Chapter 17: The Wisher Takes the Bait
When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.
Qin Muxue looked at the city of Chang'an from afar, reciting the poem "Fu Ju" by Huang Chao at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the four swords of Yanmen rushed all the way from Luoyang, and they had not eaten for a day and a night, and they were already hungry and exhausted.
A big choppy river blocked the way, and a broken boat was randomly across the shallows on the bank of the river, and on top of the broken boat sat a bad old man who was concentrating on fishing, immersed in a world of only rods, lines, hooks, and fish.
There is no other way to go, only abandon the horse to cross the river, there is no other boat to cross the river, only this broken boat, so the six people got off the horse and came to the side of this broken boat, the princess Xiaobai just wanted to go over and call the old man who was fishing, but was blocked by Huyan Xiaofeng.
Huyan Xiaofeng's sharp eyes projected over, and he slowly approached and asked in a low voice: "May I ask if Your Excellency is the old man of Taigong Jiang who killed people and set fires without blinking?" ”
Qin Muxue was shocked when she heard this: Could it be that this old man is Jiang Taigong, who was known as the number one killer in the world in the past! It is said that he was one of the ten masters who followed the general Bai Flame in the northwest of the town to assassinate the king of Western Xia, and thousands of Western Xia warriors died under him at that time.
Jiang Taigong has three uniques: iron rod, gold thread, and poisonous hook!
So he's not catching fish, he's catching life!
The old man raised his sleepy head, opened his radiant eyes and looked at Huyan Xiaofeng, his wrist suddenly shook, and Qin Muxue hurriedly retreated, only to hear the sound of "brushing", the fire-like woman Zhao Bing had already drawn her sword in her hand. However, at this time, I heard "Whoa! Crash! The river sounded, and a thin golden line was raised, and a large fish jumped out of the water, with dark yellow scales shining in the setting sun, and an inconspicuous little hook hanging from the two thick and long yellow whiskers of the fish's lips!
The four swords of Yanmen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, watching the old man catch a fat river carp, Xiaobai was suddenly greedy, and his stomach growled.
"The old man only fishes today, and has no interest in anything else!" The old man's bright gaze swept over the shore and then replied, as if admitting that he was Jiang Taigong.
A mysterious smile appeared on Huyan Xiaofeng's face, and then he asked: "Since Senior Jiang only fishes today and doesn't catch his life, can you send us across the river after fishing, we have urgent matters to rush to Chang'an City." ”
Jiang Taigong glanced at Huyan Xiaofeng, took off the river carp he caught and put it into the fishing basket, the hand holding the fishing rod shook slightly, and a wisp of gold thread pounced on Huyan Xiaofeng like a poisonous snake, and the small fish hook hanging at the end of the gold line opened its teeth and danced its claws.
Huyan Xiaofeng's bloodthirsty sword clanged in the scabbard, and the four swords of Yanmen held their breath and were ready to come out of the sheath to face the battle at any time, but the fish hook broke through the wind and returned with the wind, "Ding Dong!" A sound finally fell into the heart of the river.
Jiang Taigong quietly immersed himself in the world where there were only him and the fish.
"Taigong Jiang, you don't have any bait, how do you fish?" Qin Muxue's noise broke the silence, and Chu Lianjun listened thoughtfully, and cast his sharp eyes on the river.
"Haven't you heard of Jiang Taigong fishing for wishers to take the bait? It is also said that the upper knowledge is 500 years, and the lower knowledge is 500 years! You know the! Xiaobai is obviously still indignant that he is worthless in the Jianghu chase order (it should not be on the list at all, haha).
"Whoa! Crash! "Jiang Taigong caught another big river carp and looked straight at Qin Muxue and Xiaobai's eyes, is it really the one who wants to take the bait? It's really evil.
"Get on the boat, I can't catch fish because it's too noisy." Jiang Taigong said angrily, his resentful gaze swept over the two noisy people.
"How many years have you not changed places, have you been waiting for me? Hehe! Huyan Xiaofeng was the first to jump on the boat, staring at Jiang Taigong with a wicked smile.
Jiang Taigong glared at him fiercely, then carefully packed up the fishing rods, fishing lines, and hooks, and began to row the broken boat and slowly sailed away from the riverbank, leaving the six tired horses on the riverbank.
"This broken boat is not bad, it can actually ride the wind and waves against the current, haha." Xiaobai teased with a smile.
"Hello Senior Jiang!" Chu Lianjun clasped his fists and saluted.
"That's it, where are you going?" Jiang Taigong asked coldly.
"Go to Dali!" Huyan Xiaofeng told the truth, and then said with a smile, "Don't worry about Jiang Taigong, he is actually my master, haha!" ”
"Zhenxi Mansion is not good to stay, I have to come out to mix the rivers and lakes, and drag the old man into the water!"
"Hey--- if I hadn't dragged you into the water, you would have died ten years ago, and you wouldn't thank me."
"Do you think I can't run away? Stinky boy. ”
"With your martial arts, you can definitely do it, but will you run?" Huyan Xiaofeng's tone changed, a little heavy, "Didn't he run either!" "
"It's hard to say, and it's not necessarily!" Jiang Taigong looked up at the northwest direction and said in a deep voice.
"Hey, Taigong Jiang, how could you accept him as such a strange apprentice, who often goes mad and scares people to death! Could it be that you taught him to be like this. Xiaobai stared at Jiang Taigong, she felt that he was a bit like Dugu Yan, easy to bully.
"Haha, I'm laughing to death, I dare to say this about Brother Feng." Qin Muxue laughed so hard that her stomach hurt and she almost fell, so she hurriedly hugged Yang Yu before she finally stood firm.
Zhao Bing and Chu Lianjun were so quiet, they had already leaned on the side of the boat and closed their eyes to recuperate, and Jiang Taigong looked at Chu Lianjun's curly hair blankly, trying to think about something.
"Eh, Mrs. Jiang, how many fish did you catch today? Sell it to us, we're all starving! Xiaobai continued to entangle, with the strength to not stop if he couldn't eat the fish.
Jiang Taigong was interrupted from his train of thought, turned his head and glared at Xiao Bai's left little thumb and shook it, "Huh! A golden thread flew out of the air and hit her, and after the golden thread hit the target, it immediately spread out and ran around her body three times, binding her hands and feet firmly, "Plop!" He lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. Originally, she fell headfirst, but Huyan Xiaofeng took her body with her foot next to her before her butt hit the ground.
Jiang Taigong's fierce eyes glared at Huyan Xiaofeng, who also smiled mischievously.
"Wow wow...... Woo woo woo ......" Xiao Bai immediately cried, bound by the golden thread and twisting around on the ground, like a fish firmly caught in a fishing net struggling desperately to escape back into the water.
"The fish he caught can't be eaten, don't believe you go and see it!" Huyan Xiaofeng had no choice but to comfort her with gentle words.
"I'm all tied up, what do you think, look at a fart!" Xiaobai was very hot, and Yang Yu snickered and untied the "fishing net" for her.
"Hehe, come on, I'll show you." Qin Muxue ran over with a fish basket and smiled like a flower, he is a master who loves to watch the excitement.
Xiao Bai and Yang Yu stretched out their heads to see that only white fish bones were left in the fish basket, and the meat had turned into water and flowed away, causing the two of them to sigh for a while.
"I said I can't eat it, hehe!" Huyan Xiaofeng laughed.
"No wonder you are invincible, it turns out that you worshiped a great poisoner." Zhao Bing said coldly with disdain.
Jiang Taigong looked at Chu Lianjun carefully as if no one was around, his brows tightened and he fell into hard thinking.
"Hey! Mrs. Jiang, do you have anything to eat? Do you have any drink? Huyan Xiaofeng finally remembered the hungry belly and the hungry wine bugs.
Jiang Taigong was interrupted again, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said, "No! ”
"Oops! We're getting older and more temperamental, so let's guess how you caught the fish, and get us something to eat! "Huyan Xiaofeng is in a hurry.
"I guess first, it must be the movement of the senior Jiang who pulled the fishing line and hook with his wrist to catch the fish in the river, and once he touched the fish's wrist, the fish was hooked and fished! Right? Qin Muxue hurriedly replied.
"That's half right!" Huyan Xiaofeng nodded, turned his head to Jiang Taigong and said, "Give me something to eat." "
Jiang Taigong put down the boat and went to take out a few white buns, handed them to Huyan Xiaofeng, Huyan Xiaofeng gave each person a bun, took a bite of the bun himself, and said: "Keep guessing, keep guessing, guess right, there is wine to drink!" ”
"Brother Chu, I see that you have been observing for a long time, help us guess!" Qin Muxue's eyes lit up when she heard that there was wine to drink, and she begged bitterly.
Chu Lianjun said with a smile: "Senior Jiang is a master of poison, and if you catch fish without poison, you won't lose your means to become famous." I think it must be the poison on the hook that broke out in the river, and the fish in the river swam over and sent it to the hook. ”
Jiang Taigong's face was happy, he looked at Chu Lianjun and nodded, put down the boat and went to get a jar of wine and handed it to Huyan Xiaofeng, who took a sip and shouted: "Wow! What kind of wine are you? Why is it so strong! ”
"Seventy-five degrees! Can it not be strong? Hey! Jiang Taigong laughed evilly.
Qin Muxue snatched the wine over, "Goo! Goo! After taking two sips and praising again and again, he took the wine to Yang Yu again: "Ah Yu come to taste it, this is the west wind strong!" It is the best liquor in the Western Xia Kingdom! ”
Jiang Taigong was surprised: "Yes, yes, the little doll knows how to drink." ”
Qin Muxue ran over to Chu Lianjun with the wine in her arms again, and Chu Lianjun said, "Goo!" Goo! After two sips, "Good wine!" He also praised.
Xiaobai was hungry, frowning and seriously studying how to gnaw on the white bun, the white bun was too hard, she cried while eating, looking pitiful, no wonder she grew up in the palace, where had she eaten such simple food.
"Come on! Little White Princess! Take a bite! Qin Muxue came to tease her again with wine, "The bun is too hard, drink some wine and eat the bun to be soft!" He said.
Xiaobai was suspicious, took the wine jar and took a sip, "Ahem, cough, it's spicy!" What a wine! Wow wow! How dare you lie to me! She suddenly started crying, and she raised her hand to smash the wine jar, but fortunately, Qin Muxue quickly snatched the wine and ran away, leaving her alone in the corner crying alone.
In this way, Jiang Taigong drove his broken boat, and the four swords of Yanmen finally ate the food and drank the wine, although the bun was a little harder, no one wasted it all, and although the wine was very strong, it was not enough to drink at all, just because there were too many drunkards on the boat, and because the river was very cold at night.
The willows on both sides of the bank are fragrant with green grass, accompanied by the breeze of the river and the sound of the water, which is very pleasant. There seems to be a figure flickering on the shore, wielding various weapons in his hands, running back and forth one after another, obviously having been in ambush here for a long time!
