Chapter 625: Shenglong Cruise
"Sister, I want that." Xiao Zheng Hao pointed to the milky white square cake in a wooden box and said.
"You," Zheng Yu scratched his brother's little nose and smiled helplessly, "I really can't help you." Chong the stall owner said: "Come to two ......" glanced at Yang Muyun, and changed his words: "Come on four pieces of coconut cake." β
....
"Come, try it," Zheng Yu handed a square cake to Yang Muyun, "This is our Dayue's specialty coconut cake, you can't eat it in Daming." β
Looking at the milky white square cake overflowing with frankincense, Yang Muyun took it and took a bite, "Hmm, it's so sweet!" "It tastes glutinous and soft, and a very special sweet aroma goes straight to the end of the nose.
The taste is very similar to Mongolian milk dumplings, but it is different when you taste it.
"What kind of milk is this made of," Yang Muyun asked casually.
"Coconut milk." Zheng Yu blinked and smiled.
"Coconut milk" Yang Muyun was stunned, "What is that, what does it look like?" β
"It grew round and hung like a ball on a tree."
"The ball hanging on the tree...... Yang Muyun suddenly remembered the tree that stood tall like an umbrella when he first landed on the coast of Annan and its huge blades that spread out in all directions, under the leaves
It is a round blue-green fruit gathered together, and Ruan Ah Hung told him that this is a coconut tree, and the fruit under the leaves is called coconut fruit. This can't be milk squeezed out of that thing, right?
Looking at his stunned appearance, Zheng Yu felt a burst of amusement, "I'll take you to see it when I have a chance." "I wrapped a few other preserved fruits. Only then did he and Yang Muyun leave here with Xiao Zheng Hao.
"Is this shredded coconut cake delicious?"
"It's delicious."
"If you like it, I'll buy it for you every day!" Zheng Yu smiled, and smiled sweetly.
Yang Muyun was stunned.
"Sister, and me," Xiao Zheng Hao said, "You have to buy it for me every day." β
"Got it," Zheng Yu touched his head, "you're naughty." β
....
"Stopβ" There was a cry of thunder ahead, and the people dodged and dodged, and a man wearing a bamboo hat and a short kudzu galloped towards them. Behind him, a group of Annan officers and soldiers brandished swords and spears and shouted after him.
"Quick, intercept that Ming spy." An Annan soldier shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, several Annan officers and soldiers rushed out of the alley in front of him and stopped the man.
The man gritted his teeth, pulled out a snowy single knife from behind him, and slashed at the officers and soldiers of Annan.
"Whenβ" An Annan officer and soldier stabbed him hard, and his body retreated again and again.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers of Annan in the back chased after him and surrounded the man.
"Give it to me, catch it alive." An Annan general waved his hand, and his soldiers shouted and swarmed up.
This man's kung fu is not weak, he is outnumbered, and after a few moves, he injured two Annan officers and soldiers in a row. He was also stabbed in the arm and calf, but he still gritted his teeth and fought fiercely.
"Whew-" He stumbled in a long bloody wound on his back, barely falling.
Yang Muyun couldn't bear to watch from the side, clenched his fists and was about to step forward, but was pulled by a soft slender hand.
"If you do, you're going to get in big trouble." Zheng Yu admonished.
Yang Muyun frowned, and his clenched fist loosened.
The man gradually lost his opponent, and with a sound of "Qiang-" the knife in his hand was knocked away by a powerful Annan officer and soldier, and he could no longer hold it and fell to the ground.
The officers and soldiers of Annan were about to rush forward when suddenly a flatbed truck rushed over, piled with sacks.
"Damn, you're blind," the Annan general scolded, "Where to push?" Before the words fell, the white shadow shook in the ground, and countless powders rushed into the eyes, nose, and mouth, and they were suffocated for a while, followed by severe pain in both eyes, like ten thousand steel needles piercing at the same time.
Lime powder was everywhere around, and the rest of the Annan officers and soldiers didn't care about arresting people, and raised their knives and waved them indiscriminately.
Yang Muyun saw it clearly, and a few people rushed out from under the sack of the flatbed truck, pulled up the man, and rushed towards the crowded place, and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Chasing ......" As soon as General Annan spewed out a word, his throat was choked again, and he coughed again and again.
The officers and soldiers of Annan didn't care about wiping the lime dust on their faces, and rushed over with swords and spears.
An old man who was eating rice noodles at the rice noodle stall next to him looked at it and shook his head, "In broad daylight, so many people let the Ming people run away, it's really ......" sighed, and the following words were not spoken.
"I heard that the Ming army is heading south," said a diner at the rice noodle stand, "or why are the Ming people in Tokyo so fierce?" β
"Isn't Mingren going to conquer Luchuan?" Another diner asked.
"Who knows?" The previous diner said: "In the eyes of the Ming people, Da Yue and Lu Chuan are both traitors, and it is not certain who is really going to conquer them!" β
"Keep your voice quiet, and beware of being heard."
"There's a lot of talk in the city," said the former diner, nonchalantly, "and a lot of people say that the army of men is actually coming in at a great distance." β
"No wonder some of the rich people in the city have moved out!" Another diner said, "Why don't we go back and clean up?" β
"You want to run too?" The diner looked at him and said, "Where can I run?" It's better to save it, you and I have a cheap life, what are you afraid of? Besides, we haven't been subjects of the Ming Dynasty, isn't Tokyo the Dongguan City of the Ming Dynasty's political envoys? For us poor people, what is the difference between being a subject of the Ming Dynasty or a citizen of Dayue? β
"That's what you're saying," another diner laughed, "Who's coming, don't we have to make a living?" β
"Hurry up and eat, we have to hurry back to the dock to carry the goods after eating!"
....
Zheng Yu listened to the discussion of these diners, and sighed in his heart, for the poor people, the change of the country is just a change of people to rule them, but it is not affected in the slightest for their lives, they don't care that the Ming army will fight at all.
"Hey-" She saw Yang Muyun squinting and didn't know what she was looking at, and called out.
"Oh......" Yang Muyun retracted his gaze.
"What are you looking at?" Zheng Yu asked.
"No, nothing." Yang Muyun replied vaguely. He had just vaguely seen the people who had fled and seemed to have gotten into the jewelry shop that Zheng Yu had patronized.
"Sister, Brother Mu Yun......" At this time, Xiao Zheng Hao jumped and ran over.
"You're running around again, aren't you?" Zheng Yuban raised his pretty face and taught him: "It's so messy now, be careful that someone has arrested you." β
"I'm not afraid," Xiao Zheng Hao's chin raised, and his eyes flashed a few times: "Sister and Brother Mu Yun are so capable, they won't let others arrest me." β
"How do you know he's got a lot of talent?" Zheng Yu couldn't help but glance at Yang Muyun.
"Sister said that I want to find a man who is more capable than myself," Xiao Zheng Hao said: "Sister likes Brother Mu Yun so much, then his ability must be greater than yours." β
"You...... You little devil, that's what you say. Zheng Yu's pretty face turned red.
"Hehe, Sister is shy." Xiao Zheng Hao clapped his hands and smiled.
"Tell me if I can beat you!" Zheng Yu raised his hand to scare him.
Xiao Zheng Hao hurriedly hid behind Yang Muyun, poked out a small head and made a grimace at his sister.
"Okay, don't tease your sister," Yang Muyun took Xiao Zheng Hao's hand and said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to get out!" β
"If I tell A-Niang, she won't want to come out." Xiao Zheng Hao said unconvinced.
"This sister and brother ......," Yang Muyun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"By the way, Mu Yun," Zheng Yufang heard the two diners who were eating rice noodles mention the dock and said to him, "Shall we go on a boat?" β
"By boat, where to take the boat?" Yang Muyun asked.
"On the Thang Long River!" Zheng Yu smiled: "It's just outside the city, not far from here." β
Before Yang Muyun could speak, he heard Xiao Zheng Hao clapping his hands and shouting, "Okay, go to the boat, Ah Hao also wants to take the boat." β
"Then you have to be obedient," Zheng Yu glared at him, "If you dare to run around again, I will throw you into the river." β
A fierce remark frightened Xiao Zheng Hao's neck.
ββββββββββββ
The Shoryong River flows from the north of Tokyo Castle and flows down the southeast of Tokyo Castle, and the river is brick-red in color, so it was later called the Red River. The name Thang Long River comes from the original name of Tokyo Castle hundreds of years ago, Thang Long Castle, and although Thang Long Castle is now renamed Tokyo, the name Thang Long River continued until it was changed to Red River hundreds of years later.
The Shang Long River Pier is located at the White Horse Temple in the east of the city, that is, at the mouth of the moat, and there are many ships coming and going, and the big ships from the sea go up the river, and the cargo ships from the upstream go down the river, all of which are unloaded at the pier outside Tokyo.
In addition to cargo ships, there are also some pleasure boats here, which are specially used by the dignitaries of the city to tour along the river.
In Yang Muyun's view, these cruise ships are similar to the painting boats on the Qinhuai River in the southern capital, but they are not as exquisite as those painting boats.
The three of them arrived a little late, and there was only one boat left on the docks. Zheng Yu was about to lead the two of them to the boat with great interest, but was stopped by the boat owner.
"I'm sorry," the boat owner said with a smiling face: "The villain's boat is wrapped, and he can't carry others anymore, so I'm sorry ......."
"Do you look down on people?" Zheng Yuxiu raised her eyebrows and said with a displeased face: "I'll give you twice the fare, you just have to drive the boat." β
"Even if you give me three times the fare, I won't dare to charge it!" The boat owner smiled bitterly and said, "I can't afford to offend that person, the girl might as well wait, maybe there will be a boat back." β
"There is only one boat for you here, I can't wait for another boat," Zheng Yu said angrily: "Who is the one who chartered your boat, is it very big?" β

"Miss," Yang Muyun persuaded, "Since today is unfortunate, then let's come another day." β
"No," Zheng Yu also lost his temper, "I'm sitting on this boat today." β
"The girl doesn't know, it's the son of the Marquis of Tingshang, Ding Yuding, who chartered the villain's boat." The shipowner said.
"Who am I," Zheng Yu sneered, "It turns out that the surname is Ding, hey, do you know who I am?" My father is the county marquis who led the army to conquer the south. β
"It turned out to be the young lady of Hou Ye's family, disrespectful and disrespectful," the boat owner said again and again: "Hou Ye Zheng's name is like thunder, and it is an honor for the villain to meet Miss Zheng, but the villain's boat has been wrapped up by Ding Gongzi, and the villain Ding Hou Ye can't afford to provoke it!" β
