Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

"Come here, Bai Hua."

Jing Zhe brought Bai Hua to the more spacious rear seat, expecting to be smoothed, of course Bai Hua obeyed obediently, but when he got down on the ground according to Jing Zhe's request, Jing Zhe didn't take out the comb, but——untied it Buttons on Birch's shirt.

"Hey - wait, wait a minute, Miss Jing Zhe, isn't it a fox tail...?"

Bai Hua was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the logical relationship between 'undressing' and tail maintenance for a moment, but Jing Zhe took advantage of this gap to throw Bai Hua down.

The two of them were stuck together on the rear seat in an instant, Jing Zhe's long golden hair surrounded the birch like a shower curtain, and his golden eyes and blue-gold pupils reflected the same crimson cheeks .

"Sister Jingzhe...?"

"..."

Jing Zhe swallowed his saliva.

Jing Zhe likes to act in a step-by-step manner, and hates sudden events, but at this moment her actions are completely improvised.

The origin of everything is Bai Hua's inexplicable 'alcohol test'. When Bai Hua licked her fingertips with her tongue, it also touched Jing Zhe's heart.

"Bai Hua, I—do you know? I've been traveling with Bai Hua and even living together these days, but I never had a chance. Even when I was staying in Luanshan that day, I managed to get a double room. But because of Si Suitai's incident, he made a fuss..."

Jing Zhe's breathing became a little short, and his vision of Gray Wolf was gradually covered by a layer of pink.

"Finally, today I finally...had a chance. Well, it's not my fault, Bai Hua. If you want to blame it, it's your fault for always looking like you want to be pouted!"

"Eh!? Blame me?!"

"That's right, it's all your fault, so if this is the case... it's good to be here, you have to take your own responsibility... right?"

Jing Zhe smiled at the gray wolf under her, shook her hair at the same time, and unzipped the long dress on her chest——

"Gah!"

At this moment, Ah Yao, who was entrusted with a mission by Xi, suddenly jumped out and blocked them in front of them, with an awe-inspiring look.

(Miss Xi asked me, I must complete the mission!)

"—"

Being interrupted so roughly, Jing Zhe raised his head and stared at Ah Bite.

"Gah, gah...?"

It seems that from Qilin's eyes, he felt the coercion of Dayan's 4000-year Leifa. Ah Yao, who had clearly spoken righteously a second ago, was instantly sweating.

"Gah, gah——!!"

The next moment, Ah Biao let out a scream, and when he came back to his senses, A Biao was already tightly bound and thrown into the gap in the middle of the front seat.

"Gah...!"

Ah Biao kept twisting his body, but after all, Yan Guo's binding method was not something that Mo Yao could resist.

"Gah..."

Ah Yao, who gave up struggling, could only watch what happened in front of him in the off-road vehicle.

"Gah..."

[The master is suppressed by the unicorn!Well, although the master wanted to try to escape, he was completely unable to resist due to the electric current, so he could only let the Qilin slaughter him...Damn it, I'm too weak and have no strength...]

"...!!"

[Damn Qilin, actually did such an exaggerated thing to his master!Now the master is really doomed... What should I do, Miss Xi! 】

"Gah?"

[Hey, when did the master put Qilin under him instead?And it feels like Kirin is getting a little bored? 】

"Gah, gah!"

[Is it time for the master to fight back!Come on, master! 】

"Gah-"

【Master, enough is enough...!Obviously Qilin is already begging for mercy... There is no need to fight anymore, master! 】

Just like that, in the off-road vehicle parked in the rest area next to a certain national road in Yan Kingdom, a battle between Rhodes Island and Dali Temple was going on without bloodshed.

In the end, Rhode Island elite operators from Syracuse won a complete victory.

The battery of the off-road vehicle was blown up because it was overcharged, and Ah Yao, who had witnessed everything——

"Gaah, gaah! (You will always be my big brother from now on!)"

"Hey, it's so cute, Ah Bite~"

The refreshed Bai Hua hugged Ah Bite and rubbed it, completely unaware that she had taken in another younger brother who admired her immensely. '

"Gu..."

As for Jing Zhe, she sat on the back seat with a face of satisfaction and shame, silently complaining in her heart that she would never give it for nothing so easily next time.

296. Shang Shu, I'm here to be spicy!

After helping the off-road vehicle to replenish the electricity, and by the way, Ah Yao, who lives in Longyuan, convinced him that he is the eldest brother, Bai Hua and Jing Zhe started to move towards Shangshu again.

However, this two-person journey did not last long. After arriving at the town named 'Huang Tiecheng', Bai Hua noticed that the road leading to Shangshu could only be done by flying transport boats or water transport. Several main roads need to continue for about a hundred kilometers from Huangtiecheng.

The continuous seventeen peaks are like a pure natural barrier, enclosing the outer ring of Shangshu tightly, and the only road connecting them is a river with branches, and those rugged and steep, can they The traffic is full of unknown mountains.

Fortunately, Lao Li had contacted Bai Hua before, saying that the client had provided a way to reach Shangshu.

"Although I have heard in the travel brochures that the geographical environment of the Yan Kingdom is very distinctive in the entire Terra, but actually seeing this appearance still feels a bit outrageous..."

After temporarily lodging the recently-brought off-road vehicle at the Huangtiecheng car dealership, Bai Hua holds the map in his hand, observes the endless mountain peaks in the distance, compares the route, and complains in a low voice.

"After all, there is a capable person named 'Tianshi' in Yan Kingdom. To open seas and move mountains, as long as more celestial masters are sent over, it will always be successful."

Jing Zhe at the side was arranging her luggage, while explaining to Bai Hua in a somewhat proud tone.

"Even so, moving mountains and even rivers to mobile city-states is a bit too evil..."

It seems that in the future, no matter what, don't mess with those ruthless characters called "Heavenly Masters". This group of people can really press themselves under Wuzhishan when they are upset, and let their buttocks face inward and outward. .

"All in all, it's easier to arrange the next journey after arriving here, Bai Hua. I'm going to go to the mountains around Shangshu to see if the master is still there. Do you want to come with me?"

"This... How should I put it, I still have to go to the place designated by the client first. After all, I must at least complete the task entrusted to me by Lao Li before belching. I don't care, but there is another person for this commission, so we can't delay the other party. And when that guy, Old Li, contacted me just now, he seemed to say that the client had a fairly high official position."

Bai Hua wiped off her cold sweat and told Jing Zhe that she had no plans to challenge the final boss at the first stop of Shangshu.

"And for some reason, this thing always makes me feel uncomfortable. It's better to throw the hot potato over there earlier."

Bai Hua took out the black wine cup, frowned and said.

"Words about Jiuzhan... I seem to have heard Si Suitai talk about similar topics before, but at that time I was dealing with a case, and I didn't have time to pay attention to the chatter of these visitors from Si Suitai. Anyway, I will put the luggage in the Huang Tiecheng, after a short rest, I will go to the master. I should also go to the nearby Tianshi Mansion and Dali Temple branch to have a look. Your client's address is written as 'Liang Mansion'. I am with you, Bai Hua. In the past, it would have caused unnecessary troubles, but why did the prefect of Liang care so much about this wine cup...?"

"I understand, Sister Jingzhe. Master or something, uh, let's not talk about that for now. In short, about Dali Temple and Tianshi Mansion, I will come to accompany you after I finish my work, so don't be too aggressive before that. Miss Jingzhe."

"Relax, I promised Bai Hua that you will face these matters together, so naturally you won't solve them alone, that would put the cart before the horse, and now I won't ask you to stay out of it, that kind of request would be too irresponsible."

Jing Zhe nodded to Bai Hua, expressing that he would not act recklessly.

Although both Baihua and Jingzhe's goal is to "shangshu", the actual destinations of the two are still somewhat different. Because of this, Jingzhe and Baihua chose to part ways in Huangtiecheng for the time being. Jingzhe deals with the Dali Temple and the unsolved case together.

Or beheaded by Jing Zhe's old-fashioned master.

------

"According to the information given by Lao Li, it should be here... There are fewer people than expected."

After separating from Jing Zhe, Bai Hua came to the ferry by the river bank alone, looked around while looking at the message sent from the Li's Detective Agency on the mobile phone.

Although Bai Hua was inexplicably targeted by the escort lady because of Lao Li's behavior of "eating both ends", but after all, this was also a commission he entrusted to him, so he had to mediate and release information from it. Rely on this unreliable older single youth.

"Let me see, the white coir raincoat, the pipe, and the bamboo hat—are you Master Shen?"

According to the information sent by Lao Li, Bai Hua searched for the "ferryman" appointed by the client at the ferry, and after a while, he finally met the boatman who matched the information beside an inconspicuous dock.

"—"

After hearing Bai Hua's voice, the old boatman who had been relying on the river raised his head slightly. The other party was a rather old white-haired old man, but there was no trace of slack brought by the years in his eyes. Not only that, but obviously At first glance, it looks like he is sitting idly by the riverside in a daze, but the temperament of this old boatman is like a soldier guarding the border, firm and tenacious.

"Are you the 'White Wolf'?"

The boatman stood up and looked at Bai Hua, as if he already knew that such a gray wolf would come to him.

"No, no, no, I'm the gray wolf named Bai Hua. The white wolf is my friend. I think Victoria is still on missions with the tractor driver."

Bai Hua waved his hand to correct the omission of the old boatman's address. The white wolf is the Earl of Victoria, and he is the pendulum wolf.

"Forget it, then I'll call you 'young man', Liang Daren told you to come up."

The old boatman didn't seem to have much interest in Bai Hua's title and identity. He just had a brief conversation with Bai Hua, and after confirming that the Lupu boy in front of him was his guest, he walked gently onto the bed where he was leaning. A light boat on the side.

——When I got on the boat, there was not even a ripple... Sister Jingzhe really lied to me, Yan Kingdom is obviously full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and people from the martial arts world!

After Bai Hua noticed the casual but awe-inspiring figure of the old boatman, she always said 'Don't make a stereotype! 'The Qilin who was hanging on his lips complained in a low voice.

After all, the old boatman is half of the 'guide' prepared by the client in advance, so Bai Hua doesn't need to spend energy describing the place he is looking for.Gray Wolf happily stepped onto the passenger ship, leaned on the side and sat down directly, admiring the surrounding scenery.

Although the terrain of Shangshu is steep and complex, it is almost a half-isolated hermit world, but also because of this, the waterway between the mountains and peaks can give you a panoramic view of the world's superb scenery along the way.

On the calm and melodious lake, towering peaks stretch on both sides, making people involuntarily marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

But as long as you look closely, you will notice that there are row after row of houses on the bank of the mountain range. The noise of lights from modern civilization did not tear up this natural scene, but it was surrounded by the boundless The unconditional tolerance of the mountains and rivers has formed a wonderful scenery that only belongs to Yan Kingdom.

While admiring the completely different scenery from Kazdel, Ursas, and Victoria, Bai Hua didn't forget to chat with the old boatman occasionally.

"Master, what do you do?"

"..."

The old boatman who was steering turned to stare at Bai Hua.

"Uh, no, I mean, Master Shen, are you just ferrying on the river now?"

Bai Hua hurriedly explained that what she just said was not literal.

"It used to be."

The old boatman responded briefly.

"Sure enough! So Yan Kingdom is full of peerless masters like you who hide their secrets!"

Bai Hua, who has been tormented by the "Yanguo Travel Guide" and various stereotyped movies, has begun to make up for the chaos of the martial arts that is characteristic of Yanguo.

But it is also true, secluded, unfathomable, detached, free and easy, indifferent-who has never imagined having such a life?Even the young wolves who only knew to fight on the battlefield a few years ago will have this kind of expectation more or less in the process of growing up.

Especially after spending a long time with Chen Huijie, who is a fan of martial arts, Bai Hua will be more or less affected by it.

Of course, in other words - it's just a meeting just now, and Bai Hua has already guessed the resume of the boatman in front of him.

With great strength, his previous identity was far more than that, but now he chose to be a boatman for various reasons...or he has only used the identity of a 'boatman' as a certain disguise from beginning to end.

——The above is not deduced by Bai Hua, but made up by Chen Huijie himself from the plots of martial arts novels he read before.

"Yan Kingdom is not that deep and unfathomable, and from my point of view, you don't want to give in too much, young man."

The old boatman glanced at Bai Hua again, and this time his eyes were no longer casual, but seriously observed the different-eyed Lupus, and finally focused his gaze on the sword hilt 'Dragon Dragon' pinned to Bai Hua's waist. deep'.

"The messenger who can call Mr. Liang's name has already proved your ability. The same is true for that weapon. Although it is safely retracted at the waist, the sharp blade is ready to be unsheathed at any time."

"But what makes me most curious is that you have a rare temperament at this age. I have seen many rare geniuses, but they have not learned to restrain their edge, but you are different, knowing restraint and silence. This is a trait that can only be learned by those who have practiced for many years, or who have experienced countless life and death fights."

While rowing the oars, the old boatman explained what kind of existence he saw in his eyes.

He is not only the 'guide' provided by the client, but also the 'observer' assigned by the client.According to the results obtained by his own observation, it will be decided where the old boatman will finally sail the boat.

Facing the old boatman's temptation, Bai Hua smiled slightly.

Then a little smile, and a little smile—

"Hey...that's not the case, I just worked as a mercenary in Kazdel before, and I often encountered strange things when I ran around, that's why I became like this, not as outrageous as you said, Master Shen La, hehehe..."

Bai Hua, who was evaluated as "unfathomable and restrained" a moment ago, became only giggling after hearing what the old boatman said.

In the "Lao Lai Observation Manual" written by Princess Wenyue's personal guard Bai Xue, the second line on the third page clearly stated a point of view:

[Lao Lai's small mind is easy to hold grudges.Thick-skinned, likes to call everyone a brother.But only in the face of compliments from others, he will appear at a loss, either inflated or shy.You can take advantage of this weakness to constantly praise the other party, make them relax their vigilance, and attack their heroes when they are not prepared. 】

Obviously, the old boatman's probing words are also a compliment in Bai Hua's eyes, so it makes Bai Hua very interesting.

"Speaking of it, it's rare to come to Shangshu once, but it's not interesting to just enjoy the scenery quietly like this. Master Shen, you see that I'm here, why don't you just order additional services!"

The second line on the fourth page of "Laolai Observation Handbook":
