Xiao Chen thought thoughtfully: "I understand now why you have come to this point." But are we really going to do nothing? ”

Li Luo shook his head: "Everyone else is busy, and we only care about drinking and eating meat every day, which is too sluggish." ”

With a look in his eyes, Li Luo chuckled and said, "Let's go pick up someone." ”

"Pick up someone?" Xiao Chen looked confused: "Who to pick up?" ”

Li Luo deliberately sold Guanzi: "You'll know when you go." ”

In the heavy snow season, two fast horses left Tianfeng City, and Xiao Chen and Li Luo only brought hundreds of elite horses on this trip.

The two galloped all night and finally came to Cangzhou.

Cangzhou, as one of the three affiliated states of Huainan, is known as the three states in the south of Xia Kingdom together with Liangzhou and Hezhou.

Cangzhou is close to the Cangyue River, and on the opposite side of the Cangyue River is the country of Wu.

Zhao Zhan, who had defected from Xia in the past, was stationed in Longsu, on the border of Wu.

There were snowflakes falling in the sky, Xiao Chen and Li Luo put on a fur coat and stood quietly in Cangzhou City Tower, looking away, their eyes full of snow white.

Li Luo's eyes flashed with emotion, and he muttered: "I still remember that a few months ago, I had a big conversation with Zhang Liang about the situation in the world on this city tower, but I didn't expect that a few months later, he and I would be separated forever. ”

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and said, "What you said should be what happened when the Zhao Zhan Rebellion was quelled." ”

"That's right." Li Luo nodded and said: "At that time, I was just a grain organizer under Mengchang, if it wasn't for Zhang Liang's best efforts to help me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today." ”

"A prince will do his best to help you." Xiao Chen said with emotion: "If it weren't for the fact that I had seen the methods of you and Ji Wushuang, I wouldn't have believed it if I was killed." ”

"Don't take me." Li Luo waved his hand and said: "I really don't know about Zhang Liang, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that before Zhao Zhan rebelled, Ji Wushuang had already begun to lay out Zhang Liang." ”

Xiao Chen smiled and didn't speak, looking up at the sky, countless snowflakes fell from the sky, hitting Xiao Chen's cheeks, the snowflakes melted on his face The feeling was cool and quiet, but it gave people a refreshing feeling.

The look of remembrance on Li Luo's face deepened, and he continued: "Actually, Zhang Liang can be regarded as a lover, when he was still in Cangzhou, I could see that he was ambitious, but unfortunately, he happened to meet Ji Wushuang, and Ji Wushuang's appearance undoubtedly added a pair of wings to his ambitions." In addition, he has a father like Zhang Yiyun. And, of course, his brother Zhang Cheng. These people are the biggest misfortune in his life. ”

Compared with Zhang Yiyun and Zhang Cheng, Zhang Liang's calculations and thoughts are much shallower, so the failure of forcing the palace this time was almost doomed when he raised his troops. This...... It was Ji Wushuang's deathgame that paved the way for him. ”

Xiao Chen sighed lightly: "Hearing you say this, if there is no such thing, he should be a qualified idle prince, right?" ”

A man suddenly appeared in Li Luo's mind, he was wearing a luxurious yellow robe, looking at the crying people below, standing in the city tower with an expressionless face, and said: "The untouchables at the bottom are ants, and the wailing of ants can always remind me that I must become stronger." ”

After a long time, Li Luo smiled lightly and said, "Maybe." ”

The wind and snow were a little heavier, and the chill on his face made Xiao Chen can't help but tighten the fox fur on his body.

Looking at a plate of Li Luo like a wooden stake, Xiao Chen asked softly, "Who are we coming all the way from Tianfeng City to Cangzhou for?" ”

Li Luo still looked in the direction outside Cangzhou City without looking back, and looked at Li Luo's gaze, the raging wind and snow brought up a thick white fog, and the Cangyue River not far away formed layers of thin ice under this extreme climate.

Gently letting out a breath of mist, Li Luo said softly: "I'm thinking, if I were him, I would definitely take this road to Xia Kingdom." ”

"Him?" Xiao Chen's eyes were deep, looking at the Cangyue River in the distance, after crossing this river, it was the boundary of Wu Kingdom...... m.

A bold guess suddenly rose in Xiao Chen's heart: "The person you are talking about, could it be Leng Changfeng?" ”

Turning his head to look at Xiao Chen, who was shocked, Li Luo laughed and said, "You say, will he come to Cangzhou?" ”

"Is it really him?" Xiao Chen smiled dumbly, who would have thought that the person Li Luo came here to pick up on this trip was actually an ally of the Xia Kingdom this time, and the Wu State Soldiers were Leng Changfeng?

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen said with emotion on his face: "I don't know about others, but if it were me, I would definitely go far around this Cangzhou." ”

Li Luo smiled evilly and looked at the river again.

The wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and finally almost half of the river was completely covered by snow and mist, and the two stood on this city tower for nearly an hour, but the river was still calm.

In the ears of the two, only the cold wind that was constantly raging blew.

"He's probably not coming." Xiao Chen glanced up at the sky, the sky was gray, the light between the sky and the earth was obviously dimmed for a while, the sky in the deep winter world was darker than usual, Xiao Chen estimated that after a maximum of an hour, it would be completely dark, this point of cold and long wind did not come, at least today will definitely not come.

Li Luo flicked the snow on his body without hurrying, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's okay anyway, wait." ”

At the moment when Li Luo's words fell, the two suddenly heard something faintly coming from the direction of the river.

It seemed to be some kind of melody, and although it was extremely simple, it contained a certain charm.

After another one or two pillars of incense, the sound became louder and louder, and Xiao Chen at this time also completely heard the content of the lyrics:

"The sound of the waves continues, and the songs keep coming. The echoes ripple between the white clouds, and the scenery of the high gorge is endless. The light boat flew over the ten thousand mountains. ”

"Wear the evil waves, step on the dangerous beach."

"Ride the wind and waves, run to the sea."

"The water flies thousands of miles, and the ship is like an arrow."

"Ride the whirlpool, meet the rapids. Work together to pull the ship, the boatmen are all guts......"

This is a boatman's horn, and the voice is strong and clean, although it is not as graceful as the ticking of the hook bar, but when it comes out of the mouth of the humming person, it gives people a passionate feeling of strength all over the body.

Following the direction from which the horn came, I saw that on the Cangyue River, where the snow was confused, a sturdy man who was just wearing a cloth coat was shaking the oars, breaking through the snow and mist, and slowly coming from the surging Cangyue River.

At the back of the boat, a man in a green coat sat quietly in the stern of the boat, covered in countless snow. But even so, the man's figure remained as immobile as a mountain.

The moment he saw the boat, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Li Luo's face.

"Look, the person we are going to pick up is still here......"

Some people died, but not completely......
