After everyone crossed the river by boat and arrived at Chaotianmen, Xu Jingmiao left first and returned to his mansion. However, before leaving, he had already made an appointment with Yao Ruoyu that a banquet would be held in the mansion in a few days to entertain Yao Ruoyu and others.

After Xu Jingmiao left, Zhang Ziqiang walked over with his red-eyed black dragon pony and said with a smile: "I'll take you to the palace first." ”

"Do you have to live in the palace?" Jiang Siyu was standing alone, frowning slightly when he heard this, and said softly, "I think the inn outside is also very good." ”

Zhang Ziqiang was stunned when he heard this, and before he could speak, Yang Renjie said with a smile: "Haha, you should go to the house of the pit to be a guest! Eat as much as you want, take as you like, and play as you like......

"That's it, Sister Jiang, don't be arrogant, let's go!" Fu Feng nodded, and said with a grin, while giving Chen Meng and Hou Jingru a look, the two of them also understood, and quickly pushed Jiang Siyu and poured into the carriage with a smile.

Seeing Jiang Siyu being pushed into the carriage by Chen Meng and Hou Jingru, Yao Ruoyu, who was holding his hand, smiled, and said, "Ziqiang, you lead the way, we will follow behind." ”

"Good. Zhang Ziqiang nodded, turned over and got on the horse directly, and after Yao Ruoyu and the others all boarded the carriage, he waved his right hand and rode directly in front of the horse, leading the way towards the Chu Palace.

Yao Ruoyu didn't sit in the carriage, but sat in front of the car with the driver, so that he could naturally enjoy the scenery by the street.

Unlike Fuling City, which is often subject to the flames of war, Chongqing, which is the center of a province, has obviously not been invaded by war for many years, so there is no defensive tower every 100 paces in the city, and there are no horse-repellent and iron thorn nets everywhere in the streets.

Starting from Chaotianmen, there are almost everywhere in the surrounding dozens of zhang, as well as the rows of wooden buildings built above the river, and the dense number of merchant pawns from all over China, so that everyone is the first to feel a unique high-spirited bearing belonging to this era.

And within a hundred steps after leaving Chaotianmen, Yao Ruoyu and they sat in a carriage and entered a street, and in an instant, looking around, the street was crowded with people, one by one on the stalls on both sides, Yongchuan preserved eggs, sheep's horn pears, Hechuan peach slices, these later generations can buy in the supermarket at will, so that the eyes of everyone in the Ministry of Literature and Art have lit up.

Zhang Ziqiang also deliberately slowed down the horse's speed, retreated to the carriage, and smiled at Yao Ruoyu: "Haha, I was stunned when I first came, and I thought about running out to go shopping and play all day long, and I got used to it after a few days." ”

Yao Ruoyu, who was scanning the surroundings, smiled and said casually, "Ziqiang, don't you have to go to the barracks?"

Zhang Ziqiang was stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "No, I have only been in the military camp for more than half a month, and I am now temporarily serving as one of the deputy battalion generals of the Shura Battalion, but according to my father-in-law's intentions, it seems that he intends to arrange another position for me after a while." ”

Yao Ruoyu bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Then come on! Now it seems that your stepfather values you very much!"

Zhang Ziqiang smiled and nodded: "Of course, I'm also the only one in the younger generation of the Yanggu Army who is close to the Five Realms, okay? Although I don't have as much experience as my elder brothers, my combat effectiveness is also very good." ”

(With the strength of the Four Realms Great Perfection to condense the military situation, and there are positions that have not been actually arranged so far, could it be that Chu Crazy Ge intends to make Ziqiang a ...... Well, although this is a little more dangerous, but with his ability and the importance that Chu Yangge attaches to him, there should be no accident. ）

Thinking in his heart, Yao Ruoyu turned his attention back to the street.

I have to say that Chongqing Prefecture, which is far away from the war, can be regarded as a prosperous and rich place, and the people around it are not as resolute as the people of Fuling, and the faces of the people here are full of warm and satisfied smiles.

The simple and clean rhythm of life, coupled with the convergence of countless town specialties along the trade road, has formed a huge business circle, which makes the people of Chongqing exude a unique atmosphere all the time.

Staring at all this and feeling the unique atmosphere, Jiang Siyu, who was sitting by the car window, suddenly muttered, "It's so different." ”

"It's different?" Hou Jingru, who was sitting next to her, was slightly stunned, blinked her eyes, and said blankly, "What's different?"

"Hehe, the people here are more handsome!" Wu Xue lay beside the car window, salivating and looking at the people who walked by from time to time outside the carriage, "Hou Jingru, didn't you notice? The people in the main city are even more handsome!"

"It's just because they're dressed more cleanly, so you think they're handsome, right?" Fu Feng glanced at Wu Xue amusedly, but suddenly understood something, turned his head to Jiang Siyu and asked, "Sister Jiang, do you think that the people here are more vibrant?"

Listening to Fu Feng's inquiry, Jiang Siyu smiled lightly and didn't answer, just glanced at Wu Xue with a smile, and then nodded slightly.

When everyone in the carriage heard this, they all turned their heads to look, looking at the energetic men, women, and children outside the carriage, they were inexplicably silent.

Listening to the communication in the carriage behind him, Yao Ruoyu quietly leaned against the door, although he did not speak, but the smile on the corner of his mouth had already revealed his relaxed mood.

(Coming from a time of peace, we have fallen into the troubled times unprepared, experienced the burning of the war of life and death, and suddenly returned to this vigorous prosperity and abundance...... It's wonderful!)

Smiling, Yao Ruoyu reached out and took off his glasses, allowing himself to rest against the car door for a while.

Chongqing is a famous mountain city since ancient times, it can be said that the whole city is composed of countless large and small mountains, and the roads in the city are also high and low, ups and downs, surrounding countless mountains, connected to each other, separated from each other in a state.

So Yao Ruoyu and their convoy moved along the way, and there was hardly a moment when it wasn't bumpy, up and down, so that everyone, whether they were riding horses or riding in a car, the whole person was constantly shaking, if it wasn't for the car sitting too much before, maybe someone would have been made into motion sickness and vomited.

In the previous world, although Yao Ruoyu and the others also stayed in Chongqing for many years, the modern Chongqing road situation is much better than the current road situation, even if there are ups and downs, but it will not be as exaggerated as now.

After closing his eyes and pretending to sleep for a while, Yao Ruoyu reluctantly opened his eyes and put on his glasses again, seeing that his eyebrows were furrowed, the soldier in charge of driving hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, the road in Chongqing is like this......"

"Oh, it's okay, it's also an experience......" Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then reacted and said with a smile, "It's also quite interesting, it's like riding a roller coaster." ”

"Speaking of the old demon, you dare to ride like a roller coaster...... In the carriage, Wu Xue poked out her little head and muttered, "Don't you have a fear of heights?

Yao Ruoyu was embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly snorted: "What nonsense? Who has ever sat on this thing?"

Wu Xue was suddenly anxious, stretched out her fleshy little hand and pointed at him, and said hurriedly: "You actually deny it?

Yao Ruoyu's eyes rolled and he sneered: "Oh, where is Kai Kai?"

"He ......" Wu Xue suddenly froze, and Song Kai, who is the current Minister of Literature and Art, naturally crossed over with everyone, but now the ghost knows where he is now, how can he find a witness at this time?

Seeing that Wu Xue's face was blue, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "What's the matter?

"Ahh

"Hey, hey, it's still on the mountain road!" Hou Jingru and the others in the carriage were suddenly shocked, the roads in Chongqing in this era were not smooth, not to mention that now everyone happened to drive on the suspension bridge between the two mountains, and as the carriage swayed, the entire suspension bridge swayed with it.

After the carriage staggered across the suspension bridge, Wu Xue was finally pulled back into the carriage by the terrified crowd, and Yao Ruoyu rubbed his neck helplessly and sat down again.

Seeing that it was finally quiet, Zhang Ziqiang suddenly whispered, "Brother Yao?"

"Huh?" Yao Ruoyu turned his head to look, saw Zhang Ziqiang's hesitant face, and smiled unconsciously, "What's wrong?"

"You guys really...... Don't you plan to stay?" After a slight hesitation, Zhang Ziqiang said solemnly, "Although I have said it a few times, don't you think that it is too dangerous to go out and travel in this environment?"

(Have you endured it for a long time, Ziqiang...... ）

With a sigh in his heart, Yao Ruoyu said softly: "If we stay, what about the others?"

"Others?" Zhang Ziqiang was slightly stunned, and before he could understand, he heard Yao Ruoyu continue: "I have recalled, there were more than 20 of us on the stage that day, and since we all crossed over, then they must have also crossed over." ”

Taking a deep breath, Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice: "It's just that until now, only the nine of us have gathered together, and the others don't know their whereabouts, in this case, how can you let me stay here with peace of mind?"

"But ......" opened his mouth, Zhang Ziqiang argued with some difficulty, "After all, the Yanggu Army is the number one male army in China, if you can hold a high position here, it is more convenient to use the channels of the Yanggu Army than to go out and run around, right?"

"But that's just one method, isn't it?" Shrugging casually, Yao Ruoyu smiled, "You have already joined the Yanggu Army, so it means that we already have this method, in that case, why don't we try other methods?

Hou Jingru pursed her mouth, and her green little fox eyes were full of curiosity: "But Brother Demon, we don't know where everyone is!

"Do you think it's troublesome?" Yao Ruoyu smiled and said softly, "You probably don't know very well how backward communication was in ancient times, but you have to think that there is no Internet, no telephone, no newspaper, no mobile phone in this world, and you have to find everyone through the channels of the Yanggu Army, there is still a few chances in the Great Song Dynasty, but what about the other three countries?"

Fu Feng sulked his face, and only then did he speak: "I think what Brother Yao said makes sense. ”

Wu Xuebian flattened her mouth and muttered in a low voice: "Vanity ......"

"What?" Yang Renjie, who was sitting next to her, didn't hear clearly, and said confusedly, "Wu Xue, what did you say?"

"No saliking!" made a grimace, Wu Xue smiled and picked up a string of sugar gourds and licked them.

Glancing at Wu Xue speechlessly, Yao Ruoyu turned his head to look at the few people who didn't speak, and said lightly: "I know that this decision is very hasty, and I haven't notified everyone in advance, but as far as I think, this is the best way at this stage, on the one hand, let Ziqiang look for everyone in the Great Song Dynasty through the Yanggu Army, and on the other hand, we will travel the world and visit the other three countries to find everyone's traces." ”

"I always feel that the old demon you have a feeling that you want to commit suicide by seppuku to apologize......" Yang Renjie first laughed, and then said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I actually want to stay here to help the big pit, but after listening to what the old demon said, I feel that your plan is actually the best." ”

"Then listen to Brother Demon," Jiang Siyu, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "Only in this way can we find Li ...... as quickly and efficiently as possible Everyone. ”

Li Yilin squeezed his eyebrows at Jiang Siyu for a while, and grinned: "Actually, Sister Jiang, you want to say that you can find Brother Jian the fastest, right?" It's a pity that no one noticed him talking.

Chen Meng, who was thinking about it, scratched his hair, and his two thick eyebrows were twisted into an embarrassing word, it could be seen that he was also very sad, seeing his sad face, Wu Xue grinned and said: "Chen Meng, why do you want to do so much, anyway, don't you just follow the public?"

"That's right!" Chen Meng suddenly felt his mouth open when he heard this, slapped his thigh hard, and was about to continue talking, when he was slapped on the shoulder by Fu Feng beside him very hard.

When Chen Meng looked at it suspiciously, he saw Fu Feng rubbing his shoulders and complaining: "Master Meng, no matter how excited you are, can you beat yourself?"

Wu Xue, who was watching coldly, smiled and complained: "Actually, the cute master wanted to slap his thigh, but he accidentally slapped the mad dog on your shoulder......"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to kill her!"

"Hey, mad dog, calm down!"

"We're going up the trail again...... Help!"

"Wow Ka Ka Ka you can't kill me!"

After a few minutes, everyone finally left the crumbling suspension bridge and lay on the windows of the car with pale faces.

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Yang Renjie said in a trembling voice: "We...... Alive, right?"

"Well, it should be...... Let's be alive. Chen Meng, who hugged Yang Renjie's thigh tightly, nodded in a trance, as if he couldn't believe that he had escaped death.

Just when everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of escaping death, Zhang Ziqiang also slowly loosened the hair on the back of the black dragon's neck, and wiped a cold sweat with palpitations, but then he found that he still had a handful of thick black hair in his palm, and he immediately became embarrassed, and quickly turned his head, pretending not to see the aggrieved gaze of the mount under him.

After passing several suspension bridges and several streets in a row, everyone finally came to the Chu Wangfu.

Chu Wangfu is located in the west of Chongqing on the Exiang Ridge, the whole mountain is located in the Yangtze River, Jialing River north and south confluence of the steep wall, its shape is like a goose neck, so it is named.

The terrain of Exiang Ridge is treacherous and steep, and it happens to be in the west of Chongqing City, which has become a natural defensive barrier of the city. Because of its special geographical environment, Chu Yangge specially widened the size of Chu Mansion, so that it almost covered most of the Exiang Ridge.

In order to guard against the enemy army of the Jin State in the west, Chu Madge specially stationed the five armies of the Green Armor Battalion, the Maniac Battalion, the Peacock Battalion, the Yulan Battalion, and the Miqing Battalion, which belonged to the Jade Army, in the Chu Palace.

The five armies, which were close to one-third of the Yanggu Army's strength, stood around the Chu family's private house and established five camps codenamed Jinmu, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Because of this, there is no sign of the Chu Wangfu standing against the mountain, on the contrary, the Chu Wangfu with the towering courtyard wall resembles a mountain, starting from the outer courtyard wall to the Chu family's private residence in the center, completely covering the entire Exiang Ridge.
