Chapter 427: The Ship

Gao Jun, Liu Yuru, and Fan Ying got up in the morning to fix the anchor head of the big ship and rode in the direction of Chuzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThey plan to stay in Chuzhou for a few days, cross the river again, and then go back to Xizhou.

Chuzhou, Wude four years, beneficial to the capital, Linzi, Qiancheng, Bochang, Shouguang, Linqu, Beihai seven counties. The state city is located at the confluence of the Han and Yangtze rivers. Ships coming from the direction of Xiangzhou and from the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the direction of the Qinling Mountains in the north must pass through here.

It faces Ezhou across the river, the boats on the wharf are densely arranged, the boats that cross the river ferry are endless, and the sound of the trumpet on the boat, singing and answering each other is heard from far and near.

At the mouth of the Han River, there are three huge docks along the river, and the three of them are far away, and there are two tall ships in the dock that catch their eyes. The keel of a ship has been erected, the main beams and frames have taken shape, the tall main mast towers into the sky, and a dozen craftsmen are clinging to it like birds, making beams for hanging sails.

The other, a little farther away, was a little faster than this one, and dozens of men shouted trumpets and pushed a plate from the shore that was two feet long, three or four feet wide, and half a foot thick. The bottom of the board is padded with logs, which are slowly rolled under the push of the crowd. On the ship, there were countless craftsmen and overseers busy coming and going, and the sound of adzes, chisels, axes, and saws became a busy scene.

Gao Jun and Liu Yuru had never seen such a tall giant ship before, and she stood there and let out an exclamation from her mouth, "Wow! What a tall ship! Fan Ying said, "This kind of boat may be going to the sea." ”

Liu Yuru's mood in the past two days is like spring flowers in March, colorful and stretched. Gao Jun's changes have changed dramatically, after returning from Liaodong, he is like a different person, his eyes often wander unscrupulously on her body and face, and she has a fever for a while. The hotel in Dengju City, the big boat on the Han River, she will remember these two places.

She occasionally remembered what happened in Danfeng Town, and felt that Wang Da was not as hateful as she had imagined before, and the danger he imposed and the experience of her and Fan Ying's desperate encounter made her know who she was relying on in this life.

This encounter has obviously affected Gao Jun, Gao Jun's enthusiasm is like a gust of wind, blowing off the impetuous sand and dust on her heart, and the lines that cover them clearly emerge, it turns out to be so unforgettable.

When Gao Jun saw this, he secretly guessed in his heart: the big ship transporting logs on the Han River is estimated to be unloading here. Judging from the officials who can be seen everywhere on the dock, shipbuilding will not be the behavior of large private households, combined with Fan Ying's words, then, is Datang preparing for some action at sea?

Thinking so, he rode up with the two of them, and in front of the dock was a dock, in which were moored three large ships, two of which had been emptied, and the other of which had been half unloaded with logs. At first glance, it was the boat they encountered on the Han River.

Liu Yuru and Fan Ying, the two women, were dressed beautifully, and the guys on the boat found them from afar, stopped what they were doing and shouted on the boat, "Three, why are you so late?" Is it a night on a big ship? ”

The other said to him, "What do you care about being so wide!" People fancy that there are no outsiders disturbing the ship, and they want to sleep peacefully? Liu Yuru listened and said in her heart, "How can I be stable for a while!" She looked at Gao Jun and saw that he was talking to the people on the boat.

Gao Jun said, "Why didn't the unloaded ship go back as soon as possible, and it was still stranded on the dock?" ”

Someone replied, "It's easy to come and it's hard to go, they are waiting for us, and they want to hire some slender men in Jingzhou Duan'er together, otherwise where can they go?" Gao Jun understood, and asked, "How many slender men can you hire?" ”

Someone said, "It's not okay to have less, but fortunately, the boat wasn't so heavy when I went back, and it would take fifty people." ”

While you were talking to each other on both sides, an official came out of the dock and shouted at Gao Jun, "Where did you come from?" Leave unrelated people, don't miss the ship. If you delay the construction period of Lord Chuzhou's assassin, you won't be able to get rid of it. As he spoke, he walked up to Gao Jun and said, "Why don't you move?" Troublemaker, isn't it? ”

Gao Jun said, "The official is angry, we are from Dengzhou, and my two ladies are going to Jiangnan to play, and they just passed by here, so they just asked casually." ”

The official is not tall, but his tone is not small, "Just look at it, is this a casual thing?" Shipbuilding is a major place, and no one is allowed to approach, don't you know? ”

He may have been provoked by something in the morning, and he was not very angry, and then he saw that the person riding on the red horse was a white robe, and he was not a person of status, but he brought two women who were so beautiful out to wander around. Somehow, the breath in his chest was even more intense, so he had the intention to make it difficult. Originally, Gao Jun was about to turn his horse away when he heard his words, but he stopped his hand and said, "Slow! ”

Gao Jun thought he had changed his mind, "What's the matter, the bad official allowed us to see it again?" Thank you then. ”

The man said, "To tell you the truth, the two prefectures of Chu and Hubei are rushing to build huge ships according to the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and you are unknown and peeping at the docks, I suspect where you came from." ”

Liu Yuru said, "Poor master, you said it badly, if we are some kind of spies, how can we be so swaggering?" ”

When the man heard this, he pouted and said, "Who is a spy with written on the door of his head?" You didn't let you go just now, and now you can't help if you want to go. ”

The logs unloaded from the ship were being unloaded one by one in the old way, with log rollers underneath, and more than a dozen people pushed and unloaded them to the shore. One of the guys who came down from the boat was also there, and he listened to it and said, "Official, I know that they are indeed from the direction of Dengzhou, not spies. ”

They were pushing the log behind the errand officer, and said with a smile, "Who would be willing to let such beautiful women come out to be spies?" ”

His words were nothing, but they upset the errand officer. He was carrying a horsewhip in his hand, and when he heard his words, he turned around and gave a whip, shouting, "Let you talk a lot, is it the spy who wants me to have the final say!" ”

The whip was hitting the man's shoulder, and he was a little distracted when he heard Gao Jun speak here, and the log had already reached the edge on the wooden roller without noticing. As soon as the whip came down from his shoulder, his hand forgot to hold it, and a log three feet in diameter fell off the roller.

Someone behind him exclaimed, "Be careful! ”

But it was too late, and the front end of the log fell off the rollers, crushing the two men on the side of the boat to the ground. They sat on the ground with their bodies crooked, all four legs were pressed by the logs, and the two of them screamed, as if their legs were not lightly injured.

When a few people behind them saw it, they leaned down and held the back half of the child to prevent it from falling, shouting, "Hurry up and get the people out!" "They can't move, but fortunately these people didn't let go of the sudden situation, and if they didn't fall down halfway, the two people underground would be hurt even more. (To be continued.) )
