The moonlight is evenly sprinkled on the surface of the river, which is one of the branches of the Huaishui River that traverses half of the Jinju continent, crossing the Southern Jin Kingdom, Yanping Kingdom, and entering the endless sea through the Nanning Kingdom.

The watershed river flows through the three countries, is the only waterway that can connect the three countries, and this river is not only deep, but also the water flow is slow, there is no wind and waves, and because it is a branch of the Huaishui River, it can also lead to the upstream country through this river, so it has become the main commercial road, and the commercial busy time is the freight and trade ships come and go continuously, although it is the off-season for commercial transportation, but there are still ships passing by from time to time.

At this time, there is a tall merchant ship slowly driving on the river, the boat is more than two zhang high, about two zhang wide, the hull is more than ten zhang long, the ship is brightly lit, and the upper floor is also beautifully decorated, at first glance it is not what ordinary people can have, and the people on the boat must be either rich or expensive.

At this time, the sentry standing on the deck and watching vaguely saw something floating on the river in the moonlight, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a person, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive, so he immediately reported it to the person in charge of the ship. At this time, there was a very beautiful woman sitting in the boat, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and behind her stood two women dressed as maids, who were holding a paper book in their hands and studying carefully under the light.

"Miss, the next person came to report, a drowning person was found on the river, life and death are uncertain, I have come to report it, please ask Miss to instruct how to deal with it" When the woman was reading a book and fell into a trance, the steward outside the boat came to report.

When the woman heard this, she put down the book in her hand, looked at the steward outside the door, and said, "God has the virtue of a good life, since you have met him, how can you turn a blind eye, take him up and take a look, if he can still save people, he will be healed, if he is already dead, he will be handed over to the government at the next dock."

"Yes," the steward took the order, and soon returned. "Miss, this person is a young man, and his body still has a faint breath, but he is seriously injured and has been soaked in water for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to treat. ”

"He was seriously injured and fell into the water but did not die, and he met us here, and it seems that he is also a person with an endless destiny, so he may be able to identify this person?"

"Miss Hui, there is nothing on this person that can indicate anything, but this person is wearing a Taoist robe, and it is estimated that he should be a Taoist priest. ”

"Even if it is a Taoist person, it must not be a person with an evil heart, arrange people to live and try their best to save them, as for the result, do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven!"

"Yes, the old slave will go down and arrange" The steward retired again, and the woman in the house glanced at the moonlight outside the window, and continued to look at the book in her hand.

The rescued teenager was naturally swept by the current after jumping off the cliff and falling into the water, and several hours had passed from the time he entered the water to the time he was rescued. To be able to survive in such a desperate situation, it is also considered that fate should not be extinguished, and this encounter with Linfeng has to make people sigh, and the way of fate is really difficult to guess.

A month later, Linfeng, dressed in old clothes, stood on the stern deck and looked in the direction of Nanning Guo, his heart full of hesitation.

Five days ago, when he woke up again, he learned that he had been rescued, and after some inquiry, he learned that he was already in the territory of the Southern Jin Kingdom, and there was a Yanping Kingdom between the Southern Jin Kingdom and the Nanning Kingdom, and the two countries were separated by more than 10,000 miles.

I don't know how anxious Master they should be when they find out that they are missing, Master, they must be looking for themselves everywhere, they have disappeared for so long, Master, they have also been worried for so long, Master is not in good health, this time they must lose a lot of weight, I don't know if the senior brother and the little junior sister can coax the master, it's been a month, the second senior brother should have returned to Xiaoyangfeng, and the second senior brother is also worried.

After I woke up, I wanted to go back immediately, but my body was really weak, so I had to recuperate for two days, and when my body was able to stand up, I went to meet the owner of this room, Miss Mei Lin, first, to thank him for saving his life, and second, to say goodbye to him. However, he was persuaded by Mei Lin's words, asking him to take care of his body and leave after a thorough recovery, even if you walk like this now, you can't go far, don't die halfway when the time comes, waste her decoction, and say that when he recovers from his injuries, he will drive him away even if he doesn't leave.

Linfeng had no choice but to obey his fate, mainly because what the other party said also made sense, this long journey, if you don't take care of your body, you really can't go far, and you have been missing for so long, and you don't have to rush these few days, so you can stay on the boat to recuperate with peace of mind. At the same time, Linfeng also found a feeling of sister to brother in Mei Lin, and every time she went to her, she always felt like a little brother.

The boat is still moving gently, and the wind standing at the stern of the boat and the place in my heart are constantly pulling apart. It seems to remind the distant wind that there is no going back!

"Brother Feng, why are you standing up again, the wind is cold on this river, your body is not well, but the wind can't blow, hurry up and come in and rest" A white-headed old man in black plain clothes leaned his back and poked his head out from behind and shouted.

"Eh, I know, I'll go back inside, thank you Grandpa Sun" Lin Feng heard the old man's words and turned around and walked slowly towards his lounge in the cabin.

This old man's name is Sun Mao, he is the doctor on this ship, the first thing Lin Feng sees when he wakes up here is him, knowing that if it were not for the careful treatment of the old man surnamed Sun for nearly a month, he is very likely to not wake up, so he is full of gratitude to this old man, and has always called him Grandpa Sun.

And the captain of the ship, Miss Mei Lin, is the eldest daughter of Jia Mei, a great merchant of the Southern Jin Dynasty, sixteen years old, only two years older than Linfeng, but very capable, in charge of many important businesses in the family, this trip to Nanning is also to participate in the exchange meeting between the three great merchants, listen to the rumors of other people on the ship, in previous years, this kind of exchange meeting was his father Mei Sheng personally went, this time it did change to his own lady to show up, but this matter is related to the internal affairs of the family, Linfeng an outsider is not good to explore too much.

On that day, after the lunch break, everyone on the boat began to be busy again, and there was a crowded pier not far ahead. Sun Mao, who was beside Linfeng, said on the side, "Brother Feng, you will go to Huai'an Wharf in front, and when you get to the wharf, it is Huai'an City, which is the most prosperous place on this road." Most of the people of the Three Kingdoms will stay here for recreation, after this Huai'an wharf, this watershed river will come to an end, and then go further is the Huaishui River"

Lin Feng naturally knew that although he couldn't practice when he was in Qingyang Sect, there were many books in Qingyang Sect, in addition to the books in the cultivation exercises, there were also many books that introduced the geography and wonders of the world. Among the "Chronicles of the Watershed" that I have read, there is an introduction to this Huai'an City.

Immediately said to Sun Mao, "Grandpa Sun, the kid has read in the book about the introduction of this Huai'an City, Huai'an, the head of the water, close to the Huaishui River, backed by the Luoshen Mountain. In charge of the trade of the three countries, the control of the downstream shipping, located in the key rush, prosperous to the prosperous, there was a poem "the old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the West, and the fireworks entered Huai'an in March."

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is exhausted, but the Huaishui sky is flowing. "Because of its prosperity, it is called Huaijing"

"Hehe, I can't imagine that Brother Feng has this knowledge, this Huai'an is famous all over the world, and even faintly covers the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the old man also forgot to return here when he was young, and he is already in the twilight of old age when he comes here, his life is short but a hundred years, and the good years are like a white horse!

"The boy is young, and he has been practicing with his master since he can remember, and this time he entered the world for the first time because he was injured by a tiger when he went into the mountains to hunt, so he has never been there!

Over the past thousands of years, there have been great supernatural powers in heaven and earth, flying to the sky, picking stars and taking the moon, omnipotent, and the creatures in the world are called gods. After thousands of years, there are gods fighting each other and nine days, the power of the battle spreads to the world, a divine light splits the earth, the earth is divided, and there is Huai Shui. After several days of fierce fighting, a god fell and fell into the world, and the earth cracked and uplifted, and the place where it rose was the mountain of the fallen god, and the place where it was cracked was the division of water. ”

"What the little brother said is right, this is the explanation of the origin of the falling god mountain, but it is incredible, is there really such a supernatural person in the world? It's rare to come here, do you want to go to this Huai'an city for a walk, and it's good to go to Luoshen Mountain to see the scenery."

"I want to go, but my physical condition doesn't allow it, and it won't take long to buy supplies, and I don't have the time."

"Haha! Little brother, you don't know yet, I just got the news, Miss still has important things to deal with in Huai'an this time, it is estimated that she will stay here for more than ten days, as for what is the matter, I don't know, Miss obviously has a plan, all the way to keep it secret, only to arrive at this Huai'an dock to inform everyone. It's enough for such a long time for the little brother to take care of his body and then go to this Huai'an City and Luoshen Mountain," Sun Mao said with a smile on his face, looking at Linfeng with a smile.

"That's the case, I don't need this trip, Grandpa Sun will boil me some more medicine, I want to recover as soon as possible" Lin Feng looked at Sun Mao, who was smiling, and said with a look of hope

"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll boil it for you" Sun Mao only thought that Linfeng wanted to go to Huai'an City as soon as possible, but what Linfeng wanted was to quickly recover his body and go back to report his safety to the master, and then come back to find a chance to repay the Mei family's rescue.

At this time, the boat has docked and stopped, except for a few people on the boat, everyone else has disembarked one after another, Linfeng stood on the edge of the boat with one hand holding the red fence, looking at the people who followed behind Mei Lin, only to see that they did not go far to usher in more than ten people, this line was led by an old man, and after seeing Mei Lin, they all bowed respectfully from afar

"The old slave has seen the young lady, and he is late to greet him, and I hope that the young lady will forgive the sins!" said the old man standing at the front, and everyone in the back also said, "I have seen the young lady"

"Get up, I'm in a hurry on this trip, and I haven't told you in advance, what a crime! Shopkeeper Li doesn't need to be like this, this place is not a place to talk, if there is anything to say, let's go to the trading house to talk about it" Mei Lin said that she should go first, and the shopkeeper Li immediately followed to guide her.

Mei's firm, in the conference room, Mei Lin sat upright, while the shopkeeper Li was working on the side below, and the two maids beside Mei Lin stood outside the door

"Miss, this time the Hong family is menacing, according to the news that the old slave knows, the Hong family has contacted the Chen family, the Cai family, and the Li family, and several families have joined forces to take away the dock controlled by our Mei family.

If this matter really allows them to succeed and lose control of the wharf, the goods in and out of our entire trading house in Huai'an will inevitably be controlled by several companies, and sooner or later they will be squeezed out of Huai'an, and the loss of Huai'an, the upstream wharf, will also affect the business of the three downstream countries of the Mei family.

The old man was seriously ill and in bed, so he just sent a message to inform the old slave that this time it was all up to the young lady's orders. After Shopkeeper Li reported the situation in Huai'an City one by one, Mei Lin looked at Mei Lin and waited for instructions

"The four of them dare to do this at this time, it must be because they already know that my father is seriously ill that they dare to be so unscrupulous! My Mei family has been in the three countries for more than 100 years, and it has been passed down for several generations. After Mei Lin finished speaking, her eyes showed a fierce look.

"What Miss said is, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend people, since the other party has already done it, it's time for us to return the color. It's just that since they dare to make a move, they must also rely on it, if we make a rash move, it is very likely that we will fall into their trap, so the old slave suggests that it is not appropriate to act rashly before finding out the opponent's hole cards. ”

Shopkeeper Li This is an old saying, Mei Lin nodded after listening to it and said, "Shopkeeper Li's analysis is very reasonable, but at the moment, my Mei's firm has been jointly suppressed by several companies, and it is a heavy loss every day, this matter must be solved as soon as possible, and we have no reason to sit idly by." If you want to know the other party's hole cards, you must have some temptation, Li shopkeeper has been in charge of the firm for many years, I don't know what advice you have?"

After listening to the shopkeeper Li, he knew that Miss was going to weigh his ability, and after a little thought, he said, "If you only do a temptation, Miss might as well talk to the Li family first, the Li family has the weakest foundation in Huai'an, even if several families join forces to squeeze out the Mei family, when it comes time to share the benefits, the Li family's right to speak is also the weakest, and it is not good to follow in the footsteps of the Mei family, so the Li family will be the biggest flaw among the several families. ”

Mei Lin listened to the words of the shopkeeper Li, and showed a look of approval, "The shopkeeper Li is worthy of being the person that my father likes the most. I will act according to the words of the shopkeeper, and I will visit the Li family tomorrow. There is also a need for a shopkeeper to sit in the firm. In Mei Lin's words, she unconsciously addressed the shopkeeper Li from shopkeeper Li to shopkeeper. The slight change between the words, how could Shopkeeper Li not perceive it, Shopkeeper Li knew that this was Miss's recognition of himself.

"It's all up to Miss Niang's arrangement," Shopkeeper Li immediately said.
