Section 5: Don't worry about the river

The next morning, the sun rises in Yunshu, and there is a kind of indescribable comfort.

After Yang Ling left Fengyang, he went south to Yangzhou Mansion. When I came to the river, I got on the boat, and saw that the lake was as blue as a ring, reflecting the green trees and willows on both sides. Between the lines, the shadow is sufficient, suddenly a embankment, standing on the river surface, like a lonely peak, it can be said: "The water surface is flat at the beginning of the cloud foot is low, and the white sand embankment is in the green poplar shade." ”

Yang Ling stood at the bow of a boat, quietly looking at the lake and mountains, even if there was haze, it should be swept away. But he groaned abruptly: "At night when the wood falls on the Hanchuan River, the West Lake hangs a jade hook." The flag is around the water, and the boat is in the middle of the stream. The eyes are very much thinking about the past, and the gods are like traveling together. Yaoqin has been extinct for a long time, and Songyun is sad in autumn. ”

This five-character poem comes from Tang Liu Yuxi's "and Xichuan Li Shangshu Hanzhou Weiyue Tour Taiwei West Lake", Liu Yuxi's poem expresses the friendship between him and Li Deyu, the two are fifteen years apart, but they have the same heart and mind, like-minded, and they are friends of Boyazi.

Hengshan Xiahou Kun is heroic and heroic, and the age difference between him and Yang Ling is nearly fifteen, but when he recites this poem, the person he is thinking about in his heart is not the "Zhongzhou Sword", but the owner of Jinling Shenyuan Bingxin Hall - Shen Qingling. The past in "Thinking of the Past" is by no means the Fengyang Conference, but the drama of Dengfeng Xiaotang Waterfall, and the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to join hands to defend against the enemy.

"It turns out that the blue-robed man in the imperial tomb is the 'iron-faced divine doctor' Shen Que Shen Jingyuan, no wonder his medical skills are wonderful. Yang Ling said: "The Shen family in Jinling was originally the number one wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, but Mr. Jing Yuan has never asked about the rivers and lakes in the past ten years, and I have never thought about it to the Shen family. It was expected that the Cangnan faction's action was too big, and it forced the Shen family to come forward. Shen Jingyuan has always been both righteous and evil, so Yang Ling is very afraid and does not want to have any entanglement with him, but since talking to him in the imperial mausoleum, he feels that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not enough to believe, and Shen Que's courage, knowledge, and martial arts are all at the top of the rivers and lakes.

Yang Ling sighed and thought secretly: "It's just that why does Shen Yuan know that I am a disciple of my master? Mo Feien actually had a friendship with Mr. Shen when he was a child? But I always feel that there is some ulterior secret behind Shen Feiyun, but I can't tell what the truth is, no matter what, for now, Shen Yuan is a friend rather than an enemy." When he thought of this, his expression softened: "Qingling, Shen Qingling, looks like Qingyu, Yuyan Lingling...... Why, do I always miss her?"

Yang Ling never wanted to believe that he had already played in Xiaotang and fought against the enemy in the imperial tomb, and unconsciously sprouted admiration for Shen Qingling. It's just that his heart is too high, and the other party has not expressed his position, and he doesn't want to admit it. Knowing lust is the common feeling of Mu Shaoai, he is in his prime, if he does not have the slightest curiosity and good impression of the beauty of the opposite sex, it is too abnormal.

He held his head in his hands, and wanted to throw out this damn thought, but he didn't pay attention to the surrounding scene, and at this moment, a small boat rowed past his boat, and the person on the boat said to the captain in a loud voice: "Row quickly, row quickly!" As soon as Yang Ling raised his head, he heard a coquettish voice: "You slave!

Yang Ling suddenly felt that this voice was extremely familiar, and when he looked into the distance, he saw that there was also a ship coming rapidly not far away, the two people in the bow were tall and one short, the tall one was a young man, and the short one was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

The girl obviously saw him too, and exclaimed with joy: "Brother Yang, hurry, stop the boat behind you!" That woman was none other than Luo Cailing, who had been separated from him for a long time!

When Yang Ling heard that Luo Cailing asked him to block the boat, he knew that there must be a reason, so he didn't have time to ask carefully, so he walked to the stern of the boat at the moment.

At this time, the distance between the two ships was several zhang, and although Yang Ling's light skills were good, he could not jump to it. He looked around, and immediately had a plan, his right hand took the pole of the male pole and inserted it into the lake, the internal force was everywhere, the pole slowly bent into an arc, and then as soon as he loosened his strength, he jumped out immediately like an arrow from the string.

He adjusted his body in the air, and with a single palm move, "Tiger Leaping into the Abyss", attacked the people on the boat.

The man on the boat was unaware of this young man's sudden trick, and hurriedly retreated to avoid it, and Yang Ling made a thousand catties and landed on the boat.

The boat suddenly undertook external force, and when it landed, it shook, and the captain made an "ouch", but he did not stand firm, and "plopped" and fell into the river. Yang Ling expected that this captain was familiar with the water nature, and he was not busy to save it, so he immediately made two moves and greeted the other person. The man was not afraid, took it, and fought back.

There was no rower on the boat, and it stopped in the middle of the river.

Luo Cailing's boat flew to the air, she saw that Yang Ling and the man were fighting very tightly, so she wanted to step forward to help the battle, but the flat boat was a leaf, and she couldn't insert a third party, and she couldn't swim, that is, she was a woman, and it was extremely indecent to fall into the water, so she could only watch and be anxious after all.

The young man beside her persuaded: "Don't be busy, your big brother Yang can handle it." ”

Yang Ling and the man broke down more than ten moves, and he was suspicious: "This person's martial arts are not extremely high, but his techniques are strange, not like the martial arts of Middle Earth." He looked at the man a few more times, a man in his thirties, with a thin face, hooked nose, and fair skin, like a man who had lived in the far north for a long time.

Luo Cailing shouted: "Brother Yang! This person has colluded with Yan Song, but he can't be let go!"

Yang Ling suddenly heard this, and the moves under his hand were more urgent, that person gradually lost his opponent, and the more he retreated, it was not difficult for Yang Ling to defeat him, and if he wanted to capture him, it was limited to a small space, but it was not easy. The young man next to Luo Cailing said: "Brother Yang, this guy doesn't know water, you can beat him down the river!" Cai Ling said suspiciously: "How do you know?" The young man snorted: "Little Taoist, you see, his footsteps and body shape are all far away from the side of the boat, just now Brother Yang's move Wudang long punch hit him in the lower abdomen, he could have stepped on the side and avoided it, but he was willing to take a risk and fight with Brother Yang to retreat, if he was not afraid of water, he would be too stupid." ”

After Yang Ling heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately made a move: "The Wind Moves Pear Flower" slapped the other party's shoulder, and the person who came had no choice but to block it. Cai Ling clapped his hands and asked the boatman to sail the boat over, and the two of them lifted the hook-nosed man up and clicked on the acupoint. Yang Ling also jumped and got into their boat.

When the three of them saw the salute, Luo Cailing pulled Yang Ling and said long and short. "Brother Yang, where have you been these days? How about Yan Song's Fengyang Conference? Why did you get here? Oh, it's all this guy, and this girl has missed it!" she kept asking, but Yang Ling didn't know how to answer, so she could only laugh dryly. The young man beside her said: "I said little Taoist, you asked in a series of questions, fire the cannon, you can't kill your big brother Yang, but you will kill me first." Luo Cailing said angrily: "Don't you want to know more?" Although she scolded, she also stopped.

Yang Ling was slightly surprised, and thought secretly: "Who is this person? Cailing, a naughty child, is willing to listen to him?"

The three of them kicked the hook-nosed man into the cabin and sat down.

Yang Ling looked at the young man next to Cai Ling and asked, "Who is this?" The man was about to answer, but Cai Ling rushed to say, "Leave him alone, he is a female ghost." After speaking, don't turn your head and snort, Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, and the man smiled and said: "Haha, I've seen Brother Yang, and I am under Xu Liang, I am indeed a female ghost." ”

Yang Ling naturally didn't know what this "Taoist" and "female ghost" meant, but he observed the words and colors, and expected that it must be related to the charming feelings of young boys and girls. He didn't say anything, he said that he had passed for more than ten days, from breaking up with Luo Cailing, to capturing the flower thief Yuziyin unsuccessfully, and when it came to the pursuit of the mistake, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, Cailing, I remember that you once said that your disguise technique was taught by the sister of the Shen family?"

"yes, why do you ask this all of a sudden?" Cai Ling replied.

"Nothing, so how did you meet them?"

"Daddy and the Shen family have always had contacts, we are world friends. During the New Year's holidays, they also have to give gifts to each other. Luo Cailing suddenly stopped when he said this, pouted, and exhaled. Yang Ling didn't pay attention, he only secretly thought: "I see, then most of them heard my identity from Uncle Luo." Then he asked: "Then Brother Ling and Sister Shen have also seen it?" "Then for sure, if he hasn't seen it, he will definitely see it." Luo Cailing muttered.

This is nondescript, Yang Ling was stunned and said: "What do you mean 'if you haven't seen it, he will definitely see it'?" Luo Cailing was reluctant to answer, and opened the topic: "Don't talk about him." Brother Yang, then what about later, did you chase after that Yu Ziyin?"

Yang Ling hesitated for a moment, and then said: "No, that person's light skills are very good, I didn't catch up, not only that, but I also lost contact with Senior Gu." He deliberately skipped the matter of meeting Er Shen without saying anything, Xu Liang noticed that his expression was different, and when he got up and said: "Brother Yang and Miss Luo will talk first, Xu will go to the bow of the boat to see the itinerary, and he will be about to dock." Yang Ling bowed his head and said: "That's fine, there is Brother Lao Xu." Xu Liang glanced at Luo Cailing when he left the cabin, and saw that she was not looking, and felt slightly melancholy, but he sighed and was immediately relieved.

"And then?"

Later, it happened that when I was walking on the official road in Henan, I actually ran into a group of robbers. Yang Ling immediately said that the Jiuzhai Mountain bandits robbed Situ Zhen and his party, helped him to relieve the siege, and borrowed the treasure map.

Luo Cailing asked, "Well, then you have already gone, how about it? Is there really a treasure? What about the treasure map, I want to see it." ”

Yang Ling smiled slightly: "I have returned the picture to Situ Zhen." He told the past again, and also did not mention Er Shen. He sighed: "I was afraid of missing the Fengyang Conference, so I didn't dare to delay more, so I set off for Fengyang again." I don't want to make another big deal in Huainan Mansion. ”

Luo Cailing's sentence "What's the matter?" was about to be spoken, but immediately stopped, thinking: "Since it is a big event, Brother Yang will naturally say it later, so why should I interrupt him." ”

Yang Ling didn't notice her changes, and said slowly: "On the nineteenth day, I went to Huainan Mansion, and when I saw the middle of the day, I went to a restaurant to fight. There were a lot of people in the shop, so I sat down in an empty seat in the corner. The shopkeeper was busy serving the guests at the three large tables in the middle of the house, and he didn't come to pay attention to me, so I was curious and looked at the group next to the largest table. There were about a dozen of them, mostly big men, with swords on their right hands, chatting and drinking. I expected it to be a group of people for a while, and I was about to greet Xiao Er, but two more people came in from outside the door, and one of them said loudly: 'Okay, there is a restaurant, this is great!'"

"I heard that voice quite familiar, and when I looked back, it turned out to be the two brocade guards who kidnapped you with Xu Xianchun that day. I'm too busy not to look at them. He came in and saw that the seats around him were full, and he squeezed into the big table. Although the group of big men looked unhappy, they didn't dare to let them go when they saw them wearing official uniforms. The two Jinyi guards were quite knowledgeable, and they actually recognized these people, and only heard the high one say: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be a friend of the Xuanwu Gang in Northern Hebei, and I am fortunate to have a good time, dare to ask which one is the leader of the 'Iron Back Ao' Du Chengdu Gang?"

"The Du gang leader was dressed in Xuanyi, sat on the right, and arched his hand and said: "It's here, I don't know what advice the two adults have?" The medium-sized Jinyi Wei raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just heard that the Xuanwu Gang is in northern Hebei, why did it suddenly come to Jiangnan?" Du Cheng smiled embarrassedly: "There are some small things in the gang, and a trip to Jiangnan is not enough for the two adults to worry about." Gao Jinyiwei nodded, he didn't ask much, and each drank and ate meat. I got up and wanted to go through the back door, not wanting someone to think like me. ”

Luo Cailing blurted out: "Who is that?" She couldn't hold back at this moment.

"When I saw the man wrapping his head in a green cloth, I had a thought in my heart, Cai Ling, guess who it would be?"

"Hmm...... Could it be that Long Yuanjiang?"

Yang Ling did not answer.

The memories of that day came back to his mind, what a strange thought, and he suddenly felt that those experiences were a little unpredictable, as ethereal as a cloud, and he was like a puppet, being led by someone.
