Ling Tian met Qin Mingyue, Zhang Kaifeng and others at the north gate of Yunzhou City, and together they mobilized their mounts and headed north.
They also brought Yunzhou with them, but they still wanted to enjoy the scenery of the lakes and mountains along the way, so they used their mounts to travel most of the time.
In fact, as the center of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhongzhou was not the largest in area, but it bordered the eight states. This meant that the closer you were to Zhongzhou all the way north from Yunzhou, the closer you were to the east and west Yang and Yong states.
Moreover, Zhongzhou is surrounded by a water system in all directions. Anyone who wants to enter Zhongzhou must cross this water system. And this water system is called the Weak Water River.
Of course, Ling Tian was slightly surprised after learning the name of this water system.
Of course he is not unfamiliar with the name of Weak Shui.
On Earth, there are legends about this weak water.
Fenglin Island is located in the center of the West Sea, with an area of 1,500 miles away. There are weak waters surrounding the island on all sides, and it cannot be crossed without being able to float.
The ancient weak water also surrounded the land on all sides, but it was Fenglinzhou, and its radius was only more than a thousand miles. It was not the same place as the Zhongzhou mentioned in this world.
The weak water here is not that a feather does not float, but that there is a forbidden air restriction on it. No one or Yunzhou can cross the weak water and can only sail on the water.
Moreover, this weak water is also called bad water. It is full of ferocious beasts in the water, and ordinary ships cannot pass it safely.
The waterway ships leading to Zhongzhou from various states are also specially made. Although they are not fast and cannot fly, they are extremely strong. They are controlled by the princes of each state. All warriors and business travelers who want to go to Zhongzhou naturally have to do so.
Through the Hou Mansion.
After Ling Tian and others traveled north for a month, they finally arrived near the Ruoshui River in Yunzhou.
However, when everyone arrived at Wangbei City on the bank of Ruoshui River, they did not see the scene that was supposed to be busy with traffic.
On the official road, there were only scattered warriors coming and going, and more of them flew eastward after leaving the city.

"Brother Tian, there's a little trouble..."
Qin Shaoyang and Zhang Kaifeng, who had gone to see Beicheng to rent a boat first, returned in a hurry.
"What trouble?" Ling Tian frowned.
Qin Shaoyang pursed his lips, "I clearly remember that today is the day for weak water to pass, but I just asked about it and found out that Yunhou Mansion has advanced the day for passing the weak water by three days, and now the river has been closed..."
"Seal the river? How many days will it be closed?"
"Half a month..."
"Half a month? Are you kidding me? How many people will be blocked from going to Zhongzhou in half a month?" Ye Fan frowned, "It was sealed three days ago. His Yunhou Mansion was sealed in time!"
"This will cause trouble for us, Yunhou Mansion is so powerful!" Ji Wuyan said angrily.
"I'm afraid they won't make it. The Ruoshui River is so long, and he says we can't cross it even if we block it? Let's find a boat to cross by ourselves!" Mu Tie said with courage.
"No, that's not a wise move. After all, the Yunhou Mansion guarding the Ruoshui River represents the royal court. It would be a serious crime for us to trespass into Zhongzhou without permission. If we do that, we will fall into their trap."
Qin Mingyue shook his head.
Everyone frowned, "What should we do?"
Qin Mingyue smiled and said: "Haha, it's not just Yunzhou that has the right of passage. It's not far from the nearest port in Yangzhou. We can just cross the river from there."
"In that case, let's get on the road quickly." Ling Tian also agreed.
So, the group of people galloped along the weak water towards Yangzhouquan in the east.
It wasn't too far away at all, so on the next day, everyone arrived at Linjiang City in Yangzhou on the bank of Ruoshui River.
Linjiang City is more prosperous than Wangbei City.
As a large state on the edge of the East China Sea, one of the four seas, Yangzhou is stronger than Yunzhou in terms of martial arts heritage and commercial development.
It can be seen from the small scale of such a weak river.
And this also makes many Yangzhou warriors look down on Yunzhou warriors, and this has been going on for a long time.
There are so many warriors in Linjiang City, and although there are not many golden warriors, they are not a few either. There are even occasional Dharma auras, and Ling Tian is vaguely aware that there are a few of them.
But this city did not attract them in the slightest. They stepped into the city and headed straight to the dock.
Although Linjiang City has no spiritual veins, the existence of the Ruoshui River Ferry has attracted many sects to gather in the surrounding area. After all, there are many warriors coming and going, and the more business they have, the more income they can earn, which is enough to ensure an ordinary and medium-sized income.
Used by the sect.
The ferry terminal is controlled by the Yanghou Mansion, and most of the surrounding shops are the property of the Yanghou Mansion.
The ferocious beasts in the Weishui River must be escorted by a fleet led by a general from the Yanghou Mansion every time in order to avoid accidents in the fleet.
The ferry terminal is right by the river. In front of it is a huge square, which covers a huge area and is dozens of miles in radius. There are soldiers from the Yanghou Mansion maintaining order.
On both sides of the river are the warships of the Hou Mansion. On the flagship of the warship, there is the aura of the Dharma Realm permeating the air. That is the general of the escort fleet.
The warriors waiting to cross the river in the square all restrained themselves and lowered their voices even when talking to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
They all lined up at the shop next to the pier to rent boats specially designed for crossing the river. Depending on the number of people, the rented boats were of different sizes, but the rents were all expensive, and the bigger the boats, the safer they were, so there were many casual warriors.
Most of them are purchased in groups, which is not only cheaper, but also safer.
Ling Tian and others queued up outside the shop where the warships were rented. At this time, there were nearly a thousand warriors lined up in front of them, and it seemed that most of them were business travelers.
They were not all high in cultivation, most of them were Yangzhou warriors, and they did not recognize the markings on their clothes.
But these have nothing to do with Ling Tian and others.
Calmly and calmly, everyone gathered their minds and the team moved forward slowly.
About half an hour later, it was the turn of the group of warriors in front to rent the boat. They looked happy, and they and a group of fellow travelers behind them, young and old, came forward and were about to pay the rent to rent the boat.
But at this moment, there was a sneer coming from afar, echoing endlessly here.
"Shopkeeper Chen, get us some boats first, we are in a hurry."
"Be quick, the boss is anxious to let us pass!"
His voice was hoarse and somewhat arrogant, but before he could finish, young ladies in fine clothes squeezed through the group of people and stood at the front.
The person who spoke, judging from his aura, was an early-stage golden body master. He was not very old. Behind him, there were also a group of men and women, all of whom were from the Chinese ethnic group in brocade and had a good temperament.
"Hey, it turns out to be Little General Helanshan. There are only a few ships left in our store today, and they are all given to you."
When the shopkeeper saw this, he swept away the ships on the counter and handed them to the man.
"This friend, we were here first..."
The elder of the group of people who were originally queuing up saw his face suddenly darkened and said.
All the boats have been bought, what should they do?
"Who are you? So what if you came first?"
Unexpectedly, when the people who jumped in line heard this, their expressions turned sideways and they looked around, showing their arrogance.
