Although Liu Biao and Liu Bei are brothers, they are just because Liu Bei is famous and can be used as a guard dog, so he accepted Liu Bei. Although I bear such a reputation, if I go to see Liu Biao, Liu Biao will not kill me, even if he will not reuse me. Gan Ning's words were obvious enough, and Liu Feng no longer covered it up, calling him Liu Bei.

"Since you know that Liu Biao won't reuse Childe, what is Childe going to do?" Gan Ning immediately sensed the meaning of Liu Feng's words, and asked with a frown.

"It doesn't matter if I don't reuse it, I just need the identity of a leader, and I'm waiting for the opportunity. Just like Xingba and you live in Du Island, I also have to put on the identity of Liu Biao's general and lurk. The so-called big is hidden in the court, and the small is hidden in the mountain. Liu Feng did not answer Gan Ning positively, and there was no way to answer Gan Ning.

But Liu Feng's confidence when he spoke involuntarily exuded.

Feel this bearing, the confidence that faintly emanates. The doubts and worries in Gan Ning's heart couldn't help but quietly disperse.

"If Liu Biao can't tolerate the son, please invite the son to come to Du Island. The gates of Du Island are always open for Childe. Gan Ning put away the words of persuasion, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"If you are cornered, you will naturally not be polite to Xingba." Gan Ning had already said this for the second time, Liu Feng thought about it, if he didn't agree, he would inevitably hurt his feelings, and couldn't help laughing.

"Huh." Seeing Liu Feng agree, Gan Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

After laughing, Liu Feng turned his head to look at the surging river. said to Gan Ning: "Actually, this time, I not only borrowed a boat from Xingba, but also wanted to ask Xingba to help salvage a batch of iron armor in this river." ”

Liu Feng has coveted the two hundred pairs of iron armor sunk in this surging river for a long time, but because Liu Bei may confiscate it, he can only look at it and not salvage it. Now that he has left Changsha, without Liu Bei's constraints, there is no reason to let these iron armors sleep in the rivers anymore.

"Iron armor?" Gan Ning said unexpectedly.

"Yes, two hundred pairs of iron armor. It is something left by Zhang Xiu back then. Liu Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll send someone down to salvage it immediately." Gan Ning didn't continue to ask, and immediately nodded.

Immediately, Gan Ning ordered the drums to be beaten and the water thieves were gathered. And personally steer the ship to the Du Island salvage.

In the midst of the surging river, hundreds of boats of various sizes float on the water. It's winter, and the temperature of the river has dropped to a certain level. But that doesn't stop these thieves from begging for food in the rivers.

One by one, shirtless, under the command of Gan Ning, they kept going into the water to check the situation of the batch of iron armor.

However, the situation was not as simple as Liu Feng imagined, half an hour passed, and there were constantly water thieves entering the water, and they kept coming out of the water, but no trace of the iron armor was found.

Zhou Shun would never lie to him. So where did this iron armor go? Liu Feng was a little anxious, in his plan, the combat effectiveness of the army accounted for a large proportion, conquering the city, fighting not with wisdom, but with the army, whoever has a strong army can sit on more cities. Wearing iron armor will definitely make the combat effectiveness of the army soar again.

Although many water thieves have been eliminated in the past few months, Mi Zhu gave him more than 1,000 gold, so that Liu Feng can use as much as 6,000 gold. I can barely buy 500 pairs of iron armor, but iron armor is not something that can be bought just by buying it.

You are like Liu Biao, Cao Ying buys iron armor, will they sell it to you? Not at all. Therefore, these two hundred pairs of iron armor are quite important to Liu Feng.

"Keep looking downstream." After another quarter of an hour, there was still no trace, and those water thieves who went down to the river were already shivering from the cold, Liu Feng couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Gan Ning understood and ordered the boat to continue sailing.

If there is no trace of that batch of iron armor, Liu Feng will not let these water thieves in Ganning take risks again, and must wait for a while, and then go down to the river to salvage it tomorrow. However, for Liu Feng, who is facing Liu Bei's threat, waiting for a while is not what Liu Feng is willing to see.

Fortunately, God still helped Liu Feng. After driving down for some distance, a water thief quickly emerged after entering the water, and shouted excitedly: "I see the box sunk under the water." ”

Because of the cold, this water thief was so cold that his face turned purple.

"Come up, drink a sip of wine to warm up, and then go down to fish." Liu Feng and Gan Ning were both overjoyed, and Gan Ning laughed even more and ordered.

"Great Chief." When the thieves saw that there was wine to drink, they immediately cheered in unison, returned to the boat quickly, wiped their bodies dry, and drank happily.

After watching the water thieves gulp down their drinks, they immediately regained their spirits. Liu Feng couldn't help but praise and said: "These people under Xingba's account are born to be water army. ”

"If you can be a water army, you can't be a water thief?" Gan Ning made a joke.

"Of course." Liu Feng laughed and said. The difference between the water army and the water thief is just one word, and it can be reversed at any time. Liu Feng's heart was full of smiles.

After drinking and warming up for a while. Under the command of Gan Ning, the water thieves went into the water again in an orderly manner to salvage the iron armor. However, the process was surprisingly difficult.

To salvage 200 pairs of iron armor in the water is by no means as simple as Liu Feng imagined. Wait for more than ten people to work together to salvage a box. It also takes a lot of time.

"Come up, come up." When the first box was lifted by the thieves and slowly moved onto the boat, the thieves shouted.

Liu Feng even rushed to the bow of the boat with an arrow step. I looked at the salvaged box with excitement, the box was black, very large, and heavy. In front of the box, there was also a rusty copper lock.

According to Zhou Shun's description, there were two pieces of iron armor hidden in a box. Liu Feng calmed down for a moment, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and split the copper lock. Then I couldn't wait to open the box.

The inside of the box was tightly wrapped in a layer of waterproof cloth, and Liu Fengmali untied this layer of cloth. The iron armor that had been sleeping under the water for several years appeared in front of Liu Feng's eyes.

The armor is placed underneath, and on top are two helmets. It's all black and glowing. Reaching out and stroking the helmet, a chill passed from his fingertips to his body.

"Good stuff." Liu Feng instinctively absolutely, this thing is a good thing. It's not in vain that he thinks about it all night.

"It's the black iron armor of the upper layer." Gan Ning was calmer than Liu Feng, observed on the side, and confirmed softly.

This black iron armor is not an ordinary iron armor, to produce this kind of iron armor, you need black iron, and it will not come out early without fifty gold. In other words, these two hundred pairs of iron armor are worth no less than 10,000 gold.

"It's all up to you to fight." Liu Feng hid the joy in his heart and nodded.

As he spoke, another box was salvaged by the water thieves. This time, Liu Feng personally opened the box, but his expression was much calmer. After all, Liu Feng is not the kind of person who can't hide his emotions. Ordered someone to carry the box into the cabin, and then quietly waited for the salvage to end.

However, a hundred boxes are also very laborious to salvage. By the time the last box was salvaged by the thieves, it was almost dark.

When Gan Ning returned with the big and small ships, the sky was already dark.

Outside the Xizhai of Du Island, Gan Ning stood on the island, while Liu Feng stood at the bow of the boat. Countless torches were lit around it, illuminating this small area.

"Won't you stay overnight?" Gan Ning's face was a little reluctant and asked.

Although he is a water thief on Du Island, he comes and goes like the wind, and he wants to rob whoever he wants to rob and save who he robs. It's a good time, but there are few friends. Gan Ning really wanted to stay with Liu Feng for a few nights.

"It's better to go early." Liu Feng shook his head and refused. is still the same idea, Liu Feng doesn't want his safety to be based on Liu Bei's judgment, one step earlier, one step out of Liu Bei's sphere of influence, which also means safety.

"So I won't keep you any more. I hope to see you again. Gan Ning was also open-minded, and when he heard this, he put away the reluctance on his face, raised his fist and said loudly.

"I'll see you again." Liu Feng said in a deep voice, speaking loudly and powerfully. For Liu Feng, when he said goodbye to Gan Ning, it was the time to lead Jingnan to recruit Gan Ning as a general.

He can't afford to fail. I have to see Gan Ning again.

After a short farewell, Liu Feng ordered the ship to set sail. Go to Linjiang Village and pick up hundreds of soldiers and horses to go south to Changsha.

The main trunk of the Yangtze River, Jiangxia area.

A large fleet of ships is slowly swimming upstream. This fleet consisted of three large ships and dozens of small boats, which stretched for hundreds of meters in front and back.

There was no banner, but the soldiers wearing leather armor, armed with spears, bows and arrows, were enough to deter ordinary water thieves.

On one of the large boats, a man stood with a sword, facing the slight river breeze, his long hair fluttering. Full of heroism.

"My lord, there is Natsuguchi ahead. This area is the area where Huang Zu and Sun Quan are at war, and it is very chaotic. There are often water thieves, many of whom have hundreds of people. Be careful. I don't know when, Xu Tian, who was wearing thick clothes, came to Liu Feng's side and said softly.

"Blow the trumpet, and order the soldiers to be on guard." Liu Feng nodded and said.

"No." Xu Tian answered and walked into the cabin, and after a while, a continuous horn sounded, making the soldiers, who were already very cautious and vigilant, even more cautious.

Listening to the sound of the horn, Liu Feng set his eyes ahead. In front of this surging river, there is his destination, Changsha.

It's been ten days since they set sail from Du Island, and their fleet has made it here without any problems. In a few more days, you will be able to reach Changsha. The breeding ground of the Ko clan.

The ancestor of the Kou family was a hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was named Marquis of Luo. It has been inherited for hundreds of years, although it is gradually declining, and the position of the marquis has long been deprived. But the family is not low. It is definitely not worse than Liu Bei, a relative of the Han family.

Although Liu Feng is not the main branch of the family, he is the more prominent of the side branches. In Changsha Luo County, there are vast fields and a large number of domestic slaves. The only flaw is that Liu Feng's parents died early.

Even if his parents died early, Liu Feng is still the only heir in the family. You can inherit vast fields, house slaves. It stands to reason that such assets and forces are not small. There is no need to be a son for someone else.

When he thought of this, Liu Feng's memory couldn't help but appear the figure of a man in his forties, who was smiling all the year round and very loving.

This man is Liu Feng's uncle, Liu Yu. I don't know what kind of considerations, when Liu Bei showed his love for Liu Feng and intended to adopt him as his stepson. Liu Mi made the decision and succeeded Liu Feng to Liu Bei.

When he went to Changsha, Liu Fengyi wanted to recover the fields, domestic slaves, and wealth of the Kou family. The second is also to want to meet Liu Mi.

The Liu Mi in his memory is very kind to him, Liu Mi himself is from the Han family, and the power in the family is not small.

If you can recover the wealth of the Kou clan, a house slave. If you ask your uncle Liu Mi for help, your power will definitely rise. Very beneficial to his plans.

Constantly accumulating power and wealth. Raise 100,000 male soldiers and recapture Gan.

"Mother, I hope you don't blame me for not saying goodbye. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back. The hand clenched tightly on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the fingers he held turned white, but Liu Feng still didn't realize it. I only said silently in my heart.

It's like a wanderer who goes out and is always worried about his mother's situation. Especially Gan's situation is not good, Liu Bei's old puppet almost doesn't look at Gan seriously. Liu Feng's heart was very worried. The more worries, the heavier. The deeper the hatred for Liu Bei.

In order to force away his stepson, the filthy stepson had an affair with his adoptive mother. It's a shame that he did it.

"My lord, look ahead." Just as Liu Feng was thinking about Gan in his heart, a voice suddenly sounded next to him. Liu Feng turned his head and glanced at the voice of a soldier.

Immediately, he looked up again. I saw a big boat floating in the river ahead, this ship was built very luxuriously, more than three times larger than Liu Feng's big boat. And it's not a warship. At first glance, you can tell that it was built by a wealthy family and went out to play.

At the moment, though, the ship seems to be in a bit of trouble. Because there are dozens of small boats floating in its vicinity. And there was a shout of killing.

"Water thieves." These two words immediately appeared in Liu Feng's heart, although Liu Feng had never seen water thieves looting in the rivers, but he had personally exterminated many water thieves.

I know that the water thieves travel and plunder, they all use this kind of fast boat. Quick attack, fast escape. Coupled with the shouting of killing, there should be no doubt that it should be a water thief.

In the process of leaving, it is not advisable to make extraneous branches. Apologetic to the owner of the big ship, Liu Feng ordered the soldiers to steer the ship and avoid it.

But a voice came out coldly from the front, "The black water thieves of Dongting Lake are plundering, and the idle people are waiting to die." Not only that, but when Liu Feng and the others did not answer, half of the dozens of small boats on the other side immediately split up and attacked Liu Feng and the others blatantly.

Even if the other party spoke badly, Liu Feng had to avoid it in order to avoid extraneous branches. But the other party obviously did not give Liu Feng the right to choose.

"Rise up and crush him." Looking coldly at the dozens of ships that were blatantly attacking them, Liu Feng ordered.

"No." After a loud sound of promise, the soldier quickly entered the cabin, and then an earth-shattering drum sounded.

I think that back then, Liu Feng trained to exterminate water thieves. Although he is afraid of trouble now, it does not mean that Liu Feng is afraid of trouble.
