Chapter Seventy-Five: Hidden Merit and Fame

"Ambush on All Sides" began, Xie An leaned against the window, and through the small window, the overture "Column Camp" was transmitted in the firelight horn outside the ship. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie An has received Xie Shang's elite education in the past five years, and the playing of musical instruments is naturally not a problem, and it is precisely because he has learned so much music that his martial arts have not made much progress, because he has no time.

He was not very familiar with the pipa, but through the imminent scene outside the window, the feelings of the tune were already in his chest and transmitted to his fingertips.

His fingers plucked from jerky to familiar, from green to smooth, and in the middle of the river wind and moonlight, the soldiers on both sides heard this seemingly nonexistent music in the wind.

Zheng Cherry is a servant, she played all the music scores treasured in Shizhao Palace, but for the first time she heard this song "Ambush on All Sides", listening to it, she suddenly had goosebumps all over her body, her heart was agitated, and she was inexplicably out of breath.

"Jin Dynasty Scholar Clan Collection?!" Zheng Cherry's eyes showed a strong desire, "Is it Penglai Score?" ”

"It's just a scrap of music, just a collection of books at home."

This is indeed the Penglai score of the Xie family, which was copied by Xie Shang three times, and he listened to the "Ambush on All Sides" in later generations, so he knew that only half of the music score in the family was collected, and the score of "After the Overlord Wujiang killed himself" did not know where it was lost.

As he finished answering, he closed his eyes and his fingertips were in line, an invisible force burst out from between the silk strings, and then the whole dock resounded with a noisy and urgent sound of hand-to-hand combat and sword strikes coming from nowhere.

In the dark blue of the night, the fleet broke through the water, and the arrows and blades were aimed at the enemy in front of them, and this sudden melody seemed to take everyone to the battlefield of life and death.

The first person to quickly wake up from the tune was Xi Jian, who looked for the direction the tune came from and smiled softly: "Although it is a superficial cultivation, it is also bold." ”

Shi Hu has not been affected by this "Ambush on All Sides", because his heart has been haunting Zheng Cherry's farewell song, he carried a gun, stood behind Liu Zheng, and gently pressed his slightly bullied shoulder.

Liu Zheng suddenly came to his senses, and at the same time, there was a heavy feeling of exhaustion from the arm holding the bow.

Although Shi Hu didn't blame him, Liu Zheng was very ashamed in his heart, he was already embarrassed to be ambushed, and he had to work hard to drive Shi Hu to make a move, which made Shi Hu find that he was confused by an unknown tune, and he couldn't even hold the bow steadily.

Shi Hu only said: "Xi Jian, I'll come!" ”

Shi Hu stood at the bow of the boat, saw that Xi Jian was also using a gun as a weapon, his heart was overjoyed, and he thought that when the ship approached, he flew directly to the dock, because he had a real feeling when he stepped on the ground, and it would be better for the boat to sit less in the future.

Liu Zheng stepped back, his face instantly turned red, shame and anger scorched his reason, he raised his bow again, and began to look for the person to play the song.

During the search, he suddenly found that in the window of the highest floor of the building, there was a young man in white standing near the window, holding a pipa in his arms, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the face of the young man Xie An was dyed with a layer of hazy color.

The two looked at each other, Liu Zheng was surprised, Xie An raised his eyebrows and smiled, then raised his hand, the tune stopped abruptly, the pipa was thrown out by him, and the person disappeared in front of the window.

……

The pipa was thrown back into Zheng Cherry's arms, and then she watched dumbfoundedly as Xie An took out something from her backpack - like a bow and a crossbow, only the length of a child's arm's length, and the bowstring had already been set up into a cross, just like the cross bow in the Qin and Han dynasties, and then this crossbow was smaller than the crossbow.

It is suitable for a teenager of Xie An's age.

Of course, this is tailor-made, Bai Zhou spent half a year making the arm crossbow according to Xie An's whimsical drawings, but the real divine arm crossbow was only invented in the Song Dynasty, and Xie An only remembers the approximate pattern.

The biggest advantage of this crossbow is that it is lightweight, and it can shoot five arrows in a row.

Xie An took advantage of Liu Zheng's comperture before he came to his senses, and poked his head slightly into the window with his arm crossbow, but as soon as he appeared, Liu Zheng's full bowstring suddenly loosened, and the arrow was aimed at him.

If you don't do it, you won't die, the arrow is fast, the distance is very short, you can't dodge, Xie An was instantly stunned.

However, at this moment, in the darkness, an arrow was also shot from the right side of the ship, and the man almost loosened the bowstring at the same time as Liu Zheng, and intercepted Liu Zheng's arrow towards Xie An halfway.

The two arrows collided, Xie An didn't have time to thank the man, and he didn't think much about who that person was, he had only one thought, aiming at Liu Zheng and launching the arm crossbow in his hand in a row!

Whoosh -

The five arrows broke through the wind and the moon, whether they hit Liu Zheng or not, Xie An didn't have time to look at it, the five arrows came out, and the arm crossbow fell apart, which was convenient for Xie An to pack back into his bag.

Zheng Cherry was a little stunned by what happened at this moment, but no matter how stupid she was, she could react, Xie An was leaving, and Shi Hu promised to let him go, so he could leave at any time.

But Zheng Cherry has heard such a rare song as "Ambush on All Sides", how can she be willing to let a live score slip away?

"Come back to Xiangguo with me!" Zheng Cherry hugged his arm and grabbed him stiffly, "I'll be your sister and keep you rampant on the territory of the people!" Anyway, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty killed your family, and your relatives didn't save you, come with us! ”

When he was Wang Dun's son, Xie An shook his head, then reacted suddenly, stared at the men's beauty in front of him with wide eyes, and asked in surprise, "Be my sister?" Are you a woman? ”

"It turns out that Shi Hu didn't have broken his sleeves?"

Zheng Cherry also realized at this time that Xie An had always treated her as a man, and she was angry, "What a broken sleeve!" Where am I not like a woman?! ”

She thought extremely aggrieved, just now they were still fighting in the small black room, she hugged him, she was still so fragrant, her face was so good-looking, how could she be recognized as a man?

Although Xie An didn't have time to pull with her, he couldn't help but look her up and down again, and finally his eyes fell on the chest that was almost as flat as a young girl, and said apologetically: "It's true that I didn't feel it for a while, and we Jiankang grabbed a lot of men who are as beautiful as women." ”

"Hmph, then I'll wait for Ah Hu to cross the Jiangbei and occupy your Jiankang, and then capture Lang Jun, who looks as good as a girl, into a garden, so that I can feast my eyes every day." Zheng Cherry pursed her lips and said angrily, "If you don't go with me, you will end up ruined in the future!" ”

Xie An shook off her hand and poked her head hard, "You think too much, right?" The Yangtze River is dangerous, are you sure that the people will not be buried in the river, you see that Shi Hu is seasick, and you will not be killed by Xi Jian, you are about to become a prisoner. ”

Zheng Cherry was in tears, rubbing her head that was poked by Xie An.

Xie An suddenly lost the desire to ridicule each other, he stuffed the remaining mulberries in the bag into her hand, and said, "Mulberries for you to eat, I'm leaving, don't see you again." ”

"Even his temper is very similar to his younger brother, and he is angry when he talks." Zheng Cherry stood in place, almost about to cry, watching Xie An run as light and fast as a cat, not even leaving his back for a moment, and then looking down at the pile of fuchsia in his hand...... Like the fruit of a caterpillar, this is a mulberry? The Jiangnan mulberry tree will bear fruit in May and June, which is the fruit of the mulberry tree? Weird and terrible.

And the fruit broke at the slightest touch, and it ended up with a hand full of red juice.

It's better to give it a hard bite, for the sake of you.

It's so sweet. Zheng Cherry burst into a smile, that smile was enough to charm all beings, but now, no one has time to appreciate it.

……

The situation on the side of the Karma people is not good now.

Liu Zheng had an arrow in his right eye.

Just as he was about to look for the person who blocked the arrow he shot at Xie An, he suddenly noticed five sharp arrows flying from Xie An's window, and he didn't have time to dodge, and he was hit by one of the arrows.

The arrow grazed the corner of his eye, which could have been saved, but the arrow was poisonous.

Xie An knows how to heal, so he is naturally poisonous, a sinister and cunning little fox! Liu Zheng wanted to cry without tears, because the only military doctor was knocked unconscious by Huan Wen and still hasn't woken up.

The toxin quickly eroded his right eye, like a fire, and a heart-rending cry rang out from the river.

The little boy, I don't know what method he used, he was able to hurt Liu Zheng, Shi Hu faintly regretted letting him go, but now is not the time to worry about this, because Xi Jian is waiting for him.

……

The thorn slave was looking for Xie An on the ship, and the deck of the ship was full of people, but there was no Xie An, so he could only go to the bilge to find it.

However, Xie An ran faster than him, and the thorn slave tried his best to find his back, and wanted to call his name, but then he remembered that he had been together for a while, and he didn't know Xie An's real name, and he didn't even dare to confirm whether he was surnamed Wang.

"Ahri!" He screamed anyway.

Xie An turned his head in response, waved his hand at him, and then climbed down from a small window and jumped into the river.

When the Thorn Slave ran over, he saw only the surface of the river glowing with fire and moonlight, and there was no trace of it.

That night, there was a big battle between the Haikou and Xi Jian's troops at the Nansha wharf, and there was no trace of Xie An on the besieged riverbank, and no one saw the little gentleman in the fishing village who could cure and teach.

And Xie An went upstream, fighting the foundation of diving and swimming for half a year, swam away from the dock, and swam until he reached the fork of the river, and then used the astrological skills taught by Shen Jin to identify the direction of the stars, and then chose a river channel to flow again.

There is no safer place than in the water.

And how exciting the battle between Xi Jian and Shi Hu was, he didn't want to watch it anymore, and now he just wanted to go home.

He had swam for most of the night, and when he was exhausted, he finally saw a small town, and a black canoe leaning against the shore, and the sturdy young man in the hat on the boat stared at the river without blinking all night.

Xie An was pulled onto the boat by Shen Jin, and then he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he saw the river covered with sunshine, and smelled the fragrance of zongzi from the town's houses, as if he was in another world.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Jin also prepared colorful silk and tied it on his arm, which is the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival, as well as the game of fighting hundreds of herbs to drive away the epidemic and ward off evil.

"Ah Jin, let's go home quickly!"

"Do you want to buy zongzi to eat?"

"Eat it when you get home! You must try the zongzi made by my aunt Zhuang, it is fragrant! ”

Xie An sat on the bow of the boat, the colorful ribbons waving in the breeze, and the young man's face, which had been slightly browned, had an uninhibited hearty smile.

He took out a close-fitting pouch containing his precious black pearl, which shone brightly in the sun.

Above the blue sky, birds flew across the cloudy sky, leaving no trace.

=====================================

After the end of the first volume, I can finally return to Jiankang, and a lot of troubles are still waiting for Xie Xiaoan.
