Daming Junior Scholar

"Ah?" Yan Laoshi nodded quickly: "Exactly."

"Well, how about I trouble you to bring someone to take us across the river when it dawns?"

"Okay, okay, no problem." Hearing this, Yan Laoshi's hanging heart finally fell. It seems that these masters should just want to cross the river. If this is the case, maybe they can save their own lives. .

I'm afraid there are still two or three hours before dawn. Seeing that the dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, a heavy rain may be about to fall. If I kneel here like this, I am afraid that my knee will be scrapped in a short time. Thinking of this, Yan Laoshi quickly sneered and said, "Master, it's going to rain soon, why don't we go to my little house to take shelter from the rain first, you don't know how dangerous the rain by the river is, say Maybe even this place will be flooded in a while.”

Tang Yi only thought that Yan honestly was scaremongering, and didn't take his words seriously at all, but feeling the growing coolness, she also felt that it would be dangerous to wait here, so she hurriedly came to He Jiaan's side and asked, After getting He Jiaan's permission, he walked back.

Standing opposite Yan Laoshi, he said coldly: "My lord said, go to your house to take shelter from the rain now, but let's talk about the ugly things first, if you don't remember any bad intentions honestly... Huh, they are Your lesson from the past."

Chapter 1394 bullying the small with the big

When we entered the village, it rained from the sky. At first, it was just a thin drizzle, but after a while, it suddenly turned into a torrential downpour. After a short time, the small roads in the village formed small roads. The streams converge and flow to the Yangtze River not far away.

When the lamp was lit, He Jiaan finally saw clearly the honest Yan he was looking at, not to mention, just looking at his appearance, it was hard to imagine that he was actually a murderous bandit, so he looked at him again In this room, He Jia'an said with a light smile: "Your house is well built, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money."

"Not much, not much." Yan Laoshi shook his head quickly, for fear that He Jia'an would force him to hand over all the family's money if he became unhappy.

He Jiaan smiled: "Don't be afraid, as long as you send us there honestly, I won't care about your affairs here."

"Don't worry, my lord, I have no other intentions. I will send you across the Yangtze River safely when the rain stops." Yan Laoshi replied, patting his chest.

"That's good." He Jiaan nodded, as if he asked casually: "By the way, I remember that when I was downstream, there was a ferry called Caojiadu. Why is there no one there?"

"Hey, my lord is asking the right person about this matter. What else could it be because of those dogs in the court..."

Just as the official word was about to be uttered, Yan Laoshi suddenly remembered He Jiaan's identity, and he swallowed the official word in a daze, and quickly waved his hand: "My lord, I'm not talking about you."

"It's okay, keep talking." He Jiaan waved his hand disapprovingly.

As soon as these words started, Yan Laoshi didn't mean to stop. Tang Yi had already moved the lit stove over. After lighting the charcoal fire, the temperature in the room had increased significantly. With the rain outside With a voice, Yan Laoshi began to complain about his life.

Like many people, Yan Laoshi was not a bandit at the beginning. He used to ferry here for a living at Yanjiadu, and he was able to run two or three times a day on the Yangtze River. Although it was hard work, the money he earned every day Not a lot, it must be enough to support the family.

But just half a year ago, a group of officials came to my ferry, saying that they were ordered by the prince to transfer all the boats here. You must know that this boat is the fate of Yan Honest, so what can I do without a boat? What about supporting a family?

And what made him even more angry was that these people not only wanted to rob his own boat, but even the fishing villages in the village. This really annoyed everyone in the village. As soon as the brothers flicked, Yan Laoshi killed the official with a knife.

Anyway, to kill one is to kill, and to kill two is to kill. The crowd killed all these people at once, and the corpses were stripped of their clothes and thrown into the Yangtze River.

After a few more days in this anxiety, no one came to investigate this matter, Yan Laoshi couldn't help becoming more courageous, and started to start a gangster business, and gradually the nearby boatmen who had been robbed of their boats all When I got together, my manpower gradually increased, and my courage became more and more inflated. Until today, when I heard that there were dozens of war horses, I wanted to snatch the horses back, but unexpectedly, I was shot and killed by the He family. Most of the staff.

After the story was finished, there was nothing attractive about it. The only thing He Jiaan paid attention to was Yan Laoshi's opening sentence. After a little thought, he asked, "Do you know who that prince is?"

"It seems to be... King Ning." Yan Laoshi hesitated and gave his own answer.

As expected, it seems that King Ning moved fast enough, and he has already started to prepare for crossing the river, but his action may be too early, if he puts the boat away so early, isn't he afraid of scaring the snake away? ?

After thinking about it, He Jia'an didn't know what the hell King Ning was doing. Maybe this was Wang Lun's idea, and it should be a rainy day.

He Jiaan didn't want to listen to the next story. He couldn't speak of sympathy or pity for Yan Laoshi's experience. He went from an ordinary boatman to the present stage. It's hard to say that he was forced out step by step. After all, he did it. How many people may have died under his hands over the years, and it is already an extrajudicial favor to keep him alive.

Thinking of this, He Jia'an didn't intend to let him go, so he spread a few floor mats randomly in this room, and then lay down. Only Ji Yuelin Shuying and Du Juan were arranged in the inner room, and everyone began to fall asleep.

When He Jiaan opened his eyes again, he suddenly found that the sky outside was already bright, but what gave him a headache was that the rain outside was not only not small, but it became much bigger. Seeing that He Jiaan had woken up, his face Du Juan hurriedly came over with a sad face: "Uncle, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, what should we do now?"

You ask me, who do I ask, He Jiaan can't help feeling a little regretful, he knew that he would encounter this kind of situation, and he would have set off one day earlier, but who would have expected that he would be delayed here.

After being tied up for half a night, the rope on Yan Laoshi's body was finally untied. He moved his body, looked at the sky outside, and said firmly, "Don't worry, my lord. I'm afraid the rain will last for another two or three days." can stop."

"What, two or three days?" He Jia'an was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "How can this work, isn't this delaying things?"

"Yes, we really have urgent matters, and we can't afford to delay here."

Yan Laoshi spread his hands and said with a helpless expression: "You two tell me these things, there is nothing a villain can do. I am not in charge of this. We can only wait now."

Wait, this is the most helpless choice, He Jiaan hesitated for a moment, looked at the raindrops in the sky, turned his head and asked: "If it is light rain, can we go?"

"Little rain is fine, but my lord, after the rain, the water in the Yangtze River is much more dangerous. It is still very dangerous to cross the river rashly."

"Then do you have any good way to let us cross the river as soon as possible?"

"Well..." Yan Laoshi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth suddenly and said, "Why don't you go up [-] miles from here, and there is a water village built by officers and soldiers. , but there are still a few big boats, so it shouldn’t be difficult to cross the river, but you have to pay some money to do it.”

After calculating the time, He Jia'an still felt that waiting here is not an option. It will take two or three days to wait for the rain to stop, and then the water level will drop before sailing. In this way, ten days and a half months may have passed, Xie Qin The poison on Hu's body can only last for seven days, what if Jian Bai threatened her with this in that week?

So, after much deliberation, He Jiaan decided to take a risk, and after telling everyone to eat, he put on his coir raincoat and walked to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Chapter 1395

Chapter 1395

The rain poured down.

The raindrops that were just a little smaller just now fell cruelly in the blink of an eye. In the storm, a group of people were working hard to withstand the wind and rain. They didn't rush in until they encountered a ruined temple passing by, and took a short rest. meeting.

"Sir, it's too dangerous to go on like this, why don't we rest here for a while." Lin Shuying walked over from behind, persuading with a complicated expression.

Looking at the vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth, He Jia'an knew in his heart that even if Lin Shuying didn't persuade him, he couldn't go on. Not to mention the danger, I'm afraid people and horses wouldn't be able to hold on, and he could only look forward to Xie Qinhu. If you persist for a while, you will soon save her.

Nodding his head, He Jiaan glanced back, his eyes revealing a trace of inquiry: "Is everyone alright?"

"Sir, Brother Eleven's leg is hurt." Tang Xiao, the youngest, raised his hand hastily.

"You are everywhere, shut your mouth." Tang Yi glared at Tang Xiao, then shook her head at He Jiaan: "Sir, don't listen to him, my leg is fine, let's take a rest, it's okay Keep going."

Looking at Tang Yi's pale face, He Jia'an shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, we have already tried our best, since God doesn't want us to go, then let's stay here for a while, Tang Xiao, what do you think?" Find some dry firewood to burn hot water, and our husband will dry the clothes with the fire."

"Sir." Tang Yi wanted to say something, but was blocked by He Jiaan's hand, and he came to Tang Yi's side and asked, "Where did you get hurt?"

"It's really just a minor injury." Tang Yi seemed to want to hide something, but He Jiaan saw that something was wrong with his right leg, so he stretched out his hand and pulled up his trouser leg, and then a bloody handkerchief then appeared in front of oneself.

Seeing this, He Jiaan couldn't help complaining: "It's all like this, why didn't you say it earlier, Shuying..."

Lin Shuying who was behind hurried over, opened the oiled paper bag she was carrying, took out dry gauze and Jinchuang medicine from it, and handed it to He Jiaan.

"Sir, let me do it myself." Tang Yi wanted to take the gauze with some unease, but He Jiaan opened his hand and sighed softly: "If I get hurt, you will protect me from the wind and rain." , if you are injured, what should I do? I'd better sit down for a while, this can be regarded as a lesson I taught you. "

Tang Yi finally sat on the ground. When He Jiaan tore off the handkerchief he had tied up casually, a wound four fingers wide was exposed. When the handkerchief was removed, blood gushed out from the wound again.

He Jiaan's action was very fast. First, he tightly strangled Tang Yi's thigh with a rope. When the bleeding was less, he carefully scraped off the nearby dead flesh with a knife, and then covered it with a thick layer of Jinchuang medicine. , wrapped in gauze.

After letting go of the rope tied to his thigh, He Jiaan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "If there are no accidents, your leg is considered to be saved, but in the days to come, you can only be honest. Riding on the horseback, don't move easily."

"Ah..." Upon hearing that she couldn't move freely, Tang Yi couldn't help but grimace.
