Tens of thousands of dragon boats sailed among the green silk, carrying all the goods to Yangzhou and never returning.
It must be God's will that the Bian River was opened, and there are no mountains for more than a thousand miles.
A large ship flying the flag of the Cao Gang was sailing north along the river.
When the south of the Yangtze River was in chaos, the Cao Gang did not send resources from the south to the capital. The court rarely ordered that the materials from the south of the Yangtze River should be kept in place. Many Cao Gang members are now helping the government resist the Maitreya Sect. Wan Dongliu's secret identity as a member of the Four Elephants Sect has no effect at this time. The Cao Gang is still a righteous gang that is linked to the fate of the government.
There are not many boatmen on this ship now, and the materials transported are just for personal business of the Wan family. The destination is not the capital, but Qingxu.
What was special was that there were two guests on the ship who were free to take the boat, and one of them was so shameless that he even brought a horse with him.
With the server-wide announcement of the Book of Chaos, no matter how arrogant Zhao Changhe was, he did not dare to continue operating in the Maitreya Sect's sphere of influence. If he was really blocked, it would be no joke. That night he went straight north across the river to Yangzhou, and happened to take advantage of Wan Dongliu's boat and continued to flee north.
I wanted to take a boat up the Yangtze River to Wushan earlier, but this boat is not on the way. Anyway, there is no boat on the way now due to the chaos, so I will go out first. Going north is also good, and I can go to Yanmen to see if there is any place where I can help.
The other person who hitched a ride on the boat was Taoist Xuan Chong. He was returning to his own sect, Taiyi Sect, in Mount Tai, so he was really on the way.
At this time, Xuan Chong was sitting at the bow, enjoying the breeze, sipping his wine leisurely and looking at the surrounding scenery, with a heart full of poetic and picturesque ideas.
What was even more pleasant was that there was a chessboard in front of him, and opposite the chessboard sat a bear, sitting there cross-legged with his hands in a cage, with a bitter look on his face, and he hadn't moved for an incense stick of time.
"Brother Zhao," Xuan Chong said leisurely, "You were the one who said you couldn't play Go and wanted to switch to chess. You were the one who invented Gobang because you couldn't play chess. Now that Gobang is a sure win, how many more chess pieces do you want to switch to?"
Zhao Changhe sniffed and muttered, cupping his hands: "Are you guys martial artists after all? You're all better at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting than anyone else. Haven't you played Go before?"
"This rule is really too simple, there is no need to play it." Xuan Chong said leisurely: "It is better to say that Brother Zhao's brain is too... well, too..."
I've been stuck for a long time and can't seem to think of a better way to describe it. If I just say it's too stupid, I don't know if this guy will get angry...
"I can already play the piano, don't say I don't have artistic talent." Zhao Changhe muttered, and took out a copper coin and handed it over with great distress: "Well, I accept the loss. It turns out that gambling is not allowed..."
Xuan Chong almost laughed out loud when he saw his expression.
The two of them were having fun on the way, but both said that they didn't gamble, so they just bet a copper coin for entertainment. Who would have thought that this guy would be so distressed even after losing a copper coin? Is there something wrong with people's perception of Zhao Changhe
"What are you laughing at? I was diving to dig a boat and forgot about it. All the banknotes on me were soaked in water. Now I have no money..." Zhao Changhe was very distressed: "Why is there no storage bag in the world? It's too inconvenient. I have to hide a knife in the reeds."
Xuan Chong burst out laughing.
"Hey, Brother Dao, are you practicing Taoism? Have you ever heard of storage bags or storage rings? Or did they exist in the last era?"
"It's in stories, but I've never seen it in real life." Xuan Chong said slowly, "In the last era... I suspect it existed. To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is a spatial method. Just because people today can't do it doesn't mean that the gods and demons of the last era couldn't do it. According to various legends, they should be able to do it. If Brother Zhao really needs that kind of thing, maybe he'll be lucky enough to see it in some ruins."
Zhao Changhe curled his lips. The Sword Emperor's Mausoleum was a top-notch relic, but unfortunately no one dared to explore inside. Apart from the inheritance left outside, there was nothing else of great value, not to mention the storage treasures... I don't know if Sisi had seen it, as no one mentioned it at the time.
But even if there is, with everyone's current level of practice, it can't be used... What can we use to probe into the ring space to take things? Qi? The current level of Qi can't even do telekinesis...
Zhao Changhe tried it out of boredom, and suddenly stretched out his hand to try to grab the chess piece on the board in mid-air. The piece moved and he couldn't catch it.
Xuan Chong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Zhao, maybe you can try to absorb a piece of paper, but forget about the chess piece. Unless you have specially practiced the martial arts of absorbing energy, such as the Dragon Capturing Technique, and mastered a special method of moving energy, then maybe you can try it."
Zhao Changhe's eyes lit up: "Is there such martial arts? Where can I find it?"
"Dai Men, is there anyone more proficient than them in the technique of remotely capturing things?"
"Well… "
Speaking of this, I wonder where Ji Chengkong is... Zhao Changhe suspected that he recognized Sisi. Since the message was passed on, there was no need to continue "looking for someone", so he left. To be honest, the thief door was still a bit fun. Zhao Changhe thought that if there was a chance, he could deepen the communication.
It seems that Xuan Chong is very knowledgeable, so he might as well take the opportunity to find out something else: "If I want to find a strong fist and palm kung fu, which one is the most famous? The Beggars' Sect?" "Although there is the Beggars' Sect, its martial arts mainly focus on sticks, and fists and palms are not very famous. Moreover, the Beggars' Sect does not follow the path of strength." Xuan Chong said in surprise: "Brother Zhao's lack of martial arts anecdotes is surprising. Although you have not been in the martial arts world for long, you and Yue Hongling and Tang Shouzuo are all close friends. Yue Hongling has traveled all over the world and Tang Shouzuo has a lot of information. What did you talk about during such a long time together?"
Zhao Changhe really wanted to put an emoticon of himself pointing at a clown and laughing.
Xuan Chong was speechless: "If we talk about the strongest fist, it must be the 'My Fist' of your Majesty. Its strength and tyranny are unparalleled in the world."
"What kind of a name is that?"
"That's what your majesty said."
Zhao Changhe thought to himself, why does this middle school student feel like Longque? The knife follows its master
"And then?"
"The next best is the Langya Wang family's Pai Tian Zhen Hai Palm, and the Four Symbols Sect's Xuan Wu boxing. I don't know the name, but it's said that one punch can blow someone up..."
If someone exploded by injecting true qi and exploding from the inside, it would be believable, but it was a bit outrageous to explode by force, so Zhao Changhe simply didn't believe it. After thinking about it, he felt that the martial arts of the Wang family and Xuanwu were obviously not available. Could it be that he was heading for the path of finding a wild father again
"Brother, what about your Taiyi Sect? Are you really cultivating immortals?"
"We in the Taoist sect all follow the principle of using softness to overcome hardness. Although fists and palms are good, they are not suitable for Brother Zhao's problem."
Is that so... Zhao Changhe looked at him thoughtfully, but did not continue the topic. He was just about to ask what the third tier was like when he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves from the distance on the shore.
They were both people with sharp intuition. Even though the horse-riding sounds were far away, they could both feel that they were coming towards their ship. They looked at each other and stopped talking.
Not long after, a group of knights came sweeping in, and when they reached the shore, they all reined in their horses in great order.
The leading knight took a deep breath and shouted, "Stop the ship!"
The sailors of the Cao Gang were also used to being arrogant, so how could they care about them? The big ship continued to move forward without stopping.
"How dare you! The Cao Gang even dares to bully our Wang family?" The leading knight sneered, and without any movement, he suddenly flew into the air from the horse's back and leaped towards the edge of the boat like a roc spreading its wings.
Normally, a boat is obviously quite far from the shore. Zhao Changhe had to wait for Cui Yuanyang to paddle towards the shore for a long time before he could reach the shore. However, this knight jumped over and was only about ten feet away from the boat.
Zhao Changhe watched with interest. When the man was about to run out of strength, he suddenly threw out a hook line, which accurately hooked onto the edge of the boat. He used the force of the hook line to land on the bow very smoothly.
Many pedestrians on the shore saw this and cheered: "What a great skill!"
Zhao Changhe secretly praised it in his heart. This move is quite interesting. I wonder if I can learn it. My mother has too many things on her body. I am afraid it may not be convenient.
The ship owner walked out of the cabin, his face looking a little unhappy: "Wang family?"
The man said proudly: "Not bad."
The ship owner thought to himself, "You are such an arrogant person. If we hadn't heard you mention the name of the Wang family, you would have flown over here like a target and would have been shot into a hedgehog by our arrows."
Of course, since he is a member of the Wang family, he is arrogant. The Cao Gang dare not offend him. The boat owner can only swallow his anger and say: "I don't know why the Wang family stopped my Cao Gang's boat?"
The man didn't answer, but suddenly slapped the boat owner on the face with a "slap", causing the boat owner to stagger.
Xuan Chong stood up suddenly, and Zhao Changhe's eyes instantly became ferocious.
The man suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if he was being stared at by a tiger, and he didn't know which of the two people at the bow this came from.
