Chapter 320: There's a boatman on the river

Xu Mingyuan stretched out his hand to help, but he was angry, after all, how many people want to be famous in the rivers and lakes but can't, today there is a great master of Yipin lying here and can't move, even if he comes forward to make up for it after his death, it is also something worth boasting about for a lifetime.

You must know that Liu Shaoqu does not have a deep background like the Four Great Sects, if it is a first-class great master of the Four Great Sects who is lying here today, I am afraid that the onlookers will not say that they want to kill him, I am afraid that they will support him with a shy face and escort him all the way back to the sect.

But Liu Shaoqun is different, he has not been rumored to have a teacher since the day of his debut, and he has no friends in the rivers and lakes, even if he dies here today, most of them don't even have a person to collect the body, let alone anyone who will avenge him, which is why everyone dares to take advantage of his serious injury.

Although the brown horse under the crotch is a good horse, Xu Mingyuan also knows that if he walks like this, it will not be long before he will be caught up by everyone behind him.

And what made Xu Mingyuan's face a little ugly was that the wheezing of the horse under his crotch was getting heavier and heavier, and there was white saliva spit out when he opened his mouth.

Xu Mingyuan glanced back, a silver needle had sunk into the horse's buttocks, and half an inch was exposed, and it seemed that it should have been smeared with poison.

Xu Mingyuan's face was a little more gloomy, and at this time, Liu Shaoqun, who was lying on horseback, seemed to have passed out, and it seemed that the injury was indeed not light.

At this moment, Xu Mingyuan suddenly heard the sound of the river, and looked far away, not far from the official road, but there was a big river dozens of zhang wide, and there was a small ferry by the river, and a bamboo raft was docked.

Xu Mingyuan's face was overjoyed, he hurriedly hugged Liu Shaoqun, turned over and got off the horse with the black slate, and glanced at the brown horse that was already foaming at the mouth, although there was some unbearable look in his eyes, he still pulled out the Qingshuang long sword and stabbed it in the horse's buttocks.

The horse neighed in pain, spread its hooves and galloped along the official road, much faster than before.

Xu Mingyuan also knew that this horse would not live long, and if he was poisoned by a poison needle, he would probably only be able to run another mile or two before he would die of poison.

But now is not the time to be sentimental, carrying Liu Shaoqun, who was already unconscious, on his back, holding the inky black slate in one hand and the Qingshuang long sword in the other, Xu Mingyuan also used light skills and ran towards the ferry quickly.

There was already the sound of horses' hooves on the official road, and there were at least hundreds of horsemen listening to the sound, and if they caught up, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xu Mingyuan had already released the fireworks signal of the Yuntai Division before, but even if there were people from the Yuntai Division nearby, it was estimated that it would not be of much use to come here, unless Wang Xusheng had already contacted the killer of the White Tiger House to enter Jiangnan Province.

Xu Mingyuan carried Liu Shaoqun on his back and ran all the way to the ferry, looking at the boatman who covered his face with a hat on the bamboo raft, revealing gray-white hair and a gray coarse cloth short coat, and said in a hurry: "Boatman, your old man will send us to the other side." ”

"That kid is over there!" At this moment, after dozens of horses rushed over on the official road, someone finally found Xu Mingyuan, who was standing on the side of the ferry with Liu Shaoqun on his back, and shouted loudly.

Xu Mingyuan's face changed slightly, looking at the old man who slowly took off his hat on the bamboo raft, his hair was gray, but his complexion was ruddy like a baby, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were slightly condensed, and his expression was a little solemn and said: "Boat family, can this boat ferry people?" ”

"If you have money, why don't you cross it?" The old man laughed.

"How much silver do you have for two?" Xu Mingyuan continued to ask.

"One thousand taels, that black stone won't count your money." The old man glanced at the inky black slate that Xu Mingyuan was holding in his hand, stretched out a finger and said.

"Okay." Xu Mingyuan nodded in response, and directly took out ten silver tickets of one hundred taels from his arms and handed them over. At this time, there were already more than a dozen rivers and lakes with good light skills rushing to the dock and rushing towards this side on the trestle.

"Cheerful, let's get on board." The old man smiled and took the silver ticket in Xu Mingyuan's hand, stood at the bow of the boat, and said with a smile.

Xu Mingyuan glanced back at the pursuers who were already three zhang away, and stepped onto the bamboo raft.

"Little brother stand firm, start the boat!" The old man shouted, and his left foot stepped lightly on the bamboo raft, and the bamboo raft that was originally across the shore turned around strangely for half a circle, straight outward.

Fortunately, Xu Mingyuan was on guard after hearing the shouting, his feet were wrong, and he stood firmly on the bamboo raft.

After turning the bow of the boat, the old man gently hooked his left foot, and the bamboo pole on the far left of the raft, which was more than a foot long, stood upright and fell into his hand.

"Beware of the splash on the shore!" The old man shouted again, and the bamboo pole in his hand was inserted into the water, and then gently picked, and a waterline splashed up from the water, like a silver belt, and pumped on the trestle like a dozen Jianghu people who wanted to put hidden weapons or rush onto the bamboo raft, and a miserable scream sounded, and all of them fell into the water.

With the strength of this pole, the raft surged forward, and at once it was more than a foot away from the shore and floated towards the middle of the river.

At this time, a few second-grade little masters who had been deceived by the horse earlier had also rushed to the ferry. "Dead old man, you come back to Lao Tzu! Otherwise, there will be no good fruit for you to eat. ”

"What is the origin of this old man, he just threw a dozen good hands into the water with a rod, it shouldn't be as simple as luck, right?"

"It seems that there is probably no chance today, then Liu Shaoqun has a big fate, and I don't know who the blue-clothed swordsman is and why he wants to save him."

This great river is about to enter the sea, and the water surface is extremely wide, and the river is also extremely deep, so ordinary people with bad water characteristics do not dare to rush into the water.

However, three of the second-grade little masters felt that they had a good light skill, looking at the bamboo raft that sailed to the heart of the river, they were unwilling, and stepped towards the river, lightly touching the water with their toes, and they were already close to the bamboo raft in a few steps, which also attracted a burst of applause from the onlookers on the shore.

Xu Mingyuan, who helped Liu Shaoqun to sit down, looked at the three second-grade little grandmasters who were approaching the edge of the bamboo raft with happy faces, but they didn't have the slightest intention of making a move, and they didn't even hold the hilt of the sword.

"Little thief, if you have the courage to save him, then go with him and die today!" A bearded man in the middle shouted loudly, looking so rough, holding a delicate soft sword in his hand, and swinging his sword from a zhang away, it seemed that he wanted to kill Xu Mingyuan with sword qi.

And the middle-aged swordsman dressed as a scholar beside him, and another old woman in a flower dress who was slightly carrying a quilt, although they did not make a sound, they also used their own means, throwing hidden weapons around Xu Mingyuan and Liu Shaoqun on the boat, or raising their swords to stab.

Everyone on the shore held their breath and stared, all looking at the scene on the river, it seems that Liu Shaoqun is also in a catastrophe today.

"You can't get on the boat if you don't pay." At this moment, the old man said slowly, and as soon as he raised the bamboo pole in his hand, he had already blocked the hidden weapon thrown by the flower-clothed mother-in-law and the scholar, and then pulled out the bamboo pole in his hand, and slapped the three second-grade little masters into the water with a rod like a fly.
