There are thousands of branches of the Yangtze River, not to mention the expanded map.

If Wang Qing made up his mind to go all the way north and enter the territory of Dajin, there would indeed be only one way to the Grand Canal.

But Wang Qing was crazy and dared to go to Dajin. Once the identity is exposed in Dakin, it is not a problem for second-rate masters, I am afraid that I will be hunted down by first-class masters, and there will be more than one if I can't get it right.

Under the leadership of Zhao Hu, a knowledgeable old horse, the fleet turned left and right.

Wang Qing was reading a book in the cabin, when there was a sudden knock on the door, Zhao Hu came to report, and the Yangtze River had arrived.

Wang Qingxing rushed out of the cabin and came to the bow of the ship.

Wang Qing has lived by the Yellow River since he was a child, and his parents are also water conservancy personnel on the Yellow River.

However, although the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are juxtaposed, it is more of an emotional balance. As the birthplace of the Central Plains civilization, the Yellow River is worthy of the name of the mother river. However, in terms of water volume and scale, it is far from being comparable to the Yangtze River.

Wang Qing stood on the bow of the boat, and the clothes blown by the river wind made a hunting sound.

As soon as the fleet turned into the Yangtze River, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Wang Qing looked at the river in front of him and gasped. Hell, this is the river, or the sea.

The map has expanded 20 times, and the rivers and lakes have expanded accordingly.

The river in front of you is as far as the eye can see. The river breeze blows, bringing up waves more than half a meter high.

As soon as I entered the Yangtze River, I felt that the hull of the ship shook violently.

Drama Zhao Hu said that this is already the most peaceful appearance of the Yangtze River. About a third of the fleet is too small to run inland rivers. It is best not to take advantage of people, otherwise there is a risk of rolling over once the wind is strong.

Wang Qing didn't know if it was right to come to the Yangtze River.

After all, the Yangtze River is different from the canal. The canal was the sphere of influence of the imperial court, and its power was relatively simple. But the Yangtze River is a mixture of fish and dragons, and even the regular army of the Southern Song Dynasty Navy Division has a limited scope of control. This is the real Jianghu and the arena where the martial arts forces of all parties compete.

The fleet headed west, and shortly after it sailed, it encountered a convoy of merchant ships.

The fleet was huge, a whole eighty large ships. Moreover, those big ships were two laps larger than the largest ships under Wang Qing.

Wang Qing and them were found from afar, and a close gong sounded on the merchant ship.

The tarpaulin lifted to reveal hidden bed crossbows, which were found in every ship. Countless figures appeared on the side of the ship, Wang Qing had good eyes, judging from his body style, there were no less than ten second-rate masters.

Hell, this is a merchant ship? I'm afraid that the water master has this strength.

Wang Qing hurriedly gave the order, and the fleet slowed down so as not to leak hostility. He didn't want to fight a tough battle for no reason.

Perhaps sensing that Wang Qing did not mean to do anything, a flag was raised on the merchant ship.

It reads "Tianwang Yang" in a big way.

Wang Qing looked at it, okay, the people of the Heavenly King, then they can't fight.

At that moment, he instructed his subordinates a few words, released the boat, and without a single person, the single canoe sailed towards the caravan.

But Wang Qing can't help but show his identity, but he can't show his identity. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the broken star, and a blow of Zixiao God thunder struck the surface of the water.

There were also people on the other side, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot, and the speed of the ship slowed down.

A large ship came out of the crowd and approached Wang Qing.

Wang Qing was not polite, took the small boat, and flew to jump onto the big boat.

However, the moment Wang Qing got on the boat, the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

Only then did Wang Qing remember that he was still dressed as a ghost emperor, and hurriedly took off his mask, revealing a young face.

A burly man with a steel gun came out of the crowd. He glanced Wang Qing up and down a few times, and asked with some doubts:

"Kunlun's?"

Wang Qing also knew that his image was a bit exaggerated, so he smiled.

"Kunlun sent Kongtong to the upper court, Wang Qing. Who are you? ”

"Oh? You are Wang Qing. In Xia Yang Weirong, the king of Dongting. ”

Wang Qing's eyes lit up, Dongting.

The Heavenly King was the largest unofficial organization in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is known that the large battalion was stationed in Xiangyang City, the first line of the anti-Jin resistance. It can be said that Xiangyang City and its surroundings have long been out of the control of the Southern Song Dynasty court, and only occupy a nominal rule.

But what the public generally doesn't know is that the real lair of the Heavenly King is hidden in the eight hundred miles of Yunmengze, which is now called Dongting Lake. The location is extremely private, no one leads the way, and outsiders can't go there at all. That is the true core of the Heavenly King, the place where all the inner disciples are born.

A sentence of Dongting Heavenly King shows the identity of the person who came, at least he is an inner disciple.

"I said, Brother Wang, your dress is very chic."

Wang Qing smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, I've done something bad lately. I couldn't recruit the sect, so I dressed up in disguise. Please call me Wang Chen in front of people. ”

"Hiss~ Wang Chen? What kind of Western ghost emperor is that? Oh haha, got it. Good, well done. When I came from Yangzhou, I heard that a stunned person came out of the Grand Canal, and the Grand Canal was in a miasma, it turned out to be you. Come, come, get in, and have a drink or two. ”

Wang Qing couldn't shirk it, and he didn't want to be too exposed to the public. I half-pushed and half-entered the cabin.

The guests and hosts sat down, and Yang Weirong asked Wang Qing curiously, there was a lot of fleet.

Wang Qing briefly talked about what he was doing in the Grand Canal.

"I didn't want to pull a queue either. These people surrendered directly, what can I do? ”

Yang Weirong also understood, this is to catch ducks on the shelves. He asked with a smile.

"So what are you going to do next? I'm afraid the court won't let you go, we know too well the urine nature of those big masters. ”

"I don't have any plans, I'm going to go all the way west and try the Yangtze River. Since I have called the water transportation management brigade, this Yangtze River waterway, I will clean it up. Looking at your posture just now, I'm afraid this road is not peaceful. ”

"Haha, good boy, ambitious. Need help? You're welcome. ”

"Now that you've spoken, it's a small matter. This Yangtze River force, my eyes are black, and I hope to share one or two pieces of information. ”

"Well said, it should be. Anything else? ”

Wang Qing pondered for a moment,

"There is a letter, and I hope to forward it to Gang Leader Yang. Brother Yang, it's not that I don't trust you, this matter is very important, and it is inconvenient to tell you the details for the time being. ”

"Cut, understood. Military intelligence, secrecy regulations. Leave it to me, come, drink. ”

At the wine table, the two had a good conversation. Wang Qing has been messing with Xue Lei for so long, and when it comes to the army, although he can't do it, his mouth cannon is still not a problem.

Wang Qing also learned about the situation of the Yangtze River waterway, and it was really a mess.

Yang Weirong is also very interested, the various forces in the Yangtze River have basically stabilized, although they are constantly killing each other, but they are basically small fights. This suddenly put in a dragon crossing the river, it must be a chicken, fly and dog jump. He's waiting to see what happens.

"But Brother Wang, you came from Suzhou and Hangzhou, why don't you buy some good ships over there. I see that one-third of your fleet is a small boat that can't run on the Yangtze River. Hangzhou, Mingzhou there is a developed shipbuilding, and good ships are not expensive. ”

Wang Qing shook his head and smiled.

"It's all confiscated, and I'm also a water bandit now, and I'm doing business without capital. Buying a boat? That's a lot of identity. ”

Yang Weirong looked at Wang Qing enviously. The soldier didn't want to go to war, and he was trapped on this merchant ship, but he didn't lose his will to fight in the slightest.

"Brother, don't say it, I envy you. After two years, I will pay a business and try this kind of wanton life. Dry! ”

"!"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wang Qing was slightly drunk and packed a thick stack of information on the distribution of the Yangtze River's forces. He staggered to his feet and took his leave.

"Brother, there will be a date later! Ay! You mask. ”

It's so dangerous, and sure enough, I drank and made a mistake. Wang Qing put on his mask, checked it a little, made sure it was correct, waved his hand and jumped onto the boat.
