When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

On the second day, Zuoqiuye and the others came back. →

As soon as Zuoqiuye entered the inn, she saw Li Changxiao, slumped in a chair and drinking, frowning and walking away with long legs.

She was tall, with strong legs, and her long hair fluttered when she walked, full of heroic spirit.

Li Changxiao had been traveling with the caravan for some time.

The person she had the most contact with was Xia Mei, who was not very familiar with Zuoqiuye.

So she did not invite Li Changxiao to the Jianghu gathering yesterday, and the people at the gathering were all famous people, so she felt that Li Changxiao was not qualified enough.

Just clean up.

Around noon.

The caravan received news that the canal was unblocked.

The port returned to its former bustle, and many migrant workers in coarse cloth shouted fifteen copper coins a day, just for food money.

The port was the most mixed place, and it was also in this kind of place that the news was the most well-informed.

Li Changxiao and others heard no less than ten gossips just passing by here.

There was one thing that Li Changxiao was a little concerned about.

The county magistrate planned to build a temple on the edge of the canal for the two golden bodies in the river to ensure the safety of water transportation.

Li Changxiao passed by and forgot about it. Not to mention building a temple, even if they wanted to establish a country, it had little to do with him.

Everything was over.

The Xia Mei caravan hired a total of four transport ships and went south along the canal.

Wen Tianyu looked at the river, wondering what he was thinking.

The boat went farther and farther away and left the town. Li Changxiao asked for a bamboo pole, tied a thin rope at the end, and sat by the boat to fish.

"Can you catch fish like this?" Xia Mei came over, her eyes lively.

"I don't know." Li Changxiao smiled and replied.

The two sat by the boat and chatted casually.

Suddenly, the fishing line tightened and the fishing rod seemed to be pulled. Li Changxiao was stunned. He didn't expect that there was really a fish on the hook.

"Hurry up! Pull it!"

"Oh, I'm so anxious!"

Xia Mei's eyes widened, and she patted Li Changxiao's shoulders anxiously.

She was so excited that she clenched her fists and stared at the river.

Li Changxiao pulled hard, and a small golden fish flew out of the water, shining in the sunlight.

Xia Mei held the small fish, her eyes curved like crescents, and she showed a bright smile, which was quite rare for a woman who had been a merchant since childhood.

On the other side.

Wen Tianyu looked at this scene, gritted his teeth, and was extremely jealous and indignant.

At the same time, he also made a certain decision in his heart.

"Hey, look, its head is a little protruding?" Xia Mei looked at the small fish in her hand and was amazed.

Li Changxiao frowned slightly, and there was some doubt in his heart.

If he was not mistaken, this fish had a little dragon nature. Although its spiritual energy was exhausted, it was enough to swim in the sea with its little origin with dragons.

It shouldn't have appeared in this river, let alone taken the bait.

Unless... it was frightened?

Li Changxiao couldn't figure it out, so he was too lazy to think about it, so he said: "Why not let it go?"

"Okay, okay, it's so beautiful, I can't bear to eat it." Xia Mei smiled gently: "Fishing for goldfish, it seems that my trip has a good omen."

"Damn it, why did the young lady look at that boy of unknown origin differently in just a few days!" Wen Tianyu's chest was filled with anger.

"I have accompanied the young lady on business trips more than ten times, and I have never seen the young lady so happy." Wen Tianyu was very angry. Thinking of this, he became more and more jealous of Li Changxiao.

Thinking that if he had known this, he should have killed him in the snow.

He took out a gray bird from his arms, walked to an empty corner, and quietly let it fly.

......

The canal is like a vein, with large and small branches, intricate.

As the caravan sailed, there were fewer and fewer ships around.

Night fell.

Except for a few servants who stayed behind, everyone else had fallen asleep.

In the distance.

A fire suddenly lit up.

It was as if some kind of consecration had been turned on, followed by the second, third... until the eleventh fire.

A fire represented a ship.

On the wide river, there was a faint sound of bold laughter.

The laughter gradually grew louder, and these eleven ships were approaching the caravan.

Zuo Qiuye was the first to notice something was wrong. She jumped up from the bed, walked to the first class in a few steps, and looked at the ships.

Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were like eagles, and the next moment, she realized that the newcomers were not friendly, and shouted, asking the person controlling the ship to turn around.

If they were surrounded by these eleven ships, it would be tricky!

The person controlling the ship was an old man. It was also the first time for him to see such a scene. He lied on the spot and made several mistakes in a panic, but he still managed to turn around without any danger.

But after turning around successfully, the old man who was controlling the boat immediately became weak in the legs and knelt on the ground.

There were more than a dozen boats in the back, blocking the way.

"What's going on?" Xia Mei woke up from her dream and looked at Zuo Qiuye with a serious expression.

Zuo Qiuye shook her head, pulled out the red leaf knife behind her, and said, "Miss, the people who come here are not kind."

"If the other party has some morality, relying on my and Wen Tianyu's reputation, and giving some blood and money, your life will not be in danger."

"But if the other party is a bloodthirsty person, I'm afraid I can only fight to the death tonight!"

She was ready to fight to the death.

Xia Mei frowned, and her bright eyes were full of worry.

"Maybe they are just trying to scare us?" Li Changxiao also walked out of the room.

"Humph." Zuo Qiuye looked over sideways, "How long has it been and you are still making such unrealistic jokes?"

Wen Tianyu stood up at this moment and said: "Brother Changxiao, I think you seem to be very calm? It seems that you have guessed it a long time ago?"

moment.

This intentional or unintentional remark aroused Zuo Qiuye's suspicion, and he looked at Li Changxiao warily.

Wen Tianyu spoke again, "Look, these ships have been waiting here for a long time. By the time we noticed, they had already formed a siege."

"It seems that we have known for a long time that at this moment, our merchant ship will definitely appear here."

"If you say that there is no mole on our ship, I don't really believe it."

The words fell.

The servants and hired men gathered around and looked at Li Changxiao with unkind expressions.

Li Changxiao remained as indifferent as ever. He looked at Wen Tianyu playfully, "Good boy, let's do this trick."

Then he looked at Xia Mei and said with a smile: "As the person in charge of the caravan, what do you think?"

Xia Mei hesitated for a moment, then stood up, "Everyone, we must focus on unity when facing a powerful enemy. I believe that Mr. Changxiao is not a mole!"

Wen Tianyu's expression became a little ferocious, "Miss, it's already this time, are you still defending him? This person has been acting suspiciously all the way, and I've seen it for a long time!"

"We are facing a formidable enemy, why not let me kill this guy to boost the morale of our brothers!"

"That's enough!" Xia Mei scolded: "Tianyu, you are too petty. I, Xia Mei, have been doing business with my father since I was eleven years old, and I can still judge people very accurately."

"Young Master Changxiao doesn't look like that kind of person."

"Humph!" Wen Tianyu said coldly: "Miss is fascinated."

"In this case, then I can only kill it first and then play it!"

With that said, Wen Tianyu unsheathed his long sword and slashed at Li Changxiao.

The latter always has a meaningful expression.
