Chapter 975: It's all because of the King of the Southwest

"Back to my uncle, the land transport side has also been released, and the caravan has all entered the inland."

On the deck, Yan Gang reported.

"Good!"

Lin Bai nodded.

Ancient transport, water transport is undoubtedly the most cost-effective, land transport depends on livestock, the cost is too great, water transport is not, as long as the water transport is unimpeded, the problem of land transport is not big.

Of course, it's better to be able to put nature, and the talented people don't want to make too much trouble.

Now that it's been released over there, most of them are looking at this side, and seeing that it's been released here, there is naturally no need to block it anymore.

So much better!

Lin Bai was very pleased, and the ship went all the way east.

Because of the smooth water, the driving speed is very fast, and after a day, it enters Huguang, and then it is not far from Ezhou.

Ezhou is located in the middle of the court, looking at the edge of the river, whether it is by water or land, it can be said that it extends in all directions, it is because of this unique geographical conditions, Zhu Kun and Zhu Tai will choose the site of the new city here.

These two guys aren't exactly losers either, and they're ambitious enough.

The location of the new city was set here, in order to cover the entire dynasty.

Once this place is developed, it can radiate a wide range, and tourists from the south to the north are relatively close to this place.

It is precisely for this reason that when Zhu Kun and Zhu Kang planned this new city, the scale was extraordinary.

Even the palace has been arranged, and it is conceivable that this is for a permanent residence here in the future.

Although the planning is good, the ability is obviously poor.

In addition, the two are not in unison, fighting openly and secretly, both want to overwhelm each other, and lack of corresponding knowledge, so they fell into this step.

Lin Bai sighed with emotion.

remembered that the last time I went to Ezhou, it was also a mess, but it was okay at that time, at least with the support of Lao Zhu.

It's good this time, not to mention that the mess is even worse, Lao Zhu is still pulling back his legs, what is this for?

The great genius is called a depressed.

But now it's all in vain, it's all here, that's the only way, it's over.

What's more, there are two beautiful ladies to accompany you, so let's take it as a tour!

At this time, the ship entered a huge lake, and as far as the eye could see, it was vast.

From time to time, ships loom in the distance, as well as merchant and fishing boats.

Because it is approaching the end of the year, although it can't be compared, the weather is still cold, standing on the deck, the great talent has no intention of admiring the lake and mountains, but he still asks, "Where is this?" ”

Gu Linger rolled her eyes and looked at her husband as if he was the one who left the dynasty.

He replied: "This is Pinghu, and then it will be Ezhou." ”

All right!

The talented man really doesn't know, no matter what lake it is, it's too cold, or go into the cabin and hug the lady to warm up.

The talented man smiled, and even pulled the two beautiful ladies to prepare to enter the cabin.

Suddenly, a faint cry for help was heard in the distance.

What's going on?

Lin Bai looked back in amazement and looked at the lake around him, there was a faint mist on the lake, although it was not very thick, but it also had a certain impact on his vision, and he could only roughly identify the direction of the sound.

Gu Linger wondered: "Could it be a water bandit?" ”

Lin Bai was also a little suspicious, and hurriedly called Yan Gang, who said: "Back to Uncle, it should be unlikely, the Wangjiang River system has been extremely strict recently......

This year, the Tianzhu Huo Ma incident was very noisy, and the Wangjiang River water system was the most important water transportation channel from the DPRK.

Especially in the recent period, the Red Lotus Sect has been in turmoil, and northern Shaanxi and Hedong have become a pot of porridge.

Of course, that's the case, but how to execute it next, that's another matter.

"Hurry up and check it out!"

As he spoke, the ship approached the source of the sound.

Sure enough!

I saw a small cargo ship surrounded by a group of bandits, armed with weapons, harpoons, and firewood knives.

The cargo ship was surrounded and wanted to escape, but a water ghost had already entered the water and was digging the bottom of the ship, and the people on board panicked and shouted for help.

Are there really water bandits?

Lin Bai was speechless, what did the people from the Water Master Camp and Caoyun Yamen do to eat? Ezhou is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is still at this juncture, so I really don't want to live?

But that's not right! A decent weapon is useless, this water bandit did it......

The people on the cargo ship saw Lin Bai and his party at this moment, as if they were seeing a life-saving straw, and they were shouting for help, while the expressions of the water bandits were much more complicated.

Such a huge merchant ship is undoubtedly a fat sheep.

It's just that such merchant ship escorts are naturally indispensable, and their combat power is obviously insufficient.

Just as they were pondering, a series of fierce arrows had already struck.

For the guards of the Southwest Palace, these water bandits are naturally not worth mentioning, they are completely small minions and live targets.

There was a burst of chickens and dogs, and these water bandits were suddenly frightened and overwhelmed, and they jumped out of the water one after another.

Really!

These bandits are too unprofessional, Lin Bai said: "Catch a few and ask about the situation." ”

"Yes!"

Yan Gang immediately gave the order, and the water bandits who fell into the water had nowhere to escape, so they had to be captured obediently, and several dark-skinned water bandits were brought to Lin Bai.

These bandits all seemed to be a little frightened and weak-hearted, only the first man with triangular eyes was calmer, but his eyes flickered.

Lin Bai glanced at a few people and asked directly, "Why do you want to be a water bandit?" ”

Triangle eyes glanced at Lin Bai and said, "Boy, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs and let us go immediately, otherwise when my brothers arrive, you will be happy." ”

"Presumptuous!"

Yan Gang shouted loudly when he heard this, "What is not ashamed, do you know who is standing in front of you?" King of the Southwest, if you dare to be disrespectful to the prince, be careful of your dog's life. ”

What! King of the Southwest?

Hearing these three words, all the water bandits were stunned, and their faces showed an incredible look.

The triangular-eyed man also showed a hint of fear in his eyes, but he reacted quite quickly, and said hesitantly: "You said that the king of the southwest is the king of the southwest?" ”

"And what if it's the King of the Southwest? The brothers can't survive, it's not all because of the king of the southwest......"

Yan Gang was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Lin Bai was also stunned for a moment, and looked at the man: "You can't live because of the King of the Southwest?" How do you say that? ”

A hint of surprise also appeared in the eyes of Wu Qiaojun and Gu Linger, obviously very puzzled.

The triangular-eyed man continued: "Of course, because of the king of the southwest, he took all the merchants and silver from Ezhou and brought them to the southwest. ”

"The king of the southwest has long given up Ezhou, and he only develops his own fiefdom, and he is greedy for the wages of the big guys, so that everyone can't get their wages, so they ask the court for it, and the court officials protect each other, not only don't give money, but also arrest people."

"The big guy can't survive anymore, and he is forced to have no choice but to block the road and rob."
