The boat sailed along the winding waterway toward the canal outside Gaojimo. The little loli Changsun Wugui looked at the duckweed drifting with the waves behind the boat in a daze. He couldn't help but lit up and murmured to himself: "Meet by chance...Meet by chance, so that's it. This word is really useful."

Changsun Wuji next to him nodded after hearing this, saying, "This word is indeed used wonderfully and is quite novel. I didn't expect that a rude man from the village had such talent. It's strange!"

Changsun Wugui gave him a blank look: "Young Master Gao is not a reckless man."

"Look at his body of tendons, he was so black that he was so black that he ran to the mountains, rivers and wild lakes in broad daylight. He looked like a scholar, and what was it that he was not a reckless man in the village?" Changsun Wuji hummed, obviously still a little resentful about the title "Little Fatty".

Changsun Wugui shook his head and said lightly: "Brother judges people by their appearance, but they are inferior. What's more, although they are a little bit dark, they have a good conversation and have written a essay. If they are about essays, they may not be as good as others. If they are about martial arts, they are afraid that their brother will be even worse, so they will not be more sensible. The brother is always rough. If Gao Jun is a reckless man, then his brother will be even more reckless man."

Changsun Wuji's face turned red and said unhappy: "Guanyin maid, why are you turning your arms out and helping others harm your biological brother?"

"I just talk about the matter." Changsun Wugui said helplessly.

Changsun Wuji was so sour: "Okay, okay, my brother is a reckless man, Gao Bufan is not. He is handsome, handsome, gentle, humble and polite, talented, unparalleled in the world, and will be defeated if he is not talented!"

Changsun Wugui burst out laughing: "Brother, don't be sour, you are a little better than Mr. Gao."

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

"You are not as thick-skinned as him!" Changsun Wugui giggled after saying that, and his clear eyes turned into beautiful moon buds.

Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, but his sister was indeed right. The black guy said arrogantly that he was handsome, and his tone was so sure and natural, so he deserved to be beaten... Hey!

Changsun Wuji suddenly exclaimed lightly, staring at Changsun Wugui with a worried look on his face. 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 who were chatting at the bow of the boat like a thief, and asked in a low voice: "Guanyin Bi, do you like that Gao Bufan?"

Changsun Wugui's pretty face turned red and he said with a hint of shame: "No, don't talk nonsense!"

Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted himself in his chest and said, "It's okay, otherwise what if Brother Shimin?"

"Dad, brother bullies me!" Changsun Wugui stomped his feet and was angry.

Changsun Sheng and Gao Shilian came over when they heard the reputation. Changsun Wuji blushed and quickly waved his hands and shook his head, saying incoherently: "I...I don't, I...I just ask Guanyinbi if she wants to drink turtle soup."

Changsun Wuji became wise in a hurry and pointed to the tied green-skinned turtle and said loudly.

Changsun Sheng nodded: "Wugu is weak, so it's just right to drink turtle soup."

"The boy turned around and ordered someone to stew the turtle." Changsun Wuji said as he turned his eyes to Changsun Wugui, who turned his face and just ignored it.

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

Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down beside Changsun Wugui, bowed with a flattering face and said, "For brother, please give me this experience, otherwise my father should scold me again, it's very miserable!"

Changsun Wugui then turned anger and laughed, "See if you dare to arrange it randomly in the future."

"I dare not do it anymore!" Changsun Wuji smiled and lifted the green-skinned turtle. For some reason, he couldn't help but think of his good friend Li Shimin. Hey, this turtle is too green, so green that it makes people feel a little panicked.

It is said that in order to suppress the aristocratic forces, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian abolished the "nine-rank system" since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and created the imperial examination system, breaking the class solidification of "the top-rank has no poor families, and the lower-rank has no aristocratic families", giving ordinary people the opportunity to become officials and join the upper class of society. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he further improved the imperial examination system, vigorously absorbed talents from the lower class, and completely broke the monopoly of the aristocratic families over the officialdom.

However, the Sui Dynasty's aristocratic power was still very strong, and this situation even continued until the Tang Dynasty. In order to maintain or strengthen their own strength, aristocratic families often choose to marry. The specific approach is to closely monitor the young talents of other aristocratic families. If there is a suitable one, they should betrothed their own women to the other party in order to form a bond of interests, prosper and lose together.

The Changsun family's approach is no exception. Changsun Chi, also known as Changsun Sheng's brother, had long been attracted by Li Shimin, the second son of Duke Tang Li Yuan, and intended to marry his niece Changsun Wugui into the Li family. However, Changsun Sheng politely declined on the grounds that his daughter was still young, but did not say anything to death. It meant to observe how many years it would be before making a decision. Therefore, the two families had a vague oral engagement.

It is said that Li Shimin looks great and is generous and chivalrous. He has a wide range of friendships at a young age. He is a young friend with Changsun Wuji. He often gathers in a conversation about literature and martial arts, so he has many opportunities to meet Changsun Wugui. Li Er is naturally very satisfied with this "fiancee" with both good character and appearance, and always looks for opportunities to get close to him. However, although Changsun Wugui is young, his family tutoring is very strict. Especially after learning about the "engagement contract", he pays more attention. He usually avoids Li Shimin to avoid some rumors, which makes Li Er both happy and headache.

Let’s get back to the point, Changsun Sheng and others drove out of Gaojipo and returned to the canal. There was a three-story boat parked there, which was exactly where Changsun Sheng and his family rode. It was precisely because of the luxury of this forecastle boat that Zhang Jin said was targeted by this group of robbers as soon as he entered the Bohai County territory.

Today, Zhang Jincheng's second leader Sun Yan brought dozens of brothers and took advantage of the dawn to attack the building ship and killed many ship workers. However, he was finally repelled by Changsun Sheng and his troops, and Changsun Wugui was unfortunately hijacked by robbers.

So, Changsun Sheng and Gao Shilian took people to chase them all the way into Gaojipo on a small boat. Changsun Wuji, who was in charge of the staying behind, was worried and blocked a fishing boat along the river, and only two servants also entered Gaojipo. Then what happened later happened.

Now the boat workers are scattered and the boat is seriously damaged, so naturally they can't take it anymore. After discussing with Gao Shilian, Changsun Sheng and Gao Shilian decided to land on land.

Fortunately, it was not far from the county town of Xixian County. It took half an hour to walk, so the group abandoned their boats and headed towards the county town of Xixian 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 big laugh?

When Gao Bufan was three years old, I personally picked a little horse to teach him how to ride. Gao Bufan also learned very seriously, because he really liked riding horses, and naturally prepared for the upcoming troubled times.

Although Gao Bufan had relatively lack of historical knowledge, he also knew that the Sui Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty. Like the powerful Qin Empire, it ended in two lifetimes. Yang Guang was the second emperor and the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty would eventually be replaced by the Tang Dynasty.

The change of dynasties often means war, and war will inevitably lead to misery. As the saying goes, people are not as good as dogs in troubled times. When they are born in troubled times, no one can survive alone. They either become heroes in troubled times or die for grass in troubled times. Gao Bufan naturally does not want to be a grass in troubled times that can be slaughtered by others, so he has been working hard to become stronger. If one more skill, he will naturally have more ability to survive.

Riding and shooting is a must-have in troubled times. Gao Bufan was very lucky. After traveling to the Sui Dynasty, his family actually opened a horse farm. As the saying goes, the moon will be the first to get close to the water. Gao Bufan will naturally not miss the great opportunity to practice riding and shooting, so he studied hard, worked hard, and achieved remarkable results!

At the age of five, Gao Bufan could ride a tall horse without a saddle and gallop on the ranch. At the age of ten, he could even stand on the back of a speeding horse and shoot arrows. Although the accurate head almost ignites the fire, at least he will not lose the target. This made me feel very relieved by Gao Kaishan and Lao Huai, lamenting that the Gao family finally has a successor!

Let’s talk about Gao Bufan’s master and servant who drove away from Gaojipo, walked along a small river to a small village, tied the fishing boat under the willow tree on the shore, and prepared to land in the village to retrieve the mount.

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 Gaojipo to swim, he will first ride a horse to Liu'an Village, store the horses in the village, and then row and moor.

"Young Master Bufan, you are back just in time. A foreigner stole your horse."

As soon as Gao Bufan and his servant entered the village, a little boy with a snot ran over with his bare feet and shouted for complaint.

"Our horse was stolen?" Gao Shou asked hurriedly.

The little boy sucked the snot that flowed to his lips, shook his head and said, "No, the person was caught, so he was tied to the big tree outside the ancestral hall. The village said he would wait for Young Master Bufan to come back before dealing with it."

"I scolded the next door and dared to steal our horses. If you don't beat the shit, you will be clean!" Gao Shou and Gao Ren rolled up their sleeves and ran towards the ancestral hall with great momentum.

Since the horse was not stolen, Gao Bufan was not in a hurry. He took out two wild horns from his pocket and handed them to the little boy. The latter happily took them and started to eat them, without seeing them at all.
