Chapter 26: There Are Ghosts on the River

"Can you help me?"

Li Chengqian looked at Ye Huan eagerly, waiting for his reply.

Ye Huan looked at his eyes, and from the bottom of his eyes, he could see that he was very serious, and Ye Huan nodded his forehead with his finger.

"If I promise you, I mean if, then how can I help you?"

"And are you so sure I can help you?" Ye Huan said equally cautiously, and at the same time he also wanted to see what Li Chengqian's reaction was.

"Yes!" He said it almost without thinking.

"In the future, when I ascend the throne, I need you to assist me, just like Cheng Chuhei." Li Chengqian was full of energy, "I have to do something, I can't let my father arrange everything for me." ”

"You're the first talent I've ever selected!"

"Is that so?" Ye Huan smiled and shook his head.

"Can you help me?" Li Chengqian invited Ye Huan again.

Ye Huan's heart moved, and he asked Li Chengqian: "Then what do you want your future Tang Dynasty to look like?" ”

He thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "The country is unprecedentedly strong, and all nations are coming; The territory is flat in the sea, and the wind and rain are smooth; The people live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing. ”

Ye Huan scratched his head, looked at Li Chengqian and quipped, "Eh, is it a little too idealistic?" ”

"You told me to say it, of course I said my ideal!" Cheng Qian asked again, and there was some implication in his words to force Ye Huan to make a choice, "Do you agree?" ”

"Well, then I'll reluctantly promise you!"

After all, they were young people, and they were still in a heavy mood a moment ago, and at this time the two of them walked towards the army with fun.

……

Lanzhou City at night, quietly, out of nowhere came the cry of jackdaws, startling the wild birds resting in the barren grass outside the city.

On top of the tall walls of Lanzhou City, torches crackled and burned, illuminating the surrounding places.

Wang Fengmao, dressed in a leather robe, climbed the tower panting, and a small servant carrying a candle and lantern beside him lit the way ahead.

When he came to the main tower, he saw a man standing in the middle of the tower, and in a hurry, he ran over and fell to the ground.

"The envoy came in person, could it be that he had something important to advise?" Wang Fengmao's tone was quite humble.

Look at the person standing again, he is dressed in a black coat with a hooded robe, and the whole person is in the dark, and he can't see his figure or appearance clearly. It's just that the edge of the black robe is mixed with earthy yellow silk threads, indicating this person's status.

Clan Envoy!

"Have you made a mistake in your recent actions? Can it be detected? There was a magnetic voice from under the black robe, which only a middle-aged man could have.

"Rest assured, messenger, that the small things you have given me have been done, and no one notices in the process." Wang Fengmao said with great certainty, and almost patted his chest to reassure.

"It's just ......," he hesitated.

"We need to be careful everywhere, even if it is a small matter, we can't be negligent, what do you have to do quickly!" The middle-aged man left behind by the black urged, he had to guard against it, the stakes were very high, and he couldn't be negligent in any place.

"Recently, a genius has suddenly appeared, who is said to be able to make refined salt, and has enough medical skills to amaze Wu Yadu!" Wang Fengmao said carefully, and added fuel and vinegar, "Today he also found trouble with the villain, and almost killed the villain!" ”

"Wizards?"

"Heh, Wizard." The middle-aged man in the black robe seems to be numb to these two words, who is not a genius these days? They grabbed a lot of them, "The so-called wizards are just a little smarter than the mediocre." ”

The real wizard is outstanding in a group of people, and the dazzle of that kind of person is irresistible, and the middle-aged man has a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, for example, he has seen one.

Compared to that one, these so-called geniuses are like chickens in a flock of chickens, and that person is a crane!

"It's just a mere medical skill, and we don't value it, but that salt-making technique is a bit interesting," the black-robed middle-aged man asked Wang Fengmao, "What's that person's name?" ”

"Ye Huan!"

"Since he threatens you, kill him." The black-robed middle-aged man's tone turned cold in vain.

"But the messenger, Ye Huan and the crown prince Li Chengqian, King Pu, and Cheng Chuhei, the son of the Demon King of the Mixed World, are extremely exhausted, and it is difficult to start!"

"These people are in the way." The black-robed middle-aged man exhaled a white breath, "If I didn't want to tear my face so early, startle the snake, and let our plan fail, I would have killed them all together!" ”

"Leave this matter to me, do your own thing with peace of mind, go!"

As soon as the black-robed man raised his hand, Wang Fengmao bowed again and turned to leave.

Cuckoo!

At this moment, a black-feathered carrier pigeon flew into the city tower, and the black-robed man grabbed the carrier pigeon, took down the note, and browsed it.

There are only a few words written on it: It's time to act!

After browsing, the middle-aged man in the black robe flicked his fingers, and the confetti immediately turned into powder. Then he walked out of the tower, looked to the south, and muttered to himself.

"Is this the beginning?"

The winter of the Tang Dynasty was very cold, and the Yellow River, as the mother river, had already frozen a thick layer of ice on the river at this time. The Yangtze River, because of its proximity to the equator, has an ice cap on the river, but it is not thick, and large ships can still be driven on the river.

It was also a night as dark as ink, and a mist suddenly drifted on the river.

Wu Laohan, a fisherman who had worked hard all day, didn't catch anything in this ghost weather.

He dragged his tired body and rocked his oars slowly towards the small fishing village by the river, and he looked around, and there was no fishing fire on the wide river except for him.

In the lush mountains on both sides of the river, there was a sudden high-pitched and loud ape cry, startling a group of birds.

In the dark night, Wu Laohan suddenly saw a cluster of green flames, appearing out of thin air in the dense fog on the river. Hazy, unable to see far and near, unable to measure the size.

He wiped his eyes, and when he looked more closely, he saw a thick fog rushing in, and he hurriedly swung the hull, but the fog came so quickly that it enveloped him and the boat in an instant.

A chill came to his face, making his legs and stomach tremble a little: "Could it be that he touched the Dragon King?" ”

Wu Laohan hurriedly shrank back, but after a long time, nothing happened.

He tentatively stood up, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, when suddenly there was a creaking sound on the silent river, like a tooth-aching sound made by the friction of wood and something.

He slowly moved his gaze over, and in the next second, a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his heart trembled terribly!

It was a ship as huge as a mountain, and in comparison, Wu Laohan's ship was like a leaf in the sea. Strangely, the ship seems to have come out of the bottom of the river, and the hull is covered with fishy mud and damp moss, and there are hermitage shellfish clinging to the sides of the hull.

The ship was in a tatters, and a huge hole had penetrated the sides of the hull, and even the mast had broken off and collapsed on the deck.

"Is this a disaster?" Old man Wu looked at it boldly.

Wu Laohan had a lot of guesses in his heart, and he continued to observe, but the next moment, he found something that made him creepy.

The ship has a deep draft!

It's strange here, obviously the hull is empty, and there is no large cargo on the deck, why is the draft still so deep? Or can it be said that this is simply a wrecked ship, why can it still float on the river?

Strange things constantly hit Wu Laohan's courage, and he wanted to leave!

Burst!

But just as he was paddling and about to leave, the strange green flames he had just seen suddenly burst into flames from the cabin!

Then there was a rumbling sound, incomparably huge, like a volcano about to erupt!

The surface of the river began to bubble, as if it was boiling, and it was no longer calm!

Wu Laohan hurriedly held the side of the boat and looked under the river, and was suddenly so frightened that his face was bloodless!

He saw a blood-red pupil bigger than his boat staring at him indifferently!
