At the beginning of September in the ninth year of Jinghan, the spring was bright, and the huge building boats sailing upriver slowly sailed through the waterway of the Yangtze River, with lush trees on both sides, and occasionally flashed in the field of vision the rice fields, farmhouses and villages.

Ye Zixun stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, enjoying the surrounding scenery.

He came to the New World this time to relax, but it wasn't until he discovered Ning Yi's existence that this trip to the heart became a classic case that could be recorded in the history of the alliance.

Now he and Li Yun and Zuoyu have submitted their applications.

Boss Lin also passed the review and allowed an indigenous time-traveler like Ning Yi to join the alliance.

The troubles have finally come to an end, and he can finally enjoy the leisurely life in the low-martial world.

This building boat is the largest boat that can be found in the inland waterway so far, and even if it goes up the Yangtze River, the journey is quite smooth.

The ship was divided into two floors, and Ning Yi, Ye Zixun and others were arranged by the people of the government to be in the room on the first floor where they could not feel the bumps because they were pregnant with Su Tan'er.

Of course, Su Tan'er's pregnancy is only a superficial reason for sounding better.

What really worked was Ning Yi's credit and his relationship between the DPRK and China.

After everyone arrived in Huzhou, a letter was sent from the Secret Investigation Department sent by Qin Siyuan, the right minister, praising Ning Yi's deeds in Hangzhou and sincerely inviting him to come to the capital again to help.

This time, Ning Yi did not refuse, but just said that he would go back to Jiangning first, deal with trivial matters, and then set off for Beijing.

On the other side of the deck, Lu Hong looked at Ning Yi's side face beside him, and suddenly spoke.

"After disembarking this evening, I will go north, and I will not enter the city."

Ning Yi was silent for a while, and said softly: "I know you're in a hurry to go back, but it's not bad for a few days, not to mention that I still have some ideas, and I haven't completely sorted them out, so you might as well stay first and leave in two days." ”

Lu Hongti smiled, shook his head and said, "No, I've seen the things you organized, and it's enough to have these...... This time, I have been away from the village for too long, and I have some worries and worries in my heart, so it is better to go back as soon as possible. ”

“…… All right. Ning Yi sighed, "I'll speed up the tidying up tonight and try to hand it over to you before I get off the boat." ”

"Thank you."

Lu Hongti arched his hand.

Ning Yi smiled and waved his hand: "They are all children of the rivers and lakes, there is no need to say these hypocritical words." ”

Seeing Ning Yi put on a chivalrous posture, Lu Hongti couldn't help laughing: "By the way, I also wrote you a small notebook, not the kind of cheats you said in those martial arts stories, but it should be useful to you, you practiced martial arts too late, your muscles and bones have been decided, and it is estimated that you will not be able to become a first-class master in the future, but if you continue to practice, after three or five years, you will have more than enough self-defense." ”

“…… Not necessarily! Ning Yi smiled mysteriously.

Now that he doesn't practice martial arts, he has changed to an immortal!

With the cultivation speed assisted by the gray mist coin, after three or five years, it will have to be the late stage of qi training, and even build a foundation, not to mention self-defense at that time, even if it is a so-called great grandmaster, it is just a matter of a flying sword.

Although Ning Yi didn't need any martial arts cheats now, he still accepted Lu Hongti's kindness.

"That's right." Recalling the description of the realm in the book "Qinglian Changchun Gong", Ning Yi couldn't help but be curious, "You haven't said yet, what is the concept of the so-called first-class masters and martial arts masters in this world?" ”

Lu Hongti thought for a while and said: "The master of Liu Zhai in the Badao Battalion, as well as the head of Liu Tiannan, Chen Fan, Fang Qifo, and Li Tianyan, are all first-class masters, and as for the grandmaster, the iron-armed Zhou Dong should be regarded as a recognized grandmaster figure in the world." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Hongti paused and glanced at Ye Zixun's back at the bow of the boat.

“…… And then there are your three brothers. ”

"But I'm not sure if they are grandmasters, after all, fists are afraid of being young and strong, and the same is true for grandmasters, and this is the first time I've heard of such a young grandmaster...... It is estimated that in front of them, Zhou Tong is not an opponent. ”

Ning Yi said with great interest: "So Zhou Dong is the Acquired Grandmaster, and my three brothers are the Innate Grandmaster!" ”

Lu Hongti was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Innate, acquired?" ”

Ning Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about setting a realm for the world's martial arts masters, and when the time comes, I will compile a booklet of the Jianghu master rankings and come out......"

Lu Hongti was puzzled: "This ...... What's the point? ”

"That's a lot of sense!"

Ye Zixun's excited voice came from the side.

The two turned their heads to look at Ye Zixun who walked over from the bow of the boat.

"You're eavesdropping......"

Lu Hong glanced at him, and his face was not very good-looking.

Ning Yi smiled: "Third brother, do you want to be the first in the world, or the third in the world?" ”

Ye Zixun said without hesitation: "Of course it is the first in the world!" ”

Lu Hongti was suspicious: "Can you beat Zuo Yu and Li Yun?" ”

Ye Zixun replied honestly: "I can't beat it...... But I know that they don't care about false names, when the time comes, you can arrange it casually, fourth brother, and give me the title of the number one in the world. ”

“…… Is it? ”

Lu Hongti recalled Zuo Yu's appearance, and couldn't help but be a little skeptical about this evaluation of 'I don't care about false names'.

Ning Yi knew that Zuo Yu's personality was out of tune, and he probably had a game mentality for this kind of thing.

For him, it is good to be able to get the title of No. 1 in the world, but without a ranking, he will not care.

"What about the names of the rivers and lakes?" Ning Yi asked with a smile.

Ye Zixun thought for a while: "I don't really like the thunder, so when the time comes, I will change it to a shadowless hand, or you can give me a more mysterious name...... Anyway, it can't be a sword like this! ”

Ning Yi smiled and nodded, agreeing to come down.

At this moment, the waves crashed against the hull of the boat, and several black figures in human form flashed from the water.

Ye Zixun caught the movement under the water, immediately raised his eyebrows, and the silver light flashed in his right hand, as if he took out a flying knife out of nothing.

In the next second, Ye Zixun threw out the flying knife in the surprised gazes of Ning Yi and Lu Hongti.

The knives cut through the air and penetrated into the water without causing the slightest splash.

The sun shone on the water, and Lu Hongti keenly caught a touch of silver light, which was not the light refracted by the water, but a slender silver wire attached to the root of the knife.

"Come on, you!"

Ye Zixun laughed, and pulled the silver wire with his right hand violently.

"Plop!"

The water splashed, and a figure was dragged up by Ye Zixun, covered in water, and smashed on the deck.

Ning Yi frowned, and his right hand quietly rested on the handle of the gun in his arms.

Lu Hongti's face turned cold, and he pulled out the sword at his waist and put it on the man's shoulder.

“…… Who are you?! ”

The man was naked, wearing only a pair of close-fitting shorts, and his limbs were firmly entangled and bound by the silver wires, and every time he moved, the skin would be cut through by the silver wires and sink into the flesh.

It was late autumn and the weather was getting colder.

When I was underwater, it was fine, but once I got ashore, I was immediately shivering from the cold.

Coupled with the pain caused by the silver filament cutting the skin, the man's face turned pale and his teeth chattered.

But even so, he still didn't snort, even if the sword was added, he didn't say a word, but a trace of determination flashed on his face.

Lu Hongti's face changed slightly, and he immediately turned the sword body and slapped it sideways on the opponent's temple.

"Smack-"

There was a crisp sound, and the naked man rolled his eyes and passed out.

Lu Hongti quickly stepped forward, pinched the man's cheek, and with a slight force, removed his chin.

Ning Yi frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

“…… He's going to kill himself. ”

Lu Hongti broke off the back molars from the man's mouth, and regardless of whether they were clean or not, he raised them and sniffed them.

"It is a poison mixed with the sap of arrow poison wood, which is extremely poisonous, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'seeing blood and sealing the throat'."

"......," Ning Yi looked at the man in surprise, "It's still a dead man." ”

"It's finally getting interesting!"

A smile appeared on Ye Zixun's face, and with a flick of his wrist, the silver filaments and flying knives wrapped around the man's body spun around on their own, returning to Ye Zixun's hands in a way that Lu Hongti couldn't understand.

In the next second, Ye Zixun threw the flying knife into the water again, and with a sharp lift, a figure flew out again.

This time, without waiting for Lu Hong to raise his hand, Ye Zixun grabbed the other party's chin, and with a strong spit out of his fingertips, the highly poisonous back molars flew out of his mouth and fell into Lu Hong's palm.

Such a subtle control of strength made Lu Hongti breathtaking.

But Ning Yi knew that this guy had the art of imperial objects, and he was actually a sword immortal in essence.

"Bang!"

Ye Zixun threw the naked man in his hand onto the boat, and then shot again, grabbing out all the people under the water, and concocted it in the same way.

It's a pity that they seem to have realized that there are masters on the ship, and the two people who were caught in the end swallowed the poison early, leaving only Ning Yi and Ye Zixun with four alive.

"What do they want to do?"

"Scuttling, of course!"

Ye Zixun replied with a smile, and as soon as his right hand flipped over, a chisel appeared in his palm.

Ning Yi raised his hand to take it, played with it for a while, and suddenly said, "Third brother, someone wants someone's life on this boat." ”

"Oh?" Ye Zixun asked with great interest, "Who is so unlucky to be targeted?" ”

Ning Yi looked at him and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I always feel ...... It could be me. ”

"Huh?"

Ye Zixun blinked and asked curiously, "Who wants your life, is it the Chen family in the capital?" ”

Ning Yi thought for a moment and shook his head calmly: "No, Brother Wenren will not betray me, and he will not dare to betray me." ”

Ye Zixun frowned and said: "Then who else can it be, the way we took the Tang family, we also sat on the official ship, and dared to do it to you here, in addition to having enmity with you, he also had to know the way to know the itinerary of the official ship, and the confidence to dare to do it......"

"You killed the head of the Chen Catcher of the Six Gates, and the power of the Chen family in the capital is not small, which is most in line with these characteristics."

"Except for the Chen family......"

Speaking of this, the words in Ye Zixun's mouth came to an abrupt end.

Ning Yi also seemed to remember something, and the two glanced at each other, their faces a little complicated.

“…… It shouldn't be him, right? ”

"If it's him, it's too childish to send only a few dead men to scuttle the boat."

Ye Zixun frowned, and his face was a little ugly.

Ning Yi shook his head: "You can't make judgments, let's arrest them first, and when we get ashore, I will ask the people from the Jiangning Secret Investigation Division to interrogate them and see if they can ask anything ......."

Speaking of this, Ning Yi paused, looked at Ye Zixun and said, "If it's really him......"

Ye Zixun frowned, and just wanted to speak, when his expression suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look at the river.

I saw dozens of sailboats floating on the river on both sides of the boat, and the boats were full of figures holding swords.

It looks aggressive, and the comer is not good.

"I knew ......"

Ning Yi sighed and took out the platinum-gold pistol from his arms.
