Chapter 646: Entering the Imperial Capital
The snow was drifting in the sky. The towering mountains on both sides of the river were white and white. The vast land, the trees withered and bleak, but it was faintly vague. Through the countless bare groves, you could see the dangerous winding mountain roads on both sides of the river, carriages and horses and pedestrians walking in the snow with difficulty. The direction was the opposite of Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang stood at the bow of the boat, squinted his eyes and looked at the river channel in front and the scene on both sides. Floating snowflakes fell on his shoulders and the hat on his head. In a short while, a layer of white snow was exhausted...
"It's so difficult to go north to Taihang Mountain!
The sheep intestines bent and the wheels were destroyed.
The trees are so bleak, and the sound of the north wind is so sad.
The bear squatted at me, and the tiger and leopard cried along the way.
There are few people in the valley, how can the snow fall?
I sighed with a long sigh, and I thought of traveling far away.
I am so depressed that I want to return home.
The water is deep and the bridge is lingering.
Be confused and lost the old road, and never stayed in the evening.
As time goes by, people and horses are hungry at the same time.
Carry a bag and get a firewood, hold the axe and ice to make it into crumble.
I am sad about the poems on the East Mountain, and I am sad.”
This scene made Yan Liqiang unable to help but whisper Cao Cao's "Red and Cold" at the bow of the boat...
"Hahaha, brothers are so excited. At this time, you can still recite poems and lyrics at the bow of the boat..." A heroic laughter came from behind, and then the creaking sound of the bow deck being stepped on by heavy pressure came over. Yan Liqiang turned around and saw a burly man with a beard on his face and a height of about two meters, strode towards him.
"Why, Brother An is out to get some breath..." Yan Liqiang smiled and greeted the big man.
This big man is called An Shidao, and he is an escort leader. Two days ago, An Shidao took a few escorts to escort some cargo and Yan Liqiang onto the big ship. The two lived next to the cabin. They looked down on the boat and saw him. Naturally, they became familiar with him. An Shidao is a typical person who walks around the world. He is generous, generous and shrewd and old, and is one of the few people on this boat who can even talk to Yan Liqiang. Although Yan Liqiang is dressed in plain clothes, with An Shidao's eyes and experience, it can be seen that Yan Liqiang is a transcendent temperament and is not an ordinary person, so he deliberately makes friends.
Yan Liqiang left Ganzhou and went to the Imperial Capital City this time, and was completely alone, without any followers. He was just a person, with a bag and a sword. He was used to the kind of life of being surrounded by people in Qiyun County. This trip to the Imperial Capital, it was much easier for Yan Liqiang, and there was a sense of comfort and ease of traveling alone on a long distance.
Along the way, Yan Liqiang rushed to the road with the peddlers and pawns along the way, and sometimes stayed in the wild, watching the customs and customs along the way, listening to the local customs and celebrating the whole country, walking along the way, old trees and crows, ancient roads and thin horses, big cities and towns, markets and temple fairs, coquettish inn owners and ladies, and also ignorant and fierce bandits and bandits, with different moods, there are scenery along the way, where the west wind blows, the setting sun falls, where the world is far from the sea, where isn't the city block on earth...
Entering into the mortal world and washing your heart, and putting the mud and lotus blooming is the true practice!
Although the experience of the mood along the way was only less than two months, for Yan Liqiang, it was better than in the past few years. This state of mind was perfect. In terms of practice, even if there was no intention to pursue it, it was still rising. People were in the fireworks, and the fireworks of martial arts practice were less and less. Just these days, Yan Liqiang did not touch the bow, but he vaguely felt that the realm of the seventh level of the bow Taoist heaven was piping and there was a tendency to move upward...
"Hahaha, this cabin is stuffy. Although it is windy and snow outside, it is refreshing..." An Shidao laughed and went straight to the bow of the boat, standing with Yan Liqiang, looking at Yan Liqiang with interest, "Brother just said it, he has a unique spirit. I am a rough man. Although I don't understand, I have seen thousands of people. It is the first time that a person with talent like you, you have seen him. I think you are either from a large sect or a wealthy family, and you are definitely not an unknown person. I am afraid you have already become famous. You told the boss of the boat that your surname is Gu, so you should be the pseudonym for your brother to go out!"
Generally speaking, when walking in the world, it is another first encounter. The most taboo thing is to ask about other people's roots. An Shidao did the opposite, but he seemed even more open and generous. Yan Liqiang thought about the snake in his body. He naturally knew whether An Shidao had bad thoughts in his heart. After hearing An Shidao's question, Yan Liqiang smiled, "Brother An is indeed an old world. I can't hide it from it. My surname is Gu, but my surname is Yan. My real name is Yan Liqiang!"
"Haha, I'll just say it. Brother, your surname is Yan, your name is..." At this point, An Shidao suddenly slammed and stopped in an instant. An Shidao's face was originally a smile, but in an instant, he suddenly widened his eyes and grew his mouth. He looked at Yan Liqiang with a look like he saw an alien, and almost stuttered, "Brother... you... you are the supervisor of Qi Yun, our great master of the Han Empire, the prince's bow and Taoist master, Yan who used wool cloth to solve the trap of the Fengyun Army... Lord Yan..."
An Shidao was not pretending, but was really scared by Yan Liqiang's name. He originally thought that Yan Liqiang should not be an unknown person, but he could not have thought that Yan Liqiang was not only an unknown person, but was simply well-known. If many figures in the Han Empire before were not very clear about the meaning of this name, then over the past year, with the popularity of wool cloth in the Han Empire and the huge wealth effect brought by wool textiles and the huge impact it has had in various places, not to mention these escorts who are walking in the rivers and lakes, even ordinary people have heard of the name Yan Liqiang, who has turned wool into treasure...
"I was lucky enough to earn a little fame, which made Brother An laugh..." Yan Liqiang said modestly.
"Oh...Oh...Oh..." An Shidao was excited and rubbed his hands and turned around Yan Liqiang twice. Finally, he held Yan Liqiang's hand, "Brother, if you call it Bo Ming, this Han Empire, who would dare to say that you have a reputation? Brother, you don't know, your wool cloth is out, and the business of escort agencies in various parts of the Han Empire has increased by several%. In the past, the largest goods we protected by our bodyguards were salt. Now, in addition to this salt, we also need another wool cloth. One of my brothers also opened an escort agency. Originally, his escort agency business was not good, and he wanted to close down and find a way out again. I didn't expect it was you
The wool cloth has arrived, and the businesses of escort agencies in various places have suddenly increased. My brother now specializes in escorts from wool cloth from commercial groups in various places. Life is getting better and better. In addition to this wool cloth, the four-wheeled carriages from various escort agencies in the Han Empire are now also made by brothers. This four-wheeled carriage is good, stable and fast, and has a lot of things to pull. The escort agencies in the Han Empire are now relying on the things you invented and tinkered with. Last time, the escort leaders of several of our escort agencies were put on, and everyone said that you are the living Bodhisattva of our escorts. I didn’t expect that this time I would let me see the Taoist real person..."
"I've won the prize, Brother An has won the prize. You rely on your real skills to eat this bowl of rice. It's a fire from the knife through ups and downs. The little thing I've made to do to help Brother An, it's just a coincidence..."
"By the way, brother, you came to the Imperial Capital this time. Could it be that you have something to do?"
"Well, your Majesty summoned me, so I'm here..."
"Brother is so brave!" An Shidao directly gave Yan Liqiang a thumbs up, and then frowned slightly, "But now the land in Jingji is a little messy. I'm going to tell you, my escort is to send it to Huizhou City. After this escort, I won't be planning to go to Jingji again next year. The risk is too great..."
"Oh, too. I heard that the capital is now panic due to the heavenly disaster, and many people are busy fleeing..."
"Even if there is a heavenly disaster, it will be next year. I'm talking about man-made disasters. Brother, don't you know that these days, the White Lotus Sect in the capital has been very fierce. Just a few days ago, the governor of Huizhou and the admiral of the Imperial Capital were assassinated by the White Lotus Sect, and their heads were removed and hung on the city wall..."
