The boatman's skill in holding the penny looked very superb, and the pole in his hand was sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, and the turquoise river pool retreated one after another. Suddenly, he plunged a large section of the pole in his hand into the water, and pushed it to the side, and the boat turned sharply, bypassing the broken wall in front of him, and entering a large "bay mouth". Brother Shi, who was looking forward to it in his heart, suddenly brightened his vision!

Although the weather was gloomy, through the mist of water, Brother Shi still vaguely saw a small island not far away. In addition to this small island, what surprised Brother Shi was that there were a few scattered families on the edge of the lake behind this cliff! From time to time, you can see ducks swimming on the surface of the lake.

Seeing this scene, Brother Shi couldn't help but turn his head curiously to look at Qiao Feng, who was sitting opposite the boat: Since Dong Qingyun is so hidden, why are there almost everyone here? And out of Jinling City, this Mingyang Lake stretches for several miles, and there are almost no people here, how can this not make people curious?

It would be understandable if there was only one boatman, Brother Shi, but looking at these seven or eight families, Brother Shi was a little puzzled! These people are so close to Jinling City, if those soldiers and horses are not far from here, how can there not be a little bit of news? What's more, looking at Qiao Feng's appearance at this time, he is obviously extremely clear about the situation here!

And Qiao Feng, who was sitting opposite Shi Yuan, saw Shi Yuan's eyes, as if he knew what he was going to ask, so he opened his mouth to explain: "Shi Gongzi, this place is called Yelian Village, which is a small fishing village on the edge of Jinling City, and makes a living by fishing. ”

"Huh? This...... That's it? Brother Shi was still listening, but Qiao Feng just said this and stopped, so he couldn't help but ask dissatisfiedly, this is obviously the same as not saying it! secretly said in his heart, and then said: "Brother Qiao, you don't think I'm here to travel...... Played, right? What is the name of this village, what does it matter to me......"

Hearing Shi Yuan's words, and seeing Shi Yuan's dissatisfied look, Qiao Feng's face hesitated for a moment, and then he explained: "Although this Yelian Village is close to Jinling City, it is all dependent on this Mingyang Lake for a living, self-sufficient, and because of the inconvenient terrain, few people in the village will go to Jinling City. ”

Hearing this very general explanation, Brother Shi didn't ask Qiao Feng again. This "Yelian Village" is definitely not so simple! Don't...... Which "Dingnan Army" is this suspicious formation?

Thinking in his heart, Brother Shi looked at the boatman who was holding the boat. The boatman looked to be about fifty years old, barefoot, and wearing a green cloth shirt. In the early spring, he looks a little thin, but he is very energetic. His face was full of stubble, and his hair looked a little unkempt, but it was the standard boatman's dress.

But the boatman who was holding the boat, when he saw Shi Yuan, subconsciously dodged......

Seeing this, Brother Shi furrowed his brows slightly, but still asked, "Abo, are you from this village?" Seeing the boatman's dodging appearance, Brother Shi was even more sure in his heart that this matter was unusual.

But for Brother Shi's words, the boatman didn't seem to hear it. Still flexibly holding the pole in his hand, he continued to move forward with the boat...... Brother Shi couldn't help but be depressed, and was about to open his mouth to ask again, but Qiao Feng smiled at him, interrupted him, and explained: "Shi Gongzi, he ...... He's deaf...... I can't hear you. ”

"Deaf?" Muttering to himself, Shi Yuan took a deep look at the boatman who was holding the boat in front of him, and fell into deep thought...... Things have come to this point, and it stands to reason that Dong Qingyun should not hide anything from himself anymore. But today, all the way to this point, Qiao Feng has been hiding from himself. As for the location of the 5,000 centaurs, I still don't know at all.

And as for the boatman in front of him...... He was the Qiao Feng who asked first, and when he looked at him again, he obviously dodged and quickly lowered his mind.

Perhaps the boatman really didn't hear it, and when he looked at him, he was a little restrained, so he dodged for a while. But it's also possible...... It was he who heard it, and when he saw what he saw, he deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb...... Therefore, I am really a little unsure whether this boatman is really deaf or not.

It seems that today's trip should not be in vain, and when I see those 5,000 people later, maybe I will see some clues!

Brother Shi didn't ask any more questions, and quietly watched the ripples on the surface of the lake after the boat rowed by. As the boat moved forward, the seven or eight families in Nalotus Leaf Village gradually disappeared into the mist of the water...... And Brother Shi finally discovered that the direction in which this boat rowed was the island he had seen earlier!

Don't...... Are those soldiers and horses on this island? Looking at the island that gradually became clear, Brother Shi thought silently in his heart.

As the boat approached, the scene on the island became clearer and clearer. After the boat was about a hundred meters away from the island, the boatman put away the pole he was holding in his hand. Not far ahead, there was a fence built high to block the way. The wooden stakes of the fence were firmly rooted in the water, and the island was circled, but from a distance, it looked like a small city!

On the fence, Brother Shi could see several figures. But what they were wearing was not the armor that Brother Shi thought, but a cloth coat, and they didn't wear weapons.

Seeing this, Brother Shi was puzzled for a moment. But he was already ready to be a quiet beautiful man and observe secretly, so he didn't ask Dong Feng anything...... However, after hearing the shouts of the people on the fence, he was a little uneasy

The boat swayed with the waves of the lake, and at this time there were only forty or fifty meters left from the fence. I only heard that on the fence, someone shouted: "This is the property of the Guo family, you must be invited to enter, you ...... wait."

The people on the fence continued to shout, but Brother Shi was already stunned: "Guo ...... The Guo family? This island belongs to the Guo family? Hearing the shouts of the comers, Brother Shi's heart felt like a pot had exploded......

In Jinling City, there can be such a family background, and the surname is Guo, except for Guo Youwei and Guo Renjie, father and son, Brother Shi can no longer think of others.

And just when Shi Yuan's heart was full of doubts, Qiao Feng on the boat didn't know where to take out a token, and then threw the token out vigorously!

The token made a long arc in the air, and then a "bang" was heard, and the token was firmly embedded in the stake of the fence......

After hearing that this island was the property of the Guo family, Brother Shi's heart was full of doubts. But seeing Qiao Feng's skills, he couldn't help but shout the word "good" in his heart!
