"The sun is at the end of the mountain, the Yellow Mountain flows into the sea, and you want to be poor for thousands of miles......"

"Hurry up and eat!"

"Wu Xue!"

Zhengnong's poetry was suddenly interrupted, Yao Ruoyu looked at Wu Xue who took a sugar gourd with some tears and laughter, and said helplessly: "Anyway, you can't take out anything else except the sugar gourd?"

"Ahh Wu Xue wrinkled her nose dissatisfied, then put away the sugar gourd with a weak heart, and instead took out a sheep's horn pear and bit it with a sigh.

Holding his forehead with one hand, Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly: "Don't you have anything else in your backpack except food?"

"Do you need anything to prepare besides food?" Blinking, Wu Xue looked at Yao Ruoyu with some curiosity.

After staring at each other for a moment, Yao Ruoyu finally turned his head with a wry smile and sighed, "It's good that you're happy." ”

Seeing Yao Ruoyu eating deflated, Fu Feng smiled very happily: "Brother Yao, Wu Xue can conquer even a little prince like Chu Zheng, and you have to fight with her like a dick, who can blame you for being abused?"

Seeing him laughing at himself, Yao Ruoyu smiled unconsciously, and didn't care, supported his waist with one hand, and looked at the river in the distance again.

Last night, when Zhang Ziqiang returned to the Chu Palace, Yao Ruoyu told him about the imminent departure of everyone.

Although he had already estimated that everyone was about to leave, when he really knew, Zhang Ziqiang was still reluctant. Fortunately, he also knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and his heart was no better than before, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.

The next day, cough, that is, this morning, accompanied by Zhang Ziqiang, Yao Ruoyu and others paid a special visit to Chu Yangge, expressed their intention to leave, and expressed their gratitude and apologies for the harassment of these days.

After a brief visit, the delegation of the Ministry of Literature and Art left the Chu Wangfu and went to Chaotianmen Wharf to take a boat.

Chaotianmen Wharf is located at the confluence of the Jialing River and the Yangtze River, starting from here, along the Jialing River all the way to the northwest, about tomorrow morning you will arrive at Hezhou City.

Because he was riding in the carriage of the Chu Palace, as soon as he arrived at the wharf, an official in charge of Chaotianmen rushed out to greet him, and then quickly arranged a passenger ship for Yao Ruoyu and others.

The passenger ship was not large, but it was enough for eight of them, plus two boatmen.

When they first set off, everyone was quite excited, standing on the deck and constantly looking at the surrounding river scenery, but after waiting for an hour, everyone gradually lost interest, and most of them simply returned to the cabin to rest, only Yao Ruoyu, Wu Xue and Fu Feng were still on the deck.

After chatting for a while, Fu Feng and Wu Xue gradually lost interest, and they both returned to the cabin to rest, leaving Yao Ruoyu alone on the deck.

"Childe, we won't be here until tomorrow, aren't you going to rest and rest?" Seeing that Yao Ruoyu had been blowing the wind on the deck, a boatman couldn't help but ask.

Waving his hand, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "It's okay, I rarely take a boat since I was a child, so I'm more interested." ”

"Oh, that's not quite like that," the boatman smiled, pulling the cable, and said with a smile, "Look at the son, you don't look seasick at all, it's not like we Sichuan and Shu people, but more like Jiangnan people!"

smiled, Yao Ruoyu's eyes inexplicably floated a little emotion: "I am from Zhejiang." ”

"That's a rich place," said the boatman, tying up the cables, and said with a smile, "where the capital of our Great Song Dynasty is." ”

"Hangzhou?" Yao Ruoyu smiled casually and asked, "Master, how long have you been this boatman?"

Touching his forehead, the boatman replied: "For more than ten years, our family was originally to kill pigs, but I didn't think that the group of golden dogs came over back then, our old man is gone, and the pigs are dead, but fortunately, the old man at that time was good, and he helped us all arrange work, otherwise we would have starved to death!"

"Hmm, the general leader at that time wasn't Xu Jingmiao, right?" After thinking about it, Yao Ruoyu asked casually.

"Yes!" replied with a smile, and the boatman suddenly said curiously, "But Childe, what are you doing in Hezhou City? I heard that there is chaos there, there are horse bandits and bandits everywhere, and the golden dog is also making trouble there, which is strange and dangerous!"

Raising his eyebrows, Yao Ruoyu asked with interest, "Isn't there still a city lord of Hezhou City?"

"He?" first pouted disdainfully, then the boatman looked at Yao Ruoyu with some fear, and hurriedly smiled, "Yes, too, there is also the city lord of Hezhou City." ”

Seeing the abnormality on his face, Yao Ruoyu was unconsciously curious: "Uncle, let's listen to it!"

When the boatman heard this, he hesitated: "This...... This one...... You're a big guy, we're just a boatman......"

Vaguely understood what he meant, Yao Ruoyu smiled and pulled him to sit down, then took out a bottle of Lao Baigan and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Yes, let's just say it boring, what about you talk about it casually, and I can listen to it casually, and forget it after hearing it, how about it?"

Seeing the bottle of Jiangjin Lao Baigan, the boatman couldn't help but swallow his saliva, hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but reach out and take the wine bottle, and said with a dry smile: "Cheng, then I'll talk about it casually...... Childe, just listen to it. ”

"Good. Yao Ruoyu nodded and agreed with a smile.

After drinking a few sips of Lao Baigan, the boatman's dark face also had a little dizziness, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the current city lord of Hezhou City, it is really not a thing, relying on the fact that he is the godson of Qin Xiangye, he drove away the original city lord of Hezhou, and sat in this position by himself. ”

"As a result, after this guy became the lord of the city, he did not dare to deal with the horse bandits and bandits around him, so he built a sub-city in the east of the state city and moved the city lord's mansion there," said the boatman, who slapped his thigh with some anger and scolded, "As a result, he did this, and the magnates in the city moved their families there, leaving only the common people in Hezhou City." ”

Yao Ruoyu's face turned unaware when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "In this way, isn't Hezhou City unguarded?"

"That's it!" After taking a sip of Lao Baigan, the boatman lamented, "Since then, Hezhou City has completely fallen into the hands of horse bandits and bandits, three days of small taxation, five days of large taxation, the whole people are not able to make a living, and the city lord not only does not care about these, but also sends people to continue to collect taxes, son, you say, so many families collect taxes together, can the people live a good life?"

"What a fart!" Yang Renjie, who didn't know when he came over, slapped the handrail on the side of the deck and said angrily, "Why doesn't that guy die?

"Who cares?" with a wry smile, the boatman sighed, "He is Qin Xiangye's godson, relying on Qin Xiangye's power, the King of Chu and the Commander-in-Chief are in the way of Xiangye, and they can't control it at all." ”

With a bite of his steel teeth, Yang Renjie said angrily: "I originally thought that Chu Crazy Ge and Xu Jingmiao were good people, but I didn't expect to bully the soft and fear the hard so much!"

"That can't be said like that!" Glancing at Yang Renjie, the boatman said helplessly, "The King of Chu and the Commander-in-Chief are both good people, but Qin Xiangye's power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and they can't afford to offend Qin Xiangye at all." ”

Frowning slightly, Yao Ruoyu glanced at the boatman suspiciously, obviously he didn't understand, Chu Yangge, who was a powerhouse of the Eight Realms, would actually care about that Qin Xiangye? Could it be that the other party was also a powerhouse of the Eight Realms?

But......

"Qin Xiangye?" Blinking his eyes, Yao Ruoyu suddenly frowned, "Qin Hui?"

The boatman suddenly looked panicked, quickly looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Hey, childe, don't call Qin Xiangye's name! ”

"I'm looking for trouble. Smiling, Yao Ruoyu replied casually, after all, their goal was to travel all over China to find their lost classmates, compared to this kind of thing, offending Qin Hui and the others was really nothing.

In fact, after being convinced that Qin Xiangye was Qin Hui, Yao Ruoyu didn't have much fear of this person, after all, it was still difficult for him to hook this scum who had been stinking for thousands of years with the powerhouse of the Eight Realms.

As far as he thought, the reason why Chu Yangge was worried about the other party was mostly because the other party was the prime minister, and it was not good to interfere by force.

Seeing that the boatman was drunk, Yao Ruoyu deliberately inquired about the situation in Hezhou City, which was also consistent with most of what he knew, including the existence of the five heroes in Hezhou, which was indeed the Taoyuan Gang, the Town Guard Mansion, the White Crane Academy, the Wildfire Thieves and the Black Wolf Rider.

The wildfire thieves are the bandits supported by the people of the Jin Kingdom, the black wolf riders are the horse bandits formed by the descendants of the Liao State, and the Taoyuan Gang is said to have been built by the descendants of Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty.

As for the White Crane Academy, it was established by an old spiritual master in Hezhou City, who was originally just purely teaching the Confucian righteous path, but later because of the complicated situation in Hezhou City, it was repeatedly harassed by foreign enemies, so in the end, the old spiritual master simply began to teach spiritual methods, so as to train spiritual masters to protect Hezhou City.

In fact, the reason why Hezhou City, which has now been abandoned by the town guard government, has not been invaded by wildfire thieves, black wolf riders, and Taoyuan Gang is all because of the existence of the White Crane Academy, otherwise, this city would have been divided by the three reckless forces.

"But speaking of it!" Smacking his lips, the drunken boatman suddenly grabbed Yao Ruoyu and said with a smirk, "Then the Hezhou City Lord has a treasure in his hand, which can knock down the cultivator's cultivation......"

Yao Ruoyu and Yang Renjie were shocked when they heard this, and the latter changed color and said, "How is it possible?"

"Is it really good?" Although he was too drunk, the boatman still turned pale directly after hearing Yang Renjie's rebuttal, and muttered, "We are from Hezhou, have we seen it with our own eyes?"

"Uncle, are you from Hezhou?" Suddenly, Yao Ruoyu nodded suddenly.

He had been suspecting before, as the so-called "it's not about himself", if this boatman was from the main city of Chongqing, he would not be so resentful of this Hezhou city lord in his words, so he had long doubted whether this person was a native of Hezhou, and because of the relationship with the city lord, his family was in the middle of the road, so he had to go to Chongqing Mansion to be a boatman.

"Old demon, let's go teach that person a lesson, shall we?" clenched his fists, Yang Renjie smiled eagerly.

Glancing at him, Yao Ruoyu said angrily: "The other party is at least one of the five realms, are you sure you want to teach him a lesson?"

"Ahem, I'll say it casually......" Yang Renjie touched his head with some embarrassment, he ...... No, it should be said that what the entire art department is most afraid of now is the word "Five Realms", because since their debut, they have experienced life and death several times, and almost all of them were brought to them by the powerhouses of the Five Realms, so now when they hear this word, they will have a few psychological convulsions.

Smiling, Yao Ruoyu turned his head to look into the distance, and suddenly muttered in his heart: "Hezhou City Lord...... Five realms?"
