Chapter 115: Xiaoxiang Dao
The majestic water, slow, clear and quiet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Several light boats sail slowly in the morning light, and they hardly need to be oars to go down the river, just control the direction. When there is really a big sound, the sky is far away, and the light boat has passed the artistic conception and feeling of ten thousand mountains.
Even after the rain, the Xiaoshui River looks extremely clear, if you stand on the bow of the boat to feel the freshness of the sky, with the bend and turn, there is a scene of the cave. Even people who pass by here every day, seeing the flavor of this situation and this scene, make people feel suddenly enlightened.
Two of the pine boats, although they had four-eaves wooden sheds for rest, were not very large boats. However, although this kind of light boat is not very large, it is more than ten meters long, and the cabin is turned into a cabin, so it has a two-story roof, and a four-eaves wooden shed is erected on the top, and it becomes a two-story ship.
The cabin of the cabin has been turned into a bedroom, and there is also a floor above it that can be easily carried around, making this small boat also a large boat, which is the first choice for families. However, ordinary passenger ships will not be rebuilt in this way, because the area is small and not suitable for profit, and it is not safe to carry many people.
The two ships that followed closely together, looking exactly the same, must be partners together, if you look closely, you can see a red flag at the stern, and there is a big black Nie character on the flag.
On both boats there were four male boatwomen, one with a helm and the other with a large pulp, and apparently often walked in the great river. Their speed was relatively fast because of the downstream, and the other boats were far less big than them, and they were relatively close at first, and gradually became some distance away as the river widened, although they were not together, but they followed this direction.
Although the water flow is not too rapid in the upper reaches, the water volume increases greatly as the river widens and the natural water potential gradually strengthens. The wide river with these wooden boats is a little more lively.
If it is only one or two boats, it will usually stop at the shore to rest, and if it is a fleet, most of them will be connected together. First, it is for the safety of the ship, and secondly, the people on the ship are naturally worried about accidents and will not ask for this.
It was just dawn now, and judging by the speed of these ships, they must have been anchored nearby last night. At present, the largest on the river are these two light boats with four eaves and wooden sheds.
Looking at its appearance, anyone who is a little closer to the water's edge will know that it is obviously not a passenger boat that usually sails, but a boat transformed by a private rich family.
On a light boat in front, a young man was shirtless, with only a pair of waist pants on his lower body, punching in the gap between the bow of the wooden boat.
Although there was no sound of heha, and there was no tiger and tiger wind, but his interesting movements, even the captain who was steering the direction of the bow chord pole, looked at him from time to time, which was obviously quite novel.
Although he looks like he is already grandiose, he is actually only seventeen or eighteen years old, and in this era when everyone is precocious, he is indeed an adult. The resolute face revealed a little relaxation, and the corners of his lips were even more joyful, obviously he was in a good mood.
Looking at the muscles of his exposed upper body are strong and powerful, although they are not as strong and convex as those who practice foreign skills, but the muscles that are tight and rhythmic all over the body are not redundant or thin. It looks like the whole body is full of vitality, but it also looks very powerful.
The sky is already full of morning glow, and it seems that it is a good day today.
What is surprising is that there are several huge scars on his chest and back, the longest of which is almost a foot. Although the recovery is very good, the scar left behind is like a tender red centipede lying on the body, and you can imagine how terrifying and serious the original scar was.
But it's these scars that make him have some plain facial features and a not very tall figure, which makes him look even more charming. also made him a little more heart-warming, which made people ignore his plain appearance.
There was a hint of freshness in the river in the early morning, coupled with the strength of his whole body, although it looked unassuming, in fact, every move and style was full of strength, so that he could see that the whole person was steaming, as if he was sweating.
The sky began to spit red colors, making the sky colorful, looking away from the direction of the morning glow, it seemed that his whole person was shrouded in the morning light, and under the glow of the morning glow, it also made him seem to be shining with divine light.
Surprisingly, his punches and kicks didn't seem to be fast, nor were they complicated. It seemed to be an unpleasant movement, which was clearly visible to the shipwrews on both sides of the ship and at the helm of the boat, as if they saw him playing, but the pace under his feet was dazzling.
His upper body was constantly moving, it was an unpleasant stretching movement, but his legs below didn't seem to have changed much. To outsiders, standing at the bow of the boat and stretching, it was as if he hadn't moved much, only the arms of his upper body were performing punches.
In fact, the steps under his feet are extremely complicated, although they are in a narrow range, in fact, the steps taken by the steps are extremely regular. In following a certain direction, it is also full of this gossip trip, if people who understand it will be surprised if they see it.
Because of the large number of steps and the speed is quite fast, ordinary people can't notice the speed of his steps at all, and see it as if his feet are not moving much. It's because the pace is too complicated, and the pace doesn't seem to be big, and it's always rotating in a small circle, but it makes people look like they're not moving.
His punches are not complicated, just some simple moves such as ordinary strikes, sides, shocks, slashes, splits, and slashes. But when he looked closely, he found that each of these techniques was naturally coherent and coherent under his hands, without the slightest hindrance.
It's as if a blow goes out, followed by a natural tremor of the arm, and when the palm slashes down, it naturally becomes a side strike of the elbow. Every movement seems to be coherent and feels like it's a given, and it's enough to make people feel like it's supposed to be this action.
It was because his movements did not pause, so he seemed to have no time to rest at all, and it also made him sweat all over. Although he was sweating all the time, he was smiling with a resolute smile all the time, and his breathing did not feel much change, which was really amazing.
Suddenly, his movements slowed down, for the thin wooden door of the cabin was opened, revealing a delicate and delicate face, which was delicate and lovely, although it was covered with long hair, but the face was already open, and it could be seen that this was a woman who had just become a woman. Looking at this delicate face, he finally stopped slowly.
"Girou!" The gentle voice was like a heavenly sound, and she walked out slowly, as if full of joy. Seeing the young man's sweat and strong muscles, although there was a hint of shyness in the corners of his eyes, he still cared a lot. Holding a soft linen towel in his hand, he walked quickly and approached him.
"Sanniang, why did you get up so early, it's still early! Why don't you sleep a little longer! The gentle language in his eyes was even more considerate, and when he saw her gently wiping her sweat with a towel, he couldn't help but instinctively gently hold her little hand.
"Girou!" A snort and panic made this woman a little more charming and cute. She looked at the captain on the side with a flushed face, but the captain lowered his head knowingly, obviously knowing a lot about the love of this kind of young couple.
The young man's eyes were a little resolute, and he gently held the woman's hand, without the slightest intention of letting go. The little young woman let him hold one of her hands and a towel in the other to wipe his sweat. Seeing the young man looking at himself stupidly, although he was very shy, his heart was very sweet, thinking about himself and his experience, he couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
She is the third lady of the Nie family of the famous Nie Family Fort in Daozhou City, and she is now the most prestigious family woman in Daozhou. And he is Nie Xiaoqi, the original servant of the Nie family, who has now been reborn, and now he has also been named Nie Qi.
When the two of them came together, the most important thing was the approval of Nie Huzi, the head of the Nie family. In this era of clear classes, how could a woman of Nie Sanniang's status marry a guy like Nie Qi! It's a little incredible in the eyes of others.
This is also Nie Huzi's cleverness, something that seems incredible to others, but he now takes it for granted.
This era is indeed still clearly classified, and the identity of the gate valve is important, but since Zhu Wen and the Tang Dynasty, the world's high-ranking lords have almost been slaughtered by him, and the high-door valves, which have always been the mainstream, have become yesterday's yellow flowers. In the Central Plains Qilu, Guanzhong Huainan, and even in the south of the Yangtze River, the former Gaomen valve no longer exists.
Although many up-and-coming families want to resurrect themselves, it is difficult to pick up the glory of the past. What's more, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the change of regimes in the five generations has been complicated, and the warlords and towns in various places do not take the Gaomen lords in their eyes.
Therefore, although the Nie family is conceited in Daozhou, it is far from being a big family, not to mention that the Nie family still sold smuggled salt to make a fortune. The Nie family, who has always listed the family as a family member, although it attaches great importance to reputation and prestige, but on the basis that Nie Qi now has a backer, he first expressed his goodwill.
If you just use women to win over young heroes, it may be a family farce. But Nie Qi actually loves his mistress deeply, and the third lady of the Nie family has always had a good impression of this little girl, and this best ending is tantamount to making Nie Huzi the most happy.
This is tantamount to a fire of dry firewood, which is ignited at one point. Although the two did not hold a grand wedding, Nie Huzi invited Daozhou City Zuozheng Jin Ying to witness the marriage, and also invited the patriarchs of the two local families of Cai and Lu, and the rest were not specially invited.
Because of the absence of Mr. Guiyuan, the man temporarily let Nie Zhong serve as the elder, and after the two were recognized by the family and elders, they truly became husband and wife. I just need to see Mr. Guiyuan in the next day, and then discuss how to arrange it.
The longing in the hearts of the two people was provoked, and they were together as they wished, which naturally made the two of them like glue.
Because of the reason why his master assisted He Xiaoyao, Nie Qi also had to go to Yongzhou to follow He Xiaoyao and exercise his cultivation. After completing the homework assigned by the master, he naturally had to leave for the army, so that he could get close to the master and get more teachings.
Since He Xiaoyao led the army to occupy Daozhou City, although King Gui wanted to send someone to govern it, Nie Huzi believed in He Xiaoyao's ability without saying a word. Not to mention Xie Laohu, Xie Zhi, who is fighting against him, is the famous Mr. Guiyuan, which is enough to make Nie Huzi feel that he is betting correctly.
The first is to let Nie Sanniang follow him, and the other is to let his nephew Nie Wujiao go with him, after all, the Nie family relies on private salt, and now the Han army has won all the way, if the Nie family can be assisted by a business house all the way, or occupy business opportunities, no matter what happens in the future, it will have a bright future.
Nie Qi and the two of them naturally didn't know that Nie Huzi had so many ways in his heart, and he set off from Daozhou City on the Nie family's passenger ship, and the road was unimpeded. Because of this connected waterway, it is now all in the hands of the Han army. There is a piece of customs clearance paperwork for Jin Ying, and the sailors along the way completely let them go.
Daozhou City to Yongzhou City, now the waterway is smooth, a total of only a hundred miles of waterway, and it is down the river Xiaoshui, which can be reached in a normal day. It was not far away, and the two of them were in love all the way, but it was already the morning of the third day, and the two of them had not yet arrived in Lingling City.
As the young master of the Nie family, and in charge of the family's business, Nie Wuyi definitely has his own advantages and talents. Traveling with Nie Qi this time, for Nie Wuyi, his heart was a little complicated. You know, he can be said to have watched Nie Qi grow up, although he hasn't had too much contact, and he also knows that he is his family's little servant.
used to be his cousin's little servant, and he actually had the audacity to have a crush on his master, and in the past, Nie Wuyi knew the lowest punishment, and he would also expel people from the house half to death.
But after Nie Qi protected himself from danger with death, Nie Wuji's opinion of Nie Qi completely changed. If there is no follow-up story, if there is no downfall of Zhang Wenxuan, maybe Nie Wuyi can only set up a loyal servant god position for Nie Qi. Many years later, when I mentioned this young man to the descendants of the Nie family, I paid something for the Nie family.
But things in the world are so delicate, when he was grounded by his uncle to recuperate, earth-shaking things happened in Daozhou City. Not only has Daozhou City changed its owner, but even the Nie family also raised their eyebrows at a critical moment.
When he heard that Nie Qi was not dead, Nie Wuyi was really moved. When he heard it in his uncle's mouth, Nie Qitu had an adventure and became a character that could not be ignored, Nie Wuyi was still like a cloud, and he couldn't believe that it was true.
As his injuries improved, his uncle paid more and more attention to himself, and he realized that Xie Laohu, who was the opponent of the Nie family in the past, actually hooked up with his own family, a little guy who saved him, and called him a brother. With his understanding of his uncle, he knew that his uncle must want to let him continue to hold the thread of Nie Qi.
In the end, to Nie Wuyi's surprise, he didn't expect that for the sake of the Nie family, his uncle would even send his cousin out. Although I know that Nie Qi's parents are not surnamed Nie, but in this era, what is the difference between them as slaves of the Nie family and those surnamed Nie.
From the perspective of the Nie family, after Nie Huzi got the title of Daozhou City Chief, Nie Wuji somewhat understood his uncle's position and considerations. Whether his choice brings disaster to the family or allows the family to expand its strength, at least no matter who is in charge, the Nie family will have a certain right to speak.
After understanding his uncle's hard work, even if the injuries on his body were not all healed, Nie Wuyi still asked Ying to come out with him. But after following Nie Qi for two days, Nie Wuyi knew how stupid his choice was, and regretted not bringing Rui Niang.
When the army of the Great Han Kingdom occupied Daozhou City, Nie Huzi saw that his nephew was seriously injured, and he also doubted the identity of Cai Jiu Niangzi, and sent someone to arrest her into Nie Jiabao. I didn't expect that the identity of this Nine Lady was really not simple, but she was not Zhang Wenxuan's spy, but a pawn that Xie Laohu Xie Zhi originally wanted to get close to the Nie family.
Nie Huzi and Xie Laohu shook hands, and Cai Jiu Niangzi, who was born in a few people, became the link between Nie Huzi and Xie Laohu, and naturally became the concubine recognized by the Nie family and Nie Wujiao.
Looking at Nie Qi and me, Nie Wuyi naturally felt a little slanderous in his heart, and he was a little impatient on the passenger ship behind. When I came out of the cabin, I saw two people standing at the bow of the boat, especially when I saw Nie Qi naked, so I was excited.
"Hey, hey, hey! You two are too much! Nie Wuji had a good relationship with this cousin, and after Nie Qi sacrificed his life to save him, Nie Wuji regarded Nie Qi as a brother, so he also stood on the bow of the boat and roared. If it weren't for the fact that the injury in his left leg hadn't healed, he would have jumped over if the boat had come a little closer.
"Third brother!" Nie Sanniang's face was also red with shame, and she stomped her feet and looked angrily at Nie Wuyi, who was only a few meters away behind her. Because he and Nie Qi have just become husband and wife, the two of them will naturally be inseparable for the first time. is most afraid of being made fun of, and Nie Wuyi is an expert in the old fritters when it comes to men and women, and when he speaks out, Nie Sanniang is naturally ashamed.
Although Nie Qi loves Nie Sanniang deeply, he can't help but love himself in every way. Although he knew that Nie Wuyi was making fun of him, his heart couldn't help but tighten. After all, although his body was reborn after being instructed by Mr. Guiyuan, he could only be regarded as an ordinary man who had learned foreign family skills before.
Mr. Guiyuan's teachings are vivid, thinking of this, Nie Qi couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed, looking at his shy wife, with endless love in his heart, but his face was silent. Holding Nie Sanniang tightly, he looked at Nie Wuyi on the boat behind him, and replied lightly: "The third ,,, and the third brother taught the extreme, Xiao Qi was too playful, and almost forgot the master's entrustment!" ”
Feeling the slight tremor in his arms, he couldn't help but look at Nie Sanniang and whispered: "Lady, we really have to speed up the trip, Lingling City in front has been taken by General He's army, I'm afraid that Yongzhou City is not a problem, Xiao Qi still wants to train under the general!" ”
Although Nie Sanniang is not the kind of lady who is beautiful, she is also a lady in Daozhou City, and the family has a bit of entanglement, so she is naturally a little more knowledgeable than ordinary women. Seeing Nie Qi say this, not only was he not angry, but he was a little more happy, and he actually hugged Nie Qi's body tightly.
"Qilang, Sanniang understands, and I'm even happier that you think so, you have such a heart and ambition, Sanniang will definitely follow you in this life!"
Behind the two, in the cabin door, a young girl leaned against the door and looked at each other, who was it not Xianglan!
Nie Wuyi originally wanted to make fun of the two of them, but when he saw that the two of them did not cooperate and randomly entered the cabin, he was very frustrated.
"Third master, there are two small boats behind, they have been following us for a long time!" Nie Quanyi's voice interrupted Nie Wuyi's thoughts, he was the son of Xianglan's uncle Nie Lian. He not only got the true inheritance of Mantis Boxing, but also got Professor Nie Huzi, and he was the leader of the younger generation of the Nie family to protect his family.
Nie Wuji looked at him, he was also followed by a guest of the Nie family, who was also a relatively famous swordsman in the Wuling area. Nie Wuyi has always been extremely relieved about the skills and experience of the two people, after all, the two of them often follow the children of the Nie family to do business.
"The front is Lingling City, if it is not a military school, who would be so bold, obviously hanging the banner of the Nie family, friends on the road should know it!" Nie Wuyi muttered in his heart, and when he looked back, there were two canoes on the river, and sure enough, a few people followed quickly.
The other party not only followed the boat that was not far away, but also openly stood in the boat, and what made Nie Wuyi even more puzzled was that the other party was still holding a weapon in his hand. Looking at their outfits, it is obvious that they are not the Han army that has just been conquered all the way, but looking at their uniform clothing, they obviously belong to the same organization.
"The other party is obviously not good, the third master's body has not yet recovered, you can temporarily enter the cabin first!" Zhan Zhao said sincerely, he is a real Jianghu guest, and when he sees the other party's approach, he knows that the other party has a plan.
"If the other party wants to act, it is estimated that he will have to pass through Lingling City and inform the third aunt!" Nie Wuyi looked at the two small boats behind him coldly, although his body had not fully recovered, there was still no problem with ordinary self-rescue.
Although Nie Jiabao is not a big family, it is also a place with a good reputation in Daozhou and even near Yongzhou, and it is generally a friend of the Tao, and it will give Nie Huzi a little face. And Lingling City can be said to have not debuted hundreds of miles away from the state, and there are actually people following him, which obviously makes Nie Wuji very angry.
Sure enough, as the ship approached Lingling City, the two small boats were quite far away. What surprised Nie Wuyi was that the water village that had always set up barriers on the edge of Lingling City was actually missing even the water village on the river. Along the way, both sides of the river were full of messes, and it was obviously washed by the heavy water.
Could it be that the water village has been washed away, and an inexplicable thought rose in Nie Wuyi's heart. And then you got the answer. I saw that the river water was clear in the place I had just come, and as the passenger boat slowly crossed the edge of Lingling City, I saw that there were broken branches and leaves everywhere, and the water in the river was also turbid.
Nie Wuji looked at the completely different Xiaoshui in amazement, looked at the various things that were not washed away along the way, and even saw a few corpses, Nie Wuji really believed that there should have been a major flood here not long ago.
"Someone is here again, Third Master!" Nie Quanyi frowned and looked at the river, only to see that from the side near the edge of Lingling City, three more small boats followed.
Although it came later, they actually responded to the two boats behind, obviously they knew each other.
Seeing Nie Qi come out, Nie Wuji asked the captain to slowly bring the two passenger boats closer together, and then looked at Nie Qi. The two of them looked at each other, and they already understood what each other meant.
Nie Qi was wearing a long robe, standing at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, his clothes fluttering and his long hair dancing, with the pride of a generation of ranger swordsmen, looking at the few small boats that followed in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh.
