When the waterway is smooth, it is actually faster than the land route, Qian Qianqian greeted the river breeze all the way from upstream to downstream, and the boatman hummed a small tune in the river. Mu Tianyue took out the skin bag in his arms, took a small sip and handed it to Qian Qianqian, and whispered: "With this beautiful scenery, with this beautiful song, and then accompany the wine, sleep and live up to it." ”

Qian Qianqian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Brother Mu really doesn't forget to enjoy this beautiful scenery at any time." ”

Mu Tianyue said with a smile, "The beautiful scenery of a good day, the breeze and the bright moon, are inexhaustible, why not?" ”

Qian Qianqian took the skin, and before she put it to her mouth, she already smelled the fragrance, it was Qiu Yuebai, which had been aged for at least five years, lighter than her daughter's red, and stronger than fruit wine, it was designed by Tianyue Restaurant for women, and it was Mu Tianyue who made wine.

She drank it a few times in a restaurant and fell in love.

"Brother Mu, who knows me." Qian Qianqian sighed after taking a sip.

After the wine is in the stomach, a stream of heat and fragrance is fed back, with the faint taste of river water in the breeze, which has a unique taste.

Qian Qianqian was about to close her eyes and take a closer look, when the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, her center of gravity was crooked, and she was directly carried into Mu Tianyue's arms.

"Huh?" She asked softly, and wanted to get up to see what was wrong with the boatman, but her eyes were suddenly shaken by a cold light, and she fixed her eyes on it, it was a knife with a wide face and an iron ring, which was the most commonly used by the bandits.

She turned her head to the other side, and made eye contact with Mu Tianyue, and saw a little panic that was well concealed, if she wasn't familiar with him, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to see it, and she thought that this person would not change his color at all before Taishan collapsed.

However, after thinking about it again, Mu Tianyue is a weak scholar who has never practiced martial arts, and being able to do this is already the wealth brought by many years of business, and she can still ask him to think about Xiao Mohan......

Qian Qianqian didn't know why she suddenly remembered him, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and at the same time, she whispered to Mu Tianyue: "There are many poor people here, how can the water bandits choose targets?" Is there something else going on? "For example, some gangsters already know about Xiao Mohan, pretending to be water bandits and trying to find him?

As soon as this thought entered Qian Qianqian's head, she suddenly felt panicked, and with the crisp sound of the knife ring colliding in her ears, her heart continued to speed up, and it seemed that it could rush out of her chest at any time.

"Don't move!" The rough and wild voice of the bandits came from the bow of the ship.

"Uncle! We are all small families, and there are some rice and salt that can't be opened, you really don't have any work here! The boatman's voice trembled, apparently this was the first time he had seen such a situation, he had probably always been in small business, and it should have been those big ships that encountered bandits,

"Grandpa needs you to teach you how to do things? Less nonsense! Take off your clothes! ”

It's strange, the clothes of the boat family are exposed to the wind and sun, let alone a water bandit, she doesn't want to give her away, these people really don't come for money.

Taking advantage of the slight looseness of the knife-wielding man in front of her, she quietly moved her position, and when she looked up at the bow of the boat, she saw that the bandit was changing clothes with the boatman, and he had a long shocking scar on his face, and his face was full of stubble.

How can outlaws look like this?

Qian Qianqian shook her head slightly, her movements seemed to be bigger, alarming the person who was guarding her on the side, and the person sent the knife to her neck again, "Want to escape?!" ”

"Wronged, Grandpa Water Bandit." She tightened her body while begging for mercy, and Yu Guang happened to glance at Zhao Ye on the opposite side and wanted to make a move, but she stopped it with her eyes, and continued to say to the water bandit: "I really saw the majesty of you, and I was scared, and now my belly is turning upside down, and I feel uncomfortable, so I moved my position." ”

The water bandit listened to Qian Qianqian's praise with a little smug on his face, "Have you moved it?" ”

"Okay, okay, it's better now."

"Don't move again!"

"Yes, yes." Qian Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, followed by the boatman, who was also driven into the hull, and squeezed into the crowd with thin clothes and trembling. The bandits, who had just been talking to the boatman, were rocking the boat with their oars in their hands.

Seeing this, the bandits who had originally entered the hull said, "You guys! Take off your coat and hand it over! Then he quickly shook the knife in his hand, and there was a sound of "jingle puff".

Everyone took off their clothes one after another, and Qian Qianqian hid behind Mu Tianyue, clutching her collar.

"You! Take off! ”

"Uncle, I told you just now, I have a stomachache, if I take off this cold-proof shirt again, I won't be able to hold ......it here for a while" Her nose wrinkled to reveal the expression after smelling the stench, the water bandit seemed to be infected, and couldn't help waving his hand, and said to the other: "Is it enough?!" ”

"Enough is enough."

"You!" He glared at Qian Qianqian fiercely, "Don't pull it, understand?!" ”

Qian Qianqian's chick nodded like a peck of rice, "Understood." ”

"Let's go!" The bandits gave an order, and they all went out to change their clothes, leaving only one to guard at the entrance.

"Hahaha, the eldest brother still has the ability, such a method can be figured out!"

"Yes, the big boss is brave and strategic, and our village even saves the military!"

"Long live the big boss!"

I don't know which one likes to pat on the back, and followed by a boatload of more than a dozen bandits began to show their loyalty.

Qian Qianqian took advantage of their lack of concentration, got up and sat next to Mu Tianyue, gently bumped her shoulder, and whispered, "Brother Mu, what do you think." ”

"Look at this scene, I'm afraid it's Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong."

Qian Qianqian smiled, "I don't know which merchant ship is going to suffer." ”

"Oh? Why can't it be an official ship or a large family? ”

"The officers and soldiers on the official ship are escorted, and these little thieves are afraid that they don't have the courage yet, unless they divide into several ways and attack together. But I just heard them call the man who set up the boat the big boss, that is, the whole village poured out of the nest, and said something military and the like, I guess it is a bad climate that has just been built. Therefore, if you want to make a name for yourself and accumulate enough money for yourself, it must be the best merchant ship. Large families travel with thin and soft goods, and they are only those. Merchant ships are different, in addition to money and goods, it is equivalent to robbing one ship with the effect of two ships, and they have a strategy to take it by surprise. ”

Mu Tianyue listened to Qian Qianqian's analysis, and secretly said something to the little guy next to him.

Qian Qianqian glanced at the little guy suspiciously, and when she saw him going in the direction of Zhao Ye and the boatman, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Do you want to know who is the caravan?" ”

Mu Tianyue pulled Qian Qianqian noncommittally and moved to the back of the boat, her mouth was full, Qian Qianqian took the opportunity to look over, and found that those bandits were really novices, and they only knew how to guard the front and forget the back.

"Do you want Zhao Ye to go and report the news?" Qian Qianqian tilted her head and asked.

Mu Tianyue nodded, "Exactly, no matter who the other party is, as long as he knows about the water bandits in advance, he will not sit idly by, and then we will be able to cooperate with the outside world, I am not sure if these thieves can be dealt with, but at least this boatload of people and the merchant ships can be saved." ”

Qian Qianqian pondered for a moment and said, "But how to convince the strange merchant ship that the person who went there is not smashing nonsense and not being a thief?" ”

Mu Tianyue glanced around mysteriously, took out an object from his arms, and handed it to Qian Qianqian.

When she opened it, she saw that it was the waist card that organized robbers would inevitably make in order to distinguish their own people.

"Fang just took advantage of their inattention and came over."

Qian Qianqian sneered quietly, "Forgive the little woman for being clumsy, she didn't see that Brother Mu still has the ability to show the board and lead the sheep, if you are not a businessman, be a gentleman on the beam, robbing the rich and helping the poor is also the way out." ”

Mu Tianyue smiled helplessly, "You don't make fun of me, don't you just take advantage of pretending to be sick and want to get that waist card?" That's when I realized what you meant, and when I saw that you didn't succeed, I just made a yellow sparrow. ”

Qian Qianqian covered her mouth, lest she couldn't control her laughter and accidentally exposed them.

The two of them tacitly glanced at each other, and then looked in the direction of Zhao Ye one after another, the other party had begun to move slowly towards this side, although the people on the boat were weak and timid and afraid of things, but after listening to Zhao Ye's analysis, this gang of water bandits would inevitably kill people and kill people, and immediately became extremely united, each of them took the initiative to help him cover up, and the water bandits who were guarding in front observed the cabin several times, but they didn't see anything strange.

"Boss, I've asked the boatman, the caravan that will pass by in the past two days is a big family in Zhongzhou not far from here, but he can't be sure which one it is." Zhao Ye shared the news with the two first, and then said: "I think it's just a blind search on the river, waiting to try my luck, why don't I go ashore first, find out the identity of the person who came, and then go and inform them." ”

Mu Tianyue nodded, "It's okay, there is a protective camp set up by the imperial court on this bank, and it was also proposed by Mo Han at the earliest, in order to deal with the water bandits, as well as the people who accidentally fell into the river." You can inform them, but you don't know how fast they are doing, and after you do, you should still find the merchant ship. ”

"I understand." Mu Tianyue didn't know that Zhao Ye came out of these imperial court systems, so he naturally knew how much corruption there was in the Xiao State system today, and he knew how many housekeepers were inactive. Honest officials like Xu Wenshan have become an outlier.

For this reason, he took out the silver money in his arms, "This is the only way to use it when necessary." After all, the combat capabilities of merchant ships are still inferior to those of the army. ”

"Brother Zhao, thoughtful." Mu Tianyue hurriedly moved.

Qian Qianqian was concerned about one more thing, "If you wait to enter the water, it will definitely make a noise, and if it is discovered by those people, it will be troublesome." It's got to be like a way to help you cover up. ”

She rolled her eyes, smiled slyly, stood up suddenly, staggered to the bow of the boat, and let everyone cooperate as she ran.

The cabin was lively when it landed, Qian Qianqian looked behind from time to time, and saw that Zhao Ye's figure was no longer there, so she calmed down, and when she turned her head, she saw that the tip of the knife was against the tip of her nose, and the one holding the knife was the big boss of the newly established village.

"What tricks are you playing!"

"Uncle!" Qian Qianqian turned sideways to avoid the blade, pounced on him and grabbed his arm, "I really can't hold it back, I really want to ...... to the pants. Her eyes kept looking at the water bandit who was looking at her just now, "This uncle knows." ”
