Zhao Guangqian sat on the bow of the boat, looking up at the moon in the sky.

This time escort Zhao Guangqian was unwilling to come out in his heart. Somehow, when the master sat on the rough jujube wood chair and uttered the four words "going south tonight" in his mouth, Zhao Guangqian's right eyelid twitched.

Jumping, an indescribable feeling suddenly emerged in my heart. It felt like the river water in early spring in front of the door, cold to the bone, and then the whole spirit became depressed. When I stood on the Xiejia Pier, watching the canal water being passed by

When the cargo ship stirred up waves, he realized that the coldness in his heart was actually panic, and he didn't want to take this journey.

If he asked his master for leave, he would definitely approve it, but he didn't dare and couldn't. He really couldn't rest without his master.

Zhao Guangqian is always happy every time he goes out. He likes the feeling of walking in the wind, and even looks forward to having a fight with someone on the road. What happened this time? Why did he suddenly feel sick? Is it illness?

Yet?

Seeing the moon disappearing into the clouds and a thick layer of black gauze covering his body, Zhao Guangqian felt a little heavy.

The water was a bit strong tonight, and the boat was moving very fast. Before he knew it, he was at the foot of Wangmu Mountain. Zhao Guangqian turned around to look at the mountain. He was very familiar with Wangmu Mountain. Every time he came back from escorting in the south, he would definitely see Wangmu Mountain when he came near it.

Shouting, "I want to see my mother-" There is a Guandi Temple at the foot of the mountain. On windless nights, the abbot of the temple, the monk Juelin, will put up a lantern in front of the temple. The monk said that the lantern is not for

The boatman lights the way, but it lights a lamp in the hearts of passers-by.

The lights in his heart are very appropriate. Zhao Guangqian thought to himself more than once. But at this time, the foot of the mountain was completely dark. Where were the lights of Guandi Temple? Zhao Guangqian stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, but he didn't catch the wind. He thought

I couldn't help but stand up and look at Wangmu Mountain in a daze. Why are there no lanterns tonight? Is the monk lazy, or is there no wax in the temple?

"Master—" Zhao Guangqian exclaimed subconsciously, holding the second half of the sentence in his mouth and swallowing it quickly. He felt that he was a little too reckless, it was just a lantern, why bother to disturb the master's rest.

This sound was enough. Walking in the rivers and lakes, Xie Yutian would be shocked if there was any disturbance, not to mention Zhao Guangqian's voice was really out of character.

Escort Xie Yutian was unwilling to accept this trip. Firstly, it was in a hurry. It was originally scheduled to depart at 10:00 three days later. Unexpectedly, the employer suddenly changed his mind and asked to sail at 10:00 that night. Secondly, the identity of the merchant was secret, and the business of Xie's Escort Agency was not affected.

Yixian County has a radius of hundreds of miles, especially Taierzhuang City, which has the most customers. When business comes to the door, Xie Yutian can tell the direction of the person at a glance.

The people who boarded the ship all had an air of acclimatization, their accents sounded like Jianghu customs, and their behavior seemed a bit official. Third, the escorts were weird. When they made the contract, they only said they were twenty boxes.

The daughter's dowry was packed with twenty large boxes of heavy items when she boarded the ship. The document had been established. Considering the reputation of the Xie's Escort Agency, Xie Yutian did not dare to go back on his words. He could only be more careful and add more manpower according to the situation. The original three escorts were increased.

There were five people, and he replaced his junior brother with a sick body, and personally led the escort team.

Xie Yutian has traveled around the world for a long time, experienced wind and rain, and has experienced everything in a hurry. Although he has doubts and uneasiness in his heart, he remains calm on the outside. After boarding the ship, he drove his apprentices into the cargo hold to sleep. From Tongzhou to Hangzhou, three

Xie Yutian is more familiar with this canal than his own blood. He went south from the Taierzhuang Shuiguan, all the way to Huai'an. Along the way, there were friends on the "Guaizixing" in every prefecture and county. Hedao Shuiguan

They would also give the Xie family bodyguards trouble, so he had to follow his usual practice and let his apprentices recharge their batteries and not become nervous until they passed Huai'an.

Xie Yutian had suffered a cold a few days ago and had not yet recovered. The spring was cold and the water was cold and windy. Zhao Guangqian was worried that his illness would relapse, so he took the initiative to ask for a night watch. Zhao Guangqian was Xie Yutian's most proud disciple. He was not only good at boxing, but also brave and careful, so he kept him

You feel at ease on the boat.

Xie Yutian told Zhao Guang a few times before he entered the cabin, drank a bowl of ginger tea, and leaned against the window lattice to take a nap. He was over fifty years old, and he originally felt less and less dreamy. This time, I don’t know if it was because of illness or because of

Moistened by the hot tea, I fell asleep deeply as soon as I closed my eyes, and also had a strange dream. In the dream, there was a vast ocean, surrounded by water mist, and a lonely boat without sails and oars was spinning in the water. Zhao Guangqian stood alone

The bow of the boat was at a loss, and suddenly there was a strong wind on the water. The boat actually carried Guangqian and floated into the air. For a moment, only the white mist was left in front of the eyes... Guangqian, Guangqian, where are you going? Xie Yutian

He broke out in sweat and called his apprentice loudly.

At this time, Zhao Guangqian exclaimed, "Master!"

Xie Yutian stood up, bent down and floated out of the cabin like a whirlwind, "What?"

Zhao Guangqian felt a little guilty and did not dare to look directly at his master. He muttered, "The lanterns at Wangmu Mountain are not lit tonight."

"Really?" Xie Yutian stood up straight at the stern of the boat and looked at Wangmu Mountain, which was gradually disappearing in the mist. "Maybe the monk is sick."

"He has an apprentice."

Xie Yutian turned around and looked at Zhao Guangqian, his eyes full of warmth, "He is about to come to Taierzhuang. He is familiar with the country, so there is no need to make a fuss."

"Yes, I disturbed Master's rest."

"You go to bed, I'll talk to Lao Xiao. Lao Xiao, you can save yourself some trouble today -"

Lao Xiao, who was in charge of the boat, was stunned. Two speedboats suddenly flew out of the reeds on both sides of the river, one on the left and one on the right.

Although the river here is narrow and the reeds are continuous, it is close to the village. The boat never needs to worry about it when it comes here. What happened tonight? Is it possible that someone dares to commit robbery here?

Xie Yutian and Zhao Guangqian immediately stood back to back, each staring at a ship, nervously observing the movements on the ship.

"No nonsense, just throw the boxes on the ship over and take yours!" The ship coming from the port side handed over something.

They actually knew that there were boxes on the ship. It seemed that they had been targeted while loading the ship.

Xie Yutian thought of all the strange things about this escort, and his heart trembled, knowing that this group of people would not be easy to deal with. He knocked his heels in the dark and flicked a wine glass under the boat into the cabin.

Every time he escorts, he has to place a wine bottle and a wine glass under the gang of the boat. The wine glass is placed in the cabin to tell the apprentices in the cabin not to act rashly, and the wine bottle is placed in the cabin to tell the men to board the ship.

"Hewu——, ours is the Taierzhuang Xie's Escort Agency..." Before Xie Yutian could finish his words, two hooks were thrown up from the two gangster boats at the same time, and the escort boats were caught.

"Don't call me. I know this is a bodyguard from the Xie Family Bodyguard Bureau. You are the head bodyguard, Xie Yutian. I'm sorry for you. We only want the goods and no harm will be done to anyone."

Zhao Guang took a step forward and reached out to grab the scratching hook fastened to the side of the ship. At this time, Xie Yutian saw someone on the bandit ship raising a musket and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Don't move."
