Chapter Seventy-Nine: Qin Xuan
Xiao Hai chatted with Lao Ding Tou for a while, and then said goodbye to him and returned to his room in the first place, when it was already Yinshi, the river in the distance was already white. The morning light sprinkled on the sparkling water surface instantly turned golden. In the distance, the sun also crept out of the water, and Xiaohai finally experienced the grand scene of the sunrise river flowers and fire.
Xiao Hai was in a good mood in an instant, and his tiredness was eliminated a little. There are also voices outside the house praising the beautiful rivers and mountains, and it seems that they are all troubled by water thieves and can't sleep. Xiao Hai sat quietly cross-legged on the bed, running the innate Gang Qi according to the mantra, entering the cultivation state, and also letting his body be in a state of recovery. Gradually, I fell asleep.
When Xiaohai woke up again, it was already dusk. Xiao Hai pushed open the window to look, and a gust of river breeze blew on Xiao Hai's face, which was extremely refreshing. Xiao Hai pushed open the door and saw some literati and merchants on the bow of the boat enjoying the beautiful scenery, and even some literati picked up their pens and were chanting poems and painting. Xiao Haixin said that it seems that last night's thrilling really had no effect on these people.
At this time, a person who looked like a little second hurriedly went to spread the word, and after a while, someone came with a large tray of food. and ten taels of silver on it. Xiao Hai smiled.
Xiao Hai was eating, Lao Ding Tou also came, and the two of them happened to eat together, Xiao Hai told Lao Ding Tou about the silver, and Lao Ding Tou happily took the silver. Xiaohai also had a matter on his mind.
At night, Xiaohai deliberately slept late, afraid that the water thieves would think that the crew was slacking off and sneaking up again, but this kind of thing did not happen. Xiaohai fell asleep when he knew it was ugly.
Xiao Hai dimly heard a knock on the door outside, Xiao Hai took it and opened the door to see that it had arrived at Xiakou. The steward of the ship and the old man waited outside early, and Xiaohai was a little embarrassed, and slept until three poles in the morning.
After Xiao Hai and everyone greeted each other for a while, he and Lao Dingtou got off the boat.
Xiao Hai opened his mouth and said: "Senior Ding, I can go by myself, you hide at the gate of Ding's Mansion after dark, and then wait for me, if you can't wait for me at the time, please leave by yourself, I'm trying to find a way to find you." ”
Lao Ding Tou opened his mouth and said: "Then there is Lao Shaoxia, don't worry, I will wait at the door tonight, if Shaoxia is in trouble, Lao Yu will fight this old life and advance and retreat with Shaoxia, there is no reason to escape alone." Anyway, if I can't rescue my wife and children tonight, I don't think I have much chance in the future. ”
Xiao Hai said: "Senior Ding, don't think like this, the green mountains left behind are not afraid of no firewood, so let's do it, you just wait outside, if there is a situation, you can go to the government to report the case quickly." I try my best to hold them up, as long as the government arrives and your wife and children are coming out to testify, then Xiao Kun will not be able to argue, and the government will automatically arrest this person. ”
The old man said: "This is very good, the old man is waiting for good news outside." Please also be careful when the young man finishes his work. ”
Xiao Hai nodded, carried his sword, and walked into the lively crowd with his package.
Xiakou is really similar to Jiujiang, crowded with people, extraordinary human brains, and all kinds of vendors. Xiao Hai prepared to go to Fu Yin to take a look according to the map given by Lao Dingtou. Xiao Hai plans to walk through the locations marked on the map first, familiarize himself with the terrain here, and escape in case he misses.
Xiao Hai walked for nearly half an hour before coming to the mansion, Xiao Hai looked back and forth, and felt that there was no big problem, there were officers and soldiers at the door, and there were catchers patrolling nearby, managing public security, and recognizing the door. Xiao Hai turned around and was about to go to Xiao's Mansion, but as soon as he turned around, he saw that someone in the distance immediately turned his head to look at the vendor beside him, as if he was buying something again.
Xiao Hai thought to himself that it would not be, could it be that being nosy on the boat was remembered? Xiao Hai didn't pay attention to it, anyway, they didn't dare to do it during the day, they just went to familiarize themselves with the way of Xiao Mansion, and it was a big deal to walk around a few more times.
Xiaohai pretended not to pay attention, and ran to the man in front of him, who was still pretending to buy something. Xiao Hai looked at the vendor in front of the man, and said in his heart, just a few things that have not been picked for so long, for fear that others will not know that you have bad intentions? Xiao Hai smiled and passed by him. Then I ran down another alley.
After Xiao Hai walked for a while, he also pretended to buy something, and bought a hat from a vendor who sold hats, and then pretended to casually glance at the road when he came, the man was gone, but there was another man who happened to look at Xiao Hai.
Xiao Haixin said that you guys are too unprofessional, obviously you're following me, and you have to let me cooperate with you and pretend that you haven't been discovered.
After Xiao Hai bought the hat and brought it, he continued to walk forward. There were many people on the road, and Xiao Hai couldn't hurry out from behind who was following him, but Xiao Hai was sure that someone must have come specifically for him.
After Xiaohai turned several streets, he finally came to Xiao's Mansion, Xiao's Mansion was very spacious, and a vacant space in front of the door was not allowed to enter the vendors, but Zhaobi Ji Chang's house was still a lot worse, which shows how strong Ji Chang's strength is in the Iron Law Gang.
Xiao Hai deliberately walked through the door, and then walked around the Xiao Mansion again. There was an alley on the side of Xiao's mansion, there was no one in the alley, Xiao Hai looked in while walking, and then estimated that he had taken the wrong way, turned around and walked back, and sure enough, Xiao Hai found another person who suddenly turned his head and didn't look at Xiao Hai. Xiao Hai smiled and said that it was almost over, it was time to get rid of you. Saying that, Xiaohai walked into the crowd again.
At this time, when Xiao Hai was about to run quickly, a man with a hat, tattered clothes on his body, and a sword stuck in his waist suddenly appeared in front of him, and deliberately bumped into Xiao Hai. The strength directly knocked Xiao Hai to the ground, Xiao Hai was just about to reason with him, but this person pretended to help Xiao Hai when he said quickly and in a low voice: "The second alley in front, turn left." Then turn right at the third intersection and walk to the end to the banyan tree by the river and wait for me. Then the man got up and left.
Xiao Hai wondered in his heart, but he still did it, and after getting up, he walked forward quickly, showing a left turn, and then turned right according to what the man said, and after coming to the end, there was a small sea. There is a big banyan tree by the river.
Xiao Hai felt a little uneasy in his heart, this person just hit him, he was definitely a master, and what was the purpose of him falling to the ground? Is it friend or foe? When Xiao Hai was thinking about it, Xiao Hai came to the intersection where the man with the hat appeared.
Xiao Hai didn't answer, and the person with the hat came to Xiao Hai, and didn't pick up the hat and said: "At a young age, you walk with a tail, don't you know that those people have been with you for a long time? Let so many people follow you, it seems that your identity is not simple." ”
Xiao Hai saw the face of the person who came clearly at this time, a handsome face under the hat, which was completely inconsistent with his outfit, the man was in his twenties, and the murderous aura on his face was not concealed at all, and he looked a little cold at a glance. But he is very handsome.
Xiao Hai clenched his fists and said, "Then thank you sir for helping me get rid of my tail." ”
The man in the hat smiled coldly and said, "Count you smart, let's talk about it, why do they follow you, no matter how you look at it, you don't want to look like a rich person, and when you see that you are a foreigner, how can you fall in love with you? Or do you have something to do with Xiao Mansion?" After finishing speaking, Hai deliberately stared at Xiao Hai's eyes.
Xiao Hai was taken aback after hearing this, and then looked at the eyes of the person in front of him, and his heart was furious, and he said in his heart, Why does this person feel like he has no feelings? And how could he know that I have some connection with Xiao Fu?
Xiao Hai clenched his fists and said: "Sir, the day before yesterday, I helped the steward and officers and soldiers on the boat from Jiujiang to Xiakou to block a group of water thieves, I think it should be someone who is worried about revenge, right?"
The man in the hat was also shocked when he heard this: "Oh, you can actually stop the water thief, who are you?"
Xiao Hai smiled and said, "Does it matter who I am, why didn't Mr. tell me why he wanted to help me first?"
The man in the hat laughed, and suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed Xiao Hai, who was stunned for a moment, and then pulled out his sword from his waist and blocked his sword. The man in the hat saw that a sword was blocked, and then his footsteps did not stop seven or eight swords in a row, Xiao Hai blocked left and right, and Xiao Hai had no power to fight back.
Xiao Haixin said that it was really too deceitful, where did it come up and did it without distinguishing the reason, after Xiao Hai blocked a sword, his left hand suddenly moved, and the small sword in the sword suddenly separated, just separated, Xiao Hai's left hand fingers were moving, and the sword flew directly to the man in the hat.
The man in the hat was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and this retreat gave Xiaohai time to breathe. Xiao Hai's double swords ran directly towards the man with a hat in the soles of his hands and feet. The man laughed, not afraid at all. The sword swung twice in the air, and then came towards Xiao Hai, and the two fought together without saying anything.
This fight, Xiao Hai was even more surprised in his heart, the man with the hat faced Xiao Hai's double swords with ease, whether it was Xiao Hai's swordsman's sword, or the Gang Qi body, he could always find an opportunity to pose a threat to Xiao Hai. And the man with the hat was even more surprised that Xiao Hai's swordsmanship at a young age was already so superb, and what was even more strange was that his strange internal strength could actually take things from the air, and as long as one was not careful, he could be defeated in his hands.
The two sides fought for more than 20 rounds without seeing a victory, and at this time, looking at the man in the hat, he smashed Xiao Hai's double swords with a sword, and then the sword swung twice in the air, and suddenly slashed at Xiao Hai. Xiao Hai saw that the momentum was strong and heavy, and not only carelessly set up his two swords to resist the man's sword.
At this time, the man suddenly had a sweeping leg under his feet, Xiao Hai knew that jumping up would inevitably suffer, there were only a few actions that could be done in the air, the person in front of him was too agile, and he didn't dare to be careless, so simply, Xiao Hai's other leg kicked directly at the man's leg, and all the qi went to the leg, and when the legs touched, there was a bang, and Xiao Hai instantly felt that his legs were numb. But Xiao Hai held back, and said in his heart that the internal strength of the man in front of him was by no means under him.
But at this time, the man suddenly jumped back, and then carried the sword with one hand, and made a pause gesture with the other hand, Xiao Hai looked at him puzzled.
Look at the man again and say, "Don't your legs hurt?"
Xiaohai said: "It hurts, but I can bear it!"
The man said, "I'll put up with your brother-in-law!"
After finishing speaking, he sat on the ground and began to rub his legs. Xiao Hai was blindsided, he was still a cold swordsman just now, why didn't he pay attention to his image at this time? But this is more in line with his current dress. Xiao Hai didn't sit on the ground like him, but quietly let Gang Qi walk in the meridians of his legs, and the pain disappeared after a while, and the man got up.
The man spoke: "Heroic boy, you are really a genius at your age. Dare to ask where Xiaoxia is taught?"
Xiaohai said: "You say yours first, I'm thinking about whether to talk about mine." ”
The man laughed and said, "Okay, alert enough, it seems that your purpose in coming to Xiakou must not be simple." I can tell you where I came from, but you have to keep your mouth shut. I just saw what you were doing, and you said you could stop the water thief, and I believed it. With such a chivalrous heart, I believe you will be able to keep your mouth shut. ”
Xiaohai said: "I don't understand the logic, but I can keep my mouth shut." "Xiao Hai is actually really curious, who is the person in front of him who is on the ground, his strength is only above himself, and he is definitely not below me. With such a master, Xiao Hai must know the origin and purpose, otherwise he will add a danger to his actions tonight.
The man smiled and took out a token from his waist. The token is carved very exquisitely with pear blossom wood, and the number of lines seems to be afraid of being imitated. There are three words engraved on it: 'Six Doors!'
It's better if Xiao Hai doesn't look at it, and he is very surprised when he sees it! He has heard about the six doors, and the imperial court is a department that specializes in handling big cases. All of them are top masters, and the six doors are out of the horse, and they are successful. Moreover, the operation is secretive and unknown to the general public. Xiaohai has always felt that such a mysterious department is just a fabrication, and he never thought of seeing it alive.
But Xiao Hai thought about it, what if it was also a swagger, so he asked, "Should this game be real or fake?"
The man almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and said: "It's genuine, I saw that your little brother is good, so I took it out to show you, what do you think I can deceive you? Money, do I want you money, or do I want you to look?"
Xiao Hai heard this, hugged his shoulders and leaned back and said, "Don't lie to me from my country, I'm easy to be fooled." ”
The man laughed and said, "Interesting, it's really interesting, it would be great if I was a disciple of Taihang Mountain!"
When Xiao Hai heard this, he said, "Are you from the Taihang Mountain Sword Sect?"
The man smiled and said: "If it is fake, Qin Xuan, a disciple of Taihang Mountain, is also! The current Six Doors are fast, dare to ask Xiaoxia's name?"
Xiao Hai said with a smile: "Brother Qin, my name is Yan Xiaohai, I know Lu Yiming of the Taihang Mountain Sword Sect!
The man looked at Xiao Hai in surprise and said, "Do you still know that kid? Then you must be a good person, right?" But that guy didn't have a serious line for a day, and he didn't have a serious word in his mouth, which is really embarrassing, but fortunately, this guy is talented and willing to work hard, and he is also a good boy. When I left the Taihang Sword Sect back then, he was not much older than you, and I hadn't seen him for six years. Hehe, I still miss him a little. ”
Xiao Haixin said, no wonder Qin Xuan's behavior is so contrasting, the tradition of Taihang Mountain. He didn't have a proper line, and he even had the face to complain about Lu Yiming.
Xiao Hai smiled and said, "Brother Qin, why did you help me just now?"
Qin Xuan said: "I came here to handle the case, I have been here for half a month, I have seen the water thieves who are following you before, they have been beating Xiao Kun's attention, but they have not made a move, today I happened to see that they were following you, and it is not easy to think about your identity, so I helped you out of the siege first, I never thought that you had a grudge with them before." ”
Xiao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I met this group of water thieves on the boat, so... ”
Xiao Hai didn't finish speaking, he suddenly froze, Xiao Haixin said that this group of water thieves has been staring at Xiao Kun for a long time? Last night, the behavior of the water thieves didn't look like they were going to rob ships? As soon as he landed on the shore, he was targeted? As soon as the thief left, Lao Ding Tou appeared? How could he know that I had saved someone? Old Ding Tou had a deep hatred for Xiao Kun, but what does this have to do with me?
Xiao Hai fell into deep thought, Xiao Hai didn't dare to think about it anymore now, after all, he didn't believe that it was true when he killed Xiao Hai.
