他们是水匪,可不是生意人,谁还跟你讨价还价？ After the water bandits embark, the black-clothed person told: 水匪们上船后,黑衣人吩咐道: „In goes to plunder the property, comes out the women belt/bring.” “去里面搜刮财物,把女人都带出来。” Also is pointing at Mu Nanzhi: „This woman also carries off, but is not silver, works as to add the head.” 又指着慕南栀:“这女人也带走吧,不过不算银子,当个添头。” Is relaxed, but not lax, right hand throughout according to hilt. 语气轻松,但并没有松懈,右手始终按在刀柄上。 Immediately has the two water bandit to walk toward Mu Nanzhi, holds the blade, makes devils gesture. 当即就有两名水匪朝慕南栀走去,持着刀,做出凶神恶煞姿态。 Suddenly, bang bang two, the water bandit just approached Mu Nanzhi, was shaken by a great strength flies, spits blood to fall to the ground. 突然,砰砰两声,水匪刚靠近慕南栀,就被一股巨力震飞,吐血倒地。 Xu Qi'an in the complexion of black-clothed person drastic change, searches to act, bind rounds his nape of the neck: 许七安在黑衣人剧变的脸色中,探出手,箍住他的脖颈: „Makes them get down.” “让他们下去。” „Next, gets down, gets down entirely” “下,下去,统统下去” The black-clothed person whole face is panic-stricken, his present mood same met the hard stubble with Manager Zhu. 黑衣人满脸惊恐,他现在的心情和刚才的朱管事一样遇到硬茬子了。 The water bandits are in a tumult, they have not thought, a move cuts to kill the predecessor leader character, before this average not wonderful man, an unexpectedly small and weak resembles quail. 水匪们骚动起来,他们万万没想到,一招就斩杀前任首领的人物,在这个平平无奇的男子面前,竟弱小的像一只鹌鹑。 Is a personal servant is so powerful, the Great Hero Miao strength imagines more terrifying Manager Zhu to be startled compared with me at heart secretly. 仅仅是一个跟班就如此强大,苗大侠的实力比我想象中的更加恐怖朱管事心里暗惊。 This all the way, Xu Qi'an poses as the Miao Youfang personal servant. 这一路上,许七安是以苗有方跟班自居。 Water bandit of coming in swarms, swarms to go. 蜂拥而来的水匪,又蜂拥而去。 „Your excellency spares and not punishes too severely, some words are open to discuss, today is I do not know the person of high skill has eyes.” “阁下高抬贵手,有话好商量,今日是我有眼不识高人。” The black-clothed person tone sincere has the entreaty. 黑衣人语气诚恳中带着哀求。 He believes that only if the opposite party does not want the cargo of entire ship, otherwise cannot with oneself fight in which both sides perish. 他相信,对方除非不想要整艘船的货物,否则不会和自己鱼死网破。 Sometimes, the water bandit like them does not fear the expert, because many experts will be based on the casualties, cargo and other aspect reasons, choice compromise. 有时候,像他们这样的水匪根本不怕高手,因为很多高手会出于伤亡、货物等方面原因,选择妥协。 Can with the matter that silver gets through, does not need with assigning/life. 能用银子办完的事,没必要用命。 Xu Qi'an has not really killed him, asked: 许七安果然没杀他,问道: „Where person?” “哪里人士？” „Yu Province!” “禹州！” After a question and answer, Xu Qi'an knows that this black-clothed person called Sun Tai, Yu Province person, rivers and lakes wandering practitioner, the reason that because violated the law and commit crime issued a warrant for arrest by the Yu Province government authorities. 一番问答后,许七安知道这个黑衣人叫孙泰,禹州人士,江湖散人,因为作奸犯科的缘故被禹州官府通缉。 This made him lose in the possibility of some foundation faction, because in various warrant for arrest continents of royal government was sharing. 这让他失去了在某地创建帮派的可能,因为朝廷的通缉令各洲之间是共享的。 Sun Tai starts to wander all over the world, although the pleased love and hate do not lack silver, but after all is only the alone wolf. 孙泰开始浪迹天涯,虽说快意恩仇不缺银子,但终归是只独狼。 With this winter, the cold disaster everywhere, in various continents the order indistinct collapse, no one will respond his most wanted terrorist again. 随着今年入冬,寒灾遍地,各洲之间秩序隐约崩坏,再没人会搭理他这个通缉犯了。 Sun Tai starts to draw in the refugees and other rivers and lakes wandering practitioner, occupies the water in this place is a king, now the flag launching bandit hundred people, calculate a quite good influence. 孙泰开始收拢流民和其余江湖散人,在此地占水为王,如今麾下水匪百人,算一股颇为不错的势力。 According to the development , similar bandit water bandit, will turn this way overthrows the righteous army of royal government, or separates a side „feudal lord”, becomes member Xu Qi'an in big avalanche to sigh one lightly. 按照局势发展,再这样下去,类似的土匪水匪,就会变成推翻朝廷的义师,或者割据一方的“诸侯”,成为大雪崩里的一份子许七安轻叹一声。 „To live?” Xu Qi'an asked. “想活着吗？”许七安问。 Sun Tai nods immediately. 孙泰立刻点头。 Xu Qi'an is pointing at Miao Youfang: „Killed him, you can live, I will not intervene.” 许七安指着苗有方:“杀了他,你就能活,我不会干预。” Then said to Miao Youfang: 接着对苗有方说: „This is your first trial, after two quarters, raises his head to see me. The words of failure, between you and me the masters and disciples friendship ended.” “这是你的第一个试炼,两刻钟后,提着他的头来见我。失败的话,你我之间师徒情谊就此结束。” Ding-dong two, Xu Qi'an kicks the merchant ship Sun Tai and Miao Youfang, two people crash toward the shore. 当当两声,许七安把孙泰和苗有方踢出商船,两人朝着岸边坠落。 He then makes Manager Zhu come to anchor, stops in same place, observes with Mu Nanzhi shoulder to shoulder. 他接着让朱管事抛锚,停在原地,与慕南栀并肩观战。 Manager Zhu was scared, never expected that this personal servant is advocating. 朱管事都吓呆了,没想到这个跟班才是正主。 Mu Nanzhi sees his look to be dignified, asks: 慕南栀见他神色凝重,问道: „Worries about Miao Youfang?” “担忧苗有方？” „I am thinking, if I am Duke Wei, how should govern these by martial artist that the military violates a prohibition?” Xu Qi'an said in a low voice. “我在想,如果我是魏公,该如何治理这些以武犯禁的武夫？”许七安低声道。 Not only the Great Feng enemy the Yun Province band of rebels, these makes use the rivers and lakes person who rebels, for having a full stomach, where arrived to snatch where refugee 大奉的敌人不只是云州逆党,还有这些趁势作乱的江湖人,还有为了果腹,走到哪里抢到哪里的流民 Royal Residence/Wang Residence, in study room. 王府,书房里。 Look dispirited Principal Bulwark Wang is holding a warming stove that roasts the hand, the finger selected the desktop, asked: 神色颓废的王首辅抱着一只烤手的暖炉,指头点了点桌面,问道: „ second son, this is the folding booklet that each region delivers, since beginning of winter, each region banditry has been serious. rivers and lakes wandering practitioner takes advantage of a favorable situation, gathers the refugee, plunders.
