The Qinjiang River is full of water, and the wind in late summer and early autumn slowly pushes away the waves. The world in the painting is quiet and full of natural beauty.

The weather is just right, and the boats on the Qinjiang River either ride the wind, or sail against the wind, or pass each other, or look at each other from a distance, all of which are the most common appearances.

People who live on the Qinjiang River all the year round know that the Qinjiang River is the most beautiful at this time of year, with calm water and fat fish. Hang a net at the stern of the boat, and you will be able to harvest after an hour or two. It is God's reward for hardworking people.

The boatmen wanted to hang the nets according to the old practice, but the military men on board refused to let them, saying that they needed the general's permission.

The boatmen looked at each other, quite helpless.

The boat had already been sold, and the original owner happily abandoned the boat and the boatmen with gold, but they were worried, for fear that they would accidentally offend the military men, and they were afraid that they would no longer be useful and would drive them all away. Get off the boat and don't know how to make a living in the future.

After being so anxious for two days, seeing that although these military masters are serious, they don't embarrass them, and everything has nothing to do with them, the boatmen gradually relaxed and wanted to go fishing, but unexpectedly, they were not allowed.

"What's going on?" A hundred households asked when they saw many people gathered at the stern of the boat.

"Boatmen want to catch fish."

"Have you asked General Su?"

"Not yet.

I'm afraid it's not good to disturb the general with such trivial matters. "

Baihu thought for a while and said, "The king of Chu bought the boat. Why don't you ask the king of Chu?"

The king of Chu is an idler, so he should take care of this kind of business, that's fine.

Hearing Baihu's words, the little soldier couldn't figure out what it meant, thinking that since the king of Chu was the owner of the ship, he should take this idea, so he ordered to go to the cabin.

The little soldier walked to the door of Qi Xiao's room, and just about to raise his hand, he suddenly stopped. This king of Chu is an arrogant and domineering master. He robbed people in the long street of Yongcheng, and even slandered and slandered General Lu. He is a rascal at all. But because of his high status, even General Su couldn't tear himself apart from him.

Just now when Baihu asked him to come, he didn't think much about it. Now he was standing at the door of the room and realized that he had accepted an unthankful job. He was afraid that he would be scolded. beat.

After hesitating for a long time, the little soldier still didn't dare to knock on the door, sweating profusely and stomping his feet lightly.

Zong Sheng and Bai Xiqiao inside the house both heard the sound outside the door, looked at each other, Zong Sheng turned and went out to open the door.

"What's the matter?"

The door suddenly opened, which startled the little soldier. Zong Sheng, tall and strong, blocked the little soldier like a wall, let alone being speechless.

Zong Sheng saw that it was a soldier of the Huwei Army and thought it was someone sent by Su Qin, so he asked again: "What orders does General Su have?"

"Uh... ah... no..." The little soldier stammered out one sound after another, but he didn't say a word clearly.

Zong Sheng frowned: "What's the matter?"

Bai Xiqiao followed and patted Zong Sheng on the shoulder lightly: "You scared him."

"Huh?" Is Tiger's Mighty Army so unusable?Fear?What kind of soldier are you afraid of?

As soon as Zong Sheng frowned, Bai Xiqiao knew what he was thinking. Although he didn't say anything, Bai Xiqiao couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Bai Xiqiao laughing, the little soldier couldn't help but feel ashamed, gritted his teeth and hated himself for being stupid.

Baixiqiao pushed Zong Sheng away, and asked the little soldier with a smile: "What's your name?"

"Little man Liu Yuan."

"Liu Yuan, are you here to deliver a message for General Su?"

Liu Yuan shook his head.

"Why is that?"

Liu Yuan took a deep breath: "The boatmen want to cast nets to catch fish, so they come here to ask His Highness the King of Chu for instructions."

"Fishing? Okay, so we can have fresh fish to eat tonight? Liu Yuan, go and tell them that the king of Chu has approved, and there will be rewards for catching big fish."

Zong Sheng stretched out his hand to hold Baixiqiao's forearm: "When will you be sure?"

Baixiqiao laughed and waved at Liu Yuan: "Yes, yes, you can go."

Liu Yuan knew that Zong Sheng and Bai Xiqiao were the personal guards of the King of Chu, and they should count on what they said, but they obviously had different opinions.

"Such small things, no problem."

Zong Sheng didn't say anything else, he drove Liu Yuan away, and after closing the door, he gave Bai Xiqiao a look: "It's you who want to eat fish."

"Yes.

In the past, when senior brother wanted to eat fish, it was your grandfather who personally went down to the stream to catch it for me. "

Zong Sheng sighed, feeling sorry for his master, he was obviously a noble man, but his life was miserable.

Bai Xiqiao ignored Zong Sheng's long and short sighs, walked back into the house, and sat down beside Qi Xiao's bed: "Xiao'er, let's eat fish tonight."

Qi Xiao had just heard a conversation outside, but he was still not happy to talk to him, pretending he couldn't hear him.

"The old people say that eating fish is smart, and senior brother will roast it for you at night, so you should eat more."

Qi Xiao silently rolled his eyes, because Bai Xiqiao's broken mouth could babble him until dark, and now he feels uncomfortable all over, not to mention eating fish, he feels like throwing up when he hears fish.

Suddenly turned over and sat up: "Why are you still not leaving?"

"I haven't finished talking just now."

Covered by the quilt, Qi Xiao fell back and covered his ears: "You've already said a lot."

Baixiqiao refused to leave, got back to business, and whispered to Zong Sheng: "Just now, Xiaoer meant that besides Ye Huai, there are other people secretly protecting Tang Ling? But if this is the case, Tang Ling will not come out to rescue Tang Ling after being assassinated several times." ? I can't justify it."

Zong Sheng shook his head: "It's not a secret guard, but a secret agent.

Before the battle on the Taihua River for several months, Grandpa and General Lu felt that Zhou Zai had buried a spy, but General Lu was unable to find out anything in the Huwei Army. "

"Wait, wait, how come the more you talk about it, the more confused I become.

Careful work?Isn't it the secret work of Qi State?Why is there still Zhou's detailed work?Where did it come from? "

Zong Shengdao: "Originally it is common for countries to intervene carefully.

My Da Chen has the second camp of Xuanji and Tiance, and Qi has the Office of Occupation. He is also well-known in Zhou Guo's Privy Council Xiaxing Luowei and the Metropolitan Government.

The Privy Council is under the control of Marquis Xun An, and Marquis Xun An is naturally in the hands of Marquis Xun An. Seeing Ye Huai's skill and tenacity, he is likely to be the Marquis Xing Luo. "

"Okay, even if Ye Huai is Xingluowei, it makes sense for Marquis Xun An to send a Xingluowei to protect his son, and it's not too much.

What did Xiao'er say they wanted to spread the news? "

Zong Sheng shook his head slightly: "These are all speculations.

Grandpa didn't elaborate. "

"Then what did he say?"

"My lord said that the two assassins in the inn were not sent by Qi Guo."

"No? Hasn't the one captured alive been confessed? It's just occupying the office."

"Both General Su and Master think otherwise."

"Then who else sent it?" Bai Xiqiao frowned, "So this is the news Tang Ling wanted to spread? Do you think he died more than one wave?"

Zong Sheng remained silent. They had just left Yongcheng and were already shrouded in layers of thick fog. Although the murderous intent was not aimed at them, Zong Sheng still sweated for Qi Xiao in his heart. would be more dangerous.

Bai Xiqiao slapped Qi Xiao with a slap: "Since we know that he will contact Zhou's meticulous work, shall we follow the plan and lure the snake out of the hole and give them a pot?"

Qi Xiao lifted the quilt, sat up, glared at Baixiqiao and said angrily: "What's the point! We don't do anything, it's not good to lie down and sleep! What does Zhou Guoxiu have to do with me! What has to do with you! Don't do it!" Forget what we went to Yuanjing for!"

Bai Xiqiao was startled, and the laughter on his face disappeared instantly, revealing a look of pain, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Qi Xiao couldn't bear to slow down his voice: "Brother, we only go to Yuanjing to do two things, avenge Master and Uncle, and then pick up my mother and leave."

Bai Xiqiao nodded and said after a while, "Xiao'er, Master said that you have the ambition of Kunpeng in your heart..."

"Kunpeng is just riding against the wind. If there is no [-]-mile thick wind, you have to be killed by yourself. That's not ambition, it's stupid."

Qi Xiao leaned against the head of the bed, turned his face away, and stopped talking to Bai Xiqiao.

Baixiqiao sighed silently, and became dull. If Qi Xiao was such a cynical, arrogant, arrogant and stupid person as the world saw, having the title of King of Chu should make him carefree all his life, and there is nothing wrong with being mediocre. It's a pity. He is too smart, and has been smart since he was a child, so he can't accept mediocrity and has to be mediocre.

Baixiqiao walked lightly to the outside, Zong Sheng came out after him, and closed the door of the inner bedroom for Qi Xiao.

"Zong Sheng, I still need to prepare some food for him, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he must eat."

Zong Sheng nodded.

"I'll keep an eye on Ye Huai, according to Xiao'er's intention, let's take a look."

"Do you need to tell General Su?"

Bai Xiqiao shook his head: "No need for the time being, it's better for us to keep a distance from the Huwei army."

***

Liu Yuan got the permission of Baixi Bridge and asked the boatmen to cast nets to catch fish. Several boatmen laughed and laughed at the stern of the boat.

After thinking about it, Liu Yuan didn't dare to let the boatmen on the deck, fearing that they would run around, so he simply asked Baihu for instructions to stay and take a job as a "supervisor".

Baihu didn't make things difficult for him, and agreed without saying a word.

The boatman saw that Liu Yuan was a young soldier, he looked good-looking and kind, and he allowed them to catch fish. After a second look, he didn't think he was intimidating in his armor, so they chatted after a while.

"Brother Liu, tell us something about the Tiger's Mighty Army? We all heard that General Lu was born with supernatural power and mighty power, but is it true?"

Speaking of Lu Fangjin, who in the Tiger's Might Army doesn't regard him as a god, Liu Yuan is even more adored, and immediately nodded with interest and said: "That is, our General Lu can open a hundred stone bows, not to mention Tiger's Might!" In the army, there is no second person in the whole world!"

"Wow! It's true!"

"I really want to see General Lu with my own eyes."

"Hahaha, you will be able to brag for the rest of your life, right?"

"Tch, you don't want to meet our Da Chen's God of War?"

"Think about it! But I heard that General Lu returned to Beijing to receive an award a month ago... Hey, then, brother Liu, why are you here on the Qin River?"

"Yes, why not take the official ship?"

These boatmen didn't know who the buyer of the boat was, and they were terrified when they saw the mighty Tigers boarding the boat the first day.

Liu Yuan opened his mouth but was speechless. They were commanded by the military this time, and talking to the boatmen would be leaking the military plan. If he said one more word, he would be in danger of being killed by the military staff. He quickly stood up and waved his hands and said: " I still have something to do, I have to go first, and I will help you collect the net in an hour."

Ye Huaizang was on the other side of the deck, listening to Liu Yuan's footsteps disappearing quickly.

Ye Huai lived with the boatman, of course he knew they were coming to catch fish, but he didn't show up when Liu Yuan was there, he didn't expect Liu Yuan to run away so soon, so he walked out to the stern: "I'll help."
