That is, Zhang Fei is a person who practices martial arts, although he was born with five big and three thick, but he is also extremely agile, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he jumped up half a zhang high, and grabbed a protruding stone on the rock wall.

Liu Ze could see clearly, the mule jumped and jumped, the rotten plank road could no longer hold on, and the supporting wooden pillar fell down with the mule and Zhang Fei. Fortunately, Zhang Fei reacted quickly and jumped up and grabbed a stone so that he didn't fall. Liu Ze hurriedly threw the rope to Zhang Fei and shouted, "Next!" ”

Under the pull of Liu Ze and Guan Hai, Zhang Fei quickly climbed up from below. The situation just now was really dangerous, and even Guan Hai looked pale, but Zhang Fei happily patted the soil on his body, not caring at all.

Liu Ze couldn't help but be a little angry: "Brother Xian, you just don't listen to persuasion, how dangerous it was just now, if you really fall, you will definitely be broken!" ”

Zhang Fei didn't care, and said, "It's okay, with my skills, is it so easy to fall?" However, this plank road is too unsturdy, and it collapsed a lot at this point of vibration. Hey, big brother, this plank road has collapsed, what can we do on the return trip? ”

The collapse just now caused a chain reaction, and all the plank roads of hundreds of meters collapsed, but fortunately, the support under Liu Ze's feet was relatively strong, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liu Ze said helplessly: "Let's go forward, and I'll find a way when I go back." "After counting the losses, a total of five mules fell off the cliff, but fortunately there were no casualties, and the losses were not too large.

After the Sword Pavilion, it is the Chengdu Plain of Pingchuan. After passing through Zitong and Fuxian, passing through Mianzhu, we arrived at the destination of this trip - Chengdu. After entering the city, Liu Ze immediately sold iron farm tools in the market.

Because Liu Ze's farm tools are of excellent quality and the price is relatively fair (Liu Ze is anxious to get rid of it, the price set is two or three times lower than the local price in Chengdu, but it is also three or four times higher than the price in Luoyang), which attracted many onlookers, and nearly one-third of it was sold on the same day. On the second day, the news spread, and the farmers in the suburbs also rushed over, and Liu Ze stipulated that if there was no cash, it could be exchanged for Shu brocade, which was a hot transaction, and within three days, all the iron tools were sold out, and even the farmers who had rushed from other counties did not buy them.

Liu Ze arranged for Jian Yong and Zhang Fei to be responsible for the sales of ironware, and he took Guan Hai to immediately start the acquisition of Shu Jin. Due to the cut off of the road to Chang'an, Shu brocade has been a large number of unsalable, and the price has plummeted, more than last year. Therefore, the acquisition of Shu brocade is easier than the sale of ironware, Liu Ze listed the purchase of Shu brocade, and the people queuing up for the brocade were at least three streets away, from morning to night, endlessly. Liu Ze asked the guys to strictly control the quality, and only accept high-grade Shu brocade, and no medium and inferior ones will be accepted.

By the third day, all the iron tools had just been sold out, and the acquisition of Shu brocade had come to an end. Liu Ze even sold the nearly 100 Qin mules at a low price, and all the money in exchange for Shu brocade was purchased.

Looking at the mountains of Shu brocade, Zhang Fei's head was big, and he asked Liu Ze how to transport Shu brocade out of Chengdu, Liu Ze smiled and said nothing. On the fourth day, Liu Ze took off the brand of buying Shu brocade, and there was an uproar in the market, and the people in line sighed, and there were also scolding, making a mess, Liu Ze had to say sorry in a high place, because the number of acquisitions was full and no longer acquired, promising to buy again next year, everyone sighed for a while, and finally dispersed. Then Liu Ze went straight to the dock.

The wharf in Chengdu is located on the edge of the Minjiang River, and all the boatmen shook their heads when they heard that Liu Ze was going to Jiangling. Liu Ze asked why, but no one dared to cross the dangerous shoals of the Gorge River. The Xiajiang River referred to by the boatmen is the Three Gorges composed of Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge east of the White Emperor. Liu Ze has been to the Three Gorges, but the Three Gorges has long been connected by heaven and water, and the smoke and waves are vast, but before the Three Gorges Dam was completed, the Three Gorges were indeed known for their dangers, but it was not a matter of luck for thousands of years to sail the Three Gorges, otherwise there would not be the famous sentence that Li Bai Dynasty resigned the White Emperor and returned the famous sentence of thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day. It's just that no one dares to try, and it feels mysterious.

An old boatman told Liu Ze that if he wanted to cross the Xiajiang, he needed to find Boss Bai, but he was the only one who had the courage and had crossed the Xiajiang several times. Under the guidance of the old boatman, Liu Ze found Boss Bai.

Knowing that Liu Ze was going to Jiangling and asked for twenty boats, Boss Bai agreed, but the boat price was undoubtedly sky-high, and one ship alone was 50,000 yuan, and Liu Ze did not make a counteroffer. However, when Liu Ze carried a piece of Shu brocade on the ship, the white boss with a sinking face still opened his mouth in surprise, he had transported a lot of goods, but it was really the first time to transport Shu brocade, because no merchant dared to gamble with such expensive items.

Boss Bai reminded Liu Ze that the chance of crossing the Gorge River without capsizing is less than fifty percent, and you have to have the courage to get on the boat.

Liu Ze smiled: "How many times have you flipped the boat?" ”

Boss Bai was silent for a moment and said, "My three brothers all died in Xiajiang. ”

"Then you still dare to cross the Gorge River? Haven't you been afraid? ”

"The waves lick the blood, the waves make money, only this route is the most profitable. What fear do we who sail in the boat fear that we will eventually die in the water? ”

In the early morning of the next day, 20 boats loaded with Shu brocade sailed away from the Chengdu wharf, and the wind and water were smooth, and they marched towards the southeast in a mighty way. The wind and waves were calm all the way, the boat traveled on the river, day and night, and it only took four or five days to reach the White Emperor City. When twilight fell, Boss Bai ordered all the boatmen to come to the shore together.

Zhang Fei wondered, "Why don't you leave tonight?" ”

Boss Bai said from afar: "There is the Xiajiang River in front, I don't dare to cross it at night, and I need to wait for dawn before I can take a boat." ”

Liu Ze stood at the bow of the boat, although it was a May day, there was still a trace of chill blowing from the river wind, the night was vast, and there were only a few faint lights in the distance. Is this the White Emperor City? Is this the place where Liu Bei, the first emperor of Shu Han, finally died? In the current history, if there is one more self, can he change the trajectory of history? Liu Ze smiled bitterly and sighed softly, the future is really a mystery. "White Emperor, White Emperor, White ......" He couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't this a white word?" ”

Gaozu beheaded the White Snake uprising and won the world, Emperor Guangwu raised troops from Baishui Village, but Liu Bei died in the White Emperor city, and the rise and fall of the Han family was inseparable from the white character. Liu Bei was burned by Lu Xun in Yiling for 700 miles, and returned defeated, losing two brothers who were like siblings, 700,000 troops were wiped out, and the dream of recovering the Han dynasty was completely shattered. But he still can't let go, after all, there is still the Shu Han court in the southwest corner, and there is a Adou who makes him worry-free, and the only thing he can do now is to win Zhuge Liang's heart, let him assist Adou, who is not angry, a sentence "If the heir can be supplemented, then supplemented, if not assisted, you can take it yourself" made Zhuge Liang loyal to his life, it can be seen that Liu Bei's mastery of people is really perfect.

"If you can supplement it, you can't supplement it......" Liu Ze whispered this sentence repeatedly, and he seemed to have realized something from it.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Boss Bai ordered the shipwrights to inspect the ships and reinforce the goods, and everyone looked solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy. After breakfast, he set sail and headed east.

A red sun rose from the east, and the mountains were stacked and undulating, and the river narrowed abruptly, and the river lost its calm and began to roar.

Boss Bai pointed to the front and said to Liu Ze and the others: "The front is the entrance of the Xiajiang River, if we are lucky, we can go to Jiangling City tonight." "Boss Bai only said that he had good luck, he didn't say that he would catch up with bad luck, so he could only feed fish and shrimp in the Three Gorges.

Liu Ze handed Boss Bai a roll of silk cloth and said: "This is the route map of the Xiajiang River, which is marked in detail where there are dangers and where there are reefs, and you order the fleet to sail according to the red line, and you can cross the Xiajiang River safely." ”

Boss Bai watched it for a long time, and was stunned, he had been crawling on the Gorge River for many years, and even barely found a channel leading to the Guò Gorge River at the cost of countless lives, even if he had sailed the Gorge River for many years, the probability of success was only fifty percent, but the waterway map that Liu Ze gave him was too shocking to him, most of the dangerous shoals and reefs marked on it were known to him, and they had made him pay the price of blood and tears, and there were many dangers that he did not know, after all, the Gorge River was nearly a thousand miles, and the danger was always accompanied. He didn't doubt the authenticity of this chart, but he really couldn't think of why Liu Ze knew more about the Xiajiang River than him, and it was impossible for him to draw such a detailed chart based on his age and experience.

It's too late for Bai Lao to think about it, the surging Yangtze River roars and rushes towards Kuimen, the peaks on both sides of the bank are like cutting, straight down, just like there is a sharp sword in the sky to split the Chijia Baiyan Mountain in half, the river surface is less than dozens of zhang wide, and the turbulent river water is wrapped in waves and falls the cliff wall, hitting up a thousand waves.

Boss Bai calmed down and commanded the fleet to flow along Guò Kuimen, which was the first dangerous pass and the entrance to Qutang Gorge, where the Qianli Gorge River began.

Liu Ze was calm, comfortable, poetic, and Li Bai's poem came out of his mouth: "Between the colorful clouds of the White Emperor of the court, thousands of miles of Jiangling are returned in one day, the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains." "But this time no one cheered, how did Jian Yong, who was born in the north, see this stormy sea, his face was pale, and his whole body was trembling, Zhang Fei and Guan Hai, who were brave and resolute on the land, and were not afraid of heaven and earth, were also heavy at this time, and did not say a word.

Boss Bai was engrossed, sailed according to the red line in the waterway map given by Liu Ze, avoided countless dangerous shoals and reefs, and went all the way smoothly, passing through Qutang, passing through Wuxia, and going straight down to Xiling.
