Three ones, prop up the long pole and drift along (cough, seeking votes)

  "Little brother..."

  Yu Guoan and Yu Guoning both looked downcast, and when they glanced at Yu Guozhen, their eyes dodged slightly.

  "It doesn't matter, it's inevitable after all, this is the first time out." Yu Guozhen didn't think much of it, if he hadn't had experiences from another life, gone to school, been a soldier, gone to sea and climbed mountains, he wouldn't be any better than these two brothers.

  "You're also out for the first time!" Yu Guoan muttered: "But I think you're more experienced than Dad!"

  Liu Ruyi heard this sentence and looked at Yu Guozhen's eyes with even more surprise, Yu Guozhen was so experienced on his first trip out!

  She recalled what was said in the storytelling and balladry, that Zhuge Liang, at the age of 27, just came out of his thatched cottage, could offer a plan to set fire to Bó Wàng. Could it be that this Master Yu is also a figure like Zhuge Liang?

  Her little thoughts, Yu Guozhen didn't notice, he looked at the crowd: "Let's go, we have to leave Suzhou City quickly, a strong dragon doesn't suppress the local snake, those people will come back to their senses and still give us trouble."

  Yu Guoan and Yu Guoning were very obedient this time, packing up their luggage according to instructions. The group then headed towards the dock, still 300-400 feet away from where their boat was moored. Suddenly, Gao Bupo exclaimed: "Young Master!"

  Yu Guozhen turned his head to look back, and saw a group of men in blue tight clothes with fierce faces walking quickly towards them. His eyes scanned the group, and he saw that among them was the "big brother" of those scammers.

  "Hurry up."

  Yu Guozhen said in a low voice that there were more than thirty people on the other side, but they had less than ten people, and those who could really take action were only him and Gao Jiafu.

  Not to mention there is also Liu Rushi, this weak and gentle woman!

  Yu Guoning and Yu Guoan also knew it was wrong, so they started running. Yu Guozhen ran two steps before realizing that Liu Ruisi had small feet and couldn't run at all. He stopped and turned around to look at Liu Ruisi, who didn't seem panicked, but instead opened her black and white eyes wide.

  "Excuse me." Yu Guozhen said, then bent down and lifted up Liu Rushi's body.

  Liu Ru let out a low cry, and then felt as if she had mounted a horse that was galloping rapidly, with the pedestrians and trees on both sides of the road quickly receding into the distance.

  "Seize them!"

  "Hit it! Hit it!"

  Behind him came such a shout, the group of rascals knew they had found themselves and started chasing wildly. Yu Guozhen was carrying someone on his back, so he ran a bit slower. When Liu Ruo turned her head to look back, she saw that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

  "Let him go, Young Master Yu can leave first!" Liu Rusi shouted.

  "Don't move!"

  "She is a woman, they won't make things difficult for me!"

  "I will not entrust the safety of women and children to the moral character of the enemy."

  Yu Guozhen's answer was simple and powerful, but it struck Liu Ruzi's heart like a heavy hammer. She had always wanted to find a true hero and a good man, which was almost her wish since she came of age. However, she never had her own opinion on what a true hero and a good man were. At that time, the prevailing view was that "those who wore flowers and strolled in the streets outside the East Huamen" were good men, as said by Han Qi, a famous minister of the previous Song dynasty. Liu Ruzi couldn't help but be influenced by this view, and the ones she thought worthy of entrusting her life to were always those Confucian scholars.

  But at this moment, all her previous thoughts collapsed.

  Isn't it a good boy? In her heart, there is a new standard, that is Yu Guozhen!

  Like Yu Guozhen, do not entrust the safety of women and children to the enemy's morality, but sacrifice one's life to protect the women and children around him, this is a real good man!

  Yu Guozhen let out a loud shout after drinking, and found that Liu Ruzi's body stiffened for a moment. He bowed his head and ran wildly, having no time to pay attention to Liu Ruzi's reaction, but soon, Liu Ruzi's hands, which were originally supporting him on his back, wrapped around his neck, holding him tightly. Liu Ruzi's body also leaned forward, lying flat on his back.

  Her soft and fragrant body, although only fourteen years old, already made Yu Guozhen feel a little unusual.

  He was carrying Liu Ruo Shi and running at a slower speed, Yu Guo Ning and Yu Guo An, who were originally unable to catch up with him, had now also run ahead of him, while Gao Bu Ping and Gao Er Zhu turned back to support him.

  Liu Ruxi pressed her face against Yu Guozhen's back, although the one carrying her was just a young man, not much older than her, but at this moment, Liu Ruxi felt as if she were lying on top of a mountain.

  That mountain is solid and sturdy, unshakeable by wind or rain.

  For more than three years, Yu Guozhen got up early every day to run with sandbags tied to his legs, which became increasingly heavy. Now he can carry a person on his back without much effort. Before the thugs caught up, they ran onto the dock and Yu Guoning and Yu Guoan had already jumped aboard and hastily ordered the boatman to set sail.

  "Stay on the boat!"

  Yu Guozhen took three steps and two steps across the gangway, putting Liu Rushi down, turned his head back, that group of rascals had already chased to the dock, just now in order to protect him on the gangway, Gao Bupang and Gao Erzhu were both tied up behind.

  "Set sail! Set sail!" Yu Guoning shouted loudly.

  Yu Guozhen ignored him, picked up a bamboo pole with his hand, shook it a few times, felt that it was still quite handy, and then jumped ashore with the help of the gunwale.

  His action stunned Liu Ruyi.

  Yu Guozhen had already boarded the ship and was safe, but Gao's father and son were just his servants, so why did he jump back onto the shore to put himself in danger?

  That long bamboo pole was over 20 feet long. Yu Guozhen swept it horizontally with force after he got ashore, and instantly knocked down a large number of thugs who were approaching him. Yu Guozhen commanded loudly: "Erxin, you get on the boat first!"

  "Hey, young master, get on the boat!"

  "Are you going up? You're even more capable than I am?"

  The two of them were talking, but their hands weren't idle. In just these two sentences, two rascals had already been knocked to the ground.

  However, the number of thugs gathering is increasing, initially there were only over thirty people, but now there are already more than fifty people. Although their skills are ordinary, with so many people, even if the three of them can fight against ten, this is still a losing battle.

  "Go back and keep an eye on those two for me, don't let them take the boat away." Yu Guozhen urged again.

  This time, Gao Er Zhu could only jump back onto the boat. Just as Yu Guo Zhen had expected, Yu Guo Ning and Yu Guo An, who were already panicked, hadn't started rowing yet, but their appearance clearly indicated that if anything went wrong on shore, they would immediately set off in the boat.

  "Old Gao." Yu Guozhen swept the bamboo pole horizontally, knocking over two thugs before making a gesture towards Gao Bu.

  Gao, not fat, shouted loudly and rushed towards the hoodlums. Although he was dark and thin, when he got angry, his hair stood on end. This shout and rush drew the attention of the hoodlums away, but after rushing a few steps, he stopped, turned around and ran back.

  Those rascals saw this, and only then did they realize that they had been intimidated by his false bravado. They turned towards Gao Bu and chased after him. Just at this moment, Yu Guozhen suddenly thrust in with his bamboo pole, using it as a spear to jab left and right. His movements were smooth and familiar, all simple military killing techniques. In an instant, two of the rascals were knocked down by him. Although the tip of the bamboo pole was not sharp and could not truly pierce through the body, those who were hit felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and for a time, they could not get up.

  Yu Guozhen angrily charged forward, and the bamboo pole stabbed out again. This time it hit the "big brother" of that group of swindlers.

  After stabbing the swindler, Gao Bu, who had an understanding with Yu Guozhen, turned around and grabbed the swindler again. He was born dark and thin, but he had a lot of strength, and the seven-foot-tall swindler was still caught by him like a small dog and dragged back.

  "Board the ship." Yu Guozhen ordered.

  Gao Bu Pang didn't hesitate, and with Zhang Da Ge on his back, he boarded the ship. Then he lifted up the gangway: "Set sail!"

  "Huh?" Yu Guoning and Yu Guoan were both stunned for a moment, but seeing the dozens of thugs charging towards them again with menacing momentum, they didn't say anything else.

  "You can't leave, your young master is still on the shore, he's come to receive you, how can you be so disloyal!" Liu Ru raised her eyebrows and stretched out her arms to block Gao Bu.

  "The young lady is kind-hearted, just rest assured, this is the idea of my family's little official." Gao Bu Piao was slightly stunned, and did not expect that Liu Ruo Si would have such courage.

  Liu Ruxi still held out her arm to block him: "No way!"

  At this time, Gao Erzhu also understood Yu Guozhen's meaning. He bypassed Liu Rushi and went over to grab a pole from a boatman's hand, using force to push it once. The boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the center of the water.

  "How can you be like this, you, you..."

  Liu Ruzi was furious, she turned her head to look towards the dock, and saw that Yu Guozhen had started swinging his bamboo pole again. Those thugs saw that the boat had already left the shore, leaving only Yu Guozhen alone, they knew he couldn't escape, so none of them dared to come forward. But Yu Guozhen charged forward repeatedly, and after knocking down two more thugs, he turned around and rushed back towards the dock.

  But by this time, the boat had already drifted more than three zhang away from the shore. Even if he could jump again, he wouldn't be able to jump onto the boat and would only fall into the water.

  Those rascals are familiar with Suzhou City, and their swimming skills must be good. If Yu Guozhen falls into the water, he will definitely be caught by them. Breaking his arms and legs is secondary, and he may even risk his life!

  Liu Ruo ran to the bow of the boat, so angry that she wanted to jump into the water. But at this moment, she saw Yu Guozhen lift up the long pole and then thrust it fiercely into the gap between the stone slabs on the dock. The bamboo pole first bent into an arc, and Yu Guozhen's body took advantage of the momentum to jump up. When the bamboo pole started to rebound, it was just when Yu Guozhen's jumping force was almost exhausted. Borrowing this rebound force, Yu Guozhen jumped out a full four zhang (about 12 meters) and landed on the bow of the boat with a thud.

  Yoo-ah was just running to this position, and Yoo Guk-jin collided with her. Yoo-ah only felt a flash in front of her eyes, then her body flew backward and fell out.

  Fortunately, Yu Guozhen had already loosened his grip on the bamboo pole and quickly wrapped his arms around her, although the inertia still caused them to fall, but as they fell, Yu Guozhen rotated his body to use his own body as a cushion, preventing Liu Ruo from getting hurt.

  "Row quickly!"

  Yu Guozhen got on the boat, and before he gave any orders, several mouths shouted out at the same time. The Sanmingwa's black-awninged boat swayed back and forth, and then moved north along the river. Meanwhile, the thugs on the shore gathered together, starting to curse loudly, but for a while, they had no other way except cursing.

  "Haha, a bunch of trash." Gao Erzhu laughed loudly.

  Yu Guozhen also smiled, he turned his face, looking at the big brother who had not yet caught his breath, revealing a row of sharp white teeth: "This is you coming to provoke me!"

  Although there was no threatening language, just this short sentence made the big brother who was also a bold and powerful swindler feel his scalp numb and his back chill.
