The river passes away to the east, and the mountains are beautiful and colorful in the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist, and the beauty of the scenery is amazing.

A light boat went down the river, the river was very calm, and under the sun, it was sparkling. Chu Huan stood on the prow of the boat, looking at the mountains on the bank, feeling the beauty blowing towards his face.

The momentum of the mountains inside the pass is obviously different from that outside the pass. The outside of the pass is majestic and majestic, steep and steep. But at this time, the mountain scenery in his eyes is extremely beautiful. Beside Chu Huan is Ximen Yi in a brocade suit.

Ximen Yi usually looks very sloppy, but with new clothes and a hat on his head, he really has a bit of a refined literati air. Standing beside Chu Huan at this time, he pointed to the distance and said: "That side is the world-famous Xiannv Peak is beautiful and graceful, if you walk along the Qionghe River, if you don’t see Xiannv Peak, it’s a waste of time.”

Chu Huan knew that Ximen Yi had traveled all over the world and knew all the places of interest in the world like the palm of his hand. Hearing this, he nodded slightly and said with a smile, "As Mr. said, it is indeed beautiful." He glanced at Ma Zheng next to him, and said with a smile : "Ma Zheng, you have to take a good look, there are not many opportunities like this."

Ma Zheng looked up, shook his head and said, "Boss Li, I think it's so commonplace, I don't see any clues."

Chu Huan laughed, but at this moment, he was thinking in his heart that although the Qionghe River was called a river, it was wide and not narrower than many rivers.

The Qionghe Wharf was controlled by the Jinling Army. If the wharf was heavily defended, it would be difficult to land. Moreover, the Jinling Army had a navy. If the Jinling Navy could not be defeated, it would be foolish to want to capture the Jinling Warehouse.

The boat was sailing on the river, but at the moment it was walking between the Wu Gorge.

Chu Huan did not delay in Tongzhou because of King Qi's attack. For him, King Qi was no threat at all. After ordering King Qi to be placed under house arrest, he handed over Tongzhou to Pei Ji to take care of him. Proceed to Jinling Fucheng Weiling Mansion.

On this trip, Ximen Yi represented the Northwest Army to go to Weiling Mansion to form an alliance with Xu Chang. Chu Huan and his party were disguised and followed by him as followers. Apart from Chu Huan, Ma Zheng also accompanied him. Besides, There are also five carefully selected warriors.

Bai Xiazi has been in Shuoquan all the time, and was arranged by Chu Huan to protect his family. Qiu Ruxue is contacting the heroes of the rivers and lakes everywhere, secretly forming a shadow army for Chu Huan, and is responsible for collecting intelligence for the Northwest Army.

Originally, when they were away from home, these subordinates from the Jianghu were the most suitable, but now that they were not available, Ma Zheng was barely competent and accompanied him.

Chu Huan has a great reputation. Now that he leaves Tongzhou, he naturally can't easily reveal his identity. He just follows Ximen Yi as the captain of the guard, and his pseudonym Li Yin makes everyone call him "Boss Li" on weekdays.

The light boat went east all the way, and it was not a day. On the third day, when it approached the Qionghe wharf, everyone became more careful. Along the way, they saw very few boats. Chu Huan knew that this was because the Qionghe River was blocked. , It is difficult for boats and boats to pass.

Jinling is located in the central part of the Great Qin Empire. The mountains are beautiful and the streams flow among them. The mountains and waters are beautiful, forming a unique style of Jinling.

The climate in Jinling is the most suitable for living, and Weiling Mansion has always been the most prosperous city in Jinling Road, so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries will purchase property and wealth in Jinling. Officials who are going to serve, most of them have two places to stay, or stay in the capital To spend his old age peacefully, he could either move to Jinling and live in Weiling Mansion with beautiful mountains and rivers to support his old age.

"If you go ashore from the Qionghe Wharf and pass through the Jinling warehouse, you can go directly to Weiling Mansion. It will only take three days at most." Ximen Yi said: "Weiling Mansion is on the bank of the Huijiang River, but this time they will definitely not Let us go ashore, if there are no accidents, we will have to go down the Qiong River, and it will take another three days before we can turn around and turn into the Hui River, which will take three or four days, and the land route is half faster than the water route."

"Jinling Warehouse is tightly guarded, and even ordinary people cannot enter, let alone us." Chu Huan nodded slightly: "But you should be able to see the Jinling Navy when you pass the Qionghe Wharf, so I would like to see what this navy is like A sight."

Chu Huan was not wrong. After walking for half a day, under the sun, he could vaguely see a black shadow appearing in front of him. When he moved closer, he saw masts like forests, towering like countless spears, and countless ships covered them. On the river in front of him, a forceful aura rushed towards his face.

"Boss, a boat is coming!" Ma Zheng said in a deep voice.

At this time, Chu Huan also saw that a fast boat was going up against the current to meet it. The boat was not very big, but Chu Huan could clearly see that on the bow of the boat, there was a A giant crossbow.

Ximen Yi raised his hand and ordered the sailors on board to stop the boat. After the light boat stopped, the opposite ship had quickly approached. The boat was much smaller, but compared to the canoe I was on, it was much larger, so I could only look up.

Chu Huan made a show, Ma Zheng and the others had already put their hands on the sabers, and stepped forward to protect Ximen Yi in the middle, but they also let the other party understand that the leader of this light boat is Ximen Yi.

"Where is the ship from?" Before approaching, someone on the big ship shouted in a deep voice: "Don't move, drop your weapons...!" While speaking, Chu Huan had already seen several soldiers appearing on the bow of the ship , one of them held a big knife in his hand, put his hand on the side of the bow of the ship, and shouted condescendingly.

Chu Huan had already cupped his hands and said loudly: "Brothers, don't misunderstand, we are envoys sent by the King of Chu, and we are going to Weiling Mansion to meet King Ren!"

"Oh?" The man frowned and said, "Are you the Northwest Army?"

Chu Huan was thinking in his heart that when the other party heard "King of Chu", he knew that this was a member of the Northwest Army. It seemed that the fact that he became king spread very quickly, and even a Jinling sailor knew about it.

"That's right." Chu Huan said loudly: "We are sent by the King of Chu, and we want to discuss important matters with King Ren, so please make room for us, brothers."

At this time, the big boat was already approaching, and someone had already thrown an anchor from the side of the boat, and three or four anchors caught the light boat, and the person said: "Don't move, put down your weapons first, don't talk too much."

Ma Zheng and the others were still hesitating, but they saw five or six archers appearing on the side of the ship, bowing their bows and setting arrows, aiming at the light boat. Seeing this, Ximen Yi raised his hand and signaled everyone to put down their weapons. When Chu Huan put the saber on the deck first, he dropped the weapon. The Jinling soldiers at the bow were very satisfied, and let down a rope ladder. The man led five or six Jinling soldiers to the boat, and said in a deep voice: "All Everyone come to the bow!"

Several sailors on the light boat also arrived at the bow, Chu Huan had already cupped his hands and said with a smile: "What is the name of this brother? This is our Sir Ximen, and my humble Li Yin is the captain of the guard."

Seeing Chu Huan's friendly face, the man said, "My name is Zhang Jian, and I'm from a hundred households in the navy...!" He walked over, opened the tent in the cabin, looked inside, and saw a few mouthfuls inside. The box turned around and asked, "What's in the box?"

Chu Huan said: "Except for the supplies and food needed on the way, everything else is a gift from King Chu ordered us to King Ren."

"Oh?" Zhang Jian sneered, "Come here, open the box."

"Wait a minute." Ximen Yi said in a deep voice, "Zhang Baihu, it's easy for you to open the box, but it's full of small gifts for King Ren. Even we dare not open it easily. If King Ren sees you, he will know that you have opened it beforehand." Box, I wonder if King Ni will blame him at that time?"

Zhang Jian was startled and hesitated.

Chu Huan beckoned and said softly, "Zhang Baihu, can I take a step to speak?"

Zhang Jian frowned first, then walked to the corridor on the side of the ship, Chu Huan walked over and said softly: "Zhang Baihu, the box is indeed a gift for King Ren, and I can tell you that this time the King of Chu sent us Going there, I want to form a brotherly alliance with King Ren. Once the matter is successful, you and I will be an army of brothers. Our Lord Ximen has a strange temper. If you really offend him, you can say something casually in front of King Ren If you don't, your brother may have to walk around without food."

Zhang Jian sneered, "Are you threatening me?"

"Of course it's not a threat, but telling the truth." Chu Huan said with a smile: "If it were me, everyone would be friendly, and Zhang Baihu would show some respect to Master Ximen. In other words, King Ren may not reward Brother Zhang."

Zhang Jianwei pondered for a while, without saying a word, returned to the bow of the boat, cupped his hands to Ximen Yi and said, "Master Ximen, your duty lies, please forgive me. General Tu has an order, without his permission, no boat can pass here. Wait here, I will report to General Tu first, if General Tu lets you go, we will let you leave."

He led his men to climb back to the big ship from the rope ladder, but the iron anchor did not retract, Zhang Jian pointed his head down and shouted: "Lord Ximen, I wrong you to wait, don't leave for now."

Not long after, Chu Huan saw a very small light boat being lowered from the big boat, and two Jinling soldiers jumped off the boat, paddling the small boat to the Qionghe wharf, while the big boat stayed where it was.

Then Chu Huan asked Ximen Yi to go back to the cabin and wait. The two played a game of chess in the cabin. After half a day, they saw the horse opening the curtain and said to the inside, "My lord, they are here!"

Ximen Yi took the lead out of the cabin, and Chu Huan followed behind, but saw Zhang Jian standing at the bow of the boat, and seeing Ximen Yi coming out, Zhang Jian's attitude was different from before, obviously a lot more respectful, and he cupped his hands and said, "Master Ximen, General Tu has Order, I order you to escort you to the Weiling Mansion to meet King Ren, but there is no land route, so I can only wrong you to go by water."

Ximen Yi said: "As far as I know, it takes a few more days to travel by water, why do you want to go far away? Are you still worried that we won't be able to spy on some secrets?"

Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "I dare not disobey the general's order. But don't worry, my lord, the general is also afraid of delaying the trip, so he dispatched a fast boat to send the person there." Turning around, pointing to the A ship coming from here: "Please look, my lord, that ship is the fastest ship in our Jinling Navy, and within five days, it will definitely take you to Weiling Mansion!"
