Shishawan is located at an ancient ferry 80 miles northwest of Hukou City. Due to its small scale and poor location, and the two northern countries strictly prohibit civilian ships from traveling, it was gradually abandoned more than 50 years ago. Now it can no longer see its past style.

It’s not that the two countries have no exchanges. The caravans or the people want to travel back and forth between the two countries, and there are three roads to choose from. Jingzhou goes east into Bingzhou in Northern Yan, goes east to Sishui Pass to Northern Yan Yuzhou, and finally crosses from Mengjin to Northern Yan Danzhou. The first two are land routes, the third is the only water route that can be taken and the only water route trade entrance for the imperial court.

In addition to Jingzhou and Sishui Pass, Mengjin Port is only five days away from Hezhou. Qingyan certainly knows that there are many benefits to going to Mengjin, but Hangu Pass, which lies in the east of Chang'an, is like an iron wall of equilibrium. Bailiji must have set up a net of heaven and earth waiting for prey to plunge into it, so choosing to smuggle from Hezhou is a helpless move.

Just as the hour of Hai, a small group of people came to Shishawan. After patrolling for a while, he went straight north and seemed to be searching for someone.

"Young Master Lu, I hope you can give the master a brief explanation. These kidnapped horses are not here to find you, right?"

"It made the Lord of the King of Hall laugh. We brothers and sisters are just ordinary children of the world. Even if we have the ability to send cavalry to search, it can only prove that the general I dealt with at the beginning is likely to be a high-ranking official." Qing Yan's lie is seamless.

Wang Zai pondered for a moment and said, "We arrived at Shishawan at the time of Xu. We have passed four batches of cavalry so far. Look at their armor and armor, all of which are elite kidnapped horses in Luoyang. Mr. Lu, the generals you have dealt with are really extraordinary, at least they are tooth generals."

"Not to mention a tooth general, even if the old emperor of Xiliang wants to bully my girl, I will peel off his skin." Qingyan's expression was very good, "After that, starting from the first batch of crutches I saw, the next batch of crutches will arrive every half of the incense stick. Should we hurry up to prevent the night from getting too long and dreaming too many dreams."

"What Mr. Lu said is very true, but the time for half a stick of incense is really tight."

Qingyan raised his head and looked at the night sky, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, the clouds cover the top of the top tonight are extremely poor. Even if half a stick of incense can't reach the other side of the river, the cavalry will not notice the ships on the river."

"Since that's the case, let's just Mr. Yilu." Wang Zai looked back and whispered, "Push the ship and move quickly."

With a command, the gang members behind him lifted the dead grass and reeds, revealing a small boat that could be carried by five or six people. This was purchased by Wang Zai from an old fisherman for a high price of 200 taels. Because fishing is prohibited from this section of the river, the old fisherman did not hesitate much.

This small woods are a little far from the river beach. Seeing that more than 20 gang members were struggling, Qingyan came to the back of the boat and pushed forward with all his strength. The other gang members thought he was just doing it, but unexpectedly, after joining, the weight of the small boat seemed to be much reduced, and this discovery shocked the gang members.

As the veritable hall master, Wang Zai is definitely not comparable to the embroidered pillow of Shengniutang. His martial arts and eyesight are both good. When he saw Qingyan pushing the boat without blushing, Wang Zai secretly praised him, saying that he is worthy of being the one who beats up the Xiliang generals. With this strength alone, he is far higher than ordinary people.

In just one cup of tea, the boat had already pushed into the river. Because the water in this section of the river was very turbulent, it was not affected by the weather to form solid ice.

"Young Master Lu, these two are good at boating in my church. Although I have never touched the large official boat, this small boat is just a piece of cake for them."

"Lord Wang, I am very kind. When you have the chance, you must go to the headquarters of Jinling Lidu. As long as you tell the Lord Zhu about what to do tonight, I will guarantee that I will sweep the bed to greet you as soon as possible to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

"Time is tight, let's leave here, there will be a time later!"

"There will be a time later!"

In the small cabin, Qingyan waved goodbye, and the river beach gradually moved away. After a while, he rowed dozens of feet away. At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves went from far to near, which shocked the two groups of people on the ground on the river. Everyone knew that such a dense sound of horse hooves could only be the crutch horses in Xiliang.

Qingyan waved his hand vigorously to signal Wang Zai and the others to avoid him quickly. The other party also understood that if he was caught by a kidnapped horse, even if he was not beheaded, the consequences would not be much better. Even if the Qingzhu Gang came forward, he would probably suffer a lot. So Wang Zai waved his hand again and ran to the woods with his people.

"Flying Swallow, let's help too." He picked up the oar and rowed hard at the stern of the boat, but because he couldn't find the trick for using this thing for the first time, the boat was not much faster.

Hu Bugui had already started along the southeast of Hezhou and searched for more than six hours. No abnormalities were found along the way, which made him feel a little impatient. Although Bailiji gave a death order, if he could catch Zhao Qingyan himself, the benefits would definitely be unparalleled.

"General Hu, who are we looking for after searching for so long? By the way, we don't have to take care of the smuggling among the people?"

"What nonsense is it? Your Highness's orders, who dares not obey you? Okay, when the errand is over, I will pay you to drink."

When he heard this, the generals beside him were very happy and thought to himself that his general was a famous iron rooster, but he suddenly became enlightened and prepared to bleed.

"stop!"

Hu Bugui pulled his horse and stared at the sandy land that was not far away. He saw a trace of being dragged spread to the river beach. "You, follow the traces and chase the woods. Within ten miles, you will arrest everyone, no matter who you meet, and the rest will follow me."

At this time, the boat had already rowed nearly a hundred feet away. Qingyan looked at the rushing brigade of cavalry and murmured: "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, don't be seen by these grandchildren, don't be discovered."

By chance, the dark clouds above my head suddenly dissipated, and the bright moonlight fell down, shimmering the river.

After sucking twice, bursts of sounds of breaking through the air came. Qingyan threw back the oar and held the sword in his hand, shouting in a deep voice: "Feiyan! Block the crossbow arrows with me. The other three brothers only need to do their best to move forward, and we promise not to hurt you at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless crossbow arrows flew to the highest point and shot down. Qingyan and Shangguan Feiyan rose up to block the sound, and there were endless sounds of jingling. A large number of water splashes appeared on the river surface around the boat, which made the three gang members very nervous.

"Continue to paddle!"

The three of them knew that speed determines everything. If they stagnate because of fear, their lives can only be lost faster, so they secretly cheered up in their hearts, and they put all their strength into raising their breasts quickly.

"Damn it! It must be him on the boat. I didn't expect that he would be one step late and continue shooting me! All arrows must be shot in half a cup of tea!" Hu Bugui looked at the boat that was getting farther and farther away. It won't take long to reach a hundred feet away. Even if the range of the kidnapped horse is far, it will be beyond his reach.

"Hu Jianjun, it's better to be humble and go to find the navy!"

"It's too late. If you don't shoot the people on the boat to death, you won't have to use half a stick of incense to reach the east coast. Oh... it's a heaven that's gone."

"Hu Jianjun attaches great importance to the people on the ship so much, which shows that the other party's identity is extremely important. Why not send a quick horse to notify the other end of Beiyan and ask them to help intercept it? I believe this face will still be given."

Recalling Bailiji's words before departure, Hu Bugui sighed deeply.

-----------------(I'm a dividing line)

The great scholar of Zhao State once said that Jizhou is the abyss of sages and wise men and the treasure land of emperors. Above the East River, since the West River, north of the South River, south of the Yishui River, thousands of miles of soil, where the heaven and earth meet, where the yin and yang meet, fertile fields, thousands of miles of fertile land, the people win, the soldiers and food are sufficient, which is called the so-called China.

During the Zhao Dynasty, in addition to the capital Handan, Yecheng was the most important to the north of the Yellow River. It was not because of its population and fertile land, but only relying on the front and the river, backing the mountains, and advancing, attacking and retreating and defending, which was enough to become the top priority of the northern dynasty.

Yecheng has been the capital of Northern Yan for more than 20 years. After long-term expansion and operation, it has steadily surpassed Chang'an, and is in a trend of running side by side with Jinling. Even if the scale is still smaller than that of Jinling, its prosperity can be fought for with the world's pearl shining.

In Ye City, in addition to the Mingguang Palace, which represents the highest imperial power, the Crown Prince's Mansion is the most important. The ministers in the court all know that among the more than ten princes of the emperor, the Crown Prince Yi is the one who values ​​the most. The position of the crown prince is very solid, and it will not take too long to be the third emperor in Northern Yan. Therefore, in the past, there were endless guests at the Crown Prince's Mansion, and I don't know how many thresholds were replaced in these years.

Now Princess Fuyao, who is welcomed back to Nan Zhao, is the old daughter of the king. Some ministers with a keen sense of smell have come to see the wind. Just now, before the hour of Mao, many court officials spontaneously appeared outside the city gate, waiting for the delegation to return to Beijing.

"National Master, you and I don't like to show off your face, so why bother to join in the fun?"

"The general is so bad. The envoy of this mission was recommended by Li. It was also recommended by Li to form an alliance with Nan Zhao. It was still Li's idea to marry Princess Fuyao. Now that all three goals have been achieved, of course, we must personally welcome His Royal Highness the Prince." Li took out a sesame cake from his sleeve and ate it.

B's expression was very reluctant, "But what does this have to do with me?"

"My general, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Our Majesty's health is getting worse day by day. I want me to see that it will be the same as Emperor Zhao Ling soon. If you don't leave a good impression before Your Highness ascends the throne, that would be a big loss." Li Yan said vaguely: "I don't know why, it seems to be asking for life like Emperor Zhao Ling. Since his death, our Majesty's health has taken a sharp turn."
