Luomei Villa is now rich and powerful, and has a fleet of ships on the Yangtze River.Jiang Wanzhou quickly arranged for someone to board one of them with Yao Ximu in the evening.

The waterway is very fast, and the wind is smooth, and the pier in Zhenjiang can be reached in the next morning.

Yao Ximu stood on the deck, refusing to go into the cabin to rest, Li Huimao stood beside him, arms folded, wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Wanzhou looked at Yao Ximu from a distance for a while, feeling upset. She wanted him to go back to the cabin with her, but now she thought that he didn't want to listen to her at all, so she didn't plan to go forward to ask for it. Uninterested, he turned and went back to the cabin.

Before Mao's time, the ship had already arrived at Zhenjiang Wharf.He had just landed, and an eyeliner immediately reported that he had left Zhenjiang on Yu Taishi's boat and was heading for Jiangyin. He was supposed to go out of the mouth of the Yangtze River and change to a sea boat to cross Fusang.

The boat continued to sail, but before it reached Jiangyin, it received news that the waterway ahead was blocked, and the boat that the group took was forced to stop.

"The purpose of blocking the waterway is to intercept Taishi Yu. The officers and soldiers set up an ambush along the road and will not let him go to sea." Jiang Wanzhou told Yao Ximu what he knew, "He wants to cross to the east, so he can only go to Qingbodu to change sea boats. We just need to go to Qingbo ferry."

"En." Yao Ximu nodded.

"Let's speed up the horse, it may not be slower than walking by water. But your right hand is injured and you can't steer the horse." Jiang Wanzhou omitted the temptation and directly arranged: "Come with me."

"Can I ride with my big brother?"

"Okay, you can go to the horse dealer to buy a good horse now, or let him steal it, it will come faster."

Yao Ximu pursed his lips, and immediately understood Jiang Wanzhou's meaning—either ride with him and hit the road immediately, or make trouble with Li Huimao by himself.I don't know how much time it will take to toss, and it may not be possible to find a good horse that can travel thousands of miles a day.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

He reluctantly agreed to Jiang Wanzhou: "I'll be with you..."

"That's right." Jiang Wanzhou carried him onto the horse, pulled his cloak around him, and wrapped his left arm around him.Yao Ximu twisted his body, knowing that there was nowhere to hide, and his right hand was unable to exert strength, so he could only lean on his chest, his posture seemed to be attached and affectionate.Jiang Wanzhou was very satisfied with his weak and docile appearance. During the bumps, she bowed her head and whispered to him: "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable, I will slow down."

Yao Ximu was in so much pain that he was unwilling to open his mouth, thinking silently: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

The three of them ran westward, and the more they went to Qingbodu, the more chaotic they became. A group of officers and soldiers came on horseback and occupied the main road.Jiang Wanzhou hurriedly rode his horse and turned onto the path. Li Huimao was swept away and disappeared. After running through several streets, Li Huimao caught up with the two of them. He said leisurely: "I just saw Gong Qi from Lantian Bieye. Now, he also took his troops to Qingbodu, how come Lantian Bieye also got involved? This is fun."

Jiang Wanzhou said in a deep voice, "After Lantian Bieye changed hands, it turned against Grand Master Yu. This time, it's probably because of the trouble. It may be that the imperial court made a promise to them. If they can catch Grand Master Yu, it will be a great achievement."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes, Li Huimao looked around and saw that the people who came were all wearing turbans and wearing long swords at their waists, but they were members of the Frost Sword Sect.

I also saw two groups of people rushing from the east and west, with different hexagrams embroidered with black thread on the collars, and the people from Misty Rain Forest also arrived.

Jiang Wanzhou sneered and said, "It seems that all the sects have gotten wind of coming here, and I don't know what the court promised them. They are so anxious to stop Grand Master Yu."

"Treasures and power." Yao Ximu tilted his head and said lazily: "Although the rivers and lakes and temples are not related, the two are often intertwined with each other. Now that Luomei Villa is too powerful in the rivers and lakes, there must be someone Support another organization that is evenly matched with Luomei Mountain Villa, so as to balance the forces, and not let any one dominate so that those in power can't control it."

Jiang Wanzhou didn't expect Yao Ximu to say such a thing, looked at him with interest, and said, "You actually know this?"

Yao Ximu was upset in his heart, couldn't help but give him a blank look, and immediately retorted: "Do you think I don't know anything other than cooking and making beds?"

"That's not what I mean." Jiang Wanzhou denied, "I think you've grown up a lot, and you're not as careless as you were before." The impression that Mu once had in his heart was unbearable, and he seemed to be getting darker and darker, so he simply shut up.

"I didn't mess around too much before." Yao Ximu didn't want to talk to him anymore, and only talked to Li Huimao: "Brother, do you have to go to Qingbodu to take a sea boat if you want to go east to Fusang?"

"That's right." Li Huimao nodded, raised his hand to touch the newly grown stubble on his chin, and replied casually: "At this time, the wind is in the right direction, and there are no strong winds and waves on the sea. It is a good time to go. After that, we can only go." Wait another year."

Yao Ximu thought for a while, frowned and said: "The imperial court has officers and soldiers who can be dispatched at any time, why should they release news to let these rivers and lakes get involved? Most of them already have rifts and old enemies, and they all came here for the same purpose, so it is inevitable There's going to be a fierce fight, and when the time comes for this gang of mobs to make a mess at the pier, who will take advantage of it and take the opportunity to escape?"

"The news must have been released by Taishi Yu himself." Jiang Wanzhou continued: "He has controlled the government for a long time, and no one will doubt it."

While talking, the three of them ran for a few more miles. When they passed a large school field, they heard the noise of people talking. A group of people were dispersed by officers and soldiers and rushed to the side of the road. The officers and soldiers on standby explained something, and after they were done, they hurried towards the pier.The people on the side of the road said: "The traces of Grand Master Yu have been discovered, and the officers and soldiers are going to arrest him." Another person said: "Grand Master Yu has people from Fusang to help him, so it is very difficult to deal with. To stop him."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone gritted their teeth: "Grand Master Yu harmed Zhongliang and harmed the common people. Back then, many salt merchants lost their money by arguing with the salt order. Now they have finally collapsed! I hope the officers and soldiers will catch him quickly!"

"Is it easy to catch him? He has colluded with Fusang for a long time, what if he is sent eastward by this traitor?" One person asked nervously.

"No! Talented people come forth in large numbers, and many masters have come here this time. He will definitely not let him escape easily!"

The three of them heard everyone's conversation clearly, looked at each other immediately, and knew clearly in their hearts-it was indeed Grand Master Yu who had arrived.The official road has been closed, Li Huimao looked at the map, found the nearest path, and rushed over without stopping.

On the way, I passed a market selling seafood. The road inside was narrow, full of people, and the sky was filled with excitement.Jiang Wanzhou was riding on a tall horse, with a handsome appearance and luxurious clothes, and she was holding a person in her arms. Walking in such a place was very eye-catching.People passing by all looked up at them.Yao Xi was a handsome man, but Jiang Wanzhou held him in his arms. He felt ashamed at first, but now that he was surrounded by everyone, he immediately buried his head in the cloak without thinking about it, not wanting others to see him.

The market is very unclean, the ground is full of sewage, and the smell of all kinds of seafood is mixed into a stench, which is extremely unpleasant.

Jiang Wanzhou frowned, trying to turn around to find another way, but Li Huimao stopped him.

"This is the shortest way to the pier. If you go around, you will have to walk more than 30 miles. By then, the day lily will be cold."

Jiang Wanzhou had always been afraid of getting dirty, and felt that walking an extra 30 miles was better than going to the market in front of him, as if he would defile himself by walking into that pickled place.Jiang Wanzhou hesitated on the spot, but Yao Ximu couldn't wait. He threw off his cloak and was about to roll off the horse's back. Said: "Are you so impatient?"

Yao Ximu glanced sideways at Jiang Wanzhou, and at the same time felt that his arm was slowly exerting force, and he was so restrained that he couldn't move.Yao Ximu suppressed his excitement, not intending to make Jiang Wanzhou lose his temper at this time, so he took a deep breath and said in a soft voice: "Brother Wanzhou, I beg you, just leave here. Dirty I'll do the brushing when you get off the horse, and I'll wash your clothes if they get dirty." His eyes were involuntarily filled with tears, and he begged, "Just go from here, okay?"

Li Huimao didn't want to see them grinding and chirping, so he rode his horse forward. After walking a few steps, he flicked his whip and yelled loudly: "The horse doesn't have eyes! Kick it to death! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" He shouted all the way, and ran away with his horseshoes all the way. The panicked crowd separated to both sides like a tide. Seeing this, Jiang Wanzhou stopped hesitating, clamped his horse's belly, and ran away with Li Huimao.

After walking a few li, I heard ping-pong-pong-pong in the distance, the sound of weapons clashing endlessly, and faintly heard shouts of killing.There was a lot of fire ahead, and it was actually the direction of the pier.Li Huimao wondered, "It's on fire?" Jiang Wanzhou looked up, but the fire was rising from the place where the sails lined up and the boats and boats met, and the smoke was billowing. They screamed and jumped into the water.

Several parties were fighting fiercely in front, Li Huimao caught a glimpse and saw the people from Misty Rain Forest fighting with the people from Ice Sword Sect.Day by day, the sun is shining white, reflecting the light of the knife like snow, shining brightly.In the chaotic fight, some people were scalped by a machete, bleeding; He was disemboweled on the spot, and the situation was extremely miserable... The heroes had given up their tricks, danced with swords, shouted to kill and shook the sky, and fought on their own.

The flames danced wildly into the sky, like neon lights. I don't know how many people fell into the water, and the waves rushed to the shore with blood.

But at this time, the trace of Grand Master Yu has not yet appeared.
