Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 630 629. Licking the Rain in the Rain Field (Two in One)

It was just a back view, even if it was just a back view, but Li Zhen was a little surprised by the wheat-colored skin exposed on the back of the girl's neck.

It is definitely not the skin color of mixed blood, and the black people are still called Kunlun slaves now.

It was the kind of skin that was completely exposed to the wind and sun, and it was particularly eye-catching in the twilight of the morning.

Not to mention the girl's clothes.

Although you can only see the back but not the front, her whole body is bound by tights like Yaolin Tianyi, but because this kind of tights are indecent to wear directly, so she put on a skirt .

The skirt and the tights... We don't know if it was caused by getting wet, or if it was designed like this naturally, in short, they fit perfectly with her slim figure.

With just one step that appeared in Li Zhen's field of vision, the Taoist could almost see all the curves of this girl...

To be honest, this kind of clothes is considered bold in this era.

It's a pity that you can't see the face.

But the next moment, the girl seemed to have noticed other people's gazes, and she was about to turn her head.

But at that ten-thousandth of a second, the Taoist retracted his neck directly, avoiding her sight...

Very simple.

He is afraid of trouble.

This group of people is obviously not good...

If there is a conflict... why?Can you kill them all?
Obviously unrealistic.

After retreating into the corner, he looked at the door that was open but no one dared to come out, all the passengers and boatmen who were huddled inside and did not dare to walk around carelessly, and then looked at the steps of the cabin deck... Finally, he endured the The smell of feet wafted from the cabin, and sat directly in the corner on the side of the steps.

Forget it.

Let's keep it out of trouble...

only……

Why don't these people bring umbrellas?
he thought to himself.

And in this thought, the ship lifted anchor, started again, and went down the river.

……

Li Zhen found out.

This group of people should be proficient in water.

Because since they got on the ship, no one dared to come out of the cabin.

Give them the whole place of the deck.

And this group of people did not suffer from any inconvenience in life when they were active on the deck.

Even eating and drinking Lazard.

During the whole day, they either rested or walked back and forth, but there was no small talk.

It seems that everyone is dumb.

Occasionally, from the deck, I will take a look here.

But because of the angle, they couldn't see Li Zhen hiding in the corner.

Everyone is fine.

At night, this group of people will also arrange people to watch the night, and according to Li Zhen's induction, they are all the practitioners on this boat.

It seems to be wary of something.

Li Zhen was also a little helpless, for fear of causing some trouble again.

The day passed smoothly.

Then early the next morning, Li Zhen encountered a rather unexpected situation.

Two people came down with two buckets of water each. When they saw Li Zhen, they paused, but they didn't say anything.Instead, he walked into the cabin with a bucket in his hand.

When it came out, the four buckets of water turned into empty buckets.

Evidently, the water was sent to the cabin below.

This surprised Li Zhen, because it was really difficult to fetch water in the cabin.And they seemed to understand the difficulties of these people in the cabin, and they came over to deliver water on their own initiative.

Just don't know what the frequency is.

But even so, Li Zhen had a slightly better impression of them.

But he didn't drink.

It doesn't matter if you say he has a good heart, or you say he's hypocritical... But after seeing that the "toilet" in the cabin is opened directly by a pull rope, and when the door is opened, the excrement and urine fall into the Huaihe River...

He didn't have a good impression of the Qinhuai water...

Although it is true that the river is flowing downwards, there are toilets just "flushed" under the water.

Forget it.

In this way, another day went by.

On the fourth day of the boat trip, it rained again.

In the past few days, the boat has been non-stop around the clock.

But Li Zhen didn't know how far away Zhongli was, so he could only continue to wait patiently.

And it finally rained, so he appeared on the steps leading to the deck, and drank some rainwater with his mouth open.

The rainwater is getting dirty... In his heart, it is more or less cleaner than the water for flushing the toilet.

Although I can't drink enough, I can quench my thirst anyway.

For him now, that's enough.

But when I opened my mouth to "lick" the rain, I felt a burst of footsteps.

He didn't think much about it, people came to patrol every day these days, and the people who delivered the water knew he was here.

I'm a harmless Taoist... Isn't it normal to drink some rainwater?

Eat the wind and drink the dew.

I'm saying, as long as you can't see me, I will definitely not hinder you heroes.

But after thinking about it, when he was "ahhhh" with his mouth open, Li Zhen saw the girl with wheat-colored skin looking down at him.

There was neither curiosity nor hostility in the eyes.

First of all, the girl was born pretty, with a healthy complexion, ruddy lips, and bright eyes...

very nice.

It's just that it looks too calm.

Calm, condescending, not to mention cold... but not hot looking at Li Zhen.

Looking at this fellow Taoist who reported that he had been meditating at the entrance of the cabin for a few days...

Look at his funny but inappropriate look.

until……

Li Zhen closed his mouth in embarrassment.

I thought this girl was too rude.

Disturbing Pindao licking the rain...

And when the girl saw Li Zhen "shut up", she didn't make a sound, and just stepped on the deck and left.

In order not to cause trouble, Li Zhen, who hadn't had a sip of water in all, could only sit back.

In less than ten breaths, a water bag was thrown down the steps in front of him with a bang...

"..."

Before Li Zhen raised his head, the sound of footsteps above his head sounded again.

People just left.

He picked up the water bag, pulled the cork off...

A scent of wine with a bit of fresh taste wafted out.

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate."

Li Zhen bowed to the void, and took a big gulp by himself with the wine bag.

This drink is not high in alcohol.

It tastes sweet and sour.

Said it was not properly brewed...but the taste was not bad.

Kind of like a low-fermentation... soft alcohol drink.

Enough to quench your thirst.

This girl is not bad, Li Zhen secretly said.

Then, it rained all night.

Nothing happened.

On the morning of the fifth day, when the two people who entered the house with buckets came out, they walked up to Li Zhen.

After the Taoist opened his eyes, he politely asked:
"What's the matter with the two masters looking for the poor?"

"Water bag."

One of them stretched out his hand.

Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment... Then he came to his senses and quickly handed over the unfinished water bag in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the man pinched it, found that there was still something inside, and handed it to Li Zhen:
"Drink up."

"Uh……"

Li Zhen, who was forced to open the business, had no choice but to pull out the cork and drank all the sweet and sour fruit wine, and the water bag was taken away.

Then in the morning of the sixth day, the two buddies carrying buckets threw the water bag over again.

"After drinking, come out and give it to us."

"..."

Pulled out the cork and found that the fruit wine was still inside...

Nice guy.

Now Li Zhen was really surprised.

But this time, when the two came out, Li Zhen returned all the empty water bags, and the two buddies went up again.

So repeated three times.

Finally, early in the morning of the eighth day, the boat stopped.

The group began to disembark.

And Li Zhen felt the movement outside... He thought that this should be Zhongli, right?

He didn't move.

Wait patiently.

Wait, wait, wait... until there was no movement on the boat.

Only then did he poke his head out.

Finally rebuilding the sky, just like coming out of the confinement room, first took a big breath of fresh air, and then stepped on the deck.

Behind, several boatmen who also stayed in the cabin for a few days also followed.

Looking at the bustling port in the distance, he rushed into the cabin and shouted:
"It's time to leave!"

Now, Li Zhen finally determined... This bustling port and the buildings in the distance are Zhongli City.

He has come to Jiangnan.

After thinking about it, he didn't go down, but asked in a low voice to a boatman next to him:
"Layman, I have the guts to ask, these days... who are these people on the boat?"

The boatman was stretching his muscles and bones. After hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment... Then he asked:
"First time in Jiangnan?"

"Uh-huh."

Seeing Li Zhen nodded, the boatman said:

"That's the Overseas Meeting."

"...what will?"

"Overseas Meeting!"

After the boatman finished speaking, he glanced at Li Zhen wonderingly, and continued to whisper:

"Yu Tianzong, Burial Sword Tomb, Golden Spear Turning Over the Sea and Bright Moon Shining, Blade's Edge is Heartless and Cold-blooded. Haven't heard of it?"

"Uh... no."

Li Zhen shook his head sincerely.

He has heard of Yu Tianzong, Lao Geng's sect.

I just don't know if I can meet it this time.

I really miss him.

"Yu Tianzong, Burial Sword Tomb, Golden Spear Army, Overseas Club, Mingyue Xianzong, Ruthless Valley, and the most mysterious Xueshalou. These seven sects are the strongest sects that lead the Jiangnan martial arts. And our ship That is the Overseas Club, they are from Jiangdu, Piling, Wujun, and Yuhang. They specialize in water business. As long as it is on the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, they almost have the final say."

"Including the Huai River?"

"Of course."

The boatman laughed at his ignorance, but now that everyone was loading and unloading, it was hard for him to continue fishing.And maybe seeing Li Zhen's kind face, he asked:
"Taoist, don't blame us for not reminding you. When you first come to Jiangnan, you must not mess with people from these sects. Otherwise, you won't know how you will die... If you meet them, you must stay away. They say what they say , don't argue...otherwise, although these sects have a good reputation, they are not lenient when it comes to killing people."

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Li Zhen nodded half-understood, and seeing the boatman was about to leave, he hurriedly asked again:
"Then how can I tell them apart?"

"Identify?... People of Yutianzong like to take their spirit beasts to the streets, burial tombs to hold swords, golden gun soldiers to carry guns, turning over the sea will make water thorns, Mingyue Xianzong are all women, beautiful Girl, you walk like a celestial being, so pretty. The Wuqing Valley uses knives... Don't ask me about Xueshalou, because if you really meet them...you would have died a long time ago, and you can't ask. Useless."

"..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the pier.

If you look at it visually, whether you hold a knife or a sword, there are dozens of them at least.

What do you mean?
Are they all those... people from Ruthless Valley and Sword Burial Tomb?
But the boatman also walked into the cabin to unload the cargo, and the other passengers almost left.

He had nowhere to ask.

It's not easy to find someone with a knife and a sword casually, and go up and say:
"Hey, are you that Sword Burial Tomb or Ruthless Valley?"

Isn't that looking for a cut?

Forget it, forget it, I can't afford to offend you, so hurry up and find a bad woman.

Pindao is so pure and innocent, he must have nothing to do with them.

Well, sure!
Having made up his mind, Li Zhen got off the boat directly and began to inquire about where there was a place to sell horses in Zhongli City.

Going all the way to the southeast from Zhongli is Jiangdu County.

Not far from a bad girl...

After Shoujing from a distance nodded silently, Li Zhen also found out where he could buy horses.

After walking and asking, I finally found a place where horses were sold in Zhongli City.

……

"Junior Sister Tian, ​​at most we will delay in Zhongli for a day, so please don't be so anxious, Junior Sister?"

When Li Zhen was buying horses, at the east gate of Zhongli City, the girl who had met Li Zhen on the boat was looking at her with frowning eyes. There was also a man with two thorns hanging from his waist.

"Senior Brother Zhou, the president has ordered our Huai Shui Department to arrive at Liyang non-stop after disembarking from Zhongli. Now we have to delay one day in Zhongli? If we delay the president's order, how will our Huai Shui Department be in the future? Standing in the door? How should Master be questioned by the door?"

Her voice was clear and crisp, and when she spoke, it was like a gurgling clear spring. Even though her skin was a little darker, her beautiful and wild appearance and figure made her look even more charming.

It's a pity that senior brother Zhou didn't buy it, and tried his best to put on a businesslike appearance:

"It's not that I deliberately made it difficult for my junior sister, but now that the waterway is blocked by Wagang, the transportation pressure on the Huai River is too great, and Du Fuwei has been heavily reinforced recently in the door. Now, except for your junior sister, most of the other people They were all sent to Mr. Du.

But the supplies from the north are about to arrive soon, and I was ordered to let the people in the door stay in Zhongli to meet them.This batch of goods is of great importance. Although it is not clear what it is, the vice president and the elder have already issued a death order to send it to Liyang without any risk.What can you tell me to do?I ordered someone to send the letter back to the meeting a few days ago, but no one has replied so far, so I can only do this.

What's more... Martial Sister Tian, ​​once the Liyang War starts, whether we will go or not will be nothing more than 2000 more or 2000 less, and the war will not play a decisive role.Therefore, for the sake of safety, I hope you can still receive this batch of goods with me and set off together. "

"Impossible. Now there are only two days left before the agreed date, which is the day we should rush to arrive. Otherwise... how will the other sects think of us? Are you running away?!"

"……Ugh."

Hearing the girl's words, finally, Senior Brother Zhou showed a look of helplessness on his face:
"Then what do you want me to do? This batch of goods..."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice:
"It seems to be a healing medicine. Do you think I dare not wait, Senior Brother?"

"..."

The girl's brows were also completely wrinkled.

"Healing medicine? Where did you get it?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"..."

Hearing this, she frowned, as if weighing the pros and cons.

For a moment, she watched Senior Brother Zhou finally speak:
"How many people do you need to escort?"

"No one can leave! This order came suddenly from the Great Elder, and I didn't give me any time to prepare. There are twelve cargo ships, although I don't know how many things... These healing medicines are of great importance. The more people, I Only then can we be sure to send it to Liyang!... You know, this is not a waterway, but this road, we have to guard against not just thieves..."

"……it is good!"

Hearing this, the girl's face also became resolute:
"Now there are only two days left in the time agreed with Manager Du. I have to hurry up to get there within three days. And even if I'm the only one who brings the news, it's an excuse. It's very important. How about not throwing away the people from the Huai Shui Department?"

"……it is good!"

Brother Zhou hesitated for a moment, nodded vigorously, and said:
"The junior sister went to report first to reassure them that I will deliver these healing medicines to Liyang safely!"

"……Um!"

The girl responded, and got on the horse directly:

"Then there is Senior Brother Lao here."

"Junior Sister, be careful!"

Hearing this request, the girl responded:
"Well... drive!"

With the sound of horseshoes, they went straight out of the city.

……

"The Daoist wants to buy a horse?"

Seeing him watching from outside the fence, the boy came up and asked a question.

Seeing Li Zhen nodding, the smile on the boy's face became more natural.

"I don't know what kind of horse I want? We have a thousand-mile horse from Pegasus City, and a common bad horse..."

"Let's take a look..."

He didn't ask where the horse in Pegasus City was... He didn't say that Pindao was notoriously hated in Pegasus City, and even killed the young suzerain himself.You take the horse out and I'll inspect the goods...

Just looking at the horses in the fence, he asked:
"If riding a horse, how far is it from here to Jiangdu? How many days will it take?"

"Jiangdu?"

Who would have thought that when the young man heard where Li Zhen was going, he quickly lowered his voice:

"Oh, Taoist priest is going to Jiangdu?"

"Yeah... what's wrong?"

Li Zhen was a little strange.

What kind of attitude is this?

Seeing the boy shake his head quickly:
"Jiangdu is not a good place to go right now, Daoist. You don't know yet, do you? Jiangdu is... ready to fight!"

"...?"

Li Zhen's thoughts moved:
"fight?"

"Correct!"

The boy looked around, and his voice became even lower:

"That traitor, Du Fuwei, is fighting against the army sent by His Majesty at Liyang. Everyone is rumoring that Du Fuwei has hundreds of thousands of troops and wants to fight His Majesty in the Jiangdu area... Now there People who can escape are fleeing, Daoist, why are you still rushing there?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Li Zhenxin said that you are not afraid that I will not buy your horse after hearing your news?
But this little guy is sincere, he didn't fool Li Zhen by selling horses, but it made Li Zhen feel a lot better.

Simply came the sentence:

"Pindao is only 20 taels of silver. You can help him choose a horse...Pindao is a Taoist priest, and he doesn't get involved in any battles. He went there to visit Gao Gong."

"Uh……"

Hearing this, the boy looked at the two ingots of official silver ingots of ten taels that Li Zhen handed over, and looked at Li Zhen with a little more serious eyes.

Official bank is generally circulated by officials, and ordinary people generally don't use it.

But this Taoist priest can actually take out official money, and his identity is not easy to think about.

So he didn't fool around, and didn't dare to say anything, for fear of breaking a taboo, he went into the enclosure, chose a horse with a good coat and color for Li Zhen, and gave it a saddle.

After pulling it out, he thankfully took the money.

And Li Zhen asked how to get to Jiangdu again, and after confirming the route, he led the horse and started walking all the way outside Zhongli City.

At this moment, he was delayed in Zhongli City for about an hour.

According to the boy, he arrived at the east gate of Zhongli all the way... At a glance, he saw the group of men with thorns hanging from their waists and bandages on their heads, who were clearly dressed differently from these men. Lead them to the city.

Just didn't see the girl.

Where did you go?

Li Zhen thought about it in wonder, but seeing that the people around him were giving in spontaneously, he didn't dare to mess around, and pulled the horse back to the side.

After waiting for this group of people to pass by him, he led the horse all the way out of Zhongli City.

Get on the horse:

"drive!"

……

Tian Yu galloped on the official road with his horse.

Gradually, the surrounding pedestrians began to decrease.

She didn't care to take into account that this time, for some reason, the president suddenly changed from originally intending to cooperate with Wagang to an alliance with Du Fuwei.

She doesn't know about high-level affairs.

But for her who grew up in the Overseas Club since she was a child, the face of the Overseas Club is a golden signboard.

Everyone on both sides of the Three Rivers knows everyone.

Since the president has formed an alliance with Du Fuwei and ordered the Huai Shui Department to reinforce Du Fuwei, as the leader of the third team, she has absolutely no reason to miss the appointment.

But in the end it was a waste of time.

But she also didn't want to be late.

Because being late is tantamount to missing the appointment.

This is unacceptable in Tian Yu's view.

Now she needs to hurry up.

Riding Mercedes-Benz all the way, the post station set up five miles outside Zhongli City has come into view.

But her horse is already full of food and water, so there is no need to stop.

So she didn't slow down, and planned to run until the horse couldn't run.

But who would have thought that at the moment when she passed by the post station, she suddenly felt a fluctuation in the qi of heaven and earth.

Turning his head instinctively, he collided with the eyes of the two nuns in the air.

Tian Yu instinctively reacted wrongly, but...

late.

"Hui Jian, cut three thousand threads of trouble!"

Following a clear and calm voice, three transparent long swords suddenly appeared in front of the galloping horse!

Tian Yu didn't even think about it, she slapped the horse's back, and her whole body flew back into the air.

And the three transparent long swords instantly cut the galloping horse into three sections.

Tian Yu fell to the ground.

Before he had time to think about who the two nuns were, he heard a sentence:
"Master, she's the only one, what should I do?"

It was the young nun who was speaking.

And after saying this, the old nun just glanced at her... and Tian Yu's back felt pain and cold like a pinprick!
An instinctive crisis between life and death made her pull out the two water thorns around her waist and hold them in her hands without hesitation...

At the same time, the words of the old nun came to my ears:

"Amitabha."

After the merciful Buddha's name, there is an extremely plain sentence of life and death:

"Kill it."
