22. Chapter XXII
This strong man's name is Yan Xuehai, and he is a water bandit that Duan Qishan knew when he was fighting, and he is very good at water transportation along the way.
Back then, he didn't know Duan Qishan, Yan Xuehai had been dominating the river for more than ten years, and finally lost in the hands of Duan Qishan, he originally thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't want Duan Qishan to be a hero and cherish the hero, so he let him live after winning.
In addition, the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty at that time was short of manpower. So, he recommended this reckless hero to the emperor and put him in charge of the transportation of the Yangtze River.
Although there were many civil and military officials who were vetoing this mention at the beginning, the emperor still insisted on agreeing.
After so many years, although there are still people who are constantly finding faults, the Yan Xuehai in front of him has real skills, not to mention the orderly management of the Yangtze River Basin, and has also driven the economic development of the entire Yangtze River Basin, and increased the tax revenue here several times.
Such a real merit is placed in front of the ministers, and now that the emperor is sitting on the throne, excluding dissidents, and holding great power, the ministers do not dare to touch the emperor's mold, so there are many fewer voices of rebuttal now.
Duan Qishan was also happy when he saw his former friends at this time, he was determined to leave the court before, and Yan Xuehai in front of him had also persuaded him in every possible way, and finally after learning that he had been poisoned, he did not persuade him again, but looked for a solution all over the world.
Duan Qishan also accepted his feelings, this time on the way to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he originally needed a boat to cross the vast ocean, he didn't know much about things on the water, but fortunately, when he was fighting, he learned a few points.
If there were more ships and experience from Yan Xuehai in front of him, then his chances of surviving in the sea would be a few points higher.
This is also the reason why Duan Qishan will write to him, and when they finally met at this moment, Duan Qishan said with a smile: "This time I also have you to thank you." โ
When Yan Xuehai heard this, he smiled indifferently, hooked his shoulder, and said: "By the way, I remember that you wrote in the letter that you also brought two children over, but I didn't expect that you, an old bachelor, would also have the day when the old tree bloomed, and it is said that you also married a beautiful daughter-in-law." โ
He sighed twice and sighed: "It's just a pity that I was trapped in the southeast at the time, and I was fighting against those gangsters who had nothing to do, so I didn't go to your wedding banquet, and every time I think about it after that, I feel very regretful...... Hey, it's also bad luck, people like us who used to lick blood from the knife and kill people like numbness, the killing is too heavy, several of my wives were killed by me, and I don't have a son until now, and it's sad to say. โ
He shook his head and continued: "After my sister-in-law died, I also knew that you were in a bad mood, so it didn't take long for you to take your two children and go to live in the mountains. I originally wanted to go to you, but the one above sent me a message at this time to tell me not to harass you, heh...... The two of us are iron buddies who have passed our lives, you said this one, how can you take care of the two of us. โ
When Yan Xuehai talked about this matter, he was still a little indignant.
In fact, Duan Qishan knew this as early as in his letter, the one he was talking about was very big and could not be written directly, but Duan Qishan knew who he was talking about.
That one is the current emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, Qi Shaoheng.
Back then, when he joined the army, the emperor was only a โกโก-year-old child, and when he gradually established his prestige and fame, the emperor also grew into a teenager, with ambitions in his heart, but he was subject to the power of the later clans and the traitors of the previous dynasty, so he was trapped in prison.
After Duan Qishan talked to him a few times, he could see that although he was young, he had a groove in his heart, and even cared about Li Min's life, so he was willing to work for him and laid down this thousands of miles for him.
Even with a few friends from the rivers and lakes he knew on the road, he also served the emperor, and a lot of people died at the beginning, but he felt that it was worth it, because the emperor did it, what he said back then.
Speaking of which, Duan Qishan took the boat this time, and originally planned to go down the Yangtze River to Kyoto to meet the saint.
Duan Qishan hadn't seen the emperor for seven or eight years, and he didn't know what the other party was like now.
Duan Qishan quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Those two children in my family are a little naughty, plus it is the first time they go out, they are a little excited, even I can't find their figures at this moment. But they are all on this dock, and you can wait a little while, and when I find them, I will take these two little ones with me and come on board with you. โ
When Yan Xuehai heard this, he grinned on his face, but when he was halfway through the laughter, he didn't know what he thought, so he looked at him again and again, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed it.
Duan Qishan also understood that his daughter-in-law, Yu'er, gave birth to two little monkeys, and it was estimated that someone with a heart knew about it, and this person with a heart was only ten people when he was full.
But these ten people are all high-powered, otherwise they would not have been separated by such a long distance, and they also learned the news that he tried his best to hide.
Duan Qishan had a headache when he thought that some of these people were the people he was going to meet on this trip.
Because these people are a little too smart and very difficult to deal with, if they see their two children at that time, they must ask carefully, but he himself can't say one, two, three.
When Duan Qishan thought of this, he sighed helplessly, but at this time, he suddenly felt that his thighs were hugged by two people.
Duan Qishan lowered his head, and saw two little guys, finally running back, at this moment Duan Ziqian's head was sweating profusely, and Duan Zixu was refreshing, but he was also a little panting, and he could see that he was a little tired.
Duan Qishan didn't know what these two people were doing, but looking at the corners of Duan Ziqian's mouth, with the residue of food, he knew that he took the money again and went around to buy something to eat.
Duan Qishan hugged Duan Ziqian in his arms, let him climb on his back along his shoulder, and let him lie on his back and rest.
After doing this, Duan Qishan set his eyes on Duan Zixu's body.
Duan Zixu shook his head, took a few steps forward, clenched his fists with a respectful expression, and saluted Yan Xuehai and said, "Hello uncle, I am my father's eldest son, named Duan Zixu, please take care of me this time, I am very grateful." โ
After he finished saying this, Duan Qishan turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but Yan Xuehai was already dumbfounded, and said with a surprised face: "I'll strangle a mother, you little baby, you are too demonic!" โ
Yan Xuehai stared at Duan Zixu carefully, and said in a loud voice: "I really didn't see it, you rough man, the two babies you gave birth to are so handsome, it can be seen that my sister-in-law must be beautiful, it's a pity that I was unlucky, I didn't see my sister-in-law's face, but your child is very well educated, it seems that you are a good person, I will be jealous." โ
Duan Qishan knew that he was joking, so he shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You are still young, I only became my own son when I was established, you still have to grind, don't be discouraged so quickly." โ
Yan Xuehai nodded with a wry smile, and said, "Since everyone is here, let's go, that one is also waiting for you, and the national teacher ......"
Duan Qishan answered, hugged Duan Zixu, walked behind Yan Xuehai, and got on the boat together, and the luxurious ship set sail in a short time, down the Yangtze River, and headed towards Jincheng, the imperial capital of the Great Qi Dynasty.
