Chapter 24 Good things and bad things(2/2)
Fang Liang laughed after hearing these words, and immediately understood that the young man in front of him, no matter how he was today, had been around before, so he cupped his fists and saluted.
"Okay, thanks to my little brother for your favor, I won't be polite if you look up to the man who went down to the river."
"Easy to say." Lin Xiao returned the greeting as usual.
As for the so-called "going down the river", it refers to the boatmen who live on the water and live on the water.
The former is despicable, but he still has his life, while the latter may lose his life if he is not careful.
The reason why Lin Xiao was polite to the ship boss was because of the rules of the river and lake.
If you come as an expert in the immortal sect, of course the other party will also accept you as an expert, but you will be respectful, but you won’t say a few truthful words.
Similarly, if you follow the Jianghu brothers, if the other party is on the right track, they will naturally follow the rules. People will respect you three points, so you must show your dignity, and you can also be honest in what you say.
Just listen to Lin Xiaoyan say: "May I ask the boss of the ship, where are we now, and how many days until we can reach Zhongdu?"
Fang Liang walked to the bow of the boat and pointed toward the gentle river ahead.
"I want my little brother to know that we are at the boundary of Mingzhou, the first of the five bends of Mei River. The water flow here is gentle and the boat sailing is slow. I estimate that we can reach Huangshi City early tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he patted the railing with his hand. "We will make some supplies in the city. It will take up to three days to reach Zhongdu."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that it was a few days ahead of schedule."
Fang Liang also smiled. "Brother, I caught up with the good season, so it will be much faster."
Lin Xiao heard this and thanked him: "Boss, you have worked hard all the way. Please pay more attention in the next few days."
Fang Liang wiped away the oil and sweat on his face with his coat. "Brother, you are so polite. In my line of work, you can go with the wind and the current, and you can go in the wind and rain. Why do you have to work so hard? God will reward you, don't cut off the road.
That’s it…”
Lin Xiao was startled when he heard the words, and seemed to have some thoughts. He suddenly laughed a few times, looked at Fang Liang and gave a fist salute. "Thank you, the captain of the ship, for your thoughtful words, which relieved my worries."
Such an action made Fang Liang feel at a loss. He quickly waved his hands and said: "Brother, please don't say that! You are a person with great supernatural powers and great fortune. How can I, a rough guy who doesn't know a single word, understand you?"
Bored?"
Lin Xiao just looked at the river and shook his head with a smile, but said nothing.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps behind him. Fang Liang turned around and saw Mu Xiyun wearing a veil. Knowing that the two of them probably had something to say, he immediately bowed and said goodbye.
"I'm going to patrol the boat first. When I have some free time, I'll set up a table and let's have a drink."
Naturally, Lin Xiao would not refuse. "Don't worry, boss of the ship, I'll be here when you call me."
"Haha, okay, I'm a happy guy!" Fang Liang said, turned around and left the bow.
Mu Xiyun moved lightly and came to Lin Xiao's side. He asked softly without looking at him. "Is Ti Zhu's injury better?"
Lin Xiao nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Miss Lao, for your concern. It's nothing serious."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the shallow water on the shore, on the small boats pulling nets for fishing, and he continued as if talking to himself.
"To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about something these past two days."
"Oh? What does Master Ti want to do?" Mu Xiyun asked immediately.
Lin Xiao was still looking at the riverside, and only said: "I'm just wondering why the Dangtang Xianmen Old Yulou, among other things, insists on approving eight 'Xifeng Orders' to capture a noble lady and a son of an official.
?"
His words did not stop there.

"Why do people who act secretly under Tantang make it known to everyone, as if they are being targeted when they leave Zhaoning City?"
Mu Xiyun's voice was cold, as if floating in the wind: "Do you know the answer?"
Lin Xiao shook his head. "I don't know."
"The leader wants to know the answer?" Mu Xiyun turned to look at Lin Xiao, the white gauze on his face was blown by the river wind, and a corner was lifted, revealing a delicate face.
"I don't want to." Lin Xiao answered quickly.
"Don't want to?" There seemed to be a bit of surprise in Mu Xiyun's voice.
Lin Xiao nodded. "No, just as Governor Lu said, just complete a simple task."
Mu Xiyun smiled and was noncommittal. "The master has a clear mind."
Lin Xiaoyan said: "These days, it is much more difficult to find a fool than a smart person."
"Yes..." Mu Xiyun nodded.
While the two were talking, a gong suddenly sounded from the port side.
I saw the boat boss Fang Liang and the boatman rushing towards the bow of the ship.
Lin Xiao and Mu Xiyun looked at each other and asked quickly: "But what happened?"
"A fishing boat in front of me somehow left the shallow water and floated onto the channel. If it doesn't leave, how can I let it go?!" Fang Liang put up a railing, grabbed the gong from the boatman's hand, and banged it hard.
, while shouting.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The boat is touching!"
Lin Xiao took a look, and sure enough, a few dozen feet ahead, a man wearing a bamboo hat was driving a fishing boat towards the middle of the river. If he didn't turn around immediately, he might be in danger of crashing into the boat.
"That man! Get out of the way quickly! Get out of the way——!"
While Fang Liang was still shouting loudly, Lin Xiao looked at the boat, suddenly frowned slightly and whispered.
"Go back to the cabin..."
"What?" Mu Xiyun asked subconsciously.
"Go back to the cabin!"
Lin Xiao shouted loudly, grabbed Fang Liang and the boatman and threw them back.
At the same time, the man raised his bamboo hat, and a long bow flashed out from his hands. There was a sharp crackling sound, which made the river surface wrinkle.
"Boom——!"
Three flying arrows came with the sound of true energy breaking through the air, and they shot out!
