The season is July, the sun hangs high in the sky like a fireball, and now it is located on the Chang'an wharf when there is a big locust plague in the entire Guanzhong.

At this time, there were more than a dozen building boats quietly docked, all of which were flat-bottomed clippers with fast speed in the shallow river.

And on these fast ships, almost every ship at this time, there were more than a dozen heavily armed wingmen, all dressed in steel armor.

The figure is like an iron tower, and through the brim of the steel hat, you can see the anxious expressions on the faces of these wingmen.

And when the line of sight moved away from the dozen or so clippers on the river and threw them on the opposite pier, I saw Zhao Chen, who was wearing a cyan robe, standing on the pier at this time, talking quietly with Qin Yuyan and Xiangcheng, who came to see them off.

This is already the second day, since yesterday received a letter from Lingnan, after that, Zhao Chen hurried to the palace and discussed the specific matters with Li Er.

Early this morning, just as Zhao Chen said to Qin Yuyan at the time, he really started to set off.

On this trip to Lingnan, Li Er gave him the position of the head of the march of Lingnan Road, and gave him 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus the right to mobilize troops and horses near Lingnan in Jiangnan Province if necessary.

Now, when Zhao Chen led more than 100 people to Luoyang by waterway, the 1,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army had already stepped up and went straight to Luoyang from the official road.

At that time, the two parties will meet in Luoyang, and then take the treasure ship docked in Luoyang, all the way through the Yellow River and the canal, to Lingnan.

As for the 4,000 men and horses mobilized by Li Er in the later period, they will be transported by dry roads. From the Meiling area, over the mountains and mountains. Direct to Nanfuzhou, Lingnan.

Although the treasure ship is large, it cannot accommodate 5,000 soldiers and horses. Therefore, time is of the essence, so Zhao Chen can only take the 1,000 people of the Flying Tiger Army to Lingnan by water first.

"I don't know how long it will take to go to Lingnan this time, and the house will depend on the two of you!" Zhao Chen looked at the two women in front of him at this time, his expression was also a little helpless, he always ran around, and he ran for months.

"There are concubines and Yuyan in the house!" In the eyes of Xiangcheng. At this time, he was full of tears, and when he spoke, he sniffled vigorously, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "It's my husband's trip to Lingnan, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and I have to take care of myself!" ”

"Xianggong is not alone now!" Xiangcheng's voice fell, and Qin Yuyan on the side also snorted lightly and said: "Xianggong also has a family and a room now, and you have to think more about the house when you do anything!" ”

"Got it!" Zhao Chen listened to the two women. Some of the instructions were just a vigorous nod of agreement, even though they had been said more than eight hundred times last night.

"Come son, let daddy hug!" I heard the two women whispering in front of them. Zhao Chen stretched out his hand, hugged little Zhao Xi from Xiangcheng's arms, took off his chin and rubbed it on the little guy's face.

Then. looked at the little guy's dark eyes, and said with a smile: "Daddy is going to clean up those who bully daddy's friends." You have to take care of your mother and aunt at home! ”

"Wow, wow!" It has been more than a month since Zhao Xi. Lying in Zhao Chen's arms, as if he understood, he waved his little fist at Zhao Chen.

The two women, who were originally a little sad because of their parting, saw Zhao Chen and the two of them, asking and answering there, and immediately covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Alright, it's time for me to go!" Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two women, a little better, Zhao Chen handed the little guy to Xiangcheng again and said to the two women in front of him.

More than 100 people had already boarded the ship at this time, and they were waiting for Zhao Chen to board the ship and set off from the dock immediately.

There are changes in Lingnan, in fact, the most anxious thing is these bureaucrats, who all threw their families in Lingnan and followed Zhao Chen to Chang'an alone.

It's just on weekdays, but at this time, something happened in Lingnan, and before I didn't know the exact news, the feeling of worrying can be imagined!

Zhao Chen gave a few more words to the two women, and then took Mu Qiu together and walked towards the largest building ship docked on the dock.

More than a dozen building boats docked on the dock, and after Zhao Chen boarded the boat, they immediately slowly left the dock and went down the water, and the speed became faster and faster.

After Zhao Chen got on the boat, he stood on the deck, looking at the dock from afar, and the two women who were still waving goodbye to him sighed slightly.

To be honest, this time he rushed to Lingnan, and he was bottomless in his own heart, and he always felt that under these seemingly superficial things, there were some things that he couldn't see through.

For example, why did the hidden door, which has always been hidden outside the world, suddenly become a traitor?

Also, what kind of role did Feng Ang play in this incident, was he a participant behind it, or did he sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and get the benefits of the fisherman?

The building boat is driving on the Weishui River, and almost all the wingmen are driving at full power, eager to travel thousands of miles a day, and they can reach Lingnan in three or two days!

Zhao Chen understood the feelings of these people, so he ignored them along the way, just sat in the cabin and thought about his own affairs, and handed over the affairs of the helm to the bureaucrats.

Luoyang Wharf, which connects Guanzhong and the north and south of Datang, since Chang'an's trade began to develop, Luoyang's wharf has also risen.

It has been expanded, but with the increase in trade volume and the number of passing ships, the originally expanded wharf has fallen into a busy scene again.

However, the wharf, which seemed extremely busy and crowded in the past, suddenly stopped today, and the cargo ships that originally came and went were all temporarily concentrated at the wharf by the defenders of Luoyang Mansion.

The busy river surface was cleared out, and a huge ship was quietly docked, and one was naturally familiar to them, which was the treasure ship that belonged to the Marquis of Chang'an.

This treasure ship has been docked in Luoyang for two years, except for occasional sights, the treasure ship will go out quietly every once in a while, and more often, the treasure ship is only docked there.

In addition to this treasure ship, there are also several five-tooth giant ships docked, and the ship type is only one size smaller than the treasure ship, and one of the five-tooth giant ships is standing in Luoyang to stay behind, General Hou and his party.

Standing on one of the five-tooth ships, as if waiting for someone, he talked in a low voice while looking at the canal in the direction of Guanzhong from time to time.

In the afternoon, when people were curious and impatient, they saw that many boats suddenly appeared in the canal from the direction of Chang'an, and on the building boat led by a young man in a green shirt and long robe.

"Hou thought that when Chang'an Hou came, it was at least evening!" The building boat entered Luoshui, and Hou Junji, who was standing on a five-tooth ship, stood far away on the bow of the ship, looked at Zhao Chen with a smile and said.

"Time waits for no one!" Zhao Chen saw that Hou Junji was also there, he was slightly stunned, and then looked at Hou Junji and said, "Why did the general come in person?" ”

"Your Majesty has a will, how dare Hou slack off!" When Hou Junji heard this, he smiled at Zhao Chen, who had already slowly approached him: "Since receiving His Majesty's order, Hou has stepped up the requisition of seven ships, and he has done his best!" ”

While the two were talking, the boat had docked on the Wuya ship where Hou Junji was, and then, with the help of several boatmen, Zhao Chen stepped on the Wuya giant ship.

"But is something happening over there in Lingnan?" got on the Wuya ship, and then the two came to the cabin, and as soon as they sat down, Hou Junji waved away the people around him, and looked at Zhao Chen with a condensed face and said.

"Feng Huo rebelled, and Nanfu was besieged!" There is no need to hide this matter from Hou Junji, Zhao Chen heard Hou Junji's inquiry, smiled slightly bitterly, and looked at Hou Junji's concise words.

"Sure enough!" After listening to Zhao Chen's explanation, Hou Junji immediately took a breath of cold air, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "When Hou received a telegram from His Majesty, saying that it was an urgent requisition of the Wuya Giant Ship, he guessed that something terrible must have happened in Lingnan!" ”

"It's all to blame for my poor thinking and leaving such a scourge!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at Hou Junji and said.

"That's okay!" Hou Junji's eyes showed a hint of murderous aura, and he looked at Zhao Chen indifferently and said: "It just so happened that this time it jumped out, then it happened to be served in a pot, otherwise, wouldn't it be endless disasters in the future!" ”

"That's right!" When he said this, Hou Junji suddenly remembered something, suddenly looked at Zhao Chen and said: "You went to Lingnan this time, in the end to quell the rebellion, it is the time to employ people around you, it just so happens that the dog has learned some battle techniques with the generals in the house, so I will go to Lingnan with you!" ”

Hearing Hou Junji's words, the person sitting there in Zhao Chen was suddenly slightly stunned with an expression on his face.

However, when he saw Hou Junji on the other side, he looked calm and comfortable, and was slightly stunned, so he had to arch his hand at Hou Junji and said: "The general is so righteous, Zhao has thanked me here!" ”

"You're welcome!" When Hou Junji saw Zhao Chen agree, his face suddenly showed joy, and he also arched his hand at Zhao Chen: "It's all for the country and the people, and it should be so!" ”

Hou Junji's son, named Hou Yong, is indeed as Hou Junji said, this guy is indeed born in the army, walks and walks like a tiger.

Although he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, his tower-like body, coupled with the muscles he had cultivated over many years of martial arts, was like a moving fortress, and Zhao Chen's eyes were straight.

"Do you know water?" Zhao Chen only thought that Hou Junji was just stuffing him with a second ancestor, and by the way, he made some merits from Lingnan, and for the sake of Hou Junji's two years of taking care of the treasure ship, Zhao Chen agreed.

However, seeing Hou Yong's bear-like guy at this moment, Le's eyebrows and eyes were about to squeeze into a slit.

"Yes!" Hou Yong in front of him, hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, agreed in his mouth, scratched his head vigorously, glanced back at the river behind him, and without waiting for Zhao Chen to speak, he turned around abruptly and jumped into the river with a 'poof'.

"It's a bit of a biao!" Zhao Chen watched Hou Yong jump into the river, and was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at his body (to be continued.) )
