Chapter 1614 Brother Chu Bi actually called me a sweetheart?! (Please subscribe and vote)
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke stood side by side on a high ridge on the south bank of the Yellow River.
The wind on the shore seemed extremely cold at the moment, and the sound of the waves was rumbling.
In the south direction of the mainstay, Cheng Chubi noticed that there were whirlpools swirling one after another on the water surface, and rapids were rolling.
Cheng Chubi took a breath of cold air, and Li Ke's expression next to him was not much better, and he murmured in a low voice.
"Brother, I remember that I once saw records about Sanmenxia in the "Shui Jing Zhu" written by Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty. There is something in it.
"There are more than five households below the main pillar, and within a hundred and twenty miles, there are rocks in the river..."
…There are 19 beaches in total, and the water flow is as strong as the Three Gorges, causing damage to boats and ships. It has been a problem since ancient times.’
When I see it now, it turns out that it is both a reef and an undercurrent. No wonder people say that crossing the Sanmen Gorge will lead to a narrow escape from death."
Cheng Chubi nodded his head. There were water on both sides of the river, thousands of walls, jagged rocks, and dangerous terrain.
There are two stone islands in the middle of the river that divide the river into three branches, which are called "Human Gate", "Ghost Gate" and "Shen Gate" respectively, so it is called "Sanmenxia".
There is a mainstay below facing the three gates. The river rushes out of the door and rushes straight into the mainstay.
It is so dangerous that it brings great risks to the normal navigation of canal ships. No wonder I have heard before that when canal ships pass through Sanmenxia, ​​they often sink and suffer great losses.
As a last resort, we could only take a land route, bypass Sanmenxia, ​​and then continue upstream to Chang'an via waterway.
This is a forced change of career, after all, no one is willing to venture into this narrow escape from death.
At this time, Li De hurried over and said helplessly to Li Ke. "Your Highness, I have already gone to inquire. Once the spring and summer come here, it is not possible to sail."
"Because the river here is extremely narrow, if you take a boat into the water during this flood season, someone will be without a boat and the result will be overturning it."
"Only during the drier rainy season, when the water flow slows down, can one dare to approach the mainstay."
"That's it, brother Chu Bi, it seems we can only look back and find a solution."
"Whatever, actually, it's not a big deal to me whether I can leave my name on this pillar. If I have the time, I'll do it. If I don't, I won't.
Hey hey hey... Dear brother, why are you walking so fast? Be careful of the pole, be careful of the pole..."
Li Ke's face turned green with anger, I was aroused by you, and now you actually tell me this.
When he heard Brother Chu Bi greeting him at the top of his voice, he even called him such an inappropriate name as "little heart".
Li Ke immediately tightened his anus, tightened his legs and raised his buttocks, turned his head warily, and was about to assume a defensive posture.
Then I felt something licking my feet, and I heard an oops.
As soon as they followed him, they stared blankly at His Highness the King of Wu, who was personally praised by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Some unethical guy threw it on a bamboo pole on the side of the mountain, and then rolled straight into the ditch next to it...
"Ah, ah... ah..." Every time he screamed, it meant that he rolled once, falling for three and a half weeks, but his entry into the ditch was not perfect.
Of course, after all, he is wrestling and not diving, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the angle of entry.
Li Ke, who was lying in the ditch with pain all over his body and grass juice and dust on his face, looked at the blue sky with a lifeless expression.
I feel like my life has been running wildly on a downhill road since I met Brother Chubi.
I don't know when it will happen, but it will be like now, falling directly into the ditch and unable to get up.
Several of His Highness King Wu's personal followers witnessed all this with their mouths open. They didn't react until this moment and hurriedly rolled over and crawled to the ground.
"Oh, Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay? Doctor...ah, yes, Young Master Cheng, come here and take a look at Your Highness."
Cheng Chubi wiped his face and picked up the long pole that someone had lost here. It should have been used to support boats.
As soon as he lowered his head and saw Li Ke being helped up by his followers, Cheng Chubi felt that iron was not as good as steel.
"Alas... I told you, dear brother, to be careful of the pole, be careful of the pole. You didn't listen to my warning and looked down at the road. You actually turned your head to look at me. Why don't you look at the sky?"
Li Ke looked at the long pole with a dark look on his face, and then shook his head sadly for a long time.
"It's me, little brother. Alas, I consider myself unlucky..." I'm really embarrassed to say that I misunderstood, if I dare to say it.
Li Ke deeply understood that in that case, bigger jokes and more black history would bring more shame to his future.
The only good thing now is that no one knows that they have just misunderstood being careful as being careful.
Looking at Li Ke who had a depressed expression and low will, Cheng Chubi couldn't bear to criticize him harshly.
"Okay, dear brother, come up quickly, um...are you injured anywhere?"
"I have a headache. It feels like I hit a rock here. Hiss...it hurts."
"I know you're in pain, please don't repeat it." Cheng Chubi angrily released his pressure on the bulge that had been knocked out of his head.
"What else do you feel? Feeling dizzy or something like that? If so, tell me immediately."
"I'm not faint, I just feel a little nauseous... nothing else."
"Okay, just sit here and rest for a while, so I can check it carefully."
After careful examination by Cheng Chuqing, the best general surgeon in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Chubi patted the dust in his hands and stood up.
"But with such a small height, there shouldn't be any major problems from the fall. At most, there will only be some flesh injuries. Well, it seems that there is just a slight concussion..."
In this way, His Highness King Wu, who suffered a slight concussion due to carelessness with the pole, once again embarked on the journey to Luoyang together with Cheng Sanlang.
But at this moment, they are not far from Luoyang...
#####
In Chang'an, Zheng Yuanshou, who has been serving as an official for several years and has snow-white beard and hair, is stroking his long beard and squinting his eyes tightly.
Looking at the eldest son who was standing in front of him with a puzzled expression, the eldest son, who was already in his fifties, muttered unhappily.
"Shouldn't Your Highness be on the same side as His Majesty? Moreover, if the Tang Dynasty really moves its capital to Luoyang.
For us, the Zheng family in Xingyang, the benefits are self-evident."
"Why should we make things difficult for His Highness King Wu and the merchants of Han and Tang Dynasties?"
"Okay, as a father, you don't know that it will be very beneficial to my Zheng family, but you, Dalang, must not forget that the relationship between His Highness the King of Wei and our Zheng family in Xingyang is too close."
"If we make His Highness the King of Wei displeased because of such trivial matters, it will leave a rift in our cooperative relationship with His Highness the King of Wei. Do you understand?"
Speaking of this, Zheng Yuanshou, who was still stranded in Chang'an even though he had become an official, and worked conscientiously for the Zheng family in Xingyang, coughed twice.
