Titicaca!

The six-ring broadsword was extremely sharp, and it slashed towards the penny, breaking the bamboo pole in an instant, trying to split the bamboo pole six feet long in half.

One zhang one, one zhang one, eight feet, six feet.

When the bamboo pole was split to six feet by the big knife, Li Li's body suddenly flipped, and the bamboo pole in his hand twisted abruptly, making Gan Ning's momentum like a broken bamboo come to an abrupt end, and his body was stunned, and the big knife was rolled in the bamboo pole, and he couldn't draw the knife out for a while.

Suddenly, the bamboo pole curled and clamped the big knife, and Li Li and Gan Ning made the same action almost at the same time. But seeing that the two of them turned over in an instant, their bodies curled up, and they leaned back, kicking their feet through the water.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two people under the water kicked on their backs at the same time, and the soles of their feet did not give in to each other, causing the waves on the water to roll, and the sound was swallowed and digested by the water, so that everyone on the water could not hear the violent sound of the underwater collision at all.

Punches are two doors, all of which rely on the legs to hit people.

Underwater combat is not as good as on land, and the speed and strength of the body are greatly limited, and the more ferocious and fast the attack, the greater the resistance of the current. In this way, long weapons naturally have an advantage over short weapons, and legs are naturally more offensive than fists. Because it has a length, the last hit comes first, and it can hit the opponent without touching the opponent's body.

However, kicking underwater is a huge test of one's own water nature.

When you are lying on your back in the water, the current will rush into your nostrils, which is most likely to make you choke on water, and even make your head dizzy, forcing you to stay underwater any longer. Because of this, people with average or poor water skills tend to be better at fighting with their hands, so it is easier to maintain their balance and try to stay underwater for as long as possible.

In a burst of horizontal kicks, neither Li Li nor Gan Ning took advantage of each other, and they were evenly matched. Immediately, the two bodies collided together, punching and elbowing. It is still not inferior, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

Both of them are proficient in water-based water ghosts, and they are also masters of hand-to-hand combat, and no one would have thought that they would seize the opportunity at the first shot.

"Bang!" In hand-to-hand combat, Li Li suddenly let go of the bamboo pole and grabbed Gan Ning's right wrist holding the knife with his free hand. Gan Ning didn't expect Li Li to have the courage to give up the weapon in his hand, and suddenly his right arm suddenly became weightless, and his body sank rapidly. And Li Li, who was holding Gan Ning's right wrist tightly, jumped forward and twisted Gan Ning's right hand. forced his right hand to let go of his five fingers, and the big knife in his hand was lost.

However, at the moment when the big knife was taken off, when his body was at a disadvantage, he raised his leg and elbowed Li Li's lower abdomen, and none of them missed three consecutive blows. Just when he thought Li Li was in pain and let go. Unexpectedly, Li Li's right hand that was clutching his hands suddenly let go, and he smashed his jaw with a fist.

Pause. Gan Ning's head was dazed. His eyes were full of stars, and he was in great pain, and he screamed silently. As a result, a mouthful of river water rushed in, choking Gan Ning's tears and snot. But no one saw this scene, because it was underwater. And Li Li, the initiator, not only didn't bother to pay attention to Gan Ning's reaction. On the contrary, taking advantage of Gan Ning's unbearable pain, he punched one punch after another, smashing all the way around, without a clear goal. Whatever it takes, anyway, the fists are all on Gan Ning.

Gan Ning, who was in pain, was also fierce after being boxed and fought hard. But seeing him hit his head on Li Li's left ear, he took advantage of Li Li's head to break free of his arm, broke away from Li Li's clamps, and quickly paddled away.

Li Li, who was careless in letting Gan Ning escape, shook his buzzing head, and then swam to the surface after Gan Ning.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

In the midst of the rolling waves, Li Li dived from the water to the side of the ferry and jumped onto the deck, and unexpectedly found that Jin Fan Hu Cong did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but still surrounded the ferry, besieging but not attacking.

"Lord!"

"Brother is well?"

Seeing Li Li jumping on the ferry, Zhou Yu and Lu Su hurried up to meet them and asked with concern.

"Don't worry about me, it's fine!" Li Li rubbed his left ear, which was still buzzing and roaring, and said with a relaxed smile.

Then he asked in a cold voice, "Have you ever seen the traces of Gan Ning's thief?" ”

Seeing that Li Li was fine, and there were no wounds on his body, Zhou Yu and Lu Su immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Su turned his head to look at the other ferry thirty meters away, and said, "The thief leader Gan Ning is on the ferry behind, and he only came a little earlier than his brother." However, he seemed to be injured, and after getting on the ship, he was carried into the cabin by Hu Cong, and has not yet appeared. ”

"Hurt?" Li Li groaned, nodded and said, "His injuries are not serious, it was this river that saved him." If he was on the shore, he wouldn't be injured now, and even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to live long! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Li let out a long breath, and only then did he feel a pain in his lower abdomen. The few blows that Gan Ning hit in his lower abdomen just now were also extremely painful, but he gritted his teeth and endured it without showing it. It was precisely his strong endurance of the severe pain that allowed him to find an opportunity to hit Gan Ning hard, but he beat Gan Ning into a daze and had no power to fight back.

It's a pity that in underwater fighting, ten percent of the strength is gathered to hit the opponent, but the power will plummet by three or four percent, and the lethality will be greatly reduced. So much so that Li Li could have seriously injured Gan Ning, and could even kill him on the spot, but now he only injured him, and the injury was not serious, at least Gan Ning still had the strength to fight again.

"The lord is injured?" The subtle changes on Li Li's face did not escape Zhou Yu's eyes, but he still discovered it.

Seeing Zhou Yu's worried eyes, Li Li nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's really difficult to get out of an underwater hand-to-hand fight with a water ghost like Gan Ning. He had just kicked him twice and met him again, and it was still a little painful, but it didn't get in the way. In contrast, the Gan Ning thief was more seriously injured, two teeth were missing, and the other injuries on his body were not light, so he was loosened and punished slightly. Hehehe! ”

Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and said: "The lord has a golden body, how noble his identity is, how can he be compared with the young people of Jinfanxiao?" ”

As soon as he spoke, Zhou Yu looked at the expression on Li Li's face, and after seeing his expression as usual, he continued: "The last general has also heard the name of Jinfan Ganning before. Knowing that his person is a native of Yizhou Ba County, he once served as a county official, his family background is acceptable, he acts arbitrarily, likes gorgeous clothes, good pomp, and has a very strong habit of being a ranger, and his temperament is explosive. Later, he was wanted and arrested by the government for killing a soldier while drunk. Since then, Gan Ning has become a rogue, gathering a group of outlaws to roam the rivers and lakes, robbing caravans and pedestrians, and it has been a disaster for a long time. This person has a perverse personality and acts unexpectedly, often with feathers on his head, a bell tied around his waist, and a brocade robe, leading his subordinates to swagger through the market, so he is named 'Jinfan Thief'. If the rich and powerful in the township pavilion hold a feast to entertain them, the thief will not embarrass the master's family; If not. Then they fought and burned, killed and looted, and the means were extremely cruel. However, it is worth mentioning that Gan Ning and his people occasionally help some poor and homeless people, and they are generous. Spending a lot of money without frowning, it is quite praised by the poor people. It can be called a conscience. Not a heinous one.

Therefore, this thief is also good and evil, cynical, moody, and extremely eccentric by nature, unlike ordinary water thieves. This time, the Jinfan thief intercepted us and the others. Intercepting but not killing, besieging but not attacking, is quite intriguing and contrary to common sense. Don't treat it on the same level as an ordinary water thief, as if it wasn't as simple as robbing money. It is said that there are a large number of Jinfan thieves, about a thousand thieves, who are good at water and good skills, and they are all good at killing people and goods. Therefore, the general will be foolish, let me go and meet with him, if I can cross the river without swords, I will not care about him, if not, then we must be prepared for a vicious fight.

I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”

"Huh?" Li Li bowed his head and pondered: "The Jinfan thief behaves strangely and has good combat power, and I have a deep understanding of this. Na Gan Ning's martial arts are strong, comparable to super-first-class skills, and they are not much different from the Xiahou brothers I met before, and their combat power is quite strong. In particular, its water nature is very good, and it has only been fighting with me underwater for more than ten rounds, although it is downwind, it is still extremely strong, and its strength should not be underestimated. ”

"Hey!" Speaking of this, Li Li sighed lightly: "When Gan Ning talked to me before, he was very disrespectful, which made me very disliked, and I already had the idea of killing. Therefore, I hit him hard in the underwater fight, and he was severely damaged, and now although he still has the strength to fight again, he is no longer as brave as before. In this way, it is really difficult for us and the Jinfan thief to give up, and I am afraid that there is no possibility of peace. Therefore, Gong Jin should not take risks in person, so as not to be killed by Xiaoxiao taking the opportunity. ”

"This 、、、" Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he was quite moved, but there was still persistence in his eyes, as if he was unwilling, and still wanted to give it a try.

In Zhou Yu's view, Gan Ning is strong in martial arts and proficient in water warfare, although he is a water thief, he has a clear conscience and is not an uneducated person. If you try to take it for your own use, guide it well, and use its strengths to avoid its shortcomings, you can be a brave general who can fight bravely. In these troubled times, no one is perfect, but anyone who has a skill can use it, and it is a pity to meet such a brave general. What's more, Gan Ning has excellent water nature, is good at water warfare, and has more than 1,000 elite subordinates, if this can be used as a basis, the Xiliang Army can also form a water army in the future, which will help the lord Li Li to dominate the world.

However, what Li Li said is not unreasonable, and now the two sides are fighting each other, and the tension has become water and fire, and it is really difficult to stop making peace. Moreover, there are many Jinfan thieves under Gan Ning, and there are nearly 200 elite followers on the river alone, so there must be a larger number of Jinfan thieves lurking on the shore. At this moment, although the Jinfan thief is besieging but not attacking, he has already opened his bow and arrows, ready to wait, and may shoot arrows at any time. Among the two Qiao and six boatmen on his ferry, there were only more than ten people in total, and they were weak and in a worrying situation. With such a strong enemy and weak me, if you want to persuade Gan Ning to join, the difficulty can be imagined, and it can even be said that it is impossible. The most important thing is that Li Li had just injured Gan Ning, the leader of the Jinfan thieves, so that since then, the possibility of reconciliation between the two sides has become more and more slim, and a vicious battle has become inevitable.

After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that his group was too careless a few days ago, and he was too optimistic to estimate Jingzhou. Thinking that there had been no war in the nine counties of Jingzhou under Liu Biao's rule in recent years, he subconsciously thought that Jingzhou was quite peaceful and would not encounter sudden accidents. I don't think about it, the so-called Jingzhou Taiping is just a superficial whitewash of Taiping, but in fact, water bandits are rampant in the territory, bandits and bandits are rampant, and it is definitely not a peaceful place where Jingxiang caravans are hearsay.

Thinking of these, Zhou Yu was quite anxious, not only wanting to give it a go, but also taking into account the safety of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's two daughters, quite a sense of being a rat bogey. Without the bond of the two daughters, although Zhou Yu is not as confident as Li Li, he is not afraid of the Jinfan water thieves, and has the confidence and ability to fight a bloody way out of trouble safely.

"Brother, Gongjin's words may be a try!" Just as Zhou Yu was secretly thinking about it, Lu Su, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Oh?" Li Li and Zhou Yu were surprised when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at Lu Su and wait for the following.

I saw Lu Su's expression indifferent, and he said unhurriedly: "What Gong Jin said just now is really heard in the next sentence, and I agree with it. Although Gan Xingba is the leader of the water thieves, he has been doing evil for several years, and all the counties and counties along the river have no choice but to help him, and they connive at him to become bigger and bigger, and he is unscrupulous. However, if this matter is looked at the other way around, as Gong Jin said, Gan Ning and his subordinates were really good at fighting, and forced the counties along the river not to send troops to exterminate them.

In this case, it can be used by me to serve my brother and bring peace to the world. If we can subdue Gan Ning and his elite followers, we will be accompanied by thousands of guards on the way back, and we will be able to travel all the way without worry! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Su's voice paused slightly, and he bowed to Li Li and waved his hand: "The foolish brother is willing to persuade Gan Ning to come down with a three-inch tongue, and I hope that my brother will agree!" ”

"No!" Li Li refused without hesitation: "I said just now that Gongjin can't go to the danger in person, and Zijing can't go either!" ”

As soon as he said that, seeing that Lu Su still wanted to advise, Li Li waved his hand and said: "Zijing doesn't need to say much, I will definitely not let Zijing and Gongjin take this risk, and this matter will not be mentioned again!" ”

After a pause in his tone, Li Li's tone changed sharply, and he patiently explained: "Two virtuous brothers, listen to me. I, Li Li, have gone through countless dangers and desperate situations, and have repeatedly turned dangers into disasters, relying on my determination and courage to never give up. I know that there are many thieves in Jinfan, far more than the more than the hundred people in front of me, there must be a large number of thieves lurking in the jungle on the riverbank, but what can I do?

Now we are in a place on a turbulent river, and even if the water is good, the Jinfan thieves do not have the ability to dive under the water to dig through the ferry. Because the undercurrent is so fierce that it is impossible to stay, and the bottom of the boat is so smooth that there is nothing to cling to, there is no need to worry about them diving under the water to scuttle through the ferry. In this way, as long as we hold the ferry so that they cannot get close, even if they have strong bows and crossbows in their hands, they will not be afraid. When I have left this water, I will turn around and kill the thieves who are chasing along the river, so that I can get out of danger safely. ”

At the end of the day, Li Li looked sorry and said: "Gan Xingba is indeed a rare brave general, especially he is good at water warfare, which is exactly the water army general under my command. However, a Gan Xingba is far from being compared with two virtuous brothers, but I will not consider anything that involves the life and death of the two of you, and I will resolutely not let you take this risk! ”

"Although you are hateful and hateful, you are a brave and bloody man! But am I, Gan Ning, really not as good as your two brothers? The previous scene was repeated again, just as Li Li's words fell, but Gan Ning was seen standing on the bow of the ferry behind and shouting loudly.
