Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 674: Acting Separately

Luokou warehouse, also known as Xingluo warehouse, is located at the mouth of the Luohe River into the Yellow River. It can flow upstream along the Luohe River to the west, flow into the sea along the east of the Yellow River, and enter the Grand Canal from north to south. The transportation is convenient and radiates in all directions. Every year, the food in the south is It will be transported northward along the Grand Canal to Luokou Warehouse to supply Chang'an and Luoyang. It can be said to be one of the most important granaries in the Tang Dynasty.

Every year when it is time to transport grain, there are thousands of ships a day, which is spectacular.

Today is the season of spring plowing, not the busiest time for transporting grain. Even so, the wharf is still in full swing, and thousands of sails are competing to sail as far as the eye can see.

Seeing this scene on the pier, Princess Zhenzhu exclaimed, "Wow! So many boats! What a big boat!"

Such a big boat?

Are you trying to make me laugh on purpose?

May I ask if you are here to travel time and time again?Crosstalk is good!

Su Cheng shook his head secretly. He really wanted to stay away from the bumpkin princess. Now he suddenly regretted taking Princess Zhenzhu with him.

No, he never planned to bring it along, it was Princess Zhenzhu who had the cheek to follow her.

However, not only Princess Zhenzhu screamed, but also Wu Jue, Yingluo, and Xiangxue who got off the carriage also let out exclamations of surprise.

They have never seen such a scene.

Princess Zhenzhu pulled Su Cheng's arm excitedly and asked, "Where is our ship? Which one is our ship?"

Su Cheng really wants to remind her that it's not our boat, but mine!

"Over there, that's the biggest boat!" Su Cheng pointed to the big boat not far away and smiled.

That's the boat that Li Shimin assigned to Su Cheng, and even Li Shimin can't afford an ordinary boat.

Xue Rengui had already commanded the soldiers to move all the things in the carriage to the boat. Li Yun stepped forward to say goodbye, and he would lead the cavalry to go south along the bank of the canal simultaneously with the boat.

"You must be vigilant on the road, you must be vigilant at night, and you must be careful about what you eat and drink. Even the food and grass sent by the government must be careful, and you must not follow other people's ways..." Su Chengyin urged road.

Li Yungong said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have learned a lot from General Xue along the way, and I already know something about heresy, whoever dares to be unfavorable to my lord, I promise to kill one and kill two." A pair!"

Princess Zhenzhu next to her also hurriedly warned: "Li Yun, you have to take good care of my little flower!"

Li Yun smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry, I will take good care of these horses!"

The [-] cavalry only brought dry food and water, except for sabers, bows and arrows. They didn't have to worry about supplies at all, because they had court documents on them, and they would provide food and grass no matter where they went, and they only needed to report to the court later.

So for Li Yun and other cavalry, this journey should not be too exciting!On the contrary, I was looking forward to meeting some strong man in the world, and then having a big fight.

The boat that Li Er prepared for Su Cheng was the inner palace boat, which was mainly used for the inner palace to go to the south of the Yangtze River for purchases. Naturally, he paid attention to royal style, not only big, but also extremely quiet and comfortable on board.

Two ships are more than enough to carry more than 300 people.

Everyone on the boat looked around curiously, even Su Cheng was very curious.

After just strolling around for a while, the maids and women were busy decorating the room.

Su Cheng turned his head and looked at Princess Zhenzhu who was curious about everything and asked, "By the way, can you swim?"

Princess Zhenzhu shook her head, and said as a matter of course: "No way! How could I know water?"

Then Su Cheng turned his head to look at Wu Jue and Yingluo and asked, "What about you?"

Wu Jue was a little speechless: "Surely not, how can a woman know how to swim?"

Wu Jue just gave Su Cheng a supercilious look, women know how to be fooled?What do you think?Don't say she is a lady of everyone, but an ordinary woman, who would swim in the river?

Not to mention the northern women, most of the Jiangnan women can't swim.

Su Cheng himself knows how to swim, and when he selected the soldiers who went south with him, he also chose soldiers who returned to the water. Although they may not be as proficient in water as the southerners, at least they can dog-plan, and they will not drown if they fall into the water. die.

But Su Cheng forgot that Wu Jue and the others couldn't swim. If they fell into the water, it would be a big trouble.

Su Cheng stood at the bow of the boat and looked around at the busy crowd at the pier. He didn't know that there must be someone following him.

Some people might think it was an exaggeration for him to bring five hundred elite soldiers to the south, but Su Cheng didn't think it was an exaggeration at all.He himself is not a person who likes to show off. The only reason why he brought so many elite soldiers is because he thinks that someone may have his idea.

He had this kind of premonition somewhere, that going south this time would never be peaceful.

Lao Ma once said that when the profit reaches [-]%, some people will take risks.

And once Su Cheng is kidnapped, it will be a huge profit!

However, Su Cheng went south fearlessly, and he also made sufficient preparations for this. It was nothing more than soldiers coming to cover the water and soil, to see who had a deeper way, and he wanted to see what ghosts and monsters jumped out!

"My lord, everything has been arranged!" Xue Rengui replied.

"Have you prepared everything I asked the ship to prepare?" Su Cheng asked.

"The last general has checked it all, and prepared everything according to the father-in-law's order!" Xue Rengui replied.

"Okay, let's sail!" Su Cheng nodded.

"My lord has orders, let's set sail!"

"sail!"

Two large ships with thousands of materials slowly left Luokou Cang Wharf.

Whether it is compared to the bustling Luokou Cang Wharf or the Luohe River, which is full of boats, these two big ships are not very eye-catching when they leave the wharf. Of course, it is also because Su Cheng did not hang his own flag on the ship. Otherwise, the title of Ankang County Duke is still very popular.

Li Yun led [-] cavalrymen outside the pier and watched the two big ships going down the river, and immediately waved: "Let's go!"

The people on the dock who have been watching the two big boats are not only Li Yun and the others, they are inconspicuous on the crowded dock, watching Su Cheng board the boat, watching the boat slowly leave the dock and go down the river .

Some people stepped out of the pier, mounted their horses and galloped away.Some people jumped on the boat and left the pier to go down the river. What's even better is that someone strolled on the pier with a birdcage, wrote a line with a pen and tied it to the pigeon, and let the pigeon fly.

Su Cheng would never have thought that just after he left Chang'an and arrived in Luoyang, he had already caused turmoil in the world.

In fact, Su Cheng doesn't know much about Jianghu, because Su Cheng lives in the temple and is too far away from Jianghu.

However, he was somewhat curious about Jianghu, but he never imagined that people in Jianghu were very poor, because the reward of 1 taels of gold was crazy.

Since ancient times, chivalry has been banned by martial arts. Although the imperial courts of all dynasties are very hostile to the rivers and lakes, the green forests of the rivers and lakes have never been cut off. They can survive and even grow in the cracks, naturally they have their abilities.
