On the banks of the Nineteen Rivers, a place that was originally barren and difficult to see people for dozens of miles, has become hot since two months ago.

All kinds of timber and truckloads of cement were piled on top of each other, and the first factories of Dayao were built here within two months before ordinary people knew it.

There are countless ox carts and carts that come and go every day.

In addition to the fish caught daily in the Nineteen Rivers and cooked at high temperatures and sent to the new military camp, various stones such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, and feldspar were brought from afar.

A lively scene.

Correspondingly, there are two new military camps dozens of miles away, where 40,000 new troops are being trained.

When Ren Baqian arrived at these two new military camps with the empress, he attracted attention second only to the empress.

"That's the kid, right?"

"One hand pinched to death, it should be him. ”

"This bastard ......"

"Hit him with a stone?"

"Looking for death, Your Majesty is ...... Although I also want to hit him with a stone. ”

I don't know how many people are cursing in secret.

They came to join the army to eat meat, and as a result, they ate fish every day, and there were some unstewed spines in it, which were often pricked in the throat, and the taste was not good.

This is all because of this kid's bad idea, which is simply lacking in morality.

Ever since he arrived at the gate of this barracks, Ren Baqian had felt the hostility coming from all around, all from those recruits who were muscular, had bronzed skin, and had a fierce face.

Although he had been reminded by the empress, it was all hostility, and that kind of gaze pierced him like a steel needle, which was not very pleasant.

"I'm quite innocent......" Ren Baqian whispered beside the empress, very aggrieved.

Now that so many people can't even eat, if you find a way to ensure your food and nutrition, you don't thank it, even if you are still hostile.

It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin.

"It's not innocent, you came up with the idea, after all. The Empress replied to him casually.

"But at that time, it was already very difficult to supply 20,000 new troops, let alone 40,000 new troops. Ren Baqian shouted. "If this is not the case, there will be no food and grass supply for the 40,000 new troops, let alone anything else. Ren Baqian was even more aggrieved.

"So you came up with this idea......" the empress put it another way.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also for state affairs. Ren Baqian was completely depressed, he was too wronged.

And then the idea came up, so they didn't hate the wrong person. ”

Ren 8000: ......

Can you still chat?

Although in any case, the idea was indeed his.

Those new army soldiers are to eat meat, but they become fish every day, no matter what the reason, the idea is to let the eight thousand, and they naturally hate the eight thousand.

In a way, yes.

Ren Baqian was helpless. "Ministers are also for state affairs. ”

The empress grabbed his hand and squeezed it as if she had unintentional movements, which was considered comfort, and they parted randomly.

The empress said softly. "You can't expect everybody to understand that much. ”

The empress's movements were very fast, but this small action was still in the eyes of many people, and they all looked at the sky and didn't see anything to do.

Ren Baqian knew that the empress's words were right.

Even in modern society, not everyone understands things, let alone in such a backward world, the target of the requirements is those who have never read a book and may go out of the mountains for the first time in their lives.

He understood this, but it didn't prevent him from continuing to look aggrieved.

These are two different things.

Both barracks took a turn to see the situation in the barracks and their drills.

The first new barracks looked a little stronger than the second, at least less chaotic, and more imposing during the drills.

The first military camp is the first batch of new troops who have been training for more than five months, and after the empress's inspection, they will be drawn to the northeastern capital.

And the new troops in the second new battalion will have to go through four months of training.

After a delay of twelve days, the Empress set out again for a ferry port upstream, where three large ships were already waiting.

It was indeed very large, forty or fifty meters long, with three floors on the plank, nearly twenty meters above the water.

The boat itself should be luxurious, and carvings can be seen in many places. However, I don't know how many years the ship has been used, the hull is very old, and "patches" can still be seen in some places.

In the lower part of the ship, a lot of long slurry is poking out, which serves as the driving force for the ship to move forward.

"Your Majesty be careful. Ren Baqian saw that the empress was going up the gangway, and went up to help the empress very diligently, and the people around him were all rolling their eyes.

This ship is twice as tall, and Your Majesty wants to go up, that is, in an instant, how can you be courteous?

The expression on the empress's face was full of superfluous acts, but it was quite useful in her heart.

Touching the empress's arm through the thin light veil, Ren Baqian didn't have any messy thoughts, but looked at the gangway under his feet cautiously. Each step shuddered with each step, making him wonder if the gangway would suddenly break.

When I went on deck and saw the whole picture of this ship, it was indeed magnificent. With the productivity of this world, such a large ship is considered a behemoth.

However, the boat is the same as seen below, although clean, but very old.

"Du Laoliu, be careful. ”

"Alas, why is this ladder so trembling? It feels like I'm going to fall, help, Tie Xun come and help me!" two whispered voices came from behind him.

Ren Baqian turned his head to look over on the side of the boat, and Du Laoliu stood on the gangway and winked at a young man below.

Pull out the gun.

"Bang!"

"Ah——!h

"Teacher, I was wrong!" Du Lao Liu put his hands on both sides of his legs, stood there with his head down, and said honestly: "Manly man, no matter how dangerous it is, you must not say it." ”

"You know too much!" Ren Baqian said lightly.

"Bang!"

"Ah——!h

Many people below watched Ren Baqian's figure disappear by the boat, and silently recited Ren Baqian's words a few times in their hearts, these words must be remembered, and they must not be forgotten, these words have momentum.

Stuffing the gun into his waist, Ren Baqian walked back to the empress: "Where did this ship come from?"

He wouldn't think that this ship was built by Da Yao, and the style would be different. The carvings are exquisite, and the fallen paint has not been repaired.

He did have an idea, could this ship be left by the Hao Kingdom back then? That's at least seventy years, you must know that this is in the water, seventy years has already been soaked, right?

"It's been a few years since Excellence sent it. The empress said.

Ren Baqian thought about it, and excellence was the capital protector of the Southeast Metropolitan Protectorate.

I heard that there are many rivers in Chen Guoguo, so it goes without saying where this boat came from.

"It's time to change, this boat isn't very safe on the river, right?" Ren Baqian stepped on the deck, creaking under his feet.

"Excellence is already looking for a suitable vessel, and if it finds it, send it back. ”

Ren 8000: ......

Listen to the words, you don't need to ask anything else, and you don't even think about where to order or whether others sell it.

It is estimated that Excellence buys a boat by throwing a knife or two pieces of silver on the other party's neck, and asks the other party if he wants a boat or money?

It is estimated that the people who can take this kind of boat are not ordinary people, and when they look at this posture, they must be asking for money.

The speed of the ship is not fast, and it takes about half an hour to cross the river for more than ten miles.

However, it was smooth, and there were hardly any bumps.

Ren Baqian and the empress stood at the bow of the boat and heard a song coming from afar.

"The long river rises from the feet, and the waves go to the end of the world to ......"

The voice reached Ren Baqian's ears, and he could only hear these two sentences clearly.

Strangely, the song did not come from the other side, but from a place parallel to the ship.

Ren Baqian turned his head to look around, and finally saw a small dot in the river in the distance.

Or on the surface of the river, there is a person who is stepping on the water and sliding towards the other side of the river, in the same direction as himself and the others, but with a distance of several miles.

If it weren't for this singing, I'm afraid I might not be able to find each other.

Yes, skating, just like ice skating, although you can't see clearly, the other party is extremely fast, and it is obvious that they are not swimming.

"Treading water?" Ren Baqian was shocked, he didn't expect to see such a figure in Dayao's territory.

"Give me the binoculars. Ren Baqian greeted the guards.

Soon, Ren Baqian saw the whole picture of the other party through the telescope.

A man, dressed in a purple shirt, couldn't see his age clearly, but he could see clearly that the other party was indeed gliding in the river.

And with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, the wind blew his clothes up, and the posture was as if he was about to fly away.

This is not an ordinary person.

Looking more closely, Ren Baqian's face became strange.

I saw a piece of wood floating and sinking in the water under the feet of the other party, and a rope was tied in front of the wood, and in front of the rope was a "only" flying sword, which was more than a meter above the water, pulling the wood like a cow and horse to move forward with the man on it.

The fluttering image of the master in his heart suddenly burst like a soap bubble.
