July 12, Surabaya Ferry.

Since early this morning, the civilian boats and fishing boats moored here have been driven to the surrounding waters, and only a two-story boat with a yellow festival flag is leaning against the ferry, and dozens of craftsmen are doing final safety checks inside and outside the boat.

Tuoba Shen and King Rencheng took the same car, and after getting off outside the ferry, they invited the officials to hear the news. After deciding to go directly to Huaiyin from Surabaya the day before yesterday, the king of Rencheng sent people to Jindu and ordered the officials of Tianjin to collect the details of the boats and boats along the way and the water conditions.

"How about urging the governor the day before yesterday?"

"The details have been obtained, and the subordinates have drawn a map of the islands, reefs, and reeds along the way, and recruited more than a dozen local fishermen who have been going to and from Surabaya for many years. Now the water is in full bloom, if you ride the torrent, you can reach Huaishui in just one day and one night. ”

"Well, very good!" King Ren Cheng nodded and praised: "You have done a good job in this matter, needless to say, the reward will be promoted." Are the fishermen you cite reliable? If there are spies of the Southern Dynasties lurking in it, you should also be seated as a lifter. ”

"Please rest assured that these fishermen are only more than 20 years old, and they are all born before and after the naturalization of Xuzhou, and their families and clans have been registered, so they only need to send someone to supervise them!"

"Okay, Lone will send Yin Changshi to go with you. You can tell the fishermen that you will be rewarded for this matter. King Ren Cheng said, pointing to the long history that came with him.

And Ren Chengwang, Li Biao and others waited at the ferry for about a quarter of an hour, and the craftsmen who inspected the building ship came out one after another, and the craftsman led by the master reported that the building ship was safe, and Tuoba Shencai boarded the ship with Li Biao, Yu Zhong, Zheng Daozhao and others.

Of course, the 300 cavalry who protected Tuoba Shen all the way from the capital were all fully armed and continued to follow to the Southern Dynasty. With 300 people, it is impossible for the Southern Dynasty to agree. The Southern Dynasty garrisoned hundreds of thousands of troops from Jianghuai in the east to Liangyi in the west, but it was not to let the 300 enemy troops fully armed penetrate into the heartland. Compared with the defenders of the Southern Dynasty, three hundred people can only be regarded as a drop in the barrel, but if you are in Jiankang City, if you are lucky, even Jiankang Palace may be able to enter it.

After discussing with King Rencheng, Yu Zhong and others, it was finally decided to take only 30 people across the river, and only carry basic swords and other blades. The reason why it was chosen this way was just in case. After all, it is deep into the territory of the enemy's country, and if you are more careful, there may be unexpected benefits when things come to an end.

And thirty people can be said to be stuck at the point of the Southern Dynasty. Thirty people said that it was not too much, and it was not much less. As long as you don't go to a place that is too chaotic, it is enough to protect the security, and it will not cause tension in the Southern Dynasties.

It's not that Lou Chuan Tuoba Shen has never sat down, but in the past, they were all in the pond and lake where the water is not rippling in the royal garden, and it is not as good as the current environment in Surabaya, so not long after the Lou Boat entered the river, it took Tuoba Shen and Li Biao and others to get used to it. In his previous life, Tuoba Shen and his friends participated in a three-day trip to the Yangtze River, and this kind of wooden boat, which is only 30 meters in front and back, is simply incomparable with a steel giant ship.

。。。。。。。

Southern Qi and Northern Yanzhou Prefecture govern Huaiyin, Huaishui Ferry.

Pei Zhaoming, the new Huangmen squire, and Zhang Mingbao, the official of the Northern Yanzhou Zhizhong, stood on the watchtower by the ferry, looking into the middle of the Huai Shui. Today, the sky is clear on both sides of the Huai River, and the wind and waves on the Huai River are not small, and the small boats that usually haunt the Huai River are not seen today. Occasionally, however, a few boats cruised back and forth in the Huai Shui.

"According to what Beiyu said, Yu Hongzi should be in Huaiyin today. It is not yet time, and there is no captive boat yet. It's better to go back to the city first, and it's only two or three miles away from here. Zhang Mingbao finished the tea in one go, and sprinkled a few white seeds in his hand into the chessboard.

Pei Zhaoming turned around and said with a smile: "Now that the heat is getting worse, although Huaiyin is backed by Huaishui, is it more comfortable than Jiankang?" Pei has lived in Jiankang for a long time, it is difficult to withstand the heat, yesterday came here, suddenly saw such a good place, why bother. Moreover, Pei came here to meet the northern envoy. If you can't bear it just because you sit for a few hours, isn't it slow to slacken your life? If Zhang Jun wants to go back to the city, he can go by himself, Pei can do it here. ”

"Pei Gong is patient, but Zhang is anxious, and it is really unbearable to be so dry. Zhang still has some urgent matters that have not yet been handled. It's better to do it first, and then come to play against Pei Gong. Zhang Mingbao said, and didn't wait for Pei Zhaoming to answer, he turned around and went downstairs after saluting.

Pei Zhaoming listened to the heavy sound coming from the staircase, and looked at Zhang Mingbao's back as he shook his tail fan and went downstairs with his head held high. Unconsciously shook his head slightly at this young man who was born in the Zhang family, one of the three Wu and four jia clans.

He knew this Zhang Mingbao as early as Jiankang. This person was born in the four major counties of Sanwu, and his surname was Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, and Wu County Zhang. In the early years, when he stayed in Wu County, he was quite famous among the children of Sanwu. At the beginning of this year, he traveled from Wu County to Jiankang, and went back and forth with the home of the minister. When he befriended the sons of the nobles, he offended the emperor's beloved son because he was a merchant girl in the water of Qinhuai, and he was exiled to Northern Yanzhou on the second day by the Zhang family to avoid the limelight.

Honshu Thorn Shiyuan Rongzu saw his reputation as the Zhang family, and recruited him to take the position of historian, so as to form a fate with the Zhang family. I didn't expect this Zhang Mingbao to have no real skills, but he learned the rich and noble atmosphere of Wang Xie and other high-ranking people, and he held a tail fan that he didn't know where to get it all day long, learning a celebrity demeanor, and talking about mysteries with people. But now it's not the former Jin Dynasty, and those who are willing to respond to the local assassin history will still do some practical things, and no one will talk about Xuandao so much in their spare time. This Zhang Mingbao couldn't find a fellow Daoist, and he was probably in a panic, so he took the initiative to find the assassin Shiyuan Rongzu and asked to follow Pei Zhaoming to meet the northern envoy, but he didn't expect that he couldn't stand it after the first day.

"Pei Shilang, the northern envoy's boat has arrived." The Jin official on the side suddenly pointed to Huaishui and said

Pei Zhaoming turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by the Jin, and sure enough, he saw a building boat with a yellow flag, and there were many people standing faintly on it. Pei Zhaoming stepped forward in a few steps, leaned on the railing and looked carefully for a while, then turned around and went down the watchtower.

Tuoba Shen, Li Biao and others were on the bow of the ship, and they also saw Pei Zhaoming. I felt strange about this, I didn't expect Pei Zhaoming to be here, it seems that Xiao Zhen should have arranged for him to come here.

Zheng Daozhao looked at Pei Zhaoming and the others who hurriedly walked to the ferry, and saw the strange color in Li Biao's eyes, obviously they knew him, so he asked: "Li Micheng knows the person who is the leader on the shore?" ”

"This person, Zheng Langguan, should have also heard that it was Pei Zhaoming, who went to the capital last year, and his person was also from Hedong."

Zheng Daozhao thought for a while after hearing this, and said: "Xiao Zhen sent him to welcome His Royal Highness, I think it was because His Royal Highness saw him off when Pei Zhaoming returned south that day." Even if it is the face of the deceased, it is much more convenient. ”
