The sky was gray and there was no sunshine.
The fields seemed to be covered with a layer of frost all of a sudden. Looking from a distance, they looked completely white and lifeless.
"How big is this Shenquan Island? Doesn't the lake freeze in this winter?"
Yang Ming squatted down and put his hand into the water, feeling the warmth brought by the still-frozen lake.
"Back to the Marquis, this place has been occupied by the military in all dynasties. The main reason is that there are several hot springs on the island. Perhaps because of the hot springs, the temperature of the lake is higher than other places, so it will not freeze!"
The temperature difference between the lake water is huge, and the mist on the lake surface is like being in a fairyland, which is very interesting.
"Ah Qi~!"
The lake was like a natural dividing line. Yang Ming looked back, his eyes converged with Liu Chengu's, staring at the lush mountain forest not far away, and couldn't help but sneeze!
I am tall, mighty, and have deep inner strength. Why am I still so afraid of the cold? Is it because I am weak? !
"Master Marquis, please wait a moment, the big ship will be here soon. Today's temperature is much lower than usual, so the fog on the lake is too thick. For safety reasons, the big ship moves slowly. I hope you will forgive me!"
Huang Laoji quietly glanced at the three women behind him with the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sex is a knife in the head, these big shots are all caused by overwork!"
"Husband, are you okay?"
Sisters Jin Zhiyuan are both from a different ethnic group. They have lived in the north since childhood and are relatively cold-resistant. The Liu family and his daughter are both alchemists, so this little temperature will not have any impact on them.
However, Yang Ming is different. As a time traveler, a time traveler whose soul comes from the southern region a thousand years in the future, his fear of the cold may just be a conditioned reflex.
"It's okay. Have you read the drawings I gave you yesterday? You implement the plan as above and try to learn the basics solidly. By then, the supplies of Yangjiabao will be left to your sisters to take care of!"
Yang Ming, who is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty and once lived at the bottom of society, knows what the Tang Dynasty needs at this time! What do the soldiers of Tang Dynasty need?
At this time, Yang Ming suddenly felt confident. It is no exaggeration to say that if Huang Laoji hadn't been here, he would have dared to assure Liu Chengu that he could escort the three women out of the ambush without any harm!
"Mr. Yang, did you suddenly feel like you were seeing clear skies after clearing the clouds? How could you learn about Shenquan Island and talk about supplies with the Jin sisters in such a leisurely and elegant way?"
Yang Ming ignored Liu Chengu's questions, while Liu Yan'er was still very angry.
But then I thought about it, Yang Ming had the leisure to ask Huang Laoji about the origin of Shenquan Island, and then arranged a job for his woman. Could it be that Yang Ming found a way to break the ambush trap? !
"Haha! Miss Liu is indeed the most talented woman in Qizhou. Her brain works faster than ordinary people. She can even guess what I was thinking just now!"
Yang Ming pointed in the direction of the forest and said to Liu Chengu: "It's hard to hide in the forest in this kind of weather. Brother Liu, please prepare dozens of typhoid medicines later so that the brothers in the forest can warm their bodies. !”
Liu Chengu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. No wonder they were all approaching before two arrows were fired. It was not Huang Laoji's strategy to lure the enemy deeper, but that the guards in the forest were no longer good!
It's really hard on the soldiers at the bottom to have to guard such a large area of forest in this damn weather. If it weren't for the giant ape, Liu Chengu would really not want to feel uncomfortable in this inhospitable countryside!
"Say, young man, I have lived in Qizhou for a long time. Why haven't I heard about Shenquan Island here?"
A three-story-tall behemoth loomed in the fog like a flower boat and slowly approached the crowd. This unreasonable thing almost made Liu Chengu's jaw drop!
He still remembered that he had been there not far before. It used to be a village that specialized in robbing homes, but he accidentally picked it up. As for Shenquan Island, he had never heard of it!
"Hui Divine Doctor Liu, this Shenquan Island has a special geographical location and has hot springs. Therefore, this place is a secret royal base and is never disclosed to the public. There were many soldiers stationed on the island in the past!"
Huang Laoji took the rope thrown by the boatman and scurried about. With such skillful skills, people who don't know better would think that this guy is an out-and-out fisherman.
The flower boat docked steadily under Huang Laoji's control. Yang Ming didn't say hello, and didn't care about the group of people behind him. He just flew towards the cabin in a single step.
The appearance of the flower boat is quite good, but there are big problems with the proportions and balance of the hull. Driving on a calm lake is fine, but if it enters a river, a big wave can knock it over!
Just in case, it would be safer for Yang Ming to go to the cabin to check first. He must have some life-saving equipment and at least get a thorough understanding of the condition of the hull before he dares to let the people behind him board the boat.
He had already reached Qizhou, and he didn't want his boat to capsize in the gutter!
"Hey! Wait a moment, Mr. Hou, the humidity on the lake is too high. You'd better not walk around to avoid getting wet later!"
Huang Laoji was about to become a tour guide and introduce the history of the flower boat to Yang Ming and his group. Unexpectedly, Yang Ming did not follow the routine and boarded the boat without caring about the others!
"Young man, please ignore him, he just likes to run around, let's continue chatting! When did you say there were many soldiers stationed before? I have been here before, but it seems to be a cottage outside..."
Liu Chengu was very pleased with what Yang Ming did. He was a good man who knew how to take care of his partner. The two masters brought three weak women into an unfamiliar environment, so it was better to play it safe!
"Haha, Divine Doctor Liu is quite powerful, even the once arrogant copycat outside knows about it...
That group of people was once sent by the late emperor to guard Shenquan Island. After His Majesty ascended the throne, that group of people was transferred to the outside and dressed up as bandits to scare the villagers and prevent outsiders from approaching Shenquan Island. But somehow, those people disappeared out of thin air. . . . "
Huang Laoji stood on the bow of the boat, holding a torch and shaking it in the direction of the forest, as if he was saying something secret. Then he took a large wooden box out of the cabin and placed it on the shore.
Liu Chengu was embarrassed!
Back then, he was so red-blooded that he killed bandits all over the world with one man and one horse. Unexpectedly, not only were the bandit dens large and small disappeared, but even the local garrison was left to him!
Fortunately, it was not Li Shimin's direct troops, and Li Yuan stepped down again. Otherwise, if he killed so many soldiers, even if the Emperor came, Liu Chengu would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die!
"Young man, how can you supply the forest guards with just this wooden box of heating supplies? If you can't make a fire in this weather and don't have enough heating supplies, you will definitely freeze into ice sculptures if you stay in the forest for three days!"
Liu Chengu quickly changed the topic. He didn't want to talk about the bandits in the future, otherwise he might accidentally reveal that he killed the entire garrison one day!
