Chapter 536: Turtles Fall into the River
Xu Feilong was about to get on the boat to get the silver, when he suddenly saw a speedboat in the middle of the river sailing at full speed through the gap in the trees. This kind of boat has no canopy, and it has an unobstructed view from above, and it is the surface of the river, which is close to each other, and it is still clearly visible.
The speedboat has a total of four oarsmen and is extremely fast. There were eight people in the cabin, holding pergolas on both sides and searching the two sides with their eyes, all of them were people who had worn water and had swords, looking majestic and burly, not mediocre.
Xu Feilong instinctively fell down, in fact, it was impossible for the people on the boat to see him, and the boat was also hidden under the shadow of the trees, and no one knew that there was a boat hidden here.
The speedboat finally passed, Xu Feilong let out a long breath, shook his head and said to himself, "I hope it's not me who is too worried." ”
Xu Feilong threw his sword to the ground, and the sound woke up Jiang Ao. This water hero is very alert, and when he heard the sound, he was startled for a moment, and first grabbed a water-splitting thorn on his side, saw that it was Xu Feilong, put down the water-splitting thorn and smiled: "It turned out to be you, when is it?"
"It's three poles up. ”
"Oh! it's not early, I should go look for food. ”
There is no shortage of gold and silver to make water in the river. He wrapped his shirt in a water-splitting thorn under the flank, broke a branch to make a dog-beating stick, carried more than 20 taels of silver in his belt, and swaggered eastward.
Coincidentally, a village appeared in the distance before he had walked a mile.
When I got closer, I couldn't help but be stunned, hey! There are people coming and going from the south to the north at both ends of the village, and it seems that it is the main road to and fro!
This kind of place is the most dangerous, and it is likely that there will be people specially arranged by Mo Fei to monitor it.
"What are you afraid of? Over here, who knows me over here?" said to himself and continued to walk forward.
Turning Jiang Ao walked up to the official road from the north of the village, swaggered into the north gate of the village, and saw a wine gourd hanging outside the door of a shop.
"Haha! It's great that there are still people selling alcohol. Turning Jiang Ao said with a laugh.
There were no customers in the small shop, and when I came to the store, the only guy was a middle-aged man with a mediocre face, who stepped forward with a smile and greeted: "The guest officer has worked hard, first drink a bowl of tea to quench his thirst, what do you want to eat?"
"What can you do in your store?" asked Xu Feilong as he sat down.
"It's not chicken, duck and fish, all kinds of side dishes, etc. ”
"Find a good wine for me, find a bamboo blue for a dozen catties of dishes, chicken and duck, not fish. Turning Jiang Ao put a dozen taels of broken silver on the table, and said: "Put it down, you can see what you do, as much as you want, of course, the more the better." I'm going to take the food and drinks, so I'll bring me a pot to quench my thirst first. ”
The shopkeeper was taken aback and said, "There are not many ready-made dishes in the small shop, can the guest wait?"
"Yes, you can just prepare. ”
The shopkeeper accepted the silver, his eyes straightened, and he saw that it was indeed the real silver, Fang was ecstatic and shouted to the inner room: "Lady, quickly slaughter all the five chickens in the cage, and then ask Xiaoxing to go to Sister-in-law Wang's house to call Xiaolong to come and help, and by the way, borrow the bacon from his house." ”
This kind of village restaurant does not store food at all, but makes it on the spot, and if you don't have any ingredients at home, you can borrow them from neighbors or other people's homes.
"Since you're going to wait, get me some appetizers. Turning Jiang Ao said.
"Good, good. The shopkeeper replied happily, and hurriedly sent two plates of side dishes, a pot of braised pork, and two pots of wine.
The turtle poured a pot of wine in one breath, blinked his lips and said, "I haven't drunk for three days, hey!
The shop is a husband and wife stall, plus a little girl, temporarily asked a young man from the neighborhood to help, the stove is in the back, and the shopkeeper also went to the back to help because he didn't need to take care of the guests.
It's not the time to eat, there are no guests in the store, and I am full of wine and food, and I am standing up and patting my belly with satisfaction, wiping my dense chest hair, which is not easy to feel. The sound of footsteps was in my ears, and two middle-aged men in Tsing Yi had already stepped into the store.
The turtle turned his head and said, "It's two people from the rivers and lakes, I have to pay attention to it." ”
The two middle-aged people each carried a small bag, a sword, a sword, and a lot of things bulging in the treasure bag.
The middle-aged man with the sword at the head has a flat face, a mustache, and a big thick eyebrows.
When he entered the store, his sharp and shrewd gaze first fell on the strong chest of Jiang Ao. Smiled: "Your Excellency is a shopkeeper?"
"No, it's a rest. ”
"Where's the store?"
"Prepare to eat in the back. ”
"Oh, shop, shop. The middle-aged man called to the back of the house.
The shopkeeper went out in response, wiped his hands with an apron, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"
The middle-aged man sat down at the adjacent table and said with a smile: "My brother is tired, I want two pots of wine to refresh me, and ask a few things, and the wine will be taken first." ”
"Yes, yes, please sit down. ”
Soon, the store sent two pots of wine, two plates of fried peanuts and fragrant beans, and said: "The guest officer, please take care of yourself, the small ones are busy behind......"
"Don't be busy, I have something to ask. ”
"The guest officer has ...... What do you have to say?"
The middle-aged man poured himself a drink and asked, "Shopkeeper, how far is it from here to Fengcheng?"
"It's probably about three or four miles away. ”
"What's this place called?"
"It's called Qujiang Village, and the south is Jinhuawei. ”
"Isn't Jinhuawei still six or seven miles away from the county seat?"
"Not so much, guest officer, it's only two steps away. The shopkeeper laughed.
The middle-aged man smiled at his companion and said, "It seems that it is more reliable to go to the riverside outside the city to check." ”
"Brother Lu's expectation is not bad, there will be no news around here, but you can ask and try your luck. Let's go early, and if we make a mistake, the people behind will catch up with us. The companion replied lazily.
Brother Lu nodded yes, turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, have you seen three customers from the north in the past two days?"
"Hehe, three guests, more than three hundred. ”
"No! I'm going to ask about two men and a woman. ”
"I've never seen it, and it's hard to see one or two women walking on this road all year round. ”
"Oh! Thank you. ”
The shopkeeper turned around and said goodbye, something should have happened, he turned to Jiang Ao and said with a smile: "The guest officer has to wait for a while, there are a lot of dishes, a few dishes are good, and the others are about the same." That jar of wine is nearly forty catties, do you want the guest officer to help send it, and where will it be sent?"
Brother Lu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Brother, how many companions do you have if you want to sprinkle so many vegetables?"
"Seventeen or eighteen. The turtle replied.
"What about your companion?"
"In that wood. The turtle pointed outward.
Brother Lu glanced at his companion and asked, "May I ask my brother to respect his name?" I am Lu Xinchuan, this is my sworn brother......
"Lu Shining. The companion gave his name without expression.
"I have been looking up for a long time, my surname is Liu, and my name is De. "Turning Jiang Ao is talking nonsense, but there is no flaw.
"Brother Liu is a local?"
"Small place, Nanchang people. ”
"Hehe! Nanchang is still a small place, a big place. ...... not consulted"
Turning Jiang Ao has a straightforward appearance, but he is actually quite shrewd, he has done a lifetime of trading without capital, and if he is not shrewd, he should have lost his old capital a long time ago, and immediately counterattacked: "The accents of the two of you seem to be from Huguang, what are you doing here?"
"Let's find a friend......"
"Your honorable name, it's a waste of time to ask around, it's not okay. ”
"We have time. ”
"That's not the way to go. How many people do I know in this area, maybe I know your friend, who is your friend?"
Brother Lu probably thought that there was no suspicion of turning over the river turtle, and said with a smile: "If you don't settle down in your land, Brother Liu won't know you, my friend is surnamed Zhang and Xu, and there is a girl surnamed Yan." Two of us left first, and they knew our friends. ”
Lu Shining took out a graphic, handed it over and said, "It's this person, it's called Xu Feilong, has Brother Liu seen this person?"
"The devil sent me to meet him. The turtle was secretly shocked in his heart.
The turtle turned over quietly, handed over the figure, and said calmly: "I haven't seen this person, but he looks a little delicate, not like a prisoner." ”
"How do you know it's a prisoner?" Lu Xinchuan asked, catching the change in the turtle's eyes with his eyes.
The turtle smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a rice bucket? You said that there are people in front of you who know the criminal, and you are not good men and women looking for friends." It's rare in the world to find friends like you. ”
"Your Excellency, too. ”
"Forget it, I don't deal with people in the public business. ”
"We're not in the public business. Lu Xinchuan said as he looked at the clothes that the turtle had put aside.
There is a thorn under the clothes, and there is only one exposed stool trough.
The shopkeeper happened to put the big bamboo basket on the table, put it on the table and said, "Do you want some dishes and chopsticks?"
"No need. Turning Jiang Ao said. He lifted the forty-pound wine jar, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to use the flat burden, and skillfully grabbed the shirt with his left hand and lifted it together with the bamboo basket. Grab the jar with his right hand and walk out.
This time it immediately aroused the suspicion of Lu and Lu, there were things in the clothes, and they couldn't escape the eyes of the masters, and if the clothes were not put on, it was also a loophole. How far can a jar of wine be lifted by 40 catties? Why don't you find a store to give you a ride? Looking over the figure and appearance of the turtle, you can see at a glance that Kong Wu is powerful, but walking in a hurry is also the biggest flaw.
Lu Xinchuan glanced at Lu Shining, and rushed over the back of the turtle to sign.
Turning the river turtle carried the wine and food out of the store, folded to the left, and bumped into two middle-aged travelers with a slender figure, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said in his heart: "Oh no, their people are here." ”
The two middle-aged men were also wearing green clothes and wrapping with swords, but they didn't pay attention to a strange man who was carrying items, his eyes fell on the wine gourd at the door of the store, and walked towards the small shop.
As soon as the turtle left the village, the four hateful trackers had already followed out of the store.
The turtle knew that something was wrong, and flashed on the side of the road and walked away.
One hundred and ten meters away is the hidden area of grass and trees, and when the turtle reaches the forest, Lu and Lu have already appeared at the entrance of the village.
The two Tsing Yi people who arrived later also chased out.
Not far from the official road in the north, there were five more people in Tsing Yi, and the person who walked in front was Mo Fei.
The turtle rushed into the forest, turned his head to look, and secretly screamed that it was terrible.
Lu Xinchuan stood at the entrance of the village and shouted to his companions: "That guy walked to the river, brought a lot of food, and his appearance was suspicious. Tell the people in the back, let's go and have a look. ”
"He's running away, chase after him!" Lu Shining shouted urgently.
A man in Tsing Yi let out a short howl and shouted "Chase!" The lead flew towards the dense forest, and his body was extremely fast.
The second one to chase out was Lu Xinchuan, who was faster than the galloping horse.
In the distance, Mo Fei's five feet tightened and rushed wildly.
Lu Shining was probably overexcited, and shouted into the distance: "Brother Mo, take two steps faster, there are suspicious people by the river, quickly copy from below, be careful." ”
It is only so far away that there is no need for a loud scream, such a loud scream, the sound can be heard as far as two or three miles away, and the people by the river can also hear it.
Xu Feilong and Miss Xiaomin by the river couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the shout.
The sound passed through the woods, mixed with the sound of leaves fluttering, so it was not real, but anyway, it was not the right sound, not the sound of turning over the river, so I knew that it was a little bad.
"Someone is coming, ready. Xu Feilong shouted urgently, threw his sword at the girl, and said, "Get on the boat and hide in the cabin." ”
The forest is deep and the grass is lush, and both hands carry a large amount of food, and the sound is very loud when walking, and the speed cannot be fast, and the vegetables will not be able to draw if they are broken. Therefore, near the river, the first Tsing Yi man was about to catch up, and shouted after him: "Stop!"
Turning over the river ignored it, and rushed in the right direction.
The people in Tsing Yi were already within ten meters, and Lu Xinchuan was also dozens of meters away.
Jiang Ao was anxious in his heart, and blurted out: "Hurry up, the chasing soldiers have arrived." The turtle was intended to warn Xu Feilong to leave quickly, but he didn't know that it attracted Xu Feilong.
How could Xu Feilong leave his friends and run away by himself? Quietly hiding to the side, let Jiang Ao go over, suddenly burst out, shouted, threw the man in Tsing Yi to the ground, and unexpectedly coerced the other party.
The man in Tsing Yi exclaimed, fell to the ground and rolled over, then broke free from Xu Feilong's control and jumped up.
Xu Feilong rushed in like a storm, his palms flew quickly, and he attacked four palms in a row, and with a loud shock of "Peng", the middle-aged man rolled down under the tree again, groaned twice, and couldn't get up.
Lu Xinchuan happened to grab it, with an angry roar, he drew his sword out of the sheath, and rushed viciously, seeing Xu Feilong's appearance clearly, he was taken aback, and was about to flash aside to warn his companions who came from behind. But a step too late, Xu Feilong had already taken the preemptive action, pulled out the middle-aged man's long sword, and the sword rainbow shot, probing his chest and emptying straight in, and the wind and thunder were all in unison.
With a violent sound of "Zheng", Lu Xinchuan set up a sword, flashed sharply to the side, and the blood from the tiger's mouth oozed out, and he couldn't help but feel cold.
Xu Feilong was about to pursue, and there was an anxious cry from behind him: "Retreat! Walk on the water, quickly!"
Lu Xinchuan took the opportunity to fly, escaped like a rabbit, and screamed in pain: "There is a person here who is very similar to Xu Feilong, come quickly!"
Xu Feilong was taken aback, turned his head and left.
Pan Jiangao had already set up the oars, and Miss Xiaomin was at the helm, shouting, "Come up!"
Xu Feilong jumped up, the girl was a little penny, and the boat slid outward, piercing the low-hanging branches and buds, and sailed towards the center of the river like an arrow.
"What's going on?" Xu Feilong asked the oars who were flying over the river.
