Chapter Twenty-Four: Crazy Criticism of Female Thieves

The silver moon was in the sky, the silent river was sparkling, and in the distance a large ship with flickering lights floated by.

Under the two-zhang high embankment of the Baishi River, there is a knee-deep reed beach, and the autumn color has become darker and has shown the color of green and yellow, and the breeze blows through the waves.

Rustle~~~

Dressed as a ranger, with a knife and sword hanging from his waist, he walked along the edge of the reeds, looking at the muddy ground by the river, looking for traces of horseshoe prints.

And Xiao Yunli, who is not tall, walked beside him, still wearing a waist-length skirt to dress up as a delicate lady, but she had an extra gray cloak and hat bought casually on the street, and she also took something from the carriage, and the five-foot long knife was on her shoulder, full of Jianghu flavor.

The cheeks under the folded cloud glass hat are still lit with vermilion rouge, which looks beautiful and moving, but there is a straw pole in the corner of his mouth, and he chats casually between walking:

"Where did the bird go? It should do this errand, fly along the river, and sweep four or five miles along the river in less than a quarter of an hour......"

"Bird Bird is in the palace with your master and Sanniang, if there is anything to fly into the sky and call a few times, I will be able to rush back. If you take it away, you won't be able to spread the news. ”

Seeing Xiao Yunli's appearance, Night Terror Hall was a little funny, and raised his hand to pull the straw stalk down:

"Girl's family, don't learn from the Jianghu people to hold straw poles, let your master and mother see it, I have to beat your ass."

Zhi Yunli was a little helpless: "I'm a big girl now, it stands to reason that I can go to the rivers and lakes alone, and my sister still treats me as a little girl...... Anyway, when you were sixteen years old, what were you doing? ”

Night Terror broke off the straw stalk stained with red rouge and held it in his mouth:

"I was sixteen years old, that is, two years ago, not long after I became the head of the dart bureau, in July in Liangzhou darts, sent a few cars of spices from the west to Liangdong, met a wave of horse bandits on the Gobi Desert, more than 10 people, riding on the sandbank side of the specialty 'full foot mud'......"

When Zhi Yunli heard the story, his eyes lit up slightly, he got a little closer, raised his hat and said curiously:

"What's the stuff with mud?"

"A kind of pony with yellow hooves, very good endurance, and can run for several hours on the water-scarce Gobi Desert; Horse bandits ride this thing, generally like wolves, tailing and wandering to intimidate, the caravan can't run, and for fear of accidents, they generally drop valuable objects to eliminate disasters.

"I was carrying eight dart masters, and I didn't think about the conflict, so I threw away a bag of broken silver. As a result, the group of horse bandits was too few, and they were ready to come up and rob hard, so I let the team continue to walk, one person carried a knife to meet it, and two knives went down with two heads, and then the horse bandits dispersed in a hurry......"

At the age of sixteen, she was still being spanked by her mother, and when she heard that she was the same age as Night Terror, she had already licked blood from the knife on the Great Gobi in the Northwest, and she couldn't help but sigh a little in her heart, and after thinking about it, she asked again:

"Brother Shocking is running around in Liangzhou, have you ever met your sweetheart?"

Night Terror Hall shook his head and smiled: "Liang Zhou is too chaotic, there may be beautiful young ladies, but they all live in the county town, and they are protected when they go out, and we Jianghu people with knives can't get close at all." As for the ones that can be encountered, they are all five big and three rough than the masters......"

Zhi Yunli didn't believe it: "Tiannan is also poor and bad, and there are still many beautiful chivalrous women." Brother Jing has been in Liangzhou for so long, and the locals don't have it, so you can always see a few when you pass by, right? ”

"Passing ......"

Night Terror frowned and thought about it, and a moving back on a horse flashed in his mind, but he couldn't remember it after ten years, and he just said:

"There should be, but I wear a hat when I go out, and I haven't seen a beautiful girl like you."

"Huh~"

Zhe Yunli bumped the night terror with her shoulder, but she was still very happy to be praised, and replied:

"Brother Shocking is such a good-looking ranger, I have also seen it for the first time since I was a child."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Night Terror blinked, feeling that the topic seemed to be a little off, and was thinking about how to answer, when his eyes suddenly moved, looking at the river bank in the distance.

Seeing this, Zheyunli also looked into the distance, but saw that the direction of the night terror was a building by the river.

The building consists of more than a dozen houses, built in a row, facing the official road with its back to the river, and the inn restaurant in front of it, which is regarded as a temporary stop, and the merchants who cannot enter the city after the city gate is closed at night will generally settle down here and wait for the morning to enter the city.

On the embankment on the side of the complex, there is a staircase that allows people above to come to the river to wash and fetch water.

At this time, looking through the moonlight, there is obviously a string of black dots on the stairs, which looks like horseshoe prints from the distribution.

When the two saw this, they immediately swept away the distractions in their hearts and walked quickly to take a look. On the bluestone stairs, it is indeed stained with sludge, and looking along the traces to the river, there is a string of horseshoe prints in the mud, which has been partially flooded by the gradually rising tide, but it can still be clearly recognized.

After Zheyunli looked carefully, he said: "There are only horseshoe prints coming back, there is no past, I estimate that the past is the official road, and after arriving, I found that the place I want to go is by the river, so I went down the embankment, turned back, and after finishing the work, I ran over directly, and the official road from here ......"

Standing on the steps and looking out, the night terror hall could faintly see a large number of lights far downstream:

"Fang Shijie is looking for a ship. Three miles away is Jiang'an Wharf, blocked by an estimated hundreds of ships, today will definitely not be able to enter the port, the ship should still be parked by the river. Walk. ”

Seeing this, Zhi Yunli didn't say much, carrying a five-foot long knife, and the Night Terror Hall followed the foot of the river embankment, and touched downstream, and the two of them walked out of only a mile before they saw a little light by the river.

Night Terror Hall raised his hand slightly, and then the two men slowly approached from the knee-deep reeds, and soon saw that the lights were coming from a large merchant ship, with a deep draft, and there were people walking on the deck.

"This is Yanzhou's ship?"

"Seems to be."

Zhe Yunli looked at the flag hanging on the bow of the ship: "The flag of the Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce, behind it is the Yanzhou Cao Gang, this ship seems to be carrying Yanzhou sauce, Sifangzhai has a sauce noodles, this sauce is used, the taste is a must......"

?

Night Terror Hall sniffed and smelled a faint scent of sauce, and his eyes couldn't help but show surprise:

"Observe carefully enough. Liang Zhou doesn't eat miso over there, I don't even smell it. ”

"What does Cousin Surprise eat in Liangzhou?"

"The best dish in Liangzhou is mutton in the water basin, just a handful of salt without putting anything, and the taste is also a must." There are also in the capital, but the Yunzhou native sheep is used, which produces a lot of meat but does not taste that good......"

Night Terror said a few words, and felt as if it was a little off, so he raised his hand to stop the topic and continued to feel the boat.

The two of them took advantage of the cover of the night to find out not far away, and if there was a conversation, it floated from the night wind:

"The capital is still different, the scene of hundreds of ships in the port, I have seen it for the first time......"

"Speaking of running the rivers and lakes for so many years, I haven't tasted the saltiness of the girl in the capital, and there is a kiln street on the dock in front, or ......."

"Alas, what should I do if I lose the goods......"

"It's just a boatload of sauce, a bucket of hundreds of catties, I don't believe that any snitch can resist this thing......"

……

After listening carefully to a few words, Zhe Yunli's heart moved, and he quietly leaned into the ear of the Night Terror Hall:

"Cousin Surprise, have you ever tasted the saltiness of the girl in the capital?"

?!

Night Terror Hall almost turned his back on his breath, he must have tasted it, Sanniang is fragrant, after using Xiangfei Dew, it is even quite sweet, and he can lick his tongue for a long time, but can he say this to Yunli?

He raised his hand and made a shushing gesture to stop joking, then pulled up his face towel to cover his cheeks and came under the boat.

Zheyunli also covered his cheeks, and when he arrived at the front and back, he held his breath and made no sound, and together with the Night Terror, he swam up the gecko wall at the edge of the ship, and hung it on the deck, and after making sure that the patrolman was on the rear ship, he quietly turned over and landed behind a pile of debris.

A merchant ship is a large ship that transports both passengers and cargo, and the deck building is used to carry passengers, while the lower deck is used to transport goods, because most of the passengers leave on foot, most of the deck is empty, there are no lights in the shipyard, two men dressed in short clothes, sitting outside the shipyard, with peanut wine jugs in the middle, are chatting.

After glancing at the Night Terror Hall, he listened to the lower deck, and found nothing wrong, so he gave Yunli a look, and then took out a silver ingot and threw it into the river.

Thump~

The sound of water splashing sounded.

The two men spoke for a moment, then got up and picked up the weapons at their sides, and came to the edge of the deck to take a look.

Seeing this, Night Terror rolled silently to the middle of the deck, and carefully pulled up the door to the cargo hold.

Zhiyunli didn't need to command, so he quietly flew into it, and the Night Terror Hall also landed on the wooden staircase and quietly closed the cover.

"What's that?"

"I guess it's fish, but unfortunately I didn't bring a fishing rod, otherwise I could have added a meal at night......"

……

Night Terror listened carefully to see nothing unusual before turning his gaze to the cabin.

Because there was no light, he couldn't see his five fingers in the cabin, so he took out the fire fold from his sleeve and opened it to use the hat as a lampshade to blow it.

Although the hat was blocked and the light was extremely weak, the Night Terror Hall could still roughly see the situation in the cabin - dozens of large wooden barrels were neatly stacked, and there were straw mats between each poke, which was supposed to prevent collision damage, and the whole cabin was filled with a rich fragrance.

Night Terror glanced at it, and didn't find anything wrong with the goods, so he went to the depths lightly and opened a wooden barrel, only to see that it was full of large sauce blocks, and there were even gravure marks on it, under the banner of a chamber of commerce, the workmanship can be said to be quite exquisite, and the price is hundreds of dollars higher.

Zhi Yunli looked at it carefully, and sniffed it closely, then nodded and gave a thumbs up:

"Authentic Yanzhou sauce, high-quality goods."

Night Terror Hall also thinks there is no problem, but Yan Wang Shizi's close hand, running so far to the riverside at night, it can't be the taste of Yan Wang Shizi's greedy hometown, come and buy sauce, and I didn't see anything in my hand when I went back......

Night Terror thought about it, looked at the ship building above, and estimated that Fang Shijie came over to see a passenger on the ship.

Zhe Yunli pondered for a while, his heart moved slightly, and he took out a very delicate slender tool knife from his waist, and after pulling out the knife, he removed the sauce block on the surface and stabbed it into the sauce block in the middle.

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall moved his gaze back to the barrel: "How?" ”

Zheyunli inserted the knife in its entirety, and then pulled it out again, revealing that the back half of the slender blade was the same color, while the tip of the knife was brown and stained with something.

Zhe Yunli frowned slightly, leaned closer and sniffed, and then nodded thoughtfully:

"What a clever way to use miso to cover the smell of black feather grass, you really can't smell it if you don't smell it carefully."

"What is the black feather grass?"

"A hallucinogenic herb, the medicine is extremely strong, the middle one will hallucinate, cry and laugh with extreme excitement, Nanxiao Mountain has it, I have smelled it once before, and then I stumbled around for a whole day to calm down, and I was beaten by my sister afterwards."

Night Terror Hall subconsciously held its breath and condensed:

"Just smell it? Then you ......"

Zhe Yunli wiped the knife on the grass mat: "How do I know it's black feather grass, let's go, I'll go crazy later, you may not be able to pull it." ”

Seeing that Zhe Yunli's face had been dyed red in a short period of time, the night terror hall said that it was not good, so he carefully covered the wooden barrel, and took Xiao Yunli to the back of the cabin.

There is more than one entrance to the lower cabins, which can also be accessed from the interior of the ship.

Night Terror felt under the stairs inside, listened intently, quietly pushed the cover open, glanced at it, and saw that there was no human relationship in the room, and the words of two men came from outside the door.

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall opened the cover and came out first, and then pulled up the folding cloud glass with one hand, wanting to leave through the side window.

But as soon as he came to the window, he made a pause, quickly pressed the cloud glass, leaned against the wall, and looked through the gap in the window to the river.

Rustle~~

In the reeds on the riverbank, two figures jumped down the embankment together, and walked towards the boat from the reeds, and the conversation could be faintly heard:

"It's so late, let's move a bucket of sauce over, isn't this idle."

"If you take someone's money, you have to do something for someone. It's better to run errands than to work hard......"

Night Terror Hall frowned slightly, and looked at the person carefully, it can be seen that it is two men dressed in the courtyard, with knives hanging from their waists, their steps are extremely steady, and they seem to be experts, and their martial arts are never too low.

When the two men came to the vicinity of the merchant ship, they stopped chatting, and when they saw a little tiptoe, they jumped up and landed on the deck at the same time.

"Eh, who are the two brothers?"

"Your son-in-law asked us to come over and move a bucket of sauce, saying that a shopkeeper on Wutong Street wanted to inspect the goods."

"yes, it's all down there. Speaking of what kind of goods are still inspected by the sauce, the people in the capital are also particular about ......"

Bang Bang –

The sound of the cover opening and descending the stairs sounded.

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall prepared to take Yunli to land first, and then try to follow it.

But as soon as the Night Terror Hall quietly opened the window, before he could jump down, he heard a voice from the cabin:

"Wait."

"What's wrong, bro?"

"You just lit a fire in it?"

"How is it possible, we haven't come down when Childe goes out......"

"There are river thieves drilling the bottom, and they are still there just now."

……

When the Night Terror Hall heard this, his heart sank, knowing that it was the sulfur rosin of the fire fold that was exposed, and he jumped out of the window directly with Zheyunli.

And at this time, four figures jumped out of the entrance of the deck one after another, and the person at the head was quite powerful, and before he landed, he noticed that there was a black shadow in the shipbuilding that flashed away, and immediately threw his right hand forward.

Sassy –

The three snowflake darts immediately broke through the air, drawing an irregular arc in the air like a butterfly, and shooting towards the window on the side of the merchant ship.

Night Terror Hall was in mid-air, seeing the darts coming, the iron sword on his waist was immediately unsheathed, sweeping away the three snowflake darts, because he wanted to track the lair, he did not backhand, but wanted to play the role of a river thief who stole things in the middle of the night and continued to escape.

But what he didn't expect was that he landed steadily by the river, but Xiao Yunli beside him did not fall.

When Zhi Yunli saw the darts coming, he was directly furious, grabbed the edge of the window, turned over and jumped back, and shouted:

"Dare to hit this girl!

The moment he landed, he bowed like a female leopard, held the handle of the knife with both hands, rushed forward and pulled out a five-foot long knife at the same time, and slashed the man in black who was pressing forward.

Chokew-

Night Terror's face changed slightly, he really didn't expect Xiao Yunli, who was clever all the way, suddenly went crazy at this time, his body immediately bounced up, and he returned to the deck again.

And the two black-clothed nurses who rushed out first were obviously not ordinary people.

Seeing Zheyunli flip onto the deck, the leader of the man threw out three snowflake darts again with his left hand, like a wandering bee and butterfly attacking Zheyunli, and at the same time, the long knife on his waist was unsheathed, and his body almost followed the snowflake darts.

Ding Ding Ding –

Zhe Yunli's eyes were very excited, and he did not give in to the strong enemy, flicked three copper coins with his left hand, stopped the snowflake dart that shot at him, and then pushed the middle of the back of the knife with his left hand, as if pressing a guillotine, and his right leg suddenly exerted force, slashing at the attacking single knife:

"Drinkβ€”"

In the midst of the shouting, the gray cloak on Zhe Yunli's body suddenly swelled, and the pedaling force was so great that the huge merchant ships shook, and there was a crisp sound of "click" from the underground wooden plank.

Bell –

The two edges met, and a deafening explosion was heard.

The leader of the man's eyes obviously flashed with astonishment, and his left hand was against the back of the knife, but he was still struck by this explosive force that was terrifying, and he slid back a few steps before he barely stopped the overwhelming force.

"Ha β€”β€”!"

Zheyunli let out a loud laugh, brandishing a five-foot-long knife about the same height as her, as if she wanted to chase after the wild horse.

Night Terror didn't expect Yun Li's explosive power to be so terrifying, and he didn't dare to let Yun Li go crazy here, so he immediately hugged Yun Li's waist, grabbed the long knife and ran out, and said:

"Don't be impulsive! We are thieves, not bandits, what kind of knives do we move with people, run quickly......"

Zhe Yunli was extremely excited, and when he tried his best to break free and found that he couldn't break free, he opened his teeth and claws and gestured at the air, and stared at the four people on the boat fiercely as if they were facing a great enemy, shouting:

"Yun'an is this girl's territory! Dare to be presumptuous in front of me, know who I am...... Woo - don't stop me, I have to let them ...... today Woo-woo-"

On the deck, the two guards who came to pick up the goods, and the two guards who came to see the ship, were all stunned.

The leader of the person is not low in martial arts, but after receiving a knife, he was stopped by the female thief who seemed to be crazy about the explosives bag, holding the knife to protect his chest and not daring to chase, and after seeing the two masked people who were still shouting away, he glanced at the gap that was cut out on the knife, and his heart palpitated.

The guard next to him waited for the two of them to run away before whispering:

"The river thieves in the capital are so crossy?! Let's stop it if we come and steal something......"

The leader hesitated: "Not to mention the capital, in the entire rivers and lakes, there are few thieves with such a hot temper, and it is estimated that they have changed their careers by robbing the road." Have you lost anything of value on board? ”

"The most valuable thing on the ship is the miso, which is heavy and worthless, so you can't steal it. I guess these two are gone, and they haven't stolen anything and have been discovered, so I am annoyed and angry......"

"Just don't lose anything, get down to business first. Later, the cabin will be locked, and a bell will be tied under the cover, Qingjiang is not as good as Yanzhou, everything transported to and from the ship is valuable, and there are many river thieves ......"

"Row ......"
