"The Yangtze River is not as good as the Yellow River, the north is cold and winter, the river surface is frozen more than a foot, and you can travel freely without ferrying, but the Yangtze River is not good, it already belongs to the southern boundary, the river is not frozen, and you can only find a boat if you want to cross the river."

Xiao Rui and others, who had been walking along the Yangtze River for a few days, returned to the ferry and wanted to cross the river.

Li Junxian proposed: "Son, it's the dry season in winter, and it's just over the New Year, and the people basically don't travel much, so the ferries are also resting, or let's find a nearby city and mobilize the Yangtze River sailors." ”

Xiao Rui sighed: "Alas, I wanted to go south in a low-key manner, but this transfer of the sailor will be publicized." ”

Li Junxian sneered and laughed, "It's impossible for you to keep a low profile, in the past few days, Your Majesty has given orders to the cities along the way, and when he sees you, he will persuade you to return, hehe, everyone knows that you are going south, unless we don't enter the city again, we can't keep a low profile." ”

Fang Er's eyes lit up, "Okay, it's good not to go into the city, it's a small city all the way, it's too boring." ”

Xiao Rui scolded with a smile: "Do you dislike the small city?" These days, I'll give you a lecture, and I'll cook with a picnic by the way, you're entangled in my craft, foodie! I don't know how much I understand the art of war, and the amount of food is rising. ”

Fang Er stuck out his tongue and took out a baked cake from his arms, "Hehe, this is not a delicacy made by Brother Xiao, and other things can no longer be swallowed." Brother Xiao, if you are troublesome, it is better to hand over the cooking skills to me, I am not too tired to work. ”

"I used to only know that Brother Xiao was a god of cooking, and the dishes were well cooked, but I didn't expect to know that even if you baked a baked cake yourself, it was a delicacy in the world. Fifth brother, do you want to eat or not, and share half of you? ”

Li Junxian waved his hand, "You eat, I'm not hungry." ”

Xiao Rui laughed angrily, and said to Fang Er: "You kid, when did you learn to pat on the back?" Eating yakiniku can't stop your mouth. ”

"Forget it, let you learn cooking, I'm afraid it's harder than teaching you the art of war. The three of us go out, everyone has their own division of labor, the fifth brother drives, you run errands and escorts, I will be a cook. ”

"What if you were to cook? Hehe, in less than three days, the three of us will be malnourished and carried back to Chang'an. ”

Yes? Why? Why was it carried back? I don't poison my food.

…… yes, the food you make is very poisonous. Xiao Rui covered his eyes.

"Ship, ship......"

The corner of Fang Er's eyes swept across the river, and he suddenly shouted in surprise.

Everyone looked at the past from afar, and it was really a boat, not the kind of fishing boat, but a serious big boat.

Fang Er muttered: "Such a big ship, is it the Yangtze River Sailor?" Brother Xiao, have we been discovered? ”

Li Junxian shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, if it's a sailor, there should be a flag on the bow of the ship." ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Whatever, we can cross the river if we have a boat, no matter which way he is an immortal, we are just a free ride." ”

"It's a boat!" Fang Er corrected.

Xiao Rui glanced at him, "This is a metaphor, a metaphor!" ”

While chatting, the carriage was brought closer to the ferry, and in a short time the big boat came down the river to the crowd.

"How many brothers are going to cross the river?"

Without waiting for Li Junxian to speak, the middle-aged man at the bow of the boat took the initiative to speak.

Li Junxian turned around vigilantly and looked at it, and whispered to Xiao Rui: "Childe, it's not right, why is there no one on the bank of the river today?" Could it be such a coincidence that we are the only one traveling? ”

Xiao Rui smiled and waved his hand, stepped forward and said, "Exactly, I can't find a ferry boat to cross the river for a while, can I take your big boat and make it convenient?" bereavement, take ten taels of silver to this eldest brother to drink tea. ”

Yes? Oooh......

Fang Er reached into his arms and took out a large silver ingot.

The middle-aged man at the bow of the boat laughed heartily and said: "Look at a few people who are not ordinary people, meeting is fate, there is no need to be like this." It's not a ferryman, and my boat is not a money-making ferry, it's just a leisure trip to the river. It's nothing to take a few people for a ride, it's enough to talk to everyone and make friends, so please get on board. ”

Xiao Rui arched his hand: "Brother Tai is atmospheric, so it will be bothered." ”

Soon the board was put down, and even the people and horses were sent to the boat, and Xiao Rui and the three of them also followed the man into the spacious cabin.

"Huh...... Brother Tai, your ship is big enough, I'm afraid it can compare to the main battle ship of the Yangtze River Naval Division. Such a big ship as a pleasure boat? It seems that the identity is not ordinary. Xiao Rui exclaimed.

The man waved his hand and smiled, "Where, where?" It's just ordinary people, who rely on water to eat, so they naturally have to manage it carefully. A few of you, please take a seat, come here, and serve tea. ”

Li Junxian reminded in a low voice again: "Childe, listen to this, this is a water thief!" ”

Rice? What rice? It is not surprising to hear that rice is grown south of the Yangtze River.

Fang Er heard it next to him, and shouted out directly.

Ga......

This is embarrassing, Li Junxian is also very speechless, and said in his heart, why does this kid have no experience in the rivers and lakes? No wonder everyone says you're stupid!

Burst...... Xiao Rui also laughed directly.

The middle-aged man on the opposite side changed his face slightly, but he still said with a smile: "The little brother is fast-talking, and his mind is pure, which is rare!" How? If this were a pirate ship, would you dare to sit on it? ”

Fang Er scratched his head and said, "Rice boat? Rice is not planted in the field, how can it be used as a boat? ”

Li Junxian pushed it and said angrily: "Water pirates are bandits who do robbery on the water, and their ships are called water pirates. What's on your head? I know that I have eaten it. ”

Fang Er exclaimed, "Huh? Bandits plundering on the water? Isn't that the bad guy? But、But this big brother doesn't look like a bad guy! ”

Li Junxian was speechless, so angry that he didn't look over, and said in his heart, can bad guys be written on his face?

Xiao Rui smiled, he was not afraid of bad guys, because he himself was not a good guy, or even a bad guy among bad guys.

"My brother is right, my brother is not like a bad person, he has been with us for a few days, and today he saw that it was difficult for us to cross the river, and he came to see him off, if he is still a bad person, hehe, there will be no good people under the sky that day."

Well??

Li Junxian stood up and kicked it, Fang Er hurriedly guarded Xiao Rui's other side, Rao is no matter how tiger he is, he also knows that the atmosphere is not quite right.

The two of them are protecting Xiao Rui's travel, Xiao Rui is now losing all his martial arts, and he didn't bring an escort along the way, if he encounters a thief, it's okay, if it's a large number of soldiers and horses who come prepared, it will be difficult to do.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "Fifth brother, bereavement, what is this?" We're guests, not fights, so we're about to take it and sit down. ”

"Hehe, brother Taijian smiled. Dare to ask for your name? ”

The other party has always been calm and composed, even if Li Junxian and Fang Er are nervous and vigilant, the middle-aged man is also gentle.

Arched his hand towards Xiao Rui and said, "Dongting Lake-Laiheng." ”

Dongting Lake?

Li Junxian exclaimed: "It's the Dongting Water Bandit? The Dongting water bandits who can't do anything about the Yangtze River sailors. It is rumored that it is the remnants of the former Sui, and the son is careful. ”

Xiao Rui waved his hand: "Don't be impatient." Come to Heng? Surname? The age of the brother Tai...... I don't know what the relationship is with the former Sui Ming and General Hu'er? ”

The other party didn't hide it, "It turns out that there are still people who remember my father." Childe is talented and extraordinary, dare to ask the honorable name? Today, I just want to get to know and make friends, and I don't have anything else to think about, so you don't need to worry. ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "Sure enough, after being a famous general, there is no half of the bandit cheesy on his body." Since my brother has been with us for a few days, he must have guessed my identity, so why not guess? ”
