The Weishui Canal in Jianzhou, merchant ships, on deck.
Mu Nanzhi was wearing a big cloak to keep out the cold, sitting on a big cushioned chair, holding Bai Ji in one hand, and fishing with a bamboo pole in the other.
On the left side, there is a table and two chairs. On the table, a small stove is blazing with charcoal, and a pot of fish is burning.
Xu Qi'an and Miao Youfang sat at the table, chattering and eating fish.
Bai Ji poked her head out of Mu Nanzhi's arms, staring intently with her dark eyes.
"These days it's either fish or bacon, I can't even poop out of it"
Miao Youfang cursed.
Xu Qi'an slapped him backhand, knocked him off the chair, and then waved to Bai Ji.
Bai Ji broke free from the concubine's embrace, ran to Xu Qi'an's feet with four cheerful short legs, and looked at him with her head raised.
Xu Qi'an picked up Bai Ji, put a piece of soft and tender fish belly on the bowl, Bai Ji buried her face in the bowl, and began to eat in small bites.
"You're making rapid progress. I estimate that after another month of training, you'll be able to step into the fifth-grade strength. At that time, as long as you don't kill yourself and provoke top people, you can go anywhere."
Xu Qi'an took a sip of the dirty wine, feeling a little relieved.
?They went south on this trip, heading for the 100,000 Mountains in southern Xinjiang.
There are currently only three people in the small team, and a fox.
Among the members of the Tiandihui, Li Miao is a true chivalrous man, who likes to act chivalrously. During the turbulent disaster, the people everywhere are in dire straits, and always want to do something, so it is difficult to stay by Xu Qi'an's side peacefully.
? Chu Yuanzhen is an unrestrained swordsman. He lives in all over the world and has no fixed place. What he yearns for is the freedom to do whatever he wants.
On the way of traveling in Jianghu, it is his happiest thing to reunite with old friends, have a drink, and rejoice in grievances. When the wine is finished and things are settled, he will embark on a journey again to pursue his way of swordsmanship.
? Master Hengyuan and the saint have the same mentality. The monks are compassionate, and they are duty-bound to help the world and save people.
As for why Li Lingsu didn't go south with him
On that day, when everyone woke up early in the morning, the Holy Son had already left.
?Leave a letter to the members of the Tiandihui, which means that I have recently experienced a breakthrough in my state of mind, and I want to go on the road alone to understand the true meaning of forgetting love.
In fact, when he left, all the members of the Tiandihui knew about it. As far as everyone's cultivation level was concerned, the movements within a radius of several miles were clear.
Xu Qi'an lay in the warm bed, and sang a farewell song to the Son in his heart:
Knowing that you were leaving that night, we didn't say a word When you put your bags on your back and unloaded that glory, I can only keep the smile in my heart
After the Holy Son left, Xu Qi'an released Dongfang Wanqing, and Chai Xing'er was still imprisoned in the pagoda of the pagoda, fed regularly, called out to wash up regularly, and Miao Youfang was regularly used as a coolie to clean the toilet.
At this time, the person in charge of the merchant ship, Steward Zhu, hurried over and said respectfully:
"Hero Miao, there is a golden water beach in front of you. The water flow is gentle, and water bandits often block the river to rob. Generally speaking, you only need to pay some money to get across."
Seeing Miao Youfang nodded, he continued:
"If there is no accident, you don't need to take action."
Miao Youfang let out a haughty "Yes", maintaining his demeanor of a "superior".
Guanshi Zhu bowed and stepped back.
This merchant ship is a merchant ship of the Jianzhou Chamber of Commerce, and it is going to do business in Yuzhou, and Miao Youfang's current identity is a new guest minister recruited by the Jianzhou Chamber of Commerce, who is responsible for the safety of the merchant ship when it goes south.
Xu Qi'an's identity has not been revealed, he is just an ordinary follower.
The merchant ship sailed for half an hour, and the water flow began to calm down. After sailing for another quarter of an hour, the speed of the ship became extremely slow.
Can only rely on the boatman at the bottom of the bilge to row the oars.
thump thump thump Manager Zhu rushed out of the cabin with a dozen warriors, holding swords and back bows, with a vigilant look.
Xu Qi'an looked towards the left bank and saw dozens of small boats coming through the waves at an extremely fast speed.
Before, they were docked well on the shore. When the merchant ship entered this gentle river, more than a hundred water bandits on the shore immediately jumped onto the boat, paddled their oars, and approached like cutting through the waves.
This is a small boat with two pointed ends. It is not too long and only three feet wide. It is light and fast.
"Here, why are there so many water bandits here?!"
Guanshi Zhu was dumbfounded, his face turned pale.
Miao Youfang glanced at him: "Not before?"
Steward Zhu collected himself, his face still ugly, and said with a wry smile:
&nbsAs soon as the water bandit approached Mu Nanzhi, he was blown away by a huge force and fell to the ground vomiting blood.
Xu Qi'an stretched out his hand to wrap his neck around the man's neck amidst the drastic change of expression of the man in black:
"Let them go down."
"Down, down, all down"
The man in black was terrified. He was in the same mood as Guanshi Zhu just now¡ªhe had encountered a hard problem.
The water bandits became agitated. They never expected that the man who killed the former leader with one move was as weak as a quail in front of this ordinary man.
Just a follower is so powerful, Miao Daxia's strength is even more terrifying than I imagined Zhu Guanshi was secretly shocked.
Along the way, Xu Qi'an regarded himself as Miao Youfang's follower.
The water bandits who swarmed in swarmed away again.
"Your Excellency hold your hand high, if you have something to discuss, today I am the one who is blind."
The man in black's tone was pleading with sincerity.
He believes that unless the other party does not want the entire ship's cargo, he will not fight him to the death.
Sometimes, water bandits like them are not afraid of masters at all, because many masters will choose to compromise due to casualties, cargo and other reasons.
There is no need to use life to do things that can be done with money.
Sure enough, Xu Qi'an didn't kill him, and asked:
"Where are you from?"
"Yuzhou!"
After some questioning and answering, Xu Qi'an knew that the man in black was called Sun Tai, a native of Yuzhou, a loose man of Jianghu, who was wanted by the Yuzhou government for committing a crime.
This made him lose the possibility of forming a gang in a certain place, because the imperial court's arrest warrants are shared between continents.
Sun Tai began to wander around the world. Although he was willing to be kind and full of money, he was still a lone wolf.
?With the beginning of winter this year, cold disasters are everywhere, and the order between the continents is looming, and no one will talk to him as a wanted criminal anymore.
Sun Tai began to recruit the refugees and the rest of the rivers and lakes, and took the water here as the king. Now he has hundreds of water bandits under his command, which is quite a good force.
According to the development of the situation, if this continues, similar bandits and water bandits will become volunteers who overthrow the imperial court, or "vassals" who rule one side, and become part of the avalanche Xu Qi'an sighed softly One sound.
"Do you want to live?" Xu Qi'an asked.
Sun Tai nodded immediately.
Xu Qi'an pointed at Miao Youfang: "Kill him, and you will live. I will not interfere."
Then he said to Miao Youfang:
"This is your first trial. After two quarters of an hour, hold his head and come to me. If you fail, the friendship between you and me will be over."
With two bangs, Xu Qi'an kicked Sun Tai and Miao Youfang out of the merchant ship, and they fell towards the shore.
He then let Guanshi Zhu break down, stopped at the same spot, and watched the battle side by side with Mu Nanzhi.
Steward Zhu was petrified, he didn't expect this servant to be the master.
Seeing his serious expression, Mu Nanzhi asked:
"Worried about Miao Youfang?"
"I'm thinking, if I were Duke Wei, how would I govern these martial arts who violated the law by force?" Xu Qi'an said in a low voice.
The enemies of Dafeng are not only the rebellious party in Yunzhou, but also these Jianghu people who took advantage of the situation to make trouble, as well as refugees who went wherever they went to grab food
Wangfu, in the study.
Wang Shoufu, with a decadent expression, held a hand warmer, nodded his finger on the table, and asked:
"Erlang, this is a booklet sent from various places. Since the beginning of winter, banditry has been serious in various places. Scattered people in the rivers and lakes have taken advantage of the situation, gathered refugees, and robbed homes. Internal troubles and external troubles.
"Today, His Majesty reprimanded the princes in the palace, how to solve it? What's your opinion?"
Xu Erlang knew that Wang Shoufu was testing him.
Similar exams have happened from time to time in the past few months.
Wang Shoufu took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"Your qualifications are too young to be convincing in the royal party. I don't know when I will recover, and I may not recover.
"It's a pity that the team that has been in business for so many years is handed over to others."
Xu New Year frowned and remained silent.
"Don't worry, just give me a reply within three days." Wang Shoufu waved his hand wearily:
"You go."
