Chapter 41: Strengthening the People by Force
At midnight, the hustle and bustle of Yangdu City is silent, except for the occasional flash of lights.
Hundreds of zhang in the sky, a black shadow fell diagonally to the southeast, and it was the three people of Fang Yuan who were hugging each other tightly.
If it was in his heyday, Fang Yuan wouldn't mind taking two people to catch up with him with the Aerial Technique, but now his situation was that he had more than enough heart and not enough strength, so he had to choose a means of transportation to leave Yangdu, and he finally chose a boat.
In his opinion, after the Ji family can't find him on Qingtian Peak, they will inevitably search and arrest the whole city, the space on the carriage is too small, and it is too difficult to hide three people, but the boat is different.
It may be because of the abundance of trees and tall trees in the Shenzhou World, the boats are very large, even on inland rivers such as the Yangshui River, tall building boats can often be seen, and Fang Yuan's target is precisely these building boats.
It is much easier for a large building ship to hide a few people, and the owners of those building ships are generally people with deep backgrounds, and even the officers and soldiers have to give a little thin face, and they rarely search these ships.
Soon, the figures of the three of Fang Yuan gently landed on a lighted boat, the reason why they chose this was because this boat was big enough and magnificent, and because there were people on this boat.
Boats sailing on inland rivers are generally equipped with both oars and sails, and when there is no wind or a bridge, the sails will be retracted, the mast will be lowered, and then the oars will be used to slide the ship forward, and the larger the boat, the more manpower will be needed to drive it.
If you want to leave Yangdu as soon as possible, it is best to set off immediately before the Praetorian Guards can react, so there must be someone on this ship, and he himself will not sail this kind of sailboat.
"Xiang'er, you're watching her here, I'll come when I go. Fang Yuan said to Xiang'er, and at the same time clicked on Qin Shu's acupoint, and then slipped into the cabin alone.
This building ship is tall and majestic on the outside, exquisite and luxurious on the inside, at first glance it is not owned by ordinary people, it is in line with Fang Yuan's requirements, after entering the cabin, he gently touched towards the cabin where the lights were on.
"It smells so good. Before he arrived at the cabin, Fang Yuan smelled a strange fragrance, and his originally weak and tired soul body actually felt a burst of comfort, and even his consciousness was much clearer.
"What kind of incense is this, so magical?" Fang Yuan's heart was surprised and delighted, and he came to a cabin full of fragrance, plain and elegant, which was also the cabin with lights on.
A girl in white is reading at night in the cabin, and there is a girl in yellow sitting next to the girl in white, but the girl in yellow has fallen asleep on the table, and the girl in white can't see clearly because she is facing Fang Yuan, but she is obviously a beauty.
Fang Yuan slipped into the cabin and shot a wisp of finger wind at the girl in yellow, pointing at her sleeping hole.
The girl in white seemed to have all her attention on the scroll in her hand, unaware of Fang Yuan's arrival and movements, until a wisp of finger wind pointed at her dumb hole, and she reached out blankly to touch the position of her dumb hole.
"Don't move, I'll kill you again!" Fang Yuan lightly landed behind the girl in white and grabbed her shoulder point, only then did he threaten the voice.
The reason why he was so careful was because Fang Yuan had already swept the entire boat with his divine sense when he got on the boat, and found that there were actually many masters on this boat, although only one had barely reached the Grandmaster level, but at this time, his situation was that more things were better than less, and it was better not to fight without fighting with others.
The girl in white shook her delicate body, and she turned her head to look behind her, but a heart-piercing pain suddenly came from her shoulder, stopping her movements, and at the same time, a cold voice came from her ear: "Tell you not to move!"
The girl in white had never suffered such pain, even if she wanted to open her mouth to exclaim, but unfortunately her open ruddy mouth couldn't make any sound, but her body instinctively curled up and trembled.
Fang Yuan only realized at this time that there was not the slightest internal force in this woman's body, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "There are still people who don't practice any kung fu in these years?" and then the strength in his hand was also withdrawn by half.
Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, it has set up a policy of governing the country by force, strengthening the people by force, and leveling the country by force, among which the people are strong by force, that is, to teach and encourage the people to learn martial arts, in addition to some large weapons, the people not only do not ban swords, and even the imperial court also encourages the people to manufacture and hold swords, in order to truly achieve the people's eternal power and Yongchang.
Although there are many problems caused by this to strengthen the people with force, whether it is ordinary people or the children of official eunuchs, they have a strong body, and the people who are armed with swords and martial arts, whether they are facing unscrupulous official eunuchs and squires, or facing bloodthirsty and cruel northern barbarians, or fierce beasts in the mountains and wilderness, are no longer lambs to be slaughtered.
In the past, the people could only pray to the heavens for the emperor's sage, the lord was generous, the barbarians were merciful, and the days of mercy under the mouth of the beasts were gone, although their minions were not very sharp, and their bodies were not very strong, but after all, they had the strength to fight back, and in the eyes of the superiors, they were no longer ants.
After hundreds of years of implementation, everyone in the world has long practiced martial arts, everyone holds a sword, even if it is a farmer, the worst will practice a few hands of the dealer's style, and in the rich family, even if the children's physique is not suitable for martial arts, with the assistance of the elixir, they will practice a ten-year or eight-year internal force to fill the façade.
But the girl in front of her, who looked like the eldest lady of the eunuch family, was stunned that she had no internal strength at all, how could this not surprise Fang Yuan.
"Don't scream, don't move, can you understand what I'm saying? Fang Yuan pressed his curiosity and said to the girl in white.
The girl in white nodded hurriedly.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan didn't unravel the other party's dumb acupoint, but continued: "I'll ask you a few simple questions now, if you just nod your head, if you don't just shake your head, and if you understand it, you will nod." ”
The girl in white nodded.
"Is this boat yours?" Fang Yuan asked.
The girl in white shook her head and nodded again.
Fang Yuan frowned and asked, "Do you mean to say that this ship is not yours, but it is for your use?"
The girl in white nodded.
"Well, that's good. Fang Yuan encouraged her and continued to ask, "Can this ship set sail right now?"
The girl in white hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.
"If I ask you to order this ship to set sail and sail out of Yangdu now, will there be any trouble?" Fang Yuan asked.
The girl in white nodded.
"What's the matter, don't the people on the ship listen to your orders?" Fang Yuan's tone was a little unkind.
The girl in white shook her head.
"Since they're all on your orders, what's the trouble with letting the ship sail?"
Regarding Fang Yuan's question, the girl in white didn't know whether to shake her head or nod.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan said in a gentle tone: "I have no ill will towards you, I just want to borrow your ship, as long as you send me to your destination, I will let you go, have you understood what I said?"
The girl in white nodded.
Fang Yuan continued: "I'll unravel your dumb hole now, if you shout and attract others, I will kill as many as I want, and then I will give you a lesson that I will never forget, I hope you don't do stupid things that harm others and yourself, you will nod when you understand it." ”
The girl in white nodded.
So, Fang Yuan flicked his fingers to unlock the girl's dumb hole.
As soon as the girl's dumb hole was untied, she whispered, "Can you take your hand away?"
