Lao Li once said: 'The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains.' Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info'So going down the river is probably the fastest way to get around in this era.

Therefore, even if the water flow in the middle and lower reaches of the river is gentle, it can't be done to the extent that thousands of miles of Jiangling can be returned in one day, but Qin Lei pondered that the more than 2,500 miles of waterway should be completed in five days at most.

But he proved to be too much of a matter of assumption, and when the fleet reached the fifth day, he asked people to inquire about it...... Oh, I just walked to Ezhou Mansion, and there is still a full half of the way.

"I said how can this boat drive so steadily," Qin Lei couldn't help but say with disdain: "It turned out to be a turtle moving forward at a fast speed!" Obviously, he took it for granted again...... In fact, turtles are very fast in the water...... At least faster than his five highnesses.

Fortunately, the horses are ten driving, and the work is reluctant, as long as the kung fu deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. Finally, five days later, the captain of the drinking friend appeared again: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are still two hours to get ashore, please get ready." "It seems that this captain is a real person, he doesn't call him a brother at the wine table, and he loves to drink after drinking.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief...... Although the boat walked smoothly on dry land, it was held on the first floor for more than ten days, and no one could stand it. packed up his things in the fastest time, and under the leadership of the prince, lined up on the deck, ready to disembark.

Seeing that the shore is becoming denser and denser, there are all kinds of boats shuttling on the river. The people of Chu on the boat and on the shore saw this huge building ship that covered the sky and the sun, and they waved their hands and shouted: "Invincible!" Invincibility! ”

The Qin people on the boat heard that the voice was very harsh...... Because the prestige of the Chu State Navy Division was built on the basis of defeating the Qin fleet countless times......

Seeing that the faces of his subordinates were not very good-looking, Qin Lei pouted and said, "They are cursing themselves, look at it, these ships will all sink sooner or later!" Wang Anting was dumbfounded and said, "Why? ”

"Didn't you hear them shout? Bottomless! Bottomless! If this ship has no bottom, it is strange that it does not sink! Qin Lei said with a strange smile.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, even the always old-fashioned scholar Wang ignored it...... It seems that the Spiritual Victory Method is indeed surging in the blood of every descendant of Yan and Huang.

After another while, the destination of this trip ...... The glittering and heavenly palace-like capital city of Chu finally came into everyone's eyes, but Qin Lei and the others were stunned by the golden light reflected by the city wall, and they couldn't open their eyes, so naturally they couldn't see anything clearly.

Most people, including Qin Lei, were visiting Shenjing City for the first time, and they thought that the golden light was the secret weapon of the Chu State. But Zhou Baojun, who has heard it a few times, explained: "The Chu people are plastered with glazed bricks on the city wall, and every time the sun is good, they are illuminated with golden light, which makes people unable to force their eyes. ”

Why is that? Do they have money to spend nowhere? "Wang Anting is worthy of being a veteran of the imperial history, and he can't help it when he sees extravagance and waste, and he doesn't care whether he should do anything else or not.

Zhou Baojun said softly: "The capital is the dignity of a country, and naturally it cannot be left behind. The state of Chu saw that the height of the capital city of the gods was only half of the capital city of our middle capital, and in terms of the degree of subtlety of the design, it could not be compared with the capital city of the state of Qi that was improved by Shenjizi himself. So they can only work on appearances. As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile: "Since you are not as tall as others and not as practical as others, then you should look better than others!" ”

Qin Lei pouted and said, "It's good-looking, it's like a ball of stool." Zhou Baojun smiled helplessly: "Chu people like the beauty of Chinese costumes and are proud of complex luxury, so in their opinion, this is the most beautiful." ”

As the distance got closer and closer, the outline of the city became clearer and clearer, only to see that the city was really not too high, that is, the appearance of **zhang, but the style was extremely exquisite, the lower part was the base of green and white jade, and the middle was a smooth and flat glazed wall. On the high wall, the palace-like structure has been completely built, with carved beams and painted buildings, bucket arch beams, and even roof horned beasts.

It can be said that what should be in the palace is what is on the city wall. However, there are no defensive facilities such as arrow stacks, women's walls, and lookout posts. Qin Lei couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Then how can they defend themselves?" ”

"As long as our Great Chu Sailor is here, Shenjing City will not need to be defended!" The captain of the drinking friend was coming down from the upper floor, and when he heard this, he said proudly: "And our Da Chu Shui Master ......" said and swept his gaze over everyone, and said categorically: "It is invincible!" ”

Qin people rolled their eyes. Too lazy to talk to him. The captain was bored, but he realized more and more that the other party was afraid of the invincible armada of the Chu State, and he became more and more arrogant, and he didn't estimate the feelings on the wine table.

After a while, the lieutenant remembered his mission, raised his chin and said to Qin Lei: "I will dock later, please avoid it first, and wait for the eldest princess Feng to drive upstairs before leaving." ”

Everyone was so angry that Zhou Baojun stepped forward to negotiate, but was coldly rejected by the captain: "This ship was originally to send Her Royal Highness the eldest princess back to Beijing, but it was just carrying you by the way, don't be ignorant!" With that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Leaving Zhou Baojun, who was so angry that his face was red, stomped his feet there.

said that he would stay for a while, but he waited for half an hour before the ship docked. Qin Lei and the others saw a team of neatly looking guards driving down from the boat. After those Chu guards disembarked, they surrounded the docks.

It was a little while before the upstairs began to get noisy. I saw a team of Chu State guards dressed in Qilin brocade clothes and carrying a thousand oxen treasure swords at their waists coming down from upstairs, Qin Lei knew that these people were the most elite Ouchi guards in Chu State, also called 'Qilin Brocade'. These people belonged directly to the emperor and were also ordered to protect the immediate family members of the imperial family. It can even be said that where there is a haunt of the royal family of Chu State, there must be a trace of a unicorn brocade, and its status can be seen.

Under the escort of the brigade of unicorn brocades, rows of palace maids walked down the stairs with palace lanterns, Yingluo, lotus flowers, fruit baskets and the like, followed by a team of eunuchs with Luo umbrella canopies...... The two princesses of Chu were in the middle.

When the team went down to the fifth floor, one of the princesses suddenly turned his face, and it turned out to be a delicate but arrogant little face, and those big cunning eyes saw Qin Lei as soon as they patrolled through the group of people in the Qin State. The princess looked at him deeply, turned her head with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and followed the party downstairs.

Qin Lei was glanced at for no reason, and pouted inexplicably, he was very unimpressed by the pretty face of the cowhide. Aesthetically speaking, he likes the gentle girls like Shiyun and Ruolan, even if Yunshang only likes to play with some petty temperament, but not like this little girl...... Pride.

"Maybe the little fat man will like it......" An inexplicable thought came to his mind, Qin Lei secretly laughed: "When has this been, why do you still think about this nonsense." Gathering his mind, he began to observe the situation on the shore. Soon he noticed that something was wrong, and said softly: "Why didn't anyone greet him?" ”

This is a very abnormal thing, even if the relationship between Qin and Chu is bad, the Chu people want to give Qin Lei and them a power to get off the boat, and if they don't come to greet them, they will say the past. But there are two princesses on board, how can they ignore them all?

Waiting for the two princesses of the Chu Kingdom to leave by car, the dock was suddenly much empty, and Qin Lei and the others could finally get off the boat. When he stood on the dock, he found that there were still a few people to greet him, and one of them he still knew, it was Gu Jun, the deputy envoy who accompanied the prince's envoy.

Gu Jun bowed when he saw Qin Leina's head, his expression was excited and sad, as if the bullied child had seen his mother, it seemed that he had suffered a lot. Qin Lei said a few words of comfort, then turned his head to the only Chu State official who came to greet him, "What are you doing?" ”

The official was not afraid of Qin Lei, but said with an indignant face: "This official Chen Xiangyan is the left temple of the Great Chu Honglu Temple!" ”

Qin Lei saw that this guy seemed to have eaten **, and then thought back to the treatment he received along the way, and couldn't help but get angry: "How many products are you?" ”

"This official is from the sixth grade!" The official replied stiffly.

Qin Lei's brain buzzed, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Gu Nai Wangjue, but your Chu State only sent a six-rank official to greet you, it's too deceitful!" As he spoke, he waved his sleeves violently, and said with a gloomy face: "Go back and tell your master, and talk to Gu on an equal footing!" After speaking, he got into the carriage without looking back, and the officials accompanying him also got into the carriage angrily, leaving Chen Xiangyan, who was stammering, there and ignoring him.

Gu Jun was just about to get into his car, but he was stopped by Shi Dang and took him to the prince's car.

Gu Jun got into the car nervously, and sure enough, when he saw the prince who was known for his hot temper, his handsome face had become iron-blue, and he was obviously suppressing his anger with all his might.

Gu Jun cowered and kowtowed, like a defeated rooster, lying on the ground and not daring to get up. Qin Lei didn't give him a good face because of this, and sneered: "You did a good thing!" How can people detain the crown prince? As he spoke, he slammed the table, gritted his teeth and said, "The two countries are not at war yet!" What's more, it's the people of Chu who want to save face! Say! What the hell did you do! ”

For Emperor Zhaowu's selfishness, Qin Lei was almost desperate, and it is estimated that no emperor in history dared to let his crown prince go to the enemy country, unless he thought that the prince lived too long and was too nourishing.

When the emperor of the enemy country puts his crown prince in front of him, it is estimated that the vast majority of emperors will not hesitate to detain it first......

But after the temptation along the way, Qin Lei has basically understood the character of the Chu people, they think very highly of themselves, and regard themselves as a civilized state, especially in front of the 'rude and unliterate' Qin people, they deliberately pay attention to manners and etiquette. It is said that it is unlikely that the envoys of the enemy country will be detained...... Even if that person is Prince Qin.

That's why Qin Lei asked.

Gu Jun, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted and kowtowed: "At first, the crown prince had a good conversation with the emperor of Chu, but then the envoy from Qi came and turned the situation back. After they re-signed the alliance, there were people in the Chu State clamoring to detain the crown prince......"

"And then?" Qin Lei said with a gloomy face: "Then they detained the crown prince?" ”

Gu Jun shook his head and whimpered: "No, although a group of civil and military forces led by the King of Southern Chu Qi tried their best to detain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Fifth Highness, but the faction of the King of Southern Chu and Zhou insisted on letting the prince return to China, and the two sides quarreled as in the past, and in the end, it was Emperor Jingtai who issued an order to let the prince return to China......

Qin Lei's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he said in a deep voice, "Then why...... Withheld again? ”

Gu Jun said angrily: "It's not a villain! After getting the holy decree of Emperor Jingtai, the prince did not dare to stay, and left Shenjing by boat the next day, who would have thought ......" His face became pale, and his voice became trembling, obviously touching the memory that he did not want to mention: "As a result, we walked less than a hundred miles, and we encountered the obstruction of the Chu ** team, and they boarded our ship under the pretext of routine inspection. ”

"Ridiculous!" Qin Lei's forehead suddenly jumped and said, "Go on!" ”

"As a result, they took advantage of our inattention, so they kidnapped the prince, and ordered all the guards to lay down their weapons and tie their hands ......" Speaking of this, the withered Deputy Envoy Gu couldn't help but cry bitterly: "As a result, they drove all the guards to a ship, and then scuttled the big ship with water ghosts, woo...... I, 1,300 good men in Daqin, died in the belly of the fish in humiliation......"

"Ahh Qin Lei gritted his teeth and roared, grabbed Gu Jun on the ground, and roared heartbreakingly: "Say! Who did this to you! I'm going to make him pay with blood! "The original information only said that the state of Chu detained the prince and let the others return to China, but the ship encountered a tornado and sank the heart of the river. I didn't know there was such a sensational story!

Gu Jun was dizzy by Qin Lei, and couldn't help coughing violently, Qin Lei let go of his hands, he sat on the ground and gasped for a few breaths, wiped away the tears on his face and said: "Except for the prince, a few of us also survived, but as soon as we went ashore, we were separated, and the prince was taken away by a group of Chu soldiers dressed in white, and we were taken back to the post house, and we were able to regain our freedom today......"

Although Qin Lei saw that he couldn't get to the point, he also knew that he was in shock, and if he blindly reprimanded, it would only make him more incoherent, so he pressed his temper and listened to him continue: "During this period, King Zhou's people came to visit once, according to them, this matter was done by an organization that was only established last year, called 'Baiyi Guard'. As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Lei, which meant that he was doing it against you at first glance.

Qin Lei raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Who is the head of that bullshit 'white guard'?" The first person in his mind was Gong Liangyu, that bastard was a spy of Nan Chu, liked to wear white clothes, and had suffered a big loss from the black-clothed guard, and had the most motive among all the suspects.

But there is one thing that Qin Lei immediately excluded that guy: don't forget, Brother Gongliang rebelled in the Qin State, but he was the emperor, although he was pulling the tiger skin to make a banner, but it was true that the yellow robe was added and called a lonely widow.

You must know that the profession of emperor is exclusive, and there is only one quota for each country. He didn't believe that the emperor of Chu and the princes who wanted to be emperors could tolerate such a guy to continue to be in power.

When he asked Gu Jun again, the guy didn't know anything, Qin Lei reluctantly stopped asking, it seemed that he could only find the truth of the matter.

The carriage returned to the post house, although the two thousand guards were left outside the city, and only one official and three hundred black-clothed guards followed him into the city, but the small post house was still crowded and very cramped.

But Qin Lei couldn't care about this anymore, he was eager to understand the current situation, why did the Chu people become so hostile to the Qin people, especially who was the real enemy?

After a short rest, he kicked out a group of his subordinates and asked them to hand over their credentials, inquire about the news, and collude with the doors.

He also knew that his every move was under the nose of the enemy, and the reason why he was so fanfare was not really to find anything, but to tell everyone who was looking at him openly and secretly...... I'm Qin Lei here!
