Fang Clan let out a low groan, his body trembled violently, Ye Chang was also sad in his heart at this time, so he didn't hear anything strange from Fang Clan's words.

"Eleven Lang...... You are still young, don't go to Chang'an, please send someone to the sect chief. A moment later, Fang squatted on the ground and said again.

"It's okay, my own brother, if I don't go, who will?"

"Eleven Lang, you don't know what to do, Chang'an...... Chang'an, that's not a good place! ”

This time, Ye Chang finally realized that Chang'an should be a sad place for the Fang clan, and it was not just because of Ye Shu's matter.

At this time, Ye Chang had no intention of asking, but insisted: "Sister-in-law, my brother has an accident, and it is inconvenient to say in the letter about the cause and effect, I always have to ask there myself." I'm the younger brother of my brother, and I can't change that in any way, so I have to go. I have already told the patriarch that when I am not there, the patriarch will come here often, and if my sister-in-law has any difficulties, just tell him. In addition, I also asked Xiang'er and Chunming to go to my sister-in-law's side, my sister-in-law needs help with something, although he is young, he is also smart. ”

"Chunming, you still have it with you, you are alone outside, and someone has to take care of you."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have a friend to take care of me on this trip, it is the shopkeeper Qin, he is in Chang'an. And I won't mess around, I'm going this time to find out the news and welcome back...... Target. In addition, if there is anything, Chunming is too small, and if he can't help, he will be held back. ”

Fang Shi heard Ye Chang say in an orderly manner, she finally raised her eyes to look at Ye Chang, and found that her uncle's expression was unusually cold.

Indeed, it is a kind of coldness, like the ice and snow on the mountains in winter, which looks ordinary, but actually exudes a chill.

Ye Chang didn't say the rest of the comforting words, he felt that no matter how comforting he was, it was not as effective as action. On the second day, he handed over all the things here to Ye Dan, and he went on the road alone and went to Xiuwu County to meet Lin Xitan.

"Ye Langjun, when you go to Chang'an, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't delay on the way." Lin Xiqi contacted a caravan for him, and he followed the caravan to Chang'an.

He has always been rude, but at this time, he made such a delicate order, Ye Chang understood that even such a rough person could see that he was in a bad mood. He smiled reluctantly, nodded in gratitude, and urged his horse to follow the caravan.

The horse that Qin Qinshou gave him became his substitute for this trip.

From Xiuwu to Chang'an, there are two roads to take, one is to cross the Yellow River in Mengjin to reach the eastern capital Luoyang, and then cross Hangu Pass to Tongguan outside. The other is to take the official road on the north bank of the river until Fengling crosses the Yellow River and reaches Tongguan. In addition, there are also those who take the Yellow River waterway to Sanmenxia in Shaanzhou to land. Ye Chang was in a hurry to catch up with Chang'an, but the caravan still had to go to Luoyang, so he separated from the caravan halfway and took the official road on the north bank of the river by himself.

Fortunately, at this time, although the Tang Emperor Li Sanlang was already addicted to wine pleasures, and there was a huge crisis lurking in the entire Tang Dynasty, the world was generally peaceful, and Ye Chang was extremely cautious because he didn't want to make trouble all the way, so he didn't encounter any problems for ten days.

"This is Fenglingdu!"

When the rushing Yellow River finally appeared in front of Ye Chang, he had already arrived in front of Fenglingdu. Fenglingdu is one of the largest ferries on the Yellow River at this time, the so-called "rooster crows to listen to the three provinces". However, in Ye Chang's opinion, it is not unusual, except for the scene of the sails racing, there is nothing unusual.

There is no spectacular bridge in this place, although there are many ships coming and going, Ye Chang is not in the mood to appreciate these clumsy and small ships.

After all, the Chinese shipbuilding technology only took a big leap in the Song Dynasty, and the current ships are not only small, but also very unchanged.

The government has set up checkpoints at the ferry to manage the affairs of crossing the river, but now it is just collecting money, and people like Ye Chang have to go to the ferry to find the ferry by themselves after paying the money.

"Lang Jun is trying to transition?" Seeing him patrolling the ferry, someone over there stepped forward and asked.

"It's just to pass through Fenglingjin, I don't know what Lang Jun taught me?" Ye Chang saw that the man looked thin and didn't look like a villain, so he saluted and asked.

"Lang Jun is not a scholar who travels the world?" The man smiled and said: "The villain doesn't dare to be a gift to Langjun, the villain's surname is Lu, Xingjiu, and he is a waterman begging for life in this Fenglingjin." If Lang Jun can trust the villain, he will come with the villain. ”

"Huh?"

"Lang Jun rest assured, a scholar like Lang Jun, the villain can receive a lot, some time ago, there was a happy and high-spirited person who went west, while taking a boat while shouting, 'How can my generation be a penny man'......"

Ye Chang's heart moved when he heard this: "Some speakers must be surnamed Li, right?" ”

"Hey, how did Lang Jun know?"

"Is this person not white, but the word is too white?"

"Exactly, exactly, this person claims to be Li Taibai." The man smiled: "The villain crossed the river with him, and he could hear him roaring and singing all the way, which can be described as full of ambition, and he thought that he wanted to enter the capital for great use." ”

"Hehe, this is a coincidence, I never thought that he actually entered Beijing before me, maybe I can see him in the capital this time."

Ye Chang felt a little happier in a rare mood.

Because of his love for classical culture, he is still quite familiar with Li Bai, who has left a famous poet in history. At this time, Li Bai was over forty years old, but he was still unwilling and lived in seclusion with Wu Daoshi. After receiving the recommendation of this Taoist priest, he received the invitation of Li Longji and Li Sanlang and began to enter Beijing.

But Ye Chang didn't know that Li Bai entered Beijing this time three months earlier than he entered Chang'an in history.

"Lang Jun knows this Mr. Taibai?" The waterman asked.

"It's been famous for a long time, but we haven't seen each other."

"This Mr. Taibai is said to stay in Lishan for a while longer, Chang'an is extremely hot, and Lishan is still cool."

"Oh......"

While chatting, Ye Chang followed the waterman to the river, the waterman exhaled, and suddenly a boat came from several small boats parked by the river, the boatman was naked, revealing bronze-like muscles, sweat like pearls, and propped the boat in front of Ye Chang.

"Lang Jun just gets on the boat, Lang Jun crosses the river with one person and one horse, the person is three Wen, the horse is Wuwen, and a total of eight Wen is needed." The sailor who solicited the guest said: "We are all doing serious business here, and we will never deceive Lang Jun!" ”

Ye Chang looked at the small boat, and then at himself and the horse, and his scalp suddenly felt a little numb. “

The boat didn't seem to be able to hold a few people, and there was still standing water at the bottom of the boat, which made Ye Chang wonder if he would sink the boat after he brought people on the boat. He looked at the rest of the people's boats, and they all looked like this.

It seems that there is no choice...... However, the current shipbuilding technology is so poor, the role of rivers and sea routes must be limited, if it can be innovated in shipbuilding, it is also a good way.

Although he was charged eight cents, it was impossible for the ferry to really carry him alone, and he had to gather a boatload before he could make the transition. Fortunately, Fenglingdu is one of the largest ferries, and people from all walks of life, whether they are business travelers or travelers, gather here. After a while, the sailor who solicited customers brought several more people, and the small boat was full of nearly ten people.

"Enough is enough, you can go." Someone urged.

"Lang Jun, please wait a minute, and then one more person will leave."

"This boat is both a man and a horse, enough for you to earn a lot, why care about one more person and one less?"

"Lang Jun said with a smile, it's rare that the weather has been fine recently, the Yellow River has been crossed, and we who are bitter and hard-working have to rely on these days to pick up some guests and feed the family......"

The sailors laughed with them, but they didn't drive the boat, and they said that their lives were difficult, and they could only ferry for a few months of the year. And even in these months, the wind and waves on the Yellow River are also their mortal threat, and many sailors and boats capsize and die every year.

"If you don't work on the three poles this day, you won't be able to catch up with the end of the day and there will be no lunch, you want to eat, we won't eat?"

Ye Chang heard a horizontal voice shouting among the ferrymen, Ye Chang also felt hungry in his belly, but at this time, a small boat floated over, and there were all kinds of Yellow River fish on the boat, Ye Chang saw that his heart moved, and he led the horse and got off the boat again.

"Lang Jun, why did Lang Jun get off the boat again?" The boatman panicked.

"I am hungry and want to eat a full meal before crossing the river." Ye Chang smiled and said: "I saw that you have a pot and firewood on the ship, and there are two pennies here, which can be regarded as borrowing pots and firewood from you-that Langjun just now, I heard that you are selling sugar, but there is frosting sugar?" ”

He was called by a merchant, carrying a burden, and when he heard that he wanted sugar, he immediately quoted a high price. At this time, the price of frosting was extremely expensive, and he did not have it in the hands of the small merchant, only brown sugar. Ye Chang didn't care, in addition to buying sugar, he also asked the fishermen on the shore for some vinegar, ginger and onions, and dogwood, and then bought a big Yellow River carp, and washed the pot clean, then cut the fish, washed the fish, cut the fish, and began to start a fire.

Just started work here, and someone over there suddenly shouted: "Master Ye? ”

Ye Chang heard this familiar voice, got up and looked, only to see Shi Shanzhi, a reckless head, appearing in front of him with an embarrassed appearance.

"It's a coincidence, where don't we meet in life, I actually saw a good believer here."

Shi Shanzhi also smiled: "Okay, it's good, I finally met someone who can manage the meal...... Lord Ye, I'm hungry! ”

"It's better to be in time than to be in time, since you are here, I am afraid that a fish is not enough...... Hey, fisherman, give me another Yellow River carp! ”

Ye Chang bought another big carp, which weighed two catties, and after disposing of it as usual, he started cooking it on the shore. What he wants to do is a sweet and sour carp, although the ingredients are insufficient, especially the sugar is brown sugar, but under his skillful hands, after a while, it is still full of fish fragrance, and there are many people who swallow saliva.

"Shanzhishi, how did you get here?" While cooking fish, Ye Chang asked.

"Poor monk, how did you get here?" Shi Shanzhi also asked.

Both of them spoke at the same time, and then they both burst into laughter. Although Shanzhi is a reckless monk, he is not stupid, he can see from Ye Changmei's eyes that he is worried, and he does not ask, but just talks about his own affairs: "The poor monk hung a two-day order in the Shifang Temple, and the old monk was stingy, and after letting the poor monk get a haircut, he sent the poor monk to Qiaocai." In a fit of rage, the poor monk beat that Dao Ning and left......"

"The monk is a cool person, and he will leave if he doesn't say a word." Ye Chang is absolutely asympathetic to him, and Shanzhi is indeed a character who can do this kind of thing.

"You don't know what to do, there are some stupid bald donkeys up and down in the Shifang Temple, and if you stay with them for a long time, the poor monk is afraid that he will become a turbidity with only incense in his eyes."

"Could it be that the good straight master is not a turbid thing now?" Ye Chang was familiar with him, so he joked with him: "I think that Master Shanzhishi drinks and eats meat, picks up the bowl to eat and drink, puts down the chopsticks and curses, not only is it turbid, but also a villain." ”

"Nonsense, the poor monk is a pure white lotus and a good and upright." When Monk Mang said this, he touched his bald head with his hand, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

Just then, a horse-drawn carriage appeared on the riverbank.

The scent of fish entered the carriage, and a curtain was lifted on the corner of the carriage, and a face was protruding from it.

"What a fragrant fish, auntie, do you want to eat fish?" It was a beautiful woman, twenty-five or sixteen years old, who asked inward.

"If it's okay, you can ask for food." The female voice inside replied.

"Auntie, don't worry."

The beautiful woman jumped out, this action immediately attracted everyone's attention, Ye Chang concentrated on observing the heat of the fish, and didn't pay attention to this side, but Shi Shanzhi saw it at a glance, and suddenly a pair of thick eyebrows twisted: "This woman is very skilled." ”

Ye Chang raised his face when he heard this, and felt that the fragrant wind was blowing on his face, and a beautiful woman walked in front of him: "Fisherman, can this fish be sold?" ”

"The lady is so rude, this fish is used by the poor monk to wrap his belly, how can he sell it?" Shi Shan said angrily: "Hugh is noisy, come back, come back!" ”

"Monks can eat fish, too?" The beautiful woman's willow eyebrows were raised.

"A'e, come back, this master, but a Shaolin stick monk." Behind her, another voice sounded from the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, a woman came down from the carriage, who was already middle-aged, and although she was very well maintained, she could not hide the fish lines on her eyebrows. She had a pair of extremely bright eyes, but what made Ye Chang pay more attention was a pair of short swords hanging from her waist.

"Auntie......"

"It's not for sale, and there's no need to force it, just cross the river and find a place to eat." The middle-aged woman said.

"If you don't dislike it, you can buy two more fish, and I'll cook them for you." Ye Chang saw the pair of short swords and had an idea in his heart.

"I'm afraid it's delaying Lang Jun's time." Middle-aged beauty said.

"Left and right are in a hurry, but it's half an hour late or half an hour early." Ye Changdao.

At this time, the first two sweet and sour carp had been cooked, and Ye Chang and Shanzhi feasted on it, and the monk ate it with a mouth full of oil. At the same time, Ye Chang began to cook fish for the two women and their coachman, and when the fish was half-cooked, suddenly there was a sound of horses galloping behind him, and then someone said happily: "Here, here!" ”

The middle-aged woman frowned and glanced up at the man. The man smiled and arched his hand: "Why is the eldest lady so fast?" ”

"Something." The middle-aged beautiful woman said coldly: "Geng Langjun sent a hundred miles of affection, the slave has been received, and I invite Langjun to go back." ”

"Linghu Ling sent me to invite, the eldest lady did this, it's too much, right?" That Geng Langjun was displeased: "Linghu Ling put the delicacies in the sea and waited for the empty table, but the eldest lady would rather eat the garbage that the pigs and dogs on the roadside ignored, and did not want to go to the banquet of Linghu Ling, the eldest lady is really so ignorant?" ”
