After walking by land for several days, Liu Jian finally chose to return to the waterway.

Because he found that walking by land from south to north was completely mentally retarded.

Before that, he had not been able to comprehend what a luxury it was to be in an isolated society. Maybe the situation is slightly better in the north, which has been developed for a long time, but in the water network is dense, a river is connected to a river, and a lake is separated by a lake in the south, you can't find even a continuous official road in this Sui and Tang era.

Often ten miles away from the city can no longer find the way, want to continue to move forward often have to wander in the deep mountains and old forests to climb, if you are not careful, it is easy to get lost, often within three to five days can not find the direction out.

I got lost in the deep mountains and old forests again, and finally ran out of the deep mountains and old forests after going around for several days, but I found that I didn't know when I was back near Yangzhou!

Liu Jian was eager to liberate the treasure, summoned Huizhou, and then flew directly to Chang'an from here, entered the treasure house of Yang Gong, took the relics of the evil emperor and left. However, after thinking about Medea's warning, Liu Jian finally gave up this extremely tempting idea. I went to the dock to find a boat to sit on.

As for Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army blocking north-south communications?

Let's talk about that later.

If he really can't do it, he just kills him from the middle of Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army blockade, he doesn't believe that if he wants to break through, he can stop himself with the Jianghuai army.

When he arrived at the dock, Liu Jian took a turn on the pier, and then he realized that even if he took the waterway, it was not easy to go to Luoyang. Because in this situation, there will be no boatman willing to risk his life to go to Luoyang against the blockade of the Jianghuai army.

After asking, Liu Jian learned that it turned out that Li Zitong's righteous army in the East China Sea had just crossed the Huaishui in the past few days to form an alliance with Du Fuwei and broke the Sui division on the Huaishui, and then the two sides jointly sent a partial division. The south came to force Liyang. If Liyang is attacked, the Yangtze River waterway traffic will be cut off by the Jianghuai army.

Therefore, everyone now adopts a wait-and-see attitude, and only when the situation is clear will they have the courage to go west.

When Liu Jian was looking for a boat on the dock, a voice suddenly came from behind Liu Jian.

"The old man just heard that this little brother is looking for a boat to go to Luoyang, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Liu Jian turned around, and a man and a woman, who were quite different in age, were standing behind him at the moment. He was accompanied by six strong men in cyan samurai uniforms.

The man was about forty years old, but he had white hair and a silver-white beard, but he did not show any signs of aging, he was born graceful and handsome, with a great bearing, and his demeanor was very modest and polite. There are about twenty-five or six women, who are quite enchanting and have an intimate attitude with men. And the look and posture are very sultry, giving people a little undecency.

"I'm just going to take a boat to Luoyang."

"Haha, that's fate." The man laughed and continued: "We are also going to Luoyang to sell salt, if there is nothing embarrassing, the little brother may as well follow us all the way, and there will be a good response on the way." Oh yes, old man Song Lu. Friends on the Mengjiang River did not give up the nickname of 'Silver Whisker'. Look at the little brother, you are magnificent, I think you are a child of an extraordinary family. Don't know what to call it? ”

'Silver beard' Song Lu.

Liu Jian has some impressions of the name.

"Silver beard" Song Lu is a master of the Song valve, with a set of self-created "silver dragon crutch method" famous in Jiangnan, is the brother of Song Shidao's uncle Song Que, is one of the core figures of the Song valve. Although he is just a trick, he has only appeared once in the Legend of Datang Shuanglong, but Liu Jian just re-read the Legend of Datang Shuanglong in Medea a few days ago. I have a lot of impressions of this trick that appeared very early.

"Junior Liu Jian, I have seen Senior Song." Song Lu's beard and hair are all white, although he looks like he is in the prime of life, but it is estimated that it is the result of good maintenance of his appearance, and it is estimated that his real age is enough to be Liu Jian's grandfather. It's not a loss to call a senior.

"Liu Jian......" Song Lu pretended to be contemplative for a while before he made a surprised appearance and said: "It turned out to be a young master who retreated from Yuwen Chengdu and defeated Shilong!" Oops, what a disrespectful and disrespectful one. ”

"The acting skills are not good, it's too blunt, you can't run away from the Golden Sour Plum Award." Looking at Song Lu's clumsy acting skills, Liu Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Although he knew that his acting skills were not good, Song Lu didn't seem to care, and he clearly saw that Liu Jian knew that he knew Liu Jian's identity early on, and he could still pretend to be a natural surprise at this time: "No wonder the magpie kept barking on the bow of my boat early this morning, it turned out that I should have met a noble person today." Okay, good, great, little brother Liu, the old man is a few years old, so he will call you a little brother. Little Brother Liu, it's windy here, why don't you move to the boat and let Song Lu prepare a little wine to entertain you? ”

"In that case." Liu Jian hugged his fists: "Liu Jian is respectful, it is better to obey his fate." ”

"Haha, okay. Brother Liu's fast talk is happy. This time, my Song valve came from Lingnan, and the youngest son of the eldest brother's family, Song Shidao, he loves to make friends with young heroes the most, and the two of you have met, there will definitely be endless topics to talk about. Song Lu smiled and nodded and touched his beard, and then personally stepped forward to lead the way: "Little Brother Liu, please." ”

Liu Jian humbly snorted, and naturally followed Song Lu's pace.

Obviously, Song Lu recognized his identity early in the morning and deliberately came up to make friends. And he is very shameless to put himself and Liu Jian on the same generation, which can be regarded as praising Liu Jian to the sky.

As for the reason, Liu Jian can also guess it.

It should be on my own clothes. In any case, his combination of leather coat and trench coat is really too maverick in this era...... However, Liu Jian is always unaccustomed to wearing clothes in this era, even if it is a samurai uniform based on the premise of ease of movement, Liu Jian feels a little cumbersome.

As for Song Lu's invitation, he agreed without hesitation. Anyway, he is just going to Luoyang, and he is sitting on other people's boats, and he is also sitting on Song Valve's boat, so he can't say that he can save a lot of trouble in the name of Song Valve, so why not?

As for Song Lu's other purpose in treating himself so favorably?

We'll talk about that then.

If Song Lu has something to help himself, for the sake of his attitude, Liu Jian doesn't mind spending some effort to help, and it will be regarded as paying the boat fare. Of course, if Song Lu wanted to recruit himself for Song Valve. That's not a big deal, just refuse.

Song Lu set up a banquet in the cabin hall, simple and grand, and the people present were a man and a woman in addition to Song Lu and his new concubine Liu Jing.

The man is a young man in his early twenties, handsome, and personable, although he is dressed as a scribe, his spine is straight, his shoulders are open, his breath is long, and his martial arts are not weak.

The other woman is about two decades old. Graceful, dressed in white like snow, with a long sword at his waist. Her figure is quite tall, with a kind of arrogance that stands out from the crowd, slender and compatible, and her body is indescribably beautiful. She wore a bamboo hat on her head, and a heavy veil hung down to cover her pretty face above her lips, but only the part of her chin that was exposed, which made it possible to conclude that she was a rare beauty. It was particularly impressive. It was a small mole dotted with paint at the corner of her mouth, which made her more mysterious.

Song Shidao and Fu Junwen.

The moment he saw these two people, these two names immediately popped up in Liu Jian's head.

It's just that......

I haven't seen Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling here, I think it's because there is no "Recipe for Eternal Life", Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have not escaped from Yangzhou City, so they naturally staggered with Fu Junwu, but I didn't expect Fu Junwu who was staggered with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. I still met Song Shidao.

"Come to the teacher, your uncle and I met a young talent on the dock today. Be close to each other. Song Lu first looked at Fu Junwu strangely for a while, and after seeing the long sword on her waist that was different from the shape of the Central Plains, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he called Song Shidao to his side.

"Come on, come on, come on, I'll introduce you, this is Brother Liu Jian Liu, and he was the one who repelled Yuwen Chengdu on the Dongming. A few days ago, in Yangzhou, he pushed the mountaineer stone dragon. It can be said that he is the best among the young generation in today's martial arts. ”

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, long admired the name. In the Lower Song Dynasty, I saw Liu Gongzi. Song Shidao's voice was quite soft and good, and his demeanor was even more polite, even Liu Jian couldn't help but feel good when he saw it.

"This is my eldest brother and youngest son. My nephew Song Shidao. You are all young and handsome in this world, and you should have a good exchange together. Oh yes, Shidao, who is this girl, and you won't introduce it to us? ”

"Oh, I was about to introduce Uncle Clan. This girl is ......" Halfway through speaking, Song Shidao's voice slammed suddenly, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face. He didn't remember until this time that he hadn't asked the name of the girl in white, let alone what her identity was and where she came from.

"My name is Fu Junwu." When she was embarrassed, Fu Junwu lightly opened her lips and said her name lightly, the voice was only like a heavenly sound, and Song Shidao couldn't help but show a fascinated look when he heard it.

Song Lu said with a smile, "Looking at the girl's essence and introverted, showing superior martial arts, and the style of the sword is exotic, I don't know where the master is to train a person as clever as the girl?" ”

Fu Junwu replied calmly: "Mr. Song, please forgive me, Junwu has a strict order not to disclose her background." ”

The scene suddenly became a little cold, Song Shidao's heart was full of admiration for Fu Junwu, and he didn't want Fu Junwu to have a conflict with his uncle, so he hurriedly said: "Miss Fu has been on the road for a day, and she wants to come here at this time, so please come to the table quickly, Brother Liu is also invited to the table, let's just talk while eating." ”

Song Shidao kindly invited Fu Junwu to sit down, Song Shidao and Song Lu sat with him, and Liu Jing sat next to Song Lu and happened to sit with Liu Jian. At the moment when Liu Jian sat down, he didn't know whether it was intentional or indifferent, Liu Jing's slender hand actually passed over the key part of Liu Jian's crotch like a teasing, and when Liu Jian raised his head, he saw that Liu Jian's spirit was normal and Song Lu, who was sitting next to Liu Jing, also looked unaware.

As for whether he really didn't know anything, or pretended to be unaware, then Liu Jian didn't know. Because from Song Lu's angle, Liu Jing's movements should not be able to get out of Song Lu's sight, and theoretically it should be impossible for Song Lu not to see it. So the real situation is either that Song Lu saw this situation but didn't care, or that Liu Jing's actions at this time were clearly instructed by Song Lu.

"It's really interesting for old husbands and young wives." Liu Jian smiled slightly and sat down. From Liu Jing's body, he felt a familiar aura, which was the aura of the Heavenly Witch of the Yin Sect, which was also possessed by Shan Meixian, who was born in the Yin Sect. It's just that the aura of the Heavenly Witch Charm on Liu Jing's body can be regarded as a small thing compared to Shan Meixian's, far less than the extreme temptation on Shan Meixian.

Come to think of it, this Liu Jing should also be a disciple of the Yin Sect, but it should be the kind of disciple who is not important.

The Yin Sect attaches great importance to the distinction between respect and inferiority, and the sect is divided into three levels by heaven, earth, and people, and the martial arts passed on are also completely different, the sky is white, the earth is black, and the people are yellow, which is white, black, and yellow. Only disciples who have been awarded the white color will have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the secret technique of the Heavenly Demon.

In addition to Zhu Yuyan's personal disciple Wan Wan in the Yin Sect, only veteran masters such as Bian Buyi and Wen Caiting won this honor.

If it is a disciple who can cultivate the Heavenly Demon Dafa, how to match it should be directly assigned to Song Que or to Song Shidao in front of him, it will definitely not be matched by Song Lu's side, because it is too wasteful. It's just that I don't know if this Liu Jing's identity in the Yin Sect is a place or a person.

The two big men on the side of the Marquis immediately stepped forward to pour wine for each of them.

Fu Junwu said: "I have always drunk without touching my lips, and a few of them are fine." ”

"I'm not a good drinker." Liu Jian smiled and said: "I have no other shortcomings, the only disadvantage is that I get drunk when I get drunk, in order to avoid making a big appearance in front of Brother Song, it's better not to drink." ”

"Then we won't drink." Song Lu smiled and motioned for the big men to remove the wine jug and glass.

Song Luxian is a person who is good at eating, casually introducing the food on the table and talking about cooking skills, Liu Jian is not proficient in cooking, and the cooked dishes can only be said to taste okay, but he can't do it, but he can't stand it, he will eat. Song Lu's topic aroused Liu Jian's interest, so he talked with Liu Jianhai about various delicacies from all over the world.

Fu Junwu was not interested, only ate two green vegetables, and then stopped, Yurong was as quiet as water, like a fairy in Wushan. Song Shidao loved her more and more, but because Song Lu pointed out that she might be from outside Middle-earth, it was like a thorn in the heart of the horizontal terrier, because his surname Song strictly forbade intermarriage with other races.

After eating for a while, Song Lu personally cooked tea to entertain the guests, but suddenly brought up the topic of He's Bi. (To be continued.) )
