Chapter 165 Catching Up With Them
Tao Yinhe rode away, leaving He Chuanjiang looking at his leaving figure with a puzzled expression.

Just now He Chuanjiang looked at those words repeatedly to confirm that he read it correctly. What was written on it was indeed Qingque Pavilion.

Qingque Pavilion is a complicated place. On the surface it is a teahouse, but in fact it is an institution for communicating information about the government and the rivers and lakes and various organizations, including talents, bounties, flying pigeons, strategies, celebrity lists, assassination lists, and so on.

Rich people like to buy rights here, people with power like to buy peace here, and even people who have nothing to worry about like to wander here.

One of the biggest features here is that it only costs 50 taels to set up a pavilion and become the owner of the pavilion for people to find.

In the past, bounty and killer organizations set up the most accounts here, and they waited for people to come and spend money to hire them. Now there are some literati and refined scholars.

All dealings in Qingque Pavilion are extremely concealed, and they are all handled through Qingque Pavilion. In order to protect their century-old reputation, Qingque Pavilion is very strict. Unless the owner of the pavilion is willing to disclose it, they will not easily reveal who it is, even if some murder cases People who involved the imperial court came here to inquire, and the Qingque Pavilion had a way to stop it.

Do not recognize justice, do not recognize conscience, do not recognize family, do not recognize the country, the entire Qingque Pavilion is like a numb and cold machine, but it is only a corner of the dark market.

However, in recent years, Qingque Pavilion has become more and more inclined to romantic poems and songs. Talented scholars and beautiful ladies like to come here to be arty, and there are not many people who really know what Qingque Pavilion used to do.

He Chuanjiang raised his hand and stroked his beard, wondering who wrote those words. Before, he subconsciously asked if it was written by a girl, but now thinking about it, it should be impossible.

Words rely on practice, and after a long period of practice, no matter how talented you are, it is absolutely impossible to write so steadily.

Who wrote it as a ghostwriter? Maybe it was the idea of ​​the Qingque Pavilion that the ghostwriter gave the little girl.

After all, those who can set up an account in the Qingque Pavilion are either rich or noble. Ordinary people are busy eating and traveling for a living, so they rarely know the existence of such a Qingque Pavilion.

He Chuanjiang sighed softly, the words written on behalf of the author really made him want to make friends.

………………

Seeing the city gate open from a distance, and Tao Yinhe coming out of the city gate, Lao Tong looked at Xia Zhaoyi and said, "The man who came here looks like a general."

"En." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

"I didn't expect a general to come in person."

"I didn't expect that, maybe the battle in the west city is not so tight." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Those people were talking outside the city gate. Tao Yinhe went to the wounded lying on the stretcher, checked briefly, and then called for people to carry the wounded in, and the others followed.

The girl supported the old woman, and before entering the city gate, she turned her head and looked towards Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi and Lao Tong stood on the mountain, covered by lush trees, it was difficult to be caught.

The girl looked around, but couldn't find it. Feeling a little regretful and lonely, she turned and followed the others.

Let's not talk about such a chaotic world, even if it is not a chaotic world, we may not be able to encounter it again in the future.

The city gate closed again.

"They're gone." Old Tong said.

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, turned around and said, "Let's go too."

"Ah."

The weather was fine and the sun was pouring down on the mountains, rivers and cities.

After walking for a stick of incense, a river channel appeared at the bottom of the hillside.

There was a boat leaning against the river, and Zhi Changle was sitting in the boat to take care of Pang Yi, while Qingyun was grazing on the bank, and the vines on its body were tightly connected to the hull of the boat.

The river channel is not wide enough, and the draft of the hull is not enough, so it can only be pulled by manpower first.

Zhi Changle and Lao Tong each pulled the cane, and together with Qingyun, they took the boat downstream. Xia Zhaoyi walked in the front, clearing away the sharp stones on both sides.

When they finally reached the riverside, a huge river wind blew, Zhi Changle and Lao Tong stopped to take a deep breath, and felt that the river wind was so comfortable for the first time.

"My God." Branch Chief shouted happily.

Old Tong and Xia Zhaoyi raised their heads.

Zhi Changle stretched out his finger: "Look quickly! Look!"

The upstream water was surging and turbid, the yellow ones were mud, the red ones were blood, and there were still large pieces of corpses floating on some water surfaces, many of which were blocked by the reefs by the river and piled up into mounds.

Old Tong watched from afar and said, "These corpses don't seem to be soldiers."

"The blood is fresh, it may have flowed down from the battlefield, as for the corpse... it may be the people who died of starvation, Zhao Yuan will not let people throw the corpse in the river." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Moreover, many of those corpses have lost their appearance, some are highly decomposed, and some are swollen with bubbles. They have been dead for many days.

Old Tong said lightly: "This is really..."

"I want to pay my respects..." Zhi Changle looked towards them.

"You can do whatever you want," Xia Zhaoyi said.

Zhi Changle walked forward, knelt down, kowtowed heavily to the corpse on the far river, raised his hands in salute, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times.

Old Tong raised his eyebrows, walked up, and knelt down together.

………………

Pulling the boat onto the river, the rattan on Qingyun's body was untied, Lao Tong led Qingyun into the boat, and tied Qingyun to the stern.

There is a low table, a pile of wood, and two small benches on the boat.

Xia Zhaoyi stood at the bow of the boat and raised her eyes to look into the distance, the river wind blows her broken hair flying, her fair face is reflected in the river sky, her eyebrows and eyes are clean, calm and peaceful.

The oars were embedded in the middle of the hull, and Lao Tong and Zhi Changle ferryed together. When the boat completely entered the river, the surging current drove the boat to drift far away.

Lao Tong and Zhi Changle seldom take a boat, and they are a little scared, but when they looked up, they saw the thin figure of the girl sitting on the bow with her knees hugged, in the wind and waves, calm and calm.

"Ali!" Old Tong shouted loudly, "It's a bit too dangerous on your side!"

How could Xia Zhaoyi hear it? Now that she is riding the wind and waves, her ears are filled with the sound of the wind. She looks at the distant sky with distant eyes, not knowing what she is thinking.

"Is that a boat?" Lin Zongqi whispered.

Li Xiao was looking at Yuanjiang, when he heard that he looked towards where Lin Zongqi was looking, he nodded, "It seems so."

The river is turbulent, and the small boat is driving fast. Fortunately, this river is flat and open, without sharp turns, otherwise, the boat would have capsized in such a fast-moving water.

"How can there be a boat at a time like this?" Cai He said from the side.

"There is someone at the bow." Li Xiao said, and then stepped forward fiercely, his black eyes fixed on the figure at the bow.

It's too far away, so I can't see clearly, but I can vaguely tell if it's a child or a girl!

"There are people in the boat," Lin Zongqi stared at that side, his eyes almost blurred, and shouted, "There seems to be a horse?"

Is it her? !

Not sure.

But he would rather admit his mistake than let it go, he has to investigate carefully!

"Go!" Li Xiao turned around and strode towards the mount, "Go! Let me catch up with this boat!"

　QAQ, I saw Ah Shu bubbling, what, that's great~~ I love you love you!
