The leader was eight feet long, with ape-like arms and wolf waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face as thick as a jujube; the two juniors behind him had ordinary looks, but they were quite similar, making it hard to tell them apart.

Zhu Biao looked at the visitor and smiled slightly. This person was the purpose of his detour to Jiangzhou.

Hunjianglong——Li Jun!!!

One hundred and eight generals in Liangshan are the most hidden characters.

He himself has strong abilities and popularity. He has high prestige among the Jiangzhou people in Liangshan and has outstanding vision. He rescued Song Jiang twice. He held an important position in Liangshan but kept a low profile. In the later period, he no longer recognized Song Jiang very much, but he was still able to

After repeatedly making military exploits under Song Jiang, he maintained his status, while "hiding his strength and biding his time" and looking for another way out. Finally, he met Fei Bao and others at Yuliuzhuang and saw an opportunity.

After pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, Li Jun followed the army. When he arrived in Suzhou, he pretended to have suffered a stroke and asked to keep Tong Wei.

Go and eventually become the Lord of Siam.

At this time, the two descendants behind him are probably the Tong brothers who followed Li Jun in the private salt business, namely Tong Wei, the dragon from the cave, and Tong Meng, the mirage from the river.

When the bows of the boats met, Li Jun jumped over fiercely. The water vapor on the river was rising. He had not seen it clearly from a distance just now, but now he saw Zhang Heng kneeling on the ground and hurriedly bowed his hands towards the cabin.

"Li Jun has met Mr. Taishan. He has long admired the young master's reputation for benevolence and righteousness. Meeting him today is a great comfort for his whole life."

Zhu Biao leaned out from the cabin, his eyes fell on Li Jun, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have heard about your reputation as a wandering dragon for a long time, but I don't know how brother Li Jun knew that Zhu was in the cabin."

When Li Jun heard this, he smiled and said bluntly: "Young Master and his party were in Jieyang Town to inquire about Li Jun's whereabouts, and they left his name and path. It's hard not to know about someone even if they don't want to. I heard the news in Jieyang Town this morning."

, and then came all the way towards the Xunyang River."

"Zhu came to Jiangzhou just to meet brother Li Jun. This river is not a place to talk, so let's go to Jiangzhou City to find a place to talk." Zhu Biao responded.

When Li Jun heard this, he turned around and said, "Why don't we go to Li's house to talk, so that Li Jun can fulfill his friendship as a landlord and entertain the young master and all the heroes."

Zhu Biao listened and nodded. At this time, Li Jun saw that the time was ripe and pointed at Zhang Heng who was lying on the board of the boat and said: "Sir, although this elder brother acted recklessly, luckily he did not make a big mistake. Please give me some advice."

Spare him this time."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and thought to himself: This Li Jun is evading the important and taking the easy, describing Zhang Heng's murderous behavior as reckless.

I don’t know how many evil deeds I have done and how many lives I have harmed. In this era when human life is as trivial as grass and grass, there are few heroes in the rivers, lakes and green forests who don’t have human lives on their hands. However, Zhang Heng’s harmful behavior is

Zhu Biao really looked down upon him.

I just hope that Biao is not a saint after all and will not kill anyone who does evil when he sees one. He helped Zhang Heng up and said meaningfully: "It's not like you can't make money just by punting a boat. The act of killing people and stealing goods will eventually end."

It’s shady. I heard that your two brothers still have an old mother alive, but don’t ask her to have her spine stabbed in the back.”

Hearing Zhang Heng's words, although he didn't care in his heart, he nodded straightly on his face. When Zhu Biao saw his appearance, he knew that this man was different from his brother. Although Zhang Shun had done bad things, he was not deeply involved.

It is also the utmost filial piety, but Chuan Huo'er has already committed evil and his nature is hard to change.

Li Jun was a man of exquisite skills, and of course he could see Zhu Biao's displeasure. He only asked Tong Wei and Tong Meng to cross a plank, and then asked Zhu Biao and others to change boats. After Zhu Biao and others changed boats, Li Jun walked at the end, patted Zhang Heng's shoulder heavily, and said meaningfully.

"Brother Zhang, what Mr. Zhu said is reasonable. You should take care of yourself."

After waiting for Tong Wei, Tong Meng sailed the boat away. Zhang Heng spat towards the river with cold eyes and cursed angrily: "Even Mr. Taishan came to take care of the master's work. Last year, when it rained in time, Song Gongming saw him." Master, instead of shouting like a hero, I’m trying to fool you, what are you doing? It’s really unlucky.”

...

Not long after, Tong Wei and Tong Meng docked the boat, and Li Jun led everyone for half an hour, through Jieyang Town, to a yard at the foot of Jieyang Ridge.

After entering the courtyard, brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng went to order people to kill pigs and sheep. Li Jun led Zhu Biao and others into the hall to talk. While walking and talking on the way back, Li Jun, Zhu Wu, Wu Song and others were We became acquainted with each other, and now we were seated in the hall, drinking tea and talking, but there was no longer the alienation and discomfort that we felt earlier.

After exchanging greetings for a moment, Li Jun cupped his hands towards Zhu Biao and said, "Just now, Young Master Jiang Shang said that he made a special trip to look for Li, but he didn't know why?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and said, "Zhu heard that brothers Li Jun, leading Tong Wei and Tong Meng, are engaged in the business of selling private salt. Is that true?"

"It's true." Li Jun didn't hide it. Everyone in Jieyang knew about it. Jiangnan is a place where illegal salt is rampant. There are countless people selling illegal salt. Li Jun didn't know why Zhu Biao asked about this. meaning.

Zhu Biao pondered slightly and continued: "But I am not interested in the private salt business. Everyone in Jiangzhou says that the water quality of Nalangli Baitiao Zhangshun is first-rate, but according to Zhu Biao, good water quality does not mean that he is good at water. Gao, brother Li Jun is so good at water, but he shouldn't be involved in the business of selling illegal salt."

After hearing this, Li Jun only smiled bitterly and said: "Li Jun really wants to be a naval commander, but he is not willing to take me."

"I want it." Zhu Biao looked straight at Li Jun and said seriously.

When Li Jun heard this, his body suddenly trembled, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he looked at Zhu Biao deeply and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean, Master?"

"Nowadays, a certain Dulonggang business has his sworn brother Li Ying and his wife's brother Feitianhu to take care of him, but it is developing steadily. However, he does not want to be limited to the Song Dynasty, so he wants to form a caravan in Dengzhou. , specializing in maritime trade, I would like to ask Brother Li Jun to be the person in charge, is it possible?" Zhu Biao looked at Li Jun and said meaningfully.

After hearing this, Li Jun was slightly silent. After a while, he cupped his hands towards Zhu Biao and said, "Master Meng is interested in me. Li Jun shouldn't refuse. But Li Jun's ambition is not to be the leader of a caravan."

Hearing Li Jun's words, Zhu Biao smiled and said incomprehensibly: "The caravan cannot be an ordinary caravan. The sea is very windy and rough, and there are often pirates. How can we not train some guards to protect ourselves?" Where’s the insurance?”

Li Jun was shocked and said to Zhu Biao: "Young master, you want me to train a navy at sea in the name of business?"

Zhu Biao nodded lightly and said: "A certain association will allocate three thousand people to the caravan, and you will command it. The sea area around the Song Dynasty is not calm now, and there are pirate attacks from time to time, but it is a good place for training troops."

Hearing this, Li Jun, who later became the founding leader of the country, could no longer hold back. He bowed to Zhu Biao and said seriously.

"I am willing to serve you, through fire and water, no matter what."

How could a person like Li Jun not understand the meaning of Zhu Biao's words? Can the navy be trained by ordinary people? What kind of people would train a navy? What is the use of training?
