242 Invitation

Xiao Buyi walked out of the camp, frowned slightly, just thinking about who was behind the screen, he and Liang Yanniang and the others did not reach the level of trying to see the dagger, so they did not expose the person behind the screen, but in Xiao Buyi's intuition, this person was definitely not Lu Mingyue.

Of course, he didn't expect that behind the screen was Yuan Tiangang!

If he knew Yuan Tiangang, of course he would understand more things, and it seems that many things have been explained in the south and in Huanyang, after Luoshui attacked, Li Chunfeng stayed in the Eastern Capital, and it was not surprising that he knew the woman in black, although An Jiatuo died, Yuan Tiangang knew the details of Xiao Buyi better, or from the moment he went down to Jiangnan to make a vow, the Taiping Daoists had already paid close attention to Xiao Buyi's behavior and arranged actions.

But even if he didn't know that Yuan Tiangang had something to do with the Supreme King, he also understood that now he and Taiping Dao had long been entangled and disconnected.

Things were as he expected, Taiping Dao knew that he was a heavenly opportunity, and he did not leave any difficulties, and Taiping Dao had no intention of meeting him with a sword.

After all, it is rare for the heavenly machine to appear once, and it is even more difficult to find than the book of heaven, according to Xiao Buyi's understanding, Taiping Dao should cherish the heavenly machine very much. Xiao Buyi understands better that these people pay attention to themselves, and they must have unspeakable calculations, and most of them still want to win themselves over. After seeing what the Supreme King had done, Xiao Buyi felt that he really had no common language with them, and he couldn't be so cruel and unscrupulous.

Turning straight back to Liu Xiong's tent, Xiao Buyi beckoned Ah Rust to leave.

When Liu Xiong saw that he was leaving, he didn't even ask a word, but he looked at him with awe. After all, among the tens of thousands of thieves, there are not many who can see the Supreme King.

Xiao Buyi took Ah Rust out of the camp, as if entering a no-man's land, the thieves did not dare to stop him, after all, he came out of the camp of the Supreme King and was contaminated with mystery. The Supreme King is mysterious and rarely seen, but it is precisely because of this that he can attract others to cling to him.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Ah Rust lowered his voice and said, "Boss Xiao, what happened, I always feel that something is wrong, but fortunately, you are safe and sound." ”

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly: "Things have become very complicated, it is definitely not what I thought it would be, but fortunately, you and I are fine." ”

Ah Rust pouted and said: "Boss Xiao, I am nobody, except for you, who else will take it to heart, if there is something, you don't have to pay attention to me." By the way, what do we do now? ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Go find Yang Yichen." ”

In order to avoid the thieves being frightened, the two did not go straight forward, and made a detour to the west, preparing to cross the Yongji Canal, and then go up the river, and then turn back to Yang Yichen's camp. The two of them went around the mountains and soon arrived at the Yongji Canal River, looking for ferries, and found that there were fewer scattered thieves and fewer ferries, presumably to avoid bandits, and the boatmen were not nearby, and the waterway traffic was almost cut off.

Xiao Buyi went down the river to look for the boat, and Ah Rust suddenly pointed out: "Boss, look. ”

A small boat is floating in the river, Xiao Buyi is overjoyed, stretching out his hand to beckon, the boat rows over lightly, the boatman with a hat, shouting from afar: "Do you cross the river?" Seeing the two nodding, the boatman shouted again, "Five taels of silver each." ”

Ah Rust was furious and shouted: "Your grandmother's, five taels of silver to cross the river, you might as well go and grab it!" ”

In today's troubled times, most of the people are not engaged in production, prices are soaring, and the five-baht money is far less valuable than when Xiao Buyi arrived.

In the past two years, bandits have been rampant, and the people have begun to mint a large number of copper coins privately, mixing some other easy-to-see metals in the copper coins, and even cutting off a dime as currency, which has led to poor currency circulation and a sharp depreciation of the five-baht coin. At this time, bartering flourished again, and accumulating expensive items such as gold, silver, jewelry, and soft was often done by some wealthy people.

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, in this boat, it's really on the knife edge, the surname is worrying, and the asking price of five taels is nothing." But I don't have any silver, so will gold do? ”

He reached into his bosom and took out a small ingot of gold, the sun was shining, quite tempting, much more valuable than ten taels of silver.

"It's still this son who is reasonable." When the boatman saw the gold, his eyes lit up, and he quickly moved the pulp like a divine help, and soon approached the shore.

The two jumped on the boat, only to find that the boatman had thick eyebrows and a long face, and he was actually good. In the summer weather, the man wore only a sleeveless short-placket green shirt with his arms, although the clothes were old, they were still clean, revealing the knotted muscles, but the skin was white.

Xiao Buyi muttered: "At the end of the canal is an outstanding person, and a boatman is also a dignified person. ”

When the boatman heard Xiao Buyi's self-talk, he grinned, revealing his white teeth, "The guest officer said that he laughed, I am a rough person, what kind of appearance can I be, and the guest officer is such a person." ”

Ah Rust said impatiently: "Can this ship go straight to Liang County?" ”

Of course he didn't go to Liangjun, he was just deliberately embarrassed, and wanted to bargain, the boatman shook his head, "Then who dares to go up, now that bandits are rampant, the two armies are fighting, and those who have a little way to survive are fleeing for their lives to other places, but, alas, where is there a way to survive in this world?" ”

Xiao Buyi heard him sigh, his eyebrows tightened, and he smiled: "With Your Excellency's temperament, you will not worry about living anywhere!" ”

The boatman squinted at Xiao Buyi and said, "I can only send you to the other side and bring the gold." ”

Before Ah Rust could argue, Xiao Buyi had already handed over the gold ingot, sat down cross-legged on the tip of the boat, "Let's start the boat." ”

The boatman took the gold ingot, took a bite, looked a little surprised, and asked, "Guest officer, where did you get this gold?" ”

"It's not robbed." Ah Rust said in a rough voice.

The boatman smiled and said: "The direction you came from is where the Supreme King is, and most of them are also with them. ”

As he spoke, he had already carried the pulp into the water, and with a flick of it, the boat sailed off the shore and rowed to the opposite shore.

Xiao Buyi looked at his actions and pondered in his heart, this person is full of martial arts, and he is a boatman here, but he is afraid that he has other plans.

Ah Rust couldn't look at the boatman, and snorted coldly: "If we are with the Supreme King, aren't you afraid that we will kill you on the other side and rob your gold by the way?" ”

The boatman squinted at Ah Rust, "I'm just afraid that you don't have this ability." ”

As he spoke, the boat had reached the deep water, and seeing the boatman's eyes flickering, Xiao Buyi suddenly said: "Ah Rust, how many times have I told you, our Yangtze River Pisces arrived in Huaibei, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, don't fight and kill at every turn, if you want to make a name for yourself, the most important thing is to convince people with virtue." ”

Ah Rust was slightly stunned, and without waiting for an answer, the boatman looked Xiao Buyi up and down, "Does the guest officer also know water?" ”

Xiao Buyi laughed, "Have you ever seen a fish that can't swim?" Boatman, you can't swim in the water, if you fall into the water, I can save you, don't panic. ”

Ah Rust wanted to laugh and held back, knowing Xiao Buyi's intentions. They are not good roads, and the same is true of the boatman, since this person wants money like a robbery, seeing Xiao Buyi's generosity, he may not be able to do it when he reaches the river, and if he overturns the boat, everyone has to go to the river to wash. Although Xiao Buyi was not afraid, he was too lazy to bother, and he just wanted to get to the other side safely.

"Have you ever seen a boatman who doesn't know how to water?" The boatman replied coldly, not receiving Xiao Buyi's kindness, "Yangtze River Pisces? He muttered to himself, a puzzled look on his face, "I've never heard of it." ”

He looked a little hesitant, and his paddling hand slowed down, but Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I don't know the ship's surname?" ”

The boatman said casually: "The surname is Su." ”

Kept looking at Xiao Buyi, the boatman hesitated, and finally rowed to the opposite bank, Xiao Buyi thanked him, and Ah Rust jumped to the opposite bank, didn't take a few steps, the footsteps behind him were hurried, the two of them turned around, saw that the boatman was already standing with a pulp, looked at them and sneered, "Yangtze River Pisces, wait a while." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and whistled, and the sharp voice came from far away, Xiao Buyi knew that he was mostly looking for helpers, and turned his mind, but he didn't know which way he was.

But in any case, this person should not be with the Supreme King, just because if the Supreme King wants to do it, there is no need to be so troublesome, and he can do it in the camp, and the chance of winning is greater.

He saw that this person was fierce, his eyes were blazing, his hands and feet were long, his body was full of energy, and he was a good hand, thinking that this person was by no means a nameless person, if it wasn't for the Supreme King's gang, there would be a bandit like him in Huaibei?

Seeing Xiao Buyi frowning, the boat family didn't panic, and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?" ”

He waited for Xiao Buyi for a long time, and then he wanted to make a move on the boat, capsizing the boat and catching the two, but when he heard Xiao Buyi's self-registration number called the Yangtze River Pisces, he hesitated a little. His surname is not bad, but if the boat capsizes, it is not easy to catch the two in the water. I thought that Xiao Buyi would run away when I greeted a helper, but I didn't expect that he didn't know whether he was stupid or just as fearless, but he still talked and laughed.

"I'm wondering if you'll call the boat lady over and make us dinner." Xiao Buyi smiled dumbly.

The boatman snorted coldly, "Yangtze River Pisces, if you know each other, you will wait a while, I will not make it difficult for you, I just want to ask you a few questions, if you don't know each other, I will paddle one by one, and let you become fish sauce." ”

"What do you want to ask?" Xiao Buyi was very strange, "How can we be coerced by you?" ”

The boatman was stunned, "Good boy, are you still bluffing me?" Fang Cai is still the Yangtze River double fish, and now it has become the Changbai double tiger, amphibious? ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "There are fish in the water, tigers on land, and dragons in the sky, which can change at any time." ”

When the boatman saw him talking and laughing freely, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and realized that Xiao Buyi was by no means easy to match.

"I don't know what you want to ask me, I can answer you without waiting for your companion to come." Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "But I have one condition, I want to know who the boat family is, with a high surname?" I've seen a lot of robbers, but it's rare to see a robber as reasonable as you, and I'd like to get to know them. ”

The boatman snorted coldly: "It's not too late for you to answer my question first, have you seen the Supreme King?" ”

Xiao Buyi was very strange, thinking that although he saw the Supreme King, although it was not a secret thing, he had just left the camp, and this person knew that it was really a strange thing.

Suddenly, he noticed someone approaching silently, standing not far behind him, and there was no movement. It's just a faint fragrance, it turned out to be a woman, Xiao Buyi's mind was racing, and he suddenly laughed, "Red line girl, if you want to find me, you can just come straight to me, what are you doing with so many twists and turns?" ”

The boatman's face changed slightly, and he looked behind Xiao Buyi, and before Xiao Buyi was about to turn around, the boatman had already stepped forward and poked Xiao Buyi's chest with his oars.

Although the oars were not sharp, he slammed them with great force, and if they reached the chest, most of the opponent's sternums would break a few of them.

Xiao Buyi had already taken precautions, Huo Ran made a move, and he had already grabbed the oar. The boatman was shocked, his hands were forced, and suddenly there was a 'click' sound, and the sturdy wooden oar was broken into two pieces by the two, the boatman staggered back, Xiao Buyi did not pursue, Huo Ran raised his knife to block it.

With the sound of 'dang', the sword stabbed his scabbard impartially, and he blocked the light spirit with his heavy weight, which was really casual and eclectic. The sword momentum was blocked, Xiao Buyi reversed the scabbard, used it as a gong, and smashed the sword body.

A coquettish cry came out, the long sword flew into the air, and a woman flew up, grabbed the long sword, and when it fell to the ground, she took two steps back and looked at Xiao Buyi in disbelief.

The woman was dressed in a light yellow shirt, delicate and bright, with autumn waves, and her eyes were full of surprise when she looked at Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi saw that the woman was the girl called the red line, but he understood a little, and the red line wanted to form an alliance with the Supreme King, and finally walked away, and when he saw him go to see the Supreme King, he would ask. Although the boatman is not chaotic, he is also a good hand.

Losing the oars in his hand, Xiao Buyi sighed: "Red Line girl, you and I don't seem to have any grievances, why do you see each other with swords?" ”

"Who are you?" Red Line asked in surprise.

"Who are you?" Xiao Buyi asked rhetorically.

Hongxian frowned slightly, and without waiting for an answer, the boatman shouted: "I don't care who your kid is, if you break my oars, you must pay for it." ”

"Who do you think you are,." Ah Rust sneered: "Provoke our boss to take action and eradicate your bandits' den." ”

Xiao Buyi said in his heart, who said that he might not be able to make it clear in a day, stopped Ah Rust, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't think the red line girl wants to kill me, but I want to know something." In this case, even if you ask, you will know everything. ”

"Have you ever seen the Supreme King?" Red Line blurted out.

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, "I did see a person claiming to be the Supreme King, and I saw a bronze mirror screen, but I wasn't sure who that person was." ”

"Bronze mirror screen?" Red Line frowned and said, "What's that?" ”

When Xiao Buyi thought about it, he could only shake his head, "It's just the same as a mirror, but it's as big as a screen." ”

The boatman frowned and said, "Miss, this kid is talking nonsense, he's lying to you, how can there be such a big bronze mirror?" Grinding to make a screen, ridiculous. ”

Hongxian didn't pay attention to the bronze mirror screen, and thought for a while, "Why did the Supreme King look for you?" I think Liang Junshi is also quite important to you? ”

"They want to find me, maybe they want to join hands with me, maybe they just want me to be their supreme king." Xiao Buyi said with a smile.

The boatman's face was angry, obviously thinking that Xiao Buyi was ridiculing, and the red line signaled him not to act rashly, looking Xiao Buyi up and down, "The prince is arrogant and upright, but the supreme king is sinister and unnecessary, and the prince must have rejected their request?" ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "That's true, the Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other." I rejected them, and left the camp of the Supreme King, but I didn't expect to meet you here, I said everything I should have said, and I didn't dare to ask the young lady and the hero's surname? ”

The boatman sneered: "You should have said everything, but it's all fart." Seeing that your milk stinks and they want to join forces with you, what are you capable of? You rejected them, and with the means of the Supreme King, you could easily let you go? ”

"Didn't this red-line girl leave safely?" Xiao Buyi heard the boatman's ridicule, but he was not annoyed.

"How can you kid compare to the red line?" The boatman stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Miss, I see that his words are untrue, catch him down and ask him well." ”

The red line pondered for a long time before saying, "General Su, hold off on your move." After hesitation, the red line said, "This son, I see that your martial arts are really extraordinary, you are steady, and you should be a great talent." For example, today's smoke is everywhere, and the Dog Emperor goes south, destroys the Great Wall, and abandons the country. At this moment, it is the time for us to rise up, since the son does not want to be in the same stream as the supreme king, he must also be in the same way as his father. If the son is interested, why don't you join hands with us to participate in righteous deeds and seek great causes? ”

Although she and Xiao Buyi have only met a few times, it is not for nothing that they meet to win over, just because with her intuition, she always feels that this person is very strange.

When they first met, this person was just a minion, who was killed by Liu Heimin and scurried around, but when they met again, he actually got Liang Yanniang's weight, and Liang Yanniang did not hesitate to deceive her and took this kid to see the Supreme King.

Fang just competed in martial arts, General Su and himself joined forces, but he was still forced to retreat, this person's martial arts should be unfathomable. Dominating in troubled times, or superior in martial arts, or scheming, his shameless behavior of the supreme king, took advantage of Liang Yanniang's mistake of deception and resolutely left, although he knew that his father would not blame, but after all, he went in vain. If you lose the east corner, you can harvest the mulberry elm, and it may be a good thing to be able to join hands with this person. Although she didn't believe what Xiao Buyi said to make him the supreme king, she intuitively understood that this person had some ability.

She didn't expect that the person in front of her was actually the subordinate of the Dog Emperor in her mouth, no matter what, she just wanted to win it over. Besides, since this person has something to do with the Supreme King, how could she have thought that he would be the great enemy of the Supreme King.

When the boat family heard this, he didn't say anything sarcastic for the first time, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he said in his heart that this kid is not bad, and his martial arts are strong, but he always feels like a smiling tiger, but if he joins the gang, he should also focus on the overall situation.

"Then I don't know where the red line girl is?" Xiao Buyi asked curiously.

Hongxian hesitated, and finally said: "My surname is Dou, called Dou Hongxian, my father Zhangnan Dou Jiande, is now holding high the banner of righteousness in Hebei and Shandong, I don't know if the son has heard of it?" This is General Su Dingfang in front of his father's tent. This time, General Su and I went south, and we wanted to join hands with the Supreme King to conspire with us, but first, their actions did not match ours, and second, they had no intention of ...... us."

Speaking of this, the red line frowned, but he was thinking, now rumors are spreading in the Central Plains, what did the Li family say last year as the son of heaven, Yang Guang used this as an excuse to kill and exile hundreds of Li valves in the eastern capital, and afterwards everyone felt that this was a rumor released by Yang Guang himself, and the purpose was to deal with Li Valve. Later, it came out that the sky was dead, and the yellow sky was standing, which made people panic. From north to south, I heard rumors about peach and plum in Kyoto, I don't know if it's true or not, but the queen's words around Yangzhou seem to be far-sighted, and I don't know which master made it. But my father knew a secret, that is, the Supreme King was originally a person in the Taiping Dao. Taiping Dao's prophecy is the most accurate, which made her and Su Dingfang go south to contact the Supreme King, but the Supreme King is lukewarm to the famous Dou Jiande, doesn't the true Son of Heaven have nothing to do with his father?

If in the past, everyone rebelled just because they had no way to live and were forced to be helpless, but Yang Guang went south, everything changed, and the old lords of the righteous army began to speed up the pace of recruiting troops, and they were of course no exception. I don't know who is in charge of the country, but we all understand that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ah Rust opened his mouth wide, and said in his heart My mother, dare to love and be a big bandit leader, these gods used to listen to others, where did they think of the recent encounters one after another.

Xiao Buyi was also a little surprised, "It turned out to be Dou Gong's subordinate, I have admired the name for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet." ”

"I don't know the name of the son, can you give me advice?" Dou Hongxian treats each other frankly, explains his intentions, and has expectations.

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "My name is Xiao Buyi, but I have no time now, if I have time, I will definitely go to visit Dou Gong." ”

"Xiao Buyi?" Su Dingfang frowned, "Very familiar name......

When Dou Hongxian heard these three words, he took three steps back, and said with a pale face: "You are Xiao Buyi?" ”

Su Dingfang suddenly thought of something, Huo Ran was shocked, flashed in front of Dou Hongxian, held the broken oar and shouted: "You are the dog general Xiao Buyi under the Dog Emperor?!" ”

The scolding of his dog emperor and general Dog could not hide the horror in his heart, and he was even more surprised by Xiao Buyi's youth. Now on both sides of the Yellow River, the border of the East China Sea is spread the name Xiao Buyi, this name has been engraved in the hearts of everyone like a spell, indelible, just because he is the most legendary person in the Great Sui.

This person's fame rose quickly, making people dizzy, after the first battle of Yanmen became famous, he successively defeated Lishan Fei by thunderous means, subdued Wagang, and made the group of thieves stunned.

became famous, and naturally some people exaggerated it, saying that Xiao Buyi was either a god or a ghost. Su Dingfang and Dou Hongxian knew that although Xiao Buyi was like a dragon in the clouds, they didn't know it, but the bits and pieces in their memories were also shocking.

In addition to defeating the giant thieves, I heard that he used to be clothed, started as a school scholar, overturned the famous Yuwen family, and replaced the Yu culture and location, and then went south to inspect, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Zhang Jincheng and others were greatly injured, and the slump in the past six months was all from this person's handwriting, and now the Central Plains thieves are as afraid of him as Zhang Xutuo, but the two never thought that the gentle and smiling young man in front of them was Xiao Buyi who talked about the tiger in the mouth of the group of thieves.

Thinking of what he said if he had time, he would definitely visit, Dou Hongxian secretly gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that this person spoke with great meaning, he said this, that is, the next target of the attack was her father, she just wanted to win over, but she didn't think of provoking fire.

Xiao Buyi still smiled, "I'm not a dog general, Da Sui doesn't have this official title, I'm the right general of the Wei Mansion." ”

Su Dingfang shouted angrily, thinking that he was deliberately teasing and poked with a broken oar, Dou Hongxian no longer hesitated, and said in his heart that since this person was going to attack his father, he should be the first to strike, and take advantage of his loneliness to eradicate the big trouble. Seeing Su Dingfang attacking head-on, she jumped up lightly, stabbed with her sword, and her yellow shirt fluttered, like a butterfly flying.

The two of them suddenly made a move, like thunder, and suddenly saw the cold light flashing in front of them, Su Dingfang's hand was light, and the broken oar had become only an inch, but Dou Hongxian was struggling to block, only hearing two 'clicks', and only the hilt of the sword in his hand was left. Both of them were shocked and retreated, Xiao Buyi returned the knife into the sheath, and said with a smile: "There is something else to do next, and I will not accompany him again." ”

When he had finished speaking, he turned and walked up the river, followed closely by Ah Rust.

Dou Hongxian Su Dingfang glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's surprised looks.

"He's just gone?" Su Dingfang was a little puzzled.

Dou Hongxian was also at a loss, stretched out his hand to brush his hair, and was about to say something, but he only heard two 'ding' sounds, looked down, and his face changed slightly.

What fell from the ground was the hosta in her hair, but it had been broken in two. Xiao Buyi just made a move to cut off the hosta on her head, it was really more difficult than cutting off her head, Dou Hongxian looked at the hosta, and couldn't help but be in a daze, Su Dingfang also figured this out, gasped and said: "This kid, you are amazing?!" ”

(To be continued)
