The current stable borders of the Yan Kingdom are mainly in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and once the river is crossed into the hinterland, the Yan Kingdom and even the Night Dynasty have no right to speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis is the node of the war between the two countries, and it is also a place where the rebels of the rebellious army gather, and more because of some green forest bandits, gangsters, etc., have taken a fancy to this place.

Then the common people living here have suffered, and many victims have begun to cross the Yellow River, some want to go to the Night Dynasty, some want to go to the Yan Kingdom, each has their own needs. But after the war between the two countries began, the ships of the official families were all conscripted to cross the river, and some generations of boatmen fled for fear that the war would provoke their peaceful lives.

No one has crossed the river to cross the river, so what should we do? As the saying goes, no profit is not early, many people take a fancy to this, no one dares to cross the river, so there must be very few people who dare to cross the river, what if there is less? Scarcity is expensive, and the price can be shouted to the sky-high price. But ordinary people shout so high, but no one will really go, and maybe they will be beaten to death by the group, and take the boat and go to these risks.

At this time, the robbers of the green forest, who usually make a living by robbery, gathered together, built several large ships to buy and sell at various ferries, these robbers were not inhumane, and did not earn much from the people, and laid down an iron rule: the people received the same money, and the rich collected ten taels or twenty taels.

These rich people have been investigated by the people of the green forest, as long as they cross the river, the money will definitely not be less, and if you want to pretend to be poor, then you have to bless the ferry without the portrait of your family.

These are fairly disciplined and organized boatmen, and there are others, who rely on a small fishing boat to cross the river, and the price is extremely unstable, sometimes very cheap, sometimes the lion opens his mouth, depending on whether the boatman is in a good mood or not.

Besides, the four guards rushed to the ferry near here, stunned, there were so many, there were more than a dozen along the way, Yan Wen knew that this monkey Sailei was cunning by nature, he had met him in the palace a few days ago, and he didn't know what he had stolen, the round-up of thousands of royal forest soldiers and hundreds of internal guards actually let him escape from a small dog hole, because this matter was too embarrassing, so he didn't say it to the public, and it also made people think that no one had seen the face of Monkey Sailei itself.

Seeing that there is not much time, I can only divide the soldiers into four ways to inform the boatmen, but these boatmen are not good at stubble, they are all robbers in the green forest, you are a court of the court to come here to point fingers, who cares about you? As soon as the preface says, the back is like a fart. Since there was not much time, they did not provide much information, but they said that they had seen two or three children who were about to cross the river, and they should remember to stop them.

Although Yongning Town already has a portrait of the prince at this time, this does not mean that the news can be conveyed quickly, as far as Yanguo is concerned, more than half of the people do not know that the prince has escaped, let alone these guys who stay on both sides of the Yangtze River all day long. Seeing that they took out the sign of the Ouchi guards and waved them, those robbers also want money and don't want their lives, no matter what Ouchi guards you are, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he can't let himself lose money.

But no matter how these four guards tried to surround it, it was useless. Yu Nian took Wen Min night cat out of a small forest, this place, the river is steep, fierce and surging, only a fool will cross the river here, but there is really a fool here.

It was an old man, he didn't have a boat, only a bamboo raft, and he could stand at most two adults when he looked at it. And in the case of this small bamboo raft, it doesn't look like it can cross the river, and it can't be saved from capsizing as soon as it gets out of the ferry. As I said before, Wen Min fled from the Night Dynasty to the Yan Kingdom in the rest of the year, so how did they cross the river before? And of course here, too.

The old man seems to have no name, he likes to call himself a boatman, and when people ask him what his name is, he will not answer, and over time most people only call him old man. The old man has a very strange temper, he doesn't cross if he doesn't like it, he doesn't cross it if there are too many people, he crosses at most two at a time, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to it if there are too many. Seeing Yu Nian and a few people rushing out, the old man recognized Yu Nian, stood up from a wooden stake at the ferry, looked at Yu Nian twice and said, "There are too many people, don't carry them."

Yu Nian pulled the night cat over and said, "Why don't you tie a rope to the stern of the boat and drag it over?"

The old man ignored him and sat back down. At this time, Yu Nian leaned into his ear and said, "Hey, he is the prince of the night dynasty, and he escaped from the Yan country."

As soon as he heard the words "Prince of the Night Dynasty", the old man's body trembled, slowly stood up, lifted a long bamboo next to him and said, "Get on the boat."

After more than a year of happiness, I knew that this old man was not simple, and he must not be a person from the Night Dynasty and could not get rid of it. He was familiar with the light car and jumped on the rickety little bamboo raft, Wen Min saw Yu Nian go up, and also followed, at this time it was the turn of the night cat, approached the ferry and looked at the rickety bamboo raft, and sighed in his heart, not daring to take this boat.

The old man stood behind him: "Go down, if you don't go down, we'll go?"

The night cat recalled all kinds of things in the night dynasty, in order to go home, fighting, I thought that the righteous awe-inspiring jump could jump on the bamboo raft, but unexpectedly just stood up, a weightless and fell into the river, poof. The old man shook his head helplessly, and stabbed the long bamboo in his hand into the water with one hand, just passing through the prince's clothes, and then gently picked it up, and put the night cat on the small bamboo raft again.

When the old man saw that everyone had gone up, he jumped lightly and landed firmly at the front end of the bamboo raft. At this time, the night cat also noticed that the small bamboo raft, which was originally shaky, was as stable as Mount Tai after the old man suddenly came up! Isn't this old man a master in the world?

A long bamboo, a small bamboo raft, an old man. On this choppy section of the river, only this bamboo raft is as stable as Mount Tai, and even as soon as the rushing water approaches this small bamboo raft, it immediately becomes gentle, and there is no splash.

He crossed the river without any suspense, thanked the old man, and did not give silver, because he did not accept silver, only treasures. Yu Nian grabbed a handful of silk from his arms and handed it to the old man, but the old man refused: "You gave this last time, don't repeat it."

Yu Nian touched his chin: "I don't have anything else here except a night pearl."

The old man pointed to the night cat and said, "The old man wants a hair from him."

At this time, Yu Nian took out a pair of scissors and said to the night cat: "Good, in fact, it is quite handsome to shave your head."

The night cat himself hurriedly plucked a hair and handed it to the old man, looking at Yu Nian angrily, people obviously said one, but this guy wanted to shave all his hair, there is something wrong with his brain.

Let's go, after crossing the Yangtze River, even if it is the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is not that it is safe here, because there are everyone here, there are troops of the Yan Kingdom on the pipeline, there are chaotic armies on the trail, and mountain thieves are rampant, so it is not safe here, but a purgatory on earth.

Originally, Yu Nian and Wen Min were relatively safe, but with the addition of a night cat, it was impossible to say, not only slowing down the process, Wen Min could not keep carrying the night cat on his back, and the night cat's small arms and legs could not go as fast as he walked.

After a few tosses, I will briefly talk about it. A few people led the way for several days with Yu Nian, and they didn't encounter anything strange. And this time on a small hillside, the three of them stopped, looked at a small village below, and Yu Nian asked Wen Min: "Have you noticed anything different?"

Wen Min looked at a small village not far below with an expressionless face, a chaotic army of more than a dozen people was burning, killing and looting, so he nodded and said: "These rebel troops, this time they don't rob women, but specifically kidnap some children."

Yu Nian nodded and suddenly squatted, and the two people next to him suddenly collapsed to the ground with two clangs. Yu Nian hurriedly got up and turned back and said, "Stop, stop!" Don't hit me in the head! I'll go with you, I'm very good! ”

At this time, behind him, I don't know when there were already three tall and mighty men, wearing shabby shirts and green military uniforms, one holding a large wooden stick in one hand, looking at Yu Nian with some doubts, this kid is so clever, he can actually detect that several of his people are so silently approaching.

The guy at the head is called Xu Cheng, who was originally a small captain in the night army, but at this time, the night dynasty has already lost the country, and the armies of all walks of life have been defeated again and again, the army is disheartened, and the deserters are continuous, and they are also one of the teams of deserters. Some people fled to the Yan country, and they became a rebel army in this chaotic land.

It's the generals who are too incompetent, or the soldiers who are too cowardly. No one knows who is who. Xu Cheng didn't feel a little guilty about defecting with people, at least, he thought that he had done his best for the Night Dynasty, but the Night Dynasty could no longer give anything in return. Xu Cheng is not a saint, since he can't give what he wants, he goes, he didn't join the Yan Kingdom, he thinks that this is also his last respect for the Night Dynasty.

I thought that he and his brothers would occupy the mountain in this war-torn place, but since a demon came nearby, everything has changed. The demon was alone with the blood of dozens of his brothers, and finally forced himself to do something for him.

Xu Cheng still has some conscience, at least he has never hurt the innocent before, but now, he has to raise a knife and swing it at the innocent people, searching for boys and girls for the devil all day long, for him to practice.

Today, I went out again and found such a small village, and I wanted to rush directly to plunder, but I accidentally found a figure on the hillside swaying, and I sneaked away with two deputies with my two deputies. When I walked in, I was overjoyed, three children! It seems that today's harvest will be able to successfully complete the task limit.

Silently approached, and the two deputies at the same time waved their sticks to stun the three of them and take them away, but he actually missed, and the child in the middle squatted down without warning, and when he was a little mune, the child hurriedly turned back and said something, as if he already knew that he had brought someone behind him.

But why didn't he tell his companions? Xu Cheng was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, since people are willing to cooperate, then take it away, anyway, a child can't make a fuss. The two deputies picked up the night cat Wen Min and the others who fell to the side, and Xu Cheng wanted to pick up Yu Nian and take him down the mountain, but Yu Nian said that he would go, don't worry.

Such a cooperative child, Xu Cheng has been robbed for so long and it is the first time to see it, after thinking about it, he is just a child, and he can't escape anywhere if he wants to, so he followed him, but he was a little appreciative of his courage.

After descending the mountain, the other brothers also returned, and a deputy helped lead a horse, and Yu Nian jumped beside him and said, "I want to sit on the horse's head!" Don't sit in a ponytail! ”

Xu Cheng nodded helplessly, hugged him on the horse, and sat behind Yu Nian, the two of them were on a horse, quite like father and son. The brothers next to him laughed and came over to ask.

"Yo, Brother Cheng, what's going on with this kid?"

"Yes, he looks like your son, so clever."

"Could it be that Brother Cheng and you still picked up a son? Hahahaha"

Xu Cheng glanced at them angrily: "Don't make trouble, I don't know what's going on with this kid, it's the first time I've seen such a cooperative child, I don't want to hand him over to that devil."

Xu Cheng said as he spoke, his eyes were a little helpless, he had seen so many hurtful things, and sooner or later he would be retributed. A little lonely, he touched his head in front of him and asked, "Child, what is your name?"

Yu Nian didn't answer, he was playing with his ears, and replied while playing: "My name is Wen Min."

Xu Cheng smiled: "The name is good."

Yu Nian asked, "Really?" By the way, uncle, what did you mean by the devil before? Is it OK to eat? ”

Hearing Yu Nian mention this, the brothers around him, including himself, were silent, and no one wanted to answer, this kid is really naïve. Xu Cheng looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry, and replied in a choked voice: "Child, don't ask so much." Let's hit the road. ”
