Chapter 62: The Mortal Scholar
Liu Ji angrily turned around and rushed out of the cabin, the thief was cunning, and turned to flee, but he couldn't let him go, and when he saw the changes in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned again.
Under the boat, several members of the Baige Gang were wetting and dragging Li Yu, who was choked by the river half-dead, onto the boat, cheering: "The second master, take it!"
On the passenger ship opposite, Cen Jin led the sailors to tie up Li Wei's flowers, and a short-haired man in a brown shirt easily inserted his long sword into the scabbard behind his back.
Li Wei gasped, looked at the short-haired man, and stammered, "Yes...... Is that you?"
The short-haired man smiled: "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky." It was a great blessing for you to leave on that day, and you deserve it today. ”
Another beautiful girl in a brown short skirt gave Li Wei a slap: "It's them, pretending to be a doorman to deceive my brother, they should have died a long time ago!"
Of course, Li Wei recognized Ji Rui, the short-haired man in the brown shirt, and also recognized Dong Yao, the third lady of the Dong family, and wondered in his heart, how did they get to one place? That day, Qishan robbed Dong Zhuang, Ji Rui and Xue Yang fought against the Qishan pirate brigade with their own strength at the beginning, Li Wei was deeply impressed, this Ji Rui's martial arts and swordsmanship are so high, even if the king himself is here, he may not be able to pick it up, and he should be unlucky to appear here at this time, how can he be this person's opponent? As for how his younger brother Li Yu fell into the river when he was in a good position, he was even more confused.
I was quite excited at the moment, leaning on the eaves of the boat and barking at the opposite side, eager to shout out the four-character mantra loudly. This is to express joy, and the thing of swear words seems so uplifted when it is happy or angry, but unfortunately, there are so many people nowadays that it cannot be declared.
The direction of the foodless barking was directed towards the shoulder of the wind on the opposite side, but on her shoulder was the little squirrel that kicked in the air and was extraordinary. The others were unaware, only saying that Li Yu had fallen into the water, but the details did not hide from Ji Rui's eyes. No food: This is a greeting to my colleagues who are fighting side by side.
It's really a greeting, the girl on the other side is a strange person who can understand his meaning even if he doesn't speak, so Feng Yingxiu almost couldn't help laughing, and said to the little squirrel on his shoulder: "Mi Li, that guy is greeting you, saying that you are amazing...... Wait a minute...... I don't understand this last sentence, what kind of skin?"
Don't have to say it to Feng Yingxiu, the rice grains also happily jumped on Feng Yingxiu's shoulders, squeaking in response, whether people or animals, they like to listen to good words, especially, praise their own good words. Even Juan'er, who was beside Feng Yingxiu, was infected by the happiness of this little squirrel, and reached out and touched its long tail.
Seeing that Li Wei was escorted and sent to the ship, Liu Ji hugged his fist and arched his hand to the brown-shirted strong man opposite: "Thank you for the hero's help, the Baige Gang asks for the name of Gao." ”
"The micro-name is not enough to worry about, and the righteousness is what it should be. Ji Rui, a disciple of Jing Chuqian's family, visited the heroes of the Baige Gang and asked him to ask the leader of the Luo Gang on his behalf. "Ji Rui is now full of Jianghu tone.
"It turned out to be Ji Daxia, I have admired him for a long time, if I don't give up, please go to my gang to talk about it? If the gang leader knows that Ji Daxia is here, he will greet him. In fact, Liu Ji has never heard of Ji Rui's name, but seeing that Ji Rui defeated the notorious Li Wei within one move, martial arts, except for the gang leader, it is the only one in his life, and he can't help but feel deep admiration, and intends to invite him to join the gang and accept it.
Ji Rui also felt that it would be a great thing if he could make friends with the Baige Gang, but now the distance was tight, and he couldn't be delayed, so he had to thank him politely: "Thank you for the kindness of the second master, but I have something important in my lower body, and I am in a hurry to rush to Shuzhong, and I dare not obey it." When I came back from Shuzhong, I should meet the leader of your Luo gang. ”...,
"Ha Lu Ha, they are all colleagues in the rivers and lakes, naturally fast and fast-talking, since the hero has important things, the small can not be strong, my Baige Gang is ready to welcome the great driver of Ji Daxia. Liu Ji is also a cheerful person, with a bold and dry voice between words, and a great temperament.
Ever since she heard Ji Rui's self-introduction, Feng Yingxiu knew that her previous conjecture was correct, these people in brown shirts were really Chitang Xue Yang's classmates, Jing Chuqian's family, maybe it was really a good sect. Feng Yingxiu remembered the conversation with Cao Xiaopei last night, and faintly felt that it was really necessary to go and have a look at the Qianjiazhuang of Wangyue Valley in Lidong County, Wuling County.
Ji Yao, who was on the other side, also patted Wushi's head at this time, and whispered, "Rhubarb, don't you think the people around that sister are a little familiar?"
Juan'er was standing beside Feng Yingxiu, teasing the little squirrel rice grains, she didn't know that the child and the yellow dog on the other side had seen the banshee in her form.
(Press: "Tang Wu meets occasionally, the wind tiger and the cloud dragon.") Hundreds of years later, Wang Jiefu's poems are used to describe the seemingly casual coincidental encounter at this moment. )
※※※
There were always accidents, and Gan Fei had expected to start his own reconnaissance the next day, accompanied by Scaleless, or at least have a chance to meet and talk to the man in white he had seen on the battlements last night, but none of this went his way. Because obviously, on the second day, the entire Pingtao City dock was much more heavily guarded. The warriors in their arms and blades seemed to emerge from the ground in plain water, filling every nook and cranny of the city as far as Gaffy could see.
So when Gan Fei proposed to walk around at will, the warriors stopped him very seriously, which made Gan Fei feign lose his temper: "My son is a distinguished guest in the city, not a prisoner who is taken care of at will!"
"It seems that there are people with bad intentions in the city last night, and the guards of the city are searching, and I am afraid that it will not be good for Mr. Haihan, so please sit in the room, and be there as you need, and only do not move around at will. ”
The director spoke, and Gan Fei naturally didn't want to be strong anymore, so he sat in his room for a day, thinking about it repeatedly in his heart. The so-called Yunyun of unscrupulous people who sneaked into the city last night is probably also an excuse, this Pingtao City Dock is an important stronghold of the water demons, even if the grandmaster figure who has reached the peak of the Demon Dao, he may not be able to enter invisibly without realizing it, it should be that he has strengthened the guard on these deceived human scholars, maybe it has something to do with the man in white who saw last night.
According to Gan Fei's speculation, the situation of the man in white looking for things in the city must have been discovered in the end, on the surface, it is naturally not good to say much here, but there are many strange things here, and it cannot be visited by outsiders like this, so he found this reason, so as not to let the scholars be too laissez-faire.
The question now is what the man in white is looking for, or what his purpose is. Could it be that he is the same as himself, an impostor in the Demon Dao? Gan Fei felt that it was impossible, first of all, the secret technique of exchanging body qi was not found in the school of his sect, even if he was in this sect, only he and his third junior disciple Ji Mian would use this technique. Even if he had his own ability, it was impossible for the dust-related demon envoy who brought him to turn a blind eye, except that his situation was exactly the same as his own situation, but there was no such coincidence in the world. Gan Fei smiled a little dumbly when he thought of this, but a mortal who visited around at night, how could he not be a person who couldn't sleep at night and wandered around? It can only be said to be intuition, an intuition formed by a demon slayer who has been walking in the world for a long time. ...,
Gan Fei didn't think about this man in white for a while, he began to re-examine this Pingtao City Dock, there is no doubt that so many warriors in strong suits are all changed by the demons of the water, Gan Fei made a rough estimate, according to the situation they are scattered all over the city dock, I am afraid that there can be three or five thousand, three or five thousand monsters who can change the demon law, and I am a little shocked when I think about it. The key to coming here is to see how the realm of the water and the world of the world are integrated and intersected, although I guess that the water is a void realm, but before seeing the facts, no one can give a positive answer. This kind of thing, you can't ask no scales, this is a taboo in the Demon Dao, but if someone talks about it, he will immediately explode and die, which is very similar to some secret techniques of the Qianjia that rely on spells.
Then let's experience it for myself, anyway, I can live in the end, Gan Fei thought of this, and his heart was wide, really, the little junior brother's words of foreknowledge had an unparalleled strength for himself, as if all difficulties and obstacles could be solved.
Today's incarnate maids are obviously a lot of rules, only bowing down to the ear, and no longer see the previous deliberate teasing, this is a successful example, then, wait for tomorrow's welcome feast, with a fearless attitude to meet the old monster of the waves, the master of the Pingtao City Dock.
※※※
February 18 of the year of Ding Si, three quarters.
Although it was still the same as yesterday, everywhere I saw was full of samurai in strong suits, but the atmosphere was obviously much warmer, the drums of the greeting protocol kept ringing, and Gan Fei could clearly see that a group of monster changing musicians were holding Xiao Yinsheng and playing in a good manner. Gan Fei has never seen it, and this is probably the masterpiece of the scholars of the world who were brought by the demon envoy in the past.
This is a very large hall, the layout is a bit like the banquet place of the Jixian Garden of the Great Sima Mansion, but the binding arrangement is more luxurious, all of them are shining gold, and the floor is also a precious carpet. It seems that compared to poverty and luxury, demons are no less talented than mortals.
The master's position is still vacant, and the old monster has not yet appeared, and I don't know if Lu Dao really went to the county guard mansion and did not return, or he hid behind the scenes to watch the action, but seeing that today's banquet is so grand, it is impossible for him not to appear. So Gan Fei was not worried about this, he was placed on the left side of the master's position, which is the chief position that represents the dignity of the status. He finally met the man in white, although he was not wearing white today, but was dressed in a crimson brocade robe, but among all of them, he was the only one who had no beard, a feature that was easier to identify than just looking at his clothes. The man was placed in the fifth place on the right, and judging from the seats, it didn't seem to be too much of a high-profile place.
This position is very good for Gan Fei, because it is diagonally opposite, as long as he looks at the side slightly, he can see the person clearly, so Gan Fei smiled at the person from a distance, and he didn't know if the person saw it.
The scholars who came here were twelve people, including Gan Fei, and they also heard from the mouths of the servants in the city dock that there was such a Han scholar who was treated as a guest as soon as he came, not only lived in a mansion with a different identity, but even specially served him with beautiful maidservants, so the other scholars were a little jealous at the moment, especially when they saw Gan Fei sitting in the chief in a grand manner, and his appearance was not very handsome, the bitter jealousy of mortals began to rise.
"I don't know where Teng Gongzi came from?" a chubby, pimpled gentleman asked first with an arrogant expression.
Gan Fei looked at him very strangely, and didn't think he was rude, but he was very puzzled by his question, because everyone was a humble and poor person, and there was neither Xuanhe's family background for a while, nor the court to show off, and it was precisely because of this hopelessness that he would be deceived by the demon who was looking for a good talent in the world, and deceived this place, why is this guy opening his mouth is this old-fashioned?...,
Seeing Gan Fei's stunned eyes, the pimpled scholar smiled proudly and said: "Contemptible Yang Zhai Shiyu, during the Taining period, the ancestor of the family was the doctor of the prince's gate of the dynasty. ”
Gan Fei didn't know how big an official the prince of Lu Dao was, but the prince and princess were like bullshit in his eyes, so at least it was certain that at this time, Grandfather's official should be inferior to bullshit, and I don't know what kind of strength he was showing off?
Another middle-aged man with a scorched and withered face interjected: "As soon as Mr. Teng came here, he was treated favorably by the city lord.
Gan Fei scratched his head, almost wanting to call back the swine fever fart that called your mother, but because of the pretended identity of a scholar, he had to pretend to answer: "Teng has nothing else to do, only knows the ears of soldiers." ”
Gan Fei's words immediately caused several scholars to laugh, and the middle-aged man with a scorched yellow face seemed to have heard a big joke: "Knowing the soldiers, since you are a gentleman, how can you not go far from the Northern Expedition of the DPRK and China, but you did not invite the gentleman to accompany the counselor of the military plane? Isn't it that the minister of the Manchu Dynasty has no eyes and does not know the strategy of the gentleman? Moreover, the city lord here is Gao Yi, but he is a man of etiquette and music, and the soldiers are ominous.
Gan Fei's head was about to grow big when he heard it, obviously he was a Hansuke civilian who was not tolerated by the scholars and celebrities in the court, but he was still licking the asshole of the scholar doctor's pretentious high-mindedness, if the demons of the water needed such talents, this would be a really good thing for the Demon Dao.
Gan Fei didn't even bother to deal with them, these vulgar people tilted their heads and didn't say a word, but the middle-aged man with a scorched yellow face felt that he had made Gan Fei speechless, speechless, and sat on the seat with a smug face, deliberately putting the ridicule loud.
Fan Gongtai's entrance made the humming whispers of the scholars come to an abrupt end, and Fan Gongtai's respectful and solemn expression was very commensurate with his words.
"Pingtao City Yu City Lord has arrived!"
