Chapter 189: Talking about wine
Nan Ye didn't pay much attention to the old man in front of him who toasted and didn't eat and drink.
"Old man, let me ask you, have any outsiders been here before? There were two of them, one with a gun, one with a sword? "Because I haven't seen Li Yi and Mu Jun, Henan can only name the weapons used by the two.
"Oh, you said those people, they said that they were angry with their little old man, they said that they rented one of my canopy boats, but this morning, I don't know how these people did it, and they directly got my little boat a few miles downstream from here." When the old man heard this, he remembered Li Yi and the others.
"Oh? What about them? Nan Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, he was worried that he would guess wrong when he guessed that they would take the waterway, but now he proved that his guess was right.
Next, as long as you follow this old water, you should be able to catch them soon.
"I don't really know about this little old man, but when I found the awning boat, I found that the men had stuffed some broken silver in the cracks of the canopy in the cabin, and I guess they must have left." Thinking that those broken pieces of silver were as much as three taels, enough for him to catch a month or two of fishing, the old man's original dissatisfaction with Li Yi and the others dissipated a lot.
Although I let myself run several miles away and it was easy to find, the money was real.
"My lord, I just asked about the other boats at this ferry, and it is true that Li Yi and others spent the night here yesterday as the old man said, but they were nowhere to be seen in the morning." A soldier came from not far from the Zhiqing ferry and said.
"This is strange, could it be that Li Yi and the others are in such a hurry to leave, and they don't even have time to say goodbye to this old man and return his canopy boat?" Nan can also feel that there is something strange in this.
"Nan Shuai, that person told me just now that the fog this morning was extremely large, and there was nothing to see on the white surface of the river, even if they left, they shouldn't choose that time." The man who spoke also frowned, puzzled.
"My lord, although I don't know where the people you are looking for have gone, Xiao Lao'er heard the sound of oars on the river in the morning." The old man was a little frightened when he saw that Nan Yi and the others were still here and did not want to leave, and he had already roughly understood from the words of these people that the people who rented the boat with him yesterday should be the opposite of these people in front of him.
"Oh? So there are ships on this old water? Hearing this, Nan Ye couldn't help but feel a flash of inspiration in his head, as if he was about to grab something.
"Where is your little boat now?" Nan Yi thought for a while and immediately asked.
"Right by the water." As he spoke, the old man took Nan Yi and walked towards the awning boat that Li Yi had rented before.
After coming to the side of the canopy boat, Nan Ye immediately jumped on the bow of the boat and began to take a closer look along the boat. After a few moments, Nan Yi stopped on the left side of the bow, and it was here that Nan could see that the wood on the bow had been struck.
"Sure enough, it seems that the thieves hijacked other ships and fled." Nan Yi jumped off the boat and squinted his eyes, revealing Sen Ran's murderous aura.
And when the old man saw Nan Yeke's fierce eyes, he couldn't help but be so frightened that his legs fell to the ground as soon as he weakened.
"My lord spares his life, Xiao Lao'er doesn't know who those people are yesterday, Xiao Lao'er rented the boat to them just to make some extra money, Xiao Lao'er is not guilty of death!" The old man slammed his head on the ground while crying, which stunned Nan Ye.
"What nonsense are you talking about, old man? When did I say I was going to kill you? Nan Yi kicked the kneeling old man on his back and turned over on his back, and then continued to ask sharply.
"But the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and I ask you where can I find a big ship on this old water?" Now that it was known that Li Yi and the others were going down Chen Shui by boat, then their cavalry was basically useless.
Therefore, Nan Ye decided to find the big boat, and then took everyone down by boat to chase and kill Li Yi. And he had to hurry up, because he was worried that once Li Yi and the others arrived in Shengzhou, he would lose the opportunity to kill Li Yi, after all, Shengzhou was the lair of Zongzheng Temple.
"If you want to return to your lordship, although we have some boats on the water, most of them are fishing boats, and there are really not many big boats." When the old man heard Nan Yi, he would not kill him, and he was originally panicked, so he was a little more stable.
"Are you old man deliberately deceiving my handsome? You said that there was no big boat, so how did Li Yi and them escape? A Vietnamese soldier on the side gave the old man another kick and said angrily.
"The adults and the little old man are not lying, we really don't have any big boats on the Chen River?" But as soon as the old man's words fell, two big ships sailed towards this place on the river not far away.
And these two big ships are generally dozens of meters long with the big ship of Mu Fengxiang, the prince of Tan Kingdom, although there are only two cabins on the big ship, but it is quite huge.
"Humph!" Nan also gave the old man another kick, and then stood up and walked to the edge of the ferry, and stood on the pergola in his hand and looked into the distance.
It took him a long time to see the flags of the two ships in the distance. The flags on both ships are written on one side
The word "Qi" is written on one side
The word "Shu".
"I see." At this time, Nan Yi understood where these two big ships came from, and also understood that the old man just now had indeed not deceived them.
"Since this ship belongs to the prince of Qi and Shu, it will be easy to do." Nan Yi watched the two big ships slowly move towards him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Go and give me our flag and unfurl it at the ferry." Nan also gave an order, and the soldiers behind him immediately took a rolled military flag from one of their horses and went to the edge of the ferry to spread it.
Along with the wind blowing on the river, this big flag also waved with the wind. And the huge Yue character on the flag also fluttered in the wind.
After a short time, the two big ships stopped at this Zhiqing ferry. At this time, Li Yi and others were eating hot pot and singing songs on Mu Fengxiang's boat.
Although there were some contradictions between the two sides before, and the Qing Commander on his side was also pierced through the soles of his feet by Li Yi's shot, after a short period of getting along, Mu Fengxiang suddenly felt that Li Yi and the others were not as hateful as he thought at the beginning.
Originally, he just wanted to think of himself as a snake with Li Yi, and he also began to communicate with Li Yi and others sincerely. It didn't take half a day for Mu Fengxiang to magically integrate into Li Yi's group.
Originally, he only thought that Li Yi and the others were a group of water bandits and robbers, but when he heard Yang Ping introduce Li Yi and his party, he was completely frightened.
He really didn't expect the identities of these people in front of him to be so unexpected. The first is Li Yi, although he is just an orphan, he is a master of the hidden world.
And that Jing Zizheng turned out to be a person who respected the family in Sizhou Prefecture, although the Jing family was not a wealthy dignitary, but Jing Zizheng himself could be regarded as a family member.
And since his brother is still the military Sima of the Pengzhou Army. You must know that since the Pengzhou army and the grassland tribe army fought to the death, the prestige of the Pengzhou army has become known to everyone in the entire Dayu Dynasty.
The common people and people of insight regard it as a model of loyalty and patriotism, and some people even offer incense to the Pengzhou army in their own homes.
As for the sisters and brothers of the Qi family, Mu Fengxiang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the woman in front of him, who looked like a bandit king, was the granddaughter of the former servant.
The boy with the glaive knife turned out to be the grandson of the former servant, which completely subverted his understanding of the heirloom of poetry and books.
And among this group of people, he was most shocked by Mu Junhe. At the beginning, when he saw Mu Junhe draw his sword and intimidate Jin Shi, Mu Fengxiang knew that the person in front of him was definitely a master, and at the same time, he must also be a ruthless person.
After all, relying on momentum alone can make Jin Shi obediently soft and dare not speak, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
But when Yang Ping said Mu Junhe's name, Mu Fengxiang was almost so frightened that he knelt down on the spot. For the name Mu Junhe, their surname Mu is like thunder, and the royal family is like thunder.
After all, there have been many emperors and vassal kings with the surname Mu, but only Mu Junhe is famous for his swordsmanship.
And Mu Junhe's attitude towards the royal family also made Mu Fengxiang admire, after all, there are few people in the entire Dayu Dynasty who dare to blatantly fight against the royal family and still be alive.
And as far as he knows, this Mu Junhe doesn't have the slightest affection for other people with the surname Mu, but whoever provokes him, whether you are the emperor or the prince or the prince of the vassal king, he dares to take the sword and cut it down directly.
And just now, since he still wanted to command his subordinates to kill this killing god directly. Fortunately, this killing god is not ferocious, otherwise even if he reports his identity, it is estimated that there will be no good end.
"Uncle clan, I didn't expect to meet your old man here, I'll toast you here." At the wine table, Mu Fengxiang wiped the sweat on his forehead and toasted Mu Junhe with a glass.
I don't know if the sweat on his forehead was caused by the hot pot being too hot or because of the panic in his heart.
In the face of Mu Fengxiang's flattery, Mu Junhe was expressionless, and he was taking care of his own dishes.
"Uncle clan, I heard that you are the number one swordsman in the world, and I am fortunate to meet you today, I wonder if you can accept me as an apprentice?" Mu Fengxiang has listened to the guards in the palace talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and every time he hears the friendship and hatred on the rivers and lakes, the sword and sword shadow make Mu Fengxiang's blood surging.
However, as the son of Tan State, he is destined to have no chance with the rivers and lakes in this life. But this time, the accidental killing of the two sons of Yue Guo made him realize the importance of his martial arts again.
He doesn't want to be able to kill a person in ten steps and not stay for a thousand miles, he just wants to be able to resist when he encounters danger.
"I can't." Mu Junhe didn't even raise his head, but replied lightly.
"Uncle clan, I really want to worship you as a teacher!" Mu Fengxiang still didn't give up. But Mu Junhe no longer paid attention to him, and just stared at the boiling hot pot.
"Your Royal Highness, don't ask for it anymore, my senior brother doesn't accept you as an apprentice, it's not because your apprenticeship is insincere, it's just because my Guigumen is extremely strict when accepting apprentices." Jingzi saw that Mu Fengxiang was still begging to worship Mu Jun as a teacher, so he had to sigh and sigh with relief.
"What are the requirements for the entry of the Honorable Prince?" Mu Fengxiang couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard that the apprentice had a request.
"First of all, in our sect, it is stipulated that disciples must not be more than twelve years old when they enter the school." Keiko was picking up a piece of woad and sending it into the hot pot, but said lightly.
"This ······" Mu Fengxiang was a little discouraged when he heard this, according to this regulation, he is now nineteen years old, and he has missed the age of apprenticeship.
"Why does your sect require that your disciples cannot be more than twelve years old when they enter the school?" Although Mu Fengxiang knew that he had no chance to worship Mu Junhe, he still wanted to know the reason.
"The tutor said that before the age of twelve, people have not yet formed complete values, and they can still shape correct values through education." Keiko said while eating hot pot.
"What are values?" Mu Fengxiang, Yang Ping, Jin Shi and others all heard this word for the first time.
"Values are simply what we call character." This time, Mu Fengxiang and the others finally understood what Jing Zizheng meant.
"I've always wondered what kind of sect your Guigu Sect is, and how can it produce such outstanding talents as you." Although Yang Ping was already very familiar with Li Yi and the others along the way, he was still full of curiosity about the Guigu Gate where Li Yi and the others were.
"Our sect is actually an ordinary branch of the Dao Sect, but the family teacher has a little experience in cultivating disciples." As soon as I mentioned my sect's previous learning in the mountains, all the memories came to my heart.
At this time, he thought of his master Taijizi and his eldest brother Liu Yu.
"My Mo family is also a big faction in the world, and there are not 100,000 disciples of the Mo family, but it is difficult to cultivate a disciple like you who knows astronomy and geography, and can determine the state and martial arts." Yang Ping said with some envy.
He didn't mean anything flattering, he said it completely from the heart.
"There are not many disciples, but they are fine, and according to the family teacher, it is more difficult to teach when there are many people." Keiko was drinking a cup of rice wine.
"This is a mistake, in my opinion, teaching and educating people must uphold the principle of teaching without class, just like the saints of the year, there are 3,000 disciples under him, and his sages are seventy-two, and it can be seen that the number has nothing to do with whether the disciples are successful or not." Mr. Kamiyang apparently has a different opinion on Keiko-masang's statement.
"A saint is a saint because he can do things that ordinary people can't." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Does Master Ling have any other apprentices besides your three apprentices?" Mr. Shangyang was also curious if Li Yi's master had cultivated other disciples besides the three of them.
"The family teacher has accepted a total of six disciples, Senior Brother Mu is our second senior brother, Senior Brother Jing is the fourth senior brother, and I am the youngest one." Li Yi saw that the atmosphere on the table was very harmonious, so he couldn't help but feel good.
"Then who are your other three senior brothers?" This time it was Yang Ping who asked the question. In view of Li Yi, Mu Junhe, and Jingzi's ability, he thinks that his other three senior brothers must also be talented people, so theoretically they should also have some fame.
