general follow me

"Hall Master! Hall Master!" the guard of Feihua Pavilion called Xiao Ding.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ding jumped off the roof, "In a hurry?"

"Hallmaster A said he has something to look for you." The dark guard reported truthfully.

"Xiao Jia?" Xiao Ding was puzzled, if he didn't take care of his wounds, what would he do with him?Glancing at the dark guard, he waved his hand and said. "Okay, you go down first, I'll go and see Xiaojia."

"Okay. This subordinate will leave." The dark guard saluted and disappeared without a trace.

Just as Chen An came out of the room, Xiao Ding turned around and ran into him.The four eyes met, and the two were speechless.

"I......"

Just as Chen An said a word, Xiao Ding interrupted him rudely, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. Master Chen An takes good care of his wounds."

"..." When he called again, Xiao Ding was no longer in front of him, Chen An sighed, sitting alone in the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky.

"Xiao Jia?" Xiao Ding called out tentatively.

"Come in."

Xiao Jia was sitting in the room, flipping through the book, and when she saw Xiao Ding coming, she immediately put down what she was doing, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter, you're so secretive!" Xiao Ding slandered, "We used to do things in a sneaky way, but now you're even more sneaky, tell me, which young master do you have your eye on?" Xiao Ding sat idly.

"Be serious!" Xiao Jia said helplessly, "I came here to tell you about that rainy night."

"That rainy night?" Xiao Ding immediately became serious, "Is there anything unusual?"

Xiao Jia nodded, "That night, I met the head of the Lu family, and he deliberately lured me away."

"Master Lu?!" Xiao Ding was surprised.

"Shh..." Xiao Jia pressed Xiao Ding's shoulder, "Hush your voice! Don't be so excited."

"Okay, okay...I'm not excited..." Xiao Ding was a little shocked, "No, hasn't Master Lu been missing for three years?!"

"I don't know either. I didn't dare to tell you, Master Lu. I don't think Master Lu is the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between good and evil." Xiao Jia sighed.

"We can't tell the young master first, we have to hide it from the second pavilion master first..." Xiao Ding thought to himself, "So, from today on, we will also secretly investigate the matter of King Xiu, and see What is the cause and effect relationship?"

"Well, that's fine too."

Although Liu Ran wanted to think again, she didn't refuse or resist, but just followed Shi Yu silently and left.And because Xiaojia and Chen'an's injuries haven't fully healed yet, they walked very slowly along the way.

The child followed the road without saying a word. He could tell that one big brother was in a bad mood, and the other big brother was in a bad mood.He'd better wait until he was in a good mood to talk, otherwise, what would the big brother and the others think he was talking too much and leave him halfway.

"General, the official road is being repaired, we can only take a detour." A shadow guard reported.

"What is the nearest road? How to get there?" Shi Yu asked.

"Go back to the general, it's a waterway, take a detour from the south."

"How long will the detour take? How long will it take for the official road to be repaired?"

"If it is short, it will take about three hours, if it is long, it will be about a day. The master on the other side said that it will take three days after the pipeline is repaired."

"Notice to go down, take the waterway."

"Yes!"

"My lord, let's take the waterway next, the official road ahead is under construction." Chen'an brought back news to tell Liu Ran.

Liu Ran didn't say much, just replied, "Yes."

The water in the south of the Yangtze River is crystal clear, and the lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the sky. A group of birds are swimming on the water surface. In the distance are several mountains covered by thin clouds. At the foot of the mountains, there are smoke from cooking houses, shouting and shouting one after another, creating a harmonious atmosphere. atmosphere.

There were several ferries parked at the pier by the water, and the boatmen on the ferries looked at them with a reed in their mouths with great interest.

"Hey! Brother! Cross the river!" A person was the first to break the atmosphere.

"Boater, how much money do you need to cross the river?" Xiao Ding asked.

"If you cross the river alone, it's more expensive. If you cross the river in a group, it's cheaper. How many of you are there?" the boatman asked.

"About 50 people." Xiao Ding calculated.

"No," Shi Yu stepped forward, "70 people."

"Seven..." Xiao Ding looked around, but found no one else.

"Boater, share the money with you. You don't need to look for it. There are more than [-] people behind, and they will arrive here in about a day." Shi Yu said as he handed over a bag of money.

"Okay! Thank you, guest officer!" The boatman laughed and shouted at everyone, "Brothers, let's sail!"

Liu Ran also got out of the carriage with them, but saw a boatman walking towards him.

Even though the boatman was wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, he couldn't hide the aura of a martial artist emanating from his whole body.Liu Ran frowned unconsciously.

"Master Liu, my master invites you to board his boat." The boatman said respectfully.

"Your master?" Liu Ran was alert, "Who is your master?"

"Winemaker Lu San."

Liu Ran hesitated for a while, but followed the boatman to the boat.Unexpectedly, Shi Yu found out and walked over here.

Shi Yu gently took Liu Ran behind him and stood in front of the boatman, "What's the matter?"

"Hehe, it's nothing. My master just invited Mr. Liu to catch up on the old days, and I hope the general will accommodate you." The boatman said politely, thinking that he was afraid of conflict.

Shi Yu glanced sideways at Liu Ran, with some disbelief in his eyes.

"It's okay, it's just an old friend, this boat will follow you." Liu Ran walked forward, "You don't have to worry about it, General."

Shi Yu finally compromised, sighed, "I'll follow you, you can do whatever you want." After speaking, he left.

"Thank you, General." The boatman thanked with a smile.

Liu Ran looked at Shi Yu's back for a long time, and said two words weakly, "Let's go."

"Young Master, come with me." The boatman led the way ahead.

That boat was no different from an ordinary ferry boat, but for some reason, when Liu Ran thought of Lu San on the boat, she felt that the boat was cast with a hint of mystery.

"Sir, please."

Liu Ran lifts the curtain and enters.

Lu San turned his back to him, dressed in black just like that day, with half of his black hair hanging behind him, with a few gray hairs indistinctly. It feels like Lu San seems to be burdened with a similar experience as him.

"Third Master." Liu Ran called out.

"sit down."

Liu Ran walked around in front of Lu San, only to find that there was actually a chess game here, the chess pieces had already been laid out, the black and white chess pieces were evenly matched, and there was a stalemate.

"I don't know why the third master called me?" Liu Ran asked.

"You use black pieces, I use white pieces, you play this game of chess with me, it's like a parting between friends." The third master under the mask seemed to smile, "how?"

"...Okay," Liu Ran didn't know why, but still couldn't bear to refuse.

Lu San was still merciless, and every step of the way was murderous, trying to break Heizi's tricks.Liu Ran was really sweating profusely, it was as if she was on the battlefield in person.

"Why don't you use the hexagram I gave you that day?" Lu San asked below.

"What's the use of using it? This is what I should bear. I can't avoid it. I can't avoid it." Liu Ran had to deal with Lu San's problem while playing chess.

"I have also insisted on going my own way, and I have caused too many people to die because of me. What I have done is not to live, but to make their deaths worthwhile... Don't go there, or you will directly Losing... There are too many unsatisfactory things in life, and we can't avoid them." When Lu San said this, he sighed.

No one expected that his eldest brother would leave like this at that time.

No one expected that when he exterminated the Xuanyi Sect, he secretly saw how many decent disciples secretly defected to them while saying that they were at odds with each other.

No one expected that it would be three years since then.

At that time, the young scholar was full of vigor, but now the three thousand hairs have sprouted.

"Third Master..." Liu Ran felt that the Lu Sanan in front of him was the same age as him, had experienced things far beyond his imagination, and already had the heart of an old man, like a mirror, seeing through the world.

"I won again." Lu San just wanted to make a move, but he saw the situation on the board clearly. "This time, you have retreated a lot from last time. This time, you use white pieces, and I use black pieces."

"I..." Liu Ran hesitated, but saw that Lu San had put away the chess pieces played by the two of them, and returned to the original situation.

"It's not too troublesome to do it again." Lu San glanced at Liu Ran meaningfully, and said, "The first few steps you took were actually correct, remember the position and order of my moves? "

"...I probably remember," Liu Ran didn't know why, but still nodded.

"Okay, play as I want." Lu San looked down at the chessboard, not giving Liu Ran any room to refuse.

Helpless, Liu Ran had no choice but to follow the memory.But when she was playing and intoxicated, Liu Ran realized how powerless she was in the last game of black chess.

"Don't go down here, or you will be the one who will bite back..."

"You can give up here, but you just got off here. If you go down here, you will suffer more casualties..."

"Go here, white can't move..."

......

"Guest officer, we're here! You can get off the boat!" shouted the boatman outside the boat.

Shi Yu came out of the boat and bowed, "Thank you, the boatman."

"Oh...don't, don't, don't be like this, you are guests, thank you for bringing us good fortune!" The boatman smiled foolishly.

"Do you remember what I just played?" He asked casually while putting away the chess pieces.

"I can't remember Ganji. If the opponent's chess pieces can change when playing, I can remember it." Liu Ran said helplessly.

"It's okay," Lu San smiled, "That's for remembering, and I'll think about it when I go back. Next time, I hope to have a hearty next game with you, instead of being so listless today."

Liu Ran said respectfully, "Thank you, Third Master..."

"Let's go." Lu San waved his hand.

"Goodbye." Liu Ran also smiled before leaving.

As soon as he got out of the boat, he saw that Shi Yu had just arrived at his boat, Liu Ran couldn't help but feel a little funny, so afraid of him escaping?

"You follow Hall Master Ding and the others first."

"General, he's just a friend of mine," Liu Ran frowned. Since Lu San only wanted to see him alone, he just didn't want to cause trouble, so why did Shi Yu still chase after him.

"I just have something to ask, sir." Shi Yu's eyes were fixed on Lu San.

"General," Liu Ran was angry and wanted to laugh, "You..."

"It's okay." Lu San's cold voice came, and even Xiao Ding and Xiao Jia in the distance were shocked.Liu Ran had no choice but to leave first.

"Sir, did you put the map on?" Shi Yu asked.

After a long time, a sigh came from inside the boat, "Yes."

"These boatmen are also selected by the master?" Shi Yu continued to ask.

"How did you find out?"

How to find out?Ordinary boatmen seldom know martial arts, and they will never be a large group.While on the ferry, the rest of the boats automatically kept a certain distance from Lu San's boat.This made Shi Yu have to pay more attention.

"...Thank you sir." Shi Yu bowed, different from bowing his head slightly in the past, but as a gift to his seniors.Everyone who watched was dumbfounded.

Lu San didn't shirk, but continued, "It's too early to say thank you... let's go."

Shi Yu straightened up, "Sir, go slowly."

The boatman who set up the boat bowed his head slightly to signal, then punted away.

"General..." Liu Ran was a little stunned, looking at Shi Yu who came over, a little confused.

"Let's go."
