Chapter 96 Westward Journey
Jinling, the Western Qingliangmen. Qingyan and the General Huang Quan of the Wushilang were talking and laughing by the moat.
"Then Yan Ze met His Highness and His Highness, he was responsible for his own fault. Who knew that the old King of Chu and the prince who loved soldiers like his son and protected him extremely. How could he have imagined that the same blood was flowing in the prince's body." Huang Quan gloated after hearing Yan Ze's fate.
"Actually, I didn't think it was too difficult for him. I just wanted to capture King Pei and then the dust settled. But he slapped several brothers from my Huwei Camp. If His Majesty had not asked Li Jian to pass on the order himself, I would have broken all his limbs."
Huang Quan looked back at the city wall, "If nothing unexpected happens, this incident will definitely spread throughout Jinling City within three days. This is a great news for the storyteller in the teahouse."
"General Huang, you are the old subordinate of the father, and I don't treat you as an outsider, so there is no need to hide it. This time I leave the city to go to Xichuan. If it goes smoothly, it will take at least two months to return to Jinling." Qingyan whispered slightly: "I hope the general can pay more attention to helping the royal palace side by side. I thank the general here first."
"Why did Your Highness say this? Side by side with the royal palace is an important part of Jinling City. As the leader of the Xuanwu Camp, I am obliged to protect all the people in the city." Although Huang Quan's words were airtight, the meaning revealed in his eyes was self-evident.
A brisk sound of horse hooves came from the city gate.
The two of them looked like a young girl in full dress. After they stopped her horse, Qingyan opened her mouth wide and looked unbelievable.
"Shang, Shangguan Feiyan?!"
Huang Quan was also surprised to see the heroic and sassy girl turning over and dismounting. He did not expect that Zong Yunhou’s beloved daughter’s equestrian skills were so superb.
"I've seen General Huang." Shangguan Feiyan looked at Qingyan with an exaggerated expression, "What? Didn't Ling'er tell you that I am Xiaoman's lieutenant, one of the 24th lieutenant of Fengmanlou?"
"I know this, but why did the Marquis send you to Xichuan with me? Don't he know the danger of this time?" Qing Yan rubbed his stiff face.
Shangguan Feiyan snorted: "So what's the danger? This Xiaoman Duwei was not given to me by my father for personal gain, but by my ability after passing Fengmanlou's rigorous assessment."
Qing Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Then did Feng Manlou send other commanders this time?"
"I'm the only one."
Hearing the answer, Qingyan staggered and held Huang Quan's arm, "What the hell is the Marquis thinking? Isn't this a typical gift for someone..."
"It's not too late, let's go on the road quickly." Shangguan Feiyan didn't hear Qingyan's low voice muttering, and turned over the horse quickly.
"General Huang, it seems that my trip to the west is really difficult and dangerous."
Huang Quan laughed softly and said, "Why is Your Highness so ignorant? Isn't it great to see Miss Shangguan a top beauty? Such a beautiful woman is a companion?"
"General Huang, if you like this girl, just take it and exchange it for me a hundred experts from Xuanwu Camp."
Shangguan Feiyan listened to the conversation between the two clearly this time, "Don't be ungrateful. If you are really ambitious and don't need Feng Manlou's help, I will go back to the city to find Ling'er to visit Xuanwu Lake. I really think I'm willing to do anything with you."
Take the reins from Huang Quan's hand, Qing Yan smiled and said with a pity: "What did Xiaoman Dudu say? I was just a joke just now, how dare you come back."
Qingyan was also helpless, hoping that Shangguan Feiyan's martial arts skills were not inferior to Ling'er, which was a blessing. Otherwise, she would have to take care of her safety when encountering danger on the road. And if she really wanted to get angry, Feng Manlou's hidden power in Xichuan might cause trouble for herself.
He turned over the horse and Qingyan bowed: "General Huang, take care of it."

"Take care about His Highness and Little Man Duwei."
(I am a dividing line)
Bazhou, located in the south of Jinzhou, east of Yizhou, belongs to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the ravines are crisscrossed. There are Bashan in the north and Wuling Mountain in the south. It can be said to be surrounded by mountains. However, the middle part is mostly hills and the climate is pleasant.
But if you want to talk about the most famous one in Bazhou, there are the twelve bends of the Six Gorges. Qingyan was standing on the deck of an official boat and looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of Fengling Gorge. He saw the clear water and the bottom. The rocks on both sides of the Gorges River were as sharp as peeling, and countless strange flowers and plants were numerous. He looked up and looked up. The sky was wide and he looked around the river bank. The green trees were shady.
Moreover, there is a gorge in the gorge and a beach in the beach, like a winding gallery, full of poetic and written meaning. It can be said that there are scenery everywhere, and the scenery is connected.
"It's really a beautiful scene, why do you say that poem?" Qing Yan was completely immersed in this beautiful scene. He suddenly remembered the poems describing this scene in his heart, but he didn't think about it for a moment.
"I remembered it! The monkeys on both sides of the shore can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed thousands of mountains." As soon as this sentence came out, Qingyan's heart was even more refreshed, without a trace of shame to plagiarize other people's poems.
"I didn't expect that in addition to being good at kung fu, you can also have a few verses of soreness in poetry. It's really unexpected."
Shangguan Feiyan walked to Qingyan and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her.
Qingyan's face was very surprised, "Miss Shangguan, is this poem not bold enough? Not exquisite enough?"
But the other party shook his head blankly: "I know nothing about chanting poetry. Maybe you have done a good job in this sentence."
When Qingyan heard this, he was extremely embarrassed and thought to himself that he had been in this world for so long, but he had never plagiarized poems in his previous life. Unexpectedly, this first time he showed off was a chicken and a duck talking to a cow and a cow playing the piano.
"As at this level, it will take one day to enter the territory of Qushui County, Yizhou. Fortunately, you and I have no signs of seasickness, otherwise I would have suffered."
"Water routes are already the fastest way, and it will take at least five days to walk 6 routes." Shangguan Feiyan was obviously very familiar with the journey.
Qingyan couldn't help but ask: "Miss Shangguan has been to Xichuan before? Why do you think you are very familiar with this?"
"I have never been to Xichuan. I have heard from my father that he has traveled most of the territory of Nanzhao at your age."
"It seems that Your Majesty respected the Marquis many years ago. It is really something that ordinary people cannot ask for when you and me have the opportunity to travel through these great rivers and mountains at your age." Qing Yan sighed.
Shangguan Feiyan shook her head and said, "It's not that she was carrying the emperor's will. At that time, my father had not served in the court. She was just a swordsman in the world."
"As far as I know, people in the world are free and unruly, and never like constraints. With the ability of the marquis, they are extremely easy to make a world in the world, but why did they choose to become an official in the court?"
"I really didn't expect that you, who is the prince who is shoulder to shoulder, could say such a thing. Are you not afraid that I will return to Beijing to study your book?" Shangguan Feiyan picked up his beautiful eyes.
"Of course I'm not afraid. You and Ling'er are very good friends. I am a friend of the Marquis. You won't do this in terms of affection or reason. Why should I be pretentious?" Qingyan answered with a smile on the railing.
"I don't know why my father entered the court, but once I heard from the commander Han Lu that he seemed to have something to do with his mother." Shangguan Feiyan also leaned on the railing.
Qingyan nodded slowly, without asking in depth, and the two of them just helped and leaned back to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait.
Suddenly, the two of them looked tight at the same time.
"Mr. Wang! Can you stop the boat by docking?" Qing Yan was about to come to an official.
The county magistrate heard this
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I was confused, so when I saw that the other party was extremely despicable, I replied: "Report to the prince, although the current water flow seems to be stable, I will reach the most dangerous gorge among the six gorges in less than a cup of tea, so it is not very possible to dock now."
"How many soldiers are there on the ship besides the sailors?"
"I will report to the prince, there are twenty people." The county magistrate asked nervously: "Your Highness, you dare to ask the prince, but what is abnormal?"
"Someone drilled a boat!"
The county magistrate was shocked when he heard this and said unbelievably: "Your Highness the Prince is wrong? The water flowing in front of him is very turbulent. Not to mention people, even if he has no experience in the boat, he dare not say that he has 100% safe past. The officials really can't believe who has the courage to drill a ship this time."
At this time, a sailor ran from the cabin to the two of them, "Report to the prince, the county magistrate, someone dug a boat at the bottom of the ship, and a small hole has been broken."
"Ah? Is there really someone who carries a boat?" The county magistrate believed Qing Yan's words.
"Order the helmsman to hold the bow of the boat, and the sailors row hard, and be sure to drive forward as fast as possible." Qingyan ordered in a deep voice.
"Your Highness the Prince! The prince is brave enough to rush over like this. It must be the ship being destroyed. You must think twice!"
Seeing that the county magistrate was already trembling all over, Qingyan ran back to the helmsman, "No need to rush through the gorge, just look for a stall before the gorge, how sure are you?"
The helmsman was in his fifties, but his arms were extremely thick. When he heard Qingyan’s request, he was shy and happy, "Go back to the prince, if he really wanted to get stuck, this official ship would definitely be damaged greatly, but as long as you ensure that you will not cure the villain's crime afterwards, the villain will be 100% sure."
"Okay! Since that's the case, you will do as my prince's wishes. Not only will you not be guilty of this prince, but you will also let the county magistrate reward you."
When the old helmsman heard the reward, he couldn't stop laughing, "Criminal, please look at it! Guys, Zhang Fan!"
Shangguan Feiyan was almost coming to Qingyan from the cabin. "There are at least ten people under the water. Now four holes have been chiseled at the bottom of the cabin, and it can't last long."
Qingyan stared at the distant gorge and said the plan.
Although Shangguan Feiyan knew that this method was extremely dangerous, it was the most effective method at the moment. The official ship was extremely dripping, and even after being stranded, it would not be washed away by the turbulent river water. By then, the little kids under the water would have no choice.
At the same time, I admire Qingyan's quick wisdom in my heart, I also looked nervously at the gate of the gorge getting closer and closer.
After a while, the entire hull had slight shaking, and the shaking became stronger and everyone on the ship knew that there was no turning back.
"Criminal, let everyone catch something, otherwise they will fall down." The old helmsman had no tension on his face, and his tone was very relaxed.
"Everyone! Enter the cabin!"
"Criminal! You can catch it with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hull shaking suddenly increased. Everyone knew that the bottom of the ship had touched the reef. But the current was too turbulent, and although the ship was slowly descending, the rest of the force was still there.
With a loud "bang", the bow of the ship hit the steep mountain. Even Qingyan was shocked into the air by the recoil force. Fortunately, he grabbed the railing in his hand and was not completely thrown out.
But the next moment, Qingyan's heart rose to his throat. He saw that the railing that Shangguan Feiyan held with both hands seemed to be disrepaired, and it actually took two short distances. Shangguan Feiyan was like a kite with broken strings, holding the broken wood in his hand and flew backwards.
Qingyan didn't hesitate at all, and kicked his feet and flew to Shangguan Feiyan with a shocked look faster.
