Chapter 20: On the banks of the Tianfeng River

The Tianfeng River runs through the east and west, separating the north and south of the Tianfeng Continent, and the coastal water and soil are fertile, and the climate is pleasant, so several urban ports have been formed.

Because the river is meandering, the water flow is not turbulent, and the scenery on both sides is beautiful, so there are countless tourists from all over the country every year to visit here.

What came into being is that all kinds of boats of different sizes can be seen everywhere in the Tianfeng River, some can only accommodate three or five people, and some can carry hundreds of people, but no matter how big or small, there are some familiar allusions in the Tianfeng River as guides.

There are also many boats that play the piano and sing songs, many literati and scholars call friends and friends, swim together, and several people charter a small boat, which has a unique flavor from the upper reaches of the Tianfeng River.

On this day, a building ship that can carry more than 30 people came from the upstream, there were only a dozen guests on board, seven or eight of them were acquaintances, all of them were readers, and they often commented on the scenery along the way.

In addition, there was an elderly couple, who were very safe in the boat, just holding hands and quietly watching the scenery along the way, occasionally whispering a few words.

The last person was a young man, about twenty years old, his appearance was not too outstanding, his clothes were also very simple, the long sword at his waist was not very bright, he just stood on the bow of the ship every day and watched the ships coming and going, without saying a word, and his face sometimes showed a faint sense of loss.

This young man is Yi Cheng, it has been almost a year since the last time he returned to Qingshan Town, Yi Cheng came to Tianfeng River, ran around the surrounding cities for half a year, took the portrait of Ning Shuang Mingxin painted by Su Rumeng, asked around, did not find Mingxin, but heard some news in a small port called Zhantai.

A vendor in the port told Yi Cheng that he had seen the two people in the portrait a month ago, and there was a middle-aged man beside him, and they had eaten from their own stalls, because the two women were so beautiful, they were absolutely rare in this small port, so he remembered.

Yi Cheng said in his heart, "These are the three people he is looking for." ”

Under careful questioning, the man only knew that the three of them had a small building boat of ten people, but they didn't seem to be doing business, they should be touring by themselves, and there were many such people near the Tianfeng River, and they went downstream from Zhantai to Lu.

Yi Cheng was very happy to get the news, rewarded the vendor with a few taels of silver, and chased him down the river on this boat.

The speed of the boat he took was greater than that of the small boat that Yuan Hong and the three people took, and they rarely stopped along the coast, and now they have been on the road for two months, they should have caught up, but they are still nowhere to be seen, it is not that they landed along the way, and missed it.

Yi Cheng was thinking about it, and the boatman came over and asked: "Childe, the boat is about to dock, add some water and food, a few sons over there are going to visit here, so the boat will not leave until the morning after tomorrow, I wonder if Childe will also go to see." ”

Although Yi Cheng was anxious, he didn't know whether he ran in front of Yuan Hong or behind him now, so he was not in a hurry to hurry, he went to the neighborhood to have a look, and it was not bad to inquire about the news by the way.

He said, "Where is this?" ”

The boatman replied: "This place is called Wujiangtai, it is the place where the king of Chu Xiang was defeated in the previous dynasty and killed himself, the current emperor has built the "general's mound" here, there are many people who come here to visit, do you want to go and see it?" ”

When Yi Cheng heard this, he was stunned, he had been in Tianfeng River for more than half a year, and he had been busy looking for his sister's whereabouts, but he forgot to go to the place where his father died to worship, and he was a little vain.

So he said abruptly: "'General's Tomb', I should go and see it." So he got out of the boat and went to the place where the general's mound was.

Along the way, the tourists are like a scorching river, and the river is endless.

Yi Chengxing went to the vicinity and found that the general's mound was divided into two layers, the outer part was the 800 soldiers who died with King Xiang after the outskirts, and the inner enclosure was King Xiang and the eight generals who followed him to the back.

To be precise, the inner enclosure is the real general's mound, but the general tourists can only watch it from the periphery, and the inner enclosure is guarded by sergeants and cannot enter.

Yi Cheng came to worship his father, so he naturally wanted to enter the inner enclosure, and a few sergeants couldn't find him at all, so Yi Cheng found a secluded place and crossed the wall and entered the inner enclosure.

I saw that this is more quiet than the surrounding environment, Yi Cheng followed the terrain, came to a platform in the center, only to see a large eight small nine tombs on its upper branch, a high of more than ten zhang in the middle, covering an area of Xu, it is the tomb of King Xiang, only to see that its tombstone is engraved with 'the tomb of Xiang Wang Yu, the monarch of the Great Chu State', which is extremely eye-catching in the whole cemetery.

Yi Cheng has listened to the story of Xiang Yu's defeat countless times, and every link is familiar with it, for this Xiang Wang, the monarch to whom his father is loyal, Yi Cheng has no awe at all, and even has some vague resentment, if it weren't for his great joy and self-righteousness, he couldn't listen to his father's persuasion, maybe he is the one who rules the world now, and now he can only lie here, occupy this projectile land, and leave only hanging for future generations.

Yi Cheng's evaluation of King Xiang is: brave and unscrupulous, reckless, invincible general, and thin king.

Yi Cheng no longer looked at the tombstone of King Xiang, looked to both sides, and started at the tombstone of King Xiang, there were four tombs on the left and right, each of which was five or six zhang high, covering an area of more than ten zhang square, Yi Cheng saw that the first tombstone on the left was engraved with 'The tomb of Yi Anguo, the general of Great Chu'.

Yi Cheng ran to him, knelt on his knees with a pop, his eyes couldn't help but be a little confused, he kowtowed again and again, and gradually Yi Cheng's tears flowed down, he couldn't cry, and whimpered in his mouth: "Father, Cheng'er has come to see you, the child is not filial, he failed to take care of his mother, and his younger siblings were also snatched away, and now his whereabouts are unknown." I have killed my mother, and I have sworn that I will find my brother and sister and bring them to worship my father. One day, the child will avenge his father, and use his head to comfort his father's spirit in the sky. ”

After speaking, Yi Cheng bowed his head again.

But at this moment, Yi Cheng suddenly felt a palpitation, and before he could think about it, he hurriedly turned over and fell to the right side of Lu, but Yi Cheng still felt a hot pain coming from his left shoulder, Yi Cheng didn't care about the injury on his left shoulder, drew out his long sword to block it, and looked to the left.

I saw that in front of the third tomb on the left, an old man dressed in gray and with a somewhat rickety figure was looking at him, and there was no emotion in his eyes, neither frustration at the failure of the sneak attack, nor joy at Yi Cheng's injury.

Yi Cheng was shocked at this time, and said in horror in his heart, if his reaction was a little slower by half a minute, he was afraid that he would have already broken up at this time, what kind of person was this old man who fell to the ground, how could he be here, he and he had no grudges, why did he kill the killer when he saw himself, this person's martial arts are definitely the most powerful among the people he has ever seen, (except for his own master, because Yi Cheng can't feel a trace of true qi fluctuation from his master at all, in the words of the master, it should be back to basics, true qi can be sent and received at will, only a congenital master can reach the realm.) Although there is no congenital, it is definitely not a martial sect, it should be a martial king powerhouse. People who come are so unkind, and they don't look like people who are good at talking, how to get out today, Yi Cheng turned his brain and thought hard.
