After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing designed to snatch Zhao Ding's manuscript, they immediately went to Lin'an to find a boat. After the two came to the river, they saw a small boat paddling in the waves in the distance on the vast river. Fu Tianpeng quickly waved to the boatman and motioned for him to come over.
After hearing Fu Tianpeng's call, the boatman quickly rowed the boat towards the shore. As he approached, the boatman told Fu Tianpeng in a rich voice that the price per person on the boat was ten taels of silver, so he couldn't negotiate the price. After hearing what the boatman said, Fu Tianpeng looked at the man carefully. The boatman wore a worn-out bamboo hat with the brim so low that it was impossible to see his face clearly. However, this man was tall, strong and strong, with a body over one foot tall standing on the bow of the ship, like a black tower.
Zhao Xueqing saw the boatman stepping on the side of the boat with his feet apart, walking on flat ground in the waves. She quietly said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, this boatman seems to be an expert, and his water skills are very good. We need to be careful about him after we get on the boat."
Fu Tianpeng coughed slightly to show his knowledge. Then he replied to the boatman that as long as he could take the boat, he would get a lot of money. But there was one thing. He asked the boatman to send the two of them to Lin'an as soon as possible.
The boatman responded and called Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to board the boat.
After the two got on the boat, the boat cut through the waves and quickly reached the center of the river like an arrow. The boatman began to sing: "Grandpa was born between heaven and earth. He is not afraid of the court or officials. A dragnet is cast in the water, and the turtle and the bastard are inside."
The boatman sang and said to Fu Tianpeng: "Sir, what do you think of the scenery here?"
Fu Tianpeng looked around and replied to the boatman: "Green mountains, rippling blue waves, beautiful mountains and clear waters are a good place."
The boatman laughed loudly after hearing this, and said to Fu Tianpeng: "Since our guest likes this place so much, I will ask you to get off the boat here and enjoy the scenery."
After saying that, the boatman raised his pedals to overturn the boat. Fu Tianpeng's anger sank into his dantian, he pressed with both palms, and used a thousand-jin pendant to keep the ship's balance. The boatman smiled at Fu Tianpeng, picked up the long pole and hit him on the head. Zhao Xueqing waved the Chanjuan sword and chased the stars and the moon straight to the boatman. The boatman felt the sharp sword energy approaching, jumped back, and dived into the bottom of the water.
When the boatman entered the river, he really felt like a fish in water. I saw waves of eddies rolling up around the hull, and the boat began to spin around. Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, this boatman wants to overturn the boat. Listen to my message and use your true energy to knock him out."
Fu Tianpeng nodded. He pretended to be panicked and shouted on the boat. After the boatman got the news, he swam to the side of the boat and stretched out his arms to pick up the boat. He believed that his whole body was submerged in the water, and there was nothing Fu Tianpeng could do against him. But at the moment when the boatman took action, Fu Tianpeng activated his true energy and hit the cow across the mountain. With the help of the power of the water waves, the boatman was stunned.
The unconscious boatman lay on his back in the water like a belly fish. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing worked together to pull him onto the boat. Zhao Xueqing picked up the long pole and started to punt the boat. Fu Tianpeng was shocked when he saw this and said: "Sister Qing, I didn't expect you to be able to do this."
Zhao Xueqing's pretty face blossomed, she smiled at Fu Tianpeng and said, "Brother Tianpeng, don't forget that I am from the Long Whale Gang."
After hearing this, Fu Tianpeng patted his head and smiled at Zhao Xueqing. The two of them were enjoying the scenery and rowing, and they didn't feel bored anymore. Time passed slowly. After the boatman spit out water, he slowly opened his eyes. Fu Tianpeng said to him: "How is it? Do you sleep well in the water?"
The boatman saw a bright smile on Fu Tianpeng's handsome face, and he knew that the other man did not take what had just happened to his mind at all. The boatman's face was red at this time. He said to Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing: "The younger one's name is Ruan Liang, and he is the son of Ruan Xiaoer, a hero in Liangshan, Tai Sui. They make a living by fishing in the waters in this area. I saw the two of them holding boxes, so I decided to Steal the property and go back to treat my illness."
After hearing Ruan Liang's words, Fu Tianpeng clenched his fists at him. Fu Tianpeng said: "It turns out that my brother is a descendant of Zhongliang. It is really disrespectful and disrespectful."
Ruan Liang thanked him repeatedly and asked Fu Tianpeng about his origins. Fu Tianpeng told him frankly, and Ruan Liang was in awe after hearing this. Fu Tianpeng saw Ruan Liang's extraordinary skills, so he told him sincerely that now that the Jin soldiers were marching into the Central Plains, the two saints were being humiliated in the Five Kingdoms City, the man had learned martial arts and dedicated them to the emperor's family. Your father was loyal throughout his life, and you should inherit his last wish and serve the country loyally.
Fu Tianpeng's words sounded like enlightenment to Ruan Liang. He said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother's words have pointed me out. I am willing to join the army and make contributions."
Fu Tianpeng was very happy after hearing Ruan Liang's words. He took out his personal token and gave it to Ruan Liang, asking him to go to Aihua Mountain to find Yue Fei. After Ruan Liang took the token, he said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Fu, we hit it off right away. I want to be friends with Babai and become a sworn brother-in-law with Jinlan. We will share blessings and share hardships in the future."
Fu Tianpeng told Ruan Liang that he also had such a plan in mind. Facing the green mountains and green waters, the two swore an oath and became brothers. Ruan Liang is the elder brother and Fu Tianpeng is the younger brother. After becoming sworn brothers, Ruan Liang asked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing what they were doing in Lin'an this time.
When Ruan Liang asked about it, Fu Tianpeng told him that because Qin Hui sent people to burn Prime Minister Zhao's manuscript, he tried his best to snatch it from the hands of the army and prepared to go to the capital to hand it to Grand Master Li Gang. Nowadays, only Taishi Li can shoulder the important task of protecting books.
As soon as Fu Tianpeng finished speaking, Ruan Liang took over and said: "The traitor Qin Hui was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and framed Zhongliang, just like Cai Jing and Tong Guan back then. His bullshit talk of south from south, north from north, It’s simply betraying the country and seeking glory.”
Ruan Liang cursed so loudly that he forgot that Zhao Xueqing was still on the boat. He said to Zhao Xueqing: "Brother and sister, look, I am a reckless person. I scolded me so hard that I forgot you were here. Haha."
As soon as he spoke, Zhao Xueqing's face shone brightly with the red glow, like a ball of fire. Ruan Liang patted his head again and said with a smile: "I said the wrong thing again. When the two of them get married, my brother will definitely prepare a good gift."
The three of them talked and laughed all the way, sailing on the light boat, and soon arrived near Lin'an. Fu Tianpeng said to Ruan Liang: "Brother, see you later."
Ruan Liang also waved goodbye to the two of them, reminding them to be careful. After Ruan Liang left, Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, after Qin Hui learns that the manuscript has been robbed, he will definitely do everything possible to conduct a search. Our identities are also on the wanted list, so we must find a safe way to enter the city.
After much thought, the two went to a nearby fishing village and bought two pieces of fisherman's clothes. After binding Prime Minister Zhao's manuscripts with oil paper, they put them into a fish basket, with a basket full of small white fish poured on top. Fu Tianpeng carried the fish basket and walked towards the city with Zhao Xueqing.
They saw from a distance that outside the city gate, people lined up in a long queue again, and the city defenders were asking for property from people entering the city. Fu Tianpeng took a closer look at the general's appearance and recognized him at a glance as Qin Xi. Fu Tianpeng clenched his fist tightly and said to Zhao Xueqing: "It's true that a country is easy to change, but its nature is hard to change. Last time in Lin'an, I already taught him a lesson, but I didn't expect that this guy would exploit the people here again."
Zhao Xueqing said: "Brother Tianpeng, let's teach this kind of person a lesson in the future. We can't delay business just because we're angry."
Fu Tianpeng nodded and continued walking forward with the fish basket on his back. The two of them also lined up in order, and the fishy smell in the fish basket immediately spread in all directions. After Qin Xi smelled the fishy smell, he immediately went to the back of the crowd to investigate. He came to Fu Tianpeng, grabbed him by the collar and said, "You old man, you brought so much rotten fish and shrimp into the city, do you want to smoke us all to death?"
Seeing that Qin Xi was angry, Fu Tianpeng quickly handed him the silver he had prepared. Qin Xi took the money and immediately smiled. He let go of Fu Tianpeng and said to him: "I think you have to take this fish to the city quickly, otherwise, it will all stink after a long time."
After that, he waved his hand towards Fu Tianpeng, motioning for them to move forward. The two of them passed through the city gate and headed straight for the city. They were just about to enter the city when another general came out. This man was none other than Wang Boxiang. He stopped Fu Tianpeng and said to Qin Xi: "General Qin, the prime minister has ordered that everyone entering and leaving the city will be searched."
As soon as his words came out, Fu Tianpeng immediately panicked. He was a man and there was no need to be afraid. But Zhao Xueqing was still around, how could he let them search her. Just as he was getting anxious, he saw the crowd behind him immediately getting into chaos. Wang Boxiang tilted his head and looked back, and saw a monk in tattered clothes holding a chicken leg in his hand, eating it and squeezing it in happily.
Qin Xi sent people to catch the monk, but they couldn't get close to him. He sent a message to Wang Boxiang and asked him to stop the monk. Wang Boxiang led his troops to stop the monk. When he saw him eating meat, he pointed at him and said, "You monk, you don't abide by the rules and precepts, and you eat meat. Wait until I take you back to the temple, and let the abbot teach you a lesson."
The monk smiled and said: "The wine and meat passed through the intestines, but they stayed in the heart of the Buddha. Monk, I don't cultivate my mind and my mouth, but you, who neither cultivate your mind nor your mouth, cleverly create names and change the Dharma to exploit the people."
When Wang Boxiang saw the monk humiliating him, he immediately said angrily: "You crazy monk, you dare to insult the generals of the imperial court. I must put you in prison and teach you a lesson."
The monk laughed and said: "Monk, I only receive the teachings of the Buddha, and the secular rules can't do anything to me."
Wang Boxiang waved his hand at the soldiers, signaling them to catch the monk. The monk laughed loudly and threw it to the ground. Countless gold ingots appeared. This group of soldiers immediately started to grab the gold ingot.
The monk took the opportunity and said to Fu Tianpeng, "Why don't you leave quickly."
Fu Tianpeng was overjoyed to see Jigong. He nodded towards Jigong, followed Zhao Xueqing and the two of them, taking advantage of the chaotic scene and entered the city. Wang Boxiang didn't care about catching Jigong. He kicked each of the soldiers who were looting. However, these soldiers were jealous of the money and would rather be kicked than move.
Seeing the chaos, the people rushed in one after another. Jigong continued to throw gold ingots on the ground, and more and more soldiers gathered. Jigong laughed and said, "The monk paid the entrance fee for them." After saying that, he waved his fan and walked away.
After Jigong left, Qin Xi and Wang Boxiu were dumbfounded. All the gold ingots in their hands turned into stones. The two men failed to steal the chicken but lost the rice. The two men's search failed. They were angry and had to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to plead guilty to Qin Hui.
