C4 Brocade

"A water thief?" Chen Ren's eyes lit up as he stood up and looked in the direction the boatman was pointing. Indeed, two hundred meters to the stern of the boat, there were four ebony boats approaching unceasingly. But strangely, in the middle of these four ships, there were colorful ribbons tied to them.

It was the boatman who had also seen the ribbons between the boats. Chen Ren could clearly see the boatsman's face relax. The boatsman saw Chen Ren looking at him and quickly explained, "Sir, you may rest assured that this is not an ordinary water bandit, but a brocade sail bandit. "This sails thief is famous for robbing the rich and helping the poor. For a small boat like mine, sails thieves will not take action."

"A brocade sail thief?" Chen Ren immediately thought of one person: Ganning! Wasn't this the time when Ganin was a water thief in the Yangtze River?

"Oh?" Hearing the boatman's words, Guo Jia also came closer. "Since you're a water thief, why aren't you afraid?"

After the boatsman found out that he was a brocade thief, he relaxed, and even his complexion returned to normal. Smiling, he said to Guo Jia, "Sir, do you know that on the Yangtze River, as long as we are poor and commoners, who wouldn't talk about brocade thieves' virtues? Ever since this sails thief came to the Yangtze River to do business, not only did he rob the rich and help the poor, but he also chased away all the water thieves that had caused trouble on the Yangtze River. Poor families like us who live on the Yangtze River can also live in peace. "

"Interesting! Interesting! I never thought that there would be such an interesting water thief on the Yangtze River. " Guo Jia clapped her hands and laughed out loud. The usual Guo Jia was a little crude, and the drunk Guo Jia was even more crazy. Chen Ren really couldn't understand how such a person could become Cao Cao's number one strategist.

The four ships approached and slowly glided past Chen Ren's boat. As the boatman had said, the four ships did not make things difficult for them. On the contrary, several boatmen greeted the boatman. Chen Ren sighed in his heart. In this chaotic world, the common people would think that soldiers were the real bandits!

"Stop the boat!" Just as the four ships were about to pass by, a loud shout rang out. With the boatman's practiced movements, the four ships actually forcefully stopped in the middle of the Yangtze River.

"What a fragrant wine!" The boatman! But your ship's wine? " A bold and straightforward voice rang out, and on one of the boats, a tall and sturdy man could be seen. Although his appearance could not be seen clearly, he wore a red and green short-sleeved robe, majestically standing at the stern as he shouted towards Chen Ren.

The boatsman was clearly in a difficult position. Usually, these brocade sails thieves would take good care of these ferrymen, but this wine was clearly given to these scholars. They couldn't possibly take out other people's belongings and present them with treasures, right?

Seeing the man's attire and the attitude of the other bandits, Chen Ren guessed that he was Gan Ning. The corners of Chen Ren's mouth curled up as he shouted, "I have plenty of good wine here. Warriors want to drink it, but get this instead!" At this point, the distance between the two ships was already around a hundred to eighty feet. Chen Ren wanted to test this future generation's ability to be known as the number one water general of the Three Kingdoms.

Ganin hadn't expected to receive such an answer, and his bros all began to heckle him as well. Ganin was surprised for a moment. He then smiled to the sky and bent over to pick up a bundle of rope from the deck of his boat. He then took a long sword from his subordinate's side and tied a dead knot on the handle of the long knife with the rope. He weighed it in his hand, chuckled, and threw it directly at Chen Ren's boat. The long saber brought a strong wind with it, and with a 'sou' sound, it was nailed to the deck of Chen Ren's ship, entering into the handle of the saber.

"I'm here to help too!" With a loud roar, Gan Ning jumped over the river on the ropes and jumped onto Chen Ren's boat swiftly.

Looking at Gan Ning's beautiful skills, no matter if it was the four ships' brocade sail thieves or the boatmen, they all applauded. Even Chen Ren couldn't help but secretly praise Gan Ning in his heart. He truly deserved his reputation.

"Brave men, great skill!" Come! "Catch!" Chen Ren had the intention to befriend her from the start, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy with these jars of fine wine. With a wave of his hand, a jar of wine flew straight to Ganning.

Gan Ning did not stand on ceremony. He took the wine jar and crushed the seal on the bottle with a single palm strike. A strong aroma of wine assaulted his nostrils. Gan Ning took a deep breath and shouted, "Good wine!" With that, he picked up the jar of wine and poured it directly into his mouth. The wine that was poured out from the mouth of the bottle did not flow into Ganin's mouth completely, and a lot flowed out from his neck.

Chen Ren didn't care. As a martial general, drinking wine was like this. Guo Jia, on the other hand, groaned in pain as she watched the wine flow to the deck.

"Ahh!" Ganin drank a fifth of the jar of wine in one gulp. He, who usually didn't get drunk after drinking a thousand cups, was actually feeling faint. A burning smell rose from his stomach to his throat, "Awesome!" What a great feeling! "Hahahaha!"

While Ganin was drinking, Chen Ren was also carefully observing the future Great General of Dong Wu. According to the historical records, Ganning was a person from Linjiang in Ba County, which later came to be known as Zhongxian in Chongqing. Ganning had the appearance of a Sichuan man, with two sword-shaped eyebrows, tiger-like eyes, and a trace of ruthlessness and ruthlessness in his eyes. The collar of his short robe was wide open, revealing firm muscles.

Gan Ning put down the wine jar and used his arm to wipe the leftover wine from the corner of his mouth. He took out a large gold ingot and threw it directly at the boatsman's face that was filled with pain as he saw the gaping hole in the blade.

"Today, I rose up and destroyed your boat. This gold is for you!" Gan Ning said indifferently. He didn't even look at the boatsman as he stared at Chen Ren with great interest. The boatsman happily accepted the gold and thanked him profusely.

"The brocade sail thief is really bold!" Chen Ren, however, was not afraid of Gan Ning's knife-like eyes. He clapped his hands and laughed, "I lost a gold ingot just because I broke a small boat, I'm the only one in the world who has wine. Warriors drank my wine, but I don't know what they want to compensate me for?"

Hearing Chen Ren's words, Guo Jia's face seemed to turn ugly, but she didn't say anything. She held the jar of wine and shrank to the side, muttering something.

Gan Ning didn't notice Guo Jia's abnormality, he hugged the jar of wine and drank another mouthful, then asked, "I can see that you have an extraordinary appearance, even though your clothes are plain, but you definitely won't be interested in these white and yellow things. Speak! As long as I can do it, I won't let you down! "

"Alright!" Chen Ren laughed loudly and said, "I have a rule, this wine was brewed by me, it is the only one in the world. If you want to drink my wine, it's very simple. If you're a scholar, then compete with me in literary talent! "If you were a martial artist …"

"Hahaha!" Gan Ning looked at Chen Ren's slightly emaciated body and laughed, "If I were a martial artist, would a scholar like you want to compete with me?"

"Hahahaha!" Ganin's voice was loud, and everyone on the river could hear him clearly. For a moment, the four boats of the Sailboat Thieves and the boat on which Chen Ren rode exploded with sky-shaking laughter.

There was no change in Chen Ren's expression. He still had that harmless smile on his face, but with his right foot stepping forward and his right hand waving forward, Gan Ning stopped laughing first and looked at Chen Ren in surprise. Although Ganin was not as brave and fierce as General Gan, who joined the army a few years later, he had fought dozens of battles on the Yangtze River. Furthermore, he had been trained in martial arts since he was young. Ganin could tell with a single glance that Chen Ren was like a ferocious tiger out of its cage, much stronger than any opponent he had met before.

Guo Jia, who was standing at the side, was not the least bit surprised. Back when he and Chen Ren had been out on a trip to the North, he had seen Chen Ren single-handedly charge into the bandit's lair. Guo Jiajia muttered to herself, "What kind of monster is this? It's fine if you're an outstanding scholar, but your martial arts are also first class. Do you still want others to live?"

As for Chen Ren, he was already used to seeing Gan Ning's surprised expression. An old man who was on the verge of death, accidentally saved him as a child, turned out to be one of the famous martial artists of the Three Kingdoms era, Zhao Yun's master, Tong Yuan. Under such a bloody plot, Chen Ren became Tong Yuan's youngest disciple, Zhao Yun's Junior Brother.

Right now, Chen Ren's sudden challenge to Gansu was not in line with Chen Ren's low profile. However, for some reason, Chen Ren felt as if a fire was burning in his chest and his entire body was brimming with energy. Perhaps this was the instinct of the fighter his teacher had told him about.

Ganin's eyes also began to change slowly, from surprise to a hint of joy. Chen Ren could see that it was the joy of a well-matched opponent. He took another sip of the wine and slowly put down the jar, afraid that he would spill more wine. Watching Ganin's cautious appearance, Guo Jia who was watching by the side couldn't help but laugh.

Ignoring Guo Jia's teasing, Gan Ning slowly walked five to six steps in front of Chen Ren. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, took a deep breath, and slowly breathed out. If Chen Ren's momentum was like a ferocious tiger, then Gan Ning was now like a lion ready to hunt.

Seeing that Ganin was about to take action, the men on the sails all waved their flags and cheered for him. Guo Jia, on the other hand, was gulping down her fine wine while shouting and hitting them. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like she was watching a good show.
