Xu Haojie、Xu Haoyu The two brothers are tall,Looks dignified,Riding on a white horse, it is a jade tree in the wind、Majestic,It only provokes the women of the village on the road、The girls frequently looked。

In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the carriage at the front of the Jinfeng Commercial Bank, where the chief treasurer of the commercial bank and several other important stewards and guard leaders were standing on both sides, respectfully waiting for the two Xu brothers to ask.

Xu Haojie held a horsewhip and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the red dog beast?"

The shopkeeper of the trading house hurriedly stepped forward and pointed to the carriage behind him that was tightly covered with cloth: "Master Huijie, it's right there." ”

Xu Haoyu immediately clamped off the horse,Let the white horse take a few steps forward,Then use the horsewhip to pick the cloth a little,Probe looked,Only then did he say to Xu Haojie with satisfaction: "Big brother,The red dog beast looks like it's in the prime of life.,It's a good thing.。 I believe that the seventh aunt must be very satisfied this time, and I must give my brothers more ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his brother Xu Haojie's coughing,Only then did he realize that he shouldn't mention this matter in public,So he turned to the shopkeeper of the firm and said:"Our brothers will follow you to Yangzhou City,Lest there be an eyeless thief on the road。 ”

The big shopkeeper of the firm secretly slandered in his heart, how can I need your protection, there are so many guards, and there are several masters, and there is no problem crossing the mountains and rivers along the way. However, he still said with a fleshy mouth: "If you are Jie Shao and Yu Shao, then no one will dare to rob this goods." It's windy and sandy outside, why don't you get into the carriage and talk again?"

Xu Haojie and Xu Haoyu glanced at each other, and then nodded, dismounted and followed the big shopkeeper into the carriage.

When Xu Haoyu opened the cloth to look at the red dog beast, Chen Ke stretched his neck to take a peek, but how could he see it clearly, and it took a while before he sat down and muttered: "I don't know what that strange beast looks like? Is it a supernatural power? That aunt and grandmother of the Xu family know how to use immortal laws! How can the strange beast she fancy be ordinary!"

The Red Canine Beast was just a mutated canine, and Shi Xuan remembered that writing the talisman seal with its blood would slightly increase its power, so he just smiled and said nothing.

The old master Du Yifu was not satisfied, and looked at Chen Ke with disdain: "How can there be any immortal magic powers! Hmph, that strange beast is probably more strange and rare. ”

Of course, Chen Ke disagreed, so he pulled Shi Xuan into the topic: "Shi Gongzi, I heard that you are from Xia'an Mansion, and this Xu family also started from Xia'an Mansion, you should have heard of it, right?"

Shi Xuan naturally wouldn't say that the two outside were my sons and nephews, and they had to pay a big salute when they saw me, but they just said perfunctorily: "I've heard of it, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it." "I didn't expect Xu Tianqi to be the deputy owner of the Drizzle Building, the Xu family has grown really fast in the past 20 years, Xu Jinyi is afraid that she has made a lot of efforts, but I don't know that when she was delayed in the family, she still had some thoughts on cultivation.

Chen Ke also cared about Shi Xuan's perfunctory, and said with a smile: "If I can get to know one or two people from the Xu family, this single gang of transactions can be expanded several times, hey, it's a pity that I can't get along." There was a deep longing on his face.

Old Master Du couldn't get used to Chen Ke's appearance, so he snorted coldly and turned his head and stopped talking.

Chen Ke saw that Du Yifu was dissatisfied, and he didn't take it to heart, and said to Shi Xuan with a smile: "Shi Gongzi's demeanor is extraordinary, this is reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles?" Because the closer to Jiangnan, the more people left the caravan, and many carriages were empty, and then they were used by some lower-level stewards to load the specialties they bought along the way, and they could make some money when they returned to Yangzhou, so in line with the principle of concentrating on vacating more carriages, Chen Ke moved to the carriage of Shi Xuan and Old Master Du today.

"Sort of. Shi Xuan didn't have any objection to Chen Ke's verbosity, just in time to hear some things about Middle-earth.

As soon as Chen Ke was accosted, he immediately began to talk endlessly.

............

Five days later, in the evening, the caravan had already reached the edge of the river, and the opposite bank was the city of Yangzhou, when everyone in the caravan got out of the carriage and stood at the wharf, waiting to change to the big ship.

At this time, when there is a lot of rain in summer, the rain not only shakes those bright and dazzling flowers to the ground, but also raises the water level of the river a lot, and the river surface is even wider, and you can't even see the other side at a glance.

The waves on the river are strong and the water is urgent, the turbid waves are empty, and it is evening, there are few people on the boat, but the Xu brothers are like arrows, and when they think that today is the birthday of the seventh aunt, their hearts are in a hurry, so the two of them found the big shopkeeper of the business house and asked him to find the boss of the boat gang belonging to the drizzle building, and he must arrange a boat to cross the river.

Shi Xuan looked at the rolling river, remembering the same scene twenty years ago, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, if he hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation, he would be a middle-aged man in his forties now. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw those boatmen worshipping the gods, thinking that they were forced by the Xu brothers to ask the gods for their blessing before they dared to leave the boat.

"Hehe, I didn't expect these boatmen to start worshipping Pudu Bodhisattva. Chen Ke stood beside Shi Xuan and saw this scene as well.

Isn't it the name of the god that I gave to Fang? Unexpectedly, the believers of the Fang clan have developed so well, and they have already arrived outside Yangzhou, and they are suspected of being stained with the light of the Xu family's expansion. Shi Xuan's heart was relaxed, and he smiled lightly: "Could it be that Brother Chen Ke, you also believe in Pudu Bodhisattva?"

Chen Ke grinned: "What is there to believe in this clay sculpture Bodhisattva, I believe in the living immortals, the national teacher on the spot, Nanguang Zhenren!

Heh, Nanguang Zhenren, I didn't expect Ding Mingde to live so well, but the kind of mind in his heart to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family has not changed at all.

Since there was news of a few disciples, Shi Xuan asked more, but unfortunately, whether it was Yan Jujian, Yan Nantian, Nantian Zhenren, Chu Wan'er, Chu Fairy, or Chu Witch, Chen Ke shook his head and didn't know what he was, looking at his posture, Bacheng still thought that Shi Xuan was using those fake people to slap him in the face with extensive knowledge.

............

Outside Yangzhou City, on the edge of the river, Phoenix Tower.

From the evening, the whole building is brightly lit, and the people inside are full of people, and they are all rich and expensive to see how they are dressed.

Xu Tianqi was already middle-aged, with two neatly repaired mustaches on his mouth, frowning and looking at the half-dark Dajiang outside the window, and said to the lady next to him: "Why haven't Jie'er and Yu'er come back yet, didn't they send someone to deliver a letter the day before yesterday and say that they were in time?"

Before Mrs. could answer, an old man with a ruddy face next to him smiled and said, "Nephew Jiexian and nephew Yuxian are filial piety, Brother Xu, you should be satisfied with having such two sons." The old man wouldn't mind thinking that the fairy in brocade clothes. As he spoke, he looked at Xu Jinyi, who was at the top.

Xu Jinyi was wearing a red dress, looking like she was still in her twenties, thinking that she was a successful practitioner and a skill, but there was a hint of tiredness and helplessness between her eyebrows, and she smiled lightly: "What Lord Zhu said is that I have already said that the two of them don't have to do these tricks, just when they arrive." ”

On the top floor of the Phoenix Building, there were a total of six tables of banquets, including the elders of the Xu family, the senior officials of the Yangzhou Prefecture, the senior officials of the Fucheng, the high-level of the Drizzle Building, the high-level of other gangs, and the representatives of the famous factions who came from afar to celebrate their birthdays.

A few floors below the Phoenix Tower were other lower-level guests, who looked upstairs with reverence from time to time while they were talking about wine.

............

A medium-sized ferry has been prepared,It is full of boatmen who have accumulated years,Xu Haojie、Xu Haoyu took more than a dozen people to move the cage holding the red dog beast up,Then stand on the deck and order to go。 As for the rest of the caravan, of course, they waited until the second day was calm before crossing the river.

Watching the boat slowly sail towards the river,Xu Haojie smiled at Xu Haoyu:"Didn't you say that the dark waves are not suitable for boating?

Xu Haoyu held the bow of the boat, looked at the wide river, and also smiled: "It's not that those boatmen are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they don't want to take any risks." ”

Walking and walking, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the waves are getting bigger and bigger, this medium-sized ferry is swaying left and right, making the Xu family brothers' faces begin to turn pale, looking at the huge waves that hit in front of them from time to time, as if they were all hitting their hearts.

Everyone on the shore looked at the ferry that seemed to be capsizing in the next moment, some were worried, some were afraid, some prayed, and some were gloating, such as Chen Ke sneered: "Then the two brothers of the Xu family think that they are the supernatural aunt and grandmother of his family, such a big wind and waves, I am afraid that they will feed Wang Ba." ”

Although Old Master Du is pedantic, he can be regarded as kind-hearted, and glared at Chen Ke fiercely: "If you still say this kind of thing at this time, aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”

Suddenly, the others let out a loud scream together,The two hurriedly looked at the center of the river,I saw that the ferry boat had already turned over,Several people on the deck fell into the river like dumplings,There are Xu Haojie、Xu Haoyu brothers。

"Who's going to save people?" someone shouted.

But the people on the shore, you look at me, I look at you, they don't dare to move. In this kind of storm, if you go to save people, it is called death!

Shi Xuan sighed, and walked towards the river, Chen Ke didn't want to pull it, and hurriedly shouted: "Shi Gongzi, this is not a joke, it will kill you!"

Du Yifu also shouted: "If the son has this thought, he is considered a good person, but he can't give away his surname in vain." As soon as the words fell, Old Master Du's eyes widened, and the stone boy had already stepped on the water steadily, walking towards the center of the river like a walk, and it seemed that what was under his feet was not water, but a flat avenue!

Because of the shouting just now, everyone on the shore saw the scene of Shi Xuan stepping on the water, and there was a silence for a while, and it took a long time before someone knelt down and said: "The Bodhisattva has appeared, the Bodhisattva has appeared." ”

"Immortals descend to earth, immortals descend to earth. ”

Chen Ke opened his mouth wide, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief, Shi Gongzi, who was talking and laughing just now, became an existence that he couldn't understand in a blink of an eye, this is even more magical than Nanguang Zhenren!

Old Master Du rubbed his eyes, and rubbed his eyes again, until he saw that Shi Gongzi casually threw a boatman who fell into the water back to the shore, and then the boatman stood up intact and shouted excitedly: "The gods saved me, the gods saved me." The old man sighed: "It seems that the old man made a mistake in explaining the strange power of silence." ”

Shi Xuan didn't dare to mobilize the aura of heaven and earth, unless he was using a flying sword, it was not very convenient to fly, but the true qi in his body had already been mixed with evil qi and qi, and he adjusted it slightly, he had already made himself lighter than water, stepped on the water, and strode to the wreck.

............

In the Phoenix Building. I don't know who first discovered the capsizing of Jiang Xin, and then soon the entire restaurant knew about it.

"Then, isn't that the Xu family brothers?!" someone suddenly shouted.

Xu Tianqi and Xu Jinyi hurriedly ran to the window, looked at each other, and saw several men struggling in the huge waves, as if there were Xu Haojie and Xu Haoyu.

"Seventh sister, save your nephew. Xu Tianqi knew that under this kind of natural power, he would not be useful at all, so he asked Xu Jinyi for help.

How could Xu Jinyi not agree, just as he was about to show his talent and supernatural powers, he heard the sound of everyone gasping for air, and when he looked around, he saw a young man with his hands behind his back, leisurely, step by step, walking towards the heart of the river, it seemed that the huge waves and winds were not worth mentioning at all.

Xu Jinyi and Xu Tianqi were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and saw the same surprise and excitement in each other's eyes, and then Xu Jinyi muttered in his mouth: "Shi Shi!" The deeper his cultivation has been over the years, the more grateful Xu Jinyi has become to Shi Xuan, so he no longer calls him senior brother in his heart, but uses Shi Shi, who represents the identity of a half-master.
