Chapter 260: The Legend of the Water Ghost River

Yin Xun asked, "Brother Huang, are we separated from the army here?" ”

Yin Mu nodded, turned his horse's head and said to Ye Chengdao, the leading pioneer: "Ye Qing, I have already told you before, you will take the army from the dry road to Chaisang, and I will go over with the other generals by water, and first make peace with the four princes. ”

Ye Cheng hugged his fists and said: "The last general will lead the order." ”

Yin Mu instructed: "You have to pay attention, you are leading a large army, it is not expensive, fast and stable, and you must definitely ensure that all soldiers reach Chaisang safely." ”

Ye Chengdao: "Your Majesty's words, the last general will take them to heart, and he will definitely not let the bandits take advantage of it." ”

Yin Mu was relieved and left by the waterway with a few people.

Bai Junzhuo listened to their conversation just now, and felt inexplicable, hundreds of thousands of troops still have to be afraid of bandits? Which bandit didn't walk around when he saw them?

After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly had a guess, so he quietly asked Yin Xun: "Is Yin Ji not dead?" ”

Yin Xun nodded.

"Then it's no wonder, it turned out to be to prevent Yin Ji from attacking the army." Bai Junzhuo muttered, and then asked Yin Xun, "Why didn't Yin Ji die?" People like Yin Mu shouldn't have the kindness of a woman, and it's right to do things like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. ”

"Because he is my brother after all," Yin Mu suddenly reined in his horse, turned his head to Bai Junzhuo and said, "I am not the kind of person with a femme fatale's heart, after all, the eldest brother and I have the same blood of the Yin family, of course I will not kill them all." ”

Bai Junzhuo pursed his lips, this person was as ubiquitous as a ghost.

Yin Xun smiled and said, "Brother Huang, don't blame, Jun Zhuo is just curious, and has no other meaning. ”

"Of course I know that she has no other intentions," Yin Mu said to Yin Xun, then looked at Bai Junzhuo and said, "It's just that the Ninth Princess calls me by my name behind her back, isn't it a bit rude?" ”

Bai Junzhuo still wanted to say a word to him, but remembered what happened last night, so he said to him in a detached tone: "The courtier is guilty, and she will definitely not offend Your Majesty again in the future." ”

After hearing this, Yin Mu laughed and said, "I am not such a stingy person, I was joking with the Ninth Princess just now. ”

Bai Junzhuo also smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is happy." ”

The conversation seemed to end unhappily, Yin Mu didn't care, and went to talk to Yin Xun again: "Ninth brother, do you remember racing horses with you when you were a child, and you can throw me miles every time?" ”

Yin Xun said: "The younger brother knows that the imperial brother deliberately pretended to be inferior everywhere in order to express his weakness to the Empress Dowager Fu at that time, and he also knows that the true strength of the imperial brother has never been revealed. ”

"I'll let you see it today," Yin Mu smiled and said to him, "Let's compare who gets to the boat I prepared first, if I arrive first, all the expenses of our people on the way to Chaisang by water will be counted as yours, and if you arrive first, they will all be counted as mine." ”

When Bai Junzhuo heard this, he silently despised Yin Mu in his heart, the expenses used in this march and battle were originally Yin Mu's, so he didn't suffer if he lost this game, and he made a lot of money if he won.

If she didn't want to talk to him, she would have to argue with him so that she wouldn't watch Yin Xun do this loss-making business.

Yin Xun was very confident, and said to Yin Mu: "Okay." ”

As he spoke, they grabbed their horses and ran at the same time.

Bai Junzhuo sighed helplessly, and Fu Mingyue, who was beside her, heard it, approached her horse, and spoke to her: "It's the first time I've seen Your Majesty so high-spirited, like a young man with unpaid ambitions. ”

"I saw it last night, your majesty is really a multi-faceted character, sometimes calm and dark, sometimes light and bright, teaching people to be unable to figure out and see through......" is really frightening.

Fu Mingyue misunderstood what she really wanted to express, stared at her side face for a long time, and said: "Yes, everyone in this world is the same, the more obsessed things are, the more attractive they are, and they can't extricate themselves." Isn't that what Your Majesty does to you? ”

Bai Junzhuo was still scolding Yin Mu in his heart just now, but he didn't hear what Fu Mingyue said, so he turned his head and said, "What did you say?" I was distracted and didn't hear it. ”

Fu Mingyue shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything. ”

"Really, not?" Bai Junzhuo blinked, and when he saw Fu Mingyue turning his face away and no longer looking at her, he wondered if Fu Mingyue was angry, so he asked her: "Mingyue, I was wrong, I won't be distracted when I talk to you in the future." ”

Fu Mingyue smiled helplessly: "What are you sorry for, how can I be angry with you because of this?" ”

When Bai Junzhuo heard her say this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, you have known me for a long time and are my best friend, how can you be angry because of this little thing?" ”

Fu Mingyue only chuckled and didn't say anything.

Bai Junzhuo looked at the side of the road and pointed to the flower on the side of the road: "Mingyue, look at that flower, is it the Mo flower that 'Mo Shang Hua blooms, but can slowly return'?" ”

Fu Mingyue looked in the direction of her finger and nodded, "It should be, but I don't like such flowers." ”

Bai Junzhuo was curious: "Why don't you like it?" What a beautiful flower. ”

"Because of the name 'Moshang', I always think of Molu." Fu Mingyue's eyes were slightly distracted, and she sighed: "Back then, she was young and lovely, and her love was stronger than Jin, but in the end, she was a stranger because of some things, and even killed each other, how could I like such a flower." ”

Bai Junzhuo said helplessly: "Mingyue, you think too much. Leave the sad feelings until autumn, now that spring is just right, let's enjoy it and leave nothing else. ”

Fu Mingyue pulled out a smile and said, "You're right. ”

The two talked and laughed, and soon caught up with Yin Xun and Yin Mu, seeing that the two were drinking tea in the small teahouse by the river, everyone dismounted and walked over, and in an instant surrounded the small teahouse, the center was Yin Mu and Yin Xun, and no one was allowed to approach, so that it was convenient for them to talk.

Fu Mingyue asked the two with a smile: "I don't know who won this game, Your Majesty and the Nine Princes?" ”

Yin Mu replied: "I didn't know that when I and the ninth brother rode to the shore, the people here said that they could only get on the boat at noon, so I and the ninth brother had to cancel this competition. ”

Fu Mingyue was puzzled: "Why do you have to wait until noon to get on the boat?" ”

Yin Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems to be the custom of Hanzhong." ”

When Bai Junzhuo heard him say this, he went outside to find an old fishman squatting at the door drinking tea and asked, "Uncle, are you here to fish?" ”

The old man glanced up at Bai Junzhuo, and when he saw that she didn't look like a bad person, he nodded.

Bai Junzhuo asked again: "I heard the people here say that you can only sail at noon, so you must be able to fish at noon, right?" ”

The old man nodded again.

"Why?" Bai Jun asked puzzled.

The old man stared at her for a while, then leaned closer to her and said, "You're from out of town?" ”

Bai Junzhuo nodded: "Yes." ”

The old man pointed to the lake and said, "There are ghosts in this lake, and the yang energy is the heaviest at noon, so there can be two hours for us to fish and sail." Other times you do these things, you will be dragged in and eaten by the ghosts in the lake! ”

Bai Junzhuo secretly said in his heart that the education of this Li country is really uncivilized, except for the rare superstitious people in Chang'an, everywhere else is full of these completely unbelievable legends of ghosts and gods, especially her scroll, and what can be summoned Yin soldiers, who believes this kind of nonsense.

However, Bai Junzhuo is not worth forcing the way because of this, breaking the rules of Hanzhong. This time, they secretly took the water route to Chaisang, and they should not be high-profile on the way.

Thinking that there would be a period of time until noon, and there was nothing to do, he chatted with the old man: "Uncle, you said that there is a ghost in this river, what kind of ghost?" Have you ever seen it jump out and eat someone? ”

"Girl, I told you that you don't believe it," the old man sat down on the threshold and said to her: "Half a year ago, there were many people who jumped on the river and never returned, and at that time no one in Hanzhong realized that it was a ghost or a god. I went fishing that day, and I accidentally walked away, and I didn't look back when I was almost there. At that time, a large boat suddenly appeared in the center of the river, and we fishmen saw that the boat looked particularly gorgeous, and estimated that there were many gold, silver and jewels in it, and that there was no one outside the boat, so we got on the boat together. And guess what? ”

Bai Junzhuo thought to himself, you shouldn't have seen a sea monkey or a forbidden woman, right? Tomb robbery?

The old man continued, "There was blood in the cabin, but there was no one! Think about it, if the original people in the ship were killed, then there should always be a corpse, right? But we haven't seen a single corpse! So, it's obvious, it's eaten by the water ghost! ”

Bai Junzhi saw that what the old man said was not like making it up, so he thought about it carefully and asked, "When you got on the boat, did you go to find out if the blood stains were hot?" ”

The old man shook his head: "Who will go to probe for bloodstains?" But we did find food on the boat that they didn't eat, and it was all hot! ”

"Ahh A scream suddenly came from behind Bai Junzhuo, she was not frightened by the story of this old man, but she was not lightly frightened by this scream, and turned her head to see that it was Fang Yi, the maid beside Fu Mingyue.

Seeing that Xingzi Ju'an and the others were all around him, listening attentively to the old man's nonsense, Bai Junzhuo stood up and said, "Okay, okay, what's the ghost in this world, it's noon soon, let's get ready to get on the boat." ”

The old man also stood up and said to Bai Junzhuo dissatisfiedly: "You are disrespectful to the water ghost when you say this, be careful of retribution!" ”

Even if Bai Junzhuo didn't believe in this ghost and god, he was quite unhappy to be cursed by an old man, so he said to him: "Okay, I know it's wrong, I apologize to the water ghost." ”

The old man was satisfied, and said, "When you sail, it is best to find a local person to take you with you, because there is often a lot of fog on this lake, and if there are no locals on the boat, it will be difficult for you to get out of this Hanzhong alive." ”

Yin Mu seemed to have already found a local to lead the way, in addition, the boat and the boatman were looking for locals, so Bai Junzhuo said to him: "Thank you uncle for reminding us, we have already found a local." ”

The old man nodded, and took his hat with him, like a man of the world. He picked up the fishing net and said, "It's noon, and the old man is going to fish!" ”

Yin Mu and the others also stood up, it's noon, and we should also go on the road.
