Martial arts: Prince Xiaoyao, pick Zhou Zhiruo at the beginning

24 solar terms kill the god sword, the beginning of autumn.

The moonlight tonight is particularly bright, just like Qiu Ju's sword, releasing an incomparably charming light.

Of the hundreds of people who climbed onto the boat, no one was spared, and all of them were hit by the moonlight.

If the moonlight had any substance, these people couldn't even utter a scream before being knocked out of the boat and falling into the canal.

Under the canal, there were many undercurrents, which swept these people into the distance.

After a sword strike, Qiu Ju didn't even look at the result, and turned back to the boathouse.

When passing by Liu Hao's room, there was a sudden panting in his ears.

"It's Min'er's voice.'."

"Min'er is in the master's room."

Qiu Ju recognized Zhao Min's voice immediately, and that voice. . .

The little face turned red.

Before she could react, the door opened, and Qiu Ju was involuntarily sucked in.

"Master, don't..."

She already realized what was going to happen, it was fine with Chunlan, but now she had to be with Zhao Min.

But when things came to an end, she couldn't help it at all.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was only the sound of waves hitting the table, and only the occasional howling of wolves from the mountains and forests.

It wasn't until the second day that the boatman woke up and was about to draw anchor and set sail again, only to find that there were dozens of small boats parked around the building boat.

These small boats have ropes connected to their own building boats.

At the same time, they also saw many corpses on both sides of the strait.

I probably guessed what happened last night.

They rushed to report to the ship's steward, but the steward told them not to meddle in their own business and just pretend nothing happened.

Under the command of the steward, these boatmen cut the rope, stowed the anchor, and the building boat started again.

Today we will enter the Zhenjiang waterway. The Zhenjiang waterway is [-] miles long, a little longer than the Weishan waterway, and it is also more difficult to walk.

After passing the Zhenjiang waterway, you will really enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, which is the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no more robbery by Jianghu gangs.

Both Qiu Ju and Zhao Min's eyes were not quite right today, neither of them dared to look at each other, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from others, they tried not to touch each other as much as possible.

In Changle Town, Situ Heng and Bei Haishi waited all night, but they couldn't wait for anyone to come back.

They know something is wrong.

And according to the news just received, the building boat belonging to the Tianri Chamber of Commerce has entered the Zhenjiang Waterway.

Later, the disciples who went to investigate were rewarded. They found the gang's boat, and at the same time found a large number of gang disciples nearby, but they had all turned into corpses.

They brought a few corpses back, and Bei Haishi frowned after examining them carefully, "There is no external injury, but all internal organs have been damaged. The other party is at least a grand master, and only the true energy of a grand master can do this."

After hearing this, Situ Heng also frowned, "There is a grand master accompanying him, and the Tianri Chamber of Commerce is really unfathomable and difficult to provoke."

Bei Haishi said in a deep voice, "I miscalculated. I didn't expect them to be accompanied by a great master, and they killed my brother for nothing."

Situ Heng waved his hand violently, "Vice Chief Bei doesn't have to be like this, no one expected this. But since we have killed so many brothers, we can't let it go."

"Although I'm not a great master, but in Zhenjiang waterway, even if you are a great master, you have to lie on your stomach."

With that said, Situ Heng turned and walked out, "¨"Deputy Guild Master Bei, I will leave the affairs of the gang to you for the time being, and the old man will go to Zhenjiang City."

Bei Haishi didn't say anything, but a strange smile appeared on his lips.

Then, he tried to press his palm on the stone beside him.

The stone shattered with a muffled sound.

Bei Haishi shook his head, "With my true energy, I can't do it without hurting the outside, but only killing the inside. The other party is stronger than me, it seems that it's not just as simple as the Grand Master."

"That guy Situ Heng, I'm afraid he might not be able to come back."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

On the tall ship, Liu Hao stood at the bow, as if admiring the scenery.

The girls were chatting together, they didn't know what they were talking about, and they would often let out a burst of cheerful laughter, which was very pleasant to listen to like a lark.

Qiu Ju came to Liu Hao's side, lowered her head, "Master, a total of 160 people came last night."

Liu Hao hummed, he was clear about this matter, Liu Ju had already dealt with it, so he didn't need to ask any more.

"Why doesn't Xiaoju dare to raise her head today? Didn't she have a lot of fun teasing the master yesterday?"

Qiu Ju lowered her (Nuoma's) head and blushed, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, "You are a master, you can row a boat in your stomach, so don't bother with Xiao Ju."

Liu Hao chuckled, "Master doesn't care, you were very stubborn last night."

Qiu Ju's face turned even redder, and she remained silent.

He looked sideways at Zhao Min, and it happened that Zhao Min also sneaked in this direction.

The eyes of the two collided, and they immediately shrank back, as if they had done something guilty.

Liu Hao smiled and said, "If you don't mention it, let's not mention it. We have already entered the Zhenjiang Waterway. Last night you killed more than 100 people from the Changle Gang. They should not let it go."

Qiu Ju thought for a while, "The leader of the Changle Gang is called Situ Heng, and the general of the Zhenjiang City military is called Situ Zong."

Situ Heng, Situ Zong.

It seems that the two are somewhat related.

Moreover, the Dugu family is behind both sides, and it is very likely that the Changle Gang will borrow the strength of the Zhenjiang City army.

Whether Changle Gang or Datang Army, Liu Hao doesn't care, as long as he dares to come, he dares to kill.

Chapter 2 Are you watching, watching, or watching?

On this day, the workers on the Zhenjiang city yard saw the orderly army warships, and they moved in unison.

"Are you going to practice again?"

"Didn't you just practice a few days ago, why do you have to act again?"

"Could it be to suppress bandits? There are indeed a lot of bandits on Weishan Waterway."

Some unreasonable workers have speculated, but based on their knowledge, it is basically impossible to guess the true meaning of the army's actions.

The army warships set off against Zhenjiang City and headed towards the Weishan Waterway.

Three warships lined up side by side, three rows in front and back, a total of nine ships.

Each battleship carries a hundred sergeants.

The military warships are equipped with twelve god cannons, three on the front, the rear, the left, and the left, which can attack without any dead ends. They are much more powerful than the warships destroyed by Chunlan with the sound of the piano that day.

In addition, this is on the water, the Grand Master's combat power is not as strong as that on land, such a team is enough to kill the Grand Master.

Situ Heng was also among them, he was a first-rank grandmaster, and together with several masters in the army, he was confident that as long as the opponent's grandmaster didn't escape, he would die.

Situ Heng stood at the front of the bow, and beside him stood a man who was about six to seven percent similar in shape and appearance to him, Situ Zong.

The two are brothers, and they also belong to the Dugu family.

One joined the army and became the garrison of Zhenjiang, and the other entered the rivers and lakes and established the Chang 940 Music Gang.

Under the echo of the two sides, they are the emperors along the Zhenjiang waterway.

To put it bluntly, Wu Zhao's words here may not be easy to use.

This is the case in the Tang Dynasty. Although Wu Zhao is the emperor, there are not many places he can actually control.

The power in the Tang Dynasty was extremely dispersed, and the major families were the local emperors in their own lands, and many of them listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

Situ Heng said, "Brother, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

Situ Zong laughed, "If there is any trouble between brothers, don't bother. If you dare to mess with your Changle Gang, you will mess with our Zhenjiang Navy."

Situ Heng hesitated slightly, "I didn't notify Patriarch Dugu this time. We acted on our own. I don't know if we will be punished."

Situ Zong waved his hand, "These people can safely pass through the Weishan Waterway, maybe they have something to do with the Yuwen family, I'm just asking about it normally."

"The head of the family is magnanimous, so naturally he won't care about such a small matter, so don't worry too much."

Situ Heng nodded. Although he and Situ Zong had told the whole thing, they didn't say it completely.

He didn't tell Situ Zong that he wanted to rob the other party because he was short of money, but in the end he could not make a living by stealing chickens.

Instead, they used another set of rhetoric. It happened that their Dugu (chba) family was indeed fighting with Yuwen's family this time, and Situ Zong also believed it.

When it was almost noon, the delicacies had already been arranged in the boat. Under Liu Hao's order, neither Dongmei nor Huang Rong could show off their skills.

In fact, the chefs in the building are not bad at their skills, and they can barely eat it.

After eating two mouthfuls, Liu Hao frowned, "It's really unreasonable to interrupt me during the meal."

Following Liu Hao's words, the speed of the ship also decreased.

Nine military warships have come into view, and the warships are neatly lined up, and the god artillery on the bow has also been aimed.

At this time, not only Liu Yue, but also the rest of the people saw it.

The nine warships have completely blocked the way, and their ships cannot pass at all.

Chunlan laughed, "They probably didn't think about it either, it just happened to be at this point."

"Master, don't be angry, Chunlan will play a song for you."

As she said that, Chunlan had already come to the bow of the boat with her qin in her arms, and she sat down in full.

After a few breaths, the melodious sound of the piano sounded slowly, and it was still the song "Raging Waves", which will once again create shocking waves in the Grand Canal of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Zhou Zhiruo whispered, "The Tang army can be mobilized no matter what. Zhiruo remembers that Daliang's army cannot be easily mobilized."

Listening to the sound of the piano, Liu Hao slowly explained Zhou Zhire's doubts, "The structure of the Great Tang Dynasty is different from that of the Great Liang Daming. There are many families in the Great Tang Dynasty. These families are the local emperors in the region, and they also have a powerful army under their hands."

"These troops obviously belong to Datang, but they are actually the private troops of the great families."

Zhou Zhiruo said, "Isn't this similar to the vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty?"

Liu Hao nodded, "Well, that's pretty much what it means, the difference is not very big. It's just that these aristocratic families sometimes go to the court to discuss state affairs with Emperor Wu, and the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty will not easily enter the court."

There are still differences.

Zhao Min also took up the conversation, "So, although Emperor Wu is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his power is not particularly great."

Liu Hao's voice came from the sound of the piano, "There is still a little bit of power. After all, what Emperor Wu represents is not herself, but also the forces behind her. As long as the emperor's order does not interfere with the interests of the major families, Even if there is a conflict, the major families will not openly oppose it."

Thinking about it, it is also impossible for Emperor Wu to be alone with her. If there is no powerful force behind her, how can the major families be convinced and let her sit on the throne of God.

After all, many people want to sit on this throne.

How many people are there like Liu Hao who sees the emperor's throne abandoned like a bag.

Liu Hao has really done it, he doesn't love the country and beauty.

Just look at Yingying and Yanyan beside her, and you will know which one is not the most beautiful in the world.

The sound of the piano intensified, and the Grand Canal set off a huge wave of [-] meters, which was slapped down like a giant hand reaching the sky.

The brothers Situ Zong and Situ Heng couldn't believe it when they saw the giant wave rising into the sky before their eyes and took pictures.

The warship shook violently in the waves, making a teeth-stinging friction sound.

The soldiers staggered to and fro, unable to stand still at all, and many of them had already been thrown out of the warship and fell into the canal.

In this case, let alone firing the god cannon, it is not bad to save your life.

With fear in their eyes, the two jumped off the boat just before the huge wave was photographed.

Both of them were masters, they stepped on the river and fled towards both banks.

No matter how the sky falls outside, the sea is still calm in the building of my house. The distance between one mile and the other is only a few hundred meters, but it is like two worlds.

Zhou Zhiruo said, "The one who kidnapped me last time was Emperor Wu, right?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that she would chase after Shaoliang and do something so unsuitable. It's really surprising."
