The sunset floats on the river, and the red sunset dyes the water of the river into an orange-red ribbon.

Two towering tall buildings float on the water. A three-story building, each of which is protected by a thick, sturdy three-foot-high female wall. The female wall is covered with arrow holes and spear holes, which are offensive and defensive, and can be fought from afar and close to attack.

These are two majestic building boats, like two giant beasts, prostrate on the water.

Before and after the two ships, there were all kinds of warships sprinkled on the wide water. The warships are divided into large wings, middle wings, and small wings, and the three-winged warships are arranged in rows, and they are distributed around the building ships in a regular manner like the stars and the moon.

Looking ahead, the Raiders lined up in a row, opening their way ahead.

In fact, as far as the eye can see, there are also brisk bridge boats flying away and scattering in front of them.

Compared to the two giant ships, these small and medium-sized warships are like sideburns accompanying the beastmaster's feet, and they are like floating beside the giant whale. However, they also contributed to ensuring the safe movement of the two ships.

One is called a jade rhino and the other is an iron ox. In front is the jade rhino, the jade rhino is richly decorated, majestic and luxurious. Behind is the Iron Bull, a true steel behemoth, born to fight.

The first layer of the jade rhino is called Lu, the second layer is called Feilu, and the third layer is called the Jue Room. And further up, there is the huge banner. The banner is painted with the symbol of the majesty of the Heng Day, announcing the majesty of the Heng Sun Emperor to the whole world. This is the palace of His Majesty the Emperor on his way south.

Bai Zhi stood on the periphery of the high lord's room, looking at the sunset and the long river. There was a person standing beside him, dressed in the rhinoceros armor of the despotism of the sailors, and this was the general of the building boat.

Bai Zhi asked, "General Niu doesn't seem to be interested in this trip?"

The general hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Don't hide it from the county lord, the last general doesn't understand His Majesty's move very much. ”

Bai Zhi asked, "Oh, what doesn't the general understand?"

General Lou Chuan pondered for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that the last general is a general who leads the army, and he can only act according to the king's orders, and he does not dare to speculate on his intentions. However, since the end of the army, there is a task, and it is necessary to understand it, so as to better achieve the purpose of the mission. County Lord, do you think the Admiral's move is wrong?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Of course, there is no mistake. This is what makes General Niu outstanding. The boss and the chief are not confused, it is precisely because of General Niu that he has taken a fancy to General Niu that has made General Niu rise to the top over the years. ”

General Niu said: "The last general is ignorant, thanks to the cultivation of His Majesty and the commanders. On this trip to the south, I felt honored to be selected to lead the army. ”

"Since the beginning of the journey, the last general has been conscientious and does not dare to make the slightest mistake. However, to tell the truth, to this day, the last general's heart is still confused. The last general is uneasy. ”

"There is His Majesty's royal drive on this trip, and the end will be like a precious jade on his head and a tightrope on his feet. The last general received the emperor's favor, came and went in the wind and rain, and never gave up. However, the task of the last general is small, and the dragon body is big. The last general is uneasy!"

When General Niu said this, he sighed three times and sighed, and two times in a row "uneasy", which shows that it is indeed a lot of pressure.

This can't be blamed on him, since the departure of the journey, His Majesty has not shown up, he just wants to report to His Majesty about the progress of the work or the trip, or ask His Majesty's opinion, but he can't do it at all. Even His Majesty's food and drink were all brought in and out by the eunuchs and palace maids brought out of the palace.

As the general of the escort army guarding the emperor's southern tour, he didn't even know anything about His Majesty's current situation. If you have questions and can't communicate with your boss, can you feel at ease?

Bai Zhi smiled: "General Niu doesn't need to be so anxious, if you have any doubts, just tell me." ”

In the entire Lou Boat, the whole army, and even His Majesty's personal guards, only Bai Zhi could enter His Majesty's palace. The palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied them were inside every day, but they could not come out. Therefore, only Bai Zhi can freely enter and exit to meet His Majesty.

When General Niu heard that Bai Zhi had taken the matter away, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and saluted, "Your Excellency ...... County Lord."

Bai Zhi raised his hand to stop him, and said, "On this trip, it is more appropriate for General Niu to call me Heavenly Master." ”

General Niu came to his senses and changed his words: "Master Heaven." ”

Bai Zhi nodded with a smile and said, "General Niu, if you have any doubts, just say it." ”

General Niu immediately poured bitter water and poured beans outward: "I explained the itinerary before, and it seems that this trip will go all the way to the southern regions? Why did Your Majesty suddenly want to tour the south? Since Your Majesty dispatched our Eastern Army Navy Division to escort you, why did you still bring one or two thousand forbidden troops? Many of the brothers in the forbidden army were seasick and vomited......

Bai Zhi interrupted: "Okay, okay, these are some inconsequential little things, General Niu doesn't care, just do a good job of guarding." ”

The Niu general hurriedly said, "No, no, no, there are still important ones." ”

I only heard that General Niu then poured out in a loud voice: "Such a new building ship is expensive, and we don't have one in the sailors." Just for a trip to the south, it is enough to build a building ship as a palace, why do you need to build two ships? In our Heng Day, and there is no danger of water thieves, it is enough to have a small fleet led by the flagship of the building ship to escort it, so why do you need such a large formation......

Bai Zhi was asked for a while.

Bai Zhi raised her hands and shouted, "Stop, General Niu, are these questions important?"

General Niu said earnestly: "Very important. If you don't figure it out, the Admiral really won't be able to correctly assess the threat of this trip!"

Bai Zhi said again and again: "Okay, okay, this way, I will go and relay these doubts of yours to Your Majesty now, as for whether Your Majesty is willing to reply to you, it is not up to me to decide." ”

The Niu general was immediately overjoyed, and saluted and thanked: "Then thank the county lord...... Oh no, thank you, Celestial Master!"

Bai Zhi waved her hand lightly and said, "You're welcome, I'll go and ask Your Majesty." ”

So saying, he walked towards the gate guarded by the Praetorian Army.

The gate of a small ship, guarded by six Praetorian Guards. Not to mention, there are two more doors inside.

Bai Zhi walked over there, and when the Praetorian Guard soldiers guarding the door saw that it was Bai Zhi, they didn't stop it. Bai Zhi pushed the door straight in.

General Niu kept looking at Bai Zhi's back as she entered the door until the door closed from the inside again. I couldn't see anything inside, and the general, who was known for his uprightness, was confused in his eyes at the moment.

Isn't it said that His Majesty is the closest courtier and the most approachable emperor today?

How long has it been since this journey?

He didn't hear it, Bai Zhi muttered after he entered: "It is worthy of the famous Tiehan Niu Niu Botao General." ”

This General Niu Botao is notoriously serious and upright, or it can be said, Han. He can learn the art of speaking tactfully, but he can't change the physiological structure of a single tendon in his brain after all.

In fact, he should have understood that what the emperor didn't tell him was that he didn't want him to know, or he didn't think he needed to know.

And he still insisted on wanting everything, because only in this way could he grasp the overall situation, accurately predict the danger ahead, and ensure that the emperor was foolproof.

And judging from the current situation......

His heart is uneasy!

And the same uneasy is Gao Ming next door.

Gao Ming is not on the jade rhino at the moment, he is on the iron bull.

Gao Ming couldn't figure it out, what was the situation?

First, his identity on the surface is the personal guard of Bai Zhi, the senior sister of the academy, and second, he also has an identity as the emperor's inner court guard.

The emperor's palace is the jade rhino, and Bai Zhi's duty as a celestial master is to guard the emperor, and he is also in the jade rhino. So why was he assigned to the Iron Bull?

Bai Zhi assigned him the task of protecting a noble man in the Iron Bull alone. However, before he could say anything clearly, he got on the boat and set off in a daze. What is this?

And what's even more painful is that how far has this gone? I haven't even seen my own protection target!

The noble man has never been out, and the food and drink are all delivered. No one had ever entered the door, not even a few people inside.

Gao Ming only knew that what he wanted to protect was the noble man in the door. And to this day, I haven't even entered that door.

So, what exactly do you want to protect?

I feel uneasy!

If Gao Ming and General Niu knew each other's situation, maybe the two of them would be able to learn something together. However, there is no if......
