It's March, the warm spring breeze blows on the face, sending bursts of wildflowers, the willow branches on both sides of the river like smoke hang upside down on the water, and sometimes there are swallows flying high and low in front of them. All this made Shen Chaixing feel lazy but excited, somehow, the world in front of him was very different from the past.

Shen Chaixing came to the shore of the moored boat, and when he looked at the boat closely, he felt much bigger than he saw it from afar. It's a building ship. The hull is almost fifteen zhang long and four or five zhang wide, and there are three floors above the deck. At this moment, a fat man of about forty dressed as a housekeeper was carefully passing through the gangplank on the shore. As soon as he got ashore, he walked towards Shen Chaixing.

Shen Chaixing saw him coming towards him, he hurriedly cleared his throat, and then gave a deep salute, just about to open his mouth to ask for a boat, but he didn't expect the fat man to frown and speak first: "Why did you come? Wait for you for a long time! Don't say anything, hurry up and get on the boat, it's about to start." After that, he couldn't help but say, and dragged Shen Chaixing's clothes onto the boat.

Although Shen Chaixing was confused, he was also secretly happy, thinking, could it be that I have practiced some "supernatural powers"?

After getting on the boat, the fat man took Shen Chaixing to a cabin on the ground floor, which had four beds, pointed to an empty seat and said, "You just live here, and I'll bring you a piece of our clothes to change into later." Before you came, Lao Wang told you that he had a good idea, right? Fifteen taels of silver a year, and the money will be settled at the end of the year. But five taels of them you have to honor me and the great steward. ”

Shen Chaixing then understood what was going on, there must be some "Lao Wang" who recommended someone to this housekeeper to do things, but I don't know why that person didn't come on time, or found the wrong place, and he was worn by Zhang Guanli. At this time, it is too late to explain, the boat has already sailed, Shen Chaixing wants to go with the flow, this is also not to blame me, if I tell the fat man the truth now, the fat man may throw me into the river if he is angry, then it will be troublesome. It's just that I don't know what the name of the person I am replacing is and what I am doing, and I was trying to figure out how to get "my own" name out of the fat man's mouth, but the fat man asked, "What is your name?"

Shen Chaixing nodded hurriedly and said yes, revealing his big name - Shen Chaixing. The fat man hummed and said: "It's not that the young master is afraid that he will look shabby when he goes to Jingshi, and he wants to find a literate follower to be a scholar, and this good job will not be your turn." With that, he turned around and went out.

Shen Chaixing looked around the cabin, although it was not very spacious, but it was many times stronger than the cave he had just slept in. I found an empty box with a lock under the bed, and put the contents in the lock. I just wrapped the jade pendant and the two booklets tightly in oiled paper and hid them closely.

After a while, the fat man brought the servant's clothes for Shen Chaixing to change into, and took him to the big butler. The butler, who was about fifty years old, was a fine old man, and at the moment he was smoking a cigarette stick in his room, swallowing clouds and mist. Seeing Shen Chaixing coming, he didn't raise his head, his small eyes opened slightly, he swept Shen Chaixing with a radiant look, and said to the fat man: "Liu Li, is this the person introduced by Lao Wang?" Shen Chaixing's heart tightened, and the big butler puffed out smoke again, and then continued: "I didn't expect Lao Wang to find such a character." ”

The fat man Liu Li hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "The big housekeeper is clear! I also thought that this kid was clever at the time, so I hired him immediately." ”

The chief butler said: "Teach him the rules of the house." Let's go down. After speaking, he closed his eyes and continued to swallow the clouds and mist.

The fat man led Shen Chaixing out of the room and said, "See, the big housekeeper and I have high hopes for you, you have to behave well, and the most important thing is to know the gratitude of the court." I'll take you to see the young master. Shen Chaixing nodded hurriedly yes, thinking: "When I get to Yingtianfu, I will slip away, and I will repay you as a servant all the way." ”

The two of them came to the cabin on the second floor, and as soon as they came up, they heard the sound of "ding ding ding" sword strikes. In a huge cabin, two young men were jogging with swords. There were still a few people watching.

I saw that the young man in the green robe and the slightly chubby face used a move "Seven Stars Filling the Sun" in one step, and fired seven swords in a row to attack the opponent from seven different angles. Another young man was dressed in a white power suit, with fair skin and a handsome face, and he waved his sword to block it gently, showing that he was at ease.

Shen Chaixing has profound internal skills, but he knows very little about this kind of actual combat martial arts, and he is even more happy to watch from the side at this moment in order to broaden his horizons. In addition to being able to practice profound internal strength, his "Great Wuxiang Gong" pays more attention to the cultivation of the mind and mind. At this moment, Shen Chaixing saw at a glance that the man in white was at least one level higher than the man in green, but he felt that the young man in white had scruples, so he kept his hands everywhere.

The green-robed young man saw that the long-term attack was fruitless, so he resorted to a style of "opening the sky", although this move has few changes, but it is extremely powerful in combination with Wudang's unique internal force, but because of this, he does not leave a back hand, and when he encounters a strong opponent, it is often easy to lose both, so he is not easy to use until he has to. Seeing him use this move, a gray-clothed young man watching the battle couldn't help frowning. This detail was also seen by Shen Chaixing, who was watching the battle, and immediately judged in his heart that this young man must be the same as the green-robed young man, and his skills were above the green-robed young man. "Da Wu Xianggong" unconsciously greatly expanded Shen Chaixing's mind, Shen Chaixing's heart at this moment is as pure as a child, but his intelligence is no less than that of a scheming adult. It's just that he doesn't know it.

After seeing the other party's move, the white-robed swordsman changed his relaxed expression just now and became serious.

I saw that the green-robed man's long sword couldn't help trembling in the air as if it was alive, and the angle changed slightly, as if he was catching the energy in the void, and as if he was looking for the best attack route. The sound of the sword when it fluttered became louder and louder, and when the apex of the sound was just the same as making a shocking blow "open the sky"!

The white-robed swordsman already felt locked by the opponent's sword qi at this moment, and any flaw would attract a fatal blow to the opponent's sword move, and it was difficult to ride the tiger, and there was no hurry to retreat. gritted his teeth and made the master's trick "three saints return to one". This style is a subtle move with a pin, with three swords lightly against each other, each blow will absorb part of the opponent's true power, to the third blow after the main and guest momentum has been reversed, the sword will contract the power of the two to stab each other. However, if the first three hits cannot fully absorb the true power of the opponent's sword body, the remaining true power of the opponent will also drive the sword to stab him, turning into the result of both sides dying together. With the strength of the two of them, once these two moves are used, the person will be controlled by the sword momentum, and he will not be able to help himself. The spectators hesitated, missing the opportunity to stop it. Tragedy seemed inevitable.

"Oooo Someone sneezed lightly at this critical moment.

The voice was not loud, but it seemed to be ringing in everyone's heads. The people who don't make internal force are okay, but the two people who are competing with the sword are cut off by this soft sound, and the sword momentum instantly disintegrates, and the swords of the two are intertwined, but they can't use it anymore.

The white-robed man was the first to jump out of the circle, hugged his fist at the other party and said: "Wudang swordsmanship is really good, Brother Liu has obtained the true inheritance of the Morning Wind Dao, and the younger brother is willing to bow down!"

The green-robed man was about to talk, when a sweet female voice interjected: "Senior brother, don't be too modest! Who doesn't know that your Lingxu swordsman Song Mu'an is the first person in my Emei Void Character Generation, and today you and my brother can be tied!"

When Shen Chaixing first came in, he swept the audience, and he had already seen a woman dressed as a young lady with a mustache in the field, but he was paying attention to the sword competition at the time and didn't care, and at this moment, he looked at the woman again, and suddenly his eyes lit up: I saw that this Shu was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, full of healthy youthful atmosphere, especially at the moment wearing a light green dress, which set off his skin as white as clotted fat.

It turned out that the owner of the ship on Shen Chasing Star was named Liu Chen, who had lived in Jingzhou for many years, and was now going to Beijing to take up the post of Hubu Langzhong. Jingzhou Zhizhou is from the five products, and this is subordinate to the Huguang Qing Officials, which is the fifth product, which seems to be promoted, but has no real power. But Liu Chen has his own plans, one is to find an errand for his son as a royal guard, and the other is to hope that his daughter can marry into the prince's family.

The man and woman in green clothes are Liu Chen's sons and daughters - Liu Jiajun and Liu Jiaqi. Liu Jiajun worshiped under the Wudang Morning Wind Gate, and the gray-clad young man was his junior brother Shi Wuxing. Daughter Liu Jiaqi worshiped under the Emei Jingyue Gate. The white-robed swordsman is his senior brother Song Mu'an. Most of the Emei faction are female disciples, but Song Mu'an is the nephew of Jingyue's layman, so it's a different matter.

At this moment, both of them withdrew their weapons, and everyone laughed and talked, obviously the result of this competition was very happy, but they didn't know that they had just escaped a bloody disaster.

The housekeeper Liu Li brought Shen Chaixing to Liu Jiajun at this time, saying that it was for the newly found scholar. Everyone didn't care, but Shi Wuxing looked at Shen Chaixing twice.

Being a scholar is not a tiring job, it's just the young master's attendant, Liu Jiajun's living and eating has his own special maid to serve, and he hasn't seen the young master write in the past few days, and it is estimated that the scholar is just a façade. However, you need to go to bed late and wake up early. Fortunately, the young master is not the master of early risers, Shen Chaixing is happy to stand by the boat every morning to practice when he is alive, breathing the fresh air of the morning above the Spring River, and feeling that the internal qi is getting stronger and stronger, but somehow, Shen Chaixing can feel that these internal qi are flowing in the body, but he can't control and use it, like a person with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but he can't spend money, although the money is still getting more and more.

Shen Chaixing was kind and kind, and soon became very familiar with several servants in the same room. Although Shen Chaixing does not seem to exist in the eyes of Miss Liu Jiaqi, Miss's personal maid Xiaolian is very friendly to Shen Chaixing and has a good impression. Xiaolian is the same age as Shen Chaixing, although she is slightly thin, she is pretty, sharp teeth, and a beautiful embryo. Shen Chaixing has never had much contact with girls since he was a child, and chatting with Xiaolian makes him very happy.

Just a few days later, the boat came to the waters of the Yueyang section of the river. The water area here is wide, the south is connected to Dongting, the green grass on both sides of the river, and the scenery is infinite. At this moment, a giant iron-tipped Meng Chong approached from the direction of Dongting, followed by more than a dozen fast boats called "walking boats" in front of and behind it. There were more than 20 people standing above Meng Chong, and there were 10 people paddling on each boat, and the total number of people was as high as 200. As the ship approached, Meng Chong made a gesture to stop the ship immediately, and several walkers had already come, sticking to the boat, hooking the boat with flying claws, trying to board the ship. Seeing this scene, the boss of the boat even called "unlucky", and while ordering the ship to stop, he hurriedly sent someone to report to Master Liu. The most frightening thing happened, the building boat encountered the most ferocious water thief on the Yangtze River!
