"With this journey, how many days will it take to reach Suzhou?"
"After Changzhou is Suzhou. If everything goes well, we can reach it in seven days. But how did you get there? How did you get ahead of us?"
"It's a long story to talk about all these things, so I might as well not mention them."
Qin Sang smiled: "It's such a good time that I can see the young master, but it leaves me with a lot of troubles. If I arrive in Suzhou first, I will be worried about what my next plan will be!"
"Next step?" Xia Shang has not planned yet. He is still a mortal after all. The more things are happening now, the more things are going on, and not everything can be planned properly. "When we arrive in Suzhou, we should naturally find a place to stay first. I wonder if Chun Kui has given me any instructions.
What happened?"
"The principal has not made it clear yet. He only said that he will listen to the next step of the young master's arrangements. The final destination is in the future. There is a medical clinic called Baozhilin on Donglin Street in Suzhou City, which is another secret office of the Spring Textile Department. The owner of the medical clinic, Yu Ji, is
He is the fifth director of the Chun Textile Department, and has always been on good terms with Director Chun. We have already written to inform her that we will settle in her Baozhilin. However, on the surface, we still have to show that we obey the orders of the chief executive of the Chun Textile Department. Regarding the matter of the young master, we have not yet
It is inconvenient to disclose.”
"Yu Ji? I've never heard of a famous figure."
"My subordinates don't know. I only heard Chief Chun say that Yu Ji doesn't know martial arts, but she has the medical skills to bring the dead back to life. She is the most skilled in Chinese medicine among the twelve divisions."
"You can still be ranked fifth in the Chunfang Division, above Chun Kui, without knowing martial arts? It seems that he is also a difficult person. In the future, if you and I work together, my identity will be the external disciple of the Chunfang Division.
."
"But, our Spring Textile Department has always only had women."
"That's not the point. I have my own way to make her believe it."
"It's all up to the master, so when should I set off?"
"Take a short rest and set off immediately."
…
Half an hour later, Xia Shang and Liu Ruyan joined the team, with a group of more than 20 people and a total of seven carriages embarking on the journey to Suzhou.
Ye Xiaoyun stuck to the team like a piece of candy. He rode a white horse and followed the crowd. He stayed beside a girl, asking for help and doing everything.
"Girl, you must be a foreigner, right? If you are new to Taihu, you must come with me."
The girl didn't answer, so Ye Xiaoyun said: "Girl, I'm not talking nonsense. You all don't know that even though the mountains and rivers around Taihu Lake are beautiful, banditry is actually rampant here, which is much more brutal than that in Yangzhou and Hangzhou. Just the water around Taihu Lake
There were hundreds of camps, large and small, and the number of water pirates was no less than 50,000. The imperial government's annual crackdowns had no significant effect. It was almost impossible to eradicate them. They could only control the number of water pirates from increasing.
I see that there are dozens of people in the girl's group, but only a few people are protecting her. How can she live here safely? But now, I have Ye Xiaoyun as my companion. No matter how many gangsters come, as long as the girl is with me, I will keep her safe.
"
The girl ignored him, but Xia Shang, who was riding in front of him, listened. He couldn't help but feel suspicious, so he turned around and asked, "You said banditry is rampant here?"
"Of course. If you don't believe me, just ask around. Almost no one dares to take the path you are taking. Unless you are a team of hundreds of people, it depends on your luck."
"You said earlier that you were a water bandit, and you could be robbed on the road?"
"Brother, I don't understand. Bandits are very rampant nowadays. Even though they are water bandits, they can still do things like blocking roads. Especially big fat sheep like you, with a few incompetent escorts and a dozen or two
Ten beautiful flower girls will definitely be robbed if they are targeted."
What Ye Xiaoyun said was serious, and the girls who were indifferent at first gradually became nervous.
Although many of them are unwilling to be reduced to women in the world of mortals, they have gradually accepted and accustomed to today's life. In comparison, who would be willing to become a plaything in the hands of gangsters? Life at that time was much harder than it is now.
Qin Sang also became vigilant, walked to Xia Shang, and whispered: "Among the team, I am the only one who knows some kung fu. Although I am not afraid of mountain bandits, if they come in groups, how many people can you and I protect?"
?Still have to guard against it!"
Xia Shang naturally understood the truth, but when he saw Ye Xiaoyun's words, he seemed to understand him very well. What is his identity?
Ye Xiaoyun seemed to see Xia Shang's doubts and said frankly: "To be honest, I am a disciple of Liuyun Fairy. And Liuyun Fairy is famous among the Taihu generation, and both black and white have to give Liuyun Fairy some favor. Ye
A certain Bucai is the son of Ye Liuyun, the leader of the Liuyun Fairy Trail Sect, so he has me as his companion, so even if he encounters a robber on the mountain road, he will still give me some mercy."
Ye Liuyun’s son?
Xia Shang was shocked. If that was the case, having this son as his companion would be a gold medal for avoiding death.
Since the last time he was chased by the masters of Liuyun Sect, Xia Shang had done some investigation into Liuyun Fairy Trail afterwards.
The Liuyun Sect is well-known in Suzhou and Hangzhou. It is a well-known Jianghu force in the Jiangnan area. Its base is in Taihu Lake. It has been operating for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted in Taihu. All forces want to give the Liuyun Sect some face. And the leader of the Liuyun Sect
Ye Liuyun is also a leader in martial arts. Although he is not as good as the Great Perfection, he is only one step away from the Great Perfection. In the Taihu generation, the Liuyun Sect can be said to be the local emperor, especially Ye Liuyun. No one dares to disobey him.
Even these mountain bandits will stay away when they hear the name of Liuyun Xianzong.
This man calls himself Ye Liuyun's son. With him leading the way, there is really no need to worry.
"So, Brother Lao Ye will have to worry a lot about this journey."
"It's okay." Ye Xiaoyun chuckled, "It's just a little effort, but you have to listen to me. We have to take the waterway now, so that I can protect your safety."
"Why?"
"Because there are bandits who rob the road, there are also water bandits, and there is a mix of good and bad. Not every group of people will give my father face. Brothers should also know, who are there these days? Bandits are all desperate people who don't understand the rules.
They are different from the water bandits who have been stationed in Taihu Lake for a long time. Water bandits are easy to talk about because they have a base and follow the rules of the rivers and lakes. As long as you take the waterway, even if you encounter trouble, it is a water bandit. As long as they see me, they
They will all recede."
It makes sense to hear what the other party said.
But Xia Shang felt vaguely that something was wrong. As a result, the planned route changed. This was a taboo in action.
Also, Ye Xiaoyun was unfamiliar to him. If it weren't for the Liuyun Sanshou that had been revealed earlier, Xia Shang would not have listened to his nonsense.
Seeing that Xia Shang didn't answer for a long time, Ye Xiaoyun said again: "If brothers are worried, then we will go overland. If we encounter anyone who does not follow the rules, we will kill them all."
Xia Shang was just about to agree, but when he was making calculations secretly, there was an ominous sign.
It will be very difficult if we take the land route.
Furthermore, the waterway is not very smooth either.
In contrast, it seems that the ominous signs in the waterway are slightly less severe.
"No need, I believe what brother said, then I'll change the water route." (To be continued)
