(I found that the explanation in the previous chapter was a bit lengthy and affected the reader's perception, so I deleted it.) ）

After walking for a few days in the barren mountains and mountains, and now turning to the official road, I have a sudden feeling when I see people coming and going.

Chen Tang immediately inquired about it, and quickly figured out that his current location was a county government under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou, called "Shuidong Mansion". The origin of the name of this place is because it relies on a big river, Haohao Tangtang, which is one of the few rivers in the world: Zhushui.

Going up the river, you can enter Qinzhou.

Hearing this news, Chen Tang was overjoyed, if he could take the waterway, the speed would be much faster.

"You're going to Qinzhou? I've heard that it's already in chaos there, and it's not very peaceful. ”

The man kindly reminded him.

Qinzhou, sure enough, is also in chaos. I don't know if Yan Huandan and they can return to their hometown safely, with a big beard, there shouldn't be any problems.

Chen Tang thanked him and began to think about whether to continue to walk on land or change the waterway. Shuidong Mansion is not easy to enter, the identity is sensitive, and there is no road guide document, in case of cross-examination, it is easy to be exposed.

Although I don't know if the documents for his arrest have been passed here, it never hurts to be cautious. The soldiers and horses on the side of Nanfu County have been completely thrown off, but if they show their whereabouts here, it will be tantamount to abandoning their previous efforts.

Now Chen Tang has changed his face, but the rouge horse is easy to attract attention. Some time ago, Chen Tang communicated with him and asked if he could hide the color of his fur, and Rouge Ma responded. The charcoal-like appearance became a little duller, and it returned to its original jujube red. Although the main body is still a red horse, it doesn't look so handsome after all.

However, in any case, in this world, a scholar on a horse will attract the attention of others.

Chen Tang didn't go into the city, and he wouldn't stay here for long, so after learning about the situation and replenishing some daily necessities, he had to leave.

Compared with other states and counties, although Ningzhou has also undergone changes, on the whole, the order is relatively stable. At least so far, there has been no chaos or strife. It is estimated that it is related to Yang Linhe's wrist and can suppress the scene.

After thinking about it, Chen Tang still decided to find a big boat to go. The speed is fast, and it can effectively avoid the encirclement and interception of Yang Linhe. Yang Zichu is Yang Linhe's proud son, and it is likely that he was cultivated in front of his successor, and now that he is dead, Yang Linhe's anger can be imagined. will definitely arrest Chen Tang at any cost, break his body into thousands of pieces, and help his son avenge his hatred.

There is no doubt about the ability of a Grand Commander, and when he mobilizes all his channel contacts, he will soon be able to pull up a huge net.

Therefore, the wisest thing to do at the moment is to jump out of the circle of Ningzhou as soon as possible and enter other states. In that case, it will be a different world, and it will seem much more relaxed.

So, Chen Tang asked the path again and rode to the nearest dock.

Since ancient times, there is a saying that the mountains eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, and the Shuidong Mansion is adjacent to the water, the waterways are developed, and the fishery and ship industries are prosperous. Along the river, there are no less than dozens of large and small wharves along the way.

Outside this Shuidong Mansion, because it is close to the county government, the wharf has its own scale. It covers a large area, and naturally, it becomes a bazaar. Sometimes, it's even a little more lively than in the city.

At noon, Chen Tang rode into the dock market. A strong fishy smell and a loud noise were heard from afar.

In this world, meat is a luxury, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are not very productive, not to mention cattle and horses. In comparison, fish are actually more abundant. Fishing in the water is often much more abundant than hunting in the mountains. In the land of big rivers, a net can be heavy, and a lot of fish and shrimp can be caught, and then transported to the shore to sell.

In Panzhou, it also relies on a river, but it can only be regarded as a small river, and it is completely incomparable with this river.

Chen Tang rode his horse and walked slowly, in the noisy street market. After walking for a while, I was attracted by the strong smell of fish, and immediately went over and found a restaurant.

"Childe, what do you want to eat?"

A fellow greeted sharply.

"What's delicious?"

"Chopped pepper fish head, tofu fish head, grilled fish and fried fish, as well as shrimp and crab ......"

The guy reported more than a dozen dish names in one go, all of which were aquatic products.

Chen Tang ordered three signature dishes and tried them. For the past few days, I spent the most days in the mountains and forests, and the conditions were limited, so I could only eat barbecue every day. Although it is also delicious, if you eat too much, you will inevitably get tired and you will not even be able to drink a good soup.

Now when you go outside, the more delicious you get, you can't let it go. Just had a full stomach, and then took a boat to Qinzhou.

After waiting for a while, the first fish soup was served, and it was really rich and aromatic. Some emerald green leaves were added to it to remove the fishy smell.

The fragrance caused the rouge horse tied outside to probe his brain frequently and look at it.

However, under such circumstances, it is not easy to give it food, and it is too shocking to the world. Therefore, I can only grieve him.

Chen Tang was hungry and immediately started eating.

The weather is cold, and eating hot and spicy fish soup is really a great treat. At the end of the checkout, the money needed was much cheaper than expected, and it was a great value.

After eating and drinking, when he went to lead the horse, Rouge snorted rather resentfully.

Chen Tang patted the horse's head and said with a smile: "Next time, please eat better." ”

The mare was still very coaxing, and soon went away obediently.

When they came to the water's edge, they saw that this place was near the water, and they built a flat land and stretched out. There are quite a few boats moored outside, large and small. There are fishing boats, merchant ships, and some painting boats.

The docks are quite busy, with people coming and going. Some are shouting, some are carrying, and there are also many traveling merchants like Chen Tang who want to come to take a boat.

Chen Tang's eyes swept away, and he habitually had to observe for a while first, and then inquire if there was a big ship going to Qinzhou.

After looking at it for a while, his eyes suddenly froze and he found something.

A few feet away on the right, there was a little girl about seven or eight years old, standing stupidly. A pair of dark eyes sparkled, turning his head from time to time to look, as if he was looking for it, and seemed to be startled by the bustling people, not knowing what to do.

Is this a child who has been separated from his family?

Chen Tang was stunned, the bigger problem was that this woman was well-dressed and quite luxurious. On the neck, there is also a pair of golden collars, which are worth a lot of money. Let people see, inexplicably hot.

Her jet-black hair was tied into two pigtails, and she was holding an object in her hand, vaguely a puppet toy. Standing there, it doesn't fit in with the bustle of the whole dock.

Seeing this, Chen Tang sighed, and suddenly remembered an allusion: a three-year-old child who crossed the market with gold.

Sure enough, soon, he noticed that there were two or three bad-looking men around him, intentionally or unintentionally, surrounding the little girl......
