Dou Bei asked the boatman to row the boat closer, and said to the middle-aged man in a small boat in the middle:
"Akui, this time we have offended the officers and soldiers in order to avoid being harassed by the government. To retaliate, take people back to the city quickly and inform all the disciples in the city not to show their faces in public for the time being, or to move to the countryside outside the city for a while."
The middle-aged man Akui agreed, clasped his fists and said goodbye. The boatman turned the boat around and left quickly.
Dou Bei then said to the disciples standing on the two boats in front:
"A Yuan, you go rent a flower boat now and hold it to the river near Dongyue Temple and wait for us. ."
"Be careful, the boatmen and boat owners have all been replaced by our people, please pay more."
That A Yuan immediately took the order and left with a small boat.
Dou Bei finally said to a white-faced man:
"A Guan, please pass on my order to summon the disciples in the inner hall and secretly surround Huanghua Mountain tonight and set up patrol posts. "No idlers should stay or enter."
The Aguan promised with fists in his hands and went with a boat.
Dou Bei then turned around, smiled and gave the order to the boatman:
"Ship eastward, drive all the way to Taiping Ridge, then turn around and go down the river."
p>
The six boatmen agreed in unison and operated the bird boat to adjust its direction and head eastward along the Songxi River.
When Lan Zhixin, Dongfang Ying and others saw Dou Bei constantly giving orders, they couldn't help but feel strange. They didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd. Lan Zhixin asked first:
" Da Longtou, are you going to play a big show? "Hide and seek with the army?"
Dou Bei smiled and said nothing, Dongfang Ying clapped her hands and said:
"I understand. Brother Dou played a trick of pretending to be true and pretending to be false. He pretended to be leaving Jianning Fucheng, but in fact he intended to enter Fucheng;"
"Kill him when the time comes. Return to the horse, change to a flower boat halfway, and then pretend to be a tourist and go to the city to play. "
"Brother Dou, am I right? "
Dou Bei. He laughed and said noncommittally:
"You'll know when the time comes. It's just a flimsy plan."
"I think you all have a change of clothes, so take advantage of it now." There is still time, why not go and change things, and have fun later."
Gan Taoxian said happily:
"I really want to go to the city to play. Then I have to change into nicer clothes and buy some more local gifts from Jian'an." After that, Lan Zhixin took Lan Zhixin to the room in the bottom cabin to change. Others were also there. Dongfang Ying led them to change their clothes so as not to be recognized by the officers, soldiers and officers.
Dou Bei and Dou Nan also changed into blue and gray gowns. They were no longer dressed like boatmen. They wore top hats and looked like young men from a wealthy family., or a merchant who goes out to do business.
The bird boat rowed towards the Songxi River, which is also called Dongxi in the Jianning Fucheng section. It was already dusk and the sun was gradually setting into the mountains.
Outside Fucheng, in the area around the South Gate, Tongxian Gate, and Dongmen along the Dongxi River, fishing boats sang late and hundreds of boats returned to the harbor. The number of boats moored on both sides of the river gradually became thicker, and there was a lot of people and excitement.
The bird boat where the Jian'an Gang was located traveled eastward for four or five miles on the waterway, then quietly turned around under the cover of night and returned to the direction of Fucheng.
Drifting along the river, when I was approaching Dongyue Temple, I saw a painting boat coming slowly with lanterns hanging on it. When the two boats were three feet away from each other, someone in the painting boat patted the bamboo on the railing. Peng, shouted:
"Everyone loves the yellow flowers and red apricots, who are you coming to ride the wind and waves for?"
Dou Bei stood on the bow of the boat, clapped his hands twice, and responded:
p>
"If I were the Qing Emperor in his future years, I would repay him with peach blossoms blooming everywhere!"
Dongfang Ying, Mingchuan Rongmei and others had already changed their clothes, and some even had simple makeup on their faces. The graffiti conceals the original image.
After hearing Dou Bei’s response, Dongfang Ying said strangely:
“Brother Dou, these two lines of poetry you just mentioned should be from a rebel leader named Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty. You wrote it, why did you use it to communicate with others? It seems a little bit wrong!"
Dou Bei smiled and said:
"You are right. , this is the secret code of our gang. If outsiders don't know it, they will definitely not be able to match it, because they are not a poem at all."
"Brother Ayuan, stop the boat and lift the cockpit. "Put it up."
The person who made the noise on the painted boat was none other than A Yuan from before. He agreed and asked someone to park the painted boat, and then cooperated with others to lift it up by one foot. A wide plank of several lengths was laid across the two ships.
Dou Nan had already directed the boatmen to stop the bird boat. Several long poles were inserted into the bottom of the river, motionless.
Dou Bei jumped onto the boat first and asked Dongfang Ying and others to come quickly and take the boat instead.
Taking advantage of the darkness, everyone quickly moved to the painted boat, and then Dou Nan and six boatmen continued to drive the bird boat around in a circle, still heading upstream of the Songxi River.
Although Lan Zhixin was thinking about her large boxes of belongings, she was too embarrassed to say it. However, Dou Bei saw her worries and promised:
Tonight Dou Nan will hide the boat in a safe place. When everyone leaves the city tomorrow, they will still exchange for the same boat. The boat will be the same as it was when they left. If there is any loss, the Jian'an Gang will be responsible for compensation.
Having said that, Lan Zhixin had no choice but to express her belief in the Jian'an Gang's ability and not to lose things.
What's more, Dongfang Ying's luggage, mounts, and a large number of guns are also on board, so they are not worried.
On this boat, there are also six boatmen, it seems that they have been replaced by Jian'an gang members in advance, and they only obey Yu Dou Bei's orders.
Under Dou Bei's instructions, Huafang turned into the moat from Tong'anmen, commonly known as the Xikou outside the East Gate, followed the moat northward, and soon arrived outside Ningyuan Gate.
This is also called Gaomen. The water is wide on the north side of the city gate, and many boats are parked there. The boat docks at the shore of the city gate. Everyone gets off the boat and enters Jianningfu City through Gaomen.
After Dou Bei arranged for everyone to change their clothes and appearance, and change their boats, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate did not feel anything unusual and allowed everyone to enter easily without much questioning.
This Jianning Fucheng deserves to be the capital of Fujian, a thousand-year-old ancient city. The Fucheng is tall and prosperous, with numerous streets, noisy markets, and bustling people. It actually far surpasses Yanping Fucheng and catches up with the provincial capital of Fuzhou.
After all, Lan Zhixin and Dongfang Ying are the generation of women. Who doesn't like the excitement and shopping and admiring the scenery? They are naturally in high spirits and dizzying.
As for Gan Taoxian, she was even more excited. Zhenghe County was also under the jurisdiction of Jianning Prefecture and was only a one-day trip from the prefecture. She deeply felt the throbbing feeling of "fear of being close to the countryside".

Tomorrow she would see her hometown after ten years of absence and the family members she missed so much. She had to buy all kinds of gifts and give them to her family and neighbors.
She took all the money she had accumulated over the years with her and planned to spend half of it on buying gifts.
As a landlord, Dou Bei naturally acted as a tour guide. He only took two gang disciples with him, walking in front, leading everyone to visit various interesting neighborhoods, alleys, and department stores.
Pass by Xiangefang, Tianhou Palace, Dengjunfang, cross the inner city moat from Yongze Bridge, pass Yongqing Gate, view the Bell Tower, Wangfu Yamen, Guanzhi Mountain, and start in front of the Jian'an County Yamen and Ouning County Yamen Passing through, I saw the majestic Wufeng Tower.
It is said that this is a majestic gate tower specially built to show the atmosphere of the imperial capital when the Fujian Emperor Wang Yanzheng ascended the throne during the Five Dynasties period.
Later, the Wufeng Tower became the drum tower of Jianning Fucheng, with bells on the left and drums on the right, and the Fucheng was organized. The dream of the emperor was no longer, and the giant tower was still popular. It has become the symbol and prosperous area of the ancient city.
Dou Bei led everyone up to the Wufeng Tower and looked south at the three waters of Xixi, Dongxi and Nanxi. The South Water Tower stood high on the water bank, and the atmosphere was vast;
Go around to the north On the side porch, you can see the neat palaces and pavilions of the former Fujian emperors, the flag mountain with a tiger perched on a dragon's plate, and the dim lights of the City God's Temple. Everyone secretly sighed that this Jianningfu city really has an imperial style, and it is a rare geomantic treasure.
After playing for a long time, everyone went downstairs happily and bought a lot of gifts at the Chenghuang Temple. Because today was the annual temple fair of Dongyue Temple, the city was even busier than before, with more people.
Everyone had been shopping for more than an hour, butFeeling extremely hungry, Lan Zhixin proposed to invite everyone to a restaurant for a meal, but Dou Bei said with a smile:
"Mrs. Bu Lao has spent money. I have already made a speech. Today, all my friends When we come to Jianning City, we, the Jian'an Gang, will be the landlords, and we will bear all the expenses for food, drink and accommodation."
"I have prepared a banquet in a place with great scenery and no one to disturb. "Everyone just go with me."
After saying that, he ordered his men to call a few carriages, let everyone get on the carriages, and drove all the way north, leaving the Confucian Temple and Fengle Gate, along the road. North trench, reaching the foot of Huanghua Mountain.
After parking the carriage, Dongfang Ying and others walked out of the car door and looked up to see a mountain peak standing in front of them. The mountain was covered with lush trees, winding paths, and the pavilions and pavilions halfway up the mountain were lit up with sparks. It was indeed a beautiful scene.
Looking back at the inner city of Fucheng, the hustle and bustle has gone away, and there are no traces of fireworks. Only the calm water of the moat is slightly shimmering.
Dongfang Yingxiao asked:
"Brother Dou, did you hold a banquet on this mountain? If so, it would be elegant to enjoy the wine, view the mountain scenery, and drink in the pine breeze. Very different from the style of your Jian'an Gang!"
Dou Bei dismissed the carriage driver and said with a slight smile:
"I didn't expect that a generation of Oriental heroines would actually be like this! He's so formal, but I don't feel that kind of elegance anymore."
"The main reason why I choose to cleanse you here is because I am afraid that the government will cause trouble and disturb our fun."
"This place is inaccessible. The officers and soldiers would never expect us to have fun here. Even if someone comes to disturb us, we can find it in time and leave calmly."
"Everyone thinks that we can advance on this Huanghua Mountain." Is a dinner okay?"
Dongfang Ying said with a smile:
"In such a nice place, even if there is no delicious food, I still want to feast my eyes on it. "
"It's natural for guests to do as they please and follow Brother Dou's arrangements."
Lan Zhixin also smiled and said:
"Big dragon head. They really took the trouble, not only arranged for us to have a fun trip to Jianning City, but also invited us to eat at this natural restaurant that is close to the city. How could we refuse? ”
Dou. Bei Xinran smiled and said:
"Since you two have no objections, let's go up the mountain. If we continue talking, you will be too hungry to climb."
Everyone was talking and laughing, starting from one The stone steps slowly climbed up, passed an academy, and climbed another twenty or thirty steps until we arrived at a pavilion halfway up the mountain. There were four people guarding the pavilion, and a plaque hung on it with the words "Xianyi Pavilion" written on it.
Dou Bei whistled and said loudly:
"The two dragons and the two rivers merge into one, regardless of north, south and east."
Among the four people A man stepped forward and bowed to Dou Bei and replied:
"Rivers, lakes and seas always meet, and all the poor people in the world are brothers."
That man was A Guan, who was sent by Dou Bei before. He said respectfully:
"Big Dragon Head, everything has been arranged. Please take your seats."
Dou Bei nodded and extended his hand to invite Dongfang Ying, Lan Zhixin and others to enter the pavilion. There is a long table of dishes and drinks, all covered with white gauze, but the strong aroma of wine and vegetables can be felt in the nose.
Lan Zhixin and others saw that Dou Bei had arranged everything in an orderly manner and was very elegant. This was not the behavior of an ordinary Jianghu guild organization. I am afraid that it was nothing more than a wealthy family.
Dou Bei was still humble and polite, and warmly greeted everyone to take their seats. Only when he ordered A Guan and other gang disciples, Dou Bei gained an awe-inspiring majesty that could not be looked up to.
This mountain-viewing pavilion is quite spacious, with two square tables set up around ten feet. People sit on three sides around the railing seats, and they don't feel crowded.
A Guan and four other disciples were serving dishes and pouring wine nearby, like waiters in a restaurant.
Except for Lan Zhixin, Nangong Huiyue and Mingchuan Rongmei, most of the people were ordinary people traveling around the world or hanging out in the city. They were not particular about this kind of food and enjoyment, and they didn't think much of it.
But Lan Zhixin and Nangong Huiyue were very shocked when they heard Aguan talking about the names of the dishes, such as shredded chicken mince, fragrant salted duck, spring plate with bamboo shoots, and spicy and sour kingfish. , soup stock powder balls, hazelnut braised pork ribs...
Just listening to the names of these dishes, you can already imagine how exquisite the dishes are. Then look at these more than a dozen dishes of all kinds, both meat and vegetables, cold and cold. The heat was perfect, and the soup was dry.
In just over an hour, the Jian'an Gang arranged a banquet that was full of color, flavor and aroma, and brought it to the mountainside on the outskirts of the city to arrange it properly.
This must be such a feat. You must know that just now everyone had a head-on fight with the government and the army. The government officials and the garrison must still be searching everyone everywhere, and even the Jian'an Gang was not spared.
However, the Dou brothers arranged a "reception banquet" to entertain everyone under the eyes of the officers, soldiers and officials. The strength of the Jian'an Gang is indeed extraordinary, and its financial resources cannot be underestimated. .
Just when Lan Zhixin and others were secretly horrified, Dou Bei picked up a glass of rice wine and said with a smile:
"Eastern Heroine, and Mrs. Liao, As well as all the brothers and sisters, I, Dou, are honored to have chosen to be friends with me, the Jian'an Clan, thanks to your honor."
"Although the Jian'an Clan is a small sect located on the border of the province. , but the beautiful scenery of Jianzhou has never been an ordinary place, and has given birth to countless sages and heroes."
"My two brothers from the Dou family, as well as the disciples in the gang, have been influenced by this. I have always admired heroes and chivalrous people."
"The Oriental heroine is known as White Horse Red Scarf., became famous, and accomplished several great things that shocked the martial arts world. He also cared about the people and was brave and fearless, which convinced us. "
"Please drink this cup to the full. From now on, you will be a true friend of me, Mr. Dou, and the Jian'an Gang. In Yanjian Shaoshang Sanfu, you can come and go without any worries and feel at home! ”
