Lower the anchor and raise the sail.

Under the control of the boatman, the boat went eastward with the current and soon sailed far away.

This was the first time Chu Tang took a long voyage in this kind of wooden boat. He felt very novel. He walked from the cabin to the deck and saw the vastness of the river and the distant views on both sides of the river.

This is a large ship specially designed to carry people. The cabin is like a small building, which can not only provide shelter from wind and rain, but also has more than a dozen small cabins where people can sleep and rest.

After the boat sailed, everyone's heartstrings relaxed.

Zhuo Lien also gathered everyone in the cabin and told him his plan.

It turned out that after receiving Fang Kai's request for help, Zhuo Lien was arranging manpower while studying the support plan.

He found that if you take the land route, no matter how careful you are and no matter how many people there are, it is not safe. The enemy can ambush and attack you at any time.

In the end, he chose to take the water route.

Unlike the small river in Shixian County, in Liangzhou, the farther north you go, the more and larger the rivers are.

One of the large rivers runs from west to east and is an important water transportation thoroughfare in the southeast of Liangzhou. A section of it passes through Ping County. There are often large and small boats on the water, transporting goods or guests.

Zhuo Lien arranged for a large boat to wait on the river in Ping County, picked up the people, and headed east along the river.

If everything goes well, they will leave Ping County, pass through Shan County within a day or two, and then come to the intersection of Gui County and Rong County. They will change to another waterway from south to north. In another three or four days, they will be able to

Arrive directly at Guijun County.

Because there is a section where you have to go upstream, it takes more time. Overall, it takes about six days to reach your destination, which is half as long as taking the overland route.

But Zhuo Lien still thinks it's worth it, because the rivers of these two rivers are very wide, relatively flat, and have no turbulence. Natural dangers are much less, and man-made impacts are relatively difficult.

They are well prepared. They can eat, drink, and relieve themselves on the ship without having to dock for supplies, which reduces the chance of contact with people and makes them safer.

"The plan is very good. If someone is really bribed, once the boat sails, in such a small space, everyone eats and drinks together, he can't even convey the message, let alone leave any signal on the water." Chu Tang said in his heart.

He affirmed Zhuo Lien's arrangement, but for some reason, he always felt uneasy.

Whenever he saw other boats on the river, Chu Tang's heart rose in his throat, and he was extremely vigilant, fearing that the other boat would approach them.

Fortunately, every time it was a false alarm, it was just some passing ships, either crossing each other forward or backward, or crossing left and right, all separated by a distance of more than ten feet, and there was no chance of contact.

There were no dangers along the way, and in most of the day, they traveled hundreds of miles downstream.

Chu Tang had been on a sea ship before and found it very uncomfortable.

Nowadays, the wooden boat has been replaced, which is lighter and more floating. The river waves are rocking, and the bumps are even more severe, making people feel dizzy and depressed.

Fortunately, they are all martial arts practitioners and have outstanding physical fitness. They can quickly suppress the discomfort and adapt to the rocking of the ship.

Everyone gathered to have dinner, and Zhuo Lien arranged for people to stay on duty overnight, patrolling the entire ship, while others rested earlier.

I don’t know if it was out of trust, but Zhuo Lien only arranged for him to bring his subordinates to stay on night watch. Chu Tang and other agents who joined later, as well as the group of people before Fang Kai, did not have night watch tasks.

Chu Tang ended up clean, but he didn’t have any objections, but some people didn’t look very good-looking.

Soon night fell, and there was another scene of river boats traveling at night.

The boatman Zhuolien hired was very experienced and familiar with the waterways. Even at night, after hanging up the lights, he could operate the boat skillfully and drive smoothly.

It’s just that it’s much slower.

The night wind blew by, and the river flowed loudly. Both sides of the river were dark. Looking around, the water mist was filled with mist. Under the dim moonlight, a thin white light emitted, which looked a bit scary.

Chu Tang and Shi Zhifeng were still arranged in the same small room in the cabin.

The cabin is simple and simple. It is said to have a bed, but it is actually just a wooden board. It is more than half a foot long and only three or four feet wide. It can only accommodate one person lying down, and it is not easy to turn around.

Two wooden boards, one on the left and one on the right, are where the two sleep. There is only a two-foot passage in the middle.

If two people face each other sideways, they might be able to sense each other's breath.

Chu Tang was not used to sharing a room with others like this, and couldn't sleep, so he simply sat on the wooden board, meditating and doing Qigong, adjusting the energy of the spirit to move around the body.

Ever since he truly experienced the magical effect of the Qi of Shenzhao Jing, Chu Tang has been practicing this skill the most recently, and it can even be said that he is obsessed with the practice of this magical skill.

After the Shen Zhao Sutra is completed, it can almost run on its own. After a small week, fatigue can be eliminated. After a big week, all internal and dark injuries will be healed.

Such wonderful exercises are addictive!

Therefore, he changed from his previous practice of relying solely on panel initiations to pass on the exercises, and became diligent, practicing the Shenzhao Sutra day and night.

Although in the panel, the Shenzhao Sutra has been perfected and there is no room for improvement, when he practiced it on his own, he felt that there were still changes.

Especially the combination of Shenzhao Jingzhen Qi and Wedding Dress Shenqi Qi, the wonderful taste of the fusion is even more unforgettable.

Every time you practice for a period of time, the two become more integrated. After accumulating day and night, the two kinds of true energy penetrate more thoroughly as they grow stronger.

Although the two different zhenqi are now only less than ten percent fused, Chu Tang is still looking forward to the scene when they are 100% fused!

He had a premonition that there would be changes beyond what the panel could provide!

Opposite Chu Tang, Shi Zhifeng was lying on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep and was tossing and turning.

But when he saw Chu Tang meditating and heard her long breathing on the opposite side, he didn't dare to disturb her. He could only open his eyes and look at the dark wooden board on top.

More than half an hour later, when he heard Chu Tang's long breath again, Shi Zhifeng perked up, sat up, and spoke: "Chu Tang, how are your water qualities?"

Chu Tang's zhenqi had just been circulating for a week, and before he even opened his eyes, he heard Shi Zhifeng's nonsense words and couldn't help but open his eyes to look at him.

The cabin was dark, with only the dim light coming from the small window, but Chu Tang's sharp eyes captured Shi Zhifeng's uneasiness from his tangled face.

"Old Shi, you asked me what water does?" Chu Tang asked.

"We are now on a boat in a big river. If the water quality is not good, if something happens, we may not be able to escape."

"Are you still worried that our industry is unsafe?"

"Aren't you worried?"

Chu Tang was stunned when he heard this. Yes, isn't he worried?

If you don’t worry, there will be ghosts!

To be honest, on the boat, the body is swaying with the water, and there is no sense of down-to-earth, which makes people feel no sense of security at all.

Sighing, Chu Tang said: "Old Shi, if something happens and you are good at water, just jump into the river and escape. Life is the first priority."

"What about you?"

"I'm good at Qinggong." Chu Tang said leisurely.

Shi Zhifeng: "..."

It’s so embarrassing!

Qinggong is so amazing!

Well, Chu Tang used facts to prove that being good at qinggong is really amazing.

"No matter how good you are at qinggong, you can't fly on water, right?" Shi Zhifeng thought of this.

"Uh... there is always a way. Let's all escape then." Chu Tang could only say this. He couldn't hit Shi Zhifeng anymore and say that he was already in the fifth realm now, so there was generally no need to escape.

Shi Zhifeng hummed and lay down again, silent.

Chu Tang looked at him and felt a little bitter. Why did he feel that the other party had become a burden to him?

If something really happened, could he, Chu Tang, refuse to save him until he died?

"It's so hard for me..." Chu Tang wailed in her heart. It's so hard to be a good person. She really wants to be a bad person!

Good people don’t live long, but bad people live for a thousand years!

However, the panel only recognizes the value of chivalry, and one must do good deeds.

Forcing a policeman to become a hero, this panel is also very embarrassing!

Thoughts abound, nothing to say all night.

When I woke up the next day, it was still boring boating on the river.

At noon, the boat turned around and entered another river channel, from west to east instead of south to north.

In three or four days, they will be able to arrive directly at the dock near the county town.

The next two days also went smoothly.

In addition to the increasingly hard work and fatigue of the boatmen going upstream, the people who had been recuperating for a few days became more energetic and their physical condition reached its peak after adapting to the bumpy life.

Then, something happened to them on the river in Yang County, which is only one county away from the county government!

At this time, the sun was setting and evening was approaching. Originally, the boats on the river should have become increasingly rare. On the contrary, there were more and more boats, no less than ten large and small, and they inadvertently approached the boats of Chu Tang and his party.

There are three large ships blocking the road in front, two medium-sized ships approaching on the left and right, and several small ships approaching slowly behind.
Chapter completed!
