Chapter 46: The Butcher's Toast

The white horse galloped along the banks of the Qiushui River, and after two days, he finally lost his strength and collapsed to the ground. In addition to the various exotic beasts that contain the blood of ancient giant beasts, even a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day cannot withstand such destruction.

Zhang Yi saw that the white horse was tired, so he calmed down, took it into his heart, and bought food, grass and water for it by the way.

He decided to take a boat from Yucheng to the southern capital. Small boats such as fishing boats and canopy boats are too slow to compare with land, but these tall building boats have great breaking power and are far faster than land.

Zhang Yi was too anxious before and put this matter behind.

Yucheng sets mountains, water, forests, springs, gorges, caves, waterfalls, Tianchi, ancient villages, eagle flocks and other landscapes, especially springs, gorges, and caves are the best, and are well-known inside and outside the undercurrent. Although it is not as prominent as Lizhou City

There are hundreds of hot springs in Chongqing, the water temperature is slightly higher than the human body itself, which contains many drugs that are beneficial to the human body, not to mention ordinary people, even if the scholars often take a bath in the hot springs, they can improve the body and make the dark diseases in the body disappear.

Dozens of miles of Tang River, nine bends and eighteen bends. There are also "Little Three Gorges" composed of Gaotang Gorge, Tongjing Gorge and Eagle Gorge in Yucheng, which echoes the desperate situation of the Three Gorges in Qiushui. Here the cliff and the green cliff face each other, the green bamboo covers the sky, the wall is closed like a barrel, the sky opens a line, the fog surrounds the cloud cliff, the eagle flies and swirls, the scene is wonderful.

The most peculiar thing in Chongqing is that the city is full of karst caves, stalactites are in various forms, each with its own interest. The longest monkey cave is more than 2,000 meters long, the stone pillars in the cave are numerous, full of wild interest; Yangjia Cave is composed of three layers, spiraling down, up to 100 meters deep underground; the induction cave is 500 meters long, and there are many treasures that the Yin River in the cave needs for scholars, which is fascinating.

Xu Wangjian, one of the most famous rangers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, wrote "Notes on Landscape and Landscape", which has a description of Yucheng: "To the mouth of the gorge, the two banks are locked, and the gurgling stream comes out of the gorge. Boarding the boat, tracing the stream, twists and turns, flickering dark and bright. The two walls are steep, and there is only one line in the sky. The bamboo forest by the stream, the two cliffs of the ancient wood, glimpse the stream waves jumping, suspected to be the water monster haunting, look at it, the reflection of the stone cave ape hanging on the tree is also ...... Suddenly crossing the gorge, the boat landed on the shore, looking at the smoke and clouds on top of each other, almost unable to recognise. ”

Zhang Yi read "Notes on Landscapes" in Zhengxin Hall, stepped on the land of Yucheng, looked at the lush ancient trees around, and immediately remembered the fragment written by Xu Wangjian.

But this time he didn't have time to visit the mountains and rivers, so he hurried to the Yucheng wharf and found a dock. The word "Longbow" hangs at the door of this dock, which is the industry of Longbow Mansion.

Zhang Yi stepped into the dock and asked if there was a ship sailing to Nandu at night.

The dock boss was a middle-aged man with a kind face, and hurriedly smiled: "Guest officer, what a coincidence that you came, in less than a quarter of an hour after I was here, a building ship was sent to Nandu." Besides, tonight is only for me, and the other dockyards will have to wait until tomorrow morning. ”

Zhang Yi did not reveal the identity of the longbow feather, nor did he distinguish the truth of the words of the boat boss, since there was a ship to go to Nandu immediately, it would be good for him to get on the boat.

After he handed over the money, the dock boss pointed to a high-rise ship docked on the wharf in Yucheng and said, "Guest officer, this is the building ship, I am very busy now, so I will not send you on the ship." ”

Zhang Yi nodded in thanks and was about to walk out of the dock. The dock boss hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Childe, these people on the ship tonight are a little strange, you are a young man, don't get too close to them." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yi looked at the dock boss curiously.

The dockyard boss laughed twice, then turned back to his seat and began to talk to the other workers as if he hadn't said it at all.

......

This building ship is 12 zhang high and more than 20 zhang long, standing out from the crowd in the entire Yucheng wharf. Zhang Yi heard Qiao Juzheng say that the Longbow Mansion is rich in the world, and the largest building ship is as high as 18 zhang, which is spectacular.

Of course, that behemoth as high as 18 zhang naturally could not stay in a small city like Chongqing. It is even said that ordinary people are not qualified to sit on that giant at all.

Being able to build a ten-zhang high building ship was an important factor in the evaluation of wealthy families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty has fought against water demons for 100,000 years, and the role played by the building boat is very important.

After Zhang Yi boarded the ship, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Zhang Yi's room was on the top floor, and when he walked all the way up, he found that there were not many guests on the entire building, and it even seemed a little empty. It wasn't until I came to the top floor that I noticed dozens of strangely dressed people sitting in the hall at random, drinking wine and eating meat, and making a lot of noise.

Longbow Mansion is rich in the world, but it is not so wasteful. There were only a few dozen people, and they used a giant building ship of twelve feet.

Who are these people? Recalling the words of the dock boss just now, Zhang Yi suddenly became a little curious.

It's not easy!

Zhang Yi looked back and forth at these people, and the first impression that this group of people gave him was these three words.

Dozens of people who looked like wilderness village husbands did not feel the slightest discomfort on such a luxurious ship, and still pretended to be ordinary people. But the thick bloody aura on their bodies couldn't hide it from Zhang Yi. These dozens of people are probably from the forefront of the Endless Sea, and their bodies are stained with the souls of water demons.

Especially looking at the five people in the center of the crowd, Zhang Yi increased his vigilance. The five of them are dressed in more modest costumes, the fisherman, the butcher, the boy, the bookkeeper, and a hunter in leather armor.

They sit in the center, clearly above the crowd around them. What makes them different from the people around them is that no matter how disguised these people are, a scholar with strong mental strength like Zhang Yi can see through their disguise at a glance.

But these five people are different, in Zhang Yi's eyes, they are ordinary fishermen and butchers.

While Zhang Yi was looking at this group of people, they were naturally also looking at the young scholars in front of them.

Brother Gongzi was holding the luminous cup in his hand, and was pouring the grape wine into his mouth with his head held high, but Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the young scholar in front of him.

The bookkeeper seemed to be a little drunk, and he was holding his head with his hands, and was chatting with the fisherman beside him.

The hunter was wiping the dagger in his hand, his eyes were like falcons, staring straight at Zhang Yi. Even in the dimly lit hall, the dagger still emitted a cold light.

The butcher was the strongest, shirtless, holding a large bowl in his hand, and grinned: "The little brother is also going to Nandu? The brothers on this boat are all going to Nandu to see the scenery, do you want to have a drink together?"

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, and politely refused: "Xiaosheng is not good at drinking, so I won't bother you big brothers." ”

With that, Zhang Yi entered his room.

......

In the dock not far from the dock where the building ship docked, the longbow Yan stood tall and jade, and the dock boss stood in front of him, and asked curiously: "Young Master Yan, why did you let that young man get on this building ship, I am worried that he will hinder your plan to do things, or ...... Just rubbed him. ”

"Wu Liu, although the Tianchen Army has existed in name only, when will you learn to kill innocents indiscriminately?" Longbow Yan's expression did not change, but his tone was extremely cold.

PS: The first chapter arrived, it was a little late, and I continued to write the second chapter...... I really can't be too confident in my body, so I got up in the morning and went to the hospital again. By the way, I recommend an interesting novel "I Became a Secret Book of Exercises", the author Danfeng heard that she is a beauty. (To be continued.) )
