Chapter 120 The Building Outside the Building
The iron-armored ship sailing against the current was powered by a fifth-level water and fire system alien raised by thirty-two eighteen rows with raw stones. Sixteen water systems provide pure water sources, and sixteen fire systems are responsible for heating and powering the steam furnace. Under their turn, the steam furnace squirts out billowing white gas, which consumes about 64 rough stones over a hundred kilometers.
In this era, there is no need to pull the boat against the current, nor does it require paddles. The eighteen-row iron-armored ship is really the first step in the era.
It opened from the south pier in Chang'an City and attracted countless attention along the way. It was already difficult to tell which one was the curious ordinary people and which one was the eyeliner of the old Qin family.
Zhang Xiao, who was standing alone on the bow of the boat, was looking at the scenery along the river bank. When he was about to leave the waterway of Chang'an City, his eyes passed through a reed marsh with reeds flying, and saw the big bald head who came to see him, standing alone between the sea of reeds.
The eyes were facing each other and nodded slightly.
Xie Bi said: "Come back alive."
Zhang Xiao said: "If you keep the Martial God Sect, the Bodhi Buddhism will not give up."
Xie Bi nodded and said, "Teacher Gaibo has left Chang'an, and there will be no more movements in the Bodhi Teaching for a short time."
"You can't relax." Zhang Xiao said: "Chen Wuji is already on the verge of the arrow. If Ye Hui cannot be driven off the stage through normal channels, he will definitely jump to the wall to start a war."
Xie Bi said, "Actually, there is nothing to worry about. Ye Hui is not a vegetarian." He said, "On the contrary, you, if you leave Chang'an so high-profile, you may not be peaceful along the way, but you are in this state again."
Zhang Xiao laughed, raised his arms and said, "I am a white dragon on the left and a black dragon on the right, and two gods possessed. Who dares to seek bad luck in me?"
"You can't play with me." Xie Bi smiled bitterly and said, "The case of the tiger and demon is still fermenting. There are too many victims. Su Xiaoxian and Zhang Han have lived in the yamen these two days. The gentry group found Su Chang, meaning that they must dig deep into the end. King Wuji of Chu also submitted a post, and they must hope that they can stop in time."
Xie An from the gentry group must have gone for Hao Shentong. The case was dug to the root of the case, and sooner or later it would involve Hao Shentong. King Wuji of Chu certainly did not want such an important allies to have problems. The chief judge of this case was Su Chang. As the darling of the Supreme Committee, no one dared to use force on her.
Zhang Xiao changed his mind and thought about what Xie Bi was worried about: "Are you worried that Chen Wuji will put his ideas on me?"
"Isn't this possible?" Xie Bi said: "You have me around in Chang'an, and he has no chance to start. Now that you have left Chang'an City, a successful beheading operation can solve all problems. Isn't it worth trying?"
"I'm not paper-made, and the security system of the Eighteen Lines is not."
"I'm afraid of internal problems, so I don't understand why you have to bring that dream color with such an important action?"
"It's because you want to be low-key, but conditions don't allow it." Zhang Xiao asked with a smile: "Why, have you discovered something unusual?"
Xie Bi's tone was a little hesitant: "This Mengse and Tiannuer should have had private contact."
Whose daughter is concerned about? Xie Bi is a tough guy, and he draws a clear line with the little bald man on the surface, but in fact he has always paid attention to Posa Tiannu's every move. When he said this, how could Zhang Xiao not know that the big bald man was reminding him that Mengse and the little bald man were colluding.
Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, come back, I know what I know."
Xie Bi was not relieved and said, "Be careful..."
"It is said that people have more old sayings, trees have more roots, and you are really more verbose as you get older." Zhang Xiao interrupted the big bald man impatiently.
"Whatever you say." Xie Bi looked solemn and said word by word: "Remember what you promised, come back alive." After that, he turned around and returned to the city.
Zhang Xiao looked at his back as he walked away from the air and suddenly regretted saying that.
Xie Bi is not old, he just cares too much. A hero like him has experienced countless separations of life and death, and only when he is particularly unable to let go is this abnormal. Zhang Xiao shared the responsibility of the two black and white dragons for him and resolved the situation where the nine dragons broke through the wall. For Xie Bi, this is not only kindness, but also the righteousness of being one heart, one virtue and one life and death.
......
The third day after leaving Chang'an.
Zhang Xiao ended his brief retreat and was now tasting the river food delivered to the bank branches under the service of the Chekai.
Mengse sat aside and watched with cold eyes.
Chao Chukai, who is not astonishing as a slutty figure, is actually a management genius. He can basically handle everything assigned to him in an orderly manner.
As the chief security officer in charge of Shouyangshan, he is now a big man with authority and countless resources. When he is not by Zhang Xiao, there will be people who will follow him, hoping that some oil and water will flow out from the cracks of his fingers.
But beside Zhang Xiao, he still maintained his former Japanese style, as vulgar and humble as a loyal dog. He did not have the aura of a great man cultivated by raising a vigor.
Mengse didn't understand at first why Zhang Xiao kept such a flatterer by his side, and seemed to have to take him to Shanhailong's Tomb with him.
Two days after the ship left Chang'an, she saw four sentences from this person.
Knowledge and tactful, capable, servile, and loyal.
Which boss wouldn't like such an employee?
Mengse had not seen the secret weapon Zhang Xiao mentioned that he could take people through the divine punishment Thunder Pool. In the past two days, she overturned the entire ship without any discovery. So she wanted to find a way on Chao Chukai, but she was very disappointed. She looked stupid, and Chao Chukai often had a humble smile on her face, but she was a guy who could do things without leaking. No matter how she tried to ask, she would not even leak any words.
At this moment, she looked at Zhang Xiao, and was secretly angry. What kind of treasure is it? It’s so mysterious. I just see when you can pretend.
The iron-armored ship runs fast, and it is faster than others downstream. Mengse is planning the itinerary, and it shouldn't be too far from the Hengshan River section. She still refuses to take it out here, maybe there are no secret weapons at all? Or maybe Zhang Xiao is trying to get me away with other ideas? Mengse is starting to think randomly.
The ship was slowing down. He turned a mountain bend and a small town appeared in front of him. The big ship leaned on the pier and stopped.
Mengse was puzzled and came over and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is not enough supplies on the boat, so add some more before leaving."
Chao Chukai introduced: "This town is called Chaotiandu. It is only 80 miles from here to Hengyang. Hengyang is a city with a population of 3 million. There are many water cargo ships transported there every day, so the shipping industry is very developed. There are many cargo warehouses in the town that specializes in serving passing ships, which will not be delayed for too long."
Mengse had no choice but to accompany her to get off the boat.
Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "You can find a place to eat, drink, and enjoy the scenery first. Leave the matter on the boat to Xiao Chao to deal with."
Mengse didn't say much if he was riding the line by boat, so he nodded and got off the boat with Zhang Xiao. The two left the dock and came to the town.
After walking a few steps to the town, I saw an acquaintance walking towards me, but a small bald figure appeared alone in this small town.
Zhang Xiao saw through and said nothing, and smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
The little bald leader looked at Brother Xiao with complex eyes, shook his head, and said, "No matter how coincidental, I've followed you all the way."
Zhang Xiao pretended to be in a daze and said, "Oh." He asked back, "Is there anything wrong?"
"You can't go forward like this anymore." Posa Tiannu said seriously: "There are ambushes in front!"
"What happened like this?" Zhang Xiao asked in surprise.
Posa Tiannu said, "I am not bullying others. Don't think that the river is turbulent and the iron-armored ship has powerful weapons to rest assured. Chen Wuji sent Futianshan, the head of the Fu family in Beitianshan, to lead a team, preparing to freeze the river for thirty miles. The sword saint Chu Gexie also arrived secretly. There are also some people who I don't know the details. Be sure to intercept you on the river."
"Oh, it's so dangerous." Zhang Xiao said with an exaggerated expression: "Fortunately you appeared in time, otherwise wouldn't I have to be the thieves?"
Posa Tiannu glanced at Brother Xiao deeply and said, "I think it's a waste of time. The intelligence system of the Eighteen-League is not a vegetarian."
Zhang Xiao said: "It is rare that you deliver a letter from thousands of miles away. Whether you help or not, I will always be grateful for your affection. We are about to find a place to have a meal. Since we have met, why not be together?"
"I'll disturb you like this." The little bald man took no politeness and accepted it happily.
The two of them turned into threesomes, and they walked to a restaurant called Louwailou.
"The mountain outside the mountain, the building outside the building, the name is artistic." Zhang Xiao stood at the door and smiled and said, "Let's just go here."
Mengse said: "Louwailou, why didn't I find where this name is Gaoming?"
"A poem is hidden here." Zhang Xiao walked in first and ordered his friend to find a private room next to the window to sit down.
Posa Tiannu asked, "You just said that there is a poem hidden in the name of this building?"
Zhang Xiao did not hide his crotch and said straight to the point: "There are green mountains outside the mountain and the buildings outside the mountain. The long river flies over and the sun never stops. The golden wind makes the wanderer drunk. Don't use Hengyang as Fengyang."
The artistic conception of this poem is moderate and easy to understand. It is about the eighteen lines of brothers who make a living here and welcome and send off every day. Money exchanges can easily make people obsessed with being indulged in luxury, but don’t forget the root.
Posa Tiannu suddenly said, "It turns out that this building is a business of the Eighteen corpses." He couldn't help but admire him secretly. This guy was quick-witted and really ten times better than me.
Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "If you see through it and don't tell it, we can always be good friends." As he said that, he glanced at Mengse.
The little girl frowned slightly, and said in a bad tone: "Yin and Yang people are also sarcastic when speaking."
This sentence was heartbreaking. Brother Xiao was hit hard, and sighed, "You are really a little princess. You can pick up any pot without opening."
Mengse said tit-for-tat: "I'm a villain who is two-faced and three-faced, and I'm a villain who says one thing on the surface, but I'm a villain behind my back."
Zhang Xiao said: "This is just right for you to say it intact."
Mengse said: "I agreed to cooperate with each other and get what you need. You are still hiding with us. I am still unwilling to tell you what secret weapon is. But we are helping you with your heart and lungs. What is this?"
"We?" Zhang Xiao looked at the two of them and asked knowingly: "What does it mean?"
Mengse knew that she had made a mistake, but now there is no need to hide the matter. Posa Tiannu appeared on his own initiative, and he could not hide the sarcastic guy. He simply said frankly: "Since you asked, I might as well tell you that Tiannuer and I are together!"
Zhang Xiao asked, "What are you doing together?"
Chapter completed!
