Book 15 Chapter 4 – Bearded Visitor Frohts illuminated the entire river bend and both banks of the river around the huge shi+p as it sailed speedily toward the Tianjin Bridge

The sails have been lowered, the shi+p was relying entirely on the eighteen oars on each side, pushi+ng the water tothe side of the shi+p at one step intervals, so close together so that the lanterns practically outlining the contours of the whole shi+p, creating a surreptitious, indescribable ie; the top level had the helm and the observation platfor at rando and the others, three men, only saw one person

Because this man was like a crane in a flock of chicken, all at once he attracted their attention so that they had no tientle barbarian attire, with long bushy beard on his face, tall and majestic; compared to the people around him, he was at least half a head taller, he was perhaps of the sah he was standing with his hands behind his back, he was able to h peak, outstanding, out of the ordinary, spirit, a heroic, overbearingly i style

His face, surrounded by the bushy beard, was actually clear, ah, his nose was big, grand and powerful His eyes were surprisingly thin, but the pupils inside theent radiance, as he was sizing up Xu and the others, three ht stood two beautiful women, but in the eyes of the three on-beardedthe huge boat that was still twenty zhang away but fast approaching the shouted, “Who’s there? If you co, a an unnamed nobody”

The last sentence was, naturally, the bold, visionary words that Ba Fenghan spoke toward Hou Xibai, and indeed it showed aggressiveness

Ba Fenghan s his breathing to treat his injury

shi+ Feixuan’s sword qi was a rare, innate qi If not for his foundation ca Life’, plus his one transformation by the Jade Annulus of He Clan’s special power, perhaps he could not fully recover for the rest of his life

At that time he felt that at the lastit were not so, perhaps he would have to suffer for several days

Since the engageh shi+ Feixuan appeared to send swift and severe offensive, the fact was that the attacks ell-measured, purely to test him out, without any intention to har-the-food-of-common- Ming, Shang Xiuxun, woh position and status, she had different noble air,her extre from his deep conte inwardly

He had never given any woon-bearded ! Xiaodi Fu Qian; coentle my respect!”

He spoke perfect Chinese with very articulate pronunciation and vocalization, paying particular attention to the tone of each word, so that he could be considered half a notch above Ba Fenghan, who had left home to make his way in the world for on-beard trade his response, they were not surprised at all The only thing they did not expect was that he would look this for, his heroic aura covered the sky

The huge shi+p’s speed was decreasing, otherwise the e, would shake and break the bridge, and even the lid of the top level of the bridge would not survive

His deep, han sreat na the ear, ol’ Ba ad I auidance!”

“Hai!”

Thunderous shout boomed from the belly of the shi+p At precisely the same time, thirty-six men cried out as if it came from one person’s mouth

Thirty-six oars reversed direction at the saiant shi+pabout three zhang distance between the bow and the bridgehead Fu Qian and the other dozen or so people happened to stand at the saehead, so that as they spoke, neither side was put in an aard position of one was higher or lower than the other

On the surrounding area, the lanterns were die the Luo River was ablaze with light, even the moon and the stars in the sky were eclipsed

Due to the er waves slapped the e noise

Other than that, everything else was so quiet and harenious way that the huge shi+p stayed un in the middle of the river

Fu Qian cal need not be hesitant to ask, Xiaodi won’t hide anything I knoon’t stop before I have said it through”

Ba Fenghan’s eyes flashed with cold rays; he spoke coldly, “Fu Xiong hid the shi+p nearby, and suddenly appeared Your ti is accurate, I wonder what do you intend to do?”

These words bore no trace of politeness, but Ba Fenghan could not be bla Bo were intimately related, it would be easy to make an associative connection that Fu Qian ca around Fu Qian revealed a displeased expression on their faces The two Tuyuhun women by Fu Qian’s sides even showed disdain, as if they were bla to appreciate their kindness

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were accustohan’s no nonsense attitude toward anybody; they did not feel it strange at all

Surprisingly, Fu Qian did not take offense as well; laughing aloud, he said, “There are three reasons: one, Xiaodi loves to join in the fun This time I came to the Central Plains, this is the main reason”

The three did not expect hi He said clearly that while the Central Plains was in chaos, he ca in troubled water

Kou Zhong scanned the entourage standing by his side, the oldest looked no ing taiyang acupoints [on the tehtly; obviously Fu Qian’s thMofei, who spoke in public at the Man Qing Yuan the other night, was one of the the fun so to have propitious wind throughout your journey!”

Fro Yuzhi, he knew that Fu Qian had ‘special interest’ toward the Yuzhi’s shrewdness, if she said so, shethat she shot without ai behind Fu Qian was about to open his mouth in retort, but this naled hihed and said, “Xiaodi ca I haven’t had the enjoy in the waters; ’s concern As for the second reason, Xiaodi wants to destroy Tiele people’s conspiracy; I don’t want Qu Ao, Tuli’s crafty scheentlemen have time to spare to have your honorable selves onto my huhan threw his head back and laughed aloud; he said, “Fu Xiong’s two good intentions, we appreciate very ht noe only want to find a place to stay for the night and have a good sleep Please!”

A thin s, he said, “Three gentlemen are indeed exceptional heroes, ol’ Fu ade shi+p went in reverse

And then the lanterns went off, as the shi+p disappeared in the dark river bend

The sound of turning wheels against the flagstone, mixed with the hoof beats of thestretched his li had already woke up; he was standing against the railing of a bell and dru into the distance at the Tianjian Bridge spanning across the River It was not clear whether he was thinking about his encountered with shi+ Feixuan the previous night

Ba Fenghan was sitting cross-legged inaround his

Kou Zhong sprang up and walked over to Xu Ziling’s side

Outside the tower, the drizzle continued; it was as if the entire Luo River had fallen into a vast expanse oftook a deep breath of the earlyfar into the distance, across the hed and said, “It’s really nice! We are still alive, and had just had a great night’s sleep”

Xu Ziling noticed that Kou Zhong’s left hand was fiddling with the pendant on his chest, at the end of the chair hanging from his neck He asked in surprise, “Why this sudden interest of the pendant?”

Kou Zhong replied in delight, “I forgot to tell you, Iwas stunned, “You ot this pendant when they were at Zhai Rang’s Big Boss Mansion Chuchu ith Zhai Jiao to take refuge Just before they left, she had Susu hand the pendant to Kou Zhong [See Book 4 Chapter 12]
