Chapter 231: The Water Thief Finally Arrives
Unconsciously, time passed day by day, and the potter sent several messengers to find Gan Ning, but there was no response, and according to the school affairs report of the school office, Yuan Shu's move to recruit and transfer warships was also coming to an end day after day.
Time passed quickly, which made the potters feel distressed, but fortunately, there were a lot of warships in Shouchun, which made it difficult for Yuan Shu to be deployed in a short period of time, giving the potters time to breathe, but this time was as torment as fire for the potters.
It felt as if I was waiting for death, unspeakably sad.
Gan Ning's bastard, can't he lie to himself?
If this is the case, he will have to bite his whole family to death if he turns into a ghost.
Thoughts are ideas, but for this matter, the potter is really not sure in his heart, but even if he can't figure out Gan Ning's thoughts, the final bitter consequences of this matter must be borne by himself.
After all, the person who trusted Gan Ning without reservation was the potter himself.
If you want to blame it, you can blame yourself for being blind.
Time ticked by, and just when the potter was on the verge of despair, the news of saving his life was finally delivered back by the last wave of messengers.
Gan Ning finally arrived at the Whisker Dock!
When the potter learned the news, he almost jumped up from the bed and hugged the messenger and kissed him!
But because of the identity of a gentleman, the potter still didn't do such a shameless thing in the end.
Gentleman, you still have to maintain some quality cultivation.
When he came to the reception hall of the Whisker Dock, Gan Ning was standing there, looking at the potter with a happy smile.
Looking at the big man who appeared in front of him, the potter's eyes seemed to be moist for a moment.
This water thief leader, in the eyes of the potter, the real Nima is a relative!
The potter walked forward quickly, came to Gan Ning's face, looked him up and down carefully a few times, and then patted Gan Ning's shoulder with his hand, and said with relief:
"Bastard, you're tired of being crooked, aren't you? Do you want to die or do you want to go to the mine to move bricks? Take your pick! ”
Gan Ning's hearty smile stiffened in an instant.
"Not? What's going on!? I...... This...... Lao Tzu is here to help you! Gan Ning's tone was obviously a little anxious.
Why did the helper go wrong? What is going on in the mind of this Danyang County Taishou?
The potter's face suddenly fell, and he said slowly: "Really help me?" ”
"Really help you! Lao Tzu is willing to swear to the Yangtze River! ”
Tao Shang frowned, and said angrily with dissatisfaction: "Then why did Tao send several waves of messengers, but you didn't hear back?" ”
Gan Ning said angrily when he heard this: "Just with the eight hundred cubs under Lao Tzu's hands, what kind of storm can be set off by fighting against Yuan Shu?" After getting your letter, Lao Tzu worked day and night, running around, day and night for you to pick up those water leaders on the Yangtze River! It's hard to get all these people gathered here! Tao Fujun, you have the title of One Piece, but you don't know the hardships and difficulties in this, which is as simple as you imagined? Do you think that if you pull your throat, they will come over willingly to filial piety? ”
When he heard this, the potter's eyes suddenly brightened.
He hurriedly grabbed Gan Ning's hand and shook it up and down: "Brother, you really have gathered the water thieves from all parts of the Yangtze River here?" ”
When Gan Ning heard this, he couldn't help grinning, not knowing what to evaluate him.
Just now he said that he was a "bastard", why did he become a "brother" after a while?
What kind of person is this!
"Fujun, early tomorrow morning, you will know the difference if you go to Chaohu Lake with Gan!"
Hearing this, the Tao merchant nodded heavily, and said happily: "Okay, you first tell Tao how many water thieves are gathered here, and I will prepare a strategy to deal with the enemy first." ”
Gan Ning pulled out the hands held by the potter, and began to break one finger at a time, as if he was counting the number of people, but he was breaking slowly and chaotically, making people confused.
Seeing Gan Ning's flushed face when he was suffocated, the potter couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for him.
Mathematics is really not what this person is good at.
After a long time, Gan Ning finally finished calculating.
The Jinfan thief raised his head, and reported a number very arrogantly, and said with a big sting: "Actually, there are not many, only five thousand." ”
After speaking, he straightened his chest very proudly, as if he was waiting for the potter to praise him.
When the potter heard this, he nodded as if he was pondering, and sighed: "It's really not much." ”
Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this.
What kind of person is this!
I really don't want to talk to him anymore!
……
……
Early the next morning, after the potter had prepared what he needed, he led a team of men and horses, and took the four Pei brothers and Xu Rong with Gan Ning to the camp where the water thieves were stationed.
The place where the thieves led by the Yangtze River water thieves are stationed is quite hidden, Gan Ning said that it was on the edge of Chaohu Lake, but in fact it was set up in the dense forest far away from the shore of Chaohu Lake, the road on this road was extremely difficult, and there was no dirt road, it was all by exploration.
The potters and others set off early in the morning, and under the guidance of Gan Ning, they walked for most of the day before they saw a huge camp rooted in the forest.
Gan Ning continued to boast to the potters on this road, and the implication was that it took a lot of effort for the potters to persuade the leaders of the thieves to come here, and the meaning expressed in the words was nothing more than to say that if there was no Gan Ning, the name of One Piece, and the water Kou who was willing to come was afraid that he would not be able to make up even a thousand.
It's a blatant brag to ask for credit.
What kind of beating is Gan Ning's popularity among the water thieves, and the potter still has some points in his heart.
Except for the street rats, he is basically the smelliest one.
He didn't listen to the boast of this water thief leader, and knew in his heart that if he was able to gather so many people from the Yangtze River water thieves, in addition to Gan Ning's operation and his own name as One Piece, there must still be other people's operations.
This person, the potter probably knows in his heart, and it is very likely to be Zhou Tai.
Walking into the large camp in the forest, the potter carefully observed, and found that the water thieves of each family were still in accordance with the way of gathering in each village, and the walls were ordered, and several camp heads were listed, and the camp was also quite regular, which was really breathtaking.
There are still two hits on these waters.
However, compared with the regular camps set up by the officers and soldiers, these camps still lack some regularity, one in the east and one in the west, and they are very irregular from the crooked, and there are pots and pots at the door of many tents, which are the same as going out for a picnic.
There is still a little more rustic atmosphere.
In addition to the leaders of the water thieves, most of the little minions below don't know much about the new One Piece, seeing that the potters followed Gan Ning into the camp, and they were still wearing armor and uniforms, the performance of the little minions was somewhat amazed, although they were all far away, but they were thirty or fifty groups of heads and ears, pointing at the potters, and talking about it.
The potter frowned when he saw this, he didn't like to be watched by a group of people like this, like a gorilla who had escaped from a cage and walked independently.
Gan Ning persuaded him with a smile: "They are all thieves, they rob houses and houses on weekdays, they haven't seen much of the world, there is a little commotion, and they are not enough to worry about, don't go to your heart......
The potter whispered as he walked with Gan Ning, "How do I feel that they don't look at people, but like they are looking at some strange little animal......
Gan Ning laughed, shook his head and said, "Fu Jun thinks too much, what kind of bullshit animal can you watch......
When the words fell, I saw a very young water thief, about fourteen or fifteen years old, quietly walked to the side of the potter, reached out to the ground in front of the potter and gently threw out an orange, and then looked at the potter cutely, as if to observe whether he picked it up or not.
The potter's and Gan Ning's faces darkened all at once.
The potter bit his lip and didn't speak, but Gan Ning flew up and kicked the young man, and said angrily: "Lose your mother!" Which little cub of the water village! It's rude! Look at what you see, get out of here, get out of here! What to do, what to do! Haven't seen One Piece yet? ”
was so called by Gan Ning, and everyone suddenly dispersed.
Looking at the water thieves who were far away and looked at themselves carefully while talking to each other, the potter couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Many of them were extremely shabby, some even had only tattered clothes to cover their bodies, the straw sandals under their feet were basically worn and old, and the wooden barrels and clay pots carried by a few thieves who fetched water were also broken and rotten, which made the potter's eyelids jump.
Although they are all water thieves, it is obvious that among the water thieves, there is also a strict class system, and the food and clothing that the water thieves rob on weekdays are likely to be divided by the leaders of the thieves, and there must not be many of them who are really left for the bottom of the water thieves.
Big fish eat small fish, one level scrapes one level, in any group, it seems to be applicable, and water thieves are no exception.
Dressed in such a shabby army, if he was pulled out to fight Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu might not be able to think that this was the Jinling army of the pottery merchant......
It is very likely that Yuan Lao Er will suspect that this is a peasant rebel army that has appeared out of nowhere.
When he was young, the potter, under the guidance of Gan Ning, came to a large tent, Gan Ning opened the shabby curtain and stretched out his hand to invite the potter in.
Xu Rong and the Pei brothers both followed behind the potter, and several people entered the big tent, only to see that there were already more than 20 water thief leaders waiting inside.
It's all acquaintances, basically, everyone has already met in the Heroes Club.
And the leader among them, there is no doubt that it is Zhou Tai, the thief of Jiujiang.
Seeing the potter walk in, Zhou Tai took the lead and arched his hand at the potter, saying, "Jiujiang thief Zhou Tai, I've seen it...... I don't know if I should call you 'Road Thief' or 'Taofu-kun'? ”
The potter raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Gan Ning in surprise, but saw Gan Ning whistling, looking away boredly, and deliberately did not make eye contact with the potter.
This son of a bitch!
But if you think about it carefully, with Gan Ning's extremely bad popularity in the water thief circle, how can he bring these thieves together in one place? Presumably, he must have told Zhou Tai the truth, and conveyed it to the thieves through Zhou Tai, and with Zhou Tai's prestige, he was able to gather these thieves and bandit leaders here.
What kind of hard work is pure nonsense, and the time must be spent on Zhou Tai's side.
It is true that when he became the One Piece King, all the water thief leaders swore to respect the edict of the One Piece, but that was just a blind wish, and when it came to the matter, no one necessarily had to absolutely abide by the promise, and this battle was against the later general Yuan Shu - Megatron the world, the famous son of the Yuan family!
This is not a joke, if there is no clear statement, which of the thieves and bandits will easily touch the tiger whiskers of the princes who have the name of the imperial court.
These water thieves are not really stupid...... At least it's better than a real fool, is it possible, who will they really fight if One Piece asks them to fight?
One Piece is so awesome!
Therefore, if you want to gather them here, the true identity of the potter must be revealed.
Zhou Tai saw the embarrassment of the Tao merchant and Gan Ning, laughed, and explained: "Tao Fujun don't doubt it, Brother Gan has entrusted the cause and effect to us, although the leaders of each family have some doubts about the past trip of the Fujun, but Zhou remembers that the Fujun once said to Zhou in the past - the way of thieves is not the right way!" I want to come to Tao Fujun to those of us who are robbing houses on the river, or a little biased and loving, this time we led the crowd to gather here, but also want to hear what Fujun has to say? In other words, for those of us who are not innocent thieves, what clever use does the prince have? Moreover, we also want to know what the government has to do with us? ”
The potter looked at Zhou Tai quietly, then turned his head to look at the bandit leaders around him, and suddenly smiled.
"Do you really know that Tao Mou was mixed into your circle at the beginning, and he decided to be the leader of this water thief alliance, and his good intentions in interacting with you?"
