Chapter 129 Yunzhu Mountain
Xu Shu and others from Ai County left Ai County the next day. When they came, there were 20,000 troops. At this time, there were less than 2,000 people returning to Xiangyang, but these two thousand people were all elites. Liu Pan's Fengya camp and 500 soldiers and horses led by Zhou Cang. Yang Ling's soldiers and horses related to Changsha stayed in Changsha this time. Liu Pan, Zhou Cang were accidentally followed by Ma Liang. Along the way, Xu Shu asked Ma Liang from time to time, which was obviously training Ma Liang. More than 100 people led by Ma Zhong did not appear after appearing yesterday, but Xu Shu knew that they were secretly following the army.
Zhou Yu of Xiushui County left Xiushui County with Han Dang and a thousand soldiers and horses soon after Xu Shugang left, rushing to Jiujiang day and night.
The water flow on the Yangtze River is rapid, and hundreds of boats are competing for the flow. More than a dozen large ships are sailing on the river, and all the ships are temporarily evacuated. The flying tiger guard and the brocade sail thief on the big ship were fully armed, and the strict momentum made the ships along the way avoid and dare not compete with it.
On one of the more than ten large ships, Liu Qi slowly drank small wine with a wine glass in his hand, admiring the raindrops rising outside the window. Liu Qi put down his glass and lay on the soft couch beside him. He felt quite bored. They had left Jiangxia for four or five days. In these four or five days, Liu Qi had nothing else to do besides drinking on the boat.
He sighed and was ready to get up and go outside. He heard the footsteps behind him. Liu Qi turned his head and saw Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao coming out surrounded by more than a dozen maids.
Xiao Qiao, who was originally a little depressed because of boredom, smiled at this time, which made Liu Qi's eyes light up. Xiao Qiao saw Liu Qi take a few steps forward and said to Liu Qi, "Son, the boat is quite boring. My sister and I want to go ashore for a walk, okay?" After saying that, he looked at Liu Qi expectantly.
Hearing Xiao Qiao's words, Liu Qi hesitated. According to his situation at this time, he should return to Xiangyang as soon as possible. If he is delayed on the way, there may be other changes. However, the ship is really boring. It's also a good idea to walk ashore, and it is difficult for Liu Qi to decide for a while.
Liu Qi looked at Da Qiao, hoping that Da Qiao could persuade Xiao Qiao. Big Joe took Xiao Qiao's hand and was about to speak. He heard footsteps outside, but Wang Yi, the leader of the Flying Tiger Guard, came in. Seeing Da Qiao and Wang Yi hesitated and said, "The eldest son, there is something strange in the sky outside."
"Oh." Liu Qi looked at Wang Yi and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The sky is a little purple, and the last thousand generals have never encountered this situation." Wang Yidao.
"Let's go and have a look." Liu Qi wanted to walk outside first. Wang Yi then followed, and Da Qiao and the two also followed with some curiosity.
When several people came to the bow, they saw the purple air in the north sky, and the purple air changed into different shapes. Not only Liu Qi and others found the changes in the sky, but also the people on other boats on the surrounding river also found the abnormality in the sky. They all gathered around the bow of the boat and looked at the sky.
Xiao Qiao looked at the purple gas in the sky and said happily, "Purple clouds, this is the sky asking me to get off the boat to rest." After saying that, he came to Liu Qi and blinked and said, "Son, let's get off the boat and rest for two days."
Liu Qi took a look at Xiao Qiao, nodded with a smile and said, "In this case, let's rest here for two days." After saying that, he looked at Wang Yi beside him and said, "General Wang, look for the nearest ferry to go ashore. We will rest here for two days."
"No." After saying that, he turned around and left soon and returned to Liu Qi and said, "Your son, the nearest ferry here is in a place called Yunzhu Mountain, not far ahead."
"Well, let's go on the shore of Yunzhu Mountain." Liu Qi nodded.
"No."
After saying that, Wang Yi went down to arrange, and soon more than a dozen large ships slowly docked at the ferry on the shore.
The ferry here is a small ferry. After only 500 soldiers and horses stationed Wang Yi came forward to show his identity, he temporarily ordered people to take over the defense of the ferry. More than a dozen large ships docked here. Wang Yi had to guard against it.
"My son, everything has been arranged." Wang Yi returned to the boat and said to Liu Qi.
"Hmm. Get off the boat." After saying that, he got up and got off the boat under the leadership of Wang Yi.
As soon as he stepped on the land, Liu Qi felt much more stable, and his mood also improved. After a while, Gan Ning also came to Liu Qi's side and didn't see him for a few days. Gan Ning stepped forward and saluted Liu Qi and said, "Master."
"Well, Xingba, clean up and I'll go for a look together later." Liu Qi waved his hand.
"No." After saying that, Gan Ning also looked relaxed, and he felt very uncomfortable in the boat these days.
Liu Qi still wanted to talk to the two, and then there was a pleasant laughter behind him. Liu Qi turned her head, but the little Qiao sisters got off the boat and came over laughing. Seeing this scene, Liu Qi moved forward and said, "Are you going to play with me or stay here to rest?" It's much easier to travel around with beauties.
Just as Da Qiao was about to speak, he heard Xiao Qiao say, "Of course, I'm going to play. There's nothing bare here."
Liu Qi smiled and said, "In this case, you have to suffer. You can't take a carriage here."
Hesitant to hear that there is no carriage, but he is a little hesitant. After all, their identities at this time cannot appear casually. Xiao Qiao beside him said angrily, "No, no. You think my sister and I have learned singing and dancing for nothing." After saying that, he pulled Big Joe to leave first.
Liu Qi followed with a wry smile with Wang Yi and Gan Ning.
Yunzhu Mountain can see the top of the mountain when standing at the foot of the mountain. At this time, it was late spring, and the cyan color of the mountain had been revealed. Liu Qi and his party went up the mountain with words and laughter.
On the other side of Yunzhu Mountain, a middle-aged man is walking slowly. The man is dressed in white and holding a three-foot green peak, and a gourd hanging casually around his waist seems to be a little nondescript. He looks like a ranger and a Confucian.
Middle-aged people walk slowly. From time to time, they take off the gourd hanging on their waist and take a sip. After drinking, they wipe the corners of their mouth with their sleeves, which is extremely free and casual.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man seemed to feel something and looked up at the sky, and saw the purple atmosphere in the sky churning and change. The middle-aged man couldn't help but stop. The middle-aged man looked up at the purple gas in the distance, frowned and looked puzzled.
"It's such a strong purple gas. Only emperors have had such a strong purple gas since ancient times, but how did the emperor get here in Xuchang at this time?" Middle-aged people are puzzled.
Suddenly, the middle age seemed to have some understanding and looked at the purple gas in the distance and muttered, "No, although the purple gas here is strong, it has not formed a dragon shape. It is definitely not an emperor's image, but a recent formation."
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man was surprised: "Who can form such a vision? This vision is a little stronger than Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande and others."
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, the middle-aged man stretched his eyebrows and smiled towards Yunzhu Mountain, but the pace under his feet was much faster than just now.
