Zhu Bi is worthy of being an old oilman, touching people's hearts very thoroughly, he immediately came to the door to ask for peace, not waiting for Zhao Ta to speak, has already sent the gang to the door to ask Zhao Ta to fall, and he also immediately arranged for someone to repair and redecorate the damaged boat, of course, the cost was not mentioned, but the repair "ticket" was handed over to Jianxi. He had to personally inquire about the prince's eating, drinking, and withdrawal, and he was simply meticulous and properly arranged. Follow the prince to travel to the subordinate officials, down to the sailors, Zhu Bi sent red envelopes to show condolences, went to the street to eat, drink and have fun, and even found a young lady to pay for all the expenses.

Zhao Ta lived in Changzhou for five days, the ship has been repaired, repainted, from the post house to the wharf for a short period of time, has been blocked through the wind and rain, the wharf is also crowded with people, Changzhou prefect rate officials, the city sergeant Shen, the old man send-off, they are sending Qin to move to Suzhou, but Zhao Ta knows that all this is from the hands of Zhu Bi.

"Everyone, please come back!" Zhao Ta got on the boat, stood on the deck, and waved goodbye to the crowd of people who saw him off.

"Congratulations to Prince Yan!" With the roar of the ceremonial officer, the people on the dock knelt down, and Zhao Ta, who was high up, suddenly had a feeling of fluttering immortals, but he quickly sobered up, and sighed in his heart that it was no wonder that people with a little power were willing to stand in front of him, review the honor guard, and those who did not have the main table had to move a chair to stand on it, this kind of taste of dominating the world was too fascinating.

In the sound of the sailor's horn, the ship slowly sailed away from the dock, raised the sails and set sail, there were two more tall passenger ships in the fleet, this time the road became the Changzhou prefect's boat, Zhu Bi's ship was behind, Suizhou observer, raised the Jiangnan should be the bureau of "Zhu, the word flag fluttering in the wind." It is really the shadow of the famous tree of the people, all the boats on the river, regardless of the officials and the people, only to see the boat immediately pull over from the side, and the prefectures and counties along the way also sent people to greet and send them off, "When you arrive at the place, you will change it, just like the handover of the shift, and the emperor may not be able to go on patrol."

After half a day, a fleet of ships from afar came up quickly, waving flags, and the deck was full of armored soldiers, swords and guns were shining, shining with cold light, and the ship in front of the "prince" was full of heavily armed soldiers! Jianxi, who had nothing to admire the river view, said.

Zhao Ta took the telescope handed to him by Jianxi and looked out of the cabin, the bow of the ship in front of him was low and the tail was high, the front was large and the back was small, and there were balancing floats on both sides of the ship, like the wings of a water bird, "The whole boat looks like a sea falcon gliding on the water." This is a sea falcon warship, and Zhao Ta immediately made a judgment from the appearance of the ship, which he had seen in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts".

The sea falcon warship first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty reformed him, the two sides of the ship were equipped with iron plates, and the bow was equipped with sharp ramming angles, which were used to ram the enemy ship, the length of the ship was ten zhang, the width was one zhang eight feet, and the depth was eight feet five inches. There are five branches on both sides, which can carry one hundred and eight soldiers and forty-two sailors, belonging to small and medium-sized warships, common to rivers and seas, and are a kind of warships with strong structure and strong combat effectiveness, and can be regarded as standing at the top of the food chain in this big river.

The observation posts set up on the ship had already spotted the warship, but they did not avoid it like other ships, "but let Zhu Bi's boat pass by, and rushed towards them in a daze," he immediately raised the alarm. Immediately the whistle sounded, and a flag was issued to inform the rear ship, and after a few breaths, the guards on the two ships, except for those who had a task, had rushed out of the cabin in full gear and assembled on the deck. As he spoke, the four Sea Falcons turned around on the river, "Divided into two rows of wild goose wings, and occupied the two wings, sandwiching the Chinchaza ship in the middle."

Although they didn't know what kind of ship they were coming from, and they didn't know what their intentions were, the guards didn't dare to slack off, and immediately occupied their respective positions according to the plan in advance, and watched their next move vigilantly.

The warships did not report the number, but with the convoy driving, the soldiers on the ship were out of their sheaths, and from time to time they struck the shields in unison, and one of the warships relied on the small speed of the ship to break into the fleet several times, close to the Qinchaza ship, and every time they saw that the two ships were about to collide, they suddenly turned the rudder and left, not like they wanted to board the ship, but as if they were looking for trouble without trouble.

"Report to Dutou, it has been ascertained that the ship is a military ship from the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, and they claim to be here to escort the Qinchazao ship!" The herald contacted several times with the flag before the other party responded, and he reported to the security commander Zhao Yuyong. …,

"Hmph, they're showing us something!" Zhao Yuyong knew that the prince of the Dao Dao and the Zhu family had a grudge, and he wanted to give them a dismount when he saw the other party's momentum, "Order, all the guards on the deck line up, show some momentum, if anyone is a grass chicken, I will starve him for three days when I go back!" “

"Yes!" The herald immediately conveyed Zhao Yuanyong's order and lined up to stand on the side. The requirements of the sailor's standing side are no different from the army's standing posture, but the ship is constantly shaking when moving on the water, while the standing side requires the sailors to be nailed to the side of the ship like a fierce nail without any support. Cheng Beishou often runs on the sea, how can he not see the doorway, knowing that the other party wants to rely on the crowd of people and the ship to press more on his side, he immediately ordered the boat to go to the upper deck except for the helmsman, oarsmen and necessary guards.

The guards wore silver-gray military uniforms, half-body leather armor, palm-wide armed belts around their waists, horizontal knives behind their backs, and big red heads, and their hands straddled behind their backs, with a formidable majesty. Although Cheng Beishou's sailors did not have military uniforms, they were all white silk shoulders, soap-colored trousers, carrying Fusang long knives behind their backs, and a short knife diagonally inserted in the big red girdle, and their majesty was not weaker than that of the guards.

"What are they going to do?" Seeing the soldiers and sailors on the ship of Qinchazao, they suddenly lined up and stood on both sides of the board with murderous spirit, sitting on the warship, Zhu Rugong asked in surprise. He received an order from Zhu Bi yesterday to send a ship to meet Qincha, this kid had just been reprimanded the day before, and he was angry in his heart, thinking that he would just give Qincha a dismount, so he lit up five hundred elites among the private soldiers and divided them into four warships.

"Young Master, they are on guard, but why are they silent, as if they are not afraid of us?" The leader of the private soldiers on the same boat looked at it, but he couldn't get it for sure.

"Cut, let our sons and daughters stand up for me, don't let this group of landlubbers from the north compare, I want to see how long they can last!" Zhu Rugong looked at the soldiers on the Qinchazao boat with their heads held high, and the dignified and solemn soldiers felt very uncomfortable, as if something was pressing on their chests.

The people on both sides are so energetic, Zhao Ta's personal guard standing posture has been training since the first day of enlistment, and it is now a daily necessity, they have lived on the ship for two months, and they have adapted to the life on the ship, and this shaking basically has no effect on them. Most of the soldiers who should be served in the bureau were born on the water and grew up on the boat, and the boat is their home, so they are naturally not afraid! But the two bigwigs in the cabin seemed to know nothing, they should drink tea and tea, they should play chess and chess, and they acquiesced to this behavior.

It was the hot weather of June, and it was noon, and a group of people "carried forward the traditional virtue of not fighting for steamed buns and fighting for breath, standing motionless under the sun, looking at each other, without giving in, huge beads of sweat flowed down the sideburns to the neck, and then converged into a stream on the back, dripping on the board of the boat along the trouser legs," squeaked, and the sound instantly turned into a puff of white gas! An hour has passed, the two groups of people have not yet decided the winner, God can't stand it, his face changed instantly, the wind is howling, the dark clouds are rolling, the waves on the river are rolling, the black waves are the same color as the sky, and after a while, the heavy rain mixed with the big hail of chestnuts crackled down and smashed down, and the guards of the palace watched the opponent get into the cabin in embarrassment at the cost of a blue nose and swollen face!

The ship arrived outside Suzhou, and the Xidong transfer envoy led the local officials in Suzhou, and relevant people from various departments and bureaus in Suzhou greeted the Qincha and his party at the wharf. After each other's cold, Zhu's father and son seemed to not know what was happening on the way, and casually led the distinguished guests to transfer to the painting voyage, enter the water city, walk through the streets, and enjoy the Suzhou city after the rain. Zhao Tan came to Suzhou for business in his previous life, although he tried every means to protect and rebuild, the buildings of the Song Dynasty were rare, and now he sees the original scenery of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the river in the city of Suzhou is vertical and horizontal, running through the market, arched stone bridge, if the rain after the rainbow. The front of the house faces the street and alley, the back pillow is the clear river, the pink wall river shadow, and the green window reflects the clear water. The beautiful girl sits by the window, the fan half covers her face, and occasionally shows her face and smiles, which is enough to make the harem pink and colorless, a good ink painting of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, if it is preserved to a thousand years later, no one will go all the way to see the water city Venice!

"Lord Wang, there are many garden features in Suzhou, far better than the capital!". Zhu Bi saw that the prince was fascinated, and immediately stepped forward to show his style as an architectural design master, and explained: "Jiangnan Water Town, known for its waterscapes, first of all, is the stacked stone water, water and stone reflect each other, it is the main scene of the garden, the exquisite and colorful Taihu Lake strange stones, planted in the garden: secondly, there are many kinds of flowers and trees in the south of the Yangtze River, and many strange flowers and rare trees, Buni has a law, and it can also become a scene: and then there is a garden style that is elegant, simple, and can best stretch the feelings of the literati. The layout is self-sufficient, the building is exquisite, the hall is arranged at will, the structure is not formal, the method is natural, and the freehand landscape ........."

"It's a good place, no wonder when he left Beijing, his father repeatedly told the king to pay more attention and study hard, it seems that the king wants to be more nostalgic here!" Zhao Tazhi said that the Song Dynasty was a weak and elegant era, and the thoughts and feelings had gradually turned cold from the enthusiasm and unrestrainedness of the Tang Dynasty to restrain their feelings, so the cultural mentality of the Chinese literati and their entire people at that time had the characteristics of "introverted, introverted, and manifested in the architecture is not to seek its grandeur, but the spiritual symbolism has a deep and broad meaning, and the design of the garden has become more exquisite, lacking that magnificent momentum, but the beautiful scenery in front of him still makes him intoxicated!

Seeing the obsessive appearance of the prince, the Zhu father and son looked at each other and smiled (to be continued.)
