"Is that Linjiang City?" Under the setting sun, Liu Xiu stood on the ox cart and looked out from afar.

The old coachman sitting next to him narrowed his eyes and did not see the so-called Linjiang City at all. However, he responded to Liu Xiu with his past experience and said, "How is it, it's very prosperous and spectacular, right?"

Liu Xiushen nodded in agreement.

In fact, they are still a long way from Linjiang City at this moment, but Liu Xiu has a good vision and can already see the city from afar when standing on the ox cart.

At noon, they set off from Qingliu Town and rushed to the scene. Finally, they arrived here when the sun sets. No accident happened on the way. Instead, they stopped to rest. At that time, the old coachman also shared the dry food he brought to Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu also gave him some monkey wine to drink.

In fact, they didn’t come here so quickly according to the normal route. They just took a shortcut and penetrated some small village roads in the countryside, saving nearly thirty miles!

Liu Xiu was very glad to be with them. If he was alone, he wouldn't know how troublesome it would be if he didn't know the road. You should know that the place under Linjiang City has a population of tens of millions. There are dozens of towns of all sizes and villages, and the roads are complicated when scattered. If you don't pay attention, you will make the wrong mistake.

As the old coachman said, the road from Qingliu Town to Linjiang City is actually very safe. There are bandits who block the road and cut the path, but they do not have the "good luck" to meet.

A safe journey is naturally the greatest wish of everyone who walks far away. After seeing the outline of Linjiang City, everyone in their caravan relaxed their slightly tense hearts.

Linjiang City, as the name suggests, is adjacent to a wide river. From a distance, it looks clear and green, and the water is gentle. Liu Xiu's eyes estimate that this river is probably as wide as three thousand meters!

This big river is called Nutao River. Linjiang City is on the other side of the river, while Liu Xiu and the others are on the other side of the river. If they want to go to Linjiang City, they have to transfer to the boat across the river.

As Liu Xiu saw the raging waves, countless ships traveling from all over the river were bustling and busy.

Linjiang City is surrounded by a tall city wall, which is estimated to be thirty meters high. After all, it is a city with a population of one million. The city wall is almost impossible to see at a glance. The old coachman said that it is spectacular and not exaggerated.

Outside the city wall, near Nutao River, is a bustling pier, where densely packed ships of all sizes enter and exit, circulating the daily needs of Linjiang City and personnel enter and exit.

Of course, Linjiang City has more than this entrance, but the scene on this side alone can be called prosperous.

The city is surrounded by the city walls and is too far apart, so Liu Xiu is not able to see him for the time being.

After looking over there for a moment, as the convoy headed to their dock, Liu Xiu sat down again and asked curiously: "Uncle, isn't that river called Nutao River? Why is the water so smooth?"

"Young man, don't be surprised. It's indeed the Lutao River. The gentleness you see is just this part. No matter whether you go upstream or downstream, you can see the real scene of Lutao River after going upstream or dozens of miles. The water in those places is rushing, and even the Iron Armored Army warships have to be careful to pass through. Ordinary ships just dare not go to those places," the old coachman explained.

Liu Xiu thought to himself that this was the case. It was probably because the water here is smooth and Linjiang City was built here.

The group walked on the afterglow of the sunset to the bustling dock. It was so lively that people came and went, all of whom wanted to cross the raging river to enter the city while it was dark. There were scholars, warriors, caravans, and more were coolie sailors...

After arriving at the dock, the old coachman hesitated for a moment and asked Liu Xiu: "Brother, we have to contact the big ship to prepare for crossing the river. We also have to carry goods. I am afraid it will take a long time to go to the city before dark. If you are busy, you can take a special boat to cross the river. The cost is about ten copper plates. Do you think you want to cross the river with us?"

After hearing this, Liu Xiu thought for a moment and decided to take a boat to cross the river separately from them so that he could settle in the city before dark, and there was still some time to experience the nightlife of Linjiang City at night.

So he said, "Since that's the case, I will leave you first. The uncles are taking care of me along the way, and I am very grateful."

"Where is it, it's better for the old man to nag," the old coachman said with a smile.

He secretly put a silver coin on the old coachman silently as a farewell to the car along the way. Liu Xiu said goodbye and left alone. Although he had no interaction with others, Liu Xiu also greeted him before leaving, so as not to feel that he was not polite.

"Ah, I remembered that Mr. Liu is named Liu Xiu and has a good relationship with my lady. Now my lady has become a member of the Iron Armored Army Reserve, but I couldn't recognize him and talk to him. I might be able to get reused by the lady in the future. I missed an opportunity. My head is really damn!"

After Liu Xiu left, the guard of the Liu family then thought of who Liu Xiu was, and he slapped his forehead and was upset...

Linjiang City is close to Nutao River. There are naturally many people on both sides who make a living by boating, so they don’t need to go specifically. Just stop at the dock, some people ask if they want to cross the river by boat. The empty-handed people take small boats, and the caravans ask with big boats.

So when Liu Xiugang and the coachman separated, several people asked him if he wanted to cross the river.

Of course, I have to pass it. Because the prices are almost the same, Liu Xiu got on an old man's boat. He was still there to pull customers and ferry people to make money when he was fifty or sixty years old. Everyone was sitting on it. Liu Xiu was also happy that he earned the ten copper coins.

The old man's boat is only about ten meters long. It looks a bit old. It is a black-sailed boat and can shelter from the rainy days.

After Liu Xiu got on the boat, the old boatman said timidly: "This guy, it's not easy to go back and forth, can I wait for a few more guests to cross the river together?"

At this time, Liu Xiu was the only guest on the boat. He also understood the old man's intention to make money. Seeing that the old man was polite and not easy, he thought about it and asked: "Old man, how many guests do you usually bring across the river in this boat?"

"It's usually three or five, and there are seven or eight when there are many people. Don't worry, the old man has never had an accident in a boat here for decades..."

Liu Xiu interrupted him with a smile and said, "Old man, that's not what I mean. If you see this, don't pull other guests. I'll give you fifty copper coins. Just think you have pulled five guests, and you'll send me over now?"

"This... fifty copper plates are too many, so let's do it, I'll give you thirty," said the old boatman after thinking about it.

It was too much to collect 50 copper coins from Liu Xiu, and it was much easier to give Liu Xiu alone, so he took the initiative to reduce the price.

"Okay, then let's set off." Liu Xiu was not pretentious and agreed immediately.

So the old man unbuttoned the reins and shook the oars and carried Liu Xiu to the other side.

Without waiting in the tent to reach the other side, Liu Xiu stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the busy scene on the river. The big and small boats were very lively.

After observing for a while, Liu Xiu pointed to the river in the distance and asked the boatman: "Old man, what are you doing there? There is a big boat next to you, but there are people swimming desperately in the water. Could it be that they are doing some interesting activities?"

More than two thousand meters away from Liu Xiu and the others, a large ship was sailing on the river, but there were hundreds of people swimming desperately in the water, which really made Liu Xiu curious.

The old coachman glanced at it and explained with a smile: "This is my first time coming to Linjiang City? Is it not doing any activities over there, but the reserves of the Iron Armor Army are training."

"Training? Training in the water?" Liu Xiu was stunned.

"Yes, I don't understand the warrior's affairs either. I guess there is something to say," the old man shook his head and said.

Tsk, are you training special forces? Liu Xiu murmured in his heart, and after a few glances, he stopped looking. He wondered if Liu Qingqing was in the reserve force of the Iron Armored Army. If he went to see him tomorrow, he could visit him. Both sides were friends. Since it was unreasonable that he didn't even look at him. As for whether he could see him, it would be different.

There is a saying that the sunset in the long river is round. Looking at the shimmering river surface under the setting sun, Liu Xiu immediately became interested and took off the Erhu and prepared for a while.

So he sat down, placed the erhu on his knees, closed his eyes and pulled it up.

It's still the same myth. After so long of practice, Liu Xiu has barely been able to pull it out intact. It doesn't sound good, but it's not that harsh.

The timbre of the erhu itself has a bit of sadness, especially when combined with the setting sun, it makes people feel a little bit of emotion in their ears for no reason.

When the old man who was riding the boat saw Liu Xiu playing the erhu, he was curious about what kind of musical instrument it was and wanted to speak but stopped. It was because Liu Xiu was so involved that he couldn't bear to disturb him.

The boat slowly sailed toward the opposite side of the river. When he arrived at the center of the river, the old man who was raising the boat paused and stopped rowing in horror.

At this time, a few dozen meters away from the boat, a large building boat was on the window, and a figure soared into the air and landed lightly on the boat.

Seeing this person, the old man was at a loss and said, "I don't know what the girl is saying? If the old man has any offense, please include..."

The one who landed on the boat was a woman in red, about 1.7 meters tall, with a very hot figure and a very unrestrained dress. A large piece of snow-white appeared on her chest. The deep ravines made people want to suffocate themselves inside. Her waist was swaying with her perky buttocks, the breeze blew, the red skirt swayed, and her snow-white big legs were looming.

This woman in red not only has a hot figure, but also looks very charming and charming. She can easily move her expression and move.

She waved her hand to interrupt the boatman's words, and looked at Liu Xiu who was playing the erhu with interest and chuckled: "Don't panic, old man, I'm not here to trouble you, I'm just curious who can make the originally beautiful melody so unpleasant!"

Liu Xiu felt it when the woman arrived, but she ignored it and played the erhu on her own. But when the woman said that she made the erhu unpleasant, Liu Xiu stopped doing it and opened her eyes and looked at her and said, "Is it a hindrance?"
