Due to the large number of boats and the speed of customs clearance, some people couldn't wait, and wanted to exercise their privileges as scholars, so they sent people to Jinkou to ask for accommodation, but they were beaten back mercilessly, which caused a lot of ridicule from the surrounding area.

Although some people have been refuted, it also allows others to see the opportunity to show their own nobility. Xu You's boat honestly moved slowly with the large army, and from time to time he saw people dressed as slaves holding the pass and the sign to sign up in front of the pass:

"Padang becomes easy ......"

"Linhuai Liu Wang......"

"The ...... of Nankang Qibao"

"Langya Yan is really ......"

Many of these people are middle-class or even second-class scholars, and they have a lot of say in the local county and the surrounding counties, but their usual majesty has been coldly received in this small Changhe Jinkou. Although the lord of Tianjin guarding the pass spoke in a calm tone and had a humble attitude, no matter what outsiders said, he had only one answer: "This is the Yangzhou Assassin Mansion Liu Zhijun personally wrote the Wu County and Huiji Counties, strictly ordering the dais, trusses, ferries, and Tianjin along the river not to release boats to clear the customs, no matter who it is, it must be searched in detail, if there is a favoritism and fraudster, kill!" ”

Yangzhou Thorn Shi Liuquan, born in the Liu clan in Hedong, his brother, that is, Liu Ning, the secretary of the court, such a family background and power, not to mention these people before Changhe Jinkou, is looking at the entire Chu State, people who can completely ignore his warrant, but I am afraid that they have not yet been born.

Seven or eight scholars were swept away one after another, especially Langya Yan's family couldn't cut the queue, and the others knew that their identities were not as good as Yan Zhen, so they immediately became honest and waited in line for inspection. It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, it is a truth that the privileged class is not unable to abide by the law, but that they are not given the environment to abide by the law.

I don't know how long it took, and finally it was the turn of the incomparably windy Jinjing boat, and slowly arrived in front of Jinkou, where twenty Fuzhou soldiers wearing black ribbons and black armor boarded the boat in turn along the seven gangplanks that had been erected, with the long knives in their hands unsheathed, and their expressions were cautious, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Xu You's boat followed the left side of the Jin Jing boat, and the two were not far apart, and when he saw this scene, he said in a low voice: "This is the part of Yangzhou Mansion?" ”

The army of Chu can be roughly divided into the Chinese army and the foreign army, the Chinese army is the army of the guards stationed in Beijing, and it is also the most important military force of the Chu state. It is mainly composed of six armies, and the leaders are the six generals of the leader, the guard, the left guard, the right guard, the cloud cavalry, and the ranger. In addition, there are five captains of tun cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, and shooting, as well as the army led by the two generals of Jijian and Qiangjiao. The left guard and right guard armies, and the other armies guard the Beijing division, and when there is a war, they will be edicted to ask for it, and once the war is over, they will return to their original places.

The foreign army is relative to the Chinese army, and there are town soldiers, county soldiers, local township soldiers and private soldiers. Fang Zhenbing is the army of the governor's mansion, but because the governor often serves as the governor of the state, he is in charge of the army on the horse and the people on the horse, so he is also called the state soldier, so Xu You has this question.

Zuo Yan's eyes were full of surprise, and he said: "It should be right, Yangzhou Liu Envoy Jun once singled out the most elite troops under his command of 3,000 people to form a separate army, all of them are Xuansheng, Xuanqi, Black Armor, and Black Feathers, looking at it like ink sweeping the sky, known as Moyundu." It's strange, just now those boats sent a few straight water to board the ship to check it, how did Guo Mian get to the Mo Yundu dispatch? And why such a brave trilogy would be sent to arrest a thief is really unusual. ”

Xu You's gaze stayed on Guo Mian's body, who was still sitting on the second floor of the ship, although he didn't know his temperament, but he was bullied by Mo Yun to the boat, and he could still sit still, either he was really in danger and confident, or he was pretending to be calm and had a ghost in his heart.

He smiled slightly and said: "Xiang Zhuang is dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong, I am afraid that the thief is fake, and the robbery of wealth is real!" ”

As if to confirm Xu You's speculation, he suddenly heard a person shouting: "Here!" Immediately after that, the sound of swords and stones sounded, and before the people on the surrounding ships could react to what had happened, a man wrapped in a cyan coat broke open the window from the cabin on the west side of the first floor, and tumbled down on the side of the ship.

The man was also able to get up on the ground, and with a strange footwork under his feet, he was able to avoid the long knife that slashed at him, and then without hesitation he crossed the railing of the boat and plunged into the icy water.

"Catch him!"

"What about people?"

"I fell into the water, and I didn't find a trace."

At this time, the surrounding crowd of onlookers understood what had happened, and exclaimed one after another. There was the cowardly, who didn't even care about the excitement, and ran into his own boat with his head in his hands. However, there are also some shrewd people who immediately discovered the deep meaning behind this scene, and also quietly disappeared with the slaves.

Whether it is Guo Mian or Liu Quan, they are all existences that ordinary people can't afford to provoke, such troubled waters, let alone jumping in person, even if they stand by and watch, they are afraid of causing countless troubles.

Three naval fighting ships sailed out of Tsunai, driving away the surrounding boats, and the finished glyph surrounded the Jinjing boat, cutting off its retreat. After half an hour, I don't know if Guo Mian gave up resistance, or reached some agreement with the captain of the army, the Jin Jing boat slowly sailed to the right bank of the Changhe River under the supervision of the fighting ship, giving way to the gap in front of Jinkou, and the river was finally opened!

There is no excuse to find thieves, only the goods are counted, taxes are collected, and the speed of customs clearance is countless times faster. Ding Ji and the thief Cao who guarded the pass are old acquaintances, and they chatted a few words when they handed over the pass, so naturally they will not be embarrassed, and they will soon pass Tianjin and drive down the river.

After what they saw and heard just now, everyone lost their sleepiness, and Xu You's habit of eating supper occurred in real time, Ding Ku'er went to make supper, sat opposite Zuo Yan, and served tea on one side of the autumn equinox.

"Lang Jun, what do you mean by Liu Yuanjun? Could it be that it is fake to catch the thief, and it is true to deal with Guo Mian? ”

Anyway, the night is long, and sitting idle is boring, you might as well cut candles and talk together, Xu You smiled: "It's hard to say, I don't know much about Yangzhou personnel." However, everything in the world is reasonable, and it can be inferred based on clues. You also said that for other ships, only a few Zhishui were dispatched, but for the Jinjing boat, it was twenty Mo Yundu. ”

Zuo Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this is obviously for Guo Mian." ”

Guo Mian's reaction was also very strange, if he really hid thieves privately, with his background, he could completely prevent these people from getting on the boat, Mo Yundu was not Liu Quan himself after all, and he was not afraid. Unless ......"

"Unless he doesn't know there's a thief on his ship?"

"Not bad! Unless this thief was secretly placed on the ship by someone else. ”

Zuo Yan's eyes lit up and said, "Planting? The so-called thieves are actually all the way to the Assassin Mansion? ”

"Perhaps...... You see that after the thief fell into the water, Mo Yundu's people just took a casual look at the side of the boat, and did not actively send people to search along the river, but turned around to deal with Guo Mian......"

As soon as the words fell, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and Ding Ku'er's voice came: "Who is it?" You ......" followed by Ding Ji's frightened voice: "There are thieves...... Lang Jun be careful! Then there was an instant silence.

Zuo Yan's expression changed greatly, he looked at Xu You, grabbed the ground with his right hand, and the long sword that never left his body swished into his hand, and with a gentle push of his thumb, the sword body was half a foot away from the sheath, and the candle flame swayed, illuminating the cold light in the room.

Xu You knew what Zuo Yan was thinking in his heart, because he also thought of someone at the first time, secretly!

Could it be that hundreds of miles away from the Jin Tomb, you still can't escape the pursuit of the dark Yao?

Xu You's face was calm, he stood up and grabbed the hand of the autumn equinox, protected her behind him, and said, "Go out and have a look!" ”

The three of them left the cabin back and forth, and a wet man sat on the deck with his head bowed, his legs stretched out in a figure, and he was twisting the cuffs of his jacket for a while, and the water stains were flowing all over the ground, and at his feet, Ku'er and Ding Ji were lying respectively, his eyes were closed, but his chest was still undulating, and it was obvious that he had fainted.

This person's body appearance is not the slightest resemblance to the dark Yao he met in Jinling City, but Zuo Yan didn't dare to be careless, who knows how many incarnations there are in the dark Yao, walked a few steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "Who is under the feet?" ”

The man grinned, raised his head, and said, "Didn't you see the heroic appearance of me running away from Guo Mian's old horseman's boat just now?" If you don't see it, you're blind, and if you see it, you can't guess who I am, so it's a bit of a problem, maybe here...... There is a disease in the brain! ”

Xu You looked at him coldly, this person's appearance is not handsome, his eyes are small and narrow, the bridge of his nose is high, and his lips are extremely thin.

Zuo Yan is an old Jianghu, and he will not be annoyed by the unreasonable words of the other party, and he does not dare to seriously believe that he is the thief, but he cheered up and said: "Since you escaped from the Jinjing boat, why don't you go away and fly high?" You must know that Mo Yun of the Assassin Mansion is not an ordinary Fuzhou soldier, and no one who has been entangled by them has been able to get out safely until now......

"Fly away? Oh, I'll go on the front foot, and you will report to the official on the back foot, and then the mad dogs in Moyundu will catch up again, isn't it still me who is unlucky? ”

"We have no grievances, and we will probably not meet in the future, we are all people walking around the rivers and lakes, more things are better than less, and one more enemy is better than one more friend. If you leave right now, I pledge with my life that I will never reveal a word to others. ”

The man stood up, and it was also this stand that he realized that his figure was very tall, and his hands and feet were much longer than ordinary people, his gaze crossed Zuo Yan, looked at Xu You, who was speechless, and said, "Didn't you just say that the head is the Tao, how can this become dumb?" ”

It turned out that he had been eavesdropping on his conversation with Zuo Yan, Xu You smiled and said: "I'm a little scared of life, I met my foot for the first time, and I didn't even know my name and surname, so I really don't know what to say!" ”

The man smiled coldly and said, "Scheming, ask for my name." But there's nothing to say to people, and it's okay to tell you, but I don't know if I have the courage to listen? ”
