The two of them greeted each other face-to-face, and they were about to start talking about the main matter of this convergence, but at this moment, Yan Yu suddenly felt that the direction of his right hand seemed to be far away from here, and there was a rumbling sound, which made him slightly distracted. He thought it was because he rarely saw such a tough military array in front of him, and he was slightly oppressed by the almost scorching gaze of the martial artist in front of him, which made him hallucinate slightly.

However, the rumbling sound did not end in a moment, above the vast field, it was unusually quiet, and there was no high mountains and the murmur of trees around, and after listening for a while, you could recognize that the rumbling sound was rhythmic.

Not only had he heard of it, but the cavalry on the opposite side, although all the soldiers abided by military discipline, and more than a thousand people lined up in the local area, without the slightest abnormal sound, the horses under their seats could not help but make some movements. Animals are much more advanced than humans in some aspects of their perception, so humans sometimes need to rely on the power of animals alone to accomplish certain tasks. The war horses raised by these border guards are becoming more and more sensitive to a certain kind of sound.

As soon as the rumbling sound came, the merchant horses on the side of the Yan family's caravan did not react much, but the war horses on the side of the border cavalry consciously swung their horses' heads slightly towards the place where the sound came from, and raised their long horse ears.

The frontier general also heard some kind of heavy rumbling sound from afar, he was used to this kind of sound, but when he saw the slight change on the face of the young head of the Yan family, who was always rich and rival the country, he thought about it for a while, and finally opened his mouth to explain: "This is the voice from Kyoto, the first sound of the sea trade giant ship setting off, and there are two more after." ”

After Yan Yu understood the meaning of the general's words, he couldn't help but be surprised: "This place is four hundred miles away from Kyoto, to say the least. What could be the sound of something that could travel so far? ”

The border general hesitated for a moment, and then replied with a light smile: "At this year's shipping ceremony, the general missed the opportunity to watch it again, so Yan Shao asked the general, and the general didn't know the specifics, but he was also very curious!" Yan Shao is wise and sensitive, maybe when it is his turn next time, he will take a look in person, maybe he can see the truth at a glance. ”

Yan Yu hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't dare to be." ”

The border general laughed loudly. With a casual lift, he pressed the handle of the knife that shook a little on the side of his waist, and said, "But." If Ben Jiang didn't remember the time of the first sound of the merchant ship in the East China Sea, in this way, Yan Shao's family arrived more than an hour later than the agreed time, and it really made Ben Jiang worry for a while just now! ”

Yan Yu immediately apologized: "It was Yan's fault." ”

The border general shook his head with a smile and said, "Yan Shao doesn't have to take responsibility for himself. This trip is a special situation, and the merchant has no obligation to trek for this matter, but we have caused a lot of trouble to your caravan, and the general should apologize first. ”

……

After a brief conversation, the general who had left the army summoned a group of ten soldiers to the ranks. When these ten people ran close to the Yan family's caravan, none of them had weapons in their hands. Instead, they were divided into groups of two and carried a long plank that resembled a pole, but was wider than it. There were eight soldiers with planks, and two others with tools similar to those used by carpenters.

These eight people entered the middle of the Yan family's caravan, and Yan Yu just raised his hand and pointed at it. They found exactly the carriage in which Lin Shan's carriage was. Immediately afterwards, the sticks in their hands passed under the board of the carriage, and at the same time, the two soldiers with carpenter's tools had already dismantled the carriage. Specifically. It is the separation of the wheels from the body.

It's just half a pillar of incense time, and Lin Shan's carriage is riding. It turned into a sedan chair, which was lifted by eight middle-aged soldiers with long legs and thick arms, and ran away from the Yan family caravan with brisk steps and entered the middle of the cavalry phalanx opposite.

The cavalry, which was originally arrayed into two phalanxes on the left and right, suddenly turned into two dumpling skins when Lin Shan's "sedan chair" entered the position of the Chinese army, and Lin Shan, which could be treated as meat filling, merged and surrounded. The original formation of the cavalry phalanx was quickly disrupted, but it was quickly and neatly replaced, except that the shape was formed into a separate long phalanx from the original left and right phalanxes.

From the periphery, Lin Shan seemed to have disappeared into the military formation.

……

Seeing that the gray cavalry team moving away with the dust flying in the sky at an extremely fast speed, Yan Yu was still standing in front of the Yan family caravan, where he was standing when he talked to the general over there just now. The protagonist of the last mission in this trip was also sent out, Yan Yu thought that he would feel very relaxed, but the figure of the cavalry just now was entrenched in his heart at this time, making him feel a new invisible pressure.

Seeing that his young master was still standing in place after the cavalry walked away, he seemed to be thinking about something, but it didn't seem to be so simple, because there was a clear hint of tightness between his eyebrows, and Governor Wu, who was in charge of the general affairs supervision on the trade road, approached, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly: "Young master, can we start now?" ”

There was another rumbling sound in the sky, Yan Yu frowned, and after being silent for a while, he said one word: "Go." ”

Yan Yu boarded the carriage, and Supervisor Wu beside him was about to leave to greet the queue matters within his duties, but suddenly heard Yan Yu call him: "Governor Wu, please bring me a jar of burning knife wine loaded in the six carts." ”

Inspector Wu turned around and looked at Yan Yu, making sure that he had heard correctly, he couldn't help but hesitate a little: "That wine is extremely strong, and it is easy to hurt your body when you drink it, this trip to transport three truckloads of this wine to Liang Country is actually to be supplied to coolie workers and military defense soldiers, and the young master really wants to drink?" ”

"Then take half a jar!" Yan Yu closed his eyes, pressed his eyelids tightly, the dry feeling in his eyes eased slightly, and he opened his eyes and said, "I want to get drunk." ”

"Yes, young master, wait a minute."

Inspector Wu didn't hesitate any longer, he was already in his forties, but he didn't know why, his mood suddenly became a little fluctuating, Yan Yu's car was not a few steps away from the No. 6 commercial car, Inspector Wu went over there, and he actually trotted up with his clothes.

Yan Yu leaned against the car door, his eyes cast into the distance, his eyes stopped on the huge cloud of smoke and dust left by the cavalry after he walked away, and then his eyes moved up, and then looked at the sky where the clouds were getting thicker, and silently thought in his heart: After I go back, I must gather all the clansmen to talk seriously, but I don't know if they are willing to listen to what my concubine says?

……

When Hirono Yanyu and the cavalry commander talked, they faintly heard the rumbling sound, as the general said, the first of the merchant ship ceremony on the east coast of Kyoto. The so-called first sound represents the warning sound that all the crew members have boarded the ship and returned to their positions.

The source of this sound, in the past few years, was born by the 100 drummers of the festival rooftop dancing drums and hammers, and it was divided into three performances: "Zhenhang", "Qiwei" and "Shunfeng". Kyoto residents have the opportunity to participate in the festival every year, and after a few years of passing it back and forth among the people, it has gradually become a common practice, and everyone calls it "Zhenwei Drum".

To put it in layman's terms, it means that the big ship is about to sail into the vast sea, and I don't know what kind of setbacks and tribulations will be encountered on the way to sail, so at the beginning of the departure, we must make some prestige battles, urge courage and boost morale. It is said that there are actually only ninety-nine of the 100 drummers, because one of the participants cannot be called a drummer, and it is on this day that His Majesty also rolled up his sleeve and swung the drum hammer himself!

But this year's "Zhenwei Drum" made all the spectators feel a little different, it was not the sound of drums, but closer to the sound of spring thunder during the New Year, and every sound on the altar of the festival, it would "soar" and fly out of the billowing smoke.

This seems to be the effect of the spring thunder. The spring thunder should be spring, it seems to be very suitable for the beautiful meaning of the thing itself, but the people in the stands are not blind, the kind of spring thunder released during the New Year, are resting on the ground, lit with a lead, although this super-large share of firecrackers can indeed make a loud noise similar to what is heard on the beach today, but after the explosion, there will be a place of confetti.

Even if the onlookers only listen to the sound, they can estimate that at least more than 100 spring thunders have exploded on the altar, although the altar occupies a very high position, and the people in the other stands below it cannot see the situation on the upper platform, but the beach is constantly windy, if there are confetti all over the ground on the altar, it will not be blown down.

And what's even more bizarre is that every time the spring thunder sounds, a shiny thing will be projected obliquely into the sky on the altar, which is almost the light emitted at the moment when the spring thunder explodes.

But...... Isn't this a spring thunder thrown into the sky to explode?

That's really ...... It's weird!

The fundamental reason why the onlookers felt strange was that they couldn't see what was happening on the altar, they could only hear the sound, and the elusive traces left in the sky after the explosion of something similar to spring thunder, and they couldn't guess what the sound was that made Haiyan shake, and what the original sound was.

The first warning period is very long, because the crew comes on board, not only people on board, but also several teams of horses. When watching several groups of horses galloping from the coast not far away, and very consciously divided into several groups to get on the boat, Mo Ye, who was standing on the observation deck, couldn't help but be stunned.

However, at this time, she couldn't find Ye Nonuo, and the crowd in the stands was fluctuating, and the few people who came together were so crowded that they didn't know where to stand. She couldn't find anyone to ask, and she didn't understand the point of letting her get on the boat. She only saw that with this scene, the spirits of everyone in the stands were excited to a new level, and then the deafening sound exploded overhead.
