"Master, hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to sail." Xu Yan stood at the ferry and waved to Liansheng not far away.

Liansheng carried his own baggage, and behind him were four brocade guards dressed in ordinary people's clothes and walking apart.

"Here we are." After Liansheng and Xu Yan came out of Nantong, they received a letter from Yu Shizhao from the Flying Eagle, asking them to go to Xi'an Mansion to meet peace. It will take a long time to walk from the south to the north, during which they can continue to tour around the country, and the two of them will take the escort on the road.

Xu Yan jumped on the boat first and beckoned to Liansheng: "Jump up, master, I'll pick up here." ”

There is still a distance between the boat and the shore, and Liansheng doesn't know martial arts, so to be honest, he is still a little scared. Seeing that Xu Yan was so enthusiastic, a scholar dressed as a brocade guard behind him whispered, "Don't be afraid, my lord, I'll go up first." ”

The brocade guard jumped on the boat, Lian Sheng closed his eyes and jumped forward, Xu Yan's hands grabbed her arms strongly, and felt that her feet had touched the board, she opened her eyes and let out a long breath. It may be that the expression on her face is too exaggerated, and a young man not far away looks at her with a smile. The young man was in his twenties, ordinary-looking, dressed in ordinary brown clothes and carrying the same coarse cloth baggage.

Liansheng felt that his expression was too hideous to scare others, so he smiled embarrassedly at the man and stood aside. Everyone had already boarded the boat one after another, Lian Sheng pulled Xu Yan to find a place to sit, and the four guards scattered or sat or stood, vigilant at any time.

It was a large passenger ship, with more than thirty people sitting on board. Opposite Lian Sheng and Xu Yan sat an old man with a daughter, the girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was handsome. Seeing Xu Yan's big black and white eyes, she glanced at her face. He blushed and lowered his head, and looked at Lotus Sheng. The girl's ears were red.

"Xu Yan, we are dressed as men now, don't stare at other girls."

Xu Yan leaned on Liansheng's shoulder and chuckled: "Master, look, her face is red." ”

The girl lowered her head, and quietly looked at the two scholars opposite from the corner of her eyes, they are really good-looking, white and clean, looking at the clothes, they should be the sons of rich families. The smile is also good, oops, he looks at me again.

Xu Yan couldn't imagine that this girl was so shy, she blushed when she was looked at, and leaned on Liansheng's shoulder and smiled.

The boat went smoothly all the way, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and Lian Sheng and Xu Yan took out dry food from their bags to eat. Some of the people around were talking, and some were eating dry food, because it was expected to reach the end in the evening. There is always a pastime to pass this lonely time.

After a while, a strong wind rose on the river, and the waves were agitated, and the boat could not stop shaking. The girl leaned against the old man, her hands clenched and nervous.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Liansheng comforted softly on the side.

The girl bit her lip and nodded.

At this time, he saw a large ship appear on the opposite side. The flags on the flagpole waved in the wind and rattled. Before Liansheng could see what was written on the banner, he heard someone exclaim, "Oh my God." It's a river bandit! ”

There are a lot of river bandits on this river who are doing murder and overselling goods without capital, but the government suppresses them tightly, and rarely appears during the day, and they are basically only for the chartered boats of rich businessmen and magnates, and rarely deal with this kind of ordinary wooden boats, so the boat owner on the cabin board was also frightened, and hurriedly ordered the sailors who rowed below: "Turn around, turn around, it's a river bandit, a river bandit." ”

As soon as Xu Yan heard that there were bandits, her eyes lit up. She rarely met a villain along the way, and she had nowhere to show her kung fu, and she felt that her bones were going to be hard, which would see that there were bandits who didn't have long eyes, and the whole person was in a state of eagerness. Lian Sheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Xu Yan, and signaled with his eyes that she should not act rashly.

The river bandits' boat approached so fast that the civilian boat had to stop, and the owner of the boat hung his head and did not know what to do at all, and the people on board were all frightened. The four brocade guards also mixed in with the crowd, carefully observing their surroundings, waiting for Liansheng's orders.

Liansheng held Xu Yan tightly, afraid that her brain would rush up.

The leader of the Jiang bandits was a tall man with a dark face, and he jumped on the deck, followed by three rough men, the hull sank slightly, and Xu Yan whispered in Liansheng's ear: "I'm still a practitioner." ”

"Good man, look, this boat is full of ordinary people, there is no oil and water, and your boss has a lot of us to put a yard." The boat boss stepped forward and nodded and handed over a few taels of silver, and the leader of the Jiang bandits sneered, "When Lao Tzu wants to send away the flowers?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the small one is also a small business, the good man spared the little one, the small family has an eighty old mother......" Before the owner of the boat finished speaking, he was kicked away by the river bandit, and just hit the young man in brown, the young man was knocked straight back, and then hurriedly helped the owner of the boat and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"So, I don't believe in the gang of poor ghosts I really met."

The leader of the Jiang bandits gave an order, and the three subordinates rushed towards the crowd viciously.

There was chaos in the crowd, and everyone was huddled around, screaming.

The four brocade guards looked at Liansheng, waiting for instructions for the next step, and Liansheng shook his head at them, signaling to be calm.

Jiang bandits searched the packages that people were carrying, and suddenly one of the Jiang bandits shouted: "What is this!" ”

It turned out that a man had opened the burden of the young man in brown, and a skull rolled out of it. The girl standing not far from the young man was frightened, grabbed the old man's arm, this scream also attracted the attention of the Jiang bandit leader, he saw the beautiful woman in the crowd at a glance, and a lewd smile appeared on his face: It seems that these poor ghosts don't get much benefit, but it's not bad to have such a water spirit girl.

"What is this? How do you carry this thing with you? Bad luck. ”

Jiang Bandit kicked the skull, and the young man hurriedly stepped forward to protect the skull and said, "If you want money to take it, don't damage my baby." ”

"Hell, there are people like this." Jiang Bandit found a bag of broken silver from his package, and muttered to someone else. The young man picked up the skull, carefully checked for damage, gently wiped the dust from the skull with his sleeve, and then picked up the messy baggage and carefully wrapped the skull.

"Master, you see this person is so strange, can't it be the kind of pervert you said." Xu Yan muttered in a low voice.

"What do you say?"

A bandit pointed at Xu Yan and shouted.

Xu Yan pursed her lips, lowered her head and didn't want to pay attention to him, she was afraid that she would be angry and punch him to death.

"Daddy!" A woman's exclamation came, and it turned out that the leader of the Jiang bandits strode forward and grabbed the girl's arm, and pulled her out of the old man's hand.

"Let go of me." The woman struggled. The leader of the Jiang bandits smiled fiercely and pinched the woman's jaw with one hand: "It's smart enough, it's good, it's good, it's fun tonight." ”

"Hahaha, big brother has good eyesight, my brothers haven't found such a delicate little lady yet, big brother, if you have played enough, you have to reward your brothers."

"Rest assured, you and my brothers work together."

The Jiang bandit man smiled cruelly, and the woman saw the tragic fate she was about to face, and cried: "Don't, don't, help me, help me." ”

The old man rushed up and was knocked down by the Jiang bandit next to him, and the owner of the boat begged bitterly: "Good man, you can't be like this, people are innocent girls, there is silver here, good men can go ashore to find my sister." ”

The leader of the Jiang bandits laughed: "If you inquire about my Hei San'er, you like this clean and good woman." ”

The people around dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and the four brocade guards only hid in the crowd and watched from afar without Liansheng's permission.

"Lang Lang Qiankun, it's just that you are robbing rampant on the river, and you don't even let go of the women of the good family, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"

The brown-clothed green pushed everyone away and strode forward, pointing at the leader of the Jiang bandit and scolding.

"Yo, who didn't tie the towel tightly and leaked you." The black San'er pointed disdainfully: "Throw this kid down for me, and let him reason with the Dragon King of Jiang." (To be continued......)

PS: Guess, what is this young man doing with a skull on his back.
