Chapter 60 Ripple Returns
The big boat went upstream, but half a day's effort arrived at Qutang Gorge, the river is high and the waves are urgent, the most dangerous section of the Three Gorges, the water situation is not very good, even the place where the grand meeting is held - the pile of the river, there is only one person high, and a square circle is exposed to the water.

Lu Li stood at the bow of the boat, raised his head and looked at the turbulent river, and the upper half of his body emerged from the underwater, as if he was clad in stubbornness, wanting to retreat from the river. The front waves of the river rushed to this stubborn rock, and the back waves pushed and roared, beating the waves all over the sky. Whenever the river rushes towards the pile, in an instant, in front of the pile, the waves are monstrous, the mist is steaming, the whirlpool is flying, and the earth is shaking.
The sound of thunder can be heard for ten miles.
This is the wonder of the "Ripple Huilan" that has been passed down through the ages in Shu. Song Shidao came to Lu Li's side and introduced him: "Our Song Valve's ship passes here eight or nine times out of ten every year, and the boatmen are old-fashioned, so there will be no danger." Has Brother Lu ever been to Qutang? If this is the case, the teacher will laugh! ”
"I've been to Qutang!" Lu Li curiously looked at the canyons on both sides, strange rocks, and replied: "But I haven't seen the ...... of the pile" What Lu Li didn't say was that because the pile hindered shipping, it was blown up by the government as early as the winter of 1958, and only in the plot world of the Sui and Tang dynasties, you can still see the wonder of this "Rippling Return".
"Look at ......" Lu Li pointed to Song Shidao and said: "This "Ripple Huilan" is an undercurrent turbulence in the heart of the river, the boat will be disturbed by the turbulence here, here thousands of rivers converge, go to one door together, the water is turbulent, we are a big ship are so dangerous, if it is a small boat commonly used by fishermen and passenger ships, or capsize, or hit the turbulent pile, in an instant, shattered bones! ”
"Why don't you destroy this boulder?" Lu Li asked.
Master Song laughed clearly, shook his head and said, "Brother Lu, what you think, we Song Valve have not thought about it. Qutang a pile of turbulent piles, making Shu Road difficult, every year we Song valve here loss of goods, manpower, there are as many as a thousand gold, if it can really solve it, our Song valve is the first to start! ”
"But you don't know, this Qutang is the place where thousands of rivers converge, the water is abundant, in addition to the water pile there are countless rocks and strange reefs, since ancient times, the waterway undercurrent here, intricate, with the solar terms and changes, the river is a dead end!"
"No one has ever been rescued alive from anyone who has fallen into the water here. Even if people were to dig up the heaps of rock, they would only be able to break the part above the river. ”
Lu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "If you really dig the part above the river, won't this cost the lives of the passengers of the caravans?" ”
Song Shidao nodded and said, "The pond is as big as an elephant, and Qutang can't be climbed." The pond is as big as an ox, and the pond cannot be left. The pond is as big as a horse, and the pond cannot be lowered. The river is as big as a burden, and the pond is untouchable. The river is as big as a turtle, and the pond cannot be peeped into. The river is as big as a turtle, and the Qutang is a boat. If it is any day, the pile is really invisible! I am afraid that along the Yangtze River in Shuzhong, every family wears filial piety, and every household cries. ”
"The boaters here are all controlled by the Water Dragon Gang, and the hydrology and geography of Qutang are the most familiar to them. If Brother Lu is interested in Qutang's scenery, I will let them arrange it......"
"No need to ......," Lu Li refused with a smile.
The boat had already passed the pile, and it was not far from the port at this time, Lu Li pointed to a newly built wooden building port on the shore and said: "I saw it, it should be the place arranged by the Water Dragon Gang." ”
At this time, the two sides of the strait have been a little smoother, but there are still some strange peaks and strange rocks towering on both sides, just before that port, there is a huge rock like an eagle's beak, on which stands a thin figure, wait until the distance is getting closer and closer to see clearly, the person's dress is very different from the clothes of the Central Plains, with a pair of dove-like eyes, looking coldly at the big ship of the Song valve.
"Turks?" Song Shidao's brows furrowed, with obvious displeasure.
Song valve is the most insistent on Han unification among the four major gate valves, and most of the reasons why they are opposed to the northern aristocratic gate valve are because the northern gate valve has been intermarrying with the Xianbei nobles for a long time, despising their backbone and bloodline. As the leader of the southern gate valve, of course, the Song valve will not have any good feelings towards those mixed races in the north, and is more hostile to foreign races such as Turkic and Xianbei.
When the big ship continued to move forward, revealing the Turkic tent stretching along the shore that was blocked by the situation, Song Shidao's face was gloomy and dripping with water, and with Lu Li's eyesight, of course, he could see the Turkic soldiers coming and going in the tent.
Thinking of Song Shidao's introduction to the Water Dragon Gang just now, the Water Dragon Gang, as one of the Eight Gangs and Ten Guilds, controls the Shuzhong Waterway, with the influence of the Song Valve in the south, plus the marriage ally of Duzun Fort, if it is said that the Water Dragon Gang is not under their control, it is a big joke in the world! But now that the Turks are garrisoning in Shuzhong, Song Shidao, the son of the Song lord, knows nothing, and the meaning can be imagined.
"Water Dragons...... Turks! What a water dragon gang! Song Shidao laughed angrily.
"You're from Song Valve?" As soon as the boat docked, I saw two short men with a bloody body jump onto the boat, and said to Song Shidao in a strange Chinese: "The location where Song Valve stopped the ship is not here, you can go with me......"
"How daring!" Song Shidao said angrily: "This Shu is still the world of my Han family, and it is not your turn to make decisions for me!" ”
"This alliance is a major event jointly organized by the Turks, Goryeo, and your major families, and the rebels, and this is no longer the land of the Great Sui, but a neutral land, and the place where our Turkic king's tent is located is the land of the Turks. The Turks and Goryeo are both big countries, and if you hadn't given up the land here, would An have been able to sit with us? ”
"What is the status of my king? He is equal to the Great Sui Emperor! Sitting with you, the Great Sui courtiers, is already a condescending honor, do you dare to say more? The landlords here, the Water Dragon Gang, uphold neutrality, entrusted us Turkic management of the port close to the king's tent...... Would you be able to afford to let the Assassins get involved? The Turk asked with a sneer.
"Turkic and Goryeo are just a country of birds and beasts, and a group of monkeys want to sit with people? Thinking about the appearance of the Turkic king, it reminds me of a sentence - 'Mu Monkey and Crown'......" Fu Hongyan fanned her nose as she walked out of the cabin, a sarcastic smile appeared on her beautiful face, and her contemptuous eyes swept over the two Turks.
"What kind of tricks did the Shenwu team play, and they obediently let the truth team climb on their heads?" Fu Hongyan sneered, looking at the Turkic king's tent on the shore like ants.
An inexplicable look swept over Lu Li, Fu Hongyan came to the bow of the boat, the Turkic next to him was about to drip blood on his face, he roared, brandished a scimitar and pounced, and the blade slashed down at the back of Fu Hongyan's head.
There was a loud shout in Turkic from the shore, but the man ignored it, bent on putting Fu Hongyan to death.
Song Shidao, who was next to him, couldn't save him, and hurriedly shouted: "Danger! Lu Li only had a sneering expression, and his figure flashed, and he walked towards the other Turk. Just when the Turkic man with the knife came behind Fu Hongyan, the woman didn't look back, and a cuff was gently poked out by her, wrapping around the Turk's hands.
Just between the lightning and flint, Fu Hongyan threw him out of the boat, and the strength in his palm poked out, and in front of the eyes of dozens of people on the boat and countless people on the shore, he tore the Turkic master alive, and the blood turned into a blood rain and sprinkled on the river.
On the other side, Lu Li also pinched the neck of the other person and threw it off the boat.
"Who allowed you to make decisions for the old lady?" Fu Hongyan's voice resounded on both sides of the strait: "Fools who are ruled and manipulated? Identify who is in charge? It's not you NPCs who come here to decide and lead, as NPCs, you have to be obediently manipulated by players, do you know? All you can choose is obedience...... Or die! ”
"Slut!" When the gloomy-eyed Turkic master boarded the ship, it was already late, and he stared at Fu Hongyan's face greedily, but scolded in his mouth: "Song Valve's people, is this woman here to provoke the Great Turks on your behalf?" Is this how you reneg on your covenant and kill your allies? Hand over the woman, or ...... It is to break the covenant with us! (To be continued.) )
