More than forty iron riders, along the river, almost chasing the boat down the water, whistling at the maiden on the boat, let out a flirtatious laugh.

The two brothers and sisters in the cabin were also alarmed, got up and went out of the cabin, and those people saw that there was one more girl on the boat, and they laughed unscrupulously. shouted one after another: "Two little ladies, why don't you come to the shore and have a good time with the masters?" "Haha, that kid you followed, a scholar, right? No~~""That's it, let the masters tell you what it means to be cool." "Angry, angry, even angry so beautiful, where do you sell it?" Tell the master, and the master will patronize it. ”……

Listening to these people's foul language, Chun Jianli was stunned, and Ning Xiaomeng was also secretly annoyed. Seeing their expressions, those people not only did not retreat, but laughed even more happily, if it wasn't for them in the middle of the river, they were on the bank, I am afraid that they would have rushed to rob people. Rao is so, those filthy words, but with the sound of the rolling horses' hooves, they keep coming.

Chun Jianli said angrily: "Little dream, you come rowing!" Giving up the position of the paddle to Ning Xiaomeng, he bent down on the boat and picked up the short bow, and shot an arrow at those people on the shore. Who knew that the arrow was halfway through, and the river wind blew, and immediately it blew crookedly.

Those people laughed even more, and the voice of the person riding at the front was loud: "Little lady, come again, let the master see your ability, haha, the bow is used well, I don't know the ...... on the bed."

With another string sound, the arrow in the girl's hand shot again, but the result was still crooked. Or, in fact, she herself knew that it was impossible to shoot the other party when both sides were moving fast and the wind was strong in the early morning, but she was so annoyed that she couldn't help but shoot another arrow.

It was at this time that the young man on the boat shook it, and the fire soul in his body was silent, and he left his body in an instant, and at that moment almost at the snap of his fingers, the arrow that was flying in the air and was already weak, and there seemed to be a red light flashing at the tail of the feather, and suddenly changed direction and increased his speed.

Before the big man at the head could say the word "husband", the arrow flashed and suddenly penetrated into his mouth, and the whole person fell off the horse. The men behind him immediately became confused, and with the panicked neighing of horses, they all reined in the horses and dismounted to rescue them.

Chun Jianli herself didn't expect to be able to shoot, she was overjoyed, and she made a grimace with Ning Xiaomeng at the bandits who were no longer chasing them.

Behind them, the boy's body shook, stood still, opened the folding fan with a snap, and stood with a smile.

Below the boat, there was a three-forked river, and Xiaomeng shook the wood pulp, and the boat turned into another river, gradually moving away from those who were scolding on the shore in the distance.

***

The boat floated down a narrow river and downstream, with elk coming and going on both banks. In the distance, dark clouds gathered, and as the lightning flickered inside, the clouds gradually thinned, but the scene on the other side tended to be blurred, and it was obviously raining.

Although the showers are moving in this direction, it seems that they may not stop if they do not reach them, but the coolness has seeped over, making people feel much more refreshed.

"In Xia Chun Jianli, the people of the rivers and lakes are called the first archer in the world, God is afraid, ghosts are frightened, Xiaochun flying arrows, the example is not in vain." The red-robed girl proudly opened her bow to an elk on the shore.

In the case just now, when she was going down the river on the boat and the enemy was riding on the shore, she was able to shoot the other party, which made her very excited, and she only felt that it was boiling from head to toe.

Quietly glanced at the young man beside him, his mouth slightly cocked...... Now you know that I'm excellent at archery and invincible in Unai, right?

The boy rolled his eyes...... Do you really think you're superb in archery and invincible in Unai? If I hadn't helped you, would you have hit that arrow?

"What's that look on your face?" Chun Jianli held a bow and arrow, and her hands were crossed on her waist. Boast that people will die?

Ning Jiang smiled: "It's just a walking dog. luck, what's there to be proud of. ”

Chun Jianli said angrily: "This is called ability, do you know ability?" Do you think that superior arrow can be shot by everyone? ”

Ning Jiang waved his hand and said, "If you have the ability, you can shoot another arrow?" ”

"Hmph, look at me!" Chun Jianli poses to a deer downstream. The deer, with its horns, was apparently a male deer, moving slowly while grazing with its head down. As the boat glided along the river, the arrow drew closer and closer, and the sunlight shone on the arrow, and with a sound of strings, the deer slowly went to the other side, but the arrow landed at least a foot away...... This distance can already be said to be a thousand miles of fallacy.

The girl in the red robe was stunned for a long time, she had been trying very hard to find the feeling of the arrow just now, but why was the deviation so big? As the boat continued downstream, she looked back at the shadow of the deer, which had already scurried into the forest and vanished.

The boy smiled: "I said that you were just a lackey. luck. ”

The red-robed girl said angrily: "At least I shot ...... just now"

The young man snorted, "Such a simple thing, what is there to show off." ”

The girl in red called out, "If you have the ability, you come, you come." "Originally, I just wanted him to praise himself, but who knew that this guy didn't praise her, but he ridiculed her here, which was really unbearable.

The young man said, "I'll come, I'll come!" He put the fan at his waist, took the bow, and after pulling the string, he took the feather arrow and opened it vigorously against a tree diagonally below.

The girl in the red dress crossed her hands on her hips and thought with a hum, I really don't know whether to live or die, I can't shoot as a martial arts practitioner, and you want to shoot as a scholar? The girl in the autumn-colored shirt who was rocking the oars also looked at her brother curiously.

In their eyes, the young man seemed to be listening to the sound of the wind, slowly adjusting the direction of the arrow, and muttering words, as if calculating something, suddenly an arrow was shot, and with a snatch, it really hit the trees on the shore. The girl in the autumn fragrant skirt said excitedly: "Brother is so powerful!" ”

The girl in the red dress was dumbfounded, not to mention that in addition to selling her mouth, she had never seen this guy practice archery before, even if he really practiced archery, they were moving on the surface of the river, at this moment, because the rain showers in the distance were slowly moving, the river wind was stronger than just now, what kind of arrow would be blown off, how did he shoot it?

"Y-You've practiced archery before?" She asked, confused.

The young man smiled: "I've never practiced, I don't believe you asked Xiaomeng." ”

"That'...... How did you do that? ”

"There is only one reason why it can be done," the boy said. ”

"What is it?" The red-clad girl's eyes widened.

The young man held the bow behind him in his left hand, snapped with his right hand, opened the folding fan, and shook it in a chic manner: "That's ...... Because I'm handsome! ”

"What does this have to do with whether you are handsome or not?" The girl in the red dress raised her fists high and jumped hard.

The whole boat was rocking, and the autumn-colored girl who was rocking the oars hurriedly shouted: "Calm down, calm down, don't jump, don't jump......"

In the panic, the boat staggered downstream, and they passed through a group of lotus flowers, where green leaves were spread on the water, and bright red lotus flowers bloomed like flames.

Passing through the water where lotus flowers gather, there is a mirror-like lake in front of you, the sparkling water swaying regularly in the summer sun, and a few red carp frolicking in the lakelight. The carp dispersed, the lake scattered, the boat slowly shuttled by, and the lake light converged again behind them, connecting into one, and the smiling boy on the boat, two charming girls, together to build the most beautiful landscape painting in the world.

The boat slowly drifted towards the lake, and came to a stop at a small pier made almost of rudimentary planks, and on the other side of the pier, several women in rough clothes who were squatting there washing their clothes looked over to them. The red-robed girl tied the boat to a stake, looked around, and ran to a simple hut in the distance.

After a while, an old fisherman, with his granddaughter, went out with her, and looked at the boat that was anchored by the lake for a while, and then he called for someone, and several of them happily pooled together the money and gave it to the girl in red clothes.

The red-robed girl left the lake with the brother and sister, and in her hand, the few copper plates were tossed around, making a crisp sound. Behind them, the fishermen and fisherwomen excitedly dragged the boat they had left behind ashore.

Xiaomeng was puzzled and said, "Why don't you give the boat to them?" ”

For them, it's not bad at all for this little money in exchange.

Chun Jianli smiled: "You don't know this, if we give it to them like this, they will be suspicious, worried that we are stolen and robbed, and they don't dare to ask for it, you know, people like them, what they are most afraid of is a lawsuit." Now that we sell it to them, they are relieved, after all, they also bought it with money. This world is like this, we don't want a penny, but they will suspect that we are villains with ulterior motives, we want some, they will think that we are just a son-in-law and a daughter who don't know how to do business. ”

Xiao Meng said with a grin: "Jianli knows so much. ”

Ning Jiang shrugged: "It's average." ”

Chun Jianli said angrily: "Boast that people will die?" ”

Ning Jiang shook his fan and said, "The problem is, there is really nothing to praise. ”

"You, you ......" why is he always angry?

couldn't help but raise the bow to chase him again: "Don't run, don't run...... I really don't hit you! ”

Further on, they came to a town, this town leans against the mountains and waters, people gather, a zhang wide flowing water runs through the whole town, arch bridges, embankments, cooking smoke, slanting sun, depicting a picture of the rural beauty that is not lost to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the side of the arched bridge, a pair of merchants are unloading their goods, and on the other side of the street, a father and daughter are putting away their spears and stone slabs. Under the arched bridge, two fishing boats pass through like arrows, dragging two parallel water marks behind them.

The three of them boarded the arch bridge together, and suddenly, Ning Xiaomeng said softly: "Cat? ”

Ning Jiang and Chun Jianli turned their heads to look, only to see Xiaomeng bending down, supporting his knees with both hands, looking at a black cat, this black cat is small and cute, raised his head, looked at Xiaomeng's eyes with panic and fear, "meow", and fled under the bridge. Xiaomeng stood up straight, turned his head, and looked at the little black cat who fled towards the entrance of the alley, and a light breeze blew, blowing her autumn-colored skirt.

Ning Jiang frowned: "That cat ......"

Chun Jianli said: "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing...... Probably I thought too much. Ning Jiang looked again, but the cat had disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

After getting off the arched bridge, I continued to walk forward, flanked by rows of courtyards, and in one of the courtyards, there was a woman crying loudly, and the cry was miserable and sad. Ning Jiang and Chun Jianli didn't care too much, but Ning Xiaomeng couldn't bear to listen, and pulled an old man next to him and asked, "Old man, what happened to that family?" ”

The old man sighed: "That's Sister-in-law's house, alas, pitiful, my husband was arrested two years ago because he couldn't pay the field tax, and then he never came back, working hard to do handicrafts, pulling a son, yesterday the son went out to play, and never came back, I don't know if he was abducted by human traffickers, I heard that several children have been lost in the surrounding villages and towns." ”

Helplessly, he shook his head and left.

Ning Xiaomeng was gloomy when she heard this, but since she left Linjiang County, she already knew that there were not many such things in the world, and she couldn't manage them.

The brother in front of her turned around and called her, and she hurriedly ran forward.

The trio found the biggest ...... in town In fact, it is also the only inn, so I stayed here. The sky is getting dark, but this town is also quite lively, after the bath, Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng came to find Ning Jiang and asked Ning Jiang if he wanted to go to the night market with them, but Ning Jiang told them that he had something else.

So, Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng went to play hand in hand, while Ning Jiang was alone, shaking a fan in his own room while flipping through "Taigong Conspiracy". Almost half an hour later, there were three knocks and two light knocks outside the door, and he said slowly, "Come in!" ”

Someone pushed the door in, and it was an ordinary-looking old woman and a girl about ten years old. They closed the door, came to Ning Jiang's side, and whispered, "Master! ”

They are Qin Wuyan and Qin Xiaoya.

Ning Jiang put down the scroll and looked at them. Qin Wuyan said in a low voice: "Master, it is currently known that the 'Badao' Dai Ba, the 'Seven Fowl Knife' Xiao Zhang, the 'Dayan Palm' Wu Yude, the 'Heavenly Machine' Zhang Rentong, and the 'Fallen Man' Chen Tianya, these well-known heroes in the rivers and lakes have all entered Jianzhou, and in addition, because of the succession ceremony of the new Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect, there were originally many Jianghu guests who came to Longhu Mountain. Also, this is what you want, sir, the battle report in the Rongzhou, Huizhou, and Wuding areas of the Southwest Road. A note was handed in.

Ning Jiang took the note and read it quickly, followed by a stunned voice: "Ghost military division? ”
