As Fang Jie expected, the journey could be treated as a relaxing trip to survive without any trouble. Although after entering the Yangtze River from the Luo River north, all the wars passed along the way, the water surface is still safe now. Especially Luo Tu's navy has surrendered to Fang Jie, and the imperial navy still has to stay by the side of the tiger to support the troops who fight against Jin Shixiong, so there are not many ships coming and going on the Yangtze River and are not affected by the war.

A few days later, the two ships finally left Luoshui and began to travel east along the Yangtze River. The sailors could also relax. The river was a rare Qingping, and even Fang Jie wondered whether there was no war in this world. Or maybe it was just a brief calm, and this river would soon usher in war.

"What are you doing?"

Wanyan Yunshu rarely took a boat, and the last time he followed the Black Flag Army south and entered Huangyang Road, he did not. Even last time he went south, he crossed and came soon. But this time he had to walk on the waterway for at least one and a half months, so he couldn't help but feel that it was strange everywhere. She pointed to a boat parked in the distance and asked curiously, not understanding why those people were throwing things into the river.

“That’s a new ship.”

Mu Xiaoyao explained to her: "There are always many customs for people living by the river. This is to respect the river god... According to convention, when a new ship is launched, you must first worship the river god and respect some things, so that the river god can bless the ship without encountering any strong winds and waves."

“Will it work?”

She asked.

"Shh"

Mu Xiaoyao shrewd: "Don't let the sailors hear this, they are the most taboo. Don't mention it in front of the sailors in the future, as they will feel it is unlucky. Whether it works or not, the ancestors have done this for generations, even if it is just a comfort, they cannot be denied."

"Yeah yeah"

Wanyan Yunshu nodded quickly: "I remember."

Mu Xiaoyao smiled and lowered his voice, "Actually, this is just a kind of hope for people. It's like when a drought comes, people will sacrifice to the dragon god for rain. Will it really work? I'm afraid it won't... But people living in the river firmly believe that there is a river god in the river, so they should try not to question them. It's better for people to have a hope in their hearts, but I feel it's more real than begging for war not to spread."

"I understand that it is like the people of our Northern Liao tribe who pay tribute to the mountain gods every year, hoping to protect the gods of 100,000 mountains. But in fact, if there is a mountain god, he never paid attention to our Northern Liao tribe. Over the years, he has lived in such a cold and hard place, never warmed up. And he has to face the oppression of the Mongols and Yuan people, and his life is extremely hard. Fortunately, he moved to the Central Plains, and his brother said in his letter that the people of the Northern Liao tribe were very happy."

Mu Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, then smiled: "So they should cherish this hard-earned happiness."

Wanyan Yunshu understood Mu Xiaoyao's meaning: "After going back, I will advise my father. This happiness is really hard-won. If the people in the Mu family really want him to send Han cavalry to help the war, don't agree. I am afraid that if the tribe members are involved in the war in the Central Plains, once the Han cavalry suffers heavy losses, then the remaining ones in the tribe will be a group of old, weak, women and children, and aren't they bullied? This is no different from the Mongolian Yuan people who always make excuses to massacre men in our tribe. It's just that one treats our Northern Liao tribe as cattle and sheep, and the other treats our Northern Liao tribe as swords and guns."

"So Fangjie is worried."

Mu Xiaoyao said, shook his head and dared not think about what kind of disaster it would be for the Northern Liao clan if the Northern Liao Clan was really involved in the war. The Northern Liao clan was originally not strong. Once the Han cavalry went to war, how could the remaining people face the enemy? You should know that just the beauties of the Northern Liao clan are enough to arouse the covetousness of some people. Besides, the Northern Liao people still have many war horses.

“I used to think…”

Wanyan Yunshu smiled, but there was no happiness in his smile: "My people finally left the bitter and cold mountain, finally stopped being bullied by the Mongols, and finally realized their dream that they had been looking forward to for many years... After entering the Central Plains, they should become particularly happy. Every day, they can feel the warmth of the sunshine, and every day, they can open the window, and every day, they can see the green all over their eyes..."

"It's not just bare snow-capped mountains, not just frozen rivers... The people sang songs, holding hoes and sickles, working in the fields with some clumsy but satisfied, carefully removing the weeds for fear of breaking the delicate seedlings. Although they have not adapted to this kind of life, they must be particularly happy. The food they harvested in the first year may not be enough, but they will not complain or be sad. From the moment they see the food, they will definitely cherish the food more than they cherish gold."

"When they come back from the field, men will open their clothes and complain that Zhongyuan is really hot, but they are very careful to feel the joy of sweating. They will be like the Han people, make a pot of tea, sit on a lounge chair, shake a palm-leaf fan, and listen to cicadas that they have never heard of before. They will be used to taking a nap in the warm sun, fishing in the unicorn river, rain, stuffy and hot... and alternating seasons."

Wanyan Yunshu had never seen these scenes, but she knew that it must be like this. She understood her ethnic group and the bitter cold of the 100,000 mountains.

"So, I won't allow anyone to ruin this beauty!"

Wanyan Yunshu clenched his fists, and there was a glory in his eyes that had never appeared before, so hot.

...

...

Xiang Qingniu was used to looking at the scenery at the bow of the boat. Fang Jie found that his gaze was always floating on the fishing boats. After observing along his gaze for a long time, Fang Jie finally discovered the mystery... There were always some generous young women on the fishing boats, who could sweat profusely in winter with very few clothes.

"Does it look good?"

Fang Jie squatted beside Xiang Qingniu, squatting and trembling, as if he was like an instigator: "There are more beautiful things in the brothel. Do you want me to order a detour to Jiangdu? It is said that that place is the most beautiful place in the world. You can find a beautiful city in a casual pleasure boat... Don't worry about silver, I'll leave!"

"You get up!"

Xiang Qingniu said seriously: "As the Taoist Lord and the leader of the Taoist Sect, I am so bored and shameless? Didn't you find that I am observing the people's sentiments seriously? I understand the hardships of the people? Look, this is the beauty of the working people. Only a dirty villain like you will think of such dirty things!"

"Then forget it."

Fang Jie said with some regret: "I originally planned to make the accountants in the Daying area allocate a sum of silver to make a special payment for Daozun. It seems that this money is unnecessary. I think it can be transferred to Daozun's pension special payment and I will give it to you later."

"Pooh!"

Xiang Qingniu glared at him: "But... is there really such a special money?"

"Absolutely no"

Fang Jie said seriously: "I'll just tease you and think it's true."

Xiang Qingniu sighed and said, "Do you think it's bad for the gods to play with such an honest, kind and respectable Taoist master?"

"I just thought it was fun."

Fang Jie smiled: "But then again, you haven't told me why you are so afraid of getting along with women. Is there any miserable childhood? Or is there any lingering love story that is hard to let go? Is there a woman in your life that leaves you with indelible hurt? Tell me quickly, I'm so bored along the way, saying something unhappy makes me happy."

Xiang Qingniu looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "Are you forcing me to duel with you?"

Fang Jie shook his head: "Don't be so serious, it's not fun to fight."

Xiang Qingniu said angrily: "If I could beat you, he would have beaten you into a pig's head."

Fang Jie expressed his understanding: "Well, I know that you are absolutely not lying to this point... You don't know, it's the most interesting thing to see someone who wants to beat you but can't beat you."

Xiang Qingniu looked at Fang Jie and sighed: "I'll try it out after a while, Chen Xiaoru, your subordinate..."

Fang Jie laughed loudly, and was laughing, suddenly his face changed.

In the distance, a black shadow rushed from the river, stepping on the small boat on the river, heading towards this side like a big eagle. His identity is not as light as agile, but it is definitely fast enough. Many small boats were trampled by him, but they did not hurt anyone. When Fang Jie saw the man clearly, the five cyclones condensed in his cuffs quietly dissipated.

With a bang, the man landed on the bow of the ship, and the big ship trembled for a moment.

"If you step on my boat, you will definitely pay."

Fang Jie looked at the man and said.

"Is it okay to write white strips?"

The person who just landed on the boat asked seriously.

Fang Jie shook his head: "It's not okay to make white strips, but you can owe the debt to the meat-pay..."

He pointed at Xiang Qingniu: "He is panicking."

Xiang Qingniu spat: "Bah, Master Dao, I don't have this taste!"

The visitor laughed and sat down cross-legged on the bow of the boat: "Hurry, come and have some good wine and food. I'm still in a hurry to go back and start a war with Jin Shixiong. If I hadn't happened to look for beauty on the fishing boat with a clairvoyance on the riverside today, I wouldn't have seen you two on the bow of the boat. To be honest, I didn't dare to be sure at the beginning, but after looking carefully, I was sure that it was you."

The person who came sat down carelessly and threw the palm-leaf fan behind him aside. Who else could this iconic ugly and iconic palm-leaf fan be if it weren't a tiger?

"You are also a prince now. Why are you running around without any trouble?"

He asked the answer.

Fang Jie replied: "Take your wife back to your parents' home... do you believe it?"

...

...

"What a coincidence."

Puhu took a sip of wine and stuffed a large piece of cooked beef into his mouth: "I'm fighting every day, and Jin Shixiong didn't know why he didn't attack today. I stood by the river and looked at the scenery when I was free, and happened to see you two."

Fang Jie expressed his understanding: "This thing called Dao Zun was just watching the scenery like you."

Xiang Qingniu squirted out a sip of wine and glared at Fang Jie fiercely.

"Are you two showing off your love?"

Puhu looked at Xiang Qingniu and laughed at Fang Jie's resentful eyes.

Xiang Qingniu sniffed: "Mr. Hu, can you ask me first if you don't know how to use words? If the word "Dear Love" is used on me and him, how many beautiful female heroes in the world will be heartbroken? Even if you don't think about me, you should also think about the female heroes in the world who love me. Once these four words you said are spread and make everyone mistakenly think that I don't love women and men, do you know how many women will not survive? I am a public lover, don't ruin my bright future!"

Puhu looked at Fang while eating meat: "Do you have another name called Volkswagen?"

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment and then moved back: "It's not funny at all!"

Xiang Qingniu laughed, and Puhu came over to express his kindness alone. He had no hostility, but appeared on Fang Jie's boat, as happy as if he met an old friend. The three of them were drinking and eating meat while talking nonsense, saying something irrelevant, but they all laughed heartlessly.
