Lords of the Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, I throw myself into the mouth of the python

Chapter 74
Walking in Shaoyang City, what Li Yu heard the most were all kinds of teasing words about the new governor of Shaozhou, Li Snipe.

Li Yu went to the public office of the state capital, and saw that the officials and servants were too busy to do anything.

Shaking his head, he left the city.

After looking for someone to ask for directions, Li Yu rode [Bamboo Rib Ox] to Dongting Lake.

During the heyday of Tang Dynasty, Dongting Lake was known as a square of eight hundred miles, "a vast ocean, flooded to the sky".

It was noon in midsummer, and Li Yu didn't watch the eight sceneries of Xiaoxiang, such as the wild geese falling on the flat sand, the snow at dusk in the river sky, the clear mist in the mountain city, and the sunset in the fishing village.

He walked to a place with few people on the shore of the lake, and with a wave of his hand, he called out [Snake Princess] and 98 [long-haired people].

"Explore the bottom of the lake, looking for people in the sand. Remember to hide your body, don't surprise people."

After Li Yu finished speaking, all the hairs took orders and jumped into the water one after another.

[Long-haired people] all have the characteristics of [water dwelling], and entering the lake is like returning to a home.Just counting breaths, it sank into the water and disappeared without a trace.

[Snake Princess] also cheered and jumped into the water when she saw the big lake.Her snake tail swayed two or three times in the water, and suddenly turned into a small red fish about a foot long.

With a flick of the fish's tail, it disappeared.

This morphing fish [Snake Princess] is not Jiang Yaya, but a ginger red fish newly summoned with [Red Ridge Stone].

After everything was arranged properly, Li Yu watched the scenery along the lakeshore for a while, took out some broken silver from the [pot], and waved for an old boatman.

The old boatman asked the gentleman where he was going.

Li Yu threw the broken silver onto the boat and said that it would be enough to take him on a boat trip to Dongting.

The old boatman picked up the silver coin, shook it in his hand, put it in his mouth and bit it, and finally he was relieved.After welcoming Li Yu to board the boat with a smile, he set up the scull.

In the shimmering light, the old boatman started talking and asked where the gentleman came from.

Li Yu said that he came from Hebei Province and had heard of the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, so he came here for a tour.

The old boatman smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, can you gain anything?"

Li Yu said: "After entering the Jiangnan West Road, the water is soft, the mountains are warm, and the scenery is infinite. It is really rewarding. There is only one point, and the fly in the ointment."

The old boatman asked what was missing.

Li Yudao, his surname is Li Mingyu, a fisherman who studied in Yuqiao farming.And the Shaozhou parent official, named "Li Snipe", the "snipe" in which the snipe and the clam compete, has the same pronunciation as "Yu", but the tune is different.

The old boatman said with a smile, that was really a coincidence.

Li Yu smiled wryly, no, it's no good to hear people say "I".

The old boatman laughed and didn't answer.

Li Yu asked Governor Li if he had been to Dongting Lake before. The old boatman pointed to the center of the lake and said, "Li Governor went to Dongting by boat. When he arrived in Dongting, he saw Junshan as beautiful as a 'Penglai in the water'. He was so excited that he climbed the mountain to see the scenery."

Li Yu asked the old boatman to prop up the boat and go to Junshan.

After leaving the boat, the old boatman asked when he would return, and Li Yu said, "I will return only after I have enjoyed myself", and waved him to go.

On Junshan Island, there are tangled peaks, verdant bamboos and trees, elegant scenery, and the viewers are like clouds.

Li Yu walked around the shore of the island, but found nothing.When the sky was getting dark and the tourists and boats were gone, he sat on the reef and patted the water one after another.

After a quarter of an hour, a little red fish flew over from the water.

When Li Yu raised his hand, the fish fell into his palm.

Li Yu asked if there was any harvest, and the red fish shook its tail.

"Call [the long-haired people], with Junshan as the center, dig the sand and dig the soil, looking for the people in the sand."

After Li Yu finished speaking, the little red fish flipped out of its palm and fell into the water.

For the next five days, nothing came of it.

Dongting Lake has many stories of ghosts and ghosts.

Youtong accidentally drowned, and the "long-haired monster" got out of the water.

Someone dived to the bottom of the lake and saw several houses, water ghosts haunting, and Jiaonu disappeared in a flash.

……

Until the sixth day, Li Yu, who was immersed in his studies in [Xianlu], had raised his [Intelligence] to 53, and [Snake Fairy] Red Fish finally brought good news.

Or something—a breathing lump of mud.

Three [long-haired men] came swimming from somewhere under the Junshan River, holding a ball of mud.Go to an uninhabited area by the Dongting Lake, and work together to roll the mud ball.

The mud balls landed on the shore.

The red fish turned back into [Snake Princess], and swiped the [Stone Sword], the mud ball split open, revealing a mass of aquatic plants.

A human figure can be vaguely seen among the aquatic plants.

[Snake Princess] Red Fish cut out a few more swords, and then the snake tail swept away the aquatic plants, revealing a middle-aged man with a pale complexion and closed eyes.

Li Yu waved [Long-haired Man] and [Snake Fairy] into the square pot.

I tied a Taoist hair bun for myself, took out an old Taoist robe from the [pot], and finally borrowed [Queen Mao]'s pine wood sword.

After doing so, he picked up the pine sword and stabbed at the middle-aged man's Renzhong acupoint.

The man was in pain, and he yelled "Ah" and sat up.

At first, the man's eyesight was lax.After dozens of breaths, it gradually became radiant.

"Who are you? Why are you trapped in the mud?" Li Yu asked.

"I... I am Li Snipe, yes, I am Li Snipe, Li Snipe, governor of Shaozhou." The man's sanity gradually recovered, and he seemed to finally remember the past.

Li Yu, who was facing him, frowned: "Hugh talking nonsense, Inspector Li has been in the Shaoyang Mansion for half a year. I heard that he was promoted to a council member at Sishi today, but you, a mere fool, can't pretend to be your name."

Hearing this, the man froze on the spot.After a while, his face was full of fear and grief, and he asked Li Yu: "Dare to ask, what time and month is it now?"

"September of the Bingchen Year of Kaiyuan." Li Yu replied.

"September?" The man lost his voice, "Half a year has passed!"

Li Yu asked him again: "Who are you?"

The man came back to his senses: "Under Li Snipe..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yu got up and left.

The man saw that Li Yu was wearing a feather coat, holding a pine sword in his hand, his appearance was down, and his appearance was dignified. Since he was able to save himself at the bottom of Dongting Lake, he must be a righteous person, how could he let him go.

He threw himself in front of Li Yu and begged on his knees, "The real man save me! The real man save me!"

"Get up and talk." Li Yu helped him up, "Pindao has rescued you from the bottom of the lake, how can you still say the word 'rescue'?"

The man bowed deeply, first thanked Li Yu for saving his life, and then told an old story——

The man's name is indeed Li Snipe, from Dunhuang.Half a year ago, he went to Shaozhou to take up his post under the imperial edict.

When I arrived at Dongting Lake by boat, I saw the scenery of the lake and mountains, which was as beautiful as a painting, so I started to play and set foot on Junshan.

However, as soon as he entered Junshan, his nosebleed was like a bloody arrow, and he fell down in the sand.

Dizzy, he only felt his body drop.And the other self stood up in the sand.

The appearance, clothing, and voice are actually the same as her own.

In the dimness, Li Snipe seemed to hear his wife and daughter coming, and heard the servant helping "myself" to leave.

And Li Snipe himself sank lower and lower.

He gradually lost consciousness until the water plants were wrapped around him and the mud and sand sealed him up.
