Chapter XVII: Barracks

The hull of the ship staggered into the mouth of the Yuxi River, and the Nanliang ships behind finally did not pursue it again, and all the soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief. The ship was already riddled with lead-filled iron balls, and all the soldiers were busy going down to the cabin to fill the holes.

Su Er and Liao Jiajia hid in the cabin, although they were not hit by the iron ball, Rao was also scared. Originally, the boat swayed on the river, and was smashed by an iron ball, and it swayed non-stop, coupled with the constant shouting and killing outside, how could these two girls who had never experienced a fight bear it? After Duan Zhong entered the cabin, he saw the two of them huddled in the corner and shivering, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort and comfort them for a while. However, Duan Chong's blood-covered appearance frightened Su'er and Liao Jiajia, and they thought that he had some kind of injury, until Duan Chong took off his shirt and stood in the cold wind with chills to let the two girls check that there were no injuries, and then he was let go. Of course, Su'er even had a plan to ask Duan Chong to put his pants together in addition to carefully inspecting them, but in the end she gave up, which made Duan Chong breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Luzhou Water Division were finally belated. Wang Xiaoshan walked into the cabin and asked Duan to change ships. Considering that there were many dead soldiers on this ship, and that it was full of holes, the scene was really a little terrifying, so he helped the two girls to change to another smaller ship. And Wang Xiaoshan apologized again and again, saying that it was a major mistake to have such a dangerous situation. Duan Chong can't blame this Northern Liang, after all, the Chizhou Navy of Southern Liang is coming at him, and there are such heavy casualties, Duan Chong can't escape the blame. However, fortunately, the losses of the Nanliang side were also very serious, under the collision of the ships and the overturning of Duan Zhong and Zongzi, one of the ships blocking the mouth of the Yuxi River had been knocked and sunk to the bottom of the river, and the losses on the other two ships were also very serious. In a sense, if there is no Duan Zhong and Zongzi to exert their might, I am afraid that the Beiliang soldiers of this ship will have to explain here.

After changing the ship, Duan Chong washed his body with clean water, and changed into a military uniform of Beiliang, which looked quite majestic and heroic, which was very different from the previous bookish anger, which made Su'er and Liao Jiajia look amazed. However, after a fierce battle, everyone's spirit and pressure finally relaxed, followed by extreme fatigue. After settling Su'er and Liao Jiajia, Duan Chong directly wrapped a quilt and found a place to sleep. After some tension and excitement, recalling the bloody process of the battle, Duan Chong found that he couldn't stand it, and he was still so murderous and cruel in his heart. When I was so excited, I couldn't sleep.

This made Duan Chong suddenly think of the old ancestor in his family, which was also what his master Duan Zhengzheng had always warned him, the swordsmanship that Duan Chong learned was Duan Zhengzheng's swordsmanship, and Duan Zhengzheng's swordsmanship was the swordsmanship of killing. This kind of swordsmanship, in addition to killing, is to be killed, but unfortunately, Duan Zhong has been in a state of being killed before, so the power of this murderous swordsmanship has not been brought into play. And once it is brought into play, it will be difficult to contain this evil spirit. This is also why when he first went to Cangshan, Duan Zhengzheng let Zongzi and Duan Zhong read Buddhist scriptures for so long.

Zongzi slowly walked to Duan Chong's side, put his hands on Duan Chong's shoulders, and suddenly an extremely comfortable warm current entered Duan Zhong's body. But he heard Zongzi sigh and said: "Kill people, just kill one at a time." Kill too much, it's not good. Duan nodded his head, knowing that Zongzi was reminding himself. After all, the swordsmans of the two are out of the same family, and Zongzi has followed Duan Zhengjing for so long, and he always has some experience in controlling this swordsmanship full of evil spirits. "I'll pay attention to it later."

Zongzi looked at Duan Zhong and sighed again: "How long have you not read Buddhist scriptures?" ”

Duan Zhong was stunned for a moment, pinched his fingers and counted, it seemed that he had come down from Diancang Mountain, and since he was nine years old, he basically never touched the Buddhist scriptures again. So I had to smile helplessly at the zongzi and shake my head again. Zongzi looked at Duan Zhong with a serious face, put his hand into his arms, took out a booklet, and handed it over: "Read an hour before going to bed every night!" ”

Duan Zhong took the booklet and looked at it, and his face was suddenly full of black lines: "Vedic Sutra"? Duan Zhong indicates that the pressure is very high.....

The boat rippled, all the way upstream, but the speed was very slow. However, the boat is rocking, which is very suitable for sleeping. So Su Er and Liao Jiajia naturally slept groggily and never woke up. As for Duan Chong, he was curled up in the corner with an oil lamp in one hand and the "Veda Sutra" in the other hand to study hard. This made Duan Zhong almost have an illusion: Are you the master or am I the master?

However, in view of the fact that it is not very difficult for Zongzi to beat himself up, Duan Zhong can only obediently hold his tail and behave. Since you can't sleep, it seems that it's good to recite Buddhist scriptures......

Wang Xiaoshan didn't come in to disturb himself again this night, and everything calmed down after entering the Yuxi River. And Liao Jiajia and Su'er slept until dawn before waking up leisurely. And Wang Xiaoshan finally knocked on the door of the cabin: "Your Highness, we have entered Chaohu Lake, and we will be able to reach the Luzhou camp in half an hour." It's a nice day, so why not go above deck and take a look at the scenery. The scenery of the north and south of the Yangtze River is very different. ”

Duan nodded his head, since he was born, he had been staying in the south and had never crossed the Yangtze River. And today is the fifth day of the first month of March, which can be regarded as the edge of early spring, although the weather is still a little cool. After a night in the cabin, I always have to go out to breathe. He immediately nodded, and called Su'er and Liao Jiajia to go out of the cabin and go to the deck together.

As soon as I stepped onto the deck, my eyes suddenly opened up. The endless lake suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the blue light was rippling, the water was thousands of miles, and the eyes were full of spring. From time to time, there are hills on the surface of the lake, a piece of blue, and the road above Duan Zhong feels that he has been in the dark, and the day is dormant, and now he is finally back to normal, and can breathe in the fresh air of the day. Such a lake suddenly reminded Duan of the Erhai Lake next to his hometown, and the snow-white Cangshan Mountain behind the Erhai Lake. Duan Chong's nose suddenly soured, and suddenly there was an extremely strong sense of homesickness, thinking about himself behind the scenes, as well as the emperor Laozi, thinking about his master, and his brother, and everything in Dali. Duan Zhong suddenly found that he was an unscrupulous man, he sneaked out alone, he didn't go back for a whole year, and he won't go back in a short time, and during this time, he didn't even write a decent letter to his family, which was really a bit too ...... It's too much. Although to some extent, Duan Chong's thinking does not belong to this world, so for the biological father and mother of this world, there is always a layer of diaphragm in the middle that cannot be pierced, but after all, the blood relationship is here, which is evidence that blood is thicker than water that can never be erased.

Duan Zhong touched his nose, looked at the scenery in front of him, and suddenly a poem came out of his mouth: "The spring breeze is on the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me." This poem is naturally copied from the paragraph, and it is copied from the masterpiece of the famous poet and politician Wang Anshi, but it is copied very appropriately, and it comes from the heart, so it is extremely touching. Su Er squeezed Duan Chong's hand and smiled, "Homesick? Duan Zhong let out an "um" and nodded. Wang Xiaoshan on the side walked up and said with a smile: "I have long heard that His Royal Highness is amazingly talented, although I am a rough person, I can't hear the reason in this poem, but from the perspective of feelings alone, it is also extremely touching." ”

Duan Zhong smiled: "You are much more comfortable than many so-called literati and ink writers. ”

"Your Highness smiled, this literati and ink artist are not used to pat sycophants."

Duan Zhong smiled and didn't speak, holding Su'er with one hand and Liao Jiajia with the other, he leaned on the railing and looked at the water feature. Although the water breeze was a little chilly, everyone wore extremely thick clothes, and they were not afraid. Su Er and Liao Jiajia The two girls blushed slightly, and let Duan Zhong hold their little hands, so they stood quietly, leaning, and enjoying. Perhaps at this moment, everyone has such a thought in their hearts: how good it would be if time could freeze.

The water rippled, the bow of the boat broke through the calm lake and slowly slid forward, Duan Zhong gently stopped Su'er and Liao Jiajia's waists, these two girls did not resist, but complied with a little twist, which made Duan Chong secretly refreshed. At this moment, Wang Xiaoshan on the side walked over very unexpectedly to break this harmonious scene: "Your Highness, further ahead is the Luzhou camp, at most it will be half an hour to arrive, Your Highness can prepare." ”

Duan Zhong sighed, let go of his hands that were eating tofu, and looked forward, only to see that there were indeed many ships on the water in the distance, although the distance was quite far and it was a little unclear, but it was certain that the hulls of these ships were extremely huge. There are also many ships cruising on the lake, and military training is underway. Looking around, Duan Zhong can see more than ten large ships, and I am afraid that there are not to mention those who stay in the port, so it seems that there are thirty or forty large ships in this Luzhou Navy Division alone, which is an extremely terrifying force. And with such a scale, I am afraid that Nanliang will be able to reach the scale of Yangzhou Naval Division defending Gyeonggi. And this Luzhou Naval Division is not the strongest fleet in Northern Liang.

It can be seen that the strong military strength of the Northern Liang is indeed true. Duan Zhong touched his nose, and he was finally about to land. He turned his head and said to Zongzi: "Copy guy, get ready to go ashore!" ”

Zongzi was stunned: "Copy guy!" ”

"Stupid, just pack up!"

"Oh......"
