Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day.

The apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying, and the light boat had already crossed the ten thousand mountains.

This seven-character quatrain by the poet Li Taibai is written about the section of the Yangtze River waterway from the Three Gorges to Jiangling. Since ancient times, the Yangtze River waterway has been an important passage from the east to Shu.

At this time, it is the autumn high and cool, the wind and waves are calm, and the boats on the river come and go, a prosperous and prosperous scene.

Yu Xiaoyao stood at the bow of the boat, letting the breeze blow, and the clothes flew up.

After that night, they left Jinling City, Feng Lilong went north to Jingshi, and went to Jinyiwei to inquire about Tang Qi's news, while Yu Xiaoyao and Su Qing went to the Tang Gate in Shuzhong by way of the Yangtze River.

"Why don't you just go to the Interpretation Building to find someone?" asked Feng Lilong.

"Xie Yulou is too conspicuous, since the silver-faced man has set his sights on us, I am afraid that Xie Yulou has already laid a net. Yu Xiaoyao explained. "Besides, now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, it is better to start with Jinyiwei and Tangmen to investigate, so as to be safe. ”

Feng Lilong sighed and said, "So I said that I can't be a person like you, and I will be tired to death when I think about it." If you want me to say, rush to the Jieyu Building to find out the person, and kill him with a sword. ”

"In the opinion of the jade prince. The three of us, who will go to Jinyiwei, who will go to Tangmen, who will go to Tang Qi?" Su Qing asked aloud.

"I'm going to trouble the Jinyiwei. Feng Lilong couldn't wait to say, "The young master has long wanted to go to Jinyiwei's prison for two turns, maybe he can meet a few rivals." ”

Su Qing frowned slightly, "Jin Yiwei has now gone to the sea to catch the paperwork to take the wind boy, and the son is afraid that he will be arrested as soon as he shows up." ”

Feng Lilong smiled slightly, and said: "Sister Fairy, don't underestimate me, don't say that it is the courtyard of Jinyiwei, which is the palace, and I can go casually if I want to." ”

"Oh, isn't there any secret method for Feng Gongzi?" asked Su Qing.

Feng Lilong stretched out a finger, "Then I'll show my sister with my hand." He waved his sleeves to cover his face, and when he put down his hand, what appeared in front of Su Qing was the appearance of another person.

"There is such a thaumaturgy in this world!" Su Qing couldn't help but praise, "I have also seen the art of disguise, but none of it can compare with this secret technique of Feng Gongzi, a stranger with a thousand faces, so it is!"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "Miss Su, don't praise him, if you praise him, he should talk about the adventures in the land of Sichuan and Shu back then." ”

Feng Lilong was proud, "Yu Xiaoyao, you are jealous of the master, if you are like the master who can incarnate at any time, you will not be in a debt of love!"

"Ahem. Yu Xiaoyao's face was embarrassed, and he quickly opened the topic and said: "Jinyiwei's side is set." Then Miss Su will go to Shuzhong with me. ”

"Hey, wait!," exclaimed Feng Lilong, "why do you want Sister Fairy to be with you?"

Yu Xiaoyao couldn't help but laugh when he saw his anxious appearance, but pretended to be serious, and said, "Didn't I say it before? Tang Qi is near the White Emperor City, and this trip to the Tang Gate in Shuzhong is just a stop. ”

"Oops!" Feng Lilong stomped his foot, "I wouldn't have robbed it if I had known." ”

Yu Xiaoyao deliberately teased him, "If you regret it, it's still too late." ”

Feng Lilong straightened his chest and said, "The big husband has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase." Where is the reason for regret!"

Yu Xiaoyao laughed, "Then I wish you a smooth journey, husband." ”

Su Qing stood aside, quietly watching them laugh and play, and couldn't help but show a yearning look on his face.

He Feng Lilong broke up outside Jinling City, Yu Xiaoyao and Su Qing went to the river to hire a passenger boat, the boatman was a white-bearded old man, although he was old, his body was also strong, he could walk a long way, and he looked very honest. Originally, when he was going to enter Shu, the boatman thought that the road was too far and hesitated, so Yu Xiaoyao directly threw a silver ingot to him, and the boatman immediately agreed very happily.

Su Qing walked out of the cabin and came to Yu Xiaoyao's side.

"Yu Gongzi seems to have something on his mind?" Su Qing asked with a wink.

Yu Xiaoyao smiled and lowered her eyes, "Miss Su is really Lan Xinhui. ”

"Did you remember that friend named Tang Qi?" asked Su Qing.

Yu Xiaoyao nodded, "I don't know what happened to him after a long time." ”

Su Qing sighed softly: "Is Young Master Yu worried, if Tang Qi is a silver-faced person, how should you face him?"

"It's not him. Yu Xiaoyao shook his head, "It must not be him." ”

"But what if?"

Yu Xiaoyao turned her head abruptly and stared at Su Qing tightly. Su Qing's eyes didn't dodge at all, and they looked at Yu Xiaoyao like this.

After a long time, Yu Yao smiled bitterly and looked away.

The two men stood at the bow of the boat, side by side, let the breeze blow.

The boatman stood at the stern of the boat, rocking the oars again and again, looking at the figures of the young couple, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Does he remember when he was younger?

I remembered the age of wanton and profligate.

and the girl in the aqua green shirt.

It's just that this time is rushing, just like this river rushing, not stopping for a moment.

The difference is that in this river, he can swing the oars upstream.

But in the face of these ruthless years, he had to go with the flow.

This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time.

The sky gradually darkened, and the boatman rocked the boat closer to the shore, tied it on the dock, and said to Yu Xiaoyao: "Son, there is a fishing village not far away, although it is small, there is also a small shop where you can eat and rest, Childe may wish to go and see." ”

Yu Xiaoyao nodded, "Okay, although the fish soup on your boat is fragrant, it's a pity that there is no wine." Miss Su, what do you think?"

Su Qing nodded, "It's okay to go and rest." ”

"I went west from this path, and when I saw the lights, I arrived. The boatman said.

"Boatman, aren't you going with you?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

"I still have half a pot of fish soup in my pot, just heat it up. The boatman smiled.

Yu Xiaoyao nodded, "Okay, if you want to drink, I'll bring you a pot back." With that, he got off the boat with Su Qing.

"Childe. The boatman stopped him again.

"Is there anything else?" asked Yu Yao.

"Childe, you are such a good person. The boatman said, "It's hard to walk here at night, so be careful with the boy and girl." ”

The boatman was right, the night road here is really difficult, because along the river, many places are very muddy, and it is very difficult to walk.

After walking for a while, I didn't see any lights in front of me, and I didn't know where the small fishing village was as the boatman said.

"Not good!" Yu Xiaoyao suddenly shouted, and his body moved, and he swept over the grass like a ghost, and ran towards the place where he went to the boat. Su Qing also looked moved, and leaned in to follow, her light skills were not weak, and Yu was free at all.

The dilapidated little pier remained, but the boatman and his boat were gone.

There was a wilderness in all directions, and it was pitch black with no lights in sight.

"Hahahaha!" Yu Xiaoyao suddenly burst out laughing, laughed out of tears, and bent over with laughter.

Su Qing looked at him curiously, she didn't know why this man could still let out such a hearty laugh in such a desperate situation.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at myself, of course. Yu Xiaoyao straightened his waist and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Laugh at me, I'm really the No. 1 fool in the world, I think I'm extremely smart, and I can play the hundred households of Jinyiwei, but I was tricked by a loyal and honest boatman who is harmless to people and animals." When you think about it, it's the funniest thing in the world. ”

Su Qing was amused by him and laughed.

"That's right. Yu Xiaoyao said.

"What did Yu Gongzi say?"

"You should smile more, you look good when you smile. Yu Xiaoyao said.

Su Qing's eyes looked at him with burning eyes in the dark night, "Su Qing always smiles on weekdays. ”

Yu Xiaoyao shook his head, "That kind of smile is to laugh for others to see, not because you want to laugh." ”

"How do you know? Su Qing asked.

"Because," Yu smiled silently, "I always laugh for others." ”

I don't know when the fog rises on the river, and the mist lingers on the surface of the river, like a fairyland under the faint moonlight.

Yu Xiaoyao and Su Qing sat on a big rock on the shore and quietly watched this wonderful scene.

"Perhaps, I should be thankful to the boatman. Yu Xiaoyao said.

"Why?" After Yu Yao's words just now, Su Qing seemed to be a little casual.

"First, he let me know that I'm not as smart as I think I am. Second, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have seen such a beautiful view. ”

Su Qing turned his head to look at him, "Is there a third?"

"Third," the corners of Yu Xiaoyao's mouth curled, "Isn't it also a beautiful thing for me to be accompanied by beautiful women in this wilderness?"

Su Qing smiled again, it was the kind of smile that came from the bottom of his heart, "Young Master Yu, why are you always so optimistic?"

Yu looked at the white mist on the river with a distracted look, "This is a long story. ”

Su Qing said: "It just so happens that the night is long. ”

Yu Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, and began to tell his story, what kind of family he was born in, how he was once debauched, how he solved the mystery of the jade seal that shocked the government and the opposition, and how he was saddled with the notoriety of disloyalty and unfilial piety, spurned by everyone, and rejected by the self-proclaimed chivalrous righteousness.

"It was at that time that I got acquainted with two good friends, Tang Qi and Feng Lilong, only they didn't care about my bad reputation, they were willing to drink and talk with me, be happy, and be willing to live and die with me. ”

At that time, Tang Qi said to me the most, in this world, there are eight or nine things that are not satisfactory, so you might as well think about it often. ”

"Think about it a lot. Su Qing couldn't help but repeat softly.

Yu Xiaoyao nodded: "Even if it is a bad thing, there will always be one or two things that are not so bad, right? ”

"Oh?" Su Qing became interested, "What did Feng Gongzi say?"

He said that no matter how troublesome it was, it was only a matter of a sword and a pot of wine. Yu Xiaoyao laughed softly, "If you cut off the troublesome things with a sword, and then go buy a pot of wine to drink, then what's not to be happy about." ”

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "It really has the style of a young man." ”

"So, there is nothing desperate in this world, desperate people are just people. Jade said.

"Young Master Yu," Su Qing pointed to the river with his hand, "What do you see is that?"

A little light appeared in the thin mist, slowly drifting towards this direction.

Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "It's our good thing that has come." ”

The light is getting closer and closer, and there is a faint sound of the piano coming from the bright light, the sound of the piano is ethereal and quiet, and the current moonlight of the autumn river corresponds to each other, faintly elegant.

Yu Xiaoyao remembered the story told by Mrs. Xue, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss Qin, it's a fellow Daoist." ”

Su Qing bowed slightly, and said, "This person is a middle master." ”

"Then you might as well make friends with the piano. Yu Xiaoyao quipped.

"Let's let Su Qing try him. Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head, listened carefully to the sound of the piano in the night breeze, leaned less, she raised her head, rushed to the river, and whistled a long whistle, the whistling sound came from the internal force, agitated Qingyuan, and the sound of the piano corresponded to each other, it was seamless.

The sound of the piano seems to be competitive, and the rhythm gradually increases, like a jade waterfall splashing, and like rain hitting plantains, urgent and dense, and chirping. A flash of surprise flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and the whistling sound became more and more high-pitched, faintly overpowering the sound of the piano. The sound of the piano changed again, and its sound became more urgent and urgent, and the sound of the piano in the quiet and distant distance played out a strong killing meaning, like thousands of troops and horses crossing the river and roaring.

Just as Yu Xiaoyao wanted to see how Su Qing would respond, Su Qing suddenly stopped his voice, and the sound of the piano suddenly had no opponent, and after making a loud note, it stopped abruptly.

Su Qing actually showed a mischievous smile and said, "His strings are broken." ”

Just like a duel between masters, a fatal sword is swung, but the opponent turns away, not to take this move, the power of this sword has nowhere to go, but will hurt itself, the sound of the piano suddenly lost the opponent, and the person who played the piano could not retract his strength, so that the strings were broken.

A voice sounded in the bright light, "Which good friend is joking with Chen?"

This voice was sent by the river wind from a long distance, and it was still very clear, which showed that the person who spoke was full of internal strength.

Yu Xiaoyao raised his voice and returned: "In Xia Xiaoyao, I don't know which friend is on the river?"

The voice no longer answered, a moment later, only to hear the sound of oars, after a while, the bright light came from the heart of the river to the front, it turned out to be a painting boat, the painting boat was brightly lit, there was a person standing on the side of the boat, after seeing the two of them, the man arched his hand, and said: "It turned out that the people were scattered here, I don't know who the fairy next to him is?"

Su Qing bowed and said, "Little girl Su Qing." ”

The man nodded and said, "It turned out to be Fairy Su, it's rude, the howling just now must have been sent by the fairy, right?" With such a beautiful day, if you don't give up, you might as well get on the boat and have a glass of wine. ”

Yu Xiaoyao laughed and said: "As long as there is wine, even the sword mountain and the sea of fire can be obtained, not to mention Brother Chen's painting boat." As he spoke, he jumped onto the painting boat, and Su Qing also landed lightly beside him like a fallen leaf.

In addition to this Chen Yexing, there are seven people on the painting boat, among which there is also a high-nosed and broad-fronted Hu man, these seven people are sitting or lying, with different shapes, but all of them have a long breath, and they are obviously masters who have achieved great success.

Yu Xiaoyao's eyes froze.

Chen Yexing had already stretched out his hand and moved into the boat.

"Sanren, please. ”
