Chapter 10 is almost planted
Time flies, and the New Year has passed in a blink of an eye. With nothing to do, Lu Chang is about to set off, he is going to arrive in Chang'an on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to enjoy the lanterns.
When going out is different from at home, everyone organizes their bags and brings enough money. Lu Chang's father has a BMW, called the Lion Beast, which is fiery red, travels thousands of miles a day, and walks on mountain roads like walking on flat ground. Lu Shen had long wanted to give it to Lu Chang, but Lu Chang never asked for it. After Lu Shen's death, the horse naturally belonged to Lu Chang, and this time Lu Chang rode the horse out of the house.
Zhang Yu's horse is also good, the four hooves are snow-white, the whole body is black, the name is dark clouds and snow, and it can be regarded as a BMW. Xinwen's horse is a little inferior, and it can be regarded as a good horse.
Three people with five personal soldiers, a group of eight people rode eight horses on the road,
This time to Chang'an, Lu Chang and others did not take the land route but the water route, and the ditch at the southern end of the Tongji Canal was in Jiangdu.
Lu Chang hired a big boat, got on board with all the men and horses, and started to travel north from Hangou.
In the first year of the Great Cause, Yang Guangfa, the Emperor of the Great Sui, sent the people of Henan and Huaibei counties, and opened the Jiqu Canal with more than one million people before and after. Tongji Canal is the most important section of the Sui Grand Canal, it is divided into two sections: a section starts from the West Garden of the Sui Emperor's Palace in the west of Luoyang County, Henan Province, leads the valley and Luo Ershui to the river, probably follows the old road of the Yang Canal opened by Zhang Chun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and enters the Yellow River from Yanshi to Luokou in Gongxian County. Another section from Banzhu in Henan, leading the Yellow River water through Xingyang, Kaifeng and Bianshui confluence, and now the west of Qixian and Bianshui flow, bending to the southeast, through the present Shangqiu, Yongcheng, Suxian, Lingbi, Si County, Sihong County, in the north of Xuyi into Huaishui.
In the same year, more than 100,000 people from Huainan opened a ditch, from Shanyang to Yangzi into the river, so that the Tongji Canal connected the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
Tongji Canal is more than 2,000 miles long, the canal is 40 steps wide, the royal road is built on both banks, and the willow tree is planted, which can not only protect the bank, but also give shade to the boat leader. Such a project is not small in later generations, let alone in ancient times thousands of years, and its scale is unimaginable.
After all, it was too hard to travel by land, not to mention that Lu Chang was rich, he didn't want to suffer. How comfortable it is to take the boat, sipping wine and looking at the scenery along the coast along the way, this kind of journey life is more than a fairy.
The boat is very large and divided into two floors, and Lu Chang and the others are in the upper class warehouse upstairs, with a very wide view.
As the day approached noon, Lu Chang sent Xin Wen early to arrange food and drink.
"Childe, the boatman has started to prepare, and it will be served in a moment."
"Well, before I know it's noon, we're going to become foodies if we don't do anything along the way, haha."
Zhang Yu and the others also laughed, yes, what can you do on the ship? In addition to looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, the rest is probably to eat and drink.
At first, I was still a little interested, especially Lu Chang, a guy from later generations, who had never seen the legendary Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty. The reason for going out most of this time is to see the great cause left by the Great Sui Dynasty to future generations. However, after a few days, the strangeness at the beginning has passed, and it will be like this again.
"Childe said yes, but he can't do anything other than eat and drink. I want to take a bath in the water, but the water is too cold now, and I have seen enough scenery, so what can I do with the rest? ”
While they were talking, the hull of the ship shook, as if a ship had come to their boat.
Ever since he had practiced the Turtle Breath Gong, Lu Chang obviously felt deaf and clear. No one else might hear it, but he heard a sound of footsteps, and several people got on board.
"Helper, why are you here in person?" Seeing that it was his own helper, Ye Tianlong, the hall master, just stepped forward to greet him.
"Hehe, Hall Master Ye, I also happen to be nearby. I heard that there were two good horses on board, so I came to see how the goods were doing. Do you know that they are all identities? ”
"Qiqi Gang Leader, when I heard a few words, they are all officers and soldiers of Jiangdu City, and the biggest one seems to be just a brigade rate." Ye Tianlong had already figured out the situation and introduced it to the helper.
"Hehe, it's all small people, so you don't have to worry about it. These two BMWs are bound to be won. ”
Hearing this, Lu Chang thought to himself, this is on a thief ship! Nima, if it weren't for her own hearing and eyesight that are different from ordinary people because of her practice of turtle breath gong, she would have capsized in the gutter this time, and the end would have been very bad!
Listening to that, the one who just came up was a gang leader, and it was a woman, but I don't know which gang leader it was. Lu Chang came to the Great Sui Dynasty from later generations, and his eyes were dark about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he would not know this.
Xin Wen saw that Lu Chang was very strict, his ears seemed to be listening to something, and he was about to ask a question but was stopped by Lu Chang. Lu Chang waved his hand, and let out a "shhhhhhhhh
Although everyone didn't know what was going on, they also knew that something unusual was happening, so they all kept their mouths shut and kept silent.
Lu Chang heard the following conversation in his ears again, only to hear the woman start talking again: "Hall Master Ye, have you all searched and found anything else?" ”
"They had their own weapons with them, and nothing else had been found."
"Well, what are they doing now?"
"Qiyu Gang Master, they just ordered some wine and food, and they want to have lunch."
"Drugging them in the wine, take me to see the two BMWs."
"Yes, helper." The hall master, Ye Tianlong, took the order and left.
Hearing this, Lu Chang understood, paralyzed, and wanted to rob money and kill for the two war horses in his hands. If it weren't for Lu Chang's ears, I'm afraid I would have to plant it when I went out this time. It's too sinister! Be careful in the future.
Lu Chang was very angry, and the consequences were very severe......
Lu Chang looked at the eager eyes of several people, smiled bitterly, and whispered, "Unfortunately, we got on a thief ship." They are optimistic about the two BMWs, the Lion Beast and the Dark Cloud Cover Snow, and they want to kill them for money! ”
"Ah......h
Some of these people don't believe their ears, and they probably have never encountered anything like this.
"Childe, our two horses won't be taken away by them, right?"
Zhang Yu is worried that his horses can be bought by ordinary horses, but BMWs are scarce, and money may not be able to buy them.
"Don't worry, this is on the boat, as long as you control the boat, the horse will be fine."
Xin Jingbo got up and was about to get his pair of silver hammers, but was held down by Lu Chang.
"Don't be impatient, come up with wine and food in a while, don't be in a hurry to drink, I guess I've taken the anesthetic. Let's pretend to fool them and make them think we're poisoned. Then let's take advantage of the unpreparedness and listen to my orders for a while. Zhang Yu, you take everyone to control this boat, this seems to be a gang boat, and I am responsible for arresting the thief. ”
Xin Jingbo was furious, and said fiercely: "Childe, why bother like this, I'll just kill them." ”
"Hehe, who will do the boat for us if you kill them, will you? Moreover, we must take advantage of their unpreparedness to take down this gang of thieves in one go, and then control the boat. Otherwise, if there is a fish that slips through the net and scuttles the boat, won't we have to feed the king? ”
Xin Wen sneered, he didn't have this brain.
After explaining, Lu Chang silenced everyone, and he chatted with Zhang Yu without a word, talking about some irrelevant topics.
Sure enough, after a while, the boatman brought wine and food, and after putting down the wine and food, he was polite first.
"Guest officer, the wine and food are ready, please use it slowly."
After the boatman went out, Lu Chang and the others sat down as if they were fine.
Lu Chang poured the wine in his hand on the ground and said, "Come, everyone have a good drink, well, good wine!" ”
The others followed suit, and in a short time the wine was spilled all over the floor, and the whole cabin was full of wine.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Lu Chang gradually lowered his voice, and then, with a gesture, everyone lay on the table, which was considered to be overturned.
