In the past hundreds of years, the Ministry of Great Merchants has repaired many water conservancy facilities in the south of the Yangtze River, and these eight water rhinos are definitely the most important of them. To some extent, it can also be said to be a water control beast.

"I see!"

Gary looked amazed.

"I thought it was just a simple statue."

This thing is still quite surprising to it.

Chen Shaojun on the side, looking at the huge majestic and sacred water rhinoceros that appeared on the water, the light in his eyes flowed, thoughtful.

For a moment, Chen Shaojun suddenly remembered the deeds that Yang Jiao and the three masked envoys of King Xiaoyong talked about.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with these water rhinos."

Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart, but it was only for a moment, Chen Shaojun came back to his senses and looked into the depths of Hongzhou.

"Father!"

Chen Shaojun muttered to himself and spit out two words.

The grandmasters of Confucianism and Taoism are able to sense each other's qi, especially Chen Shaojun has reached the realm of the great grandmaster, and he is more familiar with the Confucianism and Taoism aura of the same origin.

Just now, Chen Shaojun felt a vast and familiar aura of Confucianism and Taoism, which was his father Chen Zongxi.

Chen Shaojun originally thought that with his father's footsteps, he should be able to reach Hongzhou in at least a few days, but I don't know if it was because of the serious flooding in the south of the Yangtze River, his father traveled day and night, and it seemed that it was much faster than Chen Shaojun expected.

However, what Chen Shaojun cares about the most is not only this, as the minister of the Qincha and the governor of Jiangnan, it stands to reason that at this time, his father should rest in the city lord's mansion in the center of Hongzhou. But Chen Shaojun clearly felt that his father's breath appeared at the southern end of Hongzhou, and there was no movement for a long time, which did not seem to be a normal phenomenon.

"Whatever it is, just go and see it, let's go!"

Chen Shaojun didn't say a word, he flicked his sleeves violently, and threw a lot of energy on the water behind him, and in an instant, the whole boat accelerated towards the front like an arrow from the string.

The distance of thousands of zhang passed in a flash, and Chen Shaojun quickly passed through the protective circle on the periphery, and when he staggered with one of the huge water rhinos, hum, without the slightest warning, Chen Shaojun suddenly felt the internal force in his body tremble suddenly, and he was faintly disordered.

Chen Shaojun was slightly stunned in his heart, and the light in his eyes flashed, almost subconsciously using the eye of insight.

Boom, the next moment, a huge torrent of energy appeared in Chen Shaojun's perception, and the world in front of him suddenly became colorful.

This is the world of energy, as far as Chen Shaojun can see, he can see a huge reddish-brown torrent of energy, in the shape of a huge ring, surrounding, surrounding, and protecting the entire huge Hongzhou.

This torrent of energy was so huge that any martial artist instantly became overshadowed in front of this energy.

At the same time, Chen Shaojun also sensed the root cause of the internal force disorder.

"It's the Great Seal of the Water Official!"

Chen Shaojun's heart moved, and he immediately noticed the big seal of the water official on his waist.

For some reason, when Chen Shaojun passed by the giant water rhino, this water official seal seemed to have some kind of connection with the huge water rhino, echoing each other.

"Is it because of the prohibition of the ancient water system powerhouse laid inside?"

Chen Shaojun frowned slightly, and a thought flashed in his heart.

But now is obviously not the time to explore this, with this thought in mind, Chen Shaojun and Shui Xi quickly passed by and walked forward.

Chen Shaojun's speed was very fast, and he was getting closer and closer to the southern tip of Hongzhou, and as the distance narrowed, Chen Shaojun quickly noticed something different.

"It's an aquarium."

At the southern end of Hongzhou, Chen Shaojun felt something different, it was a water tribe, and it was a huge number of water tribes, dense, tens of thousands.

The breaths of these aquarium were connected together, and even converged into a strong wave of water system. However, for some reason, all the water tribes stayed outside the scope of Hongzhou and did not enter the boundary of Hongzhou.

Dozens of miles of waterway passed by, Chen Shaojun's speed was extremely fast, and after a while, he finally arrived at the boundary of Hongzhou.

Right on the edge of the flood, a tall wall stood, heavily guarded, and the roads were filled with heavily armed soldiers, looking around with wary eyes.

"Stop, whoever!"

Chen Shaojun hadn't approached yet, and a loud cheer immediately came into his ears.

Chen Shaojun didn't answer, his feet were longitudinal, he jumped up from the boat, and the whole person flew high like a harrier, quickly passed through the tall city wall on the periphery of Hongzhou, and landed on the wall.

Click, almost at the same time, a burst of machine brackets sounded, and in all directions, countless crossbows were aimed at Chen Shaojun.

Not only that, but many troops, dressed in armor and armed with swords, quickly surrounded Chen Shaojun, Xiao Shao, and the old man in gray in the middle.

"Who are you? Hongzhou is a major land, all martial law, don't you know? How dare you trespass on the city! Die! ”

Almost at the same time, with a roar of energy, a man who looked like a military general quickly swept up the city wall, his eyes were sharp, his right hand held the treasure knife on his waist, and it seemed that as long as Chen Shaojun answered incorrectly, he would immediately kill him with a knife.

Chen Shaojun didn't say much, with a flick of his wrist, he directly showed the golden dragon token.

"This! See the messenger! ”

The military general also had some eyesight, just looking at the golden dragon on the gold medal, he knew that Chen Shaojun's identity was extraordinary, and he hurriedly lowered his head, his attitude was completely different from before.

"Don't put your bow and arrow down yet."

The last sentence was addressed to nearby soldiers.

The Great Shang Dynasty was hierarchical, and the dragon represented the Son of Heaven, and only the Son of Heaven or the confidant of the Son of Heaven could carry this kind of thing with him.

Chen Shaojun's identity is obviously not something that ordinary soldiers like them can provoke.

"I am ordered by His Majesty to supervise the floods in Jiangnan. I ask you, what's going on now? Why are there so many aquarists outside the city? ”

Chen Shaojun said in a deep voice.

"This, we don't know, it's just that we just received an order, a large number of water tribe armies have appeared on the periphery of Hongzhou, and the entire territory of Hongzhou is under martial law. In addition, the minister has already gone to the southern end to check on the situation, and we don't know the specifics. ”

The general bowed his head and bowed. The minister in his mouth is naturally Chen Shaojun's father, Chen Zongxi.

"Is there a move on the water tribe? Or sneak into the city"

Chen Shaojun asked.

"Not really, we wonder why the Aquarium didn't do it? But everyone is ready for war. ”

The general spoke.

Hongzhou has not been flooded yet, there are still large areas of land, and fighting on land, the imperial court may not be afraid of those water tribes.

And without the environment of river flow, the strength of those water tribes must be greatly reduced.

"Got it, you go down."

Chen Shaojun said.

After saying this, he stretched out his hands, grabbed the gray-clothed old man and Xiao Snail respectively, and quickly rose from the top of the city, a few ups and downs, and quickly sank into the city, all the way along the top of the rows of roofs, towards the location of his father Chen Zongxi in the sense.

"Something isn't right."

At this time, the gray-clothed old man of the water tribe suddenly spoke.

"The Black Dragon Monarch's people didn't attack, this situation is extremely rare, it looks like they are here to negotiate."

"Negotiations?"

Chen Shaojun asked.

"Well, did Childe see that flag?"

The old man in gray said.

The wind was howling on both sides, Chen Shaojun looked in the direction of the old man in gray, and in the distance, he saw that in the direction of the southern end of Hongzhou, a large flag with a height of forty or fifty meters fluttered in the wind, which looked extremely eye-catching.

"It's—"

Chen Shaojun's heart moved, he really didn't find out before.

"This is the unwritten rule of the Jiangnan territory, and it can also be regarded as a tacit understanding between our water tribe and humans, once the white flag is raised, it represents a truce, negotiation and consultation."

The old man in gray didn't sell it, and said directly.

"However, in our water tribe, ordinary people are not qualified to raise the white flag, and the white flag of our water tribe is not the same as the white flag of the human world, first of all, the material is not the same, and in the water world, only the high-ranking water tribe can decide whether to use it."

"High Aquarium?"

Chen Shaojun's heart moved slightly, thoughtfully, and only heard the voice of the old man in gray in his ears continued:

"However, despite this, because we have a good relationship with humans before, this white flag is actually rarely used."

The gray-clothed old man of the water tribe said.

He has lived for so long, and although he knows the Aquarium White Flag well, this is also the first time he has seen it.

Chen Shaojun didn't speak, his expression became more and more solemn, whew, the wind was whistling on both sides, and the houses flew past from below, and Chen Shaojun rushed to his father's location as quickly as possible.

After about half a cup of tea, Chen Shaojun finally saw the undulating trees, the well-guarded army, and the banners of the Great Shang Dynasty.

"It's just ahead!"

Chen Shaojun jumped on a roof and accelerated forward.

About thousands of zhang later, I haven't seen my father's figure, boom, a mighty spirit, like a mountain and a sea, full of strong water demon qi, rushing up from the southern end of Hongzhou.

The spirit is arrogant, raging, and lawless, and it seems that there is nothing in the entire human world that they take into account.

Immediately after, over a high city wall, Chen Shaojun first saw tall banyan trees, and then a huge square.

At both ends of the square, there is a clear distinction between the two sides.

At first glance, Chen Shaojun saw his father Chen Zongxi, who was dressed in a blue and red court dress, with a serious, rigid, and meticulous expression, sitting upright on a sandalwood chair.

Several white-clothed royal masters guarded him, clinging to his left and right.

In front of him was a square table with teapots and teacups on it, and the aroma was curling, but everything seemed unusually simple.

The father obviously didn't notice him, his expression was solemn at this time, and he was staring intently at the opposite side, a handsome young man in a white brocade robe, extremely handsome, graceful, and quite elegant.
