It was the 15th or 16th time at this time, and the moon was as full as a disk, making the entire lake look particularly beautiful.
Dozens of pleasure boats drifted in the lake with the evening wind and current.
These ships are large or small, and the big ones have two or three floors. The boats are brightly lit, and various colored lights are hung on the bow and stern, reflecting the singing and dancing of the birds on the boat. Such large boats are usually filled with dignitaries from the four countries around Yunmeng Lake.
There are banquets at the bow and tea at the stern. The various pavilions and rooms on the ship are naturally places for gentlemen to have private talks and enjoy singing and dancing.
As for the small boat, there is a solitary boat. This is a place where literati and elegant guests sing and sing over wine. They drink three or two glasses of light wine and express their depression to the moon. In addition to this solitary boat, there are also small boats with canopies. This kind of boat
Although it is not big, it has an extra canopy and provides more privacy. Apart from the fishermen who fish all night in this lake, the people who ride this kind of boat are also the heroes of the world who want to discuss things and do things.
At this time, there were three large boats, five lone boats, and nine covered boats on the lake.
The big ships are far apart, and the lonely boats are scattered around the big ships.
On the big boat, there was a feast of lights, birds singing and dancing, and from time to time there was the sound of silk and bamboo playing through the cracks in the windows, which attracted the admiration of the literati and poets on the lonely boat.
"Oh, what's so great? These rich people are just arty when they listen to Sizhu. It's better for us to enjoy the evening breeze and the lonely moon." The scholar raised his wine glass and drank it down, still looking at the man with the corner of his eye.
The graceful figure reflected in the window paper.
On the awning boat, several rather sturdy men were discussing in a low voice. These people had belts tied around their waists and wore black fishskin vests, with a five-clawed blue dragon piercing the clouds tattooed on their exposed left arms.
At first glance, it looks like a gang. Looking at the other awning boats, the men inside are all dressed like this.
"Brother, is that Yan Zhuo on that ship?" a big man asked.
"According to the person who told us the news, Yanzhuo is on that ship." The eldest brother replied.
"Why is he telling us this? I heard that this Yan Zhuo is a tough guy. Baiyun Villa has offered a reward of five hundred thousand taels of gold." Another big man continued.
"Don't be afraid, this Yanzhuo may be a tough guy on land, but in the water, it will be our brothers' territory." The eldest brother replied, "As for the reason, I guess it has something to do with the girl named Xiang'er.
, he deliberately said that he wanted to keep Xiang'er, it seems that this Xiang'er and him..."
A big man spat and said: "Damn, this guy is not a good bird. He must be someone who can't get over it and just come here in the dark. I don't look down on this kind of person."
The eldest brother said: "Take someone's money to eliminate disasters for others. Since we have received the money, he is our customer. He can just do good things for the customer. We don't care about anything else. The girl belongs to him, Yanzhuo's head belongs to us, and the business
Understand, this is the rule of our Qinglong Club!"
Listening to what the elder brother said, several big men nodded and said: "Brother, when will we take action?"
The eldest brother looked up at the sky, then at the reeds swaying in the wind in the distance, and said: "When the moon is covered by clouds, Lao Qi, as usual, light a lamp at the stern as a signal, and wait for my order.
.”
After that, calm returned to the awning boat. All the men were leaning on the awning to recharge their batteries. Only the eldest brother stared at the moon with his eyes wide open.
The bright moonlight shone on his aquiline nose, which was gloomy and cruel.
On the big ship, Yan Zhuo, Mu Yunfeng, and Xiang'er were sitting around a coffee table. They were drinking tea and looking at the moonlight outside the window with happy expressions.
It's also true that it's hard not to be happy if you can steal half a day of leisure in this vast river and lake.
Yan Zhuo raised the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrant tea flowed down his pale lips, instantly relaxing his whole body: "Xiang'er, actually it's been a long time since we left Baiyun Villa."
"It's been eleven days." Xiang'er also lowered her head and took a sip of tea. She lowered her head, and the hair on her temples hung down to her mouth, blocking the delicate blush on her cheeks.
"Actually, we should tell Palace Master Shangguan, because she has been worried for so long in vain." Yan Zhuo glanced at Xiang'er from the corner of his eyes, and caught a glimpse of the red in the waterfall of black hair.
"Actually, I have told my sister that she will come to pick me up in the next few days." Xiang'er also glanced at Yanzhuo, "Actually, I know that the two of us are going to separate here."
"Yeah." Yanzhuo nodded and took another sip.
Every time Yan Zhuo and Xiang'er said something, they took a sip of the tea in the cup. After a while, the hot water in the pot went to the bottom. Mu Yunfeng, on the other hand, kept his cup of tea untouched from beginning to end, as if he was thinking.
What are you wearing?
What can a young man think about?
I miss my hometown, my feelings, and my old friends.
I can't go back to my hometown anymore. I'm being chased by Baiyun Villa. As long as I don't implicate Dian Cang, that's fine.
As for the old friend, the old friend may be in Jiangzuo Dynasty or Baiyun Villa, but he is not with him anyway.
Alas, Dian Cang can't go back, Xiao Yu is not around, and now Sister Xiang'er is going back to the Great Dan Country... Thinking of this, Mu Yunfeng couldn't help but look at the moon hanging in the sky, and thought to herself: "The moon
, Moon, you can shine to the south or to the north, I ask you to bring a message to my master, Taishizu, Xiaoyu, saying that everything is fine with me, so let them not worry."
As he thought like this, the moon seemed to sense Mu Yunfeng's thoughts, and pulled a burst of clouds to cover him, saying: "I'm sorry, I can't do it."
The time has come for Qinglong to go to sea!
A light was hung from the stern of a awning boat, and then the other eight boats also hung lights from the stern. In an instant, the nine awning boats were heading towards Yan Zhuo's big ship.
The shining moon, the shining blade.
Just hearing a few "plop" sounds as subtle as a leaping fish, six men had already jumped into the water. They held hammers in their hands and chisels in their mouths, heading towards the bottom of Yanzhuo's boat.
Working together with the ship-cutting team, there was also the porcelain-banging team.
I saw two awning boats deliberately ramming into the literati's lone boat, knocking the half-drunk literati and poets to pieces and shouting curses.
"Mom, you don't have eyes. You guys have knocked over my wine and food. I'll pay you for it!" The scholar, his face red from drunkenness, staggered and pointed at the big men.
Those big men apologized blindly and apologized to the literati with their hands in hand.
Seeing that he had encountered a coward, the scholar scolded him even more fiercely, and cursed all the curses he knew.
Just as he was cursing, two other awning boats collided with Yanzhuo's boat. The violent jolt made Xiang'er almost fall to the ground.
Following this turbulence, the ship-cutting team at the bottom of the ship began to take action. They hammered like rain, and in a short time they made six bowl-sized gaps in the bottom of the ship.
On the water, the boss shouted to Yan Zhuo: "Excuse me, adults on the boat. The boat encountered an undercurrent. I'm sorry. I've offended you so much. I've offended you so much."
Xiang'er was so shaken that he felt angry. He stood up and wanted to argue with the boss, but was stopped by Yan Zhuo.
Yan Zhuo put his hand on Xiang'er's shoulder, but his ears stood up like a deer's, and said: "This group of people seems to be thieves. There is a sound of chisels on the bottom of the boat."
Hearing what Yan Zhuo said, Mu Yunfeng and Xiang'er were stunned and asked hurriedly: "What should we do now, Brother Yan?"
Yan Zhuo said: "It will take at least half an hour for this boat to sink completely. There are many small boats around here. It's okay. I'll deal with them."
After he finished speaking, he got up and came to the window and said to the boss: "It's okay, brother, be careful next time."
As he said this, his eyes were already sizing up the man. He had bare arms, a black fish skin vest, and a green dragon tattoo. This man really didn't look like a gangster at all.
Yan Zhuo smiled and closed the window. Taking Mu Yunfeng with him, Xiang'er flew to the other side and landed on the deck behind the ship under the night light, observing the surrounding situation.
The number of black-topped boats continued, and they were encircling the surrounding lone boats, obviously not wanting Yan Zhuo and the others to take advantage of the situation.
"It seems that these river bandits want us to fall into the water. We have to act quickly. Once in the water, we may not be able to defeat these men."
