The bandits, who pretended to be scholars, brandished broadswords and divided the passengers in the cabin into two groups, one group was Xiao Bao'er and other harmless-looking ordinary passengers, and the other was the four men who were dressed like ordinary people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yao Xitong motioned to Xiao Bao'er to hide in the corner like everyone else, Xiao Bao'er was a little reluctant, and the four water bandits did not fall into the flow at all in her eyes.

Sensing that she was going to be nosy again, Yao Xitong tugged on her sleeve and whispered, "The boatman is in a group with them, do you have the ability to swim to the riverbank?"

Hearing this, Xiao Baoer regained her senses. It was such a cold day, she didn't want to go into the water.

"I'm sorry, let me go, I have a daughter here, can you let us hide inside?" Yao Xitong said as he squeezed the last two scholars on the boat to the front of the corner.

Xiao Baoer felt that he was really shameless, and said softly: "Don't squeeze, I like to watch the play in the front row." ”

The four of them hid in the corner like quails, and one of the scholars dared to ask, "Brother Yao, have we encountered water bandits?"

"Yes. ”

"Do you think they are seeking money or ......"

Xiao Bao'er interrupted the man: "Don't talk, I'm watching a play!"

Yao Xitong said cooperatively, "Let's take a look first, what the water bandits are asking for will soon be clear." ”

In the cabin, four men in short costumes sat motionless. Judging from the arrogant demeanor on their faces, these four people, like Xiao Bao'er, looked down on the robbers at all.

One of the bandits said, "Brother, I know that you are also mixed up on the road, but unfortunately the waterway is different from the land, and you have neither worshiped the Dragon King nor the dock, so it is obvious that you have not taken a few of us seriously...... I'm sorry today, but we're going to order the bilge cargo. ”

Four against four, a short-dressed man is not at all worried. Shen Sheng said: "If you want to fight, fight, less nonsense, grandpa is trying to find a few sacrificial knives that are not afraid of death, and when you are cleaned up, grandpa will go to the boatman to settle accounts." ”

"Brother, you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue, and the only one who dares to say big things on the surface of the Spring River is Wang Ba. Don't worry, Chunjiang lacks everything, except for water ghosts, and you can go down soon. ”

"Big brother, don't talk nonsense with them, let's go!"

One of the short-dressed men jumped up from his seat with a shout, and before he could think of it, he stumbled and fell to the ground, "You...... You are so despicable that you have drugged your food!"

The four water bandits laughed "haha", "The fish head cake on the boat is not something that everyone can eat, our brothers are fine, you are different!"

Xiao Baoer saw that the two sides didn't need to use their hands to separate the winners and losers, and couldn't help but ask: "Is the fish head cake delicious?"

Yao Xitong glared at her, "Don't talk, watch the show." After saying that, he felt bad and added: "The fish is very fresh, and the cake is also good." ”

The four bandits quickly took out the rope and planned to tie people up, but the old man who had been sleeping in the corner suddenly woke up, he let out a violent cough, clutched his chest and said with difficulty: "The old man didn't drink fish soup, and I don't know if he is qualified to speak for several of my subordinates." ”

I saw a flash of the dead wind lamp, and the old man who was still in the corner had already flashed in front of the water bandits, and with a poke of his hand, the four water bandits fell to the ground instantly, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Seeing the old man's move, Xiao Bao'er moved in front of Yao Xitong a little nervously, "Martial arts are better than mine, you can go first if something happens in a while." ”

Yao Xitong poked his head out from behind Xiao Bao'er without appreciation, "What's the hurry, don't block me from watching the play, this is just the beginning." ”

Xiao Bao'er looked at the cabin with a surprised expression, and couldn't imagine what variables there would be in front of her. It was too late, and a gray figure quickly got entangled with the old man.

Seeing that the nun who had been sitting next to her with her eyes closed and recuperating actually knew martial arts, she opened her mouth wide in shock, "The rivers and lakes are sinister, the female nun's martial arts are actually higher than mine." ”

Yao Xitong smiled silently, at her third-rate level, there are many people whose martial arts are higher than her. He said: "I said that you should watch the play well, didn't I tell you, isn't this play exciting?"

The two were chatting happily, and the scholar who asked before couldn't help but say: "Brother Yao, look at you going out with a sword, and you are so calm at the moment, my life and Ma Jun's lives depend on you." ”

Xiao Bao'er glanced at this person carefully, his facial features were handsome, his eyes were sincere, and he looked amiable, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Under Zhu Zhigao, next to him is his friend Ma Jun. ”

Judging from the eyebrows alone, Ma Jun is more handsome than Zhu Zhi. Xiao Bao'er didn't like this person, she could see the disgust and rejection of aliens from Ma Jun's eyes, she said: "We don't know you well, why should we save you?"

Zhu Zhigao looked away in embarrassment, and cast his expectant eyes on Yao Xitong, who said: "There are soft tendons in the fish soup, even if my brother has all kinds of martial arts, he can't use all kinds of martial arts, not to mention that I don't know martial arts at all." ”

"This ......"

Zhu Zhigao didn't believe it, and it was inconvenient to refute it in person. How can anyone dare to talk in front of a group of people who don't know martial arts?

Ma Jun was more direct, "Brother Yao, you don't like my identity with Zhigao?"

"How can this be! I just think that life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, these people are just asking for money, and we give money. ”

Zhu Zhigao breathed a sigh of relief, the problems that money can solve are not problems, he said: "What Brother Yao said is very true, it is all because we have too little experience, and we were frightened by this sudden battle. ”

The whispering of the four did not affect the fight in the cabin, the old man and the female nun were on the same level of kung fu, and the fight between you and me was so lively. Yao Xitong listened carefully to the movement in the boat, and asked seemingly casually, "If the boatman and the bandits are in the same group, what are the boatmen doing?"

The nun in the struggle was distracted by these words, and realized that the sound of her fight with the old man had drowned out the sound of the bilge squirming, and the goods she was looking for had already been dragged from the bilge onto the boat.

"It's not good, the bandits are going to escape...... she exclaimed and threw out her rosary, and the round beads instantly became a hidden weapon and shot at the old man, and she flew from the old man's side to the deck outside the cabin like a bird's nest.

The old man's kung fu is not weak, dozens of prayer beads were copied by him in his hands, and he only listened to him: "Thousand-armed Guanyin, you dare to grab the goods of the Weizhen Dart Bureau......

The two of them rushed out of the cabin one after another, and the originally lively cabin was extremely quiet. Xiao Bao'er got up and wanted to loosen her legs, "The play is not over yet, why are you up?" Yao Xitong reached out and pressed her back into place, signaling her to continue to shrink in the corner and pretend to be quails.

Xiao Baoer reluctantly squatted back in place, and her beautiful eyes swept into the cabin.

In addition to those dart masters and water bandits lying on their backs, the woman holding the baby is also still there, and has been sitting in place, all the fights in the cabin seem to have nothing to do with her, could it be that she is also a hidden master?

The woman sighed faintly, "It is difficult for the slave family to go far away, and it is really sad to encounter such a flustered world!" she said and stood up, shaking the child slowly in the cabin like a mother.

Xiao Bao'er looked at it carefully for a while, and saw something strange from the woman's feet hidden under her skirt. She turned her head sideways and said to Yao Xitong, "This woman is not simple, she is helping a few water bandits solve their acupoints." ”

The old man's action was very measured, and he only fixed the four water bandits' points, and did not hurt his life. The water bandits who were unlocked did not appreciate it, they used knives to break the tendons of the four dart masters, and threw a few people into the bottomless heart of the river like zongzi.

The fight turned to killing, and the crimson blood snaked through the cabin like a small snake.

Xiao Bao'er and Yao Xitong watched all this calmly.

Zhu Zhigao is fine, but his face is a little whiter.

Ma Jun was already paralyzed on the ground, and his mouth kept saying, "This ...... This...... Tesuji is broken, and it's still ...... Still...... Thrown in the river, they are murderous. ”

When the woman heard Ma Jun speak, she asked with a smile, "Little brother, do you have any opinions?"

"Xiangjiang is under the jurisdiction of Chendi, you ...... Do you still have a royal law?"

"Little brother, after eating soft tendons, you still have the strength to speak loudly, I think you are not afraid of death?"

"Death has ...... Woo woo...... "Without waiting for Ma Jun to finish speaking, Zhu Zhigao on the side covered his mouth in time.

The woman looked at Zhu Zhigao with interest, "Very smart person, it seems that you already know that money can't solve the problem, what we want is life." ”

After dealing with the dart master, the bandits had turned back, and they gathered around the woman and asked, "What about the rest of the people?"

The woman said: "The slave family is just a passerby, you can do whatever you want." ”

The four water bandits walked towards Yao Xitong with knives, and their undisguised murderous aura frightened Ma Jun and Zhu Zhigao to move behind Yao Xitong continuously.

Yao Xitong patted Xiao Bao'er on the shoulder, "Go ahead, we'll rely on you." ”

watched such a wonderful drama, Xiao Baoer couldn't hold back the urge to play. Hearing Yao Xitong's words, he jumped in front of several water bandits like a rabbit, and only listened to "bang...... Bang ......" a few times, and the water bandit fell in response.

Yao Xitong didn't expect Xiao Baoer to be so capable of fighting, third-rate martial arts, first-class tactics, and he was unprepared.

The woman looked at Xiao Bao'er in horror, "You...... You...... Didn't eat osmanthus cake?"

Xiao Bao'er looked at the woman puzzled, what's wrong with the osmanthus cake, does it have anything to do with the fight?

"I didn't eat, what's wrong?" Xiao Bao'er said and walked towards the woman.

"Don't come here, I'll kill the child if you take one step further?" she held the child high and tried to threaten Xiao Bao'er. The latter did not understand the significance of her threat at all, and continued with a determined step.

Yao Xitong really couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to say, "If you are willing to be arrested, she will not kill you." If you don't want to, she will pick off your hands and feet like a bandit, cut off your tongue, buy you into the mountains and forests, and marry a poor man. ”

His voice was calm, but the merciless gaze frightened the woman. After the two looked at each other, the woman knelt on the ground with the child in her arms.

Xiao Bao'er happened to walk in front of the woman, and Yao Xitong wanted to remind her that the woman did not really surrender and asked her to be careful of the woman...... Unexpectedly, Xiao Baoer raised her foot and kicked at the woman, completely ignoring the baby's life or death. After the loud bang, the woman slid through the cabin with the baby in her arms for a while before fainting.

"The shot is so heavy, aren't you afraid of hurting the child?"

"It's not my child, she's not afraid, why should I be afraid?"

Yao Xitong sighed, "Don't you use your brains?"

Xiao Bao'er paused for a moment and asked in a low voice, "The child is not hers?"

"yes, it's so obvious, you don't see it?"

"I haven't had any children. ”

"Has the child ever cried since we got on the boat? What mother would use her child to survive in danger? She is a kidnapper, and the child was abducted by her, so obviously you can't see it. ”

Xiao Bao'er pouted, and Yao Xitong asked, "What, don't accept it?"

"Is it obvious? Maybe it's strange that someone I know is too strange, an old lady who was poisoned by her daughter, and a child who spends his days thinking about killing his half-brother. I've seen these people, I don't think the woman is a kidnapper, I see that she is very interested in the child in her arms!"

Yao Xitong knew who these people were in Xiao Bao'er's mouth, the Empress Dowager was killed by her daughter Xiao Huiting, and the little emperor pondered killing other contenders for the throne. After seeing these people, and then looking at women and babies, perhaps it is true that women are very good to babies as she said.

Ma Jun was different, he looked at Xiao Bao'er with some sympathy, "Girl, Great Xia is different from other places, you said that those things that lose your conscience will not happen in Great Xia at all." Emphasizing filial piety and stressing human ethics is a thousand-year-old tradition ...... Great Xia"

Xiao Bao'er looked at Ma Jun with an idiotic gaze, and said seriously, "These things happened in Great Xia, and the thousand-year-old ritual religion did not restrain me from talking about those people. ”

"How is this possible? How can you stand on the land of Great Xia and insult our Great Xia civilization with some hearsay stories......"

Zhu Zhigao hurriedly grabbed the excited Ma Jun, and said with guilt on his face, "Girl, my friend reads too much, he has no other meaning, girl, don't take it to heart." ”

Xiao Bao'er has long been accustomed to the rejection of aliens by the Central Plains, and people like Ma Jun have seen too many people, and they don't bother to bother with them. She asked Zhu Zhigao, "What did you say your name was?" ”

"Song people, Zhu Zhigao. ”

Xiao Bao'er walked to Yao Xitong's side with doubts and asked quietly, "Why do Zhu Zhigao and Zhu Zhijuan sound so similar?"

Yao Xitong threw the rope he had just found from the cabin to her, "Help me tie up this woman and the bandits...... The boat has escaped, how are we going to get to the other side? ”

"You haven't answered my question yet. ”

"What do you want me to say? Tell him that you are a disciple of Wu Jun and that his sister died because of Wu Jun?"

Yao Xitong explained Zhu Zhigao's identity in one sentence, as well as the relationship with Zhu Zhijuan, as well as the possible contradictions between Xiao Baoer and him.

"You didn't ask me anything. ”

The weather is clear, and the bright moonlight makes the river look like a road to heaven sprinkled with broken silver in the middle of the night. The boat they were on was like a black dot on the avenue of heaven, floating alone in the water.

On the deck, except for the dead wind lamp and the oars used to support the boat, the old man, the nun and the boatman were all gone. Yao Xitong carefully searched the boat, and said helplessly: "Xiaoxiao, the next trip can only rely on you." ”

"Let me row? I won't. ”

"Don't worry, I'll teach you. ”

"You can also row a boat?"

"Why are you surprised? You should ask, what else you wouldn't know. ”

"I know you don't know anything, so why ask. ”

Yao Xitong was surprised, Xiao Bao'er actually knew that he didn't know anything? This person knew so much about himself? He asked rhetorically, "I don't know anything?"

"Have a baby!"
