Xu Ruyu lived in the town under the pseudonym Ayu for more than half a month, and the matter of Donghai County gradually spread to the town, and the rumors about Xu Ruyu made the young people in the town listen to the blood boiling, and heard that Ayu came from Donghai County, and from time to time people asked him in pairs to confirm the real surname of these rumors.

Xu Ruyu smiled faintly and said, "How can there be such a god with false rumors?" If you think about it, he may not be much older than you, but even if he has some skills, he is very limited. ”

Tingxue covered her ears and said, "I don't believe it." There are rumors about General Qingfeng in Donghai County, Chen Ang and Zhang Zhongdao in Donghai County have long been well-known figures in the world, but why didn't anyone talk about them this time? ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly and didn't answer, spread his hands, showing an expression that you don't believe me and I can't do anything.

Listening to Xue still refusing to relent, he relayed a rumor about the East China Sea to him, and asked him if it was true with bright and curious eyes. Xu Ruyu said that it was an exaggeration, and she came to refute him again, saying that he was just envious of General Qingfeng's achievements at such a young age: "You can't compare to Ami in this point, he admits that he is not General Qingfeng, and now he has begun to study the book of war very hard and practice swordsmanship." You yourself are not up, and you still belittle General Qingfeng like this? ”

For a while, the town was filled with various rumors about General Qingfeng.

Xu Ruyu is the only son of Xu Xing, the head of the world's "six handsome", rescued by the great murderer Wu Chu of Qingzhou under the city of Bayang, Wu Chu assassinated Zhang Dong in Jiangjin and swayed himself, General Qingfeng found out that Baishi Xu Bodang plotted the East China Sea, and traveled more than 2,000 miles in two days and two nights to report to various places in Donghai County. Outside Qichuan City, Xu Bo was killed with only 600 elite cavalry and 20,000 elite soldiers. In Yizhou, a person assassinated Yi Zhouwu, and the grandmaster Yichen also admired his cultivation and went to Yongyang to talk about martial arts with him in person. In the face of danger, he was ordered to serve as the captain of Yongyang, and wiped out all the 100,000 Puji bandits under Jingyangmen.

Xu Ruyu laughed dumbly when he heard this, tasted Yiguanyuan picked wild tea from the back mountain, and said to Tingxue: "No matter how powerful Xu Ruyu is, how can he be qualified to talk about martial arts with Master Fu, if you say that Master Fu mentions Xu Ruyu, it is more credible?" ”

Tingxue's face was slightly red, and she felt that she was only exaggerating one place and was recognized by Ah Yu, but the others were really listening to what Ami said in person, and she couldn't help but feel anxious, and said: "Even if I exaggerate some words, everything else is true, haven't you heard of it in the East China Sea?" ”

Xu Ruyu shook his head with a smile and said: "The three of them became tigers, and it is rumored that one person exaggerated a little, and it is three thousand miles from Yongyang Mansion to here, I don't know how many people's mouths have passed, and how many times it has been exaggerated, so I don't believe it." When I was in Donghai County, Xu Ruyu was just regarded by everyone as a very ordinary person. ”

Tingxue was so anxious that her face was flushed, she pulled Yi Yuanguan's arm, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, are you saying that the rumors are true?" ”

Yiguan took a sip of tea, the bitter tea turned on the tip of the tongue, the lips and teeth immediately gave birth to a cool moisturizing, and a trace of sweetness gradually appeared in the bitterness.

Yi Guanyuan put down the teacup, glanced at Xu Ruyu, and then glanced at seven or eight pairs of eyes that eagerly hoped for his affirmation, chuckled, and said, "Ah Yu came from the East China Sea, what he said should be true." ”

The sturdy and sturdy Mi Yusheng hurriedly said: "Uncle Yi, this is all news from Hankou City, even if it is exaggerated, it should be limited, right?" ”

Yi Guanyuan squinted at him and said, "When you said to listen to the snow, you didn't exaggerate?" ”

Mi Yusheng's swarthy face flushed red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Hearing Xue remember something, she shouted: "Daddy, did the official notice sent from the city mention General Qingfeng a few days ago?" ”

The "official notice" is the official way of the county government announcing important events and news in the world, but the scope of circulation only reaches the gentry clan, and ordinary civilians do not know the contents. The official notice not only mentions Xu Ruyu, but also describes in detail Xu Ruyu's rectification of the chaotic army on a rainy night, the battle of Jingyangmen, the implementation of the "Displaced People Resettlement Order" and the "Post-war Wasteland Disposal Order" in Yongyang Mansion, and the farewell of the soldiers and civilians of Yongyang, and Xu Ruyu's training in Wanling, breaking the Baishi elite soldiers with 600 elite cavalry, and assassinating Yi Zhouwu have long been on the desk. Although the rumors have been exaggerated a lot, one thing is certain, Qingfeng General Xu Ruyu has risen in recent years as the most outstanding young master and the most outstanding young general.

Yi Guanyuan shook his head and said, "There is no mention of it in the official notice." ”

Listening to Xue's disappointed followers out of the shop, when they met Xu Ruyu on the stone cliff by the Han River at dusk, they mentioned General Qingfeng.

"Whatever you say, I believe the rumors are true. So many thieves poured into the city like a tide, General Qingfeng was not afraid at all, he was heroic, he smiled freely, and he was very interested in talking about piano skills with the water like a shadow on the city tower, do you say that there is really such a strange man in the world? ”

Xu Ruyu remembered the situation when his heart was cold, his back was sweating, and he asked Shui Ruying to tune the piano to force his composure, and said with a smile: "How can there be such a man in the world? ”

Hearing Xue, she glanced at Xu Ruyu and said, "Yes, isn't General Qingfeng such a person?" Shui Ruying must be very happy to have such a man in love. If I could stand side by side at the head of the city like him, looking at the thieves who kept coming up and watching the sunset that suddenly appeared behind the crowd, how good would it be......" Hearing Xue blushing and falling into a distant delusion, the girl Huaichun's face was full of resentment and joy, but she didn't see Xu Ruyu's expression change dramatically at this time.

Yes, Sister Youli must have misunderstood the relationship between me and Shui Ruying, so she didn't go to Yongyang to find me. Xu Ruyu thought of the situation in Yongyangwu Port, when he saw that Youli and Huo Qingtong were crazy and heartbroken, and thought: Sister Youli must be very sad when she hears the rumors between me and Shui Ruying. pushes himself to save others, then he must have misunderstood Sister Youli.

Thinking about it like this, Xu Ruyu only felt that he couldn't stay for a moment, so he wanted to go back to the hotel to retrieve his bags, and thought that Hua Fang might pass by here when he left, and he was very embarrassed for a while. I didn't return to the town until dark, settled the travel expenses, and said goodbye to the townspeople one by one.

Although most of Tingxue's newborn girlish feelings were transferred to General Qingfeng, he was reluctant to accept Ah Yu's sudden departure, and temporarily asked him to return to the town after looking for Jiang Youli.

Mi Yusheng and others also formed a friendship with Xu Ruyu, and sent Xu Ruyu away with Tingxue, but they were reluctant at all, as if they were relieved to get rid of a rival in love.

From Hankou along the Han River to the northwest, to Huailai City, there is a distance of nearly 600 miles. Bai said that Xu Ruyu walked along the river embankment, and did not dare to perform the shocking lightweight technique; At night, the figure is hidden in the night, like a light cloud floating on the land of Jingchu, sometimes interested, Suo surname tread water, but it can't support for long, Dan breath is exhausted, Xu Ruyu is not in the river, just like leaving Yongyang, the mind is dissolved into the river, with the help of heaven and earth mysteries, and the most mysterious and subtle vitality between heaven and earth is connected, and the exhausted Dan breath is quickly replenished. In the early morning of the third day, when Xu Ruyu rushed to Huailai, Dan Xi had already improved a little.

Huailai is the Jinyang County Administration, the old dynasty Han River south bank to build around the six miles of the earth city name Xiangyang, on the earth city wall, inlaid with countless bright white broken porcelain pieces, obviously the city wall was built in a hurry, there was no time to sift the soil again. When Xu Xing and Xu Ruyu came to his arms, he pointed to the earthen city of Xiangyang and said: The porcelain pieces mixed in the soil have a great impact on the firmness of the city wall.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, the Huo family rose in Xiangyang, became the first wealthy family in Jinyang County, abandoned Xiangyang Tucheng and did not use, in the east of Xiangyang City, based on bluestone, take clay to burn green bricks and build a new 28-mile big city, the name Huailai.

The earth city is abandoned and not used, only as a place for troops, compared with the adjacent high-walled fort Huailai, it is like a giant earth fort.

Xu Ruyu entered the city and issued a passage document from Suyi in Donghai County, which was issued on June 28. The captain on duty casually looked through the passage document and said, "There is a character in the East China Sea, do you know it?" ”

"The general is talking about General Qingfeng. How could a little person like us know General Qingfeng? ”

"I heard that General Qingfeng left the East China Sea on June 29, just one day later than the date issued on your document."

Xu Ruyu didn't want to leave a flaw on the passage paper, so he made up his mind in his heart, went into the city and spent some money to buy another one, and looked at the Jinyang County sentry captain who was about the same age as him with a calm expression, and said: "Yes, they all said so, but no one saw it." ”

"He's really as good as the rumors?"

"I heard one kind of rumor when I was in Jiangjin, and another rumor in Zhongliu, and the rumor about General Qingfeng in Hankou is different, but I don't know what Huailai's rumors about General Qingfeng are, and the villain doesn't know how to answer the general."

The sentry captain laughed, patted Xu Ruyu's shoulder kindly, and said, "Do the people of Donghai County talk as funny as you?" Okay, after the inspection, you can go over there and pay the entrance fee. ”

Huailai dug a deep canal called an open canal to lead the Han water into the city. Xu Ruyu is now walking on the long street on the bank of the nullah. On both sides of the nullah is a wide stone street with four horses driving side by side, and there are many merchants on one side of the stone street, restaurants, tea shops, goods shops, etc., and the stone steps from the stone street to the nullah double as a cargo wharf, full of all kinds of goods that need to go up and down.

The Huo family is using troops against Jing County, and the military resources are very expensive, and these military supplies need to be accumulated in Huailai first, and then distributed from Huailai to various battlefields in Jing County. It is precisely this that makes Huailai look strangely prosperous, and the docks are full of sergeants with halberds.

It is very likely that the young Li Huafang is hidden behind the huge merchant warship, Xu Ruyu suddenly became nervous, and the sweat oozing from his palms was wet.

When Jue'er stretched her waist and walked out of the cabin, she squinted at the nascent sunrise, and a vague figure stood in the dazzling light. The short and long light made his silhouette distort so badly, Jue'er still saw the tears in his eyes, screamed, fled back to the cabin, and pulled Youli out.

Youli hugged Xu Ruyu, who was almost paralyzed on the stone steps, and tears fell down and seeped into his bun. Xu Ruyu hugged her knees, her long skirt wet with tears, and she couldn't make a clear voice when she whimpered. Jue'er cried and laughed for a while, but she didn't know what to do, and then she hugged Xu Ruyu, but her foot kicked him gently, and shouted: "Stinky little fool, dead little fool, why didn't you know to come back until now, you know how hard Sister Youli waited for you, stinky little fool, dead little fool......"

Uncle and grandson Fangwu and his wife burst into tears, and Uncle Sun said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back...... Uncle and grandson Fangwu said in a trembling voice: "Let's go into the cabin, everyone is around." ”

Xu Ruyu recounted the experience of more than a year to everyone, and Youli cried again, listening to him talk about the madness when he talked about Yongyangwu Port and the ignorance of a month, Youli only felt that his angina was very bad, and stared at Xu Ruyu with pity and love, afraid that he would disappear from his eyes again.

Jue'er pinched Xu Ruyu's ears and scolded with horizontal eyebrows: "Stinky little fool, you are usually very smart, why can't you figure out why Youli gave up the title of Oiran for you?" Youli said, you will definitely be a great character in the future, and if you fight for the title of Oiran, it will hinder you. ”

Uncle and grandson Fangwu is a person who has come over, and naturally knows the mentality of gains and losses between lovers, no matter how smart you are, but when it comes to lovers, he can't help but think about the bad side. Now that everything has passed, he won't say it, and the sourness of this will be experienced by the lovers themselves.

Xu Ruyu opened his teary eyes, looked at Youli's shy face, and asked, "What's in my way, hasn't Youli always wanted to get the title of Oiran?" ”

The red and misty attached to Youli's neck and face, Liubo Meimu glared at Xu Ruyu angrily, and did not say a word, and then laughed out loud, and said angrily: "A lot of thought is used on your wooden lump." ”

This is the first time that Youli has said affectionate words to himself, Xu Ruyu is extremely useful, and God bestows the soul, saying: "Youli is afraid that after marrying me, my reputation will be damaged, right?" ”

Jue'er said: "Look at your smug appearance." You haven't explained anything about Shui Ruying, don't think about getting past it like this. ”

Xu Ruyu looked scared and said, "The eldest wife hasn't asked yet, but the younger wife has come to ask, will I have the lowest status on the flower boat in the future?" ”

Jue'er squinted her eyes and said, "What do you think?" You have been gone for a year, and your uncle and grandson are the most tired, and now he is on vacation, and you will take care of all the chores of the boat. Hey, you haven't said anything about the water like a shadow, and you want to miss the conversation. ”

For a while, he returned to the intimate scene a year ago, and Youli also looked at Xu Ruyu with interest to see how he answered.

Xu Ruyu stretched out his hands and feet, coughed, and said in a low voice: "You must know about my brave deeds in Yongyang City, in fact, I am very scared in my heart, in order to tell Gongliang Youqin that I am not afraid of him, I invited Shui Ruying to the city tower to play the piano and strengthen my courage." In fact, when she played the piano, I always had the sound of Sister Youli in my heart. ”

Jue'er asked: "Why don't you do a good Yongyang Lieutenant, let people rumor that you are living in seclusion with Shui Ruying." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I stayed in Yongyang for two months, and if you don't come to me, you will come to you." But now if you want to be Mrs. Duwei, you can only find someone else, and I'm just a flower boat boy now. ”

Xu Ruyu stretched his arm up, yawned, and said sleepily, "I'm going to sleep." ”

When the Dan Breath Technique reaches the level of Xu Ruyu, it only takes a little meditation to replenish energy. However, the joy brought to him by meeting Youli again made him experience the extreme emotion of ordinary people, and this extreme emotional experience made him "Dao Zesheng" Xuan Gong enter the realm of casual surname, and naturally sprouted sleepiness.

When Xu Ruyu woke up, the afterglow of the sunset was shining on Youli's beautiful face, and the conversation between Huo Qingtong and Jue'er came from the front cabin.

Xu Ru looked at Youli stupidly for a while, the two looked at each other, and their hearts were confused, Youli was ashamed and wanted to turn his face away, but he was reluctant to feel this wonderful feeling, and unconsciously reached out to shake Xu Ruyu's outstretched hand.

Xu Ruyu said: "I said how did I wake up, it turned out that my rival in love is here, bring the guy, don't stop me, let me out?" ”

Youli "giggled", reached out to press his face, and didn't want to kiss his palm lightly, the palm of his hand was like a thunderbolt, and it instantly spread to his heart, his spirit rippled, and his eyes were blurred.

Women are the most beautiful when they are emotional, not to mention a woman like Jiang Youli who is overwhelmed. Xu Ruyu moved inward, asked Youli to lie down with his head, and whispered in her ear: "Would it be good to let Uncle Sun officiate the wedding for us in a few days?" ”

Youli's heart fluttered, and he hugged Xu Ruyu's tiger waist tightly, and his chest was wet with tears.

When Jue'er pushed open the hatch and came in, "oh" Ran exclaimed, with a surprised look on her face, and pointed to the two of them "oh" for a long time, Fang said: "I just discussed with my uncle and grandson at noon to marry you in a few days, I didn't think you would be able to stay up for a while......"

Youli blushed shyly, wiped away her tears, and scolded with a smile: "See if I don't tear your nonsense mouth." ”

Jue'er giggled and avoided it, and said, "You have to pretend to be sick, but you just smiled so springily, and the eldest son of Huo became suspicious, so I asked you to go out." ”

Youli said mischievously to Xu Ruyu: "You will come up with tea, do you know?" ”

Xu Ruyu frowned exaggeratedly and said, "You're not afraid that I will put something else in his tea?" ”

Youli giggled, ignored him, and went back to her room to make up her makeup.

The news of Xu Ruyu's return to the flower boat, Huo Qingtong has been reported, seeing him come out with tea, he glanced at it, and said to Jiang Youli, who was covered with a light veil: "I heard in the morning that the little guy who has been missing from Guifang for a year has returned to the flower boat, it is really worth celebrating, why don't you let me set a table in the Xianzui Pavilion?" ”

"Don't dare to bother Huo Gongzi, Youli came out to say goodbye to the prince, these months have been taken care of by the prince, and it is said that Huafang is about to leave his arms."

Huo Qingtong was stunned there, his tongue stammered, he couldn't say a complete sentence, and after a while, he got up and said "farewell", and left in a hurry.

When Huo Qingtong left in despair, Xu Ruyu said: "Hurry up and lift the anchor and get out of the city before it gets dark." ”

Everyone was puzzled, Xu Ruyu sighed, and said: "The rival in love is very red when he sees each other, at that time I hated him and wanted to swallow him alive, thinking that he lost to me such an inconspicuous little guy, the hatred in my heart was even worse, and when he came to his senses, he didn't boil me into meat soup and drink." ”

When they saw that he was funny, they were happy, but they also realized that the situation was serious, and the five of them took a flower boat out of the city overnight.
