Chapter 265 The Immortal Touches My Top

Huainan has a well-developed water system, with criss-crossing rivers and dotted with lakes and ponds.Simply put, as long as you have a boat, you can replace walking and reach the place you want.

The frontier defense of the Southern Dynasties has always emphasized that "to defend the river, we must defend the Huaihe River." The water system of the two Huaihe Rivers can slow down the marching speed of the northern cavalry, and it can also provide water supplies for our infantry.

A few days later, Liu Yishou and the others entered the Yangtze River from Gaoyou Lake in a building boat, and the scenery in front of everyone suddenly opened up.At the Suiyang Ferry, the building boat looked quite big, but at this moment it was like a drop in the ocean, unremarkable.

Guangling (predecessor of Yangzhou) on the south of Gaoyou Lake is the hub of water and land connection. There are a lot of ships from the Yangtze River to Guangling through the canal, and the shipping is very busy.

Standing on the deck of the building, Yang Jiang, who was dressed in a men's gray robe, looked dumbfounded.She had never seen such a magnificent scenery before, and it was an eye-opener for a while, and she realized that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and the ancients are sincere.

"The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to compete."

Liu Yishou put his hands on Yang Jiang's shoulders, his steps were sloppy, his body was so weak that he couldn't move.

"People who are seasick should shut up and go back to the cabin to rest. You are showing off again."

Yang Jiang said angrily, after all, she still let Liu Yishou hug her tightly with a smile on her lips.It was dusk now, and the sun dyed the surface of the river red, which was indescribably magnificent.

"Sunset clouds and lone ducks fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky, magnificent!"

Liu Yishou let go of Yang Jiang, supported the side of the boat and said with emotion.

All the scenery is in this poem, and Yang Jiang stopped talking, and the two just looked at the river quietly, thinking of many things from the past in their minds.

"At the beginning I thought about running away from marriage... But you know, I'm a soft-tempered person. Seeing my father frowning, I took the initiative to bring it up."

"So what do you want to say?"

Liu Yishou glanced at her, feeling that the other party's emotions were inexplicable.

"I want to say, maybe my luck has always been good?" Yang Jiang hugged Liu Yishou's arm with a satisfied face.

"Be willing to give up, there is no gain if you don't give up. Grab what is yours, and don't force what is not yours. This is the wisdom of life."

Liu Yishou waved his hands and looked at the river, but in his mind was the magnificent scene of a hundred thousand troops besieging Taicheng.In the same scene, the emotions of men are always much different from those of women.

"A Lang, will there be many hardships and dangers in entering Liang Kingdom this time?"

Yang Jiang asked with some concern, she is now completely immersed in the identity of "Liu Dudu's important woman", instead of thinking about issues from the starting point of "Yang Kan's daughter".

"He is strong and he is strong, and the breeze blows the hills. He is strong and he is strong, and the moon shines on the river."

At this time, the sun was about to set in the river, but there was a bright crescent moon hanging in the sky. Yang Jiang looked at the spectacle of "sun and moon in the same sky", thoughtfully.

"Liu Dudu said well!"

Someone clapped their hands behind them, and when they turned around, they saw Lan Qin wearing that strange armor and applauding.

"General Lan, I have a question and I don't know if I should say it or not."

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

"As long as it doesn't involve military aircraft, it doesn't matter."

Lan Qin laughed generously.

"The armor on General Lan's body is not much different from ordinary armor at first glance, but I noticed that the colors on the armor are all painted on. The material of this armor should be paper?"

Hearing this, Lan Qin, who just said generously "you can ask anything", fell silent in an instant, without saying a word.

"General Lan is really stingy, you can ask anything before, but you are not happy when my Alang asks about the armor on your body, tsk tsk, breaking your promise and getting fat is not the style of a general."

Seeing that the scene was not right, Yang Jiang taunted Lan Qin for Liu Yishou.

"Forget it, the armor on the lower body is called paper armor. It was a new type of armor developed during the Qi State (Southern Qi), but it was abandoned because it was not practical. I think this thing has merits, so I equip it separately in our army , it made Liu Dudu laugh."

Lan Qin said insincerely that he did not lie, but it was hard to say whether he had told all the facts.

Liu Yishou waved his hands indifferently and said, "General Lan refused to take off his armor on the ship, which shows that this armor has advantages that other armors don't have. Can you tell me a little bit?"

"Haha... If you really want to talk about the advantages, it will sink if you fall into the water wearing armor for a while."

I see!The density of paper armor is much lower than steel, even lower than water. Before it is completely soaked, it can provide a little buoyancy for those who fall into the water. After all, there may be some kind of wood in this thing as a skeleton.

Paper armor was already popular among the elite navy in the Southern Song Dynasty. The biggest reason is that Lan Qin said that it can not sink in the water and can provide armor protection.No matter what kind of white stripes in the waves or dragons crossing the river in the navy, as long as they put on a pair of iron armor, they will sink to the bottom of the water with a rumble, and even the gods will not be able to save them.

The benefits of wearing paper armor are self-evident.

"I have a presumptuous request. Can General Lan give me the next set of paper armor? Yang Jiang is very interested to see."

Liu Yishou pointed to Yangjiang and said.

Liu Yishou believed that Lanqin would still give him the face he had with Yang Kan.After all, it's fine if you don't know about such things as paper armor. Once you know that it has been popularized in the army, it's not too difficult for someone like Liu Yishou to get one or two sets.

Sure enough, after a little thought, Lan Qin readily agreed to him.After a while, Yuan Shikang had already put on the paper armor worn by the guards. The style was the same as that of Lan Qin, but it lacked some colors and looked very rustic.

"Do you mind if I cut you a few times?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

There was a drop of cold sweat on Yuan Shikang's forehead, but he still held his hands together and said, "My lord, please let me go!"

"Forget it, keep the things well. After we return to Shouyang, we will study this stuff carefully."

……

Jurong in the south of Jiankang, and Juqu Mountain in the southernmost part of Jurong, on the mountainside, there is an inconspicuous courtyard with the words "Zhuyang Pavilion" written on the plaque on the door.

There were a few extremely gorgeous carriages parked outside the courtyard, which were out of tune with the simple style of Zhu Yang Pavilion, and looked a bit different.

In the lobby of the Zhuyang Pavilion, a middle-aged man with bones and immortals was sitting in the main seat, wearing a white Taoist robe all over his body.Although he looks like he is only in his 40s, he is actually in his 70s.

He was Tao Hongjing who was highly valued by Xiao Yan, but refused to be an official, and was obsessed with studying immortal arts and Taoism!Xiao Yan would consult this person on many national affairs, including the matter of marrying Princess Great Wall to Liu Yishou.

In Tao Hongjing's reply letter, he just said that he asked Liu Yishou to come to Juqu Mountain, and the matter could be settled after meeting.If you don't want to come, then let the marriage go, don't force it.

"Master Xian, why do you insist on seeing Liu Yishou?"

The person speaking was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, and he was Xiao Yan's third son, Xiao Gang.He was here to wait for Liu Yishou, but the reason was different from Tao Hongjing.

In fact, Xiao Gang didn't know why Tao Hongjing waited for Liu Yishou.

"It's just for my little obsession."

Tao Hongjing smiled slightly, very indifferently.He has been living in seclusion here for nearly 40 years. He came here during the Southern Qi Dynasty. During this period, dynasties changed and the sea changed. Many things have faded for him.

A person who can make Tao Hongjing obsessed must be extraordinary!
Xiao Gang would not admit that he came here for "masculinity". He told Tao Hongjing that he wanted to see how his brother-in-law was doing. Of course, he also wanted to make friends with Liu Yishou.

In short, he thought a lot, but he didn't do a single thing. He didn't express anything other than asking Lan Chin to help him.

This is not to blame Xiao Gang excited.Except for people with brains, as long as they are normal people, they can think that Xiao Yan's days in power may not be many.

Xiao Yan is 66 years old this year!How many previous emperors lived to 66?

Even if Xiao Yan died tomorrow, Xiao Gang would not be surprised.As Xiao Yan's son-in-law, if he can't sit on the throne, what situation he will face, needless to say.

It couldn't be better to make friends with a "brother-in-law" who holds a heavy army.This is an idea that normal people would have, even if Xiao Yan knew about it, he would not do anything to him.

After all, Liu Yishou's troops will be in Shouyang in the future, which is still far away from Jiankang.

To be honest, Xiao Gang felt that Tao Hongjing was in no hurry to wait in the Zhuyang Pavilion, he was already in a hurry!

"Master Immortal, there is a group of people outside, led by General Lan Qin, waiting outside the door."

When Xiao Gang was anxious, a young Taoist boy walked into the lobby and whispered to Tao Hongjing.Xiao Gang, who had sensitive ears, immediately became energetic!
"Third prince, let's go meet with the old Taoist."

Tao Hongjing stood up and smiled slightly, beckoning to Xiao Gang with some childishness.

……

Looking at Liu Yishou's intoxicating and imposing appearance, Xiao Gang instantly felt that his child molestation was not good.

His own child may not be inferior to Liu Yishou in terms of appearance alone, but he lacks that heroic self-confidence.

Liu Yishou noticed Xiao Gang's "fiery" gaze, pretended not to know, and just looked at Tao Hongjing.

"General Liu, guess how old the old man has lived this year?"

Tao Hongjing asked nonchalantly, as if making a routine.

Liu Yishou replied truthfully, "It's only forty years old."

It is better to be called sister than elder sister, elder sister is better than aunt, and aunt is better than grandma. Liu Yishou remembers this infallible truth.

"The old man is already seventy-four this year."

Tao Hongjing stroked his gray beard and said.

This is impossible!

Everyone present was shocked, including Xiao Gang who knew Tao Hongjing's age!It's one thing to know, but another thing to hear the other party admit it!

"General Liu, you follow the old Taoist into the wing room, and the rest of you can wait here for a while."

Tao Hongjing smiled and nodded at Liu Yishou, indicating that he was not malicious, and led Liu Yishou into the wing behind the lobby.Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, Yang Jiang even wanted to follow, but Yuan Shikang stopped him with his eyes.

If Xiao Gang asked Liu Yishou to have a secret talk, it would definitely not be a good thing.But it's obvious that Tao Hongjing's status is unusual, he is the one who decides here, it's better not to act rashly.

The furnishings in the wing room are very ordinary, and it can even be called a study room, because there are several large bookshelves here, all of which are all kinds of books that Tao Hongjing painstakingly collected.

"I have an old relationship with Bachelor Shen Yue. When he was in trouble, he sent a large number of books at home to me for safekeeping. Later, I interceded with the emperor, and the emperor did not embarrass the Shen family in the end."

Tao Hongjing said with a smile, looking very kind.

Liu Yishou said respectfully: "Master Tao Xianzhai has a benevolent heart, I admire you."

Tao Hongjing didn't seem to be in the mood to chat with him, so he rummaged through the bookshelves for a long time, found a book, handed it to Liu Yishou, and said, "This page of this book, you can read it yourself, it is collected by Shen Yue back then. It was collected when I was alone in the previous dynasty."

Liu Yishou took the book, and on the cover was written "Jiankang Miscellaneous Notes * Supplement Volume", the author was Shen Yue.

Shen Yue's name is like thunder, and when Xiao Yan successfully occupied Jiankang with his army, he was hesitant about how to deal with it later.It was Shen Yue who insisted that Xiao Yan become the emperor, and that's how Liang Guo came to be.

"Xuan (Xie Xuan) ordered Wang Peng to send more than a thousand people from the Northern Mansion to aid Luo Jian, but Wang Peng couldn't help Luo Jian, and when they reached Luo Jian, the Qin army was already defeated..."

"At the beginning, the sky was dim. Later, when the flames lit up, the enemy's flag was in ruins, and the words "Eternal Victory Army" written on it could be vaguely seen. The enemy soldiers who abandoned their helmets all had yellow hair, eagle noses and sunken eyes, like barbarians."

The book records a strange incident. Wang Peng, who belongs to the Beifu Army, was ordered by Xie Xuan to lead more than a thousand people to support the front line.Encountered a strange enemy army on the way.

Under the banner of the "Eternal Victory Army", these people fought back with strange weapons. As soon as the fire blazed, the soldiers under Wang Peng's command would suffer casualties.Later, Wang Peng led troops to attack with fire and wiped out the army.After arriving at the designated support battlefield, the Qin army had already been defeated and fled, and Wang Peng assisted a lonely one.

And it was already three days later, but Wang Peng felt that it was only a day and a night.

When discussing military exploits, Wang Peng was punished for "cowardly fighting", so he told the story, which was recorded by the historians of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.In the end, the classics were transferred to Shen Yue.

It is true that Shen Yue collected tens of thousands of volumes of books and collected many orphan copies.

It's just this story, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Wang Peng met the modern musketeers queuing up and shooting!

Noticing Liu Yishou's strange expression, Tao Hongjing asked with a smile, "Isn't there anything General Liu wants to say?"

"say what?"

Liu Yishou felt a little baffled, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"The old Taoist has lived for so many years. He has been a servant of the emperor and a high-ranking official. He also cultivates his health and mind, and pursues a long life. To be honest, there is nothing that can impress the old Taoist. Those fame and fortune are all things to me. Like floating clouds, no matter what you give me, I don't feel anything."

Tao Hongjing spoke slowly, as if talking to himself.

"The immortal master may wish to speak up if he has something to say."

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice.You are so desperate, and you still call me for questioning, are you really free?

"When I was studying alchemy, a certain alchemy furnace burst, the sound was like a bell, and it was like fire and lightning. It was a bit similar to what was described in this book. The old man was thinking that those fools in the book might be people from the future. A weapon that sounds like a bell is only a weapon for future generations.

A veteran can do it by frying a pill furnace, and I believe it is not difficult for them to do it.

In the past, the old Taoist was skeptical about this, until he heard General Liu's words and deeds, and sent Daotong to sneak into Pengcheng to investigate General Liu's ancestral home, and found that General Liu, you seem to be a person who jumped out of a rock.

So the old man guessed that this kind of thing might be true.

So the old man was thinking, General Liu, are you also a future person? "

Tao Hongjing looked at Liu Yishou with burning eyes and asked, "Can General Liu give the old Tao an answer right now?"

　The incident was widely circulated on the Internet, but it took me some time to confirm that it was fabricated by people later. As for which era it was fabricated, it is hard to say.It is written in the novel only because of the needs of the situation and the plot, and it must not be believed to be true.
