Poinsettia Mei threw a bundled map and a small bag of silver taels over from the side of the boat, and asked Fu Yunge to follow the map so as not to get lost.

The sky is still green and hazy, but the mountains on both sides of the river are already green and lovely. Fu Yunge rowed the boat intentionally or unintentionally, looking back from time to time.

The water was long, and the road he had come from was blurred into an outline. The sound of rippling water waves from the rocking oars contrasts with the birdsong in the distance. Everything appears clear and comfortable.

Poinsettia Plum and Fu Yunge drove quietly on the water, each with something on their minds. Occasional splashes of cool water splash onto the boat, as if to remind the boaters not to fall asleep.

Not far away, the waterway forked. Fu Yunge turned his head to glance at Poinsettia Plum, and sure enough, he was waving goodbye to him.

"Be careful, Fu Yunge. Poinsettia Mei said lightly, "You must find Dongfang Shiming." ”

"I will. Fu Yunge grabbed the ship's penny as if he was cheering.

The boat had sailed in front of the bifurcating gorge, and it was time to separate.

"Good. Poinsettia Mei steered the boat sideways, and finally smiled at Fu Yunge and nodded, "Go hard." ”

Immediately afterwards, Fu Yunge's eyes were blocked by the mountain rocks, and he could no longer see the figure of Poinsettia Plum.

The river gradually accelerated, and there was a rattling sound on both sides of his boat. The water splashed onto the side of the boat, and he was suddenly distracted by his wet shoes.

"Then I'm going to work hard. He said to himself. "Can it ...... I have failed to live up to their hopes. ”

A cool breeze ran across his cheeks. He grasped the boat, followed the direction on the map, increased the speed of the boat, and sailed all the way to the destination Jiangliang City.

............

In the distance of the river, a town that had just been devastated seemed to be gradually starting to come back to life.

Half of the castle walls are in ruins, but many shops in the castle are already open. On the other hand, the lord of the city mobilized labor and began a new reconstruction work.

At this time, in the restaurants and restaurants, most of the guests were still talking about the night attack on the city. Although a few days have passed, the people of the city are still as terrified as yesterday in retrospect.

"Oh, it is said that what is the [Nine Characters] or sent a letter in advance, exactly the same as the previous means......"

In a lively tavern, a few guests are chatting about the attack of the Nine Shadows.

Another person who didn't know much about it tilted his head and asked his companion, "What is their purpose?"

"Oh, who knows?" his companion shook his chopsticks, as if he had a very unique insight, "At first, I thought it was aimed at treasures from all over the world, but we didn't have any treasures in Jiangliang City, so we blew up half of the city wall." Do they want our city wall bricks back to build thatched houses? You say, isn't it okay to look for trouble? ”

"That said, they're in trouble. No one knows why they attacked, and every time they succeeded, was it scary?" smacked lips from an older guest in the upper seat.

"Terrible, terrible!" said the guests around the table.

One of the men sitting next to the upper seat spoke again, "I see, this is the spring of events. The big guys are safest when they are hiding in their homes. It doesn't matter what nine-digit number, cross-number, or quilt shrinkage, nothing happens. ”

"Yes, yes!" the group nodded yes again.

At a table in the distance, a teenager watched them chatter here, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

But it's beyond reproach, after all, it's not about themselves, and they don't implicate them, so they can naturally think like this.

The young man is very handsome and full of ease. He ate alone in this corner, and he didn't attract much attention. There are two iron fans in hand, and the corners are blooming with a slight cold light.

He is the Oriental poet.

After being knocked aboard the ship that night and drifting all night, he was also rescued from the shore. It's just that he drifted farther away, to a stranger realm. After coming ashore, he did not carry any silver, and after several rounds he sold the pair of silver fans for money, and the weapon temporarily became this iron fan.

Exploring the traces of Jiu Che Xiao Shadow all the way, he has been living in Jiangliang City for the past few days. It's just that the clue is not clear, and he still needs to hear more news.

This tavern is the most lively tavern in Jiangliang City, and Dongfang Shiming simply lives here.

He occasionally made money by talking in the store, but fortunately, he had read a lot of books since he was a child, and his storytelling skills were not bad, so he lived here for a while, and the funds were quite abundant.

It's a pity that there are a lot of idlers in the rivers and lakes, but there is not much useful information. After a few days of waiting, there are only a handful of reliable information obtained. He had recently considered leaving Jiangliang City to take a look at Langshayu, which was said to have been attacked recently.

At this time, the rivers and lakes can be described as a plate of scattered sand. In response to such changes, everyone is powerless. He thought to himself, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

After a short silence. Suddenly, a guest at a table farther away said in a startled voice:

"Hey, have you heard of that [Evil Eradication Scholar] recently?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The other man took over, "It is said that the scholar seems to be unarmed, but he kills a wicked man every night." It's magical. ”

The guests who had just gathered around were obviously very enthusiastic, and they quickly joined in the new conversation as well, gathering together to share what they had heard about the deeds of the "scholars who eliminated evil".

"It is said that the scholar would go out to kill people every day on the third watch, and put it at the door the next morning for everyone to exhibit. ”

"I've heard that he's not really a scholar at all, but what is it...... Swordsman. The identity of the scholar is used to hide people's eyes and ears. ”

"yes, yes. It is said that he is the Jinfan Ranger back then, and he will go out of the rivers and lakes again. ”

"I've heard ...... too"

“......”

Dongfang Shiming glanced at them with strange eyes. There was still a lot of chattering over there, and the "scholar who eliminated evil" seemed to be getting more and more bizarre in their mouths.

He chuckled softly wryly. Most of them have not been such rumors these days.

It's not that he hasn't heard of the news of the "evil scholar", but most of them are such exaggerations and nonsense, which makes him always have quite doubts about this news.

If the "Scholar of Eliminating Evil" really came, he would also like to see it with his own eyes. This rumored and mysterious master is sacred.
