In early autumn, the wind is already cool, but the power of the sun is no less powerful than that of midsummer.

On the winding and mighty Yellow River, a luxurious ship set off from Yongzhou, went upstream, and slowly drove towards Kaifeng.

On the deck of the big ship, there was a big umbrella, and Zhao Mingyue and Shi Jian sat and stood one by one, enjoying the soothing of the river breeze in the shade, which was very comfortable.

In front of them, there were two large barrels, filled with fine stones.

Ling Kun stood opposite them, his brows furrowed, his eyes focused, the long sword in his hand placed on his chest, Yan Ran was a warrior who could fight well.

The ship's sole owner was Zhao Mingyue, and Ling Kun was one of her many servants. The only difference is that he can spend most of his time with Zhao Mingyue.

However, at this moment, he would rather be with the boatmen than see the beautiful heroine.

Because Zhao Mingyue was trying to train his speed, all the mountains were smashing him with stones, one after another, one after another, bucket after bucket, even if it was a machine, she had to be consumed to death.

I really can't stand it, but I can't resist, otherwise lunch will be sunshine and whips.

You have to find a topic to talk about and rest for a while, otherwise you will die of exhaustion.

"Hey, I'm talking about this month, and I suddenly remembered a very serious question that I want to ask you." Ling Kun took advantage of Zhao Mingyue to change bullets...... No, said in the interval between changing stones.

"Bold, Ling Kun, you want to die, don't you? Can you call the name of your master? The sword shouted angrily.

"What's this? Isn't the name chosen by the master just to be called by people? Ling Kun retorted.

"You." The sword opened his mouth and stammered, and it took a long time before he said, "Then, that's not for you." ”

"I can't call it, and you can't call it, so isn't it in vain to be blind to such a good name? Don't you say, Mingyue? Ling Kun approached Zhao Mingyue with a hippie smile, actually thinking of hiding from the deadly sun under the umbrella.

Zhao Mingyue originally had a stiff face, but when she heard Ling Kun actually praise her name in this way, she couldn't help laughing, glanced at him and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"I suddenly thought, your surname is Zhao, your home is in Kaifeng, and the emperor is also surnamed Zhao, and he is also in Kaifeng, will you have anything to do with it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mingyue suddenly raised her head, stared at Ling Kun's face, looked at him with some surprise, and suddenly burst out laughing after a while.

"Of course it matters, we were still a family 500 years ago, if I hadn't been separated halfway, I would have to be a county lord or something." Zhao Mingyue said jokingly.

Ling Kun relieved and said, "I don't think it's possible, it's impossible for the women of the emperor's family to run around outside, and they also ran to the Liao Kingdom alone." But since I saw your luxurious ship, I have some doubts, such a big ship, not to mention how much it costs, only to say that such a long road from Yongzhou to Kaifeng, how much manpower and material resources have to be consumed, how can ordinary people do it? ”

"Oh, that's what you say." Zhao Mingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said proudly: "I built this ship, in fact, there are not many people at all, come, I'll take you down to have a look." ”

Ling Kun couldn't wait to go below to cool off for a while, so he hurriedly agreed, and followed Zhao Mingyue down the operation room.

Entering the inside, Ling Kun was shocked, the scene inside was completely different from his imagination. There were no boatmen, no oars, just a dozen little donkeys pulling the mill.

Yes, it's the little donkey that pulls the mill. Ling Kun observed carefully and immediately understood the trick.

Each donkey pulls a stone-mill-like winch, which drives the wheels on the outside to rotate, and the blades on the wheels row in the water, driving the big boat forward.

The few boatmen were only responsible for feeding the donkeys and steering the helm.

"You really invented this?" Ling Kun asked in surprise.

"Of course, don't you believe it?" Zhao Mingyue looked at Ling Kun, her eyes were misty, as if she was hurt by Ling Kun's doubts.

"Letter, letter, letter, Mingyue, you are amazing, good martial arts, high wisdom, and the key is that you are so beautiful, you are simply a lady of the sky."

"Of course...... No, what kind of proud girl, you still think I have something to do with the royal family? ”

The ancients were subtle, so Zhao Mingyue had never seen such naked flattery as Ling Kun, and she couldn't bear it for a while, and she almost leaked her mouth.

Ling Kun waved his hand and said: "No, no, we rely on our own strength, how can the babies in the emperor's greenhouse have such intelligence as Mingyue?" Ling Kun gave a thumbs up.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily, let's go, rest and then go back to practice."

"What? Still practicing? Ling Kun sighed in despair, it was useless to shoot the sycophants for a long time.

"Of course you have to practice, the world's martial arts, only fast is not broken, you have such a high internal strength, why can't you even pass a move under the hands of Baishan Shuangsha? It's because you're too slow. Zhao Mingyue taught.

A few days later, the ship arrived in Kaifeng, and Zhao Mingyue took everyone off the boat.

Li Feiteng, who had already hurried back to Kaifeng, came to greet Zhao Mingyue, he handed over a small box and said to Zhao Mingyue: "Master, everything has been arranged, this is the deed and key." ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded and said, "It's good, you take someone back first, I'll take Jian and Ling Kun to have a look." ”

Li Feiteng replied with a fist in his fist, and ordered the people on the ship to get off the ship and go back.

Zhao Mingyue opened the box and looked at the deed, handed it to the sword, and then got on the horse with the sword and Ling Kun, and walked along the streets of Tokyo.

Tokyo, as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is the absolute political, economic, and cultural center, and compared with Youzhou and Yongzhou, it is completely different. The pedestrians on the road, the elegance and confidence, the street buildings, the carved beams and paintings, all seem to be endowed with cultural connotations.

People in Tokyo should have a good life. Ling Kun thought so.

Winding into a wide alley, on both sides are high-gate compounds, obviously all of them are dignitaries, this should be the high-end residential community of the ancients.

Zhao Mingyue stopped in front of a courtyard gate, and the sword immediately took out the key from the box to open the door, and the three of them entered inside.

The yard is not big, but it is very elegant, spotless, Ling Kun likes this yard very much, and secretly thinks that if it is placed in Beijing, it will be worth at least a billion.

"You'll be living here from now on, how about it, right?" Zhao Mingyue said to Ling Kun.

"I live here? This is for me?" Ling Kun asked incredulously, wasn't he Zhao Mingyue's house slave, how could he live in such a high-level courtyard?

"Don't be too happy, if you live here, you have to obey my commands absolutely, and you can only obey my orders, understand?" Zhao Mingyue's eyes were sharp, and there was no room for resistance and doubt.

Ling Kun was stunned on the ground, always feeling that this kind of scene was somewhat familiar, and after a while, he suddenly realized, and asked, "Are you trying to support me?" ”
