Water Margin people

The merchant ships were moving slowly on the Wuzhang River. With Qin Hui's officials clearing the way, there was no way to stop the fleet.

"Brother, we are almost arriving in Tokyo!"

Xiao Jiasui glanced outside the cabin. Although it was night, he could still tell the direction.

"Well, let the team in front stop!"

Sun Lei nodded.

With a loud noise, a large ship in front of the fleet suddenly landed in the middle of the Wuzhang River.

"Stop!"

Then there were waves of shouts from sailors, and the fleet slowly stopped.

"what happened?"

The officer leading the team heard the boat stop and walked out of the cabin angrily.

"Sir, there is a boat ahead that hit the underwater debris and ran aground!"

The sailors looked at the official and said.

"What? Hit the debris and ran aground? Where did the debris in this five-foot-long river come from?"

The officials were upset. The Wuzhang River has been the main water transport channel in the past few months. The government has cleaned it many times. It was in good condition some time ago. Why is it bumping into debris?

"Get the ship out of the way quickly. These goods need to be transported to Tokyo before the Lantern Festival!"

The official yelled at the sailors that he had accepted the emperor's order, which would be a serious crime if others were late.

"Sir, we need to find some trackers to pull it apart!"

The sailors looked at the officials and said.

"Go there to find a tracker this late at night. You can get off the boat and pull it!"

the officials shouted, pointing at the sailors.

But the sailors gave him no face at all. The sailors were all from Qi, and the money they received was only enough to transport the goods to Tokyo.

"Add money!"

Seeing that the sailors were unwilling to move with their hands folded, the officials knew that these people wanted money, so they immediately said that this trade was extremely profitable, so it would not be a big deal to pay them a little more freight.

"Come on, your words are enough, brothers, go pull the boat!"

When the sailors heard that the money was being added, they immediately greeted each other, and the sailors from each ship shouted to get off the ship.

"They are all mercenary!"

The official snorted disdainfully when he saw that all the sailors on the ship were jumping off the ship.

Sun Lei mingled with the sailors and got off the boat, but he was not there to pull the boat. He disappeared into the night.

"Brother, is it dangerous to enter the city?"

Wen Huanzhang looked at Sun Lei and said with some worry, Sun Lei actually wanted to enter the city first, which was very risky.

"Don't worry, I won't take the main entrance!"

Sun Lei said with a smile that his portrait has been posted all over Tokyo. No matter how much makeup is applied, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be perfect, but it is different with the Watergate.

"Don't worry, Commander Wen, we will definitely protect your brother!"

Zhang Shun said.

"This time it depends on our navy!"

Ruan Xiaoqi also said.

When Wen Huanzhang saw that Sun Lei had already made up his mind, he stopped trying to persuade him and just bowed his hand to Sun Lei.

Sun Lei took Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun, Xu Ning and others along the path to Tokyo.

We detoured all the way to Xuanze Water Gate near Qionglin Garden in the west of Tokyo, and it was almost dawn.

“I knew it would come in the summer!”

Sun Lei looked at the turbulent water and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. He was also good at water, but it was the twelfth month of winter and the water at this time was very cold.

"Brother, how about we get a boat into the city?" Zhang Shun looked at Sun Lei and said, if Sun Lei gets cold, the gain will not be worth the loss.

"Forget it, stick to the plan and go in early!"

Sun Lei shook his head. When ships enter the city, they must be inspected.

The soldiers had already found a large number of dead branches. Following Sun Lei's order, these dead branches were thrown into the river and pushed towards Xuanze Water Gate by the current.

There are many water gates in Tokyo, and the defense is not bad. Although Li Gang is not as strict as the city gate, he has also strengthened a lot of defense.

The water gates in Tokyo are all specially designed. The lower level of the water channel is blocked by horizontal stones, making it difficult to hear from underwater, while the upper level of the water channel is arranged with wooden fences.

All water gates in Tokyo are except Xuanze Water Gate, because outside Xuanze Water Gate is Qionglin Garden, one of the four royal gardens in Tokyo.

The new Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty held a grand banquet in Huiqujiang to show their praise and honor, which was called the "Qujiang Banquet".

Taizu of the Song Dynasty also built a Qionglin Garden outside the city, where new Jinshi and later scholars would hold banquets, which were called "Qionglin Banquets".

Qionglin Garden is a lake connecting Tokyo, and the water of the Bianhe River is diverted from Jinming Pool in the north. Therefore, the Xuanze Water Gate is not a real water gate, it is just a gate for the royal family to visit the garden, so it is not open on weekdays, and the guard is relatively lax. .

Sun Lei was holding a reed pole. Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun were protecting Sun Lei on the left and right, but they didn't hold anything in their hands. They just wanted to see each other with their fish-tip knives.

"Ugh!"

Sun Lei glanced at it and sighed helplessly. Comparing people to each other is very annoying. Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun are really incomparable to others. He has to rely on reed poles to breathe, but these two people can just hold their breath and pass by.

Everyone went into the water, and while it was still dark, they dived near the Xuanze Water Gate. They couldn't break the wooden frame of the water gate, but they could dig a pit from the underground mud and cross it.

"There is indeed a fence, but this density can't stop people!"

Sun Lei looked at the fence in front of him. Li Gang must have asked for the fence to be arranged tightly, but the people underneath might not follow the rules.

Zhang Shun in front suddenly turned around and waved to Sun Lei, signaling that he should not be in a hurry.

Although Sun Lei was confused, he stopped.

Zhang Shun pointed to the top of the wooden fence. Through the water, he could see bells on the fence. The slightest movement would trigger the bells.

Everyone carefully walked around the fence, and then they officially entered Tokyo.

"elder brother!"

Shi Qian's voice sounded on the water.

Sun Lei and others immediately took the lead.

"elder brother!"

When Shi Qian and others saw Sun Lei, they immediately reached out to pull him. Zhang San brought a cotton robe and put it on Sun Lei. Sun Lei couldn't get sick in this winter.

"Come on!"

Sun Lei shuddered and said to the crowd that they were all wet, which was too conspicuous, so they had to leave quickly while there was still no one on the street.

Shi Qian led the way and led Sun Lei and others to leave. Li Si asked the minions to sweep the street. The dust was so high that it directly covered the water stains on the ground.

When pedestrians gradually started to appear on the street, everyone just felt that the streets were extra clean today, but no one thought much about it. The Lantern Festival was coming soon, the royal family was going to worship their ancestors, and there was a lantern festival in the city, so it was time to clean the streets.

In Liangshan's secret stronghold in Tokyo, several braziers were lit, and Sun Lei and others sat by the braziers to keep warm and keep out the cold.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Jiasui led everyone to salute Sun Li.

"Commander Xiao, there is no need to be polite. These are extraordinary times. Keep everything simple!"

Sun Lei waved his hand. His teeth were still trembling, and he just wanted to warm himself up by the fire.

Xiao Jiasui was not a pedantic person. He smiled and sat down with his hands in his hands, and talked about the situation in Tokyo.

"These people are still thinking about fighting in the nest, they are really talented!"

After hearing this, Sun Lei smiled and said, Xiao Jiasui's detailed introduction was far more detailed than the letter.

"Now Tokyo has been divided into several forces, including Emperor Zhao Huan, Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji, Taizu's lineage of vassal kings, the Waiting Faction! and the noble clans!"

Xiao Jiasui nodded.
