After finishing the matter in the tavern, Yang Kang bought a coffin in a nearby market town, restrained Qu Lingfeng, bought a flatbed carriage for hauling goods, put the coffin on the carriage, and then he alone

On a journey.

He wrote two letters, one to Bao Xiruo. He didn't know how long he would stay on Peach Blossom Island. He didn't want Bao Xiruo to worry, so he lied to her that he was greedy for the scenery in Jiangnan and would not be able to go back until later.

The other letter was sent to Baopulu to Sun Buer, in which he said that he had met the guards of Prince Zhao's palace and was traveling alone. This letter was sent to the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River to be more convincing.

As for Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian, their mission was to send Qu Lingfeng's daughter back to Kaifeng, and leave the little girl named Qu Feiyan to Bao Xiruo's care, which was to find a new comfort for Bao Xiruo. After Hua Zheng left,

, Bao Xiruo was depressed for a time.

Yang Kang was very surprised when he learned that the little girl's name was Qu Feiyan. This reminded him of another little girl named Qu Feiyan. The ending of that little girl was not very good. She was stabbed in the heart by a bad guy and died.

The so-called "Feiyan" has the meaning of peace and auspiciousness. It is natural for parents to give this name to their children with good intentions, but sometimes things are unpredictable.

Yang Kang couldn't care less about his emotions. He rejected Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu's request to follow them and asked them to return to Kaifeng to recuperate. After they left, Yang Kang hired a driver at the market and drove all the way to Changguo County.

go.

As the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin, he can ride a horse, but driving a carriage is undoubtedly a technical job.

When riding a horse, you only need to whip the horse's buttocks with a whip, but when driving a cart, you have to whip different parts of the horse's body to control the direction and speed of the cart. This requires very skilled techniques, otherwise it may not go forward, but backwards.

Moreover, the horses that pull carts, the horses that people ride, and the military horses are different types of horses. They are completely different in temperament and cannot be treated equally. The so-called "separate lines" are like mountains. Those who came to ancient times and could do everything can only be said to be geniuses.

Yang Kang didn't want to compete with the horse along the way, so he hired a waiter to save trouble.

Changguo County at this time was called Wengshan County in the Tang Dynasty, which was Zhoushan City in later generations. However, he did not go directly to Changguo County, but to Qingyuan Mansion.

Qingyuan Mansion was originally called Mingzhou, but in the first year of Qingyuan of 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. In order to show the magnificence of the great country, the former counties were promoted to states, and the states were promoted to prefectures. The place is still so big, but it just sounds nice.

, this is undoubtedly an act of self-deception.

For example, Baoying County was changed to Baoying Prefecture, Mingzhou was changed to Qingyuan Prefecture, etc. The Southern Song Dynasty was one of the dynasties that changed the most place names.

After Yang Kang arrived at Qingyuan Mansion, he changed carriages and men. This was his last stop as Yang Kang. He changed into white clothes. In the next few days, he could not take a shower or change clothes. It was best to

Don't sleep either, let yourself feel haggard, covered in sweat and smelly, your eyes red, and shaky.

From this moment on he was Qu Kang.

Two days later, a child with a haggard look that made people heartbroken set out from Qingyuan Mansion to Changguo County, and then from Changguo County to the bank of the East China Sea. He bought a small boat, moved the coffin to the small boat, and started to walk alone

boating.

There are thousands of small islands in the Zhoushan Archipelago. According to Qu Lingfeng's description, Taohua Island is actually not that far from the shore. It only takes half a day to reach it by rowing. Yang Kang estimated that it is only six or seven nautical miles.

At this time, he stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the depths of the sea, where the peach blossoms were in full bloom. However, it was early autumn and the peach blossoms could not be seen.

The vast sea was full of rugged waves, and Yang Kang couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

When Yang Kang went to Taohua Island, Peng Lianhu, Sha Tongtian and his party headed north. Because of Hong Qigong's warning, they did not dare to stay in the south of the Yangtze River.

On this day, they came to the edge of the Yangtze River. Beyond the Yangtze River was the territory of the Kingdom of Jin. This made them feel relieved. The Four Ghosts of the Yellow River found a ferry boat, caught the carriage on board, and set off towards the north of the Yangtze River.

The carriage carried the little girl Qu Feiyan, who the young prince had sworn to protect in the name of his ancestors. Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian did not dare to be careless, so they sat cross-legged and meditated beside the carriage, while the four ghosts of the Yellow River stood guard.

When the boat reached the center of the river, it suddenly swayed from side to side. When Sha Tongtian listened, he immediately exclaimed that the boat was leaking. As the leader of the Yellow River Gang, he made a living on the water. He knew what was going on when he saw it.

Something happened.

The Four Ghosts of the Yellow River ran over to look for the boatman, but the boatman had already jumped into the river and was missing.

As it went deeper into the water, the ferry shook more and more violently, and it capsized in a moment. 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. She was about to be swept away by the rapids.

"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 these four people were not very good at martial arts, they had excellent water skills. However, at this time, they were in the middle of the river, and the water flow was fast, and the little girl disappeared in an instant.

The ferry had capsized. Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu could not move their arms and could only rely on their two feet to flutter in the water. Peng Lianhu was a gangster from Hebei and was not familiar with water, so he kept shouting for help. Seeing this, the four ghosts of the Yellow River hurried back to help Sha Tongtian.

With Peng Lianhu, the little girl disappeared into the river.

Somewhere downstream where the ferry capsized, an old monk with a white beard was walking along the river. Suddenly he saw a red man flashing across the river. He broke off a branch and threw it towards the river. Then he jumped up and swept across the river.

Crossing the rapids on the riverside, I borrowed a little strength from the branches, and the next moment I picked up a little girl from the river.

At this time, the old monk's strength was exhausted, he fell into the river and moved forward along the current.

In Kaifeng Mansion, Wanyan Honglie held the note in his hand and frowned. At this time, he didn't want to go back to the palace. He just wanted to hide in the government office and be quiet. He was afraid of seeing Bao Xiruo, and he was afraid that Bao Xiruo would ask if he was okay.

No news from Akang.

Am I doing this wrong?

Why do you have to go to Niujia Village? What is your relationship with the Beggar Clan? Do you know your life experience? Do you want to seek revenge from me?

He looked at a piece of paper next to him. It was densely written with small characters, which were the words repeated by the coachman. Among them was a name that stimulated Wanyan Honglie, and that was Guo Jing.

Wanyan Honglie once heard Bao Xiruo talk about the engagement between the Guo and Yang families. The child of that Guo family was named Guo Jing. It turns out that the child of that family is still alive in the world. Is this a coincidence?

The two children went to that place. Are they acting for me?

Wanyan Honglie was so doubtful, but all this has passed, whether it is acting or not is not important anymore, anyway...

He opened the note in his hand again, and there were only eight words on it: The boat capsized in the middle of the river, life or death unknown.
Chapter completed!
