Chapter 82: Talking at Cross Purposes

"Two heroes, why is this?"

Xue tadpole raised his hands and asked.

"Master, look at this man."

As he spoke, Zhang Heng dragged over the red-bearded man whom he had killed with his flying knife in the first place.

Xue Biao looked at the dead corpse in front of him and didn't know what to say.

but.

When he looked closely, he felt that the face of this red-bearded man looked familiar.

"Akasu'er?!"

An idea flashed in Xue Biao's mind and he lost his voice.

"That's right, this ball is Chi Xu'er!" Zhang Shun continued Xue Biao's words.

When Xue Biao heard this, he finally understood why the two brothers wanted to kill these sailors, and at the same time he felt lucky.

This Chi Xu'er was a group of water bandits wandering around the canals around Jinling, and they were accustomed to killing people and stealing goods.

Now that Chi Xu'er has infiltrated the fleet, he must be targeting Xue Biao.

Thinking of this, Xue Biao's expression turned ugly.

If Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun hadn't caught each other, he wouldn't even know how his compatriot Xue Baoqin and his servants died!

No wonder Zhang Heng just wanted to save his life.

Xue Biao, who was filled with emotion, also made a serious life-saving gift to the Zhang brothers.

"I took the money from you and saved your life."

Zhang Shun signaled Xue Biao not to be so petty.

Hearing this, Xue Biao didn't know what to say.

After Xue Biao asked the people who surrendered and confirmed that the other party really planned to hijack the ship and kill people.

Xue Biao was so angry that he asked his servants to take these people into custody until they could be sent to the officials later.

As for the water bandits killed by Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, except for the head of the leader Chi Xuer, whose head was cut off in exchange for reward money, the rest were all thrown into the canal to feed the fish.

After this battle, the two brothers of the Zhang family became Xue Biao's guests.

"Kids, start practicing!"

Zhang Heng put peanuts in his mouth and sat on the bow of the boat, drinking some wine.

As for the people under the water, they were all sailors who he kicked into the canal one by one.

There were about three hundred people rushing, all of them had to keep up with the speed of the big ship with a grimace.

This scene is quite rare.

Yes.

Zhang Heng was nominally in charge of these three hundred sailors.

"Brother, our boss's trip is not an easy one."

Zhang Shun sat next to his eldest brother and said in a low voice.

Why do we need to recruit so many sailors when we go to the capital?

The two brothers thought that Xue Biao recruited so many people because he wanted to make a career overseas.

The two brothers Zhang Heng were unhappy with the boat capsizing last time, so they planned to do it again.

That's why they signed up to join Xue Biao's caravan.

But don't want to.

Xue Biao went straight to the capital without stopping along the way.

What use can a group of men who have been soaked in water in the south do in the capital?

Hearing this, Zhang Heng couldn't help but have a flash of thought in his eyes.

What my younger brother said is true.

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Zhang Heng planned to ask Zhang Shun what he thought.

"Brother, according to a certain family, this Dong Xue family is going to join the White Lotus Sect?!"

Zhang Shun expressed his bold guess.

"White Lotus Sect!?" Zhang Heng's expression changed slightly.

Although he was in Jiangzhou, he later went to the coast.

But I have also heard that the White Lotus Sect in the capital is doing great things.

"Why is it that Dong Xue's family has such a hard time as merchants that they want to follow the White Lotus Sect to kill their heads?"

Zhang Heng was puzzled.

Zhang Shun also shook his head, he was just making a guess.

After all, the White Lotus Sect thief controls the canals in the Gyeonggi area, and maybe he wants more manpower.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Xue Biao mobilized a large number of troops and led sailors to the capital.

"You and I, brothers, cannot do this rebellion."

If the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun had not met Jiangzhou Zhizhou, they would have done this kind of thing.

However, in the hands of the layman Jiaxuan, most of the gangsterism of these two people was wiped away.

It can be seen how much losses these two people suffered in Jiangzhou.

"If this Dong Xue family really wants to be a thief, you and I can just find an opportunity and run away."

Zhang Heng thought of this and reminded his second brother.

Anyway, with the abilities of the two brothers, they can make a living anywhere in the world.

"My little brother knows." Zhang Shun nodded clearly.

If Xue Biao knew that the two Zhang brothers suspected that he was going to join a bandit, his expression would be particularly exciting.

"We are almost arriving in Gyeonggi."

Xue Biao looked at today's itinerary and muttered to himself.

Now that the White Lotus Sect thieves have blocked the canal, it is naturally impossible for the Xue family's fleet to enter the capital.

Originally, Xue Biao planned to take the land route, bypassing the Xianping City area, and was met by the imperial army led by Lin Chen.

But Xue Biao was a little hesitant.

Because there was one more person in the caravan on this trip, and she was his sister.

If something happened to Xue Baoqin, he would not dare to see his late father even after Xue Baoqin died.

"What should I do?"

Xue Biao looked grave, but he also thought of a way, which was to send someone to notify Lin Chen to bring someone to respond.

For a moment, Xue Biao couldn't think of any good candidates.

The servants and boys under him are of no use in such matters.

Suddenly.

Xue Biao thought of the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun.

Not only are these two men extraordinary in courage, but their courage is also second-to-none.

From Xue Biao's point of view, such a person would definitely not be willing to stay in a caravan and become the general manager.

That being the case.

Why don't you give these two people a chance?

Based on Xue Biao's understanding of Lin Chen, the other party would definitely reuse these two brothers.

When the two brothers of the Zhang family are prosperous, Xue Biao will still have a recommendation and friendship.

Thinking of this.

Xue Ke's heart was moved.

Taking advantage of the night, he held up a lantern and found the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun who were about to go to bed.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Xue Ke coming with a food box of wine and meat, the two brothers subconsciously looked at each other, and they didn't know what they thought of.

The wine and meat were placed on the table, and the three sat opposite each other.

Zhang Heng put a piece of braised meat in his mouth and drank half a pot of wine.

"Mr. Xue, good wine!"

After a few rounds, the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively.

"Two heroes, I think you are not mediocre people, but are you willing to spend your whole life in a muddle?" Xue Ke also drank a few glasses and said with the help of alcohol.

For the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, this little bit of wine is nothing.

"Brother, it's really coming." Zhang Shun gave his eldest brother a look.

Zhang Heng returned a look, indicating that he would continue to listen to Xue Ke.

"There is a fortune here, but I don't know if you two dare to accept it!"

Xue Ke said in a rather excited tone, but the two people at the same table looked strange.

Huh?

Xue Ke was stunned without getting an answer, and looked at the two brothers of the Zhang family who were dressed and tying their belts.

What does this mean?

"Boss, we two brothers don't plan to be thieves in this life, let alone rebel?"

Zhang Heng bowed.

Zhang Shun continued: "As the saying goes, people with different beliefs cannot make plans together. If the things tonight are not heard by the fourth person, we will leave now."
