Wang Hou knew that she was talking about the night at the Bantang Inn in May last year, and he couldn't help but be happy, it turned out that Yan'er had not lost his mind, and asked, "Yan'er, do you remember that you were injured?" ”

Liu Hanyan snorted: "I saw that little man was so pitiful, so I gave him more than a dozen yuan, but I didn't expect him to lift the bowl...... I didn't feel it at all, I just remember that you hugged me, and then I kept dreaming, and my body was so cold, but when I arrived at the Bantang Inn, I took a hot spring bath. ”

Wang Hou smirked: "Yan'er, did you take a shower at night, or did I wash it for you." "Phew, that's again...... Hey, nerd, do you remember, that day we were at the Half Soup Inn, and I said there was a spider, and you pushed the door and ran in? "Of course I remember, I said at the time, you didn't mean it, and you ended up throwing me with a towel." "Well, how do you know I did it on purpose?" “……”

After being silent for a long time, Wang Hou asked, "Yan'er, are you hungry?" I'll get you something to eat. "No, I'm not hungry...... Nerd, what did you just say that night in Taining? What do you see me reveal? "After I helped you unlock the acupuncture point sealed by the old Dao Gu that night, you said a lot of things, and you can't remember it, right?" "Of course I remember what I said, anyway, you are not allowed to bully them because of me."

Wang Hou smiled and said, "Then I will marry you." "Bah, I'm not going to marry you...... Nerd, my clothes...... You helped me change it? Liu Hanyan noticed that the clothes on his body had changed, and asked hesitantly, seeing Wang Hou nodding, he continued, "Nerd, come here, I'll tell you a secret ......"

The more he spoke, the quieter he became, Wang Hou knew that she was seriously injured, and leaned down and asked, "Yan'er, what did you say?" Suddenly, her ears hurt, and she was bitten by Liu Hanyan with her teeth, and she hurriedly begged for mercy, and at the same time put her hand into her armpit. You bad thing, I don't have any secrets now, bite you bad thing. ”

The two quarreled for a while, and Liu Han said: "Nerd, you can also go to bed, it will be dawn in a while." Wang Hou was relaxed at this time, but he was indeed a little sleepy, turned over and went to bed, shared a pillow with Liu Hanyan, and covered it with a quilt. Wang Hou whispered something in her ear, and Liu Hanyan said, "You still say?" Shame on you......"

In a daze, there was a knock on the door suddenly, Wang Hou was startled, opened his eyes and saw that the window was already bright, and Yan'er was still sleeping, so he hurriedly dressed lightly and opened the door, Zhou Qingzhu, Jin Minhui and Li Zhixian stood outside the door. "Is Sister Yan awake?" Zhou Qingzhu asked and walked to the bed, only to see Sister A Yan covering her face with the quilt, and when she opened it, her eyes were still closed, and she couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Why haven't you woken up yet?" ”

Li Zhixian glanced at it, but chuckled: "Why is someone's face as red as an apple, Brother Wang, what did you do to Sister Liu?" Liu Hanyan stretched out his hand to grab Li Zhixian and shouted, "Sister Li, you like to talk nonsense." ”

Wang Hou was about to go out to wash, when an exclamation came from behind him, "Sister Yan, are you finally awake?" Followed by the sound of laughter and laughter, Wang Hou sighed: "It's been quiet for a day." "Looking up, I saw that the sky was full of red glow, illuminating the whole compound with dazzling brilliance, and a new day would begin again.

After breakfast, the Yang gang leader took the elders and ten men down to bid farewell to Wang Hou, the Yang gang leader bent his knees, Wang Hou quickly supported him, and reminded him again: "Yang gang leader, you have a lot of treasure money on you, be careful all the way, prevent people from poisoning, if you meet a person in his thirties, ordinary appearance, and like to walk with his left hand, you must be especially careful, that person is the person who poisoned him." "Yang Gang Leader thanked him a thousand times, and a group of twelve people thanked him and left.

At noon, Lord Fan and Lord Zhou came as promised. When Lord Zhou heard that Liu Han had been poisoned, his face changed, and he settled down after visiting.

In the past two days, Lord Zhou Helm told him everything he knew, and at this time, Lord Fan Helm naturally knew that the young man in front of him not only held the Golden Order of Tea and Horses, but was the person the gang leader wanted to recruit, as well as the special envoy of the Salt Gang, Yuyu, who reconciled the old feud between the Tea Horse Gang and the Salt Gang for many years; He also won the laurel at the martial arts conference and was named General Zhaoyi by the saint, so young and promising, the future is really unlimited.

Lord Fan Helm has respect in his heart, and he is more and more respectful to Wang Hou, if he knows that Wang Gongzi still has the mutton fat jade wrench given by the Holy Lord in his hand, and the officials are all three levels older, I don't know how he will feel?

During the meal, Lord Zhou and Lord Fan already knew that the person who pretended to be the salt gang to send the big red robe was the person secretly invited by Wan Dongyuan, intending to provoke the conflict between the two gangs, and they were naturally resentful in their hearts, and they heard that yesterday afternoon, the Wandong Garden jointly operated by these two factions was taken off by Wang Hou and the Lily Fairy, President Pan's martial arts were abolished, the life and death of Lord Liu Dao were unknown, the Lord of Lai Men died under the sword of his companions, and the abbot of Zhishan committed suicide.

Lily Fairy said: "According to President Pan's confession, the person who secretly applied the poison was the people of the Snow Tribe, Yunnan Mountain, this sect has a deep hatred with me, and the snake venom is that they are trying to make new poisons, and if they don't get rid of them for a day, they can't be taken lightly for a day...... It's a pity that they will go to sea soon, otherwise this fairy will go to exterminate their nest now. ”

Everyone here has seen the power of snake venom, and they all think that the Alpine Snow Clan is not easy to mess with. Wang Hou groaned: "I promised the white head of the Snow Mountain Sect that after returning from the sea, I will plan to go to Yunnan, and then we will go to the Alpine Snow Clan to settle accounts...... Master Chen, have you decided to go to sea? ”

Chen Duo responded: "I can go to sea with Zheng He's fleet, I have a rare opportunity, I can do some business with overseas countries, our porcelain, silk, and tea are the most popular and profitable, but I have not received a notice from the chief helm and can't go to sea." Zhou Duozhu interjected: "As far as I know, there are nearly 100 people in your gang who went to sea, and it was led by Li Duo, the helmsman of Xi'an, who got on the ship in Nanjing and brought a lot of jade, hehe......"

Zhou Duozhu remembered that in April and May last year, in order to win the right to purchase jade, the two Xi'an rudders did not give in to each other, and each showed their magical powers, and as a result, a blue sky hero was killed halfway and helped the salt gang win. His side lost troops and almost caused irreparable losses, but fortunately, the blue sky hero did not kill the killer, and the two sides also agreed not to attack each other for half a year. Unexpectedly, the blue sky hero finally won the championship at the martial arts conference, and together with the prince in front of him, he resolved the contradiction accumulated by the two gangs for many years.

Wang Hou didn't know what he was thinking, and asked, "Lord Zhou, are you and Lord Fan going to sea?" Lord Zhou Helm came back to his senses: "Yes, we have more than 80 people on the ship in Nanjing, and Master Fan Helm and I are going to bring some more people to board the ship from here." ”

Everyone chatted and agreed that today is the fifth day of the second lunar month, and tomorrow will have another day of rest, so that Liu Hanyan can recover better, and the six people of Wang Hou of the day after tomorrow, more than 20 people of the Tea Horse Gang, and the seven sons of Wudang set off to Changle County.

The establishment of Changle County began in the sixth year of Tang Wuxing (623), taking the meaning of "Chang'an Jiule", and the old name of Taiping Port was Majiang. The reason why Zheng He used it as the anchorage place and the starting point for the boat division to go to sea is not only because it is located at the mouth of the Minjiang River, backed by the mainland, there are several small islands to shield typhoons, and the water area is wide, which is convenient for mooring sea boats, and it can also collect fresh water for drinking nearby. In addition, Changle is known as the "land of fish and rice" and "the hometown of sailors", which can provide logistics support for more than 20,000 personnel on board, and can also provide guarantee for the fleet to recruit talents.

On the evening of the seventh day of the first month of February, outside Changle County, a team of people and horses came slowly, in a carriage in the middle of the horse team, sat Liu Hanyan, Zhou Qingzhu, Li Zhixian, Jin Minhui and Lily Fairy five people, Wang Hou rode a horse to accompany the right side of the carriage, after two days of rest, Liu Hanyan recovered a lot.

When saying goodbye to Chen Helm in the morning, Liu Hanyan took Chen Qian's hand and was reluctant to let go: "Sister Chen, I will go here after I come back, and you will teach me how to turn the needle and receive the needle when the time comes." Chen Qian also took Liu Hanyan's hand and didn't let go, Zhou Qingzhu said: "Sister Chen, why don't you go to sea with us, okay?" Chen Qian saw that her father didn't nod, how dare she bring it up herself.

Lord Chen Helm arranged the carriage early, and after everyone met with Lord Zhou and Lord Fan, the horse team left Fuzhou City and marched south. Changle County is only eighty miles away from Fuzhou, the time is still early, the tea horse gang pulls more than ten cars of Dehua white porcelain, everyone is not in a hurry, passing through the ferry halfway, until it is almost dark, it arrives outside Changle City.

Along the way, people can be seen from time to time crowds surpassing everyone, Wang Hou secretly worried about whether there is an inn to stay, and listened to Fan Duo said: "Wang Gongzi, we booked a room half a month ago, but now that there are more people, the accommodation conditions may be worse, and we can only last a few nights." ”

Wang Hou hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, just have a place to live, I was worried just now that so many people came at once, and there was no place to settle in the county." While talking, everyone entered the city gate, Fan Duo led the way in front, and stopped at the door of a "sailor's inn" in the north of the city, Xiao Er greeted him and led the horse into the stable.

The sailor's inn is the largest one in the county, a quadrangle courtyard, and there are stairs in the center of the courtyard leading to the south, east, west, and northwest upstairs, and the stairs are paved with a big red carpet. Some of the rooms booked by everyone are on the second floor, some are on the first floor, Wang Hou's six people and Wudang's seven sons are arranged on the second floor, and more than 20 people from the Tea Horse Gang live on the first floor.

Walking into the courtyard, Wang Hou's mood suddenly relaxed: since July last year, after the Rizhao Sailing Competition, he often mentions the matter of going to sea, especially at the beginning of the year from Lushan, this road has experienced many twists and turns, and now, finally arrived safely!

Arriving at Changle safely is the end point of this section of Jianghu Road and the starting point of going to sea. Wang Hou didn't know that there would be more difficulties and setbacks in the future, and in such a predicament and tribulation, would he be able to sail well and promote morality?
