Chapter 110: A Contest in the Dark
At night, the sound of the waves crashing and the water being broken is mixed in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoThree behemoths on the water are moving, the candles on the boat are longing, and people are faintly seen coming and going, but there is no superfluous excitement. This is one of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, from north to south to carry the transport of large ships, in the daytime, the large and small ships on this river come and go, here at night, most of the boatmen dock to rest, the water surface is empty, occasionally the boat comes, see three building boats, is to immediately avoid.
It was late at night, and in addition to the soapy clothes on duty, some noises and walking sounds gradually stopped. A crown of eagle wings was taken off, a hairpin was drawn, and a silky silver thread slid down like a waterfall, and a shawl. On the bed, the silly girl tossed and turned, kicked off the futon, and talked in a daze.
Bai Muqiu smiled and gently re-covered the quilt for her, and then walked out of the hatch, the night breeze outside was blowing, and when she stood at the bow of the ship, her silver hair and robe swayed and fluttered with the oncoming wind.
"How's the news?"
Under the lantern behind him, Cao Shaoqin stood there with his sword in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to be full of murderous intent about what was going to happen in the future, "There is no news from Yu Qianhu's side yet, maybe it's already halfway there." Just ....."
"Just what?" Bai Muqiu looked at him sideways.
Although Cao Shaoqin's face was expressionless, there was still a little doubt in his eyes, "What my subordinates don't understand is why they want to transport ten kamikaze cannons to Hangzhou, there doesn't seem to be anything major happening here." β
With a flick of the cuffs, Bai Muqiu turned around and walked back, his clothes flew up, and when he was side by side with Cao Shaoqin, his voice was indifferent, and it reached the other party's ears, "Look more and talk less, do what the governor says, don't think about questioning." β
"Yes. Cao Shaoqin lowered his head and answered.
Subsequently, Bai Muqiu said: "After landing in Hangzhou, don't make a noise after being transported into the city, and find a place to settle down first." After that, I went to Qingluan Valley with Bendu to find the person named Yu Chongzhi, he had a home remedy in his hand, and our family was very interested. β
"How to deal with the green forest over there in Nanping, please show the superintendent. β
"They're just bait, they've been taken advantage of...... Bai Muqiu held on to the railing of the boat and looked at the dark water, "Ben Du also let go of a few of them to see who couldn't bear it first." β
His eyes were cold, and on the other end of his gaze, suddenly a torch ran along the riverbank, signaling and shaking, and then a large boat in the middle put down a small boat, rowed to the shore, took something from the man's hand, and then came this way, handing over.
When the rice paper was opened and handed to Bai Muqiu, he just glanced at it and threw it into the wind. Cao Shaoqin clamped the paper that floated away with two fingers, looked at the content on it carefully, and his face was solemn, "Sure enough, as the overseer said, our spies over there have been cleaned up, and their style is very similar to our East Factory." β
"It's that woman who's stupidβ"
Bai Muqiu sneered, turned around and returned to the cabin.
The piece of paper with the news was blown away by the wind and fell into the river. On the other side of Cao Shaoqin's field of vision, it was as if the wind was sweeping black clouds in the sky, sweeping towards this side.
It's like a rainstorm is coming......... And the giant boat still broke the waves.
.........
In the small county of Nanping where the rain had passed, Su Wanling quietly opened the door alone, and before she could sneak out, she was caught by the second senior brother Qin Mian, but then the two went out together.
In the early morning of the second day after the rain, the water on the ground has not yet dried, the road is muddy, the two of them are wandering on the street, the people in the rivers and lakes they meet, their faces are solemn, and they feel that the whole county town is densely covered with a hidden Xiao killing, everyone looks in a hurry, and occasionally meets one or two people who can talk, and they also leave after a few words.
The two had breakfast on the street, but they heard some news, last night's rainy night, a lot of corpses were found all over the county, and most of them were heroes who came to help the fist, that is to say, from the occasional two or three corpses, it slowly began to evolve into dozens of people being killed in the same night.
The atmosphere in the county suddenly became tense.
After the two of them ate, they were about to go home and tell Li Wenwen the news, but on the way, they saw a group of people gathered on the side of the street, and the atmosphere was quite lively, and many people applauded and even laughed. Diametrically opposed to other places in the county, Su Wanling and Qin Mian were naturally a little curious, stepped forward, and took a look at it on their tiptoes, it turned out that there was a Jianghu craftsman playing acrobatics there, that person was very handsome, well-proportioned, and compared with the pile of Jianghu heroes in front of him, he was much more elegant and kind.
At first glance, Su Wanling had a good impression of this juggler, and when she saw the highlights, she couldn't help but shout hello with the crowd, and then she turned her head to Qin Mian and said, "Senior brother, I see that the second senior brother and Old Man Luo have sad faces all day long, so it's better to bring this person back and let them change their mood." β
"I'm afraid it's not good to bring a stranger back. Qin Mian shook his head and refused, and even looked at the juggling young man a little annoyed.
Seeing that she was rejected, Su Wanling snorted and turned her head to continue looking. It didn't take long for the man to be tired, sit down to rest, but he didn't forget to make friends with the people around him, this person spoke very measuredly, and he was very good, so that many people had a good impression of him, and some simply sat down next to him and said something, calling 'brother' or 'cause trouble in the future, find me.' and so on.
After the crowd finally dispersed, Su Wanling walked over and called the young man who was a performer, "You can't make much money by working hard here, why don't you come with me to a place, where people are generous and should make you a lot of money." β
The young man is very handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and when he laughs, he is even more enchanting. While sorting out the things he was selling, he shook his head and said, "Don't go, the rich are very stingy, it's better to be on the street." β
"You're a dead eye. Su Wanling persuaded: "Don't worry, with me, you won't be less than you can take." β
The young man stared at her, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, for the girl's righteousness, Xiaoyi will go once, but wait for me to eat." β
Immediately, he took out a dry biscuit from his dirty cloth bag and ate it with the water in the kettle. Seeing his depressed appearance, Su Wanling pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go, Miss Ben will take you to the restaurant over there to eat, don't nibble on flatbread." β
Qin Mian had already seen it with jealousy, but the other party was just a showman, if he did it, he would definitely be able to beat the other party softly, but he was arrogant and relied on the strong to bully the weak, and he was unwilling to do it. To no avail of dissuading the junior sister several times, I had to follow the past and sit next to me.
The young man spoke very decently, Rao is Qin Mian had an opinion on him, and after being complimented, he couldn't help but make peace with him a few times, and between the dinner tables, the young man named Xiaoyi had been walking with the atmosphere, telling what was good in the north and telling it together in the paragraph, making the two brothers and sisters laugh.
In the middle of the conversation, Qin Mian unconsciously said what happened and heard yesterday and even today as a talking point, so as not to lose his words, which was quite embarrassing.
The time was close to noon, there were more and more people coming and going on the street, the crowd was crowded, three burly and majestic people were squeezing inside, a big monk, a man with a hair and a stubby and a fierce man with a thick and bare chest, and it happened that the three of them saw this restaurant, so they came together.
As soon as the three of them entered the store, their eyes moved slightly, and their faces froze. At the table in the middle of his sight, the young man with his back may have noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere in the air, raised his head suddenly, and then smiled and said to Su Wanling and the others: "Xiao Yi has taken a step in advance and will go to the house to perform another day." β
Then, without waiting for the two to react, they jumped lightly from the wooden fence and jumped into the street. Qin Mian opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say how this person ran away after eating, and the people here in the north are not reliable. Suddenly, in front of the store, the three men rushed onto the street, smashing into the crowd.
I don't know if any of them shouted, "Yan Xiaoyi, I'll kill you-"
The staff, the double sword, and the axe were raised, and they killed the back of the person who ran out.
ps: I'm sorry, but the first update is over, because it's two parallel straight lines at the same time, which is a bit difficult to write.
