The boat sailed along the winding waterway to the canal outside Gaojibo. Little Lolita's eldest grandson Wugou looked at the duckweed drifting behind the boat in fascination. He couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he murmured to himself: "Meeting by chance...

Meeting by chance, that's it, this word is really vivid."

Changsun Wuji, who was standing next to him, nodded and said: "This word is really clever and quite novel. I didn't expect that a rough man from the countryside could have such literary talent. It's strange!"

The eldest grandson Wugou rolled his eyes at him: "Young Master Gao is not some wild man."

"Look at his body, which is all black and white. He is dressed like that and goes out to catch bastards in the mountains and swamps in broad daylight. How does he look like a scholar? What is he if he is not a rough man in the countryside?" Changsun Wuji snorted, obviously

I still feel a little bit unhappy about the title "Little Fatty".

The eldest grandson Wugou shook his head and said softly: "My brother is already inferior to others based on their appearance. What's more, although he is a bit dark, he talks well and speaks well. When it comes to literary talent, my brother may not be as good as him. When it comes to martial arts, he can only be as good as him."

I'm afraid that my brother will be even worse, let alone his character. My brother is always rough and rough. If Mr. Gao is a reckless man, then my brother will be even more reckless."

Changsun Wuji's face turned red and he said displeasedly: "Guanyin maid, why are you turning your arms outward and helping others to harm your own brother?"

"People just discuss matters." Changsun Wugao said helplessly.

Changsun Wuji said sourly: "Okay, okay, my brother is a reckless man, but Gao Bufan is not. He is handsome, courteous, and talented. He is unparalleled in the world. He will be defeated if he is not talented!"

The eldest grandson Wugou laughed out loud: "Brother, there is no need to be bitter. In fact, you are a little better than Mr. Gao."

Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, he raised his chest and asked: "Which point?"

"You're not as thick-skinned as him!" After Changsun Wugou said this, he covered his mouth and chuckled, his clear eyes curved into beautiful moon buds.

Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, but his sister was indeed right. The black guy even boasted that he was handsome, and his tone was so sure and natural, so deserving of a beating... Eh!

Changsun Wuji suddenly let out a light sigh, and stared at Changsun Wugou with a worried look. The latter's smile slowly disappeared, and he touched his face in confusion and asked: "What's wrong?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at his father and uncle chatting on the bow of the boat like a thief, and asked in a low voice: "Guanyin Maid, have you taken a fancy to that Gao Bufan?"

Changsun Wugou's pretty face turned red, and he said slightly embarrassedly, "No, stop talking nonsense!"

Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted his chest and said to himself: "It's okay, okay, what else will Brother Shimin do?"

"Dad, brother bullied me!" Changsun Wugou stamped his foot in anger.

Changsun Sheng and Gao Shilian came over after hearing the reputation. Changsun Wuji blushed and waved his hands and shook his head incoherently: "I...I didn't. I...just asked Maid Guanyin if she wanted to drink turtle soup."

Changsun Wuji suddenly came to his senses and pointed at the tied green-skinned tortoise and said loudly.

Changsun Sheng nodded: "Wugu is weak, so drinking turtle soup is suitable."

"The boy turned around and ordered someone to stew the turtle." Changsun Wuji said while secretly winking at Changsun Wugao to beg for mercy. The latter tilted his face and just ignored him.

Changsun Sheng and Gao Shilian looked at each other and smiled. The two brothers and sisters had a deep relationship and occasionally bickered, so they didn't take it to heart and turned around to continue talking.

Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down next to Changsun Wugou, bowed his head and said: "I don't hesitate to speak for my brother, good sister, please spare my brother this, otherwise my father should scold me again."

, very miserable!”

Changsun Wuguo then turned his anger into laughter and hummed, "Let's see if you dare to make random arrangements in the future."

"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Changsun Wuji said with a smile, mentioning the green-skinned tortoise. Somehow, he couldn't help but think of his good friend Li Shimin. Hey, this tortoise is too green, too green.

It makes people a little panicked.

It is said that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, in order to suppress the power of the clan, abolished the "nine-rank Zhongzheng system" that had been in place since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and created the imperial examination system, which broke the class solidification of "there are no poor families in the upper grades, and no noble families in the lower grades", so that ordinary people also have the opportunity to become scholars.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he further improved the imperial examination system, vigorously attracted talents from the lower class, and completely broke the monopoly of the officialdom by powerful families.

However, the power of the Sui Dynasty was still very strong, and this situation even continued into the Tang Dynasty. In order to maintain or strengthen their own strength, the powerful families often choose to marry. The specific method is to pay close attention to the young talents of other powerful families. If

If there is a suitable one, he will betroth one's own girl to the other party first, thus forming a bundle of interests.

The practices of the Changsun family are no exception. Changsun Chi, Changsun Sheng's brother, has long been interested in Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, and intends to marry his niece, Changsun Wugao, into the Li family. However, Changsun Sheng, because of his daughter's age,

She declined because she was still young, but she didn't insist on saying anything. She wanted to wait and see for a few years before making a decision. So, the two families had entered into a vague verbal engagement.

It is said that Li Shimin has a handsome appearance, a bold and chivalrous person, and has made many friends at a young age. He and Changsun Wuji are considered young friends. They often gather together to discuss literature and martial arts, so he has many opportunities to meet Changsun Wuji.

Li Er is naturally very satisfied with this good-looking "fiancée" and takes great care of him. He always looks for opportunities to get close to her. However, although his eldest grandson Wugou is young, he has a very strict upbringing, especially after learning about the "engagement contract".

Pay attention, usually try to avoid Li Shimin to avoid rumors, which makes Li Er both happy and headache.

Back to the subject, Chang Sun Sheng and others sailed out of Gaojimo and returned to the canal. There was a three-story ship with a bow parked there. It was Chang Sun Sheng and his family who were riding in it. It was precisely because of the luxury of this bow ship that they just entered the Bohai Sea.

The county boundary was targeted by Zhang Jin's group of bandits.

Today, Zhang Jincheng's second-in-command, Sun Yan, led dozens of brothers and attacked the building ship before dawn, killing many boatmen. However, in the end, he was repelled by Chang Sun Sheng and other tribesmen, and Chang Sun

Wu Gu was unfortunately kidnapped by robbers.

As a result, Changsun Sheng and Gao Shilian took a small boat and chased them all the way into Gaojimo. Changsun Wuji, who was responsible for staying behind, was worried and stopped a fishing boat along the river. He also entered Gaojimo with only two servants, and then

Then what happened next.

Now the boatmen of the flat boat were scattered and dead, and the flat boat was seriously damaged, so it was naturally no longer possible to ride on it. After discussion, Chang Sun Sheng and Gao Shilian decided to go ashore and take the land route.

Fortunately, this place is not far from the county seat of Quan County. It only takes half an hour to walk there, so the group abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, heading towards the county seat of Quan County.

…

If swimming is Gao Bufan's first skill, then riding a horse is his second skill. In fact, almost everyone in the Gao family can ride a horse. After all, the family runs a horse farm. If you don't know how to ride a horse, wouldn't it be a joke?

Lose your teeth?

When Gao Bufan was three years old, I, Gao Kaishan, personally picked a pony and taught him to ride it. Gao Bufan also learned it very seriously. Firstly, it was because he really liked riding horses, and secondly, he was naturally prepared for the coming troubled times.

Make preparations.

Although Gao Bufan's historical knowledge is relatively lacking, he also knows that the Sui Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty. Like the powerful Qin Empire, they all ended in two generations. Yang Guang was the second and last emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

It will eventually be replaced by the Tang Dynasty.

The change of dynasties often means wars, and wars inevitably lead to the destruction of life. As the saying goes, in troubled times, people are worse than dogs. When living in troubled times, no one can be alone. He either lives as a hero in troubled times, or dies as a loser in troubled times. Gao Bufan naturally does not want to be.

The troubled times are at the mercy of others, so I have been working hard to make myself stronger. If you have more skills, you will naturally have more ability to survive.

Riding and archery is a necessary skill in troubled times. Gao Bufan was very lucky. After traveling to the Sui Dynasty, his family actually ran a horse racing farm. As the saying goes, first come first, get the moon. Gao Bufan naturally would not miss the great opportunity to practice riding and archery, so

He studied very hard, very hard, and achieved great results!

At the age of five, Gao Bufan could ride a big horse without a saddle in the pasture. At the age of ten, he could even stand on the back of a galloping horse and shoot an arrow. Although his accuracy was not perfect, at least he would not miss the target. This made the cheap man

Gao Kaishan was greatly relieved, sighing that the Gao family finally had a successor!

Let's say that the master and servant Gao Bufan left Gaojibo and followed a small river to a small village. They tied the fishing boat under the willow tree on the shore and prepared to go ashore and enter the village to retrieve their mounts.

This small village is called Liu'an Village, which is about thirty miles away from the Gao family's horse farm. Every time Gao Bufan goes to Gaoji Bo for swimming, he will first ride to Liu'an Village, store the horse in the village, and then row into the moor.

"Master Bufan, you came back just in time. A stranger stole your horse."

As soon as the three masters and servants of Gao Bufan entered the village, a little boy with a runny nose ran over with bare feet and complained loudly.

"Has our horse been stolen?" Gao Shou asked hurriedly.

The little boy sucked in the snot that flowed to his lips, shook his head and said, "No, the person was caught and tied under the big tree outside the ancestral hall. Muramasa said he would wait until Master Bufan comes back to deal with it."

"You scolded the guy next door for stealing our horse, and you'll be fine if you don't shit yourself!" Gao Shou and Gao Ren rolled up their sleeves and ran toward the ancestral hall in an aggressive manner.

Since the horse had not been stolen, Gao Bufan was not in a hurry. He took out two wild water chestnuts from his pocket and handed them to the little boy. The latter happily took them and started eating them without showing any signs of surprise.

Gao Bufan often comes to Liu'an Village, and he is never empty-handed every time. He always brings some novel gadgets or snacks to distribute to everyone. Moreover, Gao Bufan also invented many novel fishing tools, and the villagers caught fish after using them.
