More than a dozen big men surrounded two people to the front of the painting boat, looking at these big men, they all looked like thugs, they were all in October, and they were still wearing short brown with half of their arms, the muscles on their arms were shy, and their faces were cold and harsh, so that those scholars who were reading had the idea of retreating when they saw it.
Two of the big men, one of them seemed to be more majestic than these bodyguards and thugs, wearing a yellow robe with sleeves rolled up, revealing a pair of big hands like a fan, thick wrists, he was bare-chested, and a green dragon on his chest was fangs and claws, lifelike.
The other was neatly dressed than him, and his figure was thinner, but between Gu Pan, he had the same fierce expression.
Most of the people who mix on the Qinhuai River recognize this big-chested man, this person is nicknamed "Man Xiong", he is a skinny man who stands on his fist and runs a horse on his arm, and the big one is called Jiang Mengxiong, and the gangsters in the area of Confucius Temple are all his brothers.
The original big brother in the Confucius Temple area is called Zhen Erye, nicknamed Double-headed Jiao, who controls the docks, flower boats, workshops, restaurants and shops in this area, collects monthly money from the store, fills bodyguards, and is so fat that he farts and oils.
This man bear is later, as the saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, but it is not applicable to him, this man bear can fight, and the dozen or so brothers he brought can also fight, one night of kung fu, Zhen Erye and his henchmen were beaten to the ground, and then lurked without a trace, after five days, Zhen Erye emerged from the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River, and the double-headed Jiao was already soaked.
Since then, the Confucius Temple has changed the boss, and it is this Jiang Mengxiong.
With the red light on the bow of the boat, it was clear that the person who came was a ruthless big brother in the Confucius Temple, and the two girls who welcomed the guests hurriedly greeted him.
A cherry blossom on the left, a singing warbler on the right, grabbed his arm at the same time, and called delicately: "Brother Xiong, how can you have time to patronize our Yihongfang today?"
Jiang Mengxiong has never been rude to these women who are in the skin and meat business, so although the girls are afraid of him, they are not shocked.
Jiang Mengxiong smiled: "This is my brother, called Xu Jiang, don't snub him." ” "Xu Ye" Yue Ying's delicate body turned around, and then she flexibly turned to Xu Jiang's side, grabbed his arm, and said charmingly: "Xu Ye is the first time to come back to our Yihongfang, if there is no good girl, do you want the little sister to introduce you to one?"
Jiang Mengxiong said in a rough voice: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, let's talk about some business first, arrange a quiet room, make a pot of tea, and call your shopkeeper." ” When Ming Ying heard that Jiang Mengxiong had something to do, she didn't dare to entangle, so she hurriedly agreed, and stepped forward and lifted the bead curtain for them, while Yueying obediently took Xu Jiang's arm and led them to an upper room.
Those bodyguards scattered their big hands to the bottom of the ship, and stood still with their arms crossed, which for a moment frightened many people who wanted to go to this ship to find another place.
As soon as you enter the cabin, it is much brighter than outside, and some individual passengers sit at the table, drinking wine and listening to music, laughing and talking.
Only then did Xu Jiang see clearly that the cherry blossom girl in the moon, dressed in a small green coat, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with an elegant appearance, hair hanging sideburns, a crescent moon with eyebrows, a spring peach on her face, her attitude was not gorgeous, her skin was tender and bright, she was just a welcoming girl, and she was so beautiful, Xu Jiang couldn't help but look at it twice.
Jiang Mengxiong saw it in his eyes, and smiled deliciously: "If you are interested, ask her to accompany you tonight."
The girl here is just a little worse in singing and dancing, so she did the thing of welcoming guests and sweeping them, and she is willing to accompany them. ” Xu Jiang's old face turned red, and he replied curtly: "It's important to talk about business, cough and talk about business." ” The cherry girl glanced at him shyly, held his arm tighter, and rubbed twice on her crystal and tender chest, making Xu Jiang, a man who had never experienced the taste of wind and moon, at a loss.
There was a small table by the window, and Xia Xun sat there alone, watching them pass by, listening to them talk, and just smiling faintly.
Jiang Mengxiong and Xu Jiang entered the private room, the tea was served, and when they saw that the two had something to talk about, they didn't leave her to sit down, so Yue Ying gave a salute and withdrew.
Xu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's only been a long time, how did your brother become a pimp, be careful to let the adults know, and rectify you fiercely." ” Jiang Mengxiong said with a smile: "What the adults said, we have to pretend to be a dragon like a dragon, pretend to be a tiger like a tiger, I am now pretending to be a gangster, wine and wealth, of course, I can't leave the body, how can I become a pimp."
As he was talking, Xu Shiling opened the curtain and walked in, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Mengxiong pointed at him and smiled: "Look, say Cao Ying, Cao Ying has arrived, the real pimping person is here." ” It turned out that after Jiang Mengxiong, Wang Guanyu and others arrived in Jinling, they each did their own business, Jiang Mengxiong killed the double-headed Jiaozhen Erye, and occupied the big brother of the Confucius Temple, and Xu Shiling bought this boat and became the big shopkeeper of Yi Hongfang, making a big teapot, listening to the corner of the wall and looking at the Spring Palace, a romantic body.
The Qinhuai River is conducive to transportation, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in the Fengyue place come and go, are well-informed, and the information is easy to obtain, and the inland river is connected to the outer Qinhuai, and it is also convenient to retreat and abscond.
Originally, Xia Xun stipulated that they should be connected in a straight line, and they should not interact with each other, but after Jiang Mengxiong became the leader of the Confucius Temple, he met Xu Shiling who bought this boat, and pretended not to know that it was not to cover his ears and steal the bell.
Besides, at that time, Xia Xun had an accident and disappeared for three months for no reason, his life and death were unknown, and his whereabouts were unknown.
King Yan made a plan for the worst, and ordered the secret agents on Jinling's side to take the four of them as the leader, and discuss and solve the matter by themselves, so there was no need for the four of them to hide their identities from each other.
The three of them laughed and talked for a few words, and Xu Shiling said solemnly: "Brother Xu Jiang, you are from the north, what is the situation there now, quickly tell us that we are here, the news is not too well-informed, and we only listen to the nonsense of the imperial court all day long. ” Xu Jiang was just about to speak, Jiang Mengxiong said: "What's the hurry, calm down, wait for Boss Xia to arrive." ” Xu Shiling said: "The boss is really fine, I heard that for more than three months, no one knew about him, and I was worried, who knew that not long ago, I received the news from the boss from Licheng." ” Jiang Mengxiong said with a smile: "Naturally, it's okay, if you die, the boss won't lose a single hair, and I don't want to think about it, how many big things the boss has done, how many big scenes have passed, is it so easy to be designed by people Today, isn't it the boss who summoned us here?"
Xu Jiang said: "What is the identity of the boss now?"
Jiang Mengxiong and Xu Shiling shook their heads together: "We don't know, and we don't know where the boss is, we just received an order from the boss and rushed here, and we don't know more than you." ” As he was talking, Zhang Jun and Wang Guanyu also arrived one after another, and the business of these two people was different from Jiang Mengxiong and Xu Shiling.
Zhang Jun opened an oil and rice shop, and Wang Guanyu opened a scholar's four treasures shop in the west corner of Gongyuan, and both of them were doing serious business.
The five of them had just sat down and had not had time to talk in detail, when the hatch opened, and a bearded man stood at the door.
When Xia Xun was in Texas, he also had a big beard, but his beard was glued at that time, but his appearance was not too different from now.
It's just that he has been in Jinan City for three months, and he has lost too much weight, so although the five of them had preconceived ideas and decided that he must be Xia Xun, they were still stunned, and then jumped up.
Wang Guanyu exclaimed: "Boss, your disguise technique is too clever, others at most draw eyebrows, stick a beard, change clothes, you even have changed your face shape, if you didn't know that it was the boss, I would never dare to admit it, this kind of disguise technique is really amazing, breathtaking, when the boss also passed on the hands of brothers." ” Wang Guanyu has read books, although he has no fame, he still knows the words, so it is not very difficult for him to open this four treasures shop.
Xia Xun laughed when he heard it, and said angrily: "This disguise technique, you don't need to teach it, get you to a place, a bowl of gruel and half a steamed bun every day, and you are so tired from working that you lie down and sleep, and after three months, you will be able to be like me." ” Zhang Jun smiled dryly: "How can this be, ah, three months, three months, God Boss was in Jinan City at that time" Xia Xun waved his hand, sat down in the middle seat left for him, his face was solemn, and he looked at Xu Jiang first: "I just arrived in Jinling, I was supposed to meet a few of them tonight, but I didn't expect that you arrived just in time, let's talk about the situation in the north first."
Xu Jiang Zhengrong said: "Your Highness will return to Beiping in mid-September.
After Sheng Yong succeeded as the rebellious general, the entire army prepared to attack Beiping again. ” Xia Xun frowned slightly and said: "Seeing that the weather is going to be cold again, Li Jinglong suffered a defeat last year, most of it was because of this cold weather, it seems that this time, Sheng Yong is fully prepared."
Xu Jiang said: "Yes, Sheng Yong has prepared sufficient winter clothes this time, it seems that he doesn't want to give His Highness a chance to breathe."
However, His Highness did not wait for him to enter the army this time, but took the initiative to send troops to counterattack.
At that time, Ping An and Wu Jie were stationed in Dingzhou, Sheng Yong was stationed in Dezhou, and Xu Kai and Tao Ming were stationed in Cangzhou.
Sheng Yong sent a large number of exploration horses for the northern expedition, and His Royal Highness secretly sent Xu Li and Chen Xu to set up a pontoon bridge in Zhigu in order to hide people's eyes, and he led the troops to swear an oath, saying that he would sweep Liaodong.
His Royal Highness waved his army to the north, and when he arrived at Xia'andian, he suddenly turned to the south, and slammed Cangzhou through Zhigu, and traveled three hundred miles at night.
The defenders of Cangzhou were completely defenseless, so they only went to Shanhaiguan Pass, and the result was that they were defeated in a battle.
Hehe, the commander Xu Kai, the governor Cheng Xian, the commander Yu Qi, Zhao Hu and others were all captured by His Royal Highness, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed. ” Hearing this, everyone cheered up, Jiang Mengxiong laughed wildly: "Hahaha, hahaha, listen to it these days" Xia Xun glared at him fiercely, and Jiang Mengxiong hurriedly lowered his voice: "I have listened to the nonsense of the imperial court these days, and it turns out that His Highness has won a big battle again." ” Xu Jiang also smiled and said: "When the humble post came, His Royal Highness was transporting a large number of winter materials stored in Cangzhou to Beiping, and next, it depends on the actions of the imperial court to decide, after all, we don't have the strength to go south now." ” Xia Xun nodded, the battlefield is changing rapidly, no one knows whether Sheng Yong will act according to the ambiguous and inaccurate information in his memory, he just remembers something, and he can't pretend to be a prophet stupidly, not to mention the specific progress, he doesn't know much.
He took a breath and said to Jiang Mengxiong and the others: "Your Highness has not suffered a single defeat since the beginning of the army, which is a good thing.

However, the power of the imperial court is strong, and it will be of great benefit to His Highness to collect more information on our side.
Okay, now let's talk about the four of you, what achievements you have made since you went to Beijing, and what information you have gathered."
