After walking in the Wushan Gorge for half a day, the merchant ship of the Gan family arrived at a place where the river surface is relatively spacious, and the surrounding mountains here are more majestic than other places, and the sides are even more dangerous mountains and dense forests, with strange peaks and strange rocks.

"It's here. ”

Looking at the ships of different sizes parked on the shore in front of him, he willingly ordered someone to lean over.

However, when the Gan family's boat approached the ferry, Wang Shen found that there were two people fighting swords on the river at the ferry, and there were many people standing on several boats next to them.

The boat on which the sword fighter stood was the bamboo raft that Wang Shen had seen before, and there were seven or eight such bamboo rafts floating at the ferry at the moment at the moment, except for the bamboo raft that was fighting the sword, there was only one person standing on the rest of the bamboo rafts.

Wang Shen looked at it and asked curiously, "If someone makes a move like this, they don't care?"

Zhang Ping, who was willing to be beside him, said with a smile: "Many of these Wushan swordsmen are warlike people, although there is a ban in the mountains that prohibit them from attacking outsiders for no reason, but if someone takes the initiative to find them to compete, they can't ask for it." ”

Wang Shen nodded suddenly, and while they were talking, the two sword fighters had already decided the winner, and the foreign challenger was actually hit by the swordsman on the bamboo raft and fell into the water.

As a result, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd watching the battle, and some of them even burst into laughter.

Just when everyone was attracted by the swordsman who won on the bamboo raft, Wang Shen noticed that on a delicate merchant ship not far away, a delicate girl with a pretty face was looking at everything that was happening in front of her with a frosty face.

And the man who failed to fall into the water was swimming towards the boat at this moment, but before he could climb onto the boat, he was kicked back into the water by the woman on the boat angrily.

At this time, a hearty laugh came from another boat next to this boat: "Hahaha, Miss Zhu, I said that you can't be a person, do you really need me to help you out of this breath?"

"Phew, surnamed He, it's not your turn to worry about Miss Ben's affairs, the dog is nosy with the mouse!"

This seemingly petite girl has a great temper, and she doesn't show any affection when she speaks, and the man on the boat opposite who was scolded by her is not angry, but just smiles at her with a teasing face.

Seeing this smile, the girl was even more angry, only to see her gritted her teeth, looked at everyone present, and suddenly shouted: "Whoever goes to beat that guy off the bamboo raft, Miss Ben will reward ten taels of gold!"

Ten taels of gold?

Wang Shen's hand shook suddenly for no reason, and when Gan Xin on the side saw this, he said lightly: "If I guess correctly, she should be the granddaughter of Zhu Xiao, the Marquis of Zhennan on Jingjiang Road, surnamed Zhu, and her name is Qiaoqiao." If you want to go, you have to be mentally prepared, this Miss Zhu has always been known throughout Jingjiang Province for her temper and generous hands. ”

Zhennan Hou?

Wang Shen hurriedly suppressed the impulse in his heart, smiled, and said, "How come, am I that kind of person...... But the granddaughter of Nanhou of this town also came to this kind of place to join in the fun?"

"The people who join in the excitement around the boat here are not any Jianghu figures, but nine times out of ten they are all young ladies who can't bear to travel out of their temperament. ”

"Like you?"

"Pretty much. ”

"I still don't understand, your home is so far away from this Wushan, what's the point of going so far to come here to fight for a name?"

Gan Xin turned his head to look at Wang Shen and asked, "You really don't know?"

Wang Shen shook his head.

"Hey, do you know how many people on this Wushan Mountain cultivate swords on this mountain on weekdays?"

"I heard there are hundreds?"

"Not to mention hundreds, this mountain of swordsmen, young and old, adds up to thousands. The so-called hundreds of you are just those hermits who really settled in seclusion on this mountain and practiced the way of the sword, and the rest came in search of the reputation of this Wushan Mountain, wanting to see if they could find some opportunities through this. ”

Wang Shen wondered: "If there are really so many people according to what you said, after hundreds of thousands of years, even if there is any chance on the mountain, it will have been dug up a long time ago......

Gan Xin smiled slightly, and said: "The fate I am talking about is not only referring to the ethereal and illusory sword immortal fate that is rumored on the mountain, but also referring to other ......."

After speaking, he willingly raised his chin and swept the pile of large and small ships in front of him, and looked at Wang Shen with a somewhat playful look in his eyes.

Wang Shen was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that they are all here for these young ladies and young ladies?

"You're not stupid...... In this world, compared to the ethereal path of the sword immortal, it is still more realistic to be rich and rich. Martial arts practice and literati learn saints, not all of them are to show their own learning, and their fame is spread all over the world, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the word fame and fortune. Not to mention the thousands of real and false swordsmen on this Wushan Mountain, looking at the world, those self-assured ordinary Jianghu guests are not all swimming forward like carp crossing the river, looking forward to one day being able to leap into the dragon gate and achieve a famous career. ”

Wang Shen's willing words made Wang Shen feel bad when he heard it, but he couldn't refute it, because he knew very well that what the other party said was right. Therefore, for these young ladies in front of them, it is fake to come to Wushan to open a sword and gain a reputation, and it is the right thing to recruit a few masters of the rivers and lakes who are interested in taking refuge in the door. And those who came to Wushan to repair swords one step earlier or came in a hurry in the past few days, in fact, most of them were not to participate in the sword meeting of Laoshizi, but to show their strengths to attract the attention of various door valves.

To each his own, the fur depends.

This is the relationship between the gate valve and the rivers and lakes, especially when the four great swordsmen personally led hundreds of swordsmen down to Wushan, and took away the heads of more than a dozen generals in the army, the name of Wushan swordsman was even more shocking to the world.

Although so many years have passed, there has long been a mixture of fish and dragons on this Wushan, but for those who have little contact with the rivers and lakes, the quadrennial Wushan Sword Opening Meeting is the most convenient and direct opportunity to recruit the masters of the door, and at the same time, it also provides an opportunity for those who want to seek wealth and power.

Therefore, Miss Zhu from the Zhennan Hou Mansion opened her mouth to be ten taels of gold. She is not afraid that others will know that she is rich, but afraid that others will not know that she is rich, throughout the ages, the truth that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward has never been wrong, gold and silver, which are despised by the elegant and dusty people, are the most dazzling treasures in the rivers and lakes.

Not long after the words of Miss Zhu of the Zhennan Hou Mansion fell, a figure suddenly swept up on the mountain road of the ferry, and the person who came cut through the quiet river like a shock, and took the swordsman standing on the bamboo raft with an indomitable momentum.
