"I didn't expect to leave Bianliang City so easily." Lin Chong couldn't believe it.

"It's called what is false is true, and what is true is false. The more upright and arrogant we are, the less the government will believe that there are criminals among us." Wu Dong laughed.

"Are we going back to Qinghe County?" Lin Chong asked.

"Wait a minute, we are going south this time." Wu Dong said.

"Going south? Why?" Lin Chong asked in surprise.

"Going north, there must be pursuers. Go south first, and then we will return to Qinghe County by sea." Wu Dong said.

Gao Taiwei must have guessed that Lin Chong was the one who robbed Mrs. Lin, and the place where Lin Chong disappeared was in Hebei and Shandong, so Gao Taiwei will definitely send pursuers in that direction, it must be dangerous, so everyone can't go there. go in that direction.

"Brother, you are so bold and careful, Lin Chong admires you." Lin Chong admired.

"It's just some cleverness, it's not worth mentioning. Let's hurry up and get out of this place." Wu Dong said.

At present, Wu Dong, Lin Chong and others first headed south to the area of ​​Xuzhou and Piaocheng, and then headed north by sea boat.

In the Song Dynasty, maritime trade was very developed, and there were frequent exchanges with North Korea, Japan, Southeast Asian countries, and South Asian countries. Even European countries had certain contacts.

At this time, the shipbuilding technology was excellent, the big ship sailed very smoothly on the sea, and everyone's mood gradually improved.

Wu Dong and Lin Chong were standing in the penetration right now, looking at the scenery of the sea, and saw a huge whale appearing in the distance, which startled Lin Chong, and said: "What kind of monster is this, it's so big?"

Wu Dong laughed and said: "This is called a whale... Zhuangzi once said in Xiaoyaoyou that there is a fish in the north, and its name is kun. I guess this kun is talking about a whale."

This era is different from later generations. There are a large number of whales in the East China Sea and South China Sea, and the fishery in the ocean is very rich, which is much stronger than that of later generations.

"These Chinese characters who travel by sea can be called heroes. Brother, I can't bear the wind and rain every day." Looking at the sailors walking around in the distance, Lin Chong said with a smile.

When Wu Dong heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he froze there.

"What's wrong, brother?" Lin Chong asked hastily.

"Suddenly remembered something...Brother, do you think we can build sea-going ships and do business at sea in the future?" Wu Dong said.

"This...sea boat is easy to build, but brother, do you have good sailors?" Lin Chong asked.

"Not yet, but we can find a way." Wu Dong said.

Just now, Wu Dong suddenly remembered the three brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and others in Water Margin. In Liangshanshuibo, although they have made great contributions to Liangshanshuibo, Wu Dong feels that their talents are still wasted.

Characters like them should be galloping on the sea, how can they be trapped on a small island?

Wu Dong pondered secretly in his heart, and gradually came up with a big plan.

Of course, it will take countless time, energy, and money to implement these plans. For the time being, I can only think about it and keep these in my heart.

Seeing Wu Dong thinking about something, Lin Chong didn't bother him, and just watched the scenery from the side.

Lin Chong has already figured out that this brother of his is very ambitious. He is now a criminal of the imperial court, and his life was saved by Wu Dong, and his wife's life was also saved by Wu Dong. Follow Wu Dong, he will do whatever Wu Dong asks him to do.

******

More than ten days later, the ship landed in Dengzhou, and Wu Dong, Lin Chong and others got down to earth again.

Dengzhou is the current Penglai area, but in the Song Dynasty, it was a big city, a transit point for trade with Korea, Japan and other countries, and the city was also very prosperous.

Gold and silver jewellery, ginseng, copper and iron from Korea and Japan were transported here by sea ships, and ceramics, silk, horses, writing brushes, tea wine, books, etc. from the Song Dynasty were also transported here to Korea, Japan and other countries.

"This place is really good." Wu Dong praised.

This is the first city that Wu Dong saw that was built for trade. The whole city is full of business, and there is no other flow of people.

You can see a lot of Korean and Japanese people here, and now the Song Dynasty is still considered a kingdom of heaven. The foreigners here are far from being as arrogant and domineering as later generations, but the Han people are respectful and respectful, and they do business very well.

Seeing Korean ginseng for sale, Wu Dong couldn't help but bought a few. The price was extremely cheap. A large ginseng cost less than a tael of silver, but in the mainland, this ginseng cost at least a few dozen taels of silver. , this is still priceless.

"This place is good, but it's a pity that if the Liao people invade, this place will be abandoned." Lin Chong said.

In this era, the whole of Shandong is on the "front line", and they will encounter harassment from the Liao people from time to time, and Dengzhou is no exception.Decades ago, Dengzhou was harassed once, and countless people were killed or injured.Since then, Dengzhou has declined for a while, and it has only become prosperous again in the past few years.But Lin Chong is still not optimistic about the future of Dengzhou.

"This place... I won't let the Liao people harass me again." Wu Dong thought to himself.

This place is actually extremely important. Ocean trade is a cornucopia. Unfortunately, the imperial court did not pay enough attention to this place. There are only 300 troops stationed here, and the training is extremely loose. I am afraid that they will run away when they hear the news of the Liao people. The role of protection.

That day, Wu Dong spent a whole day shopping here to learn about the situation of the city, and he left here the next day.

Because Mrs. Lin was there, Wu Dong hired a big car and went back at a full speed. It took another half a month to rush back to Qinghe Wujiazhuang.

When Wu Taigong saw Wu Dong go away for so many days, he was naturally nagging.And Pan Jinlian was extremely happy to see Wu Dong come back, she was tired of Wu Dong's side, and she didn't want to leave for a moment.

Wu Dong and Lin Chong study martial arts every day, and their life has gradually stabilized since then, while Pan Jinlian and Lin Niangzi have become good friends, chatting and drinking tea together every day, having a great time.

This day, Lin Chong suddenly said that he still has an apprentice. He heard that he came to Shandong to do business, but he never went back to Bianliang after that. I don't know how he is doing now.

"Could it be Cao Zheng, the swordsman?" Wu Dong's heart skipped a beat.

"So brother actually knows my apprentice's name?" Lin Chong asked in surprise.

Wu Dong nodded, and said, "I've heard of it before... He should still be in the border of Shandong. I'll send someone to find out about him."

Therefore, Wu Dong asked Lin Chong to tell the appearance of Cao Zheng, the swordsman, and then drew a picture and handed it to the shopkeepers in various places, so that the shopkeepers would pay attention to the person in the painting and inquire about Cao Zheng's whereabouts.

About two months later, a shopkeeper in Jeju suddenly reported that they had discovered Cao Zheng.

Wu Dong was overjoyed and asked, "Where is Cao now?"

The shopkeeper said: "In a small village called Huangnigang under Jeju Prefecture, Cao Zheng and his wife have opened a tavern there for many years."

After discussing with Lin Chong for a while, Wu Dong and Lin Chong took a few people towards Huangnigang, Jeju. They arrived here a few days later, and saw the tavern by the road.

******

The hotel is very clean and there are a few guests. It seems that the business is not bad.

Wu Dong and Lin Chong sat down, ordered a few catties of cooked beef, and a jug of good wine. After drinking for a while, Cao Zheng did not come out, but a woman was entertaining everyone. This should be Cao Zheng's wife.

Lin Chong couldn't help but said: "Little lady, where is your husband? Let him come out quickly, I have urgent business with him."

The woman said, "Who are you?"

Before Lin Chong could answer, at this moment, a short and strong man walked in from the outside. He was about 25 or [-] years old. After seeing Lin Chong, he stayed there for a while, and immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed.

The woman was taken aback and said, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

The short and strong man shouted: "Kneel down quickly, this is the master I often say, the head coach of the 80 forbidden troops in Bianliang, with high martial arts skills, he has a great kindness to me."

The woman hurriedly knelt down and bowed down.

This short and strong man is naturally Lin Chong's apprentice. Cao Zheng, the swordsman, is actually good at martial arts. After all, he is Lin Chong's personal disciple.However, he ranks very low in the Water Margin, only the No.80 Ji Xing.

His lower ranking is actually mostly because of Lin Chong.Lin Chong is already ranked sixth in Liangshan, but the relationship between Lin Chong and Song Jiang is very ordinary, and Song Jiang naturally does not want to rank Lin Chong's apprentice to a high position.

"Good apprentice, please get up!" Lin Chong's eyes were a little wet, and he strode over to help Cao Zheng and his wife up.

"Master, I heard that you were framed by Gao Lian and fell into trouble in Cangzhou Mansion. I was planning to go to Cangzhou to look for the master. Unexpectedly, after a few days, I heard that the forage yard of Dajun was burned and the master became a death row prisoner." , I was on the run, so I didn’t go to Cangzhou. These days, I often worry about Master, I don’t know what’s going on with Master, it’s great to see Master now.” Cao Zheng said excitedly.

"The forage yard of the army was burned, and that guy Gao Qiu framed me." Lin Chong said.

Lin Chong and Gao Qiu have blood feuds, but now after taking his wife to Wujiazhuang, the hatred for Gao Qiu has gradually let go.As I said before, his character is like this, he doesn't want to cause trouble, and since his wife is well, he doesn't plan to trouble Gao Lian anymore.

"Gao Qiu is really hateful! If there is a chance, I will kill him with one knife!" Cao Zheng said viciously.

Although they are Lin Chong's apprentices, their personalities are quite different, and Cao Zheng is obviously much tougher.

"Come on, brother, this is my apprentice Cao Zheng. He is upright and doesn't know how to adapt. From now on, brother will take care of him more." Lin Chong said to Wu Dong.

"Who is this... strong man?" Cao Zheng noticed Wu Dong at this moment, and asked curiously.

Wu Dong looked so heroic, he looked extraordinary, not an ordinary person, Cao Zheng immediately began to guess in his heart.

"This is my teacher's sworn brother, Qinghe Wu Dalang, known as Shandong Jiyu, you must have heard of his name." Lin Chong laughed loudly.

"What? It turned out to be timely rain in Shandong? Qinghe Wu Dalang, who is known as the number one hero in Shandong?" Cao Zheng was taken aback. He didn't expect that it was this master who came.

Wu Dong smiled wryly, he didn't know when he had the title of "Shandong's No. [-] Hero" again, but he didn't know.

"I've met Cao Zhuangshi." Wu Dong clenched his fists and said with a smile.

"Don't dare, you are my master's sworn brother, that is my martial uncle, I should treat him as a teacher." Cao Zhengdao.

When the three of them entered the backyard, Lin Chong told Cao Zheng everything he had experienced during this period. When he heard that it was Wu Dong who saved Lin Chong and his wife, Cao Zheng became more respectful and polite to Wu Dong.

Originally, Wu Dong was such a big name, Cao Zheng admired him in his heart, and now he is even more grateful and admired.
