Chapter 224 Bringing the upper reaches of the Meijiang River, there is a storm under the moon
As the saying goes, the Northern Yan is good at horses, and the Southern Jin Dynasty is more boating.
Of course, this sentence is only relative.
The Middle Earth Continent is divided into north and south by the Jiuqu Tianhe River, although it is not as dense as the water towns and rivers everywhere in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but the large and small rivers that originate from the Longshou Mountain in Tiandu still allow Dayan to have a developed canal and waterway. . .
Pai Jiao eats water food for a living, naturally good at this way, the bow and bottom of the three-masted ship are engraved with evil charms, with the wind to divide the water, along the way most of the evil things in the water far away.
In the pavilion on the second floor, Wang Xuan and Mo Qingrou looked at each other speechlessly.
Wang Xuan opened his mouth, just about to break the silent atmosphere, but he noticed the peeping gaze, and said with a dark face: "Come out!" β
Whoa...
The yin wind and white mist dissipated, Bai Qin flew out, and the smiling face was full of blessings, "The slave Bai Qin has seen Mrs. β
A "madam" made Mo Qingrou's cheeks slightly red, and a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes, "Painting souls?" β
Although she was born in the Shendu and was gifted and intelligent to read through hundreds of books, because she was unable to cultivate, she stayed in the boudoir all the year round, so she only heard many things, but did not see them with her own eyes.
Wang Xuan finally had a conversation, nodded and smiled: "Her name is Bai Qin, she has served me as the master, I am busy with military affairs all the year round, and she will accompany you in the future, so you can chat and relieve your boredom." β
He also has a lot to think about.
No matter what Bai Qin says, it can be regarded as a charm, and it is not a problem to deal with ordinary monks, plus in the previous life, Madame Bai was also a beautiful girl, so she can not only speak, but also protect Mo Qingrou.
As for whether Bai Qin will be troubled, he is still more assured, one has been controlled by secret methods, and the other is that Mo Qingrou has a lot of talisman treasures, after all, Mrs. Mo is a master of refining.
Mo Qing is soft and gentle and introverted, but Bai Qin is a talkative, and he has long been suffocated when he is with Wang Xuan on weekdays, and there are a series of questions between smiles:
"Madam, the slave maid will make you tea."
"Madam, I heard that you are proficient in cooking, and Bai Qin happens to be studying..."
"Madame likes calligraphy and painting..."
Mo Qingrou was a little restrained at first, but then gradually let go and answered one by one.
Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said with a smile: "You guys talk first, I'll go to the cabin." β
After he left, Bai Qin's eyes rolled and approached Mo Qingrou with a smile, but when he saw a jade pendant on the other party's chest flashing with white light, he hurriedly stepped back, and his eyes blinked:
"Madam, you can ask for a round house tonight, and the slave maid will make your bed."
Mo Qingrou's face instantly became hot.
β¦β¦
Outside the cabin, several Pai Sect disciples looked inward curiously, and when they saw Wang Xuan coming, they hurriedly bent down and arched their hands: "I've seen Lord Wang." β
"Thank you."
Wang Xuan didn't care, and strode into the cabin.
In the cabin, the ugly Buddha was eating grilled fish, the soldiers of Yong'an and Qucheng guarding the chariot were also eating, and the eagle monster was resting with his eyes closed.
"I've seen adults."
Seeing Wang Xuan coming in, the sergeants got up and clenched their fists.
Liu Haozi was also there, staring at the eagle monster up and down, and when he saw Wang Xuan coming in, he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Wang is also here, you are a good war beast, there is also a bird army formation on the side of the border army, if you can get a few more..."
Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "Brother Liu, don't think about it. Although the eagle monster can carry a sergeant to the sky, it is easy to be killed by a flying sword, and if it is necessary to form a military array protection, it is difficult to afford the consumption, so it can only be used for climbing to explore and pass military orders. β
"That's what Brother Wang said."
Liu Haozi was stunned for a moment, and there was a little disappointment in his eyes.
Although the government army now has financial power, it is still more than a step behind the border army built by gathering the strength of the family.
After chatting for a while, Wang Xuan returned to the boat pavilion.
The tea fragrance in the boat pavilion is wafting, and several plates of delicate snacks have been placed on the couch table in front of the window, some of which are like hibiscus flowers, and some are like peach fruits, which look pleasing to the eye.
After Mo Qingrou saw him, her cheeks were a little rosy, "Lord Wang is back, this is the dim sum I made before I came, taste how it tastes." β
Bai Qin smiled on the side, "Madame's craftsmanship is not often seen in the memories of slaves and maids, but adults are so blessed." β
"That's nature."
Wang Xuan was in a good mood, and after sitting down, he tasted one, only to feel that the skin was crispy, and the entrance was moist and slightly sweet, and he couldn't help but say: "It's delicious!" Under the shallow knowledge, Qingrou said what this is. β
"This thing is hibiscus cake, hibiscus flowers bloom in autumn and the water is cold, some time ago I picked some, soaked in jade spring water, made this thing, eat more can benefit qi and invigorate blood, it is considered seasonal food..."
"That's a peach crisp, and the inset is peach flesh and preserved fruit..."
There is food as a guide, and the topic of the two suddenly opens.
Bai Qin smiled slightly, flew up, and stroked the qin as a companion.
Wang Xuan looked at the gentle woman in front of him, listened to the melodious sound of the piano, ate a bite of snacks, drank a sip of tea, and felt that his whole body and mind were relaxed.
The autumn water is in the sky, the beautiful woman is the companion, and the big ship is gradually moving away towards the southern part of the state...
β¦β¦
And the southern part of the state, Xianquan County.
As the richest place in Bingzhou, the waterways here are vertical and horizontal, the shops on both sides of the bank are red walls and green tiles, flowers and trees are planted everywhere, and the deep house compound is hidden in it, and there are beautiful scenery in all four seasons.
At the foot of the north mountain of the county seat, a building has risen from the ground, it seems to be according to the nine palace gossip formation, the courtyard is covered with a small courtyard, the towering giant tree exudes a faint spiritual qi, and in the center is a seven-treasure pagoda-shaped high-rise building, the eaves are arched, and the wind chimes are swaying.
This is the future headquarters of the Bingzhou Chamber of Commerce.
It can be built in a short time, and the heritage of the Xiao family can be seen.
In the main hall of one of the compounds, Xiao Zhongmou stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the autumn leaves flying in the courtyard, and the ancient wells in his eyes were not wavering.
Elder Li was looking at the stack of secret letters in his hand.
"The people of the Five Immortals Hall of Lingyuan County have entered the city, and the Longzhou Five Immortals Hall has sent them a chariot, I heard that it is a mixed formation method, which can not only gather the military formation, but also the Xiangtang can summon the five immortal guards at the same time..."
"Huaihua County's Xicai Gate uses a colorful cloud smoke car, which can be arranged in itself..."
"The Liuhe Yin-Yang Gate in Antai County uses a banner car, and you can use the Qi flow to use the technique of Qimen Dunjia..."
Xiao Jili said with a smile next to him: "The snare drum show was originally all about military weapons, but now that the art of chaos has appeared, everyone has used their skills. β
"It's expedient, after all."
Xiao Zhongmou shook his head slightly, "The life span of the military monks is not more than 100, there are many talents in the troubled times, the prosperity will inevitably decline, the government army is restructured and the wasteland is opened, and the unification of the human race is imminent, and the families can't afford to wait for this stubble, so they have to end up in person." β
As he spoke, he turned around and said, "What about the three people?" β
Elder Li nodded and continued:
"Yongan Wang Xuan was engaged to the Mo family some time ago, and this time he brought his fiancΓ©e here, and the chariot was also built at will, and he also used the eagle monster to pull the car, obviously with no intention of racing..."
"The daughter of the Mo family..."
Xiao Jili thought thoughtfully, "Could it be Mo Qingrou, who is known as one of the seven jades of the Divine Capital?" I heard that this woman has an extraordinary appearance, and Wang Laohu is very blessed. β
Xiao Zhongmou frowned, "Gentle Township is a hero's mound, Wang Xuan... Disappointing! β
Xiao Jili was stunned at first, and then suddenly shook his head and said: "The life span of a soldier monk is not more than 100, although the Taoism is growing rapidly, but the peak is only twenty or thirty years, if you can't achieve something and make contributions before the age of fifty, there will be no chance." β
"Brother is right."
Xiao Zhongmou said in a deep voice: "The reform of the Dayan Mansion Army is gaining momentum, and the gluttonous army will inevitably be established within twenty years, when Wang Xuan is at the peak, if he uses it well, it is a sharp sword, and I only fancy this person, and I specially posted an invitation, but I didn't think of it, but I avoided it without fighting... That's it, what about Sima Wei and Wei Zicheng? β
Double-pupiled Li Lao's face was slightly gloomy: "Nanlu County Captain Lu Lan and Huairen County Captain Luo Huan are already less than a hundred miles away from Xianquan, but Sima Wei and Wei Zicheng are not in the team. β
"Not there..."
Xiao Jili's eyes narrowed slightly, "What do these two people want?" β
There was a sudden silence in the room.
"Hidden poisonous snakes are the most terrifying."
Xiao Zhongmou looked at the map on the table, "Although the Sima family and the Wei family are out of line, but after all, the state is the territory of the Xiao family, so they must be cautious." β
"I tried to provoke each other with words and play with snare drums, just to see what they could rely on, and now it seems that these two can calm down."
Xiao Jili's eyes were a little worried, "Zhongmou, what if they avoid fighting like Wang Xuan?" β
Xiao Zhongmou showed a smile, "Brother, don't worry, no one will be able to hide it then." β
After that, he looked out the window and sighed, "After Xiao Jianqiu Ancestor retreats, he will retreat with the other two ancestors and try to break through the realm of earth immortals, and the same is true for several other families, this is the foundation of the Xiao family." β
"The power of the Xiao family in Bi Fang's army will inevitably be reduced, what we juniors have to do is nothing more than to save face, it is not so easy to step on the top of the Xiao family, how can we do it without some blood..."
β¦β¦
The autumn moon rises high, and the mountains are silent.
The big boat is still sailing on the river, and the boat pavilion is brilliantly lit.
Originally, it was most dangerous to walk at night, especially on the waterway, but there were Wang Xuan and others on the boat, and there were also good teachers on the boat, so they were naturally fearless.
Inside the pavilion, the atmosphere has become a little ambiguous.
Mo Qingrou no longer spoke, bowing her head and blushing.
Bai Qin looked at the two of them with a smile, "My lord, madam, it's time to rest, the slave and maid will go and make your bed." β
Painting the soul spirit is completely different from human thinking, Bai Qin is completely because of the memory of Mrs. Bai in her previous life, and she is quite curious about the affairs of men and women, and wants to observe it on the spot.
Mo Qingrou is gentle as water.
In this world, marrying a husband is a husband, coupled with Dayan's advocacy of population growth, the atmosphere is relatively open, and you can do anything with a marriage contract.
After all, she is a cardamom girl, even if her mind is extraordinary, she is confused and flustered at the moment, thinking about what she should do if Wang Xuanruo pounces on her?
Wang Xuan took a deep breath: "Madam, let's rest in peace..."
He has a strong mind, but that doesn't mean he doesn't eat meat.
But at that moment, he looked out the window with a slight frown.
On the surface of the river, a large number of swimming fish crossed out of the water, apparently escaping.
"Stop the boat, there is a fight ahead!"
The platoon masters jumped onto the mast, and the big ship suddenly stopped.
"Stay still!"
Wang Xuan admonished, and then jumped on the bow of the boat,
Roar!
A long beast roar came from a distance ahead, and soon the river was tumbling and rolling, and a loud roar roared in the night sky, and wooden planks and corpses scattered on the surface of the river.
Wang Xuan's pupils shrank, and those corpses were all wearing Taiyi Taoist robes...
