Chapter 262: The Lonely Boat Came from the North
Regarding the matter of entering the city, Xu Qingliang didn't even think about it, and came directly to the dock.
Thankfully, they have not encountered the slightest accident along the way, and to this day, it may be that their outfit has played a role.
However, now standing on the bank of the river, Xu Qingliang looked around, paying close attention to the surrounding situation, and doubts gradually arose in his heart.
On the left, in front of the dock, wearing loose trousers, rolling up the hem of the trousers, a man unloading goods, a man carrying a bag to the northwest, and a man sitting on a wooden box chatting with others on the right, in front of which stood a strong man, with short hair and a beard and a large knife on his back.
These people like this made Xu Qingliang frown, judging from the intuition and keen insight he had cultivated over the years of being in the army and even the commander, these people were very suspicious.
Definitely not ordinary flat-headed ordinary people, or dock workers, businessmen, although they cover up well, Xu Qingliang still faintly feels that these people are pretending.
Like, as if deliberately waiting for something.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Qingliang's face changed a little, what else could they wait for? It was nothing more than trying to snatch his elixir! The more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became.
"Your Excellency. A person behind him stepped forward and approached Xu Qingliang and whispered, and the latter came back to his senses.
"Yes, say. Xu Qingliang bowed slightly, his eyes still looking ahead.
"Shouldn't we get on the boat?" he asked, sensing that the look on his lord's face was wrong.
After the words were asked, the adult did not answer, and the subordinate muttered in his heart.
To go or not to go? Once you get on the boat and cross to the river, it's even harder to run. Although his strength is good and his internal strength is deep, if he wants to swim and cross the Ren River, he can't do it.
Or, maybe he was suspicious, leading the horse with one hand, while continuing to look at those people, and now looking at the past, the people who were suspicious in his eyes just now have become normal again.
Maybe it's really that he is suspicious, think about it carefully, only the mountain master and him know about the cultivation of the elixir by the master of Chu Mountain, and there is no reason to tell others about it, so it is impossible for this news to be spread out.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Qingliang relaxed a little again, and the expression on his face became normal, since he had come, he hurriedly took a boat and left.
A few thoughts turned in his mind, and Xu Qingliang was just about to step forward to find a ferry boat that was about to leave, when he saw the bearded man with a knife on his back walking towards him, and he immediately became vigilant again.
"Brother Tai, do you need any help?" A few steps away, Xia Xiang shouted at Commander Xu's urn.
was sent to the dock by the young lady to make Xia Xiang pay close attention to the movements on the dock.
Some characteristics Xia Lingling had also told Xia Xiang, and at this moment, it was because the person in front of her was a little strange that Xia Xiang stepped forward and asked.
As soon as the men who led the horses arrived before, Xia Xiang noticed that after all, those horses were still good.
Looking at it again, the appearance of several people without anything is not worth paying attention to, and they didn't plan to pay attention to it, but the performance of the leader attracted Xia Xiang's attention again.
"Ah, we are going to cross the river by boat, and we don't know what boat to choose. Commander Xu didn't think much about it, and replied directly.
When the man got closer, Xu Qingliang could faintly feel that the other party was also a practitioner, and the big knife behind his back was not an ornament, so he became a little more vigilant in his heart, and these people on the dock were really strange.
"I don't know, are you in a hurry?" Xia Xiang asked, secretly looking at the few people in front of him.
"Yes, it's in a hurry. Xu Qingliang nodded in response.
Hearing this, Xia Xiang nodded, turned his head and shouted loudly in one direction: "Old five, come to business, six." After speaking, Xu Qingliang looked at the left side of the pier in front of his head, and a middle-aged man responded.
"Okay, there's a vacancy, let's go. Xia Xiang smiled slightly and pointed in that direction.
"Eh, I'm tired. With a promise, Commander Xu led the five people to lead the horse. Since a few people were leading the horses, Xia Xiang pointed out to them a large boat.
But he couldn't let go of so many horses, so he had no choice but to sell them to a merchant at a discount in front of the dock, and the happy man was like picking up a treasure.
Looking at the backs of those people on the boat, Xia Xiang thought about it and still didn't make any moves, although these people were a little strange, they couldn't see anything.
First of all, the young lady said that those people must have come from the water, and these people on horseback on the land route, even in the wrong direction, there is nothing to doubt.
He shook his head and ignored it, walked to his previous position, and continued to arrange other things.
After getting on the boat completely, watching the dock gradually move away, Xu Qingliang's heart finally fell back into his stomach.
As long as you cross the river and completely enter the Holy Heaven Dao realm, there will be no problems with this pill.
As soon as I was in a good mood, I saw that the white snowflakes on the water of the Taotao River were also beautiful.
He simply sat down on the board of the boat, let out a long breath, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, sometimes he really envied those famous literati in the capital, but he could recite a poem to express his chest.
How can a big man like him say the word "true beauty" at most, thinking together, Xu Qingliang turned his eyes to look at several of his subordinates and asked: "Come on, come on, take advantage of the boring, who can describe the current snow scene?"
A few people were stunned when they heard it, what kind of style did adults smoke.
"It's you, Sun Sheng, you come. "The commander vaguely remembered that before this kid joined the army, he read some poetry books in the township school.
"Huh. Being named, Sun Sheng had no choice, so he stubbornly said: "This snow is so beautiful." ”
It doesn't seem to be much better than himself, the Lord Commander was a little disappointed, but his eyes still looked at Sun Sheng with encouragement and said, "The tone of emotion is stronger." ”
"Ahh ”
After speaking, several people on the boat snorted and laughed, and Sun Sheng still looked at the commander with a smug face: "What's the matter, my lord, is my tone strong enough?"
"......" looked at Sun Sheng fixedly, Xu Qingliang simply regretted calling him so much, and he was in a bad mood.
Another hour passed, and everyone laughed and laughed, and the ship was almost a third of the way through.
Gradually, the sound of conversation on the boat was gone, Xu was tired of seeing the river, everyone was tired, and most people began to close their eyes and rest.
Xu Qingliang definitely couldn't sleep, even on the river, even now, he still had a little bit of attention to watch around.
As he was looking around, he saw a lonely boat floating in the direction of the Holy Heavenly Dao behind him.
At the head of the boat stood a man in a white robe, a few strands of black hair flying in the cold wind, a little snow falling on it, and a long sword with a jade handle behind his back.
In this situation, the whole person is really like a person among the gods, elegant and detached.
But Commander Xu was not surprised by this person's temperament, but that he knew this person......
