Chapter 85 Painting Boat Flute and Drums and Singing
After bidding farewell to He Shiba and the other three, Han Yun hurriedly drove towards the south so that the three men would not be able to catch up.
After leaving the boundary of Changshan, Han Yun took the official road along the way, but he specifically avoided the city, so as to avoid trouble to the greatest extent.
Along the way, he neither ate nor drank, but occasionally stopped to find a farmer to buy some meat to feed the Pegasus.
Tianma was very curious about the fact that he didn't eat. He was afraid that this guy would kill him and eat him, so he was very calm along the way.
Finally, ten days later, Han Yun left the Yanchuan boundary and arrived at the Luochuan boundary.
Han Yun passed Muye Lake in the afternoon and walked dozens of miles further. By the time he arrived at Luohe, it was already late at night.
Luohe is the largest river in Luochuan, and it is also the origin of the name Luochuan.
It is said that there is a goddess named Luo Mi in Luohe.
The image of the Goddess of Luo is very beautiful. Its shape is as graceful as a startling giant, graceful as a swimming dragon, its cloud bun is high in the sky, and its white teeth are fresh inside.
Across the Luo River is Luodu, the capital of the entire Dachuan Dynasty. This is the power, culture, economy, and military center of the entire Dachuan Dynasty.
Han Yun drove his horse to the dock. The Luo River was so wide that it was impossible to build a bridge. The only way to travel between the two sides was by boat.
On weekdays, there are often cargo ships and passenger ships plying between the two sides of the strait, and the boatmen make a living in this way.
But today, there was not a single boat at the pier.
On the surface of the Luo River, there was an endless stream of large and small boats. Each of these boats was lit up with lights, and there was constant laughter and laughter inside.
There are many lanterns floating on the water on both sides of the bank.
Han Yun was thinking about how to cross the river when a small boat rowed over not far ahead.
"Sir, do you want to cross the river?"
On the boat, a boatman wearing a raincoat rowed the oar and shouted.
"right."
Han Yun replied.
"Hey, here it comes."
The boatman rowed the boat to the edge of the pier, docked it securely, and supported the boat with his feet.
"Can you take me to the other side of the river?"
Han Yun led the horse to the dock.
"Sir, my little boat can't cross this big river. The river is very fast, so it's not that a big boat can't cross it. Moreover, the river today is full of big boats of dignitaries. My little boat doesn't dare to cross among other people's houses."
"Then why can't you cross the river for me?"
Han Yun was quite speechless.
"Don't worry, sir. I can take you to a big ship. That big ship is the merchant ship of Baihualou. There is a performance today. It is nearby now. We will return to the other side at midnight. You only need to go up and buy a glass of flower wine.
Then you can go there by boat."
"Is that so? Why are there so many boats on the river today?"
"My guest, you don't know? Normally, there are many restaurants and big boats on the river entertaining guests and performing songs and dances, but today is the Luoshen Festival, and we have to worship the Luoshen.
Therefore, the Luo River is particularly prosperous today. Almost all the restaurants in Luodu City have launched large ships. The wealthy households have also chartered cargo ships and renovated them. They come to swim on the river, light lanterns and make wishes. Sir, you are here today.
This is an annual event.”
So lively?
Han Yun hates bustling the most. Bustling means there are many people, and many people mean trouble.
He thought about whether to take a detour and fly over, but at this time the Luo River was full of boats, fireworks were set off everywhere, the sky was lit up, and it was not far from Luo. There must be many masters in the capital, and he had many
Most likely it will be discovered.
After thinking about it, I decided to go there by boat.
"Then please take me across the river. Can my horse get on the big boat?"
"Yes, money can make all the difference. As long as the money is enough, you can lead the pig up there."
Tianma:???
"All right."
Han Yun got on the boat and gave the boatman a tael of silver. This made the boatman very happy. He usually couldn't make a tael for ferrying people across the boat.
The boatman carried Han Yun and Tianma towards a large ship. On the way, the boatman kept telling Han Yun the mythical stories of Luohe.
Soon, they arrived next to a large ship. This ship was huge, three stories high. In Han Yun's opinion, it was comparable to the large yachts in previous lives.
When he arrived two meters away from the big ship, Han Yun jumped up and landed firmly on the big ship. Pegasus also jumped up.
Seeing this scene, the boatman was stunned and shouted, "Master."
The waiter on the big ship greeted him enthusiastically, and Han Yun asked him to lead Tianma to one side of the deck, while he entered the cabin of the big ship.
Inside the cabin, there is a large wine table and a stage, surrounded by boxes. The stage in the middle can also be seen from the second and third floors. It is very lively inside.
Han Yun chose a remote private room and asked the waiter to serve wine and food.
From his position, he could just see the stage. At this time, there were graceful dancers on the stage, the pianist was playing music, and there was a woman in the middle who was singing, her voice was beautiful and moving.
"A man later crossed the south of the Yangtze River, feeling melancholy in the misty rain.
Hearing the awning shaking slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Painted boats whistle and drums sing, some of the songs are heart-breaking.
Whose house has plum blossoms on its wall, it is fragrant.
A firework in the world, you once bloomed...
…”
This is a sad song, and Luo Shen is also a woman with a sad love story. It is appropriate to sing this song at this time. Han Yun is listening to the song while drinking wine, which is quite happy.
This box is semi-open and the walls are hollow. Sitting here, he can also see the scene in the box next door.
Sitting in the main seat of the box next door was a young man. He was wearing a rich costume and a brocade robe. He was thin and looked like he had been hollowed out by wine and sex.
Next to him, two old men sat. The two remained calm, just drinking wine from their glasses and observing their surroundings with vigilant eyes.
On the other hand, the vain young man was relaxed and contented, minding his own business and admiring the dancing posture of the beautiful lady on the stage.
The two old men were both at the fourth level, and what surprised Han Yun was that Mr. Xu Fu was also at the fifth level.
After a while, a man dressed as a young boy came in, came to the side of Mr. Xu Fu, and whispered,
"Master Six, people are here."
Hearing this, the young man sat up straight, and the frivolity in his eyes immediately disappeared, replaced by a radiant light.
"Are you sure? Can you see clearly?"
"Look clearly, it's Liu Shilang of the Ministry of War, and the person meeting him is a strong man from the demon clan."
"Okay, let's go down and collect the reward. As expected, this Liu Shilang colluded with the demon clan. We caught him this time and got into the act, eating the shit out of him!"
There was hatred in Master Liu's eyes, while an old man next to him said with a smile,
"Congratulations to the Sixth Master. Once Liu Shilang and the demon spies are caught, you can go to the Holy One to claim credit. The Holy One will definitely change your mind this time."
Hearing this, Mr. Liu's expression became a little dissatisfied and disdainful.
"Why did I ask for credit from him? I caught spies just for the sake of the people of Dachuan and for the peace of the world. What does it have to do with that old guy? I didn't do it to show him."
