In the greeting and send-off of 10,000 people at Taicang Wharf, the expedition fleet officially embarked on the journey.

Going down the Yangtze River, the fleet sailed very fast, directly crossing the three national roads of Gyeonggi Province, Hedong Province, and Nandugi Province of Hebei Province, passing through Bozhou, Jinzhou, Zhengzhou, and then stopping at Luoyang to rest, replenishing a larger amount of food and materials and then continuing to set off, rushing all the way along the Yellow River, Huazhou, Qizhou, Dizhou, and reaching the mouth of Cangzhou.

When the ship was about to arrive in Cangzhou, it began to slow down, after all, the steam engine of some ships was started on the road, and the effect was very good, there was a steam engine for the ship, and the speed of the ship was more than three times faster than that of the sailboat, and the speed of galloping on the river was eye-catching.

Niu Jinda sat in the captain's room of the main ship of 'Hongyun', and on the table was a super-large nautical drawing specially printed by Xu Yang, and the details were staggering.

There were two honeycomb coal stoves next to him, Xu Yang was boredly swiping his mobile phone on the side, and there were still Wei Chi Baolin and Cheng Chumo waiting for the captain of the fleet in the room.

Xu Yang is very boring, at the beginning of the boat there is still some novel feeling, every time standing on the bow of the boat can see the lively people on both sides of the strait, although there is no luxury when the Taicang Wharf farewell, there is also a lot of excitement for the people, after all, in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of large fleet is very difficult to see, in the eyes of the Tang people who live within ten miles around their home in their lives, this large fleet seems to be the gods and Buddhas descending from heaven as grand.

Began to look at the novelty, after watching it for two days, there was no excitement, Xu Yang sullenly got back into the cabin, and began to miss Chang'an, and he didn't know if the enrollment of Nanshan Academy could pass the test, Li Gang Can they teach the students modern education well, the books have been printed for them, and I hope that when I go back, the academy will not let me down.

"Now it has been seventeen days in a row, more than half a month, according to the plan, arrived at the mouth of Cangzhou, where the fleet tiger has a final rest, and when the destroyer that went to explore the way sails back, it will head towards Lingnan, do you have any objections?" Niu Jinda suddenly said angrily, attracting everyone to the past.

Niu Jinda looked around and saw that no one had any questions, so he said, "Okay, then let's say so, dismiss the meeting." ”

Xu Yang was about to go out, when Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin walked over, approached Xu Yang's ear and whispered: "Big brother, I heard that you were in Youzhou when you first logged in to Datang?" ”

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Brothers, I've heard that Youzhou is amazing now, can we go and have a look?" Cheng Chumo said a little excitedly.

"This?" Xu Yang paused, "We are in important positions now, isn't it a bit bad to be casual?" ”

When Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin heard this, they were immediately like deflated balls, and the voyage for half a month also made them feel extremely boring, but seeing that the eldest brother didn't seem to have any intention of going, they didn't dare to leave their posts without permission.

"But I do want to go back to Youzhou to have a look." Xu Yang touched his chin and said

Xu Yang, the general of the left guard, Cheng Chumo, the general of the right guard, and the three pioneer generals went to Youzhou on the grounds of taking the secret treasure of the Ghost Valley.

Niu Jinda seems to believe in this reason, but since it is the secret treasure of the Ghost Valley, he can't say anything, fortunately, Youzhou is only a day's journey from Cangzhou, riding a fast horse, it only takes half a day to arrive, the fleet wants to stay in Cangzhou for three days, so he ordered several generals to take a lot of guards and go straight to Youzhou.

Cheng Chumo had slight symptoms of seasickness, and this time he got off the boat, like a wild horse on the loose, wearing a black bear jacket, galloping on the horse.

"It's really uncomfortable for a man to stand in the world and step on the earth, and always take a boat." This is Chu Mo's original words, and Yu Chi Baolin and the others always laugh at Chu Mo for being a landlubber.

Xu Yang doesn't know how to ride a horse, to be precise, he has a deep fear of riding a horse, and he left sequelae in Youzhou, looking at the people who were bumping on the back of a tall horse, Xu Yang was afraid of them, if they fell down, it would be worse than the car accident in the future.

So Xu Yang had no choice but to take a carriage and change to the lightest carriage, a three-horse horse-drawn carriage, which also galloped towards Youzhou.

The cement county road in Youzhou has now been repaired to Cangzhou, and the carriage is running on the cement road without the bumps of the past, Xu Yang looked at the barren scenery outside the window, and sighed in his heart, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it has been almost a year since he came to Datang.

What happened in this year was like the next day, and the life of the Tang people had been deeply integrated into their own lives, and they had almost lost sight of the appearance of their parents, as well as their wives, relatives and friends, all of them, turned into a lock in the deepest part of their memories, and no one could unlock them.

Xu Yang closed his eyes, the wind outside the window was still deeply cold, Liu Qi was very worried and asked carefully: "Master Hou, it's windy outside, do you want to close the curtain?" ”

Xu Yang opened his eyes, the mountain in front of him was so familiar, all the plants planted in the ground had been dug up, and this plain was the place he had crossed, shaking his head slightly, Xu Yang planned to take a closer look at the Tang Dynasty in front of him.

The carriage was running fast, surrounded by dozens of soldiers on horseback, who were all escorting Xu Yang to the secret treasure of the Ghost Valley.

"Master Hou, there are still ten miles ahead to Youzhou City." Outside the carriage window, a subordinate lieutenant came in.

"Hmm." Xu Yang snorted lightly, he knew it.

The horses' hooves trampled, the mountains and rivers were bleak, and the border Youzhou once again appeared in everyone's field of vision, only to see that on the tower in the high city, there was a 'Tang' flag dancing in the cold wind.

Xu Yang looked at the black masonry in the distance, this feeling was so familiar, the Youzhou City Gate of Nanuoda was open to everyone, as heavy and vicissitudes as ever.

Seeing a group of cavalry rushing towards him, there was a commotion at the city gate, and then I saw that there was a person wearing an officer's uniform on the city tower who personally led dozens of people out of the city to greet him, the reason was that the armor Xu Yang and the others were wearing were all civilian clothes and armor of the Tang Xuanjia Army, which was obviously more than three times higher than these Youzhou sergeants.

A group of cavalry went out of the city, and the middle-aged man in an officer's uniform led by him rode forward and said, "This official Youzhou Captain Deng Pingchang, I don't know where you officers came from?" "He turned out to be a school captain.

Cheng Chumo stepped forward immediately, took out the tiger talisman from his arms, and said, "Cheng Chumo, the right guard of the Tang fleet." ”

After the captain turned out to be a tiger talisman and verified his true body, he hugged his fists and said: "The general came, but he missed the distance, I don't know what happened to the general?" Xia Guan is also good to lead the way. ”

Cheng Chu said silently: "This is a secret in the army, don't make a noise." ”

The lieutenant muttered, "Your Majesty obeys the order." He didn't interrogate everyone, but took people up to the city tower to continue to defend the city.

Everyone entered Youzhou City without hindrance, and as soon as they entered the city, Cheng Chumo, Yu Chi Baolin and a few of them let out a burst of exclamations. RS
