Chapter 110 Secret Contest
At night, waves surging and the sound of water being broken are mixed together. Three giants are moving on the water surface, and candles are vaguely seen coming and going on the boat, but there is no unnecessary excitement. This is one of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canals, carrying the transportation of large ships from north to south. During the day, boats of all sizes come and go on this river. At night, most boat owners dock to rest, and the water surface is empty. Occasionally, if a boat comes over, he will immediately avoid the three tower ships.
It was late at night, and in addition to the soapy clothes that were on the night, the sound of walking gradually stopped. A hawk-winged crown was picked off, and a hairpin was pulled out. A soft silver thread slid down like a waterfall, and a shawl was shawl. On the bed, the silly girl tossed and kicked off the bedding, and said in a confused way in her dream.
Bai Muqiu smiled and gently covered her with a quilt, then left the cabin door. The night wind outside was rustling. When he stood on the head of the side, his silver hair and robe swayed and flew with the oncoming wind.
"How is the message?"
Under the lantern behind him, Cao Shaoqing stood there. His eyes were sharp, as if he was full of murderous intent on what was going to happen in the future. "There is no news from Yu Qianhu yet, maybe it is already halfway. It's just..."
"Just what?" Bai Muqiu looked at him sideways.
Although Cao Shaoqing had no expression on his face, there was still a little doubt in his eyes. "What I am puzzled by is why the ten god wind cannons were transported to Hangzhou. No major happening here seems to have happened."
With a swing of his cuff, Bai Muqiu turned around and walked back. When his clothes flew around, he was standing side by side with Cao Shaoqing, his voice was cold and reached the other party's ears, "Look more and say less, do what the governor said, don't think about questioning."
"Yes." Cao Shaoqing lowered his head and responded.
Then, Bai Muqiu said: "After docking in Hangzhou, don't make any noise after transporting it into the city. Find a place to settle it first. Then, I went to Qingluan Valley with my governor to find someone named Yu Chongzhi. He has a folk remedy in his hand, and our family is very interested."
"How to deal with the green forest in Nanping? Please give me some advice."
"They are just baits, and they have been used by someone..." Bai Muqiu held the ship railing and looked at the dark water surface. "I also released Gao Juannian and his few baits to see who can't hold on first."
His eyes were cold, and suddenly a torch ran along the river bank at the other end of his sight, shaking it signaled to the sway. Then a large boat in the middle dropped a small boat, rowed to the shore, took something from the man's hand, and then came to this side and handed over it.
When the rice paper was taken apart and handed it to Bai Muqiu's hand, he just took a look and threw it into the wind. Cao Shaoqing clamped the floating paper with two fingers, looked at the contents on it carefully, and his face was solemn, "As the governor said, our spy has been cleaned up, and his style is very similar to our Dongchang."
"That woman is so stupid-"
Bai Muqiu sneered and turned back into the cabin.
The paper that recorded the news was blown away by the wind and fell into the river. On the other end of Cao Shaoqing's vision, it seemed as if the strong wind in the sky was sweeping black clouds, sweeping towards this side.
It was like a rainstorm was coming... and the huge boat was still shattering and waving.
………
In the small county of Nanping where the rain was clear, Su Wanling quietly opened the door alone. Before she could sneak out, she was caught by her second senior brother Qin Mian, but then the two went out together.
The morning after the rain, the water on the ground had not yet dried and the road was muddy. The two of them were wandering on the street. The people in the world who met were solemn, and they felt that there was a hidden Xiaosha in the entire county town. Everyone looked hurried. Occasionally, they met one or two people who could talk to each other, and they left after a few words.
The two had breakfast on the street, but heard some news. Last night, many corpses were found everywhere in the county town, mostly of heroes who came to help the boxing. In other words, from occasionally two or three corpses, they gradually began to evolve into dozens of people being killed on the same night.
The atmosphere in the county suddenly became tense.
After the two of them were about to go home and told Li Wenshu the news. On the way, they saw a group of people around the street. The atmosphere was quite lively, and many people applauded and even laughed. In contrast to other places in the county, Su Wanling and Qin Mian were naturally curious. They stepped forward and took a look with their toes. It turned out that there was a craftsman in the martial arts world playing acrobatics. The man was very handsome and well-proportioned. Compared with the group of heroes in front of them, they were more elegant and friendly.
At first glance, Su Wanling had some affection for this juggler. When she saw the exciting part, she couldn't help but shouted to the crowd. Then she turned to Qin Mian and said, "Senior Brother, I see that the second senior brother and Mr. Luo are frowning all day long. Why not bring this person back and let them change their mood."
"It's probably not good to take a stranger back." Qin Mian shook his head and refused, and even saw the juggling young man a little angry.
Seeing that he was rejected, Su Wanling snorted and turned to continue watching. Not long after, the man was tired and sat down to rest, but he still didn't forget to have a relationship with the people around him. This man spoke very well and was good at grasping it, which made many people have a good impression of him. Some simply sat next to him and said something, saying something like "brother" or "I'll make trouble in the future, come to me."
After the crowd finally dispersed, Su Wanling walked over and called the young man who was performing arts. "You can't make much money even if you work hard here. Why not go to the same place with me, where people there are generous, which should make you a lot of money."
The young man is very handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and it makes people fall in love when he smiles. While sorting out the things he sells, he shook his head and said, "If you don't go, rich people are very stingy, they are not as good as on the street."
"You are so mean." Su Wanling advised: "Don't worry, with me here, you won't lose as much as you should."
The young man stared at her, pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Xiaoyi will go to this kind of loyalty of the girl, but wait for me to eat."
Immediately, he took out a dry cake from the dirty cloth bag and ate it with the water in the kettle. Seeing his down-and-out look, Su Wanling thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, I will take you to the restaurant over there to eat, stop eating the big cakes."
Qin Mian had already seen it, but the other party was just a performer. If he did it, he would definitely be able to defeat the other party. But he was arrogant and bullied the weak, and he was unwilling to do it. He dissuaded his junior sister several times but failed, so he had to bite the bullet and follow him and sit next to him to guard.
The young man spoke very well. Even though Qin Mian had an objection to him, he couldn't help but respond to him after being flattered. At the dinner table, the young man named Xiaoyi kept walking in an atmosphere, telling the jokes about what is easy to play in the north, making the brother and sister laugh.
While the conversation was in full swing, Qin Mian unknowingly used what happened yesterday and even today as topics of conversation, so as not to lose all his words, which was quite embarrassing.
As time approached noon, there were more and more people coming and going on the streets, crowds of people were crowded, and three burly and majestic people were squeezing inside, a big monk, a hair-dressed man and a thick, short and exposed breasts. The three of them happened to see the restaurant here and came over together.
As soon as the three of them entered the store, their eyes slightly changed, and their faces froze. At the table in the middle of their eyes, the young man facing away from them might have noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere in the air, raised his head suddenly, and then smiled and said to Su Wanling and the other two: "Xiao Yi has to take a step in advance and perform at the mansion another day."
Then, without waiting for the two of them to react, they pulled away and jumped gently from the wooden railing and jumped onto the street. Qin Mian opened his mouth slightly, thinking that why this person ran away after dinner, and the people in the north were not reliable. Suddenly, at the entrance of the store, the three people rushed to the street and broke the crowd.
I don’t know who among them shouted, “Yan Xiaoyi, I’ll kill you—”
The Zen staff, two swords, and axe were raised, and they killed them according to the figure that ran out.
