Mingluo River is the largest river in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Originating from the Daqingchuan River, it is also called Yanshui, and winds its way south until it reaches Linqing County, Linzhou, where Zhu Biao is now standing, and then turns to the southeast, passing through the capital Beiping, and then flows into Wei.
It is impossible for small boats to walk on the river that is more than ten miles wide. Because the ice and snow have not disappeared yet, although the river has thawed, floating ice can still be seen from time to time, especially in the middle of the river, where the water flow is rapid.
The ice blocks brought down one after another are so large and powerful that the consequences of any one hitting the ship would be disastrous.
So the first thing Zhu Biao saw was a big ship, one that could carry at least two hundred stones.
"Brother, I'm here to cross the river by boat. Let's go east to Pingjiang. There are no big ships in Linqing. The government issued an order the day before yesterday and dozens of big ships were collected at once. Everyone from the Qingjiang Gang
I pulled away a lot..."
On the edge of the pier, an old man playing with fishing nets looked at Zhu Biao a few times, then looked at the vast river, and said so.
"Thank you for telling me." Zhu Biao bowed his hands to the old man, and Zhu Biao led Dou Bing on horseback and walked out of the dock.
Qingjiang Gang, government ship conscription..., he didn't pay attention to some information at all, no matter what big thing happened. Zhu Biao only knew that he had narrow shoulders and a thin spine, and he couldn't take on big responsibilities, and he had no sense of responsibility.
Pingjiang, he just needs to know that this is a place where he can cross the river and go south——
"Master, are there many people here?"
Pingjiang is a county, but not within Linqing County. Zhu Biao and Dou Bing rode horses for a whole day before they arrived.
There are still more than ten or twenty miles away from the county seat, and the population and pedestrians have begun to gather. It looks even more lively than Linqing.
"It seems like people are crowding here..."
Zhu Biao said to himself.
Two quarters of an hour later, this was confirmed. The dock outside Pingjiang City was filled with a sea of people, crowded and blocked.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."
"Don't block the road. People in front of you should hurry up..."
"Can you **** leave..."
Even though there were government officials and garrison troops to maintain order, the entire dock area was filled with shouts and shouts.
"Master..." Dou Bing was a little timid. He had never experienced such a crowded situation.
Zhu Biao, who has experienced the test of the Spring Festival Transport, has remained calm as usual. Although the pier in front of him is crowded, it is not as crazy as the Spring Festival Transport.
But he was very doubtful that with so many people in front of him today, could he still get his turn? But when he saw a transport ship going southeast along the water, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up. He just thought about it
It's just a river, and I don't plan to use water transportation...
With such a crowded pier in front of us, there may not be too many people who just need to go to the other side...
At night, a crescent moon floats in the sky, dotted with stars.
At Pingjiang Pier, there are not many people going to the other side, but there are also quite a few. After Zhu Biao inquired carefully and found the ship steward, the number of registered passengers at the ship steward was already full, so he could only wait until tomorrow, and
The position has also been ranked in the third round, in the afternoon.
"Master..., the gambling house... is not a good place, so don't go there. It would be wrong to let the old lady know..."
"Idiot, if you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, how will my mother know?"
Rebirth is such a rare opportunity. If you don't go to a brothel or a gambling house, it will be wasted.
Zhu Biao has not laid a solid foundation yet. Although "Hunyuan Gong" does not necessarily require maintaining a virgin body, Zhu Biao feels that it is easier to cultivate a virgin body, so he will not visit this brothel first. However, he can enter a gambling house.
Jin, even though he has no gambling addiction at all, he is still curious in his heart!
What's even more rare is that I have time tonight to stay at the pier.
In the 21st century, the casinos in Macau in China are the most upright. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the spare money or ability to go further. He has never even been to the south of Zhejiang. In the current time and space, entering once can be regarded as gaining experience.
There are many religions and streams in gambling houses, and there is also a lot of news, so you might run into something!
"Num..." Zhu Biao threw fifty taels of silver to Dou Bing in front of the gambling house, and strode in. It was just a small gambling house at a county-level wharf. There was no need to exchange any chips, and there was no need to exchange chips in the gambling house.
It's not too big, just a dozen gaming tables, but every place is crowded with people.
During this special period, the merchants and pedestrians stranded at the pier must have added a lot of color to the gambling house tonight.
Zhu Biao doesn't know how to gamble with cards. The only thing he can play is dice.
And he also tried to use his ears to listen, but to no avail, and he still lost a lot. In just two quarters of an hour, Zhu Biao won five and lost eleven, and sixty or seventy taels of silver were wasted.
"Master, Master..."
Zhu Biao lost four games in a row and sweated slightly on his forehead. This was not because he felt sorry for the thirty or forty taels of silver he had lost, but just because of the mentality of "win a hand". In such a short time, at the gambling table
He actually inadvertently had the idea of 'having to win it back'.
Fortunately, Dou Bing's soft scream brought him back to his attention at this time. Zhu Biao's face changed slightly as he realized that his xinxing was fluctuating.
I immediately opened the status bar and saw that the inner demon and demonic nature were still 0, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, Master..." Dou Bing shouted again. Why was the Master stunned again??
Zhu Biao didn't give Dou Bing any time to think about it. After taking a look at the status bar, he immediately focused on Dou Bing.
"Look at this?" Seeing Zhu Biao come to his senses, Dou Bing raised the iron plate in his hand as if he was taking credit.
"This is made of fine iron. If you add it to a weapon, it won't make a good sword-"
Dou Bing showed off what he had learned from others.
Zhu Biao's expression suddenly changed, and he pressed Dou Bing's hand down, "Where did you come from?"
This iron plate is exactly the same as the Han Dynasty iron plate. The only difference is that the word "pawn" is replaced by the word "bing".
——Hanbing iron plate!
How did this thing get back to Dou Bing? How could he go to the casino?
Shocked by Zhu Biao's changed expression, Dou Bing hurriedly said: "I bought it from a boatman for ten taels of silver. It's right there... Hey, why is he missing?"
Compared with Zhu Biao, who won one and lost two, Dou Bing's luck was obviously better. Although he still lost money, he still had half of his fifty taels of silver left after spending ten taels.
The gambling table where he was sitting was surrounded by mostly boatmen and sailors. A man in his thirties was so jealous that he lost all his money, so he took out this iron plate to make a bet.
They clamored that it was made of iron essence and was worth twenty or thirty taels of silver.
But it was obvious that none of the gamblers at their gambling table would spend twenty or thirty taels of silver to buy that thing. Dou Bing was attracted by the idea that adding weapons to a weapon would not make a good sword.
I bought it for ten taels of silver.
"Brothers, does anyone know where the man who took out the iron plate just now has gone?"
Zhu Biao's question did not arouse a response from a gambler.
"Who knows, if you tell me, this ingot of silver will be his..."
"I, I know..."
"I'm going out, I've lost all my ten taels of silver, why are you still here..."
"He is from the West Pier. I saw him there..."
Putting down the silver ingot, Zhu Biao turned to greet Dou Bing, "Let's go -"
"My, my..."
"I answered, whoever dares to steal it from me will destroy it..."
