Chapter 104: Mandarin Ducks Playing in the Water
Maoershan Black Wind Village is just a small episode of the Qincha team patrolling Youzhou along the way.
Shen Lian was amazed by Tang Xin's formation in the Black Wind Village Gathering Hall, which further strengthened his determination to work hard to cultivate.
He remembered that Yun Shuiyao said that there are nine realms in the path of cultivation, and the first three realms can be successfully broken through as long as they work hard.
There were no more accidents on the way, and Shen Lian spent the rest of his time in the carriage practicing luck except for eating, drinking, and Lazar.
Jin Yuze was influenced by him and also practiced silently.
Zhou Tianlu is different, he and Tang Xin seem to have a good conversation, and they are often invited to each other's carriages these days, and the two talk about prophecy.
The men's Yaoguang Realm, the women's Yuheng Realm, Shen Lian once laughed and said that Zhou Tianlu was Tang Xinyang's face, and Zhou Tianlu snorted proudly, "I won't go to the Jiaofang Division in the future." ”
“........”
“........”
Shen Lian and Jin Yuze are selectively deaf.
Half a month later, the Qincha team arrived at the junction of Yongzhou and Yizhou.
Here, they need to switch to the waterway and continue westward.
There is a small city on the border of Yizhou called Wancheng, which has a special dock set up by the imperial court to facilitate the travel of imperial court officials who need to travel by boat.
After Yuan Hong led the team to arrive, he took out the imperial gold medal and cabinet documents to the officials in charge, and it only took half a day to form a fleet that went directly to Youzhou.
There are more than 600 people in the Qincha team, and each ship can carry 60 people, a total of 10 ships.
When he set sail, if he couldn't see both sides of the canal, Shen Lian thought it was an expeditionary fleet at sea.
There were no iron ships in Dayu, and all the ships were made of wood, powered by oars and sails.
Each ship has a crew member at the helm and pilot, and the paddle requires the ship's Yu Linwei to do it himself.
This canal is dug artificially, the main purpose is to improve the speed of shipping between the three states of the Western Regions and the Central Plains, because of the distance, if you take the land route, along the way to trek through mountains and rivers, the mountains and forests are dense, not to mention the time and effort will face various dangers.
The canal is very wide, and countless merchant ships come and go on the river, Shen Lian heard from the sailors on the ship that these merchant ships mainly transported the native products of the Western Regions to the Central Plains for sale, and then transported silk, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.
In addition to these, there are ships that transport minerals, mainly iron ore for making weapons and copper ore for minting copper coins.
Yu Linwei's main task was to garrison the palace, and some of the soldiers were not adapted to life on the ship, and even suffered from seasickness.
In comparison, the Shadow Guard is better, but there are some members who are unwell.
There is no way, I can only resist hard, and when the dizzy is no longer dizzy, I will adapt to it.
"Tianlu? Why are you in a hurry? Shen Lian and Jin Yuze, who were standing on the deck blowing the wind, suddenly saw Zhou Tianlu holding a small jar and passing by in a hurry.
"Tang Xin Tiankui, I boiled some hot water for her." Zhou Tianlu replied happily.
Looking at his departing back, Jin Yuze pursed his lips and muttered to Shen Lian in a low voice: "Do you say that in the future, will only the two of us play together?" ”
"You can go find Yu Catcher." Shen Lian sneered.
"Huh." Jin Yuze smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect Zhou Tianlu to be true to Tang Xin.
"Do you think they can do it? I think the identity gap is a bit big, although the Yin and Yang family is not as good as the Taoist, it is also a great faction, and Tianlu has no background. Jin Yuze was worried about his good brother from the bottom of his heart.
This time, Shen Lian was silent: How do I know this, if it weren't for the identity gap, with my means, Yun Shuiyao wouldn't have called her husband a long time ago.
"Let's eat." In the distance, the shouts of sailors could be heard in the house.
"Let's go, fill my stomach and go back to my room to cultivate, I feel like I'm about to break through the Yaoguang Realm." Shen Lian patted Jin Yuze's shoulder and said excitedly.
"So fast?" Jin Yuze was surprised by the speed at which Shen Lian was progressing.
At the table, the sailors had already divided the meal for the soldiers, each with a bowl of fish and two white breads.
Shen Lian took his bowl and sniffed it vigorously, but he didn't smell the fishy smell he imagined.
There happened to be a sailor sitting next to him, and when he saw Shen Lian's movements, he couldn't help but laugh proudly, "This lord is strange why there is no fishy smell?" ”
"Exactly, I wonder if Brother Tai can tell me a thing or two?" Shen Lian sincerely asked for advice.
"People like us who beg for a living on the water all year round will always master some ways to deal with the fishy smell, otherwise who can stand it if we eat it every day." The sailor said as he ate.
Shen Lian took a bite of the fish, which was tender and delicious, "It's delicious!" ”
At this time, Zhou Tianlu passed by, holding a dinner plate with dinner for two, and after saying hello to Shen Lian and Jin Yuze, he left in a hurry.
"Will Tianlu sleep with Tang Xin tonight?" Jin Yuze said gossipingly.
"Not today, whether it will work in a few days depends on Tianlu's own means." Shen Lian replied after a little muttering.
"Why not today? I don't know. Jin Yuze had a different opinion.
"Huh." Shen Lian glanced at him with disdain, and the thief smiled: "Tiankui." ”
"Oh~~~" Jin Yuze pulled a long tone and suddenly realized.
Then the two looked at each other and laughed shamelessly.
Thinking of Tang Xin's ups and downs, the two of them felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
I didn't expect it to be cheaper Tianlu, Niang Xipi.
Shen Lian scolded in his heart.
However, I still hope that Zhou Tianlu can successfully win the other party.
After eating, Jin Yuze went to other colleagues to brag, and Shen Lian returned to his room to practice.
After a few days of hard work, he vaguely felt that he had reached the peak state of the Cave Ming Realm, and the breakthrough was only in an instant.
In the middle of the night, Shen Lian was woken up by urine.
Instinctively, he reached for the night pot that was placed next to the bed.
"Wait, I'm on a boat, what kind of night pot do I use, wouldn't it be good to go straight to the deck and let myself fly on the river?"
With a smile, Shen Lian threw down the night pot, casually draped his clothes on his body, and walked happily to the deck.
Standing on the bow of the boat, whistling while releasing water into the quiet, dark river, is also one of life's great joys.
Shen Lian saw that not only himself here, but also a few Yu Linwei who were on duty at night around were also releasing water, and after saying hello to each other, the competition seemed to depend on who was far away.
Shen Lian had a slight edge and won the game.
Proudly putting away the divine soldiers, Shen Lian prepared to go back to the room to rest.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard someone shouting to him in front of him, and the voice was very familiar.
Someone in the water?
Shen Lian immediately looked for a sound, and saw a familiar woman floating on the surface of the river waving to him.
"Hey, Brother Lian, how are you doing after not seeing you for a long time? I miss you, do you want to come down and play in the water? Didn't we all bathe like this before? ”
