The boat boss and others were messing around in the Yellow River, relying on carrying passengers to make a living on the surface, and secretly doing some businessless business, when they saw Ma Tiantian's generous move, more than a dozen gold coins as leisure, and secretly had evil intentions in their hearts.

The big ship sailed at night, Ma Tiantian couldn't stay up, went to the cabin and fell asleep with his clothes closed, Biqiu Jian leaned on the wooden plank of the cabin, held the long sword in his arms, and slept soundly with his eyes closed.

The captain glanced at his brother and whispered, "Fourth, stabilize the rudder." ”

The fourth child understood, and the three captains of the boat took out their bright broadswords from under the wooden plank, and quietly approached Biqiu Jian. The three of them quickly surrounded Biqiu Jian, the big knife in the hand of the boat boss was raised, and he slashed down, who knew that Biqiu Jian seemed to turn over at random in his sleep, his body was crooked, his left shoulder leaned on the plank, and the boat boss slashed in the air. When I looked at Biqiu Jian again, I still snored non-stop.

The three of them glanced at each other, and the three big knives beckoned to Biqiu Jian at the same time, Biqiu Jian slammed his left shoulder, and his body slipped out of the gap between the three of them sideways, lying on his back on the plank.

Only then did the three of the boat bosses know that they had encountered a hard stubble, and they turned around and wanted to cut at Biqiu Jian, when the door of the cabin creaked open, and Ma Tiantian rubbed his eyes and said, "What are you doing?" No, in the middle of the night..."Ma Tiantian saw that the three boatmen were holding bright steel knives, and he stopped talking.

The boat boss pounced on Ma Tiantian, but his body was still in the air, and he had a kick on his little stomach, and when he boarded, he pounced forward and turned into retreat, and the boat boss's body smashed towards the two brothers uncontrollably. Where did the second and third children think that their boss still has such ability, their brains reacted, and the three of them had already bumped into each other.

The second child said loudly: "Big brother, you are so fast, when did you practice this kind of kung fu?" ”

The third child said: "The matter of the eldest brother, do you want to say that it can't be done with you?" Tsk, the eldest brother's skills are enough to be invincible. ”

The boss scolded: "Two fools, help me up." ”

The three of them got up in embarrassment, and saw Biqiu Jian holding a long sword and looking at them with a smile. The fourth child was at the helm, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked loudly: "Big brother, have you succeeded?" ”

The boss said angrily: "This hero, we offended your old man with no eyes." ”

Biqiu Jian smiled: "The kid is just over twenty years old, but he is not an old man. ”

The eldest said: "Our brothers admit it, but everything is my opinion, and it has nothing to do with the three brothers, please raise your noble hand and let the three of them go, I am willing to apologize for my own crimes." ”

Biqiu Jian said: "I can't see it, you are quite righteous, okay, for the sake of your righteousness, I will spare you from dying, but you can't escape the crime." As soon as the words fell, Biqiujian's body shook, and each of the three boatmen received a real slap in the face.

With this palm, half of the faces of the three of them immediately swollen, their teeth loosened, and blood flowed out of their mouths dripping from the corners of their mouths. The boss of the boat reacted quite quickly, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for the grace of the hero not to kill." ”

Biqiu Jian said: "Do you know who this girl is? ”

The three of them shook their heads blankly, and said in a frugal voice: "This is the person the prince wants today, how many of you are really blind, and you dare to beat the idea of the crown princess?" ”

The captain's regretful intestines were blue, and he raised his hand and crackled at the other half of his face.

The fourth elder said loudly: "Big brother, don't kill them, just throw them into the river, and leave a whole corpse, which can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue." ”

The boss scolded: "Fourth, shut up Lao Tzu." It's a pity that although the momentum is sufficient, the sound is as hoarse as a broken gong.

Biqiu Jian said: "Okay, don't slap your mouth anymore. From now on, sail well, and when you get to the place, you will be indispensable. If you have a bad heart, I'm afraid you will be connected to the nine clans. ”

The boat boss kowtowed like pounding garlic, "The villain doesn't dare anymore." ”

Biqiu Jian had to reprimand a few more words, and suddenly saw more than a dozen big boats in front of him, brightly lit, flying down the stream, knowing that it was strange, and asked the old boat avenue: "The big ship in front of you, driving at night, do you know the way to come?" ”

The boat boss looked at it for a long time and said, "It's too far away to see clearly." ”

Biqiu Jian said: "You sail together, let's catch up and see what is going on." ”

The boss of the boat immediately agreed, and the four of them divided their labor, and the speed of the big ship immediately became much faster. Biqiu Jian said to Ma Tiantian: "The girl should go back to the cabin to rest for the time being." ”

Ma Tiantian said: "Could it be that there are two bad guys in front of you?" ”

Biqiu Jian said: "The girl is in front of them, it's better to avoid it." When you get closer, you will know the details. ”

Ma Tiantian saw that what Biqiu Jian said was reasonable, so she had to return to the cabin, and she couldn't sleep, hugging the quilt and staring blankly at the river outside the window. The river is yellow, and under the light, wave after wave, lapping against the side of the boat, the night breeze is cool, coming through the window, and there is no end to it.

There were few people in the big boat, and the four boatmen were in good control and quickly caught up with the big ship in front. Biqiu Jian came to the boat boss and asked in a low voice, "Can you see it?" ”

The boat boss said: "Looking at the situation, it seems to be the person of the black boss on the Buban Ridge." ”

"What's the way this black boss came from?"

"This person has a hooked nose and deep eyes, not like a Han person, more than ten years ago, gathered a group of people, on this mountain ridge to rob the house, and then the government encircled and suppressed several times, Wu Boss's men suffered heavy losses, I heard that it gradually disappeared, I don't know why it came out again tonight?"

Biqiu Jian's mind turned sharply, and he thought for a moment and said, "Is there a way to cross the big ship in front?" ”

The boat boss smiled bitterly: "It's really difficult to see not far at night, and surpass them." ”

Biqiu Jian said: "The four of you take turns to rest, and tomorrow morning, try every means to get past them and rush to the front." ”

At dawn the next day, the captain raised the sails, the second took the helm, and with the help of the wind, the ship sailed downstream. Biqiu Jian stood on the bow of the boat, and saw more than a dozen large boats, only a few people who looked like boatmen were manipulating, and the draft of the big boat was very deep, and there must have been a lot of people and materials on board. After watching for a long time, without a clue, his own ship, in a few breaths, crossed the fleet.

Yuan Xiang, Xu Fu, and Boss Wu, standing on the largest boat, a man dressed like Huazi, said respectfully: "Bosses, there is news from the boss of Wangwu Mountain in front of me, two days ago, the idea was on the boat in Xiaopingjin, and it is estimated that it has now passed the Hucheng Pavilion. ”

The three of them were stunned, they didn't expect the other party to be so fast, Yuan Xiang looked at Xu Fu, hoping that this dog-headed military advisor could come up with an idea, Xu Fu thought about it and said: "Hucheng Pavilion is more than three hundred miles east of Luoyang, if the idea is to get off the boat in Puyang, we won't be able to catch up." In this way, this brother will work hard, and I bother you to tell the judge boss, let them work day and night, fall behind the idea, and report back quickly as soon as there is any news. On our side, let the brothers work harder, and arrange for people to paddle by hand on both sides of the big boat, and speed up, hoping to catch up with them. “

A day later, Biqiu Jian saw a fleet of ships in front of him, about seven or eight large boats, and the two sides of the big boat were full of sailors, rowing hard one by one, and the big boat went smoothly and very fast.

The boss of the boat saw that there were no sails on the other party's boat, and without waiting for Biqiu Jian to ask, he said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, we have cloth sails hanging on the ship, and the load is small, so it is not a problem to surpass them." ”

"If you surpass them," said Biqiujian, "you can hire a few more people on the shore, because you will be too tired." ”

The boat boss said, "Thank you for your concern. Our brothers are all men who beg for a life on the water, and they don't sleep for days and nights, and they are also idle. ”

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Biqiu Jian stopped talking.

Liu Zhen and the others rested overnight in Baima and began to set off, expecting to stop at the pavilion in the evening. Located in the territory of Fan County, it was originally just a pavilion's station, but later the Yellow River trade ships increased and the Pavilion slowly became a cargo distribution center and material supply center.

The prosperity of the pavilion also led to the development of Fan County, which is adjacent to Dongping Kingdom. Dongping Kingdom is Liu Ze's hometown, and the policy of the Han Dynasty is not tilted, and Zhong Yu, the son of Zhong Xuan, serves as the prime minister. Everyone will ask, isn't Zhong Hui Zhong Xuan's son? It's just that Zhong Hui hasn't been born at this time.

Zhong Yu's ability is still relatively prominent, Dongping's economic foundation is already good, and Zhong Yu encourages business, Dongping Burning Knife has already been sold all over the world and has become the main brand.

I digress. Yuan Xiang, Xu Fu, and Wu Boss urged the fleet, and in the evening they arrived at Hucheng Pavilion, made a little supply, set off overnight, and finally met with the judge boss of Wangwushan in the middle of the night. The judge told the three of them that the idea had arrived at the Fan County Pavilion

Xu Fu said: "Tomorrow at dawn, we can rush to Puyang. Boss Yuan, when the time comes, inform the brothers who are on the shore to come to the ship. We assigned some manpower to monitor the idea, and the rest of the manpower went to the front ferry in advance to ambush. ”

Yuan Xiang muttered, "Brother Xu Fu, didn't you estimate that the idea would get off the boat in Puyang and go north?" Now that it seems that they have lost a move, I don't know what they will do next? ”

Xu Fu said: "The Puyang ferry port is wide, and the ideas are passing by without stopping, and we can only take one step at a time. ”

The judge said, "In my opinion, the idea may be disembarked in these three places. ”

Yuan Xiang said: "Brother Juan quickly say it, everyone will take a closer look." ”

The judge stroked his goatee, stretched out his fingers in turn and said: "One is Dongwuyang, Dongwuyang has a road connecting Yuancheng and Guantao, and it leads directly to Xindu, the capital of Anpingguo; the second Chiping, Chiping through Liaocheng, into the Qinghe capital Ganling; The third Gaotang is also, Gaotang has a road connected with Xindu, and the land route is closer. ”

Yuan Xiang asked, "Where does the judge think the idea is most likely to get off the boat?" ”

Without waiting for the judge boss to speak, Xu Fu sneered: "There is another place, the judge boss missed the calculation." ”

Everyone let out an "oh", and Yuan Xiang said, "Not just where? ”

Xu Fu said: "Plains also. There is a road leading directly to Linzi in Qingzhou from the capital, and the road passes through the plain, and the possibility of getting off the boat in the plain is great. ”

The judge muttered: "Xu Fu, you just thought of it after being instructed by Lao Tzu, right?" Which bastard just said to take one step at a time. ”

Xu Fu's face did not change, and he grinned: "This is exactly what makes me smart. ”

Yuan Xiang was angry when he saw the old judge, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xu Fu, do you think you can be sure?" ”

Xu Fu said: "You can't be wrong. The avenue leading from the capital to the states and states is modeled after the gallop mode of the Qin Shi Huang era, which is smooth and wide, and if you want to rush to the capital quickly, the gallop road is the best choice. ”
