Chapter 359 Everyone has their own thoughts



Chapter 359 Everyone has their own thoughts

"So Brother Han was traveling here..."

Although Duan Yu was held hostage by Jiumozhi, he was not discouraged. He still looked like a curious baby and kept chatting with Zhao Dongchuan.

Zhao Dongchuan also told some of what he had seen and heard. After a conversation, the two became more familiar with each other.

Cui Baiquan and Guo Yanzhi exchanged glances when they saw this.

"Today we have entered a dangerous place, and we don't know whether we will live or die. Murong's attack was ruthless, but this girl is gentle and kind... I don't know if it is Murong's strategy to make the enemy proud... And that young man..."

"It's not easy for us to move in the boat right now... We need to find a chance to test his abilities after we get ashore..."

Cui Baiquan thought secretly in his heart.

The small boat drifted in the lake, and after a few turns, it soon turned into a large lake.

Looking into the distance, you can see vast mist and waves. The lake and the sky are the same color, and the scenery is different from that on land.

"My dear girl, we are grown men, how can we let a weak woman like you row the oars for us... Let me help you..."

Cui Baiquan rolled his eyes and came to A-Bi and said.

"Oh, I don't deserve this. You are all honored guests. How can I neglect you..."

Abi smiled.

"Well... to be honest, I want to listen to the girl playing music..."

Duan Yu came over very happily when he heard it: "Excellent, wonderful, Miss A-Bi's skill of playing the piano with a whip is really unique..."

Cui Baiquan took the whip from Guo Yanzhi and handed it to A-Bi.

"Girl, please don't refuse...Everyone is looking forward to it, please don't spoil everyone's interest..."

Seeing this, Miss Abi knew she couldn't refuse, so she smiled and nodded: "Okay, then, lend me your golden abacus!"

Cui Baiquan hesitated for a moment and then handed the golden abacus to A-Bi.

Then A-Bi placed the abacus on the deck, straightened the whip with her left hand and foot, and began to play.

His five fingers quickly plucked the whip like a guitar string, and occasionally plucked the golden abacus.

The sound of the whip is very crisp, accompanied by the clanging metallic sound of the beads, adding a bit of charm.

At this time, a group of swallows flew over the bow and rushed westward.

The scene is as poetic as a landscape painting.

Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy when looking at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt that the world was getting wider.

"On the auspicious day of the second festival, in the courtyards of thousands of families, two flying swallows are seen again. The Phoenix Nest is stable and we are neighbors. How late is the smoke from Xiaoxiang coming? It rushes into the red building, flies low over the green bank, and the painted beams gently brush the singing dust. For whom do you go and for whom do you come? The master is so kind that the pearl curtain rolls up."

A-Bi was playing with the whip, fiddling with the abacus, and chanting something.

It is heart-wrenching.

…………

The boat passed through a clump of reeds and wild rice stems and now reached the center of the lake, surrounded by endless lake water.

A-Bi kept steering the boat back and forth, and could no longer remember the direction it came from.

Jiumozhi was also a little uneasy at this time. He began to be secretly on guard and wanted to memorize the route in his mind.

But at a glance, the lake was filled with lotus leaves, duckweed, reeds, and wild rice stems, all of which looked exactly the same... They changed in so many ways as they fluttered in the wind that it was impossible to tell their direction.

Jiumozhi, Cui Baiquan, Guo Yanzhi and others kept looking at A-Bi to see how she was finding the way, but they found nothing.

Zhao Dongchuan was already sitting in the boat at this time. He opened the wine gourd on his waist and started drinking happily.

After a while, he took out a large chicken leg wrapped in oil paper from his arms and started to chew it. The fragrance spread over the boat, making people salivate.

Jiumozhi's expression was indifferent and nothing could be seen, but Duan Yu swallowed his saliva and looked at him with some greed.

Although Cui Baiquan and Guo Yanzhi turned their heads away, it could be seen from their moving Adam's apples that they were drooling a little.

"Brother Han, your chicken drumstick smells so good, is it delicious..."

Duan Yu came over with a grin.

"It's delicious, so fragrant..."

Zhao Dongchuan waved the chicken leg in front of Duan Yu and then quickly took it back, making Duan Yu extremely greedy.

Duan Yu was held hostage by Jiumozhi along the way and had not had a proper meal. He just ate some dry food at random. He was already hungry at this time and looked at Zhao Dongchuan with a pitiful face.

"Hahahaha... I'm really scared of you..."

Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. He took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and handed it to Duan Yu.

"Hey, Brother Duan... go on!"

"Hehe, Brother Han, you are so generous... I would like to thank you..."

Duan Yu thanked him, took the oil paper package and opened it, revealing a chicken leg inside!

The two of them started eating as if no one was around.

Cui Baiquan was older and more shrewd after all, and he kept acting reserved. Guo Yanzhi really couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food and kept looking back at them.

After rowing for a while, a corner of the eaves appeared among the green willows in the distance.

"We're here! Thank you, Mr. Huo, for helping me row the boat for so long..."

A-Bi laughed, stood up, took the wooden oar from Cui Baiquan, and floated the boat towards the willow shade.

Soon they arrived at a wooden ladder made of pine branches.

Ah Bi tied up the boat, sang a few times with the bird on the willow branch, turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, please follow me to the shore!"

Seeing this, everyone stepped ashore.

There were only four or five houses scattered on the shore.

The house is small and exquisite, quite elegant, with the words "Qin Yun" written on the plaque, which looks quite chic.

Jiumozhi's mind moved, and he asked, "Is this the Yanziwu Canhe Manor in Murong's residence?"

"No, this is the courtyard that the young master built for me... A small place would be too inconsiderate for a distinguished guest... I can't make the decision on this master's request to pay respect to Master Murong..."

"Please wait here for a moment... Let me go and report something... Ask Sister Ah Zhu..."

Jiumozhi's face darkened, and he was unhappy. He was the Dharma King who protected the country of Tubo, and his status was so honorable, but he was brought to such a small courtyard to wait for someone to pass on the message...

However, seeing A-Bi's innocent look, he didn't say much and just thought she was rude.

Cui Baiquan wanted to ask some questions, so he took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Miss A-Bi. While they were chatting and laughing, they soon went into the house.

A Bi asked everyone to take a seat and ordered the servants to serve tea and cakes.

Duan Yu's mouth was greasy after eating a chicken leg, and when he saw the tea, he quickly drank it without even looking at it. When it went down his throat, he could feel the fragrance in his mouth and his tongue was watering.

“This is Biluochun!”

Zhao Dongchuan was not that impatient. He just opened the tea lid, looked at the color of the tea, and smelled the tea fragrance.

The dark green tea leaves float in the tea water like small beads.

Those pastries are also very exquisite and come in various shapes.

Duan Yu was just like a bumpkin who had never seen the world. He praised everything he saw and ate happily without any scheming.

Jiumozhi, Cui Baiquan and others were all cautious and did not move at all.

Zhao Dongchuan knew that Duan Yu had a physique that was immune to all poisons, so he didn't interfere.

As for himself, he just picked up the teacup and pretended to drink it, but he didn't actually drink it... He didn't have a physique that was immune to all poisons. If the other party really poisoned him, he would have no place to cry.

Besides, I’m not hungry after eating chicken legs and drinking some wine on the way.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan picked up the wine gourd and took a sip...
