Because of Zhou Liuyun's return, under the "peaceful coexistence" of Sima Prefect and the Chu family, Yazhou, which seemed quite peaceful and peaceful, has been unknowingly shrouded in a large cloud of darkness.
Chu Tianle rushed to stir up the trouble, killing without restraint, and had a wonderful chemical reaction with Zhou Liuyun's return. The dark cloud hanging over Yizhou City fermented into a terrifying thunderstorm cloud in just a few days.
Originally, according to the "scholar" style of Zhou Liuyun and Sima Zhuifeng, although this thunderstorm would be triggered sooner or later, it would not explode too fast and its destructive power would not be too great.
Zi Xiaosheng, who was afraid that the world would be in chaos, suddenly appeared on the scene. No one knew what he said to Zhou Liuyun. The Dragon Gate Banquet held at this fateful time was like a steel knife stuck on the door, killing many people. Forced into a desperate situation where he had to make a choice.
Invitations made of pure gold were like cheerful birds, flying into the mansion of the leading family in Yizhou City early in the morning.
Earlier, before dawn, more invitations to the Dragon Gate Banquet had been distributed in all directions through some secret channels. There are well-known families in Yizhou, wealthy families in Minzhou, big families in Mangzhou, officials from various states, prefectures, and counties, and generals who command the army. In short, as long as they have some power in these three states, they will Almost all the people in the warehouse who had some wealth were wiped out by Zi Xiaosheng.
According to the gossip leaked from Yaishan Academy, if the two bachelors Zhou Liuyun and Xun Yu hadn't fought to the death, Zi Xiaosheng would have even made an invitation specially for the leader of the giant bandit who suppressed the three states!
Zhou Liuyun put the long sword on his neck, and Xun Yu pointed his forehead at the corner of a stone table. The two of them argued with Zi Xiaosheng for a full quarter of an hour, and Zi Xiaosheng angrily gave up the invitation to Zhen San. The idea of a state giant bandit participating in the Dragon Gate Banquet.
At three o'clock in the morning, countless fishermen from the Baimang River Fish Village rowed their fishing boats to the shore. While they were bargaining with the purchasing managers of each household with smiles on their faces, the direction of the mouth of the Baimang River, the intersection of the Baimang River and the Dalong River, Suddenly, a low and powerful roar came from the water.
Suddenly, half-foot-high waves arose on the river, and waves of fine waves lapped at the river bank.
On the river surface in the southeast direction, large swaths of water vapor rose up to a height of a hundred feet. Amidst the deep roar, water columns rushed straight up, turning into large sprays and falling. In the vast mist, three behemoths with gray-brown bodies revealed half of their heads on the water. They held huge cables in their mouths and swam as fast as galloping horses toward the Yazhou City Commercial Terminal, three miles downstream from the fish market pier. go.
"Three big river oxen!" A seventy or eighty-year-old fisherman climbed onto the bamboo pole stuck in the bow of the boat. He put his palms on his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of the rising mist. He couldn't help but exclaimed loudly. .
"Jiang Niu" has a body like a hippopotamus, but has a large bull head. It is a unique water animal in the vast rivers.
River oxen are usually docile in character, strong in body, and extremely strong. In particular, some of the river oxen species have the secret gift of controlling water flow. They can swim through any dangerous river, and they can swim at an astonishingly fast speed. , the best among them can rush thousands of miles in the river in an hour, and swim at this speed for several days and nights.
The three river oxen in front of them are more than ten feet long, and they are also exceptionally strong among the river oxen. The cow figures above their heads are green and black, and from time to time large amounts of water mist spurt out from the huge and powerful horns. It can be seen that they are all alien species that have awakened the talent of controlling water.
They swam quickly with cables about a foot thick in their mouths. Dozens of feet behind them, a tall ship was like a small mountain. The fast-moving ship set off white waves that were about ten feet high. There was a loud "swish" sound. He was dragged up by three river oxen.
On the bow of the ship, which is five feet high and thirty feet long, there are two red identification plates on the left and right. The four characters "Minzhou Prefect" are written in gold paint on the identification plate on the left. These four characters use the gongbi font commonly used in the Jin Dynasty today.
On the identification plate on the right side of the bow is a huge ancient seal character "Zhu" with a simple and thick font. The notes are like a knife chopping and an ax chopping.
"This is the ship of Lord Zhu Jie, the governor of Minzhou, dear, what's going on?" Only a few miles away, the sun dispersed the mist on the river, and the two signboards on the bow were extraordinarily huge. The fishermen on the pier of the distant fish market could clearly see the writing on the identification sign.
"The prefect of Minzhou, Zhu Jie, has a bad relationship with our prefect!" A young fisherman muttered in a low voice: "It is said that when we, the prefect of Sima, passed by Minzhou when we took office, Prefect Zhu hosted a banquet for us, but he was greeted in front of the prefect of Sima. Accused him of being 'ignorant and cruel to the people', haha!"
"Shut up!" Beside the young fisherman, several more mature and steady fishermen yelled hurriedly.
The three-headed river ox slowed down. Under the control of the sailors on the ship, the huge building slowly docked at the commercial dock of Yizhou City. A gilded gangway was set up on the dock. A man dressed in a red robe , Zhu Jie, the prefect of Minzhou who only tied his hair into a bun with a jade hairpin and did not wear a crown, walked off the building first with his hands behind his back, walking slowly and squarely.
Standing on the pier, Zhu Jie stamped his feet vigorously, and a strange smile appeared on the pale horse's face: "Yizhou, hey! Sima Zhuifeng, hey! Hey everyone, this time, we are here to support Bachelor Zhou Liuyun Thank you for your support! You must never forget the reason for this trip!"
A large group of middle-aged men wearing brocade robes and jewels filed down the gangway. They chatted with Zhu Jie "laughing and laughing". Not long after, a series of exquisite carriages were driven off the building. These people got on the carriages, lined up in a long queue, and walked slowly towards Yizhou City.
Well-informed people have already figured out the identities of the luxurious men on this boat. They are all prominent figures in the major families in Minzhou. After receiving the invitation to the Dragon Gate Banquet in the name of Zhou Liuyun, they were called together by Zhu Jie , mobilized a warship of the Minzhou Navy and rushed over as quickly as possible.
Behind this building ship, there are eight stern warships accompanying it.
These eight equally huge warships did not dock at the pier, but lined up on the wide Baimang River, assuming a prepared posture. The sailors on the boat untied the cable pulling the boat, and the twenty or so river oxen pulling the boat happily played in the river, causing waves several feet high, disturbing the fishing boats docked on the shore.
"The person who came here is not a good person!" Even the dullest people could see that Zhu Jie came to Yazhou with great fanfare and brought many representatives of the Minzhou family, and it was clear that he was taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
Not long after Zhu Jie's ship docked here, a high-pitched roar was heard again from the direction of the Dalong River.
The Jiang Niu pulling the boat started to stir in a panic, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.
Just look at the large mist rising from the surface of the Baimang River. Six dragon sharks with sharp teeth pulled a huge stern ship across the water, roaring at a high speed that was more than twice as fast as Zhu Jie's ship just now.
