Chapter 158: The Journey (1)

The water waves are turbulent, because it is the main flood season, there are very few ships on the channel along the way, except for the Chu army warships that occasionally sail by, basically not a single other ship has been seen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it is strange to say that the scattered Chu warships along the way saw the Song family's fleet and did not intercept and inspect them, so they let them sail away.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh, no wonder this Song Shidao tone is so big, it turns out that it is really not simple.

Most of the escorts on these ships are some Song valve guards, at this time they are busy back and forth, Zhenjiang to Pengcheng is not very far, if in modern times, only more than 400 kilometers, 5 or 6 hours by car, in ancient times, only honestly take a day's boat.

Although I don't know what Song Valve's ships are transporting, according to Zhou Ning's observations, seeing that they are secretive, nine times out of ten they are illegal salt.

……

The autumn weather is very fickle, with sunny mornings and cloudy skies in the afternoon. As soon as the rain had fallen, the boat's porthole was still hung with the current, and the boat started from the Guazhou ferry port and followed the river upstream, and it didn't take long to arrive at Zhongli County in the upper reaches of the Zhenjiang River.

In the afternoon, Song Shidao and Song Lu came to visit Zhou Ning again, although Song Quan's youngest son was a child of a big valve, he had an excellent temper, and the two chatted very well.

Listening to Song Shidao's chat, he went to Bashu this time, in addition to selling goods, he also took his younger sister Song Yuzhi to visit his eldest sister Song Yuhua, who married to Bashu Yingvalve.

Is Song Yuzhi also on board?

This thought passed through Zhou Ning's heart, and then he didn't think about it anymore. Chatted with the two of them with great interest for a while, and then didn't care about the gap between the times, and also talked about some allusions in later generations, everyone saw what he said whimsically, and listened with great interest, at this time, Song Lu said a little mysteriously: "I see that Brother Zhou is also a person with martial arts, I don't know if I have heard of He's Bi?" ”

Zhou Ning said in his heart: "It's here." ”

Quietly, he said lightly: "Naturally, I have heard that in the past, the Chu people Bian and Depu were in the Chu Mountains, and they were dedicated to King Wen. I wonder if I'm right? ”

Song Lu smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Zhou has seen and heard a lot, and what he said is naturally the same, this and the Bi later came to the hands of Duke Qi Huan, Duke Qi Huan ordered Guan Zhong to write 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang' eight seal characters, engraved by the jade stonemason, so the Heshi Bi became the Hedi seal. According to the legend of my Song family since ancient times, this jade is a strange stone from the fairy world, containing earth-shattering secrets, as for what the secret is, no one knows. ”

Zhou Ning couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly mention the matter of He's Bi?" ”

Song Shidao said with a smile: "Brother Zhou seems to be in the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't know much about the big things that are happening in the rivers and lakes. ”

"What's the big deal?"

Song Lu said with a smile, "He's jade, Yang Gong's treasure house, the two get one, and you can settle the world." Now everywhere, capable people want to be emperors in the world. Therefore, these two things have become a matter of competition among people all over the world. Recently, there is a saying in the rivers and lakes that He's Bi appeared in Luoyang, so people who ask themselves a little bit of skill have rushed to Luoyang to try their luck, speaking of which, we thought that Brother Zhou was also interested in He's Bi, so we also wanted to go to Luoyang. Don't hide it from Brother Zhou, after we send the goods to Sichuan this time, we will take a trip to Luoyang to see how the Song family is angry, and then we may have a goodbye time. ”

They didn't know that this Yang Gong's treasure house was in their hands......

Zhou Ning couldn't help laughing, and Song Shidao said again: "I heard that Xiang Yu, Yingzheng, and Li Shimin are all bound to win the He family, but I am afraid that in these few days, these three people will go to the Eastern Capital, and at that time, the eyes of the world will be focused on Luoyang City, which is really the Dragon and Tiger Society Jinghua......"

Zhou Ning couldn't help but ask: "Xiang Yu is a famous rebel, does he have the courage to enter Luoyang?" ”

Song Lu smiled: "What is this? Since Pengcheng, most of the Central Plains are under the control of Wagangzhai, and now the Sui Dynasty's edict is only afraid that it will not be able to get out of Jinggi, with Xiang Yu's ability, what is the difficulty of sneaking into Luoyang? ”

The three of them were chatting happily, when the big boat suddenly slowed down, and someone rushed over at the bow of the boat, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh no, the rear...... Countless big ships of the Chu army came to the rear! ”

The faces of the three of them changed at the same time.

Zhou Ning hurriedly looked out from the porthole, only to see the vast river on both sides of the river, and within the range of vision, more than a dozen warships could be seen rushing behind them, and then they were rapidly approaching, and there was an extremely familiar sense of oppression.

"The overlord has arrived, why don't you stop the ship and retreat?" Zhong Li's extremely rough voice came from a distance.

"Xiang Yu?"

Zhou Ning's heart was terrified, and he hurriedly reined in the aura on his body, lest he detect his breath.

At this time, Song Lu's voice came from the bow of the ship: "Song Valve's steward Yin beard Song Lu is polite, does Brother Xiang really want Song Valve to stop the ship and retreat?" ”

Xiang Yu's familiar voice sounded indifferently: "Since it is a Song valve, then there is no need to stop the boat, there is the Ghost Cry Gorge in front, and the river is narrow, please let your valve let go." ”

Song Lu was also slightly silent: "Dock!" ”

Under his order, the four warships slowly leaned towards the left bank, Xiang Yu thanked him, and more than a dozen warships rushed upstream.

Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief, Xiang Yu's breath was too intimidating, although it had no effect on him, but it was no wonder that there was a legend in history that the princes saw Xiang Yu prostrate on their knees and dare not look up.

With this little episode, the three of them lost their interest in chatting, and some of them said a few words along the way. It was not until the evening that the four large ships slowly anchored at the southern pier of Zhongli County.

Zhongli County is now North Xuzhou, there are still ninety-five miles away from Pengcheng, the ship staggered to a stop, and that night, Zhou Ning looked out the window at the half-quarter moon, but it was a little difficult to sleep.

Xiang Yu, Li Shimin, Ying Zheng, a group of demons, dragons and tigers rendezvous, gathered in Luoyang......

I am afraid that this time in Luoyang will not be smooth sailing, you may have to meet many people, you have to do a lot of things, and you may encounter all kinds of dangers.

He sorted out his emotions, got up from the bed, and paced on the deck, at this time the bright moon was in the sky, the river shadow was cloudy, and for a time there was a sense that the river shadow was floating in the air, and the river was shooting the sky. The thousands of lights in the city in the distance flicker, reflected in the water, are also a nice view.

With a sigh of relief, he was about to go back to the cabin, but he saw that in the moonlight over there, Huang Rong, who had seen him in the daylight, also came out of nowhere, and sat on the edge of the boat with him. ”

"Why are you here?"

"I've been hiding in the boat. Those two nasty ghosts are not very good, and I got rid of them in three or two clicks. ”

“…… Shaoxia has good skills. The scenery of this city is not bad, do you want to go for a walk? ”

Huang Rong grinned and said, "Okay, I'm going to find something to eat, I've been hungry for a day." ”
