Chapter 224: Make a Grimace
The two turned around and walked through the dense forest again, to the snow where Hong Tianbao had an accident before.
"I hid the bag under that pine tree. He said, walking over there, "It should still be ......."
Shen Yun shouted to him: "I picked it up just now." ”
Hong Tianbao turned back again.
Shen Yun took it out of his sleeve pocket, handed it to him again, and said, "I got this storage bag from two evil cultivators. I've taken care of it and there's nothing wrong with it. Just to be on the safe side, in the future, you don't take it out in front of people. ”
Although Hong Tianbao is in the provincial capital, and the two scattered cultivators who have come back from the dead are mainly active around Shiqiaofang City, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not meet each other. Previously, he was not thoughtful and gave away the seized things. It's hard to take it back now, so I can only tell a few words. Fortunately, Hong Tianbao has not yet condensed his true qi, and he can't use this half-crippled Qiankun bag, at best it is a collector's item, as long as he doesn't show his heart, there are not many opportunities to show it.
"I know. Hong Tianbao nodded and took it, carefully put it into his arms, and asked, "Brother Yun, do you know the origin of those three people?"
Shen Yun nodded, took out the black wooden plaque with the word "punishment" from the treasure bag, and handed it to him: "Do you recognize this thing? I searched it from the guy behind the palace." ”
Hong Tianbao took it and took a look: "The fast arrest sign of the Yamen of the Criminal Department." He looked up in astonishment, "This ...... They are the arrest of the yamen of the criminal department? I have nothing to do with the yamen of the criminal department, what are they doing to arrest me secretly?"
Shen Yun glanced at him and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, I overheard the tall and thin man just now. Listening to their meaning, they originally wanted to catch a 'beautiful man who is in the wind with a jade tree, a dignified appearance, and Yuanyang is not lost'. Their superiors forbade them to take any more captives in the city. After two days on the official road, the deadline for the transfer was approaching. The thin man thinks that your Yuanyang is still there, so he grabbed you, the fat man, to make up the numbers. ”
Sure enough, Hong Tianbao listened, the look on his face was like a marquee, and he changed several colors in a blink of an eye, which was very interesting.
"Damn!" he kicked the snow on the ground angrily, "I actually peeped at Lao Tzu's Yuanyang, and I still think Lao Tzu is fat!
Well, that's not the point. Shen Yunyan turned to the right point: "I don't know what the hell their Immortal Mansion is doing." Well, you'd better take a boat instead. Yongshun Port is less than thirty miles away from here, and I will accompany you on a trip. ”
Hong Tianbao looked at his face with a thick beard and said with a smile: "It's cold, it's too troublesome." Why don't you give me a look and pretend to be an old man. Isn't that all right?"
Shen Yun glanced at him again: "You pretend to be an old man, and you are flawed from head to toe." Besides, on such a windy and snowy day, do you see an old man riding out alone?"
Hong Tianbao was speechless, so he had to nod: "Okay, listen to you." "Fortunately, Brother Yun caught up with him again today, otherwise, God knows what the hell he would encounter after he was taken away by those three animals. From last year to the present, there are more than a dozen "beautiful men in the wind of Yushu, dignified, and unlost Yuanyang" in Xiandu, who are born and do not see people, and they do not see corpses when they die, just like the world has evaporated. As far as he knew, several of them were the children of immortal officials.
With a move in his heart, he said anxiously: "Brother Yun, the water in the Yamen of the Immortal Mansion is deep. It can be implied that the arresters of the yamen of the criminal department have kidnapped people one after another, and it is by no means an ordinary person. After returning to Xiandu, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. ”
"Yes. Shen Yun sighed, "In such troubled times, there are too many grievances. I only hate myself for being too weak. With his current ability, he can only save Hong Tianbao from the three fast catchers. As for the shady scene of this matter, there is also the black hand behind the scenes...... He knew how many pounds and taels he had.
However, it is not completely indifferent. For example, if he encounters a captive again, he will still come to the rescue, no matter who is being captive.
In short, in troubled times, the first thing is to protect yourself, as well as the people around you, before you can talk about others. Master used to tell him that he should eat as much as he had when he had a big belly. He has been wandering alone for many years, and he has become more and more deeply aware of the ability of the moment. Recklessness is the most important thing, harming others and oneself. Just do what you can.
When Hong Tianbao heard this, he was relieved.
The two of them went down the mountain, rode together, and drove quickly in the direction of Yongshun Port.
When he was about to arrive at Yongshun Harbor, Shen Yun washed off his disguise with a potion, and only smeared his face as before.
Yongshun Port is the waterway gateway of Xiandu, and there are many ships coming in and out every day. It's just that the weather is a little bad now, and I may not be able to catch the boat. They planned to find an inn in Yongshun Harbor for a night or two if they didn't have a boat. It stands to reason that in two days, there should be ships heading south. As a result, Hong Tianbao's luck was really good. When I arrived at the pier, I saw that there was a big ship about to start. The two of them went over to ask, and they happened to be heading south.
"Is there a separate cabin?" Hong Tianbao, who had just been taken away once, still had lingering palpitations, and it was inevitable that the grass and trees would be soldiers.
The person who picked up customers on the dock was a middle-aged uncle with dark skin, who replied with a smile when he heard this: "Yes." We are the boat to the south. I just arrived yesterday morning. I didn't expect to encounter heavy snow as soon as I came. The proprietor said that depending on the weather, the port would be frozen in the next two days, and he was worried that the ship would not be able to go out, so he urged the hosts to unload the goods quickly, and sent the small ones to the shore to collect passengers. If you get one, count it as one, so you can reduce some of the cost. It's so cold, and there are few people going out. So far, the little ones have only received a dozen or so guests. Most of them have to live in Chase cabins. The rest was a small couple who lived in the smallest cabin. There are four separate cabins left for you to choose from. ”
Hong Tianbao saw that he was dressed decently, and he was articulate, and his official dialect was only slightly with a southern accent, and his words were clear and coherent, not like an ordinary boatman, so he asked: "What does this uncle do on the ship?"
"Deserved, deserved. The uncle waved his hand again and again, "The little one's surname is Leng, and he is the cabin steward on the ship." Are the two sons going to take a boat?"
"Oh, he doesn't sit. It's just me on the boat. Hong Tianbao pointed to himself, "I want a separate cabin, no matter how big it is, but it must be quiet." ”
"Is this horse yours? We have a special barn on board for horses. The cold steward asked again.
Shen Yunxin said, "It's just right", handed over the reins in his hand, and gave it to Hong Tianbao.
The latter did not answer: "I have a boat to sit on, why do I need a horse? Besides, the horse from the north does not know if it will be unsuitable for the water and soil when it reaches the south." When we get to the south and get off the boat, I'll buy another one. Depending on the sky, it may snow heavily. You should ride it and get back to the city as soon as possible. ”
Yes, there is no shortage of silver. Shen Yun smiled and didn't insist any longer: "I'll accompany you to sit in the cabin." Wait for the boat to leave and come down. ”
This can be had. Hong Tianbao responded happily.
When the cold steward heard this, the smile on his face was even worse, and he enthusiastically led the two of them to the boat.
At this moment, an anxious woman's voice came from behind, speaking in a thick southern accent: "Uncle, is this boat going to the south?
Shen Yun and the others couldn't help but stop, and turned around with the cold steward.
A woman in her twenties, wearing a stone blue inlaid with silver rat fur Guanyin Bag, covered most of her face. She took a child in one hand and hurried towards them.
The two children, one older and one younger, the older one looked to be eight or nine years old, and the younger one looked like he was six or seven years old, both dressed thick and sturdy, dressed as boys.
However, Shen Yun is a healer, and he has learned the disguise technique, and after condensing his true qi, his eyesight has also improved by leaps and bounds. He could see at a glance that the woman also had true qi to protect her body, only slightly inferior to him (this was seen in a book in the Hundred Treasure Bag, saying that if she could see through the opponent's skills at a glance, then it would prove that the opponent's skills were not as good as his own), and that she should be equivalent to the appearance of an intermediate martial artist, and the smaller child she wore on her right hand was a girl.
As if noticing his gaze, the little girl playfully spat out a little pink tongue at him and grimaced.
Shen Yun was embarrassed and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"It's the boat to the south. The boat will be sailed later. The cold steward hurriedly asked, "Does my wife want to take a boat? There are many empty cabins on the ship." ”
"Great. The woman bowed her head to the two children with joy, and said, "Children, we have a boat to sit on." ”
Both children were smiling with crooked eyebrows.
