It must be said that the soldiers of the Red Scarf Capital are a group of good brothers. After knowing that Xu Xian may encounter plots, assassinations, and attacks on the way to the Tianxiong Army, they are doing their best to protect Xu Xian's integrity.

.

First came the food. No matter what Xu Xian wanted to eat, someone immediately came over to give him a taste to test the poison. But there were too many people testing the poison. Several people took turns picking up a bowl of soup cakes with chopsticks, and only the soup was left.

It was the same when sleeping. They would surround Xu Xian in the center, snore, grind his teeth, murmur and have stinky feet, so that Xu Xian's good sleep in both previous and present lives would disappear.

Even going to the toilet was no surprise. When he squatted in the grass with a leaf in his hand to exert his strength, a few men with knives and guns would suddenly come out, setting up a pergola and looking around vigilantly.

Hungry, insomnia, and constipated, Xu Xian felt that half of his life had been lost in just three days, but the instigator seemed to have good intentions.

After passing Chanzhou and even entering the territory of the Tianxiong Army, everyone became more and more cautious. Whenever they went to the dense forest in the valley, they had to check it before passing through. However, everything was fine along the way.

Although it was already the end of July, Qiuhuhu was still very powerful. Everyone couldn't bear the heat, so they stopped early and rested in a small town on the roadside. Da Kui found the biggest restaurant and walked in and shouted: "Shopkeeper!"

Let’s make five hundred bowls of soup cakes and stew two pigs and two sheep for everyone to eat. There’s no need for wine and we’ll prepare it ourselves!”

The shopkeeper came up to greet him personally, "Five hundred bowls of soup cakes are easy to make, but here we eat pigs and sheep as opposed to fish. Big fish weighing dozens of kilograms are just as enjoyable to eat!"

Xu Xian smiled and joked: "Do you have a lot of fish here?"

"Young general, you are joking. You have forgotten where we are here. Have you seen the reeds outside the town? Through the reeds is a 600-mile water bank!"

"Liangshan Bo?" Xu Xian was a little confused. According to his impression, Liangshan Bo should be in Shandong in later generations. The place where they were located should be the junction of Hebei and Henan, and the water park should be eight hundred miles away.

"Exactly, it used to be called Ohno Ze. In recent years, the river has moved northward and merged with Liangshan Water Park. The surrounding Liangshan Mountains have become giant lakes, so it was renamed Liangshan Lake. Our town is actually a fish market, and the fishermen are nearby.

When buying and selling nets, the most indispensable thing is fresh products in the water."

"So that's it, then just listen to the shopkeeper and don't eat pigs and goats. You can serve the fish and shrimp well, but remember to keep them fresh and don't fool people with the pickled ones!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will wash and peel the fresh ones in front of the general. It's just a small shop with a small profit, this..."

Dakui waved his hand and said to the shopkeeper, "Damn it, think that we red scarves are all the same people. It's not our business to eat and drink for free. Manager, give us the money quickly, don't let others look down on us.

.”

Xu Xian was called General Manager, but it was only because Chai Rong did not give Xu Xian a prestigious title such as Zhongshu Ling or Taiwei, so he had to make do with General Manager, which sounded more prestigious than Deputy Envoy anyway.

Xu Xian took out a piece of silver from his purse and threw it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took it happily and hurriedly sent the waiter out. When he came back, he pulled a cart full of fish.

It has to be said that the environment was well protected in ancient times. The fish weighing several dozen kilograms, including head and tail, were waist-high and alive and kicking. It was very gratifying to see them. The cook was a little reluctant to part with the fish when he gutted the fish and chopped it into pieces of meat.

More than a dozen large pots were set up in the backyard of the restaurant. The plump fish meat was thrown into the pot, and star anise, fennel, pepper, salt, vinegar were put in. At Xu Xian's strong request, some dogwood was also added, only a stick.

When the fragrance is used, the fragrance will overflow.

The Muggle couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful of the white soup and poured it into his mouth. He took a long breath and said, "It's delicious!"

"Damn it, I haven't heard you speak human words for a long time!" Dakui grabbed the spoon and scooped out a piece of fish, "I'll try to see if it's poisonous first!"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper changed his face and said to Xu Xian with a bitter look on his face: "Young general, we are all law-abiding businessmen. We would never dare to poison you."

"He didn't say why you were nervous about poisoning. After Dakui tested the poison, he brought me a bowl. I haven't had a decent meal in several days!"

The shopkeeper personally carried a small pottery basin and served Xu Xian some pieces of fish, "Young general, you came at the right time. The fish in autumn is so tender and fat. I specially selected some fat pieces for you. It will definitely taste good."

Smooth and refreshing.”

"Thank you!" Xu Xian reached out and took it, picked up a piece of fish and tasted it, "It's really good! It's rare that a remote place like yours can make such delicious food. The chef's skills are good."

"Hehe... when eating fish, we should pay attention to the original taste, and we don't need to have a lot of skills. We rely on mountains and rivers to eat, and the main thing is the fish in this water pool is good!"

"Yeah, by the way, are there any robbers in your pond?"

Xu Xian was just out of curiosity. The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he pondered for a moment: "Young general, I'm joking, there have been so many bandits here for hundreds of years. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Jinsheng once gathered tens of thousands of people here, and now there are also

How come there are no bandits in these troubled times? Is the general here to suppress bandits?"

"You think we are all cavalry here to suppress bandits?"

"That's true! The villain is talking too much. I won't disturb the general's meal!"

"Come back, let me ask you how far is it from Daming Mansion?"

"It's not that far!" The shopkeeper pointed to the north, "Go north for three to five miles. Once you pass Huangnigang, you will be the boundary of Daming Mansion. Hurry up and drive to Fucheng in two days."

"Cough cough cough..." Xu Xian couldn't help but cough after hearing this. It turned out that the famous Huangnigang really existed, and it was so close to the water. No wonder it was a dangerous place.

"What's wrong, little general? Maybe it's stuck!"

"Well, it's stuck and has been vomited out! Can you please help the shopkeeper prepare dry food for two more days?"

It was already dusk after everyone had eaten and drank. After walking three miles north, they saw a low hill with dense trees and deep silence. It was really a good place for killing people and selling goods.

"Hurry up and set up camp, we'll rest here tonight!" Xu Xian called Jiubao over and said, "Take one hundred and fifty people and hide in the dense forest ahead!"

Jiubao raised his eyebrows, "Does the manager mean that Han Lingkun's people will send people to attack the camp tonight?"

"After this hill is Fu Yanqing's territory, he will not take the blame for others. Tonight is Han Lingkun's last chance."

Not long after Jiubao took the people away, he saw an ox cart coming slowly from the south. The owner of the car was the hotel manager. When he saw Xu Xian, he said: "It's a great honor for the general to patronize our shop today. I'm sorry."

Prepare a small amount of wine to reward the general, and ask the general to accept it."

If you don't eat the boss's meal, it's considered a sign of good deeds by the soldiers. There are no such people in the world who actively offer benefits. There are no such people in the world. If they are not born cheap, then they can only have ulterior motives.

Dakui opened the seal of the wine, took a sniff and curled his lips and said, "This is sour rice soup, we don't care about it!"

"That's nonsense. How can I turn away the shopkeeper's wishes? However, I, the red scarf, are all the emperor's guards. I don't want the common people to insult His Majesty's reputation. I will give you not a penny less."

I asked someone to take dozens of coins and put them into the car for the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper left happily, looked at the tent behind him, and then looked at the copper coins in the car. The shopkeeper said to himself: "This man is really particular.

If someone didn't want to buy his head, I really wouldn't have the heart to do it."

The shopkeeper did not return to the town, but walked two miles to the nearby reeds. The clerk covered his mouth and imitated a few cuckoo calls, and then nearly two thousand people came out of the reeds.

All of them were shirtless and had a variety of weapons in their hands. However, there were more than ten people in neat armor and holding standard weapons in their hands. At first glance, they were in the military.

A leader saw the shopkeeper and immediately asked: "Have all the wine been delivered?"

The shopkeeper immediately replied: "It has been sent over, but I think they have better wine, I'm afraid they won't drink it!"

"You are joking, you just throw away the copper coins when you have money at home. I have never seen a soldier who doesn't like to drink!" The soldier immediately ordered his men to investigate.

The two soldiers left in response and came back in the blink of an eye: "They were drinking. We saw someone fainted with our own eyes. They thought they were drunk."

The shopkeeper sneered, "We have more than 2,000 people here. Even if they are not fascinated, they are not our opponents. Tou, don't forget to promise us 5,000 yuan when the matter is accomplished."

"Don't worry, as long as you get Xu's head, you won't lose a cent!"

At that moment, more than 2,000 people took advantage of the hazy night and walked towards the camp in Hongjindu. When they arrived, they saw a large number of people lying outside the tent.

The shopkeeper said viciously: "Kill them all!"

But the soldier said: "No, they are all the emperor's guards. If you kill them, there will be big trouble. Just take the head of the one named Xu!"

Someone in the tent suddenly said: "You still know the importance, but is my head valuable?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of strings in each tent, and sharp arrows came out of the tents. Immediately, hundreds of water thieves were struck by arrows and fell to the ground.

Without any resistance, the two thousand water thieves turned around and ran away, shouting in fear. Not far after running out, they saw a group of cavalry emerging from the dense forest. They blocked their way and raised their crossbows and fired, "Surrender without killing!"

"

After a round of arrows rained down, two thousand water thieves knelt down and surrendered. Only a dozen soldiers in neat armor tried to escape. Everyone in the red scarf capital fell to the ground after a burst of shooting. The Muggles came forward to search for a while, and then they held a leg.

The man who was hit by the arrow came over and said, "There is still one alive here!"

It was the soldier who was captured. He was escorted in front of Xu Xian. Da Kui punched him and said, "Honestly, who ordered you to come here!"

The soldier was also very stubborn, spitting at him, "Bah! If you want to kill, kill if you want, if you want to scrape, scrape, don't even think I can say a word!"

It's a very clear question, and I don't know what the two of them are doing.

Xu Xian said: "I won't kill you because you still know the seriousness. You go back and tell Han Lingkun that he will try to harm me next time and find some capable people. It is really disrespectful to ask these rotten fish and shrimps to take my name.

"

"You know everything? Huh, don't think that if you let me go, I will accept your favor!"

"You don't need to accept my favor!" Xu Xian pulled out the knife and slashed it across the side of his head. Blood spurted out and one ear fell to the ground. "You can leave now!"

The soldier covered his ears and screamed, broke off the arrows and limped away.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper knelt down to Xu Xian and said, "I am willing to cut off one of my ears to appease the general's wrath!"

"I thought the shopkeeper was forced to harm me, but now it seems you are the leader of the water thieves?"

"Exactly! The villain is willing to redeem his life with thousands of dollars!"

"I'm not short of money! You can keep it for yourself and enjoy it in the Palace of Hell!" Xu Xian suddenly swung his knife, and the shopkeeper's head immediately fell to the ground. The blood from his neck spurted out of Lao Gao, and all the water thieves kneeling on the ground gasped.

Take a breath of air conditioning.

Xu Xian suddenly felt a pain in his leg. When he lowered his head, he saw a dark figure holding his leg and biting him. Xu Xian kicked him to the ground, and the Muggle was already slashing at him with a knife.

Go, "Off with your head!"

"Muggles, stop it! This man can avenge the leader, which shows that he is a very loyal person. Let him go!"

Unexpectedly, the man said: "I am not avenging the boss. You, an official, look down on us heroes on the water and say that we are rotten fish and shrimps. I, the little white dragon in the waves, cannot spare you!"

"Little white dragon in the waves? Black loach is just about the same!" Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh. He was so dark in life that the torch didn't reflect light on his body, otherwise Xu Xian wouldn't have been successfully attacked by him.
