Chapter 228: Painting Boat Parade
The boatman shouted, "Sail the boat," and the boat moved forward slowly, accelerating until it remained at a slightly faster pace than walking. The boat was very smooth, no different from that on flat ground. And the boatmen were hidden in their places, so that the riders could not see them, just as the boat was walking on its own.
It can be seen that the shipbuilding was carefully designed, and the shipwrights were specially trained. Not to mention how much it costs to spend the entire Gusutai, even this cruise ship alone, from design and manufacturing to boatman training, the cost is also amazing.
The inside of the boat is not only luxuriously decorated, but also has a lot of space, dozens of people go up, and it does not look crowded at all. The king, queen and concubine retinue each have their own positions, so they will not mess with the rules at all. The main cabin is large enough for rallying and entertaining, and there are several compartments for living and resting.
Fan Li said: "When the king is tired, he can go in and take a rest. ”
King Wu smiled: "I'm not tired, even if I'm tired, I don't want to rest, how can I see the scenery when I sleep." "Turning to Gou Yu and Xi Shi, "If the queen and lady are tired, they can go into the cabin to rest." ”
Gou Yu and Xi Shi were unwilling to rest, and King Wu said, "Okay, let's take a look at the scenery along the way." ”
Fan Li said: "To see the scenery, it is better to go to the outside deck, where there is no block, the view is wide, just to enjoy the beautiful scenery." ”
King Wu said, "Okay, let's go outside." ”
There is also a small square on the deck, and the seat of King Wu Gou Xi Shi has already been arranged, there is a table in front of him, and there is a pergola on the top.
King Wu led everyone to the deck, sat down, and some people offered tea, fruits, snacks and various exquisite snacks. Fan Li stood beside Xi Shi, Xiao Xia stood on Gou Yan's side, Zi Meiluo Jiang stood in his position, and the other palace maids stood in their positions.
Xi Shi made a gesture, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the cabin slowly sounded. , the music is melodious and broad, just right for the scene in front of you.
I don't know how much it will cost to get this kind of enjoyment!
King Wu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Young uncle, don't say that there are better exquisite views on the Gusu platform, just take a tour on this boat, and you are not allowed to make this trip." ”
Fan Li bowed down and said with a smile: "If you can win the favor of the king, the hard work of the minister in the past few years has not been in vain." ”
King Wu said: "The young man is a caring person, and it is really fortunate that the widow has the help of the young uncle." ”
Fan Li said: "The minister just did what a courtier should do. ”
The boat moved forward slowly, ripples on the surface of the river, and a gentle breeze blew in the face, bringing the fresh breath of the mountains. The weeping willows by the river are in rows, and the long willow threads hang down, swinging with the wind, soft and fluttering, and Ana.
A group of black ducks were swimming and playing on the river, and when they saw the big boat approaching, they flew up and landed on the river in the distance.
Suddenly, a large fish jumped out of the water, flipped several times in the sunlight, and then fell into the water with a "poof".
"Ahh What a big fish! The girls let out a scream, followed by admiration and giggles.
King Wu smiled: "Madam, do you like it?" ”
Xi Shi was playing with the prince's friend, and said with a smile: "Here and in the palace, it is a different scene, Xi Shi likes it very much." ”
Fan Li said to Gou Yu: "Queen, is it fun here?" ”
Gou Yu was very happy, although she was the queen, but she had never been on a boat like this, and Fan Li was standing beside her, less than three feet away, and her heart was very ironing, and his son Prince You was loved by Xi Shi, and it seemed that all the hard work he had suffered before had been compensated. His face flushed, and he said with a smile: "With such a beautiful scenery and Uncle Fan by your side, can Gou Yu not be happy?" ”
This is a joke, although it is a little frivolous, but Gou Yu said it appropriately, but it is just right for the scene in front of him, but it has an unexpected effect.
King Wu laughed and said: "The queen said well, at this moment, the scenery is beautiful and the people are also beautiful, how can it not make people feel refreshed!" ”
Fan Li felt like he had been poked with a stick in his heart, and said secretly: "Gou Yu, you are crazy!" Saying such things is the rhythm of death! Hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said with a smile: "To be favored by the king and queen, Fan Li is really fortunate to have three lives!" ”
Xi Shi is an insider, and she knows everything that happens in the palace, and of course she also knows the secret affairs of Fan Li and Gou Yu. Listening to Gou Yu's words, I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart. But when I thought of it, Fan Li had been working hard for himself for more than ten years, and he was singing with King Wu night and night, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry and ashamed in his heart.
With a shy face, he said to King Wu: "King, the concubine heard that this Gusutai was handled by Brother Fan Li, especially when he went to find Shenmu, he almost lost his life. It can be said that without Brother Fan Li, you can't enjoy today's beautiful scenery, isn't it, king? ”
King Wu said: "Madame is right, without the young uncle, not only can you not enjoy today's beautiful scenery, but even the widow and the lady do not have this good relationship haha......"
Xi Shi was shy: "The king makes fun of his concubines, don't come!" ”
Gou Yu said, "Uncle, tell us about your experience of finding the Divine Tree." ”
King Wu said: "Okay, young uncle, let's talk about it, enjoy this beautiful scenery, plus your adventure, just to add to the fun." ”
Fan Li glanced at Zimei, it was an adventure that he and Zimei completed together, without Zimei's help, he probably wouldn't be able to complete the task himself. But everyone in the world didn't know that there was also a thousand-year-old demon immortal involved in this matter.
Zimei happened to look at it too, nodded and smiled slightly, meaning to say, you can talk about it. So Fan Li omitted Zimei's story in the telling. When talking about the countless poisonous snakes in the Shenmu Forest, there was no sound in the whole field, and everyone was frightened by the terrifying sight, and when it was said that he was chased by the poisonous snake and almost died, the girls couldn't help but let out a scream. When it was said that the fire burned countless poisonous snakes to death, the audience was amazed.
Fan Li said: "King, the minister will not die, all thanks to God's blessing, and it is also the shadow of the king Hongfu Qitian, the minister." ”
King Wu said: "Young Uncle has the ability and courage, and there is no second person in the Wu Dynasty who can accomplish this." The widow will not live up to the young uncle! ”
Fan Li bowed and saluted: "Thank you for the king's favor, Fan Li will do things for the king, and he will never give up." Everyone, please see, Gusutai is getting closer and closer to us, is it different from just now? ”
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, Gusutai was even taller and more majestic than before, reaching into the clouds, and the magnificent momentum gradually revealed as the distance narrowed. King Wu and Gou Xi Shi couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Fan Li said: "After a while, our boat will circle around Gusutai for a week, so that we can see it in its entirety." Then we can go on stage and watch. ”
King Wu said: "It is the glory of Wu to be able to build such a high platform, and it is worth it no matter how big the price is!" ”
