The horizon is only white, the white clouds came to the bow of the ship, at this time the sailboat has sailed out of the Nucang Gorge boundary, last night encountered the surprise attack of the water system Xuanjia, back to the boat room after repeated tossing and turning can not sleep, in addition to the faint restlessness, in fact, it is more of Dou Chang'an's desolate sword belt of the shocking aftertaste, and then to the fifth watch, only to fall asleep in a daze, in the half-asleep and half-awake and heard the servants on the ship running back and forth, tossing out of the noisy sound like a horse's hooves hitting the ground, he was afraid that the water armor turned back to sneak attack, hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out of the deck, but found that the plain robe boy and the purple-clothed maid leaned on the bow of the boat, like two wooden stakes sluggish, Long Haotian only nodded slightly after seeing Bai Yun, his expression was pale and ugly, which was very different from the interest of the past, and the servants hurriedly unloaded the sails to slow down the speed of the sailboat, Bai Yun couldn't help but be puzzled, looked up at the river in front of him, and suddenly his face was like dead ash, and his eyes were like ink-stained glass, and he lost his original brilliance.

On the river two hundred zhang away, a ship that was about the same size as the sailboat at the foot of Baiyun collapsed on the river, one side of the ship had sunk to the bottom of the river, and the other side was also slowly sinking.

The sail was lowered slowly, and Long Haotian said in a deep voice: "It probably touched the reef under the river and caused the shipwreck." ”

At this time, the middle-aged man with a bun of balls in his bun also walked out of the deck, probably a servant tossing back and forth, disturbing his sweet dreams, chattering and scolding as he walked, but when he saw the wreck of the capsized ship in front of him, his eyes suddenly expanded, and Thunder said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you go to save people?"

With that, Dou Chang'an's eagle vulture flapped its wings and leaned out, trampled across the turbulent river, and swept towards the wreck of the river full of corpses.

Dou Changan's angry rebuke was like a blow to the head, and Bai Yun recovered his chaotic mind, but Dou Changan floated to the sunken ship in a blink of an eye, he stepped on a board and did not see any movement, Bai Yun's heart sank suddenly, guessing that none of the passengers on the ship were spared.

The sailboat moved slowly along the current after unloading the sails, and after approaching the wreck, the faces of the three people standing on the deck changed abruptly, and the floating corpses of the river floated along the river, and some servants with poor temperament held on to the railing and vomited.

The reason why the Yangtze River is called an insurmountable natural danger is not only that the water is turbulent, but also that the river surface is extremely open, and the north and south banks cannot be seen, and the sailing ships are like a flat boat in the Yangtze River.

Dou Changan walked from the railing on the side of the ship to the stern, suddenly frowned, and the whole person squatted down, as if he had found something Ni Duan, the position where the wreck hit the reef pierced a big hole, but it stands to reason that after hitting the reef, the bottom of the ship collided violently with the reef, and the gap should be uneven, but this gap was particularly smooth, as if it was drilled out by something.

Bai Yun and Long Haotian had no bad eyesight, and they noticed this place almost at the same time.

The waters where the wreck is located, the current is very fast, but there is no huge undercurrent enough to kill, let alone a reef that can cause a huge sailing ship to run into the reef and sink, which proves everyone's proof

It is speculated that the ship did not sink by accident due to a rocking, but someone deliberately did it.

Dou Changan stroked the hole in the stern of the boat, his face was gloomy, and then he swept back to the boat on tiptoe, and said in an affirmative tone: "It's the sin made by the water system Xuanjia." ”

Bai Yun's fists clenched and gurgled: "This is the life of the whole ship." ”

Long Haotian's gaze flew across the river, trying to find clues, but the next moment, his pupils contracted suddenly, and a bright yellow silk cloth bag embroidered with clouds and cranes flying came into view.

Long Haotian and the purple-clothed maid glanced at each other, the purple-clothed heart understood, the brocade sleeves brushed the dust like Qiaoyan falling on the river, and took advantage of the situation to pick up the silk cloth bag with the pair of Qianqianyu hands.

The superior Ming yellow silk is the royal cloth, the official position of the beam is set up in the civil and military official system, the complement pattern on the official uniform is the birds and beasts of heaven and earth, there is a difference between the different levels of official uniforms, the civil official is the bird, the first product embroidered cloud crane, the second product embroidered brocade chicken,

The third grade embroidered cloud goose, the fifth grade embroidered white pheasant, the sixth grade embroidered heron, the seventh grade embroidered mandarin duck, the eighth grade embroidered yellow oriole, and the ninth grade embroidered quail. The military attache is a swift beast, the first and second products are painted with unicorns, the third products are painted with tigers, the fourth products are painted with swift leopards, the fifth products are painted with bears, the sixth products are painted with biao, the seventh and eighth products are painted with rhinoceros, and the ninth products are painted with seahorses.

The crane crying and flying is a symbol of a product of civil officials, and there are very few people in the Liang temple to the first grade, a product of civil officials such as the military department of Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites and so on are all powerful ministers, although slightly inferior to the vassal king who broke the soil and sealed the king, but the trip should have an official ship to send a stomach guard, but throughout the river floating corpses but no one is seen wearing a product of the official mansion, this gradually sinking at the bottom of the river is just an ordinary merchant ship, not to see the owner of this silk cloth bag at all.

The purple clothes stepped on the river as if they were walking on the ground, and the dragonfly scooped up the cloth bag and swept back to the bow deck, carefully draining the stagnant water, and handed the cloth bag to the plain robed boy.

The boy in the plain robe immediately took over this cloth bag with an intriguing origin, probably because of the soaking, and it was quite heavy to start with a few catties and taels, but after weighing it, he found that there was something inside.

Bai Yun and Dou Changan approached in unison.

Long Haotian opened the cloth bag to find out, and it turned out to be a majestic tiger gold seal.

A tiger talisman that can mobilize thousands of troops!

For some reason, Dou Changan squinted at the plain-robed boy, his face was like black charcoal, and he snorted coldly and returned to the cabin.

Long Haotian's face did not change, but a tsunami was set off in his heart, and with a twist of his wrist, he turned over the tiger gold seal, and the three characters of the Beifu Army engraved at the bottom of the gold seal were like thunder.

Although Bai Yun was curious about what the golden seal was, he thought that it was probably a relic of the shipwrecked passengers, but the golden light was very rare, and his thoughts returned to the water armor from the Qianjiang River, and he still couldn't figure out why it attacked a passenger ship for no reason, so he also turned back to the boat room to ask Dou Changan for clarification.

The plain-robed boy took a deep breath and used his fingers to go back and forth the three characters of the Beifu Army carved at the bottom of the gold seal, thoughtfully.

The Beifu army is the elite armor that the imperial court placed in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the only army that exists in the south of the Yangtze River independent of King Wu

The first emperor of the Liang was born in Jiangnan, and after his death, his soul returned to his hometown and was buried in the Jiangnan Imperial Mausoleum, so this Beifu soldier has been stationed in Jiangnan on the grounds of guarding the Imperial Mausoleum, but now this Beifu army has a new look, and the number has been reduced from 30,000 to 5,000 people, but the strength is still not to be underestimated, claiming to be able to level 50,000 Daliao Iron Cavalry with 5,000 armor soldiers, and every soldier can be called the elite of one enemy and ten.

The side of the bed can not allow others to sleep soundly, where can King Wu tolerate this nail straight behind the back, since the domain of Jiangnan, many times want to remove this nail in the hinterland of the Jiangnan, but can not find a suitable reason, before the face has not been torn with the imperial court, every move has to be strategized, although the fertile soil of Jiangnan has the right time and place and the first opportunity, but if you rashly pull out this nail inserted into the heart, it will only hurt the muscles and bones and outweigh the losses, so that the situation will turn sharply and be on the passive side, so King Wu can only take a palliative but not a cure, and lay a net around the Beifu army stationed in only a few thousand, overwhelming several times the force surrounded the claws, cut off all the connection between the Beifu army and the outside world, and the imperial court's decree could not enter the barracks at all, so that the Beifu army, which was victorious like a tiger and a leopard, became a vase on the front table.

The prince of the plain robe spat out a breath of turbidity for no reason, and for the matter of the prince in the middle of the dynasty, the Chinese military officials were divided into two factions, one faction was inclined to personally lead the troops to the north to reject the second prince of Daliao, and the other faction was inclined to himself as the eldest son, and Fang Xuanling, the minister of power leaning towards the government and the opposition, had the same opinion as the uncle who was now in Jiangnan, and was more inclined to his own side for the crown prince. When there are only two people who can mobilize the Beifu army today, except for his high-ranking father, who is the powerful Fang Xuanling Fang Dacheng Minister, so far his father has never revealed a word for the establishment of the crown prince, and he also turned a blind eye to the dispute between the eldest prince and the second prince, in the eyes of the high dragon chair, there is no eldest son at all, and the capable live in it, not to mention that now the beam is flowing underneath, and there is a need for a successor who can level the world instead of guarding the world.

The prince of the plain robe understands better than anyone else that as one of the candidates for the prince to inherit the unification, once he sets foot in Jiangnan, it is bound to be extremely dangerous, this soldier must be Fang Xuanling secretly sent someone to the Beifu military camp, wanting to secretly mobilize the five thousand Beifu soldiers stationed in Jiangnan to protect him, but the spy network centered on Wu Wangfu is intertwined and complicated, Fang Xuanling's move is really helpless, knowing that it is not feasible but not doing it.

Long Haotian looked at the floating corpses in the river and sighed.

——————

The sailboat went straight down the river for thirty or forty miles, the river finally became lively, the fishing boats and pleasure boats were all over the place, Bai Yun leaned on Gou Yan and was stunned, he had just gone to find Dou Chang'an before, and wanted to ask the purpose of the water armor attacking the passenger ship, but Dou Chang'an changed his mouth and said that he was old and dizzy, and the reason for the sinking of the ship was not related to the water armor without a single hair, which made Bai Yun more and more confused, and it was useless to think about it, so he had to put this question aside for the time being.

A riverside town called Nanxun came into view,

The sky dome also has a drizzle at the right time, the mountains and rivers are empty, and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is authentic.

The purple-clothed maidservant instructed the servants to close the sails and dock.

The sailboat anchored at the ferry port of the town, Bai Yun and the others held up the oil umbrella and disembarked together, the purple-clothed maid and the servant did not know what to tell before disembarking, and the huge and luxurious sailing ship immediately returned to Xiangyang.

This is a small town located on the edge of Yangzhou's boundary, some distance from the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, but the soft water-like Jiangnan atmosphere is like splashing ink landscapes to show up, even the white clouds who do not belong to the gods can't help but secretly marvel, Jiangnan is worthy of being a good place in the world, even such a remote town is so lively, it is really an eye-opener.

Walking in the town, the crowd is like weaving, although the town is far less than Xiangyang, but it is a unique charm, everyone found a restaurant to sit down, want to inquire about the road conditions around the town, see the shop on the sixth road with an old rag on his shoulder, smile brightly, with his experience these unfamiliar foreign tourists, most of them want to inquire about the news around the town, and the silver reward is indispensable to serve well.

Xiao Er hunched his waist and said, "What do you want to eat?"
