Chapter 1158: Waterways

Yanzhou's entourage took several days, and he was assassinated and almost died, but Chang Yu still felt that it was worth it.

got more than 100,000 stone grain, 500,000 silver, and slapped Kong Fu in the face, even if he was stabbed a few more times, he felt that it was a good deal, and he wouldn't die anyway.

After the round with Li Muxian, Chang Yu did not cross the river to the west, according to the original plan, he wanted to go to Jining to meet Li Yan, by the way, to beat the governor of the East River, and then go south along the canal.

It's just that the army had arrived in Jining yesterday, and when he arrived at night, he changed his plan and went south along the Si River, and if nothing else, he would meet Li Yan and others at the canal intersection a day later.

There was a drizzle in the sky, Chang Yu's wounds were not healed and he couldn't ride a horse, Lianxin was supposed to ride with him, but he was called out by Sujing to practice riding, and his words were harsh and reprimanded, Lianxin's tears were faintly visible, and he didn't dare to cry when he held back, and everyone didn't dare to persuade him.

Li Muxian whispered to Chang Yu next to the car about what he had done in the past few days, and was shocked when he heard about Chang Yu's assassination, and only hated that he was not there at the time, otherwise the murderer would not be able to get close, and even the bats would not be able to escape that night.

Chen Wangting and Qiao Sanxiu were very unhappy when they heard this, but the two of them knew that they were derelict in their duties, and secondly, they also knew that this Taoist priest was arrogant on weekdays, so they didn't say anything.

But it was Monk Haihong, his eyes narrowed: "The adult was seriously injured in less than two days and recovered most of the time, but what is the panacea?" ”

Chang Yu seemed to smile: "Monk doesn't know that Bendu has become an incorruptible body of King Kong?" ”

Monk Haihong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled faintly: "It turns out that the adult is cultivating my Buddhist martial arts."

Chang Yu laughed: "Great monk, I heard that you have also practiced the incorruptible body of Vajra, right?" ”

"Do you believe it?"

Chang Yu shook his head: "Don't believe it!" ”

The monk smiled but said nothing, patted the horse and left.

Wu Zhong's horse approached, with a look of disdain, and he pulled out the red tassel on his waist and flicked his fingers, buzzing: "King Kong's incorruptible body? Whoever sticks out his head and asks me to try it."

"Roll the calf" Chang Yu shouted angrily, put down the curtain and lay down.

At dusk, the rain was dripping, walking for more than 20 miles, all around the wilderness and not seeing the village, Chang Yu saw that Lianxin was wet like a drowning chicken, and he was embarrassed, so he let him get in the car and ride together, but he didn't allow it, but when he saw the little eunuch frowning, he responded.

"Change into clean clothes, don't catch a cold" Chang Yu got out of the car and took the hat and turned over the horse and walked slowly, and said to Su Jing You can also ride the car, after all, it is a summer day with thin clothes and close to the water, Su Jing is a woman no matter what, and the curves are full of eyes, which attracts the eyes of the guards.

"No, I'm used to walking the rivers and lakes, and I'm not so squeamish."

"Adults are also kind-hearted...... Li Muxian just wanted to persuade him, but he was choked by Su Jing angrily: "What's in your way?"

"You...... I don't know what to do! Li Muxian was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away, while Wu Zhong smiled evilly, and whispered to the person next to him: "This bull's nose is very bad, and he always wants to spoil our good things."

Guo Ren and a few guards next to him laughed extremely obscenely, their eyes were aimed at Su Jing, and Chang Yu, who was watching, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Walk more than ten miles, the sky is getting darker and the rain is not stopping, finally found a small village to rest, here is west of the Si River and east of the White Horse River, but the White Horse River has dried up and has no water.

"It's not raining much, do you want to rest in the village at night or continue on your way?" During the meal, Li Muxian asked Chang Yu.

Chang Yu looked up at the night sky, and the drizzle was the most disturbing: "We don't have to be busy meeting with Li Yan, let's go directly to Xuzhou."

"If you go straight to Xuzhou, it is better to take the waterway faster" Li Muxian proposed: "Nanyang Lake from Sihe River to Jining South all the way south through Dushan Lake, Weishan Lake will come to Xuzhou."

Chang Yu was slightly surprised: "The Taoist is so familiar with the waterways of Shandong's boundary?" ”

Li Muxian smiled slightly: "Poor Dao knows astronomy and knows ......"

"You lay a bird's egg, obviously I just chatted with the villagers over there and just heard about it" Wu Zhong pursed his lips, everyone burst into laughter, Li Muxian's face was red: "You ...... you"

It's just that in this dark night, a big boat was found in a remote place to ferry his group of nearly thirty people.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that four big boats were hired at a big town ferry near Nanyang Lake, and the people and horses were changed to waterways, in fact, the speed of the boat was not fast only by manpower, at least Chang Yu felt so, but when the boat was in the water, looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, he also had a different mood.

The speed of the waterway is not by its speed, but by the distance and convenience, after all, in ancient times, waterway transportation was far more developed than land transportation.

"Inquire about it, have you heard that there are officers and soldiers passing by in Jining recently?" Chang Yu sat under the pergola at the bow of the boat and shook his fan and chatted with the boatman, and the boatman said with certainty: "I heard that there are more than 100,000 people, and there are dozens of miles along the canal south, and the nearby bandits and water thieves and heroes are far away from the limelight."

He must think of himself as a good man, Chang Yu guessed, after all, he is twenty or thirty people, and ordinary people really can't tell whether they are thieves or soldiers just by looking at their appearance.

Before sunset, the boat entered Nanyang Lake, and suddenly there were more boats on the water, large and small, long and wide, and there were even flower boats that carried goods.

Flower boats? Where did the flower boat come from? Qiao Sanxiu is an honest man, he stared at the water and didn't see the doorway, in his impression, the flower boat should be the kind of woman with colorful silk and bamboo, and flowers and branches beckoning.

"This is not the Qinhuai River, but it doesn't have that scale" Li Muxian raised his hand and pointed to an inconspicuous boat not far away: "See the lantern on the bow of the boat, tell you that it is for a living, specially designed to relieve boredom for boatmen or passengers."

"Hey, the head of the road is really omniscient, it's just very clear" Chang Yu seemed to be smiling, Li Muxian said: "The poor road has never set foot in it, it's just ...... heard about it."

The darker it became, and everyone laughed.

Sailing at night, there is no fun, the river breeze is cooler than the land, the boatman made dinner, although the grilled fish and fish soup are not carefully cooked but also delicious, at least the dry food they brought is much more delicious.

After the meal, everyone gossiped until late at night, fell asleep unconsciously, woke up with one foot, and asked where they were.

"Just out of Zhaoyang Lake, there is Weishan Lake in front of it." The boatman said, pointing to the boundless water due south.

Scold! Everyone was amazed, unconsciously nearly 100 miles in one night, this waterway is really fast and convenient, of course, they are passenger ships faster than cargo ships.

Weishan Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the north, rich in fish and beautiful scenery, Chang Yu has the intention to visit the then, but has to pass by, the boatman told if you go to Xuzhou to change the canal here.

The Grand Canal in Jining to Xuzhou is side by side with the four lakes, there are several waterways to figure out, Chang Yu's boat can also find the waterway with the canal if it enters Weishan Lake, but it has to go farther around.

After thinking about it, Chang Yu, who was in a hurry, still decided to take the canal directly to Xuzhou nearby, after all, this is not the time to visit the mountains and rivers.

The boat enters the confluence of the lake and river, the water surface becomes crowded, and the shore is also very lively, it is still a market, and the boatman has the consent of Chang Yu to dock the boat to buy some daily necessities.

Chang Yu and his entourage also took the opportunity to go ashore to stretch their waists, and led the war horse ashore to eat some grass nearby.
