A day later, Di Renjie, the second generation of officials, used his connections to find a big sloop in Xiangzhou that operated Cao Yun.

Although it is a single sloop, it is not a problem to carry more than ten people, and the two-masted ship is only available in the government-run Cao Yun, and it is very troublesome to rent.

If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the ship had an old relationship with Di Renjie's family, he would not dare to easily lease this big sloop for other use.

At present, the circulation of materials in different places of the government mainly depends on the transportation of water, whether it is a private transportation ship or not, as long as it is a large ship, it is possible to be collected by the government.

The owner of the ship, because of the affection of the Di family, did not transfer the money from the government, and reluctantly rented a dhow for them to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and at the same time agreed with Di Renjie to board the ship early the next morning.

Di Renjie returned to the inn to inform the story of the chartered boat, and the group was overjoyed and prepared to salute overnight.

At dawn the next day, the group packed up and came to the pier to board the boat, and then went down the river, which was also smooth.

Gao Yue was on a boat for the first time, and her excited little face was red and squeaky and chattering.

Seeing that his daughter was so happy, Gao Sheng's heart was also happy.

However, at this moment, it is the cold season, the cold wind is grinning, although it is a boat and waterway, you have to resist the curiosity of watching the coastal scenery, and hide in the cabin to bake charcoal fire to keep warm, in order to avoid the severe cold and the howling north wind.

The Hanjiang River is the only way for Chang'an to connect the Jiangnan Province waterway, although the cold road is frozen, but the government along the Yangtze River has already sent a conscription to cut the ice and clear the roadway, so that winter shipping is not a problem.

Going down the river is also trouble-free, but the sails do not dare to be opened, so as to avoid the speed of the boat being too fast, and colliding with the floating ice floating on the river from time to time, which will cause danger.

The captain of the boat, led the boatmen into three shifts, and stood in the cold bow of the boat day and night with torches, observing the river, and if there was any ice floes ahead, he immediately told the helmsman to turn.

If the group had known that the boat would have to avoid ice floes in winter, Gao Sheng, who had spared his life, would rather spend half a month to reach Jiangnan Road than take the waterway.

Of course, as long as the ship enters a large river such as the Yangtze River, the water will not freeze when the water is turbulent, and the ship will not be in danger of floating ice, and the wind and water will be smooth.

A few days later, the ship entered the Yangtze River basin, and the hearts of everyone on board were relaxed.

In order to pass the boring life, in addition to the daily sleeping time, Gao Sheng inquired with the captain about some coastal customs and customs, and the rest of the time was to play with his daughter Gao Yue to enhance the relationship between father and daughter.

Little children like to listen to stories, so Gao Sheng's chaotic version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has become another highlight of Gao Yue in addition to eating, drinking, sleeping, warming books, and playing.

The little fart child likes to show off, and the story he got from his father's ascension naturally wanted to find some admirers to vent, so Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong, and Wu Qianjun on the ship, as well as a dozen or so guards led by Wu Qianjun, the boat boss and the boatman, all became loyal listeners to the little girl.

What "East Evil", "West Poison", "Southern Emperor", "Northern Beggar", "Zhongshentong", "Nine Yin True Scripture", "Hands Fighting" These bizarre martial arts worlds immediately attracted these dignitaries and nobles in the Tang Dynasty, as well as the pawns of peddlers.

“…… Zhou Bodao: 'You Dao is my senior brother's manifestation after his death?' Or is it resurrected? Neither, he's faked his death. Guo Jing sighed and said, "Fake death? ’……”

Coupled with Gao Yue's immature children's voice, cute praise, and heart-wrenching story content, Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong, two cultural people who read poetry and books, frequently and rudely slapped the table and applauded.

How can you just listen to such a wonderful and superversive story?

Wei Yuanzhong's calligraphy is good, and he immediately brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and recorded Gao Yue's dictation on the spot, and Gao Sheng's indiscriminate version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the ship arrived at Jizhou, the largest port in the Yangtze River basin of Jiangnan Province (Jiangyin, collectively referred to as Jizhou here), the whole story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had been finished, and Wei Yuanzhong's manuscript had been completed.

Take the waterway to Jizhou in Jiangnan Province, which is barely the end.

Floating on the river for more than ten days, no one can stand it, not to mention that the group is rare to take a boat once, and they are not used to it.

Finally got off the boat, everyone felt that their feet were fluttering, if it weren't for the thrill of this waterway, I am afraid that there is no down-to-earth and stable now.

But the beast behaved as usual, looking at the staggered crowd with a look of disdain.

Saying goodbye to the boat boss, everyone entered Jizhou and chartered a small inn.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it would be too unkind to rush again.

Gao Sheng also planned to let the people who had been adrift on the ship for more than ten days rest for a day, so he asked the innkeepers to buy a few ingredients, personally cooked a few good dishes with wine, and moved out two jars of home-brewed millet wine brought from home.

Well, the wine was too strong, and that night in addition to Gao Sheng, and Gao Yue, who didn't drink, all lay down.

The next day, when it was dawn, Wu Qianjun knocked on his door with a look of shame.

"Yesterday, I waited for a greedy cup, and I missed the big event of the county man and Princess Yong'an, and I asked the county man and Princess Yong'an to punish him."

Just a man from Shanghe County, he can't bluff Wu Qianjun's head, he is a guard next to the emperor, don't look at it as a small military commander, how many princes have to scold him, let him say a few good words in front of the emperor, if he wants to get a little idle county man, don't be too easy.

Just because Wu Qianjun was Li Zhi's guard, he knew Li Zhi's thoughts as the emperor's old son.

He can not give Gao Sheng face, and he can't help but give Gao Yue, the princess of Yong'an, face.

Li Zhi's love for Gao Yue, he really sees it in the palace, even the crown prince Li Zhong can't please Gao Yue in front of him, how can he dare to compare with the crown prince Li Zhong?

This soft apology made Gao Sheng quite useful, and said to Wu Qianjun: "It's okay, if there are brothers who can't get up, let the brothers rest for another day before setting off." ”

"I don't dare."

Wu Qianjun was covered with cold sweat on his forehead.

According to Gao Sheng's prior arrangement, he will set off early this morning, observe the people of Jiangnan Province along the road, and arrive in Suzhou before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Drinking too much last night, everyone was drunk, and the next day the mountain didn't wake up, isn't this a delay in the trip, and the words of the princess Lao Tzu are on deaf ears?

Don't forget, this princess is Gao Yue, Princess Yong'an who even the crown prince Li Zhong will suffer.

The plan can't catch up with the changes, of course Gao Sheng knows the truth, if a group of guards are lying on their stomachs, they can only stay at the inn for one more day that night before setting off.

Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort to Wu Qianjun, several angry cheers came from the front yard of the inn......
