Since the opening of the Anlu Canal, Liang and Jiang have increasingly chosen waterways for their exchanges. Because commercial transactions involve bulk freight, they were originally the meaning of the opening of the canal. Needless to say, even tourists from both countries have begun to prefer to take a boat to experience the real travel of the mountains and rivers.

In order to avoid the single and boring journey and make the journey more interesting, the Liang State delegation set a "half water and half land" travel strategy. In this way, it will not miss the time to Chang'an, but also satisfy everyone's desire to see the scenery on both sides of the water and land.

On July 20th, the Fanfulou ship carrying the Liang State delegation set sail from Luzhou Port and headed north.

Liang Xuanlin and Fan Baotong were both on the road for the first time. On the way, they would inevitably pull Jiang Zhong to ask some questions about the customs and customs of the people. Although Jiang Zhong had thousands of books, he did not travel thousands of miles. He could only answer based on some of the sashimi notes and historical books he read on weekdays. At the same time, he did not forget his duties and took the opportunity to point out that when Liang Xuanlin governed the country in the future, he should know how to respect the customs of various places. Not only should he protect it in the form of laws, but he should also provide material support for policies;

Then, the significance of people's living habits in the supply and demand of goods was analyzed to Fan Baotong.

Jiang Zhong naturally would not naively think that it would be a complete change to Prince Xuanlin and Fan Baotong only in this way. What he wants to do now is to subtly influence the two of their attitudes and ways of thinking through the facts, teach by example, and combine them together.

Some views that transcend the times are certainly out of date, but a new thinking logic can not only expand one's horizons to understand everything, but also greatly benefit one's personal judgment.

On the first night after leaving Luzhou, Liang Xuanlin and Fan Baotong suffered from insomnia. The two tossed and turned on the couch in their respective cabins. In the end, Prince Xuanlin could not bear it and ordered people to stop the ship. However, before the order to stop the ship was passed, the Grand Tutor was intercepted.

Jiang Zhong asked: "When can you arrive in Chang'an when you walk day and stop at night?"

Prince Xuanlin said with a frown: "When you are sailing at night, you are always shaking, and I really can't sleep."

Jiang Zhong said: "Your Highness should know your Majesty's intention to lead the group to Jiang this time, right?"

"Tao Fu, I am so sleepy. Let's take the exam tomorrow."

Jiang Zhong smiled without saying a word, staring at Prince Xuanlin, just like a gentleman staring at a naughty schoolchild.

Prince Xuanlin had no choice but to answer honestly: "Learn the etiquette of national relations, make friends and alliances, see other countries' figures, experience the ability to adapt to changes, the way to deal with things, uh... and, with the Taifu training his courage and tempering his will."

Jiang Zhong nodded and said, "It's the last four words. Your Highness should go to bed early." After saying that, he turned around and returned to the cabin. He had just taken a step and suddenly turned around and said, "If your Highness still can't sleep, you can try counting sheep."

"ah?"

"It's just one sheep, two sheep, and three sheep counting like this, and counting, you will feel sleepy and you can fall asleep without realizing it."

"Tao Fu, don't scare me!"

"You might as well give it a try."

Prince Xuanlin then couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Prince Xuanlin got up in a daze and went to breakfast. When he saw Jiang Zhong walking towards him with a smile, he suddenly stepped back and said, "Teacher, don't come over!"

Fan Baotong, who was in a bad mood, yawned and asked curiously: "Why is your Highness?"

Prince Xuanlin said bitterly: "The Grand Tutor likes to fool people."

"What's wrong?"

"Last night, I was tossing and turning and unable to sleep due to the bumpy boat. The tutor gave me an idea to ask me to count sheep. Although I didn't understand this, I thought that the tutor had always been unfathomable and had a deep meaning. So I count sheep according to his idea..."

“So what?”

"As a result, I counted all night, and until this time, there were still large flocks of sheep in front of me."

Fan Baotong laughed silently and turned his head to ask Jiang Zhong: "Sir, can you tell me what the allusion is for the Sheep?"

Jiang Zhong walked over, patted Prince Xuanlin, and said, "It is difficult for one person to fall asleep, because it is mostly caused by the complex thoughts. I asked His Highness Xuanlin to count the sheep, so that he could focus his energy on counting the sheep, and thus ignore the swaying ship and the sound of the flowing water. Unexpectedly, His Highness was so straightforward and counting the sheep until dawn."

"Tao Fu!"

Jiang Zhong smiled and said, "This is a method in my hometown. I think it doesn't apply here. After breakfast, I will teach you two a set of breathing and breathing techniques. As long as you practice diligently, you will be able to have a good sleep."

A few days later, Liang and Fan began to practice the breathing and sucking formula taught by Jiang Zhong. At first, it was difficult to calm down, and felt that the formula was useless, which made people feel that it was useless. However, seeing that Jiang Zhong was serious and did not seem to be a joke, he had to persist. After a few days, Prince Xuanlin took the lead in touching the threshold of the formula and slept for two hours.

When Liang Xuanlin and Fan Baotong completely solved the problem of insomnia on the ship, the Liang State delegation happened to arrive at the Yinxia, ​​which was the third day of the August 2018. If you travel another day, you will change from water to land.

After passing by Yinxia again, Jiang Zhong couldn't help but feel a little moved. Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the two black mountain peaks, recalling the battle with the Divine Snake Gang, it felt like it was a different life.

At this moment, the golden martial soul in my body suddenly trembled to warn me, and the frequency and time were unprecedented. What does this mean? An unprecedented crisis is approaching me?

Jiang Zhong turned his gaze to the water surface, and the river water reflected by the lights of the building ship was peaceful and peaceful.

Jiang Zhong stood there as if nothing had happened for a while, then turned back to the cabin, clicked a few servants, and ordered one by one:

"You go and pass the prince's order quickly and stop the boat immediately!"

"You go and inform General Shi quickly and let him take the imperial guards to protect Prince Xuanlin tightly!"

"You go and invite the two great envoys of Fan's mansion to the cabin of the Second Young Master Fan!"

"You go and invite Young Master Yang Jianming and Miss Qingqin and Qinghe to me!"

Seeing that the Taifu looked solemn, the orders given by the whole group were unusual, so they did not dare to neglect them, so they took their own orders to do things.

After a while, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "The sky is blooming! Come out and see, the sky is blooming!"

"Is it Chaohua League?"

Yang Jianming walked over with his sword in his arms, and said coldly when he heard the screams outside.

Jiang Zhong nodded, and who would dare to attack Prince Liang and the second young master of the Fan Mansion at the same time, besides the Chaohua League, the number one killer organization in the mainland?

Jiang Zhong remembered that chatting with Mr. Fan and asked him what experts there are in the world. He seemed to specifically mention "the killer leader of Chaohua League". Could it be that the killer leader also came today?

"What a big deal." Jiang Zhong said without any expression: "Go out and take a look?" He said, and walked out.

Yang Jianming glanced at Jiang Zhong and went out.

"I heard that Chaohua League lets someone die in the morning, and that person will not live in the evening. I wonder if it is true?" Jiang Zhong looked up at the strange fallen flowers in the sky and asked.

"'Chaohua Order, take life in the evening'." Yang Jianming said with a hint of mocking tone: "Our owner of the manor also received the Chaohua Order, and it was carried out by their leader himself."

"What's the result?"

"As a result, the owner of the manor was annoyed that he didn't know how to cherish flowers, so he just sprinkled petals everywhere. It was really abominable, so he taught him a lesson."

Jiang Zhong smiled and said, "It seems that their words are suspected of false advertising."

At this time, Shi Dangguan's deputy general Zhu Ying walked out, clasped his fists to Jiang Zhong, and said, "Taifu, the general asks what happened."

Jiang Zhong said: "You go and report to General Shi, Chaohua Alliance wants to ambush Prince Xuanlin."

"Wow..."
Chapter completed!
