"Those boxes of belongings are..."
Gan Ning was about to answer the call when suddenly his IQ went up.
"You're deceiving me!"
"Captain Su, there are some methods that only need to be used once. If you use them all the time... or several times a day... then it won't be interesting."
"Could it be that you think I'm just a stupid kid for you to play with?"
Gan Ning glared at Su Fei, and all the goodwill he had towards Su Fei was gone.
Su Fei sneered and said, "Brother Gan just admitted it himself. You are leading these 800 people to defect to Yuan Yao tonight. Shouldn't this governor doubt you?"
Gan Ning was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain.
Although he did have the intention to seek refuge with Yuan Yao, he did not collude with Yuan Yao, at least not yet.
As for Yuan Jun's attack on the camp tonight, he did not participate.
It's all just a coincidence!
But Su Fei didn't believe it.
Although he knew that Gan Ning was a water pirate and was known as the "Jinfan Thief", he was even more interested in Gan Ning's bravery and talent.
This is the reason why he personally led the fleet out of the stronghold to welcome him tonight.
But as a senior civil and military officer of the Jingzhou Group, Su Fei also knew some details about Gan Ning, and knew that he was in exile in Jingzhou because of his failure in rebelling against his master.
Although the cause of that incident was that Liu Biao sent Liu He to induce Gan Ning and others, but a slap in the face could not make a difference. If Gan Ning had not rebelled, how could Liu He's plan to induce rebellion be successful?
Even though Gan Ning and Gan Xingba are really rare and brave generals, perhaps this person does not have the quality of "loyalty".
Su Fei thought so.
"You have nothing to say, Gan Ning!"
"You are just rebelling against Liu Zhang. My lord Liu Biao is kind enough to take you in, but you are stubborn and ungrateful. You have not rebelled enough, and you have colluded with Yuan Yao to plot against our Jiangxia County?"
"I'm telling you, you didn't succeed last time, and it won't work this time either!"
Su Fei waved his hand and said fiercely.
Gan Ning was so scolded by Su Fei that he was confused. Was he being tricked into rebelling again?
Why don't you know?
Could it be that those little guys colluded with Yuan Yao?
That's not right. It was obviously his own initiative to seek refuge with Yuan Yao, but each of the younger members of the group had a louder objection than the other.
Seeing Gan Ning speechless, Su Fei thought he had exposed Gan Ning's true face and laughed even louder.
"Gan Ning, you who seek glory behind your back and commit rebellion against your superiors, take my sword!"
As Su Fei said this, he touched his waist again.
This time it was empty again. Under his cloak, he was only wearing a nightgown.
Damn it!
I forgot to wear all my clothes when I went out!
The second time!
Fortunately, Gan Ning didn't have any weapons on him.
Gan Ning also saw Su Fei's movements and reacted immediately.
This Su Fei is going to do something to himself!
He knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, and even if he could, Su Fei would probably only be willing to listen to his explanation after catching him.
But if he takes action first, wouldn't he be guilty of collaborating with the enemy?
"Come here, give it to the governor..."
Seeing Su Fei retreating and shouting orders, Gan Ning no longer hesitated, bent his knees and charged forward, a pair of tiger claws coming straight towards Su Fei's throat.
Chen Ju and Zhang Shuo both returned to their posts and commanded the warship to turn in, while the lower-level soldiers on the ship were busy with their own affairs. There was no one else around Su Fei at this time.
Su Fei did not have a sword on his waist. Even if he had a sword, he and Gan Ning would not be able to draw it in time due to the distance between him and Gan Ning.
Fortunately, Su Fei was capable of both literary and military skills. Seeing Gan Ning's attack, he retreated and raised his hand to fight Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was fierce and used all his strength as soon as he came up. Although Su Fei was not bad in strength, he was still a bit behind Gan Ning.
However, Su Fei had not really seen Gan Ning's strength, and thought that his strength was superior. Instead of turning around and running away, he chose to force Gan Ning back.
But he was no match for Gan Ning. Gan Ning grabbed Su Fei's throat with just three moves.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Gan Ning had Su Fei's life firmly in his hands, and only then did the surrounding Lou Chuanshi look over.
Who is that man? What is he doing behind the Governor?
He went out of the cabin without wearing armor. Don't you know that the military governor has strict discipline, and if the three-tone drum is not neatly dressed and goes out of the cabin, he will be punished with a cane of thirty?
No, why is he grabbing the governor's throat?
"No, the governor has been captured by thieves!"
Finally, some soldiers who understood the situation reacted.
"Bold Gan Ning, what do you want to do?"
Chen Jiu, who had just finished giving orders, saw this scene when he came back. He was so frightened that he pointed at Gan Ning and yelled.
"Are you going to rebel?"
"Pooh!"
Gan Ning spat fiercely: "Don't mention the word rebellion to me. In your eyes, do I, Gan Ning, only rebel?"
"You thief, let me go!"
Su Fei's Adam's apple was pinched tightly, but he could still speak, but it was very difficult.
It was okay that he didn't speak, but when he spoke, Gan Ning became furious. He locked Su Fei's neck with his arms and looked like he was going to break Su Fei's neck.
"You are the thief, and your whole family is a thief!"
"I only rebelled once, but I was deceived by Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou!"
"Without your lord, perhaps I would have been the general of Yizhou by now, and Zhao Wei's Zhonglang General of Zhengdong should also be mine!"
Gan Ning had a pair of thick ape arms, and his muscles were even more exposed at this time. Coupled with his ferocious face, he looked extremely terrifying.
Su Fei, who was usually known as a strong man in the army, was like a white-faced scholar with no strength in Gan Ning's hands. Not only was he unable to speak a word, but his hands and feet were also kicking randomly.
At this moment, as long as Gan Ning exerted a little more force, he could really twist Su Fei's head off.
Chen panicked. He had never encountered such a scene before and stammered: "You, you, you... you are not rebelling..."
Hearing this, Gan Ning's mood finally eased a bit, but unexpectedly Chen had the second half of his sentence:
"Aren't you rebelling?"
"Let go of the Governor, and I will spare your life as a traitor!"
Just as Su Fei was able to take a breath, Gan Ning's ape arm strangled him tightly again, and this time Gan Ning used even more force.
"Once again, I am not a rebel!"
"Who did I offend? Yuan Yao attacked your camp at night. What does it have to do with me?"
"Even if I, Gan Ning, admire the heir apparent of the Yuan family, what does it have to do with what happens tonight?"
Su Fei's eyes were almost squeezed out, and his face turned the color of pig liver.
Chen Ji hurriedly said: "No, no, no, you are not a rebel. As long as you let go of the Governor, we can discuss anything about your committing a crime of rebellion!"
If looks could kill, Su Fei could now shoot Chen into five hundred transparent holes.
Gan Ning was so sad and angry that he could only look up to the sky and shout: "God, do you really want to treat me, Gan Xingba, like this?"
"Even if I was young and frivolous, I became a water bandit, robbed people, and fled in hiding... That was just because I was young and ignorant..."
"But didn't I change my mind and become a new person later on?"
Chen looked at Su Fei who kept rolling his eyes and said anxiously: "It would be nice to change your mind. Who doesn't have time when they are young..."
"Everyone in their twenties is in the prime of youth. I committed a murder in my twenties, and now I am no longer a good man, and I have become a captain!"
"Bah!" Gan Ning spit on Chen Jiu's face: "Who in their twenties still says that he is young and energetic!"
Chen Jiu: "Brother Gan, are you seventeen or eighteen years old, or are you a thief at the age of fifteen or sixteen?"
"Thirteen years old! Thirteen years old! I just took first blood!"
"The first time I killed someone, I didn't know how to kill. Blood splashed all over my face, and I was almost killed by that person's companion!"
"and after?"
"Idiot, I must have closed my eyes when the blood spurted out. How could I continue killing if I couldn't see? Then I killed three of his companions by myself!"
Chen's eyes widened: "You killed four people by yourself at the age of thirteen?"
"Otherwise? Could it be that they killed me? Then how did I get here today!"
"What a brave young man!"
"I was still playing in the mud when I was thirteen!"
"You're still playing in the mud when you're thirteen? I stopped playing when I was eight!"
A group of boatmen behind Chen Jiu also started discussing.
Although human life is said to be worthless in this era, I have never heard of anyone who dares to kill someone at the age of thirteen, one against four!
Everything is most vividly remembered for the first time.
Not to mention something as important as getting "first blood".
Gan Ning finally relaxed a little as he talked about the past, and his arm around Su Fei relaxed a little.
"Let go of Ben..."
Just as Su Fei was about to speak, Gan Ning remembered other past events, and became excited and worked harder.
"Later, when I was in my twenties, I got tired of burning, killing and looting every day. Once I killed an official. Looking at his official seal, I also wanted to try what it's like to be an official..."
"Wait a minute, why did you jump from thirteen to twenty-something all of a sudden? What did you do in the meantime?"
"Hey, you don't know?"
"Have you never heard of the 'Jin Sail Thief' from Ba County? No, no, no, you don't need to know that I am the leader of the 'Jin Sail Thief'. Didn't Su Fei tell you?"
Chen Ju and others shook their heads like rattles.
"I don't know this, just listen!"
"Speaking of which, I became famous after I killed someone for the first time. People from all over the country called me Gan Xingba, "I have little strength," I'm a good ranger, and so on. I understand that I have little strength, but what is a ranger? I really don’t know!”
"Anyway, I'm famous anyway. Even though the four people I killed at the beginning were thieves who stole auntie's pants, I'm still famous!"
"But there is a certain person in our hometown who claims that I have robbed him of his work. Instead, he falsely accuses me of being a thief who stole auntie's underpants!"
"Can I bear this?"
"I can't bear it, I can't bear it, my uncle can't bear it, my aunt can't bear it!"
Everyone was filled with indignation.
"That Youyou is also very powerful. I attacked him once, but he dodged one of my arrows and chased me for eight miles, shouting that he wanted to catch me and rip my skin off!"
"If he didn't have four or five men, how could I have allowed him to chase me if I was alone?"
"I was so anxious that I jumped into the river; hey, we don't have any other skills but holding our breath is the best. I held it in the river for half an hour, watching him go back and forth and search all the cracks in the rocks before leaving. Well, I even caught two grass carps before they showed up!"
"Fortunately, we have become famous, so we found four or five good people from the countryside. I taught these people how to open their eyes and hold their breath in the river, and then ambush the Youyou under the bridge, and kill the Youyou and the five of them in one go. All the brothers were stabbed to death in the river!"
"Brother Gan is awesome!"
Chen Ju took the lead in applauding, and everyone also applauded Gan Ning's magical skills.
"Then how did 'Jinfan Thief' get its name?"
"Yes, yes, come on, tell me this, I'm willing to pay to hear it, tell me now, tell me now!"
"Ahem, let's continue talking about this later."
"After I killed that Youyou, no one in the countryside knew about it, and then someone asked me to be a caravan guard."
"My old Gan family is not a wealthy family. They moved from Nanyang to Bajun and didn't live a happy life in one day. They ran out of money and food."
"My father held my hand before he died and asked me to study the scholars left at home and become an official or something in the future!"
Gan Ning shed a few tears when he mentioned his father.
"But those boxes of bamboo slips make me feel dizzy as soon as I see them. Besides, it won't be a few years before I can become an official by studying. Am I not eating or drinking? Or something?"
"I had no choice but to make a living, so I took my brothers and worked as guards for wealthy families. It was fine at first, but one time, a landowner scolded me when he saw me."
"You say that I, Gan Ning, have such a famous name, but it turns out that I am just a fourteen-year-old boy. I am not as tall as his daughter, and I am not worthy of guarding his home and nursing home!"
"Can I bear it?"
"I can't bear it, I can't bear it, my uncle can't bear it, my aunt can't bear it!"
Everyone was filled with indignation again.
"Yeah, so there's nothing wrong with me cutting him!"
"But when I led my brothers to kill all eighteen members of his family, I discovered a big problem!"
"what is the problem?"
Everyone was puzzled.
"His family had too much money and food. A dozen of us brothers couldn't take it away before the officers and soldiers arrived! We could only take away the money and silk we could, and burn the rest."
"Who would have known that no one would ask me, Gan Ning, to be a bodyguard anymore, but I have to support my dozen brothers, and I can only fall into the trap!"
"I don't know if the grass falls, but I will be frightened when the grass falls!"
"What's wrong? Are the officers and soldiers coming to encircle and suppress us?"
Most of the people present were from poor backgrounds, and in everyone's heart there was a landowner and gentry they hated. Therefore, when they heard that Gan Ning had killed a family of eighteen, they did not feel any resistance. On the contrary, everyone felt happy.
"It's so exciting to turn the grass into a bandit!"
"Guard the caravan as it passes by. If there is anything to eat, someone will naturally feed it to our mouth!"
"There are mountains and rivers in Bajun. We can go up mountains and down rivers, and there is nothing we can't do! Within half a year, I also became the king of the mountains, and there were three to four hundred people who took refuge with my brothers."
"Of course, we are not ordinary thieves. Ordinary thieves don't live long! If we want to be the most powerful and violent thieves! Jinfan thieves! Only in this way can we gather more brothers!"
As a child of Chen Jiuliang's family, he didn't quite understand, "What can a bandit do to be so arrogant?"
"Can you defeat the regular soldiers of the country?"
Gan Ning glanced at him: "You are ignorant at first glance!"
"First let me tell you what 'hao' means!"
At this time, Su Fei took advantage of Gan Ning's talk and finally broke away a little, allowing himself some room to breathe.
"I, I, I...I know, let me tell you!"
Afraid that Gan Ning would continue to strangle him so that he couldn't breathe, Su Fei quickly spoke out.
"It is said that Brother Gan and others were traveling at that time, displaying their chariots and horses on foot, and connecting the boats by water. The attendants were dressed in brocade, and they were dazzling wherever they went. When they stayed, brocade was often used to maintain the boats, and when they left, they were Cut it off and throw it away to show your wealth and luxury.”
"If this isn't trench, then there really won't be anything in the world that can be called trench!"
Gan Ning burst out laughing, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"Brother Su knows a lot about my past!"
"In that case, Brother Su, tell me how I did it!"
Su Fei took several deep breaths, but did not dare to resist.
Because Gan Ning broke a flagpole with one hand, and the flagpole was originally a spear, Gan Ning casually broke off the spearhead like a wheat straw and put it in his armpit.
"I heard that Brother Gan led people to wander around in Ba County to catch the autumn wind. Whenever he went out, everyone would carry bows and arrows, with bird feathers on their heads and bells on their bodies. When the people heard the bells ringing, they would know it was Brother Gan and you. arrive."
"Because the Bashu region specializes in Shu brocade, and the decorative item that Brother Gan usually uses the most is Shu brocade. Therefore, Brother Gan and your brothers are named 'Jinfan Thieves'. I don't know if I am right."
Gan Ning smiled and nodded: "That's right."
"I didn't expect Brother Su to be so precious about my past!"
Gan Ning pointed the tip of his spear at Su Fei's armpit while watching the surroundings.
"Su Fei, don't blame me. What happened tonight was not what I expected, but I had no choice but to make mistakes."
Gan Ning hugged Su Fei and whispered in Su Fei's ear.
Su Fei was about to cry, but he knew in his heart that Gan Ning was deliberately delaying time by saying so much.
The building ship had already completed turning its rudder, and hundreds of warships had also turned around. Gan Ning's eight hundred brothers were already safe.
At this time, Su Fei was 100% convinced that he had fallen into Yuan Yao and Gan Ning's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Not only that, Gan Ning also used a strategy to capture the thief first, and asked Yuan Yao for credit with his own head.
Although Chen Jiu kept complimenting and obeying Gan Ning on the surface, he knew very well in his heart that Gan Ning's arm strength could break Su Fei's neck in one second.
If he hadn't answered and complimented her, Su Fei would have died long ago.
If Su Fei died, as Su Fei's lieutenant, he would definitely be killed by Huang Zu, who was impatient and irritable.
