The ricefield eel firmly resists this behavior.” The Xu Qi'an complexion said seriously, walked away directly. “鳝虽然不是个正经的鳝,但也是有要求的,任何与银子挂钩的交易都是低俗的,是罪恶的。鳝坚决抵制这种行为。”许七安脸色严肃的说完,径直走远了。 Jiang Luzhong looked at his back, the heart was saying, this boy was drinks high.

Provoked the skill of respectable family is too strong, taught the Elder Brother several?” 宋廷风一下子更酸了,“你怎么做到的？撩拨良家的本事太强了,教哥哥几手？” „Elder Brother?” “哥哥？” „Teaches the younger brother several.” “教弟弟几手。” „You cry father.” “你得叫声爹。” „Go away!” Song Tingfeng flatly refuses, he before by Xu Ningyan with similar repertoire deceiving one time. “滚！”宋廷风一口拒绝,他以前被许宁宴用同样的套路给骗过一次。 „Called?” “叫不叫？” „Father.” “爹。” Xu Qi'an smiled, „this girls, like the sand, grasp cannot grip. You must get wet them, not only can grip, but can also show various postures.” 许七安笑了,“这姑娘们呢,就像沙子,强握是握不住的。你得把她们弄湿,不仅能握住,还能摆出各种姿势。” „What do you mean?” Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao have not understood. “什么意思？”宋廷风和朱广孝没听懂。 „Must be distracted, do not walk the kidney.” Xu Qi'an said. “要走心啊,不要走肾。”许七安道。 „Probably a little truth, but you really had the qualifications to say.” Song Tingfeng said, suddenly gets angry: „You deceive a father father, hurries to shout, otherwise I butchered you.” “好像有点道理,但你真的有资格这么说吗。”宋廷风说完,忽然怒道:“你又骗老子一个爹,赶紧喊回来,不然我宰了你。” He was saying throws, the preparation strong person locks the male. 他说着就扑过去,准备强人锁男。 At this time, outside three people of auricles moved, hear to hear the call for help. 这时,三人耳廓一动,听见外头传来呼救声。 „Had an accident...” A Xu Qi'an foot pedal opens Song Tingfeng, cannot attend to wearing the boots, ran out of the room. “出事了...”许七安一脚蹬开宋廷风,顾不得穿靴子,冲出了房间。 The two colleague follows. 两个同僚紧随其后。 Almost at the same time, cultivation base profound Silver Gongs also flushed, later is Copper Gong. 几乎在同时,修为高深的银锣们也冲了出来,随后是铜锣。 Night has not sailed a boat, anchors in a fluent gentle region, kicking that the jet black water surface, a Brave As Tigers Guard man makes an effort, sinks to the water from time to time, from time to time makes an effort to drill. 夜里没有行船,停泊在一处水流平缓的地带,漆黑的水面,一个虎贲卫的汉子使劲的扑腾,时而沉入水中,时而用力钻出来。 He seems like will swim, but under water had anything to hold on him, doom towed toward the water in him. 他看起来是会游泳的,但水底有什么东西拉住了他,死命的把他往水里拖。 „Snort!” “哼！” In the cabin, hears the Jiang Luzhong cold hum/snort. 船舱里,传来姜律中的冷哼声。 Brave As Tigers Guard that falls in the water removed the fetter all of a sudden probably, floats the water surface, has not continued to sink downward. 那落水的虎贲卫一下子像是解除了束缚,浮上水面,没有继续往下沉。 Nightwatcher on deck throws down the rope, drew him. 甲板上的打更人丢下绳索,把他拉了上来。 At this time , many Brave As Tigers Guard flushed from the bilge, wore armor and carried weapons, the facial expression tied tight. 这个时候,又有许多虎贲卫从舱底冲了上来,披坚执锐,神情紧绷。 „Was all right, but some people fall in the water.” Xu Qi'an turned head to comfort one, then, turned the head to carefully examine the man of falling in the water, saw his ankle area place, there is a azure purple hand imprint. “没事了,只是有人落水。”许七安扭头安抚了一句,接着,转头审视着落水的汉子,看见了他脚踝处,有一个青紫色的手印。 „What's the matter?” Silver Gong asked that he was Jiang Luzhong subordinate Silver Gong. “怎么回事？”一位银锣问道,他是姜律中麾下的银锣。 What this time leading is Golden Gong Jiang Luzhong, was appointed informed and experienced by Wei Yuan except for Xu Qi'an this, other Nightwatcher are under Jiang Luzhong. 本次带队的是金锣姜律中,除了许七安这个被魏渊指派历练的,其余打更人都是姜律中麾下。 As for Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, is Xu Qi'an draws is coming together, the subsidy that because travels on official business was too attractive. Moreover also has the opportunity of rendering meritorious service. 至于宋廷风和朱广孝,则是许七安拉着一起来的,因为出差的补贴太诱人了。而且又有立功的机会。 The man spat several water, quick restored, was only the complexion is somewhat pale, it is estimated that was frightened. 那汉子吐了几口水,很快就恢复了,只是脸色有些惨白,估计是被吓的。 „ humble subordinate drank the liquor, above ran up to a moment ago turns on the water... hears in the water some people to call me suddenly, lowered the head looks, was the deceased old mother. “卑职喝多了酒,刚才跑到上面来放水...突然听见水里有人叫我,低头一看,是已故的老母。 „ Does not know that what's the matter, remembers the tips that the old mother fosters me to grow up, sorrowful extremely, jumped. “不知道怎么回事,想起老母亲抚养我长大的点点滴滴,悲恸万分,就跳了下去。 „After falling in the water, humble subordinate sobered, even if the old mother changed to the ghost, how also to appear here.

This canal does not know that every year must die many people, yin qi accumulates over a long period of time, expedites Water Devil to be unavoidable. “是水魅,”一位经验丰富的船工,有些惊恐的说道:“人死后尸体化作的阴物,经常诱拐路人落水。这运河每年不知道要死多少人,阴气日积月累,催生出水魅在所难免。 „Sirs night do not come out, Water Devil never comes ashore, so long as in the deck, will not have the matter. When we have the ship, when night, food and drink rubbish in cabin. This is guild regulations.” “大人们夜里还是不要出来了,水魅从不上岸,只要不到甲板上,就不会有事儿。我们出船时,每到夜里,吃喝拉撒都在舱里。这是行规。” People turning head, looked to the jet black water surface, the big evening experienced this matter, infiltrated the person strangely. 众人不由的扭头,看向了漆黑的水面,大晚上遇到这种事儿,怪渗人的。 Had this interlude, the Brave As Tigers Guard armed soldier night then no longer came out to solve the metabolism problem, how Nightwatcher should be how. 有了这个插曲,虎贲卫的甲士夜里便不再出来解决新陈代谢问题,打更人该怎样还是怎样。 Said Xu Qi'an, night rushes to the deck each time intentionally flowing, but has not met Water Devil in legend. 就说许七安,每次夜里都故意跑到甲板上一泻千里,但没遇到传说中的水魅。 It is not Xu Qi'an is brave, wants to make Water Devil put the maternity leave, he wants to have a look at the water monkey child long/grows anything appearance. previous life listens to the story of water monkey to frighten in a big way. 并不是许七安胆子大,想让水魅放产假,他只是想看看水猴子长什么模样。前世就是听着水猴子的故事吓大的。 On this day, the imperial envoy team finally arrived in the Qing Province wharf. 这天,钦差队伍终于抵达了青州码头。 After Qing Province, must change the overland route, takes the overland route to have the carriage and horses, these thing imperial envoy teams do not have. 到青州之后,就要改走旱路,走旱路就得有马车、马匹,这些东西钦差队伍是没有的。 Needs to look for the Qing Province government authorities to help the dispatcher. 需要找青州官府帮忙调度。 Disembarks, side Grand Coordinator Zhang arriving Xu Qi'an with a laugh, said: „Qing Province Prefecture Magistrate is Yunlu Academy Great Confucian, Yang Gong Yang Ziqian.” 下了船,张巡抚笑呵呵的走到许七安身边,道:“青州知府是云鹿书院的大儒,杨恭杨子谦。” Xu Qi'an has not responded for a while, Grand Coordinator Zhang added: „Retired Scholar Ziyang.” 许七安一时没有反应过来,张巡抚补充道:“号紫阳居士。”
