How could this young man be so powerful as to be able to compete with the Governor?
Not just two hands, I think it's been nearly fifty rounds.
Fifty rounds? Even if you stand still, you have to sweat now, right? Not to mention the punches and kicks.
So they are experts and we are sailors.
The sailors were either looking up under the bridge or standing on other ships, watching the duel between the two men attentively.
Amid the thunder and wind, Di Jie punched Yin Xiu straight in the face. Yin Xiu twisted her feet, leaned forward, stretched out one hand, clamped Di Jie's arm, and then punched him in the face.
Di Jie's pupils shook, and seeing that he couldn't move away, he simply bumped into him, turned his fist into claws, and covered Yin Xiu's door.
At this moment, Yin Xiu suddenly withdrew the hand holding Di Jie's arm, causing the latter's restraint to be instantly released.
The force was too strong and Di Jie couldn't help but move forward. At this moment, Yin Xiu jumped up and hit him with a knee.
Di Jie blocked with both hands, staggered back a step, and the middle door opened wide.
Yin Xiu slid forward and reached out to lock Di Jie's throat.
Di Jie was shocked and slapped Yin Xiu with determination to die.
At this moment, Yin Xiu accidentally let go of his hand and turned around to retreat.
"What do you mean?" Di Jie looked ugly.
"It's not interesting."
Yin Xiu spread her hands and said, "Why don't we just call it a draw?"
"A tie?"
Just when Di Jie was about to refuse, he turned around and saw the sailors opening their eyes and looking at him.
After a pause, he swallowed his words, nodded to Yin Xiu and said: "This time, I will let you go."
"Thank you, sir!" Yin Xiu saluted with clasped fists.
He Zhenren was watching in a daze, as if he had never thought that Di Jie would lose the duel like this.
"Are you surprised?"
Liu Banxian put the pistol back into his pocket and patted He Zhenren on the shoulder.
He Zhenren was still in a daze at this time and asked: "Who is that person?"
"He? Yin Xiu, just a Taoist priest from Maoshan."
"Maoshan Taoist priest, this scene seems familiar to me."
He Zhenren said thoughtfully, "When I was studying in Longhu Mountain ten years ago, I slept in an ancient temple.
When I slept until midnight, I dreamed of a Taoist priest wearing a Xiaoyao scarf and a yellow Taoist robe, riding on colorful auspicious clouds.
I stood up, saluted him, and asked him: Where did the immortal master come from?
The man just smiled and said nothing, stretched out his hand and tapped my forehead three times, and then walked away. ”
"There seems to be no connection between the two."
Liu Banxian glanced at the red mark on He Zhenren's forehead and then at the pistol in his bag, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Maybe not, but maybe there is?
Some dreams are just a glimpse, without any foreshadowing or omen, but it is just a very strange dream. It is not intended to inspire anything, it is just for you to dream about. ”
"It's getting more and more mysterious."
Liu Banxian stood up and said to Zhenren He: "Anyway, remember not to do anything that damages your moral character in the future, otherwise this shot will eventually hit you."
He Zhenren ignored him, still thinking about the dream that was either true or false.
Ren Qi walked to Yin Xiu, pretended to support him, and whispered: "I thought you would kill him."
"Kill him?"
Yin Xiu was a little surprised, "If I kill him, do you believe those sailors will tear us into pieces?"
Ren Qi looked around and said, "I believe it."
"If you believe it, why don't you help me stabilize Di Jie?"
Ren Qi gritted his teeth, "Isn't this within our agreement?"
"This is part of the agreement, because it is related to Liu Banxian's life and death."
"Okay!"
Ren Qi glared at him, "But next time I hope you will think of me when you want to use the knife instead of asking me to do these weird things all day long."
"When you are in the arena, you can't help yourself." Yin Xiu shook his head.
"What a man who can't help himself!"
Ren Qi snorted from his nose and turned towards Di Jie, "Are you really going to let us go like this?"
"What if?"
Di Jie looked unkind, "Who do you think I am? I can't keep my word?"
"But I will." Ren Qi sneered.
"I know that you have always been like this. When fighting against the White Lotus Sect, you are too pure-minded and easily fall into their trap.
And I am different from you. I want to be the chief official of a province, so I have to be aboveboard, otherwise no one will obey me. ”
"Huh? Officials also have to be aboveboard? I always thought that as long as you are rich and powerful, and you have one mouth to eat and another to eat, that's fine."
"So you can't be an official, you can only be a soldier."
Knowing that this old classmate was just telling the truth, Ren Qi spread his hands and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. I am such a simple-minded person that I can only fight and dance with knives."
"You are not as simple as you say."
Di Jie smiled and looked at Yin Xiu again, his eyes darkening immediately.
"The reason why I became the Governor of Liangjiang was because of Prince Su's recommendation. I was not even considered by the Emperor at that time. It was because of his recommendation that I was able to get ahead.
But you killed him and left me with nowhere to repay those kindnesses. ”
Yin Xiu said calmly: "Whatever happens in the world, either you kill me or I kill you. If you are really angry, just ask me for revenge."
Di Jie's fist clattered, and he looked at Ren Qi, who looked a little nervous, and then he sighed, "You must take revenge, but not today, I said, I will let you go today. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly asked Ren Qi: "Where are you going? You must know that the reason why this route is not planned in the coastal defense is purely because of its changeable winds and complex hydrology.
Normal ships would avoid this section because it is thankless and involves a long journey.
I believe you came here for a reason, but I still can't understand it. ”
Ren Qi looked at Yin Xiu, his eyes obviously asking Yin Xiu if he could talk.
Yin Xiu didn't care, and just waved his hand casually at him, indicating that he didn't care whether Ren Qi said it or not.
"Don't worry, this is just idle chatter and will never be shared." Di Jie promised.
"Okay, we are going to Changbai Mountain."
"Changbai Mountain?"
Although he had vaguely guessed it before, Di Jie inevitably felt a strange feeling when the answer came out of Ren Qi's mouth.
"Why go to Changbai Mountain?" "The more you know, the more dangerous it is for you."
"I promise to keep it secret." Di Jie pointed three fingers to the sky.
"So I often say that you are a troublesome person, a very troublesome kind."
Ren Qi sighed, "Listen to the details..."
……
It's like listening to a strange story, with ups and downs and thousands of twists and turns.
Until Ren Qi finished speaking, Di Jie was still immersed in it and did not come back to his thoughts.
"Don't be so surprised. I just think this is an ordinary revenge, no big deal."
"For you, this may be just revenge, but for others, this is a great thing."
The way Di Jie looked at Yin Xiu and Liu Banxian no longer had the previous vigilance and hostility, but instead had a kind of respect that was visible to the naked eye.
"This is not an easy thing," he said sincerely.
"Nothing in the world is easy. Many people think that today's meals come from their own hands. Little do they know that their parents and ancestors have put in a lot of hard work. It is definitely not something that one person can do with just a little bit of strength. Can handle it clearly.”
Liu Banxian didn't take it seriously, "And it's hard to say whether it will succeed or not. Many things in the world end in vain, and people's wishes cannot be fulfilled."
"However, even so, a few people still did it without hesitation."
"As I said, it's just a gamble."
Yin Xiu waved his hand, "Of course there are many difficulties and obstacles involved."
Seeing Yin Xiu looking at him meaningfully, Di Jie realized that he was also one of these "difficulties and obstacles", and he was also quite a troublesome one.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Even if I know that the letter is fake, my allegiance is to the imperial court, not to Prince Su. Knowing that you are related, I naturally cannot leave it alone."
"What about now?" Yin Xiu asked him.
"Although the imperial court has indeed fallen behind, whether it is its spirit or anything else, it is obviously not suitable for this era. But I also believe that with people like Sun Zhongtang and General Li in the court, everything will be better. There is help.
If there are people who are good at reform, then there must be people who can protect the land. I think I can only do the latter. In this turbulent era, there must be someone who can protect the common people.
Although this is just the afterglow before sunset, by allowing these people to enjoy a comfortable life for a few more years, I, as a parent, have fulfilled my responsibility. As for the rest, to be honest, I can't tell the difference between right and wrong. ”
"How can people distinguish right from wrong in this world? This is not as simple as deciding a case."
"It is definitely not easy to decide the case."
Di Jie shook his head, opened his sleeves, and a golden waist badge fell out of his sleeves.
"Handsome guy, you have something..."
Before Liu Banxian finished speaking, Yin Xiu covered his mouth, and then he picked up his waist card as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, why don't you want something good? It's just stained with a little dust."
Yin Xiu hid the sign in the palm of his hand and took a look at it. He saw the five characters "Jiangning Prefecture Pass" written on it, which was obviously a token for customs clearance.
Ren Qi naturally knew what it was. He glanced at it and said, "This token only has five sides in the entire Jiangning Mansion. It is the highest level pass token. If any one of them leaks out, your head will be lost."
< br>
"Who dares to chop off the head of the Governor of Liangjiang?"
Di Jie smiled and said, "Besides, my token was stolen by traitors, fell off while walking, and was counterfeited. It's good that I don't cause trouble for the people below. There are still people who dare to cause trouble for me.
Not to mention, the complaints against me have to pass through my hands before they can be delivered to Yujing. ”
"Hey, Master Di is so powerful!" Ren Qi laughed rarely.
"Okay, let's go!"
Di Jie waved his hand, "After all, I am bending the law for personal gain this time. If you don't leave quickly, it will be difficult for me to explain to the superiors."
Ren Qi nodded, turned around and left with Yin Xiu and Liu Banxian.
"Hey!" Di Jie called.
"What's wrong?" Ren Qi turned around.
"It's nothing," Di Jie said with a smile, "Go early and come back early. If you hurry up, next year when the peach blossoms in Jiangning are in full bloom, we can still drink and chat in the pavilion by the river."
"You are so crazy!"
Ren Qi laughed, "Drinking with an imperial prisoner, do you really think that you, the governor of Liangjiang, are the emperor of the country?"
Saying that, Ren Qi waved his hand and turned to leave.
When Liu Banxian was about to greet Di Jie in the same way, he was grabbed by Yin Xiu and urged him to leave quickly.
"What kind of relationship does this have with you? What is your identity, saying hello to a court official? Aren't you afraid that he will think we are provoking him later and regret it and detain us?"
"It seems so."
Liu Banxian stuck out his tongue, quickly lowered his head and followed Yin Xiu off the boat, got on the connecting boat, and went back to the Black Widow.
Almost as soon as they returned to the Black Widow, the armored fleet, which looked like hills, cruised left and right to make way for the small ship.
"The three of them are really black and white." Sea Dog gave a thumbs up.
Their location was low and far away, and they had no idea what was happening on the fleet's flagship. During this period, they were just anxiously waiting for the results and restless.
But Ma Xiaoyu didn't care at all and just stayed in the cabin to sleep.
"Nothing."
Liu Banxian put his hands behind his back, "The governor of Liangjiang and so on are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, they will always have some beliefs.
He originally wanted to take action, but after hearing my name, he finally realized who I was and quickly asked someone to let him go! ”
"That's, that's Master Liu's name. Who doesn't know about it in the provinces, Hong Kong and Macao?" Sea Dog agreed.
Regardless of what they were talking about, Yin Xiu and Ren Qi just stood on the railing and looked at each other, separated from the jubilant sailors.
Behind them, black smoke spewed out from the chimneys of several ironclad ships, and at the same time they made loud noises, like giant horns, to bid them farewell.
Di Jie stood on the deck, covering his ears with his hands. After the sound subsided, he looked at He Zhenren next to him.
"What did you shout at the top of your lungs just now? I didn't hear you clearly."
He Zhenren pursed his lips, immediately forced out a smile, and said: "Sir, I mean we just let them go like this. Isn't it hard to explain?"
"Explain? As the governor of Liangjiang, who should I explain to?"
Di Jie opened his eyes wide, "And they are just a few rebellious officials and traitors. In this world, if you just throw a brick, you can smash out a few White Lotus Sect. Several rebellious gangs are here. How many more of them are there? A lot?" There’s no end to the thieves!”
"Yes, yes, you said it."
Hearing what Di Jie said, He Zhenren didn't know why, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
He also looked at the sea in the distance like Di Jie. The black widow was sailing away with her long tail, breaking through the water and staggering away.
"That's great." He Zhenren said with emotion.
"What?"
"Sir, I mean it's great that they are like this, they can go as they please."
"It's good. They left as soon as they left. Unlike us, we have to go back and deal with those rebellious officials and traitors."
"Ah?" He Zhenren was a little puzzled.
"It's that [Prince Su]. I'll prepare a dinner for them tomorrow night, White Lotus Sect, right? It's really a lot to miss them." (End of Chapter)
