Xijiang Beicheng is relative to Dongjiang Beicheng on Southeast Road, and the local people refer to it as Jiangbeicheng.
Duan's convoy entered the city in the afternoon and checked into the inn they found under the escort of the officers and soldiers at Daqian Station.
Jufu Tower is now well-known in the world. It is full of customers, so there is nothing we can do.
…
After settling the troops, the housekeeper went out to find a boat to cross the river, while Yamazaki and Shandai led the team to the drug store to scan goods.
When walking on the road, I have become accustomed to seeing people pointing at them.
The price of being famous in these three games is as long as you don't bother them.
…
The two of them went back to the inn after shopping and found that the housekeeper had arrived with a guest, a muscular man with purple skin.
"Young Master, this is the local altar leader of the Shangjiang Gang, Shui Bao Liu, the altar leader."
Yamazaki held up his hand and said, "Goodbye."
Tanzhu Liu bowed his hand and returned the greeting, "You're welcome. I heard that you were going to cross the river. Liu was curious and came here to take a look and talk about increasing the amount."
"I'm tired, how do you like it?"
"There are two to three hundred men and horses. People are easy to deal with. The key is the horses. In short, it depends on how many times you want to go there. If you have five hundred taels of silver, you can go there in one day."
"Okay, how about tomorrow?"
"Liu told the truth, there have been storms these days and it's hard to go in a small boat. You have to get on a big boat. But if you insist on a small boat, Liu will not be responsible for anything that happens."
"Master Liu Tan, just tell me how much money I will get."
"One thousand taels."
"Okay, just one thousand taels!"
"Okay, feel free. Liu will adjust the ship right away. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
…
Boarding the ship the next day.
When they arrived, there were two people and eight horses, and they were transported across in four small boats.
This time it was troublesome, but it was also quite impressive.
The Shangjiang Gang mobilized ten three-story boats. Although they were not as good as the five-story boats of the Imperial Jianghe navy, they were lined up in a row and looked very impressive.
When the convoy boards the ship, the first thing is the horses. Each person can take care of two horses. Someone must watch them to prevent the horses from getting frightened and running away.
Mats were prepared on the boat for the horses to lie down on.
The deck of a three-story ship could only hold a dozen horses, and it took nine ships to accommodate all the horses.
There was only one large ship left to load people, and there were hundreds of people left, and they were loaded in one go.
…
After the boat sailed, Liu Tanzhu specially took everyone to the deck to see the river water. The waves were three to five feet high. The big ship didn't feel it, but the small boat was bumpy, and the boat was even more likely to capsize.
The second aunt's grandfather smacked his tongue, "What a big monster. Is this a ten-thousand-year-old centipede spirit or a ten-thousand-year-old centipede monster?"
The second aunt didn't talk to me and couldn't explain it at all.
Liu Tanzhu was curious, "What Mr. Duan said is really interesting. Those are oars. There are fifty oarsmen in a boat."
The second aunt's grandmother waved her hand, "Master Liu, there is no need to explain to my husband. His brain has been damaged by the poison and the power of the medicine. The scenery he sees in his eyes is different from what we see. Talking to him is the same as ducks and ducks."
"
"That's it." Liu Tanzhu handed over his hand.
…
I crossed the river smoothly and arrived at Jiangnan City Ferry. I felt that a thousand taels of silver was a lot, but it was not a waste of money.
When the men and horses disembarked, Yamazaki gave Liu Tanzhu an extra thousand taels of silver to send the escort officers and soldiers back when they came back.
"Okay, Master, you are so thoughtful."
"You are so wise. I'm afraid it will spread throughout the world."
"That's true." Liu Tanzhu held his hand and said, "I'll say goodbye, please."
"please!"
…
While resting in the city, it started raining at night.
The rain wasn't heavy, so Yamazaki decided to stay, since there was no rush for the next few days.
By the way, let the horses have a good rest, and brew up some medicine.
It rained for three days. As the locals say, summer is here and the rainy season is here.
The weather has cleared up, so bring enough rain gear and continue on the road.
Before leaving, he left five thousand taels of silver with the shopkeeper of Jufulou and asked him to purchase supplies and store them in the warehouse.
Long-term storage of grain, cured meat, salted fish, salt, cloth, and iron pots.
In short, start preparing disaster relief supplies.
…
Yamazaki also received new information, and the battle between the imperial court and the Tsing Yi Sect entered a new stage, and the Tsing Yi Sect began to kill officials.
The reason is that the imperial court has recently become more ruthless, killing many people from the Tsing Yi Sect, and also implicating relatives and friends of the Tsing Yi Sect members from their victims.
The Tsing Yi Sect spread the word that as many people from the Tsing Yi Sect were killed by the imperial court as many people from the government were killed by the Tsing Yi Sect.
The imperial court selected fifteen churches of the Tsing Yi Sect and killed thousands of members of the Tsing Yi Sect, together with tens of thousands of people. The killings could be described as rivers of blood.
The Qingyi Sect successively killed people from the yamen in fifteen cities, and also poisoned the officers and soldiers of a military camp.
There are more than 300 civil and military officials, including one third-grade officer, three fourth-grade officials, five fifth-grade officials, eleven sixth-grade officials, twenty-five seventh-grade officials, and sixty-two eighth-grade officials.
Among them are ten super first-class masters and dozens of first-class masters, all of whom came from academies and martial arts schools.
Hundreds of government officials in fifteen cities died, and more than 3,000 officers and soldiers in one battalion died. The scene was littered with corpses.
The whole country was shocked, officials within thousands of miles of the capital were frightened, and people in the military camp were also panicked.
The emperor roared his filial piety in the Golden Palace, which shocked the capital.
The capital is silent, but it is not because of the emperor, but because of the Tsing Yi Sect.
Once upon a time, they had seen such ruthless Jianghu people.
It was said that all the kings in the world wanted to rebel, but the kings in the world had not yet rebelled. The Qingyi Sect gave the emperor a hard slap in the face first.
It also exposed the emptiness under the gorgeous cloak of imperial power.
It doesn't matter if the emperor is sitting on the dragon's throne, or if he holds the world in his hands, they are all empty.
Dozens of masters can kill you to the point where you only care about one thing and not the other.
You kill my followers, and I will kill your officers and soldiers.
Tooth for tooth, blood for blood!
…
Information was gradually transmitted to the convoy. Yamazaki smiled at the second aunt and said: "Now, no one in the world will laugh at Shanjiabao. Three hundred thousand taels of silver paid for my life, and there should be no changes in the eldest brother's wedding."
The second aunt's grandmother couldn't help but sigh, "Jianghu people are so ruthless when they are on the run."
Shandai didn't take it seriously, "It's a good thing, it didn't involve more people."
"The Tsing Yi Sect doesn't dare," Yamazaki said. "Once the Tsing Yi Sect kills people randomly, people in the world will also be involved."
"Then the situation will be like Jianghu people killing each other, and the imperial court will sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
"Actually, the emperor was probably worried that the Tsing Yi Sect would help the Southwest King, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation where the Southwest King could not move and kill the Southwest King's assistant first.
"It's a pity that it was too hasty."
"In other words, the emperor has never been in the Jianghu and does not know how unruly the people in the Jianghu are."
"He thinks that the people in the world are greedy people that he bribed. He can win them over by giving them gold, silver, jewelry, land, beauties, and martial arts secrets."
"Or they are just ordinary people in the market, just trying to make ends meet."
"Yes, most Jianghu people are like this, but there are a handful of people who are not, such as the Tsing Yi Sect today."
"Since ancient times, Jianghu people who fight against the imperial court will become role models for Jianghu people."
"This has nothing to do with good or evil. What people in the world admire is his fists and courage."
"Because you can't win in a quarrel, you can't stop it with just one sentence. Go and try to fight against the government!"
The second aunt held her fist in a funny manner, "Speaking of fists, I'm definitely above the top now, but I don't know how far I am from the top."
Yamazaki smiled and said: "I don't know about my grandnephew. In short, although my grandnephew lacks internal energy, his moves are almost first-rate."
"I have also become a third-rate person." Shan Dai winked at Yamazaki with a smile, and now she can finally use martial arts.
