Kenshin and Kenshin observed for a while, then looked at each other again, nodded to each other, and then closed the window, ready to discuss. Dugu Jian, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, came to the girl's room and sat at the table with Zhang Linxin, Dugu Jian spoke first: "Lin'er, I think there is something wrong with this matter, so many golden soldiers came so early, it seems that there must be something inside here." ”

Zhang Linxin poured a glass of water and handed it to Dugu Jian, and said: "Brother Dugu, it's hard to say at this time, I look at the Jin soldiers below, there are only two thousand people, and it shouldn't take more than two hours to cross the river." ”

Dugu Jian shook his head, looked at the girl and said: "Lin'er, I don't think it's so simple, do you see, these golden soldiers are all cavalry, it seems that they are just pioneers, you see that as soon as they arrived here, they took over the ferry and searched for ships everywhere." Believe it or not, there must be a large group of people behind them. ”

Zhang Linxin carefully recalled the actions of those golden soldiers just now, and it was indeed no different from what Dugu Jian said. The girl stood up, opened the window and looked out, only to see that half of the golden soldiers were crossing the river, and the rest of the soldiers were still searching for boats, it seemed that what Dugu Jian said was very reasonable. She closed the window and walked back to the table, frowned and said, "If that's the case, Brother Dugu, won't we be able to cross the river today?"

Dugu Jian didn't have a good way for a while, so he walked back and forth in the house a few times, and said: "This Yanjin Ferry is a famous big ferry on the Yellow River, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. When the Jin people cross the river, what should those passers-by do? Let's go out and inquire first. Zhang Linxin nodded, "Okay, then we'll go now!"

As he spoke, he got up and was about to walk out the door, Dugu Jian hurriedly grabbed her, and asked with a playful face: "Lin'er, you are really an anxious child, it is not dawn at this time, and the people have not gotten up yet, where are you going to inquire?"

The girl's face turned red, she sat down again, and gently patted Dugu Jian's body, "You will bully me!" Dugu Jian was also wronged, "How can I dare to bully you?" Zhang Lin pouted in his heart, "It's you, you just bullied me!" Tomorrow it won't be bright tomorrow, you say that you want to go to someone to inquire, and when I'm leaving, you say that it's not dawn, you just want to see my jokes. You're necrotic!" As he spoke, he raised his fist and slapped Dugu Jian again.

Seeing the girl playing petty with herself, Dugu Jian also smiled bitterly, so he had to raise his hands and beg for mercy again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, blame me, it's me who is not good." Hao Lin'er, I was wrong, just let me go. Zhang Linxin slapped his hands four or five times in a row, then he clapped his hands with satisfaction, looked at Dugu Jian and said, "Hmph! See if you dare to bully me in the future!" Dugu Jian hurriedly responded: "Yes, I will definitely not dare in the future." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a knock on the door outside. Dugu Jian hurriedly asked, "Who?" The voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door, and he only heard him say: "Guest officer, I wonder if you plan to cross the river today?"

Dugu Jian walked over and opened the door, only to see the shopkeeper standing at the door. Dugu Jian glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?" Why are you asking this?" The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "If the guest officer plans to cross the river today, then I'm afraid that he won't be able to go, so I ask the guest officer to make plans early." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Dugu Jian was puzzled. The shopkeeper continued: "You don't know, guest officer, today coincides with the first day of the new year, it is estimated that you also saw just now, those golden soldiers outside are going to Tokyo City, they are just a front team, there are about tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind, and the ships around here have been all collected by them, and there are not two days, but I am afraid that they will not be able to cross the river." If the guest officer plans to cross the river, he is afraid that he will have to wait for two days. ”

After listening to Xiao Er's words, Kenshin and the two were even more confused, why did the first Jin Ren go to Tokyo. Dugu Jian continued to ask: "Xiao Er, then let me ask you again, why did the Jin people send so many soldiers and horses to Tokyo?"

The little second was a little surprised, and replied: "Haven't you heard of the guest officer? This Jin man does not agree to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and is dispatching troops to prepare to attack the Great Song Dynasty again. In the past three months, on the first day of the new year, a group of golden soldiers would come from the north and go to the city of Tokyo. This month is already the third batch. ”

Jian Xin and the two glanced at each other, and Dugu Jian asked again: "Xiao Er, how do you know these things?" The shopkeeper replied: "Guest officer, except for you who come from other places, this matter can be said to be known to everyone in our place." ”

Zhang Linxin asked: "Xiao Er, let me ask you, is there no other place to cross the river except you?" Who knew that the shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, you can ask the right person this time, but there is really one." ”

"Really, I don't know where it is?" the girl asked in surprise.

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "Guest officer, you also know that at this time, Jin Bing is collecting boats on a large scale, and it is impossible to cross the river in the vicinity. Helping the two of them cross the river is a risk. Hearing this, how could the two of them not understand, this little two wanted some benefits? Dugu Jian took out a tael of silver, threw it to him and said, "Little Er, take it to buy tea to moisten your throat." ”

After taking the silver, the little two replied happily: "Thank you, guest officer! Thank you, guest officer!" Zhang Linxin looked at the little er's face and shouted: "Then you don't say it quickly!" The little two nodded again and again: "Yes, yes." The place I am talking about is Chenqiaoyi, which is forty miles east from here, and is where Emperor Taizu's yellow robe is located, and there are boats there to cross the river. However, if the two of you want to cross the river earlier, you have to set off quickly, otherwise, those who want to cross the river will go over there for a while, but they are afraid that there will be too many people, this ......"

"Okay, got it!" Dugu Jian interrupted him, "Xiao Er, you go and prepare some dry food for us now." The little two hurriedly responded and ran out. Dugu Jian turned around and said to Zhang Linxin: "Lin'er, what the shopkeeper said is good, we have to hurry up and rush over, otherwise there will be many people, and we will have to wait for a long time if we want to cross the river." Zhang Linxin nodded, "Well, then let's quickly clean up, let's go." ”

The two packed up, returned the room, took over a bag of buns bought by the shopkeeper, and took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet bright, got on the horse and galloped towards Chen Qiaoyi in the east!

An hour later, the sky was completely bright, and the two of them also came to the ferry near Chenqiaoyi, where many people had gathered and were waiting to cross the river.

Most of these people were passing traders and travelers, all carrying a lot of luggage and parcels, and were boarding the ship. Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin got off their horses, and immediately a man with a big round face greeted him, and asked with a smile: "The two guest officers are going to cross the river?" I have a boat here, and the two of them, together with the horses, have a total of five taels of silver, how about it?"

Before Jian Xin could answer, another captain on the side shouted loudly: "Chen Lao Er, you kid still want to be shameless, two people and two horses dare to ask for five taels of silver! You lion opened his mouth and wanted to kill people! Guest officer, don't listen to Chen Lao Er's nonsense, I'll drive you over, one or two silver!"

Although he knew that this person's asking price was still much higher, but it was not too expensive to hire him for two people and two horses, so Dugu Jian smiled and nodded and agreed. Who knew that Chen Lao Er scolded at the captain: "Damn surnamed Zhou, you don't care how much Lao Tzu wants! Dare to rob me of my wealth! You look good today! You wait for me!"

He turned his head and pointed at Dugu Jian and shouted: "Boy, tell you, five taels of silver, you have to give it if you sit today, and you have to give it if you don't sit! Otherwise, don't think about crossing the river!" Dugu Jian looked at the finger he was pointing at himself, and said with a smile: "Is it?" I saw him shake his body, grabbed his finger and swiped it back, and pressed his right arm on his back.

Dugu Jian shouted: "People like you, bullying and dominating the market, in the fish and meat township, if you don't teach you a lesson, you really think that you have a lot of energy!"

In fact, Dugu Jian also knew that for a person like this, a small punishment would not have much effect, but it was impossible for him to kill him because of this. He let go of his hand and shouted, "Get out!" Chen Lao Er ran away with a smoke as if he was amnesty. (To be continued.) )
