Chen Mo and Yan Yu came to a pier. Yan Yu came here for the first time, and Chen Mo came here for the second time. The last time he came here was in a prison car. The river facing the pier is still the Jiuqu River, which is in Feishui City.
The side is also the Jiuqu River, but that is the upstream, and this is only the downstream. If you take a boat from Feishui City and go down the river, you will pass through Taihu Lake and then arrive here.
Originally, Yan Yu had really planned it after looking at the map, but he thought he would take a look at Thirteenth Niang before leaving, so he did not go directly to the boat. Chen Mo was also lucky enough to escape, but what was supposed to come came after all.
The dock here is not as busy as the one in Feishui City. Chen Mo found the boat easily. After boarding the boat, Yan Yu was very excited. He finally got on the boat and ran around on the boat.
It's big, and its advantage is its speed. That's why Chen Mo chose this boat so that he could know about Yan Yu's situation even though he was seasick and didn't want to move.
The boat set off. According to the boatman's introduction, it was spring and the river water was not too strong and not too strong. If it were summer, the boat would be a little rocky. At this time, Chen Mo just wanted to reach the destination quickly.
Yan Yu hasn't stopped since he got on the boat, looking here and there, chatting with the boatman, asking if the Dragon King really lives at the bottom of the river, how deep is the Dragon Palace, and who is the biggest fish in the river?
No matter what fish, the boatman also likes this lively girl.
"I said, girl, is your brother seasick?" asked a boatman. He saw that the young man who got on the boat with the little girl did not move after getting on the boat, and was unwilling to open his eyes more.
"Don't pay attention to him. He is weak and is used to being dizzy." Yan Yu said nonchalantly, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
The speed of the boat going down the river is much faster than that of going upstream, and the boatman is much more leisurely, so he has time to chat with this little girl who is not afraid of life.
Two days later, the ship docked at Linjiang City Pier in Shuozhou. Some goods had to be unloaded here. Chen Mo got a chance to breathe and took Yan Yu off the ship.
The two of them didn't go wandering around, but asked for something to eat at a small inn near the pier.
"Chen Mo, do you feel better?" Yan Yu looked at Chen Mo, who still looked a little bad, and wanted to make fun of his friends.
"Is it funny?"
"Of course, it's rare to find your weakness. I'm thinking about what to do if you meet an enemy on the boat. By the way, can you swim?" Yan Yu said and suddenly thought of a question. He had said it to himself at the beginning.
He fought with people by the lake, and finally jumped out of the bottom of the lake.
"meeting."
"That's strange. How can a person who can swim get seasick?" Yan Yu said doubtfully.
"Then you often talk about gods and ghosts, and you are still afraid of ghosts. How can you explain it?" Chen Mo asked back.
"This..." Yan Yu was speechless for a moment.
"Two guests, what do you want?" The waiter brought what Chen Mo and the others ordered, and then went back to work.
"This is Shuozhou. Do you think the prince will find you?" Yan Yu asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Chen Mo answered Yan Yu's joking question seriously.
"Ah? Is it true that his hands and eyes can reach the sky as people say?"
"I don't know if it's clear or not, but it's certain that someone leaked the information." Chen Mo took a sip of wine to relieve the nausea caused by the boat ride.
"We were discovered just after we got off the boat?"
"Why are you so sneaky? We are not murderers." Chen Mo laughed a little in his heart when he saw Yan Yu looking around cautiously.
"Yes." Yan Yu suddenly realized.
At this time, a middle-aged man came over and sat down next to Chen Mo unceremoniously. Yan Yu didn't pay attention. There were quite a lot of people in the inn, so it was normal for them to come and join the table.
"If you have something to say, just tell me." Before the man could speak, Chen Mo said it first.
The man was a little embarrassed, but he quickly recovered and said: "The prince invites the young master to come to the city for a talk."
"Not going."
The man didn't expect this young man to refuse so decisively. He didn't know what to do. The prince's order was to please, so it would be inappropriate for him to do it forcefully.
Just when the man was in a dilemma, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the inn. After a while, a group of people appeared outside the inn. Seeing this, the people here gave up their seats one after another and watched the excitement to see what was going on.
thing.
"If I don't go, how can you still be strong?" Chen Mo said calmly.
"Young master, I misunderstood. Those people are just here to welcome you. They have no other meaning. I heard that your master is very powerful in martial arts, and I don't have the ability to force him to stay. The most I can do is go back and receive some punishment." The man said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Uncle, is the prince really in the city?" Yan Yu asked curiously.
"Uh..." The man glanced at Chen Mo who was indifferent, then looked at the little girl who was walking with Shen Mo, and replied: "Yes."
"Have you prepared something delicious?" Yan Yu continued to ask.
"Yes." The man suddenly thought of a roundabout strategy to see if he could find a breakthrough from this little girl. "There are not only delicious things, but also fun and beautiful things."
"That's great." Yan Yu said happily. "Uncle, let's go."
"this..."
"Chen Mo, let's go, take me to eat big fish and meat." Yan Yu glanced at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at her and looked at her eyes flashing, and said, "Let's go."
Is it that simple? The man who came to invite me was also stunned. He didn't expect that things would take a turn for the worse so quickly.
The three of them walked out of the inn and knelt down on one knee: "General Pang."
The passers-by around were surprised. They didn't expect to see such a big shot in such a small place.
"Uncle, it turns out you are a general." Yan Yu glanced at the man beside him and instantly felt tall and mighty.
"Any general who is not a general is promoted by his brothers." General Pang smiled naively. He had a good impression of this little girl who knew her identity and did not show the respect of others.
"Then there are thousands of brothers lifting you up."
"Hahahaha~" General Pang laughed at her words.
"By the way, our things are still on board." Yan Yu suddenly thought of his luggage.
"Don't worry, little girl, you can't lose your things."
The most luxurious restaurant in Linjiang City was temporarily booked by someone today. For those guests who ate in the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant not only exempted the guests from their meals but also gave them generous compensation. Those who were shameless were also punished.
Some soldiers in armor were "invited" out.
After the guests were invited to leave, two expensive carriages stopped in front of the restaurant, and the onlookers were dispersed by the guards waiting outside the restaurant, driving them far away.
The people on the carriage got out of the carriage, and were led by the boss, who had a cracked mouth to the base of his ears, and walked into the main building. After entering the restaurant, the carriage left. The guards were guarding the door of the restaurant, and the guards who maintained order were no longer there.
The people were prevented from carrying out normal activities, even if they were not allowed to enter the restaurant. They just looked at it curiously, then whispered with their friends and left. Who knows if they would be caught by the guards in front of the restaurant if they stayed a little longer.
To lay an unfounded charge.
The first floor was empty, and the second floor was also empty. Except for some guards, there was no one else waiting around.
On the third floor, the Jiang brothers and Lu Chunqiu were sitting at a table, chatting. Jiang Nu's four maids also came, serving tea and water to the three of them. In addition to a few of them, there were also
There are some famous geishas playing music behind the screen to add to the atmosphere. These famous geishas are the best geishas in the city.
While they were chatting, on the other side, Chen Mo and the other two, led by General Pang, approached the city near the river.
"Chen Mo, do you think the prince wants to see you for anything else?" Yan Yu looked at the things around him with his big eyes and asked curiously next to Chen Mo.
"Send the money." Chen Mo returned expressionlessly.
"Didn't we bring enough money? Why do we need so much money? What if we can't spend it all? Besides, the money is so heavy."
"It's not like you have to carry it on your back."
"That's right. Can you ask for a little more later? After all, you helped him so much." Yan Yu said, tapping his chin.
"Why do you want so much money?" Chen Mo glanced at her.
"What if we run out of money in the future? You don't know how to work to make money. Do you want me to go? I don't know anything." Yan Yu said confidently.
"If you don't have any money, just see if the government has any reward orders. If you catch a few of them, you'll be fine."
"You are the one who can't be caught by the government. Besides, will you have the leisure time then? Aren't you going to recite Buddhism and copy scriptures with those monks?"
"Then you can ask them when the time comes to see if they can give it to you."
"You're familiar with him, so you'd better open your mouth."
General Pang listened to the conversation of these two men with some shame. Judging from their words and deeds, it seemed that they did not have the kind of emotions that the common people should have towards the prince.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the luxurious restaurant.
Yan Yu raised his head, looked at the tall building in front of him, and exclaimed "Wow". This restaurant was more magnificent than what he had seen after traveling all over the country for so many years.
"The things here must be very expensive." Yan Yu held Chen Mo's hand and sighed.
"You don't have to pay for it."
"That's right."
On the third floor of the restaurant, a guard ran up and reported: "Your Majesty, people have arrived downstairs."
"Oh, please ask them to come up."
Outside the restaurant, a guard made an invitation gesture to Chen Mo and the other two.
"Uncle Pang, aren't you coming with us?" Yan Yu turned to look at General Pang who did not come in with them outside the restaurant door and asked.
"No."
General Pang waved to her with a smile and watched them enter the restaurant.
