Chapter 423: How many dragons and snakes are in the rivers and lakes
After the luncheon, everyone tasted tea for a while, then left Zou Mansion and set off to continue their journey.
Back on the boat, there was more Zou Feifei in the team, but this woman was not as cheerful as before, her face was like frost, even if she knew the identity of Yao Ruoyu and others, she didn't talk to them much, but followed Zhang Ziqiang step by step.
After playing a game of war games with Yao Ruoyu in a suppressed manner, Zhang Ziqiang finally turned around, frowned at Zou Feifei who was standing behind him, and said coldly: "If you don't want to, I'll let the boat turn around and send you back." ”
Zou Feifei didn't squint, looked into the distance, and said lightly: "No need, this is my father's order, the people's daughter will do it, if the little prince thinks the people's girl is shabby, the people's girl will stand farther away." ”
Seeing Zhang Ziqiang's helpless face, Zou Buyi smiled: "With a beautiful woman with him, why should the little prince worry, just treat it as enjoyment." ”
Glancing at him, Zhang Ziqiang snorted and said, "Mr. Zou, you don't have backache when you stand and talk, why don't you try it instead?"
"Don't dare, don't dare," Zou Buyi laughed, "How dare Buyi, the little prince is martial arts, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, but Buyi is a weak scholar, where can he stop Miss Zou's 'Plum Blossom Eighteen Falls'." ”
Zou Feifei, who got on the boat, actually wore two short knives on her waist, the handle was tied with a red rope, and the body of the knife was tattooed with countless red spots.
In the previous conversation, everyone knew that this woman was an outer disciple of a sword sect in Longxing Mansion in the south of Jiangzhou, and she had to pass on a set of sword techniques called "Plum Blossom Chaos", and her strength was currently four realms and nine folds, which was not the top, but among the younger generation, she could barely be regarded as the middle class.
Longxing Mansion is the seat of Jiangxi Road through the Slightly Unified Division, and it is also the famous city of Nanchang in later generations, the Mo family from Mo Shu is located in Longxing Mansion, originally Yao Ruoyu was going to take a detour to be a guest, but then calculated the time, and found that it may not be too late to arrive in Hangzhou if he detoured, so he could only give up this idea.
Leaving Jiangzhou, the boat soon entered Poyang Lake, from the vast and boundless lake with the wind, without half a day's effort, everyone has passed through Poyang County, came to Fuliang County in Jiangzhou.
Fuliang County is a famous porcelain town, most of the porcelain used by the royal family of the Song Dynasty comes from the official kiln here, and the big people of each vassal king, economic envoy and other separating parties, will also order a large number of porcelain here every year, making the name of porcelain in Fuliang County more and more resounding.
The news that Yao Ruoyu and the others would pass by here had obviously been spread, and when the boat arrived at the dock, Li Tonghai of Fuliang Zhixian County had already led the crowd to greet him, and standing on his left and right sides were not the officials under the command of the chief bookkeeper, but two people with almost identical appearances but completely different temperaments.
The younger one should be about the same age as Zou Feifei, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a well-behaved temperament, looking at Yao Ruoyu's eyes with a bit of excitement and admiration, and the other one is estimated to be in his early twenties, tall, with willow eyebrows like knives, and a short sword carved of white jade behind his back, his whole body is heroic, and the sword is awe-inspiring.
Although the two girls have the same appearance, their temperament is completely different, the older one is heroic, like a chivalrous sword, the younger one is well-behaved and clever, revealing the youthful childishness that only a girl has.
Seeing the excitement in the young girl's eyes, Yao Ruoyu smiled slightly, walked off the deck side by side with Zhang Ziqiang, and hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask, but is Lord Li of Fuliang Zhixian County?"
"In front of King Wen, I don't dare to be called an adult. Li Tonghai is forty years old, with an elegant temperament, a ram's beard hangs down on his chest, fluttering in the wind, and he is not wearing an official uniform, but a wide green shirt, which is even more graceful.
After a few polite words with Li Tonghai, Yao Ruoyu looked at Li Shuyi, who was in tears next to her, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Pulling Yao Ruoyu's sleeve, Li Shuyi shyly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said happily: "Brother Yao is here this time, you must stay for a few more days, so that my sister can treat you well." ”
"Brother Yao. ”
Fan Difei, who was following behind, heard this, and immediately repeated it in a weird manner, while Hu Xian, Li Huan, and Wu Xue bent over with a smile and looked at Yao Ruoyu teasingly.
Glaring at a few people, Yao Ruoyu smiled with Li Shuyi, and then smiled with Li Tonghai: "Lord Li doesn't need to be polite, this time I am walking with the little prince to go to Hangdu to pay tribute, I can't stay too long, and I will leave after dinner." ”
Li Tonghai felt slightly regretful, his second daughter and this King Wen knew when he returned home from Changqing Valley to save his relatives, and this time he led the crowd to greet him, in addition to wanting to make friends with the vassal king who had just occupied Sichuan, he also had the idea of getting acquainted with Zhang Ziqiang, the righteous son of the king of Chu.
Seeing that Yao Ruoyu was not polite, Li Tonghai was not reluctant, after all, he was not a veteran of the Yanggu Army like Zou Shenjing, he didn't dare to cross his identity, and he was about to beckon everyone into the city, but when he saw Zhang Ziqiang looking at his eldest daughter in a daze, his heart moved slightly, and he was naturally not angry but happy.
If it was in the past, when he encountered this kind of apprentice, Li Tonghai would have ordered someone to beat him with a stick, but the other party was the righteous son of the king of Chu, the third on the splendid list, and the hot rookie in the Great Song Dynasty military, so his attitude was naturally very different.
Clearing his throat, Li Tonghai said with a smile: "This is the eldest daughter of the villain, Shuting, and I haven't seen the two adults yet." ”
The woman with the jade sword on her back hugged her fist with the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, and said with a smile: "Little girl Li Shuting, I have seen two adults. ”
Seeing that Zhang Ziqiang was still staring at the other party in a daze, Yao Ruoyu had no choice but to step on him, and the former came back to his senses, his face was rarely red, his bloody eyes flashed slightly, and he bowed in return.
Because standing behind Zhang Ziqiang, Zou Feifei didn't see his gaze, but listening to the words of a few people, she could hear some taste, and suddenly her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her heart was a little jealous.
When the group walked into the city, Fuliang County was not big, and Li Tonghai's mansion was not luxurious, so he simply set up a banquet in the top restaurant in the city to entertain everyone.
Walking on the road, Wu Xue suddenly squeezed to Zou Feifei's side and said with a smile: "Hey, are you jealous?"
"What?" Zou Feifei glanced at him coldly, frowned, "What are you jealous of?"
Wu Xue smiled evilly: "Still pretending! I saw it just now! Don't you hate Brother Qiang? Just like that, jealousy has made you unrecognizable." ”
Wu Xue had a poor reputation in the literary army in the past, and Zou Feifei had never heard of her, thinking that she was Yao Ruoyu's maid, but when she saw her familiar appearance, she was dissatisfied, but because of Yao Ruoyu in front of her, she could only be silent.
Wu Xue was harassing her, Li Huan and Hu Xian also came over, one of the two girls had a stunning face, the other had a hot figure, they were all rare beauties, Zou Feifei felt slightly filthy, and moved her steps a little uncomfortably.
Hu Xian's mind was delicate and noticed this, but Li Huan didn't pay attention to it, leaned over and chuckled: "If you like Brother Qiang, we will help you chase him! Men chase women across the mountain, women chase men across the veil, at most two or three days of hard work, to ensure that you can be caught!"
Zou Feifei is heroic no matter how heroic she is, after all, she is a woman of the Song Dynasty, and when she encounters this kind of shameless woman for the first time, her cheeks immediately turned red, and she said in shame: "How can you ......be so shameless? Who's going to pursue him!"
Shrugging her shoulders, Hu Xian grabbed Li Huan and said with a smile: "Oh, don't you want to chase Brother Qiang, then we'll help Brother Qiang chase that Li Shuting! ”
Fuliang County belongs to Jiangzhou, Zou Feifei and Li Shuting have also met in the past, but one of the two is the only daughter of Zhizhou, and the other is the eldest daughter of Zhizhou, their identities are very different, where is Zou Feifei willing to succumb to Li Shuting, and suddenly her eyebrows rose, and she wanted to scold, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly changed for some reason: "Then, how to chase him?"
Hu Xian, Wu Xue, and Li Huan all laughed evilly when they heard this, muttering around her, and they didn't know what conspiracy they were talking about.
Yao Ruoyu didn't pay attention to the bad behavior of the women behind him, at this time he was walking side by side with Li Shuyi, listening to the girl chattering about what happened after everyone returned to Evergreen Valley after the first battle in Longmen Town that day.
Hearing that Su Jing, Mo Shu, and Ni Chan broke through the Five Realms one after another and went down the mountain, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but smile and said: "With their qualifications, they should indeed break through to the Five Realms, what about Gongsun Zhan and Jiang Jihu?"
Li Shuyi replied with a smile: "They haven't done it yet, but it should be soon! After all, there is no barrier between heaven and man from the Four Realms to the Five Realms, and when I went down the mountain and went home a few years ago, they had already reached the Four Realms to perfection, and I don't know what happened now." ”
Looking at the girl, Yao Ruoyu chuckled and said, "You're not bad! ”
Seeing through the cultivation, Li Shuyi's pretty face flushed, and her eyes showed a bit of longing: "Master said that I will be able to break through to the Five Realms in half a year, and this time after the New Year, on the fifteenth day of the first month, I will also go back to the valley for retreat." ”
"Then congratulations in advance, junior sister, on your breakthrough through the Five Realms!" hugged his fists, Yao Ruo smiled foolishly.
Li Shuyi grinned, suddenly grabbed Yao Ruoyu's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yao, why does the little prince always stare at his sister!
Yao Ruoyu glanced at Zhang Ziqiang, who was talking to Li Tonghai in front of him, and sure enough, when he saw him secretly glancing at Li Shuting, he was immediately happy and said with a smile: "This little prince is an amazing hero, you know the splendid list, right? He is ranked third, he is very tight, you don't want such a powerful brother-in-law? In the future, if you bully you, he can also support you!"
Crooked her mouth slightly, Li Shuyi snorted and said: "I don't need him to support me! When I get to the Five Realms, I won't be afraid of being bullied by others, besides, there is my sister! My sister is already a strong person in the Five Realms, so she can support me." ”
Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, because of politeness, he did not use his spiritual sense to probe Li Shuting's cultivation, and only then did he know that the heroic woman was actually a Five Realms general.
Among the younger generation, most of the top-notch characters have broken through to the Five Realms, while the middle-class ones are hovering in front of the threshold of the Five Realms and are slow to enter, only those who do not enter the stream are still lingering in the Second Realm and the Third Realm.
This Li Shuting and Zhang Ziqiang are about the same age, seeing that most of her backgrounds are also general, she didn't expect that she could break through the Five Realms so quickly, obviously her qualifications are also extraordinary, at least she can be regarded as a middle-class talent.
Along the way, Yao Ruoyu docked several times along the way, and also met some famous local geniuses, although most of them did not break through the Five Realms, but all of them were like Jiang Jihu and others, wandering in front of the Five Realms, and they might step over the threshold at any time and become generals.
In all the countries of China, the eight realms and seven realms are the top signboards, the five realms and the six realms are the mainstays, and the next ones are at most cannon fodder.
But along the way, Yao Ruoyu saw countless outstanding people who will become the mainstay in the future, which also made him secretly sigh that the Song Dynasty is worthy of being the most prosperous Chinese power in all Chinese countries.
It is said that there are countless heroes in the civil and military affairs of various dynasties, but in the folk rivers and lakes, how many heroes are nameless and surnameless, waiting for the opportunity for the dragon and snake to rise to land.
