Yueyang City lives on the bank of Yunmengze, and many people will move here, so it is not as lively as the capital of Xiazhou.

On the street, the goods are displayed in a dazzling array of goods, Chen Mingye took the beautiful Xiaohong all the way over, Rao is used to seeing the prosperity of Kyoto, but he is also a little fascinated by many unique characteristics of Nanchu, not to mention Xiaohong. The little girl was full of interest all the way, jumping and jumping, obviously very happy.

Chen Mingye bought her some snacks all the way, Xiaohong's excitement did not stop, looking at her appearance, if she hadn't stayed in Qingxuan for a while, Chen Mingye seriously suspected that Qingxuan was a poor and miserable place.

The two walked downstairs to Yueyang, but they saw the red lights shining brightly, and the building was full of fireworks.

Xiaohong's eyes widened and she muttered, "There are so many people here." ”

Chen Mingye frowned, Yueyang Tower at night was beautiful, but it was a little too delicate.

"That's it, let's take you to have a look," Chen Mingye took Xiaohong by the hand, squeezed through the crowd, and walked all the way in.

Although it was already night, the business of this Yueyang Tower was becoming more and more prosperous.

Yueyang Tower is a famous scenic spot all over the world, and it is also a famous restaurant in the entire Jingzhou territory. In the layers of pavilions, there are people waiting, and the figure of Xiao Er running back and forth between the floors, just looking at it feels very lively.

Chen Mingye took Xiaohong to the more than ten floors of the building, and saw that the number of people on this floor was relatively rare, so he picked a window seat and sat down.

Xiaohong leaned on the edge of the window, poking her head out to look out.

Yueyang City is in full view, and the stars and lights of the city are intertwined and lit up in the dark, like fireflies in a summer night, which is quite interesting. Looking into the distance, under the bright moonlight, the magnificent Yun Mengze officially entered their eyes.

The lake and autumn moon are harmonious, and the surface of the lake has no wind mirrors and is not polished.

Chen Mingye couldn't help but think of this famous sentence written by the poet Liu Xizhuan of the previous dynasty about the beautiful scenery under the moon in Yunmengze, reflecting the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he really had a sense of relaxation and transcendence.

"Wow!" Xiaohong opened her mouth and exclaimed slightly, "It's really a big lake!"

Chen Mingye found it interesting and said, "How is it compared to our Yunling Pond in Lotus Peak?"

Xiaohong snorted and said unconvinced: "The superb view of our Lotus Peak is also very beautiful, although this big lake is very large, there must be something unsightly." ”

Chen Mingye laughed: "What does Xiaohong think is the best lake?"

When Xiao Hong heard this, she tilted her head and thought about it, and then replied seriously: "Does Xiao Hong think it is the best-looking? It must be the lotus pond at the top of the Jade Void Palace, the master." ”

Chen Mingye was stunned, sighed, reached out and touched Xiaohong's head: "Sure enough, it's not for nothing that you should be this little senior sister." ”

"Hmph!" Xiao Hong shook off his hand angrily, "Little junior brother, I warn you, don't touch Xiao Hong's head again!"

Chen Mingye smiled and touched the little girl's head: "Okay, listen to you." ”

"That's pretty much it. Xiaohong glanced at him and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

Chen Mingye laughed, ordered some wine and food with Xiao Er, and the two of them ran around for a day, just to rest, enjoying the food while enjoying the boundless lake.

The next day, Chen Mingye took Xiaohong to rest for a good night, and then climbed Yueyang Tower again at the behest of the little girl, ready to take a look at the scenery and lake scenery on a sunny day.

As soon as he boarded Yueyang Road, Chen Mingye saw that above the lake, a majestic fleet of high-rise boats was practicing exercises, and the momentum was shocking, which was quite amazing.

Chen Mingye squinted his eyes, looking at this Jingxiang army, and his ears were filled with the noisy voices of the onlookers.

"King Chu Xiang is training again?"

"Shhhh

"Hahaha, this brother is really interesting!"

"Speaking of which, the saint is really relieved today, and it is not at all necessary to let King Chu Xiang do this. ”

......

Chen Mingye heard it well, and finally remembered that although this Yueyang belonged to the territory of Jingzhou, it was also the territory of Zhao Heng, the vassal king.

Zhao Heng, when today's son of the same mother, can be said to be the only one to get the grace of the saint, when today's son ascended the throne, he was named the king of Chuxiang, can eat the taxes of several counties, and has countless staff, although he is the prince of the unsealed territory, but he is the veritable lord of Jingzhou.

Haoming did not have a feudal system, so Jingzhou Mu did have his place, but for Zhao Heng, he was really a puppet who manipulated at will.

When Chaotianzi didn't seem to care about this, as long as Zhao Heng didn't have a regular army in his hands, he could play whatever he wanted.

Zhao Heng likes the vast lake scenery of Yunmengze the most, and often exercises the Jingzhou Navy here.

Speaking of which, Zhao Heng nominally has no army, and the Jingzhou army seems to be in the hands of the state pastor, but in fact, even the state minister has become a guest of this vassal king, let alone which army?

The land of Jingxiang, with many rivers and lakes, is naturally the best at water warfare. In the battle for hegemony of the Six Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period, Nan Chu and Haoming fought a pure hard battle, if it was involved in a roundabout water battle with Haoming by relying on the terrain, the final success or failure may be really hard to say.

Zhao Heng was a little obese, but it did not affect his love for the march in the slightest.

In the early morning of this morning, it coincided with Zhao Heng rehearsing his water army in high spirits.

This vassal king never seemed to know how to write the word convergence, and stood on the deck of the fleet excitedly, constantly giving orders to the fleet stationed on Yun Mengze, and had the potential to show off his might to the whole world.

Yueyang Building is about dozens of floors high, and for a time, almost half of the tourists focused their eyes on this prince. And this King of Chu Xiang didn't care about the viewing of many tourists at all, and probably had the idea of showing his style to many tourists.

Chen Mingye listened to the various remarks in his ears, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was obvious.

This King of Chu Xiang, I had heard of his name when I was in Beizhou at that time, but I didn't expect to meet one day.

Different from the people's perception of this domineering prince, the sick seedling master in Beizhou at Chen Mingye once commented on this King of Chuxiang, who has always been blind and lawless.

Cover your heart and exaggerate to save your life.

is a mere remark, but it reveals the embarrassing situation of this dignified son of heaven.

Chen Mingye has always been curious about how such a character uses his voice and color to disguise himself, but he didn't expect it to be an eye-opener today.

Above Yun Mengze, the two armies clashed, and the iron cables were crossed, and they were fighting.

The Jingxiang ships were built tall and mighty, like a moving tower, and were connected by iron cables. It is rumored that King Chu Xiang once carried a glass of wine across the decks of more than a dozen ships, and did not spill a drop of wine. The stability of Jingxiang's ships can be seen from this.

Around the building boat, there are often people who are good at water cruising and diving in order to be scouts in the water and detect accidents.

Yunmengze is so big, vast and thousands of miles, it is difficult to see it at a glance. Even if it is the majestic sailor of King Chu Xiang, in this magnificent wave, it seems a little small.

On the surface of the lake, thousands of sails crisscrossed and crossed, and most of them avoided the fleet here, lest there be an incident, and the famous prince was called to have fun, and his life was lost.

And just when King Chu Xiang was practicing in high spirits, a light boat actually came against the trend, and rushed straight towards his terrifying huge fleet without dodging.

"Who dares to break into my Jingxiang army formation!" the watchman roared and quickly conveyed the news.

And this news soon reached the ears of Zhao Heng, who was drinking happily in Xingzhile.

"Oh?" he narrowed, "It's kind of interesting, it seems to be some kind of self-righteous grandmaster master in the rivers and lakes." Summoning the order to go down, speed up, and we'll crash straight into it. ”

The entire fleet received the order, and suddenly opened its fangs like a fierce beast that was still hiding, and on the ship, Zhao Heng, the king of Chuxiang, sneered, and waved his big hand: "Rush!"

Unexpectedly, the light boat also accelerated suddenly, and the whole hull was like a sharp arrow cutting through the water, and it actually crashed towards the tall building boat in a jade and stone burning posture.

Of course, the burning of jade and stone is for a small boat, and in the eyes of Zhao Heng, the king of Chuxiang, this is no different from sending it to death.

In this world, there are people worthy of his Zhao Heng's jealousy, but today's Jingzhou boundary, hehe, there is really none.

Rao are you a prince or a martial arts master, in this way, he Zhao Heng will not move his brows.

Upstairs in Yueyang, the spectators looked at this sudden exciting scene, and they all exclaimed. For them, as long as it is eye-catching enough, no one will care about the outcome of the self-defeating light boat.

What's more, if he collided with King Chu Xiang like this, even if he was really a martial arts master in the rivers and lakes and was not killed, I am afraid that it would be difficult to survive afterwards.

In this world, although the rivers and lakes are vast and enjoyable, they are still too small compared to the absolute power of the government.

Chen Mingye looked at the scene on the lake, but he couldn't help frowning, and always felt that something seemed wrong.

Xiaohong blinked her eyes wide, looked at the scene on the lake in the distance with some puzzlement, and asked curiously, "Little junior brother, why is there no one on that boat?"

Nobody? Nobody! Nobody!

Chen Mingye was shocked, and the moment Xiaohong's voice came out, he already realized something in his heart.

It seems that there is really a good show to watch today.

And just when everyone was waiting to see the wonderful scene of the collision between the two sides on the lake, Zhao Heng's boat had already pressed over the light boat that was coming at a rapid speed, and the tooth-souring "creaking" sound only sounded for a moment, and then the whole boat was completely crushed, falling apart and shattering, and a few pieces of driftwood floated on the entire lake, but there was no human figure.

The expected master did not appear, and there was not even a little room for resistance, which made the spectators a little disappointed.

And at this moment, a sword light suddenly shone across the entire lake.

Chen Mingye squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Heng on the boat steadily, there was no doubt that there was only this one person pointed to by the sword light.

Zhao Heng's originally indifferent smile suddenly disappeared the moment the sword light lit up, and a touch of panic appeared on his fat round face.

"Assassins, there are assassins!" he reacted, shouting a little poignantly.

And his reaction was undoubtedly much, much slower than that sword light. By the time he spoke, the sword had already been handed in front of his eyes.

There seemed to be a touch of blood in his eyes, Zhao Heng, the king of Chuxiang, was pale and bloodless, facing the rushing sword, the whole person subconsciously rolled on the spot, embarrassed and wanted to dodge this sharp sword, but the sharpness of the sword was just a face, but it was a terrible wound in his chest.

The blood from the wound burst out, and King Chu Xiang's brocade robe was stained red with blood in an instant.

The one who came with the sword was unforgiving, the sword momentum continued, this sword stabbed out, Zhao Heng had no possibility of dodging, Zhao Heng looked at the long sword that stabbed straight at him, his eyes were full of despair.

At this critical moment, a spear in the oblique stab stabbed at a sudden point, and it happened to be the first to block that bit of sword momentum.

"Huh?" The assassin let out a light sigh, but he didn't care about the gun, one turned sideways, dodged the sweeping gun, and the sword in his hand did not decrease in the slightest, and stabbed towards Zhao Heng again.

"Hmph, it's really crazy to ignore my gun. An old voice rang out, and at the same time a sturdy figure swooped out, spear in hand, once again blocking the Assassin's sword.

"That's a lot of nonsense. The assassin squinted, knowing that it was impossible to kill Zhao Heng in front of this old man today, the long sword in his hand stirred, and the body of the gun was swinged, and the whole figure flashed, and there was no trace.

"Good boy, don't run if you have the guts!" the old man with the gun roared angrily, but he still stayed by Zhao Heng's side and did not leave, but just ordered his soldiers to chase after the assassin.

Zhao Heng looked at the old man standing in front of him and smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Bai." ”

"Lord Wang is polite," the old man hurriedly came over to support Zhao Heng, "Lord Wang, how is your injury?"

"It's okay, I can't die. Zhao Heng's face was still pale, but a faint light flashed in his eyes.

"Doctor, go and call all the doctors on the ship!" The few attendants who were originally frightened came back to their senses, and for a while they all seemed to be in great panic, and they shouted higher than anyone else.

Zhao Heng glanced around, his eyes were deep and silent.

On the Yueyang Tower, the people who were originally waiting to see the excitement seemed to be frightened, and the moment the assassin appeared, the entire Yueyang Tower was silent.

And above Yun Mengze, the loud noise and shouts became louder and louder.

At this moment, seeing that the assassin had already run away, the towering ship was still in a mess, everyone was shouting to catch the assassin, and everyone was carefully guarding, just afraid that they would suddenly appear in their own deep whiteness at this moment. The originally seemingly majestic and invincible sailor ran around as if it had no backbone, which was really embarrassing to the extreme.

Chen Mingye watched everything silently, and couldn't help but stroke his palm and smile softly: "Okay, good." ”

Xiaohong glanced at him inexplicably: "Little junior brother, what are you talking about?"

"I mean, this King of Chu Xiang is really a big deal. Chen Mingye narrowed his narrow eyes and said with a smile.

"Are you saying his ship is so big?" said Red, gesturing with her hand.

Chen Mingye couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "I mean, his handwriting is so big. ”

Xiaohong glanced at him in a daze, and pouted, "Little junior brother, that old man in a white robe is very powerful." ”

Chen Mingye was a little surprised: "How powerful is he?"

"Hee-hee, it's much better than you anyway. Little Red stuck out her little tongue at him.

"You little girl," Chen Mingye said helplessly, and then asked, "That assassin, did Xiaohong see it clearly?"

"Assassin?" Xiaohong tilted her head, as if thinking, before she said after a moment, "He seems to be very powerful, but he doesn't seem to be powerful." ”

Chen Mingye's brows furrowed slightly: "What does this mean?"

"Hee-hee, that's what Xiaohong thinks. The little girl scratched her little head rarely, and seemed to feel a little confused.

Chen Mingye smiled: "Okay, I watched a lot of excitement early in the morning, it's time to eat something to fill my stomach." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiaohong nodded vigorously in approval.

Chen Mingye looked at her little face, laughed, and said happily: "Little Er, serve!"
