Chapter 7 Crossing the River
The sun will set, and the steep gate will be crossed.
After here, on the other side of the river is Guandu Town.
The fishing village is small, with only about 100 residents, all fishermen who make a living from fishing, and occasionally do some business to send people who want to cross the river. It's just that even if there are people from Guandu Town on weekdays, they rarely take this small place to cross the river, and it is normal to not see an outsider for three or five days, and this business can be used as a small amount of money to make money.
There is a restaurant in the fishing village, there is no name, the store is very small, there is no place to put feet in order to store the wine jar indoors, the seats and benches are all in the open air, and a grass shed will be erected when it rains.
As the only place in the whole fishing village where you can relax, that is, you go to the restaurant in groups to have two drinks, and everyone gags together to kill time and discuss life and yusheng.
But no one has been going to this only place recently, because a group of Jianghu people have come to the village, and they have all the wine in the restaurant, and even if they go, they have no wine to drink.
Not only the wine, but also the boats of the entire fishing village were gathered, and they had to get their boats every day when they went out to fish.
The fish that were caught would also be taken away by those people first, and the rest would be allowed to be brought back to them.
Although the fishermen of the steep gate crossing are not angry, they don't dare to say anything, those are the people of the rivers and lakes, they can't afford to provoke, if you want to blame, you can only blame the supreme treasure seal, since the treasure seal came out, not only to the whole rivers and lakes shocked, together with them, these little people also suffered.
Now they just hope that these people can leave quickly, and they can live back to the leisurely life they used to have, but they don't want to be in such a panic all day long, if their ancestors hadn't lived here for generations, they would have run away a long time ago.
These fishermen were terrified, and Chun Yuqiong, who was drinking in the tent by the river, was also very upset.
Last time, he took someone out without permission and wanted to kill Yuan Shu, and came back to find the city lord Yuan Shao to invite credit.
But the result?
Not only was one of his arms cut off by Yuan Shu, but after he came back, he was scolded by the city lord, and even took off the title of the eighteen protectors of Ice Hell City.
Now everyone else is chasing after the Supreme Treasure Seal and preparing to make a great achievement, so he has been sent to guard this small ferry
You said that it is enough to guard the ferry, and the person who took the supreme treasure seal is called Zhang Xiu, and it is certain that he will cross the river. Guarding the ferry is also a good errand for meritorious service, but why are other people either chasing after him or guarding the ferry in front, and he is sent to such a poor country behind alone, and no one will come to the ferry at all?
"What did I do wrong? I just wanted to help the city lord solve his problems and kill the brother he kept saying he was going to kill. ”
"I've broken an arm because of this, even if I don't have merit, I'm still working hard. Why did he Gao Ran kill Xin Ping and so many disciples in the city, not only was he not punished, but he was also arranged in the front this time, the city lord was too partial! I treat him as the big brother of the city lord, and he only treats me as a subordinate junior brother!"
"It's all Tian Feng's idea! Say anything, just in case the other party may take a detour. Prevent him Tian Yuanhao from being a big-headed ghost, who would be stupid enough to deliberately go around with the Supreme Treasure Seal at this time, if I must be thinking about going to the Tiger Prison, there is Martial Venerable Lu Bu guarding it!"
"Tian Feng, you wait for Lao Tzu, wait for the day I turn over, and see how I play you to death!" Chun Yuqiong was indignant in his heart, and walked out of the camp with the wine jar, he wanted to dissipate the dissatisfaction in his heart.
The several disciples of Ice Hell City who were guarding outside the account frowned faintly when they saw Chun Yuqiong come out. However, the duty is to silently follow behind him, and do a good job of guarding the basic principles.
After leaving the camp by the river and walking around, the boredom in Chun Yuqiong's heart increased instead of decreasing, even after taking a sip of wine, he couldn't suppress the impulse, he needed to find a place to vent.
"What a place, there is not even a woman who can look at it......"
Chun Yuqiong was even more depressed, this place is really not ordinarily broken, the wine is undrinkable, and the women are ugly, so don't let him live?
"Hey...... Forget it, just find a figure that looks pleasing to the eye, and don't pay attention to the looks, just cover the other party's face and don't look at it. ”
Chun Yuqiong turned around and walked back, thinking that she would go to the family she saw when she first came over, the lady's body shape was still a symbol, but she could make up for a living.
As he was walking, he saw two black-clothed masked people appear outside his camp not far away, Chun Yuqiong frowned, looking at the outfit a little familiar.
Outside the tent.
"What kind of person!" the disciples of Ice Hell City who were guarding the camp immediately shouted when they saw someone coming. Hearing the voice, some of the other disciples who were patrolling also ran over one after another, and saw that there were twenty or thirty people.
"Crying and laughing!" Zhang Xiudao, who was wearing a mask, said: "We have to cross the river on a mission, please let me go." ”
In the past few days, the two of them have spared a circle around here, and what surprised the two of them was that even so, there were people sent by the major forces to guard the ferries in the rear, but fortunately, there were not many of them, otherwise they would definitely think that this strategy of attacking the east and west had been seen through.
I wanted to avoid these guards, and wanted to go farther around, but on the other side was the direction leading to the black nest, and there were only a lot more guards around the ferry on that side.
In desperation, after making a trade-off, the two chose such a remote place with relatively few guards to prepare to cross the river.
The time was also deliberately chosen to be close to the evening, in case anyone sees the flaw, the two of them can also come to kill and seize the ship. Even if they are chased, the two can easily get rid of each other under the cover of night.
But if possible, none of them wanted that to happen. If there's a fight here, as long as they don't clean up all the people here, if a fish slips through the net, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Don't look at the two of them now pretending to be people who are crying and laughing, if they really fight, these people in Ice Hell City may not think of anything. But if someone knows about this, it is not difficult to deduce their plans based on the fact that they have not been able to find the whereabouts of the two for so many days, and the comparison between the two.
At that time, they had no way back, so they could only continue to make a detour to Luoyang, but in that case, the risk was not much smaller than before, and the efforts and planning were in vain.
However, as long as the river can be crossed smoothly, the road after that is relatively undangerous at all. The only thing to worry about is the person who is crying and laughing, if the other party hears the conversation between the two that day, there will definitely be obstacles along the way.
"Vice Captain Lu, what should I do?" Chun Yuqiong, who took the lead, was not there, and these Ice Hell City disciples naturally focused their eyes on Deputy Captain Lu Kuang.
Ice Hell City and Crying and Laughing Floating Slaughter, there is no grudge between the two sides, but there has been a cooperative relationship before. Although it ended in failure, it made both sides a little unhappy, but now everyone's eyes are on the Supreme Treasure Seal, and no one will be embarrassed by each other at this time because of the previous small festival.
Lu Kuang naturally understood this, and said: "Yes, but why are there only the two of you? I heard that the black-faced killers who cry and laugh at Futu are all in a group of six, are there other people who haven't come? It's not too early now, if the sky is completely dark, you can only wait for tomorrow morning to cross the river." ”
"Forehead ......" Zhang Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect this person to do so much, and he actually asked him this question. I didn't think about how to answer for a while, for fear that if I said something wrong, it would not arouse suspicion, and this kind of pretending to be someone else was done for the first time, and I didn't have enough experience.
Seeing this, Liu Yifan hurriedly spoke: "Don't wait, just the two of us." Others...... Dead!"
Lu Kuang saw the scars and blood stains on the clothes of the two, and guessed that the other party seemed to have experienced some kind of battle, so he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said, "Take the two of you across the river." ”
After receiving the order, two people immediately led this embroidery and Liu Yifan to the ferry.
Seeing that things were going so smoothly, both of them were also relieved.
"Wait a minute!" a voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
