Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Walker Wu Song, No. 14 of Shuibo Liangshan platoon, served as the leader of the Liangshan infantry, strong and unyielding in martial arts, once killed a white-fronted tiger with empty hands, he is a character with a lot of pen and ink in the Water Margin.

Xu Zizhen has loved Water Margin since he was a child, and the one he admires the most is Wu Song. It can even be said that his current temper and character are more or less influenced by the characters in this novel. How can you not be excited when you make friends for the first time?

Wu Song frowned. He could feel that Xu Zizhen was really excited, and he didn't have any bad intentions for him. He pondered for a moment and smiled lightly: "You have good eyesight."

Seeing that he admitted, Xu Zizhen was even more excited and didn't know what to do. He didn't know where to put his hands, he raised them and put them down for a while, with a silly smile on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Song couldn't help laughing, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving now, see you someday."

Xu Zizhen suddenly came back to his senses: "Second Brother, are you really going to leave? I haven't practiced my saber skills yet..."

Wu Song smiled: "Didn't you memorize everything? The rest only needs to be honed on the battlefield. I will give this knife to you." After speaking, he waved his hand and strode away without looking back.

Xu Zizhen was in a hurry and shouted: "Second brother, seeing that the Kingdom of Jin is about to attack, will you not come out again?"

Wu Song stopped for a moment, and said lightly: "Mr. Song Ting, I'm just a reckless man. What's the impact if I don't get out of the mountain?"

Xu Zizhen was speechless, watching Wu Song drift away and finally disappeared into the distance.

Wu Song's last sentence was very straightforward, the court is so rotten, what's the use of me, a low-level commoner?Fighting is fighting the enemy with your life, but behind the scenes you have to guard against those corrupt officials and even the stupid emperor. Even the brave and invincible Wu Songwu's second brother lost his fighting spirit.

The jar of wine was not finished, so Xu Zizhen just felt that he was not interested. He sat on the top of the mountain and watched the white clouds change, holding Wu Song's knife tightly in his hand, and did not return to the wine cellar until dark.

During this period of time, his injuries have almost healed, including the knife wound and the arrow wound from the previous fight with Hu Sihai. From here to Lanzhou Mansion, it almost crossed half of the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty diagonally, and the distance was extremely long. After thinking about it all night, he decided to leave the next day.

It was impossible to go back to Suzhou City, so Xu Zizhen bid farewell to Uncle Cheng, who was trying to persuade him, and left a letter for him to pass on. Regarding He Liangliang's situation, he was very worried about whether he would be okay after He Liangliang helped him escape that day.

As for the others, he can't contact him for the time being. Brother Duan Chen is afraid that he has already returned to Dali, and it's impossible for Liuli to return to the Red Sleeve Move. Master Jingde and Li Sheng in Chongyuan Temple don't need to contact them either. They obviously have nothing to do with this matter. He couldn't get involved with them, and as for Mo Li'er, even if he wanted to find her, he couldn't find her anywhere.

Cheng Bo saw that he couldn't keep him, so he had no choice but to let him go. Before leaving, he brought a donkey and used it as a substitute for travel. It is difficult to buy a good horse in the south of the Yangtze River. Xu Zizhen still has gold and silver gifts from Wang Manfu and Hu Qing. After crossing the Yellow River, find another horse market to exchange for a horse.

Xu Zizhen didn't know how to go. Anyway, it was right to go northwest. He bid farewell to Uncle Cheng. He wore a coarse cloth suit, put on a big bamboo hat to cover his bald head, and put a burden on his back. The knife Wu Song gave him He hid in it, and rode a donkey wandering westward.

Now he is dressed like a villager going to the market, and he deliberately only walked the country road. After two days, he safely avoided Kong Qilin's full-scale raid and arrived at the intersection of Jiangnan East Road and Huainan West Road. Jiangning Mansion.

Jiangning Mansion is the Nanjing of the later generations, the capital of Jiangsu Province. It was also a very rich city in the Jiangnan area during the Northern Song Dynasty. Before Xu Zizhen entered the city gate, he could see the towering and endless city walls from a distance. It was very lively.

There are several notices posted on the wall at the gate of the city, among which there is a portrait of Xu Zizhen, but the city defense soldiers here don’t seem to care about this, they just carefully check the passing crowd, and those who can be exploited will cheat, Xu Zizhen Very clearly, he squeezed a piece of loose silver in his hand, and when it was his turn, he stuffed the silver into the guard's hand, and sneaked into the city easily.

Jiangning Mansion, also known as Jinling, is the ancient capital of several dynasties in Chinese history. For example, Wu State in the Three Kingdoms period was the capital here. There are row upon row of high-rise buildings in the city, and the streets are extremely bustling. Another thing comes to mind: when the Jin Kingdom advances and captives the Huiqin sects, the Northern Song Dynasty will become the Southern Song Dynasty, and Jiangning Mansion will then become an important city bordering the Jin Kingdom in the north.

Xu Zizhen felt emotional for a while, and then went to find an inn. He had already thought clearly that the journey from Jiangnan to Northwest was far away, and it would be too long and hard to travel by land alone. Going west, disembark at Jiangling Mansion, then change overland to cross Jingxi South Road, which is later Hubei Province, and go straight to the northwest.

Although this is more troublesome, it can save more than half of the land route. Moreover, there are often large merchant ships going west in Jiangning Prefecture. Most of these flat-bottomed wooden boats are built like castles in the water, which are stable and fast. They will also recruit some good people to escort the boat. Xu Zizhen's idea is to use the boat to travel and earn a living. What's wrong with it?Escort the boat?How can there be so many water bandits in this world?

This inn is not very high-end, and the location is relatively remote. Xu Zizhen is still wanted by the Eastern Route Army. Such a small inn is just what he wants. He asked for a room and gave Xiaoer a piece of money to inquire about it. Talking about the merchant ship's westward journey, Xiaoer naturally became enthusiastic when he saw Yinzi, and chatted in Jiangning official dialect for a long time, but Xu Zizhen didn't understand a word.

Jiangning mandarin had half Jiangnan accent and half Jiangbei accent, which was the most difficult to understand. In the end, the little girl felt embarrassed, and simply told the shopkeeper, and took Xu Zizhen to the pier in person.

The Jiangning Wharf was full of people, and there were carriages and carts coming and going everywhere. The waiter at the inn took Xu Zizhen around to a shore, where a rather luxurious merchant ship had long been parked. Any mark is not very conspicuous in the pile of ships at this dock.

The owner of the ship was a middle-aged man in his late forties, and he seemed to be very familiar with the mistress. After hearing the mistress briefly explain the purpose of his visit, he turned his head to look at Xu Zizhen, looked him up and down, and said without asking any further questions. : "Small merchant ships usually don't have those intrusive thieves. The strong man doesn't need to worry about it, but the reward is also... I wonder if the strong man is willing?"

Xu Zizhen smiled: "I just took a boat with the wind for convenience. I am very grateful that you don't charge me, but where is your boat going?"

The owner of the ship said, "Kuizhou."
