Chapter 181
After hearing Guo Huaishou's words, Fan Mastiff asked with interest: "Uncle Guo, can we see the white gas coming out of that well in the city from the river?"

"I can't see it for a long time." Guo Huaishou said with a smile: "Now that well is covered all the year round, there is still white gas coming out."

Fan Mastiff and Hu Qiudi looked regretful.

However, Xue Chang's heart moved: Although the origin of this White Emperor City is different from the history of the previous life, they all lead to the same goal by different routes...

He couldn't help but said: "I have a story about this Baidi City."

"Master, tell us quickly!" As soon as they heard that Xue Chang was about to make up another story, the two apprentices immediately became energetic.

Xue Chang coughed twice, and said in a clear voice: "There was a dynasty that ruled the world for more than 400 years. In its late stage, it was rotten and the people couldn't stand it. An uprising broke out. Although it didn't destroy the dynasty, it destroyed its foundation. , which eventually led to warlord separatism and chaos.

There was a hero who was a descendant of the royal family of this dynasty. He was determined to bring peace to the troubled times and return the people to a bright future. However, his background was too low. He has gained quite a reputation, but he has struggled hard for more than 20 years, but he has neither a stable business site nor strong financial resources, and has always been dependent on others...

Until one day, he heard that there lived a secluded man in the mountains and plains of the Jinghu area, who could secure the world, so he visited the thatched cottage three times, and sincerely invited this virtuous man to assist him.This talented person also made a strategic plan for him to 'occupy Jinghu Bashu, divide the world into three parts, and wait for the future'.Under his advice, the hero really occupied Bashu, Hanzhong, and part of Jinghu, and established a kingdom.

Just when he was ambitious to restore the Central Plains, another kingdom entrenched in Jiangnan who was allied with him secretly betrayed the covenant and suddenly attacked the Jinghu area, resulting in the defeat of his righteous brother and the general guarding Jinghu. kill.This hero did not listen to the dissuasion of his ministers, and became angry with his army. He personally led the Bashu army, went east to Jinghu, and fought a decisive battle with the enemy country in the south of the Yangtze River who had betrayed the covenant. Unexpectedly, the company camp was burned and almost the entire army was wiped out. He led the remnants of the defeated army and fled here Baidi City, because of repeated blows, has become seriously ill.

Before he died, he called the talented man who had been promoted to prime minister to his bed, asked his only son to worship him as a foster father, and said to him: "If my son is good, you can help him; if my son Unworthy, you can replace it'.And the prime minister's answer was: "I will do my best to assist the young master, and I will do my best until I die... This is the story of Tuogu in Baidi City." "

"What happened later?" Fan Mastiff, who was fascinated, asked eagerly.

"Later, the prime minister of the Shu Kingdom devoted himself to assisting the young master, and devoted himself to handling the state affairs. During his reign, he was strong and law-abiding, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The politics of Bashu was clear and orderly. He personally led the army to pacify the Nanman, and led the army out of Hanzhong five times. , and attacking the Northwest, although they have made some gains, but the country is small and weak, and they all returned in vain in the end, and he himself died of illness on the way to the expedition because of overwork, and he really did his best and died..."

After listening to Guo Huaishou, he was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Although Mr. Xue said this is just a story, Guo feels like it happened in real life. This prime minister has the talents of the world, but his moral character is so noble. It’s really admirable to die after death! It’s a pity! If my Bashu was really governed by such a virtuous prime minister, it would be really a blessing for the people of Shu!”

Seeing Guo Huaishou's pensive look, Xue Chang couldn't help but said: "This is a dream I once had. After waking up, I found that I still remembered this dream, so I kept it in my heart. I still remember it. In the dream, later generations admired this Prime Minister of Shu, and wrote a couplet to praise his strategy of governing Shu, would Brother Guo want to hear it?"

"Quick, tell me and listen!" Guo Huaishou's heart itch was unbearable.

"Those who are able to attack the mind will turn their backs on themselves. Since ancient times, we have known that soldiers are not good at war; if we don't judge the situation, we will be wrong about leniency and strictness. Later, we must think deeply about governing Shu."

Guo Huaishou repeatedly recited these two sentences in a low voice, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

At that time, the old leader Han adopted many orphans. He not only taught them martial arts, but also let them learn Chinese characters. To take charge of one's own side", so he was determined to let him take on the heavy responsibility, but Guo Huaishou insisted on going to Gongzhou to take over the helm.Under his painstaking management, the Gongzhou sub-rudder overwhelmed the other sub-rudders and became the most powerful force in the Flying Fish Gang, and Guo Huaishou was also highly respected by the gang members.

When the old gang leader Han was seriously ill, he had wanted Guo Huaishou to be the new gang leader, but he resolutely refused and vowed to assist Han Yeqiu with all his strength.After the old leader Han passed away, with Guo Huaishou's full support and mediation, the Feiyu Gang reached an agreement to let Han Yeqiu take over.During this period of time, he stayed in Rongzhou, assisting Han Yeqiu in handling affairs, winning people's hearts, and establishing prestige... Just because his experience during this period was somewhat similar to the Prime Minister of Shu in the story Xue Chang told, he was a little suspicious of him at first The meaning is pointed, but the story is well told, and this couplet is definitely not something that ordinary people can write. Besides, he knew that Han Yeqiu and Xue Chang were not close at all before, so it was Qian Fuzhi's proposal to make Xue Chang this time. Therefore, he dispelled most of his doubts, and began to ponder the profound truth contained in this couplet.

At this moment, the sailor at the bow shouted: "Helmsman, Kuimen is almost here!"

Guo Huaishou's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately put his chaotic thoughts behind him, and strode towards the bow of the boat.

At this time, the passenger ship had already passed Baidi City, and the broad river narrowed suddenly. There were cliffs standing on both sides of the front, hundreds of feet high, but less than a hundred meters apart, like two huge portals connecting heaven and earth.

Xue Chang's eyes were sharp, and he could see five huge characters engraved on the red cliff on the left: "Kuimen is the hero of the world!"

Kuimen, the gateway to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the cold current rushing from the XZ plateau and the eternal snow-capped mountains, gathered the power of thousands of rivers, turned into the Yangtze River, and with the mighty power of heaven and earth, this Kuimen, which is amazed by ghosts and gods, was carved out and stretched out in one go. The Grand Canyon, which is more than 400 miles long, is so majestic and majestic.

However, for Fan Mastiff, Hu Qiudi and others who were in it, they were shocked and could not help themselves.

Especially when the passenger ship passes through Kuimen and enters the canyon, there are dangerous peaks and cliffs on both sides of the strait, which are difficult for even apes to climb; above the head is a winding sky, and the sun can't be seen, only the rapidly changing clouds and mists can be seen; The unruly water dragon, tossing and roaring, made the passenger ship difficult to control in the violent shaking.

"Cheer up!" Guo Huaishou yelled loudly, holding an oar as big as a door leaf, ready to adjust the course of the passenger ship at any time.

Among the people on the boat, only Xue Chang seemed calm. He who was always shocked by the Three Gorges in his previous life had a superb martial arts, and even his courage became bold. And whether the light function can climb up.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that unless he purchased the "Nine Yin Manual" from the system mall, and practiced the destructive claws in it to a great extent, as the system said, "grasping rocks is like grasping tofu", can he be able to fight in the future? On this cliff, climbing up one claw at a time, it is possible to complete this feat by relying on the endless Nine Suns Divine Art.

Just as he was thinking about it, the sailor at the stern shouted anxiously: "Helmsman, there is a ship following us, I am afraid it has malicious intentions!"

In the canyon, the wind on the river was very strong, the waves were loud, and the voices were very loud, so they might not be able to hear them, but the boat was full of martial arts practitioners with sharp eyes and ears. Guo Huaishou did not immediately run to the stern after hearing it clearly On the roof of the boat, look back carefully: I saw a refitted fast boat with a ram embedded in the bow, bumping forward in the wind and waves, like a galloping horse, coming towards the passenger ship, and the distance between the two ships was less than [-] meters in an instant .

When Guo Huaishou saw the appearance of the man carrying the oars flying like flying in the bow of the boat, he was startled, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, there are enemies approaching from behind, please control the boat to prevent collision!" , He got into the boat shed, picked up an iron rod made of fine iron, more than three feet long, and ran to the stern.

Xue Chang rushed over immediately and asked, "What happened?"

Guo Huaishou didn't intend to hide it, pointed at the back with the iron rod, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Sheng's wolf is on that boat, and it looks like he wants to hit our boat! Brother Xue, let your apprentice go back to the boat shed. Hold tight to the side of the boat to prevent accidents!"

Xue Chang didn't respond immediately, but instead asked, "Can you handle it?"

Guo Shoushou hesitated for a while before saying: "...Don't worry, I will do my best to make this wolf come and go!"

Xue Chang could hear the decisiveness in Guo Huaishou's words. He looked back at the sailors who were tensely manipulating the passenger ship, then at the two apprentices who were a little panicked by it, and then turned back to look at the fast sailor who was riding the wind and waves. The ship, after only a moment, the distance between it and the passenger ship was shortened to 50 meters...

The situation is so critical that there is no time to think about it.

Xue Chang stretched out his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Guo, give me the iron rod, I will deal with the boat behind, and you are responsible for controlling the boat!"

"You?!" Guo Huaishou was puzzled.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Xue Chang urged, in his desperation, the Nine Suns Divine Art was naturally activated, with a forceful aura, making Guo Huaishou involuntarily hand over the iron rod.

Xue Chang held the iron rod in his hand and weighed it, feeling very light.

He looked at the clippers that were getting closer, then closed his eyes and carefully felt the strength of the river wind. He concentrated his mind and stimulated the breath in his dantian, and the abundant true energy quickly spread throughout his body.

Xue Chang opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes shot a piercing light, which dazzled Guo Huaishou beside him.
