Chapter 607: An Acquaintance Visits
The river is surging, boundless, and vast. 【】
The wind doesn't blow, there are waves rolling.
When the wind rises, there are waves of white flowers.
As soon as I got out of the ferry, the boat began to rock.
Qin Qi threw away the account book, hugged Gu Xinyue's waist with both arms, and used some strength to stabilize his figure.
Holding her, I opened the window a little bit and looked at the scenery outside.
It is different from standing on the shore, being on the river, the scenery is more far-reaching, listening to the sound of the waves, and feeling the rocking of the boat.
A sense of remoteness suddenly floated in my heart.
However, this feeling was only felt for a while, and Qin Qi felt a little dizzy.
I secretly said that it was not good in my heart.
They came from the capital, all the way by land, only from Huai'an to Yangzhou by water.
At that time, the boat was walking on Gaoyou Lake, and there were slight ripples, and in the first two days, he, Qin Mohan and Du Zhong were all vomiting.
(Because of this, I didn't occupy the cabin, but rested outside)
It took me a long time to get used to it, but the waves here were much larger than in the lake.
It's a three-story building ship, and it's all rocking......
Belch......
Holding Gu Xinyue's waist with one hand, Qin Qi turned his head and covered his mouth fiercely with his hand.
It took a few rounds of vigorous pranayama to suppress the surging nausea.
Thinking in his heart, fortunately, the two **** and Qin Mohan had no signs of it, and in order to harm each other, they deliberately led the other party to shake on the tip of the boat (not daring to move the hull), and they overcame the shaking dizziness in two days.
Otherwise, if he shakes it like this now, he will be able to spit it out.
After pressing it down, when he looked up, he saw Gu Xinyue looking sideways, with a worried face.
Qin Qi smiled and shook his head, signaling that he was fine, took the tea bowl fixed on the table from the side and took a sip, his eyes swept over the furniture and utensils that were fixed sturdily.
"Peony said that just out of the capital, she and those guards couldn't stand the shaking of the boat, and then when the wind rose, the boat shook, and she was almost injured by the moving table, Zhang Qi asked all the furniture and daily necessities to be fixed, and let the guards have time to follow the boatman into the water to practice water." Gu Xinyue's fingers lightly pressed the x position on the back of Qin Qi's neck, and said while rubbing it.
When she decided to go to the south of the Yangtze River, Qin Mohan asked Wei Zhao for three official ships that had just been built, and Qin Qi bought two, plus the three purchased by Zhang's caravan, forming a large fleet of eight ships.
In addition to the guards and accompanying subordinates brought by Peony, they also helped Shopkeeper Zhang bring goods (there is no tax on the things on the official ship along the way), and there were some subordinates of Qin Mohan and Qin Qi who pretended to be shipwrights.
The total number of people in the fleet is almost a thousand.
(There are 30 to 50 boatmen in a boat.)
In order to delay the time, the fleet went slowly, which gave enough time for those northern men to experience the difficulties of life on the water.
Zhang Qi simply started the idea of training.
According to Peony, every day the fleet stops early and sets sail very late, and many times it does not stop in the town, but just outside.
Then you could hear the guards being chased into the water like ducks.
Fortunately, there are boatmen who understand the water, and the water in those places is not urgent, and the guards are not afraid of the cold water after a long time, plus the thick ginger soup boiled on the ship.
I really learned to swim (dog planing).
It's no longer like at the beginning, as soon as the boat moves, it becomes a soft-footed shrimp.
When she heard it at the time, she only listened to it as an anecdote, but now that she saw Qin Qi's face pale, she couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart.
If you want to be unified, you must cross the river, and whether it is the Northwest Army or the Mobei Army, they are all warriors immediately.
Qin Qi closed his eyes and enjoyed Gu Xinyue's massage, rubbed his hand on her waist, and said with a chuckle: "There are rivers in Ganzhou, and there are rivers in Montenegro, let's practice more when we go back." ”
The great river has been a natural danger since ancient times, and it is not only the wide river surface that hinders it, but also the constitution of the northern soldiers who do not know the nature of water.
But now that I've realized it, there's a way to deal with it.
You don't need to know all of them, as long as you train an elite soldier, an elite vanguard, and seize the ferry, you will naturally take the lead.
"Girl, General." Zhang Qi pushed the door in, shouted and swooped out, and exited the door.
glanced at the peony who was smiling aggrievedly.
The injustice doesn't remind me that the two inside are so affectionate.
Peony turned his head and said to Yuan Zisu with a smile: "I have sour dates here, do you want to taste one?" ”
Yuan Zisu glanced at Zhang Qi and nodded silently.
He has been going back and forth to the capital Huai'an since he was a child, and he followed Xie Shaofeng everywhere, in fact, the water is very good, and his pale face is not because of seasickness, but because.
The girl said that he didn't need to take care of him, and let him go out and rest by himself.
Only the two of them were left inside.
However, his mind was imperceptible, and they thought that he was seasick.
"What?" Hearing Qin Qi's voice with a hint of annoyance inside, Zhang Qi grimaced at Peony and pushed the door in.
Qin Qi was still holding Gu Xinyue's waist, his head was slightly lowered and Gu Xinyue rubbed the x position on the back of his neck, glanced at him lightly, and said, "Say." ”
"Look outside." Zhang Qi tilted his head and pointed his finger out the window.
Gu Xinyue let go of her hand, turned her head curiously, and then stabbed Qin Qi and said, "Look." ”
She squirmed a little urgently, and it happened that the waves came and the boat swayed, Qin Qi hurriedly hugged her with both hands first, and then pressed against her back, and looked out of the window.
The channel of the canal is only a few tens of meters wide, and if it is a big ship, you should pay attention to the intersection of the two boats, but when you get out of the ferry, you will be on the vast river, and the boats will no longer be in the same order as in the canal.
Outside the ferry, the mast of the ship swayed, and the shadow of the ship was heavy.
However, no one's ship dared to be parallel to the county master's fleet, or even close.
When the fleet came out, the river was still empty, and the boats next to it avoided it.
But now, there are several ships sailing next to the fleet.
The distance is only more than 20 meters.
Everyone on the boat on the other side can see it.
Belch......
Everyone on the boat on the other side can see it!
Gu Xinyue pointed at the person and said uncertainly: "I look, why is that person a little familiar?" ”
Qin Qi's brows frowned slightly, and he turned around and said, "Keep the course and speed, and let the other party get on the boat if there is a small boat approaching." ”
Although he still had doubts in his heart, Zhang Qi didn't ask, answered, turned around and went out, and ordered to go down.
When the boat reached a third of the water, the boats were still following unhurriedly, and the guards on board were extremely careful one by one, and saw that the other boat had dropped something floating on the water.
Then a figure flew up from the ship, tapped twice on the object, and the man was already on the ship.
Seeing that the corners of Qin Qi's eyes twitched, he turned his head and closed the window, after tidying up Gu Xinyue's clothes.
I heard someone laugh and say, "County Lord, long time no see!" ”
