When Jiang Xizhu woke up, the first feeling was blindness, and the second feeling was deafness.

For those who survived the explosion, these two feelings are too normal. Jiang Xizhu felt that it took him a long time to finally be able to recognize the sounds of the outside world. However, his hearing is really limited and his mind is really ethereal. There was a sound like knocking on the wooden floor, and there was nothing he could do to help him go any further.

He maintained this state of not being able to open his eyes and not daring to close them for quite a while, and the mind and memory blown away by the rumbling sound finally came back to his mind. I couldn't faint anymore, and my whole body was under an unprecedented panic, and this emotion was completely relaxed until I finally saw clearly that the person sitting on the side was Li Chengzuo from looking around.

It wasn't until this time that Jiang Xizhu finally returned to his own body with the sensations of his limbs and bones. He felt the pain here and there slowly and lingeringly. He tried to move, but there was no muscle or bone injury, only skin trauma.

His Majesty the Emperor has a lot of arms and legs, but he is dressed in a bit of a mess, his hair is disheveled, his outer shirt looks like it has just dried, and it is crumpled on his body. Looking at it from such a distance, there is still a bit of natural decoration wild handsome.

He can't let him know this idea, Jiang Xizhu thought wildly, otherwise he would definitely call himself "naturally beautiful", that scene is really hard to describe.

Li Chengzuo's eyes are black and blue, which is obviously caused by staying up late. There are several visible skin wounds on his face and bare and bare arms. The bleeding has stopped. I don't know how to wrap it up very simply. Seeing that Jiang Xizhu was awake, he immediately got up, limped on one leg, and moved towards Jiang Xizhu with bouncing bouncing. Before he could get to him, he showed a very happy smile: "Junchi, you're awake."

Jiang Xizhu couldn't speak for a while, his heart was beating like a drum, he just stared at his lame leg, and couldn't even move his eyes.

Li Chengzuo followed his gaze, and immediately understood what he was worried about, and quickly showed a very "shy" smile.

"It's okay, it's okay." He said hurriedly, "It's because of running too fast yesterday, just take it for two days."

As if to prove that he "keeps his word," he rolled up the lame trouser leg while jumping.

From Jiang Xizhu's point of view, apart from a few scratches that didn't hinder anything, only the redness and swelling on the ankle was the biggest hindrance.

Under such a big explosion, Li Chengzuo's miserable appearance can be regarded as unscathed. It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor is really a noble and handsome animal, and fate always favors him again and again.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++

Before the lunatic King Qi lit the fire, Li Chengzuo had already dragged Jiang Xizhu into the courtyard. With only two legs, he couldn't run very far, so he could only avoid it. However, the courtyard was as bare as the head of a monk in a temple. It is really unavoidable, even if there is, Li Chengzuo estimates the amount of gunpowder on that wall, and if he is bombarded by this thing, the copper and iron walls will be turned into scum in an instant.

In a hurry, Li Chengzuo only found a well in a corner of the yard. The well was not a dry well, and the water could still be seen from the top. The soaring fire roasted into roasted meat, and before Jiang Xizhu had time to react, he jumped down holding his prime minister. This is how Li Chengzuo's bruises came from top to bottom-the two big men were still reluctant in the well. At this moment, Li Chengzuo had no choice but to wrap Jiang Xizhu in his arms, and forcibly scratched himself against the rough wall in the well.

However, at that time, they didn't care whether they were injured or not, because they had just been in the well, and there was an earth-shattering "bang" outside, and they couldn't see the flying sand and rocks outside, because the outer edge of the wellhead was impacted by the explosion. They were blasted into powder together, and gravel rushed down the not-so-wide mouth of the well one after another. Li Chengzuo and Jiang Xizhu had nowhere to hide, and they were knocked unconscious one after the other.

Jiang Xizhu's memory only goes up to this point. Enduring the pain all over his body, he touched the back of his head with his hands, and there was indeed a particularly dull pain.

Li Chengzuo watched him move around, showing a very distressed expression, and leaned over and grabbed his hand and stuffed it back into the bedding: "You and I deserve it. The well is not stagnant water, but it is connected to the river outside. Let's go along with it." I drifted along the river unconsciously for about a day and a night before I woke up and brought you ashore."

Jiang Xizhu was stopped by him, and wanted to speak, but found that his voice was very hoarse. It was Li Chengzuo who stopped him directly when he saw him speak: "Don't talk, you soaked in the water for a day and a night, and you got cold. After going ashore It started to get hot...Fortunately, it's summer now, and it won't be a serious problem after taking off the soaked clothes to dry."

Jiang Xizhu frowned, unable to speak, so he had to make a mouth shape: "How many days?"

Li Chengzuo has been very at ease since he woke up, looking at the twilight outside, he said calmly: "Today is the fifth day."

Jiang Xizhu was taken aback. It turned out that he had been in a coma for four days, but he was really lacking in energy. It was the soreness all over his body after the fever and the sticky feeling after soaking in cold sweat, but he felt that he could no longer pass out in such a listless way.

How is King Qi?

How is Yecheng?

What happened to the capital?

Are Taoist Master Zixu, Pei Wenyuan and others looking for them now?

What about Yeluzhen?How can he fulfill the agreement between him and himself without him being by his side?

Those people obviously didn't show up in Ye City, but King Qi's reaction... Could it be that those people have already contacted King Qi?

And Song Yingluo and Prince Rui...

And... where are he and Li Chengzuo?

Jiang Xizhu had a lot of thoughts at once, and all the things in his mind became entangled into a huge knot, one link after another, almost forcing him into an unsolvable tangle.

Jiang Xizhu struggled for a while, trying to sit up, but he couldn't do what he wanted. Li Chengzuo immediately felt the strength. He frowned and pushed Jiang Xizhu back involuntarily. Jiang Xizhu couldn't move, and it didn't make him feel pain at all.

"Don't worry about it, my Junchi." Li Chengzuo knew what he was thinking when he saw his eyes fluttering. Seeing that he was not forgiving, he had no choice but to lower his voice, "I wanted to tell you later, We didn't go ashore by ourselves...and we're not on the shore now, I could only ask for help from a passing boat, unfortunately, this boat belongs to the 'Luochuan Gang'."

Jiang Xizhu: "..."

His Majesty the Emperor always has a thrilling skill to make people go to heaven and sea with one sentence. Jiang Xizhu knows that Li Chengzuo's flickering is just a survival instinct, and now he dare not fool him because he has been scared by him these days, but now Hearing His Majesty's unprecedented frankness, he suddenly had a backward thought that "it seems good to be hidden from the truth".

Jiang Xizhu thought wildly for a moment, knowing that escaping would not solve any problems at all, and soon, that inexplicable thought was replaced by another kind of comfort.

However, no matter what Jiang Xizhu thinks, the situation in front of them is extremely difficult.

The "Luochuan Gang" is the source of that trouble.

When Dayu did not rule the world, the flames of war swept across the south of the Yangtze River and the north and south of the Yangtze River. The common people had no means of living, and most of the land transportation was blocked by the war-torn refugees. The business exchanges among the people basically stagnated. .

The ancestors of Dayu lived in the north, and they were very powerful on horseback. However, from the grandfather to the great-grandson, a family of landlubbers with thriving roots could not take advantage of the waterways, so the waterways became a rare clean place in those war-torn years. All the things that could not be delivered by land went by water, and the transportation of goods was very frequent. In the situation of war in the country, they found a new way to support many refugees who had nowhere to go or make a living. This was the beginning of the Water Gang.

Later, the number of these boatmen, sailors, and trackers increased, and they divided their spheres of influence in various parts of the river. Because of the competition for docks and boats, there were a lot of disputes. Dead bodies can be seen halfway through the water.

It was an era when heroes rose together, and it was also an era of extreme viciousness.This business has mixed with many people who fight fiercely and rob houses. The reputation of the water gang has gradually moved closer to the bandits in the rivers and lakes, especially the fierce ones, who are called "water bandits" by the people along the river.

By the time Tai and Zu unified the Dayu River and Mountains, "water bandits" had already become a climate. Returning to the imperial court solved a serious problem at that time.

The water transport under Luo Qing ruled the river as a branch, and all the waterways were under his command, but they were always responsible for their own affairs. Therefore, although they all belonged to the Cao Gang, the water bandits on each river were usually independent. This rule has been used until now. Now, the head of the Cao Gang is the tenth generation descendant of the Luo family, named Luo Wanchuan. This person runs counter to his ancestor Luo Qing's path of "harmony and wealth". Under his command, there are quite a lot of violent people in the Cao Gang, and the "Luochuan Gang" is one of them.

His Majesty the Emperor is a natural trouble. In his previous life, he was probably a crow spirit who was enlightened by Tianlei. He has never been a good or bad spirit. Jiang Xizhu felt that the "luck" that King Qi said before he died was like a curse. I have experienced such great joy and sorrow like Li Chengzuo.

He sighed, looked at His Majesty the Emperor who said "I have no other choice", and said, "So, we are now on the boat of the 'Luochuan Gang'? How did you get on?"

His majesty's peachy eyes flashed, and he licked his lips: "I said that our brothers were hunted down by the enemy, and there is no livelihood in our homeland. We want to live with the head of the family."

Jiang Xizhu: "..."

His Majesty the Emperor is eloquent, and at critical moments, he must have used his sharp tongue that can bring the dead to life. It was not a big deal to fool people before, but this time he directly fooled himself into the "bandit den" and directly Going to sea as bandits.

Jiang Xizhu's complexion was really ugly, and he felt that Li Chengzuo was too flexible, but under this situation, they really had nothing to do and could only go with the flow.

Jiang Xizhu felt that he was going to sigh for the rest of his life: "It's not so easy for the Cao Gang to recruit people. I heard before that the Cao Gang doesn't separate families, and the 'old manager' who is in charge of the family is very particular about recruiting disciples. They are religious and familiar with each other. Only those who have the opportunity to be recruited, so although there are three schools and nine schools in the Cao Gang, but there are only a few who can be called 'doormen'...how did you get in."

"Is it difficult?" Li Chengzuo looked at him inexplicably, very innocently, "After I got on the boat, I beat them all to the ground and told them that I can read and understand accounts. left us behind."

Jiang Xizhu: "..."

Rivers and lakes matter.

The Prime Minister felt that he was still too tender after all, and Li Chengzuo really had to solve all the problems with this kind of force.Even if Li Chengzuo sprained his feet and landed in trouble, he is still a real dragon who has descended to the earth at a fair price. It is really not a problem to deal with those three-legged cats with loose martial arts. He said that he said that he beat them down. Hiding the cultivation skills of picking flowers and picking leaves, it would not be too difficult to overturn a boat of water bandits and snatch a boat back to the capital.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xizhu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Since Li Chengzuo could easily solve these problems, why didn't he return to the capital, but chose to become a bandit incognito?

Even if he really can't find his way and goes ashore to find the government to identify himself, is he afraid that those local officials won't send them back to Beijing safely?

"Where is this ship going?" Jiang Xizhu asked, with a flash of inspiration, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of another question, "Did you already know that King Qi ignited the gunpowder?"

"How is it possible?" Li Chengzuo's first reaction was to deny it, and then he gave him a very complicated look, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "I really can't hide anything from you...I really don't know about King Qi. Well, that’s already something strange, I think there’s something wrong with the shadow guard from the capital—Song Yingluo herself is unreliable, but the people she teaches know the rules, and the big news won’t show such a fiery expression, as for Qi Wang, I think someone had contacted him before we knew it, because of those things, he obviously just figured it out...I only figured it out these days when you were in a coma, it's too late to say anything ... As for what you suspect, it's not that I don't want to go ashore, but that I can't. I've tried it before boarding this boat. Water transportation is frequent here. When I entered the magistrate's mansion, I found that he and It is a sign of gang collusion to smuggle goods, as for the goods they smuggled... it seems to have been temporarily diverted from Yecheng."

Jiang Xizhu was taken aback for a moment, then he understood in a cold sweat: "Ujin."

Li Chengzuo nodded: "The ship transports water, and the volume of goods transported is huge, and because Luo Wanchuan, the current leader of the Cao Gang, and the court are not dealing with it, even the first emperor turned a blind eye to the matter of water transportation. I wanted to clean up the matter of the water transportation, but I had no money, so I had no choice but to try to make peace as long as they didn't make a fuss... I didn't expect them to take advantage of this loophole, and what's more unexpected is that they have already inserted their hands into something that I absolutely can't tolerate. Where do you think the ship is headed?"

Jiang Xizhu frowned, and blurted out, "Where?"

"Yangzhou." Li Chengzuo sneered, "Dayu's treasury is in the prosperous south of the Yangtze River."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The journey time was not short. Although Jiang Xizhu did not know where Li Chengzuo got on the boat, he thought it was not far from Yecheng. It was half a journey from Yecheng to Jiangnan. The month is coming, although the waterway can shorten most of the time, but after all, the journey is far away, and it will take a month to reach the shore.

Jiang Xizhu lay on the bed for another four or five days before he felt that he could barely stand up. Li Chengzuo went out early every morning and came back on time, but he got tanned in just a few days, but the wound was visible at a speed After recovering, when Jiang Xizhu was able to get up, his lame leg was already fully raised, and he was able to jump and jump.

Jiang Xizhu nestled in the cabin for a few days, and found that he and Li Chengzuo were the only ones who communicated in this cabin on weekdays. The other water bandits were convinced by Li Chengzuo and dared not do it again, or someone specifically explained that they never approached here easily. Jiang Xizhu Following Li Chengzuo's arrangement, he took good care of his wounds in the cabin, and when the recovery was really boring, he leaned out of the cabin door to bask in the sun.

Outside the cabin is the vast river. Jiangxi has a wealth of knowledge, but his knowledge of walking the rivers and lakes is really half-baked. Looking at the endless river rolling in the sky, he really can't tell the difference between the east, the west, and the north, so he can only act according to his feelings.

After more than 20 days like this, Jiang Xizhu's injuries have healed quickly, and the hearing that was shattered by the explosion finally slowly recovered. Li Chengzuo recovered much faster than Jiang Xizhu. Seeing that Jiang Xizhu was fine, he finally let go. tone.

It was dark that day, and the boat was floating on the river. Li Chengzuo came back and sat in the cabin with Jiang Xizhu.

"I heard from them that the boat will dock in three or two days." Li Chengzuo served Jiang Xizhu a cup of hot tea. The wind was strong on the river, and Jiang Xizhu, who just came back from the wind and cold, couldn't stand it. Drifting wet cold.

Jiang Xizhu took the water and thanked him: "After getting off the boat, what are your plans?"

Li Chengzuo fumbled to pack the two people's belongings by looking at the unobvious lights in the cabin. Hearing Jiang Xizhu's question, he paused.

"I want to follow the clues of the Cao Gang to figure out the matter of the Wujin Mine. The Cao Gang belongs to the Jianghu, and the 'choir' also belongs to the Jianghu. I wonder if there are any people on the "Phoenix Seal" in Yangzhou available. Follow this line , maybe he can tidy up the 'choir', and it can be considered as his way out." Li Chengzuo took out the Phoenix seal and wanted to pass the small seal letter to Jiang Xizhu, but felt that there was something in front of him, subconsciously I touched forward in that direction, only to find that a cluster of flames suddenly burst into the dark and unclear room.

"..." Jiang Xizhu hurried forward and pulled Li Chengzuo away, "Don't move, do you want to burn the boat?"

As soon as Li Chengzuo saw this reaction, he immediately understood what it was, and felt that he was outraged: "Tsk...why does this ghost hold grudges so much? I will fry tomatoes with him tomorrow! Why do you carry this thing with you? It's so big Where do you kick an egg every day?"

Jiang Xizhu blushed when he asked, and was very helpless: "He is an ancient divine bird, even an egg has its own consciousness. After I brought it back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I put it in the study every day, but he doesn't like it there. Every time I wake up Then I will find that it will run into my quilt by itself... At first I thought it was some kind of prank, but then I found out... It was him, so I simply made a sachet on the side of my clothes and carried it every day Looking at him, after the explosion of Prince Qi's Mansion, I didn't expect him to fall. Fortunately."

Li Chengzuo: "..."

How do you say this, His Majesty the Emperor thought very sadly and angrily, the days when he and the prime minister shared the same bed were also a good treatment recently, but he didn't expect that he was not the first one, and the first honor was taken by a The eggs came first!

His Majesty the Emperor completely ignored the fact that there might be only one phoenix egg in the whole world, and began to think very seriously about the possibility of rolling phoenix eggs with flatbread.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was caught in the fear of competing with the egg for favor, was very sad. Seeing Jiang Xi put the phoenix egg into the sachet with great care, His Majesty the Emperor, who was unable to do anything now, had to wait until later to destroy the corpse.

The two simply recuperated and fell asleep hastily.

There is a unique salty smell in the river wind. Li Chengzuo spent his most fearful month in this wind and rain. Three nights later, neither he nor Jiang Xizhu fell asleep. Some trivial matters that are not afraid of hearing through walls.

The boat shook suddenly, and Li Chengzuo quickly supported the oil lamp that was about to fall, and then heard the sound of people's footsteps outside the originally quiet cabin.

Li Chengzuo subconsciously grabbed a long sword he found out of the cabin a few days ago, and listened to the movement outside, and found that there was a marching sound outside, and the scattered footsteps were getting closer and closer , and the flames in the distance gradually brightened, even vaguely overshadowing the bean lights in front of me.

There is no such light on the river.

Li Chengzuo and Jiang Xizhu looked at each other, and the emperor and minister realized at the same time that the black ship smuggling goods did not dare to dock in the open fire during the day, but only dared to be a night traveler in the dark.

After a one-month journey, Yangzhou, where the fireworks are accompanied by the prosperous spring breeze, has arrived at the shore.
