I am the sword fairy

Chapter 66 Hanjiang Waterway
Lin'an Prefecture.

The inner city of the palace.

Yuequan Court.

Official Zhao Cheng was naked and soaking in the steaming hot springs.

The exposed upper body is strong and muscular, the arms are full of tendons, and the underwater abdomen is full of abdominal muscles, without a trace of fat.

He has a handsome appearance. Although he is in his mid-forties, he looks very young. When he goes out, some people believe him even if he says he is in his early thirties.

Few people know that this official who escaped from the Northern Qi Dynasty is not like the kind of cripple they imagined who indulged in drinking and sex after becoming emperor. He is obese and weak and needs support to walk even two steps.

On the contrary, he is very strong.

And only those around him knew that this emperor, who had only a few heirs, was a very restrained person when it came to women.

It is not that easy for all the concubines in the harem, even the favored ones, to see him.

now.

Through the mist, he looked at the elegant-looking, beardless middle-aged man opposite him, and chuckled: "Chao En, I heard a very interesting rumor recently. Do you want to listen to it?"

"The officials all think it's funny, so I naturally have to listen to it and gain knowledge!" Li Chaoen responded with a smile.

It is difficult for the outside world to imagine that the dignified founding emperor of Southern Zhao would take a bath in the same pool with his chamberlain minister. He would neither call himself an orphan nor a widower, but would be as comfortable and relaxed as ordinary people chatting.

"It seems to have something to do with you." Guan Jia said with a smile.

"Oh?" Li Chaoen looked curious.

"Han Jiang has been in trouble one after another recently. You told me that a young man saved that girl Xiao Qing."

Li Chaoen nodded: "That's true. I remember telling the officials that the young man who rescued Xiao Qing, his grandfather was the Tiger Army who saved the old slave. Do you think it's a coincidence? Come to think of it, The old slave has been looking for those tiger soldiers for many years, but he ended up making trouble under the light, right under his nose."

"This is fate!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile: "He is the one I want to talk about. Since you mentioned this matter to me, I asked people to pay attention to it. As a result, just a few days ago, he said something again. These touching words. Such a talent should not stay in a place like Hanjiang. You should quickly find a way to let him come to the capital!"

"Oh?" Li Chaoen's eyes widened and he looked at the official across the street through the fog with some surprise, "What did he say that even you, the official, were alerted?"

Zhao Cheng said: "When he said something about how to repay kindness with kindness, I thought he was an extraordinary talent, and I was thinking about recruiting him to the capital to meet him. As a result, not long after, Hanjiang had accidents one after another, including my second brother. Almost died..."

Li Chaoen said angrily: "Those scumbags from the Tang Clan in the north of Saibei deserve death. They belong to the Yi clan!"

Zhao Cheng sighed, and his tone became a little heavier: "Fortunately, my ancestors have blessed me, and my second brother is safe. Otherwise, I would not be able to face my ancestors in the future."

There were many brothers in the official family at that time, but there was only one sibling from the same mother, Zhao Dan, so he was always called the second brother in private.

"The official's words are serious. King Qi and his people have their own destiny..." Li Chaoen said, changing the topic, "You should tell me quickly, what earth-shattering words did my benefactor say after that?"

"It's not earth-shattering, but his intentions are world-shaking!" Zhao Cheng said: "The martial arts school he runs has made a lot of noise there recently, arousing the covetousness of several aristocratic families..."

"Ha..." Li Chaoen snorted disdainfully, "They are just a bunch of mosquitoes, trying to suck anyone's blood all day long..."

Zhao Cheng said: "They tried to take advantage of that young man twice. You told me the first time, but I didn't expect that he gave me a big surprise this time!"

"Oh, official, please stop showing off!" Li Chaoen said, "You clearly know that I care about him!"

"Hahaha!" Zhao Cheng laughed heartily and said: "Facing those children from aristocratic families, ordinary people may have been unable to withstand it for a long time, but he was calm and leisurely, from shallow to deep, from soft to strong. , in the end, he was a wake-up call and gave those people a hard lesson! He said some praiseworthy words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, Chao En, please stop acting like this with me, and don’t tell me that you don’t know this. "

Li Chaoen laughed and said: "What do I think, is this what you are talking about? The old slave has indeed just received the news, but the old slave thinks, isn't this what I, Zhao Guo'erlang, should look like? There seems to be nothing worth showing off! I don’t want to impress the officials.”

"You, you!" Zhao Cheng pointed at Li Chaoen and shrank his body into the water. Only his neck was exposed in the water. He groaned comfortably, and then said: "Every martial arts master knows that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I want to do my best for our great Zhao, but how many bastards in this world are eating royal food and receiving salaries from the court, but are full of selfish thoughts?"

"The officials should calm down," Li Chaoen said quickly.

"I'm not angry, I'm just expressing my feelings. You said that even a young man understands the truth. Do the sons of the aristocratic families and the courtiers who represent the interests of the aristocratic families really don't understand? I think they are all pretending to be confused. "They only care about their own families," Zhao Cheng sighed, "So again, call this young man over to me as soon as possible..."

Li Chaoen said cautiously: "It's okay for the officials to ask him to come, but this old slave regards him as a key talent to be trained by the Demon Supervision Department..."

"You bitch, are you afraid that I won't be able to steal someone from you?" Zhao Cheng glanced at Li Chaoen, curled his lips and said: "He has no fame, even if you want to give him an official position directly, there will be no suitable position, and it will be easy. It has aroused criticism. Besides, he has a charlatan attitude, so he is more suitable for the Demon Supervisor Department. As for the future matters... we will talk about it later!"

Li Chaoen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It is his blessing to be appreciated by the officials, but the officials should not blame the old slave for being petty. His grandfather saved his life, and the old slave really likes him. This young man, as you know, is an old slave with no roots..."

"Don't come here! There are so many adopted sons and daughters, why do you think there are so few?" Zhao Cheng said.

"Guan family, this is different!" Li Chaoen said.

"Okay, you always have a point. Anyway, let him come here as soon as possible. Hanjiang is not a good place." The emperor muttered.

Li Chaoen did not dare to answer these words and shrank his body into the water.

"This hot spring is so comfortable to soak in..." he said.

……

……

A large ship sailed down the Han River, heading east.

In fact, if there is no emergency, the most comfortable way to go from Hanjiang to Lin'an is to go straight to Jiankang Prefecture by water, and then slowly walk on the land official road, which is more than 500 miles and is countless times flatter than here.

Although the journey is several times longer than a simple land route, there is no need to cross mountains and go through bumps!
After all, these days there are no airplanes or high-speed trains. It can easily take more than a month to travel between two places. No matter how good a carriage is, you will get tired after sitting for a long time.

You can also think quickly, such as when a court messenger or when there is a major event... Like before when the King of Qi was seriously injured, the imperial doctor sent by the palace used the method of constantly replacing good horses through the inn, and rushed on the road covered by stars and moon.

But on this kind of long-distance running, no matter how good the saddle is, the buttocks will be easily worn out.

For someone like Song Yu who has never ridden a horse, it is even more of a huge test.

He decided not to wrong himself and walked by water!

There is no rush after all.

This ship comes from Qi Wangfu.

It is usually used for various trades and is a merchant ship.

This kind of nature cannot be said to be luxurious or enjoyable, but because of its huge hull, it is more stable and floats on the water as if walking on flat ground.It is now the beginning of March, it is the beginning of spring along both sides of the river, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Song Yu stood at the bow of the ship, with Tian Xu and Gao Jun standing next to him.

The former took the initiative and insisted on hugging the owner's thigh to the end; the latter only agreed to go after Song Yu persuaded him.

This time when he went to Beijing, apart from his sister and the twelve maids at home, he only brought Gao Jun, Tian Xu and Huang Teng with him!

Needless to say, everyone in the family must be taken away.

Huang Teng also promised to follow him from the beginning.

Although Mrs. Huang is a little reluctant to let go, she also understands that when her children are older, they need to put their future first.

And she also discussed with Huang Ping that after the two children established themselves in the capital, they would also move away from Hanjiang and settle in the capital.

After this kid got on the ship, he still locked himself in his room. Apart from eating every day, he practiced cultivation. He was so diligent that it was scary.

The main reason why he brought Gao Jun out was that Song Yu thought that if a branch opened in the capital, he could be the owner.

Even if you don't drive it, if you take him with you, if you encounter some small problems, this senior brother can help you solve them very well.

You can't do everything yourself, right?
Although Gao Jun also likes martial arts, unlike Huang Teng, he still pursues fame and fortune.

So Song Yu simply analyzed it for him, and he readily agreed and agreed.

Before Song Yu left, he transferred the position of the leader of Yunhai Pavilion to the reluctant Zhang Fan.

Promise him again and again that I will not be the owner of this hotel, and I will always be a Yunhai person.

After all, he is the largest shareholder of Yunhai!

There are [-]% of Yunhai's income and half of Yuntian's income.

Speaking of which, he is the person with the most income and influence in the entire Yunhai.

Even if he doesn't open a martial arts gym in the capital, Hanjiang's martial arts gym's income is enough so that he won't be short of money anymore.

And in order to make up for the impact that he and Huang Teng's departure might have on Yunhai, Song Yu specifically asked Huang Ping to come out and give guidance to Yunhai's outstanding apprentices every once in a while.

Huang Ping also readily agreed. With the simplified version of the Sutra, his spiritual path was no longer shackles and he could make time to guide young people.

Regarding the question of whether to open a martial arts gym in the capital, Song Yu still plans to start it if given the opportunity.

If Li Chaoen's support is as strong as he thinks, he even wants to make Yunhai a national chain!

Not to mention anything else, just the resources accumulated in this process... will definitely be jaw-dropping.

As long as he successfully reaches an agreement between a dragon crossing the river and a local snake, his influence in the world will definitely be first-class because he is backed by a huge "industry" and has an official status!
At that time, it is estimated that only the leader of the Cao Clan, who claims to have a gang of millions, can be compared with him.

And these will become an important force for him to find various cultivation resources!
Just one person working alone will never be able to achieve elegance.

At the farewell banquet before leaving, he also entrusted the Song residence to the crown prince...in fact, he originally planned to return it directly.

After all, we say goodbye today, and I don’t know when I can come back again.

Zhao Huan asked Song Yu unhappily if he would no longer recognize him as his brother from now on.

Song Yu could only give up, but it was really hard to say whether he would come back in the future.

Not to mention that his soul does not belong to Han Jiang. Even Song Yu, a young man in this world, does not have much affection for Han Jiang.

However, it is always difficult to say this kind of thing, so Zhao Huan sent a few people to watch it, which can be regarded as a kind of bond between them.

"Sir, is the capital city big?"

Tian Xu, a smart young man who is good at flattering people, has always had a strong yearning for the legendary prosperous capital city, but at the moment when he really set out on the road, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Of course it's big..." Song Yu said softly: "After all, it's the capital of a country. Hanjiang is not comparable to Hanjiang in all aspects, and you can also eat all kinds of pollution-free seafood there. …”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow a little. He used to think it was ordinary, but now that he thinks about it, he hasn't had it for a long time.

"Seafood?" Even Gao Jun couldn't help but be slightly startled by this relatively unfamiliar word to Hanjiang people, and then his eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of yearning.

"Yes, there is a lot of delicious food and fun. That is the most exciting place. When you go there... don't get lost." Song Yu seemed to be reminding Tian Xu and senior brother, but in fact, he was also telling himself. of.

The green mountains and clear waters on both sides of the strait, as well as the chirping of apes and birds, make people feel relaxed and happy.

The big boat rushed down the river, and the speed was not slow at all.

Soon they reached a long and gentle stretch of water. Song Yu, who was about to go back to his room to practice, suddenly saw a large number of boats appearing on the river in front of him.

A huge "V" shape is formed on the water, which seems to be able to double-team this big ship at any time!

All the boats were full of people, some with weapons in their hands, some with bare hands.

Song Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned.

This is...a water thief?
　The world is out of my generation, and the years are reminded as soon as I enter the world.

　　The second volume of Jianghu Gang officially debuts.

　　Make sure, this is Xian Xia, but let’s write Xia first, and then Xian.

　　In fact, if you look at the various fairy tales in ancient times, most of them happened in the human world.

　　Then let’s start writing from this mortal world and try to write something different.

　　Finally, I would like to ask for your opinions. Do you want to write a summary of the first volume of The Wind Rises in the Cold River?

　　in conclusion?
　　I haven't written anything before, so I had a little impulse, but I don't know if everyone wants to read it. I will do a small survey and tell me if you want to read it, including those brothers who have never left a message after reading the book, please come up and talk about it.
