The Road Back to Beijing (I) (I)

This is the confluence of two rivers. A small tributary river joins the Qianjiang River here. Different from the wide water surface of the Qianjiang River, the water surface of the river is narrow, the water flow is rapid, and the upstream comes from Xiaoshan not far away, and the green mountains and green waters pass along the way, and there are few mudflats and sandy lands, so the water quality is very clear. At the confluence of the two rivers, there is a peninsula surrounded by a backflow at the outlet of the Zhijiang River, the whole peninsula is perfectly covered by green trees, and the shore is covered by dense willow and aquatic fir trees, which is very claustrophobic, even if the building ships are moored in it, the ships on the main channel of the Qianjiang River may not be able to see it. There are passenger boats moored under the shade of the trees, especially private passenger boats, those who are not in a hurry to hurry, some will stay here for a few hours, so that people can pick up the fatty river fresh in the river and feast on it.

Today, there are several passenger boats moored here, and many rich families come and go from people in and out, negotiating with hawkers, vegetable farmers and boatmen to buy. In passenger ships, the passengers are often staggered and full of people. In contrast, some distance from all the boats, in the shade of the thickest trees, there was a two-story boat that was very quiet, although there were also farmers who brought fresh vegetables, and two boatmen were busy fishing for river fresh food around the boat, but it was very quiet. These people seem to have been arranged a long time ago, and there is no need to bargain, and no one speaks loudly. The smell of broth came from the back kitchen of the ship, but there was no noise in the cabin. People who come and go on the island just think that this is a rich kid who doesn't know what kind of rich family is traveling and resting here alone.

The main guest room in the main cabin of the ship is not all silent, at this time there is a spring light, and the male owner seems to make up for the days when he has neglected his wife a little because of his busyness in the past few days. The few guards on the ship who knew it were all very impressed by their master. Since yesterday when he boarded the ship in Hangzhou, everyone thought that he had entered Beijing with a beautiful family, but he quietly returned to the city to be busy. After the boat left the city, it traveled at a normal pace, and only stopped here yesterday evening. At the third watch, the master arrived with a few Jingwei who were working with him and quietly boarded the boat. After sleeping for a while, he got up and took Miss Cousin for a walk in the morning light, so that many people on the island saw how this merry boy captured the heart with tenderness and carelessness. I thought that the master would sleep after this morning walk, but I was surprised to find that the master had returned to the boat to practice. On a busy day before, a few people who followed him, Mo said that they drank tea, and they didn't even have time to eat, and they were still sleeping soundly at this time. The guards had to be convinced, the secret of the Tang Sect's martial arts may be very powerful, but it also has to be like the master who has been practicing hard all year round to reach his kind of realm, and he has been by his side all the year round, but no one really understands his martial arts advancement, but he knows that it is unfathomable.

After finishing the work, the master and Miss Biao had breakfast, and then looked around the side of the boat to look at the surrounding scenery before returning to the room. It's just that there was a commotion after returning to the room, and the guards had to admire their master's profound skills. Yesterday, after a busy day of traveling for hundreds of miles, and after a little rest, there was no intention of stopping for more than an hour with such a big movement. And they had all noticed that from the very beginning there had been people watching their ship from the woods on the shore, and their master must have been aware of such a high skill, but he had no scruples and went about his own thing. This concentration is also unmatched by few people.

There were at least four or five groups of people on the shore who had been ordered to spy on the ship, and they had been here since the ship had stopped here yesterday, but none of them had noticed that the master had actually come on board in the middle of the night. Today it is clear that the master is planning to have absurd pleasures here. Brought the best chef out from Hangzhou, from cooking a late dinner to supper, today's breakfast, each meal is packed in exquisite food boxes, from the back kitchen to the main cabin. Even when they are far away, they can occasionally smell the fragrance. They stayed here for most of the day and couldn't move, they couldn't eat, and they could only be depressed when they smelled the fragrance wafting over. What's even more depressing is that this son is full of wine and food and begins to enjoy women. The cousin, whom they had all seen from afar, was as beautiful as a fairy, and had a very attractive figure. Since breakfast, it has not stopped, and some people have secretly slandered this, I don't know if this Tang San Gongzi slept too much on the boat yesterday, There is no place to consume energy, so he can toss. But it's no wonder that if he weren't so powerful, where would he provoke so many women to die or live for him.

This enviable immortal deed lasted until nearly noon, when he heard his master order someone to bring hot water, and sent someone ashore to buy all kinds of bathing spices and dried flowers, and then he stopped. Soon after, a lot of goods arrived, just one or two silver and a pound of dried flowers, all kinds of precious bath spices are a dozen baskets. There is also a variety of nearby snacks and snacks with everything you need. Let everyone have to be staggered, Tang San Gongzi is very rich, and he is willing to spend money for women.

After soaking in the hot bath and eating a sumptuous and delicious lunch, the master glanced at the large baskets of spices, dried flowers, and fresh citrus that the merchant had brought to the ship, and then took the things back and forth to the cabin for Miss Watch, and tossed back and forth for most of the hour before sending the merchants off the ship, and at the same time ordered to set sail for the next station.

The watchmen were liberated and dispersed. In addition to the opponents sent by all parties, there are also people from Yumen who care about their grandsons. Hearing that his grandson was so wasteful and extravagant because of the woman of the Bai family, Yu Zhenxiang angrily threw the tea bowl in his hand on the ground. It seems that he needs to hurry up to find him a safe woman by his side.

At this time, on the Huanglong Slope in Hangzhou, not far from the Aoki Annex, in a courtyard, I heard a report from my subordinates that Princess Jingchen's ship hit the reef and sank in the early morning, and the goods on the ship could not be retrieved, and the people in the bottom cabin could not escape. The middle-aged scribe also smashed the teacup against the opposite wall in anger. The subordinates who came to report were a little surprised, after all these years of experience, the prince has rarely been so excited and angry.

After a while, the scribe spoke: "Let Luo Yi send someone to carefully salvage the area around the scene of the accident." Although those dark iron weapons were extremely light and thin, they were not so easily washed away by water. ”

"There are two huge undercurrents at the wreck, Luo Yi's people said that it is difficult to approach, it is said that large pieces of the ship's planks have been swept away, and our things don't know which direction they are washed in, they are still searching around, but so far there is no result."

"The people in the bilge are all trained for many years, although they don't know water, but they have deep skills, not to mention anything else, just hold their breath, they can hold on for a quarter of an hour or two without problems, something happens, and no one escapes from thirty people?"

"No, it is said that the bilge was the first to enter the water at the time of the accident, and the mast on it broke and pressed against the hatch."

"Exactly? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Let people check it! ”

"The master suspects that someone has done something?"

"Isn't it? Those thirty people were carefully selected by us from tens of thousands of people, and they were very outstanding in terms of reaction and work ability, not to mention that they had been trained for five years by inviting a master to work from internal strength to external means, how could it be possible to have a sunken ship without a lifetime. Although Jing Chen's guards are also capable guards sent by the palace, they can all escape to the shore with her, but none of our thirty people can get out? ”

"The princess's cabin is on the second floor, very high above the water, and after the accident, three martial arts masters took her to jump to the Jiangxin Island next to her with light skills to escape. If the princess is also in the cabin below, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape this fate. What's more, if someone does it, will they even fold themselves in it? For apart from the princess and the three guards, and the ship's family, there were only a few of the guards who patrolled the deck that were later rescued in the waters downstream, and none of them survived. ”

"That's what the Great River Gang guys said?"

"Yes, but the people we were following on the shore didn't find any other signs. Our people have been following us on the shore since the ship was loaded in Sakura Town, and no suspicious person has been found. Moreover, stopping the boats in Sakura Town is a temporary measure, and our things and people coming out of the Yellow Pages Island are also extremely hidden, and the ferry port in Sakura Town is also far away from other ships, so no one should find out. And Princess Jingchen was only temporarily on the boat yesterday, even if they monitored the princess all the way, it was difficult to find out the true feelings. What's more, who would spy on a brainless princess? ”

"No taste, no brain," the scribe said slowly, "Jing Chen's past should not attract attention, and no one will associate her with us." If she is targeted, it can only be in the past few days. Did I do something wrong, the day before yesterday I let Jing Chen's trick go a little too far? Or was she targeted when she came to see me the day before yesterday? ”

It is not terrible to lose a batch of high-quality lethal weapons, and it is okay to lose a group of masters, but the key is that if someone finds out about his intentions in advance and spoils his big thing, it will be troublesome. Whoever it is, he has to take a shot to stop him. He carefully recalled everything the day before yesterday.

The day before yesterday, after Jingchen was deflated by Tang Xinjie, he was quietly summoned by him. Jing Chen walked around the city a few times before coming to see him, as if to relax, and then went to the curtain friends courtyard where the drama was concentrated in Nancheng, and then the golden cicada came out of his shell to see himself. The atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty is relatively open, and rich men have the style of breaking their sleeves, and there are a lot of tricks to play occasionally. There are also rich women who have deep resentments and widows, and sometimes they also come out to have fun. Makuto-in is one such place. There are many people who hope to take a shortcut to change their fate, actors, and people who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Guests of all shapes and sizes come here, each taking what he needs. After Jing Chen went there, he ordered the little official who had been appointed in advance, and only after entering a courtyard inside did he come out to see him from behind. Isn't that also remarkable?
