CHAPTER XX

The owner of the ship wore a navy blue wide coat, a jade belt around the waist, a beautiful beard, and a resolute look in his face, which was about forty years old.

"You've got you all along the way!" said the ship's owner, waving his hand.

"You said that the owner of this boat is quite good for his subordinates, and he will be served with big fish and meat! This must be a businessman!" Bai Xiyue was even more sure after seeing the appearance of the owner of this boat.

"There are indeed a few truths in what Junior Brother Bai said, although he has seen officials who treat people with courtesy, he has indeed never seen a few people who are so generous!" Fan Envoy looked at the owner of the ship.

"I've never seen anything like this before, but it's a happy event, how can I be so entertained every day. The bear's envoy was also puzzled.

"Everything must happen for a reason, and this matter must be strange! After Wen Renxing finished speaking, he looked at the nearby boatmen.

The scenery from this boat is indeed good, the green water and green mountains are very pleasant, if it were not for the noise of these people, you should be able to hear the sound of the water, the sound of birds, and the hooves of apes.

Liu Cong still doesn't know whether to tell everyone what happened last night, if he doesn't know that he is afraid of danger, and if he tells the truth, he is afraid that everyone will laugh and be generous.

"Brother Cong, I see that you are frowning, but you are hungry?" said Fan Envoy looking at Liu Cong.

"Everyone, someone attacked me in the middle of the night last night, but..." Before Liu Cong finished speaking, Bai Xiyue's body that had been sitting down jumped up violently.

"Brother Cong, why didn't you say it earlier?" Bai Xiyue asked suspiciously.

"But that person is a weak woman, and her kung fu is average, and she did not deliberately murder us, as if she had touched it. Liu Cong carefully thought back to the events of last night.

"Isn't it theft?" asked the Bear Messenger.

"I see, my brother took advantage of our brother's drunkenness last night, and had a private meeting with Xiao Nizi on which stage!" Bai Xiyue smiled evilly.

"You..." Liu Cong remembered yesterday's scene when he was told this, and he didn't know if he was so angry that his face turned red or something else.

Several people secretly turned around and chuckled, followed by uncontrollable laughter, which attracted the sideways glances of nearby boatmen.

Just as everyone was sitting down at the table and preparing to eat, a long rope flew out, with sharp barbs tied to it, and one hung on the edge of the boat, and several people flew from the rope, and these people slashed along the rope with knives in their mouths.

"It's a water thief!"

Just as everyone was panicking, several more ropes flew over, hooked the corner of the boat, and rowed along the rope to a group of people.

After these groups got on the boat, they didn't say a word, and they picked up their knives and cut them.

"It's... How is it good!?" the Fan envoy's expression became anxious.

"Brother Cong, Brother Bai, protect the two envoys!" Wen Renxing, Liu Cong, and Bai Xiyue surrounded the two envoys in the middle.

However, the gang of thieves did not seem to be coming at them, and the thieves continued to jump onto the ship, apparently trying to rob it.

"Die!" a thief ran towards Wen Renxing, carrying a knife and roaring viciously.

Wen Renxing lifted his sword and put it away. The man fell in a pool of blood, and the water thieves surrounded Liu Cong and the others when they saw that they did not jump into the water and escaped.

"Brother Wenren, I'm afraid this group of people is just going to rob ships and plunder. Liu Cong seemed to see the clues.

Liu Cong transported his breath to his wrist, and the scarlet blood blade appeared in his right hand like a trick, and his left hand held the Void Yang Gate long sword.

"Big boss! This group of people doesn't seem to be simple!hahahaha!" The water thieves surrounded Liu Cong and the others and shouted to the leader behind them.

Liu jumped up from an arrow step, flying left and right, like a dancer spinning and dancing with a fan in both hands, and that turn made the three or five water thieves fall to the ground in response.

Wen Renxing also seemed to seize the opportunity, this foot was afraid that it had been accumulating strength for a long time, and as soon as he stepped out, he stepped on the wooden plank under his feet to crack, from the stern to the bow of the boat, like a raptor crossing the river, this water thief spat blood and flew out.

Bai Xiyue still compared the sword, he wanted to use the sword head to aim at the big boss, but the leader was busy killing the boatman and didn't pay attention to the fact that someone was targeting him at this time, only to hear someone shouting in his ear 'The big boss'! As soon as the words landed, a sword head poked over, and the big boss was pierced through the head by this blow as soon as he turned around, and the machete in his hand also fell to the ground.

Liu Cong's eyes seemed to be looking for something, and finally his gaze stayed on the side of the owner of the ship in front of him. Without saying a word, Liu Cong rushed over and stabbed to death several people who wanted to capture the ship's owner.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the thieves jumped into the water and escaped. After a while, there were no thieves on board, and only corpses were lying on the ground.

When the boatmen who were hiding in the cellar saw that the thieves had dispersed, they came out of the cellar.

"How could you have thought of being a groom?" said the shipowner, smiling.

"See and laugh!

"Boat master, I waited until I had no silver on me to do this rough work, so that I could take the boat master's downwind boat, but in fact, I waited for the dart game to run errands!" Wen Renxing said as he covered the hilt of the Kongyang Gate long sword with his clothes.

"It turns out that a few of them are dart heads! If it weren't for a few people to help me today, I would have been able to get out of this dangerous situation!" The owner of the boat thanked him with both hands, and said to the surviving boatman: "Quickly dispose of these corpses!"

"Daddy, don't listen to these people's nonsense, yesterday I went to the stable to see my beloved horse, that person is from Kongyangmen!" said the woman next to the owner of the boat, pointing at Liu Cong.

After hearing this, the owner of the ship was nervous at first, and soon the nervousness disappeared, and he still smiled and said, "Shaoxia, is it really that Kongyangmen person?"

Before Liu Cong could speak, Wen Renxing interjected and said: "The owner of the ship doesn't know, my dart bureau specially spent a lot of money to ask this Kongyang Gate person to assist me in transporting a dart." ”

"Hahaha! It's really a hero out of a teenager! Such a young and promising person has become a member of Kongyangmen!" the owner laughed.

"I'm also from the Kongyang Sect!" Bai Xiyue raised his eyes and said.

"No wonder I saw the young man's sword flickering long and short, and the army took the enemy's head from it!" said the ship's owner, gesturing there.

Bai Xiyue seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and his whole face was happy, and he was as happy as if he had reached the realm of immortals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since we are meeting, it is fate! Can you sit down and have a drink?" The owner of the ship was warm and generous, and took the initiative to invite Liu Cong and others to sit at the same table with him.

"That's... It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Fan Shijin hurriedly thanked him, and then came to the table in the first row with Liu Cong and others.

After the owner of the boat took a seat, he stretched out his hand and invited Liu Cong and others to take a seat as well. This is only a moment's work, and the corpses on the ship have already been cleaned up, as if this has never happened, and the boatmen don't seem to have decreased, still working with their heads down, but I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Liu Cong always felt that this group of boatmen had a sense of strangeness.

"Where are you going, heroes?" asked the owner of the ship when he saw that several people were occupied.

"I'll wait for this trip to Nantang like the ship's owner!" replied the bear messenger.

"Ahh Ah, yes, yes, I'm waiting for this trip to Nantang!" said the ship's owner after a pause.

"I wonder if the owner of the ship is doing business with any noble person on this trip?" asked the Fan envoy.

"I'm waiting for this trip... It's not particularly convenient," the owner of the ship stopped talking.

"Since the owner of the ship does not want to say more, then I will not delve into it, come! I will give the owner a drink!" Fan Envoy knew that it was really rude to make a fuss, so he took the initiative to punish himself.

"You young heroes have the grace to save my life, and I will no longer hide it, I have received an order from a certain dignitary in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and I specially pressed this goods to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty. When the ship's owner saw that Fan had a drink, he raised his glass and drank it all, and then said: "I never thought that there would be such a gangster attacking us and others on this way! ”

"Daddy doesn't have to tell outsiders the reason, wait until the next ferry, and I'll buy some good men to protect the boat along the way. The woman on the side said.

"Hugh is rude! If you are willing, can you escort me and wait for a ride, and I will be grateful when I arrive at the destination!" The owner of the ship invited Liu Cong and the others.

"What is the owner of the ship talking about, since we are fortunate to take this ship, life and death have long been tied to you, what kind of reward!" said Fan Envoy bowed his hand.

"Hahaha! How dare you ask what this strong man is called?" asked the shipowner with a laugh.

"In Xia Fan Shijin, next to him is Xiong Jingchong, and the two heroes of Kongyangmen over there are Liu Cong and Bai Xiyue, and the other hero is Wen Renxing. Fan Shijin introduced the boat owner one by one.

"Polite everyone!Under [Chang Mosheng]!This is my daughter [Chang Zuyu]!" Chang Mosheng touched the head of his daughter beside him and said.

Chang Zuyu lowered his head and looked at the glass of wine in front of him, without the slightest intention of looking up at these people, looking down at the eyelashes like a small fan, Zuyu picked up the chopsticks and stirred in the wine glass, and raised his head slightly to reveal those eyes, not to see in the dark in time, and it was also a pair of eyes that were extremely beautiful in the sun, deep as the sea and could not be seen at a glance. Zu Yu seemed to feel that there were eyes staring at him all the time, and when he glanced at it, it was Liu Cong's stupid face, and when he saw it, he remembered the scene last night, Zu Yu's face flushed, and he glared at Liu Cong viciously in an instant.

"I always feel like I've heard your name somewhere..."Bai Xiyue said thoughtfully.

"Ah!?where?

"Ah, I thought of it! Our big master sect is called Gao Tingyu! It's the same as the name of the owner's daughter, with a jade character!" Bai Xiyue blurted out as if he thought of something.

"Huh... Hahaha! This young man is so funny!" The shipowner's body, which had been slowly raised, sat back with relief.

Liu Cong and the others were also amused by Bai Xiyue's words and deeds, and the people at the table immediately burst into laughter.

"Drink, everyone, eat!" said the ship's owner, laughing.

After they were full of wine and food, Liu Cong and the others were invited out of the stable and placed in the guest room on the upper floor of the ship by the owner of the ship.
