The fleet of the Huadu Hufu has not been encouraged because of the seasickness of the Jingyi Fairy, and Judge Fan asked the boatmen and divisions who have been traveling to and from this waterway for many years, and the boatmasters said that they could arrive in Jinling before the 12th of this month, and Judge Fan was relieved.

Zhou Xuan learns the tea ceremony with Jingyi Fairy every day, plays chess with Gu Liuquan, Three Idiots, and Four Idiots, drinks with Lin Heishan, and fights with Lin Hanyun, and the days on the boat are free.

The four idiots had seen Fairy Jingyi a few times on the boat, although the clothes were different, but the figure was very familiar, and it was also a veil, so they asked Zhou Xuan: "Master, why is this Miss Lin who is a Taoist aunt so similar to your maid Yunyi in Baiyun Temple?" ”

Zhou Xuan was shocked: "The fourth child has good eyesight, you can see this, come on, I'll tell you a big secret——"

The four idiots like to explore secrets, and when they heard that there was a secret, their spirits were lifted, and they asked, "What secret?" ”

Zhou Xuan pulled the four idiots aside and said in a low voice: "Fourth, I have never told anyone else this secret, you have to keep it a secret for me." ”

The four idiots said: "You should keep the secret for your master." ”

Zhou Xuan sighed and said: "I'm trapped by love, since I saw Miss Lin, her elegant demeanor can't help but make me fall in love, but she is an outsider, I am a married man, I want to be polite, so this affection has to be buried deep in my heart——"

The four idiots said: "So you found a woman with a similar figure to Miss Lin, put on a veil and pretended to be Miss Lin, and had a good time?" ”

Zhou Xuan glared and said, "Fourth, what are you talking about, it's too vulgar." It's just blasphemy against my pure emotions, this is called parasitism, do you understand? I really regret telling you such a big secret! ”

The four idiots snorted and left by themselves, Zhou Xuan smiled secretly, and the fraud in the tea fight was covered up in this way.

On the eighth day of the first month, the fleet passed 200 miles through Tongling, and the first 100 miles was Wuhu County. At dusk, it rained and snowed again. The wind and waves on the river are high. The twenty-zhang big ship was also very turbulent, a few days ago, the river was calm and the waves were slow, and the night was sailing, tonight the wind and snow were mixed, and the southeast wind was blowing, Judge Fan did not dare to brave the rain and snow to sail against the wind, and was afraid that Miss Lin would be dizzy again. He ordered the boatman to find a suitable place to anchor the boat on the riverbank, and then sail after dawn.

Zhou Xuan is painting a portrait of Fairy Jingyi, this one has been painted for two days, it can be seen that his intentions, the Fairy Jingyi in the painting has been vulgar, wearing a snow-white wedding dress, the whale bone skirt frame is round and unkempt, and it looks even more slender waist. Low-chested cleavage. The expression on his face was elegant and calm, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed joy, and his bun was changed. The drooping tips are also a little wavy, the eyebrows are green and the lips are red, and she is a beautiful bride.

Zhou Xuan explained: "This is our Australian authentic robe, and the female Taoist priest wears this kind of skirt, white represents white and flawless, and the round and fluffy skirt represents the deep and boundless heavenly way, and the sky is round and the place is round, right?" ”

Lin Hanyun exclaimed: "Wow, Brother Zhou Xuan painted his sister so beautifully, it really looks like a spotless Moon Palace fairy, hey, Zhou Xuan, when have you seen my sister's appearance?" Weird, weird, weird! "Look at this and that with big eyes, I suspect that my sister and Zhou Xuan have an ulterior secret behind her back.

The two maids of Mingfeng and Jianyue also praised and said: "The painting is so beautiful, the painting is really like!" ”

Fairy Jingyi felt strange: "Zhou Xuan drew my face?" No way, I've always been veiled in front of him. "Come over and take a look, suddenly froze, on the two-foot canvas, a beautiful woman wearing a strange and beautiful long dress, graceful posture, picturesque eyebrows, although it is not a painting very similar, but as long as you have seen her appearance, you know that it is her who paints!

"Xuan, Brother Xuan, when have you seen the appearance of a woman?" Fairy Jingyi was in a stirring mood, and she stammered a little when she spoke.

The four women in the room stared at Zhou Xuan together, a bit of a three-hall trial, and Lin Hanyun's eyes were particularly wide.

Zhou Xuan deliberately said vaguely: "I just guessed, I thought that Sister Daoyun should be like this, so I drew it like this." ”

How could Lin Hanyun believe this, and shouted: "I don't believe it, Zhou Xuan, you must have seen my sister, when did it take your sister to let you see it, or did you peek at it yourself?" ”

Zhou Xuan shouted: "I'm wronged, I really haven't seen the true face of Sister Daoyun, Sister Daoyun can testify." ”

Lin Hanyun went to ask her sister again, which made Fairy Jingyi very embarrassed, as if there was some personal relationship between her and Zhou Xuan, and she weakly defended and said: "Hanyun, my sister really didn't show Brother Xuan's true face, she has always been wearing a veil, and every time Brother Xuan comes, aren't you also there!" ”

These words are simply trying to cover up, and the more they are described, the darker and darker, and they seem to be empty-hearted.

Lin Hanyun said: "There have been several times when I haven't been there, just the two of you!" ”

The two maids of Mingfeng and Jianyue smiled bitterly, it was really hard.

Zhou Xuan didn't defend Fairy Jingyi, and smiled and watched the excitement.

Fairy Jingyi was forced by Lin Hanyun to be helpless, and suddenly took off the hat on her head, and the veil hanging at the front of the hat was of course also removed, revealing a bamboo hairpin and a blushing face.

Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, and finally saw the true face of Fairy Jingyi, it turned out that she looked not quite the same as Lin Hanyun, her face was longer than Lin Hanyun, but it was just right for her tall figure, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes were very big, this one was very similar to Lin Hanyun, with a small mouth, a pointed chin, a higher nose bridge than Lin Hanyun, and a strong three-dimensional sense of face, very delicate, very glamorous, delicate as a tender stamen,

Flowers, but not the kind of glamour that is smeared with heavy makeup, as if it is from the surface of the face -

Zhou Xuan's painting is based on Lin Hanyun when he grows up, of course, he can't paint the beauty of Jingyi Fairy in his bones, and it is hard to imagine that Jingyi Fairy, who is as elegant as a chrysanthemum, takes tea as a friend, and sends love to music, will be so beautiful!

Fairy Jingyi said a little embarrassed: "Hanyun, look at it, is this painting me, it's a bit like it, it's a bit like you, it's more like you, it's just that you are painted to grow up and be more stable, you take a closer look." ”

Lin Hanyun looked at the sketch, then at her sister, turned her head and asked Zhou Xuan: "It's not a big elephant." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll revise it immediately, and it will be like it immediately." ”

Lin Hanyun looked at Zhou Xuan's evil smile and suddenly woke up. smiled and pinched Zhou Xuan's arm, and said sharply: "Wow, you did it on purpose, sister, Zhou Xuan is too cunning, he is a trick among our sisters, he just wants to see his sister's true face!" ”

Fairy Jingyi was ashamed when she heard her sister say too unkindly. The sisters are treacherous. This makes outsiders wonder what they will think when they hear it. Hurriedly put on his hat again, straightened his veil to cover it, and said angrily: "Hanyun, don't mess around, this portrait can be regarded as if Brother Xuan painted it for you." ”

Zhou Xuandao: "Sister Hanyun asked me to draw a short skirt for her, this is specially painted for Sister Daoyun, and it is not appropriate for Sister Hanyun to draw this skirt." ”

Fairy Jingyi was silent. She had no choice but to become a female Taoist, and only she knew the pain, how could she let her sister follow her path!

Zhou Xuan picked up the brush again and said: "Please Sister Daoyun wait for a while, wait for the younger brother to retouch it, although I can't draw my sister's ice and snow posture and slender bones, I have to look a little like it-Sister Daoyun, can you take off the veil and let the younger brother take a closer look?" ”

Fairy Jingyi's face has not faded yet. Shaking his head and refusing.

Lin Hanyun persuaded: "Sister." Let Zhou Xuan take a look, I've already seen it just now, and it doesn't matter if I watch it a few more times. ”

Fairy Jingyi couldn't sit still. Twisted his waist through the side door and left.

Zhou Xuan made a contemplative look, retouching the corners of the eyes and eyebrows of the person in the painting, and Lin Hanyun on the side said: "Well, this time it's more like, Brother Zhou Xuan, it's time to paint me." ”

Zhou Xuan shouted: "You want to exhaust me to death, my hands are sore, let's draw it tomorrow." ”

Suddenly, I heard someone outside shouting: "Ah, there is a broken boat floating over, calling for help!" ”

Zhou Xuan threw away the pen and ran out.

Lin Hanyun shouted: "Wait for me, wait for me." Hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand.

The two of them ran to the aft deck, and saw a group of boats probing their brains to watch, Lin Heishan was also there, the rain stopped at this time, only the small snowflakes were still floating, and on the dim and vast river, a few torches were shining in Huanghuang, a half-tilted boat, and a group of people were sitting on the side of the ship, screaming: "Help, help!" There was also a woman's cry.

Lin Heishan roared: "Hurry up and find a way to save people!" ”

The half-sunken ship went down the river and brushed past the side of the warship in Fenghua Duhufu, and several people grabbed the ropes thrown by the sailors and were dragged onto the boat to be rescued.

Lin Heishan shouted: "Use the rope hook to drag this boat." ”

Dozens of boats gathered on the starboard side of the stern, each holding a five-clawed iron hook connected to a thick and tough rope ten feet long, which was originally used for navigation and rescue.

The wreck gradually drifted closer, and Lin Heishan shouted: "Shake the hook!" ”

Huo Huo sounded, dozens of five-clawed iron hooks popped out like strange snakes, and about twenty ropes were quickly straightened, which was hooking the wreck, and the other end of the rope was tied to the hole in the side of the ship, which was completely able to eat.

Zhou Xuan only felt that the big ship trembled slightly, and then looked at the wreck, which had stopped drifting.

Dozens of boats worked together to slowly pull the wreck closer, and four long wooden ladders went down, asking, "Can you climb up?" ”

The people on the sunken ship cried out and thanked them, saying, "I can climb, I can climb!" 66 And he continued to climb up, and there were nineteen men, plus six men rescued from the side of the warship, a total of twenty-five, and as soon as they got on the boat, they fell down on their knees, and thanked them for saving their lives.

Judge Fan also came out at this time and asked who they were? Why capsized?

A black man with a full body * said: "The villains are small salt merchants in Guangling, in order to make a little profit, they sent a boat of salt to the mouth of the lake a year ago, and returned the day before yesterday, homesick, and the rain and snow did not stop the boat, accidentally hit the rocks protruding from the riverside, if it were not for the adults to rescue, we would be buried in the belly of the fish." ”

Zhou Xuan felt that this group of people was a little weird, not like what they should be for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, a few of them were wailing and looking around, and just now they obviously heard the cry of a woman, but at this time they didn't see any women, they were all strong men, and immediately shouted: "Don't move where you are, search your body first." ”

The black man was stunned: "We are people in distress, there is no silver tael on us, the grace of saving lives, thank you later." ”

Zhou Xuan said loudly: "Brother Montenegro, be careful, let the sergeant search them to see if they have any weapons on them." ”

Lin Heishan has always obeyed Zhou Xuanzhizhi, and immediately ordered the sergeant to search for these people's bodies.

Lin Hanyun asked Zhou Xuan in surprise: "Are these people all bad people?" ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Whether it's a bad person or not, just search if they have weapons on them, and you'd rather search for a thousand by mistake than let go of one." ”

There were also fifty sergeants on the big ship, and twenty men came at this time. Was

The big black man shouted: "The villains are carrying some swords on their bodies, and they go out to do business, who doesn't bring a knife, otherwise what if they encounter a water thief?" ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "Then do you think that these people of us are like water thieves?" ”

The big black man sneered and said, "This lord is joking, how can you be water thieves!" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, please hand over your weapons first." ”

The big black man turned his head to look at his accomplices, and suddenly burst into a roar: "Kill!" The nineteen men stood up in unison and drew their swords from their bosoms. Kill the soldiers of Fenghua who surrounded them. Sergeant Fenghua was caught off guard. Five or six were cut down when they landed.

The big black man kicked his legs and jumped over the heads of the two sergeants, like a big black eagle swooping down on Lin Hanyun, who was standing beside Zhou Xuan.

Lin Hanyun was stunned, and let out a scream that shocked her eardrums, but she didn't know how to hide, Zhou Xuan, who was beside her, grabbed her waist and rolled on the spot. Dodging the black man's attack, three sergeants immediately drew their swords and killed the black man.

The big black man was so powerful, he had a five-inch short knife in his hand, flying up and down, killing the three sergeants in the blink of an eye, chasing after Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun, and seeing that he was about to catch up, he suddenly took a kick in the chest. Teng Teng Teng took three steps back. Before he could see where the kick came from, he was hit the chin and fell to the ground. The teeth gritted the tip of the tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The three idiots and the four idiots stopped in front of Zhou Xuan, and the two of them were still studying the Zhenlong chess game just now, and they hurried over when they heard the sound of slashing.

Over there, Lin Heishan was furious, but he saved a group of robbers with good intentions and efforts, and cut down five thieves one after another with a simple knife, and the soldiers of the Fenghua Army also fought hard to kill four thieves, and the rest of the thieves saw that the situation was not good, and jumped over the railing of the boat into the icy river.

Lin Heishan shouted: "The dog thief escaped quickly, and he didn't catch a single live mouth!" ”

The four idiots stepped on the back of the black man's neck and said, "There is a half-life living mouth here." ”

Suddenly, I heard a loud exclamation from the side of the warship, and the fire rose, as if the sails of the ship were burning, and it must have been set on fire by the six thieves who had just rescued them.

Lin Heishan asked loudly: "General Qi, have the thieves been caught?" ”

Someone on the other side of the ship replied, "Killed four and escaped two." ”

Lin Heishan shouted: "Hurry up and put out the fire." ”

General Na Qi shouted: "Don't worry, the garrison will be able to extinguish it soon, fortunately it is rain and snow, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome, the thieves used extremely flammable fish oil." ”

Judge Fan and Lin Heishan looked at it for a while, and saw that the fire on the side of the warship was gradually extinguished, so they were relieved.

Lin Heishan said angrily: "Where did this dog thief come from!" He walked towards the big black man who was stepping on him, kicked him in the head, kicked him in the ear, and immediately blood flowed out of the ear hole.

"Say, who are you?" I asked a few times, but I didn't see a sound, thinking that this person was strong and unyielding, so I kicked again, and with a "click", my neck was broken.

Zhou Xuan said: "Brother Montenegro is too strong, and he kicked him to death, but I just heard this big black man shout, if you are a ghost, you have to avenge the brothers on the lake - Lord Fan, Brother Montenegro, what does it mean to avenge the brothers on the lake?" ”

Lin Heishan and Judge Fan glanced at each other, and their hearts were clear, Lin Heishan said, "Could it be that the remnants of Poyang Lake are the water thieves who have come to take revenge?" ”

Zhou Xuan pointed to the corpse of the black man and said, "This thief came to Chong Lin Hanyun, and he just wanted to hold her." ”

Judge Fan ordered the sergeant to inspect the body of the big black man to see if there was anything to show his identity, but the big black man had nothing on his body except a knife.

****************************

In a river bay ten miles in front of the fleet of Fenghua Duhufu, Li Gongzi, who deceived Yang Xiaofeng into getting on the boat, was standing in the bow with Mr. Du and Mr. Gan.

Seeing the fire rising in the distance in the dark night, Li Gongzi smiled and said: "The big black fish has succeeded, Mr. Gan's clever plan is unpredictable, when we arrive, there will be a conflict, and the two young ladies of the Lin family will be saved, how can Lin not be grateful to me, maybe he will marry the two daughters to me together, haha, wonderful, wonderful." ”

The half-old Confucian smiled and said: "Master Gongzi, my subordinates heard that Miss Lin has a red face and a widow, and now she is a female Taoist priest, and the prince still dares to marry?" ”

That Li Gongzi said awe-inspiringly: "My life is up to me, not to the sky, what I want to do is against the heavens and the earth, what are you afraid of!" ”

At this time, Mr. Hawkeye Du on the side said in a deep voice: "Son, the fire has been extinguished, this is wrong, it should burn for a while!" ”

Mr. Gan frowned and said, "Could it be that the big black fish has failed?" "The Boatmaster is on hold.

Not long after, I suddenly heard someone shouting on the river: "Mr. Gan, help!" ”

Mr. Gan asked urgently, "What's the matter?" Missed? ”

The people on the river were so cold that their teeth were fighting, and they said, "As soon as you get on the boat, you will be recognized!" ”

Li Gongzi sighed lightly and pouted at Mr. Du.

The man surnamed Du Di Ge took a bow, squinted his eyes, and shot an arrow to extinguish the voice of shouting for help, and his faint green eyes searched the river, and five arrows shot the six people who jumped into the water to escape one by one.
