Chapter 52: Putting the blame on

"Cheer, the front is not far from the wall. Should I catch the boat overnight or just rest?" The boatwoman brought a basin of fish and a bowl of rice and asked diligently.

It was a little far away to Haizhou. You had to follow the Bian River to Chuzhou, then along the Huai River to Lianshui, go ashore from Lianshui, and go to Haizhou from land. The destination of the ship was Lianshui, but Xu Xian gave him a high shipment, and he could buy their small boat for 400 jin.

"Look, if the elder brother is not tired, just rush forward. If you are tired, stop and rest."

"I'm not tired, I'm afraid that the guy will hold it in the boat for a long time, so I'm so anxious that we don't want to park here either."

“Why?”

"Customer, where do you look?" The boatwoman pointed to the southwest.

“Where is water transfer?”

Jiao River originates from Dangshan, converges with the Bian River in Suzhou, and pours into the Huai River south. Here, Jiao River is not far from the Bian River.

"It's not the water, it's the Ghost City in Gaixia."

"Gaisha Ghost City?"

"You can hear about the Battle of Gaixia."

"Hear."

"A lot of people died in that battle."

This battle was the most famous battle in the Qin and Han dynasties. Xiang Yu had 100,000 troops and horses. Liu Bang had 100,000 troops and horses surrounded him. Ying Bu came from Shouchun, Peng Yue came from Changyi north, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought from Xingyang and went to Gaixia. The most deadly thing was that Han Xin led his troops from Chengyang and Pengcheng south. The four troops dispatched a total of 600,000 troops. Seeing that something was wrong, Xiang Yu was preparing to retreat. Han Xin decisively divided his troops to attack the Chu army in two groups. He was defeated by Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu was pursuing, the two armies were in a stalemate under Han Xin's command. At this time, Han Xin personally led a large army to fight. Xiang Yu was forced to retreat to Gaixia City and build a city again.

Although Xiang Yu was defeated, his troops were at a disadvantage, but the Han army suffered heavy casualties. Later, he failed to attack Gaixia City, but instead increased the casualties. In the end, Zhang Liang used a plan to defeat the morale of the Chu army. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Xiang Yu killed his beloved concubine Yu Ji and led 800 cavalry to break through the siege and fled south at night. However, although the Han army won at that time, the death toll was even greater than that of Xiang Yu. In that case, at least 200,000 people died in that battle.

"Keep, the ancient city built by King Xiang was still there, but it was abandoned for a long time. But there were too many people who died. During the day, it made people feel yin. At night, ghosts and wolves howl, and the people dare not live nearby. There are not far from here, and there are also many passing boats that dare not bend and rest nearby. However, some literati and elegant guests like it, and they are brave and often insist on the boatmen to stop the boat and say that they want to go up to pay their respects to mourn some ancient battlefield. So I ask you."

Xu Xian was also dressed as a scholar. Although he was young, he was precocious at this time, and even those who passed the Jinshi exam at the age of fifteen or sixteen were not surprising.

Xu Xian looked out at him.

Gaixia was about ten miles away from here, but at that time, the ancient battlefield of Gaixia was very large and easy to think about. More than 700,000 people did not have to fight, and they were all very large areas wherever they stood. Even if they were nearly ten miles away, the shore was still a bit deserted. Only a small village was seen, with several families living sparsely.

This area has a rich and beautiful land, which is unimaginable in its previous life, but there are really ghosts and gods in this world.

Xu Xian was about to speak when the boatwoman on a small boat next door said, "Sister, no, white light rose every night since last year. It is said that treasures were found inside, attracting many people to hunt for treasures. Fights happen every day, and the government cannot control it. Now it is different from the past."

The Bian River was well transported, with ships coming and going, and the big ships were walking in the middle of the river. There were many merchant ships from powerful families and official ships from the government. They rushed around. Like the small boat that Xu Xian was riding on, they could not afford to offend them, so they had to follow the edge of the Bian River. The two ships were close, and the people on the boat could hear their speeches, and occasionally they could talk.

"I'm trying to die, where is the ghostly aura? What treasure is there to look for?" said the shipwoman Xu Xian.

"Those are all fierce people. What are the fears of ghosts? Is the ghost afraid of them bad?"

Xu Xian said: "Stop fighting, let's continue on the road."

What a treasure, he thought of the ruins that Qin Suer mentioned. He didn't know if they were, but they didn't want to go up and fight. After that, he looked at the rear, and a ship behind followed him slowly. There were many boats in the Bian River, and if he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't notice them.

But Xu Xian has been careful since he set out in the capital.

This is exactly what he needs. He walked into the boat and said to the boatwoman: "Sister, I'm also anxious, so let your officials suffer some hardships."

As he said that, he took out more than twenty Jiaozi, who had been 100% of money.

"Cheer, I can't give it anymore," the boatwoman wanted to push it away.

"Please accept it for you. The boat is on the water, and the river is full of fog. These Jiaozi are just some mulberry paper. You must put them together."

"I know," the boatwoman shivered, wrapped them with oil paper and put them in his arms.

Xu Xian looked at her excited look and sighed slightly.

The night gradually declined. In the first month of the year, there was not much river fog, but some fog rose. The ships were sailing on the Bian Water, and the sound of ships breaking through the waves was heard from time to time.

Xu Xian looked at the back again.

The ship behind was big and fast, and was still hanging from behind slowly.

"It seems that what Qin Su'er said can be believed." Xu Xian said.

Even now, he only believed 60%. He dared not believe it all. Xu Xian placed on the table was not valuable, but if the real Xu Xian was used properly, it would be a good bargaining chip. Besides, whether it was the Demon Sect or the two sects, they all sent people to the capital. The Demon Sect is easy to understand. This time it was not to capture Qin Su'er and go back to make a furnace, but it was mostly to prepare for rebellion. But did the Second Sect have a kind heart to the Song Dynasty?

The boatwoman said a few words to her husband at the stern of the boat.

When he heard Xu Xian add more money, the boatman rowed more happily, and the boat flew like an arrow.

The boatwoman came back and lit the oil lamp for Xu Xian and asked Xu Xian to read the book.

Xu Xian glanced at the ship behind him, and saw that their ship was getting up quickly, and the ship also got up quickly.

Xu Xian stood up and "accidentally" hit the oil jar, and the vegetable oil poured a board. He called out, and the boatwoman said, "It's okay, it's okay," but he was also afraid of the fire. This was on the boat, it was a wooden boat, and he was also afraid of the fire, so he was about to put down the oil lamp and find something to wipe the oil stains clean.

"Sister, I'm sorry," Xu Xian was busy trying to help, but accidentally touched the boatwoman's hand. The oil lamp tilted with his body and fell onto the cabin. There were not many fake products in this era, and the vegetable oil content was almost 100%, and half of the water was not fake. Boom! The flames rose. The boatman was so shocked that he stopped the boat in his hand. In a panic, Xu Xian locked up two fire talismans and continued to attack, and the fire became even stronger.

"My boat!" the boatwoman screamed.

"Sister, it's not good. Jump the ship quickly. If the boat is not there, the person will be there," Xu Xian felt sorry for him and handed over more than a dozen other photos of Jiaozi. He didn't want to be a good person. He was a good person in his previous life and did not receive good rewards. This world-renowned uncle was a good person, but he did not receive good rewards. His parents were a good person, but he did not receive good rewards! But there was still a bottom line, all of whom were miserable, so they could not be wronged.

The boatwoman still wants to save the boat.

Xu Xian was anxious and stuffed more than a dozen more Jiaozi over: "Sister, run away."

Moreover, the ship behind saw the ship catch fire and sailed faster. He was about to catch up. Xu Xian ignored them and jumped into the river with a small bag.

This incident made the people on the boat behind the boat mess up. Four or five people jumped into the water regardless of their whereabouts and swam towards him. But after Xu Xian arrived at Liangshan, he grew up by the water. The water was very good. He threw away the small bag in his hand and tugged it down, diving from the bottom of the river to the underside of a large ship heading north. In the first month, the water was very cold, and there was even some thin ice on the edge of the river that had not melted, but it didn't matter. Xu Xian took out a dagger and stabbed it on the boat, took out the ring from the sea of ​​gods, tied it with silk thread, and tied it tightly to the handle of the dagger. The thought flashed and the person entered the ring space.

...

Ten days later, it was still cold in early spring, but the weather gradually warmed up, and some light green colors appeared on the ground.

Not far away is Qinglong Mountain.

Xu Xian stood up and looked around vigilantly.

It was getting bright, and when it arrived here, it belonged to Liangshan territory. Xu Xian disguised himself as a farmer and wiped his face with charcoal ash. He did not dare to walk on the road, so he carried a shovel and chose the small road.

Seeing that no one was around, he rushed towards Qinglong Mountain quickly. After entering the forest, he entered the ring space. The night fell again, and he came out from it and carefully sneaked towards the Liangshan Village. Here, Liangshan patrol was even more stringent.

Xu Xian was not Xu Xian in the past. He was very familiar with the terrain of Liangshan. It can even be said that letting him come here is safer than entering the ordinary prefecture warehouse. He slowly and carefully sneaked into the Liangshan Dazhai Money and Grain Warehouse, not far away, less than twenty miles away, but it took him four or five hours. Although he was safely scuba here, sweat was already bleak in Xu Xian's forehead.

He sneaked into the money treasury, sneaked into the ring space again, and came out when it was dark. Whether it was the money treasury or the grain treasury, there were many soldiers patrolling, and Xu Xian waited until the third hour to start acting. Seeing that no one was patrolling outside, he threw a string of copper coins in the money treasury into the ring.

Liangshan was getting bigger and bigger, and in the later stage, many soldiers who surrendered or surrendered had been accommodated. So many soldiers had to eat and drink, and even their families had to support them, and they had to rob a lot of money and grain everywhere. The precious gold and silver jewelry was not here, but even Xu Xian didn't know where to place it. But the bulky copper coins were placed in the money warehouse.

There are also many, more than 100,000 yuan!

Xu Xian spent some effort to empty all of them, then took out the prepared silk cloth, nailed it to the wall of the treasury, and wrote a few big words: "If you hurt me, you will be revenged. What you did tonight will be a small warning."

Then he carefully climbed up the beam, climbed onto the roof, uncovered the tiles again, and slipped out along the eaves.

The night became darker and darker, and an owl chirping came from not far away, and there were also a lot of random stalls...
