Chapter 1: Heading South

This mission, Ding Yi is finally completely independent, able to do things according to his own ideas, not to mention that he has a memory of "Sword Spectrum to Waroff Evil Spirits" in his dream, and he takes it for granted that it should be easy to complete, and he doesn't care about the lack of backup and companions!

Ding Yi wore a short brown suit, tied his head in a bun, tied with a white cloth belt, and the hair on the back of his head was scattered, very free and easy! With a long sword in his hand, he sat on the side of the big ship, waiting for the boat to sail, and was ready to leave the capital! The embroidered spring knife and the Ju Yi script were both left at home!

Ding Yi, as a hundred households in Jinyiwei, is well-informed, and found out that there are big businessmen who went south from Beijing, under the pseudonym Ding Hao, found a good family to vouch, and changed into civilian clothes to apply for the position of guard, although there is an assessment, it is a bit pediatric for Ding Yi, who has fought bloodily, of course, there is no problem!

This merchant is so strong that he has his hands and eyes open to the sky, and he actually organized a fleet of six large ships, and the first one of the fleets hung the Qingdao flag, set up a number plate, and wrote the words "idler avoidance" and "Hangzhou prefect Zhang." Obviously, this merchant borrowed the official government to travel to avoid taxes and inspections! In the early Ming Dynasty, it was a serious crime for officials to carry goods, and the assessment was extremely strict, and once they were found, they would take their posts and take care of them, but until now, after a long period of peace, there are very few officials who do not carry goods, and they are very rare! Some officials will collect money to entrain merchants even if they do not carry goods!

The merchant's surname is Tian, he is quite rich, he went south to Hangzhou with four ships of goods, and the guards hired about 20 of them, and they only need to escort them to the destination!

Ding Yi was on the fourth boat, this boat had five guards, and even the boatmen had ten people, as soon as the boat set off, Ding Yi found that it was too boring on the boat, with nowhere to go and nothing to do!

It turned out that Ding Yi thought that the boat was "between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day, the apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying, and the light boat had passed over the ten thousand mountains!" But it was not the same thing, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was built artificially, the north and south communicated, there was no drop and flow speed of the terrain, and the goods were heavy, so there was not much to go on this day. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info to stop the ship at night, not as fast as horseback riding, the boat is better because of the large load, the boat is stable, and the personnel can get full rest. However, there are a lot of boats on the road, from the south, from the north, it is very lively, in this ancient time when the traffic is inconvenient, it is the main artery of north-south communication!

After walking for a long time, Ding was bored with the same scenery and felt bored. Standing on the bow of the boat to ponder the difference between the knife and the sword, pulling the sword out of the sheath, feeling the weight in the hand, and stabbing, chopping, pointing, and sharpening, it really feels a little bit. Before using a knife, the back of the knife is thick, the chopping is powerful, and the speed is incomparable, but this sword is cut on both sides, and the chopping is very awkward, and the sword body is slender and light, obviously the usage is very different.

Take a step forward and slash hard, but I feel that it is light and fluttering, and it is more convenient to stab.

"Brother, what about sword practice?" a big man came out of the cabin and greeted Ding Yi.

Ding Yi recognized Wang Wu of the escort team, the leader of this five-person squad, the old guard of the Tian family, unlike Ding Yi and the other three who were all temporarily recruited.

"You didn't use a sword before, did you?" Wang Wu stood aside and watched Ding Yi practice his sword.

"Hehe, yes, I used to use a knife, and it was not very convenient to go out and walk, and the guards who passed the city gate had to look at me more!" Ding Yi said with a smile!

"Your sword is a good sword, it looks sharp, but it's too thin, and the chopping is not suitable, if it's a heavy sword and a broadsword, your sword should be bumped with people as little as possible when you fight, otherwise it won't take long" Wang Wu commented!

Ding Yi's sword is narrow and long, very light, cutting wood is like beating leather, extremely sharp, put it on the rivers and lakes for fear that it can make people break their heads, I don't know where Su Huirong got it. It's just hard for Ding Yi to use his hand with a knife!

Wang Wu smiled and said, "Use wrist strength, I see that other people's sword wrists are changeable, the wrist moves slightly, and the sword momentum is varied, you are too stiff, it doesn't feel right!"

Ding Yi turned his wrist and danced a sword flower, feeling that the sword momentum was really changeable, his body did not move, his arm waved lightly, his wrist moved in all directions, and the sword moved as he wished, but he didn't use too much force, and he couldn't vent his energy and couldn't hold it on his body!

Wang Wu looked at Ding Yi's awkward sword practice, and smiled, "Brother will accompany you to practice", he was happy to deal with Ding Yi. When Ding Yimou was in the position of guard, the Tian family had arranged for the school examination, Wang Wu saw Ding Yi bare-handed, and put five big men in an instant, clean and neat, no one in the fist and foot guard team was his opponent, but he felt that this person's weapon was really not useful.

Of course Ding Yi is willing, just in need of an opponent, Wang Wu sent it to the door, wouldn't it be happy!

Wang Wu motioned to Ding Yi to wait, and went into the cabin to take out his weapon, which was a pair of arm-length wooden sticks with an iron hoop wrapped at the top, and a strip of cloth wrapped around the tail, "I have studied art in Shaolin for three years, and I am a disciple of Shaolin layman, and I use the stick method, but the long stick is inconvenient to carry, and the long stick is short, I am smiling!"

Wang Wuyi raised the stick above his head, crossed his waist with a stick, strode a front bow horse, and nodded his head to signal "Come!"

Ding Yijin stepped forward, the long sword stabbed directly, Wang Wu's body spun, and the wooden stick on his waist knocked the long sword away, and the wooden stick hanging above his head smashed into Ding Yi's neck in a semicircle with the rotation of his body. Ding Yi retreated, the long sword was reversed from below, and was blocked by Wang Wu's left stick, and the right stick hit the spine of the sword, Ding Yi couldn't hold it, and the long sword fell to the ground!

Wang Wu smiled, re-tied the front bow horse, set up the portal, and said, "Come again!" Ding Yi picked up the long sword, attacked it again, and was shot down again in an instant!

The other three guards also came to the bow of the boat, watching the two of them, and from time to time they let out a cheer of "good, good, this is a good move"!

The space on the ship is narrow, there is no room to swim, there is no possibility of retreat, Ding Yi is a good small area and Wang Wu circulating, Wang Wu stick law is strict, when attacking like a storm, when retreating the door is strict, after a while Ding Yi was shot down seven or eight times the long sword. Wang Wu seems to be at ease!

The other three guards were happy to see the hunt, and after watching for a while, they also went down one after another, sometimes replacing Wang Wu and Ding Yi's opponents, sometimes replacing Ding Yi and Wang Wu's pairs, but the martial arts were much worse, the three of them fought equally, and Ding Yi and Wang Wu were defeated in a blink of an eye when they were opponents, these three people didn't care whether they won or lost, they just shouted, Ding Yi couldn't help but laugh, and the five of them were happy for a while.

In the middle, when everyone was pausing to rest, Ding Yi remembered the Fuwei Dart Bureau for this mission, so he asked Wang Wu why he didn't ask for a dart bureau to escort him, but asked for a guard? Wang Wu smiled and said, "There is a Hangzhou prefect personally escorting the transport, and the defense officials and thieves are guarded, who doesn't open their eyes in the Qingping world? There is also a dart game there! Please ask some guards to only guard against thieves, hehe!"

The time of the day passed like this, and when it was time to go to bed at night, Ding Yi touched the gold medal that had flashed in his arms, and there was nothing unusual, lying on the bed, accompanied by the voice of his companions, and continued to practice Xiao Wuxianggong diligently.

On the second day, when fighting again, Ding Yi summed up his experience and turned his sword technique into a sword technique, and made great progress, although he still inevitably lost, he already had an attack and a defense against Wang Wu, and he was able to persist in more than ten moves! In a confrontation, Ding Yi accidentally fell into the water, panicked, and drank two sips of water, everyone hurriedly looked for a long pole to pull him, thanks to the ability in the dream, the dog planed a few times and actually floated on the water, and then swam for a while, Ding Yi swam around the boat for a while, and breaststroke, very cool!

After getting on the boat, it was naturally another fight, and in the evening, it was a tie with Wang Wu, Wang Wu could no longer easily defeat Ding Yi, and the other three guards were dumbfounded, each of them could not feel the meaning, but they felt that Ding Yi was good

At night, I stopped by the river to rest, and the guards were on duty separately, without a trace of abnormality!

At dawn, the fleet began to depart, and a man in white jumped onto Ding Yi's boat, "I'll go with you."

Everyone looked sideways, Wang Wu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Childe, we are all rough people on the boat, you better go back to the master's boat"

"No, I'll go with you, you have a lively fight during the day, I will also martial arts, I will also come to play, and I will go back at night" The man in white said with a smile.

The white-clothed man has a long sword in one hand and a hand behind him, and he looks really personable, chic and heroic!

On the second boat after the official ship in front, the shopkeeper Tian stood at the stern of the boat, waved to Wang Wu, and then turned back into the cabin, obviously meaning to hand over the white-clothed boy to Wang Wu!
