Early the next morning, Wang Yuelong and his group said goodbye to Wang Chuji, the great treasurer of Wang, and boarded the merchant ship of the Texas Branch League to the capital.

In February, the rivers in Dongzhou were basically thawed, and the canals were unimpeded.

Wang Yuelong, Hou Xiaohu, Su Ningshuang, Lu Xiangru, Mu Xueqi, Luo Yueling, and a group of six people, plus two horses, occupied the six rooms of this merchant ship.

However, it was fortunate that this merchant ship was a ship within the Texas Confederacy, and there were no other merchants in common, so they were able to obtain such a large house.

This trip was not just a merchant ship that Wang Yuelong and others were taking, but also towed three ships of cargo after the merchant ship, so that the speed of the entire fleet was greatly reduced.

However, the leading merchant ship was a chariot ship with a length of thirteen or fourteen zhang and a width of more than four zhang. Different from the chariot and ship warships that were stepped on by a large number of manpower in the imperial court battle, the chariot and ship of the Texas Alliance was constructed by very complex mechanisms, and only four people were needed to maneuver it freely, saving a lot of manpower.

It's just that there are gains and losses, because of the complex and exquisite structure of the drive device, the cost of maintenance and repair is really expensive, and this car and ship will not be used at all in the ordinary passenger transportation. Unless there are important people in the alliance who need to start from Texas to go north to the capital of Shangzhou or to the main states and counties of Nanzhou in the south, this vehicle and ship will be used.

If it weren't for Wang Yuelong this time, the Texas Branch would not have used such an important vehicle and ship to send people and goods.

And Su Ningshuang and Hou Xiaohu have walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, taking countless boats, but it is also the first time to take a car and boat, and they have been stained with Wang Yuelong's light with the three sisters of Lu Xiangru.

Because the ship was made by the skill of a delicate mechanism, the journey was not only smooth and comfortable, but also very fast. Originally, it was more than 600 miles between Texas and the capital, and it took at least ten days to take other passenger ships. However, as soon as this car and ship came out, it traveled as much as 120 miles a day, which was as far as two days of ordinary merchant ships.

This is still the distance that the vehicle and ship run out at 50% speed. If it is running at full strength, then at most it will take more than three days, and Wang Yuelong and the others will be able to arrive in the capital. It's just that in this case, this expensive car and ship can be scrapped.

The entire fleet, in addition to Wang Yuelong and other six people, there are still sixteen car and ship boatmen, as well as five hundred guards from the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, all of them are masters, there are several older guard leaders, and when they were young, they were even first-class players who had been on the Hundred Flowers Master List, and the others also had the strength to impact the Hundred Flowers Master List.

In this way, it can be seen that the Dongzhou Five Business Alliance can rank among the top ten of the Hundred Flowers Gang List all year round, and it is not in vain.

And the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance has so many masters, so the comprehensive strength of the two sects, two sects and four families above the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, the number of masters has already reached a terrifying level?

However, this is all off topic and will not be mentioned here.

When they first boarded the boat, everyone was full of excitement, even the most tranquil and elegant Su Ningshuang and the most indifferent and silent Hou Xiaohu all showed a very unusual surprise.

It's just that after the boat traveled only five miles, the youngest Luo Yueling had no interest, it was really because this girl was actually seasick, and she felt dizzy and disgusting and weak as soon as the excitement passed, so she quickly pulled Mu Xueqi and ran back to her room.

After that, Su Ningshuang and Lu Xiangru also went back together, leaving Wang Yuelong and Hou Xiaohu still on the deck.

Hou Xiaohu stood quietly on the deck with a knife, and his body seemed to be nailed to the ship, but he was using this to cultivate his internal strength.

Wang Yuelong sat at the bow of the boat, his eyes kept looking at the river in front of the boat, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he let the flying waves hit his body and face.

And the two of them sat and stood one by one, and they both stayed on the deck all day, and the four girls of Su Ningshuang also came out to take a look, but seeing that they were both so focused, they didn't even bother with them, so they didn't care anymore, and let the two cultivation madmen practice separately.

It wasn't until the bright moon was in the sky and a few stars dotted the night that Hou Xiaohu slowly opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time, and a light flashed from his eyes, and then disappeared in a deep look that was completely different from his age. After feeling the true qi in his body that was gradually regaining calm, Hou Xiaohu's cold face that had not changed for ten thousand years couldn't help but flash a smile, but no one noticed it.

At a glance, through the hazy night, Hou Xiaohu was shocked to find that the golden figure was still maintaining the posture of the daytime at this moment, sitting on the bow of the boat, motionless.

Gently walking behind Wang Yuelong, Hou Xiaohu looked at the surging river in front of him, and suddenly a trace of evil thoughts flashed in his heart.

"If you push this kid down the river, can you drown him?

This trace of evil thought was born suddenly, but it was immediately strangled to death by Hou Xiaohu in the depths of his mind, and the hand that was about to be stretched out subconsciously quickly stopped.

Hou Xiaohu knew that Wang Yuelong's martial arts were extremely high, that is, the four of them were not necessarily his opponents, but this did not make Hou Xiaohu feel frustrated, but he had a deeper idea of cultivating hard in his heart, and he wanted to defeat Wang Yuelong one day in a dignified manner, instead of these indiscriminate methods.

Hou Xiaohu didn't know that if he really dared to do something to Wang Yuelong just now, he would be hit by Wang Yuelong's most ruthless blow.

Although Wang Yuelong's eyes have been staring at the river, his mind is not in the river at all.

His saber was destroyed during the morning exercise at the Laiyi Inn in Yucheng before, and he had not purchased a new weapon since then, so in the past two days, when he was on the road, Wang Yuelong had been thinking about how to use the Qi Wang Nine Immortal Sword when he didn't have a sword, and how to combine the newly cultivated Ben Thunder God Fist with the existing martial arts body.

Therefore, on this day, Wang Yuelong was very calm on the surface, but in fact, he grasped every moment and practiced his exercises in his mind.

If there was no malicious disturbance, then Wang Yuelong would not pay attention to any situation in the outside world at all. But if there is malicious interference, the things that are rehearsed in the mind will be subconsciously made out by the body, and at this moment, because it is unconscious, the damage will only increase compared to when Wang Yuelong deliberately performed it.

If Hou Xiaohu really did something to Wang Yuelong because of that trace of evil thoughts in his heart, he would end up either dead or disabled.

Hou Xiaohu, who didn't know that he had swam around between life and death, saw that Wang Yuelong was always staring at the river under the boat, and he couldn't help but look forward, but he saw that there was nothing but the churning waves.

Hou Xiaohu, who had been cultivating for a day, also felt empty in his stomach at night, and bursts of hunger kept coming up, so this future master was looking for food to fill his stomach at this moment.

When Wang Yuelong left Yucheng County a few days ago, as long as he was in a hurry, he continued to practice the exercises in his mind, which has gone through several days of hard work, but today it has been preliminarily finalized.

And today, on the boat, watching the waves churning, I have more understanding, which is why I am so immersed in cultivation. It's just that the night is almost the same.

Therefore, what Hou Xiaohu didn't know was that not long after he left, Wang Yuelong ended the cultivation in his mind, and his eyes were refocused in front of him.

"Woo~~ I'm so tired!" The young man stretched his waist completely regardless of the image, feeling that he had been sitting for a day, and his whole body was frozen, and there was a "click" sound everywhere when he moved.

Standing up and moving, Wang Yuelong looked left and right, and saw that on the huge deck, except for a few guards on patrol duty at this moment, there was no one else, and his eyes rolled, but he quietly carried his true qi, and gathered it into his right hand that was like a sword.

With the sound of crackling electricity, Wang Yuelong's right hand became brighter and brighter, and the dense electric light emitted a moment of brightness in the dark night, and then disappeared, but then more electric light shone up.

And as the operation of the true qi in his body accelerated, this electric light gradually stopped flickering, and Wang Yuelong's entire right hand was like a small sun at this moment, emitting a dazzling light, and the crackling electric sound was replaced by a rumbling dull thunder, and the sound became louder and louder.

Such a dazzling light and deafening sound directly alarmed the shipwrights and guards on the ship, not only the guards on patrol were stunned, but even the shipwrights and guards who noticed something strange in the cabin also ran out, and then looked dumbfounded at Wang Yuelong, who was half of his body shrouded in dazzling light.

And the entire fleet slowly stopped unconsciously.

The crew was so noisy, which naturally alarmed Su Ningshuang and Hou Xiaohu. They first met in the cabin, the youngest Luo Yueling was already frightened by the movement outside at the moment, and she didn't care about the discomfort of seasickness, and said to her senior sister in a crying voice: "Senior Sister Lu, what's wrong outside, it's so loud?!Ling'er is so scared! Woo~~"

Su Ningshuang was the oldest and calmest, and when she saw at a glance that Wang Yuelong was not there at the moment, she couldn't help but sink in her heart and said, "Now let's hurry up and go outside, it may be that Brother Long has an accident." After saying that, he walked out of the cabin first, and looking at the hurried appearance, he had completely lost the tranquility of Su Ri.

"Let's go out and have a look!" Lu Xiangru also found out that Wang Yuelong was not there, hugged the frightened Luo Yueling and said in a low voice, and walked out with Mu Xueqi and Luo Yueling.

But Hou Xiaohu had already followed Su Ningshuang first.

When Su Ningshuang and the others all came out of the hatch and came to the bow of the ship, they were also shocked by the scene in front of them.
