"Lord Wang, I think it's better for us to be careful."

Chi Zhongtian disagreed with the king's words, after all, he didn't know much about this military guide.

"Haha, you're too worried, you don't have to worry about this. The king smiled heartily and prevaricated his words.

Seeing that King Zun was so relaxed, Chi Zhongtian might really think that he was too careful, so he said with a smile: "I hope so, by the way, Lord Wang, the guide has an idea, let us go to the Jiangbei Navy camp on the other side to borrow a warship to come over, in this way, it will be much more convenient to cross the river." ”

After hearing Chi Zhongtian's words, King Venerable pondered slightly, then nodded and said: "It's feasible, but I'm afraid you can only go to this matter in person, I am inconvenient for me to come forward, and others don't have this face." ”

"Lord Wang, if I go, then your safety is in danger"

"Hey, it's just such a short time, what are you afraid of, besides, there are so many people, it's going to be fine, Zhongtian, you're a little too nervous, aren't you fighting and killing in the martial arts all day long, and develop such a personality." ”

People in the martial arts have always been cautious, but I am afraid that the king will not be able to fully understand this idea.

"Okay, then the prince, I'll go and come back quickly!" After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house, first instructed the few junior officers to let people strengthen their guard, and then, he found a guide with the army and went out of the city together.

The Jialing River ferry port is four or five miles away from Boryeong Province, because it is dark, so it is slower.

After walking along the path for a while, the two of them came to the ferry.

At this time, the ferry is very calm, most of the boats are empty, only a few people are lighting a fire on the shore to eat food, these people are crossing the night boat, generally nothing happens, unless someone is in a hurry to cross the river overnight, such as the current Chi Zhongtian, is such a person.

"Who are you boatmen?" asked Chi Zhongtian, who got off his horse and walked directly to the crowd.

The people were eating together, and when they heard Chi Zhongtian's words, one of them stood up and said, "I am, what, you want to cross the river?"

"Yes, it's a bit of a rush. Chi Zhongtian replied with a smile.

"Where are you going?"

"Shunqing Mansion. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Shunqing Mansion" The boatman bowed his head and muttered, and then said, "Do you just go over, or do you say that you will come back after you pass?" ”

"Just send me there. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Well, that's okay, ten taels of silver, no counteroffer. The boatman said directly.

As soon as Chi Zhongtian was about to agree, the guide next to him immediately came over and said, "Your price is too dark, usually three or four taels of silver, why do you want ten taels?"

"It's the middle of the night, it's so cold, you see how many boats are willing to go out, I'm here to see that you have something urgent to do before I send a good heart, if you don't want to sit, then please. ”

After saying that, the boatman sat back down in the crowd, and the other people in the crowd, as if they didn't see this, still drank and chatted with themselves.

"You man!" the guide couldn't help but get angry when he saw that the boatman was so unreasonable.

"Hey!"

Chi Zhongtian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the guide, then walked over and said, "I'll give you twenty taels, as long as you send me quickly." ”

This time is the time to be in a hurry, and of course Chi Zhongtian will not worry about money at this time.

"That's not necessary, I said ten taels on ten taels, on such a cold day, it is natural for me to charge a little more, but if I charge too much, then it is not my duty, let's go." ”

The boatman put down his belongings, got up and walked towards the shore.

Chi Zhongtian didn't expect this boatman to say this, it seems to be very unique.

"Then you can go back first. Chi Zhongtian turned to the guide and said.

"General, I'd better follow you, I'm afraid you won't know the way again. The guide said.

"No need, when I get to the naval camp, how can the people there not know the way, you better go back quickly, it's cold at this time, if you take a boat with me, you have to freeze to death." ”

Seeing Chi Zhongtian say this, the guide didn't want to argue anymore, smiled gratefully, and turned to leave.

After walking to the shore, the boatman had already brought the boat close to the shore, and two lanterns were hung on the boat.

"This son, please come up. The boatman said to Chi Zhongtian.

"Good!"

In response, Chi Zhongtian walked to the boat and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Childe, it's going to be cold for a while, so you're going to wear a little bit?" the boatman couldn't help but ask curiously, looking at the single clothes that Chi Zhongtian was wearing.

Chi Zhongtian said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, just row." ”

"Well, if you can't stand the cold, you can stand up and walk around. ”

After the boatman finished speaking, he ignored him, picked up the penny, and pushed it down with all his might, so that the boat was propped off the shore and rowed towards the middle of the river.

At first, Chi Zhongtian didn't feel anything, but after a while, Chi Zhongtian couldn't stand it anymore.

Although the wind in the middle of the river is not big, it is cold and biting, especially now that the water surface is still slightly frozen, this cold wind mixed with the cold air of the ice cubes to blow the body of the pond in the sky, it is really a cold bone.

There was no way, he could only secretly breathe, run out the warm internal force in his body, and after walking around his body, he felt much better.

This boatman is rowing at the moment, and at the same time he is quietly observing Chi Zhongtian, he has been rowing at night all the year round, and he has long been used to it, but seeing Chi Zhongtian actually wearing a single coat and sitting on the boat without moving, it really surprised him.

About an hour later, Chi Zhongtian, who was still breathing with his eyes closed, heard the voice of the boatman.

"Childe, it's here. ”

Hearing this, Chi Zhongtian opened his eyes, looked left and right, and couldn't see anything clearly in the dark.

"Childe, where are you going in the middle of the night? ”

The boatman asked casually.

"It's okay, it's a bit of a rush to find a friend. Chi Zhongtian prevaricated casually, and then took out the silver and handed it over.

"Childe, if you are fast, I will wait here for you, and then I will ferry you back, and I will charge you five taels of silver. "The boatman seems to want to do another business.

Chi Zhongtian said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I won't go back until a few days later." ”

"Oh, that's right, that's fine, then I'll go. ”

With that, the boatman turned the bow of the boat and rowed back the way he had come.

The surroundings were too dark, and Chi Zhongtian didn't know the way, so he could only grope his way forward first, and then talk about it after entering the city.
