The fat man, known as Ke Laosan, was taken aback, squinted his eyes and looked at Duan Xiliu left and right, his face trembling. The black-clothed men around the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at each other, and all of them pulled out their glittering waist knives and slowly forced them up, and they actually wrapped the two of them in the middle.

The ground was covered with mud, and the leather boots that the two of them were wearing were already covered with mud at this time, and even their bodies were covered with mud. The two horses were also covered in mud, and their hooves kept turning in the mud, looking very impatient. Xiao Han heard Duan Xiliu shout the fat man's name, he thought they knew each other, but he didn't expect that people would surround him.

He had a long sword at his waist, and he was just about to make a move, when he suddenly heard Ke Laosan laughing, and then slammed it to the ground: "It turned out that the fifth prince arrived, Ke Laosan has eyes and no beads, damn it." With a wave of the fat hand, the men in black immediately put away their knives and retreated.

Xiao Han's heart was relieved, he took a step back, and let Duan Xiliu stand in front. Duan Xiliu smiled, nodded slightly to him, and then said to Ke Laosan: "I heard that you disappeared three years ago, but you are doing this here. Ke Laosan laughed and invited the two of them to get on the boat, and the horses were naturally led by someone. Xiao Han had been impatient to walk around in the mud, so when he heard this, he arched his hand and followed Duan Xiliu to the boat along a pedal.

The two rubbed the mud off their feet on the boat, and Ke Laosan handed over two towels to let the two wipe off the mud on their bodies, and then invited them to enter the cabin and sit down. Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu sat together, Ke Laosan sat opposite them, and there was a table in the middle with a teapot on it and four teacups on the side.

Ke Laosan poured tea for the two, Duan Xiliu introduced Xiao Han to him, and the two met again, and then sat down again. Ke Laosan was very respectful to Duan Xiliu, and the two of them talked about the past with a word, and Xiao Han listened with interest on the side.

It turned out that this Ke Laosan was originally a Jiangyang thief, and he met the second Gu Zhonghe in the Tianshan faction during a roadblock robbery, and was subdued by him with a move, and wanted to abolish his martial arts, but fortunately Luo Beihong was benevolent and persuaded his subordinates to be merciful, and finally let him go. Ke Laosan escaped with his life and didn't dare to walk on the rivers and lakes anymore, so he fled here, became a snake head, and professionally smuggled people.

The Yangtze River is wide, and although the Northern Zhou and Southern Tang Dynasty are full of sentry posts and soldiers along the river, it is difficult for them to inspect everywhere, which gives them a loophole. However, the procedures for traveling to and from various countries are cumbersome, so some people take underground routes, and the smuggling business naturally arises. Ke Laosan has high martial arts skills and many tricks, and soon killed or annexed other snakeheads, and in the end, he was the only one in the range of dozens of miles up and down the Yangtze River, and he became a standard gangster boss.

After talking for a while, Ke Laosan ordered his subordinates to deliver food, and after the two hurriedly finished eating, they saw Ke Laosan get off the boat and leave. After a while, the boat moved, and Xiao Han sat in the cabin and saw dozens of people outside struggling to push the boat. Slowly sliding into the depths of the reeds along a sewage ditch, he suddenly felt a light underneath him, and the hull of the boat entered the river, followed by a thin young man jumped on the boat, took the rudder, and slowly set the right direction. Two more men put a huge board on the bow of the boat, and Ke Laosan personally led their horses up, the horses were very heavy, and they pressed the hull down a few inches at once, which startled Xiao Han, for fear of sinking the ship.

The three of them waved goodbye, at this time the sky was dark, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the clouds were thick, the river was black, and nothing could be seen clearly, only the black man's "whooshing" paddling sound could be heard. As soon as the ship left the shore, Xiao Han suddenly said to Ke Laosan: "Boss Ke, did you see a young girl crossing the river five days ago?" Duan Xiliu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "She should still have someone to follow." ”

There was nothing to see in the darkness, but there was no movement on the other side. The two looked at each other, not knowing if Ke Laosan had left. When he was hesitating whether to continue walking, he heard Ke Laosan's voice on the other side: "This is indeed the case, the girl was accompanied by two Taoist priests to cross the river, but it was not sent by our people." Duan Xiliusong and Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and said together: "Thank you." There was no movement on the other side, and the black man continued to shake the oars, and the boat slowly moved towards the middle of the river.

The widest part of the Yangtze River is only seven or eight miles wide, and the narrowest part is less than two miles wide. The three people and two horses were very heavily loaded, and the black man was silent, and it was very easy to row a board and a glance, and the boat slowly approached the north bank of the river. Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu sat in the dark, only hearing the sound of their breathing.

When Xiao Han heard Ke Laosan's answer, he felt very relieved, but he felt a little strange when he thought that she was actually accompanied by two Taoist priests, and he unconsciously remembered Jin Renze and his apprentice Lin Junshen. Then I thought that Ye Tianhan and Jin Renze almost fought because of Sunan Xing, it shouldn't be the two of them, so who could it be?

He was thinking nonsense, so he heard the black man outside the cabin whisper: "Two sons, please get off the boat." The two of them hurriedly got up and went out of the cabin and led the horses. In the darkness, he saw four men standing on the opposite bank, and without saying a word, he put the two planks on the boat, and then the two came up to help lead the horses, and Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu followed. When they all went down, the other two men withdrew from the planks, and the black man in the boat waved his oars, and the boat turned around and disappeared into the vast river.

Xiao Han didn't expect that the smuggling would actually become a scale, and seeing that these people didn't say a word, they acted like a word, obviously well-trained, and admired Ke Laosan's ability very much in his heart. Two of the four led their horses, and the other two took the planks, and disappeared into the reeds, not knowing where they were hiding.

Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu didn't say a word, and followed the two black-clothed men for more than half an hour, feeling that the ground under their feet was gradually hardening, and finally kicked the stone. The two men in black turned around and handed them the reins of the horse, and said goodbye, and the two hurriedly returned the salute. Without saying a word, one of the two men in black pointed ahead and made a forward gesture, then turned and disappeared into the infinite darkness.

Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu led the horses, walked one foot deep and one foot shallow in front of them, and walked for another half an hour, and saw a road in front of them in a haze. Duan Xiliu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Chuzhou official road." Xiao Han nodded and said, "Get on the horse." The two men turned on their horses and galloped forward.

Ran until the sky was twilight, and saw a tall city in front of them from a distance, the two breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Han rubbed his red eyes and said, "Ahh Duan Xiliu was also tired enough, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The two entered the city, did not care about enjoying the scenery in the city, immediately found a small inn to sleep, got up at noon and ate a bowl of noodles outside, and then the two continued to set off, continued to the north, through Haozhou, Suzhou, wind and snow, and finally arrived in Tokyo Bianliang on the twelfth day of the first month. The two hurried along the way, but they didn't see Li Yueying's shadow, but thinking that someone was protecting, the two were not in a hurry to look for it. Besides, Bianliang City is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Xiao Han naturally wants to appreciate it.

In fact, the two rode horses all the way, and saw houses and fields everywhere on both sides of the road, and chickens and dogs smelled each other. On both sides of the official road, there are gardens, everywhere the pink walls and fine willows, the eaves are heavy, the wide official road is enough to accommodate twenty carriages running side by side, and the bustling is full of carriages and horses coming and going.

The two stopped walking, Duan Xiliu kept giving him guidance, and slowly walked to the most prosperous street in Kaifeng City, Xiao Han stood at the corner of the street and only glanced at it, then he was dumbfounded, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

On both sides of the wide street, houses are stacked on top of each other, and all kinds of curtains are used as a guise in front of the door, and there are all kinds of shops and storefronts. Everything he'd seen before, except for high-tech appliances, was available here, and the service was quite warm and in place.

Walking further in, I saw all kinds of vendors on the street, including fortune tellers, car builders, head shavers, and letter writers, from all walks of life, covering everything. There is also a huge colorful building at the door of the big restaurant store, and the colorful and gorgeous flags are hung, just like the merchants who advertised in later generations.

In the market, the pedestrians under the restaurant are rubbing shoulders and flowing endlessly. The faces of the three sects and the nine streams were dumbfounded. He saw people from the Western Regions with deep eyes and high noses, young scholars who were born white and pure, gentry with big bellies, rich ladies dressed luxuriously, vendors selling melon seeds along the streets, middle-aged uncles who told stories and sang, little Loli wearing big red cotton robes, old men begging with broken bowls and crutches, and monks holding bowls and bowls to turn their fortunes from door to door. Xiao Han has only seen this situation on TV. Ahh
