Chapter 10: Turmoil at Sea

Looking at the sea in the wind, the trip to the sea has been more than ten days, Xue Lin has not done anything else in the past few days, only often quietly gazing at the distant sea of clouds and waves in front of the ship, the sea and the sky are the same, this natural beauty is really refreshing, and the troubles in my heart seem to be gone.

The boat boss is a small leader affiliated with the Yangtze River Society, which is a small sect that begs for a living at sea, and is jointly formed by dozens of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, in order to gather their own strength together to have more ways to survive in this troubled world.

They are also doing well, because they only do some groceries that sell goods from the south to the north, and pay tribute to some of the local heroes who really have strength, but they are also quite good, and they generally sail on the sea, and hang a small flag of the Yangtze River Society can avoid a lot of trouble, but occasionally encounter some small pirates who don't know the inside story and the like will inevitably fight, all in all, the Yangtze River will be an ordinary person who survives in the cracks of this troubled world, and the gap between those who really have the strength of the local heroes is too far, but it is also a little powerful.

The boat boss is an eight-sided delicate character, although he doesn't know Xue Lin, but he looks at his good demeanor, and is quite polite to him, occasionally catching some fish and shrimp in the sea, so he made it and sent a copy to Xue Lin, although Xue Lin is not good at these, but he can't bear the enthusiasm of the boat boss, and occasionally sit and talk with them.

Most of the sailors on the ship are ordinary sailors, and there is only one person who goes to other places with Xue Lin, that is a young man dressed in scholar's clothes and carrying a sword, named Yan Kui, martial arts is really not to talk about, he is a pure scholar, but he is not a dead scholar, he still has some understanding of the general trend of the world, of course, it is only that.

On the evening of this day, the moon is full in the sky, dotted with stars, although it is night, but the light is scattered from the sky, reflecting the surrounding beauty, the sky blue sea water occasionally swings a few waves, a few fish from the waves to walk away, comfortable and beautiful, such a good night, not only Xue Lin has no idea of sleep, even the sailors who have been busy for a day do not want to miss the scenery of this world because of sleep, although they have been sailing for many years, but every time they see such a beautiful scenery will make them have a feeling that their hearts have been washed, That feeling will make them feel that the tiredness and irritability of the past are just illusory, and that a better tomorrow may have a better tone.

Xue Lin lay on his back on the boat, his eyes on the stars in the sky, he didn't think about anything at this moment, just quietly looked at the beautiful scenery.

Yan Kui interrupted Xue Lin's calmness, he was still wearing a white scholar's shirt at this time, his eyes looked at the starry sky, and said, "I actually envy them very much, I can see such beautiful scenery from time to time." ”

Xue Lin smiled and didn't answer, many people hope that they live better and feel that other people's lives are more comfortable, but they are full of constraints, but they don't know that everyone has constraints, but some people's restraints are given by themselves, and some people's restraints are to be broken.

Yan Kui didn't care about Xue Lin's non-answer, and said to himself: "The master has taught me knowledge since I was a child, and I have taught me the truth of the Qi family, the way of governing the country of the Qi family, the way of good and evil, and the villain of gentlemen, I don't know how many good and evil there are in this world, and I don't know how many gentlemen and villains there are, let alone say that governing the country and leveling the world, I actually just want to live a peaceful and peaceful life, I know that I have no talent and no virtue, and I only want to live a dull life, but unfortunately the world will not give us this kind of blandness today." ”

Yan Kui's words were very low, although the two of them didn't talk much in the past few days, but Xue Lin knew that this Yan Kui did not have the kind of pedantic or self-conscious ambition of ordinary scholars to save the world with his own strength, he just quietly watched the sun rise and set every day, watching the waves come from afar, scattered from near and quiet, quietly, this is actually life, not everyone is like Kou Zhong who wants to want the world, wants to make life wonderful, and some only want to live a peaceful and peaceful life, but unfortunately they live in this troubled world, and their lives in troubled times are like mustard, and they will die if they don't enter. Those who advance fast are heroes, and those who advance slowly become dry bones under the birth of generals.

"How long will it take for the world to be unified again?" Yan Kui looked at Xue Lin and asked seriously.

"It's almost time, just wait for the lone person to take over the great responsibility, and suffer the most sins and the most goodness in this world, so that the world can return to peace." Xue Lin looked at the sky, I don't know when, he has lost his former edge, lost his former ambition, and only has a dull heart.

"Who is this man?" Yan Kui asked again, for some reason, he felt that Xue Lin might have an answer.

"Maybe it's Kou Zhong, maybe it's Li Shimin, who knows!" Li Shimin is the emperor of the ages recognized by history, but based on the few days that Xue Lin and Kou Zhong got along, he felt that if Kou Zhong was the emperor, he might not be inferior to Li Shimin.

"Kou Zhong, Li Shimin, Li Shimin has heard of it, he is the second son of the Li family in the four great families, and he is indeed a good name, but this Kou Zhong is really who he is, and he can be compared with Li Shimin." When Yan Kui heard Xue Lin's answer, he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, and not mentioning Li Yuan, the current ruler of Li Valve, said that his eldest son Li Jiancheng was much more famous than Li Shimin, not to mention a Kou Zhong who had never even heard of his name.

"His name will soon be known to the world, and you will know it then." Xue Lin smiled, didn't speak again, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quietly in the middle of the night.

The next morning, the morning light shone on Xue Lin's face, warm and very comfortable, Xue Lin woke up with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, this nap made him completely refreshed, he sat on the deck, watching the sailors nearby doing their jobs, but the laughter of the sailors yesterday has gone, at this time everyone has a sadness on their faces, the ship boss and Yan Kui in the distance are standing side by side, is talking to the sun, from Xue Lin's gaze, you can see that the ship boss's face is very embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Xue Lin came to the two of them and asked, although he could easily hear the conversation between the two, there were times when he knew that there was no fun at all.

"It's the Poyang faction and the Iron Cavalry." The boat boss is worried, in recent years, with the union of Lin Shihong and Ren Shaoming, the entire south has the most powerful of these two people, that is, the Song valve among the four valves is also quite sad because of their union, if it were not for Song Que's reputation and the prestige of the former Shaoming who was seriously injured by Song Que's move, I am afraid that the strength of the two factions is not enough, it can be said that now in the south can compete with their combined army, only Song Valve and Xiao Mo and other forces have a few forces.

"Are they hitting the attention of the Yangtze River Society?" Xue Lin only had a slight guess before thinking of this question, whether Lin Shihong or Ren Shaoming are both ruthless heroes, at this time when the world is in the most turmoil, they will definitely accumulate strength as quickly as possible, in order to dominate the industry in the future, and the Yangtze River, which has good financial resources but does not have a few masters, is undoubtedly like a sweet cake, and there is really no reason not to eat it.

"I got the news this morning that the rudder of my Yangtze River Society has been destroyed by two factions, and now they are laying a net on the sea, wanting to wipe out all the forces of the Yangtze River Society." The ship's boss looked extremely sad, showing that he also had a lot of affection for this loose little alliance.

"I see, so how are you going to do it?" Xue Lin looked at the boat boss and asked.

"I'm going to fight them to the death, so you can disembark in the town ahead." The ship's boss looked very resolute, much worse than the smirk he thought.

"This is not a good choice, with the current momentum of the two factions, you will just be sent to death." Xue Lin frowned, he had a good impression of the boss of the ship, and he had the previous hospitality, so if he could, he would be willing to help, but there was no doubt that there was no chance of winning directly with the two big factions, although Xue Lin was confident that he was among the thousands of troops, and he could come and go freely, but these people couldn't do it, and he couldn't directly fight with the two factions because of a few meals.

"The old wife and children are gone, what is the fun of me living alone, although I will die this time, but I want to kill a few pads before I die." Tears flowed from the eyes of the boat boss, who lowered his head and complained angrily, but he was powerless to hold back tears.

"Hey, life in troubled times is like mustard, only I have something to say, are you willing to listen to one or two." Xue Lin sighed, knowing that the ship boss was dead, so he could only reunite him in another way.
