While Liu Zhang was busy in Chengdu studying the issue of "production" with Liu Yun and Cai Yan, Gan Ning had been wandering on the Yangtze River for several months.

Gan Ning was not just wandering around the Yangtze River with nothing to do, he was purposefully waiting for an opportunity.

A character Liu Zhang arranged for him to take down.

With a reed in his mouth, Gan Ning lay on the boat with his legs crossed.

The boat swayed with the river water, and it felt as comfortable as it could be.

The Liubai Jinfan Battalion that came with Gan Ning was also on the river, but they also hid in a hidden place.

At this moment, Gan Ning's boat passed by a light boat, approached gradually, and jumped onto it.

"General Gan, I have already made inquiries. Two thieves are planning to hijack a ship on the river north of Spring Valley."

Gan Ning gently opened his eyes and turned to look at the soldiers under his command.

"Spring Valley? How many people did they dispatch?"

Gan Ning knew that the spring valley was a place where the water flow was relatively gentle because of the terrain. If a ship encounters water thieves, it is indeed not easy to escape.

"General Gan, there are more than 500 people under the command of the second thief, and they have all been dispatched."

"Notify the brothers to gather, and let's go to Spring Valley to join in the fun!"

Gan Ning changed his previous leisurely attitude and stood up excitedly.

After waiting for so long, the two finally left their lair.

"Obey!"

The soldiers of the Jinfan Battalion were also very excited. This kind of thing is almost familiar to them, but they haven't experienced it for a long time.

Now that there is another opportunity to cross the river, the Jinfan Camp can show its glory again, and it can also let the Jiangdong water bandits experience the prestige of Berkshire Jinfan!

As reported by the soldiers of the Jinfan Battalion, in the Yangtze River above the Spring Valley, small boats have surrounded the big boats layer by layer.

The water thieves were so excited that they began to climb onto the big ship one after another, causing panic among the passengers on board.

"Stop yelling! Our commander said it won't hurt innocent people! As long as you are honest, you will be safe and sound!"

The people on the boat all curled up together, with uncontrollable fear in their eyes, obviously they didn't believe the words of these water thieves.

However, the boat was much quieter, and after a while, two rough men also boarded the bow.

The water thieves gave way one after another, with respect and passion in their eyes. This also made everyone understand that these two rough men must be the leaders of the water thieves.

"Listen to me, our Jiujiang water thieves are righteous thieves, not bandits who kill innocent people indiscriminately. As long as you hand over your belongings, everyone will be saved from death!"

After hearing the word Jiujiang water thief, the boat passengers were obviously relieved, but their hands were still tightly grasping the burden on their bodies.

"It seems that you are all masters who want money and life! If this is the case, don't blame us for being rude!"

The rough and bearded man directly pulled out the saber in his hand, coupled with his fierce expression, it immediately caused a lot of screams.

"Wait a moment!"

In this chaotic time, someone suddenly shouted, and the voice was full of righteousness.

I saw a person dressed as a scribe coming out. This person was not very old, and he had just reached the crown.

Although well-dressed, the immature color on his face has not faded.

"Boy, are you going out to lead the death?"

For such a frail young man, the water thief leader didn't take him seriously at all. Not to mention one person jumping out, even dozens of people will not pose any threat.

The young scribe didn't seem to hear the water thief leader's threat, and still had a faint smile on his face.

"I've heard that thieves have their own ways, especially the Jiujiang water thieves. Although they make a living by robbing houses, they often hijack aristocratic families and wealthy families. They never embarrass ordinary people. I wonder if the rumors are true?"

The water thief leader rarely showed a smile, and then nodded.

In the era of the end of the Han Dynasty, everyone would pursue fame, from the princes and nobles to the common people.

Even a water thief would not refuse such a commendable name.

"Not bad! I didn't expect you to have some knowledge!"

Seeing the water thief leader readily agree, a smug look flashed in the eyes of the young scribe.

"Since that's the case, I don't know why the leader is embarrassing these innocent people?"

"People? Impossible! I got the news that the people on this boat are all from the Huainan family, and most of them are playboys who do all kinds of evil!"

The water thief leader rejected the young scholar's remarks without hesitation, but the latter was not worried, but stretched his hand aside.

"Let's take a look, chief. May I ask which son of a rich family would dress like this? Isn't he afraid of losing face for his family?"

The water thief leader frowned, and glanced at the hijacked passengers, exactly as the young scribe said.

The clothes of these people are fairly tidy, but the available materials are not flattering, and none of them even have patches on their bodies!

If it is said that the best-dressed one is the young scribe in front of him.

"What the hell! Don't the children of rich families like rags?"

The water thief leader couldn't figure it out, so he could only scratch his head in agitation, and then looked at the other big man beside him.

"Brother, what do you think?"

"Brother, don't fall for this kid's tricks. Just check the clothes and packages of these people!"

The Jiujiang water pirates had obtained the exact information, otherwise they would not have intercepted the ship so smoothly.

If it was true that the young scribes were all ordinary people, how could they be able to sit on such a large ship? What's more, with such a mobilization of troops, the leader of the pirates will not be easily persuaded by a few words of a young scribe.

"Brothers, come on! Check these people carefully. If you find anyone pretending to be a commoner, just find them out!"

When the leader gave an order, the water thieves immediately stepped forward and checked the passengers very roughly.

Fortunately, the boat passengers cooperated very well, and no one dared to resist the water thief.

As time went by, the water thief leader became more and more anxious, and no one was found out.

"Brothers, keep your eyes bright, don't be fooled by the damned family!"

The pirate leader didn't believe it. There are so many people on this boat, isn't there anyone pretending to be a commoner?

It's a pity that things backfired, until the last person was checked, and none of the passengers was caught by the water thieves.

"Boss, they... seem to be real people... and there is no property in the baggage..."

The water thieves were very embarrassed. After checking around, the sum of these people's belongings was pitifully small, and they couldn't get into the water thieves' eyes at all.

"Brother, what's going on here? Could it be that we really hijacked a boatload of people?"

The leader was in a daze, they managed to find out the news and were about to make a big fight, but they didn't expect it to end like this.

Anger welled up on the second leader's face, and he seemed to have understood something.

"Brother, we were fooled! They must have given us false news, and actually crossed the river from another place!"

"what…?"

If this is the case, then the Jiujiang water thieves will be empty-handed this time!

Just as the two were discussing how to act next, there was a panicked cry.

"Boss, it's not good! Someone is attacking us!"
