Chapter 796: Crossing the River (A Celebration for Alliance Leader KKRGUN!)

The journey from Jiangzhou Prefecture to Jingcheng is not short.

Aaron had previously asked Provincial Graduate Gu about the specific route; after all, he was the only one in the entire Luzhouji who had experience traveling to the capital for the imperial examinations.

According to Provincial Graduate Gu, one could first take the land route to Jinshi City, then switch to the waterway to head north, which would require quite a bit of effort.

Jinshi is a major strategic town in the south of Dasong, with a population of several hundred thousand, and with Zhongshan coiling like a dragon and Shitou crouching like a tiger, it is known as the foundation of emperors.

Especially after the Grand Canal from Jinshi to the north was opened, communication between the north and south became much more convenient.

Scholars traveling to the capital for the imperial examinations could take a boat directly, which was much better than before.

Aaron saw a small figure in the boat cabin, but he acted as if he hadn't seen it, and without entering the cabin, he answered with a smile.

But if one does not listen to the laws of the Imperial Court, it is a recipe for the destruction of one's family and death within minutes!

Comparing the two, they are actually more easily driven by the Imperial Court than by oneself, who lacks a strict system.

"Daoist, please keep your spirit pet under control; my wife and daughter are still on the boat."

"Exactly!"

Instead, the boat captain thought for a moment and asked, "Where does the Daoist wish to go?"

"Naturally, to Jingcheng!"

Accompanied by a tiger's roar, the originally bustling and noisy wharf immediately fell into chaos.

Aaron ordered Xiaoyu to walk around the city, and during this time, he also received many exclamations of wonder.

The surrounding people recognized that these were all famous second-generation wealthy heirs in Jinshi City, who usually had nothing to do but gather together for amusement, and had caused many disturbances in the past.

"Not to mention Feng Shui and metaphysics, just from the perspective of military affairs and reputation, this is also a good foundation... No wonder people always say Jinshi City has King Qi!"

'This is the wonder of the system; therefore, heroes and gallants all bow down to it...'

In other words... one still has to rebel!

"It really is the Qianqiu Banquet!"

There are many troublesome things... it is not as efficient as a backdoor listing or borrowing a chicken to lay eggs!

'Rebellion can be done later; let's trick a wave of Qi Number first...'

"Jiangnan is a land of beauties, Jinshi is a state of emperors."

An old boatman, being bolder, took a look at the tax official who was already paralyzed on the ground in fear, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and performed a very humble salute.

"This Daoist master... please put away this mount; we are afraid."

Xuanwu Lake.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding boatmen all shrank their heads in fear.

The boat captain was so scared that his hands shook: "Daoist, you are joking..."

The surrounding people nodded secretly: 'Who would dare to share a boat with a tiger, not afraid of being eaten in the middle of the night?'

The wharf.

After boarding the boat, the boat captain cupped his hands and said with a bitter smile.

The boat captain asked a question.

Aaron looked at the boat captain: "I want to charter a boat to cross the river... I wonder which one can take it?"

Aaron performed a Daoist salute, which he had recently learned in a crash course.

If it really came to that... I'm afraid it wouldn't be inviting passengers to eat noodles, but inviting the White Tiger to break its fast, right?

The group of playboys cheered one after another and hurriedly went to rent a boat to cross the river, not to mention...

Aaron called out again, and the White Tiger lay down obediently, which made people marvel.

"Don't be afraid... my Xiaoyu is quite well-behaved."

'That's true...'

"Setting sail!"

"Since that is the case, then many thanks."

Although this Jinshi City was prosperous, he only watched from the outside and did not enter the city.

Accompanied by a shout from the boat captain, he held a long bamboo pole and steered the boat away from the wharf.

"Rest assured, Xiaoyu is very well-behaved."

He thought to himself, even if there were water bandits, who would dare to rob you, old man?

"Good!"

The boat captain's boat was docked at the wharf, and Aaron was also an old sailor; after taking a slight look at the bottom of the boat and the sails, he knew it was an old craftsman, so he nodded.

Aaron smiled: "Although the waterway is better for going to Jingcheng, I am afraid my mount's temperament cannot endure it, so I will just take the land route after crossing the river..."

Not only that, to its west is the natural barrier of the Great River, and in the middle of the river there is a river island, also called Cai Shi Ji, which is extremely convenient for the garrison to defend.

Understood this way, if I go to show off in public, at most it will have a sensational effect; how many people can truly be attracted to work for me until death?

'Therefore... if you want to trick a big wave, you must mix into the Imperial Court! Under the system, a higher official crushes you to death... if they tell you to die, you must die! If you dare not to obey, the so-called three-foot law is set up for this!'

Aaron's eyes lit up.

Probably after today, the Legendary of the 'Tiger Power Immortal' will also spread in Jinshi City.

The great lake had no waves, and Aaron stood at the bow of the boat, blowing in the breeze, looking relaxed.

And to the east of Jinshi City, there is also Ziqing Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is Xuanwu Lake, which is extremely beneficial for the garrison and is also a tourist attraction in normal times.

The boat captain thought for a moment and cupped his hands: "There is no need for that bit of boat fare; consider it a tribute to the Daoist."

This made the boat captain secretly wonder, why does this Daoist look like someone who is accustomed to being on the water?

"I once heard..."

The reality is that if the common people don't watch the spectacle or learn immortality, they won't die.

This Lin Le was of noble birth, the son of the hereditary Guangyang Marquis, and held the highest status among the group of playboys. After thinking for a moment, he said unwillingly, "We heard the news in the city and went to such trouble to rush here, how can we miss it? Keep chasing for me!"

Roar, roar!

The city walls of this city were built with giant stones and were very sturdy.

"Daoist, are you planning to bring your mount along?"

It was not until the boat entered Xuanwu Lake and became a black dot that several fine horses arrived at the pier. Several wealthy young masters in brocade robes jumped down from them: "Where is the White Tiger? Where is that Tiger-Riding Daoist?"

Aaron had now figured out the essence of 'Qi Points': it was obedience!

Or rather, there was no such thing as Heavenly Mandate in this world originally, but the common people were ignorant and foolish, voluntarily following the strong, engaging in Personal Attachment, and asking others to dominate their Fate... By contributing layer by layer, it finally gathered in one person, forming the so-called Imperial Court system and 'Heavenly Mandate'.

Aaron thought about it; if he wanted to master this power, he could probably do it, but that would require him to establish a system himself and become a ruler.

At this moment, one person shouted, "Young Master Lin, you are late. That Tiger-Riding Daoist has already rented a boat and crossed the river. I heard people say he is going all the way to Jingcheng!"

Riding Xiaoyu and arriving near Jinshi City, Aaron could not help but sigh with emotion.

Xiaoyu let out a roar and jumped onto the deck, making the whole boat seem to sink!

"Xiaoyu!"

Aaron thought for a moment and said, "Back when the waterways were not peaceful, boat captains would often take passengers into the water and then ask the guests if they wanted to eat 'board-knife noodles' or 'wonton noodles'?"

Aaron rode Xiaoyu leisurely, quite like a tiger clearing the streets, and arrived at the pier. Looking at the boundless lake, he could not help but sigh, "What a Xuanwu Lake."

Several youths looked at their leader, Lin Le.

"Brother Le, what do you think we should do?"

"Since that is the case, let this old man take the Daoist across the river!"

Aaron smiled dumbly and paid it no mind.

At this time, a small head poked out from inside the cabin; it was a little boat girl, her timid eyes dark and bright, staring only at the White Tiger, seemingly wanting to touch it but not daring to...
