In the evening, Bao San left the county town and rode across the rebuilt wooden bridge on the Fu River, only to see Xu Kui squatting there.
"Bao Bantou."
"Why are you squatting here? While the injury is not healed, it is only right to spend more time with your wife."
"I heard that someone found two brothers alive from downstream. Who are they?"
Bao Sandao: "It's not yours, it's Liu Ergou and Xu Tuduo."
"What about Bantou Jiang?"
"You want to be the class leader? It's early."
Xu Kui said anxiously: "Brother, what are you saying? Am I this kind of person? Am I not anxious?"
"Qui, you know, Jiang Fan is water-based. If it wasn't cold, he could jump back after being washed into the river. But in this winter, he would freeze to death."
"Then how can Xu Tulao come back?"
"I didn't know that he was born with a different appearance and had a great destiny."
Xu Kui suddenly froze, stared to the north, and murmured: "Brother, who is that..."
Bao Sandao: "It's so far away, how can I see clearly with one eye... Is that a Taoist priest?"
"The one next to the Taoist priest."
"Isn't he also a Taoist priest...Jiang Fan?"
Bao San suddenly pinched the horse's belly and rushed forward.
~~
"Brother...are these the only ones left of my hundred brothers?"
"Okay, stop crying, don't fucking cry! It's not over, right? Jiang Fan, you know that your team is facing the Mongolian Tatar Marshal... but it's still the first success."
"Bantou Jiang! Woo hoo..."
"Mom, stop crying. Wipe your nose. The county captain will come to see you later."
"The county captain...brother, I'm going to see the county captain..."
Bao San hugged Jiang Fan and said softly: "Don't cry again when you go back. You are a squad leader, so don't embarrass yourself in front of your subordinates, okay?"
"Um."
"By the way, who is this Taoist Priest?"
"I haven't had time to introduce you to my brother yet." Jiang Fan said: "This is Taoist Master Yu Dechen. It was he who saved me. I was hit by an arrow and was washed down by the current. It was he who picked me up from the river.
Take me away, make a fire, get me medicine, and heal my injuries..."
Yu Dechen was around 20 years old and quite aloof. He was wearing a Taoist robe and had a long sword hanging on his waist. He said with a reserved expression: "I just happened to see him."
Jiang Fan said: "Taoist Master Yu heard that I was coming to Qingfu County and sent me here specially."
Yu Dechen said: "It takes a little effort, but it's not worth mentioning."
Bao San cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Taoist Master Yu, for rescuing my brother. I will remember your great kindness in my heart. If I can help you in the future, I will never refuse."
Yu Dechen nodded lightly, with a hint of indifference in his reserve.
At this time, a group of people were talking outside the camp. Because Jiang Fan came back, Liu Jinsuo led many people out. They talked endlessly and forgot to go in for a while.
Liu Jinsuo also held a hook in his hand and threw it to Jiang Fan for him to put on.
"Haha, Jiang Hook is back."
Liu Jinsuo laughed twice, turned to look at Yu Deshen, and asked, "Where is Taoist Yu from? Where are you going?"
"A poor man from Jiangling Prefecture, he has traveled far and wide."
Liu Jinsuo scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "I also know a Taoist priest whose name also has the word 'De' in it. He is a disciple of the 'De' generation of the Quanzhen Sect's Longmen authentic sect Bi Dongtang's 'De Tong Xuan Jing'."
Yu Dechen said: "Pindao is not a Quanzhen sect, but a Taoist priest of the Maoshan Sect. His name is the genealogy of 'Ling Dewei Chuiyou'... This is Pindao's silk ultimatum."
"Hahaha, Master Yu doesn't need to explain so much to me. It's like I'm looking up your genealogy."
Yu Dechen frowned slightly, took the silk in his hand back into his arms, and tilted his head slightly, unwilling to talk to Liu Jinsuo.
"Hey, your sword is pretty good, can you show it to me?" Liu Jinsuo asked again.
"You idiot Liu, go ahead." Bao Sandao said, "You don't know etiquette."
"Look, so what?"
Yu Dechen's eyes were slightly thoughtful, and he took off his sword and handed it over, saying: "I don't know how to use a sword. I'm just traveling around, pretending to avoid encountering thieves."
"Hey, modesty. The calluses on your hands look like Lian Jiazi." Liu Jinsuo took the sword, pulled it out and exclaimed: "Damn, Xixia Sword?!"
Yu Deshen was startled, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Liu Jinsuo, thinking to himself: "Isn't this man... too smart?"
"clang."
Liu Jinsuo flicked the sword and clicked his tongue: "Bao Duyan, do you hear that? Only Xixia blacksmiths can make this kind of forging. You haven't seen it, right? Xixia has long been dead."
Yu Dechen bowed his back slightly.
But then Liu Jinsuo continued: "I have seen several husbands in Lin'an, and they all wear Xixia swords handed down from ancient times."
Bao Sandao: "Taoist Master Yu, you don't need to pay attention to this idiot Liu. He just has this kind of virtue. He brags all day long. I have seen a few Taoist priests and a few Xixia swords. I wish the whole world knew about it."
Yu Dechen relaxed a little and nodded.
"Hehe." Liu Jinsuo smiled and said, "Daozhang Yu, does your sword have a name?
"Too often."
"I'll give you a gun in exchange, and I'll give you a hundred bucks in exchange. Can you exchange it with me?"
"Sorry, family heirlooms cannot be exchanged."
"All right."
Yu Dechen glanced over and saw Liu Jinsuo looking at the sword with a serious expression and admiration in his eyes, not as if he had seen anything.
He couldn't help but be a little confused, thinking that this rough guy looked stupid, but his words contained such profound meaning that people couldn't figure out the details.
The next moment, someone rode over.
Yu Dechen turned around, narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself: "This person... must be Li Xia without a doubt."
Sure enough, everyone in the audience shouted: "County Captain."
Yu Dechen lowered his head slightly and sneered in his heart.
"This is the Chonggong Temple that the Quanzhen Sect has cultivated for twenty-three years. It made Li Xia, the leader of the Chonggong Temple, angry to death and ruined the fate of the Quanzhen Sect."
…
"County Lieutenant, this is Taoist Yu Dechen who saved this villain's life."
"Daozhang Yu, let me thank you again for Jiang Fan..."
Yu Dechen subconsciously reached out to his waist and was stunned. He turned around and saw that Liu Jinsuo was still holding the Taichang Sword.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh, forget it, there are so many people around, it's not the right time.
On the surface he had always been very calm, but in his heart he was shocked that Li Xia actually had so many elite soldiers, which was completely different from what he expected.
Maybe we should wait until Li Xia hosts a banquet later and find another opportunity...
"Liu Jinsuo, take Taoist Master Yu to the county posthouse to rest...Jiang Fan, come with me."
Li Xia said, nodded to Yu Dechen, turned around and entered the camp.
Yu Dechen was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that Li Xia didn't entertain him?
The official arrogance of the Song Dynasty was really great. The Quanzhen Sect was in the north... Oh, this is not the north, and it didn't use the name Quanzhen Sect.
"I am still used to the flattery of the common people in the world. This is not good. It is not good. The great road is broad and can be controlled. All things depend on it and live without hesitation..."
Liu Jinsuo handed the sword back to Yu Dechen and said carelessly: "Let's go, Taoist Priest, I'll take you to the post house to stay...Xu Kui, are you still recovering at home? Let's go together."
Yu Dechen took the sword and didn't say anything. He was just wary of Liu Jinsuo, thinking that this man wanted to take him down after greeting so many people.
It's a pity that I just arrived in Qingfu County, and my identity seems to have been exposed. I can't outwit him.
But until he arrived at the post house, Liu Jinsuo didn't ask anyone to do anything, he looked careless.
Yu Dechen entered the house, looked through the crack in the door, and found that there was no ambush.
"Idiot Liu? This man has sharp eyes and is well-informed. He is a rare smart person. Why is he called a 'idiot'? I can't figure him out...has he figured out his identity?"
~~
Over there, Liu Jinsuo left the post house, shook his head, and said, "Hey, this is Taoist Priest Yu."
"Liu Bantou, what's wrong?" Xu Kui asked.
"Don't you think so? This Taoist Master Yu looks stupid, as if he has never seen the world."
"Huh? I don't think so."
Liu Jinsuo laughed loudly and said: "These Taoist priests have been practicing in the mountains all year round and have never seen anything. Unlike my brother, I have seen a lot in the big city of Lin'an."
Xu Kui scratched his head and felt that he admired Team Leader Liu so much.
"Oh, I thought this Taoist priest was so coaxed that I wanted to buy his sword and give it to the county captain. But he didn't sell it. This is really..."
