14. The pearl of the sea

It was already dusk, and Xing'er's merchant ship went down the river for three or four hundred miles, and finally returned to the realm of Shui Zhenla. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Finding a relatively open beachhead, the merchant ships gradually slowed down, and even a dry speedboat with the ship trailing behind slowed down, still not close or far away.

It is said that earlier, Li Bing and a few people repelled the Taoist priests who were defending the city, but it didn't take much effort.

The young woman Lu Zhenla, who was walking with the Taoist priest, was not bad, but she was still suppressed by Li Binghe and Rimai and couldn't get out. Seeing that the sailors on the left and right were all obedient to her, Li Bing simply held her hostage, forced the sailors to open the water gate, and said: As long as the merchant ship leaves Lu Zhenla's territory safely, the young woman will be released.

The merchant ship fled down the river, and the Taoist priest led four or five speedboats to follow.

The merchant ship stopped oars, but did not drop anchor. On the deck, Li Binghe and Pu Yuan loosened the rope for the girl, and Li Bing said to the apricot girl standing on the side: "You tell her that she can go, don't follow us anymore." ”

After the apricot girl did so, the Lu Zhenla woman glared at Li Bing angrily, put down a sentence of Zhenla, jumped up from the deck, stepped on the water, and landed on the beach. As soon as the girl disembarked, Tida and the others propped up their oars again, and the merchant ship sped up again in an instant.

Looking back, after the speedboats docked to pick up Lu Zhenla's woman on board, they seemed to have begun to turn back to Lu Zhenla. After all, it is already the realm of Shui Zhenla, and it is not far further to the military defense post, and it is no longer appropriate to chase it down.

"What did she just say?"

Sooner or later, she said. This "Twelve Pictures of the Immortals", she will still be coming back. Miss Xing'er explained, and suddenly knelt down after speaking, kowtowed to Li Bing and a few others, and couldn't kneel down.

"Thank you for your help and great kindness to save my brother, Apricot is unforgettable. ”

Li Bing hurriedly helped her up, only saying that this was to repay her for saving her life, and asked her not to take it to heart. As for why he stole the "Twelve Pictures of the Immortals", he didn't ask.

After a long day of worrying, everyone was very tired. After thanking each other, the group went back to the cabin to rest.

"Whew~!Whew~!"

The sun was setting obliquely, the night was falling, and the wind and waves were even stronger on the river, and even on a March day in Zhenla, the deck was as cold as the winter in the north, making people shiver.

Li Bing leaned on the mast and sat on the deck, looking at the stars in the sky, in a daze.

"Brother Li has something on his mind?" Xu came out of the cabin, but Rimai didn't follow behind. "Still thinking about today's daytime?"

"Yes. Li Bing responded, Xu was irritable, and didn't say anything more.

"Are you regretting that you helped Miss Xing'er snatch something?" Xu said, next to Li Bing, and also sat on the ground.

"I don't regret it! He paused, put his hands behind his head, and pillowed the mast: "From childhood to adulthood, there have been many times when I want to rob other people's things, but this time is the only one...... Call....... Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly, just staring blankly at the faint starlight in the sky.

"I can see that Brother Li is pure and good-natured, and he is a man of temperament. Stealing and robbing this kind of thing, I don't want to do it. But in order to repay the kindness of the apricot girl, I had to do it again. Among the dilemmas, there will be some difficulties. ”

After Xu finished speaking, he turned his head, still closed his eyes, and smiled at Li Bing's face: "In life, how can everything go well." If you feel guilty, when you have the opportunity, just make up for it. The wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to think about it. ”

After speaking, he stood up and shuddered: "The moon is cold and frosty, and the wind is strong on the deck." Brother Li should also go back to the cabin to rest early. Miss Apricot said that she would be able to go to the 'port' early tomorrow morning. When the time comes, it should be easy to find a boat and return to Datang. With that, he went back to the cabin first.

Li Bing tilted his body, and the whole person leaned on the deck, looking at the crescent moon that had just faded out from behind the clouds.

"If you feel guilty and make up for it later, can you really expose the mistakes you made......

"Ahh

It was already the second day, and it was almost noon, Li Bing sat at the small dining table, rolled up the linen blanket he was wearing, took a deep breath with his nose, and rubbed the snot that was about to flow out with the back of his hand.

"How is it, are you feeling better?" Anzi entered the cabin and handed over a bowl of hot soup: "I was so tired yesterday that when I went to bed, I didn't even notice that Brother Bing'er was still on the deck." When Tita went to work overtime in the morning, she realized that you were hot. I slept again just now, do you feel better now?"

"Fortunately, it was much more comfortable than in the morning. Li Bing took the hot soup, tried to taste it, it was a little hot, and then held the bowl in his hand to warm his body: "What's the sound outside, why is it so noisy?"

"The boat has arrived at the dock. The apricot girl said that there were too many ships entering the port today, and she had to line up to get in, and it was estimated that it would take a while. ”

"Oh!" Li Bing blew the hot soup in the bowl, took small sips, picked up the corner of the linen blanket, and woke up his nose vigorously: "My body is much looser." Let's go, let's go up and have a look!"

On the deck, Apricot and Tita instructed the others to collect the anchor, row the boat forward a little, and then lower the anchor.

She watched Li Bing come out and greeted her.

"Is it more comfortable?" Xing'er asked, and then said, "There are three big ships from Tianzhu and Dashi in front, and the waiting time today is estimated to be a little longer." ”

Li Bing didn't answer, the scene in front of him had already attracted all his attention.

A large port that is more than ten times more majestic than the Weihe ferry in Chang'an City suddenly appeared in front of you.

Five wooden piers stretch out from the shallows, ranging in length from one hundred and forty zhang to the shortest one of fifty. These wooden wharves are based on two rows of solid wood with a diameter of three feet, and a cargo path is neatly laid out with thick planks, half a foot above the sea and nearly two feet wide. There are already a lot of slender men and coolies on the freight road, and life is noisy and noisy.

Each pier was like a feather, with seven or eight branches on the left and right sides. Each slip road has two berths for unloading on the left and right. With the exception of the smallest pier, all the piers have two floors. The largest pier has three floors, and it can unload cargo from the upper, middle and lower cabins at the same time.

Li Bing has never seen such a structure.

Looking at it from a distance, the long queue and the number of ships waiting to enter the port to unload also made Li Bing smack. The officials standing on the wharf constantly directed the ships to enter the port in an orderly manner, and even though the ships arriving at the port today exceeded the capacity of the port, the order was not chaotic at all.

Xing'er's cargo ship, in the entire team, is actually the smallest one. At the front of the team, the three nine-sail ships were particularly eye-catching, and they were the cargo ships from Tianzhu and Da Shi that Xing'er said in her mouth. The three ships had already collected their sails, but they could still be faintly recognized, and the largest sails were painted with huge Tianzhu or Great Eclipse characters. Although Li Bing didn't know him, he thought it should be the ship's number.

The other ships in the team also have their own ship numbers, and one or two of the larger ships also have Chinese characters written on them.

"The city was also built less than 50 years ago. But this port has been expanded four times, and it is still not enough, and today I am afraid that it will take three or four hours to enter it. ”

Xing'er looked into the distance, looking at Li Bing's surprised expression that he tried his best to hide but still showed undoubtedly, and was somewhat proud:

"This is the largest city in Sechenla: Sulama, the pearl of the sea!"

It was already dusk, and Xing'er's merchant ship went down the river for three or four hundred miles, and finally returned to the realm of Shui Zhenla.

Finding a relatively open beachhead, the merchant ships gradually slowed down, and even a dry speedboat with the ship trailing behind slowed down, still not close or far away.
