The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Liu Ziqiu didn't have too much hope, but he still asked loudly: "Boatman, can you reach Luoyang? Can you give me a hand?"

The boat boss was busy packing his things, and without turning his head, he replied casually: "Go, go, don't you see that this is an official ship?"

At this time, a seven or eight-year-old boy hurried to the shore and shouted: "Uncle Zhang, my father is ill. He asked me to tell you that he can't go!"

The boss of the boat who had just coiled the cable yelled: "What! Your father can't go? Then how can I explain to the guests? Oh, that's a big mistake for me!"

The little boy didn't care about him, the letter had been brought, and he ran away in a hurry. The boss of the boat was so anxious that he stomped his feet, making the boat rock back and forth.

Liu Ziqiu wondered: "Boater, aren't you an official ship? Where are the guests?"

"I want you to meddle in your own business!" The boss of the boat grumbled angrily, raised his head suddenly, saw that Liu Ziqiu's clothes were still wet, and couldn't help asking, "Can you use the boat?"

Liu Ziqiu remembered what the boy said, suddenly understood, and said with a smile, "You can pole, row the oar, pull the sail, and row the oars, it just depends on whether you go to Luoyang or not."

The boat boss said happily: "Great, this trip is going to Luoyang, would you like to be a helper?"

Liu Ziqiu frowned, and said in embarrassment: "You are an official ship, I'm afraid..."

"Hey, that flag was made to deceive people! It's for convenience on the way." The boss of the boat was anxious, and told the truth, "However, the guests on board are all young ladies and gentlemen of officials and eunuchs, which is true."

Seeing Liu Ziqiu skillfully heave the anchor and set sail, the captain of the boat finally felt relieved.They traveled early, and there were no other boats on the river at the moment, and this section of waterway was quite stable. Zhang San didn't have to worry about it, so he walked up to the bow of the boat and made friends with Liu Ziqiu: "My name is Zhang, and I am the third eldest. Just call me Zhang San. Brother, what's your name?"

Liu Ziqiu didn't give his real name: "I'm tall, they all call me Da Niu."

"Brother Big Niu, you're pretty good at it, where did you run before?"

After the opening of the canal, more and more people traveled by water, and the number of boats also increased, and there was a shortage of people who could handle boats.But at this time, the imperial court built dragon boats and recruited a large number of sailors, which made this contradiction even more acute.Although there are many boats at the pier, there are not a few boatmen who can't find helpers.

Only by running long distances can you make a lot of money, but you can't do it without helpers, so poaching among colleagues is quite fierce.The helper that Zhang San originally set up probably refrained from the appointment because the other company offered a lot of money, and now Zhang San turned his idea on Liu Ziqiu.

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "I used to run on the sea."

"No wonder you are so skillful!" Zhang San praised, and was about to talk about keeping his long-term cooperation, when he heard bursts of laughter like silver bells in the cabin, a seven or eight-year-old girl holding a ball from the cabin ran out, and a boy's voice shouted from behind: "Little sister, be careful!"

Suddenly, the girl slipped, the ball missed and landed on the deck, and Gu Lulu rolled forward.The girl didn't catch it, and hurried to chase.The ball rolled so fast that it had already fallen into the river.But the girl tripped over the cable at the bow and couldn't hold back her feet. With a scream of "ah", she also fell into the river!

Liu Ziqiu had already seen that the situation was not good, so he roared, jumped up, hooked up the cable with his right foot, and hugged the girl by the waist with both hands.At this time, Liu Ziqiu and the girl were already hanging overboard, and the cable also slid out.Zhang San was already so frightened that he stood in a daze at the bow of the boat, even forgetting to pull the cable.Of course, with his strength, he might not be able to hold the two of them.

The good Liu Ziqiu was unflappable in the face of danger, his right foot secretly pumped his strength, the cable was thrown out in a huge arc, and it was wrapped around the mast, and instantly stretched straight, pulling the mast to "creak".With this force, the falling of Liu Ziqiu and the little girl was slowed down.Liu Ziqiu had freed his left hand to rest on the side of the boat, turned around and stood on the bow again after a beautiful maneuver.

Looking at the little girl in his arms, her face was pale with fright, she pointed at the surging river, and said after a long while: "Ball, ball..."

Liu Ziqiu looked up and saw the red and green ball half-sinking and half-floating in the water, rippling with the waves, but disappeared after a while, and suddenly laughed, saying: "Little guy, I almost lost my life, and I still miss the ball." You wait here obediently, you are not allowed to go anywhere, brother will help you catch the ball."

The little girl nodded, still muttering: "Ball, ball..."

Liu Ziqiu jumped into the river with a leap.Waves splashed on the surface of the water, and Liu Ziqiu had already dived into the bottom.Zhang San also came to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly manipulated the sails to slow down the boat.

After a while, there was a "wow", and Liu Ziqiu emerged from the water, holding the ball high in one hand, and shouted: "Go on!"

The ball was impartial and landed in front of the little girl.When the little girl saw the ball, she suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".

Zhang San quickly put down the cable, pulled Liu Ziqiu up, and said with lingering fear: "If it wasn't for my brother, something big will happen this time..."

At this time, a young man walked up to Liu Ziqiu, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you strong man for saving my little sister."

When he saw this dangerous scene in the cabin just now, he was also frightened and at a loss. He didn't come to his senses until now, but he didn't go to see the younger sister. First, let's thank Liu Ziqiu. This is the demeanor and self-cultivation of a family member.

Liu Ziqiu saw that the young man was handsome and well-dressed, followed by two trembling maidservants, obviously from a wealthy family.But this young man behaved very politely, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help feeling a little bit more fond of him, he smiled back and said, "It's nothing to worry about. Young Master, let's go and see Lingmei first."

After speaking, Liu Ziqiu turned around, took off his shirt, and swirled the water vigorously.He only has this suit of clothes. He crossed the Yangtze River last night and finally covered himself dry. Who would have thought that he would be wet again now.

When the young man saw Liu Ziqiu twisting his clothes, his muscles were tense and he was very strong. However, there were twenty or thirty large and small scars all over his back. Thinking of his agility just now, he couldn't help secretly amazed. , turned around and waved to the rescued little girl, and said, "Guanyin servant girl, come and thank you benefactor."

The girl called Guanyin Maid suddenly stopped sobbing, walked over with the ball in her arms, bowed to Liu Ziqiu, but didn't speak.Seeing that the ball was still dripping water, the boy soaked the clothes of Guanyin's servant girl, so he hurried to grab it.Avalokitesvara's maid just hugged tightly and refused to let go.

Liu Ziqiu put the half-dried clothes back on, then turned around and said with a smile: "Little sister, give the ball to brother, and he will make you a better one when he is free."

Guanyin's servant listened to Liu Ziqiu's words, stretched out her hands, and handed the ball to him.

Liu Ziqiu took the ball and said, "It's windy outside, be careful of catching a cold, go into the cabin."

This time, Guanyin's servant girl didn't listen to his persuasion, she tugged at the hem of his clothes, and refused to move.

Liu Ziqiu knew that this was the little girl's natural reaction of escaping death, being stimulated and insecure, so she couldn't help turning her head to look at Zhang San.

Zhang San knew that this family was a high-ranking official in the court, since Liu Ziqiu saved the young lady of this family, he would be greatly thanked in the future, and he was afraid that he would have to curry favor with him in the future, so he couldn't help but said: "Brother Da Niu, you can go outside. and me."

After finishing speaking, Zhang San hurriedly repacked the cables, adjusted the sails, and continued sailing, as if Liu Ziqiu was the boss, and he became a helper instead.

After entering the cabin, the boy thanked him again and said, "If it wasn't for the strong men to rescue me, my sister would be in danger, and Wuji would be ashamed to see his father."

"Wuji?" Liu Ziqiu couldn't help thinking of Zhang Wuji written by Mr. Jin Yong, and was about to laugh when he suddenly remembered the word "eldest grandson" on the small flag at the bow of the boat. He was shocked and couldn't help asking, "Your name is eldest grandson." Mowgli?"

The boy nodded.

Liu Ziqiu couldn't help being secretly excited, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy in front of him turned out to be the eldest grandson Wuji, the head of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, he was a much more powerful figure than Yuan Tiangang.Li Shimin was able to sit on the throne of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this eldest grandson Wuji can be said to have contributed a lot!Unexpectedly, he is only an eleven or twelve-year-old boy now.So could the little girl I was holding just now be the famous eldest grandson empress?If this is a group photo...

While Liu Ziqiu was thinking wildly, the maid named Guanyin came in from the back cabin after changing into clean clothes.They are the children of a rich family, so naturally they are not as shabby as Liu Ziqiu, who only have a suit of clothes.

Guanyin's servant girl walked to Changsun Wuji's side and sat down quietly without saying a word.After all, she came from a famous family. At this time, there was no trace of panic on her face. Liu Ziqiu was also secretly surprised by her recovery so quickly, and couldn't help asking: "Your name is Changsun Wugou?"

The girl lowered her head and said softly, "My name is Guanyin Maid, not Changsun Wugou."

In the TV series, Empress Changsun's name is Wugou, and Liu Ziqiu suddenly became unsure.Since ancient times, there have been many people with the same name and surname, if she is not the eldest grandson Wugou, then this eldest grandson Wuji is also not that eldest grandson Wuji.

Avalokitesvara looked up and asked, "Big brother, how do you write dirt?"

Liu Ziqiu said without hesitation: "It's the dirt of dirt."

"That's dirty stuff." The girl was a little disappointed, but suddenly became happy again, clapping her hands and said, "Wugou means no dirty things, spotless? That's a good name, I want to be called grandson Wugou too!"

Liu Ziqiu was taken aback, and inadvertently chose a name for Empress Changsun.

But Changsun Wuji scolded: "Guanyin maidservant, don't mess around."

Guanyin's servant girl was not afraid of this elder brother, she made a face and said, "No, I will tell my father when I go back, and I will call my eldest grandson Wugou from now on!"

The boat gradually sailed into Hangou, where there are many dangerous shoals, so you need to be extra cautious.Liu Ziqiu heard Zhang San's call, got up and said goodbye, and went to the bow to help.In fact, even though he is the savior of Guanyin's maidservant, he is only a boatman after all. In this era where there are differences in respect and inferiority, it is impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji brothers and sisters to keep him sitting in the cabin for a long time.

After a few more days, we crossed the Huaihe River, turned into the Tongji Canal, and drove northwest along the Tongji Canal to reach Luoyang.

Holding a long pole in his hand, Liu Ziqiu was trying his best to turn the bow of the boat and adjust the direction, when he heard a sigh from behind.When Liu Ziqiu turned his head to look, it was Zhangsun Wuji standing there, and he couldn't help wondering: "Why is the eldest grandson so emotional?"

For some unknown reason, Changsun Wuji was always unsuspecting when facing Liu Ziqiu, and blurted out, "Do you know how many people died for this Tongji Canal?"
