This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 81 The Giant Dog Pulls the Coffin
For the Northern Song Dynasty, the two neighbors in the north are both wolves, but wolves are also divided into different species.

Green wolves are wolves, and huskies are wolves too.

Xixia is the blue wolf, fierce and cruel, and when he is unhappy, he goes to the north of the Song Dynasty to fight grassy valleys.

As for the Liao Kingdom, it used to be a wolf, but for some reason, it gradually turned into a husky.

Now that the white disaster has appeared, with the virtues of Xixia, it must be looted in the south.

The imperial court has already drawn up the Western Xia strategy, which was originally planned to be implemented after the spring. As a result, the plan is very likely to be advanced.

If Lu Sen wants to participate in the strategy of Xixia and get the post of supervisor, he will have to rush back to the capital of Bian.

Lu Sen said goodbye to Ouyang Xiu, and took everyone on the square wooden boat he had built before, and went upstream from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to the capital of Bian.

It's just that even the northern rivers of Hangzhou are covered with thin ice, not to mention the areas further north.

The square boats sailed to the northern boundary of Suzhou and could no longer move forward. In front of them was a vast white river... Many boats stopped on both sides of the river, and some small boats were frozen in the center of the canal.

Fortunately, the ice layer was thick enough that the boat was frozen, and the people above were able to come down and step on the ice to land.

Not life threatening.

"It seems that the only way to go is overland. But it's more dangerous when it's icy and snowy." Yang Jinhua took his eyes back from the outside, sighed, then looked at Lu Sen and asked with a smile, "Is there a way for officials?"

In her eyes, the officials of her own family are very powerful, and maybe there is a way to quickly return to the capital of Bian.

"let me see!"

Lu Sen sat in the boat, pretending to be thinking and closing his eyes. In fact, he was opening the system recipe bar to see what recipes could solve the current problem.

After watching for a while, he put his attention on a formula.

Organ Puppet Beast (Icefield Dog): A special organ beast used for pulling goods in the snowfield, without any combat power.

Lu Sen has always been able to create puppet beasts, but the low-level puppet beast formula is more inclined to life functionality.

In addition, there are two kinds of wooden cows and flowing horses, which are also used to pull goods, but the corresponding environments are not the same.

And Lu Sen is an otaku and doesn't need to go out to do business, so the function of pulling goods is not useful to him at all.

In addition, the puppet beasts must be connected to an external energy pack. Now the only thing Lu Sen can do is the redstone energy pack. This thing consumes a lot of gems. The projector is equipped with an energy pack, which consumes more than a year of his storage. Down, about half of the gems.

So like this kind of puppet with little combat power, you need to receive an energy pack for it?

So extravagant!

However, this time it can only be wasted.

Just as he was about to synthesize, Lu Sen suddenly remembered something, looked at his system backpack, and sighed helplessly.

The gems were kept at home and not brought out.

Because under normal circumstances, you don't need to bring any gems when you go out.

Seeing Lu Sen's helpless expression, Yang Jinhua comforted: "Officials don't have to be lost, people are always overwhelmed."

No one thinks this is strange. Lu Sen is still young, and he already has great powers. If he is allowed to practice for a few decades, can he still get it?
"There is a solution, but some materials are lacking." Lu Sen turned his head and asked, "Is there a place like the Strange Objects Restaurant in Suzhou?"

Yang Jinhua shook her head and said, "Officer, this is my first time out of the capital. I don't know much about Suzhou."

"Me too." Zhao Bilian was wrapped in a cloak, and she was a little afraid of the cold.

Pang Meier didn't speak, and she didn't even know if she wanted to.

But at this time, a certain Jianghu person in charge of Pang Meier suddenly clasped his fists and said: "Suzhou not only has a strange object restaurant, but also has three places. I am quite familiar with this place. If Lu Zhenren doesn't dislike it, I would like to lead the way for Lu Zhenren. "

"I'll trouble you then." Lu Sen said to the others at the same time, "Since we have stopped, let's stay here in Suzhou for one night."

Several people agreed.

They planned to abandon the boat on the river for the time being, and several boatmen from the Runan County Prince's Mansion were reluctant to leave.

They said to guard the boat lest anyone steal it.

Anyway, there is enough food on board and bedding, so there is no need to worry about survival.

It's no wonder they are like this. This riverboat built by Lu Sen has excellent performance.

The hull is light and very stable when driving, and the hull is extremely strong, and at the same time, it is quite large from the perspective of a river boat.

It's a 'top boat'.

Such a boat, few boatmen dare not place it at will, and no one is on duty. What if it is occupied by someone?
Seeing their insistence, Lu Sen persuaded them a few words and then let them go.

He took Yang Jinhua and a few others to step on the ice layer to the river bank, and then entered the city of Suzhou.

Because of the cold weather, there are many fewer pedestrians on the streets of Suzhou City, which appear to be scattered.

First, I found a very luxurious hotel and placed Yang Jinhua and others.

Then Lu Sen came to a strange object house under the guidance of the Jianghu person.

Qiwuzhai naturally sells 'weird things', all kinds of wonderful stones and gold, and jade bronze inscriptions.

Lu Sen went over and asked, "Treasurer, are there any gems here?"

"There are quite a lot of gems, how much do you need for the young man?" The shopkeeper with the splayed beard clasped his fists with both hands and smiled flatterly: "This shop only sells good gems."

Lu Sen's complexion is fair and his temperament is dusty. At first glance, he is not an ordinary person.

This is a big customer coming. The shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect, he turned around immediately, took out a certain box behind the counter, opened it again, and the inside was suddenly full of jewels.

Pearls, natural crystals, glazed sheets, opals, etc.

Lu Sen flipped through it for a while, picked out relatively large gems such as opals, rubies, and amethysts, made a small pile, and asked, "How much does the shopkeeper calculate?"

The shopkeeper looked at each one, estimated the price, and said excitedly, "Guest officer, give the villain [-], and you can take these treasures away."

At this time, the Jianghu people next to him came over and whispered, "Zhenzhen Lu, it is at least ten thousand dollars more expensive."

The voice was not too low. The shopkeeper on the opposite side heard it, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Since you're a connoisseur, let's take fifty, and I'll be at a loss. This guest officer, how do you plan to pay the bill, the villain will not accept it? son."

Jiaozi had already appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, but not long after the birth, many merchants did not accept it.

Lu Sen took half a gold ingot from the system backpack and placed it on the counter. He smiled and said, "Find some silver for me, and I don't want to give it."

The shopkeeper picked up the gold ingot, weighed it again, and bit it with his teeth. After doing this several times, he confirmed that it was a high-quality gold ingot and said with a smile, "This gold ingot is worth [-] ounces, and the villain is looking for ten ounces of silver. To the guest officer, okay?"

Half a gold ingot, about the same price, Lu Sen nodded.

Soon, the shopkeeper put the selected gems in a very good-looking box, and put a few pieces of silver in it, and then pushed it in front of Lu Sen, smiling: "Thank you for taking care of the villain's business, in the future. Come often."

"You're welcome." Lu Sen picked up the wooden box, turned around and left.

After going out, Lu Sen took out a peach from the system backpack and handed it to the Jianghu person next to him: "Brother, please lead the way, and thank you for reminding me just now."

"Lu Zhenren doesn't need to be polite. This is what a villain should do." Jianghu people took the peach without rejecting it, and smiled happily at the same time.

Now who doesn't know that the 'Peach in the World' planted by Lu Zhenren is a good thing, although the effect is not as good as jade honey jelly, but it is also a rare treasure.

Then the Jianghu man was two steps behind Lu Sen and swallowed the peach in a few bites.

There is no way, he is afraid that if this peach is kept, it will be taken away, so it is better to eat it first.

After he finished eating, he felt a slight heat in his body flowing along the meridians, and after transforming it with internal force, he could at least endure the past year of penance.

Earn a year's worth of internal power.

He suddenly wanted to eat another one, but then shook his head helplessly, knowing that he thought too much.

Why should Lu Zhenren give him another one?
Now he really hopes that he is Lu Zhenren's subordinate, but he knows that most of the other people don't look down on him.

The two returned to the hotel, and in the main building, they saw Yang Jinhua, Zhao Bilian, and Pang Meier sitting at a table, and opposite them was a middle-aged man and two teenagers in fancy clothes and a luxurious red cloak. Lang.

As soon as Lu Sen stepped into the hotel, Yang Jinhua saw it. She stood up and said with a happy smile, "Officer, you are back."

Lu Sen walked over: "Well, things are almost done."

"That's good." Yang Jinhua then introduced to Lu Sen: "This is the king of Xiangyang, and these two are his unicorns. Like us, they also entered Beijing by boat, but they were also stuck in Suzhou City. ."

The three of Yang Jinhua had met the King of Xiangyang in the Bian capital, and they knew each other.

"I've seen the King of Xiangyang and the two princes." Lu Sen cupped his hands and bowed.

The King of Xiangyang also stood up. Although he was close to old age, his face was like a crown of jade and his black beard was thick, and he still looked very young.

"This is Lu Zhenren." King Xiangyang smiled kindly: "Even if this king is in Songjiang, I have heard of your name and admired it for a long time."

At this time, a young man next to him stood up and said excitedly, "Zhenzhen Lu, I heard that you know the magic in your sleeves, so quickly show it to us?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

What is Lu Zhenren's identity, you just let him perform?

When he is your doorman?
The King of Xiangyang coughed lightly, turned his head and reprimanded: "Kuan'er, shut up and sit down."

The young man looked at his father and sat down unconvinced.

The King of Xiangyang continued: "The dog is ignorant, and the old man accompanies Lu Zhenren."

After saying that, the King of Xiangyang leaned over slightly and then cupped his hands.Given his identity and age, it is already very sincere to be able to make such a gesture.

Lu Sen clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Where, where, the king of Xiangyang is serious."

Then Lu Sen asked Yang Jinhua, "Can you book a room?"

Yang Jinhua nodded slightly.

"King of Xiangyang, I still have some things to discuss here. It's a pity that I can't have a drink with you. Please forgive me." When Lu Sen spoke, his tone was very sincere.

In addition, Lu Sen had just returned from outside, and he was still wearing snowflakes, so this reason was very convincing.

"Where, it's the old man who got in the way of Lu Zhenren's important business." King Xiangyang waved his hand indifferently.

Then Lu Sen took Yang Jinhua and others upstairs.

The King of Xiangyang sat down. Now it is snowing heavily, and the three of them are sitting in the main hall, which is very deserted.

After a while, the young man named 'Kuan'er said angrily, "How dare you put on airs in front of us. Dad, you haven't returned to Beijing for more than three years, and no one takes you seriously."

When the King of Xiangyang heard this, he smiled very happily: "Being a father, I don't need others to treat me as a big man. You two should keep a low profile for the time being, understand?"

The two teenagers reluctantly replied 'yes'.

Lu Sen took Yang Jinhua and others upstairs, while Pang Meier returned to her room. She couldn't follow Yang Jinhua into the room.

She is not Lu Sen's wife and concubine. If she really entered the room, what would it be like!

When the three entered the house, Zhao Bilian immediately closed the door.

Then he walked over with a thief laugh, and seemed to be a little excited and said: "The official can't bear it anymore, do you want to prostitute in the daytime?"

Hearing this, Yang Jinhua immediately started to smoke, walked over and pulled Zhao Bilian's cheek to the side, and said angrily, "Zhao Bilian, can you adjust it? Now that you are out of the house, it is very likely that there will be ears on the wall. If you are heard, the reputation of the officials will be ruined by you."

Zhao Bilian screamed in pain, but seeing Yang Jinhua's face full of anger, she didn't dare to struggle, so she could only let Yang Jinhua pull her face.

After a few chats, Yang Jinhua's anger subsided a lot, turned around and walked to Lu Sen's side, and asked, "Guanren, you seem to be avoiding the King of Xiangyang, what's the matter?"

After all, they are husband and wife, and Yang Jinhua has become more and more aware of Lu Sen's temperament.

Lu Sen sat down and said, "It was Mount Tai who told me to be careful about this person. He said that if I were in the south this time, if I bump into someone or something related to King Xiangyang, it's best not to get involved. According to what he got According to information, there seems to be something wrong with the recent actions of the King of Xiangyang."

"Hey, did father tell you so many things?" Zhao Bilian looked surprised.

Lu Sen laughed when he heard this, and had to say that Prince Runan was indeed a good father-in-law and treated Lu Sen very well.

"So I don't want to deal with this person. Later, I will let Heizhu and Ringo rest early, get up early tomorrow, and leave here directly to avoid the King of Xiangyang." Lu Sen lowered his voice: "On Pang Meier's side, let the You or Zhao Bilian go to inform."

Yang Jinhua hadn't spoken yet, when Zhao Bilian patted her chest on the side, and in the waves, she said softly, "Leave this to me."

With a plan, the next few people quickly ate dinner, and then climbed into bed as soon as it got dark.

When the next day was slightly brighter, a few people walked down to the main hall lightly, handed over the rent, and left.

And when the King of Xiangyang took his two sons down from the third floor to the main hall, it was already a matter of incense sticks.

The King of Xiangyang had breakfast in the main hall, and waited for another half an hour. He didn't see Lu Sen coming down, so he called the shop assistant and asked, "A few distinguished guests on the second floor, haven't you got up yet?"

"They settled the rent early and left."

King Xiangyang and his two sons were a little surprised, and then King Xiangyang's expression became a little ugly.

At this time, Lu Sen and others were already 'speeding' on the ice layer of the canal.

Two huge pale-gold wooden giant dogs ran ahead, pulling a large sled.

The sled is also made in the style of a matchbox house for wind protection.

The wooden dog ran extremely fast, holding the snow in its hands, and where it passed, there was a rumbling sound, causing pedestrians on the shore to frequently look sideways, and then scream in panic.

"It snows heavily in the spring, monsters appear in the world, and giant dogs pull the coffin." Seeing this, a scholar shouted nonsense in panic, "This is an ominous omen."

Not to mention, the matchbox-shaped sled looks like a coffin from a distance.

The one sitting at the front controlling the two giant wooden dogs was Yang Jinhua.

She couldn't do it with excitement at this time, shaking the reins, while shouting 'driving'.

The blood of Jiangmen's children was inspired.

The sled went all the way north, the weather was getting colder and the ice was getting thicker.

Then I saw more and more river boats frozen on both sides of the river.

Many merchants and travelers are stranded in small villages or cities on both sides of the canal.

Some even stayed on the ship.

These people saw the picture of two giant dogs pulling the 'golden coffin' and whizzing past, and all of them were too frightened to move.

After that, rumors of youkai appeared in the canal, and it began to radiate around.
