Qin Xiaozheng was worried about how to find the whereabouts of Han Yunong and Han Yunong. He had no intention of taking a boat. He shook his head and turned to leave, but saw a look of disappointment on the boat girl.

The boat girl is nearly thirty years old, but her appearance is not bad. There is a small bright red mole at the corner of her mouth. She is already beautiful, but the small mole adds a touch of charm to her.

When Qin Xiao entered the city, Du Hongsheng introduced some of the city of Kyoto.

Kyoto City has three water systems, and the imperial court started construction of many channels to connect the three water systems, forming very convenient water transportation.

The three water systems are like three giant dragons coiling around the city of Kyoto. There are rivers in the city, squares in the rivers, connected by rivers and canals, and roads for transportation.

After people from the south came to Beijing, they didn't like to ride horses, and they couldn't enjoy the scenery by car, and many roads in the city were congested, so visiting Kyoto by boat became a more elegant thing.

For those so-called elegant people, letting a rich and powerful boatman punt a boat to enjoy the scenery is far inferior to a woman punting the boat. In the earliest days, it was indeed the boatman who punted the boat, but the business was bleak.

Boat viewing became more and more popular, so there were fewer and fewer boatmen in Kyoto, but more and more boat girls. In order to cater to the habits of southerners, many boat girls wore southern women's clothes and tried their best to

Keep it clean, so that you can increase your business.

It's just that boating is also a laborious job, and ordinary weak women can't eat this bowl of rice. The most important thing is that ordinary people will not let their female relatives come out to show their faces, especially those who have not yet left the palace, and it is even less likely that they will come out to do such a thing.

matter.

Therefore, almost all the boat girls who paddle boats on the river have poor families and rely on themselves to paddle the boats to support their families, and they are often married young women.

Qin Xiao was originally not in the mood to enjoy the scenery by boat, but when he saw the disappointed look on the boat girl's face and pushed the boat to leave, he couldn't help but said: "I'll ride out. You can only seat people on the boat and can't accommodate a horse. Put the horse

Leave it here and it will be stolen later."

"It's okay." The boat girl's voice was gentle. Seeing that Qin Xiao was just worried about her horse, she immediately smiled: "Tie the horse by the tree. After the tour, I will take you back here. This has always been the case with guests in the past.

Yes, no one has ever lost a horse. If someone really dares to steal a horse, I will help you find it." Lest Qin Xiao didn't believe it, he added: "My brother is from the government."

Qin Xiao was doubtful, thinking that if your brother was really from the government, how could he let you, a woman from a Taoist family, come out and show his face.

However, he was in a depressed mood, and hoped to take this opportunity to ask the boat girl about Kyoto. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded, tied the horse, and suddenly thought of the boat fare, and asked: "How much does it cost to ride on your boat?"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive." The boat girl got the business and her smile became even brighter: "It's only two hundred thousand an hour. If you charter a boat, it's only forty cents an afternoon. It's very cheap."

Qin Xiao thought that the boat fare was indeed not expensive, but the boat girl had already quickly set up the planks of the boat. Qin Xiao got on the boat. There was a small horse stool in the middle. When he got closer, he found that the boat girl was not bad in appearance. Maybe she was

Because she has been on boats all year round, her complexion has a hint of wheat color, and she looks very healthy. She has a slender waist, a small waist and raised hips, and a narrow shirt that restrains her upper body, which also makes her breasts look quite plump.

Qin Xiao sat down on the horse stool. The boat girl put away the planks of the boat and put the pole into the water. The water rippled and the boat had left the shore.

"Where are we going?" Qin Xiao asked.

The boat girl said: "If the guests have nowhere to go, we can go east along the Luoshui River, pass by Taipingfang, and go to Changchun

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There is a Taoist temple in Shengfang and Qingyifang. It is a famous scenic spot in Kyoto. You can enjoy it by boat. If guests want to enter the Taoist temple to burn incense, I can wait. There are various snack shops in Changshengfang, and Qingyifang has beautiful scenery.

They are all good places. If we take this waterway, we can get back here before dark and won’t delay our guests’ return.”

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Then let's go this way. By the way, I didn't ask my sister to call me."

"Sister?" The boat girl glanced at Qin Xiao, smiled sweetly, but was full of charm, and said: "Others call me Qiuniang, and the guests can also call me Qiuniang. Where is the guest from? From your accent, it doesn't sound like the south.

people."

"I'm from the northwest." Qin Xiao said, "It's my first time in the capital."

The boat girls are very flexible and can push the pole into the water without much exertion. The boat goes down the water very quickly. There are many pleasure boats on the water. The skills of these boat girls are very good. They pass by each other without affecting each other.

"It looks like it's my first time in Beijing." The boat girl smiled sweetly: "People who often come to Beijing don't know how to travel by boat. They have other places to go."

"Is business not doing well?"

"It was okay in the first few years. Now there are more cruise ships than before and fewer guests than before. There is no work for half a day." Qiuniang said: "It takes half a day to find guests every day, but I am very skilled and can work every day."

We can find customers.”

"If you can earn thirty or forty cents a day, you can earn one tael of silver in a month." Qin Xiao said, "You can barely make ends meet."

The exchange rate in the Tang Dynasty was that one tael of silver could be exchanged for one copper coin, and one copper coin was equal to one thousand copper coins.

Qiuniang shook her head and said, "No, many people don't have business every day, and they punt boats on the river. There are also ruffians who collect money. If you don't give it, they will cause trouble."

"You still want to pay?" Qin Xiao was startled, thinking, under the emperor's feet, would anyone dare to collect protection fees openly?

Qiuniang said, "They asked for it from me, but I wouldn't give it to them. I was forced to fight them desperately." Her tone was rather tough.

Qin Xiao laughed, sat on the horse stool, and watched Qiuniang's graceful figure showing off her curves when she was rowing the boat. Especially every time she bent over, her waist was even more slender. The lines curved downward, but she looked

Her buttocks are plump and round, and they are wrapped in gray cloth trousers, which are about to burst.

He was embarrassed to stare there and looked on both sides. It was indeed as Qiuniang said, there were many cruise ships on the river, but not many customers.

"By the way, Sister Qiuniang, have you ever received guests from the northwest before?" Qin Xiao asked, "Have you seen the guests from Xiling?"

"Yes, but very few." Qiuniang said: "Some guests don't talk much when they get on the boat, and some talk a lot, but... But they don't talk very cleanly, so I don't pay attention. There was another one a few days ago.

The guest from the northwest, I don’t know which part of the northwest he is from. As soon as he got on the boat, he started talking nonsense, saying that he was from a wealthy family and had many connections in the capital. He also said that as long as I...!" At this point, he spat.

He said in one breath: "Anyway, the more he spoke, the more rude he became, so he was driven away by me. I thought all the people in the northwest were like that. Today I saw my guest acting so polite. It seems that there are many good people in the northwest."

Qin Xiao laughed and said, "Do you think I'm very polite?"

Qiuniang looked back, smiled sweetly and said, "The guest is handsome and gentle, and he is a good person at first glance."

While talking, they had reached a fork in the road. Qiuniang said: "We are going to the fork in the road. Over there is Taipingfang. I will take you to Ziyang Temple." Just as she was about to row the boat into the fork in the road, she saw a cruise ship on the opposite side.

Extremely

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Come over here as quickly as possible.

Qiuniang stopped the boat with a pole. At this moment, she heard a loud whistle from the boat opposite. Before Qiuniang could think about it, Qin Xiao heard a loud whistle from behind.

He turned around and suddenly discovered that not far behind Qiuniang's boat, a small boat was coming towards this direction at an extremely fast speed.

Qin Xiao immediately realized that something was wrong. He stood up and stared at the oncoming ship. He could already see clearly that although the man on the ship was wearing a bamboo hat, he was burly and clearly a man.

He looked back and took another look. The boat coming from behind was also punted by a boatman. He was very muscular and strong.

The two boatmen were very good at boating, so they came over one behind the other.

At this time, Qin Xiao had of course seen that the two small boats were heading towards Qiuniang, and frowned, thinking that he had been going against the currents in the past few days, and everything was not going well, and he also encountered such bad things while enjoying the scenery by boat.

Qiuniang didn't react at first, but when she saw the boat behind her, she immediately woke up and tightened her grip on the pole. Her face turned pale slightly and she was a little panicked. Seeing the two boats getting closer and closer, Qiuniang suddenly bent down and opened the boat.

There was a rag at his feet, and he took out a kitchen knife from underneath.

Qin Xiao was startled and immediately understood that it seemed that Qiuniang had been wary of anyone causing trouble for her, so she even prepared a kitchen knife on the boat.

The empire implements the Sword Hunting Order, and civilians are not allowed to hide weapons privately, but kitchen knives are not included in the Sword Hunting Order.

"boom!"

The hull of the boat shook violently. The boat behind it was so fast that it hit the stern of Qiuniang's boat from behind. The boat was not big, but with such a violent impact, the hull of the boat swayed, and Qin Xiao's body also swayed.

I was unsteady and almost fell down.

Qiuniang has superb boating skills and has been on the water for a long time. Although the hull of the boat shook violently and her body swayed a little, she quickly stood up. She held the pole in one hand and the kitchen knife in the other, and cursed at the back:

"A dog with no eyes, are you looking for death?" She was beautiful in appearance, but when she scolded people, she was very aggressive, and her beautiful face was full of anger.

The boatman behind laughed loudly, pushed the pole harder, and the boat retreated, then hit the stern again.

Qin Xiao was prepared, spread his legs to the left and right, and stabilized his body, but his face looked a little ugly.

Qiuniang is just a boat girl who makes a living on the water. Her status can be said to be extremely low. She earns some hard money to support her family. However, she somehow offended these two men and came to cause trouble in broad daylight.

The oncoming ship did not hit her directly, but came closer, holding the pole in her hand, and poked Qiuniang's plump breasts. She smiled strangely and said: "Look at how big it is, can you poke it with a pole?"

Already."

Qiuniang immediately dodged and slashed at the support pole with the kitchen knife in her hand. The person opposite was flexible and lifted the support pole away. When Qiuniang slashed the air with her knife, the support pole had already come over quickly and stabbed it hard.

On Qiuniang's shoulder, the ship behind her hit her again. The force was exerted on her front and back. Qiuniang let out an "ouch", her feet were unstable and she fell backward. When Qin Xiao saw this, he pushed his body forward and held it up with one hand.

He held Qiuniang's waist and held her shoulder with the other hand to steady her body.
