Although there were two more people, it did not affect Wang Lie's itinerary, and the two rode the same horse at first, and then when they came to the market, they bought two more horses before continuing on the road.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the two of them did not encounter the thieves who blocked the way, which shattered Li Qinglu's dream of being chivalrous and righteous, but she also realized that it was not easy to walk the rivers and lakes, not to mention anything else, riding a horse for a long time was a very tiring thing.

On this day, they crossed the Tongchuan River and came to the edge of the Yellow River. Western Xia is located in the Hetao Plain in later generations, and Li Qinglu has not seen the Yellow River, but what she saw was the Yellow River in the upper reaches, and it was the first time she saw the Yellow River with yellow muddy water, and she was amazed.

"Senior brother, why do you want to cross the river?" A few people stopped on the edge of the Yellow River and let the horses drink water on their own, Li Suning asked.

"Here along the river, not far is Sanmenxia, after Sanmenxia is Luoyang, this way riding is better than taking a boat. Wang Lie smiled, "We are going to the shore of the Bohai Sea, and then we can take the waterway." ”

"But we don't have a boat. Li Suning said: "It would be nice if our Qianshandu was here." ”

They had a Qianshandu in those years, the earliest time was a three-masted ship bought by Tang Hai in Luoyang, and later they went to Baihua Island to live in seclusion, in order to travel to and from the Central Plains, and rebuilt a big ship, also named Qianshandu, and later, this ship was damaged in the wind and waves when Wang Lie drove it to the ocean.

"We'll build another one when we get back. Wang Lie smiled, "I have already asked Meilan Zhuju and the others to clean up Baihua Island again." When the matter of the Central Plains is settled, let's go back to Baihua Island, shall we?"

"Of course. Li Suning said happily: "It's a pity that I planted the flowers back then, I don't know how many are still alive." ”

"We have time. Everything can be done all over again. Wang Lie said. Although their actual age is not small, they still have decades to live, which is longer than the life of ordinary people, Wang Lie is not wrong to say so, they do have a long time.

"Uncle Shi, a ferry is coming!" Li Qinglu said, pointing into the distance, only to see a small boat gliding towards the shore where they were in the middle of the river.

"Wait for the ship to come. Ask him where he can find a boat going down the river, Qinglu you haven't traveled far on a boat yet. Wang Lie said with a smile.

Li Qinglu shook her head, she used to be a princess who lived in the public. Occasionally going out of the palace is already the grace of my father, and I really haven't traveled far by boat.

Laughing, the ferry boat got closer and closer, and when the ferry docked, Wang Lie stepped forward to communicate. The money opens the way. The gondolier happily agreed to take them to the nearest wharf, where there were plenty of merchant ships to board.

It's just that the ferry is too small, and the four of them are already a little crowded when they go up, and the horses can't get up, but the horses they rode this time are not good horses, Wang Lie simply waved his hand and let the horse go.

Li Suning doesn't care about these foreign objects, and she is not her little red horse back then. If it was the little red horse, she would never be willing to let it go, but the little red horse did not have such a long life. Long dead. Li Qinglu was originally a princess, and she didn't feel a few horses.

There was the boatman, rowing and sighing at the loss of a few people.

The ferryboat took them across the Yellow River, and then went down the river for a while, and then they came to a wharf, and indeed as the boatman said, Wang Lie casually inquired, and found a merchant ship willing to carry them eastward, of course, the price was also very high.

Choosing a shipowner who looked more pleasing to the eye, Wang Lie directly threw out a few ingots of gold, and the shipowner gave up the best room on the ship with a smile.

This ship is a ship that transports grain, and the speed of the boat is not much faster than riding a horse on the road, but it is better to be steady, as long as you do not get seasick, it is much more comfortable to ride a boat than to ride a horse.

Going down the river, the boat passed Luoyang in a few days, this ship is transporting grain from Shaanxi to Shandong, and will not stay in Luoyang for more, Wang Lie and several people have not revisited the old place, there is no old man in Luoyang today, Tang Hai and Fan Feng are in the Immortal Changchun Valley, Xue Muhua has followed Su Xinghe and them to Xia Ke Island, Xue Bing Xue Xue is estimated to be still practicing in the mountains, so he is not interested in going ashore.

In this way, more than ten days passed, and the ship quickly passed through the territory of Shandong.

On this day, the shipowner, a man in his forties, came to Wang Lie's room and knocked on the door: "Brother Wang, our ship is almost at its destination, do you want to get off or where do you get off?"

Wang Lie was generous, and the fare he gave was enough for him to run this trip, so he naturally served very thoughtfully.

"You're at Dragon's Mouth, aren't you? We're going down there too, so we don't have to bother on the way. Wang Lie said.

Hangu Bayou's news only said that Guo Tianxiong was on the shore of the Bohai Sea, and the specific location was unknown, so Wang Lie only needed to get off the boat anywhere on the shore of the Bohai Sea.

"Oh no, no, captain!" the owner of the ship was talking to Wang Lie when suddenly a sailor ran over with a shout.

"What is the matter so flustered!" scolded the shipowner.

"Captain, there are several ships in front of us coming towards us, as if they are bandits!" said the sailor in a panic.

The most feared thing about the waterway is the water bandits, and it is possible to rob the property without hurting the life when encountering the bandits by land, but the robbery on the water has always been a robbery with the goods on the boat, as for the people on the boat, sorry, either they are killed on the spot, or they jump into the water to fight. However, water bandits generally choose dangerous shoals to do their work, and even if they are familiar with the nature of the water, it is difficult to survive if they fall into the water.

The shipowner's face changed drastically, "Are you sure it's a bandit?!" he asked with a little trembling, his ship was a grain ship, who would have thought that someone would rob the grain, so there was no guard force on the ship.

"I can see clearly that there are some big men with knives standing on those boats, what else can they be if they are not water bandits. The sailor said, his upper and lower teeth chattering, evidently frightened.

"Don't be afraid, let's go see what's going on. Wang Lie said, his voice carrying a special power that calmed the shipowner and sailors alike.

At this time, the door next to Wang Lie's room opened, and Li Suning poked out his head and said, "Is something wrong, senior brother?"

"It's okay, you continue to fight the landlord. Wang Lie said that a few days after getting on the boat, he drummed out a deck of cards and taught Li Suning, Li Qinglu and Yinping to fight the landlord, and since then the three of them have been obsessed with fighting the landlord, and they will fight in the room if they have nothing to do.

Li Suning sighed and returned to the house, and after a while, three silver bells of laughter came from inside. Wang Lie followed the owner to the bow of the ship.

When they came to the bow, there were already a dozen sailors standing on the deck of the bow, all of them looking nervous, and they were all holding weapons similar to wooden clubs and iron anchors.

And in front of their ship, there were three smaller ships than theirs in a triangle around them, and the decks of those three ships were full of people, and there were forty or fifty people at least, and those people all held bright blades in their hands, reflecting the light in the sun, which added a little more to the momentum.

"Heroes, little old man, this ship is full of worthless food, I don't know how much money it will cost to buy the road to let me go. The owner plucked up the courage to go to the bow and said loudly.

"Don't talk nonsense, what we want is food, leave the boat and food, everyone get out, Lao Tzu is in a good mood today and doesn't want to kill. A bearded man in his thirties and forties on the opposite boat roared.

The owners and sailors all looked at each other, this is the center of the Yellow River, the current is turbulent, how can they leave the boat behind? Do they dive into the water? Although they are all begging for a living on the water, they are not sure that they will be able to swim half of the Yellow River.

"Give you half a pillar of incense time, either jump down by yourself or be thrown down by Lao Tzu twice. The bearded man said loudly.

Wang Lie crossed his arms and looked at this big man on the side, although he deliberately behaved vulgarly, but Wang Lie still saw from his breathing, standing posture, and the way he held a knife that this person was not an ordinary water bandit, where is there a top master who is willing to fall to be a water bandit?

"Uncle, we are all begging for food, can we give us a way to live?" begged the shipowner.

"Let you get out of here is already a way for you to live, and be careful if you talk nonsense, I'll kill you all!" said the bearded man impatiently.

"Kill them all, kill them all!" said his men, all brandishing their weapons.

The ship's owner and the sailors turned pale with fright, and at last one of the sailors could not bear it anymore, and with a loud cry, jumped off the boat, and fell into the water with a pop, and saw that he was swept down by the rushing current, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

"What's the trouble?" Wang Lie sighed lightly, since he was on the boat, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by, and this person jumped out of the boat too fast.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the bearded man noticed him, and it was naturally very strange for a weak scholar in silk to be among the sailors.

On the rivers and lakes, anything that violates common sense is generally very dangerous, and the bearded man is also an old man, how can he not understand this truth, his heart sank, and said: "Uncle only robs money today, not life, give you a speedboat, get out!"

"Thank you hero, thank you hero!" the owner of the boat was so grateful that he was about to put down the life-saving boat and escape.

"Why rush. Wang Lie's voice sounded again, "Your grain is worth a lot of money, and they robbed it like this?"

"Brother Wang, it's important to save your life. If the money is gone, you can make it again, but if your life is gone, you will have nothing. The owner of the ship said.

"Really?" Wang Lie smiled: "That big man, do you think he has a point?"

If the bearded man couldn't see that Wang Lie was stirring up trouble at this time, he would have been messing around for so many years, and said coldly: "Who is Your Excellency, report your name!" (to be continued......)
