The river passes away, the mountains are beautiful and colorful, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the beauty of the scenery makes people sigh.

A light boat went down the river, the surface of the river was very calm, under the sun, sparkling, Chu Huan stood at the head of the boat, looking at the mountains on the shore, only to feel a beautiful air rushing to his face.

The momentum of the mountains inside the gate is obviously different from that outside the gate, the outside of the gate is majestic, steep and steep, but the mountain scenery in the eyes at this time is unusually beautiful, and beside Chu Huan, there is Ximen Yi in a brocade suit.

Ximen Yi usually looks very sloppy, but when he puts on a new outfit and wears a hat and crown, he really has a bit of an elegant scribe's atmosphere, standing beside Chu Huan at this time, pointing to the distance and saying: "That side is the world's famous fairy peak, beautiful and graceful, walking on the Qiong River, if you don't look at the fairy peak, it will be in vain." ”

Chu Huan knew that Ximen Yi had traveled all over the world and knew everything about the places of interest in the world, so he nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "As Mr. said, it is indeed beautiful." He glanced at Ma Zheng next to him and said with a smile: "Ma Zheng, you have to take a good look, there are not many opportunities like this." ”

Ma Zheng looked up, shook his head and said, "Boss Li, I think it's normal and I can't see the clues." ”

Chu Huan laughed, but at this time, he thought in his heart, although this Qiong River is called a river, but the river is wide, not narrower than many rivers, and the river on both sides of the river is condescending, if there is no wharf, it is not easy to dock.

The Qionghe wharf was controlled by the Jinling army, if the wharf was heavily defended, it would be difficult to land, and the Jinling army had a naval army, if it could not defeat the Jinling naval army, it would be a fool's dream to capture Jinling Cang.

The boat is walking on the river, but at the moment it is walking between the Wu Gorge.

Chu Huan did not delay in Tongzhou because of King Qi's trouble, for him, King Qi was not a threat at all, and after ordering King Qi to be placed under house arrest, Tongzhou was handed over to Pei Ji to take care of, and he followed Ximen Yi to Jinling Mansion Chengweiling Mansion.

Ximen Yi went to Weiling Mansion to form an alliance with Xu Chang on behalf of the Northwest Army, and Chu Huan and his party were dressed in disguise, pretending to be an entourage to follow them, in addition to Chu Huan, Ma Zheng also followed his peers, and in addition, there were five carefully selected warriors.

The white blind man has been in Shuoquan, and was arranged by Chu Huan to protect his family, and Qiu Ruxue is contacting the heroes of the rivers and lakes everywhere, secretly forming a shadow army for Chu Huan, responsible for collecting intelligence for the Northwest Army.

Originally, when going out, these subordinates from the rivers and lakes were the most suitable, but now people don't get together, and Ma Zheng is barely competent, and he is on the side.

Chu Huan is famous, and now that he has left Tongzhou, he naturally can't leak his identity lightly, but he just accompanies him as the captain of the guard next to Ximen Yi, and he uses the pseudonym Li Yin, so that everyone calls him "Boss Li" on weekdays.

On the third day, approaching the Qionghe wharf, everyone became more cautious, and along the way, there were very few boats and boats, Chu Huan knew that this was because the Qionghe River was blocked, and it was difficult for boats to pass through.

Jinling is located in the middle of the Great Qin Empire, with beautiful mountain ranges, streams flowing in the middle, beautiful mountains and clear waters, constituting a unique Jinling style.

The climate of Jinling is the most livable, and Weiling Mansion has always been the most prosperous city in Jinling Road, so many dignitaries and nobles will prepare industrial wealth in Jinling, and the officials of Zhishi have two places to settle down the most, either to stay in the capital to spend their old age, or to move to Jinling, and live in the beautiful Weiling Mansion to live in the beautiful mountains and rivers to live in the old age.

"If you go ashore from the Qionghe Wharf and pass through Jinling Cang, you can go directly to Weiling Mansion, which is only a three-day journey at most." Ximen Yi said: "Weiling Mansion is on the bank of the Huijiang River, but this time they will definitely not let us go ashore, if nothing else, we have to go down the Qiong River, and there will be three more days before we can go around the circle and turn into the Huijiang River, then it will take three or four days, and the land route will be half faster than the water route." ”

"Jinling Cang is tightly guarded, even ordinary people can't enter, let alone us." Chu Huan bowed slightly: "But after passing through the Qionghe Wharf, you should be able to see the Jinling Naval Army, I would like to see what this naval army is like." ”

Chu Huan didn't expect it wrong, after walking for a long time, under the sun, he had already vaguely seen a black shadow in front of him, and when he got closer, he saw the mast like a forest, like countless spears towering in the sky, countless boats were all over the river in front of him, and a compelling momentum was coming.

"Boss, there's a boat coming!" Ma Zheng said in a deep voice.

Chu Huan had also seen at this time that a fast boat was going upstream, coming this way, the ship was not very big, but Chu Huan clearly saw that on the bow of that ship, a giant bow and crossbow were erected.

Ximen Yi raised his hand and ordered the sailors on the boat to stop the boat, after the light boat stopped, the ship on the opposite side had quickly approached, although this warship was not huge, it was much smaller than the giant warship of the Huang family that Chu Huan saw in Anyi, but compared to the light boat he was on, it was much larger, and he could only look up.

Chu Huan made a color, Ma Zheng and the others had already pressed their hands on the saber, and stepped forward to protect Ximen Yi in the middle, but they also let the other party understand that the leader of this light boat was Ximen Yi.

"Where did the ship come from?" Before they got closer, someone on the big ship was already shouting: "Don't move, drop your weapons!" As he spoke, Chu Huan had already seen several soldiers appear on the bow of the ship, one of them holding a big knife in his hand, and one hand on the side of the bow of the ship, and asked loudly in a condescending voice.

Chu Huan had already arched his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, don't misunderstand, we are envoys sent by the King of Chu, and we want to go to Weiling Mansion to see King Ren!" ”

"Oh?" The man frowned and said, "You are the Northwest Army?" ”

Chu Huan thought in his heart, as soon as the other party heard "King Chu", he knew that this was a person from the Northwest Army, and it seemed that the matter of claiming the title of king spread very quickly, and even a Jinling Navy knew about it.

"Not bad." Chu Huan said loudly: "We were sent by the king of Chu to see that King Ren had a major matter to discuss, and asked the brothers to make a way." ”

At this time, the big ship had already come up, and someone had already thrown down the iron anchor from the side of the ship, and three or four iron anchors hooked the light boat, and the man had already said: "Don't move, put down your weapons first, don't be verbose." ”

Ma Zheng and the others were still hesitating, but they saw five or six archers appear on the side of the ship, bending their bows and arrows, aiming at the light boat, Ximen Yi saw this, raised his hand, and signaled everyone to put down their weapons, Ma Zheng and others saw Chu Huan put the saber on the deck first, and then dropped the weapons, the Jinling soldiers on the bow of the boat were very satisfied when they saw this, a rope ladder was lowered, and the man led five or six Jinling soldiers to the ship, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone to the bow of the ship!" ”

The light boat and several sailors also arrived at the bow of the boat, and Chu Huan had already smiled and said, "What is this brother called?" This is our Lord Ximen, the contemptible Li Yin, who is the captain of the guard. ”

The man saw Chu Huan and his face was pleasant, and said, "My name is Zhang Jian, and I am a hundred households in the navy!" He walked over, opened the tent in the cabin, looked inside, saw how many boxes were placed inside, and turned around and asked, "What's in the box?" ”

Chu Huan said: "Except for the supplies and food needed on the way, everything else is a gift that the King of Chu ordered us to give to the King of Ren. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Jian sneered: "Come on, open the box." ”

"Wait." Ximen Yi said in a deep voice: "Zhang Baihu, it is easy for you to open the box, but it is full of small gifts for Nioh, even we dare not open it lightly, if you see Nioh, he knows that you have opened the box in advance, I wonder if Nioh will be blamed at that time?" ”

Zhang Jian was stunned and hesitated.

Chu Huan beckoned and said softly, "Zhang Baihu, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhang Jian frowned at first, and then walked to the corridor on the side of the boat, Chu Huan walked over and said softly: "Zhang Baihu, the box is indeed a gift for King Ren, and I can also tell you that this time King Chu sent us to form a brotherly alliance with King Ren, once the matter is successful, you and I will be an army of brothers." Our Lord Simon has a very strange temper, and if you really anger him, when the time comes, you will say a few words in front of Nioh, and your brother may not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Zhang Jian sneered: "Are you threatening me? ”

"Nature is not a threat, but the truth." Chu Huan smiled and said: "If it were me, everyone would be harmonious, Zhang Baihu would be more respectful to Lord Ximen, and when the time comes, Lord Ximen will be in a good mood, help you say a few words, and King Ren may not reward Brother Zhang." ”

Zhang Jian groaned slightly, didn't say a word, returned to the bow of the boat, and bowed his hand to Ximen Yi: "Lord Ximen, where the responsibility is, please bear with me." General Tu has an order, without his permission, not a boat can pass through here, you wait here, I will go and report to General Tu first, if General Tu is allowed to go, we can let you leave. ”

He led his men to climb back to the big ship from the rope ladder, but the iron anchor was not withdrawn, and Zhang Jian shouted downward: "Lord Ximen, I have wronged you to wait, don't leave for the time being." ”

It didn't take long for Chu Huan to see a very small light boat put down from the big boat, and two Jinling soldiers jumped down from the boat and rowed a small boat to the Qionghe wharf, while the big boat did not move.

Chu Huan then asked Ximen Yi to go back to the cabin to wait, and the two played a game of chess in the cabin, but after a little while, they saw that Ma was lifting the curtain outside and said inside: "My lord, they are here!" ”

Ximen Yi was the first to get out of the cabin, Chu Huan followed, but saw Zhang Jian standing on the bow of the boat, seeing Ximen Yi come out, Zhang Jian's attitude was different from before, obviously much more respectful, and arched his hand: "Lord Ximen, General Tu has an order, and the order is ordered to escort you to Weiling Mansion to meet King Ren, and the land route is not passable, so you can only be wronged to go by water." ”

Ximen Yi said: "As far as I know, it takes a few more days to walk from the waterway, why do you have to go far? Are you still worried that we will not be able to snoop on some secrets? ”

Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "The general's order, don't dare to disobey." However, the general was also afraid of delaying the trip, so he allocated a fast boat to deliver people. Turning around, he pointed to a boat that was coming this way: "My lord, please look, that ship is the fastest ship of my Jinling Navy, and within five days, it will be able to send your lord to Weiling Mansion!" ”R1058
