Chapter forty-six fangtooth carp
Li Jian has been a water thief in Taihu Lake for a long time. In recent years, the world has been in troubled times, and his business has been getting worse every year. Although he dominated three or four large islands in Taihu Lake, opened up land and planted grain on the island, and ordered people to prey on Taihu Lake fish and shrimps, and could maintain business, but he was not a good person who came to be a good person, but wanted to share the money with big scales, drink wine in big bowls, and eat meat in big mouthfuls.
Earlier, robbing rich families was an important way to make money. Unfortunately, a large number of refugees are now moving south, enriching the garrison of rich families, so that fewer and fewer wealthy families can afford. Seeing that the village was about to collapse, Li Jian finally decided to find a big tree to rely on.
Just as Li Yan was ordered to come to Jiangnan to "marry" Xu Fo, and needed to find a place nearby that the government could not intervene, so he turned his attention to the 800-mile Taihu Lake water lake. The two hit it off, and because of the same surname, Li, they recognized the brothers of Lianzong.
Today, Li Yan was going to go to the outer village of Guijiayuan to lobby Xu Fo, which was a trick of forcing him to go all the way. Halfway through Qian Yiqun and his prostitute traveled to the lake, he happened to see Li Jian's ability, but in the end he encountered Qian Yiqun's tough "reply".
"A boat of brothers is gone! I can't swallow this!" Li Jiangao sat in the top seat of the water village, poured two large bowls of wine, and roared with a mouthful of wine.
Li Yan picked up the wine cup and drank it without saying a word. He was originally afraid of a master, but now he has added a strong enemy out of thin air.
"Brother, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have seen that I wouldn't flatten their farm!" Li Jian said angrily.
The Hongniang had been in love with Li Yan for many days. When the water thief complained about his sweetheart, he couldn't help but chorus: "Your hand is beautiful when you wear Yang in a hundred steps, but do you want to nail him to death just by relying on bamboo chopsticks? It's serious to gather people."
Li Jian was so choked that he didn't know how to tell the difference. He thought that he was indecent after all, so he buried his head in drinking a big bowl of wine.
After drinking the wine, the heart fire rose.
Recalling his first "100-step sweeping through the poplar", Li Jian was still a little excited. Those days made people cut countless bamboo arrows and wooden darts. No matter how big the wind and waves were, as long as you stare at the target and you can hit it with a swing. With the hard work of day and night, not only did you get farther and farther away, but your eyesight has also improved greatly, far beyond ordinary people.
Although it would be useless if it was replaced with iron arrows for some reason, there were not so many iron tools on the island for him to squander.
However, today, the rich young man not only was not intimidated by his own threat, but also directly destroyed a ship of brothers. Before he could use his unique skills, he was stopped by Li Yan. A man is a real man, what a bear thing to be able to avenge him?
"Brother, what kind of face did that young man have?" Li Yan asked softly.
Li Jian spat on the ground and portrayed the rich young man who was "dead dead after a thousand swords". He was rude and unwilling, and could only say "not tall or short", "the eyebrows and eyes are pretty bright", and "the mouth and nose are pretty straight". No one can guess what the person looks like from such a description.
Li Yan was well-educated and looked unrestrained and listened to Li Jian's gesture for half a day. Hong Niangzi and Liu Zongmin had already turned their heads over and shook their heads secretly.
"Oh! Brother, I've said so clearly, why can't you guess!" Li Jian himself became anxious.
The Hong Madam was about to say something to him when she saw a small minion pouring wine under the seat, winking at her as if she had something to say.
The minion's hair was not fully covered, and there was a ointment between his sparse hair, which was exactly what the Jiangnan people called the dysentery head.
"Master, the young man has also seen that young man. I would like to ask the two kings to identify him." Lu Litou was sitting on the fastest boat at that time, escaping from death and saving his life. He felt that he would have good luck in the future even more and more courageously. In the past, how dare he interrupt in such an occasion?
Li Yan was happy when he heard this and said, "You draw it quickly. If you draw it well, you will be rewarded."
The stingy head is also a strange flower among the water thieves. Although he can't write, he likes to draw on the mud on the shore. He usually draws some birds and beasts, and everyone says he is like it. Today he has the opportunity to make a name for himself. He now found a charcoal pen, took a white wooden board, and drew it carefully.
Li Yan waited for him to finish drawing, took it in his hand and looked at it, sighed, and handed it to Hongniang.
The Hongniang looked at it and exclaimed, "That kid actually has one move!"
Liu Zongmin hurriedly came over, took a look, his eyes widened, and said hatefully: "I didn't expect that boy would pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger!"
He was tied with a white cloth strap and covered with golden sores. Although the girls' swordsmanship was of ordinary quality, they secretly vomited spiritual essence, so the wounds were difficult to heal. As a result, Liu Zongmin was recovering from the village today and did not go with Li Yan. When he came back, he heard about the passing by, and was so angry that he smoked his head. Now when he saw this cruel and ruthless "fat sheep" turned out to be the rich man who was talkative and talkative.
"It may not be all bad things." Li Yan picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and thought, "He didn't use such powerful methods before, and he might be out of control, for fear of accidentally hurting his friendly army."
Although Hong Niang always felt that everything Li Yan said makes sense, she was quite dissatisfied with this sentence. She didn't see how this was considered "not all a bad thing."
"Wouldn't it be a waste of the big deal of the King of Chuang?" Liu Zongmin vomited a bitter breath, touching the wound on his body, and the pain made him unable to say anything below.
Li Yan snorted from his nostrils and said, "What a big deal? He just used a name to send us away."
The Red Lady never thought of this section, and exclaimed, "Why did he support us?"
"The rebel army is going to enter Jin this year. If the three of us are not here, what will happen?" Li Yan glanced at Hongmao and said to Li Jian, "Brother, I don't hide it from you. Although the rebel army is full of men, they may not be truly impressed by each other. Although the three of us are under the command of the King of Breaking King Gao Yingxiang, they sincerely admire the general Li Zicheng!"
Li Jian had long felt something was wrong. After hearing Li Yan's words, his face wrinkled together and said, "Brother, you are a scholar, don't you know that a master of the times is a hero? Why don't you follow the King of Chuang and follow a general?"
Li Yan stood up, walked for two steps, and said, "Brother, the rebel army now seems to be huge, but in fact it is a mess. Wang Jiayin's uprising was the earliest, and he did have the talent to use troops and won many times, but he was stubborn and self-conceited, and he was not the Lord of Destiny!"
"Oh..." Li Jian only knew that the northern rebel army was very powerful, but he had never heard of Wang Jiayin's name.
"Wang Jiayin has a general called Wang Ziyong. That man was also very ambitious and talented. He just bought it well, but he didn't have much talent, just like Liu Bei sang in Tanci Tao Qing." Li Yan said, "The King of Chuang Gao Yingxiang is his chief general."
Li Jian heard this and cried out in a secret voice: I thought I was still a leader after all, but I didn’t expect that after all, I was the younger brother of the other person. I was really hurt by this scholar!
Li Yan continued: "Looking at the thirty-six rebels, only Li Zicheng, the general, is a character. All of them are first-class in character. My brothers have long secretly expected him to be strong and not to become independent. Now my brother is going to join the gang. You might as well explain these words to your brother clearly so that he will not have doubts there again."
"Will the King Gao Chuang transfer you away to be unfavorable to Li Zicheng?" After Li Jian asked, he suddenly thought that this brother and the general Li Zicheng were both surnamed Li, and they were both from the northerners. Could it be that they are of the same clan?
How could he know that Li Zicheng is from Mizhi, Shaanxi, and Li Yan is from Qi County, Henan Province. Even five hundred years ago, it may not be a family. However, this misunderstanding caused him to have different closeness and distant relationships, and he also felt that Gao Yingxiang was a despicable villain who was jealous of the virtuous and capable.
"Even if the three of us are not here, General Li's subordinates have enough plans to charge him, but his territory in Jinzhong will be somewhat affected." Li Yan said.
"Oh, let's get on the road as soon as possible! Don't let the Gao surname rob our Li family of territory!" Li Jian said anxiously.
"If you can't get Xu Fo, how can you go back and hand in the job... Alas!" Li Yan tapped his head gently, "When I go back and take a nap and wake up, let's make a decision."
Li Jian thought it was indeed this problem. If he couldn't get Xu Fo, he would not be able to go back to work. If he didn't work, he would be occupied by someone... Alas, it seems that it is not reliable to join the rebel army. Perhaps it would be better to live comfortably on Taihu Lake! After all, in this world, he is the king of heaven. Why should he go to the barren and cold land to suffer and receive the layers of instructions?
Anything better than...
"Can sting, come here!" Li Jian sat upright and shouted at the minion standing guard at the door.
