Bai Shiqi contacted the rudder master of the Gaoyou sub-rudder to distribute news on various waterways, so that the families of the victims could get the news as soon as possible and come to claim the remains.

After she finished all this, she returned to the Gaoyou Post Office.

Zhao Wu Jiu didn't speak when he saw Bai Shiqi, Zhao Ziheng already screamed and rushed over: "Seventeen, where's your weak little white face?" Knowing what I remembered, I actually stopped and stood to speak.

"You said Qiu Ying?" Qiu Ying has a kind of handsome appearance of a Jiangnan man, and her complexion is fair, isn't it the little white face in Zhao Ziheng's mouth?

Zhao Ziheng and his good brother were in the same mind, and he was immediately happy: "It's him, such a big man, being a daughter, is obsessed with you, how could he be willing to let you back?"

Zhao Wu Jiu is not a talkative person, but Shu Changfeng fought for his wise and wise master, and he gave all his brains to Zhao Ziheng.

"He just can't remember the past, what is obsession?" Bai Shiqi kicked him: "Let you talk nonsense!"

Zhao Ziheng laughed and went to hide, and even berated Qiu Ying in front of Bai Shiqi: "Isn't this the trick of those women to compete for favor? Pretend to be sick and weak. He didn't seem to die of illness in the few years you didn't show up, you Why can't I suddenly leave you after it appeared?" When he said that he was happy, it was easy to keep his mouth shut: "My cousin has bad legs, and he didn't pretend to be weak in front of you. Who should I show you how she is about to die of illness?"

Bai Shiqi couldn't wait to slap this guy: "He's not that kind of person!"

Zhao Wu Jiu silently exchanged glances with Shu Changfeng, and when he saw his cousin's expression, it was indescribable, which coincided with Bai Shiqi's mentality at the moment.

Qiu Ying pretended to be sick and Bai Shiqi was concerned, which made Zhao Wu Jiu feel quite uncomfortable. On the way back, Shu Changfeng offered advice to his master: "The one surnamed Chou can pretend to be ill, but His Highness really hurt his leg. Why don't you wait for Young Master Bai to help the Master come back, and His Highness will say that his leg hurts?"

Zhao Wu Jiu felt that this plan was very good.

Zhao Ziheng still didn't know that he had accidentally ruined his cousin's good deeds, and was chased by Bai Shiqi, jumping up and down, mocking her as he ran: "He wasn't such a person before, isn't he happy that something has changed in the past few years? You think everyone is you, and you haven't made any progress for a few years! You have to be a little self-aware, right?"

Bai Shiqi: "..." Who the hell has been making no progress for a few years?

The good brother showed her what a person without self-knowledge should be like.

“Ziheng—” Zhao Wu Jiu laughed angrily, “Who do you say has no self-knowledge?”

Cousin is the tight curse on Zhao Ziheng's head, and he can be a lot more honest with a single chanting. The grandmother and parents in the family together are not as profound as the lessons his cousin taught him.

Zhao Ziheng immediately persuaded: "I don't have self-knowledge, okay?" Then he whispered: "Cousin is too biased, and he is still protecting Seventeen, I am obviously here to help you..." But thinking of Shu Changfeng's warning, cousin It seems that he has an interest in Bai Shiqi, and wants to marry Bai Shiqi, so that he should pay attention to the distance between him and Bai Shiqi on weekdays.

My cousin, Xiao Banzheng, is strict, what is Bai Shiqi? That is a wild monkey who goes up to the house and uncovers the tiles and causes disasters. Does the Zhou Wangfu want to weave a net of heaven and earth to trap her in the net?

He vaguely didn't like the loss of his good brother's freedom in the future, so he was going to find a chance to talk to his cousin, so that he could dispel this unrealistic idea. As a result, for three consecutive days, Bai Shiqi was arrested by Zhao Wujiu and trained at Gaoyou Guard Station. Those people still used the method of Bai Shiqi training the workers on the boat, but he was stunned that he didn't find a chance.

After Bai Shiqi returned to the Gaoyou Guard Station, Zhao Wu Jiu personally invited her to persuade her: "With the strength of the soldiers in the guard station, I'm afraid that time will not be to suppress the water bandits, but to be sent to be suppressed by the water bandits. Although I have many years I'm in charge of soldiers, but I've never fought a water battle, and I'm not familiar with sailor training, but seeing your training method on the watercraft, I think it can be used for reference, so I'm going to trouble you more."

Shu Changfeng secretly praised his master for being wise in his heart—for such a grand reason, even if the master of Bai Shao wanted to shirk, he couldn't find a reason to shirk.

Zhao Wu Jiu's words were too polite, she was a little flattered: "...I'm just kidding, Big Brother Zhao really thinks it's good?"

In the past few years, she has been cleaning the river on the Cao River, and she has seen many victims. Every time she sees it, she can't stop the anger. In the event of exterminating the water bandits, one can lead the way or track down the water bandits, but she didn’t expect that Zhao Wu Jiu would even ask her for help in training soldiers, she couldn’t believe it.

“Of course!” Zhao Wu Jiu praised, “I was thinking about this when you were training, in fact, there are many training methods that can be added to the naval training, it would be even better if you could add some weapons that you could have handy. "

Bai Shiqi was very happy: "There are weapons, those water bandits will also have various weapons under the water, such as chisels, hooks, etc. Don't look down on them, but they are actually quite practical. They are just playing on the boat. , I won't add a murder weapon. If Big Brother Zhao needs it, I can draw the drawings and find someone to do it."

Luo Dajue has many years of experience in water battles, and joined the discussion happily, the three of them hit it off and quickly developed a training method, even the matching weapons, seeing Zhao Wu Jiu's questioning eyes, it seems that Questioning his ability to lead troops, he quickly explained: "Wei Chen didn't do training before, and he didn't make weapons that were handy. Isn't this... Isn't it moneyless?"

A penny stumped a hero. Even if the sergeants of the entire guardhouse were pulled out to fish and sell, I am afraid that they would not be able to collect the money to make weapons, and they might even attract jokes from colleagues and reprimands from their superiors.

Since doing more and more mistakes, simply do nothing wrong.

Time passed quickly when I was busy, even Bai Shiqi didn’t get up in the morning, Shu Changfeng ran to smash the door, the two trained sergeants together during the day, and at night they were dragged by Zhao Wujiu until midnight and refused to let her go back to the room to sleep, or With the same experience as her in asking for advice and suppressing bandits, or studying maps in front of the oil lamp, other than sleeping in the same bed, they are almost inseparable.

Zhao Ziheng couldn't get a chance to persuade his cousin, so he took advantage of the time to eat before his cousin came over, and seized the opportunity to hint at Bai Shiqi: "I heard that you and your cousin are together every night, so you should pay attention to your name if you are alone. Festival."

Bai Shiqi looked at him dumbfounded: "You mean don't ruin your cousin's reputation?" Sure enough, the ruling class likes to save face and build a positive image, but she ignored it.

"Pfft!" Zhao Ziheng almost sprayed her face with a mouthful of hot soup, and wanted to shake her shoulders and ask: Brother, do you have any self-awareness of your daughter's family?

But thinking about what she did in the past, even if her identity was exposed, even he didn't take her as a little girl, let alone herself, with the name of "Lesson Leader" on her head, she acted even more out of line than men, The two of them hooked their shoulders and listened to the song, and asked the master of the gang to pay attention to the famous festival. Isn't it a joke to tell it?

Zhao Ziheng immediately changed course: "Yes, you have a ridiculous reputation, but don't ruin your cousin's innocence. He will marry a wife and have children in the future."

Bai Shiqi: "It makes sense, I'll pay attention next time." She still understands the difficulty of the royal family's children very well, I heard that there are too many red tapes to raise a prudent and self-disciplined prince like Zhao Wu Jiu, right?

Zhao Wu Jiu, who happened to step into the dining room, said, "..." Why do you hear that this kid is tearing down the stage?

Shu Changfeng smiled secretly, pretending not to understand.

Zhao Wu Jiu looked for Bai Shiqi again at night, but she refused: "This... is not suitable, right?"

Zhao Wu Jiu thought to himself: You and Ziheng should go out to listen to Qu'er and drink in the middle of the night, why is it not suitable for you to talk business with me in the room?

But the look of righteousness that His Royal Highness Zhou had cultivated the day after tomorrow was originally intended for other purposes, but he made him look businesslike: "If you find it inconvenient, it just so happens that Lord Luo is also good at water warfare, not only weapons, There are also ways to improve tactics and training, why don’t you invite him to discuss it together?”

Between the two of them, there was Grand Duke Luo, and Bai Shiqi wanted to go to the crooked place and felt that she was trying to save a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. On, Abacus came running crying.

The person at the gate of the guard said, "That little brother cried and refused to leave, saying that he must see Young Master Bo."

When Bai Shiqi was about to go out, Zhao Wu Jiu brothers and one Shu Chang Feng also followed.

In front of everyone, Abacus stood at the gate of the guardhouse and said to Bai Shiqi, "My son has been ill and can't get out of bed for the past few days. When he had a severe headache, he slammed his head against the wall and knocked out several times. It's a big bag. I can't eat food for the past few days. I lie in bed every day and don't say a word, but I keep staring at the door. I know that the young master is waiting for the young master to pass by, but he doesn't say anything, and let the young Don't disturb the young gang master, saying that the young gang master must have something important to do, and he will definitely go to see him when he has time. The little one really can't stand it anymore, so he secretly came to the young gang master, what should I do if it goes on like this?"

"How can it be so serious?" Bai Shiqi was shocked: "It wasn't so serious when I left that day." She wanted to take Qiu Ying to see old man Huang for medical treatment, but was stopped by Zhao Wu Jiu, and she would Can't walk away.

After hearing the abacus cry, Bai Shiqi was really embarrassed: "Or..."

Zhao Wu Jiu saw that she was going to pick her up in the middle of the process, so he stopped him quickly: "No, don't you know how important things are under your hands? You've been away for a few days, but you're going to make mistakes!"

Bai Shiqi: "But what about Aying?"

Zhao Ziheng whispered: "He's pretending to be sick, don't pay attention to him!" When Zhao Wu Jiu heard it, he calmly slapped him on the forehead with a backhand. .

Zhao Wu Jiu said, “It’s really impossible to send someone to pick up Mr. Huang and Zhu Shoumei? Anyway, Mr. Huang’s home is not far from here, so two days’ journey should be enough.”

Bai Shiqi was very worried: "If you send someone to Old Man Huang, you may not be willing to come." In a hurry, she thought of a suitable candidate: "My father will be very happy to hear that A Ying is still alive. It was sent to my father and asked him to pick up the old man Huang."

Although Huang Youbi was very critical of the Bai family's father and daughter tricking him into treating Zhao Wujiu, he was fooled by Bai Shiqiu, how could he know that he had no grudge against Bai Zhenting in his heart?

It's also a good idea to just take this opportunity to let the old brothers repair their relationship.

Bai Shiqi wrote a letter and sent it to the helmsman of the Cao Gang, and asked him to send someone back to Suzhou by water, where he complained to Zhao Wujiu: "Aying doesn't like to trouble others by nature, so the abacus must come to me. The situation is not good, I will go back when I go, and I will not delay today's training, it is better to let Master Luo guide me first, and I will be back soon."

Zhao Wu Jiu: "I'll give you half a day off, come back as soon as possible."

Abacus broke into a smile: "Young gang master, you can go and see my son, he will get better soon!"

Bai Shiqi: "Let's go quickly, I've never seen you so clueless before." Otherwise, why would she be separated for four years and make her run like crazy to fight the water bandits?

****

After waiting for several days, Zhao Ziheng wanted to find an opportunity to persuade his cousin, watching the backs of Bai Shiqi and Abacus, pushing Zhao Wujiu's wheelchair to the front hall.

Seeing that he suddenly became diligent and robbed of his own work, Shu Changfeng couldn't help but be surprised: "Thirteenth Lang, what are you doing?"

"Don't follow me, when I don't know that you are acting as a tiger?"

The second monk Shu Changfeng was puzzled: "Why am I acting like a tiger?"

Zhao Wu Jiu said earnestly, "Ziheng, you are not too young, don't just focus on having fun all day, you should also read more books, so as not to make the wrong words and lose face."

Zhao Ziheng felt that he was doing business today, and said confidently: "It's not that I said something wrong, but my cousin did something wrong."

Zhao Wu Jiu has never been taught a lesson by this unreliable guy, so it sounds wrong: "Are you going to rebel?"

"Don't dare to rebel!" Zhao Ziheng pushed the people into the hall, closed the door with a "bang" in front of Shu Changfeng who was following him, and persuaded bitterly, "Recently, I have seen my cousin acting out of style, so I wanted to ask A cousin's plan, do you think it's over after you've teased Seventeen, or do you really plan to be with her?"

Shu Changfeng said that his cousin had plans to marry a wife, but he felt unreliable no matter what he thought.

He still has a clear understanding of his brother's strength, if Zhao Wu Jiu is really done teasing, he will let it go, Bai Shiqi is not a vegetarian, it is not certain who will suffer. But if the idea of ​​marriage is moved, it is another matter.

Zhao Wu Jiu: "Why, I can't marry Seventeen?"

Zhao Ziheng had a toothache: "Of course not!" I haven't heard of any sister-in-law and brother-in-law going out to listen to music together. Isn't my cousin determined to rob his brother and demolish his stage?

"You two... are you suitable?" Zhao Ziheng still had some understanding of his cousin's old-fashioned personality.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wu Jiu's stubbornness is still very maddening: "Why don't I fit in with Seventeen?"

In order to protect his like-minded brothers, Zhao Ziheng tried his best to smear Bai Shiqi: "Cousin, have you ever considered that Shi Shi is best at fishing for fish in rivers, fighting with people, visiting cellars, listening to tunes and teasing the little lady... What does the princess look like?"

Zhao Wu Jiu: "What else?"

Zhao Ziheng apologized to Bai Shiqi in his heart: Good brother, I really tried my best to save you!

"Cousin, you don't know, seventeen she grew up so big, she has never been a girl one day, she is floating on the canal with a bunch of rough men on the Caohe, listen to what she did, and talk to her. The water bandits are fighting against each other, they have killed people and seen blood, and if they don't agree with you in the future and get into a fight... How embarrassing are you if you lose?" Being beaten by his wife, the royal family can't afford to lose this person!

Zhao Wu Jiu: "...how do you know I can't beat her?"

"No, no, no!" Zhao Ziheng, who was trying his best to smear Bai Shiqi just now, immediately stood over his good brother: "Cousin, how can you beat Shi Qi?"

Zhao Wu Jiu: "Didn't you say that we will fight together in the future? Do you want me to stop fighting back and let her fight?"

Zhao Ziheng: "Of course I didn't mean that." The brothers fought fiercely, and if they fought back, they would definitely be beaten and cry.

"Then what are you worried about?" He thought about a possible scene in the future, and the scene of the gang leader Bai was in a rage. smile.

Zhao Ziheng was very angry at his cousin's non-cooperative behavior, and it was rare for him to look serious and serious: "Cousin, I'm telling you seriously, don't take it as a joke! Even if you want to marry Seventeen, have you asked for His Majesty and the Empress?"

Zhao Wu Jiu: "Last time the angel came to pass on the secret edict, I have already written a letter back, maybe the father, the queen and the mother have already received the news. Besides, the royal family has never been married to the family of lords, nobles, or high-ranking officials in the court. Even the royal father's concubines and concubines are from ordinary people's families, do you think that my father and mother will force me to marry a noble daughter?"

Zhao Ziheng: "But Seventeen, she's not an ordinary woman from a good family, but she is... the young master of the Cao Gang, and a large group of brothers under her command depend on her to survive. It is impossible for her to follow you back to the capital and be trapped in Zhou Wangfu. To be a princess. Cousin, although you have considered it very carefully, have you asked Seventeen's wishes? Is she willing to stay on the Caohe and live a happy life, or follow you to Beijing to be a circled Zhou? What about the princess?"

Zhao Wu Jiu: “…”

Zhao Ziheng hit the bull's-eye with one arrow, and Zhao Wujiu was speechless when he asked, which rarely made Zhao Wujiu speechless, he continued to make persistent efforts: "Cousin, you unilaterally planned to marry, but seventeen Behavior without consent is wishful thinking!"

Zhao Wu Jiu: “… She didn’t say she disagreed.”

His Royal Highness Zhou: "Let's talk about the marriage, the words of the parents, if the gang leader Bai agrees, I believe that Seventeen has no reason to disagree."

"Haha." Zhao Ziheng gave him a pair of rolled eyes: "Cousin, do you think Seventeen listens to the words of Gang Master Bai?" Have you seen the scene where the father and son of the Bai family are at home at the same time?

He still knew his good brother very well: "If she doesn't agree, even if you tie the sedan chair, she can lift the roof for you and smash the wedding hall. I think it's better for my cousin to stop going his own way and do it with Seventeen. Is your brother okay?"

She is delicious and fun, cheerful and funny, bold and generous, and very loyal. What a good brother candidate? !

“Do you think everyone only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day like you?” Zhao Wu Jiu disagreed with his cousin’s ideals in life: “You only know how to eat, drink and have fun, Seventeen is more reliable than you, she is smart and flexible, There are still ravines in her chest, if she doesn't agree, can't I find a way to get her to agree?"

Zhao Ziheng looked at him angrily: "..." Why am I here to remind him of this?

Zhao Wu Jiu seems to have understood his thoughts, seeing that he rarely trusts him once, he actually asks him for advice: "Since you said that being a brother is wishful thinking, then being a brother will ask you for advice, how can I make Bai Shiqiu Agree with this marriage?"

Zhao Ziheng: "...Are you really here?"

"Am I joking?"

Zhao Ziheng murmured to himself, "Crazy, crazy!" With Zhao Wujiu's willpower, he really wanted to do something, and he couldn't do it, let alone a marriage, he was deeply worried about his good brother: "Ten Qi is also not in harmony with you." If you really want to talk about in harmony, how can the old-fashioned cousin be as suitable as him, and the two are "like-minded".

When he was in a hurry, he started to be strong first, proposed to Bai Shiqi, and kept his good brother.

"You dare?!" Zhao Wu Jiu was so keen, he immediately sensed his cousin's intention: "Don't make trouble for me!"

Zhao Ziheng said angrily, "How can it be called trouble?"

The brothers' negotiations broke down.

Bai Shiqi followed the abacus back to Qiu Ying's small courtyard, pushed the door in and found that it was only a few days ago, he seemed to have lost weight again, turned his head and saw that her eyes were bright, and sat up directly: "Seventeen, what are you doing? Here?" Seeing the guilty abacus behind her, he immediately rebuked: "I already told you not to go to Seventeen, why are you disobedient?"

"It's not the first time he's made his own decisions." Bai Shiqi smiled and walked in: "What's the matter with you? Abacus said that your headache is getting worse. I've already written to my father to ask old man Huang, please don't. Be in a hurry, take care of yourself, and you will be here in a few days."

Qiu Ying was quite disturbed: "I've caused you trouble. I'll go through with patience, and I don't need to let the gang leader toss Mr. Huang. The gang leader... will he be very angry? I heard from the abacus that the gang leader's temper is not very good."

"Don't listen to the abacus!" Bai Shiqi quickly corrected his father's name: "My father is just impatient with me, and has a good temper with the people in the gang, don't worry."

A shy smile finally appeared on Qiu Ying's pale cheeks: "That's good."

"The abacus said you hit several big bags on your head, show me?"

The two grew up together, Bai Shiqi started to untie his hair, Qiu Ying let her move, she could feel her cold fingers passing through his hair, groping gently on his scalp, Stop for a lump and continue to touch.

"Such a big bag, I need to drink anti-swelling medicine. Would you like a doctor to come and take a look?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Qiu Ying comforted her in return.

Bai Shiqi went there on purpose, and two hours later, Shu Changfeng came to urge people, and was stopped by the abacus at the gate to prevent them from entering.

"My son is ill, and the young gang leader is with me, so don't go in and disturb you."

Shu Changfeng looked puzzled: "Why didn't I know that the leader of the young gang was a doctor?"

Abacus heard his sarcasm and was still stubborn: "You don't want to go in anyway!"

Shu Changfeng: "Since the gang leader Bai is not a doctor, it is useless to stay here, it is better to let her do it. Besides, she has already written back and asked the gang leader Bai to invite Mr. Huang. Your son doesn't have to ask her. Will you stay with me?"

The abacus's face turned purple: "My son will be in a good mood if he is accompanied by the lesser gang leader. When he is in a good mood, the headache will not be so bad. Why can't he let the lesser gang leader stay?" He stopped in front of Shu Changfeng, Aggressive: "Anyway, the young gang master and my son grew up together, and the relationship is good, it's useless for your master to be jealous!"

When Zhao Wu Jiu was able to chase after him last time, Qiu Ying saw the clue.

Shu Changfeng said with a smile: "Sect Master Bo has a deep affection for your son. I heard that since his accident, Young Master Bo has been working hard with the water bandits in the past few years. As for what kind of ghost your son is carrying, he is still alive. If you have to pretend to be dead, if you really have a good relationship with Young Master Bo as you said, then it is not necessarily."

Almost every sentence of his words was nailed to the painful foot of the abacus. He wanted to jump up and smash the face in front of him: "I don't allow you to slander my son!"

Shu Changfeng: "What did I say?" He raised his voice and shouted towards the courtyard, "Young gang master, my master wants you to go back as soon as possible, there is news about the people sent out by Lord Luo."

Afraid that Bai Shiqi wouldn't be able to hear it, he shouted three times in a row, and even the neighbors were alarmed, so he couldn't believe that the people in the room couldn't hear him.

In the room, Bai Shiqi really heard what Shu Changfeng said and got up to leave: "Aying, I have something to go."

Qiu Ying lay down weakly and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I'm already very happy to have you come here, you can hurry up and do it."

Seeing his sickly appearance, Bai Shiqi couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought of the young boy who was alive and kicking, and tucked the quilt for him: "You don't have to worry, I'll come to see you as soon as I'm done. Soon Huang The old man is here, and your illness will definitely be cured."

When she walked to the door, Qiu Ying suddenly asked, "Seventeen, isn't what you're doing now very dangerous? I heard that you were in the guardhouse. When did Caogang get involved with the guards' officers and soldiers?"

Bai Shiqi turned to look, his face was hidden in the shadow of the bed, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, she showed a bright smile: "Ask the abacus, I'm so powerful, how can I be afraid of danger. I'm fine. Yes, don't think about taking care of yourself, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters."

The door slammed softly, and she closed the door and went out.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Qiu Ying always felt that Bai Shiqi didn't tell him about the matter between the Cao Gang and the Gao Youwei Station on purpose, not because of his physical reasons, to save him from thinking wildly.

After Bai Shiqi went out, Shu Changfeng was talking to Abacus in a low voice. The other party looked solemn and confirmed again and again: "Really? Why can't you see it, don't you lie to me?"

He quickly reported the time, and seeing the unbelievable look on the other's face, he was finally happy and waved to Bai Shiqi: "Young master, hurry up, there is an urgent matter."

There were two horses tied to the door. Bai Shiqi and Shu Changfeng turned on their horses and walked away. The sound of hooves resounded in the alley. Abacus kept watching the two of them disappear, so they closed the courtyard door and entered.

Seeing that his face was wrong, Qiu Ying couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Abacus sat on a stool beside the bed, which was exactly where Bai Shiqi had sat before. After a while, he said, "I seem to know who killed Xiang Ye."

Qiu Ying: "Who?"

Abacus: "Just now the man surnamed Shu told me that at the end of last year, the young master went to clean up the river and was seriously injured, and he almost didn't survive, but it took Huang Youbi several days to save him. It is said that even Bai Zhenting and Su Shi were alarmed. , and ran to guard her in person."

Qiu Ying sat up: "You mean... Xiang Ye was killed by Seventeen?"

Abacus: "I specifically confirmed it with the surnamed Shu. According to the time, it should be the master of the young gang who took the shot."

He was silent for a moment, and then added: "Besides, with Xiangye's strength, there are not many who can kill him on the water."

Qiu Ying looked solemn: "Don't say a word about this matter."

"I know." He raised his head and looked at Qiu Ying: "But Young Master, the master of the young gang only fights against the water bandits. If you meet someone like Xiang Ye, you have to fight for your life, but it's all for you."

"Not only me, but also Xiao Shi and others." Qiu Ying seemed to excuse herself, but also seemed to strengthen her confidence.

******

Bai Shiqi quickly returned to the Gaoyou Post Office, and when he saw Zhao Wujiu, he asked, "Have you found any witnesses?"

Whether it was the notice posted by the government or the news that she sent to the rudders of the Caobang, it was good news for those merchant boatmen who died in vain.

Zhao Wu Jiu said, "I found a witness, Luo Da Jue and Miao Song took them to identify the scene."

Bai Shiqi sat down: "I thought something big happened."

Zhao Wu Jiu poured tea and handed it to her: "moisten your throat."

"But Yu Ang goes out every day to inquire about news. I heard that the Jiangnan Salt Gang is also full of desperadoes. Do you think these things have anything to do with the Salt Gang?"

Bai Shiqi: "Wen Tao can't be so stupid, right?" The salt gang is secretly doing a private salt business, and everyone just turns a blind eye. But: "As a water bandit, he shouldn't be able to do it, right?"

Yan Xiao guarding the salt field is guarding the gold and silver mountains, so why bother to rob and kill merchants?

The two of them sat there guessing randomly. In short, there was no result. Bai Shiqi didn't bother to bother, and looked around: "Why didn't you see Ziheng today, where did this guy go?"

Zhao Wu Jiu said angrily, "Who knows." This brat dared to unilaterally declare to him that he was entering the Cold War period, he is really good at temper recently.

Bai Shiqi laughed: "Ziheng has a straight temper with no heart. His likes and dislikes are written on his face. He is the least capable of cheating. His Highness will treat him as immature and stop arguing with him."

Zhao Wu Jiu thought to himself: How do you know how excessive he is? ! I know my intentions clearly, but I still want to hit the mandarin ducks, and I have to see if I am qualified to be that big stick.

What a boy who has never suffered!

After sitting for less than half an hour, Da Jue Luo came back with Miao Song and witnesses.

Miao Song was assigned by the county magistrate Ba Hongru to handle affairs with full authority. As a result, the magistrate was really at ease and hid in the back ya in the name of recuperating.

The witness was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He had an argument with his family that day, so he put on a small boat and hid in the reeds. Through the lights of the merchant ship in the distance, I saw that the water bandits were killing people and robbing money.

After the incident that night, all the people in the boat were chopped up and killed. After the water bandits withdrew, he quietly rowed the boat away. After returning home, he did not dare to appear for several days. When it comes to the amount of silver reward, it will take a few days to show up.

Miao Song has no one else to discuss the case with now, so she is still a little worried about the case with Dajue Luo: "Master Ba is unwilling to come forward, according to this witness, this case is more troublesome to handle, what if you need to trouble the Shangguan? "

The water bandit commits crimes along the waterway, which involves his whereabouts. Sometimes it is not necessarily only in this county. Maybe they have already gone to the neighboring county after finishing this ticket. In this case, they need the assistance of the neighboring county, but there is no Shangguan. more troublesome.

Although the official rank of Luo Dajue is not small, he is also a person who does not want to be seen by Shangguan.

Miao Song couldn't help but feel a sense of "the same brothers and sisters who have fallen from the end of the world", and when he was about to sigh that his official luck was not going well, he heard Grand Jue Luo say: "Actually, you don't have to worry about Miao County, there is something I didn't tell you, actually... His Royal Highness King Zhou is at the guard house."

"His Royal Highness Zhou?" Miao Song was taken aback: "Master Luo, you... didn't you joke with the lower official?"

Grand Jue Luo: "Do I look like someone who likes to joke around?" Since he was transferred to the Gaoyou Post Office, he has been sitting on the bench, being ostracized by his colleagues and bosses.

"That's not true." Miao Song thought to himself: Although Lord Luo is a stubborn person and does not please his boss, he is an upright man, and he does not need to tell such a small lie to save face for himself.

"Would you like to go down to see His Royal Highness King Zhou? I've never seen a prince before." Miao Song said tentatively.

Luo Dajue knew what he was thinking. He was quiet and careful, and he did things carefully and carefully, so that he could make a living under Ba Hongru's hands. It was not easy for him, so he brought him to Gaoyouwei to meet Zhao Wujiu.

Zhao Wu Jiu gave him a few words of praise, Miao Song couldn’t help but be overjoyed, thinking of Ba Hongru who was hiding in the county office, secretly wishing the King of Zhou to stab him about his official affairs, maybe he could move away from the building above his head. Mountain.

Witnesses were brought in. After the interrogation, Zhao Wu Jiu drew a wanted portrait according to his description of the water bandit, and put up a reward everywhere.

The sergeants of the Gaoyou Guard Station have always lived a hard life, but fortunately, everyone lived a leisurely and comfortable life, and they could barely get through.

Unexpectedly, the king of Zhou fell from the sky, and the comfortable days came to an end, and everyone was pulled out to rectify the training. Although the food treatment was improved, and even the weapons were re-ordered, the new training was tricky and laborious. Climbing low, he was thrown into the icy water of Kaichun to swim, followed by Luo Dajue and Bai Shiqi, plus His Royal Highness Zhou Wang who was in a wheelchair.

On the first day of training, these people were almost crying and crying. After a few days, they finally made progress. I just felt a little relaxed and the training volume was increased again.

Everyone: "… "

They were all discussing in private that the person who developed this training method must not be a person, and they also bet that Lord Luo had participated in the formulation of the training method.

When this matter reached the ears of Dajue Luo, he simply let the hozens understand: "The new training plan was formulated by His Royal Highness Zhou and the gang leader Bai, if you have any objection, you might as well go to His Highness Zhou and share it. clear?"

Of course, His Royal Highness King Zhou and the others did not dare to look for them, but Bai Shiqiyi helped Cao Mang, so where would it be her turn to point fingers?

These guys are more burly and sturdy than Bai Shiqi, and seeing her as thin as bamboo in the wind, she looks thin despite her height, and they want to make trouble. When they catch King Zhou during training, they run on her: "I heard that you are the leader of the little gang. Helping His Royal Highness Zhou Wang to formulate a training plan, you have worked so hard, but you don't know how much you have?"

Bai Shiqi had been dealing with the thorns in the gang when she was in her teens. She knew that these people were the first in the world, and only their strength could make them shut up. She didn't say anything false: "Since the Do you guys think that I'm not enough, why don't you draw a line and compete?"

The head in the middle said, "We don't take advantage of you either. Everything else is false. Since this training plan is less of a helper, why don't you compare it to this?"

Luo Dajue also tried to suppress: "Don't be ridiculous! Master Bai goes to the river every year to clean up the water bandits. If you are thrown to face the water bandits head-on, will you be able to win?"

"That's just to let us see the ability of Young Master Bai's gang leader."

Bai Shiqi: "Stop talking nonsense, and quickly challenge people to compare. Since everyone is going to fight the water bandits in the future, why not do a practical exercise, one underwater and one on board, how about two comparisons?"

In the middle of everyone's arms, they are all gearing up to make her suffer a big loss.

When the commotion was terrifying, Shu Changfeng pushed King Zhou over, and when asked to understand the reason, he firmly disagreed: "Master Bo was only healed from a serious injury a few years ago, or the injury he suffered while exterminating the water bandits. All of you are strong and strong. , how can you compare with her? Why don't you pick your own people and form a team to compete with each other?"

Everyone was silent for a while, but everyone's emotions that were visible to the naked eye instantly fell.

Bai Shiqi firmly disagreed: "A gentleman is hard to follow. Since I have agreed to compete with everyone, how can I go back? Don't everyone suspect that I am a fake who just talks and doesn't practice? It's better than this, Yuluo. Your Excellency and His Royal Highness Zhou will decide in the middle, but let’s say it first, if I lose, I won’t have anything to say about your training, but what if you lose?”

Everyone looked at each other, the hard training these days was like a nightmare, and everyone felt overwhelmed.

"If the gang leader loses, can our training be easier in the future?"

Luo Dajue's face was blue, and he really wanted to press the group of people under his hand to the ground one by one, but because of King Zhou's presence, he could only bear it for a while. King Zhou and Bai Shiqi looked at each other, and there was a naughty look in her eyes. , obviously it's not just these guys who want to press her down, she also seems to be dissatisfied with the training efficiency of these guys, she really wants to beat them to the ground, and now she has a fair reason, she It seems reluctant to refuse.

Zhao Wu Jiu: "If the lesser gang leader loses, your training can be reduced by a part in the future, but if she wins, no matter how big the training volume is in the future, you must execute it without complaint!"

The crowd cheered: "Your Highness's words count?!"

Bai Shiqi made his heart agitated and said agitatedly, "Since I am afraid that Your Highness will regret it, it is better to write it clearly in black and white, and everyone put their fingerprints on the back, so as not to regret it in the future."

Luo Dajue's face was covered with a layer of pot ashes, and it was so dark that he could hardly see the background color: "Is there any end for you hozens?"

Bai Shiqi reassured him: "Master Luo, don't worry, I will show mercy."

Everyone: "..." There's no end to the madness, right? !

One by one, they called out to have their fingerprints pressed. Shu Changfeng brought the pen and ink, and the deed written by His Royal Highness King Zhou himself. Everyone pressed the fingerprints one by one. Finally, one handed over the delicate thumbprint of Bai Shiqi Guling, and the other one. On one side, the handprints of most of the paper were densely arranged.

Bai Shiqi made one last confirmation and blew at the deed paper: "Okay, everyone, pack up and prepare to go into the water, first choose your companions in the water."

Zhao Wu Jiu didn't even sit in the wheelchair, he pulled her over and whispered, "If your body can't take it anymore, come out quickly, don't really mess with these people, you know?!"

Bai Shiqi followed the training for a few days, and had already figured out their ability in the water: "It's nothing to be afraid of, just like this group of people in the water, don't worry, Big Brother Zhao, I will keep them clean and docile, To save the day training and shouting tired."

Zhao Wu Jiu couldn't help rubbing her head: "You are too good." Let her go back to change clothes and prepare to go into the water.

The place for the competition is right next to the river in front of the guardhouse. As a place for daily training, the water here is wide, the bottom of the river is less silt, and the water is still and deep, which is very suitable for training.

Bai Shiqi took off his robe first and boarded the big boat of the guard house. The four volunteers who volunteered to participate in the competition, along with the referee and some of the onlookers, boarded the boat. When the boat reached the heart of the river, Bai Shiqi took off his robe and jumped into the water. , She was wearing a tight-fitting water pad, and there was no splash when she fell into the water. According to the judgment standard of a diver, this posture of entering the water would probably get a high score.

The other four thumped and jumped down, and then she disappeared from the water.

After a few people jumped down, they couldn't find anyone. Two of them dived into the water to look for them, and the other two floated on the water to watch. One of them suddenly felt that his ankle was being dragged by someone and hurriedly struggled: "Come here..." After calling for help, he was dragged into the water and choked several times. When he reacted, someone had already locked his throat. If it wasn't for her mercy, he would have been killed in a single blow.

The rest of the companions came to help, but they didn't expect that Bai Shiqi entered the water faster than the fish swim.

Everyone: "..." Is this person transformed from a fish?

There was a fierce battle in the water, and the four strong men were drinking water with their heads pressed by her, and they had no power to fight back; the water battle was not as good as on land. She was often beaten in places they couldn't see, almost drowned in the water, and finally she was dragged to the shore one by one like a dog to death, lying on the shore gasping for breath, vomited half belly before she came back to life .

A brother with good things came over and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

The four of them were too weak to give a word to their comrades: "Go away!"

"If you lose, you lose, why are you putting your anger on me." The man touched his nose and ducked to the side.

When Bai Shiqi went ashore, Zhao Wu Jiu quickly took a cloth towel and handed it over: "Quickly wipe your hair, go back and change your clothes to compare."

Even if it is uncomfortable to wear tight-fitting water, there is still water dripping all over the body, and it will not fall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other four players that Wei picked up with good fists and feet all got on the boat, and they were full of confidence and vowed to regain a round: "We have already lost a round, if you lose another round, you will really unconditionally obeyed."

The comrades have high hopes for these four, and have various thoughts: "Bai Shao Gang Master alone, you have four, even if it is exhausting, he has no energy."

Bai Shiqi changed to a tight bunt, and five people boarded the boat. This time even the referee was on the shore, and falling into the water was a loser.

The four of them boarded the boat full of confidence, but the result was a big accident. Unexpectedly, Young Master Bo would jump around like a monkey when he got on the boat. Even if the boat was full of weapons to block her, she was kicked into the water by Lengzi. one.

The other three made up their minds to besiege her, and they managed to block people under the mast. Unexpectedly, she showed a bright smile, so she rushed up, and in the blink of an eye, she climbed to a height of three meters, facing the three people below. Grimace: "Now you know why you were asked to practice mast climbing?"

Three sergeants: "..." I really want to hit people, but unfortunately they're not as skilled!

In the actual combat drill, the four losers were disgraced, and she was kicked into the water one after another, and they lost completely.

Luo Da Jue's old face didn't know whether it should be red or black. On the one hand, he disliked the poor ability of the people under his command, and on the other hand, he felt that they did not need to be cleaned up, and he was too picky about his own strength. You should be lucky to have met the true gang leader Bai Shao, not a real water bandit, or else your life will be gone, and you won't have to train!"

This is exactly what Bai Shiqi wanted to say to the sergeants. She stood on the boat and said to the sergeants on the shore: "I know that training is boring, tiring and painful, but this matter is not something that can be slack off. And lazy. When I was a child, I was practising qigong and was whipped by my own father. He said something I still remember deeply.”

"My dad said that instead of being hacked to death in the river tomorrow, I'd better take a whip and beat you to death today. I thought he was ruthless at the time, but the experience of escaping death countless times later made me look back. I went to see it, but I am very grateful to my father. If I hadn’t had a hard-hearted training for me, I would have been a wretch today relying on my father’s shadow. Even if I encountered water bandits in the river, I would have to wait. Dead share."

The sergeants on the shore were moved, especially the eight people who lost to her have a profound experience. Only in desperate situations will people reflect on the sloppy and arrogant past, and regret not learning more about self-help methods on weekdays.

"I have dealt with the water bandits on the Lianghuai Road more than once. They are cruel and vicious, and they have no scruples. As long as you hesitate a little, maybe your head will fall. So... Your Highness specially formulated a high-intensity training plan. , I just want to ensure that everyone can survive in the process of suppressing bandits in the future, and destroy the water bandits, so we can only take over their nests if we are stronger than the water bandits!"

The people on the shore listened to her words, they lost two battles and lost very badly, no matter how hard they have any objection to the training intensity, they all listened to Zhao Wujiu, and Luo Dajue led the team to train.

Bai Shiqi jumped off the boat, walked slowly over, stood in front of Zhao Wu Jiu, and suddenly said seriously, "I have a question to ask Your Highness."

Zhao Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that Zhao Ziheng, the big mouth that leaked everywhere, was complaining to Bai Shiqi again, and subconsciously said, "Don't listen to Ziheng's nonsense, this kid's mouth never speaks the truth! "

"What's the matter with Guan Ziheng?" Bai Shiqi looked at him suspiciously: "You two brothers... are you having a fight?" This situation seemed strange.

"No." Zhao Wu Jiu flatly denied: "I just said casually, I just thought that this kid has been loose for too long, it's time to move his muscles and bones, why not let him train with the sergeants of the guardhouse tomorrow, how do you feel?"

"As long as Ziheng doesn't object, I have nothing against it, right?" Bai Shiqi snickered: This is really a cousin! Only a cousin would dare to make such a ruthless attack!

She secretly guessed, could it be that Ziheng did something reckless to make Zhao Wujiu in a bad mood, so he punished him with this trick?

Shu Changfeng smiled and silently moved a few steps away from the two of them.

Zhao Wu Jiu saw that he was fooled, so he asked the previous topic, "What did you want to ask?"

Bai Shiqi walked side by side with his wheelchair: "I just want to ask, why is your Highness still in a wheelchair when he can walk?"

Zhao Wu Jiu swept his eyes over his legs, he probably wouldn’t say when someone asked him, but Bai Shiqi was reliable: “What kind of rotten the Jiangnan garrison garrison is, and there are bandits like scabies. , If I appear well, most of these people will be wary, but if it is a half-crippled prince who can't even walk, what do you think whether it is the guards or the water bandits?"

"His Royal Highness is really an idiot!"

Sometimes Zhao Wu Jiu really thinks that Bai Shiqi and Zhao Ziheng are similar in taste, otherwise the two of them sometimes speak in the same tone, which can kill their popularity: "Are you talking about me?"

Bai Shiqi lowered his head to peep at his face, and changed his words immediately: "No no, I mean wise and wise, and there is no last resort."

The corners of Zhao Wu Jiu's lips curved slightly, obviously it was very useful.

All the Wei people were driven back to the training ground by Luo Dajue, Shu Changfeng was five steps away, only Zhao Wujiu and Bai Shiqi walked side by side, walking in a wheelchair, but it did not hinder their chatting.

Zhao Wu Jiu felt that this situation was very warm, and it was rare to find a common topic, so he said, "I think the iron hooks from the iron shop are very useful." Or: "You win two games in a row. , but let the gang of guards be a lot more honest." After he finished speaking, he regretted a lot - why is it all business?

Zhao Ziheng's lesson is still in his ears. He has never bothered with women since he was a child. Bai Shiqi was the first, but if he really wanted to pick up the topic, he started again: "The guards were all stupid just now. The ones who lost were even more confused and thrown ashore...", collapse!

Shu Changfeng vaguely heard their conversation in the back, so he could not wait to come up to help his master to talk a little more, and secretly complained: You are not looking for a chief teacher, so you can't talk about private matters? Is it possible to bring the relationship between two people closer by talking about business?

However, Bai Shiqi seemed to be used to getting along with the Cao Gang people on weekdays, most of them were straight-forward, and he did not have the intention to delve into Zhao Wu Jiu's inner thoughts. The combat power on the water is not as good as that of my Cao Gang brothers."

Seeing Zhao Wu Jiu coming over, she just said like a miser hugging the purse, "No way! Don't hit my brothers! That's what I trained with a lot of effort. Besides, they are Ordinary people, and not the sergeants of the guardhouse, except that I take them out to suppress the bandits, and I can try my best to ensure their safety, I don’t worry about leaving it to others, not even you!”

Zhao Wu Jiu felt very heartbroken—it’s not even better than the little white face surnamed Chou, so in her heart, he was actually inferior to those of Cao Gang’s subordinates?

The truth is always cruel and sad.

He simply changed his personal topic and cared about his rival in magnanimity: "How is Qiu Ying?"

Bai Shiqi: "It's very bad." She also wanted to know what happened to Qiu Ying over the years, but neither the abacus nor he seemed to refuse to let her know the truth. She was separated from the truth by a layer of paper, and she couldn't see anything, but she always felt that something was wrong.

She sighed: "Take your time." Since Yiying appeared, she sighed several times more than before.
