After finally coaxing Chuntao back, Bai Jianglan ordered someone to help Qin Sang.
"Brother Qin, Miss Chuntao is also worried about the safety of the young lady. I have no choice but to worry about it. You go to the stern cabin to rest for the night. I will order someone to bring you some food later. I will not take you off the boat until we reach Sanwu City Ferry. Sanwu City
The North-South thoroughfare is a place that merchants must pass through, and there may be fellow Qin brothers..."
Qin Sang was very grateful. He thought of the two money bags on his body and took them out at once, saying: "Qin Sang can't repay Brother Bai for saving his life. These gold and silver came from the two bandits I killed. I just hope Bai Bai can repay him for saving his life."
Big brother doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty…”
"Why!"
Bai Jianglan looked displeased and pushed Qin Sang's hand back.
"In the past, Mr. Bai had low martial arts skills and traveled around the world. He was helped by many chivalrous people, and he is what he is today. Now he is just imitating the sages and doing some small acts of righteousness. Don't talk about money anymore, otherwise you will be thrown out of the boat!
"
Qin Sang held up her hands with a stern look on her face.
The man who supported him smiled and said: "Boss Bai's salary is over a thousand taels a year, how can he covet your little money? You risked your life to get it, so keep it to go home and marry a wife."
There are several rooms in the stern cabin. It was originally a resting place for the boatmen. Now it is full of sundries. I found a relatively clean room. It was filled with straw and a quilt was sent down from it. Although it was simple, it was
Qin Sang couldn't even think about it in the past ten months.
After Qin Sang settled down, Bai Jianglan took the people back to the boat. Soon someone brought down a pair of old clothes and hot food. Qin Sang wolfed down the food without tasting anything.
After putting on his clothes, wrapping himself up in bedclothes, and thinking wildly for a while, Qin Sang fell into a deep sleep.
Before going to bed, I couldn't help but touch the ebony sword and a few things on my chest, but I couldn't help but take them out and look at them.
…
A dreamless night.
Qin Sang opened his eyes, feeling the swaying cabin, and felt more energetic than ever.
My stomach is growling again and I don't know what time it is.
Qin Sang sat up, found a wooden stick, stood up slowly, tapped his feet, and was able to walk slowly with the help of the wooden stick. He couldn't help but marvel at the magic of internal strength again.
Moving step by step, he walked to the bottom of the ladder in the stern cabin. He heard shouts coming from above, and a man's head popped out. It was the person who helped him yesterday.
"Brother Qin wakes up!"
The man jumped in and said angrily: "Your legs haven't healed yet, why did you get up on your own? I've been staying up there, and I'll come down if you shout. Come on, get down and let me help you up. It's still early,
It’s not yet time for dinner. Boss Bai is teaching martial arts to the brothers. The boat has passed the Jiudien Gorge and is not far from Sanwu City. I can take you off the boat after breakfast..."
Qin Sang calmly looked at this man. He was about the same age as himself, had a lively temper, and kept talking.
"What do you call this big brother?"
"My name is Zhou Ning. I am good at water. People call me water monkey. After passing Sanwu City, the water will slow down. Unfortunately, you will have to get off the boat soon and you will not be able to eat the river fish I touched. Let me tell you, the fish in the Wuling River
The nine-tailed fish is as fresh as it gets, but if it doesn’t eat the bait, the net won’t be able to catch it. Except for me, few people can touch it..."
"It turns out to be Brother Zhou." Seeing that his eyes were getting brighter and brighter as he talked, Qin Sang quickly interrupted, "I wonder how much Brother Zhou knows about Sanwu City. I'm a newbie here. Can you give me some advice?"
"no problem!"
While talking, the two climbed onto the deck.
It was at dawn that heavy fog arose on the river, covering the green mountains on the bank. The fog was white as far as the eye could see, and the river wind was very cold.
On the deck, the strong men I saw yesterday were all wearing standard short-sleeved shirts, with the word "东" written on their backs in white paint. They were not afraid of the cold. They were lining up to box, and the hot sweat on their heads melted into the mist.
inside.
"The ninth form, the angry dragon destroys the mountain!"
Bai Jianglan was holding a short stick and had a stern look on his face. If everyone made the slightest mistake, they would be hit with a stick on the back, but no one screamed in pain or resisted.
"This Sanwu City leads the Wuling River water system. Due to its location, people from several countries in the southwest have to pass by Sanwu City when they come to Sui Dynasty. There are countless merchants, and there are people from all three religions and nine streams, especially at the first ferry.
It’s the most confusing. Brother Qin, you have no martial arts skills. You must be careful when you get off the boat. Hide your money bag and don’t let it slip. Otherwise, you will definitely be in trouble. You should go home as soon as you find your fellow villagers..."
Under Qin Sang's calm guidance, Zhou Ning became very excited and kept talking. Qin Sang also listened carefully.
Only then did Qin Sang realize that this was no longer the Ning country where his hometown was.
The Great Sui Dynasty and Ning State were adjacent to each other. The Great Sui Dynasty was located in the northeast of Ning State. The two countries were separated by several steep mountains and the Wuling River, a natural chasm. They had always been relatively stable.
Those bandits crossed the mountains and ridges all the way north, and they didn't know why.
The Wuling River branches off into several tributaries where Sanwu City is located. These tributaries are all powerful. The entire Wuling water system flows through several countries. It is for this reason that Sanwu City is so special.
In addition, there is a royal palace in Sanwu City, and King Zhenshui, one of the eight kings of the Sui Dynasty, sits in the city.
With the water-suppressing king's army, the city is stable, and merchants from all over the world are willing to come here to trade.
The first ferry is the largest ferry in front of Sanwu City. If Qin Sang wants to go home, it is easiest to find merchants from his hometown there.
Listening to Zhou Ning's chatter, Qin Sang's eyes kept turning to Bai Jianglan and the others, and gradually saw some clues. Qin Sang had only seen such strict discipline in soldiers. In addition, he heard Chuntao accidentally hear it last night.
It was said that they were sent by the prince to protect the young lady. Are these people the guards of the prince?
Qin Sang glanced at the Flower Hall. Zhou Ning had just said that there were thirteen counties in the Sui Dynasty, and there were eight princes in total. Their status was noble, second only to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. I wonder what the identity of the eldest lady was, and she was worthy of the prince sending troops to escort her.
"Zhou Ning!"
Zhou Ning was excited, his temperament suddenly became sharp, "Here!"
"Enter the queue!"
"yes!"
Zhou Ning ran back to the team, Bai Jianglan came over, Qin Sang struggled to stand up and greeted him, "Brother Bai..."
Bai Jianglan waved his hand to Qin Sang not to be polite, "Did you sleep well last night? Brothers Qin's laughter was made by your simple kung fu."
"These elder brothers are all heroes, and Qin Sang is very envious of them! Brother Bai, if Qin Sang starts learning martial arts now, can he become as powerful as you?"
Qin Sang said seriously that he was indeed envious and wanted to learn.
Bai Jianglan laughed and said: "Who am I? Those innate masters in the world can release their true energy and generate sword light from their inner strength. There is even a legend that one innate master killed an immortal master. That's what they are really powerful about."
"Can an immortal master be killed by a martial artist?" Qin Sang was stunned and couldn't wait to ask, "Has Brother Bai ever seen an immortal master?"
Bai Jianglan shook his head, seeing through Qin Sang's intention, and advised: "How many of the immortal masters and divine dragons have seen the beginning but not the tail? There are countless people who seek immortality in the world, and they end up wasting their lives in the mountains and rivers without achieving anything. Don't fall into obsession.
Think about it, you wasted a lot of time."
