Xu Yang and the others were overjoyed when they saw that the boat had changed direction and was coming towards them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the boat gradually approached Xu Yang and the others, everyone was surprised to see that the ship was exquisite and luxurious, not a passenger ship and a merchant ship, but a bit of a boat for sightseeing and enjoying the surrounding scenery. There were two boatmen in the front and back of the boat, rowing with bamboo poles and oars, and at the bow of the boat you could vaguely see several people standing there, looking curiously and warily towards him.
After the boat gradually sailed to a place not far from Xu Yang and the others, Xu Yang was surprised to see that the few people standing on the bow of the boat were very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly found that the two people led by him were the fourth son of Long and the thirteenth prince he met in the inn in Xiang Province.
And the big tiger and the little tiger also vaguely recognized the people on the ship, and did not expect to meet these people here again. However, Liu Xiangping and Yin Su'e didn't recognize each other, because Liu Xiangping kidnapped Yin Su'e at that time, so they missed a scene in the inn.
When the ship arrived at the shore, I saw the fourth prince of Long on the boat looking at Xu Yang and the others, and he also felt that he had seen each other there, but he just thought about it, and he couldn't remember where he had seen each other.
The fourth prince of Long glanced at one of his subordinates beside him, and the subordinate understood and shouted at Xu Yang and the others: "Those people on the shore, you wait to greet me and wait here, what is the matter?"
"The fourth prince of Long and the thirteenth prince, don't you remember us? We once had a relationship in the inn of Xiang Province. At that time, there was a father and daughter who sang and had no money to return to their hometown, so you gave each other a golden bean, and we also chatted for a while. But before we knew it, we met here again. We want to get to the other side, I don't know if you can take us for a ride?" Xu Yang shouted sharply.
The fourth son of Long on the boat heard that the other party recognized him, thought about it carefully, and found that he did have such an experience, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember any impression of Xu Yang. The subordinates around him saw that the other party was a little dazed, and hurriedly whispered, which suddenly made the fourth prince of Long suddenly wake up.
And when the fourth prince of Long was about to agree to Xu Yang's request, the thirteenth prince of Long next to him hurriedly shook his head and whispered to the other party, as if he was afraid of delaying the trip and was unwilling to carry Xu Yang to the other side.
The fourth prince shook his head at Long Thirteen and said something before nodding at one of his subordinates.
When the subordinate saw that the other party agreed, he nodded to the boatman and said to Xu Yang: "Our son agreed to your request and promised to send you across the river." After saying that, the boatman on the boat stretched a gangplank to the shore and asked Xu Yang and the others to get on the boat.
Xu Yang and the others on the river bank heard that the fourth prince of Long on the boat agreed to take him across the river, smiled, and hurriedly thanked the other party again and again. After seeing the boatman put the gangplank on the shore, Xu Yang and the others hurriedly packed up their things, stepped on the gangplank, and walked onto the big boat of the fourth son of Long.
After Xu Yang and the others boarded the boat, Xu Yang and the others hurriedly thanked Long Si and Long Thirteen Gongzi: "Thank you two sons for being willing to take us to the other side." Had it not been for your timely appearance, we might have to wait the next day before we could reach the other side. ”
"When you go out, who doesn't have a difficult time! Besides, we have had a relationship, and Brother Tai and others are also heroes who fight for righteousness and squandering money. The fourth son of the dragon said with a smile.
Xu Yang and the others saw that the fourth prince of Long treated people leniently, while the thirteenth prince of Long seemed to be a thief, always wary of himself. On the other hand, the subordinates of the two of them were also cautious and cautious against themselves, for fear that they would hurt their masters.
And on the ship where everyone is located, every place shows the demeanor of a king, exquisite and luxurious, but not impetuous. It was as if the ship was a palace, a majestic palace full of the breath of a king. Everyone is even more puzzled about who the two sons are, and which of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Longjing is the son?
Xu Yang saw that the two sons were good-looking, dignified, and shook hands, and he was even more curious about what their identities were. Xu Yang asked, "Two sons, do you want to return to Longjing?"
"What Brother Xu said is true, my two brothers have been out for a long time, and it is time to return. I have heard earlier that you and the others are also going to Longjing to take the exam, so why don't you return to Longjing with us? The fourth prince of Long said.
Xu Yang and the others were overjoyed when they heard that the other party was going to take them directly to Longjing, and when they were about to agree, they saw that although the boat was huge, if they wanted to bring their group of twenty-four people on it, they were afraid that it would be very crowded.
Xu Yang thanked the other party and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the son, I have received it in my heart." To tell you the truth, there were twenty-four of us and a lot of baggage and horses, and if they were all crowded on the boat, I am afraid it would be extremely crowded. Besides, I can't wait for a trip, and I also want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the motherland all the way, so it's worth the trip. ”
"I see. It is rare for Brother Xu and others to have this opportunity, so it will no longer be difficult for us to be strong. There are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the river area of the motherland, hundreds of millions of people, the scenery is splendid, and the customs and customs of the north and the south are also very different. The fourth son of the dragon said with a smile.
Xu Yang nodded, and then saw the boat slowly sail away to the middle of the river, but the person stood on the boat as if he was standing on land, and he didn't feel the slightest sense of turbulence.
Xu Yang saw that when the boatman rowed the boat, he did not throw some fish and other sacrifices into the river like those boatmen before, and said to the fourth prince of the dragon: "Childe, I heard that there is a monster living in this river, if you want to cross the river and do not pay the sacrifice to this monster, I am afraid that something will happen!"
When the two sons heard Xu Yang say that there was a monster in the river, their faces changed greatly, and they were startled, but then they stood there calmly, as if they didn't put this monster in their eyes.
The thirteenth prince of the dragon snorted coldly, looked at the river, and said indifferently: "What monster? If he dares to come out, he will definitely be able to come and go." ”
"Brother Xu, what do you say is the origin of this monster, and what do you ask for to buy road money sacrifices?" asked the fourth prince of Long.
Xu Yang saw that the thirteenth prince of the dragon didn't care about the monsters in the river, but the fourth prince of the dragon looked a little interested, so he said what he had answered with the boatman, and said: "Everyone has never seen the true face of this monster, and the other party does not ask for gold and silver, only some sacrifices such as fish." Moreover, when I look at the boatman's appearance, it seems that it is not a trick, but a real thing. ”
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. If this monster dares to appear, no matter what terrible means he has, he will definitely have it back and forth, and by the way, he will eliminate harm to the people. The thirteenth prince of the dragon said domineeringly.
Xu Yang looked at the thirteenth prince of Long, and he couldn't see that the other party had any great ability, so he dared to speak wildly, and he didn't know what kind of pressure box the other party had?
So, Xu Yang and the others chatted on the deck for a while, and the fourth prince of Long and the thirteenth prince of Long said that they had something to do privately, and returned to the cabin. The two of them's subordinates stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing them.
Xu Yang and the others had nothing to do, so they had to stand on the deck of the ship and enjoy the surrounding scenery. At this moment, the boat is right in the middle of the river, and it has an unobstructed view of everything around it.
And when Xu Yang and the others looked towards the other side, they couldn't see where Ma Zichen and the others were, and they couldn't see any boat shadows on the surrounding river. Xu Yang looked at the Yellow River as far as the eye could see, and muttered to himself: "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lonely city and ten thousand mountains......
"Why don't you continue?" Yin Su'e asked.
And just when Xu Yang was about to say the last two sentences, he suddenly sensed a danger from bottom to top, and was rapidly approaching him.
And when Xu Yang sensed this danger rushing towards him, one of his subordinates at the door of the cabin also sensed this dangerous aura rushing towards him, and then the rest of his subordinates also felt a suffocating aura rushing towards him.
As soon as everyone reacted, they suddenly felt something hit the bottom of the bow of the ship, and then the bow of the ship flew into the air.
In an instant, the hull of the ship was like a seesaw, the hull of the ship was almost vertical to be erected, the bow of the ship was on top, and the stern was down into the river.
The two boatmen at the stern of the boat were caught off guard and fell into the water one after another in an instant, and everyone on the boat rolled to the cabin one after another in a panic, so that they did not end up with a drowning chicken.
And when everyone wondered if it was attacked by a monster in the river, suddenly the stern of the boat was hit by something below, and suddenly the bow of the boat slammed into the river, setting off waves of several feet, and the stern of the boat was lifted into the air, and then it fell violently to the surface of the river, so that the hull of the boat was restored to stability on the river.
The restlessness of the ship suddenly made Long Si and Long Thirteen Gongzi walk out of the cabin, and after a great change in their faces, they suddenly regained their composure.
The fourth son of the dragon said to one of his subordinates: "Go and see what the situation is?" As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly everyone heard a scream from a boatman at the stern of the boat, and when he looked back, he saw that the boatman was pulled by something underwater, and he didn't enter the water in an instant, but there was a series of bubbles on the surface of the river.
