Jiang Youli crouched on the shore, staring at the Han River, burning the Youli Flower Boat for a long time, a loud bang came, the keel of the boat was broken, and then the Flower Boat was disconnected and slowly sank into the Han River. When the flower boat sank completely, the hundred-tip warship that was like a river beast lying on the side slowly turned around and walked towards Huailai. Under the wind lamp hanging high in the bow of the ship, Huo Qingtong's handsome face was sometimes hideous and sometimes self-harming, his hands were holding his sword tightly, and his eyes were in vain in the vast night, feminine and fierce.

Jiang Youli gently touched Xu Ruyu, who was lying on top of him, and asked in a low voice, "Since you expected him to chase after and destroy the ship, why did you leave a letter for him in the boat?" ”

"When I left Yongyang, I made up my mind not to interfere in the dispute between the families, but I thought that Huo Qingtong finally had affection for you, and left a letter, mentioning the biggest hidden danger of his Huo family, I didn't expect him to burn the boat, it seems that we can't go under the Han water, first go to Hanzhong to avoid the limelight."

Jue'er said: "Didn't you hate this in the past, and you would kindly leave a message to tell you?" ”

Xu Ruyu sighed: "It's a pity that you are not a man, so you can't understand the generosity of a man after beating his rival in love." Seeing that the charm of my uncle and aunt has not diminished back then, my uncle and uncle must have been indispensable in love with their rivals back then, and my uncle and uncle must have understood that my tolerance and generosity at this time were sincere. ”

Jue'er knocked on his head and scolded with a smile: "I don't know how to respect my elders more and more, the ship is burning, and you have to carry all these luggage." ”

Spent two gold to buy an ox cart, and the five of them walked among the mountain trails on the south bank of the Han River.

Several people galloped and Xu Ruyu and others missed, cursing something in their mouths, looking back at the high stacks of suitcases on the ox cart, their eyes swept over the faces of Xu Ruyu and others, hesitated for a while, and rode away without saying a word.

Xu Ruyu saw that they were well-dressed and riding high horses, they should be the children of a wealthy family in Huailai, and they just couldn't understand the identity of their five people, so they didn't snatch it.

Xu Ruyu led the cow, looked at the pile of luggage raised high behind Youli, and said complainingly: "Isn't this a sign to summon thieves to rob us?" ”

Jue'er put on the clothes of a burlap peasant woman, full of opinions, and when she saw that Xu Ruyu dared to complain, she refuted it sharply: "Can you throw away this box of music scores that Sister Youli has worked so hard to collect?" Seeing him shake his head, he said again: "This box is Sister Youli and my clothes, can you buy it and return it to us if you lose it?" ”

Xu Ruyu shook his head, muttering in his mouth: "Sister Youli just a few changes of clothes......" Seeing Jue'er's smile on her face, she hurriedly closed her mouth.

Jue'er said: "It is rumored that General Qingfeng is the number one master of young people, and I still expect you to come back and teach me a few hands, but when you come back, I am disappointed, and I can't grow much better than a year ago." ”

Xu Ruyu's "Dao Zesheng" Xuangong has entered the realm of casual surnames, and he can return to the void without deliberately removing the Dan breath, if ordinary people, Jue'er and others naturally can't see the depth of Xu Ruyu. Xu Ruyu's heart moved, and after Jue'er's words, he was reminded that he had to pass on the art to Youli and Jue'er.

Xu Ruyu said curiously: "Do you have to carry a sign and write 'I am the number one young master in the world' to make Jue'er satisfied?" ”

Jue'er smiled: "Dead little fool, you still dare to talk about it." He was about to pull his messy hair, but he saw his uncle Fang Wu looking nervously at the corner of the mountain road ahead.

Jue'er was so nervous that she covered her mouth and nose, and asked in a low voice, "Did you make your crow's mouth right?" ”

Xu Ruyu nodded approvingly, and said: "There were six brothers around the corner who used to lie there hard, if we didn't move, each of them would probably jump forward with a bright steel knife." ”

Jue'er's pretty face turned pale, and she hugged the arms of Youli and her uncle and grandson, and her beautiful eyes stared at the corner without blinking.

Xu Ruyu gently squeezed Youli's palm and smiled with business. I didn't see how he moved, and he jumped and sat on Youli's side as if he was in a cloud, looking at the several wild maples hanging on the deep mountain wall indifferently, and pulled Youli's finger to show her.

The wild maple is only a foot high, attached to the dark stone wall, like a handful of flames in the night.

Youli said softly: "The action you just jumped up with was as comfortable as a cloud, and you didn't notice the abruptness, it seems that the affairs of the bodyguards along the way have to be taken care of by you." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Didn't you see that I just stepped on the walking clouds? ”

"Ahh Youli lightly covered her lips, her beautiful eyes showed a look of surprise, and said: "After you mentioned it, it feels like it, but the steps I stepped on were not as natural as yours, and they were so wonderful." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled: "But Sister Youli dances like a sunny blue sky, and I can't see enough." Jiang Youli lowered his head shyly, and the delicate little hand held by Xu Ruyu became moist.

When the five-person royal car slowly reached more than 20 steps away from the corner, it stopped and quietly looked at the corner of the mountain road.

The six mountain bandits lying in the col finally couldn't wait, and jumped out with a fierce face, and the leader slashed the steel knife a few times, cleared his throat and said: "I opened this mountain, and I ......planted this tree" But seeing the five people in front of him staring at him indifferently, An Zhiruotairu's five pairs of eyes looked at him, and seemed to encourage himself to continue, he panicked, and couldn't help stammering: "To... To ...... Ever after...... Stay and buy...... Buy Road Wealth ......"

After speaking, a layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he stepped aside dejectedly and said, "Go over, I won't rob you." ”

Jue'er smiled and jumped in front of the car lightly, but still behind her uncle Fangwu, and said, "But we also make a living by robbing." After that, he turned back to Xu Ruyu and said, "Xiaoyu, tell us about our incision and teach others, what should robbery be?" ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "I won't say, you just let them throw something and leave." ”

Youli and Shusun laughed so much that they only rubbed their lower abdomen, and called out in their mouths: "The intestines are broken." Uncle Fang Wu had never seen such a robber for half his life, and the muscles of his cheeks twitched slightly, thinking that he was holding back the smile that was about to burst out.

Only the six remaining mountain bandits were blushing, carrying steel knives next to the stone cliff wall, not daring to look at Xu Ruyu and them.

Xu Ruyu jumped out of the car, glanced at the six mountain bandits and said, "Let's go." ”

The six mountain bandits were relieved, spread their feet and hurried away, and disappeared into the mountains in an instant.

Jue'er returned to her seat and said in surprise: "Their martial arts are not weak, why did they leave?" ”

Youli clipped her nose and said, "Do you want them to really rob her?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "It's really the scum among the bandits, it's better for us to occupy the mountain as the king, how about you be my wife of the village, Sister Youli?" I came out to rob the house, and I guarantee that I am better than them? ”

Uncle Fang Wu couldn't help but laugh out loud in the end, causing everyone to laugh again. Uncle Sun Fangwu said: "These people are temporary thieves, and they don't want to rob people, it's really wronged." ”

Jue'er asked, "Didn't they try to rob us?" ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Of course, it should be related to the people I met before." If this is the case, we should have said a few words before they jumped out and let them retreat on their own. ”

Jue'er said disapprerovantly: "That's not fun at all. ”

The five-person ox cart slowly traveled northwest, walking in the mountains*, as if swimming in a painting, and the scenery could not walk sixty miles. It was not until the fourth day that I arrived at the valley city in the upper reaches of the Han River. The five of them still found a farmhouse outside the city to rest.

The Han River is above the valley city, the mountains are sandwiched between the banks, the river is very narrow, and the mountain road is more dangerous. However, Jinyang horses were not allowed to be sold privately, so the five had to buy another black mule to pull the cart and share the leg power.

Xu Ruyu chose people to teach him the art he had practiced, and awarded it to Youli. Uncle Fang Wu reluctantly accepted the fact that Xu Ruyu was far stronger than him, and also asked him for boxing advice. Uncle Fang Wu is old, although he can't re-cultivate the ancient practice of breathing boxing, but he has gained a lot from studying boxing.

Youli and Jue'er both have a pretty good foundation in martial arts, but they have no actual combat experience, and they learn the step cloud technique born from Xingyun Ni Dress, and they are making rapid progress.

Sixth, when they arrived at the territory of Changshou Yi in Qinzhou County, the horseshoe calendar behind them, the five people looked back and saw that the six Wosang Mountain bandits they met were riding horses. When Xu Ruyu was fighting in Changshou City, he saw them, so as not to embarrass them, so he didn't mention them to Youli and Jue'er. And now he saw them riding their horses, and it was evident that they had pursued them.

The six mountain bandits approached, restrained their horses, and the leader asked, "Can you go to Wudangyi?" ”

Xu Ru foolishly saw that the six people were no more than how old they were, and the leading young man was still a little younger than himself, with a handsome face, his eyebrows were as thick as a sword blade, and there was a thin mole between his eyebrows, giving people a sharp feeling, and his starry eyes were heroic.

Jue'er asked, "Are you here to rob, or are you sent to the door to be robbed?" ”

The man's face turned red, he peeked at Jue'er, and saw that Jue'er was looking at him in a hurry, lowered his head in a panic, and muttered: "The mountain road to Wudang is not very smooth, I'll come and say." ”

Jue'er smiled: "The bandits reminded the traveler to be careful of the bandits, I heard you right?" ”

The young man with a mole between his eyebrows no longer had the courage to speak, and glanced at a Confucian scholar on his left. Confucian frowned very embarrassed, lightly clamped the horse's belly, came to Jue'er, and said: "There was a misunderstanding last time, a few of our brothers suffered the evil anger of the children of the family on the Huailai Road, Fu Dao wanted to teach them a lesson, and did not want them to be timid and turn back. ”

Jue'er asked again: "Did you want to make mistakes, but you didn't expect that we were the real thief ancestors?" ”

Confucian looked unpredictable and said: "We offended you before, and there is something we can't live with, but at this time, we are kind to tell each other, even if you don't believe it, you don't have to ridicule others?" ”

Xu Ruyu stepped forward and said: "I don't go to Wudang here, I turn to the north is the border of Xijing Mansion of Qinzhou County, and to the east is the border of Nanyang Mansion of Yongning County, I don't know which road Brother Tai thinks is the safest to choose?" ”

The young man with a mole between his eyebrows blurted out: "Of course the road to Nanyang is safer?" ”

"Is it safe to go to southern Henan with six companions?"

"Ahh The mole between the eyebrows opened his mouth and looked at Confucius with an embarrassed expression.

Confucian didn't think that Xu Ruyu would see through his intentions in two or three sentences, they came from the southeast, and now he suggested that they turn back to the east without asking them where they wanted to go, not to tell others that they had ulterior motives. Arch his hand said: "The road ahead is indeed not very peaceful, don't doubt it." With that, he returned to the young man with the mole between his eyebrows, revealing an expression of impotence.

The young man with a mole between his eyebrows glanced at Jue'er gloomily, dismounted and walked in front of Xu Ruyu, and said in a sincere tone: "If you want to go to Hanzhong, it's best to borrow Xijing Mansion." That's all it takes, there have been many offenses in the past. With that, he led the horse in the direction of Nanyang.

Youli hugged Jue'er and said, "Let you smear some dust on your face, you haven't done it yet, and now you're almost robbed by others." ”

Jue'er's nose wrinkled slightly, and said: "The little foolish gray powder is uncomfortable on my face, and it's a big deal that I put on a light veil." ”

Xu Ruyu continued: "If I want to cover up, if I see a masked woman passing over my territory, why should I rob it to see what is going on." ”

Jue'er was embarrassed: "Anyway, my Starry Sky Fragrance Sword has also achieved a little success, and I am not afraid of ordinary thieves, so I will hand over the powerful ones to you." As he spoke, he couldn't bear Youli's itching, and rolled in Youli's arms with a smile.

Uncle Sun Fangwu said: "A few of them have no malicious intent, it seems that there has indeed been a change in the direction of Hanzhong, you foolish, where should we go now?" ”

Xu Ruyu said softly: "Go to Nanyang." ”

Jue'er said "ah", and was about to speak, but saw that Xu Ruyu's face was as resolute as iron, giving people a strange feeling, and she looked up at Youli in confusion.

Youli gently put her lips to her ear and said, "This is still our little fool." Looking at Xu Ruyu twisting his head, he smiled lightly.

Xu Ruyu took her hand, walked up to Uncle Sun Fangwu and his wife, and said: "I have died since my mother died when I was young, and I lost my loving father six years ago. With that, he pulled Youli and bowed deeply.

Uncle and grandson Fangwu and his wife cried with joy, and helped Xu Ruyu and Jiang Youli respectively.

Shusun found a belt of red silk, one end with Xu Ruyu's clothes, and the other end with Jiang Youli's clothes, and guided the two to bow down to the southeast, saying: "Youli's ancestral home is Southern Fujian. He also guided the two of them to bow down to the east and said, "Ruyu's ancestral home is Qingzhou. He also asked the two of them to bow down to the Hanshui and the highest mountain in the horizon, let the two of them knot their hands, and said: "Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said; Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”

Xu Ruyu and Jiang Youli met their eyes, and said softly: "Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said; Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. The voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Although she couldn't officially get married in the wilderness, Yuli still asked Jue'er to spread her bun and re-coil her hair into a snail bun. Xu Ruyu looked at the wisps of green silk wrapped like poetry, reached out and wiped off the gray powder on Youli's face, revealing her peerless beauty, affectionately looked into her affectionate eyes, pulled her into her arms, looked at the distant mountains, and said softly: "I have wronged you too much." ”

Youli leaned his head on Xu Ruyu's shoulder, and said softly: "Youli is content. ”

Turn back to Changshouyi, hire a boat along the Changshou Canal, and enter the territory of Longzhongyi, Nanyang Prefecture, Yongning on September 8. Xu Ruyu and the others went ashore in a town called Shangnan.

Cut through Longzhongyi and turn north for more than 100 miles, and cross Funiu Mountain to be the territory of Henan Prefecture in Fenyang County. Henan Prefecture is located in the southwest of Fenyang County, and is connected with Yongning County and Jinyang County.

If there are Xiangfan congregations stranded in southern Henan, they should be in the Funiu Mountain at the junction of the three counties.

The land route from Changshou to southern Henan is also parallel to the Guanghan Canal to the territory of Longzhong, and then to the north through the Funiu Pass, which is the territory of Henan Province in Fenyang County. Of course, you can also go north from Changshou-eup, to Xijing, to the east along Weishui, to Nakju-eup, and to the south to Henan Province.

The tone of the six teenagers seemed as if they could only pass through Longzhong to southern Henan along the Guanghan Canal, which made Xu Ruyu have the idea of the Xiangfan congregation hiding in the Funiu Mountains in the southern part of southern Henan Province, so he wanted to come over to find out.

Shangnan connects Gucheng Mansion of Jinyang County, Nanyang Mansion of Yongning County, and Henan Mansion of Fenyang County, which is the accessible place of the three counties, and the Guanghan Canal flows into the Danjiang River from Shangnan to the south, and the Danjiang River flows into the river, which is the northwest entrance of the Nanyang Basin of Yongning. Four hundred years ago, the Yuan clan of the old dynasty built a middle city here and took a valley more than 50 miles southeast of Shangnan, which was really a mistake. Four hundred years ago, Nanyang was the hinterland of the Yuan clan, and the construction of the city was more about feng shui, and there was a lack of consideration for economic and military use.

After the rise of the Fu family in Yongning Nanyang Mansion, they considered building a city in Shangnan, but under the pressure of the Huo family in Jinyang and the Xun family in Fenyang, they had to give up.

Shangnan does not have high walls and deep gates, but three horizontal, three vertical and six long streets are six miles long, making it seem to have the momentum of the first important town in the old Chu.
