The big ship went against the current and arrived at Qutang Gorge in less than half a day. The river was high and the waves were strong. It was the most dangerous part of the Three Gorges. The water situation was not very good. Even the Yanxi Pile, the place where the grand meeting was held, was only one person tall and three meters wide. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Talk △ Net w

Lu Li stood at the bow and looked up. The Yanxi Pile was standing in the turbulent river. The upper half of its body emerged from the water. It was as if it was armed with a sword and wanted to call back the river. The front wave of the river rushed towards the rock, and the back wave pushed forward, creating a sky full of spray. Every time the river water rushed towards the Yanxi Pile, the waves in front of the Yanxi Pile would surge into the sky, mist would rise, whirlpools would spin, and the earth would shake.
The sound of thunder could be heard from ten miles away.
"This is the wonder of the Yanxi Pile, which has been passed down for thousands of years in Shu." Song Shidao came to Lu Li's side and introduced, "Our Song family's ships pass here every year. The boatmen are experienced, so there won't be any danger. Brother Lu, have you ever been to Qutang? If so, please don't laugh at me! "
"I have been to Qutang!" Lu Li looked at the gorge and the strange rocks on both sides curiously and replied, "But I have never seen the Yanxi Pile …" What Lu Li didn't say was that the Yanxi Pile was destroyed by the government in the winter of 1958 because it obstructed shipping. Only in the story world of the Sui and Tang Dynasties could one see the wonder of the Yanxi Pile.
"Look …" Lu Li pointed to Song Shidao and said, "This Yanxi Pile is a turbulent undercurrent in the middle of the river. Ships will be disturbed by the turbulent current when they come here. Thousands of rivers converge here, and the current is extremely rapid. It's dangerous even for a big ship like us. If it's a small boat commonly used by fishermen, it will capsize or crash into the Yanxi Pile and be smashed into pieces in an instant!"
"Why don't we destroy this huge rock?" Lu Li asked.
Song Shidao laughed in understanding and said while shaking his head, "Brother Lu, it's not like our Song clan hasn't considered what you're thinking. The Qutang Mountain is a pile of rocks that makes the Shu Road difficult to traverse. Our Song clan loses thousands of gold in goods and manpower here every year. If we can really deal with it, our Song clan will be the first to do so! "
"But you don't know that Qutang is a place where thousands of rivers converge. There is plenty of water. Other than the mountains, there are also countless rocks and reefs under the water. Since ancient times, the undercurrents here have been complicated and changing according to the weather. Going under the river is a dead end!"
"The people who fell into the water here have never been rescued alive. Even if someone were to chisel away the stones, they would only be able to destroy the part above the river surface. "
When Lu Li heard this, she could not help but smile bitterly and said, "If we really cut off the part above the river surface, wouldn't we be killing the caravan passengers?"
Song Shidao nodded and said, "The Craggy Lake is as big as an elephant, Qu Tang cannot be reached. Yan An was as big as an ox, Qu Tang could not be left alive. The craggy lake is as big as a horse, Qutang cannot enter it. The craggy lake was as big as a bundle, and Qutang could not touch it. The craggy lake was as big as a tortoise, and the pond could not be seen. The craggy lake is as big as a turtle, Qutang can't be sailed. If one day, the craggy lake really can't be seen anymore! I'm afraid that along the Yangtze River in Sichuan, every family will mourn and weep. "
"The sailors here are all controlled by the Water Dragon Gang. They are most familiar with the hydrology and geography of Qutang. In this event, the Water Dragon Gang is in charge of disposing of sundries. If Brother Lu is interested in the scenery of Qutang, I'll let them arrange it … "
"No need …" Lu Li refused with a smile.
The ship had already passed the craggy lake and was not far from the port. Lu Li pointed to a newly built wooden port on the shore and said, "I saw it. That should be the place where the Water Dragon Gang set up."
At this time, the two sides of the river had become a little flat, but there were still some strange peaks and rocks standing on both sides. Just in front of the port, there was a huge rock like an eagle's beak, on which a thin figure stood. When they got closer, they could see that the person was dressed differently from the Central Plains. He had a pair of eyes like a dove, staring coldly at the ship of the Song clan.
"Turks?" Song Shidao's brow creased in displeasure.
The Song clan was the most persistent of the four great clans. Most of the reason why they opposed the northern aristocratic clans was that the northern aristocratic clans had been intermarrying with the Xianbei nobles for a long time and despised their integrity and bloodline. During the Chaos of the Five Barbarians, most of the clans that moved south had a blood feud with the foreign races. As the leader of the southern clans, of course, the Song clan would not have any good impression of the mixed-bloods in the north. They were even more hostile to foreign races such as the Turks and the Xianbei.
As the ship continued forward, revealing the long line of Turkic tents on the shore, Song Shidao's face was so gloomy that it could drip water. With Lu Li's eyesight, she could naturally see the Turkic soldiers coming and going from the tents.
She recalled Song Shidao's introduction of the Water Dragon Gang. As one of the eight gangs and ten societies, the Water Dragon Gang controlled the waterways of Sichuan. With the influence of the Song clan in the south and the marriage alliance with Fort Invincible, it would be the biggest joke in the world to say that the Water Dragon Gang was not under their control! But now the Turks were stationed in Sichuan, and Song Shidao, a young master of the Song clan, knew nothing about it.
"Water Dragon Gang … Turks! What a good Water Dragon Gang! "Song Shidao was so angry that he laughed.
"You are from the Song clan?" As soon as the boat reached the shore, two short men with foul smelling bodies jumped onto the boat. They spoke to Song Shidao in a strange Chinese language, "This isn't the place where the Song household docks. You two, follow me …"
"How dare you!" Song Shidao said angrily, "Sichuan is still the world of the Han clan. It's not your turn to make decisions for me!"
"This meeting is a great event jointly organized by the Turks, Goryeo, and the aristocratic families and the revolutionary army. This is not the land of the Sui Dynasty, but a neutral land. The place where the King of the Turks is located is the land of the Turks. Both the Turks and Goryeo are big countries. If you didn't offer the land here, how could you sit with us? "
"What is the identity of our king? He is equal to the Sui Emperor! Sitting with you, the ministers of the Sui Dynasty, is already lowering his status. How dare you say more? The owner of this place, the Water Dragon Gang, adheres to neutrality and entrusted us to manage the port near the King's tent … If assassins sneak in, can you bear the responsibility? "The Turk asked with a sneer.
"The Turks and Goryeo are just a country of beasts. A group of monkeys wants to sit with humans? Thinking about the appearance of the Turkic King, it makes me think of the phrase 'wearing a crown on a monkey' … "Fu Hongyan fanned her nose as she walked out of the cabin. A mocking smile appeared on her beautiful face as she glanced at the two Turks with disdain.
"What is the Shenwu team playing at? They just let the Truth team climb on top of them?" Fu Hongyan sneered, looking at the Turks on the shore as if they were ants.
Fu Hongyan looked at Lu Li with an inexplicable gaze and came to the bow of the ship. The face of the Turk next to her was about to drip blood. He roared and swung his scimitar at the back of Fu Hongyan's head.
A loud shout in Turkic came from the shore, but that person did not pay any attention to it. He was bent on killing Fu Hongyan.
Song Shidao, who was beside her, couldn't save her in time and quickly shouted, "Danger!" Lu Li only sneered and flashed toward the other Turk. Just when the knife-wielding Turk arrived behind Fu Hongyan, the woman didn't even turn her head. She lightly stretched out a sleeve and wrapped it around the hands of the Turk.
In the blink of an eye, Fu Hongyan had thrown him off the boat and sent a burst of energy from her palm. Under the gazes of the dozens of people on the boat and the countless people on the shore, she had torn the Turkic expert to shreds, his blood splashing onto the river.
On the other side, Lu Li also broke the neck of the other Turk and threw him off the ship.
"Who allowed you to make decisions for me?" Fu Hongyan's voice resounded on both sides of the river. "You idiots who are being controlled and manipulated? Do you know who is the one making the decisions? The ones making the decisions here are the leaders, not you NPCs. As NPCs, you have to be obediently manipulated by the players, understand? Your only choice is to obey … or die! "
"Bitch!" By the time the sinister-eyed Turk expert boarded the ship, it was already too late. He looked at Fu Hongyan's face with lust and cursed, "People of the Song household, is this woman representing you to provoke the Turks? Are you people who betray the alliance and kill your allies? Hand over that woman, or else … you'll be breaking the alliance with us! "(To be continued)
