Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 178
The spring breeze moistened things silently, and the two days of fine weather melted away the remaining ice on the river dozens of miles from Tongzhou to the capital.

Taking advantage of the warm south wind, the big ship moved fast and steadily.

Knowing that she was about to arrive at the pier, Jin Xi, who was tidy and tidy, slowly walked out of the cabin door, and walked towards Qin Xiao who was leaning on the railing and lost in thought.

Qin Xiao heard the soft and subtle footsteps behind him, and immediately turned his head. Seeing the well-dressed Jin Xi, his eyes lit up. He was amazed for a moment, and then he became cautious. He really didn't want others to see such a carefree look like Lan Fanghua. The outstanding, so glamorous Jin Xi.

"Are you sure you're going to dress up like this and appear in front of everyone?" Qin Xiao touched his freshly cleaned chin, looked Jin Xi up and down, and said in a suspicious tone.

"Isn't it appropriate?" Jin Xi looked down at her own attire, and after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to appear in front of everyone with a noble and elegant posture.Is it out of date for her to choose this dress?No, I received a letter from Jinwen a few days ago, saying that this horse-face skirt with tassels is the most popular style in Beijing.When the mansion was making clothes for changing seasons, Jinxiu fell in love with a dress like this, but Jue preempted it, and Jinxiu made a big fuss in anger. In the end, the second wife paid her own money to make an extra dress for her, and the work was over!
It has to be said that Jin Wen's letter contained a lot of information, and Jin Xi had to think for several days to understand why Jin Wen wrote such a trivial matter in the letter.After she figured it out, she was a little excited in secret. The fight between the eldest and second wife of the Zhou mansion was so fierce, it was good for her and not bad for her!
Qin Xiao opened his eyes and said nonsense, "You'd better change it to another one, this one...is really ugly!"

"But it's too late!" Jin Xi raised his head, and he could already see the bluestone-strewn pier in the capital from a distance. To change clothes, you have to match the corresponding buns and jewelry. How can such a short time be enough?

In order to achieve his goal, Qin Xiao persevered and said: "I let the big ship break down on the spot, when will you change it and when will you leave!"

Jin Xi looked back at the countless cargo ships behind the official ship, and immediately shook his head.If it doesn't look good, it won't look good, anyway, she didn't dress up like this for the sake of looking good.The big ship broke down on the spot, blocking the channel, and the ships behind had to scold three generations of her ancestors from their graves.

Although she didn't care, she was afraid that the Cao Gang gang members who knew the inside story would come out and make trouble.At the feet of the Son of Heaven, one thing more is worse than one thing less!
Jin Xi made up his mind not to change his clothes, and Qin Xiao didn't want to be against her because of such a trivial matter, so he glanced around and smiled slightly: "It's windy outside, go in and wait, I'll call you when it stops. !"

The willow wind blowing on the face is not cold, it is the bright early spring time, the river is misty and clear, and the river gulls are dotted, Jin Xi greedily glanced at the surrounding scenery, originally wanted to say that it was okay.The merchants and boatmen who accidentally saw the nearby ships kept rolling their eyes around her, either greedy or surprised, which made her very uncomfortable.

It's as if these people are not looking at a human being, but a commodity up for grabs.

On the merchant ship closest to her, two fat-headed merchants in brocade jackets pointed at her, talked together, and looked at her from time to time, laughing inexplicably.Seeing that Jin Xi saw them, one of them was a little thinner with pea eyes, closed the fan in his hand, and cupped his hands towards her with a playful smile.

The slightly chubby one with a face longer than a horse's also whistled loudly, took out a bank note from his sleeve and shook it twice at her.The distance is too close, and the bright red seal of the Four Seas Bank on the 200 taels of silver note can be clearly seen.

Jin Xi had even visited brothels, so of course she knew what the two men meant, so she blushed with anger.Nima, this is the first time someone has been molested at this age, and it's still being molested by these two pig-headed and dog-headed things.

Taking two deep breaths, Jin Xi turned around to go back to the room.I will endure!It's an embarrassment for them to know the same level of knowledge as this kind of people!
Qin Xiao squinted at the two people's every move. There was no change on his face, but his eyes were full of blackness. He grabbed Jinxi's arm and smiled suddenly: "Wait a minute! I'll do a trick for you. You can leave after watching it." !"

Jin Xi frowned and turned around, before he had time to say anything, Qin Xiao told Zhou Qingniu: "Last time you boasted that you have the kung fu of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, and I am in a good mood today, so you show me your bow with my bow. "

"Yes! The villain made a fool of himself!" Zhou Qingniu was overwhelmed by Jinfeng's archery last time, and has been pestering Jinfeng to learn archery for more than half a year.I have been worrying about not having a chance to show it in front of Qin Xiao, and my eyebrows are happy when I hear this.Teng Teng Teng trot all the way to the cabin to take out Qin Xiao's bow.

He took out a long arrow with wild goose feathers and put it on the beef tendon bowstring with the thickness of a finger, and pulled the bow with a bang. The hornbow is half drawn.Immediately flushed with embarrassment, he gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask what your lord is using as a target?"

"Hmm..." Qin Xiao glanced around aimlessly, raised his hand and pointed to the boat where the two fat guys were standing, "Shoot that mainsail's rigging!"

"Okay!" Zhou Qingniu also saw the actions of the two fat pigs just now, and almost exploded his lungs, but the masters didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to act rashly, he was eager to hear this.

Angry is angry, but it is not easy to shoot an arrow through the rigging on the mainsail of that ship.Not to mention that both ships were underway, the mainsail was in the wind, and the sail ropes were shaking wildly.

Even if the sail rope is still, it is not an easy task to shoot from the bottom up to the hemp rope tied to the mast several feet high.

Zhou Qingniu straddled his horse and raised his bow to aim for a while, but the long arrow in his hand hadn't been released yet.

Jin Xi also frowned secretly, the arrow hit the target, and the sail that weighed hundreds of kilograms fell instantly, at least it would delay the boat's journey, at worst it might smash the boat in half.Even if no one is killed, Yu Shi will not spare Qin Xiao.

The arrow missed, Zhou Qingniu lost face, and Qin Xiao also lost face.After being away from the capital for so many years, those idlers with bad mouths will definitely slander Qin Xiao in different ways.

She likes Qin Xiao to come forward to protect her, but she doesn't want to see Qin Xiao do such unflattering things.

And seeing that boat, with the sign of the Second Prince's Mansion planted on the bow, Jin Xi is even more unwilling to let Qin Xiao make such a strong enemy for herself.

I have already offended the third prince, and if I offend the second prince, I will not be able to live in the future!

Jin Xi reached out to stop Zhou Qingniu, "Forget it! I don't like watching archery!"

Zhou Qingniu stared at it for a long while, the arrow in his hand was already ready to go, but when Jin Xi stopped him, he immediately lost his temper, knowing that the arrow would not hit the target, so he immediately regained his posture and looked at it in a state of bewilderment. Qin Xiao.

Seeing that Zhou Qingniu had no confidence in his own archery skills, Qin Xiao went up and kicked him on the ass, cursing: "If there is an enemy in front who wants your life, you also take the bow? If you miss the shot, you have to let the arrow go." Lixian, even if you just distract your opponent, you still have a chance to survive. You will be deducted from your salary for three months, and you will be spared once, and the next time you will just pack up and leave. The young master does not support you. Arrow waiting to die idiot!"

"Yes!" Zhou Qingniu was scolded for a while, and his salary was deducted for three months. Instead of being annoyed, his face was beaming.No wonder he was able to hit the target with a hundred paces, but Jin Feng kept shaking his head, saying that he only learned form but not spirit.It turned out that what he lacked was not skill, but this kind of determination to hit the target and never return!
Jin Xi was also taken aback, he didn't expect that Qin Xiao's seemingly nonsense behavior implied the painstaking efforts to train his confidants.What's more, he never expected that Qin Xiao, who is used to being undisciplined and does not follow the rules, can use the principle of "use troops with courage and never slacken" to the extreme.

He is indeed Mr. Yun Zong's student, and he is indeed the man she admires!
Compared with raising a capable subordinate, the trouble of being impeached by the censor is negligible.

Jin Xi stepped forward and smiled at Zhou Qingniu, "The shot went wrong, and I only paid 50 taels of silver for the show. If I hit the shot, I not only paid the show money, but also gave an extra 50 taels of silver."

"Thank you Princess!" Zhou Qingniu smiled redly.He is not a fool, he knows that what Jin Xi gave was not money for watching the show, but to let him let go of his gains and losses and give his best.

Zhou Qingniu cleared away the last obstacle in his heart, and then raised his bow with a rounded momentum. Even Jinxi, a layman, could see that his movements were fundamentally different from those just now.

Opening the bow in a semicircle, Zhou Qingniu raised his bow with his body up, aimed slightly, and the long arrow in his hand pierced through the air with a sound of 'swoosh'.Jin Xi stared at the arrow, while Qin Xiao and Zhou Qingniu closed their eyes and felt the arrow with their hearts.

With a loud "bang", the mainsail, which was more than ten feet high, suddenly fell, and the huge hull was shaken by the smash, and it turned half a circle against the current, and lay across the river.The top cabin was smashed into ruins, and pieces of wood flew everywhere.

If it goes like this, the big ship will enter the water within two hours.

The two fat men who had been molesting Jinxi on the deck before crawled out from under the mainsail in a daze.Before he could stand up straight, a few pieces of wood flew over, covering his head and face, and knocking them down again.

"Who...has the guts of a bear? Let's see whose boat it is..."

"Come on, grab those beasts and don't let them escape..."

The two of them lay on the deck with bruises and swollen faces, their mouths still talking.

At this time, the side chord deck was halfway through, and a crack more than two inches wide was opened with a 'click'. As the hull was swayed by the river, this crack continued to extend down a little bit.Uncharacteristically, the boatmen on board were not in a hurry to rescue the boat, but instead huddled together one by one, watching the seam grow bigger and bigger, as if expecting the big boat to enter the water.

Jin Xi looked at these people with a frown, always feeling that there was something strange about them.

Qin Xiao took the bow, put on a long arrow and aimed at the two of them, Jin Xi grabbed him, "What are you doing?" Shooting the mainsail and shooting people are two different things!

"Don't worry!" Qin Xiao turned his face slightly, giving Jin Xi a big smile.At this time, the two fat men were still yelling and cursing, and at some point there were more than a dozen big men with big arms and round waists, and everyone had an expression on their faces that they wanted to eat people.Without exception, there is still a shining steel knife in their hands.

The one-eyed dragon in the lead kept yelling at the boat boss in the bilge, telling him to pull the boat over and stop Jinxi and his boat.

It seemed that even if Qin Xiao knelt down and begged for mercy, he would not let them go!

Jin Xi had no choice but to let go, and Zhou Qingniu yelled, and the guards on the boat also showed their knives.

The boss of their boat ordered the boatmen to stop the oars with a crying voice.If it doesn't stop, the two ships will collide.This is the king of Hades fighting with little ghosts, he just pointed out that this boat is eating, and if it crashes, how can he survive!
Those men in black swarming over the springboard were already confronting the guards with swords and guns. Qin Xiao seemed not to notice the chaos in the bottom cabin, and took out a long arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring.

The horn bow was suddenly drawn into a full moon, and the long arrow in his hand had already been shot without aiming.

Nocking the arrow, raising the bow, and releasing the arrow are all done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Jin Xi almost clapped her hands and applauded, but when she looked at the direction of the two arrows, her heart sank suddenly, and she thought to herself, it's broken!
