Chapter 190: Ranger Scholar
When the ferry turned into Yunmengze in Xiaozhou, a heavy rain came unexpectedly, and the wind and waves on the lake were not as good as the strong winds and waves at sea, but it also made the ferry sway with the ups and downs of the lake.
Qin Su pushed the window and looked out, only to see that the rain and fog outside were boundless, the water and the sky were the same color, and he couldn't distinguish the distance from the near and low, and he couldn't distinguish the southeast and northwest. For Qin Su, who likes to travel the most, it is really an unexpected joy to meet this beautiful scenery, she has passed by Yunmengze several times, but she has never sailed in the rain, and she can see it today, which is to make up for a small regret.
Li Xuandu just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and continued to cultivate the fragment of the "Cihang Pudu Sword Codex" that he had just acquired. The reason why he can be proficient in so many unique studies, in addition to his talent, relies on the word "diligence", on the other hand, Qin Su, he can't talk about being lazy, but he has too many hobbies and too many miscellaneous hobbies, and he has too much energy to disperse, even if he has the "fateful pass", it is difficult to catch up with Li Xuandu's footsteps.
However, neither of them interfered too much with each other, and at this time they both did their own things and enjoyed themselves.
At this time, in addition to Li Xuandu and his entourage, there were several groups of guests on the ferry, and a group of people were full of rivers and lakes, all of them were breathing calmly and their eyes were blazing, and they were also good at putting them on the rivers and lakes. The first person is an old man in brocade clothes, his eyes are gloomy like an old goshawk, his temples are bulging high, his hands are like hooks, and the green tendons on the backs of his hands are bulging. Beside the old man, followed by a young man, a boy and a girl, his temperament is even more soft and timid.
The other group of people is a family of three and the entourage, the couple is not bad, I think it is from an extraordinary background, the daughter of the two is just the opposite of the weak boy, heroic, quite a bit of a woman does not let the eyebrows mean. In addition to the three people, several servants all wore standard long knives, wearing the fine iron bracers that military attaches are accustomed to, although they were civilian clothes, but they did not hide their official status, even if today's government is not as good as before, after all, it can still deter Xiaoxiao and save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
These people are placed on the rivers and lakes, of course, they can't be regarded as small people at the bottom, if they are small people, they can't afford to sit on such a boat, but they can't be regarded as big people, and they can't reach the level of Li Xuandu and Dongxuandao, and they don't know anything about that night.
But these people are human spirits, the ferry is such a big place, the arrogant Zhang family and the young couple had a conflict that can't be hidden from them, not to mention that Zhang Gongzi didn't want to hide it, they all saw it in their eyes, but that Zhang Gongzi suddenly disappeared in the past few days, according to the guys on the boat, the room belonging to Zhang Gongzi and the white fairy was already empty, and the remaining servants were also closed, which made the two groups of people have some ominous premonitions, could it be that the young couple is a hidden master, and Zhang Gongzi has sunk to the bottom of the lakeThis made the hearts of the two groups of people awe-inspiring, and they didn't dare to offend Li Xuandu and Qin Su, but made the two happy and quiet.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the ferry had to take shelter on an island in a small lake. The two groups of people saw that the young couple was closed, so they put their minds at ease and came to the third floor of the boat, which was enough to accommodate thirty or forty people, but because of Zhang Shishui's monopoly, no one came up, and now that Zhang Shishui was gone, they naturally had to come up and take a look, otherwise it would not be a waste of money to take a boat.
Two groups of people gathered here, one east and one west, clearly distinguished.
Officials and bandits, temples and rivers and lakes, are not all the way. As for the people in the rivers and lakes who participated in the temple affairs, such as Li Daoxu, Zhang Jingxiu and others, although they are still people in the rivers and lakes, this rivers and lakes are no longer the martial arts of the rivers and lakes in the ordinary sense, but the rivers and lakes that are high in the temple and far away in the rivers and lakes.
The two groups were silent, each drinking the hot tea brought by the guy. After a while, the young lady of the eunuch family looked at the boy and the girl, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Are you a man or a woman?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the entire third floor suddenly froze, and a man in his forties directly pressed the blade on the table, as if he was about to do it without saying a word.
The girl was not afraid, but still looked at the boy with a smile.
The boy's face was red, and he was a little at a loss.
The old man frowned, a little displeased, I don't know if it was because of the girl's provocation, or because of the boy's cowardice, or both.
The girl's father was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with an elegant demeanor, although he didn't quite agree with his daughter's approach, but he didn't want to reprimand his daughter in front of outsiders, so he used a look at his henchman guard, who understood and held down his saber.
Just when the two groups of people were tense, two more people entered the banquet hall on the third floor side by side.
These two do not belong to either side, they are purely individual customers. One was a ranger dressed in ordinary clothes, carrying a sheathed iron sword on his back, and a vermilion wine gourd hanging from his waist. The other was a scholar dressed in black, wearing a square scarf and carrying a large bookcase, and the ranger was half a pound and eight taels.
The two seemed to be walking together, and as soon as they came here, they saw two groups of people who were tense and tense, and the ranger shouted: "What are you doing!"
This sound was not small, and the few people close to him only felt that their ears were "buzzing", and the scholar who was standing next to Ranger had already blocked his ears with his fingers, and a man who was a little farther away was frightened by this voice and almost pulled out his knife.
In this way, this ranger diverted the attention of two groups of people and successfully put himself in the position of public target.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the ranger was not afraid, stomped his feet fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Do you know that Zhang Gongzi offended the pair of fairy couples on the second floor, and they have been killed by others, and even the corpses have sunk to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish, and you still dare to shout here, so you are not afraid of annoying those two masters and killing you all?"
The two groups of people fell silent at the same time, and after a while, the girl said expressionlessly, "Only you are yelling, right?"
The boy and the girl also said weakly: "You stomp your feet like this, the people who live on the second floor should be able to hear it clearly, right?"
At this time, in Li Xuandu and Qin Su's room, the two looked up at the dust falling above their heads, and were speechless for a long time.
Ranger was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Don't care about these details, I just want to tell you, don't make trouble here, there will be no good results if you make trouble, everyone is out of the house, and be harmonious, how good." Brother Xu, do you think that's the case?"
The first half of the sentence was said to everyone in the hall, but the second half of the sentence was said to the scholar next to him, and the scholar nodded and responded: "What Brother Zhang said is extremely true. ”
After such a break from the ranger, whether it was a family of three from an official eunuch or an old man with a strong temperament, they all had no idea of doing it, and continued to drink tea separately.
The ranger surnamed Zhang and the scholar surnamed Xu found a table by the window in the corner, put down the iron sword and bookcase behind them respectively and sat opposite each other, and the ranger surnamed Zhang asked with a big grin: "Brother Xu, where are you going?"
The scholar surnamed Xu said worriedly: "I really don't hide it from Brother Zhang, a few years ago, Jiaci once went to Yunjin Mountain to burn incense and make a wish, and now it is time to repay the wish, but Jiaci is ill and cannot come in person, so I can only come in person to repay the wish on behalf of my mother." ”
The ranger surnamed Zhang was surprised: "That Yunjin Mountain is the ancestral garden of Taoism, where the Dazhen Mansion is located, and those who can come here to burn incense are either rich or expensive, it seems that Brother Xu has a good family background." ”
The scholar surnamed Xu smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it, if you say that a few years ago, my father was still there, and I could barely be regarded as having a thin family property, but since my father passed away due to illness, our family's life is not as good as day by day. ”
"Hey, you can't say that!" The ranger surnamed Zhang waved his hand and said: "The eldest husband is alive, there will always be a day to come out, but it is just a moment of frustration. ”
"Then borrow Brother Zhang's auspicious words. The scholar surnamed Xu didn't care too much and asked, "What about you, Brother Zhang?"
The ranger surnamed Zhang patted his chest: "Presumably Brother Xu, you have also heard of it, there is a happy event on Yunjin Mountain today, brother, I am also surnamed Zhang, I can't hide it, brother, I and the old Zhang family of Dazhen Mansion are also a little related, so I plan to join in the fun." ”
The scholar surnamed Xu let out an "oh" and said, "It turns out that Brother Zhang is also a disciple of the surname Zhang, why don't you go with that Zhang Gongzi?"
The ranger surnamed Zhang couldn't help but sigh and said: "The world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, look at that kid's arrogant appearance, where will he put poor relatives like me in his eyes, people are valuable and self-aware, I better hide away." ”
The scholar surnamed Xu also sighed: "The world is hot and cold, and the people are warm and cold. ”
At this time, in the guest room downstairs, Qin Su suddenly felt a palpitation, and said to Li Xuandu: "Brother Xuan, for some reason, I and I suddenly felt a little restless, and I always felt that something big would happen. ”
