Chapter 83 Dingxi Qianlong

Two days later, Luanjiao Gorge was successfully passed, and the rest of the journey was smooth, and there were no more dangers in the entire Longfeng County area.

A new group of people came and went on the dragon boat, and the news about the imperial court's suppression of the Jiao rebellion also spread.

Zhou Bai's character is praised by others, but this is just a casual chat after dinner.

Throughout Dingzhou, articles praising the governor and the imperial court became a hit. Who said that the imperial court did not care about the sufferings of the people? Who said that the imperial court's fortune had declined.

More than 10,000 passengers and a dozen dragon boats were saved because of the imperial court's foresight. Moreover, after suppressing the flood dragon riot, the people near the Ningjiang section of Longfeng County will definitely live a comfortable life.

Entering Dingzhou County, the Dingjiang River becomes wider and wider, and the river surface and both sides of the river are also prosperous visible to the naked eye.

There are countless merchant ships of all sizes, and boats are stopping and taking off at the ferry crossings all the time. Merchants in gorgeous and vulgar clothes are giving orders, and the laborers carrying the goods are going back and forth as if they are tireless.

This prosperity has always been supported by all kinds of people. Here they are all part of the port, and nothing can be done without anyone.

The dragon boat docked as usual, and dozens of U-Peng boats seemed to have seen the treasure and surrounded it. However, they were not there to pick up the passengers, but there were really fish in the dragon boat.

There are hundreds of species of fish living in the Ningjiang River, many of which like to follow boats. They may not be as valuable as bass, but they are still fish that fishermen can catch on a regular basis.

After each boat had collected a net of fish, other boats picking up and dropping off guests followed. There was a tacit understanding between the two parties. The fishing boats moved out of the water and no longer surrounded the dragon boat.

More and more people are disembarking in Dingzhou County, because the official roads in Dingzhou County are very easy to walk, and going to Zhoucheng is not necessarily slower than the waterway.

The Taoist officer and Yushi Peng Li also disembarked here. The Taoist officer received a temporary summons and needed to handle an official matter. Peng Li also had to start his inspection tour of Dingzhou County at the ferry.

Zhou Bai stood at the bow of the ship and watched the two of them leave. Then there was no deterrent personal power left on the ship.

But it shouldn't be necessary. Dingzhou County is a county directly under the jurisdiction of the state capital. Its prosperity and safety rank first in the state, and no one dares to mess around in this area.

However, Zhou Bai never expected that there would be a lot of trouble among the passengers who came up. From the perspective of his sporadic spiritual consciousness, at least six or seven people were secretly observing him.

His hands are calloused, and he has a habit of pressing the knife. His eyes contain a sparkle, and the first thing he looks at is the neck, lumbar spine, etc. He is obviously either a professional killer or a ruthless person who survived the battlefield.

Yao Ping, who was standing next to Zhou Bai and pretending to look at the scenery, his face darkened, and he said casually: "Sir, I noticed that these people have great malice. Why don't you get off the boat first to avoid it?"

This is why Yao An believes in his words so much, not only because of his trust in his brother, but also because of the ability that Yao Ping has shown since he was a child.

Yao Ping can vaguely detect the good and evil in a person, especially when it comes to them and the people around them. Now that the fate of life and death has been awakened, the scope of special induction is even wider.

Zhou Bai nodded slightly, but did not agree to disembark. Not to mention that there were well-trained boat guards on the dragon boat, he said that if he got off now, he would inevitably fall into a trap.

Doing it on the ship, in a matter of seconds, the Divine Soul Evolution Technique is not something that a few mortals can do.

In the special terrain outside, Zhou Bai had no cultivation magic power, so he might really be ambushed and killed, such as being covered by arrows from a certain distance, or using a sea of ​​​​people tactics to kill him.

"Take Yao An off the boat and meet in Zhoucheng." Zhou Bai paced back and forth and told Yao Ping as he passed by.

He has the ability to protect himself, but he doesn't want the two younger brothers he just took in to be implicated. It's rare to have subordinates who are worthy of training.

Because of the grace of saving his life and the bass, Yao Ping and Yao An now obeyed his advice. They knew that noble people are rare, and it is even rarer to be willing to carry them.

Just as the two were getting off the boat, they missed an aristocratic young man, which made Yao Ping feel alert and confused.

What was confusing was that this noble young master was destined to be involved with their brothers, but at this time the dragon boat had already sounded the sailing horn. After thinking about it, Yao Ping reminded Zhou Bai to pay attention to the person coming. After all, this man was the one who had been very kind to them.

man of.

Zhou Bai waved his hand casually. He could see at the first glance that this person was not simple. He actually wanted to activate the qi-gazing technique on his own to observe his popularity and destiny.

If Zhou Bai knew that Yao Ping thought he was a noble person, Zhou Bai would now tell him what a real "noble person" is.

This noble man seemed to be enveloped by a lake of clouds. The almost solid red and yellow clouds were enveloping him with white luck, and the basic luck was as thick as earth. Obviously, these external luck were not floating luck.

Looking at his natal life again, there are actually green birds above his head. These green energy are swirling around, and finally form a canopy to cover the lonely natal life.

Is this life a green life? No, more than that, that life seems to have a trace of purple energy?

However, before he could see it clearly, a short, snake-like "creature" sprang out from the cloud lake and roared in this direction. Zhou Bai's eyes suddenly hurt, and the qi-gazing technique could no longer continue.

Not only is such a precious life unsafe to be invaded by the aura of disaster, but even the prying eyes on one's luck will be counterattacked.

Feeling that some of his good luck had been cut off, Zhou Bai felt a little inexplicable. This was probably because he was born noble.

However, this noble species should not be simple. Others don't know what the cloud snake is, but he knows clearly about the inheritance of Wangqi.

Although the Luck Dragon Elephant is still just a Snake Elephant, it has already begun to take shape and can go further once it gathers momentum.

Since the True Dragon of Humanity is still in power, this person must have different aspirations in his heart, and he is probably a hidden dragon of destiny.

Zhou Bai wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and saw the aristocratic young man walking towards him, with a tall and straight figure and a face like a crown jewel, followed by an old servant.

Of course, this servant is not simple either. His mana fluctuations are almost invisible, and he is even stronger than the dragon-killing Taoist official.

If Zhou Bai's soul hadn't been so clear, it would have been even more strange that such a noble man went on the road without bodyguards.

"Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need help?" His voice was clear and refreshing, making it difficult for anyone to feel malicious.

This was a luck warning that made him notice something strange, so he came to test Zhou Bai.

"Thank you for your concern, dear friend. I'm just about to arrive in Dingzhou City, so I can't express my feelings. By the way, Xiaosheng is a candidate for the exam this autumn." Zhou Bai looked a little surprised and explained quickly.

He seems to be surprised as to why someone is so kind-hearted and cares about a stranger. He is not a beautiful woman.

"Disrespectful, disrespectful. It turns out that I am a future son. May I ask your name? I am Lu Ding from Yingtai County." After hearing the explanation, Lu Ding's eyebrows were a little confused, but he still asked with some worry.

"It turns out to be Brother Lu. My name is Zhou Bai, from Bei'an." Zhou Bai cupped his fists in greeting and did not hide his identity.

Yingtai County is one of the four counties in the west of Dingzhou, which is to the west of Ningjiang River. I didn't expect to go to the east ferry to take a boat.

Combining Lu Ding's luck, Zhou Bai also roughly knew his origins. There were several families with the surname Lu in Dingzhou, but only the Lu family from Yingtai County had made great achievements in their previous lives.

His family is usually quite low-key, and its reputation is not obvious, but its heritage is extremely profound. It has been passed down from three dynasties to the present, and once it became popular, it swept the four counties of Dingxi.

The Marquis of Lu in the previous life was also named Lu Ding. People at the time believed that Lu's father named him Ding because he had already planned to seize Dingzhou and make it the foundation of the king's hegemony.

"Zhou Bai? Could it be that Zhou Bai from Bei'an? It's a pleasure to meet you." Only then did Lu Ding completely eliminate the doubts in his heart.

If he is indeed the leader of Bei'an, he cannot be a person with great cultivation. How could such a talented person with a bright future destroy his own Taoist foundation?

There is a huge difference in the progress of cultivation between those who enter the Tao before being registered in the Heavenly Register and those who enter the Tao after being registered in the Heavenly Register.

It's just that he was still a little disappointed. The two country boys who just left Zhou Bai should not be simple.

"Brother Lu should be from the Lu clan. Are you coming to take part in the provincial examination this time?"

Zhou Bai didn't think it was because he was famous, but after all, the chief executive of a county, a Qianlong like Lu Ding who was aspiring to a great cause, would definitely hear about it.

Lü Ding looked regretful and said, as if he was quite envious: "I can't compare with Zhou Yushou. Lv's talent is dull, but he has long despaired of the imperial examination. So now I can only focus on the mountains and rivers."

You are the only one who believes in me. I am a son of an aristocratic family whose poems and etiquette are passed down to my family, and I am very lucky. Why don’t I want to take the imperial examination?

Zhou Bai guessed that the two generations of senior officials of the Lu family saw that the Great Sun was declining, and also knew that Qianlong's destiny was assigned to Lu Ding, so they did not dare to allow him to take the imperial examination, for fear that his luck would be implicated and the court would notice something unusual.

The Heavenly Court above encourages the change of dynasties, but it does not mean that the humane dynasties in this world will not suppress those who have dissent with iron blood.

Then the two of them had their own secrets, and they started talking all over the place. You wanted to recruit, and I wanted to find out more details.

After a few days, both sides admired each other. How come this guy can catch everything? This guy is not simple.

It seems that the killer lurking on the ship has long been forgotten by Zhou Bai.

On the seventh day of July, the dragon boat arrived at Jixi Port, and the half-month-long waterway finally came to an end.

Despite its crude name, the port closest to Dingzhou City is Jixi Port. It is said that there used to be roosters crowing here, which could be heard in Dingxi.

Anyone who takes the waterway to Dingzhou usually disembarks at this river port.

This time, it was someone else who had to say goodbye to Zhou Bai.

"Brother Lu isn't going to Zhoucheng?"

"I want to go to Tianjiang to take a look first. It should be the time when the results of the provincial examination are released. By then Zhou Yushou should be renamed Mr. Zhou?"

"Hahaha, to borrow Brother Lu's auspicious words, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and we will meet again one day." Since he knew that this was Dingxi Qianlong, he certainly would not show hostility in advance. After the last scene, he said goodbye and disembarked.

However, Zhou Bai was grabbed by Lu Ding, and the old servant who had been following him moved to the side to block the prying eyes in the dark.

"Brother Yu, Brother Ma, you go to Zhoucheng first, and we'll talk about it later in the essay meeting before the exam." Zhou Bai motioned to Yu Ji and Ma Liang, who were waiting on the side, to go first.

Fortunately, Yu Ji just cupped his hands to express his understanding, while Ma Liang curled his lips. After coming from Lu Ding in the past few days, he even spent less time drinking with them.

When the two got off the boat and left, Lu Ding was about to speak seriously. At first, Zhou Bai almost thought that he had discovered that he also had the Qianlong destiny and wanted to take action in advance.

Because Zhou Bai had had such thoughts more than once in the past few days, but in the end he was still worried about the trump card of the family son. The incident when Hu Yanhe used his mortal body to get rid of the black-robed shaman was still fresh in his mind.
