Section 8 Huaihe Jinkou

In the western corner, the breeze is rippling, and there are white clouds floating in the blue sky; the hard soil and red slopes, the scattered poplar shallow trunks are swaying in the wind, and the sound of the wind "whirring" enters the ears, and the wind is actually rising, and it seems that the sky is about to change.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and there were a few clouds of smoke in the distance.

Everyone hurried to the Huai River ferry, the spacious river surface rippled with microwaves, clear ripples, shining silver light, the dry grass on both sides of the river was dotted, extremely desolate, and extremely empty at a glance. A burst of river water and the smell of the surname rushed to his face, and he didn't feel a shiver.

Ren Tianqi immediately exhaled deeply, so fresh, this freshness is mixed with the muddy smell of his hometown, so familiar, the opposite is Yangzhou.

There are really a lot of pedestrians who want to cross the river, three or two by two, or single, or three or five together, taking a small caravan boat to the opposite Yangzhou boundary.

Although the mouth of the river here is not very wide, it is about 40 zhang, and there are several small boats shuttling back and forth.

But the people were not happy for a while, for the boats were too small for a single man to pass on a single horse, but like a carriage, especially the seven-spiced BMW in which the lord of the county rode, it was several feet long and wide, and very large and heavy, and could not be contained in any way.

Crossing the Huai River is Yangzhou, which is the homeland that has left for seven years. Ren Tianqi's heart has already flown back to Renjiabao, reminiscing about that long but not very happy childhood.

After months of long-distance travel, everyone was tired of getting up early and staying overnight, and the impermanence of food and lodging, they all wanted to fly to Renjiabao to see the two old relatives who were pregnant with Ren Tianqi, a wonderful martial arts man.

But it is such a big river in front of us that makes everyone embarrassed: the car that the county lord rides is the car used by the princess of Zhengnan, which is not only luxurious and exquisite, but also valuable, and must not be discarded; This riverside ferry is deserted and desolate, and it is difficult for big ships to dock. Ren Tianqi has the seven doors of Lin'an Mansion token, and the empty horse for the Dajin Kingdom to conquer the South Wangfu is called every day, and the earth is not spiritual;

Everyone got off their horses and rested, thinking about whether to send someone to ask the local beggars to help them rent a merchant ship or a big boat to cross the river, and they were also trying to ask Gong Ming and the housekeeper Ren Mingquan to inquire.

Everyone suddenly found a few horses standing quietly ten feet away beside them, very surprised, not vigilant, busy guarding the horses and vehicles.

Ren Tianqi looked at the other party carefully.

There are five people on the other side, all wearing purple cotton robes, black velvet hats, red cloaks, and official boots, and everyone has a blade hanging in front of their horses.

Ren Tianqi frowned: What kind of people are these, I'm afraid it's not a good thing today, Fang met a robber who opened the killing ring, and now he encounters this gang of people, how can he see that he is not an idle person, how can he see that he is not an idle person, how can he get home but the more things happen, the worse the world, no wonder Song Ting is weak. Looking at the richly dressed people, it can be seen that they are rich; they are hesitant to move forward, because they are in the way of seeking something from each other, or because they have other plans; or are they waiting for the opportunity to see that we are too well prepared to start, but they do not give up, or are they waiting for the opportunity? But look at these people in front of them are quite formidable but they do not look like gangsters, if they are not gangsters, then who are they? Are they the officers and soldiers? When the officers and soldiers see our dress, they will be greatly disadvantaged.

A little red Wen Tingyu urged the horse to step forward, holding a fan and immediately hugging his fist at the other party, and laughed: "A few heroes are invited." I wonder if you can help you in this way? Could it be that you are in some difficulty, and I wonder if you can help you a little at the lower level?"

The other party is about forty years old, with two black beards, thick eyebrows and tiger forehead, and a dignified face of a person who hugged his fists in return, and laughed loudly: "This hero is invited, it's really polite, Brother Tai is really warm-hearted, and it is rare in this life." We are just passers-by, crossing the river in these boats. In the next day, I saw that Your Excellency and other people were dressed brightly, dressed like the northern Jurchens, looking at the carriages and horses dressed gorgeously, either expensive or rich, not the royal family and nobles of the Dajin Kingdom, that is, the giants in the north who were rich, it seemed that you also wanted to cross the river, how could you see that there was no boat to answer, but waiting in this deserted place, it was very strange, and I didn't know in my heart. ”

Ren Tianqi sneered in his heart: It was really unpleasant to meet an official errand. The Qixiang treasure car is so conspicuous, I'm afraid it's going to be in trouble.

When Wen Tingyu heard this, Yu immediately smiled and said: "The hero is really as wise as a torch, he is so thoughtful, he must be the official of the Southern Dynasty?"

A little red is well-informed, and he is used to being straightforward, daring to hate and love, and has never put the world in his eyes.

The man smiled: "This master is joking." There are more places to walk below, and there is a little bit of knowledge, and people who walk outside love to inquire and speculate, and guess randomly, is it not to frighten you?"

Wen Tingyu put away the fan, looked up to the sky, and replied: "Laughing with the hero, we are Han people, but we can do business in the capital of Jinguo, so we often make northerner clothes to follow the customs." Now we are about to go back to our hometown to save relatives, who expected that on the way my master was unwell, not walking, not visible wind, so I took a car. We are indeed worried about finding a boat to cross the river, and now that the twilight is heavy, we are suffering from being unable to find it. If a hero has a clever plan, he will not hesitate to tell him. "A little red on horseback, and saluting.

The man pointed to the seven-spice treasure car and said with a smile: "Isn't this the world-famous seven-spice treasure car?"

A little red nodded, opened the fan, shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "Oh, Brother Tai is omniscient, admire and admire." Indeed, this is the seven-spice treasure car. ”

The man nodded, looked up and smiled: "Brother Tai's business is so big!"

A little red smiled and said, "That's." ”

The man turned his head sharply and said with a smile: "Where is your mansion, can you tell me a little bit?"

A thick eyebrow lowered, his eyes were staring at a little red, and the smile on his face was stiff, and he smiled reluctantly.

"Yangzhou Guangling. "A little red.

Guangling is a good place, with outstanding people and heroes. When the black-bearded man heard this, his eyes shone brightly, and he leaned back on his horse, and slowly said with his hand on his beard.

"Where, where, thanks to the compliment. Guangling is just a small place, located in a remote area, how can there be a famous master. It seems that this hero is quite familiar with Guangling, he must have been to Guangling or is also a person from Guangling?"

"Yes, I was there a few years ago. Guangling produces peanuts, ginkgo, hemp ball, the world is famous; Guangling Renjiabao three masters, famous all over the world. The black-bearded man looked at the sky, his eyes were deep, and he looked back on his face with a burst of excitement, but it was also clouded, and a trace of sadness arose.

All this can't escape a little red eye.

"That is, Ren Shuangzhai benefits the local area, everyone in the rivers and lakes praises; the master of the big village has a spotted bamboo sword famous in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, known as the Guangling sword, and the Cangzhou green snake sword Fu Xue is not the same as the military department, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called the north and south double swords. Presumably, the hero and the three heroes of the Ren family are not related?"

The black-bearded man turned his head and glanced left and right, pulled the saddle and dismounted, and smiled at everyone: "Since you are comrades, you brothers don't have to worry. We also want to cross the river today, and we also have two big carts that need to be ferried by big boats. Fortunately, I know that there is water here twenty miles up the river, and there is water to help a large boat to be idle. Someone has already gone to please. Brother Tai will invite him to cross the river at that time. ”

Ren Tianqi looked up and saw that there was no vehicle behind him, and when he heard the word "comrade", he was stunned, who is this person with, uncle and father were both officials in the imperial court, could it be my old friend of Ren Jiabao's previous generation, and a warm current surged in his heart, and his eyes were moist.

Wen Tingyu hurriedly left the saddle and dismounted when he heard this, stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Tai for your kindness." As soon as he turned around, Zhao Dongxue said: "Dongxue, go and get some fruit water, and pay for a few brothers." ”

Ren Tianqi turned around and whispered, "Give the second master another hundred taels of silver." ”

Winter Snow did so, and sent fruit water and silver.

The five of them dismounted, took the fruit water and silver, thanked them, and looked for a flat place by the river to eat and drink, but their eyes still drifted to and fro from time to time.

The black-bearded man stopped talking every time, and a pair of tiger eyes couldn't stop looking everyone up and down.

As night fell, the big ship really came, but it was a naval officer ship. Seeing that this person must be an official of the imperial court, everyone is even more vigilant.

The five black-bearded people, together with seven or eight others who came later, took two cowhide covered carts and got on the boat first, and the black-bearded ones asked Ren Tianqi and others to catch the car and lead the horses onto the boat. Boarding the boat, everyone surrounded the carriage, and Liuhu Yong was optimistic about the horses and secretly raised his vigilance.

Wen Tingyu and Ren Tianqi accompanied the black-bearded man to stand on the bow of the boat and chat.

The black-bearded man put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "It must be not easy for a few people to do business outside, and when they meet for the first time, why waste the silver taels so much." Helping others is just a gesture, not to mention the old people, but they are only chance encounters with them, and not colleagues still want to see them. ”

The person he refers to is a companion together, and there is a trace of dissatisfaction and guilt in his tone.

A little red didn't know what the old man meant, and said with a dry smile: "The hero has seen the outside, such as our self-employed boats, not to mention the payment of silver, there are still many things to delay, and I don't know when we will be delayed to cross the river." This point of mind is not a respect. ”

The black-bearded man sighed and said, "The court is indisputable, and the people's customs are not good, how can we talk about the ancient style?"

Seeing that when it comes to today's world politics, especially his unsatisfactory intentions as officials, Ren Wen and the others are even more taboo in their hearts, and they do not answer, and smile slightly.

The black-bearded man turned around suddenly, his eyes staring at a little red, and he smiled at a little red: "Brother Tai is a person with a special skill. Thousands of miles from the capital of the Jin Kingdom to Guangling, there are many strong people and bandits along the way, but you and others are gorgeously dressed, the vehicles are exquisite, and they are all public, and they can be safe and sound, and they are by no means idle people. Seeing that Brother Tai is holding a fan safely, he must be a master of the acupoint. I don't know if my brother's surname can be taught?"

"Under the surname Wen Ming Tingyu. "A little red has always been a clear and flamboyant surname, alone, acting only in his heart, never caring about other people's eyes, and busy replying.

"Oh, the thousand-handed scholar is a little red, Wen Daxia, he has admired his name for a long time, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. The black-bearded man was startled, raised his head and looked at Wen Tingyu carefully, hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile.

Wen Tingyu bowed in return and said with a smile: "The villain's little bandit name is actually worried about the adult, the villain is really flattered, how dare he not ask the adult for advice, I don't know what the adult's name is?"

"In Shizi Mountain, friends in the rivers and lakes laughed and called the flying magic pen. The man looked back at the few people behind him and chuckled.

"Ah, you are a generation of acupoint masters flying magic pen, fortunately I will be lucky, I can see it today, Wen is very honored. Wen Tingyu was shocked and laughed in a low voice.

Shizishan, a pair of judges' pens hidden, no one knows where to hide, a pair of Shaolin fire dragon palms are very good;

Shizishan, as the commander of Zhenjiang Sima Capital, has a good reputation. Now that the official army is crossing the river, there must be a major event, and it is no wonder that it can easily transfer the official and military ships, and it must have been prepared for any trouble. Ren Tianqi still didn't say a word, and watched coldly from the side.

Wen Tingyu bowed again.

Shi Zishan hurriedly clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Wen Daxia is polite." In this way, Wen Daxia has traveled thousands of miles this time, and he has worked tirelessly, and he must have a sword to obtain. ”

Who in the world doesn't know what a little red likes, and they all want to joke when they meet. Everyone in the world knows that a little red has three things in his life: sword, red face, and treasure jade.

A little red was about to speak, and he felt a force pressing on his waist, and he was shocked, and he hurriedly looked up at Shizi Mountain. But he saw that Shi Zishan was smiling and showing goodwill, and then he was at ease.

Wen Tingyu understood that Shi Zishan had heard his name for a long time, and he was also an expert in acupoints, so he thought about the opportunity to learn, this is the surname of people who practice martial arts all over the world, which is beyond reproach. Moreover, the rivers and lakes have always said that Shizishan is a decent person, and he will not be competitive and want to be in the limelight, so he wants to explore his kung fu skills, but it is inconvenient for everyone to openly call for battle, or maybe there is no 100% certainty of victory, so he can only take this opportunity to explore.

Wen Tingyu understood, his body shape remained unchanged, he inhaled slightly, pressed down on his elbows, and applied a thousand catties of pressure, exerting seven successes.

Shi Zishan Fang made five successes, saw a force back pressure down, and was busy lifting up to nine successes, and was worried that Wen Tingyu would not be able to bear it and would be overturned to the ground, so he was busy retracting and unloading it violently, reaching out to perform the Shaolin wrong tendon and bone splitting technique, grabbing Wen Tingyu's elbow with both hands like a hook, and the middle finger of the index finger probed the numb point in the crook of the arm.

Wen Tingyu saw that the pressure was completely gone, and he was about to resist with all his strength, and he almost stumbled and fell down, and saw that Shizishan broke up and grabbed it, and hurriedly shook his shoulders sideways, and his hands were divided into a white lotus flower, and the internal force was raised to ninety percent, and the pressure of Shizishan was dissolved;

Both of them are famous experts in acupoints, and their shots are extremely fast and accurate.

Shi Zishan's posture remained unchanged, his arms vibrated slightly, and the two black and shiny judge's laptops flashed out to cover his wrists, and the pen rushed down again, shooting directly at Wen Tingyu's legs and knees.

Wen Tingyu saw that his hands were close to his knees, his hands were rapidly probed, his right hand was opened to protect him, and his left hand was probed and fished up, and he finally took a step slowly, and his face was blushing.

Shi Zishan raised his fingers and raised his hand, bounced back the pen with his fingertips, and hurriedly reached out to help him.

A little red saw that Shi Zishan was accepting each other, and he also accepted his hand, and said with a smile: "Where, where, Lord Shi made fun of it." ”

The two of them made very fast moves, except for Ren Tianqi, others didn't notice it.

Shi Zishan smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Shi Mou's sneak attack is not a victory." Wen Daxia and the others have passed through the ileal slope today?" Shi Zishan still smiled.

"It's passed, what's wrong?" Wen Tingyu said with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, there are more than 100 dead bodies on the ileal slope, which are unbearable to see, and it happened not long before the lower reaches of the ileal slope. So many people died, but there was no trace of the two armies fighting at the scene. What kind of person is so bold and spicy, even Lei Zhen has been split in half. Shi Zishan sighed, turned his head and looked at Gong Ming and the others, his face was confused, and he stopped talking.

Ren Wen and the others pretended to be puzzled and did not talk.

The night is thick, the bright moon rises in the east, reflecting in the water, it is already crooked and difficult to see the whole picture, and it is rippling with the waves. The water above the river was steamy, there were bursts of cold, and occasionally one or two alarming noises were actually the sound of the boat startling the wild ducks that had been sleeping all night, and several black shadows went straight into the night from the side, and disappeared into the night.

The two groups of people on the boat faced each other and were silent.

Shi Zishan was ordered to take people across the Huai River this time, and went to the north to receive the righteous items and silver taels collected by chivalrous and righteous people from all over the country. However, when he arrived in Sizhou, he saw that Fengxue Temple had been emptied, and his heart was already unhappy; Lei Qiang made an appointment to meet by the river today, but he was exterminated. The old people have suffered misfortune, the enemy is not known but not known, the heart is very aggrieved and sighing, half of the great mountains and rivers have fallen into the hands of the golden dog, the court lives in peace, does not think of recovery, but repeatedly hunts and kills the benevolent and righteous. The group of people in front of them is indeed not a person who buys and sells, but there are so many gold treasures hidden around them, as well as the world-famous seven-spice treasure car, which is very eye-catching. But I followed along the way, and after secretly checking for three or four days, I didn't see any suspicions, so it was difficult to say that these people were people who were upright and kept to themselves. After all, Qianshoushu was not a decent person in martial arts after his life, and his actions have always been despised by chivalrous righteousness; this group of people is so blatant, and they can be accompanied by such a master as a little red, and they have a seven-spice treasure car, which must not be underestimated, but in the end, why is Fang Gaoren? Is it related to the Jurchens? Listening to his words, it is very similar to the old man, it is inconvenient to act recklessly and produce misunderstandings, and where is the old man now, and how is he living?

The breeze blew, my chest was stuffy, my yin hurt, and I coughed unconsciously.

Everyone heard the sound and went to see Shizi Mountain.

Shi Zishan looked at the Huai River in the night, and whispered: "

The bright moon shines on the autumn for thousands of years, and how can we know that the north and the south have been different. ”

Everyone was silent.

Ren Tianqi was adjacent to each other with the same illness, and he felt pity for the people in the world, sighed unconsciously, and continued: "

The Qin and Han dynasties are bright and bright, and they don't know that the country is broken. Qingzuka is more wild, how can the general do anything?"

Shi Zishan was shocked, hurriedly turned around and saluted Ren Tianqi, and said with a smile: "Strange Shi is slow, but I forgot to call this little brother by his name." The little brother is so talented in both civil and military affairs, but Shi Mou's eyes are arrogant and have no beads. Presumably, the little brother has also been an official and a half-official in the imperial court, otherwise why would there be so much resentment in his heart?"

Ren Tianqi hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "Lord Shi has such great eyesight, Ren Tianqi in Renjiabao in Xia Guangling." ”

Ren Tianqi glanced at the others, and said softly: "The younger generation has studied under Lord Lin Mushan Lin, and has been a person in the Seven Doors for a few years, and the three heroes of Guangling are the family respecters. ”

When Shi Zishan heard this, his eyes were surprised, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Ren Tianqi, his shoulders trembled slightly, he wanted to speak and stopped, turned his head to look at the people who came with him, sighed secretly, helped Ren Tianqi up, patted Ren Tianqi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good, good, good, good, good." "Say no more.

The boat arrived on the south bank, and went to the east and west, and before leaving, Shi Zishan held a little red hand and repeatedly said that if there was a chance, the two would definitely let go and learn from each other. He took Tianqi's hand again, choked before speaking, smiled and turned his head away.

Silence is better than sound, Ren Tianqi is also a sour nose, although he doesn't know which elder in the family Shizishan has a relationship, but this is the first time in several years to see the old man of the Ren family, see the tears that fell because of friendship. There are no words, but everything is worth a thousand words. Ren Tianqi bit his lip tightly to prevent the tears in his eyes from seeping out, looked up at the moonlit sky, let the night breeze dry the tears, looked back and looked into the distance, looking at the back of the distant stone mountain, and couldn't bear to leave for a long time.
