"Fu Chunjun, are we really going to Chang'an to find the Eighth Prince?"
"He is the number one young warrior in the Tang Dynasty now, if we go in this way..."
A small boat on the Yangtze River was advancing rapidly, and a Japanese pirate on board turned to ask the man beside him.
"Fart! I just want to challenge the so-called strong."
"Since he is the number one among the young warriors, if I defeat him, he will naturally raise our country's prestige."
"What's more, it will be the day when he becomes the prince. I challenge him at this time, and he has absolutely no reason to refuse."
"I want to use this Muramasa sword in my hand to prove to the warriors of Datang that I, Dongying warriors are definitely not weak!"
The man with the Japanese whip head looked at the churning sea water under his feet, his eyes were full of longing and excitement.
Beside him was a great onmyoji wearing hunting clothes, constantly turning the folding fan in his hand, staring thoughtfully at the third prince in front of him.
The purpose of Fu Chunjun's trip is to challenge, but he is not.
As the only heavenly and human peak warrior in the entire Dongpu, he is well aware of the horrors of the Great Tang Jianghu.
This time, he will take advantage of the registration of the Eighth Prince of the Tang Dynasty and find an opportunity to use illusion to control him. By then, Dongpu will no longer be a subsidiary country of the Tang Dynasty.
"My lord, I will definitely do what you asked me to do!"
The onmyoji clenched his robe tightly, and slowly opened his mouth and muttered to himself.
The news that Li Chengfeng is going to take over as the crown prince has aroused the throbbing of people from all walks of life, and Chang'an is about to usher in a **** storm.
…
Naturally, Li Chengfeng didn't know the news, he was wandering around the Ezhou night market with Yu Qi at the moment.
Not long after leaving the inn, Li Chengfeng saw bright lights ahead, and many lanterns floating on the water.
"What's going on there?" He pointed to the water surface of the moat in front of him, and looked at Yu Qi beside him.
Yu Qi understood and nodded slightly: "My subordinates will go and investigate."
As he spoke, he walked towards the moat in the distance, and after asking the young men and women by the river, he understood the cause and effect.
"Your Highness, they are having a flower boat party."
"These young men and women are wearing masks and flying their own lanterns by the river."
"The lantern surrounds the entire Ezhou Mansion along the water of the moat, and there will be a brightly lit flower boat behind it."
"If young men and women are interested in being a concubine, they should pick up the lanterns together and get on the flower boat to meet each other clearly."
After hearing this, Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up, Ezhou is indeed the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and the folk customs are really bold and uninhibited.
If this was in Chang'an, those corrupt scholars and officials would definitely say that men and women can't accept each other.
"Interesting, why don't you and I go in and have fun together." Li Chengfeng turned the folding fan in his hand and smiled slightly.
"Good!" Yu Qi was also a little moved, and followed Li Chengfeng and the two towards the bustling place ahead.
The two each picked up a mask from a roadside stall and came to the river together.
All kinds of young men and women by the moat held lanterns in their hands and chatted in groups of twos and threes by the river.
All kinds of dragon and lion dancers, as well as craftsmen selling Tang people, also set up stalls here.
There are also various fireworks blooming in the sky, and the moat is very lively and bright with neon lights.
When Li Chengfeng was admiring the various lanterns in the river, a big boat suddenly appeared in the middle of the moat.
The big boat is decorated with various flowers, and there are maids in red plain robes on both sides of the flower boat, constantly spreading flower petals to both sides of the river bank.
Hundreds of young men and women on the shore saw the big boat, and quickly boarded the small boat on the shore to go to the flower boat.
When Li Chengfeng was thinking on the shore, a girl beside him suddenly took his hand and rushed towards the boat on the shore regardless.
"Hey... you..." Li Chengfeng didn't know what to do for a while.
When the two came to the boat, the girl quickly took off the mask on her face, and made a silent gesture to Li Chengfeng.
"Don't make noise, I'm Gu Feng, the captain of the bad guys here in Ezhou, and now I suspect that Huachuan is doing some human tooth business."
"Every year, many men and women disappear mysteriously after boarding the ship. I came here to investigate."
"When I investigate clearly, you will be doing a great job, and you will definitely be rewarded by then."
The girl spoke with gusto, but the corners of Li Chengfeng's mouth gradually rose.
Bad people are not high-end officials, and they never accept women, let alone female captains.
However, he is indeed interested in the disappearance of the population that the girl said.
If, as Gu Feng said, population disappears every year, there may be something not so simple behind it.
Anyway, he had to leave Ezhou Mansion tomorrow, so it happened to investigate this matter thoroughly today.
"Okay! Shangguan must take care of the villain for a while!" Li Chengfeng pretended to be flattered, and said to the girl in front of him with a smile.
"Don't worry, you don't want to inquire about the reputation of bad people, we will definitely not let you get hurt."
Gu Feng slapped his chest confidently, with a very smug expression on his face.
The boat made by the two soon came to the side of the flower boat, and Gu Feng quickly put on the mask that had just been taken off.
"Remember to play by ear in a while, look at my gestures, don't act without authorization!"
…
When the two came to the side of the flower boat, a man in black immediately came up to them and held their boat.
"I also invite the two of you to board the boat. May you have a pleasant night tonight!"
Gu Feng immediately grabbed Li Chengfeng's hand, and the two walked onto the flower boat with a smile.
At this moment, the flower boat was filled with more than a dozen couples of young men and women. Each of their tables was filled with various warm rice wine, and there were maids serving them.
On the second floor of the flower boat, a woman in a bright red gold-plated robe and a gold silk mask is stroking the Yaoqin.
Coupled with the curling green smoke lingering on the cabin, the whole ship has some artistic conception.
However, Li Chengfeng sensed something was wrong, there was something wrong with the incense, it was mixed with ecstasy.
Looking carefully at the other young men and women on board, Li Chengfeng frowned even more.
Those people's eyes were slack, and UU's face turned pale, and it was obvious at a glance that they had been completely fascinated by the drug.
There was indeed a problem with this flower boat, and the man who greeted him just now was not an ordinary person but a warrior.
The purpose of these people gathering here to hold a flower boat is definitely not that simple, and there must be other things behind it.
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng slowly closed his five senses, pretending to be tricked, drinking one cup after another.
Seeing Li Chengfeng's appearance, Gu Feng quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, his eyes full of regret.
"It's a pity. I originally wanted to bring a smart person to act together."
"I didn't expect to be fascinated, and I can only rely on myself."
As she spoke, she got up slowly, pretending to be in a daze, and walked into the cabin.
"My lord, wait for me, I'll come over now..."
