Chapter 180: Zhiqing Ferry
Ten miles of ferry, ten miles of green, the smoke of the rising cooking accompanied by the wind chasing, the flat boat boat people are drunk, and the white gulls fly in the dissolution.
When Li Yi and Mu Junhe rode their war horses all the way to Zhiqing Ferry, the scene in front of them completely shocked them.
They didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful and quiet ferry port in Anzhou, which looks like a gentle charm of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
A large area of Zhiqing stretches for miles, forming a sea of Zhiqing. Since it is now September, the flowering period of Zhiqing has passed, and the umbrella-shaped flower stalk is now covered with dense oblate round fruits, which look as beautiful as blooming petals.
And along this piece of Zhiqing, there is a wide river winding in this Zhiqing, which is Chen Shui.
Although the water surface of Chenshui is wide, it is much calmer and gentler than other rivers. And docked these three or two ships on the edge of Chen Shui.
As the sun was setting, smoke had already begun to rise from the ships. But there were hardly any people in sight on the entire ferry.
"Senior brother, this Zhiqing ferry port is so desolate, we have to hire a boat to go south, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" Mu Junhe looked at the several boats docked at the ferry and couldn't help but say worriedly.
These boats in front of me are all small boats in Ubong, suitable for fishing, and it is basically impossible to drive these small boats south.
Once this kind of small boat encounters a relatively turbulent river section, it will inevitably only end up with the boat being destroyed and people killed.
"Senior brother, don't worry, there will be a ship." In this regard, Li Yi just smiled faintly, and the whole person seemed to be in his chest.
When Li Yi and Mu Junhe arrived at the shore of the ferry, they found that An Su and Jing Zizheng and others had not yet arrived here.
Judging from the original situation, as the first to set off, Ansu and Jing Zizheng's team should have arrived first.
However, Li Yi and Mu Junhe grabbed the war horse halfway, so the speed of the second half of the race was much faster.
Later, Li Yi and Mu Junhe found a fishing boat on the edge of Zhiqing Ferry, and after giving some property, they were allowed to temporarily live in another empty boat on the shore.
"Senior brother, you said that there will be boats that can go down the river, but I just went out to learn from the fishermen here and learned that there are no relatively large boats within a radius of dozens of miles." Mu Junhe picked up a pot full of fish soup and said with some concern.
"According to my estimates, ships will arrive in two days at most." Li Yi couldn't help but move his index finger when he looked at the milky white fish soup in the pot, after this day's escape, they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water halfway, so now he feels very hungry.
"Senior brother, you give me the truth, otherwise I will always be uneasy in my heart, if there is no ship arriving for a long time, we must consider leaving this place quickly, after all, the people of Anzhou Prefecture may finally deduce where we are now based on the direction of our escape." Mu Junhe put the fish soup into a bowl with a broken gap, and handed it to Li Yi.
"Senior brother, although there are no large ships around, it doesn't mean that there won't be big ships from other places in this Chen Shui!" Li Yi took a sip of the fish soup.
"Just by looking at the appearance of this Zhiqing ferry, you know that there must not be many large ships in this Chen Shui, otherwise the surrounding ferries would not be so desolate." Mu Junhe still didn't quite believe what Li Yi said.
"Senior brother, you have to say that there may not be any big ships passing through at other times, but there will definitely be big ships passing through this old water recently." Li Yi said proudly while reminiscing about the deliciousness of the fish soup.
"This ······" Mu Junhe was a little puzzled by his determined tone.
"Senior brother, who do you say are the people who drive those big ships under normal circumstances?" Seeing that Mu Junhe hadn't thought of the trick yet, Li Yi couldn't help but remind.
"Of course, the one who drives the big ship is the one who runs the luck!" Mu Junhe didn't understand Li Yi's intention in asking this question.
"Because this Chen Shui is far away from the city of Anzhou, and there are many mountains around the city of Anzhou, few people will run in the water." Li Yi shook his head and denied Mu Junhe's idea.
"Then who will run around in a big boat except for Cao Yun?"
"Senior brother, you're wrong, Anzhou Prefecture City at this time is not fine! And it's not just those who can drive big ships. Being so little bit by Li Yi, Mu Junhe instantly understood who Li Yi was talking about.
"Senior brother, are you talking about those people who went to Anzhou Prefecture to attend Shi Fangzheng's birthday banquet?"
"That's right, most of these people are the children of the Jiedu envoys and the vassal kings, and it must be unbearable for them to travel thousands of miles to come to Anzhou Prefecture on horses or in carriages." Li Yi raised his eyebrows, then lifted the pot and poured himself 10,000 fish soup, and then said.
"This boat ride is much easier than riding a horse or a carriage, so some of these people will definitely come by boat, and this Chenshui is the closest waterway to Anzhou Prefecture." Seeing his junior brother talking eloquently, Mu Junhe suddenly felt that Li Yi had the shadow of his master Taijizi on his body.
"But junior brother, even if these people have a boat, they may not be able to take us, after all, we are now the target of Shi Fangzheng's want, and I don't think anyone will risk offending Shi Fangzheng to help us." Although it was confirmed that a ship would pass by, Mu Junhe was still worried about whether they would be able to get on board.
"Senior brother, you are thinking about the problem too complicated, Master once said that there will be a most direct solution to all problems, and now the easiest way to get on the ship is not to ask them to let us get on the boat." Li Yi said with a wicked grin.
"Senior brother, are you planning to hijack the ship?" Mu Junhe was taken aback by Li Yi's idea. You must know that most of the people who can go to Shi Fangzheng's birthday banquet are people of prominent status, and these people must have a large number of guards around them.
"Senior brother, you said that with our skills, can't we rob a boat?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"It's not a problem to hijack a ship, it's just that it may leave a hidden danger in the aftermath." After all, Mu Junhe's family background is different, and his understanding of these noble royal relatives is much deeper than Li Yi's.
In his opinion, these people are a group of hungry wolf-like beings, and the reason why they can enjoy and squander is completely by oppressing the common people of the Dayu Dynasty, and their authority also comes from the deterrence of the common people.
And if someone tries to challenge their authority, they will chase you like a mad dog until they destroy you completely.
"Master once said that there are more lice and don't worry, and if there are more debts, it won't itch, and now I first offended the grassland tribe in Biansai and offended the court because of the Pengzhou army, and then on the way back there was a conflict with the Weide army, in the city of Anzhou Prefecture, there are two sons who killed the Yue country and the Yue country have an undying grudge, and now I have offended the Anzhou Festival envoy, senior brother, do you look at it now, am I still worried about offending one more person?" Li Yi wrenched his fingers and carefully listed the forces he had offended to Mu Junhe.
After Li Yi's words, Mu Junhe couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect that his little junior brother would offend so many forces not long after he came down the mountain.
And these forces are not idle.
"In that case, there is indeed no need to worry about offending one side of the forces again." At this time, Mu Junhe could only say with a wry smile.
Soon, the two brothers chatted while drinking the whole pot of fish soup. After a little water, the sky had darkened, and the moonlight began to slowly sprinkle over the land.
With a gust of breeze, Zhiqing on the edge of the entire ferry couldn't stop making a rustling sound, which made people feel extremely calm when they heard it.
Li Yi looked at the moonlight in the sky, walked out of the cabin, stood on the bow of the boat, and looked at the river water dyed silver by the moonlight. And on this silver river, from time to time, there will be fish swimming out of the water, as if absorbing the moonlight in the sky.
Looking at such a beautiful scenery, Mu Junhe couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of this scenery. But the next moment, his emotion was immediately completely broken by Li Yi's actions.
At this time, Li Yi was holding a harpoon and staring at the swimming fish that came out of the water, and then he only heard
With a "whoosh", the harpoon in his hand shot out like a sharp arrow. Then Mu Junhe saw that the harpoon accurately hit a fish that crossed the water.
After hitting the fish, Li Yi immediately happily pulled the rope tied to the harpoon.
"The fish in this old water is very fat, you want to catch me more to make a pot of fish soup myself, senior brother, your cooking skills are too rough, far worse than the master and his old man." Li Yi said as he threw the fish back into the cabin.
His words made Mu Junhe very angry, as disciples of Guigumen, they were more or less good at cooking under the influence of Taijizi.
And Mu Junhe only thinks that his cooking skills are much better than the so-called chefs in some restaurants now.
But I didn't expect my cooking skills to be despised one day. However, he couldn't refute Li Yi's ridicule of his cooking skills, after all, the kid's cooking skills in front of him were so good that even the simplest ingredients would become delicious in his hands.
Time passed quickly, and by the time the moon was in the middle of the sky, there were already a dozen fish piled up in their cabin.
After a cursory observation, he found that these fish should be enough for everyone to eat together, so Li Yi began to clean up these fish.
Looking at the flying knife in his hand, the fish were quickly disposed of in his hands, and Mu Junhe couldn't help but sigh that if his junior brother went to the restaurant to apply for a job, he would definitely become a chef in charge.
"Junior brother, someone is here!" After he put all the fish in the pot, he suddenly heard Mu Junhe calling himself.
So he immediately dropped the lid of the pot in his hand and got out of the cabin. He looked in the direction pointed out by Mu Junhe, and saw a group of figures not far away, slowly walking in their direction in the half-human-tall Zhiqing bush.
Li Yi stared at it and found that these figures were not wearing armor, and it seemed that they were not the soldiers of the city guard battalion in Anzhou Prefecture.
When these figures got closer, he saw clearly that it was Hai Yin who was walking at the front of the crowd, and behind him were An Le and Xu Yan.
"I didn't expect you to arrive here earlier than Ansu and them, everyone has worked hard." After confirming the identity of the other party, Li Yi immediately greeted him.
And Hai Yin and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that it was Li Yi who stepped forward to greet them.
"Childe didn't expect you to be the first to arrive here, which surprised us!" Xu Yan immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"We didn't expect to be the first to arrive here, we grabbed a few war horses from the Anzhou City Guard Camp on the way, so we ran faster." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Everyone put their things down and sit down to rest, and the fish soup will be fine later." Seeing everyone's big bags and small bags, and with a dusty look, Li Yi immediately said.
Since Ansu Jingzizheng and the others fled by a glider and he and Mu Junhe escaped by paraglider, they could not carry too many salutes, so all these salutes were carried by Haiyin and Xu Yan's group.
"I didn't expect that as soon as we arrived here, Zhiqingdu would be able to have fish soup to drink, and we were indeed hungry." Hai Yin looked at the pot in the bow of the boat, and he swallowed immediately.
He knew that Li Yi's cooking skills were a must, and since he tasted Li Yi's cooking skills, he began to completely indulge in the food made by Li Yi.
"By the way, monk, can you eat meat?" Looking at An Le, who had never spoken all the way, Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Although I used to be a disciple of Buddhism, I can no longer be regarded as a disciple of Buddhism because of the destruction of Buddhism, so I don't have to abide by those rules and precepts anymore." There was not the slightest annoyance at Xu Yan's ridicule, he just replied lightly.
It didn't take long for the hot fish soup to be ready, and everyone also relied on the boat to set up tents under Li Yi's guidance.
They couldn't spend the night out because of the cold nights, but the boat was so small that they had to pitch their tents.
When everyone drank the hot fish soup, the original tiredness was also swept away in an instant.
"It's delicious!" After a mouthful of fish soup, everyone felt that this fish soup was delicious and sweet, and it was mellow and fragrant as soon as they opened their mouths.
"I have to say that Childe's cooking skills are really unparalleled in the world." Xu Yan said while quickly sipping the fish soup.
"You will be afraid of horses, my junior brother's craftsmanship is comparable to ordinary people, junior brother quickly serve me a bowl of fish soup, I will starve to death." A voice came from the Zhiqing bushes not far away.
Li Yi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Jing Zizheng and An Su.
"I didn't expect us to be the first to set off, but we were the last to the end." Seeing that Li Yi and Hai Yin and the two teams had already arrived, An Su couldn't help but speak.
"Senior brother, haven't you encountered any trouble along the way?" Seeing that Jingzizheng and An Su were a little tired, Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Don't mention it, not long after we flew out, we found the cavalry of the city guard battalion of Anzhou Prefecture City chasing after us, and we had no choice but to keep adjusting the defense direction of the flight, and it took several twists and turns to get rid of these people." Keiko walked up to the bow of the boat and opened the lid of the pot, and then looked carefully into the pot, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see that there was still a lot of soup in the pot.
"yes, but we don't have any danger, but this flight is really exciting." Although Qi Chao felt very tired all the way, he immediately began to become energetic again at the mention of flying.
"Yes, you're lucky to be able to get here safely and without any danger." Li Yi nodded and sighed.
