Located in Tanzhou, south of the middle section of the Yangtze River, there is a river that can directly reach Guizhou in Guangnan, which is called Xiangshui, or Xiangjiang River. Many officials and gentlemen who went to Baihua Valley for medical treatment would go south to Guizhou from the Tanzhou passenger ship.

At this time, on the Xiangjiang River, a behemoth belonging to the Wujia family in Guizhou was moored by the river, waiting for guests.

The passenger ship is named the Blue Lion, with two floors, and when viewed from above, it looks like a rectangular courtyard. The surface of the hull is carved with sandalwood reflecting the sun, painting the flying clouds, and the pride is extreme. There are nearly 100 cabins, in addition to the cabin, the dining room, the bath room, the toilet room, etc., which can be called the Dragon Palace on the water.

Above the second floor of the Greylion ship, it was already overcrowded, and people from all walks of life were walking through the hall in the center of the ship with signs, looking for their own cabins.

As a passenger ship, like the private tour of the family, a hall will be opened in the center of the cabin, like a restaurant, tables and chairs will be placed for the guests to gather for fun, so that the passenger ship is lively, and the owner will also call some female dancers or entertainers to perform some singing and dancing talents and tricks in the hall.

At this time, in the hall, there were several brightly dressed women who were adjusting the strings and singing clearly, ready to perform after the boat sailed later.

In the corner of the hall, two women were already sitting on the benches, among which the tall woman looked left and right, as if watching when the ship would start, and the other woman sat quietly, as if everyone was beautiful.

The men who passed by occasionally stopped to take a few more glances at the two beautiful-looking sisters. However, the taller of the two women would often open his eyes wide and glare at the man who stopped to watch viciously, so that the man would walk away.

These two sisters are the Ye family sisters from Jiangning, Ye Qinghe and Ye Qingzhu. Ye Qingzhu was shot in the right shoulder by an assassin on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but after treatment, he still fell ill, and his right arm often failed to lift his strength. So Ye Qinghe is going to take her sister to Baihua Valley for treatment, their Emei faction and Baihua Valley have some karma, and they should help out.

Because of the dusty appearance of the two women, the tables and chairs around them were almost full, and because of the rude appearance of her sister Qinghe, no one dared to share the table with them.

After a long time, the lively people slowly filled the benches in the hall, and the boat began to sail in time. Then a few gongs and drums sounded, and everyone in the boat slowly fell silent, waiting for the performance of the female dancers in the center of the ship's hall.

The sound of the piano gradually sounded, filling the entire hall, and after the aftermath of the beam, the song reached the undulation, and the female singer's gentle singing voice sang in due time: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky............ Dance to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world............ I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles............"

The tone is soft and refreshing.

The song is Su Dongpo's water tune, but at this time, it has been some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is both appropriate and uneventful.

Whether it is piano music or singing skills, in the eyes of Ye Qingzhu, who has liked music since childhood, he is not smart. But most of the people on board are happy about it. Many people listen to not how high and beautiful the music is, but a quiet and leisurely feeling, the feeling of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old lady stroking the piano and singing for herself.

Singing a song and starting a song. And they began to whisper. Most of the songs that you can listen to carefully are the first songs, and then you will inevitably be distracted by other things.

This kind of atmosphere of listening to and watching performances while talking small is the reason why most people are willing to pay more money to take a big passenger ship.

Ye Qinghe, who was listening to the song, suddenly saw a rickety figure walking in the aisle, looking less than thirty years old, but he was leaning on his body and holding a "long stick" wrapped around the top.

The man walked up to Ye Qinghe with a stick and asked, "There are no free tables and chairs around, can you sit at the same table with the girl, and you can ensure that you have no offense with the girl." ”

The man's voice was low and powerful, but the man was leaning and staggering.

The smart and clever Ye Qinghe knew that there must be a place around, but those people didn't want to accept him, as a master of entering the room, she also saw that the man looked like after the meridians were broken, and saw that he was a little pitiful, so she nodded and agreed.

Seeing her nodding, the man endured the discomfort, arched his hand a little tremblingly, thanked him, put the long stick in his hand under the bench, and slowly sat down on the chair, but he was able to sit firmly with both hands on the table.

After seeing the man sit down, the boy in a brocade robe at the next table stood up suddenly, walked in front of Ye Qinghe, and said with a smile on his face: "This girl, there is no place for me around, can I also use the same table with you?" ”

A few people at the same table as Brother Gongzi laughed and said, "Yes, Yang Er, you are not allowed to come back, otherwise it will be too cold." ”

Ye Qinghe glanced at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to sit, just sit." ”

The son-in-law, who was called Yang Lao'er, smiled, waved his sleeves with a flick of his sleeves, and stepped into the chair opposite Ye Qinghe, ready to open his mouth to report his "prominent" home.

Before she could say anything, she saw Ye Qinghe slap the table, and the chopsticks in the bamboo basket on the table flew up, and then she pushed the chopsticks with one palm, and the chopsticks flew straight towards him.

Yang Laoer, who is not skilled in martial arts, was pointed on his forehead with chopsticks, fell directly from the chair, and fell to the ground with a "poof".

At the same time, the man who fell next to him was holding the table, the man didn't have much strength, and he could only sit firmly by holding on to the table, Ye Qinghe's slap directly shook him out of his hand, and he fell down in the same way almost at the same time as Liu Laoer.

The uninformed spectators thought that the woman was proud of her martial arts, and she solved the two men who came to harass her with one move.

Liu Lao Er rolled over and got up, glanced at Ye Qinghe, and ran back to the previous table in a gloomy manner, his companions saw that Ye Qinghe was capable, and they no longer laughed.

And the man who suffered from the unjustified disaster lay on his back on the ground, trying to get up with his hands on the ground, but he couldn't use his strength, like a turtle on his back, and couldn't turn over.

Seeing the man's struggle, Ye Qinghe felt quite guilty, walked over and helped him up, and apologized at the same time: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to ......"

With Ye Qinghe's support, the man sat on the chair again, listened to Ye Qinghe's words, and said lightly: "The girl didn't do it on purpose, don't blame yourself." ”

Although the man is in poor health, his speech and demeanor can also reveal a tenacious temperament, which makes Ye Qinghe think a lot of highly of him.

After sitting back in his seat, Ye Qinghe asked, "My name is Ye Qinghe, can you tell me your story?" ”

The man squinted at her and said, "The next surname is Liu Mingjingsheng, a person from Jiangning Mansion, who met a thief seeking revenge outside Xuzhou City a few days ago. ”

Ye Qinghe nodded and asked softly, "Then do you have anything to do with the Hundred Flowers Valley?" ”

Liu Jingsheng shook his head slightly.

Ye Qinghe was puzzled: "Then if you go like this, according to their rules, when will you be healed?" ”

Liu Jingsheng said in a deep voice: "As long as I, Liu Jingsheng, still have a breath, I can keep waiting." ”

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Ye Qinghe's heart softened a little and said, "I happen to be going to take my sister to Baihua Valley to treat her injuries, so I'll take you by the way." I'm also a disciple of the Emei Sect, so I should be able to let them treat my sister and you in advance. ”

Hearing this, Liu Jingsheng straightened his face and said loudly: "If this is the case, then Liu will always remember the kindness of the heroine, and if he asks for something in the future, the mission will be achieved." ”

Ye Qinghe shook his head: "No need, just help you by the way." ”

Liu Jingsheng didn't say anything more when he heard this.

The passenger ship continued to move south in the direction of Hengzhou, and the female singer in the center of the hall had retreated, and only the voices of the passengers in the hall were left.

After seeing Ye Qinghe's ability before, no one dared to come up to talk to him for the time being.

At the same time, on the lotus water near Jinxiang County, Jeju, the Sujialou boat was heading north, preparing to enter the Gwangje River and go straight to Bianliang.

Since learning that Xu Ziling stole the maid Yue'er's weaving, Su Wan's perception of him has been low to the bottom, although Ming Xia explained to her that he was poisoned by some kind of poison and would be greedy for money involuntarily, Ming Xia said it truthfully, she would be suspicious, so she did not expose Xu Ziling's theft.

Later, she also asked Uncle Fang and others about the statement of this Gu poison, and Uncle Fang said that it was true, but although Miao Jiang's Gu poison technique was famous, there were very few people in the Seven Colored Gu Poison, and they only knew its name, but how toxic it was, and the symptoms of poison were unknown.

So Su Wan thought that the poisoning was just made up by Xu Ziling in order to make money, but Ming Xia was convinced, and pulled her to secretly look at the cyan mark on Xu Ziling's neck, but she only thought it was a birthmark.

However, after observing in recent days, Su Wan can see that Xu Ziling really likes Mingxia. In order to take care of Ming Xia's feelings, he deliberately kept a distance from Wang Luoyan, which was the only thing that made her happy, so he let Ming Xia fall into him. Although Xu Ziling is a scumbag, as long as he can be serious and good to Ming Xia, it is enough.

Suddenly, the boat stopped, and there was a very noisy sound outside, and it seemed that there were many people roaring.

After a while, the dignified old five walked in and said to Su Wan: "Miss, a group of water bandits came outside, surrounded us with boats, and it seems that they are from Liangshanbo, and they are clamoring for us to get out, and this boat belongs to them." ”

Su Wan frowned tightly and said angrily: "How does the Jeju prefect manage this matter, the water bandits can become such a climate, and dare to openly block the river and plunder, you can mediate with them to see if you can give some silver." ”

Lao Wu looked embarrassed and said, "Uncle Fang said the same thing to them, but they want the young lady to go out to discuss with them in person." ”

"Humph! I've seen with my own eyes how arrogant these thieves are! Su Wan snorted coldly, stood up, and walked out of the cabin.

"Miss Su, I have some grievances with Liang Shan, let me go with you." But it was Xu Ziling who stood up.

Su Wan glanced back at him, didn't speak, and continued to walk out.

Xu Ziling, who was deflated, had long been accustomed to Su Wan's indifference to him, and he didn't care.

Seeing that Ming Xia next to her was full of worry, Xu Ziling gently shook her hand to put her mind at ease, and then followed Chixiao out.
