"Brother, I was originally thinking that you would give me some ideas during the period before my wedding. Why do you have to go home?" Zhang Haoran was very reluctant to give up.
"I'm a rebellious person, and the thing I'm most unaccustomed to is following rules, and weddings are the most disciplined. What advice can I give you for your wedding? Aren't you afraid that your old man will really let you copy "Xia Li"?"
Zhang Haoran thought for a long time, that's right...
"Then when will you come? Three days in advance? Five days? I'm still asking you to marry me."
Lin Su turned his head to the sky, looked into the distance, and finally bravely met his friend's ardent expectations: "Brother, I'm so sorry, I... have something important that day. I will definitely not be able to make it when you pay your respects, but I will try my best to
Try your best to arrive before you go to bed..."
Zhang Haoran's expression changed: "What on earth is going on?"
Ahem... If you don't tell your sister, I'll tell you the truth. This matter goes back a year...
Zhang Haoran's expression changes. A princess in the Abyss of No Way? As agreed last year, she only has the chance to go out of the Abyss every two-quarters of an hour when the gate opens...
"Okay, okay, I understand!" Zhang Haoran sighed longly: "A gentleman lives by his word and keeps his word. From Haining to the capital, it is three thousand miles away. How can it be possible to get there in half a day? You can get there in three days.
It's fun enough if you arrive, but it would be even better if you give me a colorful poem as a gift when the time comes!"
Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Haoran was different from Zhang Yiyu. The elder brother was still reasonable.
Well, let’s make an agreement!
After saying goodbye to Zhang Haoran and entrusting him to say goodbye to several other brothers, Lin Su stepped out of the city gate and headed to the dock.
He was in no hurry to return to Haining from the capital. He was just resting and recuperating anyway. It didn't matter if he went home one day earlier or one day later. Therefore, Lin Su planned to ride a boat down the Yangtze River like a regular scholar.
Beautiful scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The world is pristine, and the cool autumn air is perfect for traveling.
Is life meant to be enjoyed and rushed to be reincarnated?
After walking through the green willows outside the city, crossing the official road, and witnessing the great changes in the lives of the refugees, handsome man Lin walked to the pier very comfortably.
On the pier, the situation of huge crowds of people heading to Haining has changed.
The refugees in the capital have found a livelihood and no longer blindly travel three thousand miles to try to get lucky. The dock is finally back to normal.
No, there are also some abnormalities. Several ships are ready to go, and the cargo inside is soap. The boss of the ship is a foreigner, a businessman from the Red Kingdom. He and his friends are very happy, saying that he has connections in the capital, and finally got this cargo. Once
If it is transported to the Red Country, the royal family of that country will definitely be able to capture it...
Lin Su smiled. This is the advantage of building a factory in Beijing. Once a good product comes out, it can be sold abroad at a faster speed.
There are several small boats in front of them. Small is a relative term. Compared with the local boats in Haining, these boats are relatively large. They have rooms and platforms inside, which are very suitable for fun.
Lin Su walked along a bridge made of wooden planks and walked towards one of the boats. Halfway there, a man came over from the bow of the boat and pointed his finger lightly at the tip of Lin Su's nose: "Stop!"
Lin Su stopped and stood on the swaying bridge.
"This ship has been outsourced by the bell clerk. No one is allowed to board the ship."
Lin Su looked at the signboard on the pier: "Isn't this a ferry to Huichang? You chartered it and no one else is allowed to get on it?"
What is a ferry? In fact, it is a public bus in this era. It is under the jurisdiction of the government and builds bridges connecting the capital and major state capitals. It is normal to charter a boat and a car, but have you ever seen a chartered bus that does not allow others to get on?
The person said: "It's a ferry, but my lady is Xijing, and the staff has given me enough silver, so why can't I book it?"
If you pay enough, can you charter a ferry?
The truth seems to be the same, but...
Suddenly, a voice came from a boat nearby: "Brother, this boat also goes to Huichang, you might as well take this boat."
Lin Su raised his eyes and was slightly startled...
The man who spoke was a bit strange. What kind of strange method was he? He had a pale face and a birthmark on his forehead, which looked like a dark crow. And he looked at it with a thousand-degree pupil. He was clearly a cultivator, and his cultivation level was not low.
, and what’s even weirder is that he clearly saw invisible lines, black lines on the top of this man’s head...
He has seen thousands of people in the world, but he has never seen such a strange one, with a black steam above his head. Would you say it is scary?
If it hadn't been a clear day, he would have thought he had seen a ghost.
Lin Su nodded, withdrew from the middle of the bridge, returned to the dock, and walked towards the boat where the strange man was.
That strange man had a happy face, someone was finally willing to board his boat...
Suddenly, someone came over from the other side of the pier. It was a yellow sedan. Next to the sedan, a man in white came striding forward. His eyes met Lin Su's, and both of them were stunned.
This person was surprisingly the Du Qing he had just met last night.
So, who will be in the sedan?
An electric light flashed in Lin Su's brain, His Majesty's decree...
The third prince poisoned Princess Yufeng, removed her from the throne, and became the second-class King of Ruyang. He had to leave the capital before noon the next day and return to his fiefdom. He was not allowed to enter the capital without an edict!
It's noon now.
Inside the sedan was the third prince of the past and the King of Ruyang today.
He left Beijing and returned to his fiefdom, where he met Lin Su face to face.
The third prince is the most particular about formation. No matter where he goes on weekdays, he puts on a royal look for fear that others will not take him seriously. But today, it is uncharacteristically true. He only has three attendants and an ordinary sedan chair. Just because of leaving the capital.
It's his biggest shame and he doesn't want anyone to know.
Lin Su met him face to face. When he saw the sedan next to him, the curtain of the sedan was half opened, revealing the face of the third prince. This face was still high-spirited: "Master Lin, are you going back to your hometown to take a rest?"
His voice remained calm.
Lin Su: "Yes. Your Highness, King Ruyang, can you give me some advice?"
"Don't take advice seriously! It's just a question." The third prince said, "Why didn't Mr. Lin go to the prince brother to receive some reward?"
Lin Su smiled: "Your Highness, do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will give me a reward?"
"That's natural. Master Lin took action and accomplished what the prince brother had wanted to do but failed to do for many years. Shouldn't he be rewarded heavily?"
This is actually true.
Over the years, the prince has always wanted to drive this brother away from the capital, but he couldn't do it.
But now, Lin Suyi took action and did it.
The third prince was demoted to the throne and expelled from the capital, which was the greatest benefit to the prince.
"Your Highness, I really should talk to His Highness the Crown Prince about this." Lin Su sighed: "I don't want the reward. If someone can make him put aside his hatred towards me, I will treat him to ten meals of Baiyunbian."
The third prince's eyes narrowed into slits: "Brother, the prince, has a deep grudge against you?"
"In terms of hatred alone, His Highness the Crown Prince hates me more than His Highness."
The third prince said:
"Then I really don't understand. Mr. Lin has enemies from all directions, so what can he rely on?"
Lin Sudao: "What I rely on is nothing more than Your Majesty's sage. Under Your Majesty's rule, the blue sky is clear and the air is upright. If you stand upright and walk straight, you will naturally not be afraid of those evil villains. How can you be afraid of evil spirits from all directions?"
enemy?"
"I am about to leave Beijing, but Lord Lin is still so insincere." The third prince looked to the west: "I wonder if Lord Lin believes that, given time, I will come back."
"Believe it, why don't you believe it?" Lin Su said: "Your Highness, let alone returning to Beijing, even if you say that one day you can fulfill your great wish, I still believe it... Your Highness should set off, don't miss the right moment.
Auspicious day!"
With a slight bow, Lin Su walked towards the ferry.
These words are not nutritious at all, but they do have some meaning, that is, King Ruyang's departure from the capital today is not the end of him. The grudge between him and Lin Su will still happen tomorrow...
Lin Su stepped onto the ferry and walked towards the strange young man on the bow.
The young man with the black crow on his forehead was very happy and shouted to the boat boss behind him: Boat boss, look, there are still people who are willing to board your boat, so don’t be so entangled...
The boat boss was pulling his hair, his face full of confusion...
Lin Su didn't understand. When he passed by, he quietly asked: "Boss of the ship, what's going on?"
The boat boss let out a long sigh, Master, please help me persuade this Master and ask him to get off the boat. With my small arms and legs, I really don’t dare to carry this big Buddha like him...
What's going on?
A brief introduction from the ship boss...
This young man is a god of plague. When he came up, my boat was almost full. But as soon as he arrived, he was like a ghost. The old man stepped on the plank and got on the boat. He was walking well at first. He was fine.
Looking for trouble, I yelled: Be careful, don’t fall.
Hey, guess what? The boat plank under the old man's feet was broken in two, and the old man almost drowned.
People came to him for arguments and said he had a bad mouth. How did he defend himself? He said: I really mean well. If I have harmed him, I will be struck by thunder!
This sentence caused thunder and a bombardment. Master, look at what he did to my boat. After doing this, who would dare to take a boat with him on the waterway? Why not run away like this?
All gone?
Lin Su opened his eyes wide and stared in surprise at the scorched black spots everywhere on the boat. It was struck by lightning!
When you speak a word, it immediately comes true. Does your word follow the law?
There is indeed a way to speak in the literary world. For example, old man Baoshan has this method. At the beginning, he killed hundreds of people in Zhang Wenyuan's hometown with a single word. The young man in front of him was clearly not a member of the literary world, but a practitioner.
, do you also have this magical power on the path of spiritual practice?
"Sir, please help me persuade him to let him go!" The boat boss was about to cry: "Taking the waterway is a dangerous job in the first place. Anyone who goes out on the boat has to seek good fortune. Once he sat on this boat, I felt that my
The boat will capsize at any time..."
His voice was very low, but the young man still heard it and shouted: "Boss of the ship, you fart..."
The captain's expression suddenly changed, and he was shocked...
A loud fart came...
Lin Su was dumbfounded, and the young man himself was dumbfounded...
"Ship boss, let's do this. You don't have to wait for anyone else, just take me and this friend to Huichang. This is twenty taels of silver, which is considered as the boat fare! I will give you another two hundred taels of silver, which is considered as a deposit. If
If something happens to your ship, the money will be enough to buy a new one."
The two hundred and twenty taels of silver notes were handed into the hands of the ship boss. The ship boss's face changed, and he finally nodded.
Nothing in this world is absolute.
Although there is a high probability that something will happen if he goes out on the water with this plague god, but with these two hundred and twenty taels of silver in hand, what should he be afraid of?
The young man was happy and smiled: "Young master, I think you are a good person. Good people are rewarded...brother, is...?"
Lin Su looked at the sky, the earth, and the water, nothing was abnormal.
Didn't he just say what he said? He said that good people will get good rewards. Where is the good reward?
Didn't see it...
The young man rubbed his hands gently and told him sheepishly: "Brother, little brother... cough... it's not always effective to say good things, but it's more effective to say bad things..."
Good things don't work, bad things work, you have a crow's mouth?
"Brother, what's your surname? My little brother is Yan Jiuding, the one who speaks, the Jiuding who speaks Jiuding..."
A promise?
Your mother's name is really appropriate. She is the kind of person who calls others farts. Why don't you call her Yan Crow? The captain of the ship curled his lips and went to the cabin. He first packed away the few taels of silver in the cabinet to prevent the ship from capsizing.
In order to lose money, with the awareness that the boat could capsize at any time, he pushed the boat to clear the way.
Lin Su sat next to Yan Jiuding, and when he sat close to him, he really felt a strange energy coming from his bones. Looking at it with the naked eye, there wasn't much difference about Yan Jiuding, that is, he had a relatively pale complexion.
Young man, but looking at him with a thousand-degree pupil, he is covered by dark clouds...
If this is bad luck, it will almost turn into a cumulonimbus cloud.
The world of spiritual practice is really amazing. There are all kinds of weird things. This is what Lin Su is more interested in.
As for bad luck, he really doesn't care about it. His own moral energy protects his whole body and can even block the eyes of Master Tianji. Why should he be afraid of bad luck?
Yan Jiuding was very talkative. As soon as he caught Lin Su, he kept talking and became very affectionate.
Lin Su thought he was a chatterbox, but Yan Jiuding's words still touched him.
Yan Jiuding said that no one in the clan wanted to talk to him...
Why? Lin Su asked him.
Yan Jiuding was excited. Finally, someone was willing to listen to what he had to say. This was so rare. He spoke in more detail.
Because he is very unlucky. Ever since he was a child, he has been in constant trouble. Every time he goes out with his friends, an ordinary thing will always turn into a thrilling situation. He steps in dog poop while walking, encounters a wasp while picking fruit, and is killed by a snake while playing in the grass.
As Jiao grew up, they also went on adventures. Every time they went on adventures, the ending was one word: tragic! Gradually, his friends stopped playing with him. Two months ago, there was a fire in the clan library, and the clan leader insisted on leaving this place behind.
A debt was settled on him and he was expelled from the family. He heard that there was a Xixin Temple in Huichang City, and there was an old monk with great powers. He wanted to ask the old monk what happened to him...
Lin Su asked him: There was a fire in your library? What did you say?
Yan Jiuding said: "My library is built in a cave, you know, right? It's very dark. We went in with torches, so I reminded the friends in front of me to be careful not to light them on fire... You said
Am I wrong?"
Objectively speaking, it’s true!
Lin Su's eyes flashed: "Then what?"
"Then... that friend looked back at me and yelled at me, "Shut up, crow's mouth." Just as he turned back, the torch lit up the collection of books..."
As soon as these words were said, a flame suddenly burst out in the cabin, accompanied by the scream of the ship's boss...
Lin Su jumped up and saw the situation inside the cabin. The boss of the boat was just about to boil some water while the boat was going down the river. The stove overturned and the boat planks were on fire...
Lin Su held his hands together, and a piece of gold paper appeared, with the word "water" written on it.
A water dragon flies up from the river, sizzling... This chapter has been completed!
