Chapter 9 Sigh Mo Chou to Yangzhou
The boat sailed away from the shore of the wharf, reached the middle of the river, raised its sails, and headed for Yangzhou.
The atmosphere in the cabin was rather dreary and awkward, and everyone sat silently, and no one spoke. Yin Zhiping sat facing Li Mochou, simply closing his eyes and recuperating, out of sight.
After being dull for a while, Li Mochou took the lead in breaking the calm, and asked with a gentle smile: "Zhiping, what are you going to Yangzhou for?"
Yin Zhiping opened his eyes when he heard this, and after a pause, he still replied: "We went to Yangzhou to report a message to Zhang Yibi, the wheel king of the Ming Sect, and someone wants to be unfavorable to him, so let him take precautions in advance." ”
After that, he pointed to Zhang Yixin and said: "This Zhang Yixin girl is Zhang Yibi's cousin, that is, she got the news that someone wants to be unfavorable to Zhang Yibi." You also know that I have a friendship with Zhang Yibi, and he also gave me this silver dragon sword. He is in trouble now, so I naturally want to help him. ”
Li Mochou turned his head to look at Zhang Yixin and said, "It turned out to be Sister Zhang, it seems that I misunderstood you." ”
Zhang Yixin snorted and ignored her.
Li Mochou was still not angry, turned to look at Yin Zhiping, and smiled at him.
Since Li Mochou broke the silence when he opened his mouth, Yin Zhiping hesitated and said, "I heard what you did in Wujiang yesterday. ”
Li Mochou smiled happily when he heard this: "You heard about it, that's great, and it's not in vain that I specially told them my name." What do you think, are you very angry but you can't do anything about me. I didn't offend your warning, they are more than innocent!"
The two of them spoke, Zhang Yixin and Shoujing were beside them, and they couldn't help but listen attentively. But I was confused. I couldn't understand what they were talking about, and I felt even more strange about the current relationship between the two.
Yin Zhiping couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Those people don't matter if they're ruffians or bullies. But after all, it was more than a dozen lives, and I heard that he died a very miserable death, and he died of torture. But now Li Mochou is understatement and very happy. And she deliberately left her name after killing those people, as if she wanted him to demonstrate with him.
Yin Zhiping sighed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say. For Li Mochou's current mentality, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart. Although Li Mochou's emotional injury was not caused by him, this breakup undoubtedly aggravated Li Mochou's damage. It made her mentally more distorted.
Li Mochou smiled: "Why don't you speak?"
Yin Zhiping sighed: "I have always felt that you are very smart, but you can't always see what you are doing in this matter?"
"Because I'm stupid too, I've been deceived again and again by you stinky men. Li Mochou still had a smile on his face and asked, "Do you think I'm ridiculous?"
Yin Zhiping shook his head and said, "No, I think you are very pitiful." ”
Li Mochou asked, "Then why don't you love me well, but want to hurt me again and again?"
Yin Zhiping sighed: "I have already said what I should say yesterday. After saying that, he turned his head to look outside the cabin, and seemed to be a little afraid to face Li Mochou again.
Li Mochou opened his mouth to say something, but glanced at Zhang Yixin and Shoujing next to him. But he kept his mouth shut. After a few moments, she closed her eyes and recuperated, and said no more.
Zhang Yiming, the holy son of the Ming Sect, had already rushed to the Central Plains with Yan Xiangtian, the king of Yama, Yu Guan, the left envoy of Guangming, and the poisonous Weng Gu Cangbai. They don't know where they are now, but they may find Zhang Yibi at any time to besiege him.
Zhang Yibi didn't know that Zhang Yiming had the intention to kill him. If Zhang Yiming and others find Zhang Yibi and make a sudden move, it is likely that the four of them will be able to kill Zhang Yibi with one face. So now Zhang Yibi's life. It can be said that the stakes are at stake.
Yin Zhiping and others wanted to rush to Yangzhou to report to Zhang Yibi, and after setting sail, they did not stop all the way. Don't dare to delay a little. At lunchtime, they sailed across Jiangyin. I didn't stop to eat on the shore, but just bought some food from the boat's family and ate it simply.
However, although Yin Zhiping also showed anxiety from time to time with Zhang Yixin. But he is quite confident in his heart that Zhang Yibi should be able to save the day this time and will not encounter any accidents. Because in the original book, Zhang Yibi still appeared when Guo Xiang grew up on his sixteenth birthday.
He only met Zhang Yibi on the Yueyang Tower more than four years ago, and he didn't have much of a deep talk that time. The two hadn't seen each other since, and they hadn't crossed paths much at all. Therefore, he, a traverser, can be said to have made no changes to the storyline of Zhang Yibi's original book at all. Therefore, without him making trouble, according to the inertia of the development of the storyline, Zhang Yibi will naturally not have any accidents, and he will live at least sixteen years later.
It's just that these words, he is inconvenient to say to Zhang Yixin. Therefore, this road is still in a hurry.
However, it only takes one day to get from Suzhou to Yangzhou at the earliest, and that's only in the best case. But the actual travel is not always smooth. What's more, from Suzhou to Yangzhou, this road is against the current. Especially after walking out of the Jiangnan Canal and turning into the Yangtze River waterway, the water potential of the Yangtze River is greater, so they can go against the water more slowly.
When it was dark and night, they finally failed to reach Yangzhou, but only rushed to a town thirty or forty miles outside Yangzhou. After dark, you can't sail at will, lest you lose sight of the road and get lost, or crash into a reef.
Zhang Yixin was very anxious, and couldn't wait even one night, so he proposed to abandon the ship and go ashore and rush to Yangzhou overnight. The journey of thirty or forty miles, with the strength of their feet, could have reached in an hour at most. It's just that Shoujing's martial arts in his early years were abolished, but he became an ordinary person, and he couldn't perform light skills anymore. Therefore, it is not suitable to rush with light work, and it is impossible for them to leave Shoujing on the road, because after arriving in Yangzhou, they still need to go to the Mingjiao contact point in Yangzhou to inquire about the situation and ask where Zhang Yibi is.
Therefore, the result of the final discussion was that after going ashore, he bought four mules and horses in the town for a large amount of money and rushed to Yangzhou. It's just that it has always been said that "the south ship and the north horse", the southern water network is dense, and the travel has always been by boat. And the geography, climate and other reasons in the south are not suitable for raising horses, so there are no good horses, not to mention that it is still a small town, and it is only barely made up of four mules and horses that can travel, but the saddle is not complete.
You must know that they are used for driving and plowing the land, but where there are people to ride, there is naturally no saddle for riding. Fortunately, in addition to Shoujing, the three of them are all martial arts, athletic, and can ride on horseback without a saddle, and they also make up a full pair for Shoujing.
But this kind of mule and horse, used for transportation, is not much faster. Although they worked hard all the way, it still took more than an hour to get to the city of Yangzhou. But at this time, it was already dark, and the gate of Yangzhou was already locked and closed.
However, Yin Zhiping and the three of them have martial arts, but it is not difficult for them. Yin Zhiping performed the "gecko swimming wall skill" to climb the city, and then hung the three people into it with ropes. They also expected that when they arrived at Yangzhou City, they were afraid that the city gate would have been closed, so they made preparations in advance, and bought a roll of rope when they bought a horse in that town.
It was about nine o'clock in the evening. However, Yangzhou is a prosperous place, and the nightlife is much richer than that of some small towns. At this point in time, many streets are still brightly lit, and businesses such as restaurants, restaurants, and brothels are not closed, but many places are bustling with activity.
The four of them entered the city, and under the guidance of Shoujing, they found a contact point of Mingjiao in Yangzhou, and he went to inquire about the news. In order to avoid suspicion among the Mingjiao people in the contact point, Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou hid aside and waited, and did not go in. Even Zhang Yixin, the Holy Maiden of the Ming Sect, was able to find out Zhang Yibi's whereabouts as soon as possible in order to keep quiet, but she didn't follow up and waited outside.
This kind of place, naturally acquaintances will not be suspicious, and suddenly enter a living person, even if Zhang Yixin is a saint of Mingjiao, the people in the chat point will also be suspicious. Zhang Yixin had already left the Central Plains for many years, and he didn't interfere in any specific affairs in the sect, so these ordinary Ming Sect members left in the Central Plains didn't know any saints.
Shoujing went in for about half an hour, and then walked out. Zhang Yixin was the most anxious, so he jumped out of hiding place first and asked Shoujing, "Shoujing Daoist, how is it, can you find out where my cousin is in the city now?"
Shou Jing said with a wry smile when he heard this: "I have inquired clearly, but the Wheel King is holding a banquet in the Piaoxiang Pavilion tonight, and he will have a literary meeting with a group of literati from Yangzhou to meet friends with literature." ”
Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou had also walked out of the hiding place at this time, Yin Zhiping heard this, and remembered that when he met Zhang Yibi in Yueyang Tower more than four years ago, Zhang Yibi was also drinking and reciting poetry with a scribe surnamed Liu who did not know martial arts at all. When he first looked at Zhang Yibi, he looked away, but he didn't see that Zhang Yibi was also a martial artist, so he thought he was also an ordinary scribe. At this time, I heard that Zhang Yibi was meeting with a group of scribes, and couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: "This Mingjiao's wheel king is really better at writing than being good at martial arts, and he loves to intersect with literati and scholars so much, he should go to the top exam." ”
"Where is Piaoxiang Pavilion, let's go quickly!" Zhang Yixin heard this and hurriedly said.
The wry smile on Shoujing's face was even worse, and there was a little embarrassment, "Holy Maiden, it's inconvenient for us to go to the Floating Fragrance Pavilion." ”
Zhang Yixin was puzzled when he heard this: "Why is it inconvenient to go? Since you know where he is, you have to hurry over and tell him what happened, so that he can take precautions, what else is inconvenient at this time?"
Shou Jing said helplessly: "Holy Maiden, that Piaoxiang Pavilion is the most famous green building in Yangzhou City. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Yixin couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this, his face turned red, and then he looked at the four of them, a little stunned. Two of the four of them are women, and two are Taoist priests, so they blatantly went into the Qinglou.
Yin Zhiping laughed at himself and volunteered: "I'll go, anyway, I'm not a Taoist priest who abides by the rules." I haven't been to places like Qinglou Chu Pavilion yet, but I just happened to go to see it. ”
Li Mochou snorted when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "You also know what kind of character you are!"
Yin Zhiping smiled slightly awkwardly and did not argue.
But Zhang Yixin didn't despise it again this time, after all, Yin Zhiping went into the Qinglou to find Zhang Yibi for her, and after a pause, he thanked him. (To be continued......)
