Chapter 518: No peace under Taiping

Jiuqu River, the river flows nine turns, hence the name Jiuqu.

A large group of Mr. Xu hired three big boats and went down the river.

The Jiuqu River, which has a slightly rapid current, is not frozen because of

the cold, but is still rolling eastward.

This time to the south of the Yangtze River, all the people from the old Xu

family were all on this passenger ship for the first time. Fortunately, no

seasick people appeared. Everyone is very comfortable with life on this ship.

Even the active big treasures and second treasures are very good.

Occasionally going to the deck to let the wind ventilate, both of them

obediently took their father's hand. The turbulent Jiuqu River was far more

dangerous than the gentle flow of the Taohua River.

Fubao is also very honest.

Although she is very lucky and is God's daughter, but the problem is that God

might also doze off.

The river is surging and the current is swift, and if you accidentally fall

into the water, you can basically say goodbye to the world.

Perhaps, there will be such a record in the history books: Xu Yuanjin, the

daughter of Xu Huaiyi of Marquis Wucheng, was awarded the title of county lord

of Defu, Yongping for fourteen years, fell into the water by boat, died, and

was one year old.

"Father, father, look over there!"

On the boat trip on the river, Fu Bao was watching the scenery on the deck

with his father Xu, when he suddenly pointed his finger at the river.

Elder Xu looked in the direction of Fubao's fingers and saw a group of people

on the riverside, carrying cloth bags one by one, throwing them into the

turbulent Jiuqu River.

"Father, what are they doing?"

"What's in the bag?"

Although Fubao's eyes are sharp, it does not have the function of perspective.

"I do not know!"

Mr. Xu hugged Fu Bao and said, "Go back to your room, the wind will start to

blow in a while, don't catch a cold!"

"Oh, oh!"

Fu Bao still stared at the people on the shore, and then found that the people

on the shore had also seen them and were shouting at them.

It's a pity that Fubao didn't hear what these people were shouting at some

distance away.

Father Xu returned to the cabin with Fu Bao and handed Fu Bao to his wife,

Mrs. Xu.

Then, Mr. Xu went and called his three sons to one place.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Xu Lao Er was telling Er Bao about his great achievements when he was a child.

This was suddenly called by his father, and he was a little unhappy.

"Just now, I was outside with Fubao and saw someone killing someone on the

shore."

"Those people also saw me and Fubao."

"Wait later, let's ship to the dock in front, I'm afraid it will be a little

troublesome. I will tell you all, and if your eyes are wide open, kill it!

Fubao didn't know what was in those cloth bags, but Mr. Xu knew.

There are people in the bag, a living person.

Unfortunately, although he saw it, he was unable to save people.

In this cold day, people were put in cloth bags and thrown into the water.

Unless they were rescued immediately, there was basically no way to survive.

The boat of Mr. Xu and his party did not have the ability to turn around in

that instant, so he could only watch a few lives buried in the Jiuqu River.

"Father, don't worry, this matter is left to me!"

When something happened, the unhappiness in Xu Lao Er's heart instantly

disappeared.

Instead of telling his son about his great achievements when he was a child,

it would be better to let his son see with his own eyes how his father was so

powerful. After all, seeing is believing, hearing is not.

The three passenger ships quickly arrived at the pier ahead and docked on the

pier.

"Father, shall we disembark?"

Knowing that something would happen here, Boss Xu thought it would be better

to stay on the boat, so you only need to face the enemy in one direction.

"Disembark!"

Mr. Xu smiled slightly and explained, "This boat seems to be safe, but if

someone goes to the bottom of the boat, it won't be good!"

The weather is cold, and the water is colder.

But never underestimate the capable people in this world.

So the group got off the boat and went straight to an inn on the dock town.

In this season and weather, there are still relatively few business customers.

Mr. Xu and his party easily took over the entire inn.

Naturally, Mr. Xu told everyone what he and Fu Bao had seen on the river, so

that everyone was a little more alert.

...

Night fell quickly.

This small town called Guoqiao quickly calmed down, and every family settled

behind closed doors. Only the barking of dogs occasionally sounded in the

town.

"Father, will anyone really come?"

Mr. Xu held a bow and sat with Mr. Xu on the roof of the inn to blow the air.

On this cold spring night, the cold wind was really whistling, and the cold

air pierced into the bones.

"Isn't that here?"

Mr. Xu raised his hand and pointed to the northwest.

Xu Laosan looked up and saw a fire dragon rushing towards Guoqiao Town at a

super fast speed in the northwest direction.

"Father, how dare these people be so arrogant?"

Xu Lao San was a little stunned. This is not the chaotic place of Longxi

Mansion facing Beiman, this is Jiangzhou Mansion, the hinterland of Datang,

and the laws of the court are strict.

"It's not peaceful under Taiping!"

Old man Xu sighed faintly.

Is it about the end of the 100th anniversary of Datang?

Although Father Xu was very dissatisfied with the royal family, he actually

didn't want the world to be in chaos. After all, once the world is in turmoil,

the world will be caught in wars and disputes. By then, ordinary people will

suffer.

But the scene that he saw before his eyes made Father Xu feel that Datang

seemed to be hard to return.

After a while, the fire dragon arrived at Guoqiao Town.

Then, I heard bursts of gongs ringing.

"Father, it's the town army from Kun County, Jiangzhou Prefecture!"

Xu Lao San heard the yelling from the town and couldn't help staring at his

father.

The town army was the military guard of the imperial court to suppress the

place.

Generally, the number of town troops in the county is three to five hundred.

No matter how much it is, some can't afford it.

But at this moment, the number of Kunxian Town Army who appeared in Guoqiao

Town is definitely over one thousand.

If it is a place like Longxi Mansion that is often harassed and looted by

Northern Barbarians, and there are more than a thousand soldiers in a county,

it can be considered the past. But in the land of Jiangzhou Mansion, in the

land of a county, there are actually more than a thousand townsmen, this is

not quite right!

"fake!"

Mr. Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the so-called Kunxian Town Army who was

screaming and shouting in the town, and he calmly replied to Mr. Xu.

"Fake? How could it be possible?"

Oldest Xu stared at his father.

Father Xu smiled and said, "I said it was fake, then it was fake!"

"Don't forget, your father, I am the Marquis of Wu Cheng, who was granted by

the court!"

After a while, the Kunxian town army surrounded the inn where Father Xu and

his party were staying.

"Surrender and don't kill!"

It was Qu Zhen who led the team to inspect the Kun County, and he was indeed

the town army of Kun County. As for why there are so many town troops in

Kunxian County, it is because behind the Kunxian town troops are the Kunxian

Qu clan standing behind them.
