Hearing the boatman talk about Concubine Xian, Lin Ling was stunned in his heart, and he always felt that he was very familiar with the word Concubine Xian, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Seeing that Lin Ling was a little distracted, Guo Quanqing coughed and said: "Sounds good, Xianghe, why don't we go out for a walk later, as the big brother of the boat family said, this is not a festival that can be met at any time, and it must be very lively at night." ”

Faced with Guo Quan's invitation, Lin Ling only replied vaguely, but his mind did not return to his body because of this, Guo Quan saw Lin Ling's appearance, and he didn't have time to take care of him, just shook his head helplessly and continued to drink tea.

"Stop! Please pay attention to the formation in the back! ”

At this moment, a rough mine burst came, which forcefully pulled Lin Ling's thoughts back.

Lin Ling looked up suspiciously, it turned out that the ship had come to Anze Gate downstream, and at this time, several passenger ships that looked like they were moored under the water gate, and they were in front of the boat that Lin Ling was riding, being inspected by the guards.

Lin Ling looked puzzled, so he turned his head to look at the boatman standing on the deck and asked, "Why, does this person who has to accept identity credentials when entering and exiting the city gate?" ”

Hearing Lin Ling's doubts, he saw that the boatman turned around and smiled slightly, and then said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, these guards are just symbolically checking the ship's standards, not every guest on the ship has to check." ”

Hearing what the boatman said, Lin Ling was relieved in his heart, thinking that if he checked them one by one, let alone going out of the city, I was afraid that after this day, he would not be able to release a few ships.

After a short while, after the passenger ship in front of him passed, it was Lin Ling's turn to take the light boat, and sure enough, as the boatman said, the guard just took a spear and beat it around the light boat for a while, and then waved his hand to let it go.

When the ship squeezed out of the water gate, Lin Ling said suspiciously: "This water gate's defense force is so weak, aren't you afraid of being used by people with intentions, so as to take advantage of the loophole?" ”

Lin Ling's words are normal, because the protective measures of the Anze Gate just now are really a little too simple, for the water gate with a width of twenty meters, relying only on those six or seven soldiers to maintain vigilance, Lin Ling's opinion is indeed a bit stretched.

However, Lin Ling couldn't understand the design of the water gate, so he spoke out unashamedly, which caused the ship's shame.

Sure enough, the boatman, who was shaking the pulp on the deck at this time, couldn't help but sneer at first, but for the sake of the guest's face, he explained without looking back:

"Childe doesn't know, don't look at the city gate is tall and mighty, but the soldiers only have a force of troops, it seems that the strength is not enough to maintain order, but in fact, it is not."

"Whether it is the inner city or the outer city, there is an obvious groove in the wall of the city wall, which is about two meters high, which is not a soldier's post to stand guard, but a fast passage that can lead directly to the city tower."

"Not to mention that every time the water gate is closed, a three-meter iron fence made of iron is erected on the surface of the water, and a nail bed will be specially pulled up under the water to ensure that no outsiders will sneak into the city from underwater."

"It can be said that the protection project of this Anze Gate is different from other land gates, because it is artificially dug autumn water out of the Anze Gate, and there are no objects that can be blocked on the left and right."

"If someone forcibly breaks into the water gate in such an endless area, it will become a live target for the defenders on the city tower, and no one will choose to enter the city from the water gate so stupidly."

The last sentence was completely unintentional talk of the shipwright, but no one expected that such a well-defended Anzemen Gate would become a bridgehead for traitors to attack Kyoto in the later military disaster.

At this time, there were more large and small boats coming and going on the river, but the cold current did not become warmer because of the increase in the flow of people, but the temperature was much lower than that in the city.

I saw Yang Zhen, who didn't talk much on the side, suddenly rubbed his stiff shoulders vigorously, and said with a trembling lip: "Hiss... Why did you suddenly feel that the temperature outside the city was much colder than that inside the city? ”

After Yang Zhen said this, Lin Ling also felt it, but Lin Ling was very knowledgeable, as long as he thought about this kind of thing for a while, he thought of the reason, so he looked at Yang Zhen and said:

"In fact, the temperature inside and outside the city is the same, but the inside of the city is much denser than the outside of the city, and there are so many people in Wuju yesterday around Jinmingchi, don't you feel how cold you feel when you go, so it's just an illusion in your own heart."

After speaking, Lin Ling poured two cups of hot tea casually, stretched out his hand and handed it to Yang Zhen, while the other one was pushed in the direction of Zhang Lun.

However, hearing Lin Ling say this, Yang Zhen thought about it carefully, and how many times he tasted it, and then took the tea cup handed over by Lin Ling with both hands, and didn't speak, just lowered his head and drank tea.

Speaking of this light boat, the reason why it is said to be a light boat is because the hull is light and flat, and it looks like a willow leaf from a distance, but judging from the tip of the bow, the ship's ability to break water is still very strong.

At this time, the ship has passed the autumn water channel, officially merged into the water, and is going hand in hand with a large number of passenger ships, but due to the weather, no one on the other ships walked back and forth, but all hid in the cabin, with the help of the carved window in the cabin, feeling the fragrance of winter from a distance.

And Lin Ling's light boat because of the light hull and small number of people on board, so it traveled very quickly, the boatman just gently flicked the wood pulp, and the boat followed the northward drifting current, and instantly pushed the boat far away.

At this time, Guo Quan was sitting at the stern of the boat, squinting at the scenery on both sides of the river, and said to Lin Ling in the cabin suspiciously: "Xianghe, I went to Taihuasi yesterday, don't you want to know what I am going to do?" ”

Lin Ling knew how well Guo Quan's character, and when he heard him say this, he immediately put on an indifferent look on his face, and slowly came to Guo Quan's body and sat down cross-legged and said:

"No, if you Guo Pinzhi want to say something to me, then whether I listen or not, I can't stop you; On the contrary, if you refuse to speak, even the three old cows will not be able to pull back your will. ”

"And you Guo Pinzhi has always done things with a purpose, since this is the case, then I just need to wait, anyway, it's not a shocking secret, and when you want to say it, you will naturally say it."

Guo Quan, who was originally going to sell a pass, heard that Lin Ling had analyzed himself so thoroughly, and he was suddenly speechless, thinking that Lin Ling's reaction was also clever, why had he never seen it before.

However, Guo Quan didn't plan to hide it anymore at this time, every time he faced Lin Ling, Guo Quan was always so pretentious, so he organized his language a little, and then said:

"Actually, it's nothing, I went this time to learn about the terrain, and secondly, I focused on their internal situation, I think you may be interested in the information about Wuchang Academy."

Speaking of this, Guo Quan stopped, this was not because he was selling off, but turned his head to look at the change in Lin Ling's facial expression, to be honest, for Lin Ling's plan to join the Wuchang Academy, Guo Quan was actually resolutely opposed.
