On the vast river, the storm is raging, the rain is urgent, setting off stormy waves, and a lonely fishing boat sometimes submerges into the valley of the waves, and sometimes rushes to the peak of the waves. Far from being subverted and swallowed by the wind and waves, the fishing boat, which was violently tossed in the wind and waves, seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope and tied to the surface of the river, and did not drift down with the waves for a long time.

A huge ship four or five zhang long along the surging river water like a sharp arrow shot by a crossbow, passing at high speed in the wind and waves, several strong men in the bow of the ship, soaked short cardigan wrapped in a strong body, in such a wind and waves, even a well-trained good hand also looked tired, in the dim light, but the expression was more resolute and unyielding.

When they reached the river, the people on deck spotted the fishing boat, and they all looked at each other with surprise in the eyes of their companions.

Everyone walks on the river all year round, and knows that the typhoon showers in the coastal waters are tyrannical, and such wind and waves are difficult for even the smaller boats to resist, let alone ordinary fishing boats.

The fury of the great waves and winds was thrown, and the topping of the fishing boat seemed to be torn off by an invisible hand.

A deep voice came from the cabin: "Lean over the fishing boat." The sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard in the roaring wind and waves. The sailor at the bow of the boat carefully controlled the boat and approached the fishing boat.

Xu Ruyu watched the giant ship coming here, smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand to hold Youli's arm, his mind was slightly constricted, and the mysterious feeling of dissolving with heaven and earth came to an abrupt end, and the fishing boat suddenly jolted violently, and through the leaky black canopy, the rain continued to splash into the cabin.

Xu Ruyu stood firmly on the boat board with his feet, his body swayed with the hull, looked at the wine pot and cup that had already rolled into the corner, and said with a smile: "In such weather, there are also people on the boat, and the good interest is also ruined." “

Although Youli was not afraid of the wind and waves, he was more willing to lean on his arm and said, "If you go away without even a boat, don't you want to complain about the troubled world and people's hearts are broken?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao led the Yongyang reserve camp back to Yongyang in mid-July, but Xu Ruyu and Jiang Youli did not accompany him.

Yueqing City is a garrison, no ordinary people have moved in, the eyes of various forces can not enter Yueqing for a while, after a long time, I did not see Xu Ruyu in Qingjiang, only to find that he and Jiang Youli had already left Qingjiang Mansion. It is guessed that Xu Ru must have gone to Yongyang with a group of merchant ships, and he may have transferred to Wanling at this time.

However, in the past ten days, there has been no trace of Xu Ruyu in the East China Sea.

Out of the Qingjiang River, Xu Ruyu and Youli drove a fishing boat in the river to chase the waves and chant the wind and the moon, more than ten days in the past, last night suddenly to the rainstorm, Xu Ruyu was full of interest, drove the boat on the river, with the supreme Xuangong, the fishing boat was embedded in the tyranny of heaven and earth, * it was presented in front of you like a giant pair of ink.

In Qingjiang, under the support of everyone, their words and deeds are cautious, which can compare to the two of them who are relatively wanton in the wind and waves. This strange interest ruined the side boat who was willing to help, and Xu Ruyu was inevitably annoyed in his heart.

Xu Ruyu saw Youli making fun of herself, hugged her and said, "I'm just your little servant, you have to prepare a set of rhetoric, otherwise our work of hiding on this river will be in vain." ”

Youli buried his face in his arms, afraid that the water would dilute the gray on his face.

Youli is handsome, only a little shorter than Xu Ruyu, powdering makes his soft and tender face rough and dull, wearing men's clothes, with a long sword hanging on his waist, but he is a beautiful son.

Xu Ruyu's eyes are bright and introverted, he looks dim, his handsome face is a little less bright, his body is thin and thin, and he has a short shirt in a green shirt with a Gebu turban.

Lianfang leaned over, and a sailor folded his hands and shouted, "Is there anyone on board?" ”

Xu Ruyu grabbed the plank, poked his head out of the cabin, and pretended to be hoarse and shouted to Lian Fang: "Someone, someone, the benefactor will help quickly......" turned his head to look back, Youli was pursing his lips and laughing, obviously laughing at his deceptive appearance.

One person jumped over, saw two people in the cabin, turned around and shouted: "Call Zhu Laosi to come over, there are two people in the fishing boat." With that, he stepped into the cabin and reached out to help Youli.

Youli gently let it go and said, "I can get by, and I can help my family in trouble." ”

The man was slightly stunned, and then he was relieved: how could he not have considerable skills after supporting him for a long time in such a turbulent sea? In the blink of an eye, he looked at the servant, his face was pale, and he was obviously exhausted in the wind and waves, he reached under his armpit, picked him up with one hand, and stepped out of the cabin proudly.

Another person jumped over from the giant ship, saw Youli easily following behind Ouyang Lei, and said, "It seems that I don't need any help." With that, he shook his left hand, handed a cable to Ouyang Lei, turned around and jumped towards Lianfang.

Xu Ruyu saw the relieved look in the man's eyes, and secretly smug in his heart: he had hidden him. With the cultivation of the third grade of Youli, he happened to be able to travel in this wind and waves, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Ouyang Lei took the cable, and as soon as he took it, he shot straight towards the giant ship with Xu Ruyu under his armpit, and when he approached, he stepped out with both feet, pointed on the wall of the ship, and somersaulted, fell into the side of the ship, and put Xu Ruyu under the canopy.

Youli then used the Qi Cloud Technique, took a few steps in the void, and stepped on the giant ship with agility.

The canopy is very short, Xu Ruyu can't carry the pill breath like Youli to force away the wind and rain, and his body is instantly wet with rain.

A deep voice came from the cabin: "Uncle Ouyang, quickly let the distinguished guest into the cabin." ”

The hatch opened from the inside, and in the midst of the storm, the morning and dusk were indistinguishable, and a huge candle had been lit in the cabin, and the flickering red light shone into the dense rain curtain.

Xu Ruyu followed Youli and stepped into the cabin, only to see five people sitting around the table in the cabin, and a middle-aged man sitting in the right seat, about forty years old, with a beautiful beard that was long and under his chin, he was born graceful and heroic, and he looked at him with a modest and polite demeanor. There are twenty-five or six women on the man's right hand, quite charming, with a look and posture, very sultry, and the attitude of the man is tired, and he thinks that he is a beautiful concubine of the man. The beautiful girl in her left hand, who has not yet reached the age of time, holds the arm of the middle-aged man with a delicate expression, but her eyes are not good at looking at the bewitching woman. The young man sitting at the bottom of the head has now stood up, looking chic and handsome, with a graceful demeanor, more than half a head taller than Xu Ruyu, although he is dressed as a scribe, he has no weakness at all, his spine is straight and his shoulders are broad, giving people the feeling of being well versed in martial arts.

Xu Ruyu was originally handsome, but at this time, he pretended to be out of strength, his eyes were scattered and gloomy, and his coarse cloth shirt was wet from the rain in many places, wrapped around his body, and he suddenly felt dwarfed.

Zhu Laosi, who came back at the right time, sat on the right side of the young man, with a bearded face, angry eyes, and a bit of fierceness in his expression, while the man who came over by himself had a sharp and thin chin and narrow and detailed eyes, which looked shrewd and capable.

The young man saluted and said, "If you want to go down the river and don't dislike it, you can tie the light boat behind this boat, and you can shelter from the wind and rain in the cabin." ”

Youli Yuguang swept over Xu Ruyu, and saw that although he seemed to be depressed, there were familiar doubts in his eyes, and he knew that he saw the abnormality, and he muttered undecisively.

The young man only thought that he had seen through his identity, smiled apologetically, and said, "My Changhe Gang rarely sets foot in the river, no wonder Brother Tai is suspicious. In the next king passed away. Pointing to the middle-aged man, he introduced, "Second uncle, Jun Xiaoyun." ”

Jun Xiaoyun, the younger brother of Changhe Gang Jun Zhuoyan, is one of the few sword masters in the world, Xu Ruyu saw that he did not have a sword in his hand, and there was no sword in the cabin, and thought: He may have cultivated all the way. However, Jun Xiaoyun is also famous for his wisdom, and the rise of the Changhe Gang is tied with the Donglin Association and the Two Lakes Gang as the three major factions of the waterway, so he has the merit of calmly scheming.

Donghai County controls the world's sea salt, and the East China Sea salt affairs are mostly operated by the Donglin Society, and if the other factions want to share huge profits from the salt affairs, they need to make peace with the salt farms controlled by the small and medium-sized families. Especially at this time, the power of the Chen clan is tilted into the East China Sea, and the other factions involved in the salt trafficking are suspected of being private tyrants. Helplessly, the salt is profitable, and the Chen family cannot control the entire territory of the East China Sea, especially after the Tairu Xi family is attached to the Chen family, they are not willing to let the huge profits of salt go to the Chen family, and secretly connive at the private salt fishing profits, so that half of the salt affairs in the East China Sea come from the Chen family, and half go to the private tyrants.

Jun Zhuoyan has three sons and two daughters, Jun Shushui is Jun Zhuoyan's youngest son, who is responsible for private salt operations, and is very favored by his father. It's just that in the past, the Yangtze River helped the smuggling salt only go to Huaishui, and at this time, the giant ship traveled on the river under the torrential rain, and there was no tugboat to follow, so I wanted to have another purpose.

Two daughters, one Huaguang and one famous, both have the appearance of sinking fish and geese. Jun Zhi married into Cai Hui of the Youyi Cai family. Cai Hui is the third son of the king of Beijing County, and he is also Xu Ruyu's cousin.

This marriage was full of political transactions, but it made the Changhe Gang more powerful above the river, and even if the Donglin Society knew that it was involved in the private salt business in the East China Sea, it was helpless.

Under Jun Shuishui's introduction, Xu Ruyu knew that the bewitching woman was Jun Xiaoyun's concubine Song Qian, the girl was Jun Xiaoyun's only daughter Jun Huaiwei, and the bearded man and the thin man were both senior deacons of the Changhe Gang, one Zhu Shengjie, and one Ouyang Lei.

Youli smiled and said: "In Xiajiang Yu, traveling through the river, suddenly encountered heavy rain, Tuo Da did not retreat, so he was so embarrassed, fortunately you helped. ”

Jun Shushui was slightly stunned, thinking: The man is so good-looking when he smiles.

Xu Ruyu looked at it and felt unhappy, and squeezed his eyebrows at Youli.

You Li understood and said: "I have a messy clothes with my family, and I am rude......

Jun Shushui asked a waiter to lead the two into a spacious cabin on the ground floor.

Xu Ruyu sat down with the door closed, stretched his waist, yawned with his hands, and said, "Miss eloped with a house slave, but it was a good gimmick." ”

Youli said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? ”

"Now Jun Xiaoyun and Jun Shushui are guessing our identities outside, and the elopement of the young lady with the house slave is the most reasonable explanation they can think of."

"They recognize me as a woman dressed as a man?"

"In order to cover up your throat, you look at people with your chin looking at people and look a little shrugging, and there are some incongruities in your beautiful posture, others may not be able to notice it, but Jun Xiaoyun will be suspicious. What's more, if you smile too womanly, anyone will doubt it. ”

Youli smiled shyly.

Xu Ru smiled evilly: "Jun Xiaoyun asked you and me to change clothes in the cabin, but you agreed without hesitation, it is difficult to ensure that they do not think crookedly." ”

Youli said angrily: "If you laugh again...... you stretched out his hand and wanted to fight, but he was caught by Xu Ruyu, Gege smiled, withdrew his hand back, and untied the scholar's towel to tidy up his sideburns.

Xu Ruyu untied his baggage, took out a short coat and changed it on, and threw the rain-wet coat on the table.

Youli said with a smile: "How can there be a young lady waiting for the house slave, you still have to tidy it up yourself, so as not to let others see it and reveal the flaws." ”

Xu Ru salivated and said, "How can the lady who eloped put on a stand? Before he could say more, his ears had fallen into Youli's hands, and he immediately stopped talking, reached out to fold his clothes, and Orr said: "Miss eloped with a house slave, then it makes sense that I, a house slave, must have the ability to seduce Miss, Youli, what do you admire about me, and I will always pretend to test them later." ”

Youli smiled and said, "It's up to you?" How do you know that they don't think I'm here to discuss anything else? ”

Xu Ruyu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Going down the river, the north bank is Zhenning in Yongning, Suyi and Yongyang in the East China Sea; On the south bank are Dangtu, Jingkou, Danyang, and Xishan in Yue County, where will the boats of the Changhe Gang go? They sail in such a boat, it seems that they will not have the same leisure and leisure as us, it should be to hide people's eyes, ah, will they kill people? ”

Youli was taken aback, saw Xu Ruyu's face with a look of urgency, and said: "They are so close to you, when you open your mouth to ask for it, they will spare your dog's life." ”

"The life of a dog is the most valuable, and if it falls into the hands of others, it is natural that it will not come back, or let them treat us as a young lady and a house slave who eloped, since they can save the fisherman in distress, they should not harm the mandarin duck in the wilderness. Youli, you look much younger than me, just like a young lady with a family tradition of martial arts. ”

Youli said: "You deliberately led them to speculate in this direction? ”

Xu Ruyu denied this point. When he was in Qingjiang, everyone was crowded, and Youli needed to be graceful and elegant to set an example, but now he was opposite Xu Ruyu, how could he suppress a woman's little temper again. Xu Ruyu didn't hate this, and was happy to have fun with him.

Xu Ruyu sat on the bed board and said, "Where did I get so deep?" The unintentional calculation is the best calculation, and it is the least traceable, you have to rely on my head, just take it as my unintentional calculation. ”

Youli was skeptical, and said casually: "The sailors on this ship are really powerful, and they don't feel that they are shaking badly. ”

Xu Ruyu thought it was true, and said worriedly: "The sailors of the Two Lakes Gang are not weaker than them, it can be seen that the benefits of the Nanping Sailors, the Qingjiang River is too calm and calm, such a waterway, the sharpest sailors can't be trained." ”
