"Is that Linjiang City?" Under the sunset, Liu Xiu stood on the ox cart and looked at it from afar.

The old coachman sitting next to him squinted his eyes, and he didn't see the so-called Linjiang City at all, but he replied to Liu Xiu with his previous experience: "How is it, it's very prosperous and spectacular, right?" ”

Liu Xiushen nodded approvingly.

In fact, they were still a long way from Linjiang City at this time, but Liu Xiu had a good sight, and he could already see the city from a distance when he stood on the ox cart.

At noon they set off from Qingliu Town, hurried and hurried, and finally came here when the sun was setting, and there were no accidents on the way, but they stopped to rest once, and the old coachman also shared the dry food he brought with Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu also gave him a little monkey wine to drink.

In fact, according to the normal route, they didn't come here so quickly, but they took a shortcut, interspersed with some village roads in the countryside, saving nearly thirty miles!

Liu Xiu is very glad to be with them, if he is alone, he doesn't know how troublesome it is if he doesn't know the road, you must know that this place under the jurisdiction of Linjiang City has a population of tens of millions, dozens of large and small towns, and there are even more villages.

As the old coachman said, in fact, the road from Qingliu Town to Linjiang City is usually very safe, and there are bandits who block the road and cut the path, but they don't have the 'good luck' that they just encountered.

A safe journey is naturally the greatest wish of everyone who has traveled a long way, and after being able to see the outline of Linjiang City, the slightly tense hearts of all of them, the caravan owners, relaxed.

Linjiang City, as the name suggests, is close to a wide river, from a distance, the clear blue waves are thousands of acres, the water is gentle, Liu Xiu's visual measurement, this river is estimated to be three thousand meters wide!

This big river is called Nutao River, Linjiang City is on the other side of the river, Liu Xiu and they are on this side of the river, and if they want to go to Linjiang City, they have to change to a boat across the river.

As far as Liu Xiu could see, there were countless boats of all sizes on the Nutao River, prosperous and busy.

Linjiang City is surrounded by a tall city wall, which is estimated to be thirty meters high, after all, it is a city with a population of one million, and there is almost no end to the city wall at a glance, and the old coachman is not exaggerating when he says that it is magnificent.

Outside the city wall, near the Nutao River, there is a bustling wharf, where dense ships of all sizes enter and exit, handling the daily needs of Linjiang City and the entry and exit of personnel.

Of course, there is more than this entrance to Linjiang City, but the scene on this side alone can be called prosperous.

The city was surrounded by city walls, too far apart, and Liu Xiu had no chance to see it for the time being.

After looking over there for a moment, as the convoy headed to the dock on their side, Liu Xiu sat down again and asked curiously, "Uncle, isn't that river called Nutao River?" Why is the water so gentle? ”

"Little brother don't be surprised, it is indeed the Nutao River, what you see is only this section, whether you go upstream or downstream, you can see the real scene of the Nutao River if you go three or dozens of miles, the water is rushing in those places, even the warships of the ironclad army have to be careful to pass through, ordinary ships are categorically afraid to go to those places" The old coachman stroked his beard and explained.

Liu Xiuxin said that this is the case, it is estimated that it was also established here because the water is gentle and Linjiang City is here.

A group of people stepped on the sunset to the bustling wharf, where people come and go, all want to take advantage of the dark to cross the Nutao River into the city, there are scholars, warriors, caravans, and more coolie sailors......

After arriving at the wharf, the old coachman hesitated for a moment and asked Liu Xiu: "Little brother, next we have to contact the big boat to prepare to cross the river, and we have to carry the goods, I am afraid that we will have to delay a lot of time, and we may not be able to enter the city before dark. ”

After hearing this, Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and decided to cross the river in a small boat separately from them, so that he could enter the city before dark and settle down, and still have some time to experience the nightlife of Linjiang City at night.

So he said: "In this case, the younger generation will say goodbye first, the uncle has taken care of him along the way, and the younger generation is grateful."

"Where, where, the little brother doesn't dislike the little old man's nagging," the old coachman said with a smile.

Secretly put a silver coin on the old coachman as the fare along the way, Liu Xiu said goodbye to him and left alone, although he had nothing to do with others, but Liu Xiu also said hello before leaving, lest people think they don't know how to be polite.

"Ah, I remember, that Liu Gongzi's name is Liu Xiu, and he is good friends with my young lady, and now my young lady has become a member of the reserve of the Iron Armored Army, but I haven't been able to recognize him and talk to him, I can't say that I can still be reused by the eldest lady in the future, I really missed an opportunity, my head, it's really damned!"

After Liu Xiu left, the guard of the Liu family thought about who Liu Xiu was, and patted his head in annoyance......

Linjiang City is close to the Nutao River, there are naturally many people on both sides of the river who make a living by supporting boats, and there is no need to go to find them, as long as they go to the dock to make a stop, some people ask whether they want to cross the river by boat, empty-handed people take small boats, and caravans are people with big boats to ask.

So as soon as Liu Xiu and the coachman were separated, several people asked him if he wanted to cross the river.

Of course, because the prices are about the same, Liu Xiu got on an old man's boat, and when he was fifty or sixty years old, he came out to solicit people to make money, and whoever sat down, and Liu Xiu was also happy that the ten copper plates were earned by him.

The old man's boat is only about ten meters, it looks like it has been some years, it is a canopy boat, and it can shelter from the rain when it rains.

After Liu Xiu got on the boat, the old man of the boatman cramped and said: "This little brother, it's not easy to go back and forth this time, can you wait a while, and I will wait for a few more guests to cross the river together?" ”

At this time, there was only one guest on the boat, Liu Xiu, and he also understood the old man's desire to make money, seeing that the old man spoke politely and it was really not easy, he thought about it and asked: "Old man, how many guests do you usually pull across the river on this boat?" ”

"Usually three or five, when there are many people, there are seven or eight, little brother rest assured, the little old man has never had an accident here for decades......"

Liu Xiu interrupted him with a smile: "Old man, I didn't mean that, you see how this is, don't go and pull other guests, I'll give you fifty copper plates, just when you pull five guests, how about sending me over now?" ”

"This ...... Fifty copper plates is too much, so let's give thirty to the little brother," the old man of the boatman thought for a while and said.

It was too much to receive Liu Xiu's fifty copper plates, and it was much easier to send Liu Xiu alone, so he took the initiative to reduce the price.

"Okay, then let's go" Liu Xiu was not hypocritical, and agreed to come down.

So the old man untied the reins, shook the oars, and carried Liu Xiu to the other side.

Instead of waiting in the canopy to reach the opposite bank, Liu Xiu stood at the bow of the boat and watched the busy scene on the river, and the big boats and small boats shuttled back and forth.

After observing for a while, Liu Xiu pointed to the river in the distance and asked the boatman: "Old man, what are you doing over there?" There is a big boat on the side, but there are people swimming desperately in the water, could it be that they are doing some interesting activities? ”

More than 2,000 meters away from Liu Xiu and them, a big boat was sailing on the river, but there were hundreds of people swimming desperately in the water, which really made Liu Xiu curious.

The old coachman glanced at it, then explained with a smile: "Little brother, this is the first time to come to Jiangcheng, right?" Over there, it's not any activity, it's the reserve of the Iron Army training."

"Training? Training in the water? Liu Xiu was stunned.

"Yes, I don't know anything about martial artists, I guess there is something to say," the old man shook his head and said.

Tsk, train special forces? Liu Xiu muttered in his heart, he didn't look at it after a few glances, thinking about Liu Qingqing Isn't he in the reserve of the Iron Armor Army, let's see if I can visit tomorrow, the two sides can be regarded as friends, since they are here, there is no reason not to even look at it, as for whether I can see it, then another story.

There is a way that the sun sets on the long river, looking at the sparkling river surface under the sunset, Liu Xiu suddenly became interested, took off the erhu and prepared to come to a section.

So I sat down directly, put the erhu on my lap, closed my eyes and pulled it up.

It's still that myth, after so long of practice, Liu Xiu has barely been able to pull it out completely, it's hard to hear, but it's not so harsh after all.

The timbre of the erhu itself has a bit of sadness, especially with the scene of the sunset, which makes people feel a little emotional when they listen to it for no reason.

The old man who was holding the boat saw Liu Xiu pulling the erhu, curious about what kind of musical instrument it was, and at the same time wanted to talk and stopped, but Liu Xiula was so involved that he couldn't bear to disturb it.

The boat slowly sailed towards the opposite side of the river, and when it reached the center of the river, the old man holding the boat stopped pausing and stopped rowing in some fright.

At this time, dozens of meters away from the boat, on a large building boat, the window opened, and a figure came into the air and landed lightly on the small boat.

Seeing this person, the old man was a little overwhelmed and said, "I don't know what the girl is talking about?" If there is anything offended about the little old man, please be sure to include ......"

Falling on the boat was a woman in red, more than seven meters tall, with a very hot figure, and also dressed very unrestrainedly, revealing a large area of snow white on her chest, the deep ravines made people want to suffocate in it, Yingying's waist, straight buttocks, the breeze blowing, the red skirt swaying, and a pair of snow-white big * legs looming.

This woman in red not only has a hot body, but also looks very enchanting and charming, and a random expression seems to be able to hook people's souls.

She waved her hand to interrupt the boatman's words, and looked at Liu Xiu, who was playing the erhu, with interest and chuckled: "Old man, don't panic, I'm not here to trouble you, I'm just curious about who can make the originally beautiful melody so ugly!" ”

Liu Xiu felt it when the woman arrived, but she didn't pay attention to it, and pulled the erhu by herself, but when the woman said that she had played the erhu unpleasantly, Liu Xiu stopped doing it, opened her eyes and looked at her and said, "What's in the way of you?" ”
