The smooth curve of the hull retracts the shelf, and the light glide from the harbor into the waterway under the gaze of many people, passing through the center of the waterway, makes the onlookers feel that the ship is even more extraordinary.

Originally, the canal was divided into several waterways, and the middle one was called "Imperial Road". It is a waterway that can only be passed by the ships of the imperial generals and ministers, and even some imperial merchants can only pass through the waterway when they are supplied with materials, and they must not pass through this waterway unless they are idle and noble, and they also avoid some big people on the waterway from colliding with the busy waterway traffic.

Every other section of the canal waterway, there will be a waterway carding opening, and there will also be some roving water supervisors to supervise the operation of waterway traffic.

Therefore, it is often necessary to look at the dignity of the boats on the waterway, and sometimes it is not the luxury of the boat, but the way the other party is traveling, whether it is the central channel of the canal.

Ships leave the harbor and slide straight into the central waterway, passing through the central channel without hindrance, and there is no need to queue up to pass through the sluice pass set up on the waterway, passing in a straight line, which invisibly shows a kind of privilege.

Sailing in the central channel, looking at the prosperous traffic on both sides of the waterway, the lights on both sides of the river are brilliant, Queen Qingping seems to have infinite feelings in the cool breeze, Li Yan bowed from the side and said softly, " Along the way, the queen Niangniang's encounter has been investigated, Xiangguo is very angry, the empire's military department and the Wei Yuan have begun to investigate, the empire's people have been investigating in the land of Aoki Fort, is chasing the only remaining double knife assassin, think about coming in a few days, will give Niangniang a reply, let these outlaws who have eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard know that dare to attack Niangniang, no matter who is involved, will not be tolerated, violating the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, there is only a dead end. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ze and Queen Qingping were both slightly stunned, and Queen Qingping looked at Li Yan and frowned slightly, "Lord Xiangguo, why isn't it my father?"

Li Yan's body bowed lower, "His Majesty the Emperor has been taking care of government affairs recently, and his mood and body are not good, this matter has been blocked by Lord Xiangguo first, and he will focus on letting the military and the Imperial Weiwei Institute investigate, and when the truth is revealed, it will be reported to the emperor for decision." I believe that when the queen mother saw the emperor, she would already know something. ”

Queen Qingping and Yang Ze glanced at each other, and they both saw the expression of each other's eyes, which was even more dignified. Li Yan accurately grasped the demeanor of the two, and naturally did not dare to show anything to Queen Qingping, but looked at Yang Ze, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.

The tone was light, but he said lightly, "It's not that the queen doesn't believe that Lord Xiangguo can find out the origin of the assassin, that is, Li Yan immediately repaired a book, and immediately reported the situation before and after." ”

"It's not necessary," Queen Qingping shook her head, "This matter is presided over by Lord Xiangguo, there should be no mistakes, and even so, I am also a little tired."

Li Yan hurriedly sent her into the cabin of the ship.

Yang Ze was almost certain that if this Li Yan was not bought by Xiangguo, he would be Xiangguo's person. The worry contained in Queen Qingping's glance at her just now, Yang Ze also knew it well. This matter was arbitrarily decided by Xiang Guo, and it was blocked at his level, and it was obvious that if he was the main messenger behind it, then I was afraid that I would never think about it in broad daylight again. What's more, the matter was strictly controlled, and the military department had already gone to the place where Aoki Fort was fighting at this time to investigate, and they also knew that even the military department acted as secretive as possible. No one knew that the queen had returned to the Empire, and no one cared if she had returned. In this way, I am afraid that even the assassination of the queen is enough to shake the imperial government and the opposition, and it will eventually be controlled and will not be over.

Because Xiangguo Liu Shulou, no matter what the reason, would never want this matter to be known by more people, setting off a chain reaction of shocks outside his control. ..., but they didn't have anything to do about it.

Not thinking of a way, Yang Ze simply didn't think about it, and stepped out of the deck, and saw Han Xue, Chu Wei, Tao Ziyi, Bai Sen and others gathering together, and next to them, there were also Zong Shou, as well as several Qiu Dao Academy cultivators and Da Ye Guard military generals.

They sat in a circle, listening to the energetic Parson tell some interesting stories, sometimes laughing, sometimes exclaiming.

Under the light and shadow, Han Xue seemed to be out of place in the circle, like a braggart to Parson, she had already heard calluses, so Daye's people were shocked when they heard it, and her companions Chu Wei, Tao Ziyi and others were also coaxing, but she did not sink into their atmosphere.

So she also saw Yang Ze from a distance, and the two glanced at each other, and she turned her head.

Yang Ze thought about it, and then walked towards everyone. Seeing Yang Ze coming, Da Ye cultivators and military generals all stood up one after another and saluted Yang Ze.

Han Xue had shown his unkindness to Yang Ze many times before, but he didn't expect him to walk towards them generously at this time, because he was a little cramped for a while, his butt was originally sitting on the guardrail, but at this time he also gently retracted it, quietly moved down, and stood on the ground with both feet.

Zong Shou said to the four, "This is my eldest brother Yang Ze, I have never left the fishing village before, it was Brother Yang and Sister Song Zhen who took me away, and after that, I followed him." ”

Tao Ziyi and the others bowed to Yang Ze one after another, "I've seen Brother Yang." ”

Probably chatting with them very hotly, Zong Shou continued, "At that time, in the Great Ye Kingdom, when the Seven Jue Dharma King attacked, my Brother Yang jumped on the iceberg to fight against the Seven Jue Dharma King of the Orthodox Sect before the Thousand Ships, and he was also evenly divided, and he did not fall behind!"

Yang Zegang wanted to say something to stop it, but he didn't expect that Zong Shou, who had a big tongue, would actually publicize his deeds first, and then when the four of them looked at Yang Ze carefully, Zong Shou said again, "Sister Han Xue, you just said that my exercises are in the outer horizontal training body, which is very good. But in fact, I can get to this point now, and it is also thanks to Brother Yang, if it wasn't for his advice, I would never have been able to enter the realm like this. ”

Yang Ze was stunned, but then he saw Zong Shou wink at him, and his dark pupils flashed with a bit of imperceptible agility. Yang Ze immediately understood where he was playing a slippery head. Zong Shou's appearance gives people a sense of honesty, but in fact he is extremely smart, which is probably related to the environment he has been in since he was a child, the old man Wu Zong was born to treat him very harshly, Zong Shou not only has a distorted mentality in this environment where he is often beaten and scolded, but on the contrary, he has practiced the agility of his mind, on the one hand, he knows that he and his grandfather Wu Zong are already dependent on each other, on the other hand, in order to avoid his frequent beating and scolding, his hands and feet are diligent and quick, and he is the best at observing words and feelings.

This formed the current Zongshou, seeing him blink, Yang Ze knew his careful thoughts, it turned out that he had already discovered the four people led by Han Xue of the Cangyuan Academy, and Yang Ze didn't seem to have much of a good impression of the relatively cold personality, not to mention that he heard that he was the leader of the escort mission this time, so he naturally had some suspicion of him.

In comparison, they also prefer to show good strength, honest and cheerful Zong Shou. Obviously, Zong Shou wanted to dispel their indifference to him, so he deliberately highlighted his Yang Ze deeds to reverse the four people's impression of him.

"Oh?" Chu Wei, Bai Sen, and Tao Ziyi looked at Yang Ze with a surprised look on their faces, "I didn't expect Brother Yang to have such strength." The tone was a little uncertain.

But it was Han Xue, who was pretty and handsome with short hair, but she just smiled lightly and said, "Is that Dharma King of the Orthodox Sect very powerful? As far as I know, that Orthodox Sect has just been purged from the country by the Empire, do they have the strength to harass Daye, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead." ”

These words choked everyone in Daye, and even Chu Wei, Bai Sen, and Tao Ziyi showed embarrassment. ..., the Orthodox Church is the high-veined state religion, and its influence has tentacles throughout dozens of large and small countries in the Eastern Continent. But that's only in the south of the continent.

In the Tang Empire, in the eyes of the Orthodox Church, it is nothing more than a third-rate sect, and even in the eyes of the traditional Tang Dynasty, although the Gaowen Empire entrenched in the south is powerful, it is like a cheetah, fierce and cunning. But the Tang Empire is a lion. As long as there is a day when the lion of the Tang Dynasty exists, the Gaowen Empire may confront each other from the side, or grinning its teeth, but it will never dare to act rashly, let alone an Orthodox Church.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were almost impressed. If you want to talk about impressions, maybe it's like what Han Xue said, is the other party very powerful? If so, how can you drive the empire out of the country?

Chu Wei, Bai Sen Tao Ziyi, that is, not to embarrass Yang Ze, so as not to surprise his strength, in fact, they may have heard of the name of the Seven Jue Dharma King, but what is the concept of the other party, they have no way of knowing, and they are not interested in knowing.

And Han Xue went straight to the point, ignoring the people with embarrassed expressions, and went straight back to the room.

Looking at Han Xue's back, Chu Wei and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads, and said to Yang Ze, "Brother Yang, please don't care, she is such a character." ”

Yang Ze smiled and signaled that it was okay, looking at Han Xue's direction, but he also had some good feelings for her joy and displeasure that was not hidden.

The ship sailed for another day and a night, and rested in the enlightened city of the Empire.

Kaiming City is a large city in the empire, the port is grand, and there are many more treasure ships among the ships moored, and it is not too rare to find the one where Queen Qingping is located. Anchored in Kaiming City, it is obvious that the downtown area outside the port is crowded with people, and it seems that some kind of activity is going on.

Li Yan accompanied Queen Qingping and said, "The third princess has been away from the empire for a long time, but she doesn't know that in the past ten years, this trend has gradually formed in Kaiming City. This is the annual "Mingqi" sale in Enlightened City. The Ming Instrument is the secret medicine of cultivation, the spirit ore, and the clear code of medicinal materials. At this time of year, many well-known imperial merchants would open stores in Kaiming City to sell their own cultivation utensils. Because of the strong purchasing power, there will be some sky-high treasures here every year!Hehe, of course, there are countless treasures in the imperial palace, and the three princesses may not be able to look down on these objects, but if the three princesses are interested, Li Yan can buy some treasures and pay tribute to the three princesses. ”

Because of the aftermath of the assassination, the deeper she went into the empire, the higher the protection level of Queen Qingping became, and on the ship alone, there were six Tianxuan masters from the Great Ye Wei Academy brought by Li Yan. Protected at any time, in addition, the vicinity of the ship is protected and guarded by the elite guards of the empire, in this case, Queen Qingping naturally cannot move freely.

She frowned slightly, then stretched out and smiled at Li Yan, "It seems to be very interesting to meet at the right time, even so, there is no need to bother Master Li." Let Yang Ze help me choose some commemorative objects. ”

"Yang Ze?" Li Yan frowned, and looked at the junior official escorted by Daye, although there was a lot of hesitation on his face, but when he thought that this was always much better than Queen Qingping getting off the boat, he had to nod and said, "The Enlightened City is huge, this Junior Brother Yang may not be able to find it, Han Xue and the four of them are all cultivators of the Cangyuan Academy, so they are naturally familiar with this kind of Ming Ware Store, and it just so happens that they are going to get off the boat to buy some cultivation needs, so let me arrange for people to lead Junior Brother Yang and his party to the way?"
