After the piano drill class, the third brother of Chang'an took a few classmates and friends down the mountain to the place where our caravan camped.

Hearing that Mr. College had granted him a month's vacation, the little scholar of our family didn't believe it at first.

After Uncle Su's confirmation, he was ecstatic, and immediately led his classmates back to the academy to pack up and prepare, and the previous promise to take me to Los Angeles was null and void.

When Chang'an came down the mountain again, he was already dressed as a swordsman with a long sword on his back and black clothes.

"Third brother! You are a weak scholar and scholar, do you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and be a swordsman of Daqin for a while? Ha ha! ”

The long security deputy armor couldn't hide the breath of the book in his bones, and I took the package full of the subset of scriptures and histories in his hand, and couldn't help laughing.

Grandpa, they were also very pleased to see their little grandson like this, and they laughed happily.

After so many years of hard study, the third brother of Chang'an has not become a corrupt Confucian, which is really a great blessing.

"Big brother! You're right! Swordsmanship is a compulsory course in our academy every day, hehe! Why don't our brothers compare here? Let you also see the power of our Yique Spring and Autumn swordsmanship! ”

This little brother who doesn't know the height of the sky dares to challenge his brother who is a blue wolf, he is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!

"Good! Our caravan has another young hero! Get out of the way, everybody! Today, let's see the Spring and Autumn swordsmanship of the young master of Chang'an! ”

Uncle Su was well versed in the young man's competitive and flamboyant psychology, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to give up a space on the shore of Yishui, so that the third brother of Chang'an could play and show off to his heart's content.

Grandpa and grandfather also stood aside to cheer for their little grandchildren with a rare good mood.

Chang'an was not humble either, and the three-foot Xuanjian that he pulled out from behind his back casually waved it in a good way after making a gesture.

Stab, slash, slash, split, sword and snake. Everywhere he went, he saw that the sword flowers were overflowing, and the cold was pressing.

All the viewers, including me, are old rivers and lakes who came out of the bloody storm.

At a glance, it can be seen that the third brother of Chang'an's swordsmanship is more than skilled, but his strength is insufficient, and he does not have much lethality in actual combat.

But for a schoolboy who is only thirteen years old, this is already very good, and it is much more than we expected.

I originally thought that the third brother of Chang'an would only read the books of sages as they used to do in their own Qingfengze Academy.

I didn't expect that these schoolchildren were not only familiar with the scriptures, but also proficient in swordsmanship and piano exercises, which is really not easy!

It seems that Luoyi Academy is famous all over the world for its own reasons, and the people cultivated here are all all-rounders who can fight on the horse and Anbang when they get off the horse.

The main purpose of the caravan coming east to Luoyang was to meet the third brother of Chang'an, so after two days of camping at the foot of Longmen Mountain on the bank of Yishui, we set out for camp.

Qin Chong, Liu Zhen'er, and Sha Mihan, the three sworn friends, know that I have a deep brotherhood in Chang'an, and they finally have a lot to say when they get together.

So the three guys have been very interesting these days, deliberately avoiding me, and going to hang out with other guys, so that my ears are much cleaner.

Before leaving, Uncle Su gave us a detailed introduction to the next itinerary.

First from Luoyang, along the Qin King Fu Jian's attack on the Eastern Jin Dynasty's carriage and horse avenue, south to cross the Huaishui to Shouchun in Huainan County.

Then go southeast along the land route to the Niuzhu Rock of the river, and after crossing the river, you can reach the end of this trip in a few days, and the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is Jiankang City.

This section of the journey along the way is mostly abundant water and grass, densely populated places, such as the middle of the pond, the walk of the horse by the reins, 20 days can be reached.

Because of the fiasco in the First Battle of Weishui, the national fortunes of the former Qin also declined, but this north-south gallop road used to transport millions of lions, grain and grass soldiers was completely preserved.

In the first few days, the snow and ice in the north began to melt, and the road was so muddy that it was impossible to walk, so the caravan could only follow the trails on both sides of the road.

After a few days, the road surface gradually turned white, and the horses walked on it without worry, so we turned back and galloped, and within a day we reached the north shore of Huaishui.

But seeing the Huaishui River Haohao Tang Tang rushing from the Tongbai Mountains in the west, all the way to the east, the flat and fertile fields on both sides of the bank seem to have been barren for many years, and the thatched artemisia is full of trees and shrubs.

As far as the eye can see, there are some deserted villages scattered on the wilderness, and there is no human fireworks to hear the sound of chickens and dogs.

Listening to Qin Chong, three years ago in this season, the river was already full of boats.

But now standing on the shore for a long time, I can't see a ferry boat, which makes my grandfather and them anxious.

Huaishui is not as big as the Yellow Water River in the area of the Beidi Hetao, and it is the wet season in spring, the river is deep and the water flow is turbulent, and there is no possibility of crossing the river on horseback.

The caravan had no choice but to camp on the spot, and my grandfather and Uncle Su each took a few men along the coast to find a ferry boat that could ferry us across the river.

At dinnertime, my grandfather returned empty-handed, and Uncle Su only brought back an ancient Huaishui fisherman.

After listening to the introduction of the fisherman's father-in-law, I generally understood the reason.

Two years ago, a group of more than 2,000 bandits came from the Huai Mountain on the other side, and I heard that they were originally the garrison of the former Qin court at Wusheng Pass, and the leader was named Fu Qian.

Later, after the Qin Guopo and the Qin King Fu Jian were captured and died, this garrison went east out of Wusheng Pass under the leadership of the guard general Fu Qian, and came to this north-south key place where the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Qiang and Qin dogs and teeth were intertwined, and occupied the mountain as the king.

Dozens of miles on both sides of the Huaishui River are the sphere of influence of this bandit, who makes a living by extorting money from merchants and robbing houses.

The surrounding boats, fishermen, hunters, and farmers were overwhelmed by this, and they all moved to other countries to make a living.

Therefore, the ferry crossing the river has become the exclusive business of these mountain kings, and there is only one ferry, which is ten miles away from here, and it is called Biyundu.

The wind and waves are high and the thieves are at the helm, and it is terrifying to hear it, and I don't know how many businessmen and travelers in the past have been killed here.

The caravan suddenly entered a dilemma, and it had to travel hundreds of miles west from the Han River to the south.

Finding a suitable ferry port along the north bank of Huaishui to the east is time-consuming and laborious, and the road is unfamiliar, and there may be other disasters hidden in it.

"Forget it, cross the river from Biyun! Captain, you send some people to meet the mountain king named Fu Qian tonight, and see what kind of conditions he wants. ”

After listening to everyone's introduction, the grandfather pondered for a moment and said with a cold expression, he had the posture of eliminating harm for the people.

"Let's talk about it! In the middle of the night, the old man crossed the river and went up the mountain, and killed this thief with a knife, and brought his head back to see you! Grandpa's eyes widened with anger, and he had to turn his hair upside down.

Uncle Su once described his grandfather and grandfather as heroes who were indestructible in the face of landslides.

And his grandfather is Liu Bei, who is deeply hidden and has a hidden belly, and his grandfather is like Zhang Fei, who has clear grievances and grievances.

So far, it is a pity that the two of them do not go to the world in troubled times and achieve the cause of kingship, but they are walking in this business journey.

"Captain! How many times have I told you, we businessmen value harmony in everything! There is money to open the way, there is no mountain pass river in this world! Remember, just talk to him and ask him to make a price! ”

Grandpa said impatiently, today is the first time I have seen the two of them red-faced along the way.

"Let's talk! If this king tells us to keep all the money and go back to the north, what will you do? My grandfather also did not show weakness in arguing.

"Let you do this, do you want the old man to teach you? It's the soldiers who salute him before they tied him up! After our horse team has safely crossed the river and left this land of right and wrong, we will sit down and talk to him slowly! ”

Grandpa coldly pulled out his saber, looked at the light and shadow of the setting sun for a moment, and then reinserted the scabbard.

Whenever the two of them had an argument on a major issue on the way, even Uncle Su didn't dare to quarrel rashly.

"Bird big thing! Ha ha! I'll take people across the river tonight! Take this kind of thief, that's not just a bag to pick up things! Ha ha! ”

Hearing that his grandfather asked him to go and capture the leader of the bandits, my grandfather turned his anger into joy and laughed.

Night slowly fell, my grandfather selected his two apprentices, as well as Qin Chong and me, and a group of five people, took the old fisherman's flat boat, and quietly crossed the Huaishui in two trips 5 miles away from Biyundu.

Grandpa allowed me to accompany him because of all the guys who were good at fighting, I was the only one who could swim.

After crossing the river, I encountered a critical and dangerous situation, and on the surface of the Huaishui River, I had no problem going back and forth in the water.

And Qin Chong has always been my diehard, I go there and he goes there.

In addition, he is extraordinary, calm and alert in case of trouble, and is a good swordsman.

Therefore, under Qin Chong's repeated requests, my grandfather finally agreed to replace the next senior brother and let him join our ranks.

The fisherman's boat was so small that only two people could cross the river at a time, so it wasn't until midnight that all five of us crossed the wide water.

After an hour of galloping in the night, a little faint light appeared under the dark sky, and Huaishan arrived.
