16. The rivers and lakes are sinister (7)
Here it comes. Xia Qian said silently in her heart, fortunately, she was prepared and held on to the table in time to avoid being thrown out.
At this time, the hull of the ship was still shaking, and several black shadows landed steadily on the bow of the boat, and the boatman had time to shout for help in the future, and someone came to kill him with a knife.
"Who's coming?" Bai Qianmo shouted loudly, the folding fan in his hand was closed, his eyes swept over the visitor, all covered in black, each covering his face, holding a scimitar in his hand, like a person from a cult organization.
"Hmph." The other party is not a good stubble, he doesn't say a word, the big knife in his hand stabs straight to the point, and the knife is fatal.
Bai Qianmo took a few steps back, dodged one by one, picked up the fan in his hand and dismantled each other, opened and closed, a fan that seemed to be non-lethal suddenly turned into a sharp sword in his hand, and after a few moves, the man in black was suppressed everywhere, at a disadvantage, and injured. Seeing this, the other men in black joined in one after another, wanting to take him down in one fell swoop.
Xia Qian naturally couldn't let them go, the silver light in his hand flickered, waving a brilliant light curtain, like a little star falling from the starry sky, hitting several black people, and they fell to the ground one after another.
The ship was in a mess, the fight was too fierce, there were many people in black, they were not weak in martial arts, and the two sides were deadlocked. The wooden planks that had been knocked out made a creaking sound, swaying left and right, and it looked like it was about to fall apart.
"Go away!" Lin Yudie flew a man in black with one foot, it can be seen that the strength is very great, Cheng Haoxuan is not to be outdone, the sword flower in his hand is dazzling, but each move is faster than the other, piercing into the enemy's vital point.
Only Tang Shuwan, who didn't know kung fu in the boat, hid in the corner, carefully holding the guqin and not daring to move. When a man in black saw her hiding here, he was about to slash at her, causing her to lose her face and scream. Bai Qianmo immediately let go of the entanglement with the enemy in front of him, flew over the table and picked up Tang Shuwan, avoiding the danger.
"Watch out behind you." Xia Qian exclaimed, in the chaos, a hidden weapon hit Bai Qianmo, and someone poisoned the hidden weapon, Bai Qianmo spit out a mouthful of blood and coughed a few times.
Seeing that victory was in sight, the men in black attacked more and more fiercely, and if this continued, they would definitely explain here. Xia Qian glanced at Bai Qianmo lightly, fortunately, the injury was not serious, he had already protected his heart, it was not in the way, so he would leave it to her next. Thinking of this, she picked up the knife on the ground, transported several layers of power, and smashed the bottom of the boat with one knife, and a large amount of water poured in, and the water level rose quickly.
"Senior brother, you have a good water nature, take them away." Xia Qian took out a packet of powder as he spoke, and with a wave in the air, several black people avoided it, took a lot of medicinal powder, and fainted.
Several people escaped from the boat one after another, found a few boat planks as driftwood to swim to the river bank, everyone escaped from death, and when their feet stepped on the ground, Cheng Haoxuan couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, those black people can't swim, otherwise they will have to fight in the water again." β
"yes." Lin Yudie echoed, and couldn't help but sneeze, trembling all over. At this time, in the evening, the temperature of the river was not as good as that of the day, Cheng Haoxuan was in a hurry to wring out his coat and cover Lin Yudie.
"Okay, okay, your clothes are all wet," Lin Yudie pushed away his clothes, glanced at Bai Qianmo's face, saw that it was not a big deal, and said: "It's not early, everyone had a fight, and they also took a bath in the river, they are all tired, go back." β
"That's right." At this time, Bai Qianmo's face was a little ugly, but it was not easy to have a seizure with Tang Shuwan by his side.
"Well," Xia Qian stepped forward and handed a bottle to Bai Qianmo, "One a day, twice a day, three days is fine." β
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Xia Qian smiled, distancing and politely responding.
Shen Ling, who walked at the back, couldn't understand the woman in front of her more and more, she had everything she had prepared, and she expected that someone would crash into the boat, and what was even more surprising was how she knew that they couldn't swim, it was terrifying to think about.
And Xia Qian followed behind his senior brother and Lin Yudie with a relaxed face, just now in the boat, when Tang Shuwan was almost killed by the enemy, Lin Yudie was almost cut off by someone's arm, but fortunately, Cheng Haoxuan blocked it with a sword, and Xia Qian secretly put the needle, so there was no disability. Now that such a big thing has happened, Bai Qianmo is obviously biased towards Tang Shuwan, no matter how cold Lin Yudie is to Cheng Haoxuan, he will be a little grateful.
It's just that there is another Mo Yuheng, which has not yet appeared, which is really a headache.
Bai Qianmo was recuperating for a few days, but Tang Shuwan was very affectionate to him, saying that it was because of himself that Bai Gongzi was injured and had to take care of him personally. No matter how many people from the hundred families persuaded them, they were apologetic when they faced Lin Yudie, but Lin Yudie snorted a few times and didn't know what to say.
It's Cheng Haoxuan, his complexion is obviously much better, when he saw Bai Qianmo before, it was like owing him five million silver taels, giving him a stinky face, and now Lin Yudie is attached to him, and occasionally shush him for warmth in the past, which makes his heart warm.
The worst thing is Xia Qian, who underestimated the cold of the river, thought that there was not much to do, and after going back, he gave them each a wound medicine, but the next day he got up and turned around, and when he checked his body temperature, he turned out to be a fever. However, she couldn't let Shen Ling see her abnormality, and she forced her body to give them medicine, and finally returned to the room, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.
The strange thing is that when he woke up the next day, the fever was magically and naturally cured, and the chill in his body was also removed, Xia Qian thought that his body was good, and the illness would get better so quickly, but when he pushed the window open, he found a footprint, and a small piece of cloth left on the ground, obviously someone had come! Who the hell is it?!
Xia Qian followed the footprints for a while, but lost contact halfway, it rained last night, and the distant places were washed, leaving only some footprints outside the window, according to the size, it should be a man's feet. Thinking of this, Xia Qian's face darkened, she had not been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and there were few men she knew, how could someone else come to visit her? Or maybe you recognized the wrong person?
The matter is not over yet, early in the morning, Lin Yudie received a message from the flying pigeon of Qingquan Sword Pavilion, her face sank, and the paper was written concisely: There is a change in the Sword Pavilion, ask for support, see the letter and look back! So he hurriedly packed up his things in the room, looking anxious.
At this time, Xia Qiangang came back from early morning practice, saw a letter on the table, inadvertently glanced at the content of the letter, and saw Lin Yudie packing up his things in such a hurry, he probably guessed that Qingquan Pavilion had lost the old pavilion master, and the other hall masters were eyeing this position, and they used unsightly means for each other behind their backs.
"Going back?" Xia Qian raised the letter in his hand.
"Well, I have to go back." Lin Yudie didn't stop cleaning up in her hands, and packed it in three or two.
"Why don't you talk to Bai Qianmo?" Xia Qian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No need." Lin Yudie put the package on her shoulder, lifted the Qingquan sword, and saluted her fist, "Thank you and him for taking care of you and him along the way, this time it is my private matter, and I will leave." β
"Slow," Xia Qian pinched the letter in his hand, "It's a long way to Qingquan Pavilion, those who covet the treasures on your body won't let you go lightly, and besides, my senior brother won't worry that you will go alone, right, senior brother?" She stood sideways, Cheng Haoxuan, who was originally hiding behind the pillar, knew that he was recognized, his face was rarely red, and he walked out embarrassed, "Senior sister, how did you find out?" His eyes moved to Lin Yudie, and he paused, "That, Miss Lin-I" couldn't help but hang her head, still holding a hot bun in her hand, smelling this fragrance, it is still the meat bun that Lin Yudie likes.
Xia Qian didn't answer, staring at Lin Yudie's face without saying a word.
"You, heyβ" Lin Yudie's fair face showed a layer of redness, and she looked away, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
It seems to have returned to the days when they first stepped into the rivers and lakes, but there was less joy along the way, and there was more and more of a group of enemies, and the four of them cooperated more and more tacitly, fighting the enemy together during the day, and looking at the wind at night, after a few days, they were a lot haggard, mentally tired, and there was still a long distance from the destination.
The future is long, they encountered a lot of small troubles on the way, once the money bag was lost, they collectively went to the town to perform, Xia Qian shot to treat the people in the town, while earning entanglement, but also to eliminate violence and peace, more exaggerated, robbed the local tyrant landlord of the grain, robbed the rich and helped the poor, opened the granary to save the people, this matter was done in a hurry, almost caught red-handed, fortunately there was no major incident in the end, but the local tyrant sued the government office, the government checked, felt that the local tyrant's family property was unknown, deliberately looted the local people's taxes, In the end, the property was confiscated to relieve the long-standing resentment of the local people.
There are constant troubles, big and small, but the relationship between Lin Yudie and Cheng Haoxuan is getting better and better, and occasionally they will ride a horse together and whisper under the tree. Shen Ling, who has followed them all the way to the present, can only give them wind nearby, watching the two of them show affection, and she has nothing to gain, seeing that the distance between Qingquan Pavilion is getting closer and closer, her days are numbered, and she must hurry up, but the only trouble is-
At this time, Xia Qian stood on the trunk of a tree at a high place, looking into the distance, and the sunset began to set westward, casting a layer of golden brilliance on the forest, and the scenery was very beautiful. But she didn't have a good mood to appreciate it, from the beginning to the present, Shen Ling had to follow, she not only had to deal with external enemies, but also the villains around the place, which can be described as exhausting. Qingquan Pavilion was in the distance, and the outline of the mountain range began to become clearer, and it was soon there. It's just that the heart has been hanging in the last few days, and after calculating the days, the people who should appear will definitely appear in the next few days, and they can't drop the chain when it's critical.
