In the ninth year of Taiye, June 18.

A sudden thunderstorm washed the river water of the Xilan River more green, like a dancing belt around the slender waist of a cardamom girl, revealing the unique graceful grace of Jiangnan.

The Xilan River is the main stream of the Grand Canal running through the north and south in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ships coming from the north cross the Tuojiang River and turn into the Xilan, and after passing the Hezhou River and then go south along the canal water, you can reach the Gyeongju Jianyang, which is now building a palace.

And the counties of Hezhou are also like pearls on the banks of the Xilan River, woven into waterways that extend in all directions by a fine water network.

Rush over the mountain, slow down the boat. Whether it is transporting passengers or goods, in the mild Jiangnan and Hezhou, most people still choose to walk on the river calmly.

Thousands of sails passed by the river, and an old merchant ship heading in the direction of the capital city of Hezhou was slowly moving in it, and the owner of the ship in his forties with a square face and a big mouth was like his ship with a deep draft, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his heart was heavy.

The water map he was holding in his hand was wrinkled, and several place names in the south had been ticked off with a red pen.

"Yiqing, Zeting, Huocheng, Xinliu ......", the middle-aged boat owner muttered to the several county towns that had passed safely, and his heart was still uneasy.

"Boss, a ship is coming!" , the sharp-eyed sailor on the ship shouted sharply at the top of his voice. Twenty or thirty men, including the owner of the ship, immediately pressed the sabers beside them, and if anyone with sharp eyes came to recognize them, they would definitely find that these knives of the unified system came from the army.

An ordinary merchant ship that had set sail away from the side without waiting for the old ship to respond, Shi Shiran brushed it over, causing the people on board to panic in vain.

"It's almost at the edge of the city. This trip should be thrilling. The square-faced owner let out a sigh. I folded the picture in my hand and put my sleeve back.

That's when it happened. A volley of flying claws, as if with eyes, grazed the side of the square-faced shipper, and slammed into the ship's mast. Tightening the claws was a long silver rope that shimmered with cold light.

"Oh ......," shouted the shipowner, who immediately responded, and a thin thorn pierced his throat. Holding the strange silver thorns with two thin and thick middle ends was a girl in red, half of her face covered by a red silk veil the same color as her clothes, and she could only see her eyebrows and eyes picturesque.

Just when she unceremoniously withdrew her elbow and withdrew her hand, the lifeless corpse in front of her fell to the ground. instantly made her feminine state greatly reduced.

At the same time, there was a group of Xuanyi men on top of the ship, fighting with the sailors on the ship. The ship that had narrowly collided and avoided just now was sticking to the right side of the old merchant ship, as if it were exchanging secret words.

Some sailors who were in a hurry to escape jumped off the side of the ship, trying to find a way to survive in the water. But I don't know what strange way the red-clothed girl who took the lead used to slip down the edge of the boat like a water snake, and the thin thorns in her hands stabbed quickly, and a few blood-colored splashes bloomed on the river again.

In just two moments, the sailors on the old merchant ship were wiped out.

The girl in red followed a man in black clothes down the bilge with a little excitement, opened the mezzanine, and saw a silver shop. Immediately made her smile crooked.

"Let's go back!" At the sound of an order, the old merchant ship immediately lost its rudder and followed the merchant ship that was originally attached to its side into a narrow waterway. Soon after, they were anchored in a secluded reed.

Other boats were already waiting here, and immediately there were people with lacquered buckets of canvas. Busy turning over the old ship.

A lean man greeted the girl in red and said loudly, "Sixth girl! Lu Harrier's letter is accurate, right? Zhang Shaoxiong's guy faked the old ship this time to transport silver from Yiqing. I still can't hide from our eagle eyes! ”

The girl in red giggled and wiped the face covering from her face. Pouted in response: "Your old eagle eyes are so dazzled that you recognize the wrong person!" ”

"Red Plum! How are you! Lu Harrier clapped his hands indignantly, his face was full of suffocation, and he asked in surprise: "Last time, our Xiaoliu just reminded you that you and Miss Six have different eyebrows, and I obviously looked at you just like Miss Six." ”

"Eyebrows can be repaired!" , Hongmei smiled coquettishly and pointed to her eyebrows proudly.

"I can only let our little sixth master divide your master and servant!" , Lu Harrier pretended to be annoyed and shouted loudly, and the afterglow of his eyes secretly glanced at the two figures on the side of the reeds that were still more than two feet apart as before, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Like Xing Laosi, who was in line with the boat, Lu Harrier was also born in a scout family in the army. Not to mention recognizing two girls who have known each other for many years, even recognizing two twin sisters in the vast sea of people is confident that they will not make mistakes.

pestering Hongmei, who once again pretended to be Zhou Manyun, was talking here, just to leave more idle time for the two main owners in the compartment over there.

In four or five years, the original little girl Zhou Manyun was already about to reach in the autumn, but the distance between Xiao Hong and her almost did not become two feet four or five.

"Take the tenth of the silver on the ship, and we will scatter the rest into the counties. The ship will be destroyed when it reaches Shinyanagi. Miss Zhou Jialiu accompanied her second sister-in-law back to her parents' house to live, and returned to Huocheng a month later, which will not be suspicious. Zhou Manyun, who was dressed in a dark robe, said the follow-up arrangements softly, paused, and waited for the response of the person on the side.

Xiao Hong sighed and said in a low voice: "Then next time it will be the Qixi Festival and the state capital zaijian." ”

"Okay, Tanabata, Hezhou!" , Man Yun smiled lightly, calm and natural.

The Tanabata date has nothing to do with love. The Zhou family has always wanted to kill Zhang Shaoxiong, who was in charge of Hezhou, but the three assassinations arranged in the past few years were all escaped by Zhang Shaoxiong. Although Man Yun calculated that Zhang Shaoxiong would die in the spring of next year, he still wanted to kill him first for the sake of safety.

Because there are many things in the previous life that are uncertain, Zhou Manyun naturally has doubts about whether Zhang Shaoxiong will die next year.

After October of the fifth year of Taiye, those major events in the previous life still happened the same, such as the Youzhou Shi family funded the "buy" back of Yanzhou from Hanguo, and promised to pay tribute and Han from now on, and among the thieves who rebelled in the north, it was Pingzhou Liu Tai who first raised the banner of Northern Chu, and it was faintly rumored that there was a person named Xu Ne in the righteous army of Northern Chu.

However, the situation in Jiangnan, especially Hezhou, is very different from that year. Although Zhang Shaoxiong, who was assassinated three times, did not die, he was unable to survive because he was seriously injured, but became more gloomy and introverted. Originally, the counties were full of thieves, but because the Huocheng Zhou family took the lead in organizing the township bravery, the big clans in the counties followed suit, and they also converged a lot.

In addition, from the boundary of Xize, there is a "colorful cloud brocade" that runs up and down the river without a trace to the north, and there are red thieves operating in the Baoshan mining area of Yiqing to the south.

Zhang Shaoxiong, who is in the Hezhou capital, seems to be more addicted to women than in his previous life because of assassination injuries and military setbacks. The Tianxiang Girl's Garden in Fucheng is said to have been vigorously supported by him, and in Manyun's memory, the Tianxiang Girl's Garden in the previous life was also in Hezhou, but it didn't seem to be as famous as it is now. And listening to Shengping, who shared information, said that Tianxiang Girl's Garden was related to Luo Jing's harem, Man Yun naturally thought of the eunuch corpse back then.

Different human worlds naturally have to be treated in different ways. Zhou Manyun thought to himself that he was quite sober.

Counted the silver ingots that belonged to the deserved, loaded the ship and set sail, and said goodbye to the man cloud standing on the old ship of the new paint haode, Xiao Hong's actions were natural, and there was no drag in the slightest.

"The six girls are getting more and more beautiful, and their bodies are growing, and that kind of natural and charming state can really be called the national color. It's also good.,It's very dignified to whisper softly.,But it's generous inside.。 It is also a habit to praise people, and over the years, Lu Harrier does not say a word, and his mouth is itchy.

"Hmm!" , the response to him is still as if it has not changed for thousands of years.

Lu Harrier couldn't help but roll his eyes, and spread out on the deck, too lazy to pay attention to the little master next to him who hadn't opened his mind until now.

Xiao Hong, who is eighteen years old, is a good teenager, and his height is three inches taller than Lu Harrier, because of the relationship between the perennial martial arts, his posture is tall and vigorous, and his face has been dyed with some color.

It's just that people are stupid, no matter how much they mention it, they don't even know how to do the trick of bringing a pearl flower to a girl! Lu Harrier sighed deeply, jumped up, squatted back at Xiao Hong's feet, raised his face and smiled mysteriously: "Little Sixth Master, let's go to Hezhou this time, I'll take you to the Cui Pavilion, it's very interesting there." ”

If the master has been mixed in the pile for a long time and doesn't know how to deal with the girl's family, Lu Harrier feels that he has the obligation to take him to learn. Jing Guogong, who is known as the beauty of the world, has a son who has been with the chick for several years and has not been able to make an inch, which is simply a shame.

In June, the Hezhou capital was lit up at night, and the traffic was busy.

The emperor of Luojing was still worried about the chaos in the north, but the south of the Yangtze River, which is separated by a Tuojiang River, has been plagued by gangsters in recent years, but it is generally much better than the north. The bandits are mostly mixed in the mountains and forests, and the heavily armed Hezhou can sing and dance in peace.

In the backyard of the Hezhou Shengping, Lu Harizi looked at Xiao Hong, who was beckoned by himself to help the maid pick up the new ones, and nodded with satisfaction. ran up to Xiao Hong's side, and naturally lowered his waist to make a deputy haode attendant, and said, "Young master, the little one will take you to the Cui Pavilion and his party." ”

"I said I didn't want to go to that kind of fireworks land!" , Xiao Hong's brows were screwed into one place helplessly.

Lu Harrier was just about to persuade again, but his sleeve was pulled by the shopkeeper Yu of the Zhou Shengping. The shopkeeper Yu, who was thinner than Lu Harrier, said: "It's June, and this year coincides with the Ding Mao Zhengke Township Test, and the young scholars and young men who gathered in the Hezhou capital have no longer gone to the Cui Pavilion, and now they are piling up like flies in the waves." ”

"Canglang Dwelling? Just that letter newspaper said that Zhang Shaoxiong would go to Canglangju about once a month? The boy's face swept away with boredom, and suddenly became interested. (To be continued......)
