Mrs. Rebirth

As an examiner who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, Zuo Shaoqing couldn't let himself be too abnormal. Since he got on the boat of the Cao Gang, he spent most of his time in the room, holding a book and studying.

His knowledge is not top-notch, it is nothing more than taking advantage of years of experience in his previous life and knowing the exam questions in advance.

It's just that many things have changed now, and he is not sure whether the things he knows are also changing in an unpredictable direction.

Especially when they bumped into two passenger ships being besieged by pirates in the Three Gorges, Zuo Shaoqing was even more sure: his life was really different!

The Three Gorges Bay is said to have nine bends and eighteen bends. The river is curved. Some places are extremely shallow, and some places are extremely deep. On both sides of the river, there are high mountains and lush forests that cast dark reflections. It is a dangerous place on the river.

It is rumored that there are bandits' villages in the surrounding mountains, but because of the complicated terrain, the government sent soldiers several times and even failed to find the opponent's lair, so many boats will be robbed here every year.

In addition to the trading merchant ships, the Cao Gang usually has a patrol fleet, but it is impossible to keep an eye on it for twelve hours a day, which gives the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Therefore, when everyone in the Cao Gang saw that someone in their sphere of influence was robbing business, they took up weapons one after another, and jumped into the water without saying a word.

Zuo Shaoqing looked at the men swimming happily in the water, and couldn't help shivering. It's not spring yet, and although the river isn't frozen, it's predictably cold.

"Master Lu, they act like this... so recklessly?"

Yang Yi stood beside the two of them, curled his lips when he heard it, and retorted: "It's a little thing, why don't you ask the helper?"

Compared with the regular army, the Cao Gang is indeed disorganized and undisciplined, and it is okay in major matters. When this kind of encounter with water bandits on the way halfway, they all go straight to the field with weapons!

Yang Yi handed Lu Zheng a clairvoyance, which the brothers finally snatched from the Dongyang people, and there were only two of them in total.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Zheng knew the usefulness of this thing, and after using it, he decided to equip all sailors with this thing.

Dayang's navy is not strong, and they are scattered in several places along the coast. The poor equipment makes Lu Zheng frown.

If Zhan Yuanfeng wants to develop business overseas, he must first strengthen his navy. Not only are the pirates on the sea waiting to be wiped out, but the overseas countries are also a big threat.

Lu Zheng looked at it for a while and then handed the things to Zuo Shaoqing. The navy must be strengthened first. Not only the pirates at sea are waiting to be wiped out, but also the overseas countries are not a small threat.

Lu Zheng looked at it for a while and then handed the things to Zuo Shaoqing. There were not many people on the other side. Seeing the Cao Gang's fleet approaching, some timid ones jumped ship and ran away. The rest were nothing to worry about.

Zuo Shaoqing imitated Lu Zheng's appearance with great interest and put the clairvoyant in front of her eyes, and suddenly took a breath, this thing can clearly see what happened a mile away, no wonder it can be called clairvoyant.

He secretly blamed himself for his lack of knowledge. In his previous life, he lived in vain for 20 years. In this life, he must open his eyes wide and take a good look at this vast world.

"Huh..." Zuo Shaoqing adjusted his direction, stared at one place for a while, and muttered, "It's him!"

Half an hour later, the Cao Gang's fleet had already surrounded the opponent, and Zuo Shaoqing saw that there were many tied up men on the decks of many ships.

"Shaoqing?" A male voice came from not far away, and it came into Zuo Shaoqing's ears clearly. He didn't think he could hear it, because Lu Zheng had already turned his head and asked, "Acquaintance?"

Zuo Shaoqing raised a dangerous line, "It's Brother Qu, also from Youxi Town, and he's a disciple of Bachelor Yin."

Although Xueshi Yin has the name of a scholar, he did not serve as an official in the imperial court, but a well-known hermit in Dayang. Many students are proud to worship the Yin family. It is rumored that Xueshi Yin has a disciple who entered the house, who was raised by him since childhood Yes, it is also a popular candidate for this year's champion.

And that person is none other than Jiang Hengzhou!

This is also one of the reasons why Zuo Shaoqing is reluctant to get close to Qu Changqing, even if this reason is a bit of anger.

Zuo Shaoqing waved to Qu Changqing from a distance, and asked, "Brother Qu is okay?"

When the two boats approached, Qu Changqing couldn't wait to step on the planks of the two boats and ran over. He anxiously took Zuo Shaoqing's hand and asked, "Why is Shaoqing on the boat of the Cao Gang? But he was also in danger on the road?"

Zuo Shaoqing withdrew his hand back hard, gave an ambiguous smile, and replied: "Little brother is lucky." As for the good luck, does it mean that he met the Cao Gang before he was in danger or was rescued after he was in danger? Let Qu Chang Let Qing understand for himself.

At this time, a strong man jumped over from the opposite boat, and asked Lu Zheng respectfully, "What should I do with those pirates?"

It was only then that Qu Changqing noticed the man standing beside Zuo Shaoqing. He looked twice in surprise. He didn't expect that the boss of the Cao Gang was such a handsome and majestic young man.

This man can be regarded as their savior, Qu Changqing is not pretentious at all, he bowed to Lu Zheng, "Thank you strong man for saving me!"

Lu Zheng glanced at him lightly, dissatisfied with his holding Zuo Shaoqing's hand before, so he turned his head without saying a word, and asked Yang Yi: "How did you deal with this kind of thing before?"

Yang Yi replied in a loud voice: "If anyone is injured or injured, he will be executed on the spot. If no one is killed, he will be turned over to the government."

Lu Zheng nodded, quite satisfied with this treatment, and said to the disciples of the Cao Gang waiting aside: "Old rules!"

It was embarrassing for Qu Changqing to be ignored, but it was not easy to make trouble, after all, he had just rescued the two of them.

He quietly tugged at Zuo Shaoqing's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Is my brother being bullied here?"

According to his thinking, Zuo Shaoqing's temperament is soft, pure and kind-hearted, and it may be difficult to get along with these reckless men.

Zuo Shaoqing understood, and replied loudly: "How come? Don't look at the rough behavior of the elder brothers of the Cao Gang, but they are rare honest and forthright people."

Yang Yi couldn't help but glared at him when he heard this, and thought to himself: Can this scholar speak?Where are they being rude?Does one have to be as polite as their scholars to be called dignified?Then do they still hang out?

But it is true that they are honest and forthright.

After the Cao Gang finished counting the number of water bandits and asked what happened, and returned the stolen property to the owner, it was already half an hour later.

A young man trotted up to Yang Yi, whispered into his ear, "Second brother, do you really want to send him to the government? We don't have this custom?"

When did they catch someone and throw them into the river to feed the fish?

"Nonsense! We are the heads of the family who eat public rations, how can we ignore human lives? If we don't have that habit, we will get into this habit." Yang Yi stared at him and urged: "Go quickly, don't forget to ask the official for a reward! "

When the young man heard that there was a bounty, he laughed so hard that his eyes nearly disappeared, and promised, "Hey, I'll go right away, little brother!"

The two boats that were rescued were all carrying exam-taking students to Beijing. The people from the Cao Gang looked around when they were lightly picking up their belongings just now, and came back angrily after making sure that there was no money to be salvaged.

Not long after, a group of well-mannered young people came over to thank them, the leader even Zuo Shaoqing couldn't help being stunned when he saw it.

The young man was about the same age as Qu Changqing, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a crescent moon white cloth that fit well, and a black cloak over his head.

Zuo Shaoqing noticed that the people on the two boats were led by him, and immediately became curious about his identity, but his curiosity didn't last long, because Qu Changqing who was beside him had already called out to him: "Brother Hengzhou! , come here quickly!"

Zuo Shaoqing's whole body tightened, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes. This amazingly talented young man turned out to be Jiang Hengzhou, whom he had always regarded as his enemy?The champion of this year's imperial examination?

It turned out to be such a handsome young man with extraordinary appearance. If he was Lu Zheng, he would probably look at him differently, right?

Zuo Shaoqing suddenly wondered, could it be that in the last life Lu Zheng also saved the two boat people halfway like this, and then met Jiang Hengzhou, fell in love at first sight, and could not extricate himself from then on?

He was not in the mood to care about those students, and turned around to stare at Lu Zheng nervously. He admitted that he was scared, and there was no reason to talk about the love affair. Maybe Lu Zheng liked such a person?

Zuo Shaoqing's palms were sweating nervously, and his whole body was cold. He really wanted to hold Lu Zheng's hand, lean on his warm chest, and prove with actions that this life is different. This man is own.

Lu Zheng saw his abnormality, reached out to touch his forehead, and felt the cold sweat, frowned and asked: "What's the matter? But you have a cold?"

Zuo Shaoqing pressed his palm, drawing warmth from his palm, he shook his head with a pale face, "It's okay, maybe it's because there's too much wind."

Lu Zheng didn't have the mood to bother with the students who came to thank him anymore, so he took Zuo Shaoqing by the arm and led them into the cabin, leaving behind a group of stunned students and Qu Changqing who was in doubt.
