Escorted by a team of guards, Qin Daguan and his entourage got on a swordfish boat and headed for Xiaoshan Island. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This time they were on the smallest saury boat and had no cabins. Qin Yujiu stood at the bow of the ship, Hong Qili and Xiong Daiying stood on either side of him, followed by Chris and Ning Yifei, followed by the other servants, and the chief servant and the rest of the people stayed in the small courtyard of the main island.

The sun was shining from the sea, and the Heishui River slowly turned from black to blue, and it was known that the ship had left the main island and entered the sea. The boat sailed over the sandbar of the nearby island, stirring up a crowd of seabirds, which circled and flew in the air, and only a few flutters of the daring seagulls landed on the sandbar.

As soon as the sandbar passed, the sun suddenly disappeared, and the thick fog that evaporated from the surface of the sea filled everywhere, and only the general outline of a few islands in the distance could be seen in the sea of fog.

"Are we in Penglai Immortal Island, swimming in the ethereal fairyland?" Although Xiong Daiying's tone was relaxed, he was very uneasy.

"It's not normal fog. ”

Qin Yujiu's words surprised the four of them.

Chris felt that Qin Yujiu was right, this fog was by no means natural. It was as if something was growing in the water and then spreading into the air, filled with a special smell.

Qin Yujiu's sensitive nose could smell something that others couldn't smell, he turned back and said in a low voice, "There is the smell of saltpeter." ”

Saltpeter, also known as "wall frost", can be used to make ice.

Chris thought to himself: the relative humidity of this sea area has long been saturated, and if you throw ice cubes into the water, the cold air will float up from the bottom of the water, and the water vapor in the air will condense and form a fog. Thinking about it, she whispered, "This is artificial fog!"

This trick is Li Qing's trick again?

Hong Qili secretly said in his heart: It is said that Shamen Island cannot enter or exit, the water is fast, and the boat is difficult to travel, in case of getting into this fog, it is easy to get lost, no wonder the fishermen in Dengzhou are reluctant to get out of the boat.

Sure enough, a merchant ship that had hit a reef and ran aground loomed in the white fog, half of it was submerged in the water, the bow and the broken mast were exposed on the water, and suddenly something broke, and when it fell, the fog was stirred, and the thing fell into the water, and it disappeared, and the sound of splashing water came out, and the sound of the rustling was like a ghost crying under the water.

The fog was getting thicker, damp and cold. Nothing could be seen from a short distance, and the long, narrow swordfish boat moved slowly.

After some time, the fog began to fade, and the outline of the small black mountain island gradually appeared on the water surface in the distance. The swordfish boat increased its speed significantly, and soon narrowed the distance between it and the rocky island, and among the abrupt clusters of island rocks, there was a stone that was lonely, like a fair girl, staring into the distance, the rock was covered with moss, and the thick black vines in the water also climbed the rock. When the swordfish boat sailed past the seemingly shy girl's rock, they could see clearly that the girl's "eyes" were staring at them in black holes, like prisoners whose eyes had been gouged out, helplessly tied to the torture equipment, exposed to the sun and rain all day long, and in great pain.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yifei's eyes carried a trace of fear, and for a moment he thought of Yue Yu'er, and he couldn't help but feel sad and sad.

After passing the Maiden's Rock, the weather suddenly became clear again. Chris frowned and looked down to see that the blue water had turned back to black, not like the night-like black river water seen on Scorpion Island, but as sticky black water as asphalt.

Hong Qili saw a huge thing in the water, standing in the forest, it seemed to be a hill on the island of Little Black Mountain, and when he bypassed the big stone in front of him that blocked the view, he saw that it was a stone city on the shore, the wooden buildings on the upper floor of the stone city had decayed, and the spire decorated on the roof had collapsed.

The water was as calm as death, but instead of docking, the swordfish boat turned left at the boundary of the Shicheng waterfront and sailed into a narrow waterway. The sails hung loosely, and they just had to let the current push them to their destination.

At the end of the waterway was a rectangular trough, and their boat suddenly stopped.

Directly in front of it was blocked by a gate, so you couldn't see anything, but you could hear the sound of water.

Someone on the swordfish boat reminded: "Honorable guest, we have arrived. ”

Having said that, the sailors and guards on the ship did not move. Chris looked left and right, Qin Yujiu didn't move, Hong Qili and Xiong Daiying didn't ask questions, and Ning Yifei stayed honestly. She pursed her lips, but still leaned two steps toward the boat. Looking at the black water closely, she suddenly wanted to put her hand in the water and try to see what the viscous water felt like to the touch, but she didn't have the guts after all. Maybe the black water was poisonous, but just as she thought so, the surface of the black water suddenly dropped, as if it had leaked out of the sink, and in a short time it was all gone.

At the same time, an earth-shattering horn sounded above, and the floodgates in front of him began to slowly open.

Chris quickly regained her position, and she peered into the distance, a long, gentle stone path sloping upward, with two sets of large wooden axles beside each of them, and a large iron chain lying in the stone path that stretched to the top of the stone city.

On both sides of the shore, two stone doors were opened, and the weavers rushed in, some hanging huge iron hooks on the bow of their boats, others running to the side of the axles.

Chris watched in amazement at their skillful movements, and then looked up at the hook connected to the huge chain.

"Is this trying to force us up?" Chris blurted out.

When the black water was exhausted, someone had already jumped into the tank and tied the bottom of the swordfish boat to a cart with wheels.

At this moment, the trumpet of the fibersmith sounded, and dozens of big men pushed the wooden handle on the wheel axle at the same time, and the wheel axle rotated. Accompanied by the sound of rusty chains grinding against each other, the crunch of wheels rolling, and their ship moved forward. As the fiberman pushed hard, the boat was carried up the slope little by little.

The saury boat continued upward, and when the hull returned to a parallel position, they entered another tank, but there was no water, and it felt empty and hung in the air. Ahead was a tall gate, and nothing else could be seen, but the sound of water could be heard on the other side of the wall. Chris had to look back, and although he had a good view and could see how they had just come up, it was a little scary.

Someone on the same shore had already removed the hanging iron hook and untied the bottom of the boat, and after doing this, they quickly withdrew from the stone gate next to it.

The water poured in, and their boat drifted adrift.

The stern sluice rose first, and the bow sluice slowly fell.

A water pavilion appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Chris had to admit that the scenery was spectacular: the water was not black, but sapphire blue, and there was a brilliant light in front of him, like a million blue gems shining in the sun. As far as her eye could see, the water was wide and there were several small saury boats parked.

The crew continued to row, the helmsman continued to steer, and their boat slowly entered the water pavilion, which seemed to be connected to the small tank of a larger tank, which also reminded Chris of the "small sea" where the boat was parked in the Dengzhou Sailor Fish Village.

This rectangular pavilion is surrounded by a red corridor with wide columns, but now three-quarters of it is soaked in water, and has long since become decaying, this pavilion should have been a cloister courtyard, and a circle of stone walls on the outside of it, apparently built to enclose the water.

The water is crystal clear, and when you look down, you can see the arches, pavilions, and rockeries in the original courtyard...... All were submerged and turned into underwater ruins.

The place where they disembarked was the same building that Hong Qili had just seen below, half of which had fallen into the water, covered with moss and lichen. The other half was left with only the platform and some broken pillars.

Chris felt strange and muttered, "Since it has been rebuilt, why are these dilapidated buildings still there?"

"I'm afraid Lord Li didn't dare to take matters into his own hands and demolish this place. Qin Yujiu said in a low voice.

"Why?"

"This place is called" Penglai Palace ", Tang Zhenguan 19 years, Tang Taizong Li Shimin led Xu Maogong, Li Daozong personally conquered Goguryeo, Shamen Islands is the sea route of the Eastern Expedition, then in Daxie Island, Turtle Island, and then to Wuhu Island to build many fortresses offensive, after the "Wuhu Shu", "Da Xie Shu". And this Penglai Palace is built by Su Dingfang, the general of the march of Liaodong Road, to 22 years, the town guard general from here to the northeast sea, out of the sea to break Goryeo. ”

Tang Dynasty generals like Xu Maogong and Su Dingfang, Hong Qili, Ning Yifei and Xiong Daiying are all familiar with it, but Chris doesn't know it at all, but she roughly understands what Qin Yujiu means, probably this was ordered by the previous emperor to repair it, and if it is to be demolished, it must be demolished by the emperor of the current dynasty, and Li Qing does not have the courage to do so.

Chris glanced at Qin Yujiu's back in front of him, turned his head and grimaced at Ning Yifei, and said in his heart that Qin Daguan was indeed different from usual today.

Qin Yujiu suddenly smiled and asked, "Xiaoyi, what else do you want to ask?"

Chris stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm thinking, the big officials are so powerful, how can they know so much!"

After Qin Yujiu was the general of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong, he still knew a lot about the Tang Dynasty. He snorted coldly and said, "Flim Tongue!"

A few people walked through the dilapidated building, and they heard someone say in a loud voice: "Why are the Qin officials late?"

Looking up, it was Li Qing who spoke. He strode over from the other end of a long corridor. To be honest, he was waiting a little impatiently. Time passed bit by bit, seeing that the auspicious time was coming, this Qin official had not yet arrived, and he had some resentment in his heart, which was also revealed in his words.

Qin Yujiu didn't care, and smiled softly: "It's all because Qin Mou is late, but he delayed the ceremony of opening the island?

"The ceremony hasn't started yet, how dare Li not wait for the Qin officials and start the ceremony?" Li Qing said, "It's also that his subordinates are not doing well, so it would be better to notify them earlier." ”

As he spoke, he glared at the few guards who followed Qin Yujiu's side.

Qin Yujiu waved his hand and said, "Lord Li doesn't blame them, it's all Qin's fault, and it's all Qin's fault that it took Qin to choose a gift for Lord Li." ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does the Qin official mean?"

Qin Yujiu hugged his fists and said: "These days on the island, food, clothing, housing and transportation are carefully arranged by the owner, and the small courtyard specially prepared, Qin is also very satisfied, and the ...... on the island is also very satisfied, and he smiled with unknown meaning, and said, "The 'interesting things' on the island also opened Qin's eyes." Qin has always liked to be courteous, so he naturally wants to back up the generous gifts for the master. ”

Who are the Qin officials of Ning Xiangju? Even the former emperor was thrown in the face by him, and Li Qing had already heard of the reputation of being difficult to serve, and it was like thunder. Relying on the ancient incense that he finally obtained, he invited Qin Yujiu to move, and Li Qing couldn't stick to other people's cold butts with a hot face, so he didn't like to please Wang Shu and Teng Chuliang, and he was willing to welcome Qin's officials. But right now, Qin Daguan actually said that he wanted to give him a gift, which couldn't help but make him a little hard to believe.

Li Qing asked, "I don't know what kind of gift it is?"

Qin Yujiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can Qin have the ability of the Lord to get such a strange treasure, it's just Qin's own incense medicine." ”

When she went out today, Qin Yujiu asked Chris to hold a box, and she was still wondering in her heart.

He waved his hand, turned to Chris, and said, "Xiao Yi, present the gift box." ”

"No!" Chris came out of the line, took two steps, stopped in front of Li Qing, and bowed his waist to present the gift box.

Li Qing stepped forward, opened the lid of the box, and breathed a sigh, "Shu Rui?"

Qin Yu said in his heart: Li Qing is not very particular about his appearance, but he didn't expect that he was a person who knew the goods.

It turns out that the incense medicine in this box is called "Shu Rui", which is one of the most valuable incense medicines in Ningxiangju. This name comes from Mrs. Hua Rui, the concubine of Hou Shuhui, and this fragrance is also like her person, gorgeous and dusty, and the jade bone Shanshan. Once this incense was launched, it caused a sensation in Gyeonggi, and when Ning Xiangju was sold, it was stated that this incense was only sold to men with official rank, and there was a limit, one bottle of more than five products can be purchased, two bottles of more than three products can be purchased, and one product can be purchased three bottles. Those ladies in the capital tried their best to beg their lords to ask for incense for themselves, which made people compete. After Renzong learned about it, he bought all the "Shu Rui" and gave all the incense to his favorite Zhang, but unfortunately it didn't take long for Zhang Guifei to die, Renzong always remembered his beloved, so he ordered someone to offer the incense she had used. Now "Shurui" has become a fragrance that is hard to find, and it is difficult to buy a thousand gold, and even the nobles in the palace can't touch it.

Strange goods can be lived, and Qin Yujiu can naturally make a new "Shu Rui".

Li Qing took a look, this box of "Shurui" is priceless, and it can't be bought on the market at all, how many palace concubines and women want it, if you use it to dredge the relationship, it is really a priceless treasure.

"Qin Daguan's gift is too heavy. ”

"Where, where. Qin Yujiu walked up to Chris, glanced at the incense medicine in the box, and said, "This incense can actually be used by the master." ”

"Qin Daguan joked, how can I use this woman's incense as a rough man. Li Qing was amused and laughed.

Qin Yujiu's expression was slightly mysterious and said to Li Qingyan, "Lord Yan doesn't know, although this is a woman's incense, it has no wonderful use. ”

"Oh?"

"Shu people love to eat mustard, this incense has mustard incense, long-term use of Qi dehumidification. I saw that the humidity on this island was too heavy, and if the lord felt that the incense was used directly, the smell was too obvious, and it could be dripped into the water and bathed every day, which was also useful. ”

"I didn't expect such a small bottle of incense to have such a miraculous effect. Li Qing gestured, and a small guy came up next to him and took the gift box in Chris's hand.

Based on Chris's past experience, Qin Daguan can take the initiative to send incense, which is definitely an ulterior motive. His words and arrangements were obviously to make him pay attention to Li Qing, but what should he pay attention to? Chris thought as he secretly looked at Li Qing for a long time, and he didn't see anything wrong at such a close distance. When he came back to his senses, he found that Li Qing was also staring at him, and quickly lowered his head.

Li Qing pointed to Jia Da, Ah Bing and Xiao Ding behind Chris and Qin Yujiu, and said: "I really envy the Qin officials, there is no shortage of capable people around you, those people around you are seven feet tall and magnificent, and this little brother is even more handsome and handsome." ”

Qin Yujiu didn't care, and said, "It's just that a few stupid house slaves have actually entered the eyes of the master." ”

Chris took the opportunity to return to the team.

Li Qing turned to the side and made a gesture of please, and Qin Yujiu walked side by side with him, chatting as he walked.

"Qin Daguan thinks that the things on this island are interesting, and they can't miss it today, the island seizure conference is actually on Xiaoshan Island, which can be regarded as really interesting. ”

"Why is that?"

Li Qingdan didn't say a word, just looked back at the people behind him, and said, "Qin Daguan, it's better to let these subordinates experience it for you." ”

"Qin's request has actually been calculated, wouldn't it be too greedy to ask for anything else?" Qin Yu said, "Besides, I'm afraid that other treasure hunters will say that Qin's people are not qualified." ”

Li Qinglang laughed and said: "They are all qualified, and with my words, no one dares to say more." ”

Qin Yujiu showed a happy expression and said, "It's a pity for a person like Lord Qi to settle in a small Shamen Island, why not come to Beijing to develop?"

"Li doesn't read much, and it's already hard to be a master, and there are many talented people in Beijing, so it's my turn?"

"Qin also has some connections in Beijing, if the Lord has a heart, he can also match the Lord in the future. ”

This is something that Li Qingpan can't even look forward to, but now that the Qin officials have taken the initiative to mention it, this good luck can't be stopped once it comes! He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly said: "This is very good, Li is really flattered that he is held up by the Qin officials!"
