Chapter 72 Gan Ning's Whereabouts
It only took about two hours to get from Pengze County to Pengze, but it took four hours now, not because they spared the long way and walked slowly.
The most important thing is that there are too many bandits on the road. For such a long time, they have directly destroyed more than ten stockades.
After walking out of Pengze Mountain, there is a wide plain. In fact, this place is also very suitable for life.
Because of Pengze, the land in this place is also very fertile. If rice is grown, the output will definitely increase.
However, because there are too many water thieves in this area, most of the farmers who originally lived here abandoned their fields and migrated further afield.
There are only a few fishermen who live here. Most of these fishermen are destitute people, and their homes are not three feet tall, so the water thieves generally let them go.
Their real targets are those merchants who transport by water. Those families with little power and no one to support them are their first candidates.
They still don't dare to provoke the real big forces, and they don't touch the things of the imperial court. These are taboos.
Because of these reasons, Pengze County and the surrounding counties have not abandoned this kung fu, because Pengze is at the junction of several counties.
, so it's not surprising that this happens.
These water thieves were even more familiar with Peng Ze's situation than the officers and soldiers. They were like cunning loach among Peng Ze.
Another point is that the water thieves themselves have a characteristic, that is, they can't catch them, they can't catch them, and every time the nearby county wants to use them for surgery, they can also escape along the Yangtze River.
These water thieves are much stronger than ordinary officers and soldiers, and among them, the Jinfan thieves are even more prominent.
However, the current Jinfan thief has not yet developed, otherwise, it is estimated that the imperial court will start to pay attention, and I don't know if Gan Ning has realized the secret method of training the Jinfan thief.
"This old man, do you know where there are water pirates here?"
Qin Shuo saw an old man who was weaving a net on the shore, so he walked up alone and asked.
"Ma What Mei?" The old man's ears didn't seem to be very good, and he said something wrong.
"I said, old man, have you ever seen a water thief, where is there a water thief here?"
Qin Shuo repeated it loudly.
"Water thieves? Why do you want to know this? We are all ordinary people, how do we know what water thieves are? You also know that they are thieves. If everyone knew where they were, they would not be thieves."
The old man didn't turn
Turning his head, he continued to do what he was doing while talking.
"Then do you know how many pirates are there? Or how many pirates are there?"
Qin Shuo changed his question again.
"I don't know how many water thieves are entrenched in the 800-mile Pengze Lake. If you ask the number, I really can't say. Anyway, there should be about 30,000 or 40,000 people."
"Look at your appearance, are you officers and soldiers? If these few officers and soldiers are known by those water pirates, it is estimated that all of you will be arrested and killed. can destroy them."
The old man said, it seems that he has also lived here since he was a child, and has never left his homeland.
This is a disadvantage of the tenfold increase in the world's population. Originally, there should have been four or five thousand water thieves in Hongze Lake in real ancient times, but in the game it suddenly increased by so many times.
It's no wonder that these counties have nothing to do with these water thieves, because they can't beat them.
These water pirates are basically grouped together. Although there are some contradictions in normal times, and they will fight with each other, when the officers and soldiers arrive, they will also be unanimous.
I don't know how many soldiers who have paid for the past few years have fed the lake bottom of Pengze.
, Tie Hanhan, who came to suppress the bandits all because of some merits, did not get the merits, but his own life was taken in.
"It's a little bit more difficult now."
Qin Shuo smacked his mouth, but also felt a little helpless.
Some of what I thought was too good. The player in the previous life didn't know how to conquer Gan Ning. Now it's very difficult for me to even encounter it.
"Recently, a new wave of water thieves came outside, all of them are young people. I don't know what caused the trouble, and the officers and soldiers of Jingzhou chased them here."
The old man seemed to have remembered this matter, and he was probably a little bored, so he said it unintentionally.
The speaker had no intention, and the listener had a heart. This sentence also caught Qin Shuo's attention.
The new gang of water pirates? A bunch of young people? Jingzhou?
These three news all pointed to one thing, that is, this group of water thieves should be Gan Ning and his group of sloppy friends.
"So how are they doing now? Have they been caught by officers and soldiers?" Qin Shuo also asked nervously. If he was really caught, he would be in trouble.
"No, dead." The old man said casually.
"Dead?" Qin Shuo suddenly felt like a thunderclap, how could this be possible? Gan Ning is also one of the Three Kingdoms
A very important general, why did he die?
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Qin Shuo asked quickly.
"It's not,
However, at that time they were arrested by officers and soldiers, and the little thieves in Peng Ze didn't dare to help, so most of them were caught, and a small number of them jumped into the lake injured. "
The old man said, in his opinion, even if a person with good water ability jumps in this Peng Ze, it is not much different from death.
The point is that the place where they jumped into the river is almost two miles away from the shore. According to normal logic, few can swim so far when they are injured.
But after hearing this sentence, Qin Shuo was also relieved. The system would not let these important historical generals die without the intervention of the players, otherwise the future history would also be greatly changed.
For someone who jumped into a river, without witnessing death with his own eyes, he could basically conclude that Gan Ning had nothing to do with it.
In other words, Gan Ning should still be in the vicinity of Peng Ze, and he should not be able to run far if he is injured.
Even so, it's not easy to find Gan Ning's whereabouts. Looking at the endless lake, Qin Shuo sighed softly.
