Chapter 13 Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom
After dealing with the tavern matter, Yang Kang bought a coffin in a nearby market town, restrained Qu Lingfeng, bought a flatbed carriage for pulling goods, put the coffin on the carriage, and then it was his journey alone.
He wrote two letters, one to Bao Xiweak, he didn't know how long he would stay on Peach Blossom Island, and he didn't want Bao Xiweak to worry, so he lied to her that he coveted the scenery of Jiangnan, and he couldn't go back until later.
The other letter was sent to Baopu Lu to Sun Buer, and he said that he had met the guards of Zhao Wangfu and went to play alone, and this letter made the four ghosts of the Yellow River more convincing.
As for Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian, their task is to send Qu Lingfeng's daughter back to Kaifeng, and hand over this little girl named Qu Feiyan to Bao Xiqiao to take care of, which can be regarded as finding a new comfort for Bao Xiweak.
Yang Kang was very surprised when he first learned that this little girl was called Qu Feiyan, which made him think of another little girl named Qu Feiyan, who did not end very well, and was stabbed to death by a bad guy.
The so-called non-smoke has the meaning of auspiciousness and auspiciousness, and parents give their children this name is naturally well-intentioned, but sometimes the world is unpredictable.
Yang Kang didn't care about his feelings, he refused Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu's request to follow, and let them return to Kaifeng to recuperate, and after they left, Yang Kang hired a random guy to drive in the bazaar, all the way to Changguo County.
As the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, he can ride a horse, but driving a car is undoubtedly a technical job.
Riding a horse requires a whip to whip the horse's buttocks, while driving a cart requires different parts of the horse's body to control the direction of the cart and the speed of action, which requires very skillful techniques, otherwise it may not be forward, but backward.
And the horses that pull the cart, the horses that people ride and the military horses are different kinds of horses, which are completely different in temperament, and cannot be treated equally.
Yang Kang didn't want to compete with horses along the way, so he hired a guy to save trouble.
At this time, Changguo County was called Wengshan County in the Tang Dynasty, which was Zhoushan City in later generations, but he did not go directly to Changguo County, but came to Qingyuan Mansion.
Qingyuan Mansion was originally called Mingzhou, but in the first year of Qingyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was changed to Qingyuan Mansion, which was later known as Ningbo City.
Since the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty has shrunk by more than half.
For example, Baoying County was changed to Baoying Prefecture, Mingzhou was changed to Qingyuan Mansion, etc., and the Southern Song Dynasty was one of the dynasties that changed the place name the most.
After Yang Kang came to Qingyuan Mansion, he changed the carriage and his buddy, this is his last stop as Yang Kang, he changed into a white dress, he can't take a bath for the next few days, can't change clothes, and it's best not to sleep, so that he can be described as haggard, smelly of sweat, his eyes are red, and he is crumbling.
From this moment on, he was Qu Kang.
Two days later, a haggard child who watched his heart set off from Qingyuan Province to Changguo County, and from Changguo County to the shore of the East China Sea, he bought a small boat, moved the coffin to the boat, and began rowing alone.
There are thousands of small islands in the Zhoushan Islands, according to Qu Lingfeng's description, Peach Blossom Island is not far from the shore, and it takes half a day to reach it by boat, and Yang Kang estimates that it is six or seven nautical miles.
At this time, he stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the depths of the sea, where the peach blossoms were in full bloom, but it was early autumn, and the peach blossoms were not visible.
The vast sea, the waves are jagged, Yang Kang can't help but feel a sense of pride.
When Yang Kang went to Peach Blossom Island, Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian went all the way north, and because of Hong Qigong's warning, they did not dare to stay in Jiangnan.
On this day, they came to the edge of the Yangtze River, and after the Yangtze River was the territory of the Jin Kingdom, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the four ghosts of the Yellow River found a ferry, drove the carriage onto the boat, and set off towards the north of the river.
The carriage was carrying the little girl Qu Feiyan, this is the girl that the little prince swore to protect in the name of his ancestors, Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian did not dare to be careless, and meditated cross-legged by the side of the carriage, and the four ghosts of the Yellow River were on guard.
The boat traveled to the center of the river, and suddenly there was a left and right sway, Sha Tongtian listened to it, and immediately exclaimed, this boat actually leaked, as the leader of the Yellow River Gang, he was begging for a living on the water, and he knew what was going on when he saw and heard it.
The four ghosts of the Yellow River ran over to look for the boatman, who had already jumped into the river and was nowhere to be found.
As the water went deeper, the ferry shook more and more, and in a moment it capsized, and the horse pulling the cart was frightened and rushed forward, straight into the river.
As the carriage rolled, a little girl rolled out of the carriage and fell into the river, about to be swept away by the torrent.
"Quick, save that little girl. Sha Tongtian shouted.
The four ghosts of the Yellow River jumped into the river and pounced on the little girl, although the martial arts of these four people were not very good, but the water was excellent, but at this time in the middle of the river, the water was turbulent, and the little girl was lost in an instant.
The ferry has capsized, Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu's arms can not move, can only rely on two feet in the water fluttering, Peng Lianhu is a Hebei bandit, not familiar with the water, but even shouted for help, the four ghosts of the Yellow River saw this and hurriedly swam back to help Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu, the little girl disappeared into the river.
Somewhere downstream of the capsized ferry, an old monk with a white beard was walking by the river, and suddenly saw a flash of red clothes in the river, so he broke a branch and threw it towards the river, and then jumped up, swept the rapids on the riverside, borrowed slightly on the branch, and picked up a little girl from the river the next moment.
At this time, the old monk was exhausted, fell into the river, and went forward along the current.
Kaifeng Mansion, Wanyan Honglie took the note in his hand, frowning, at this time he didn't want to go back to the palace, he just wanted to hide in the mansion and be quiet, he was afraid to see Bao Xiweak, he was afraid that Bao Xiweak asked if there was any news of Akang.
Am I doing this wrong?
Why do you have to go to Niujia Village? What is your relationship with the beggar gang? Do you know your background? Do you want to seek revenge on me?
He looked at a note next to him, which was densely filled with small characters, which were the words retold by the coachman, and one of them stimulated Wan Yan Honglie, that is, Guo Jing.
Wanyan Honglie once heard Bao Xiweak talk about the marriage of Guo Yang's two families, the child of the Guo family is called Guo Jing, and it turns out that the children of that family are still alive in the world, is this a coincidence?
Both kids went to that place, were they acting for me?
Wanyan Honglie was so skeptical, but this qiē has passed, it doesn't matter if it's acting or not, anyway......
He opened the note in his hand again, and there were only eight words on it: The boat covers the heart of the river, and I don't know whether I live or die.
Akang, go all the way.
