The merchant ship docked steadily at the ferry and did not move for a long time.

Just when the three of them were puzzled, a team of people came up on the street in the distance, escorting more than ten truckloads of goods of all sizes until the ferry stopped.

Seeing this, the three of them immediately cheered up and stared closely at the movement on the ferry.

At this time, a person slowly walked out of the merchant ship, got off the ship and docked with the people and horses escorting the goods, and opened the box to take a look at it, and then nodded. But far away, Li Chouxin and the others in the dark did not see what was in the box, but they saw clearly the leader of the escort goods, this person was Lu Zhe, the housekeeper of Hu Jin's house.

After the three of them saw that it was Lu Zhe, they concluded that what they were escorting should be the truth of the matter, and they couldn't hide their joy in their hearts.

"Look, on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, Hu Jin's housekeeper will transport a batch of goods here, and the thunder will not move, but sometimes it will be escorted by Yan Zefa, Hu Jin rarely shows up, but occasionally he will stop with Yan Zefa on the grounds of checking the city defenses, and stop at the entrance for a while, thinking that the things in this box should be the key to us opening the situation." Xu Sanqiu whispered to Luo Dafu beside him.

Luo Dafu looked at the picture on the ferry and nodded, "It's really strange, how can you trade with the merchant ship Yueyue?" There must be something strange in it. ”

When the three of them were still discussing, the person escorting the goods had already loaded more than ten boxes onto the merchant ship, and then the person who came forward from the merchant ship took out a notebook from his arms, and drew a circle on the book under Lu Zhe's gaze, Lu Zhe took the book and checked it and nodded with satisfaction, and then quickly left the ferry with people.

Li Chouxin said at this time: "It seems that the book in that person's arms should be the proof of their transactions, and they have to find a way to get it." ”

Luo Dafu and Xu Sanqiu nodded to Li Chouxin in agreement.

After Lu Zhe and the others left, there was no sign of anchoring the merchant ship, thinking that it should be late at night, and they would dock here for one night before leaving, which also gave the three of them a chance to get on the ship to check.

The three of them waited for a long time, and after seeing that the lights on the ship were all extinguished, they planned to leave to check.

"Brother Xu, you stay here to observe the changes around you, I will go with the worried brother to investigate, if there is a change, you can whistle in time, and you can get out later." Luo Dafu said to the preface Sanqiu.

After the arrangement was made, Luo Dafu and Li Chouxin took out the black scarf from their arms to cover their faces, and cautiously approached the merchant ship.

Xu Sanqiu watched Luo Dafu and Li Chou get on the boat, and began to feel nervous in his heart, after all, he didn't know how many people were on the ship, and only one person had appeared from beginning to end, so he was inevitably worried.

The surroundings were dark and silent, Li Chouxin and Luo Dafu got on the boat, and approached in the direction of the cabin, the two who were already very careful should have no problem, but they never thought that they had just approached the cabin, and they were discovered, and for a time all the lights on the ship were lit, illuminating the entire ferry.

Suddenly, all the men and horses on the ship gathered on the deck, surrounded the hull, and slowly walked out of the cabin, led by the man who had just come forward to trade, and there was a person behind him, who seemed to breathe steadily, his steps were light, and half of his mask hung on his face, which looked very mysterious.

"Where did the little thief come from, he dared to fight the idea of my Taihe merchant ship, and he didn't take me in the eyes of someone." The man in the lead said as he walked out, with an unstoppable expression.

Xu Sanqiu looked at the scene on the boat, anxious, but helpless.

Li Chouxin and Luo Dafu slowly retreated to the deck, and there was no way to retreat, so Li Chouxin said: "Boss Quan, if I say that our brothers are too dark at night and get lost, and accidentally get on the boat, will you believe it?" ”

The man ignored the face and said, "Little thief, is I a three-year-old child?" I don't want to inquire about Quan, the Taihe, who has walked on this river for many years, what losses have he suffered? I didn't add any kind of bandits, but they all ended up with only one fate, and they were all thrown into the river by me and fed to the fish. ”

Luo Dafu said unhurriedly: "It seems that Boss Quan can find the two of us because of the one behind him, right?" ”

Quan Sheng turned around and looked at it, and said: "That's right, who doesn't know that there is such a master in my Taihe, since you are all here, I won't hide it from you, so that you can die later." This person is the famous 'Rock Splitter' Mr. Ba Qing on the rivers and lakes, under his Rock Splitting Hand, how many famous green forest heroes will not escape death after all, not to mention you two flies. To tell you the truth, as soon as you two stepped on the boat, Mr. Ba already knew. ”

Li Chouxin had never heard of such a master in the rivers and lakes, but Luo Dafu continued: "It turned out to be a famous rock splitter, no wonder he has this ability, but Mr. Ba has not disappeared for many years, how can he appear here?" ”

The man behind Quan Sheng stepped forward and said, "I can't imagine that after many years, there are still people who know the name of the old man, but today the old man will never let him go." When the old man was chased and killed, and his life was hanging by a thread, he was rescued by Mr. Quan, and then he stayed on the Taihe, which is also comfortable, it's okay to say more, let's do it, so that you can be reincarnated as soon as possible. After Ba Qing finished speaking, his hands turned red, and he began to burst into flames as if he was on fire.

Seeing this, Luo Dafu didn't dare to be careless, stopped Li Chouxin behind him, and stepped forward to deal with it himself.

Ba Qing struck out with a palm, and a huge fire handprint flew towards Luo Dafu, the handprint was huge, and it really had the power to open the mountain and crack the stone, Luo Dafu also hit a palm, and a palm print hit it like a cloud entanglement, and the two palm prints collided together, and suddenly the hull of the ship shook, and there was a huge explosion sound.

After the explosion, Ba Qing saw that Luo Dafu and Li Chou were safe and sound, so he charged up with a palm and flew forward to fight, Luo Dafu did not hesitate, and took it hard, the hull shook more violently than before, and the powerful power generated by the two palms spread from the hull to the water, and the calm water instantly exploded into the water, which was higher than the hull.

After the two of them exchanged palms, they both took a few steps back, still undecided. Li Chou saw that Luo Dafu's palm was hidden behind him and trembled faintly, his palm was red, and he felt that the situation was not good, so he flew up in the air and slapped a palm at the guard behind him, and the palm fell like a sword, and everyone in the bow of the ship was shocked into the water. Li Chouxin quickly pulled Luo Dafu and jumped to the ground, wanting to avoid the edge for a while.

It's just that when the two retreated to the ground, Na Ba Qing had already landed in front of the two to block the way.

Li Chou saw that he couldn't hide, so he said to Luo Dafu: "Brother Tai is resting on the side for the time being, and I will come to meet this rock splitter for a while." ”

After that, he blocked Luo Dafu behind him, stomped hard with one foot, and a bamboo stick rose in response, Li Chouxin took the bamboo stick in the air, and used a sword again, but there was no three feet three in his hand, and the power of the bamboo stick weakened a lot, a dazzling sword intent swung down, and the coercion was still strong, Ba Qing hurriedly hit the rock splitting hand, but the handprint was shattered for a moment without supporting the powerful sword intent, and the sword intent through the handprint continued to come towards Ba Qing, Ba Qing directly took his hands out of his palm, and this time he took it, However, the powerful sword intent made Ba Qing's Rock Splitting Hand back, and in an instant, Ba Qing's sleeves were all scorched, his arms were red, and the red flames were about to spread to his neck, and Ba Qing immediately sat down and blocked his luck.

When Izumi on the boat saw this scene, he was shocked and faintly uneasy. However, Li Chouxin did not continue to shoot, but pulled Luo Dafu and left quickly in the direction of Xu Sanqiu.

Seeing that the two were about to escape, Quan Sheng immediately ordered his men to chase after them.

As soon as he joined Xu Sanqiu, Luo Dafu spit out a mouthful of blood, and it seemed that he had just suffered an internal injury from his palm with Ba Qing. Xu Sanqiu hurriedly took out a pill from his body and asked Luo Dafu to take it, and the two did not dare to be careless, so they hurriedly helped Luo Dafu to flee back.

And Ba Qing finished pranayama and was about to catch up, but was stopped by Quan Sheng.

"Mr. Ba, may you know the identity of the other party through the fight just now?" Izumi asked suddenly.

Ba Qing shook his head: "Although the person who made the first move has some foundation, he has not yet practiced at home, but from the perspective of his skills, he is mediocre, and he can't see where he came from; And this second shot is even more incredible, the old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, but he has never seen such a strong and powerful swordsmanship, but looking at his appearance, he should have just cultivated for a short time, otherwise the old man would never have survived the sword just now. ”

When Quan Sheng heard this, he was surprised, "When did there be such a person in this Erling City, it seems that the transaction needs to be more cautious in the future, Mr. Ba, since he was injured just now, the matter of chasing people will be handed over to his subordinates, Mr. should hurry back to the ship to recuperate, and then he will have to rely on Mr." ”

After Quan Sheng finished speaking, he looked at the direction in which Li Chouxin and the others fled, and was silent for a long time. Ba Qing also turned back to the cabin to adjust.

Unexpectedly, Quan Sheng's subordinates were all practitioners, chasing after the three of them, and it was difficult to get rid of them for a while. However, the three of them knew that they must not go in the direction of the second and second floors or the Sanmiaotang at this time, so they discussed going in the direction of Zhangfu while running.

When he arrived near Zhangfu, Xu Sanqiu suddenly said: "Brother Luo, sad brother, you can't go any further, if you fight later and attract the attention of Zhangfu, it is very likely that we will be found out, I think we will solve the chasing people here." ”

When Li Chouxin and Luo Dafu heard this, they looked at Xu Sanqiu in surprise, and Li Chouxin took the lead in saying: "At this time, Brother Luo is already injured, and he doesn't have a long sword in his hand, so if you want to solve them, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." ”

And Xu Sanqiu said calmly: "Since the two of you made a move just now, it should be your turn to deal with these little minions now." ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Dafu, who claimed to be a friend, couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said: "Brother Xu, why haven't you heard that you can also martial arts in the past?" ”

Xu Sanqiu said: "If I only rely on this little talent to make a living in this Erling in the past eight years, I am afraid that I will die long ago I don't know how many times, I have not been idle in the past eight years, once on the second and second floors, I learned some rough kung fu from an unknown person in the rivers and lakes, let's talk about this later, and now I have to solve these chasing people as soon as possible." ”

After the three of them finished discussing, the people who were chasing and killing had already surrounded them, Xu Sanqiu motioned for the two to step back, and he stepped forward alone, and the two looked at the thin Xu Sanqiu, and their hearts were sweating.

Li Chou supported Luo Dafu and looked at the preface in front of him, and he couldn't figure out how this weak old scholar should retreat from the enemy.

However, Luo Dafu said: "Since Brother Xu said so, I think he is completely sure, after all, he is not the kind of person who blindly wades into danger. ”

Sure enough, the people who chased after him laughed when they saw Xu Sanqiu blocking in front.

"Why, even you, a thin waste, want to stop me and the others?"

"Hahaha, are you insulting yourself?"

"Brothers, don't talk nonsense, it's not too late to clean up the two of them after cleaning him up, this person should be used as a warm-up!"

“.......”

The words of ridiculing Xu Sanqiu were endless, but Xu Sanqiu didn't seem to hear it, he was calm and relaxed, and he bowed his head and didn't move.

Suddenly, one of them shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, brothers, go up together, catch the three of them as soon as possible and go back to the errand, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Suddenly, a group of people armed with swords rushed up.

Xu Sanqiu opened his hands at this time, crossed and looped in front of him, and then suddenly lifted his long coat, and waved the placket out of the attacking enemy, and in an instant, thousands of needles flew towards the group of people like raindrops, and before anyone could react, they were pierced by those tiny needles, and the dense flying needles made them die without too much pain, but when those needles flew in front of them, they had endless fear.

Li Chouxin and Luo Dafu were shocked when they saw Xu Sanqiu's performance, but they didn't expect that the literati in Wen Zou Zou's restaurant still hid such a unique skill of embroidering needles, which was really unguardable.

After killing people, Xuan Sanqiu returned to the two and said, "How is it?" You two, you didn't disappoint, did you? ”

When Li Chouxin and Luo Dafu heard this, they gave a thumbs up to Xu Sanqiu at the same time.

"Now that the trouble has been dealt with, what should I do next?" Preface Sanqiu asked seriously.

Li Chou Xin looked at the corpses that fell to the ground, pondered for a moment and replied: "This is very good, this place is within the scope of Zhangfu, if you want to come to Zhangfu, you will become the first object of suspicion, and it will buy time for our next actions, and now the top priority is to help Brother Luo heal as soon as possible, but the second and second floors cannot go for the time being, I think so, Brother Xu is now rushing back to the second and second floors as soon as possible, I will take Brother Luo to Sanmiaotang to heal, there are a lot of medicinal materials there, and it is also a lot more convenient." ”

Luo Dafu and Xu Sanqiu thought for a moment and agreed to Li Chouxin's suggestion, so the three of them acted separately and rushed to the second and second floors and Sanmiaotang respectively.

And Quan Sheng saw that the more than ten people he sent out had not returned for a long time, so he sent a few people to look for them separately, and it didn't take long for the news to be returned.

"Mr. Quan, the more than ten people sent out to chase and kill were all killed near Zhangfu, and all of them died under the flying needles, and their bodies were full of dense needle eyes, and none of them lived." After the person reported the news, Izumi was furious and kicked over the table in front of him.

"I didn't expect my Quansheng to suffer such a big loss in Erling City, since it is near Zhangfu, is it related to Zhangfu? It seems that this matter has to be considered in the long run, and it is not wise to offend the Zhang Mansion rashly. Izumi muttered to himself.

"Come, tell me to go down and raise anchors immediately, so as not to cause any extraneous branches." Izumi commanded with anger in his heart.

After a while, the Taihe sailed away from the Ngoling River crossing.

And Li Chouxin also returned to Sanmiaotang with the injured Luo Dafu, although it was late at night, Li Chouxin did not return, and the two sisters of the Ling family did not rest, and waited for Li Chouxin to return.

Seeing Li Chouxin returning home with the injured man, the two were startled, and Ziwei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Chouxin, what happened, who is this son?" ”

Li Chouxin looked at the two sisters Ziwei and Zhu Wei who were full of worries, and said: "Don't worry, after going to the banquet tonight, I got acquainted with this General Luo, and then went to check the matter of the ferry together, but General Luo was injured on the way, but the troubles on the road have been solved, so don't worry." ”

And Zhu Wei, who usually looked at the sidelines, pulled Li Chouxin aside and said, "Brother Chouxin, is this General Luo reliable?" ”

Li Chouxin patted Zhu Wei's head, turned around and said: "The two girls don't have to worry, this General Luo's name is Luo Dafu, he is the guard of Xifeng Pass, the captain of the light car, and he came to Oro this time to investigate the affairs of Hu Jin and Yan Zefa, and he is considered his own person." ”

After listening to Li Chouxin's introduction, the two sisters were able to settle their hanging hearts, so the two stepped forward to see Luo Dafu.

Li Chou said: "Now that we have met, the most important thing now is to heal Brother Luo's injuries, and ask Miss Ziwei to help decoct the medicine according to the prescription, and Miss Zhu Wei to clean up a guest room and come out." After that, he wrote down a prescription and handed it to Ziwei, and Zhu Wei also went to clean up the room.

After a while, Zhu Wei came to inform him that the room had been cleaned up. So he and Li Chouxin took Luo Dafu and walked to the room.

At this time, Ling Shantu heard the movement and walked out of the room, and saw that it was Luo Dafu who came, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General Luo, why are you here?" Is something happening at the border? ”

Luo Dafu saw Ling Shantu and said: "Ling Changshi, there is nothing to do at the border, Luo Mou came to Oro this time to investigate the illegal activities of Hu Jin and Yan Zefa, this matter has been reported to the middle and upper levels of the Ming Dynasty, but in order not to startle the snake, the official document has not yet been issued, I think the Ling family should also be persecuted by Hu Jin and others, this tumor has to be pulled out." ”

Li Chouxin wanted to say more when he saw Ling Shantu, so he interrupted: "Uncle Ling, General Luo is injured now, and it's not too late to talk after treating General Luo's injuries first." ”

At this time, Ziwei also came over with the medicine, walked into the room with Li Chouxin and Luo Dafu, and came out after putting down the medicine.

"Father, my sad brother said that I need to heal General Luo now, and I ask my father to go and rest first, and then discuss it tomorrow." After Ziwei explained the situation to Ling Shantu, who was standing outside the door, the two sisters and Ling Shantu went back to their rooms.

In the room, Li Chouxin first asked Luo Dafu to drink the medicinal juice, and then the two sat cross-legged, and Li Chouxin began to exercise to heal Luo Dafu's injuries.

For almost half an hour, Luo Dafu's internal injuries were basically fine, but Li Chouxin still informed: "Brother Luo, although the internal injuries are no longer hindered, it is better not to try internal strength in the next three days." ”

After Li Chouxin arranged for Luo Dafu to sleep, he slowly walked out of the room and returned to his own room.

Li Chou thought to himself, tonight with the rock splitter Ba Qing, his own sword was actually blocked, it seems that he has to continue to cultivate the heart trick, master the imperial object as soon as possible, and cultivate to a flying stream of three thousand feet, otherwise it will not be so easy to deal with more powerful opponents in the future.

So he took out the Mind Attraction Technique and continued to cultivate, through the previous cultivation, now it is a lot easier to cultivate, and it didn't take long to feel the power and idea of controlling foreign objects a lot more majestic, but Li Chou did not rush to experiment, but concentrated on continuing to cultivate, wanting to completely master the second layer of the Heart Attraction Technique tonight.

This practice is a night.
