Although he was in La'an to do some serious business, it was his first time in such a famous city, so Shen Yi still spent some time wandering around the city.
Especially West Lake.
He had been to the West Lake in another world many times, but this was the first time in his life that he saw the West Lake with his own eyes.
Walking by the West Lake, I saw a lot of cruise ships on the West Lake. There were nearly a hundred cruise ships visible to the naked eye.
In a prosperous place like Lin'an Prefecture, the most indispensable thing is talented people and beautiful women. At this time, many young men and young ladies were taking a boat cruise on the West Lake. From time to time, there were sounds of poetry and lyrics, and bursts of silk and bamboo could be heard from some boats. The sound of music, carried into the ears by the wind, seems quite emotional.
Jiang Sheng followed his young master, lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Sir, would you like to find a boat for you and invite two singing men to take you on a tour of the lake?"
Shen Yi turned back and glanced at the man, and said angrily: "It's not the Qinhuai River, you have to pay off the slave boy!"
Jiang Sheng coughed and said with a smile: "Master, before coming to the An Mansion, I asked others about the West Lake..."
"There are also some who can sing."
He said mysteriously: "You wait here, I will go find it for you right away."
"There is no need for a singer."
Shen Yi stretched out and said lazily: "I still have business to do tomorrow, but I don't have the heart to listen to music. Go get a boat and let's go for a swim on the lake to relax."
Jiang Sheng said "yes" and went down to find a boat for Shen Yi.
As the West Lake is the grand scene of Lin'an Prefecture, there are naturally a lot of boatmen doing business. It didn't take long for Jiang Sheng to find a awning boat. After Shen Yi jumped on the boat, he found a comfortable position and lay half down. Underneath the awning boat.
It is late summer now, and the weather is hot, but the lake breeze blowing on the West Lake is still very pleasant.
Mr. Shen has been running around here and there these days and has dealt with a lot of official matters. He is indeed a little tired now. After looking at the scenery for a while, he lay down under the awning and fell asleep. He was sleeping soundly and lost his mind. I vaguely heard a voice coming from far away.
"That black boy!"
Shen Yi naturally did not think that the voice was calling him, so he ignored it until Jiang Sheng squatted next to him, reached out and pulled his arm, and said: "Master, there is a group of people next to you..."
"It seems that the visitor is ill-intentioned..."
Then Shen Yi opened his eyes in a daze and glanced at a slightly larger cruise ship about ten meters away from the awning boat. There were about ten or twenty people on the cruise ship.
Among these twenty people, there are musicians who specialize in playing musical instruments, and the remaining ten young people are sitting on several tables, seeming to be talking about poetry, and there are a few laughs from time to time.
The voice that was rude to Shen Yi just now came from this cruise ship.
Jiang Sheng was a little angry, lowered his head slightly and said: "Sir, these people are rude to you!"
Shen Yi looked down at the back of his hand and smiled helplessly: "I have indeed gotten a bit tanned in the past two years. There is no need to argue with these young people. Tell the boatman that we will dock."
Jiang Sheng muttered softly.
It probably means that you are younger than those people.
However, he still did not dare to disobey Shen Yi's wishes and inform the boatman to dock. The boatman did not dare to offend these wealthy young men, so he nodded quickly.
On the cruise ship, a woman was playing the pipa. Her face was covered with a white gauze and her appearance could not be seen. However, she was quite plump and looked like she was not dressed like a girl from a good family.
When the woman saw that Shen Yi's ship was docking away from them, she collected her pipa, stood up, walked up to the young master, and laughed softly: "Mr. Zhou, how dare there be someone in Zhejiang who dares to deny you face like this? ?”
Just now when Shen Yi was still sleeping, this woman told Mr. Zhou that it would be interesting to call Shen Yi up to tease him when he was alone.
Mr. Zhou is only twenty-three or four years old this year. He is the second son of Zhou Yishan, the governor of Zhejiang Province. It can be said that he is not good at literature and martial arts. He only brings a group of people out to have fun every day.
This age is the best to save face, so Mr. Zhou hugged the woman into his arms, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Today, I will let the beauty take a look at the face of Mr. Zhou."
After that, he looked at the awning boat not far ahead and waved lightly: "Crash into it."
"Knock him over!"
This cruise ship is originally Mr. Zhou's ship. Because of his competitiveness, it has not collided with other ships. After all, in Lin'an Prefecture, a Jiangnan water town, basically everyone knows how to swim, but it really knocked over other people's ships. , it’s not that big of a deal, at most it’s just a matter of paying a few strings of money afterwards.
So, after receiving the order from Mr. Zhou, the boatmen who were driving the boat immediately adjusted the sails, changed the direction, and tried their best to ram Shen Yi's small wooden boat!
Mr. Shen was still on the awning boat at the moment, still a long way from the shore. He stepped out of the awning and looked at the big boat that was changing direction. He asked the boatman who was driving the boat for him: "Old man, is it okay to go?" What?"
The old boatman glanced at the big boat next to him, sighed, lowered his head slightly and said, "Sir, our boat is small and more flexible. If they want to hit us, we only need to change a few more directions and we will always escape."
"Just dodging left and right, it will be a little embarrassing."
The old boatman lowered his head slightly and said, "Those people on the boat just want to see the young master in such a miserable state for fun."
Shen Yi smiled: "It's okay if you don't get hit. Please ask me to get to the shore quickly. The two of us can get ashore quickly so as not to injure my husband."
The old man responded quickly and started to escape in the boat.
As a result, two boats, one large and one small, began to chase each other on the West Lake. Because the big boat had more helmsmen, the straight-line speed was much faster. Fortunately, Shen Yi's boat could turn to avoid it, and the big boat was very flexible. It's much worse than above, and basically impossible to encounter.
Seeing that Shen Yi's boat was about to dock, the beautiful woman on the boat gently rubbed her chest against Young Master Zhou.
"Sir, they are about to dock~"
The woman's voice was so charming that Mr. Zhou immediately lost his temper.
He cursed fiercely: "This old man has a broken ship, and he still refuses to obey!"
"Come here, get my bow and arrows!"
"Scare the old man who operates the boat!"
Although Mr. Zhou had a loose collar, he could barely draw the bow. He fully drew a beautiful but weak wooden bow in his hand, took aim slightly, and immediately shot out an arrow.
This feathered arrow didn't have much power. Unless it hit the vital point, it basically couldn't kill anyone. However, the two ships were too close, and the arrow was still nailed to the hull of the awning ship.
Mr. Zhou laughed and said loudly: "Old man, stop the boat quickly, or I will shoot you with my next arrow!"
The old man driving the boat was startled and looked back at Shen Yi with some fear.
Shen Yi reached out and patted his shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After saying this, he looked up at the cruise ship and frowned slightly.
What happened today was a bit surprising.
Because the young man on this cruise ship has reached a certain level of dementia. I have clearly never offended him, and I don't even know him.
It makes no sense for him to do this.
However, Shen Yi still walked to the side of the boat, pulled out the arrow he shot, handed it to Jiang Sheng who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "Put it away, maybe it will be of great use."
Jiang Sheng put away the arrow and was a little angry: "Sir, are you just going to tolerate it like this?"
"Endure? Why do you have to endure?"
Shen Yi smiled and said: "When he shoots this arrow, he has already caused a lot of trouble for himself, just look at it..."
Mr. Shen looked at the cruise ship and narrowed his eyes slightly: "But the people on this ship must be weird."
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, several small boats were already approaching the cruise ship where Mr. Zhou was.
As soon as the boat got closer, seven or eight strong men grabbed the side of the boat with their hands and jumped onto the boat.
These eight men all carry swords and are all strong and strong.
As soon as they got on the boat, these men shouted in unison: "Stand where you are, don't move!"
Mr. Zhou was shocked, but as the son of the governor, he could not lose his momentum. In addition, he thought that in the entire Zhejiang area, he knew everyone who could not afford to offend, so he took a step forward and raised his head: "You are Who? Dare to break into my master's ship?!"
"Are you going to rebel?"
"Internal security is handling the case."
A man silently pulled out the long knife from his waist and looked at him indifferently, with no expression on his face.
"Catch the assassin."
"Just now…"
He looked at Mr. Zhou and asked in a cold voice: "Who shot the arrow at the imperial envoy?"
