Chapter 34: In the country of Furong, water thieves are coming

The Southern Tang Dynasty has been one of the most beautiful countries in the Great Zhou Dynasty since ancient times, and is known as the "Pearl of the Southeast". Among them, the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, the Dajiang Academy of Literature is innumerable, it is a must-visit place for literati and scholars to study, and has always had the reputation of "the center of the world", and the five major academies have branches here.

Qiushui was one of the top three rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since the Nanji Mountain, it flows through dozens of countries, and flows to the sea through the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

If someone is traveling long distances, taking a boat down the river is the best option. It takes less time and is much safer.

Awning boats, canoes, small fishing boats, warships, and high-rise ships are lined up in the autumn water, and if you look down from the sky, it looks like thousands of ants of all sizes working hard.

Awning boats, small fishing boats, canoes, these small boats are not good at long-distance travel, not to mention that there are many treacherous terrains from the undercurrent country to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and these small boats cannot pass through at all. Only warships and high-rise ships can make the journey smooth.

Zhang Yi and his entourage of six people went down the river by boat.

Mu Tiange didn't like to deal with people, so as soon as he got on the boat, he slipped into his room to study and practice.

Zhang Yi and the five people chose a tea room, watched the scenery from the window, drank tea and talked about their hearts, so uncomfortable.

The interior of the building is exquisitely shaped, and all kinds of furnishings are available. What tea room study, everything, in the center of each floor, there is a hundred zhang hall, for passengers to hold a party or a meeting.

"There is a college flag hanging above the boat on this building, could it be that it belongs to the academy?" Feng Chonglou asked Chen Chujian curiously, he was full of curiosity about everything after his first experience.

Zhang Yi and Qiao Juzheng were naturally extremely curious and looked up.

Chen Chujian nodded, and said with a smile: "The academy cultivates thousands of disciples, and the consumption is much greater than that of the wealthy families, so naturally there are many channels to make money, otherwise what will we use to feed us? This building ship is developed by the academy's ship company, it is ten zhang high, and has a total of five floors, even if the water demon is in trouble, it is difficult to easily overturn it." ”

Zhang Yi secretly bowed his head, and he raised his eyes to look. The five-story ship is more than 20 zhang long, with dozens of sails and countless oars several zhang long, and if this ship is full of guests, I am afraid it can accommodate thousands of people.

It's a behemoth.

The most worth mentioning is that there is a surge of literary qi around the ship, presumably by which Jinshi or royal scholar inscription poem, even if it is hit by a reef, it is difficult to cause damage to the hull.

"It's amazing. Qiao Juzheng stretched out his hand and admired, "The Qiao family also has a boat house, but the craftsmanship is insufficient, and at most they can build a warship four or five zhang high, but they can't build such a behemoth." ”

"Your Qiaofu shipbuilding skills are not as good as our Fengfu, if you can really build a ten-zhang ship, you will already be a wealthy family. ”

Feng Chonglou smiled and smiled at Lu Hongyi: "Senior Sister Lu, are you right?"

Lu Hongyi lowered his head to taste tea, deaf to him.

Feng Chonglou was really embarrassed, and turned to Zhang Yi and said: "Ah Yi, there was a shipyard in front of your Zhang Mansion, which was able to build a giant building ship fifteen zhang high, which is very powerful. ”

"I've heard that, too. The owner of the shipyard is a powerful engineer of the Great Qin Dynasty, and he can naturally understand this kind of craftsmanship. Zhang Yi replied softly.

At the beginning, Zhangfu was very prosperous, and all walks of life were extremely prosperous. It's just that after the decline of Zhangfu, the powerful worker chose to leave, and now I don't know where he went.

The Great Qin Dynasty was the most powerful of the three major dynasties, with the Seven Great Sects occupying three of them. The martial saint's combat power is extraordinary, the Sanskrit saint is unpredictable, and the Gongsheng is even more magical, and most of the miracles in the world are built by the workers.

Chen Chujian was quite enthusiastic, and at this moment he even reminded: "Even if that craftsman can leave, the giant building ship and shipyard craftsmanship he left behind are also worth a lot of money, you must keep them." ”

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the faces of several people present changed, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Lu Hongyi coughed and said with a slight smile: "I have some things with the first time I need to consult the pastoral senior, and I will be with him for a while." ”

Chen Chujian was pulled out of the tea room by Lu Hongyi with a blank face.

Before the girl in the white dress could ask, Lu Hongyi said, "Stop, I know what you want to say." I'm just asking you, you can't remember the mistake you made at Tianliang Restaurant?"

Chen Chu saw that his understanding was extraordinary, so he naturally came over at once, and said in a stunned voice: "It won't be the Longbow Chen Mansion again......"

"What do you mean by it? The wealthy Zhang Mansion overturned overnight, and the best treasures were naturally handed over to the Imperial Dynasty, but other things were basically incorporated into the Chen Mansion at home, otherwise how could it have developed so quickly?"

Lu Hongyi was amazed: "An ordinary famous family, if it doesn't rely on your father's prestige, how can he have such courage to dare to swallow a wealthy family." ”

Chen Chu's face turned red when he saw him, the friend in front of him had always been right about things and people, and he spoke straightforwardly, which made her very embarrassed at the moment, and said in a muffled voice: "Hongyi, my father has not returned to Longbow City for many years, and the incident in Zhangfu must have nothing to do with him." ”

"That person is highly respected and has a noble temperament, who in the whole world does not know? It's just that everyone in the world also knows that he is from the Chen Mansion of Longbow City, and when he becomes a great Confucian, the famous Chen Mansion will soar to the sky and become a new wealthy family, and he will become a top wealthy family in a short period of time. ”

Lu Hongyi ignored Chen Chujian's defense at all, and continued: "If you don't kill Boren, Boren will die because of it." At first sight, even if your father is open-minded, he is still sorry for Zhang Fu and Zhang Yi; ”

Zhang Yi had no complaints about Chen Chujian, he could see that this girl in the white dress was kind and upright at heart, and she had no intersection with the Chen Mansion in Longbow City since she was a child.

There is a debtor who is wronged, and Zhang Yi understands this kind of simple and easy-to-understand truth.

However, the performance of the girl in the white dress in the next few days made Zhang Yi quite embarrassed.

"Zhang Yi, this is the purple peach I carried before I got on the boat, you can taste it. ”

Zhang Yi was reading in the tea room, and the girl in the white dress came to her side with a plate of purple peaches in her hand.

"Zhang Yi, this is the ink bamboo abundant in Tian'an City, and it is very good to use it to make a pen barrel. “

Zhang Yi was transcribing the poems, and the girl in the white dress entered the room with a black bamboo in her hand and smiled.

"Zhang Yi, this is ......"

I don't know how many times this situation has passed, and one night, Zhang Yi finally couldn't help it.

"Senior sister, I will leave all the things you sent here a few days ago, and you will take them later. Sir often says, "I can't accept your gift for nothing." ”

"Senior sister, you have a different temperament, different from ordinary women, Zhang Yi appreciates it very much. These days, you have restrained your behavior, and you don't have the slightest bit of your style, I don't know why?"

Zhang Yi knew that Chen Chujian must have felt that he couldn't live with Zhang's Mansion and couldn't stand himself, so he could behave like this, but at this moment, he could only pretend to be confused.

Chen Chu saw an "ah" and said, "It's okay." ”

It is absolutely impossible for the girl in the white dress to admit that the overthrow of the Zhang Mansion is related to her most admired father.

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Since it's okay, then Senior Sister will take these things back, I still have to study and practice, so as not to encounter water demons when I get there, and I will hold everyone back." ”

"Don't worry, senior sister protects you. Zhang Yi's eyes were clear and clean, and Chen Chu had to take back the gift when he saw it, and patted his chest by the way, saying that he would take care of him.

......

The boat went down the river, and it was very calm along the way until it came to the country of Furong.

Furong State, formerly known as Xiangchu State, was the most powerful country in the Great Zhou Dynasty 30,000 years ago. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "only Chu has talent", and there are countless great sages and great Confucians, especially 30,000 years ago, many heroes and heroes rose together, like a galaxy.

The main battlefield of the world-shattering war 30,000 years ago took place in the Hunan Chu Kingdom. That battle lasted a hundred years, the sky and the earth were cracked, the rivers were dry and the rocks were rotten, and the leylines of the entire Hunan and Chu countries were broken apart.

Although the section of the sky is cool and clear water is the final battlefield, in terms of tragedy, the country of Hunan and Chu is particularly victorious. In that shocking war, the reason why the water demon failed was mainly because it lost most of its strength in the Xiangchu Kingdom.

Zeng Furong, the only great sage of the Xiangchu State at that time, fell in that great war. Because of his favorite hibiscus flowers during his lifetime, the surviving people of Xiangchu State planted hibiscus flowers everywhere, and the later lord changed the name of the country to hibiscus.

The autumn wind is thousands of miles in the country of Furong, and the country of Furong is full of afterglow.

Like that final battlefield, since then, the country of Furong has become a poor mountain and a bad water, and it is the country where the most villains of the Great Zhou Dynasty gather.

The most dense area of water thieves on the autumn water is this route.

Because of the lack of winter vine leaves and green grass, it is impossible to open the tempering of the large tendons. Zhang Yi asked Chen Chu Lu Hongyi for some questions in his spare time, and studied and practiced in the guest room at night. However, the flesh and blood membrane of the whole body has been strengthened a lot, and the repair of the atria has made remarkable progress.

That night, Zhang Yi was reading a book borrowed from Chen Chujian, when suddenly the hull of the boat shook violently, interrupting his study.

This building ship is extremely huge, and even if it is a strong wind and waves, it will not be able to move half a minute. Unless it hits a reef, there will be such a violent vibration. The masters who can control the building boat are all proficient, how could they hit the reef?

Zhang Yi's mind turned sharply, and his heart was shocked, it couldn't be that he had encountered a water thief, right? Two days ago, Zhang Yi happened to see the history of Furong Country, and this thought jumped out of his mind at this moment.

When Zhang Yi walked out of the guest room, many people had already gathered in the hall.

Chen Chujian and others beckoned Zhang Yi over.

Mu Tiange was also among several people, and his appearance made Zhang Yi affirm the thoughts in his heart. He has the deepest cultivation and rich experience, and he is the default leader of this trip.

"There must be tributes among these water thieves, otherwise even if they lift people, they won't be able to shake this building ship, so we must be careful. Seeing Zhang Yi coming, Mu Tiange opened his mouth to explain the matter to a few people, asking them to pay attention to their own safety.

Zhang Yi bowed slightly, and it was really consistent with his guess.

"There are tributes on the ship, so we don't have to worry. But our mission on this trip is to experience, if you are not afraid, you can go to the top with me to kill the enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, Mu Tiange walked towards the deck with his head held high.
