The two of them also set off shortly after the prefect left.

Because the Yangtze River officials and bandits have been restless in the past two years, Xu He has already formulated a walking route for this trip before coming.

He did not take a boat from Songjiang Province to Chongming via Hebaozhong, and then transferred to Haimen or Tongzhou.

The patrols of the Jiangjun and the Jiangjun are very frequent.

After the last incident in Yangzhou, Xu He was very afraid that he would be remembered in case of being remembered, so he could only take more land routes.

The land route is from Jiading to Taicang Prefecture, Changshu, Jingkou all the way to the vicinity of Jingjiang, then take a boat to Taixing, and finally go north to Hailing.

Although the road is hard, there are the most big cities and the safest, as long as you don't have nothing to do to go to that remote place, it is still very safe.

The two walked for two days and stayed in Changshu and Jingkou for two nights.

Early in the morning of the third day, I met Xiao Er, who came across the river to pick him up.

Don't look at Xiao Erjia, he is an ordinary fisherman in a small town far away from the Yangtze River.

But in fact, their family has a lot of connections with many forces on both sides of the Yangtze River that are begging for a living on the water.

Of course, it's not that Xiao Er and his family are bandits, it's just that people from all walks of life in recent years know that they have to get together and fight when they encounter something.

Just like the Twist Army during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, what does twisting mean?

Gathered!

is a very vivid word, which is the relationship between Xiao Er's family and bandao noodles and wonton noodles.

On weekdays, everyone has nothing to say hello, but if you encounter a time when you can't live a life, then you will respond to all calls, and everyone will rebel together with the knife!

Seeing Xiao Er, Xu He and Ding Ze were still very happy.

The three of them are still young, and there is no restraint when they meet, Xu He beckoned Xiao Er to sit down and have breakfast one by one.

Xiao Er sat down with a smile unceremoniously: "Childe, my father has asked the head of our land to report to the forces in Jingkou." Here! ”

As he spoke, he took out a small red flag from his bosom and said: "When the time comes, hang this thing on the bow of the boat, and those people who are begging for a living on the river will not come to provoke, and even Cao Jiangjun will not check it when he sees it!" ”

When Xu He heard this, he curiously took the small red flag from his hand.

The red flag is not big, and there is a word [Su] written on the back, which is estimated to be the surname of the big boss of this piece of stewardship.

After reading it, Xu He returned the flag with a smile, and then beckoned the store to put on more dry food, so that Xiao Er and Ding Ze could eat to their heart's content.

After eating, the three of them came to the river, and Xiao Er pointed to a boat in the distance and said, "When I came, the boat was already alive, and this is the boat I can find back." ”

Ding Ze smiled: "Is this ship reliable?" The boss of the boat won't turn his face and deny people when he arrives in Jiangxin, right? ”

Xiao Er's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he spat and foamed, making Ding Ze a little inexplicable.

Xiao Er Zhengse said: "Brother Ding, you don't know if you don't run the boat, don't say this kind of thing!" ”

Ding Ze rarely told a joke, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded by the young Xiaoer, which made him a little embarrassed.

However, Xiao Er smiled and said: "There are people on the boat, there are many rules, Brother Ding, don't worry!" ”

After getting on the boat, Xu He saw that the boat was very clean, and the boss of the boat was also an old man who looked generous, so he put his mind at ease and read a book in the cabin by himself.

Soon after, the boat sailed towards Jiangbei, and when about a stick of incense passed, suddenly Ding Ze said outside: "What person! ”

Xiao Er also seemed to be questioning the other party: "Brother on the opposite boat, didn't you see the red flag on the bow of my boat?" ”

Xu He heard the movement, and as soon as he felt that something was wrong, he heard a "bang", and then he fell into the cabin.

As soon as he stood firm, suddenly the light at the hatch dimmed, and several barefoot men broke in.

Before Xu He could figure out the state, he heard Xiao Er shouting, "Who are you?" Do you talk about the rules? We've all visited the docks! ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu He heard a whining sound, and when he was escorted out of the cabin by several strong men, he found that not only him, but even Ding Ze, the boatman's family, and his family members were all tied up and gagged.

"Heroes, if you ask for money, don't hurt anyone, we can take everything on us!" Xu He tried his best to calm himself and said to the big man beside him.

It's a pity that those big men didn't hear Xu He's words, and they didn't bother at all, and a few people directly lifted Xu He to the big boat that took over the board, and threw it on the board and left him alone.

When Xu Hezheng was stunned, suddenly a woman next to him spoke: "Master Xu, it's a bit rude to see your benefactor leave without thanking you, right?" ”

When Xu He heard this voice, he stood up and turned his head to look, and sure enough, the saint girl dressed in white and like a fairy out of the dust was standing behind him, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes like watery spring.

"Holy Maiden......" Xu He said in surprise.

The woman giggled and said, "Yo, I didn't expect Xu Gongzi to remember the slave family!" ”

After speaking, she waved her hand and said, "This is not our hospitality, come on, help Xu Gongzi into the cabin to drink tea!" ”

When he arrived in the big cabin, Xu He was stunned to find that the layout was even more luxurious than the study of the big family.

Just the Yanghaohu pen on the pen mountain on the table is not affordable for ordinary readers.

The holy woman sat down opposite Xu He, picked up the teapot and tapped it, and then a cup of fragrant tea was placed in front of Xu He.

"Xu Gongzi, frightened, come, drink tea!" The corner of the saint's eyes smiled, but although she couldn't see her face, Xu He could feel that the other party had no malicious intent.

Xu He arched his hand and said: "Last time, I didn't thank the saint for her life, I don't know what to teach you this time?" ”

The saint said, "Young Master Xu, don't you wonder who I am?" Why did I save you? ”

Xu Hexin said that you hide your head and show your tail, if you want to say it a long time ago, can you wait until now?

But what he didn't expect was that after the saint finished speaking, her hand took off the veil from her face.

Xu He looked at it and said in surprise: "Yes, it's you ......"

The saint smiled: "I didn't expect the son to remember the little girl!" ”

It turned out that the saintess sitting opposite Xu He was the one who took him to visit the academy and receive them when he was in Hailing...... Su Shaoguang.

Xu He really wanted to break his head and couldn't believe that the saintess of a cult was actually the gentle and lovely prostitute Su Shaoguang in the academy before.

"It turned out to be Miss Su!" Xu He arched his hand and said, "I really didn't expect that you would be the saintess of Qingchamen!" But thank you for your life last time! ”

Su Shaoguang was slightly stunned when he heard the [Qingchamen] and said, "It seems that Xu Gongzi knows a lot about us?" ”

Xu He smiled and didn't pick up, what he knew about Qingchamen was limited to what the uncle had told him before, and there was no more.

But in this case, it's better to pretend to be mysterious, so that the other party can't figure out the details of themselves.

Su Shaoguang really stared at Xu He up and down for a long time, as if he was wondering how the scholar in front of him knew about Qingchamen.

However, after the tea, she didn't bother anymore, and said with a smile: "Last time in Yangzhou Mansion, thank you Xu Gongzi for speaking up and bringing Zhou Tianxiong to justice, otherwise, the little girl's sins will have to go to the Netherworld Mansion to find him again!" ”
