Back to the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that Zhou Yu had gone down, Zhuge Liang was worried that Ye Chang had more dreams, so he quickly let the fleet set sail. The two merchant ships unmoored and set sail, slowly leaving the pier. Zhou Yu couldn't help but waved to the family on the boat, and Zhuge Mengxue waved in response. Seeing the fleet drift away, Zhou Yu only felt that one of his own hearts had left him. It wasn't until the fleet went far down the river that Zhou Yu cleared up his mood.

Immediately Zhou Yu thought of one thing: "When did the Zhuge family start business, and there are two large merchant ships? Zhou Yu only felt puzzled in his heart, but soon, his love for Zhuge Mengxue made him let go of the matter: this is a trivial matter, and I have not heard that it is also a normal matter.

Immediately, Zhou Yu reluctantly glanced at the merchant ship down the river, and then led his followers back.

"Master, how do we go downstream? Shouldn't we go upstream when we go back?" Dian Wei asked in confusion as he watched the fleet go down the river.

Chen Lang smiled and said: "When Zhou Yu is out of this file, I had to walk downstream first to prevent him from suspicion, and wait until night before turning back." Dian Wei didn't quite understand, but thought that since it was the lord's decision, naturally it was not. Would be wrong.

Chen Lang walked in front of Zhuge and laughed: "Miss Mengxue is really not easy! Even the famous Jiangdong Zhou Lang has been played around by you!"

Zhuge Ruoxue and Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing. Zhuge Mengxue's pretty face flushed red, gave Chen Lang a fierce look, and turned to her cabin. Zhuge Ruoxue hurriedly followed up, hugged her sister's arm, and then turned her head and cast a big eye at Chen Lang. Chen Lang couldn't help laughing.

Turning his head, he asked Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming, how is your brother's situation?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Brother is sleeping in the bed, and it will take almost a day to wake up." Then he smiled: "I seem to have seen my brother getting angry!" Chen Lang smiled.

Zhuge Liang suddenly looked in admiration and said: "Big brother can resolutely give up the beauty of flowers without nostalgia, really deserves to be the dragon among the people! Compared with the big brother, Zhou Yu is far behind!"

Chen Lang asked with a smile: "You mean Miss Sun Ren?" Zhuge nodded brightly. Chen Lang frowned slightly, smiled bitterly, and said, "I really want to say that I don't miss it! But the actual situation is not like this!" After a pause, he couldn't help but look at the fading Jiang Xiacheng and muttered: "I don't know why, I have an unspeakable feeling for this princess empress!" Then he glanced at Zhuge Liang and laughed at himself: "If I stay in Jiangxia for some time, I am afraid I will really let go. No less than her!" Zhuge Liang showed admiration.

Chen Lang looked at Jiang Xia and said freely and freely: "That's good! Sun Ren hates me and this marriage very much. My sudden disappearance must be a good thing for her!" Zhuge nodded brightly.

Chen Lang retracted his gaze and looked at the nearby river. There were seven or eight large merchant ships within the range of vision above the river, and there were even more small merchant ships and fishing boats. Jiangdong is prosperous, so it can be seen that it is average. Chen Langqing couldn't help but said: "Although Sun Jian and Zhou Yu's policies have many drawbacks, it is undeniable that the positive effects are still obvious.

Zhuge nodded brightly and thought: "These measures taken by Sun Jian and Zhou Yu have achieved the fastest results. However, they have made the land problem more serious. Now it is not visible, but with time, these problems will sooner or later. It broke out. It should be noted that one of the main reasons why the Yellow Turban chaos broke out in the past was the land problem!" Chen Lang nodded in agreement.

Zhuge Liang said again: "However, I don't think Zhou Yu didn't see this problem, but intends to temporarily put it aside, and use the fastest effective method to make Jiangdong prosper and join the Central Plains hegemony! Zhou Yu's idea is actually very good. It makes sense!"

Chen Lang nodded, "You're right. But although his approach is very effective, it has further increased the power and influence of the gentry. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it in the future!" Zhuge Liang thought Nodded.

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Kong Ming and Jiang Xia must have been in contact with the local gentry and talents? Am I comparable to Qin Shihuang in the eyes of those people?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, glanced at Chen Lang, and said, "Don't hide it from your eldest brother. In the mouths of gentry and Confucian scholars, eldest brother is afraid that Qin Shihuang will be worse than Qin Shihuang!"

Chen Lang laughed loudly and said, "I don't dare to be this!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Now among Jiangdong scholars and scholars, the land policy of the elder brother is equivalent to that of the first emperor of Qin who burned books and confessed to confucianism! Saying that eldest brother is rebellious is the greatest scourge in the Han world!"

Chen Lang sneered: "I'm afraid that they think I'm moving and they think they can only belong to their interests!" Then he smiled to Zhuge Liang: "Just the land policy is so hated by them, if they know that my rule is going on. Isn't everything going to blow up!"

Zhuge Liang was surprised and couldn't help asking, "I wonder what policy the eldest brother is still pursuing?"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Don't worry. When you get to the place, you'll know it naturally." Then he moved his mind for the exam, and smiled: "Kong Ming might as well guess now." Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Brother, I can It's not a god, so guess how I can guess it out of thin air!" Chen Lang smiled and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, jokingly said: "In my eyes, there is not much difference between you and the god!" Zhuge Liang smiled and bowed. Said: "Thank you eldest brother for the praise! The younger brother is too embarrassed!" Chen Lang laughed.

Zhuge Ruoxue sat with her sister in the cabin, and saw Zhuge Liang and Chen Lang talking and laughing through the door that was not closed. She couldn't help asking curiously, "They seem to be very happy, and they don't know what they are talking about. ?"

Zhuge Mengxue was looking at the splashing river outside the window, and when she heard her sister's words, she said faintly: "Since you want to know, why not go and ask."

Zhuge Ruoxue shook her head and said, "I'm not going!" Then he ran to Zhuge Mengxue's side, hugged her shoulders, and said coquettishly like a child: "I just ignore those stinky men. I want to accompany my good sister!" Zhuge Mengxue couldn't help but smile, raised her hand and patted her sister's forehead, and said in an angry manner: "How old? She looks like a child!"

In the military camp outside Jiangxia city. Sun Ce shouted angrily: "Where is Donglang? Why didn't you come to Yingmao?"

The generals looked at each other, no one could answer Sun Ce's question.

One person clasped his fist and said: "Maybe I have an emergency, so I can't come." Sun Ce said angrily: "Even if you have an emergency, you can send someone to ask for leave. How can you be so silent and quiet!" Then he called a soldier. Ask him to immediately go to Donglang Mansion to check the situation.

Later, the soldiers sent to Donglang Mansion returned and reported to Sun Cexi: "General Qi, the subordinates did not see Donglang when they went to Donglang Mansion. Gone! Asked the servants in the mansion, they all said I don’t know where they were!"

Sun Ce frowned, subconsciously feeling a bad feeling. But then he felt that Donglang had no reason to escape! He is now not only the captain of the infantry army, but he is also about to marry the lord of Jiangdong. It can be said that he has a bright future and his future is unlimited. At this time, it makes no sense to escape! Sun Ce felt that he might have something urgent temporarily and left! Sun Ce said to the soldier: "Go to the four gates and ask if they see Donglang." The soldier promised and ran down.

Chen Lang and their fleet sailed down the river, but they could limit the speed of the boat. Unconsciously, the sky darkened, and the fleet turned around one hundred and eighty degrees on the surface of the river, heading upstream. At this time, the east wind was blowing in, and the two big boats drove up the river by the wind, and the speed was not slow.

In the middle of the night, everyone except the sailor who was on duty had fallen asleep.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" "Don't let them run! Stop them!"..., suddenly a loud noise came from the originally silent river surface.

Chen Lang who had fallen asleep immediately woke up and looked outside through the cabin. At this time, the bright moon was shining on the river, and the view on the river was very good. I saw three big boats drifting down the river from the upper reaches. The fire on the boats flickered and the shadows looked like two big boats sandwiching the other big boat, and the people on those two big boats. Rush into another big ship to burn, kill, and loot! At this time, screams and screams sounded from time to time, and someone who looked like a desperate maid jumped into the river!

Chen Lang frowned, jumped off the bed, raised the ring knife and ran out of the cabin.

As soon as he got out of the cabin, Huang Zhong came to face him, hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master, above the river, I don't know who is robbing a civilian ship!"

Chen Lang said: "It is not appropriate for us to make extravagant branches at this moment. Pass the order and avoid them!" "The final general has already passed the order!"

Chen Lang quickly boarded the upper platform. At this time, the Zhuge family, Dianwei and Li Dang and others also came behind Chen Lang. Everyone looked forward and saw three big boats clinging to each other tightly, swirling and floating down from the upstream, very fast! Seeing that the three boats were getting closer and closer, the sailors on the boat screamed: "They are too fast! Can't avoid it!"

Chen Lang frowned, and shouted: "Down the mast! Ready to fight!" Since it can't be avoided, then the matter should be resolved first!

The sailors on the two boats heard the order and acted immediately. The sails were quickly lowered, and the mast crashed forward, standing on the bow like a sharp cone! Two merchant ships greeted them with pointed masts! Seeing the shadows on the other three boats, there was a cry of exclamation, presumably they also found that the two sides were about to collide!

Chen Lang turned his head and shouted at the people around him: "Hold on to the railing to stabilize your body and don't fall into the river!" Everyone quickly hugged the railing in front of him. Zhuge Mengxue faced this kind of thing for the first time, and couldn't help showing a panic expression. Chen Lang was worried that she could not hold the railing tightly and fell into the water during the impact, so he quickly hugged the railing with one hand, while the other hand hugged her slender waist.
