Chapter 3 The Thief

It has been the third day of driving along the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. I passed by Tianjin, Cangzhou, Dezhou, and Linqing. I arrived in Liaocheng. The master's family sent an order and rested in Liaocheng tonight. The ship arrived at the shore. The shopkeeper Huang, Zhang Gongfu Zhang and his subordinates hired Qiaozi to go straight to the inn, leaving most of the guards to guard the ship's cargo!

Ding yi looked at the bridge that was leaving and asked Wang Wu, "The Grand Canal flows slowly, why don't you sail overnight? Anyway, it doesn't take too much manpower. At worst, you can hire a few more boat workers. Time is money. Isn't it good to arrive early?"

Wang Wu smiled, "Didn't you see the magistrate of Hangzhou? There are also young ladies? How could these people squeeze on the boat overnight? There are hot soup and rice on the ashore, and you can also ask prostitutes to sing songs. People are walking on the road and playing with yi road! Different people's fate! We have to stay here." While saying that, he smashed his mouth, and looked very envious. After speaking, he smiled strangely and said to Ding Yi, "I originally planned to go to Jining to stop the boat. It's not far from the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. I heard that it is more prosperous than Liaocheng. Today you knocked the lady into the water. Hehe, now you can only stop in Liaocheng!"

"Aren't Confucius and Mencius' hometowns Qufu and Zoucheng? How come Jining became?" Ding Yi was puzzled.

"Qufu and Zoucheng belong to Jining, let alone Confucius and Mencius! Legend has it that Fuxi, Nuwa, Huangdi, Shaohao, Shaokang were all born in Jining, and there are also the Saint Yan Zi, Zong Sheng Zeng Zi, Shu Sheng Zi Sizi, and Saint Sizi were also born here. They are outstanding and powerful. When I have money, I will move to Jining. I don't expect the saints to be more literary and I can just get a juren!" Wang Wu was a rough man, but he didn't expect that he would have such a big yearning for a literati!

"Tian Tian's martial arts skills are good. I'm not a match for the sword technique alone. What kind of sword technique did she use?" Ding yi asked Wang Wu again.

"You can't call the name of a young lady, it's in order! I heard that when I was a child, my eldest lady was weak and sick, and my mistress believed in Buddhism. Emei, Sichuan is a famous Buddhist mountain. I handed over the eldest lady to Emei as a lay disciple since I was a child. The eldest lady was exposed to the Buddha's aura and she was in good health! I used the Emei sword technique, but I don't know which one it was. It's only been two months since the young lady came home."

Ding Yi didn't know the situation in the martial arts world, so he asked a few more questions, "What is Emei's status in the martial arts world?"

"The master of the southwest is as famous as the Wudang of Shaolin. Legend has it that the Emei Sect appeared in the Warring States Period, but was destroyed by the war. Guo Xiang, the daughter of the hero Guo Jing, was established again at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Emei Sect supported the Xia Wang Ming Yuzhen and competed for the tripod with our Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Emei Sect leader Zhou Zhiruo defeated Zhang Wuji, who claimed to be invincible. When Ming Yuzhen established the Daxia in Sichuan, Emei throne in the southwest martial arts world, claiming to be "the trees bloom with flowers, and the flowers are supported by eight leaves". There are many people and power to compete with the Ming Cult. Later, my Ming Dynasty defeated Ming Yuzhen, and the Emei Sect closed the mountains to recuperate. It rarely appeared in the martial arts world in the past century!"

"The tree blooms in all kinds of flowers and leaves, what is that?" Ding Yi was puzzled.

"Wuhua was the five major sects in the southwest at that time, and Baye was the eight small sects. It took too long and I can't remember it clearly. There were probably Qingcheng sects and other sects, and other sects might have been destroyed when they compete for the tripod in the early Ming Dynasty." Wang Wu said vaguely.

"There is actually a Qingcheng Sect! Emei is an enemy of our Ming Dynasty, why didn't it be eradicated?" Ding Yi thought about it and asked again.

Wang Wu said, "That's not clear, I only know such a little thing." Ding Yi thought something, it seemed that there was something else inside.

Niu Er interrupted, "Brother Ding, today you knock the young lady into the water, be careful of being retaliated!" Today Ding yi helped Niu Er take revenge. Niu Er admired Ding yi very much. Although he was older than Ding yi, he respectfully called Ding yi the little Ding yi.

Wang Wu said, "We have to be careful these days. We don't understand the young lady's temperament. At least the master is unhappy anyway! I think it is most likely that I won't give it to you when I go to the place to pay for the wages."

"How can I do this? I'll just say that I can't get the money. Brother Ding, if the master doesn't give you money, I'll help you find the master to argue with him." Niu Erdao was enthusiastic and began to stand up for the unjust things, and several other guards were also helping him.

"It's okay, I can solve it! Thank you Brother Niu!" Although Ding Yi didn't care, he bowed to everyone and expressed his gratitude! This trip was just a sailboat, and the wages didn't matter. The important thing was to get the Evil-Breaking Sword Guide early!

After chatting, when several people were about to go to bed, someone suddenly called Wang Wu on the dock.

Wang Wu hurriedly jumped ashore and whispered to the people who came, and returned to the boat and said, "What happened, Ding Hao and Niu Er, come with me, you two are here to watch the boat." Wang Wu told the two guards who were left behind. Two or three guards from each boat gathered with Wang Wu.

The night wind blows gently, the moonlight is bright, the night is already late, there are no pedestrians on the road, it is very quiet, and the scattered figures of pedestrians are moving forward quickly.

Everyone went straight to the inn in the city. Ding Yi didn't want to make trouble. When asked Wang Wu, Wang Wu said that there was a thief who surrendered to the shopkeeper Tian, ​​which seemed to be unfavorable, so he ordered guards from all ships to support him.

After walking straight for two hours, I saw the brightly lit inn from afar. When I got closer, it was boiling and it was so noisy. Seeing the guards coming, the housekeeper hurriedly came out to give him an appointment. The Tian family often experienced big scenes, and arranged in an orderly manner. Some guarded the front yard, some guarded the back yard, and some arranged to go up to the roof. The entire inn was even filled with torches. Wang Wu and his team were asked to protect the back yard.

Niu Er yawned and said to Wang Wu, "Brother Wang, is it so sudden that this is the matter? You have to ask the master to increase the money. You can't be in vain, you're so sleepy."

Wang Wu asked Ding Yi and Niu Er to guard the backyard first. He asked the housekeeper for a while and came back. He said that a thief submitted a letter and wanted to visit the shopkeeper Tian at night. The details were not clear. Anyway, just keep it well.

The three of them faced different directions and walked back and forth slowly in the backyard. While walking, they also exchanged their experiences. Wang Wuyi would ask Ding Yi to pay attention to the roof next to the building, Niu Er pay attention to the big tree next to the inn, and go to the ditch to peek, very seriously.

It was so well like this. The second floor of the inn suddenly opened the window facing the backyard. His head was stretched out and helloed the three of them. The three of them looked up and saw that it was Tian Tian’s eldest daughter.

Tian Tian pressed his hands on the window frame, put his chin on his hands, looked at the three of them with a smile, and said to the three of them in a low voice, "Parking well, call me if you have any movement, I'll help you!" Tian Tian didn't say anything when he saw the three of them, and said, "The enemy is very powerful, can you do it?"

"Miss knows who the enemy is?" Wang Wu stopped and looked up.

Tian Tian smiled and said, "Of course I know, I'm scared to death. Someone is coming to pick flowers!" But he was not afraid in his voice. He took out a sword with his right hand and waved it gently at the window twice. "Let me catch it, draw a turtle on his face, and dare to come and provoke me!" He didn't bother me, and he wanted the thief to come early!

"Who is it?" Ding Yi also stopped and asked.

"Can you read?" Tian Tian smiled like a flower. "Why didn't that guy come yet? I'm anxious!"

Seeing Ding Yi nodding, Tian Tian dropped a piece of paper from the upper floor. Ding Yi hurriedly picked it up and opened it to see it. He saw that the above said in a cursive way, "I saw the beauty coming out of the bath, like a legitimate immortal coming to the dust. My love is pleasant to his beauty, my heart is fluctuating but not happy. The unscrupulous matchmaker receives joy, and supports the waves to send lovesickness. Floating in the long river and forgetting to return, thinking continues and increasing admiration. A beautiful lady is a gentleman. Tonight, I will marry you, and the night is romantic, and it is right at the right time!

Traveling alone for thousands of miles, Tian Boguang prays for a hundred times”

The font strokes are smooth and lively and coherent, which shows that the writers have good quality!

"It's all your fault. I'm going to make me in the water and let you see it!" Tian Tian said with a smile. Unfortunately, the torches in the courtyard were too bright, and I couldn't see Tian Tian's face clearly, and I couldn't hear Tian Tian's intoxicated voice saying to himself, "I saw the beauty coming out of the bath, like a legitimate immortal coming to the dust. My love is pleasant, my heart is fluctuating but not happy. The unscrupulous matchmakers use joy to meet the waves to send lovesickness. Floating in the long river and forgetting to return, my thoughts continue to increase my admiration. A graceful lady is a gentleman. Tonight, I will marry you. I have a stinky embryo, and I have a vision. If I don't say that the night is romantic, what's wrong with me going with you! Humph, I'll grab you and smash your butt." Tian Tian's eyes were hazy, and his tone was coquettish, and he was addicted to romantic feelings. It was the girl who was in love with spring and her heart was secretly promising!

Wang Wu looked at it and asked, "What does this mean? I know every word, I can't understand it!" Ding Yi said, "This means: Seeing a beautiful woman come out of the water, like a fairy from the sky descending to earth, I deeply admire her virtuousness and beauty, and my mood is fluctuating and depressed. I have no good matchmaker to convey my love, so I express my love with affectionate eyes, wandering around the long river without knowing to return, and longing continues to continue, increasing my longing. That beautiful and virtuous woman is a good goal for a gentleman. I will take you away tonight. This is a good time for the romantic night!"

Wang Wu was furious: "A traitor, a bitch who doesn't know how to die!" He shook his head and was shocked when he saw the title of the title, "Tian Boguang! This guy is very skilled in martial arts, we are no match!"

"Is Tian Boguang very powerful?" Tian Tian heard Wang Wu's angrily shouting, and then came to his senses, as if he had remembered something, and said, "Give me the paper back! Hand it over to me!"

After taking back the paper ball, Tian Tian said, "I'll go to bed first. Remember to call me when the enemy is coming!" After that, he shrank back. The window was not closed, hoping that the enemy would come soon!
