In Luoyang City, there are few people who know Liu Ziqiu, and in order to avoid attracting attention, Li Jing and his wife did not come to the dock to see them off. Liu Ziqiu not only knew the person who came on horseback, but also dealt with him.

This person is dressed in military uniform, beating horses like flying, it is Qin Shubao.

Liu Ziqiu's heart tightened, and then he saw that there were no soldiers behind him, so he made up his mind.

After hesitating, Qin Shubao had already approached, and he pulled the reins violently, and Na Ma Xi let out a long hiss, and the person stood up. Qin Shubao immediately clenched his fist towards Zhang Sanyi and asked eagerly, "Boat family, but you want to go south?" ”

Zhang San hurriedly laughed and said, "Master Huijun, this ship is about to go to Jiangdu." ”

Qin Shubao turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "Can you take a certain ride?" A certain mother is seriously ill and wants to make it convenient. ”

Only then did Liu Ziqiu know that it was just a false alarm.

On the edge of the cliff that day, Liu Ziqiu remembered Qin Shubao's appearance, and he himself was masked, how could Qin Shubao recognize it. Besides, the matter of Shanglin Yuan had already been decided, and Qin Shubao would not associate the merchant in front of him with the assassin.

This year, the weather in the north is very cold, it is only early winter, the river has a thin layer of ice, many boats have stopped running, Zhang San also plans to return to Jiangdu and not go north. Unless someone offers a large price that cannot be refused, no one wants to sail in the cold winter, so Qin Shubao is extremely anxious.

Without waiting for Zhang San to speak, Liu Ziqiu had already waved his hand and said, "Boatman, let him come up." ”

Qin Shubao was very grateful, and hurriedly led the horse to Liu Ziqiu, and said: "Under Qin Shubao, he is a guard under the command of the general. Today, I came in a hurry from the army, and I didn't bring any property, and I dared to ask my brother Taizun's name, and he would be grateful in the future! ”

"What a lot of effort!" Liu Ziqiu didn't know his name, so he turned around and took Gao Xiu'er to the boat.

This is exactly where Liu Ziqiu is smart. The peddlers and pawns all belong to the bottom of society, but Qin Shubao is only a soldier now, not even a general. But Liu Ziqiu has already entered the ranks of wealthy businessmen, and if he wants, he can buy a house and land at any time and become a local tyrant and squire. In this case, if he deliberately makes friends, he will arouse suspicion.

It is very rude not to know the name, but it is also in line with the characteristics of "nouveau riche". If it falls into the eyes of the villain, he can't help but feel that Liu Ziqiu is a little arrogant. But Qin Shubao doesn't see it that way, he knows that others are giving favors and don't expect to reciprocate.

The boat slowly sailed away from the dock, and Liu Ziqiu and the ladies entered the cabin. Ah An and Ah Fu guarded the hatch on the left and the right, but Ah Fu and Ah Gui stood at the bow and stern of the ship, staring at the sailors working. It was inconvenient for Qin Shubao to break into the cabin, so he took an opportunity to ask Ah Fu. It's just that these house slaves are tight-lipped and refuse to reveal any information about their masters. Qin Shubao was helpless, and went to ask Zhang San again. Zhang San didn't know anything about it, but he only heard that the family's surname was Liu, and he was from Yanguan County, Yuhang County.

The northwest wind rose, and the boat traveled very fast, quite a feeling of a thousand miles in a day. Gradually, it was dusk, the snow was clear, and a red sun hung in the west. Suddenly, Zhang San's shouting was heard, and the sailors got busy, retracting their sails and landing on the shore.

Qin Shubao returned to his heart like an arrow, and asked repeatedly: "Boat family, the sun is still early, why don't you leave?" ”

"There are no people for dozens of miles ahead, I am afraid that there are thieves infested, how can I do it?"

"There is a certain here, why not be afraid of a few thieves!"

Zhang San sneered: "This ship is the life of a certain person, how can it be lost!" The employer's family and the female dependents follow, how can you be alone! ”

Qin Shubao was speechless for a while, but he heard a "plop" sound. Everyone became nervous, looked around, and saw Agui take off his clothes and said loudly: "Don't panic, my brother will go and get some fish and shrimp for the master for supper." ”

After speaking, Agui also plunged into the water.

After a cup of tea, Ah Fu first emerged from the water, raised his hands high, and a big fish in his hands shook its tail desperately, which was more than two feet long. Hearing the sound of "bang" again, Agui also burst out of the water, and his face was quite depressed. He also held a large fish in his hand, but it was slightly smaller than Afu's.

Kunlun Nu came from the South Seas, from the stormy waves, a small canal is of course not a problem. But because it is from the south, it is difficult to adapt to the severe cold in the north, and many Kunlun slaves in Luoyang City die every year because of the water and soil. At this time, although the canal was not frozen, the river water was also biting cold, but the two Kunlun slaves were endless, obviously both of whom were armed with martial arts.

The two Kunlun slaves deliberately showed off in front of their masters, and they were very hot when they saw it, and secretly planned to buy a few such Kunlun slaves when they had saved enough money, so that they could even save money for hiring sailors. But soon he was deflated. A young and sturdy Kunlun slave like this is worth more than fifty yuan, which is enough to be worth a boat. If it weren't for the eldest grandson Wuji rewarding him with a silver ingot, he still can't afford to change the boat, and he has to save enough money to buy Kunlun slaves, I don't know what year and month it will take.

Uncle Qin Baozhong has been in Beijing for a long time, and he knows that big families like to use Kunlun slaves, but there are very few Kunlun slaves with unique skills like this, and their value is very amazing. The two Kunlun slaves guarding outside the hatch can gain the trust of their masters, but they are afraid that they are still above them.

These four Kunlun slaves were originally warriors of a small tribe in Nanyang, and in a war with a tribe much stronger than them, they were outnumbered and became captives, and together with many other captives, they traveled across the ocean to the Great Sui and were sold as slaves. The four of them had eaten an astonishing amount of food, but since the day they became prisoners of war, they had not eaten enough, so that they were so hungry that they were yellow and thin, and they could not sell them for half a year in the hands of human tooth dealers. However, these Kunlun slaves are extremely smart, and they can learn Chinese and all kinds of work as soon as they learn it, but the dealers are not willing to reduce the price.

Liu Ziqiu bought his mother, and suddenly found that although these Kunlun slaves were sluggish, their eyes were extremely sharp, so he paid to buy them. Who would have thought that as soon as they had eaten a few full meals, they would be alive and well. This was completely a coincidence, Liu Ziqiu later went back to the market a few times, but he couldn't find the fifth one.

Qin Shubao didn't know the story here, just looking at Kunlun Nu's skills, he felt that Liu Ziqiu was by no means an ordinary businessman, at least he should be a strong party. Such a person would never care about a few boat fares, Qin Shubao couldn't help but put away the idea of paying the ship fare in the future, but his desire to repay the favor was not reduced at all.

In a few more days, the ship sailed to the boundary of Qi County. Qin Shubao felt that there was a huge disparity in status with Liu Ziqiu, and he was not qualified to resign to him, so he said hello to Zhang San and the others, and led him ashore.

"Wait!" I saw Ah Fu, who was guarding outside the cabin door, rushing over, holding a cloth bag in his hand, bowing down and saying, "My master heard that Ling Tang is seriously ill, and the military master is not carrying money. There are one hundred taels of silver here, which are given to the military master, and it is also good to delay the medicine for Lingtang. I hope that the military master will not refuse. ”

Qin Shubao's eyes flashed with surprise, he took the cloth bag casually, arched his hand towards the boat, got on the horse and whipped away.

"What kind of person, you can't even say thank you!" Zhang San pursed his lips disdainfully and pushed the boat to the shore with a long penny. How did he know that in Qin Shubao's heart, how could such a favor be repaid with the word "thanks"?

Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiu'er also walked out of the cabin and stood side by side at the bow of the boat. On the edge of the cliff that day, Gao Xiu'er didn't see Qin Shubao's appearance clearly, but remembered his name. In the cabin for the past few days, Gao Xiu'er was extremely cautious and did not dare to mention this matter, for fear of revealing the secret and being detected by Qin Shubao.

At this time, Qin Shubao's figure gradually disappeared into the dust, and Gao Xiu'er whispered: "He was the first to catch up with the cliff that day." If he hadn't been in hot pursuit, we might not have had to jump off the cliff. Why did Lang Jun give him gold and silver? ”

"He's just doing his job." Liu Ziqiu said with a smile, "If you don't jump off the cliff, where did you come from?" ”

The boat continued to the south, and saw that the Tongji Canal was a ditch, and Zhang San began to blow the conch with the sailors, telling the story of Liu Ziqiu's vicious fight against the water invaders a few months ago. Of course, the story is also indispensable for his heroism and command. Every time he passed by, he told the story, and the sailors listened to it with great interest. Zhang San didn't know that the hero of the story was standing behind him.

There are many exaggerated and bizarre places in the story, Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiuer just looked at each other and smiled when they heard it, and they didn't break it.

After a few days, the boat arrived at Jiangdu. Without bothering the two masters, Liu Ziqiu added some money and asked Zhang San to send them across the Yangtze River and abandon the boat to land in Yanling County. Yanling is today's Zhenjiang, and from here to Yanguan, you need to pass through Biling County and Wu County, and you will inevitably have to hire some carriages and horses. Liu Ziqiu is now wealthy, so he simply bought a few good horses in the city, set a carriage, and then set off south.

In early winter, snow has begun to fall in the north, and the leaves of the trees in the south of the Yangtze River have begun to wither, and the four fields are golden. Gao Xiuer lifted the curtain and looked out. Now far away from the Eastern Capital, Gao Xiuer has also recovered her original appearance, her pretty face is always full of happy smiles, and she has completely walked out of the grief of her father's unjust and tragic death.

Liu Ziqiu suddenly remembered something and said, "Xiu'er, you grew up in the north since you were a child, I'm afraid you don't like the climate in the south. When I see Yuan Tiangang, but my thoughts, let's go to Luoyang City to buy a house, how about it? ”

"My mother is a native of Jiangnan." Gao Xiu'er only thought about being with Liu Ziqiu, where did she care about the south or the north, "However, Lang Jun said that I would go with me wherever I went." ”

It was the first time Liu Ziqiu heard Gao Xiu'er mention her mother, and she wanted to ask what was going on, but when she saw that Gao Xiu'er had already lowered the curtains, she didn't pay attention to it.

……

Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and after a bumpy journey, the convoy finally arrived at Changshan Village on the bank of the Qiantang River. At this time, it was the third day of the winter month, and the cold wind from the north finally blew here, and the newly planted small trees around the village were already bare, and there were few leaves missing.

Liu Ziqiu remembered that it was only the end of summer when he first came, and it was already winter in a blink of an eye. In the past four months, a lot of things have happened, I have experienced happiness, I have experienced life and death, and now I am back here.

"Drive!" Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and rode into the village, but felt that the atmosphere in the village was a little weird, and there were faint crying.
