The twentieth year of Yongtai, the third day of February.
After bidding farewell to Taoist Liang, Shuang Xie and his party drove non-stop for four days.
In the past four days, they didn't encounter anything that delayed their trip, so it didn't take long for them to pass through the Miao Jiang area, and on the morning of the third day of the lunar new year, they arrived in the He County area under the rule of Pingle Prefecture.
In terms of time, their long journey undoubtedly went very quickly.
It's just... this "fastness" comes at a price - not to mention the fatigue of the people, but the key point is that their horses are almost exhausted.
After all, the horses they were riding were not "thousand-mile horses" in the first place, just ordinary horses. In addition, after the seven of them came out of Fushun, they trekked through mountains and rivers for seven consecutive days, and never rested for more than one night. Therefore, these horses It’s not easy to persist until this point.
At noon that day, seven people were sitting under a roadside tea shed drinking tea, and were discussing how to proceed: should they change horses, or take the water route?
They were only halfway through their words when they heard the sound of carriages and horses suddenly coming from the southeast road.
The ones with better ear skills among the seven people knew immediately that the source of the sound was at least twenty or thirty people, and there were more people than horses, and more horses than cars.
Sure enough, within a moment, the team of dozens of people arrived at the tea shed from far to near.
Immediately afterwards, the group of big and thick men on horseback dismounted one after another and surrounded the tea shed.
When the tea shed owner and other guests saw these people approaching in a menacing manner, and most of them looked hateful, they understood in their hearts: This must be people from the rivers and lakes or on the green forest road who are looking for trouble, and their targets are probably those bandits. The young man with the sword and the black uncle.
How the people of Dashu handle this kind of scene has been mentioned more than once before. Anyway, they just run when they can, hide when they can... It depends on the situation and watch the excitement.
So what is the situation now?
"Get out of the way!" Not long after, with a soft shout, a young man in his mid-twenties walked out from the group of big men; judging by his words and demeanor, and the attitude of other big men obediently giving way. , it is not difficult to guess that he is the leader of this group of people.
This young man's movements were also nimble. After walking out of the crowd, he strode to the two tables where Shuangxie and the other seven were sitting, and then he knelt down with a cry.
Before his knees hit the ground, the young man's hands were already clasped in front of his fists, and he said excitedly: "Brother Sun! Brother Huang! Long time no see! Do you still remember brother?"
Seeing this, some people may have guessed the identity of this person, so I won't tell you anything. The book endorses here that this is the Jianghu thief Gan Feihong he met on the Yangtze River when Shuangxi first came out.
I think back then, Gan Feihong pulled a team on the Yangtze River, claiming to be a descendant of Gan Ning, and even made up the name "A dragon on the Yangtze River, Gan Feihong with both sword and bow", doing the job of "robbing the rich and giving to the poor, The activity of "doing justice for heaven".
Unexpectedly... one day, he accidentally robbed Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.
That time, under Sun Yixie's deception, Gan Feihong confusedly recognized them as his eldest brothers, and the rhetoric Sun Yixie used to fool him was roughly - "I and Hao Jingyu, the boss of Green Forest Road Waterway It’s a brother, as long as I give you a few nice words, I will ensure that you can successfully join the 13th Green Forest Path and quickly rise to the top.”
Everyone, what Sun Yixie said at that time was obviously nonsense. He never thought that he would see him again in this life.
But Gan Feihong took it seriously, and this matter has indeed come true now.
What's going on? To put it bluntly, there are mistakes.
One day in the winter of the year before last, Hao Jingyu took the Cangdu Gang across the river, and happened to pass near the ferry where Gan Feihong was entrenched.
As for Gan Feihong, he thought that Brother Sun had brought the "good words" to him, and that Brother Hao should be here to recruit him, so he took the initiative to come to the door and said bluntly: "I am Gan Feihong, the grandson of Sun Yixi." The eldest brother’s younger brother wants to see Gang Leader Hao.”
If you say this, people must take it seriously...
First of all, many followers around Hao Jingyu also knew "Mr. Sun of Hangzhou", and they knew that Sun Yixie had some friendship with their boss.
Secondly, in the autumn of that year, Sun and Huang had already become famous in the Young Heroes Association, and in the winter, it happened to be the time when the uncle was publicizing their "Eastern Harmony and Western Poison" in all walks of life, so even if they watched The people at Men'er didn't know that Sun Yixie and Hao Jingyu were friends, and they didn't dare to rush Gan Feihong away.
Therefore, the words were quickly brought to Hao Jingyu's ears.
Nahao Jingyu heard the message and thought to himself: "What? Sun Yixie's younger brother? Well... regardless of whether it is true or not, let's meet him first and then talk about it." Then he met the other party.
Gan Feihong was stunned for a moment and had no sense of authority. When he met Hao Jingyu, a quasi-leading figure on the green forest road, he worshiped him with admiration and admiration.
As for Hao Jingyu, he is a good person. If the other person lies or there is something strange in his words or expression, he can basically tell it. So after exchanging a few words with Gan Feihong, he roughly understood this kid. I really know Sun Yixie, and he is indeed just a stupid boy.
These two people - one thought that Sun Yixie and Hao Jingyu were brothers, the other thought that Gan Feihong was Sun Yixie's younger brother... Under the double misunderstanding, they became friends.
After chatting for a while, Hao Jingyu heard that the other party actually wanted to bring a group of brothers to follow him to make a living, so he would welcome it; even if Gan Feihong did not have the important status of "Sun Yixie's younger brother" today, he could directly find him If he comes and recommends himself, Hao Jingyu will most likely accept him, because Hao Jingyu has always been very good at judging people, and he can see that Gan Feihong is indeed a good man; and with Sun Yixie as his relationship, Hao Jingyu will He was even more willing to accept Gan Feihong, because this was equivalent to making Sun Yixie owe him a favor... Of course he was willing to make a deal that would not lose money no matter what.
In this way, from that moment on, Gan Feihong leaned against the big tree Hao Jingyu.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year later, Gan Feihong is now an effective member of Hao Jingyu's staff. Today, he got a task that suits him very well - to come here to welcome Sun Huang and others to leave Guangzhou by water as soon as possible.
What? You ask him why he knows the whereabouts of Sun Huang and others, and why he rushes to take them to the muddy water of the Green Forest Road?
Damn, didn't we just say at the beginning of this volume that Hao Jingyu is "facing the court". Now the people in the court need a double harmony to handle the "leading case", and he has to avoid suspicion, so what about the Cangdu Gang? Isn't it normal to act as a "white glove"?
Back to business...
Gan Feihong's kneeling ceremony shocked everyone around him. Not only the other guests, but also several people traveling with Shuang Xie were confused.
"Hey~ Brother, you are out of town now, please get up quickly!" At this time, Sun Yixie was still quick to respond. He immediately showed a very hearty smile, and stood up to help him while speaking.
But in fact... he didn't recognize the other party at all.
This is also normal. For Gan Feihong, Sun Yixie is his benefactor, and he has a very distinctive appearance, so he can quickly recognize him; but for Sun Yixie, Gan Feihong is just a person who lives in the same place. The Erlunzi who met him once and had a few words with him half a year ago, coupled with the other person's clothes and demeanor at this time, are no longer what they used to be... It would be strange if he could recognize him.
"Thank you, Brother Sun." After Gan Feihong was helped up by Sun Yixie, he grabbed the latter's arm, still looking excited, "Brother Sun..." He said, then looked at Huang Donglai next to him, "Brother Huang... I haven't seen you for more than a year. The two brothers are really getting smarter and more powerful! Hahaha..."
Don't think this guy is just flattering you, he actually means it from the bottom of his heart.
Because the last time Gan Feihong saw Shuangxi, they were both new to the world. Although one was good at martial arts, he had very little actual combat experience, and the other was almost an amateur. Neither of them had any "jianghu spirit". , so they look like two ordinary dudes.
But today, both Sun and Huang have been fighting in the martial arts for a while, and each has gone through a lot of experience. Their momentum is naturally different from that of back then.
Of course, when it comes to "wise and powerful", that's not the case. It's just that Gan Feihong is an admirer of these two people, and the filter deep in his heart automatically makes them great.
on the other hand……
After hearing Gan Feihong's words, "I haven't seen him for more than a year," Sun and Huang immediately began to search their hearts out, trying desperately to recall what they were doing more than a year ago, and repeatedly asked themselves in their hearts - what exactly is this grandson? who is it?
"Haha... It's easy to talk." After all, Sun Yixie, a fish market giant, has rich negotiation experience. After two seconds, he had an idea and replied, "Brother, you are not bad at it. Compared with more than a year ago, , It’s like a different person.”
His round of clichés did not convey any special information. He just repeated the time point of "more than a year" mentioned by the other party himself, and pointed out a ready-made fact in front of him, that is, the other party was "doing well".
But at first glance, this sounds quite natural...
"That's all thanks to you, brother." Gan Feihong also said, and the next sentence was tricked out with more specific information, "If I hadn't met the two brothers at that time, I'm afraid my brothers and I would still be on the Yangtze River now. He's doing the work of the river thieves."
When he said this, Shuang Xie suddenly remembered: "Oh! It's your boy. He seems to be named Gan or Shuang Jue."
"Brother Gan Xian." The next second, Huang Donglai still didn't remember because he was afraid of Sun Yixie, so he quickly stood up and told the other party's surname, and then asked, "I wonder where you are now and what title do you hold?"
"Oh...I..." Gan Feihong was about to reply, but the rest of his light swept across the crowd of onlookers in the distance who were looking away, causing him to swallow back the words that came to his lips, " Uh...brothers, there are so many people here and it's inconvenient to speak..." He said, then he gestured to a few empty carriages behind him, "I have prepared the carriages and horses, why don't you invite the two of you? You and these young heroes will get into the car with us first... let's talk in a safe place."
