Xianyang Bridge

I remember how he stood in the snow, and what he said to me. He said that the world is terrible, but what is it like? "

The little girl looked at Qi Shaoshang with expectant eyes, as if she wanted to see the shadow of that snowy night from him, Qi Shaoshang raised his eyebrows and said, "Jianghu? Isn't it what you see? No matter how powerful a hero is, if he has no money, he can only live in a firewood house and help the little boss cook, which is no fun."

The way he raised his eyebrows and smiled looked free and easy and very amiable. The little girl was stunned and laughed, "You are right, then I should not step into the rivers and lakes."

The two worked together to cook the meal, and the little girl secretly stuffed a boiled egg for Qi Shaoshang when serving him and Lei Yun. Qi Shaoshang was happy when he received the gift. happy.

Ye Yu was lonely, and only the boatman lived in the thatched hut next to the ferry. When Lei Yun brought Qi Shaoshang over, the old boatman was cooking a pot of fish soup.

The fish meat was cooked, the fish bone was boiled into soup, and the strange smell rushed to the face. The old man who watched the fire under the eaves was tall and tall. Qi Shaoshang glanced at his thick-boned hands and said nothing.

"Uncle He, this is my elder brother, I brought him here!" Lei Yun entered the house without any hesitation, Qi Shaoshang stopped outside the door, the boatman stood up and greeted him, "Please, Mr. Qi, the humble house is simple , I didn’t greet you well, which made Qi Daxia laugh.”

"Where?" Qi Shaoshang glanced at Lei Yun, the young man was diligently digging out the bowls and chopsticks to put them on, as if he was in his own home, probably the eighteen generations of his ancestors had been tricked out this afternoon.

Qi Shaoshang shook his head helplessly in his heart, and then greeted the boatman politely, saying, "It's our brothers who bothered you. How can you say that such hospitality is simple."

The boatman noticed his guarded posture, and smiled at him, "Could it be that Qi Daxia was bitten by a snake once, and since then, he has changed his heroic spirit and dared not make friends casually?"

"That's not the case," Qi Shaoshang also smiled, "If you are upright, I will naturally not be stingy, but the old man is so unpredictable and his origin is a mystery, I really dare not be guarded."

The two faced each other across the door, one inside and one outside, Qi Shaoshang was in the cold night, but he was exposed to the light, although the boatman was under the lamp, it was dark under the lamp, and his face was blurred.

Inside, Lei Yun was still rummaging through boxes and cabinets, not knowing what he was doing. Qi Shaoshang raised his eyebrows, "If the old man doesn't explain why he came here, my brother will probably demolish the house of my husband."

Since he just stood by the door and refused to enter, the boatman has been looking at him with sharp eyes, but Hejiu found that he looks like a dragon, although his brother is in the trap of others, he is not chaotic at all, showing no flaws.

After a while, Qi Shaoshang still didn't move, the boatman finally lowered his head, and said, "Sure enough, there are no worthless men under the reputation, it's the old man who underestimated Qi Daxia."

As he spoke, he turned around and slapped or twisted everywhere in the hut, quickly wrapped a bag of things, threw it into the firewood pile by the stove, and said to Qi Shaoshang, "Hero Qi please."

Qi Shaoshang looked around the door with his hands behind his back, and then he came in. Before he could open his mouth, he saw Lei Yun secretly put the chopsticks in his mouth, and called out, "Lei Yun!"

Seeing that his face finally changed, the boatman grinned and said, "Don't worry, Qi Daxia, I never put poison in food, life is hard for the people, and you will be punished by God if you waste food."

Qi Shaoshang looked at him in surprise, and Lei Yun at the table asked, "Brother, should I eat it or not?"

"Eat yours." Qi Shaoshang flicked his head, stretched his legs and sat down at the table, and said slowly, "Eat it if you are not afraid of death."

Lei Yun's fish cakes had already been stuffed into his mouth. After hearing this and glaring at him, Qi Shaoshang laughed, and the boatman also smiled and brought the fish soup to the table, "Don't worry, little brother, the fish cakes are not poisonous. This technique of making puffer fish is famous all over the world, so I definitely won’t ruin my reputation.”

Qi Shaoshang also nodded, "For a fool like you, Mr. He would have killed you [-] times, so there's no need to bother with poisoning."

"Huh!" Lei Yun saw that Qi Shaoshang was amusing him, and started chewing angrily, and then exclaimed, "Brother, this is really delicious! It's fresh and sweet, you should try it too!"

The young man is cheerful and has no worries, a delicious bowl of good soup is enough to be happy, Qi Shaoshang counted for him, half a plate of fish sticks and three bowls of soup, he will be so poisoned that he can't get up.

Seeing that he fell down, Qi Shaoshang gave him another finger and tapped his acupoints, then he took off the wine bag from his waist and shook it by his ear, saying distressedly, "There are not many left, I'm afraid we can't Have fun with Mr.

As he spoke, he poured a bowl for the boatman and himself, "The cannons and lights of Lianyunzhai, sir, try it."

Seeing that he was so calm, the boatman couldn't help asking, "Isn't Hero Qi worried that your little brother is in danger?"

"He's fine, but sir, you seem to be okay?" Qi Shaoshang took a sip from the wine bowl, looked at him from above the wine bowl, and asked.

The boatman didn't answer him, but picked up the cannon on the table to light the lamp. Just smelling the hot sorghum wine from the north of Shanxi, he felt strong. The old man closed his eyes after taking a sip, and sighed, "It really is smoke and fire."

The words Yan Xia Li Huo seemed to hold Qi Shaoshang in place. There was a moment of silence, and the sound of the drizzling rain outside the door was highlighted. Qi Shao Shang remembered that rainy night back then, and that person said the same thing, Yan Xia Li Huo, what a beautiful description, "Who is your Excellency ?”

Qi Shaoshang asked, fair and honest, "My surname is He."

"I have been rowing on this river for 30 years, Qi Daxia doesn't have to doubt that this old man is really the boatman of this ferry."

Qi Shaoshang looked at his hands, and asked again, "How long has it been since you joined the Devil's Cult?"

Uncle He didn't seem to be surprised at all by his experience, he took a sip of his wine and said, "It's been 17 years."

He also said, "Hero Qi is wrong. Mingzun came to the world only to benefit the world and help the people. My teaching is not a demon teaching."

He said and looked at Qi Shaoshang, "The old man knows what Qi Daxia wants to ask. I have indeed met the person you want to ask. The fate of the first meeting is also on the Bianhe River."

"He also brought the same wine as Qi Daxia with him, and he also invited me to drink a bowl. Maybe this is fate?"

Qi Shaoshang was silent, and suddenly an eagle's cry cut through the night rain, Uncle He's face changed suddenly, and he stood up.

Qi Shaoshang looked at him thoughtfully, the hawk blew past, but Uncle He was still listening, Qi Shaoshang took off his coat and put it on Lei Yun, after a while, there was a faint sound of hooves coming from a distance. came.

"It's the Eighteen." Qi Shaoshang also came to the door, "Has Mr. Ti Qi been following him?"

The sound of hooves is chaotic, as if they are fighting, and sometimes they are far and near, and they seem to be rounding up.

He Bo shook his head and said, "It's not me, I'm only in charge of responding tonight."

Qi Shaoshang suddenly understood, "Is it fake that the ferry broke down?"

"It's not all. The bad ones are really bad, and the good ones have been repaired a long time ago. I'm really sorry for delaying Qi Daxia's schedule."

The old man looked serious, listening intently to the battle in the distance, clenched his thick and callused hands, obviously very worried.

Qi Shaoshang suddenly asked, "Why did you join the religion, sir?"

He Bo heard that he was no longer known as the Demon Sect, although he was still worried about whether that person would be able to escape the pursuit, he still answered Qi Shaoshang's question, "Because I believe that Mingzun will save the world."

Qi Shaoshang whispered, "Disturb Jiangnan and kill millions of Purdue people?"

He Bo stared at him eagerly, "Did Hero Qi really think that the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is all the fault of my teacher?"

Qi Shaoshang said, "It's always true that Fang Tianwang, your teacher, takes the lead in making trouble."

"If nothing happened, they would all be dead long ago," He Bodao, "Qi is a great hero who is as powerful as a dragon, and his abilities are as high as the sky. I'm afraid he doesn't know the suffering of the ant people."

"We don't want to fight against the government unless we really can't survive."

Uncle He suddenly smiled mockingly as he spoke, "Hero Qi is working in the government office now, have you ever heard of a nursery rhyme in the capital, three thousand ropes, Zhimi Pavilion, five hundred strings, promotion and judgment, even the children on the street know the official The corruption is already beyond control, but Qi Daxia is still blaming us for daring to resist?"

"If I taught that the rebel army really went around burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil things, why did the people hear the news and come here, and Taiwei Tong used the elite soldiers who were originally used to recover Yanyun to deal with the rebel army, and finally created a war in the south of the Yangtze River? Who can tell whether it was my teaching or the imperial court who killed millions of people?"

Qi Shaoshang frowned and looked at the old man in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "The people in your sect are really rebellious, and they don't take the court officials seriously."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the eighteen hoofs suddenly went away. Uncle He walked a few steps outside the hut, looked out of the sky, and said, "Hero Qi keeps talking about being an official in the court, but he has forgotten the time when he was the head of Lianyunzhai. ?"

Qi Shaoshang originally wanted to say that although I gathered in the mountains and forests in Lianyunzhai, what I did was to fight against foreign enemies, and it was two different things to fight against the south of the Yangtze River with the noble sect. Suddenly, I heard a sound of arrows, and about seven or eight miles away, Tiqi summoned fireworks and exploded After a long time, He Bo saw the fireworks and went straight to the pier.

Qi Shaoshang paused, turned around and blew out the lights, closed the door for Lei Yun, and followed him to the pier.

He Bo on the ferry was lifting the reed mat used as a camouflage to reveal the deck. He was busy when another person came rushing in the rain.

Qi Shaoshang recognized this person as the grumpy owner of the mansion, and the boss was surprised when he saw Qi Shaoshang, jumped on the boat and asked Bo He, "Why is he here too?"

He Bo said, "Don't worry, Qi Daxia has a feud with Tiqi Eighteen, so he won't sell us."

The boss was still a little worried, and lowered his voice, "He's about to arrive, will he succeed here?"

He Bo said, "Whether we succeed or not, we are not Qi Daxia's opponents. We won't be able to lie to him for long. It depends on whether Qi Daxia is willing to let us go."

With Qi Shaoshang's ears, they said
