Zhang Xiaofan and the other three sat on the big nanmu and followed the surging water of the Yellow River all the way east. Although they occasionally collided with other golden nanmus in the water, fortunately, they were all in danger.

Zhang Xiaofan held a long sword in his arms, standing proudly at the front of the big nanmu. Facing the river breeze blowing opposite, his clothes fluttered in the wind. The blurred plants and green mountains on the river bank flashed by.

The sound of surging water kept coming to his ears, and the sound of collision between nanmu and floating ice, as if he was driving thousands of horses and rushing in the water. This wonderful experience was unique before, and Zhang Xiaofan was very happy.

On the other end of Nanmu, Ma Xier firmly held Nanmu under her with one hand and pulled Diandian with the other, for fear that she would fall into the water.

In Ma Xier's opinion, Diandian is short and childish. Although she is a girl, she is still young and doesn't take her heart.

However, I was always a little embarrassed when I kept holding the other person's hand, so I chatted with Dian Dian all the time, and at the same time I was constantly comforting myself:

"The Yellow River is known as the most dangerous place, but it is actually in the upper reaches of the north. As far as I know, there is a Hukou waterfall there. The ancients said that there is a 'storm flowing thousands of feet, and the water can enter the stone without a stone chisel'."

"That is to say, the waterfall is a thousand feet high. The water splashes falling from the heights can directly hit the stones, which is a strange danger in the world."

"But don't worry, we were washed down from Tongguan. I am from Henan, and the water is all in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Although the water flows surging, there are no waterfalls anymore. Don't be afraid."

Diandian's palm was tightly held by Ma Xier, so she was afraid. Her face was red, and she was fascinated by what kind of wonder would the Hukou Waterfall, which was thousands of feet tall.

I couldn't help but say, "Brother Ma, if we can survive, you can take me to see what that thousand-foot-high waterfall looks like. I have never seen the waterfall before."

Ma Xier didn't expect that the girl in front of her knew her surname. After looking down, she recognized that it was the girl who accidentally touched her cannon mechanism on the day of the Shangyuan Festival. She said in surprise: "It turned out to be you, you were not the day of the Shangyuan Festival..."

When Diandian saw that Ma Xier recognized her, she felt even more happy and hurriedly said, "My name is Diandian."

Ma Xier smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we were really destined to be there. I could still meet this here at the third update in the middle of the night. This scene, even an hour ago, I would never have dreamed of it."

Diandian's heart was sweet and thought to himself: "Although I didn't dream of such a scene, I dreamed of you..."

Ma Xier said again: "Actually, I think that the so-called hanging flowing thousands of feet is probably an exaggeration from the ancients. Just like the poet Li Bai said, "Flying flowing down three thousand feet" is just a function word. But since the ancients described it like this, the Hukou Waterfall should be a wonder."

"Okay, Brother Ma promised you. If we can escape this time, if we have time in the future, we will definitely take you to Hukou Waterfall to see the hanging flowing thousands of feet."

Ma Xier only acted as a child who was willing to ask for a joke, so she agreed immediately.

When Diandian saw Ma Xier responding to her, she was happy. Looking at the surging river water, the floating ice and giant trees that kept floating around. Not only did she feel afraid, she vaguely hoped that it would be better not to stop the surging river water forever...

Perhaps it was because Dianci hope that it had come into effect.

Ma Xier originally thought that even if the water of the Yellow River was surging, it would definitely not always rush like this. She would always encounter places like shoals.

Unexpectedly, until dawn, the speed of the water flow did not slow down at all.

The Yellow River kept turning and forking along the way, and the water level was slightly stable until it was approaching noon.

Zhang Xiaofan took the opportunity, carried a person in one hand, stepped on the nanmu that kept floating in the river. After several leaps, he jumped to the shore.

After the three of them stepped on the ground, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After a long time of slowing down, they remembered to ask what the place was.

Ma Xier can only ask about such a job. He even asked several rural farmers, saying that this place was called "Kaocheng", but it was hard to tell where it was located in the Central Plains.

At this time, the transportation is inconvenient, and local farmers in the hometown may never go around the nearby villages in their entire lives, so they don’t know much about these mountains and rivers.

Zhang Xiaofan thought for a while, and seemed to have never heard of a place called "Kaocheng". Needless to say, Diandian was the first time he had left Tongguan after growing up so old. He looked dark and didn't know anything.

The three of them walked along the official road to the city. Along the way, they even saw some people on the side of the road with their hair shaved and dressed in Jianlu costumes and chatted with the Han people.

I was even more confused and didn't know where this "Kaocheng" was governed.

While walking, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly stopped and pointed with his finger. Ma Xier looked in the direction of Zhang Xiaofan's finger and it turned out to be a restaurant on the side of the road. It was quite large in size and extraordinary in momentum. It was written with the three big words "Jianglang Tower". It seemed that it was probably one of the best restaurants in the local area.

Ma Xier's eyes lit up. She knew that such a friend in a big restaurant usually had a wide range of social relationships. She would definitely find out when she asked him.

Moreover, the three of them had been struggling for such a night, and they were almost noon and they were hungry. They should really find a place to fill their stomachs. So the three of them came to this "Jianglang Tower".

It was the meal time, so there should be many people in the restaurant to eat. But at this time, there was no one in the lobby and the guy was napping on the table.

In restaurants like this, the first floor are individual guests in the lobby, and the second floor is the private room in the elegant room. Although there are no guests in the lobby, Zhang Xiaofan also condescends to eat in the lobby. He also cares about others and goes straight to the second floor.

When Ma Xier passed by the guy's table, she patted the guy gently, pointed to the upstairs with her fingers, and then went up the second floor with Diandian.

The guy woke up at this time. Looking at the clothes of these people, it was obvious that they were either rich or noble. Especially the handsome young man walking behind his head, he was even more noble. He didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly turned around and went to the cabinet to get the food order, and trotted upstairs to serve him.

The upper floor is very wide. Although there is no separate private room, it is covered with a few elegant small screens.

The three of them found a seat by the window and sat down. The guy first put on the towel board and tea. He then took out the food order and asked the three of them to order food.

Ma Xier came out in the middle of the night to secretly find out the movements of the heroes. Her pockets were filled with fragments of various people from the world, such as flying claws, fire notes, incense and drug, and roadstones. These things can be said to be complete, but they only did not bring silver.

I picked up the food order and found that although the restaurant was deserted, the prices of the dishes were not cheap. I hesitated and thought about it repeatedly.

Seeing that Ma Xier had a hard time ordering, Zhang Xiaofan took the food order. He picked up expensive items in each category and chose more than a dozen dishes in total.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan was so bold that he became stronger, Ma Xier asked for another jar of good wine.

The guy didn't expect that the three of them had ordered such a table of banquets, and they immediately smiled. They yelled and reported the name of the dishes, and were about to turn around and go downstairs to arrange it, but Ma Xier reached out to stop him and said:

"Man, we've gone a step further. I wonder what state capital is here?"

The guy smiled and said, "I thought you came to the small trumpet to eat lake food, but I didn't expect that they would go a step further. Then I tell you all, you are here."

"This place is called 'Kaocheng', which is considered to be the boundary of Henan. There are Qiushui and Longze Lakes nearby. The lake is rich in various lakes, especially silverfish. It is not only delicious, but also has the ability to awaken the mind and open up wisdom."

"When you are downstairs, you can see the name of this number 'Jianglang Tower'? This Jianglang is not the name of our shopkeeper, but the Jianglang in the sentence 'Jianglang'.

"This Jianglang's real name is Jiang Yan. When he was a child, he opened his spiritual orifice because he often ate silverfish from his mansion. He wrote as if he had a magical pen."

"It's a pity that his official position became bigger and bigger and left the local area. He couldn't eat the silverfish here, and his intelligence gradually dried up, so he left behind the old saying "There is no end to Jiang Lang's talent."

"Of course, this is all legend. As for what this silverfish is like, you will know after you taste the skills of our store. It is hard to say whether you can be a little smart, but you can even drink this fish soup cleanly."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said to himself: "I didn't expect that such a small town would leave an idiom. It can be regarded as a beautiful story."

After hearing what the guy said, Diandian suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Ma, didn't you say you are from Henan? It turned out that we had been away from Henan for a whole night."

Ma Xier didn't expect that she was still in Henan, so she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Although he is from Henan, he may not be clear about everything, so she continued to ask the guy:

"I remember there are no Jianlu in Henan now, but I really saw many people who have already shaved their heads on this road. Where is the jurisdiction of this "Kaocheng" now?"

Hearing this, the guy sighed and said, "If you want to ask this question, I really can't answer. Strictly speaking, it should be the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

"In recent years, the ground in Henan has been in chaos. Now, to the west is Yuan Zongdi's Dashun Army, and to the east is Gao Jie's Ming Army. There is also Liu Hongqi in the south. Li Jiyu, a mountain king who is not an official or a bandit, is simply a mess."

"When you came, did you see the river in the north? That river is the Huai River, and after crossing the Huai River, it is Shandong. Now the ground in Shandong is as you said, as the world of Jianlu. It is said that a prince of Haoge has led many tens of thousands of troops and is stationed on the other side of the river."

"When our general Xu Dingguo saw that the Qing army was powerful, he did not dare to garrison the river. He retreated his troops for dozens of miles and went to Suizhou. He left this 'Kaocheng' and left it alone. Now this place has become a place where three people do not care."

"When you came here, didn't you see someone shaved his head? That was last year. The Qing army was in great power and was about to attack the Huai River. Some of the active bastards here shaved their heads in advance."

"But they never expected that the Qing army they were looking forward to not only did not cross the river, but even the shaving order was cancelled. These people betrayed their ancestors for nothing. You said this is ridiculous."

Ma Xier nodded and roughly understood her location. It turned out that they were at the Sanno-door place on the junction of Henan and Shandong. After crossing the river, they would be Jianlu's territory.

The guy here continued:

"Anyway, we ordinary people can't control this national event. It turns out that our 'Jianglang Tower' is a famous restaurant nearby. It's almost the same if you don't say that the market is everywhere every day. It's just that the Jianlu soldiers are approaching, and the rich people have gone to the south, and their business is getting worse and worse."

"But I heard recently that the court is going to negotiate with Jianlu, and in the future, either the Yellow River or the Huai River. When the peace comes, it will be easier."

Ma Xier shook her head and said, "I hear another saying that the Ming Dynasty and Jianlu will eventually use the Yangtze River as the boundary."

The guy was stunned and said, "How is that possible? Have you heard of the four towns in Jiangbei? If you want to cede the north of the Yangtze River, it will not be called the four towns in Jiangbei. Instead, it will be called the four towns in Jiangnan."

"You may be a foreigner, and I don't know how powerful we are in the four towns in Jiangbei. Li Zicheng from the Dashun Army is, he is almost a figure in Longting. Our general, Gao Ye, not only slept with his wife, but also beat him up and urinated, and he still doesn't dare to come..."

Before the guy could finish his sentence, Ma Xier slapped the table heavily and said, "Okay, I'm talking nonsense, and I didn't ask you about these things. We are all hungry, so hurry up and urge you to go and don't be too late with us here."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan realized it in his heart. The full name of Gao Ye in this guy is Gao Jie. He is indeed the number one figure in this history in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

This man not only blatantly abducted Li Zicheng's wife, but later he also fought with Li Zicheng many times. Although he couldn't beat Li Zicheng to the point of urination as this guy said, it was also considered a win or defeat for each other.

Li Zicheng always had no choice but to deal with Gao Jie. This matter can be said to be known to everyone in the Dashun army, but it is also the biggest taboo.

This guy didn't know that Ma Xier was from the Dashun Army and had no restraint. No wonder Ma Xier didn't let the guy continue talking.

"Hey, why did you turn your back on me? It's not what I took the initiative to say..." The guy shook his head, not daring to offend his customer, but just muttered quietly, turned around and went downstairs to urge him to eat.

Perhaps because there were no meals, the dish served very quickly. After a while, the cups and plates were arranged and a table was filled.

Not only Ma Xier and Diandian, but also Zhang Xiaofan's physical strength trough was empty. So these people were not polite and took off their chopsticks and picked up food together.

Although the name of Jianglang Tower is strange, the dish is really good. Diandian's eyes are lit up, and Ma Xier nodded frequently. Even Zhang Xiaofan's physical strength trough recovered very quickly.

In a short while, the table of banquets was eaten to the bottom of the plate. The three of them were satisfied and were about to check out. When they heard the footsteps of the stairs, a Taoist with a long face and a sharp mouth walked up.

The Taoist man had a tuft of black hair on each cheek, he was wearing a black Taoist robe, an iron whip behind him, and a large red gourd hanging around his waist.

Ma Xier and Diandian took a look, but didn't care.

But Zhang Xiaofan clearly saw that the Taoist man had a player's nickname on his head, and the words "Military Advisor" were clearly written on it.

Zhang Xiaofan was surprised in his heart that he didn't know how far this place is from Tongguan City. Why do he see players here? It's simply incredible, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After seeing the Taoist sitting down, he shouted, "Where is the waiter... haven't you seen anyone going upstairs?"

Zhang Xiaofan was even more shocked when the Taoist said this. You must know that all players do not have the function of voice interaction. So far, he still has to gesture with his hands when communicating with NPC. Why can this person speak in voice?

So he chatted privately: "Hey, how can you talk?"

This Taoist is Bai Quanyi's cousin Kong Ming. He actually had something else to do when he came to this restaurant. When he came up, he didn't notice that there was a table of people beside the window because there was a screen blocking it.

When Zhang Xiaofan was chatting with him privately, he saw Zhang Xiaofan on the table next to him.

Even though he is not familiar with others, Kong Ming has been famous for this Xiaofan for a long time. After being opened for so long, he has more than half of the game revenue, but it is all contributed by this financial supporter's father.
