Chapter 169: The Boat

The stout canal is in front of you, the boats on the river surface of the Jingqian Canal are dozens of zhang wide, and from time to time there is a magnificent and majestic boat sailing by, the sound of the oars plucking the river water is happy with the wind, and the fishing boats on the river are all over the place, like a little brushstroke on a piece of white paper. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info sheng sang all over the canal.

This dragon entrenched in the hinterland of Zhongzhou for nearly 20 years is one of the greatest projects in Zhongzhou in the past 100 years, north to Hanyi City, south to Qiannanling, every year for the Wu Dynasty to create an unknown amount of wealth, its magnificence makes the audience all let out a sigh of admiration, but the emperor who presided over the construction of the canal has been dead for ten years, and the only child has also died on the Dabu River.

The waves have swept away the heroes, and the wind has changed in the past few decades, and things have long been different.

In the world's cognition, Jingyang and the Supervision Department who have died on the Dabu River can carry about forty or fifty people on this official boat, which is considered a large boat, with a huge blue-skinned head in the bow and eight thick oars on each side, which is neatly rising and falling and plucking the river, making the boat fly forward like a sharp arrow, and there is also a domineering and mighty word "Dawu" on the sail that is hung up, so that all the ships that see the majestic and majestic Dawu cannot help but be in awe.

The domineering majesty of the Wu Dynasty over the years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and all the surrounding ships obediently give way to the official ship before breaking the waves, and even some ships will stop and bow their heads to this official ship.

Jingyang sat in the room in the cabin, looking at the ships that were swaying on the surface of the water and silently giving way, full of piety, and the corners of his mouth were shallow sarcasm and sadness.

The rooms were simply furnished, and in order to reduce the weight of the ship and increase the speed, all the superfluous belongings had been dismantled, leaving only two beds that were fixed to the ship to prevent it from moving with the ship's turbulence, as well as a table that was also fixed and a few moving stools. However, the many wooden ties on the wooden walls, the iron nails that could not be pulled out, and the contrast between the old and new woods still show that there were traces of luxury in the past.

The room was damp, and there was moss on the table that still had traces after cleaning. Jingyang poured a cup of tea and saluted his master with both hands, and then he also stood at the window with a delicate blue printed pattern teacup, getting up and looking at the shallow waves outside and the snowflake-like white waves plucked by the giant oars on the side of the boat.

The low mountain line on the other side of the canal was undulating, constantly retreating, and it was too far away to directly see the speed, but Jingyang could feel that the speed of this ship was indeed much faster than the speed of the rest of the ships. The combination of sails and oars, coupled with the special construction conditions of the official ship, and even the blessing of runes on the bottom of the ship to enhance the ability to break water, makes the speed of this ship easily become far beyond the existence of other ships.

"No wonder Master said that you could get to Hanyi City in ten days, such a fast speed, and a straight line, ten days is really about the same. ”

If you want to take a carriage from Jiujian Gate to Hanyi City, it will take not just more than ten days, but several months, which shows how much time and wealth this waterway has been saved.

The Jingqian Canal is a straight canal, the purpose of which is to connect the northern Hanyi City with the south, to facilitate the transportation of Zhongzhou, and it is the existence of this canal that connects the north and south of Zhongzhou. At that time, the Nangong Bat Uprising was caused by this river, which was a labor and loss of money at that time, and the fall of the Yin Dynasty This canal is also inseparable. The demon river that trampled on the people in the past can only see how meaningful it was for Emperor Yinjing to be under such tremendous pressure back then, but it is a pity that all the sighs and regrets are meaningless, and everything has long passed.

"The journey of more than ten days is still very hard, the waterway is different from the land route, is it the first time you have taken a boat? Lu Wuqin said with concern.

Jingyang retracted his melancholy thoughts, looked at Lu Wuqin and said, "I have eaten all the more painful suffering, how can I not endure this suffering." ”

Lu Wuqin glanced at him and said, "That's fine." Then he sat down on the bed and meditated cross-legged.

Yuan Zun's powerful ability to meditate cross-legged gave people an almost powerful aura, and Jing Yang only felt that the air around him was heavy, and there was a faint rhythm with the frequency of Lu Wuqin's breathing.

The dullness in the room made Jing Yang unable to think of the things that made him sad, and he had no intention of cultivating, so he walked to the deck to blow the river breeze.

The deck is wide and windy, and the damp wooden deck makes the sound of a tower as you step on it.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Bo and several officials were also on the deck, Yuan Bo was leaning against the railing, talking to the officials about something.

There were these people in this boat, and Jingyang didn't feel much of it, drinking hot tea by himself, walking up to them and looking at the riverside scenery with his back to them.

The appearance of Jingyang made the eyes of these officials of the Supervision Department involuntarily.

Yuan Bo looked at his childish back and smiled coldly, waved his hand to signal several of his subordinates to retreat, and then he walked towards Jingyang.

"Shaoxia, you haven't stopped on the road for two days, are you still used to it?"

Jingyang Yuguang glanced at the adult standing beside him, bowed slightly and said, "Lord Xie cares, the juniors can still endure these hardships." ”

Yuan Bo smiled and said, "It's good that the young man can endure these hardships." ”

Jingyang took a sip of tea. Yuan Bo's blood-red robe was like blood dancing in the wind, his vigorous palms were behind him, a smile appeared on his thin face, and said: "The journey is long, Shaoxia take care of yourself, the Supervision Department is not well entertained, and I also ask Shaoxia and the sword master to forgive me." ”

Jingyang smiled and said, "The principal is polite. He turned his head to look at the cold principal and asked, "I wonder where the young man named He Chengjie is?"

Yuan Bo said: "On this ship, I was worried that the young man would be upset when he saw him, so I ordered him not to come out." ”

When I came, one of the three carriages of the Supervision Department on the road was loaded with rushing materials, the other was Yuan Bo himself, and the material and horses were much inferior, so I knew that it was He Chengjie.

The young man under the command of the Supervision Department is undoubtedly a pitiful character, who was originally sent by the Supervision Department to help several court disciples get better rankings, and then eliminated a few disciples who needed to be eliminated by the court, but he didn't expect to become one of the culprits in the end, and he was also the most miserable backstabbing sheep of the Supervision Department.

He naturally wouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that Yuan Bo didn't want to upset himself because he didn't want to let He Chengjie appear, this old and cunning master who had no official frame to speak of on the surface was actually very ruthless, and the only reason for not letting He Chengjie show up was that he didn't want to upset himself, and he didn't want to be proud of it.

I had a conversation with him in the attic that day, and I expressed my attitude coldly, this adult was still calm and calm, and his words were plain, and the depth of the city government could be seen, Jingyang negotiated with such a character, and actually felt a little pressure in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

"Thank you for not having to, I just hope that Shaoxia can let go of the martial arts test tragedy. ”

Jing Yang glanced at him coldly, and the chills in his heart were endless.

His heart was not smooth, so he was not afraid of the majesty of the important court minister beside him, and asked, "I don't know what answer you are going to give about the matter of my lord Yi Wuchuan?"

Yuan Bo was still smiling, the clouds were calm, he was ready to answer this question, and said: "The Supervision Department can't be the master of this matter, and it needs to see what Yi Weijie and Yi Supervisor mean, so when we go to Hanyi City, we will discuss it again, and Lord Yi Weijie will negotiate with the adults." Shaoxia rest assured, the Supervision Department will definitely give a satisfactory answer in the end. ”

Jingyang raised his eyebrows, and his eyebrows were full of cold. It was originally a matter for the Supervision Department, but I didn't expect the Supervision Department to throw the burden directly on itself again.

Yuan Bo sneered in his heart, and said calmly on his face: "According to the secret letter given to me by the head of the division, after arriving in Hanyi City, the head of the department also plans for you to meet you. ”

Jing Yang glanced at him, and his palms couldn't help but tremble slightly, "Oh?"

Yuan Bo nodded, and said with a seemingly kind meaning: "Han Yicheng and his party are an opportunity for the court to make friends with all the big test Jiayi, so many officials will meet with all the young heroes, the dragon among the young heroes, and the first in the Nine Swords Gate, I don't know how many big people are eager to thrift you, and the young heroes may be a little tired at that time." ”

Jing Yang restrained all his emotions, bowed slightly and said, "Lord Xie reminds." When did the other four meet?"

Yuan Bo said: "Tianya Sword, Tongtian Sect, Wanyin Valley, Dongtian Sect, Nine Sword Sect, and the five major sects are all located in Zhongzhou. The Nine Swords in the East, the Cave Heaven in the West, the End of the North Tianya, the Yin Valley in the South, and the Middle Tongtian are far away from each other, so you will only meet when you arrive in Hanyi City. ”

Jingyang nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case, I'm tired of the principal." ”

Yuan Bo waved his hand and said, "It's just a trivial matter." ”

"The official still has something to deal with, so he won't accompany the young man. Yuan Bo arched his hand.

Jingyang nodded and said, "My lord, please be busy." ”

Yuan Bo smiled slightly and said, "See you later." ”

……

After Yuan Bo turned around, there was a cold glint in the eyes of both of them.

……

The boat is heading north, and the summer breeze is cool.
