Chapter 80: Sailing
The next day, Ximen Qing got up to say goodbye, where are the Huo family brothers willing to let go, they will have to feast Ximen Qing for a few days, Ximen Qing said: "It's not a brother I don't want to live for a long time, I really have business to do, I can't stay for a long time, and I go to Qinghe County, it's only half a moon, when I come back, it's not too late to eat, and then I will have a good time with your brothers."

The Huo family brothers saw that Ximen Qing was resolute, and they also knew that he had an errand to do, so it was not good to stay, so they only said: "Since this is the case, then my brother and my brother will go together, and there will be a good person on the way." ”
"Your two brothers still have business to deal with here, how can they follow me on the road, and I have Jiao Ting and Jisheng brothers by my side to support me, and I am not afraid of any thieves to harm me."
Huo Wen said with a smile: "Let's not say that there are such heroes around my brother, just with my brother's name, who dares to provoke in this green forest?" ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, Ximen Qing was humble again and again, and when he resigned, the Huo family brothers took out one hundred taels of silver and gave them to Ximen Qing, and fifty taels to Wang Lun. "You know I'm not short of goods, so why bother?"
"Although my brother is not short of gold and silver, this is also my brother's heart, and I ask my brother to accept it, when I go out, it is inevitable that there will be unsatisfactory times, and my brother is a luxurious person, and if you want to meet the unwilling, you will definitely have to relieve it."
Ximen Qing saw that the two of them said that the love was sincere, and it was not easy to refuse, so he asked Juan to be tied in the package, and the Huo family brothers sent Ximen Qing directly to the ferry, and saw him get on the ferry, so he turned around, and before leaving, Ximen Qing called Wang Lun and gave him fifty taels of silver.
Where is Wang Lun willing to accept "Brother Simon has not been able to repay his great kindness before, how can he accept your money now?" The Huo family brothers have already sent me fifty taels when they see your affection, which is enough for me to spend on the road. ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "I hit it off with Brother Wang Lun at first sight, at this time when we are leaving, what is a little treasure worth?" If you go to Liangshanbo and create a foundation, it will inevitably cost a lot, and I will give you a mere fifty taels here, just a thought, don't retreat. ”
Wang Lun listened to what Ximenqing said reasonably, and after pretending to shirk it a few times, he put it in his arms. "Thank you so much for the friendship of Brother Simon, I will be rewarded in a while."
Simon bowed and said, "This is nothing? Just remember that since you have been on Liangshan, you must recruit heroes and recruit heroes from all over the world, so that Liangshan Shuibo can establish a name, and at that time, send someone to send a letter to me, so that I can feel at ease. ”
Seeing him so affectionate and friendly, Rao was full of doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but be moved by Ximenqing, and nodded yes: "It will definitely live up to expectations." ”
Ximenqing called Du Qian again, and also sent fifty taels of silver and instructed: "I know that Brother Du Qian is also going to Liangshan to settle the grass, you are a righteous person, stay in Liangshanbo, assist him with peace of mind, and don't worry about a leader to sit." ”
Du Qian didn't expect that he was such a trivial person, not only got fifty taels of silver, but also got Ximen Qing's 'righteousness' praise, he already revered and added to Ximen Qing, and knelt on the ground, "I don't want a character like me, I can also be taken care of by Brother Ximen, the villain is worth dying immediately, Brother Ximen just rest assured, I will go to Liangshan, I will definitely try my best to assist Brother Wang Lun, and create a great career." ”
Ximenqing patted him on the shoulder, helped him up, and said with a smile: "I'm relieved if you say this, but when you develop in the future, you have to tell me, so that I can rejoice for you." ”
Du Qian only felt a warm current rising in his heart, his eyes were moist, and he seemed to have a thousand words in his mouth without waiting to say it, he only nodded fiercely, who is he? A little person like an ant, no one takes care of him much on weekdays, and now Ximenqing is a good man like him, if he wants to rejoice for him, how can he not dare to move? If it weren't for the fact that there was no shortage of servants around Ximenqing to follow, he would go to Liangshan with Wang Lun, and at this time he would definitely fall under Ximenqing's command and die for him.
Seeing him like this, Ximen Qing nodded secretly, Du Qian is a straightforward man, even if Wang Lun is ungrateful and doesn't sell my face in the future, with him here, some things are easy to deal with.
……………………
After saying goodbye to Wang Lun, Ximen Qing and his party of eight people boarded the cruise ship, and the boat boss came over with a flattering face, singing a big song, and before he could speak, Ju An first said: "Are you in a hurry to wait?" It's going to leave in half an hour, and we don't want to wait a day, but we still have to sleep in that cabin? ”
Ximen Qing glared at him and said, "Don't be rude." “
The boss of the boat was embarrassed by what Ju'an said, smiled, and didn't dare to fight back, and said, "I don't know how many of them are friends of the Huo family's elder brother, before I had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, forgive my sins." ”
Ju An wanted to ridicule him a few words, but he was stopped by Ximenqing, but he was still in his heart, and he was really a villain.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, we are bothering, I don't know where the cabin of how many people I am waiting for is?"
The captain hurriedly said: "It has been arranged, but the room on the top floor has been occupied, so I can only aggrieved a few errand officials to rest on the second floor." This guy is afraid that Ximenqing will say that he is not good in front of the Huo family brothers, and he explained: "It's not that the villain doesn't arrange the top floor, but there are really family members of the official eunuch here, and the villain ...... The villain was helpless. ”
"That's it, the second floor is the second floor, and when you go out, you don't pay attention to anything? I don't know where to get off the ferry from Qinghe County from now on. ”
"Returning to the officials, from then on, take the boat, about two days to Gaotang Prefecture to get off the boat, along the official road to the north, straight up, to go fast, three or five days to arrive."
Ximenqing nodded, so calculated, as long as there is nothing on the way, it will only be five or six days to Qinghe County, and when he comes back, he will take a boat to the Daimyo's Mansion again, and visit the jade unicorn Lu Junyi who is not right with the gun and stick, the jade unicorn Lu Junyi who is unique, the witty Yan Qingyan Xiaoyi, and the famous wise man in the Water Margin, Xu Guanzhong. Even if you can't take it under your command, it's good to get acquainted and leave a good fate.
It was noon, and although the sun was shining directly, a cool breeze was blowing on the river, which also made people's hearts feel cold.
The cable sampan had been put away, and the captain of the boat took a dozen of his fellow boatmen to the bow of the boat, bowed solemnly three times, took out ten copper coins, threw them into the river one by one, and then poured some of the tributes that had been prepared into the river. This is the rule before leaving the ship, and it is used to honor the god of water and pray for the blessing of the god of water on the way.
"It's sailing!" A trumpet sounded, and the boat moved slowly.
Due to the flow of water, the passenger ship quickly left the dock and sailed towards Nagaotang Prefecture in the cold wind.
The boat left for less than half an hour, and a boatman brought some vegetables, vegetables, fish and meat, "A few errand officers, this is what my master specially asked the cook to prepare, can you still import it?" Especially this fresh fish soup, it is a must, not a villain's boast, you will definitely not be able to eat such a delicious fresh fish soup elsewhere. ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "When I didn't get on the boat, I heard Brother Guo Sheng talk about it. Summoned everyone to eat together, it was really delicious, the fish was tender and thornless, and it melted in the mouth, Fu Ping praised: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the name, but I don't know how beautiful the cook is." ”
When the boatman heard this, his face changed, and he only put down the fruits, vegetables, fish and meat, and hurriedly retreated.
