That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 347

Everyone knows that there are eight great families in Jiangnan: "Xie, Zhao, Yan, Han, Bai, Tang, Li, and Sun".

The leader among them is Jiang Zuo Xie's family. Li Shidao belongs to the seventh ranked Li family, but it is not an orthodox lineage. The real foundation of the Li family is still in Jiangling, Huzhou, the Jiangling where Zhang Jiangling, a famous minister through the ages, was born.

Jiangling can be said to be a blessed place. First there was Zhang Jiangling, the famous prime minister of the former dynasty, and then there was Lanyu, the current chief assistant.Although Lan Yu is not from Jiangling, she made her fortune from Jiangling. When Emperor Xiao made his first southern expedition, he first conquered Shuzhou, and then entered the lake from Shu. He set up camps in Jiangling and Jiange respectively. Jade.

Half of today's Jiangnan army is based on the old background inherited from the Jiangling camp. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are Lanyu's old troops. Generals of the Jiangnan army such as Chen Qiong and Liu Fan naturally follow Lanyu's lead, and the Li family, as the Jiangling clan, The relationship with this Lord Lan is even more profound, so Huzhou has always been regarded as Lan Yu's forbidden domain, and some people even privately refer to Lord Lan as Lan Jiangling.

It’s just that today’s Huzhou has been turned upside down. With the downfall of Chen Qiong and Liu Fan one after another, Xu Beiyou and Yu Kuang forcibly opened a huge gap in Huzhou, which was originally like a fortified wall. In the hands of the three major towns in Huzhou, there is only one Jiangling left.

Today's Yu Kuang, although he is no more than Zhuge Gong, the former left governor of the Northwest Army, is directly called the Northwest King, but after he rectified the Jiangnan Army with thunder, the idea of ​​the Huzhou King has been quietly circulated in private.

The five left governors alone hold hundreds of thousands of military power and are responsible for the defense of several states.

After the May Girl's Day, the contented Yu Kuang invited Xu Beiyou to Huzhou as a guest. After Xu Beiyou made some arrangements, he temporarily handed over the affairs of Jiangdu to Li Qinglian. Go to Huzhou.

After leaving the city from Jiangdu, instead of staying in Jiangzhou, go straight to the pier, and then turn to take a boat and go upstream along the river.

This time was different from the past, it wasn't about plotting something ulterior, so Xu Beiyou walked in an aboveboard manner, specially called a building boat, walked at a leisurely pace, and enjoyed the scenery all the way, but he was at ease.

Along the way, in addition to urging Li Shentong to build a foundation and practice Qi, Xu Beiyou would occasionally point out Wu Yu's cultivation. It's still much better. She had lingered in the first-rank realm for a long time. Once she watched the scenery at night, watched the moon pouring into the river, and realized it. It is advancing by leaps and bounds.

But Wu Yu himself didn't have much joy, he just took it as a matter of course.

On the third day after leaving Jiangdu, Lou Chuan entered Jingjiang.

Jingjiang, [-] miles long, was named because it belonged to Jingzhou in ancient times. Because of its twists and turns, it is called Jiuqu ileum.

To the north of the Jingjiang River is the area of ​​the ancient Yunmeng Daze, and to the south is Dongting Lake. Due to the low-lying terrain, a large amount of sediment was deposited here. Dachu began to build embankments to prevent water, reclamation of the Yunmeng Daze, and to Dazheng to form the Jingjiang Levee on the north bank.

Xu Beiyou stood at the bow of the boat in a white robe, and said with a smile to Wu Yu, who was also in a white dress beside him: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'thousands of miles of rivers are dangerous in Jingjiang'. Back then, Li Xiaocheng, the god of Dinghai in the Great Chu, once used this iron After locking the Hengjiang River to stop it, a large army was built to cross the river, and there are still ruins, and many scholars love to come here to pay tribute to the past.”

Wu Yu's eyes were a little blurred, and he said: "The last time I went to Huzhou, I didn't have the generosity of my senior brother. I could only go by land. I didn't expect to miss such a beautiful scenery."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "Then this time it will be made up."

Li Shentong poked his head out from the boat building behind the two of them, looked at Master and Aunt standing side by side on the bow of the boat, rolled his eyes, and retracted his head again.

Although Li Shentong is young, he is extremely intelligent. Otherwise, Xu Beiyou would not have picked him up as a disciple. When his peers were still peeing and muddy, he already knew a little about men and women.

In his opinion, the master and the aunt stand together, which is really like a couple of gods and immortals, especially Aunt Wu Yu, who said that women should be pretty and filial. Wearing white clothes at this time is really like a heaven and a man. As for the master Well, although it's not Yushu Linfeng, but at least it is much better than other goods, and it can be considered so-so to match Aunt Wu Yu.

Since the two of them are alone, he won't bother them.

The moment Li Shentong quietly closed the window, Xu Beiyou turned his head and glanced in this direction thoughtfully.

With his current level of cultivation in the realm of immortality, even mosquitoes, rats and ants cannot escape his perception, and Li Shentong's movements are naturally "clearly seen" by him.

This apprentice is a bit interesting.

Wu Yu followed Xu Beiyou's gaze, but saw nothing, and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Beiyou turned his head again, smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Wu Yu snorted and didn't continue to ask.

This former head disciple of the Yanyu Building knows how to click and stop.

The building boat continued to move forward, the water became more and more turbulent, and the cliffs on both sides faced each other layer by layer, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, leaving only a line of sky, and the river surface became narrower and narrower. The fate of the ship wrecked and the lives lost is extremely dangerous.

Wu Yu looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and splashed water on his body from time to time. Just about to turn around and leave, his eyes suddenly widened.

I saw a building boat drifting in the middle of the river ahead, with a Taoist sitting cross-legged on the bow, fishing with his eyes closed.

Xu Beiyou also saw the Taoist and the Lou Chuan, his expression was normal, he didn't intend to stop the boat at all, and continued on his way.

As the distance got closer, Wu Yu could already see the Taoist's appearance clearly. There was nothing unusual about his plain face, and the Taoist robe on his body was not in the style of a Daoist Daoist who showed his identity. He was holding a green bamboo fishing rod in his hand, and the silver thread was the thread , hooked in the water, can not see clearly.

Seeing Xu Beiyou's big boat coming straight towards him, the Taoist shook his fishing rod lightly.

The green bamboo fishing rod was bent into a half-moon arc, the fishing line was dragged up, and a golden hook shot straight into the sky.

With this throw, thousands of waves were rolled up.

Wave after wave rolled towards Xu Beiyou's big boat, unexpectedly stopping the boat's castration.

After a while, the fishing line and the golden hook fell from the sky like huge boulders, smashing hard into the surface of the river, creating a huge wave.

The two building boats were affected by the huge waves, and each drifted backwards and receded.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to support Wu Yu, who was a little unable to stand, and said softly, "Go back to the cabin first, and leave it to me here."

Wu Yu nodded, said to be careful, then turned and left.

After Wu Yu left, Xu Beiyou looked at the Taoist and asked, "Why do you dare to ask the chief to block the way?"

The Taoist said in a staid tone: "Only for the countless dead souls in the Taoist workshop."

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "Although the Taoist priest is in the realm of the earth fairy, but if he wants to take down Xu, he may not be able to do it."

The Taoist shook his head calmly and said, "Not necessarily."

Xu Beiyou chuckled, and stretched out his hand to point in front of him.

Every time a finger is pointed out, a long sword emerges out of thin air.

He pointed out a total of five fingers.

This is the awe-inspiring five swords.
