After a night of relaxation, the boatmen were energetic, the sails were more powerful, and the passenger ship seemed to be faster.

All the way along the river and against the boat, over three mountains and five streams, the mountains on both sides of the river are undulating, and the scenery is unpredictable. After a few days, Wu Zhi and Pan Wei got acquainted, and from time to time they talked together and discussed the issue of the provincial test.

Pan Wei was observing Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi was also paying attention to Pan Wei.

For Wu Zhi, he felt that Pan Wei, the future brother-in-law, was very interesting, loyal and honest, but not lacking in shrewdness and courage, and he was a talent that could be created. And after Pan Wei became more and more in contact with Wu Zhi, he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to see through, and he was still so mysterious and unfathomable. Wu Zhi wrote "Tianjingsha Qiusi", he has read it many times, and now he has memorized it like a stream, and every time he reads it, he is amazed.

The water is long, the boat is boring, and Wu Zhi can only find something interesting to do. For example, sometimes when he is in a hurry, he will help the boatman to paddle the oars, and the boatman is so happy that he will add more fish and meat to his dish as a reward; Sometimes when I am tired of reading, I go to the deck to meditate and breathe in the river breeze, and then play a few punches to move my muscles and bones; Sometimes I take Xiao'e to sit on the bow of the boat and watch the morning sun and enjoy the bright moon, sad spring and autumn.

Xiao'e is very well-behaved and smart. So, Takeshi began to teach her some numbers and arithmetic, he juxtaposed capital numbers with Arabic numerals, taught her to know the distinction, and then taught her the later formulas of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Xiao'e looked at the numbers and symbols he wrote, strange, very surprised, and very interested, she learned with her heart, learned quickly, and remembered very well. Wu Zhi usually sees that she is sensitive to numbers, so he wants to train her, help him keep accounts and manage accounts in the future, and become the chief housekeeper of the martial family.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, several days passed, and on this day, the passenger ship sailed to Weizhou and entered the boundary of Weizhou.

Weizhou, the hometown of the Spring and Autumn Patriotic Nation, famous ministers and loyal sages, successive dynasties, endlessly. Such as the ancient loyal minister Bigan, the military strategist Jiang Shang (Jiang Ziya), the Warring States politician Shang Ying, the Wei Guoxian doctor Lu Boyu, the Eastern Han Dynasty hydraulic expert Taishou Du Shi, the Three Kingdoms hermit Sun Deng, the Tang Dynasty Cheng related broadcast, Zhou Wu Ku Fu Youyi, the Tang Dynasty astronomer Shang Xianfu, the Tang Dynasty Shangshu Banhong, the Tang Dynasty monk Shi Mingdan, the Song Dynasty minister Wei Renpu, the Song Dynasty minister Han Xuan, the Song Xianglu Dafang, etc., since ancient times it is the place where the wind and clouds meet.

Jixian County, Weizhou, at noon, the sky is cloudy and uncertain, there are black and white clouds floating in the sky, the sun is sometimes golden, sometimes hidden behind the dark clouds, clear and extinguished, changeable.

The passenger boat is leisurely sailing in a wide river bay, surrounded by reeds, Wu Zhi, Xiao'e and everyone are standing on the bow of the boat, leisurely enjoying the scenery of the lush reeds on the river bay. At this moment, suddenly, six clippers whizzed through the reeds, blocking the way of the passenger ships in an instant, and the group came closer. On each boat, there were five or six men standing in the pestles, all with knives, guns and clubs in their hands, shouting in their mouths, staring at the passenger ship with fierce looks.

Wu Zhi's heart sank: It was attacked! They've met water robbers!

This seemingly peaceful world finally revealed its cruel malice to Wu Zhi and them again.

The bandit ship slowly approached, and the passenger ship was forced to stop. When the people on the passenger ship saw this, they immediately screamed and screamed in fright, their souls were scattered, and they were terrified, and the boatmen and boatmen were also trembling with fear and did not know what to do.

Seeing this, Wu Zhi hurriedly pulled Xiao'e into the cabin, instructed her to hide at the head of the bed, quickly opened the rattan box containing bamboo grenades, pulled out four bamboo grenades from it, inserted them into the belt hanging bag (he had been wearing the belt since he got on the boat), picked up the fire fold, quickly turned around, rushed out of the cabin, closed the hatch casually, and then walked quickly through the panicked crowd and walked onto the bow deck.

At this time, I saw that the two bandit ships had already thrown out the hook and nailed the passenger ship, and were not hurrying to close the distance between the passenger ship and the bandit ship. The bandits on the boat were holding weapons in their hands and were eager to climb onto the passenger boat, and two of the bandits had already climbed the passenger boat and were ready to turn over.

The people on the passenger ship were panicked and took care of themselves, and the screams and cries were mixed with the unbridled laughter and shouts of the robbers, which were incessant and shocking. Pan Wei was also frightened and panicked, and the brave Wang Er held a wooden stick and bravely protected him in front of him, but he also looked panicked, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Wu Zhi rushed out of the crowd with him, approached forward, and rushed towards the two bandits who had already climbed onto the passenger boat. The two bandits were proud of being the first to climb onto the passenger ship, raising their knives and looking at everyone, laughing wildly, but seeing Wu Zhi but not retreating but advancing, rushing towards him, they couldn't help but be stunned, and cut with their knives. Wu Zhi nimbly dodged the long knives slashed by the two bandits, rushed left and right, punched the left and kicked the right, knocking the two of them over on the bow of the boat one by one, and then followed up, one person and one kick, kicking the two into the water. This time, he exerted his strength, and the sound of kicking broken bones was extremely harsh, and after two screams, the two bandits fell into the water, and could only struggle in the water in pain for help. Then, Wu Zhi quickly ran to the side of the ship, grabbed the hook that had already hung up the passenger ship, and threw it back to the bandit boat with all his might. Two more screams followed, and the hook he threw back wounded the bandits on the boat.

This action, like flowing water, was completed in an instant. Seeing this, everyone on the boat was stunned by Wu Zhi's brave performance, and they were silent for an instant. The bandits on the six bandit boats were also stunned and frightened, and they were stunned for a long time before they reacted, and hurriedly rescued the two companions from the water, and then surrounded them in an uproar.

Seeing that the bandits were still unwilling to retreat, Wu Zhi took out a bamboo grenade from his belt, took out the fire fold, blew away the flames, and steadily lit the lead. This throw happened to fall in the cabin of the bandit ship, white smoke rose up, followed by a shocking bang, the bamboo grenade exploded, the clipper instantly broke in half, the six robbers on the bandit ship also instantly wailed and fell into the water, some sank into the water on the spot, some were thrashed on the surface of the water in pain, covered with blood, some severed limbs floated on the water, the smoke was all over the sky, the water was a mess, the blood and water were smeared, making people look frightened and terrifying.

This thunderous explosion frightened the terrified people on the passenger ship, and the rest of the robbers were even more frightened and terrified. The surviving robbers looked at each other, and after a moment they screamed, raised their knives, guns and clubs, and wanted to gamble, row the clippers, and gather again. Wu Zhi watched them approach with a calm face, and unhurriedly pulled out another grenade from his belt and raised it.

The bandits who had just approached the passenger ship, when they saw that Wu Zhi had another thing in his hand that was exactly the same as just now, they all turned pale with fright, and hurriedly abandoned the boat and jumped into the water, swimming desperately to the shore in a panic, and disappeared into the dense reeds in an instant, leaving only five bandit boats swaying one by one, and the weapons fell into the water, and a boat was scattered.

Before the people on the passenger ship could react, they saw that the area around the passenger ship was empty, and these robbers were running faster than rabbits! The peak turned around, and everyone woke up like a dream, and instantly let out thunderous cheers, and cried with joy: Now there is salvation!

When the robbers appeared, it was as if they had fallen from the mortal world to hell, and the people on the passenger ship thought that they were doomed, and then returned to the world in an instant, and they felt like they were having a nightmare.

Wu Zhi saw that the robbers had all slipped away, so he was relieved to put the bamboo grenade into the hanging bag on his waist, which could not be made public.

At this time, people finally settled down and came to thank him, their eyes full of gratitude and awe. They worshipped him as if he were a god, believing that he was the reincarnation of the god of thunder. Good fellow, with his bare hands, one against two, two or three times to knock the robbers into the water; And just picked up the bamboo tube in his hand, and as soon as he lit the fire, the thunder appeared, and the enemy was wiped out, which was many times stronger than the "thunderbolt" used by the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty at that time.

Everyone didn't know what the weapon in Wu Zhi's hand was, and thought it was just a small bamboo tube!

Wu Zhi couldn't explain it, so he laughed it off.

The boatman was even more excited and grateful, and thanked him again and again, and thanked him with five bodies. If there was no Wu Zhi, he would probably lose both wealth and ship as a boatman, and even lose his life!

After the boatman and the boatman had collected their mood, they rocked the sails again, and the passenger ship finally set sail slowly again and continued to move forward.

On the passenger ship, the guests were still rejoicing and talking. At this time, Pan Wei and Wang Er were standing beside Wu Zhi, and they were also frightened, looking at him in awe and inexplicably, like looking at a monster.

Xiao'e heard the loud noise, and had already run out of the cabin, leaning on Wu Zhi's side, her soul was calm, she was very scared and worried just now.

"What did you just use?" Pan Wei was stuck in his throat, he couldn't hold it back, and asked him softly, would he think that Wu Zhi was the god of thunder.

Xiao'e's eyes flashed, she knew what it was, but Wu Zhi didn't say it, and she wouldn't reveal it.

Wang Er also looked at him with curiosity on his face.

"You come with me." Wu Zhi thought about it and knew that sooner or later he would not be able to hide it, so he asked him to follow him into the cabin, took out a bamboo grenade, and handed it to him.

Pan Wei took the bamboo grenade in his hand, and his face was full of doubts: such an inconspicuous bamboo tube can blow up a ship and blow up six people without the ability to fight back? Is it so magical?

Pan Wei knew gunpowder and knew that gunpowder could explode, but the gunpowder in his impression was not so powerful.

"What is this?" Pan Wei was still confused. Wang Er was also puzzled on the side.

"Grenade! A bamboo grenade I made myself! Wu Zhi said.

"Grenades? I've never seen it! When Pan Wei heard that he made it himself, his eyes suddenly lit up: "This kid, such a powerful weapon can be made, what a genius!" Thinking of this, his heart is more and more shocked and not calm, or his sister has a vision, a discerning eye!

After this accident, every time everyone on the passenger ship looked at Wu Zhi's eyes, they were so hot, and they became more and more polite and respectful to him. The boatman simply provided him and Xiao'e with food for free, and the food was more delicious, but Wu Zhi couldn't screw him, so he had to accept it calmly. Xiao'e followed the light, and she was even more happy and smiled.

The rest of the trip was calm and smooth sailing. After Weizhou, to Wuzhi, and then from Wuzhi to the east into the Bianhe River, the boat family looked at Wuzhi, the protector of the god, and was not so anxious to rush and tired themselves, should go, should stop, all the way is very leisurely.

When the passenger boat entered the Bianhe River, the number of boats gradually increased, and all kinds of boats and passenger boats came from time to time, or chased the tail, which meant that everyone was getting closer and closer to Tokyo Bianliang.

On this day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is slanting to the west, the remnant sun is like fire, the passenger ship is chopping waves in the clear waves, and people are also sitting in the cabin, bored to watch outside the cabin, the boat comes and goes, very lively. Suddenly, a city wall in front of them lay in front of people's eyes, as the passenger ship approached, the brown city wall became taller and taller, and a simple and heavy sense of oppression rushed to the face, the crowd immediately cheered, Wu Zhi knew that Tokyo Bianliang had finally arrived!

Passing through the bustling boat, the passenger ship slowly sailed into the West Water Gate, directly to the West Water Gate Wharf, docked the ship, Wu Zhi and his party of four people took the luggage and disembarked on the shore, and finally stepped on the ground of Bianliang, Tokyo.

This trip, the boat and car are tiring, through the mountains and mountains, the wind and dust, the whole 16 days of driving. Along the way, everyone has endured all the hardships and experienced the moment of life and death.
