Before the water bandits got on the boat, shopkeeper Liu hid in the deepest part of the cabin and hid in the cargo pile, shivering with fear. Therefore, he had no idea what was going on outside the cabin. Xu Zizhen's words shocked him.
Is there such a master? Without saying a word, he and Xu Zizhen walked down the cabin together.
There is not much space in the cabin, and most of it is stacked with cargo. There are also four small cabins, one of which is occupied by Xu Zizhen and Li Meng, and another one is owned by the shopkeeper himself, plus another room with water and food.
, in the end there was only one room left which belonged to Liu Fengsui.
The place where goods are stored is crowded, and they are all real goods. It is impossible to hide people. The rooms are also very small, and the furniture is extremely simple. You can see it at a glance when you open the door. Looking around, all three rooms are full of stuff.
It was empty, but when Liu Fengsui opened the door, he was seen with a pale face and cold sweat on his forehead. He was rubbing his hands and walking around the room, looking frightened and at a loss.
Xu Zizhen stood at the door and did not go in for the time being, but secretly looked at Liu Fengsui. There were actually many weird things about this scholar, such as why such a weak scholar would travel from Jiangnan to the northwest alone, and how could he have such a good drinker.
In addition, Xu Zizhen saw clearly that when the water bandits first boarded the boat, although his face looked panicked, his eyes were clear.
Liu Fengsui heard a noise at the door and turned around suddenly. When he saw it was them, his face suddenly lit up with joy: "Ah, could it be that the water bandits have retreated?" Just after he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Xu Zizhen and said,
"Brother Xu is indeed very skilled. You have defeated so many water bandits? I am so impressed! I am so impressed!"
Shopkeeper Liu looked around and asked, "Mr. Liu, can you see anyone in the cabin?"
Liu Feng said curiously: "Human? There is no one else here except me. I wonder who Shopkeeper Liu wants to find?"
Xu Zizhen looked into his eyes and said, "Mr. Liu, did you really not see anyone else?"
He pronounced the word "others" with a stronger accent, and carefully watched Liu Fengsui's reaction, but Liu Fengsui seemed to have nothing to do with him, and still looked surprised: "Is there really someone else?
?This...Oh, Xiaosheng is so frightened that he doesn't see anyone else."
Xu Zizhen was about to say something more when he suddenly noticed that Liu Fengsui glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. There was something strange in his eyes. He felt an inexplicable shiver in his heart. He immediately stopped talking and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm dazzled.
Maybe the expert didn't want to see us after helping us and had already disembarked."
Li Meng opened his mouth at the side and was about to speak. Xu Zizhen hurriedly touched him lightly. Li Meng immediately understood and closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned: "Getting off the boat? This is on the Yangtze River!"
Xu Zizhen said matter-of-factly: "Shopkeeper Liu, don't you know that there is a martial art called iron palm floating on water? People can cross the Yangtze River with just a stick of firewood, and they don't even need to bring wet shoes."
Shopkeeper Liu was very surprised, and then sighed with emotion: "Is there really such a master in the world? Oh, then I am blind, I didn't get to meet him, no chance, no chance." After saying that, he shook his head with regret and left the room muttering,
Arrange for the boatman to clean up the blood stains on the deck.
The corner of Liu Fengsui's mouth twitched slightly, watching Xu Zizhen talking nonsense there. As soon as shopkeeper Liu left, Xu Zizhen closed the door and said to Li Meng: "Xiao Meng, why don't you thank your savior quickly?"
Li Meng fell to his knees, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you so much!"
Liu Fengsui looked helpless, and quickly helped Li Meng up, shaking his head and saying: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I have been hiding for many days, but my whereabouts were revealed right here."
Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "Young Master Liu, you are so good at pretending. No matter how I look at you, you look like a serious scholar. I didn't expect that your dart skills are so handsome!"
Liu Fengsui looked at Li Meng and smiled: "If this kid hadn't been in danger, I really don't want to expose his whereabouts... Anyway, this is fate or luck." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Zizhen again, with a smile in his eyes.
Not smiling.
Xu Zizhen was startled for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, please don't worry, only we and I know about this, and I will never tell anyone else."
Li Meng also looked serious: "Me too!"
Liu Feng smiled and touched Li Meng's head: "It doesn't have to be so serious. Even if the person who wants to find me has information about me, I won't let him see him if I don't want to see him."
Xu Zizhen nodded and said: "I believe this. Mr. Liu's skill in dressing up is very good. You can pretend to be whatever you want. If it weren't for such a big place in the cabin, I would have thought you were just a weak scholar.
Yeah, tsk tsk...you even look like seasick."
Liu Fengsui laughed loudly: "I'm ashamed of myself. I really don't know the nature of water. I didn't mean to pretend."
The two looked at each other and laughed, and Li Meng was also smiling sillyly at the side, because he was also a landlubber.
After laughing, Liu Fengsui suddenly asked: "Brother Xu, I heard that you went to Lanzhou this time to deal with the Xixia soldiers?"
Xu Zizhen nodded: "Yes, I didn't hide it from Brother Liu. This time, firstly, it was to return a favor, and secondly..." He pointed at Li Meng, "His father and I hit it off, and he died tragically a few days ago.
In the hands of the Xixia people, this time I will accompany him to bury his father's bones back to his hometown and seek revenge from the Xixia people."
Liu Fengsui glanced at Li Meng and said with some surprise: "Oh? Is Xiao Meng actually from Xixia?"
Li Meng shook his head: "My father is from Xixia, and my mother is from Han. Besides, I think there is no difference between people, so why bother fighting all day long, making the people miserable? In the end, it is the people who suffer.
"
Liu Feng suddenly clapped his palms and praised loudly: "Okay! Xiao Meng said that well! I didn't expect that at such a young age, you are already caring about the country and the people. It's rare, extremely rare!"
Li Meng scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, I just followed my father around a lot in the past few years. Besides... besides, those words were actually what my Uncle Xu often said, I just copied them.
Just come here."
Liu Fengsui laughed and said, "That's already very difficult. How many young men like you, Lang Shang, only know how to play, how can they have such a state of mind and mind as you?" He paused and suddenly laughed,
"Xiao Meng, what do you think of my copper coin dart skills?"
Although Li Meng was a little introverted, he was not stupid at all. Hearing this, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Uncle Liu, are you willing to teach me?"
Liu Feng smiled and nodded: "I am destined to be with you, so I will teach you the art of flying darts and moving rocks. In addition... I also have a set of marksmanship passed down from my family, and I will also pass it on to you. How about it?"
Li Meng didn't hesitate at all. He rolled over on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said: "Master is here, please bow to me as a disciple!"
Liu Feng helped him up with a smile. He was obviously very satisfied with this apprentice. Xu Zizhen looked at all this with a smile, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Liu, Xiaomeng has knocked on his head. If you don't mind it,
