Chapter 212: Situation: Break and Stand
Deng Feihu's boat is naturally not as good as the clipper of the river dragon, not to mention others, the side of this passenger ship alone has been worn in many places, and the bottom of the boat is covered with moss, attached to many river mussels, the three of them stepped on the board, and they could actually hear the creaking sound, it is such a boat, it is actually the most stable among many passenger ships, you can imagine how damaged other ships are!
When the three of them stepped on Deng Feihu's ship, Deng Feihu came out of the control room with a cigarette pipe in his mouth, and he said with a smile while swallowing clouds and spitting out fog: "Three of you are my Deng Feihu's distinguished guests, Cheng Si, you have to entertain my distinguished guests well!"
The boatman who solicited business was called Cheng Si, and Cheng Si got Deng Feihu's order, and hurriedly agreed: "Boss Deng, I don't need your orders, I will naturally treat the three distinguished guests as my father and mother." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Deng Feihu scolded with a smile: "As far as you kid elf, don't say anything else, you want to entertain the three distinguished guests, you go and bring my tobacco to the three distinguished guests, so that they can taste the taste of Ziyun smoke." ”
When Zhao Yishan and the three of them heard this, they felt that Deng Feihu wanted to let them smoke! But none of the three of them could smoke, so Zhao Yishan said in a deep voice: "Boss Deng, hurry up and start the boat, we won't smoke Ziyunyan." ”
Deng Feihu looked pityful, and said: "Three, it's a pity if you don't smoke Ziyun cigarettes, Ziyun cigarettes are the best in smoke, I am reluctant to smoke them on weekdays, I only smoke some bad street goods, I really don't know what to say about you!"
Although Deng Feihu's words were full of dissatisfaction, he shook his head and paced to start the boat, Cheng Si saw this, and led Zhao Yishan and the three of them to the cabin.
Once the trio were seated in the cabin, they felt the ship shake and creak.
The three of them were not at ease, and came to the deck, it turned out that the ship had slowly sailed away from Zaoqian Bay under the control of Deng Feihu and the boatmen, and headed for the center of the Jinhong River, but the wind and waves on the river were quite strong, and the ships were affected by the wind and waves, shaking left and right, so they made a creaking sound.
Zhao Yishan and the three of them shook their heads and sighed in their hearts, except for the ships of the Zheng family, the other ships of the Great Zhou Kingdom were originally like this! No wonder the Zheng family was able to control the shipping on the Jinhong River and become the shipping overlord of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Although the ship was in poor condition, the three of them returned to the cabin with the mentality that they would be safe, and let Deng Feihu steer the ship against the current and march towards Tianhong City.
The ship sailed gracefully on the Jinhong River, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, the speed was not fast, and it was not too slow, and at the end of the day, two or three hundred miles of waterway could be completed.
The ship sailed past the Baisui County wharf, leaving the Zheng family's ships docked at the Baisui County wharf far behind, until they were nowhere to be seen.
The days of the boat ride were boring, and Zhao Yishan meditated with all his heart, or exhaled to accumulate internal strength, or meditated to accumulate the vitality of heaven and earth in the acupoints.
You Shiyong often came to the deck, cast fishing nets, and captured river fresh, You Shiyong's fishing skills have been verified on the fast boat of the river dragon, at this time on Deng Feihu's boat, You Shiyong easily and happily caught a lot of delicious and fat river fish, which greatly improved the food of Deng Feihu and the boatman, and provoked Deng Feihu and the boatman to have the intention of recruiting You Shiyong, but You Shiyong's ghost-like character naturally skillfully rejected their request, or did not let them put forward the request at all, so they nipped their thoughts in the bud。
Zhang Shunshui is very diligent, and there is nothing else to do on this rickety ship, so he comes to the deck every day to practice martial arts, You Shiyong is very puzzled by this, and often teases: "Brother Zhang, you are playing to the air, practicing martial arts alone, isn't it lonely? Isn't it boring?"
Zhang Guishui said: "Heaven rewards hard work, even if no one accompanies me to practice martial arts, I will make progress by myself!" After Zhang Guishui finished speaking, he nodded heavily and said, "Yes, that's it!"
You Shiyong really convinced Zhang Shunshui's stubbornness, he couldn't find anyone to play with him, so he had to cast fishing nets on Jin Hongjiang again and start his fishing career.
The boat floated on the Jinhong River for a month, seeing that it was about to sail out of Aozhou, after docking, Zhao Yishan, You Shiyong, and Zhang Zhishui went ashore to buy daily necessities, and as a result, in the process of purchasing, the three heard two major news.
A major piece of news is that Shang Dayi and Bao Ming have broken through Tuzhou City, and Prince Qi and Prince Zhu Kecong, who held Tuzhou City, committed suicide and martyrdom, and Tuzhou has changed hands since then, belonging to Emperor Zhu Yunyu.
Another major news is that the Great Yan State has captured Yuanzhou and Mozhou in the north of the Great Zhou State, and the soldiers pointed out that the iron cavalry is going south, and the Zhongzhou of the Great Zhou State is already in danger, and Zhu Yunyu has issued five edicts in a row, requiring the defenders from all over the country to transfer troops to the border of Zhongzhou to resist the attack of the iron cavalry of the Great Yan State.
When the three of them heard the news, they looked at each other, as if the struggle for imperial power was developing as predicted by the head of Gao, and they didn't know whether Zhu Yunyu wanted to continue to let Shang Dayi and Bao Ming attack Prince Xi in Nanzhou, or let these two lead the generals back to Zhongzhou to defend against foreign aggression.
Zhao Yishan asked the question in his heart to a know-it-all, this person deserved to be a know-it-all, and after hearing Zhao Yishan's question, he said eloquently: " This Zhu Yunyu can be said to have lost his mind, he wants Shang Dayi and Bao Ming to attack Nanzhou immediately, originally Shang Dayi and Bao Ming broke through the city of Tuzhou, both the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but Zhu Yunyu still ordered the two to immediately lead the troops to Nanzhou, not to let them repair, it can be said that Shang Dayi and Bao Ming's soldiers have complained, now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the well-informed wealthy families, are not optimistic about Shang Dayi and Bao Ming, thinking that these two will be defeated by Prince Xi, and for Zhu Yunyu, he does not let the two lead troops to resist the iron cavalry of the Great Yan State, then they face the danger that Zhongzhou is broken and Tianhong City is not defended。 If Prince Xi can defeat Shang Dayi and Bao Ming, then the soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom will obey Prince Xi's orders, crusade against the Great Yan Kingdom, and recover the lost territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom!"
The meaning of the know-it-all words is obvious, that is, Prince Xi is already expected by everyone, and Zhu Yunyu has become the target of everyone.
Know-it-all is right, Zhu Yunyu, who is far away in Tianhong City, is anxious, firstly, he is not sure whether Shang Dayi and Bao Ming can break through Nanzhou City, and secondly, whether the soldiers he transferred in a hurry can resist the iron cavalry of the Great Yan Kingdom, he is not sure.
He deals with the war reports from all over the world every day, what he hears and sees is bad news, he has been deeply frightened, and he wakes up from his sleep every day, it can be said that he has insomnia every day, he has never been like now, he feels that the dragon chair does not belong to him, and what is even more terrifying is that the Great Zhou Kingdom may perish in his hands, and he will become the king of the Great Zhou Kingdom!
This deep fear made Zhu Yunyu grumpy, and the number of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who were executed by him for no reason has reached hundreds.
And these eunuchs and palace maids are not people who don't listen to things outside the window, they are better informed than anyone else, seeing that the Great Zhou Kingdom is already in danger, they also made calculations, arranged their own back roads, stole the property and treasures in the palace, escaped from the palace, and went to a hidden place to live in seclusion.
There was chaos in the palace, and the whole Great Zhou Kingdom was not peaceful, thieves were everywhere, but the government had no intention of arresting, homeless and hungry people could be seen everywhere, merchants had no intention of doing business, because they were afraid that the shops would be robbed, and the peasants had no intention of farming, because the tax burden of the imperial court was too high.
Even the wealthy and the strong have a tight life, and they have to eliminate the collateral clansmen to reduce the burden on the family!
Zhao Yishan and the three of them could already feel these chaos in the place of purchase, Zhao Yishan regretted it in his heart, regretting why he had to assassinate Zhu Kexin in the first place, letting Zhu Yunyu lose control, letting the Great Zhou Kingdom lose control, and letting the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom fall into deep trouble.
You Shiyong seemed to know what Zhao Yishan was thinking, and muttered: "If it is not broken, it will not stand, and after it is broken, after the troubled times, the world will be peaceful, and the people will live a good life." ”
When Zhao Yishan heard this, he had to comfort himself: "Even if I don't deal with Zhu Yunyu and Zhu Kexin, Prince Qi and Prince Xi will not let go of the two of them, this troubled world is not something I can control, Zhao Yishan, don't think too highly of yourself." ”
After the purchase was completed, the three of them returned to Deng Feihu's ship, at this time Deng Feihu and the boatman did not know where to go, and they were nowhere to be found.
