After leaving the Forbidden City and bidding farewell to the Great Zhou Emperor, Xu Baichuan went to the inn, and now in addition to Xu Baichuan in the inn, there is only Wen Fu left, Mo Tianyu has returned to the Protector Army with the holy decree in March, and he was full of joy when he left, without the slightest drag, but maybe he made a promise that he would come back with military achievements in the future.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Da Zhou Tianzi made two promises, one was Mo Qingyu and the other was Wen Fu.

The woman was finally not recovered, according to Da Zhou Tianzi, it was because Gong Dou died, and the body was still found in an ancient well.

Regardless of the cause of death and the method of death, when the corpse was placed in front of him, Wen Fu just cried a lot, drank a few bowls of wine, and after waking up, he did things as usual the next day.

But after all, he was much more silent.

Wen Fu sat on a small bench against the threshold, squinting slightly, basking in the early spring sun, seeing Xu Baichuan coming over, nodding, and there was no other action.

Xu Baichuan stood at the door, thought about it, and still said what he was going to do.

Wen Fu was stunned, looking a little lonely, but soon a smile appeared on his face and he replied with a hmm.

Xu Baichuan turned his head, looked at the tables and stools in the familiar inn, and said softly: "You can be an official." ”

Wen Fu shook his head and said softly, "It's too tiring to be an official, it's easy to guard the inn." ”

Only one body of the woman was sent back, and the Great Zhou Tianzi was a little unhappy in his heart, so he promised to give Wen Fu an official position and a 10,000-year inheritance, which could be passed on to future generations in the future, but Wen Fu unexpectedly refused, and the same thing he said at that time.

It doesn't matter if you don't have great ambitions, or something else, anyway, Wen Fu is only willing to stay in this inn.

Wen Fu raised his eyes to look at Xu Baichuan and asked, "When are you leaving?"

Xu Baichuan said softly: "Go tomorrow." ”

Wen Fu looked up at the early sky, got up and left the stool, and said as he walked, "I'll cook for you." ”

Xu Baichuan followed him into the inn, sat on the small table next to him, and waited silently.

By the time Wen Fu brought the food, it was already approaching dark, and with an oil lamp, the two of them ate silently and did not speak until after the meal.

But it was already dark, but no one wanted to go to sleep, even if Wen Fu was already sleepy, he still stayed in the hall.

The last time Mo Qianyu left, Wen Fu was also like this, at that time, Xu Baichuan thought that he was in love for a long time, and Wen Fu fell in love with Mo Tianyu, so he said something ridiculous, but now it seems that it should not be what he thought at that time.

It's parting, it's unbearable parting.

Xu Baichuan is Wen Fu's only guest now, and after leaving, Wen Fu is alone again.

Wen Fu drank a cup of strong tea, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness, and in a daze, he fell asleep with the oil lamp.

The moonlight shone through the window.

But what about the shadow of only one person, and the other one?

Upstairs.

Xu Baichuan doesn't like to sleep on the table, he doesn't sleep in the bed, he sleeps on the table, what is this idea.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning, listening to the clear rooster cry, Wen Fu got up from the table in a daze, lifted the quilt that covered his body at some point, and was not very awake.

After coming back to his senses, he subconsciously washed up, and then went to the back kitchen to cook, and when the meal was ready, he went to call Xu Baichuan, but found that the call was empty.

Wen Fu thought that Xu Baichuan slept very hard, so he wanted to leave a meal, but at noon, Xu Baichuan still showed no signs, he went upstairs to look, but found that the door of the room was wide open, and everything was neatly tied, as if no one had ever lived there.

Although the two are different, only a book and a medicine bottle are left on the table in the room.

There was no one in sight.

Wen Fu was a little disappointed, but not so lost.

Just when Wen Fu went downstairs, at the same time, Xu Baichuan had already walked to the main gate of the Great Zhou Tiandu, and if he walked a few steps further, he would walk out of this ancient capital.

Xu Baichuan led a horse he had just bought, and walked out without hesitation or nostalgia.

Riding a horse on the road, riding the dust, although the official roads in the Great Zhou Dynasty are smooth, they are all paved with large stones, but Xu Baichuan still feels that this word should be used.

In the stories of the rivers and lakes that I have heard in the past, the heroes of the rivers and lakes who are chivalrous and righteous are all carrying a weapon and riding a horse across the rivers and lakes, leaving countless stories of the rivers and lakes.

Xu Baichuan has never been out of the rivers and lakes, so he can also be regarded as a chivalrous man.

It's just that he's a hero who kills monks.

The place he wants to go is the Demon Domain, there are two roads to go, one is to take the dry road, with this good horse that can travel thousands of miles a day according to the seller, it only takes more than four months to reach the border of the Demon Domain, and the other is to take the waterway, ride to the big river, and then drift down the waterway, this only takes more than three months, and it is not exposed to the wind and sun, and the sand and dust are poured.

In fact, it is clear which is lighter and which is weaker.

Xu Baichuan wanted to take a boat and see the scenery along the coast, so he went to the nearby river.

It's just that the big Zhou Tian is inland, surrounded by mountains, even if there is water, it is only lakes and small rivers, if you want to take the waterway by boat, you have to walk a very long way to see the wharf.

Xu Baichuan swept through the horses, hurried during the day, and dealt with the road at night, listening to the wolf howl that couldn't stop coming, and had a different artistic conception.

After half a month, riding a horse for nearly 4,000 miles, I finally saw a waterway wharf.

In fact, if it is really as the seller said, this horse can travel thousands of miles a day, this half a month and more than ten days, how should it go through tens of thousands of miles, but this is not the case, although the horse is good, but it is not a demon bloodline, it is already very reluctant to walk a few hundred miles a day, thousands of miles, it is obviously impossible.

Xu Baichuan is not a nitpicker, so he doesn't care much about it, but when he arrived at the waterway wharf, he let the horse go.

There is a rule on the docks that you can't bring mounts on board.

Therefore, Xu Baichuan only brought a sword on the boat, and after paying the money, he got on this big boat heading south.

The demon domain is not in the south, but in the north, and the reason why you take this south-facing boat is another wonder.

There are not many waterways in the Great Zhou, but they are connected to each other, and although the boat is going south, it is actually going north.

All you need to do is turn the bow and step into another channel.

The ship is very big and has a lot of guests, so it is divided into three, six, nine and so on, but in layman's terms, it is still for money.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

Whether it's eating or sleeping, like today's boats, you still have to pay for it in the end.

If you have money, you can walk in the world, but you can't move an inch without money, this is the truth left by our ancestors.

Even if it is placed in the cultivation world, this principle can also work, and among all kinds of monks, whether it is a magic weapon talisman, or a secret method of various sects, or even a genius disciple, it can be regarded as money.

This has been the case since time immemorial.

Xu Baichuan is not short of money, whether it is worldly gold and silver treasures, or the magic weapons and methods of the cultivation world, they all exist in his splendid bag.

Therefore, after paying the boat boss, Xu Baichuan was naturally assigned to an upper room, with the highest floor and a quiet environment, as long as he opened the window, he could see the beautiful scenery along the road.

Xu Baichuan looked at the beautiful scenery all the way and spent half a month.

In the past half a month, no one has come to hijack the ship like in the legends of the rivers and lakes, and there have been no accidents.

In fact, after walking on the waterway for a long time, the doorways have already been opened, and a lot of money is spent every year, and what is sought is a peace, if there are people who come to rob after spending money, then I am afraid that no businessman will dare to walk on this waterway.

Nothing is the best, and by the time the ship docks at the dock, it will not be far from the demon domain.

There are still about 15,000 miles to go.

As long as the journey is smooth, it should be more than a month to reach the border.

The stop is also a ferry port, but this time the ferry is much better than the last one.

The ferry port was filled with large boats, and many boatmen were shouting at the guests.

Xu Baichuan got off the boat and walked on the dock, looking at all kinds of big ships, a little entangled.

None of these ships went to the Demon Domain, which was a difficult problem, so he could only choose to take a boat to reach Weizhou, which was the closest to the Demon Domain, and as for the road behind, he could only find a way after arriving there.

Xu Baichuan is actually a little melancholy, if his realm cultivation is higher, it would be better, as long as he is one or two realms higher, he can fly with a sword, traveling thousands of miles a day, just ordinary.

But his realm cultivation is still not enough, although he can soon leave the heart fire and go to the next realm, but to take this step, it looks very easy, but in fact it is very difficult.

The path of cultivation has never been so easy, even if it is a smooth path of the three sects, there are a lot of people who die on the road, not to mention the sword cultivation that climbs the dangerous peak, then it is even more difficult.

Therefore, before there is no realm cultivation to reach the Edgeworth flight, it is still an honest boat.

Xu Baichuan sighed, got up and got on a boat, then stood on the deck and leaned on the railing, silently waiting for the boat to go.

In a short time, the ship sailed, and as it drifted away from the dock, the wind on the deck grew louder.

And this gust of wind, not big or small, blowing on the face is very pleasant.

Xu Baichuan was wearing a green shirt today, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his long hair was simply tied up by a cloth belt, and now it danced with the wind.

It has attracted the attention of many people.

There were a lot of people on the deck, all of them with the idea of wanting to blow the wind, but now, in fact, most of their eyes were attracted by Xu Baichuan, and they all guessed what the origin of this person was?

Looking at this sword, could it be that he is a chivalrous man who has traveled the rivers and lakes?

Don't know how martial arts are?

But looking at the young age, it shouldn't be very good, maybe it's just a descendant of a big family who has come out to practice, hanging a sword, just to increase face, maybe there is someone else who protects safety.

You must know that if you want to board this ship, it will cost a lot of money, and if you are not a rich and noble family, you will never be able to get on this boat.

Xu Baichuan listened to the whispers of the group of people not far away, just glanced at it, and then stopped paying attention to it and no longer listening.

What's the matter, it's impossible for him to shut these people's mouths.

After two hours of sailing, the wind was much stronger, and the captain spread the sails, and by the force of the wind, the speed of the ship was much faster, so that the wind on the deck became more and more intense, and many people could not open their eyes, and were very uncomfortable, so that a large number of people had gathered just now, and they dispersed one after another.

There were only a few people left on the deck.

There are old and young, all different, and there are also the same places, all have martial arts, and they are still not afraid in the face of such a strong wind.

It's like they're comparing each other, and at the same time they're surprised, but it's hard to say why.

Xu Baichuan just glanced at these people thoroughly, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

They were all Jianghu people, and there were no monks.

There is nothing to see, it is better to go back to the room, thinking of this, he will not stay on the deck for long, Xu Baichuan turned around and walked towards his room, but before he had gone far, there was a sudden word that wanted to stop him.

"Dare to ask your friends where they are going to learn?"

The voice was a middle-aged man, with a square appearance, who was confronting the old man opposite with a young man at this time, and when he saw Xu Baichuan walking by, the ghost envoy asked such a sentence.

Xu Baichuan didn't stop his pace, nor did he look back, he just said that there was no door and no faction, and then left like this.

He is indeed a disciple of no sect, although he has been in the Sword Sect for three years, he is not counted as a disciple, if he insists on saying it, he should be regarded as a disciple of the one-armed old man's inheritance, but he doesn't know what sect the one-armed old man is, and he forgot to ask when he saw Lin Shugui last time, except for knowing that the method of his cultivation is called the Sword Sutra, the rest don't know anything.

But all in all, he didn't really want to get into trouble.

The three Jianghu people on the deck confronted each other, it was obvious that the old man's side had the advantage, and the middle-aged man's idea of speaking out was simple, in fact, he wanted to pull Xu Baichuan into the water, and now Xu Baichuan had no door and no faction, which caught the middle-aged man off guard.

The middle-aged man originally thought that as long as Xu Baichuan responded, no matter what kind of sect he said, whether he knew him or not, he would talk about the relationship first, maybe the solution to this crisis would be on Xu Baichuan.

And now Xu Baichuan obviously doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, that is to say, everything can only be resigned to fate.

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Baichuan's disappearing figure, and his expression fluctuated violently.

The old man won the game, like a cat playing with a mouse, and said loudly: "Fu Dian, I escaped for hundreds of miles, but I can't escape from the palm of the old man's hand, that person is also knowledgeable, and I know that I can't mix it, and you have the mind to want to pull people into the water, what is the first punch of Jiaqing Mansion, it's a joke, in my opinion, it's still obedient to tie your hands, it's your honor for the immortal master to take a fancy to your son, why be so obsessed." ”

Fu Dian snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Old ghost Cheng Su, Hugh has to talk nonsense here, what kind of virtue is that immortal master has been passed on in Jiaqing Jianghu for a long time, everyone knows, practice evil law, and use people as a ding furnace, which is this immortal master, it is simply a demonic way, today I Fu Dian's words are placed here, even if I die, I will not hand over Shaoqing to you." ”

The young man named Fu Shaoqing gritted his teeth and said sadly: "Father, let's fight with him......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Dian, who stopped Fu Shaoqing behind him and ordered him to go to the boat if there was an accident.

After finishing the order, Fu Dian turned his head to look at Cheng Su and said coldly: "Cheng Su old ghost, this is the official ship of Weizhou Mansion, is it possible that you still dare to do it, old rivers and lakes, you should understand what this means." ”

Cheng Su is not a stupid person, the martial arts warriors of the rivers and lakes can crisscross many places, but there are two things that cannot be provoked, except for cultivators, it is this official mansion.

This ship is an official ship of the Weizhou Prefecture, and it is used to escort some goods and pick up some passengers, so there must be escorts on it, and they may be watching them from a certain place.

This is a great threat, Cheng Su will not act rashly, as an old Jianghu, he naturally understands many rules.

Cheng Su's expression remained unchanged, and he sneered: "So what, as long as there is no human life to embarrass the government, who can control the rest? ”

Speaking of which, in fact, even if they had already said that they were dead, there was no longer the slightest word that they could talk to Shanshan, and seeing that a fight between the two sides was inevitable, but a voice from the cabin made them stop moving.

An old steward walked out of the cabin, squinted his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "There are distinguished guests on the ship, if you disturb it, it is a crime that deserves death, and if you want to fight, get off the ship and fight." ”

Cheng Su's expression changed, he frowned, and thought to himself, he still felt that it was better not to provoke, there would be opportunities in the future, so he hugged his fist to the old steward, turned around and walked back to the cabin.

Fu Dian breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyebrows, and thanked the old housekeeper: "Thank you seniors for your help, Fu Dian is grateful." ”

Fu Shaoqing also saluted and thanked him.

The old steward remained indifferent, but said something to himself, and then left the deck.

At the same time, the sky suddenly suddenly became dark clouds, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.

A middle-aged woman stood in the corridor of the pavilion on the top floor, leaning against the window, reading a book.

The old steward stood at the door, bowed down and spoke first of the great steward, and then of what was to be said, and then waited for the woman's command.

The woman nodded, and said, "You are doing the right thing, go back and receive twenty taels of silver, if this kind of thing happens again, and you can't persuade it, you can force it down." ”

The old steward thanked him and departed.

After the old steward had made a report, the woman did not bother to read the book any more, but put it away, went to the innermost part, and knocked softly at the door.

The door did not open, and the woman did not push the door in, but asked if she was still used to living here, and if she could use something.

The landlord did not respond for a long time, but the woman waited patiently until the rain was about to stop.

"Don't bother. ”

The words were ordinary, but the woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and a sense of relief.
