Chapter 650: Competing with the Boat
"Sect Master, that person is just a teenager, even if the water is good, what's the use? Besides, that salt patrol imperial history is Lin Ruhai, although the literary brilliance is outstanding, but in terms of political achievements, but so, I'm afraid that we can't stop our private salt trade at all, why should the sect leader worry?"
Inside, another voice said.
"What do you know? The new emperor ascended the throne, and immediately promoted this Lin Ruhai to the key position of patrolling the salt imperial history, his Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows, if you don't make measures as soon as possible, I am afraid that the arrangement of my sect in Yangzhou will be in vain!" said the so-called sect leader.
"What are you afraid of, there are those big businessmen in Yangzhou, there are our White Lotus Sect disciples, and there are so many people in the Salt Gang and the Trough Gang, what can a mere Lin Ruhai do? His son has a good water nature, can he take his Lao Tzu to escape from the water?" The voice was still unconvinced.
"You, you're too young and vigorous, how do you know how powerful the government is. If this Lin Ruhai used officialdom as a means to gather the power of the government, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, the power of our gangs would be collapsed in an instant. The sect leader said lightly.
"Then let's take the lead and slaughter this Lin Ruhai, even if he has the emperor's offerings by his side, his wife and children will always be unable to protect him, right?
"Hehe, don't you see this young man who is like a bird in the water, isn't it the son of Lin Ruhai? Is it easy for Cody to be a hostile person?"
The sect leader said slowly.
"That's true. The young and vigorous voice couldn't help but pause.
The sect leader said: "The old man came to see what people were worshiped around Lin Ruhai, but now it seems that he should pay attention to this young man in the water, Lin Zhao!
With that, he stepped out of the cabin, walked to the stern, stepped into a small boat behind him, untied the reins, took the oars, and with a light stroke, the boat rowed forward like an arrow from a string.
At this time, Lin Zhao had already arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River, because he was only wearing shorts and his upper body was bare, so it was naturally inconvenient to go ashore, so he turned over and swam to the south bank.
Just as he swam to the middle, a small boat passed by Lin Zhao's side, and an old man on the boat was sitting on the bow of the boat, carrying a wine jug to drink slowly, and when he saw Lin Zhao crossing the Yangtze River in the storm, he applauded loudly: "What a white strip in the waves! Young man, why don't you come up and have a drink?"
Lin Zhao turned his head and glanced at the old man on the boat, only to see that he was tall, dressed in a green shirt, his beard was thick and black as ink, his appearance was handsome, and he had a kind of boldness and righteousness between his words.
"Thank you, old man, but you can drink wine at any time, but the interest of crossing the Yangtze River is not always there. ”
Lin Zhao laughed, glanced at the old man on the boat, and a trace of understanding flashed in his heart.
This old man breathes evenly, his breath is long, and he sits on the bow of the boat like a mountain, with the atmosphere of a grandmaster.
must be a martial arts master.
And he is a martial arts master with a big identity.
"Now that I'm going to Yangzhou, I'm also a Yanei, if I can get to know some well-known Jianghu reckless, and gather a few of their children to be my helpers, it will help me make a career in Yangzhou!"
At this time, the boat was moving down the river, and it was about to distance itself from Lin Zhao, the old man stretched out his palm and patted it lightly on the boat, the speed of the boat slowed down, he reached out to hold the oars on both sides, shook it slowly, and said with a smile: "Old man Dong Qianli, little brother, what do you call it?"
Lin Zhao said: "I'm Lin Zhao!"
Dong Qianli laughed and said: "Lin Zhao, good name! I won't tell you, the old man originally planned to go down the river, but when he saw you crossing the Yangtze River like this, he couldn't help but have the heart of competition." ”
"The old gentleman really has a thousand miles of ambition, do you plan to come down and compete with me?" Lin Zhao said with a smile.
"Hahaha...... , the old man is old, I'm afraid I can't keep up with you in the water, I can only rely on the oars in my hands, and the boat under my feet, I don't know if the little brother wants to try with me to see who can get to the other side of the Yangtze River first!"
Lin Zhao was overjoyed: "Okay, being able to compete with a gentleman is also a joy in life." ”
When he sank into the water and swam forward quickly, the old man paddled his oars and chased after him at a rapid pace.
Lin Zhao crossed the Yangtze River at the beginning, but he was only proud in his chest, and he had no desire to win. However, since there is a senior master with sufficient breath who takes the initiative to come up and compete with him, there is naturally no reason to admit defeat.
Dong Qianli on the boat applauded loudly: "The young man is so watery!"
Talking in his mouth, paddling his oars with both hands, the hull of the boat was like a bird skimming the water, as if it was about to fly up from the water, and Lin Zhao went hand in hand, rushing to the other side of the Yangtze River.
Lin Zhao glanced sideways, and couldn't help laughing: "The old gentleman is so good!"
At this time, the river is clear and transparent, hundreds of boats compete for the current, the whole river has noticed the two of them competing, many people are applauding, many buildings in the water even slowed down, and even sailboats ripped off the sails, and even a lot of good deeds, far away to follow.
It's rare to see such a big scene, and everyone naturally wants to see who is better than these two.
And on the boat where the old man was before, several people stood in the cabin, watching the scene of the two fighting from a distance, and they all showed shocked looks.
Because they know that the old gentleman Dong Qianli, who is speeding in a boat, has reached a certain point with deep internal strength and high martial arts.
Even if he doesn't exert all his strength, he only rows the oars with seventy percent of his internal force, but he is afraid that no one on the rivers and lakes can catch up.
But the young man in the water in front of him, when he swam forward, he could still cheer loudly, showing that he was in a state of ease.
Doesn't this show that this Lin Zhao's internal strength is almost no less than that of their sect leader Dong Qianli?
Lin Ruhai's sons are so powerful, so isn't Lin Ruhai a super master?
If the other party arrives in Yangzhou and vigorously rectifies the salt business, won't the money bags in their sect collapse?
Just when everyone on the boat was worried, Dong Qianli on the boat laughed loudly, and the boat was a little faster in his laughter.
But no matter how fast he operated the boat, it was difficult to be much faster than Lin Zhao.
"Young man, if it weren't for your profound internal skills, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to swim so fast!" Dong Qianli sighed loudly.
"Old man, your internal skills are not bad, it is rare to be able to fight with me to this point!" Lin Zhao raised his head and echoed in the same voice.
The tone of his voice was relaxed, although there was a strong wind and waves, but the voice still reached Dong Qianli's ears, and he couldn't say it indifferently, as if he was talking in Dong Qianli's ear.
Dong Qianli's face was still proud, but his heart was shocked.
He originally thought that Lin Zhao was young, although his internal strength was not low, but there was always his limit, the initial speed may be extremely fast, but the slow true qi would not continue, and when the time came, he would slowly catch up with him and reach the riverside, Lin Zhao was arrogant and had an extraordinary background, Dong Qianli attached great importance to him, and he was unwilling to be an enemy with him, let alone hurt his face, so he decided to go ashore at the same time as him, and the two of them were the best regardless of victory or defeat.
But seeing that Lin Zhao's speed had not slowed down, and he was about to reach the south bank of the Yangtze River, he was still fast and did not stop.
Dong Qianli looked shocked, and said in his heart: "This son of the Lin family is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, even if he cultivates the inner family kung fu from his mother's womb, he shouldn't have such a deep internal strength, how did he do it?"
By this time, he no longer dared to act modestly.
Because if he can't catch up with Lin Zhao in the end, once it spreads, the dignified White Lotus Sect leader Dong Qianli will lose to the son of the Salt Patrol Imperial History, I am afraid that any ugly words on the rivers and lakes will come out, how can he Dong Qianli command the heroes in the future?
At that moment, he had enough internal strength, rowed his oars, and the ship was flying, chasing after Lin Zhao in a hurry, lest he fall behind.
But as they got closer and closer to the south bank, the gap between the two was getting bigger and bigger, almost ten zhang away.
Lin Zhao suddenly turned around and smiled: "Mr. Dong, do you want me to wait for you for a while." ”
"That's not necessary!"
When Dong Qianli said this, he smiled on his lips, but the indifference on his face had disappeared, and there seemed to be white gas coming out of his head, and when he sat down, the boat had already shot out like an arrow from the string, and it flew over a distance of ten zhang in an instant, and it had already reached Lin Zhao's side, and then the speed slowed down.
Lin Zhao laughed, swam forward slowly, and arrived at the shore with Dong Qianli almost at the same time, and the two laughed loudly at the same time.
This Dong Qianli laughed loudly on his face, but he was shocked in his heart: "And the second prince of Rongning led the troops to fight, and his military achievements were impressive, maybe he had peerless martial arts, and Lin Ruhai married the daughter of the second generation of Rongguo Gong, maybe this Lin Zhao has the ancestral inheritance, in this way, he is young and has such magical powers, which is understandable." ”
Lin Zhaoxin said: "At such an age, I could have won or lost, but he refused to admit defeat, it seems that there must be a big force behind him, and he can't afford to lose to me." If my guess is correct, I should pay attention to it. ”
Dong Qianli laughed out loud, and had already taken the opportunity to recover his internal strength, and said, "Young Master Lin, you are so good at cultivating!"
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "My predecessors can walk side by side with me, they are already a rare master in the rivers and lakes, and they must be famous heroes." ”
Of course, Dong Qianli knew that Lin Zhao was the son of a family, but of course he didn't know about the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, maybe even if he said that he was the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Lin Zhao on the other side would not take it to heart.
So he just smiled faintly: "It's just an old man drinking a glass of turbid wine on the river, Lin Gongzi, you and I hit it off at first sight, why don't you go and have a drink nearby?"
Lin Zhao's eyes flickered, and he pointed to the Lin Jiafu boat with only the long sail and distant shadow in the distance and said: "Elder, please, I didn't dare to resign, but my father and mother were waiting on the boat, and I had to tread water to catch up, so this glass of wine would not bother, he would have a fate, and he would get drunk with his predecessors." ”
Dong Qianli looked at the big ship and couldn't help but be shocked: "Lin Gongzi still has the strength to chase it?"
Lin Zhao laughed, stopped talking, bowed his hand slightly to Dong Qianli, turned over and re-entered the water, still like a bird passing by in the water, speeding towards the Lin family's big boat.
"After he and I competed with all our might, his speed was not seen at all! It seemed that he would soon be able to catch up with his big ship! This kind of internal skill attainment is no longer incredible, and it can be described! It is really extraordinary, extraordinary...... "Dong Qianli looked at the white line in the water, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
