Yu Yi smiled and said nothing, silently walked to the table next to him, and asked: "Your Excellency's words are wrong, this is obviously the Yellow River, why is it called a pirate, wouldn't it be better to call it a river pirate?"

Or thinking that Yuyi was a little interesting, the middle-aged man stood up and replied: "These thieves are all fishermen on the edge of the Yellow River, and the water is very good. ”

"yes, that's a shame."

Yu Yi said and looked back at Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou narrowed his eyes, knowing that this was Yuyi satirizing himself, without the propaganda of Taiping Dao, of course he would fall directly into the grass.

"Look at the two dressed up, it should be a merchant who is preparing to cross the river, it is a coincidence to say, we are also preparing to cross the river to Luoyang, why don't we go together?"

Yuyi took the initiative to ask to go along.

Someone is together, and it is always good to have a care, but if the matter of the river thieves is not solved, it is impossible to cross the river, so he replied: "I heard that this river thief is rampant, so I can't help it!" ”

Yu Yi nodded after hearing this, thinking that these two businessmen should only be hearsay about the thieves, and there was no substantial evidence, so he called the shopkeeper as soon as he had an idea.

"Hey, what do you need, officer?"

The shopkeeper had a towel hanging on his shoulder, and when he heard Yuyi shouting, he thought something was wrong, so he hurried over.

"Don't panic, we just want to inquire about something."

Some routines Yu Yi still understands, before asking, he took out some broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er, he was reluctant to accept it at first, but under Yu Yi's repeated requests, he took it.

Xiao Er replied: "Guest officer, if you have any questions, as long as the little one knows, he must tell the truth." ”

Yu Yi waved his hand and said: "It is rumored that the Yellow River is not very peaceful when it is near, and some river thieves often haunt the river, and many merchants have lost their lives because of this, but is there such a thing?" ”

When the little two heard this, their bodies trembled violently, and they said: "That's true, these river thieves are also hateful, and the livelihood of my inn is almost unbearable." ”

Yu Yi followed Xiao Er's words and looked around the inn and found that there were indeed very few guests.

"What's the best way to do that?"

Yuyi continued to ask.

"Hehe, you have found the right person, from this side all the way to the east, there will be a secret ferry, opposite is the official ferry, many merchants cross the river from there!"

"Guandu?"

No matter how this word was flipped in Yu Yi's mind, why was it so familiar, and finally he knew that it was the place where Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle, a famous case in history where less won more.

When several people heard about this method, they all nodded silently, only the driver Xiao Huang shook his head, asked the reason, and learned that if this detour method was adopted, the trip would take an extra week.

At this point, Tang Zhou was the most anxious, because an extra week meant that the time limit for Zhang Jiao's task had passed.

For the sake of thieves to detour, naturally it is not Yuyi's style, he thought about it and asked: "The imperial court is in Luoyang, aren't these thieves afraid of using force on Tai Sui's head?" ”

"It's not that the court really didn't care, Langzhong He Jin asked the saint to suppress the thieves, but these thieves are too cunning, and they run away when they encounter officers and soldiers, and when the wind passes, they come out to make trouble again, which is really a headache."

The shopkeeper recounted the situation.

"I didn't expect these thieves to know the art of war, and they are so cunning."

Yuyi smiled.

The middle-aged man on the side also sighed, he wanted to come to the court and did his best, there was really no way, the officers and soldiers couldn't keep guarding the river.

"But it's strange to say, once, when the officers and soldiers who suppressed the thieves came back, one of them was chatting, and when he talked about the appearance of these thieves, it was very strange, looking from a distance, it seemed to be wearing a turban, and it seemed to be inlaid with Chinese characters, and one of the words at the beginning of it was vaguely seen to be yellow."

The shopkeeper touched his chin and fell into a memory.

Yu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at Tang Zhou, as he had worked in the tailor shop in Julu City for so long, he knew the meaning of this clue, Tang Zhou knew what he meant through Yu Yi's eyes, and immediately decided to let the shopkeeper go to help rent a boat and prepare to cross the river on the second day.

This move was a little unprepared, and neither the shopkeeper nor the middle-aged man reacted.

"Please think twice about objectivity, thieves are infested, and the river is still very dangerous."

Xiao Er thought that he hadn't made it clear, and hurriedly reminded Tang Zhou again.

"Don't panic, we already know the situation of the thieves, a little bit of thieves, not enough to worry about, we have martial arts, and we will go to exterminate them immediately."

Tang Zhou stood up, stuck his waist, and looked very confident.

Seeing that there was a way to cross the river, the middle-aged man hurriedly came over to curry favor and asked Yuyi: "Can you take us for a ride, we will pay enough for the cost." ”

Yu Yi is naturally not in charge of this matter, so he glanced at Tang Zhou, of course Tang Zhou would not let some things be exposed, so he verbally rejected the other party, so everyone broke up unhappily and went back to their rooms to rest.

On the second day, the shopkeeper introduced the boatman, Tang Zhou paid, Yuyi and the coachman Xiaohuang went to bed together, and the journey across the river was officially started.

This is the first time Yuyi has seen the Yellow River, the magnificent river surface, the golden river, surging endlessly, facing the bright sunshine, galloping on the Loess Plateau, the boat is like a flat boat in the sea, rippling with the waves, the wave after wave of drinking water, like ten thousand arrows in unison, like a loose horse, like thousands of roaring tigers and leopards, accompanied by a deafening sound, a thousand miles.

The boatman said that the drinking water here was fairly smooth, and that it was impossible to control the boat anywhere else.

While everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the river, the coachman Xiao Huang fled to the back and vomited, which made Yuyi and the two laugh, not expecting to be a good hand on land, but a sick cat in the river.

"Hmph, I didn't expect to meet my own people here, it's a coincidence."

Thinking back to the word "yellow" that Xiao Er said, Yu Yi smiled.

Tang Zhou knew that this secret could no longer be hidden, so he replied: "Yes, all this came too fast. ”

As the two were talking, several ships suddenly came into view, and they were moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The boatman was a little flustered and wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late, and several boats had already surrounded him.

In fact, the boatman knew in advance that there were thieves on the Yellow River, but the price of Tang Zhou's was very high, so he took a risk, thinking that he was lucky and would not encounter thieves, but the car overturned.

Yu Yi and Tang Zhou heard the sound at this time, and had already walked out of the cabin, and found that there were all ships around, and they were a cut above this side, and there were archers in ambush on them, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as difficult to fly with wings.

They also found that the man led by the enemy seemed to have a problem with one of his eyes, which was covered with something, and it was not unreasonable for the middle-aged man to call him a pirate.
