The ferry on the other side is slightly smaller than the Linjiang City ferry.
There are also fewer ships, and most of them are merchant ships loading and unloading goods.
There were some gang members engaged in water transportation standing on the shore patrolling.
A ship floated up in the river, and someone immediately threw a rope.
"Hey, Uncle Zhang, you still dare to accept guests!"
The young leader of the water transport gang on the shore laughed and teased the old boatman.
The old boatman was not angry and sighed: "What can I do? I have to keep working. The rest of my family is waiting for me to earn money to buy food!"
"But you'd better pay attention to things like water ghosts. I don't want to help you collect the corpses then."
The little boss knew that the old boatman was bolder than the average person, otherwise he would not dare to talk to the people in his gang like this.
"You're talking nonsense!" The old boatman glared at the little boss.
At this time, the ship docked, and several people in the cabin came out.
Cao Su glanced at the little leader of the water transport and consciously paid two copper coins.
The boat passengers behind also followed suit and all paid tolls.
"Let's go!"
The little leader waved his hand, and the disciples from the water transportation gang behind him moved out of the way.
Cao Su and others immediately left the ferry.
After leaving the ferry, Cao Su glanced at the direction and prepared to use his skills.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly spoke behind him.
"Brother, please stay!"
Cao Su looked back and saw that it was Senior Brother Lei from the Floating Shadow Sword Sect who had just arrived by boat.
Cao Su frowned: "Is something wrong?"
When Brother Lei first saw Cao Su, he knew that this person was not easy to mess with. Later, Cao Su took the initiative to ask for money from the boatman, which proved that this person was quite chivalrous.
Later on the boat, they talked about any topic.
Cao Su never said a word, and even seemed not to listen.
Even when he talked about the three major sects, demons and Buddhas, and other words that would shock all warriors, Cao Su's face remained calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Senior Brother Lei immediately felt that this man was calm and measured, quite extraordinary, and he immediately wanted to make friends with him.
He greeted Cao Su with a smile, raised his hands and clasped his fists and saluted: "This brother, I'm here with the floating shadow sword sect Lei Qi. Seeing that your brother is walking like a dragon and a tiger, he has extraordinary bearing. I guess you must be a hero in the world, so I came here to ask for your name.
.”
Asking for the name?
Cao Su knew that there was a kind of person in the world who would call everyone he met and make friends with them.
These people are all sick, and the symptom of a terminal illness is that they come to drink when they are called brothers, and then they become sworn brothers.
But this kind of people are generally very heroic, righteous, and quite chivalrous.
If you mix well and have high martial arts skills, you will get some strange names.
But how could Cao Su really give him a name?
So he refused directly and coldly, fully portraying a cold image: "I am just a nobody here, not worth mentioning. I will see you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Senior Brother Lei could speak again, he immediately broke into a sprint.
He rushed out a dozen steps and disappeared in front of their eyes in a few flashes.
In the distance, the other three disciples of the Floating Shadow Sword Sect standing at the ferry were secretly laughing at Senior Brother Lei.
"Senior Brother Lei is good at everything. He just likes to make friends with people everywhere. That person never said a word the whole way and made it clear that he doesn't want to talk to us. We still have to get in touch with each other on our own. Is that interesting?"
"Yes, when the man got on the boat, he asked us to give the boatman extra money. Although it wasn't much, it made people feel uncomfortable."
"You'll know you're wrong when Brother Lei gets rejected. It's just a waste of time."
"Senior Brother Lei is very stubborn. He won't think that he is wrong. Next time he meets such a person, he will come up to talk to him. That's why he has such shame. I can't do it. I have to change it.
I just took the sword and forced him to change boats at the ferry."
The three of them secretly glanced at Senior Brother Lei and the warrior who was crossing with them, and saw that the two of them had said less than two words before the warrior left.
Sure enough! Several people laughed secretly.
But the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore. Cao Su stood up and stepped too fast and loudly.
With a bang, it broke through the ground.
The speed is as fast as a cannonball, which is very scary.
Several people's faces turned pale when they saw it, a warrior in the realm of strength!
The person who came over in the same boat with them was actually a force realm warrior, and judging from his posture, he seemed to be a master among the force realm warriors!
Strength realm warriors are almost the ceiling in a less powerful sect like the Floating Shadow Sword Sect. You must know that the leader Wu Shengsheng was only a low-level strength realm warrior.
"This, this, this..."
In the past, if warriors in the power realm did not restrain their aura, there would be oppressive force on their bodies.
Several people on the boat did not feel the pressure from Cao Su, and thought that Cao Su was just an ordinary Qi-blood warrior.
No wonder people don't want to talk to them, because they are not on the same level at all.
Only then did the three disciples realize that everything had become a reasonable assumption. They never thought that people might really not want to talk to them.
They ran over quickly and saw Lei Qi's look of regret.
"Senior Brother Lei, what did you say?"
Senior Brother Xi had a look of pity on his face. If you knew he was a martial artist in the realm of strength, he would definitely come up and make some acquaintances. Making friends is not a shabby job. Traveling around the world, many friends lead to many paths.
Lei Qi shook his head: "I didn't say anything. This master doesn't want to reveal his name. It's a pity."
No name?
The three of them believed that Lei Qi must not be telling lies, and they felt both regretful and fortunate at the same time.
If you don't make friends with anyone else, then there seems to be no loss for you.
"Let's go. We've been delayed for a while. Master can't wait any longer."
Senior Brother Lei left with a slight regret. This was a rare case of his failure to make friends. Generally speaking, when people in the world saw him being so generous, they would definitely have no problem being friends, not to mention sworn friendships.
"There is no rush now. I was mainly worried about the lack of boats at the ferry. After crossing the Huanjiang River, it will only take a moment to see the master."
Senior Brother Xi said with a smile.
Senior Brother Lei nodded: "That's what you said, but we can't keep Master waiting for a long time. Let's go quickly."
At Lei Qi's urging, several people bought a few horses on the ferry to use as foot power.
He left here soon.
........
On the official road in the mountains.
An army of more than a thousand people walked slowly.
The breeze in the mountains is blowing the flag with the word "Cao".
The road is rugged and difficult to navigate, and there are some mud pits that hinder the movement of baggage trucks.
Fortunately, everyone was very strong, so when they encountered some difficult mud pits, they helped us get through them.
"Master Cao said, don't rush to march. Brothers, practice your kung fu well. Don't lose your life due to lack of martial arts skills on the battlefield."
Some newcomers in the army who came from Dengcheng accepted Master Cao's new ideas in this way.
Strive to sweat more during peacetime and bleed less during war.
There are a lot of people in the army of more than a thousand people, and there can be long queues in the mountains.
At night, the officer ordered the troops to stay where they were.
There were no troops behind or behind, so they all gathered together as much as possible, lit bonfires, and reported to the group to keep warm.
The night is as dark as ink, and the forest is silent.
A figure flashed from the forest and stepped into Cao Jun's camp.
It was so fast that the centurion on night watch did not notice him.
But when he stepped outside the tallest and largest tent, a low shout came from the tent.
"who?"
Zhao Xi made a warning sound, and Cao Su reached out and flicked the long knife in his hand.
"it's me."
Cao Su walked into the camp.
Zhao Xi turned pale with fright, and quickly fell to his knees with a plop.
Just now I actually showed my sword to Mr. Cao...
Cao Su waved his hand: "It's okay, get up, your alertness is good."
"Sir, stop joking."
Zhao Xi was so miserable that he wanted to cry.
After not seeing him for two days, his eyes were bloodshot and he was about to collapse.
"Sir, please don't let me do this kind of thing again. Two days. Do you know how I came here in the past two days? These centurions who want to see you are about to beat me to death. I am a Qi-blood warrior.
, How can He De stop so many power realm masters?"
"Can you imagine a group of force realms surrounding me?"
Cao Su felt a little embarrassed when Zhao Xi complained about him like this.
But what’s wrong with being a leader? Doesn’t it just give subordinates a chance to exercise and grow?
He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, Zhang Ke, don't Luo Yi and the others know about it? Didn't they help you cover?"
Speaking of Zhang Ke, Zhao Xi got even more excited. He stood up and cursed angrily: "Stop talking, Zhang Ke is really unreliable. I asked him to find someone similar in size to you, but he
You brought Shi Yong to me."
"Is there such a thing as this? I'm not targeting Shi Yong, I'm just talking about the matter. Shi Yong's breakthrough is imminent. If one day he suddenly breaks through the power realm, there will be quite a stir."
"Then our sergeants will all be confused. How can we break through the power realm a second time?"
Cao Su couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Zhao Xi complaining.
He had no choice but to smooth things over first and said: "Okay, okay, I didn't think well this time. The main reason is that the matter was too urgent and I was not fully prepared."
"I promise I won't do it next time! I won't make it so difficult for you next time."
Zhao Xi didn't really want to complain about Zhang Ke and the others. He was just very nervous and under too much pressure these past two days.
Hearing Cao Su say this, he felt a little embarrassed, and clasped his fists and said: "Sir, do you want me to notify the centurions to get up now and hold an emergency meeting, so that you can show your face again and let these centurions relax?
.”
Cao Su laughed dumbly. Zhao Xi's suggestion was very inhumane and would disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night.
He has always been considerate of his subordinates, but would never do such a thing.
"Go and call Zhang Ke over for me. Don't call others yet."
Zhao Xi was overjoyed and immediately shouted yes.
He stepped out of the camp with great energy and rushed to deliver orders.
