Hearing Wen Hui's accusation, Li Chengqian smiled.
It is rare to find such an honest and kind person in this colorful world.
Li Chengqian stood up and patted his shoulder and said: "I am so capable, how can I still be afraid of these water bandits?"
Now he didn't bother to explain to Wen Hui that these people were assassins who came after him.
And even if you tell him, he won't believe it.
After all, in his opinion, Li Chengqian's current identity is just an ordinary crew member. How could someone find an assassin to kill him?
This scene happened too quickly and happened in the water, so many people didn't see it.
The ship is still sailing as usual, and everyone on the ship is still working as usual.
Even the dock remained as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Only Li Chengqian and Wen Hui were worried.
Wen Hui had an indescribable feeling in his heart because he saw Li Chengqian kill someone with his own eyes.
And Li Chengqian was because of the crossbow machines used by those people.
You know, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there are very few people who can use crossbows.
But in these several assassinations, the opponent's assassin always used this thing.
Logically speaking, Li Shimin has already implemented the strictest control on crossbows.
But now, these things are still flowing into the hands of some people.
Moreover, Li Chengqian also noticed that the assassins who assassinated him now were completely different from those in Tengzhou.
In other words, these people in Tengzhou also took action, but the ruffians were not with them.
In other words, more than one group of people are now eyeing his head...
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian felt a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, he finally understood that it was no wonder that those in high and powerful positions were surrounded by a large number of hawks and dogs.
It turns out that it’s all because of this.
The longer he walked on this road, the more powerless he felt.
In the beginning, he may have been able to control his own destiny, but now he has completely lost control of his own destiny.
Now, he can only resign himself to fate and let his fate take its course.
…
The waterway travels quickly.
Two days later at night, Li Chengqian's boat arrived at Dutou, Yangzhou City.
Here, he had to change to the land route and continue walking south.
Before that, he had to stay overnight in Yangzhou City.
When Wen Hui heard that he was going to be separated from Li Chengqian, he was extremely reluctant to part with him.
He looked straight at Li Chengqian and said, "Why don't you just stop doing it if you say you don't want to do it? Just keep persisting. It's hard to find work elsewhere."
In his heart, Li Chengqian was as helpless as he was.
The reason why I came to the ship was to earn some money.
At this moment, Li Chengqian got off the boat, which meant that he was done with it.
In this way, he can still find a friend who is similar to his own age and is willing to listen to his bragging.
Therefore, it is reasonable for him to be reluctant to give up.
"There are plenty of jobs in the world, and it's not just boat racing."
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "Okay, don't worry about me. You have to work hard. After all, the little maid next door is still waiting for you to redeem her and marry her."
Hearing this, Wen Hui's old face couldn't help but blush.
Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian smiled even more happily: "Our mountains will remain green and our rivers will flow forever. We'll see you again if we are destined."
After saying that, he didn't care what Wen Hui's expression was, jumped directly from the deck to the ferry, and then walked straight towards Yangzhou City.
At this moment, Wen Hui suddenly shouted: "Gao Ming, will we really meet again?"
"certainly."
Li Chengqian turned around, threw a smile at him, and said, "If you have time, remember to come to Chang'an City."
"If you want to find me, you only need to tell the shopkeeper of your Changsun family that you are looking for Gao Ming, and he will know who you are looking for."
"And, I will also bring you over to see me. When that time comes, I will treat you to a big meal!"
"OK!"
"I've written this down."
"You can't forget that you still owe me a big meal for your cleverness!"
As the ship goes further and further away.
Li Chengqian also slowly turned around and walked towards the huge city.
I still remember that the last time I came here, I heard the overwhelming curses in the city before I even entered the city.
It looked like Li Chengqian was digging up someone's ancestral grave.
It seemed like everyone wanted to skin him and dismember him, eat his flesh and drink his blood.
But this time, because he arrived late, Li Chengqian finally saw Yangzhou City in peace.
Yangzhou, also known as Guangling, has been a place where beautiful scenery and beautiful women coexist since ancient times.
The song "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" made Zhang Ruoxu's eyes filled with lovesickness and tears.
As the saying goes, three parts of the world are bright moonlit nights, and two parts are Yangzhou. You can imagine how tender the moon in ancient Yangzhou must be.
And under this gentle moonlight, what kind of touching story will happen...
Looking at the bright moon above my head.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh: "Yangzhou is good, Yangzhou is good, Yangzhou is such a good place, no wonder it made Emperor Yang stay away..."
"yes……"
“It’s also a place where you won’t want to leave.”
Just when Li Chengqian was sighing.
Suddenly, a female voice sounded beside him.
Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian was also startled.
He took a step to the side, and then looked up in the direction of the sound with a wary face.
Not far from him, he saw a woman with a graceful figure wearing white clothes and a white gauze.
Seeing this person, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment: "Have you been following me this whole time?"
"No."
"It's just a coincidence that we met here."
The woman said indifferently: "I just want to remind you that someone in the world has offered a high price for your head, offering eight hundred taels of gold for your head."
"Eight hundred taels of gold..."
Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this number.
During this era, of course gold had not yet been used as the main currency circulating in the market.
But gold still has a unified value.
The price of one tael of gold can be converted into a thousand copper plates in the end.
Eight hundred gold, that’s eight hundred thousand coppers...
Taking into account the salary of a first-class official like Cheng Yaojin, one hundred thousand copper coins a year, he would have to work for at least eight years to earn so much money.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I didn't expect that my head would be so valuable."
"certainly."
The woman smiled noncommittally and said, "So now many people are eyeing your head."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also shrugged noncommittally.
He looked straight at the woman and said, "Then you came here to take my head too?"
The woman did not answer the question, but looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "Do you think I am?"
"I think you are."
Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "And if my head is taken away by others, I will really not be willing to do so, but if it is taken away by you, I will not complain at all."
"After all, it was you who helped me block those rebel soldiers outside Yangzhou City."
"And over the years, you have always been around me to help me deal with overt and covert threats."
"After all, I owe you a lot without knowing it. If you want to take this life away, you can take it away at any time..."
