In this era, it takes at least more than a month to travel by land from Suhang to Xiaoxiang, and there are still difficult roads along the way, and there are even more bandits.

It is obviously more convenient and quick to walk on the water.

Of course, although there were also water bandits on the Yangtze River, they caused trouble.

However, because of the prosperous waterways and the heavy commercial taxation area, the Southern Dynasty, with a chaotic administrative system, also had several naval inspectors stationed on the Yangtze River.

And patrol every day.

Although in Shen Qiu's opinion, those bandits and imperial navy who were in chaos in the Yangtze River were completely a disaster, as long as you pay some "buy roads" along the way and take a little more control, it would be much easier to walk the waterway.

Chen Qiu is not full of righteousness, and he will shout and kill when he sees bandits.

He can understand and accept the fact that he spends money to buy peace. He can take a step back and he doesn't have to pay for the money he makes along the way.

When he received more than a dozen boxes of brocade ate goods, the shopkeeper of the brocade shop had already handed him the extra expenses. The shopkeeper only asked for the goods to be delivered to Changsha safely. The conditions he offered were so generous that Chen Qiu couldn't help but talk.

He suspected that there was something wrong with this matter, but he had also seen the goods, which were exquisitely crafted brocade, and the shopkeeper was also a friend of Uncle Liu for many years. He had been opening a shop on the back street for decades, so he could be trusted.

He thought about it and there was no problem, so he could only put the slight uneasiness back into his heart.

However, after reconciling with Qingqing Girl, Chen Qiu felt extremely relaxed, and he had never been so relaxed even when he came to this world.

The secret in my heart is the fermented poison. The longer it hides, the greater the toxicity.

Secrets always come at a price, but if shared, the pressure will be reduced a lot.

Today is the ninth day of the ward. Chen Qiu and his group set out from Yueyang the day before yesterday and were walking on the land of Hunan, heading towards Changsha.

There were more than a dozen large boxes on several carriages, which were properly kept brocade goods, and were transported by mules and horses. Chen Qiu and Qingqing were protected in front of the convoy, and Xiao Tie and a few Mo family members were guarding around and behind the convoy.

Each car is equipped with a small flag from the Lujia Escort Agency, triangular and looks a bit funny, but this is necessary.

The thing about escorting is different from going around the world.

Darts are for making money.

Since it is making money, you must avoid fearless fighting and casualties. Bandits who understand the rules of the world will not take the initiative to ambush when they see the flags on the vehicle, but will pull out the road to negotiate with the corpses.

But the ignorant thief naturally doesn't pay attention to this.

"Senior brother, there are people in the forest."

Qingqing pulled the reins of the horse and whispered to Chen Qiu, who was riding a horse with his eyes closed beside him:

"I'm afraid I'm not malicious."

"Well, don't pay attention to them."

Chen Qiu didn't open his eyes and said casually:

"Third or four refugees, they dare not take action."

"How do you know?"

The Qingqing girl said in surprise:

"Can you have a good ear?"

"Bang"

Chen Qiu curled up his fingers and slapped Qingqing's girl's forehead. He said:

"The internal strength I teach you will allow the true qi to flow quickly, and you will be able to see the eyes and have a sharp sense of five senses. Listen with your heart and you will be able to hear it.

If you practice this top-level technique to the depths, you will be the best in the world.”

"oh."

Qingqing responded, and the senior brother said nothing, it was okay.

She rode on the horse, grabbed the reins with her left hand, moved her fingers with her right hand, and a small flying knife turned around between her fingers, just like the trick Chen Qiu performed for her during the Taihang Mountains.

But this girl just couldn't be quiet.

Not long after, she looked back at the convoy behind her and said to Chen Qiu in a mysterious way:

"I saw Xiao Tie practicing martial arts last night. He was holding a mature iron stick, dancing like a set of powerful stick techniques."

"You stupid girl."

Chen Qiu chuckled and said:

"Xiao Tie uses not stick technique, but sword technique."

"ah?"

Qingqing widened her eyes and said:

"How could anyone use a stick as a sword envoy?

And I have never seen people dancing with swords. They are all very cool and beautiful, and they are taking light paths, just like Brother Shangui."

"Xiao Tie's sword technique is not the Central Plains martial arts."

Chen Qiu explained:

"I told him that although he was limited to the rules of the master and could not tell me too much, his sword skills were different from the sword skills you knew.

But it is indeed a swordsmanship, just taking a strong path.

Before leaving, I was looking for a handy weapon on the piano platform. The sword he needed was not ready for a while, so I could only make do with a cooked iron stick. Fortunately, Xiao Tie was born with divine power, so it would be okay to use a stick."

Qingqing was amazed.

She was interested in any secret affairs in the world and had also heard operas that some knights made Qimen weapons, but this was the first time she had seen them with her own eyes.

"Senior brother, that Xiao Tie must be very skilled in martial arts?"

The junior sister asked again: "I've seen him practice internal skills."

"As martial arts, I'm just a first look at the tricks. Just talking about moves, I'm almost the same as my senior brother."

Chen Qiu said:

"But Xiao Tie has little experience in fighting, and his mood is gentle and he can't stand his heart. If he really wants to fight, he is not my opponent. But he must be more than enough to deal with the thief along the way."

Chen Qiu was not saying this casually.

After the iron-cut boy removed the toxins and his true energy was reborn, Jian Yu resonated with him and put the iron-cut boy's phantom into his dream. When he fell into his dream, Chen Qiu really fought with the young man.

The heavy sword style is amazing, and the inner skills and mental methods that the young man practices are quite magical. He is indeed too little fighting experience and is easily defeated by Chen Qiu.

After this temporary phantom was defeated, Chen Qiu also got the memory of the young man who practiced martial arts.

But the scattered ones are just heavy swords. The phantoms obtained by touching are not as comprehensive as those after killing them.

Fortunately, the martial arts memory you can get is different every time you break it, just like a fragment.

In theory, after multiple defeats, these fragments can also be pieced together into complete martial arts.

Chen Qiu was lucky. After breaking the iron-cutting boy's internal skills, "Iron Heart Decision", he was barely restored by Chen Qiu after several defeats and collecting them.

That set of internal skills is also quite magical, but Chen Qiu is now practicing the fish intestine skills with all his might.

Before the primary internal strength of the Five Elements Sect was achieved, he did not have the energy to practice another internal mental method, and the circulation of true qi of these two sets of mental methods is completely different.

If something goes wrong with practicing at the same time, it will be a fatal problem.

"By the way, girl."

Chen Qiu asked in a low voice with his hands wearing black gloves and holding the reins:

"You and Xiao Tie are trapped in the magic cult dungeon. Have he never told you about his life experience?"

"Didn't say much."

Qingqing shook her head and said:

"Xiao Tie is a dull and you know it too. I just heard from him that he was going to look for relatives in Qilu, Central Plains. He said that he was picked up by his master from there when he was a child."

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in this Qilu land. Isn't he looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Chen Qiu shook his head and said:

"Xiao Tie thought about this very simply. This is not my hometown, you can find the correct person by simply typing a few characters."

"Then let me talk about it, senior brother."

Qingqing rode on the horse, and while playing with the flying knife, she asked enthusiastically:

"Where are there any such means in Yanjing?"

"Not Yanjing, uh... forget it, these things are meaningless. Let me tell you the story of the Hulk who is extremely powerful."

Chen Qiu was circulating his true energy at this time, so he told Qingqing those bizarre stories again, and the girl was amazed at the ears.

"Was that giant, wasn't it because he was infected with a strange poison and learned another magical skill, which could increase his strength! Senior brother, do you think, are there any magical martial arts in the world?"

The two of them were talking and laughing. Walking on this road, it was noon in a blink of an eye that the convoy parked at a roadside tea shop. Looking from a distance on the fork road, you could barely see a village.

The place of Xiaoxiang is not as prosperous as Suzhou, but its geographical location is very important. Together with all directions, it is an important trade route, so it is not considered a decline in people's livelihood.

Chen Qiu and others walked along the way, and there were many villages and towns on both sides of the road, which was considered a safe and sound life.
