Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 180
"Master, are you going to—"

"We can't fight on land, so let's do something we are good at!"

"But, the opponent still has Guo Huaishou."

"Who is Guo Huaishou! When it comes to playing with water, Huang Sheng is the number one in Feiyu, and no one dares to say number two! Well, don't waste time, hurry up and get this done for me!"

"Yes, Master."

After the disciple went out, Na Toutuo couldn't help asking: "Master Huang, are you really planning to attack them on the river? The head of the Xiaoyao Sect surnamed Xue is not easy to provoke, if you provoke him -"

"Elder Sun, aren't you afraid?" Huang Sheng glanced at him with contempt.

Toutuo blushed immediately: "I have been in Jinghu for more than ten years, when have I ever been afraid of it!...But now I finally have some foundation, don't let it be ruined by a moment of recklessness!"

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion!" Huang Sheng said confidently, he knew very well in his heart: when these people agreed to come to Bashu with him to establish the Yumen, and regarded him as the head, it was not because they were convinced by him, but because He is a local snake, has worked in Bashu for many years, has deep connections, and is familiar with Bashu martial arts, so it is convenient for him to do things.In fact, there are several elders in the Yumen who are far stronger in martial arts than him, and they obey his orders, including Zhu Libao, Meng Kai, and this Sun Tai. If he can use this incident to establish his prestige, say It might be possible to completely bring the Yumen Gate under control.

Thinking of this, he smiled grimly: "No matter how powerful the martial arts of that Xiaoyao faction head named Xue are, when it comes to the big river, it will be my world! I know that there is a dangerous section of the waterway they are going to go through. It's a towering cliff with no place to stay. When I hit it with a boat, they will all have to feed the fish and shrimp when they fall into the river. No one will know that we did it. Elder Sun, would you like to come with me? Take a walk?"

Toutuo thought for a long time nervously, then gritted his teeth and said, "If we don't suppress the Flying Fish Gang, we won't be able to intervene in the shipping of Bashu and fulfill our promise to those wealthy businessmen. ...Okay, the Sa family will take the risk to do it with you!"

..........................................................................................

In the early morning of the next day, Xue Chang left the three horses and the green mule at the helm of the Flying Fish Gang for foster care, brought Fan Mastiff and Hu Qiudi to Rongzhou Wharf, said goodbye to Han Yeqiu and the others, and boarded the passenger ship that Guo Huaishou had prepared .

In his previous life, Xue Chang was from Chongqing, and he also took a boat tour of the Yangtze River, but he took a passenger ship with mechanical power. Now he is sitting in a rickety wooden boat, slowly following the seemingly smooth but actually fast river. Driving into the center of the river, the river is wide, the river is mighty, and the wind is fierce... In an instant, people feel their own insignificance in front of this natural power.

But Xue Chang didn't show any fear. On the contrary, he was very excited. He sat on the bow of the boat, looking up at the waterfowl flying on the river and the scenery on both sides of the river, but at the same time, he also gazed with compassion at the boat that was fighting hard in the wind and waves. Fishing boats and trackers shouting chant on the shore and struggling to tug the boat...

Seeing this, Guo Huaishou simply cooked a pot of tea and invited Xue Chang to drink and chat.

Guo Huaishou talked enthusiastically about the customs and customs on both sides of the strait that the passenger ship passed by, and of course some historical allusions were interspersed in it. The history of this world is very different, so Xue Chang listened carefully.

Of course, Xue Chang also talked about the historical stories he knew related to the place names he passed by. Although it did not happen in this world, he pretended that he made it up, which made Guo Huaishou and the two apprentices beside him listen with great interest.

The two talked about the past and the present, and the chat was very speculative, which gave Fan Mastiff and Hu Qiudi a lot of insight.

But after more than an hour, Guo Huaishou couldn't stand it any longer and had to go back to the boat shed to rest.

After all, it was just early spring and the weather was still relatively cold, and the boat was even colder and damper on the river, and the wind was blowing. No matter how strong Guo Huaishou was sitting in the bow, he would not be able to stand it after a long time. Fan Mastiff and Hu Qiudi, with pale faces and dry lips, also went into the boat shed to rest, so as not to be damaged by the river wind and leave hidden dangers.

Only Xue Chang insisted on sitting on the bow to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait. Although he was wearing thin clothes, despite the wind blowing in the river, his face was always ruddy, calm, and as stable as Mount Tai, which made Guo Huaishou secretly amazed.In fact, Xue Chang's inner breath has been slowly wandering in the body during the conversation and breathing, and the Nine Yang Magic Art is functioning, and the whole body is like being placed in the warm sun, and the damp and cold can't invade at all.

After noon, Guo Huaishou, who had rested, walked out of the boat again and showed Xue Chang, his master and his apprentice, his fishing skills.In a very short period of time, he used a special hook, line and bait to catch a carp with a length of more than two meters. Such a big underwater tiger was very rare in his previous life. There are quite a few, but it is difficult for ordinary people to catch them. Guo Huaishou said that he has become obsessed with fishing carp during this period, and has gained a lot of experience.

Xue Chang felt that he was using fish fishing to vent his grievances against the fish family.

Guo Huaishou directly asked his men to cut the fish by the bed and remove the scales, wash and cut the fish into sections, put them in an iron pot, scoop up the river water, put salt, green onion and ginger, put them on the small iron stove at the bow, and light the charcoal in the stove , start cooking.

Although this method is simple, it is better because the ingredients are fresh, and the meat of the squid is smooth and tender, which is the best freshwater fish. So after the fish is ready, the three masters and apprentices of Xue Chang, Guo Huaishhou and his subordinates have a total of 7 people to feast on. Not long after, there were only bare fish racks left in the pot. Everyone praised the deliciousness, but they still felt inadequate.

So Guo Huaishou picked up the fishing rod again, spent some time, and after throwing away several other fish he caught, he finally got another carp. Although it was smaller than the previous one, it finally satisfied everyone.

In the following time, Guo Huaishou asked his men to deliberately control the speed of the ship, and before dusk came, the passenger ship arrived at Gongzhou (Chongqing), the hometown of Xue Chang in his previous life, where "the mountain is the city, and the city is the mountain".

Guo Huaishou told Xue Chang: The passenger ship must rest at the shore, and it is best to set off again in the morning.It's not because this is where he runs his business and he wants to stay here for one more night, but because the waterway ahead is getting more and more dangerous, especially when it's already late at night when he reaches Kuimen, and he can't see his fingers when sailing. It was too risky.

Xue Chang followed his advice, and of course he himself wanted to see his hometown in this era.

Gongzhou was originally called Yuzhou in the previous dynasty. When the Taizu Chen Xuting of this dynasty raised troops to unify Bashu, he encountered a lot of resistance in the Bashu Plain. After a bitter battle, Yuzhou Kaicheng surrendered, and the residents in the city did not have the slightest resistance to the change of dynasty.Chen Xuting, Longyan Dayue, later changed Yuzhou to Gongzhou, which means respectful and obedient.

Later, he led his troops eastward to Jinghu Lake twice to crusade against the northern barbarians. Both of them used Gongzhou as a transportation base for supplies and soldiers, which played an important role in establishing a firm foothold in Jinghu Lake for him.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gongzhou, as the eastern gateway of the Bashu region, had a relatively important military status in the Dazhou. The only navy in the entire Bashu region was stationed here.The chief rudder of the Danshan Gang, one of the two major gangs in the Bashu Martial Arts, is also located here.

Like Rongzhou, Gongzhou is also the place where two rivers meet, and its city is also built on the peninsula where the two rivers meet.Compared with Chongqing in later generations, the urban area of ​​Gongzhou at this time is very small, and the scenery and terrain are difficult to overlap with Xue Chang's impression in his previous life, and the original style is maintained, but there is only one thing that has not changed - that is, walking requires climbing There are ridges on the slopes, which is why the members of the Danshan Gang are very popular here.

In addition, the accent of the residents here is quite similar to that of Chongqing people in the previous life, and it is very different from the speaking style of the residents of Chengdu. The general from the east, and the prime minister from the west of Sichuan", Xue Chang felt very cordial.

Considering that there are still important things to do tomorrow, Xue Chang politely rejected Guo Huaishou's proposal - to visit Li Changle, the leader of the Danshan Gang, because that would probably be another banquet.

Guo Huaishou didn't force it, because he also hoped to recharge his batteries and deliver Xue Chang to his destination smoothly tomorrow.

After a simple dinner, everyone went to bed early.But when he thought of arriving at Wushan and seeing Luo Lanmeng tomorrow, Xue Chang was so excited that he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he had to turn on the system and start practicing internal strength...

The next day, when the morning light just appeared on the horizon and Gongzhou City was still shrouded in thick fog, Xue Chang and his party boarded the passenger ship again.

There was also thick fog on the river, so Guo Huaishou and his men were very cautious when maneuvering the boat.
When the white mist dissipated and the sky was bright, the passenger ship had arrived in Fengdu.

Xue Chang looked at the corner of the building exposed among the greenery above the mountains on the north bank, and remembered that this was the residence of the Yindu faction, and he couldn't help thinking: If Feng Yanhao, the new head, knows that he has arrived here by boat, Will you send people to come and intercept them by boat?
Taking advantage of the clear weather, Guo Huaishou began to speed up the boat, passing Zhongzhou and Wanzhou...

When the sun hangs in the middle of the sky, all the haze is cleared away, the blue sky is clean, the white clouds are long, the scenery on both sides of the river is more clearly visible, and the mood of everyone on board becomes more joyful.

Then, a peninsula stretching toward the center of the river appeared on the wide river ahead. The island was surrounded by city walls, and pavilions and pavilions were placed in it.

"White Emperor City is here!" Guo Huaishou shouted.

"Is there... any allusions to Baidi City?" Xue Chang asked curiously.

"It is said that this city was built by the Marquis of Shu who was conferred by the King of Han thousands of years ago. It was originally called Jiangzhong City. Later, because there was a well in the city, which often emits white gas, like a white dragon. The Marquis of Shu thought it was a good omen, so it was renamed Baidi City. Later The Marquis of Shu rebelled and was destroyed by the King of Han, but the name of Baidi City has been used forever..."
