Lord of Hongmeng

Chapter 502 Ferry
After leaving Xiqiao Village, Chen Xuan headed east all the way, there was a big city there, as for whether he had a look or not, he would know.

And along the way, I saw a lot of interesting things, of course, most of them were bookish rushing for exams, and there were few single-travelers like him, because they were not fools and knew that there were quite a few Thieves and robbers and the like, you can't be careless, if something happens, it will be miserable, it will be even worse, and your life may not be saved.

Chen Xuan thought it was good to be together like this, but without the protection of force, wouldn't this be a group of big fat sheep trying to kill them all.

It's not impossible, but some bold robbers will dare. This is a group of big fat sheep. If you make a vote, it will be enough to eat for a few days. Naturally, you will not let it go. Naturally, the timid ones will not. There may not be too many people. Powerful.

"Brother, why don't we go together?" A scholar stepped forward and asked.

Chen Xuan looked at it, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "Brother, it's good for you to be together like this, but facing a group of vicious robbers, wouldn't you just be wiped out in one go? If you have a bit of force, it's okay, just look at you?"

Although these words are not pleasant, they may not be unpleasant, the fact is that, when the scholar heard it, his face became ugly, and some other scholars also said the same, but they said it with good intentions, but it was the truth. How can there be a good face.

These scholars want to object, but they can't make a reason. More people don't necessarily mean victory. Otherwise, there will be no wars in history where fewer people win more. Besides, these scholars are not fighters. What's the use of having more people? Talking to unreasonable robbers can only bring bad luck, and even worry about life. How many people can do such things as mighty and unyielding.

You can't do great things with your blood and blood, you will only be dazzled, and calm thinking is the key.

"If you go on the road like this, maybe some cowardly thieves won't come forward, but those who are bold, so don't look down on those who practice martial arts. Only ancient culture and martial arts are equal. If there is a lack of generals, then who will guard the frontier? Who will come?" If we want to block the Bingfeng, we cannot do without civil servants, without them, the country's government affairs will not be able to function, and it will become chaotic, how to provide logistics."

Chen Xuan looked at them still unwillingly, and then looked at some warriors hiding aside, thinking that they were hired secretly, but these scholars didn't know, their elders knew clearly that the road was not peaceful, just Relying on these scholars is useless, it is difficult to hold a knife, how can you escape, maybe you will die on the road, that is really tragic.

Chen Xuan slapped the fan, and said sarcastic words: "If you are safe and sound on this journey, don't you know how to deal with the problem in the back? Your parents didn't plan at all, so you can rest assured that you will go on the road like this?"

Looking at these scholars, many of them are obviously different. It can be seen from the clothes that rich people and poor people can be identified at a glance, and these rich young masters think they are very strong, but they don’t know how many warriors are behind them to protect them. Looking at how much money was spent to let them feel the place of the exam in peace, this can't help but make people feel a sense of weeping.

"You scholar, after talking so much, you just don't want to go with us, okay, let's go, leave him alone." A scholar who was obviously born as a rich young master said very angrily, and sent several other young master scholars together. He also said that he was moved, and left without hesitation. As for the other poor scholars, they didn't dare to talk back, and they were told as soon as they went out to follow them.

When Chen Xuan saw it, he couldn't help shaking his head, forget it, although money can buy many things, but true feelings cannot be bought, even if you get a friendship by chance, once it is tainted by money, it will deteriorate sooner or later, so regret it That's it.

I didn't follow these scholars, anyway, I walked forward, I didn't care about the length of time, and those scholars who passed by him didn't know what to do. Please persuade me, many scholars have said it, but he smiled and said She declined, thinking it was because she didn't want to take the exam. In that case, she could only find the direction by herself, and the court didn't have to think about it.

In this way, after crossing a hillside, you can see the big river in the distance. There are already many boats waiting, and these boats are only for crossing the river and can make money. It is also a good choice, which is convenient for others. It is also convenient for myself.

Looking at the sky, Chen Xuan didn't procrastinate any longer, and hurried to the ferry, paid the fare, and boarded a small ferry.

"Guests, please sit still, the boat is about to sail, sit still." The boatman shouted loudly, and then began to set sail.

Chen Xuan looked at the people on the boat, most of them were scholars, and there were also some businessmen. Most of the people who came here were small businesses and didn't make a lot of money, but it was good enough to support their families , It was very hard along the way, and it was at the same level as scholars, which is true. You can see that the scholars here are as high-minded, and you can understand when you look down on other industries.

Thinking in my heart, I didn't show anything on my face. Fortunately, although this river is not small, it doesn't need to spend too much time. It only takes one hour. It can also allow the boatman to go back and forth several times a day and earn a lot of money. A lot of money, more convenient for some passers-by on the road.

"Have you heard that there is a powerful robber in front of him, who seems to have killed many people, and there are also many scholars."

"No way, the court doesn't care about it, but we are going to take the exam. If that's the case, who would dare to go?"

"Who cares, what to do, those robbers saw the officers and soldiers coming, they immediately withdrew, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, how to chase after them."

"Then what should we do? What should we do? It's better to go together. Maybe those robbers will have some scruples."

"That's even worse. I heard that the ones who died were the fellow scholars. Although some people attacked secretly, they still couldn't beat the robbers. They are too powerful. It would be good if they could escape a few times. Those who haven't practiced a few times are considered Let you escape, there is no place to escape."

Immediately, the scholars on board panicked. What should we do? If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be troublesome?

And this trouble is especially related to life, which is even more important. Once something happens and life is gone, how can you think about other things? What else can the court do? Do you want to do farm work or do business? They are absolutely unwilling. They all have a fluke mentality and it won’t happen to them. Maybe those robbers have left long ago. How could they stay where they are? , This kind of fluke mentality is quite common.

"This is what people who escaped from the front said a few days ago. They died so badly. They didn't even have the body. It's very miserable."

A gust of cool wind is constantly attacking the people on the boat, whether they are scholars or businessmen, they are all very afraid of this. Robbers don’t know how to reason. If they cut you off, they just cut you off. It won’t do much, beg for mercy Even more useless, it will only increase the lethality of the robbers. People who may have encountered it before will know a lot, and may leave a psychological shadow.

There are quite a few people who retreat. After all, who wants to face robbers who kill without blinking an eye, especially those scholars, who are very weak. How to fight, no, just running is a problem. Needless to say, there will be no escape. Yes, the tragic end was already doomed to be miserable, and there were bursts of icy chill on his neck, so he couldn't help shrinking his neck, not daring to speak boldly.

When Chen Xuan saw it, he knew it might be true, but how serious it was, he couldn't tell without seeing it with his own eyes. This is a kind of powerful effect, but the effect is indeed very good, enough to scare off those timid people. , can also save their lives, and some courageous people will not give up. Although the official career is dangerous, there are also great opportunities, and they may be able to become high-ranking officials and become famous for a while.

This may be the scholar's greatest dream, wanting to become a famous official in history and leave his name in history.

"Coward, what's there to be afraid of? Aren't they just bandits? In my hands, if they come, one will die, the other will die, and the other will die. What are you afraid of?" A martial artist dressed as a Jianghu said disdainfully.

"Hmph, you martial artist, what do you know, these bloody robbers are not one person, but a group of people."

"That's right, you can beat them by yourself, you can only talk big, what's the big deal, a warrior."

Soon a group of scholars gave a passionate speech, which made that Jianghu person blush. His speech was obviously not as powerful as before, but he just didn't want to admit defeat. If he didn't know that these scholars have no strength, he might have stepped forward to make gestures. up.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, everyone, it's almost here now, if you don't want to go, you don't have to get off the boat, just turn around and go back, if you encounter robbers, you'd better be mentally prepared, what's the use of arguing " Seeing this, the boatman walked in and separated the two parties. He didn't want to have problems with his clothes and get them back to affect his reputation. Who would come to the boat in the future.

When the two parties saw the boatman coming, they didn't say anything more. They still had to save face. After glaring at each other, they sat down in their seats. The boatman shook his head helplessly when he saw it. This world is still not peaceful. , there is everything.

"In half a moment, the boat will arrive at the other side. Hurry up if you have any preparations. If you don't want to get off the boat, you can send it back as it is. No money will be charged. Calm down, everyone." sit back.

This remark moved many people's hearts, but when they thought that the exam would be wasted this time, they felt a little reconciled, and it was difficult to choose for a while.
