Long Song Wanli Dingshan River

The distance from Xiangyang to Xiakou is not far, and it can be reached in a day or two if you take a light boat down the river.However, the honor guard fleet of the Chu State was mighty, and they deliberately slowed down their speed, while cruising along the way, and it took three days to travel from the Han River to Xiakou.

Fog fell in the early morning, moistening the mountains on both sides of the river like dripping green, and the air in the morning was soft and cool.

The Han River spreads out like cotton jade, and Princess Yingchuan’s spirit deer walks leisurely at the bow of the boat? Step, Chang Ge teased for a while, and saw that the field of vision suddenly opened up, on the vast wilderness, thousands of lakes are dotted with stars——

This is Xiakou.

Xiakou is located at the junction of the Han River and the Dajiang River. The fleet will turn here and head west all the way to Jiangling, the capital of Chu State.

Before noon, starting from the leading building boats, the welcoming fleet turned to the right rudder one by one, and slowly swung their tails. Thousands of boats turned around together, and the scene was truly magnificent.

The shore is full of people who come to watch the excitement and the princess, and there are some peddlers who know what to do, shouting? Selling? Roasted seeds and nuts.

The leading ship turned around and leaned against the shore waiting for the fleet to complete its tail swing.

Before setting off, the sailors counted people several times, but Chang Ge was nowhere to be seen. Chang Ge was anxious about what to do. Chang Ge swayed to the shore, holding two big paper bags in his arms. Put it on the deck.

Chang Ge bent down and pulled the mouth of the paper bag, and the chestnut fragrance rushed to his face, overflowing the entire deck in an instant.

Following the scent, Linglu paced over, knelt down beside him docilely, tilted his head, as if waiting for the first taste.

Chang Ge asked it: "You? Can you eat it?"

The deer immediately put his head on him, the antlers were soft and hard.

Chang Ge broke a bag for it, wrapped in heat, the smell of honey and chestnuts came out, Linglu bowed his head, and took the chestnuts from his hand, the touch of its mouth and nose was fluffy and warm, Chang Singer Itchy heart.

Is there any at this time? Only fresh chestnuts? For old chestnuts, Chang Ge was worried about the taste, and asked the deer, "Is it delicious?"

The deer pretentiously chewed it twice, perhaps feeling the taste, and the whole head of the deer was about to be arched into the bag.Chang Ge tried his best to drive it away, only to see that the sailors and boatmen were all staring at him, and they wanted to reach out their hands.

He laughed and said, "What are you aiming for, come and eat!"

The people and monkeys on the deck rushed forward eagerly, dividing the chestnuts lively. The sailors on the other ships on both sides saw it, and they were so envious that they wanted to jump into the river and swim over.

At this time, several golden bells rang crisply, and a masked maid came to Changge.Linglu was wandering around beside her, rubbing her head tenderly? This waitress.

Chang Ge saw it at a glance? The golden Ling bracelet on her wrist.

This thing is a longevity bracelet worn by children in the north, with bells on it, and it is not taken off until adults.When Chang Ge was a child, Huo Xuntai also wore a silver bell bracelet on his wrist. When he sent him away from the northern border, the bracelet was given to Huo Xuntai as a ninja.

The waitress saluted: "Princess Yingchuan smells the fragrance of chestnuts. May I ask the general to give you a few? Try it."

Princess Yingchuan has a high status. Although she is on the ship, there are several layers of guards inside and outside the floor where she lives, and even a bird cannot fly in.It is estimated that it is fake that the princess is greedy for chestnuts, and it is true that she is tired of it.

Chang Ge responded and said, "Wait a minute."

He took a step forward and scooped out a few? The sailor with a hippie smile snatching chestnuts grabbed them casually, and they were empty.

The bag full of sugar-fried chestnuts was divided cleanly, not even a chestnut shell was left.

"It's gone?" Chang Ge looked around, and the sailors were laughing and running away with chestnuts in their arms.

After the candied chestnuts were finished, Chang Ge remembered that there were still some snacks in the place where he lived. He wanted the maid to stay where she was, but the waitress said he would go get them together, so he followed him upstairs.

Chang Ge lives on the top floor of the building.

The top floor has a wide view, and it was supposed to be reserved for Princess Yingchuan, but the top floor is also easy to be attacked from the eaves. Chang Ge was worried about the safety of Princess Yingchuan, so he asked for the top floor, and the princess lived on the floor below him.

"You? Wait here. I'll take it out for you to choose."

Chang Ge put down a few words and walked into the house. He was rummaging through boxes and cabinets when the door was slammed shut.

When he turned his head, the maid standing at the door suddenly disappeared.

Then? His left shoulder was lightly patted, and laughter came from the right side. He turned to the right, and the white maid had already removed her veil, and she rolled her eyes with a smile: "It's really Brother Chang."

She walked around Chang Ge like a lark, and her mouth chirped: "Let me take a good look."

"Brother Xuan said you didn't die? I still don't believe it. I really saw you alive this time! A few days ago, I always thought about finding a chance to sneak out, but the nuns saw me too tightly. Until today when Xiakou turned around, the building boat stopped for a long time, and the nuns were tired of waiting, so I took a nap before I figured it out."

After several years of seeing each other, Chang Ge hesitated to recognize him: "You? Are... chess texts?"

Seeing Qi Wen, Dim Sum clapped his hands and said happily, "It's me, it's me! After the Grand Duke passed away, I was made a princess by my uncle."

The only Situ family with blood in the Northern Territory is Qi Wen.

Qiwen is her small characters, single name is ? Yu, she is the granddaughter of the late Sima Situxin of Chu State, and also the grandniece of Situ Jing, king of Wei at that time.

When Chang Ge was ten years old, Chang Chuan sent him back to Chang'an alone. Most of the Chang's family were generals, and there were only a few relatives left in Chang'an City.

At that time, Situ Jing hadn't usurped power to establish himself as the Great Wei, and he was still Grand Duke of Zhou. Seeing that Chang Ge was alone, he brought him to play with a group of Situ's children.

Situ Yu's "Second Brother Chang" was also based on the age ranking of the Situ family, and Chang Ge was inserted horizontally, placing it after Situ Kong and before Situ Wu.

Chess Man's mouth was full of dim sum, and he said stickily: "Second brother's dim sum is delicious! Right now I'm coming to Chu, and we'll be together again in the future! It's not fun to be a princess in Wei, It's so annoying. I'm locked up in a fief all day long. I can't go here or there. I can't ride a horse and I can't fight a big eagle. Whenever I go out, there will be a whole bunch of people following me. The only house given to me is Xuan Xuan. Brother often comes..."

She is not very familiar with Mandarin Chinese, and when she spoke too fast, she added a few words of Xiling dialect, and then she changed the whole dialect of Xiling dialect, with a clever mouth as fast as peeling beans.

Chang Ge said with a smile: "Young girl, are you still thinking about it? Playing."

Qi Wen's eyes are bent like the moon: "It's almost four months, second brother, take me to fight Huang Jizi!"

"Jiangling doesn't have yellow deer, nor grasslands and mountains, only rivers and lakes."[1]

Chess clapped his hands: "That's okay. I haven't come to Chu to play when I grow up so old. Before the Grand Duke was the chief minister in Chu, and he didn't come back once for several years. I'm making a fuss? It depends on the Grand Duke. They all say There are wars everywhere, it's too dangerous. But it's good now, I'm here, and my second elder brother is here. Moreover, Mammy told me that if I marry the King of Chu, I will never fight again."

She had a happy face, but Chang Ge's eyes darkened, and she only asked: "You... really want to marry the King of Chu?"

Chess Wen took a bite? Stuffed it? Immortal bean roast, nodded a little embarrassedly, sticky? Said: "Second brother, you? What kind of person is the king of Chu?"

Chang Ge smiled wryly.

The king of Chu is obedient and obedient, self-willed, and he loved to show off when he was a prince. He never used the laurel pedal to get on and off the car, but stepped on the back of his attendants.

Qiwen is still at the age of cardamom, why should he marry such a person.

"Second brother, why are you unhappy?" Qi Wen blinked his eyes to look at him, raised his "Sen Dou Shao", and handed him his arm, "Here, don't be unhappy."

Chang Ge silently accepted it.

Xiandou Shao was wrapped with scorched honey and filled with white lotus seed paste. It should be sweet and cloying, but he tasted it bitter.

Chang Ge asked: "During the wedding ceremony, did you? See? Brother Fuxu, did he recognize you? Is it Princess Yingchuan?"

Qiwen was holding a fairy bean roast in both hands, his eyes rolled around, and he shook his head: "I don't know."

Changge is a little floating.

He really wanted to save Qi Wen, but right now Chu and Wei are married, and the Great Chu held a grand meeting in Jinlin Pond.

I don't know if Mr. has? Is there? A way to help her.

The two wentssip about when they were young. Qiwen was afraid that his mother would find out, so he didn't dare to stay too long, and wanted to leave in a panic.

Before leaving, Chang Ge packed a big bag of snacks for her. Both of her sleeves were bulging, and she didn't look like a princess at all. She was just a gluttonous little girl.

After crossing the Xiakou River, it enters the Dajiang River.

Jiang Pingye is broad, Chutian? Shu Lang.

At night, the strong wind makes the reeds rustle, and the icy moon seems to be bitten by a cliff, and the moonlight falling down is broken and cold.

The more you go upstream, the more ghosts and gods are going on.

On the building and boat, there is elegant music curling up, separated by a mist, but there is always the sound of a woman crying? Accompanied by both sides.

One? Two? People hear? It can be said to be auditory hallucinations, but more people hear it, and rumors naturally become popular.

Later, the sailors of the Chu army who were escorting the road came to report, saying that the vanguard ship could hear the cry? It was far and near, and followed the sound of singing through the fog, but there was no one there. I am afraid that there are scouts from other countries hiding in the fog. , I hope the fleet behind will be more vigilant.

In the end, the boatman on duty at night heard most of the female ghosts weeping, and scrambled to smash Chang Ge's door. Zhu Zheng pulled the door with a calm face. Weeping and crying, saying I saw it? There is a ghost ship, and the bow of the ghost ship is still there? A woman in Tsing Yi is floating on the river, and she swears that all the sailors on duty at night can testify.

Chang Ge heard it strangely, but he really put on his coat and came with Zhu Zheng? When he was on the deck, what kind of ghost ship and some woman hid behind him? The two of them disappeared.

He didn't blame the boatman, he just thought it was the boatman's hard work, he was sleepy at night, and his eyes were dazzled.

Chang Ge was too lazy to care about the rumors, but the rumors intensified.

By the second day, the ghost ship's remarks had been made up to be loud? The shipwreck, this time He Bo followed the fleet, because he took a fancy to Princess Yingchuan and wanted to snatch her to be his bride!

Chang Ge rolled his eyes when he heard that, what can the Chu army navy do, make up stories? It really works.

At night, the atmosphere on the boat became tense. The boatmen and sailors huddled together in groups of three or five, like bunnies huddling together for warmth in winter, staring and listening to the movement in the river.

In the navy, there were one or two brave Chu sailors who didn't believe in evil. Seeing the big guys so scared, they were even more frightened.A sailor was squatting on the big wooden barrel in the middle of the deck, and said happily: "...the bride has not presented it for a long time, and the uncle of the river was furious. All the boats on the river were smashed to pieces. Summoned the Rain Master to send out mountain torrents, which destroyed ninety-nine and 81 mountains..."

The sailors around? listening to the story? were so frightened that their eyes widened and they couldn't say a word. The black face who told the story smiled and said, "As for? You? You are so frightened."

Then, he also noticed something strange, and immediately froze on the spot——

His shoulder was patted twice by a cold hand, but he clearly didn't hear any approaching footsteps?!

The hand patted him again, and the black face groaned? He fell directly from the barrel, didn't dare to turn his head back, and even rolled and crawled directly over the deck.

Chang Ge was so amused that he couldn't laugh or cry: "Promise! I thought he was so bold."

He looked at the rest of the sailors, who were as obedient as quails, and paced back and forth in front of them. When he was approaching a certain one, he suddenly approached, startling the sailor.

Chang Ge laughed and said, "Why, am I scarier than that female ghost?"

The sailor trembled: "Yes."

Chang Ge frowned: "Yes?"

The sailor panicked: "No, no, no!"

The author has something to say:

[1] Huangmozi: a kind of deer, cherish life, stay away from wild animals

[2] Grand Duke: Grandpa.Wei Wang Situ Jing has no direct granddaughter, Qi Wen is the granddaughter of his younger brother Situ Xin.

These two brothers, once Situ Jing assisted Dazhou, and Situ Xin established Jingzhou (the state of Chu was called Jingzhou at that time), and they were called the two sages. Later, Situ Jing usurped power in Dazhou. His younger brother Situ Xin was the first to disagree. Died by his brother's sword.

After Situ Jing established the Great Wei, he went to Jingzhou in person to scatter the ashes of his brother Situ Xin all over the river.

Situ Xin's grandchildren, the king of Wei regarded them as his own, and many of them were granted titles. Princess Situ Yu of Yingchuan is an example.

Qi Wenxu was fourteen years old, and he was Fang Cardamom.In Chang Ge's impression, she was only six or seven years old.

This... other people get married, it's as if you and the two of you are married
