Maybe it’s because after accompanying Gu Ping across the river this time, too many things happened, some tragic and some lucky, so there were also too many sorrows and surprises rushing towards me, leaving me a little at a loss. But,

When I heard Pei Yuanxiu say "go back", my heart still twitched slightly.

Go back...

Over the years, there is no place that reminds me of the word "return". It seems that no matter where I go or how long I stay, I am still unfamiliar.

The home I once had, the place I could "go back" to, was not on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

But——

I raised my head and looked at Pei Yuanxiu, who still had a gentle smile on his face, and said: "You won't get addicted to staying here, right? Haha, although it is good here, it is not suitable for you to recuperate. We still have to go back.

If you like it here, I can come with you again in the future. Don’t you want to see Li’er earlier?”

Li'er, this name is like a magic spell for me.

No matter how big the matter is at the moment, or how many worries I have in my heart, it is not more important than being able to see Li'er.

I thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly.

No matter what, let’s meet Li’er first and then talk.

However, early the next morning, I had already finished dressing up. Because I had to go out today and was afraid of strong wind outside, the attendant brought me a curtain hat, which was more reliable than just covering my face with a thin layer of white gauze.

I took it and put it on the table, and then I heard Pei Yuanxiu gently knocking on the open door and walking in.

He smiled and said: "Get up so early."

I stood up: "Sir, I'm afraid the boat will leave early."

"It's okay. Let's have breakfast. It's almost time." After saying that, he waved his hands, and immediately several maids came in and were about to serve the meal. Another attendant hurriedly walked in from outside. When he saw Pei Yuanxiu, he knelt down: "

Young Master."

"What's the matter?"

"It's foggy on the river today, and the wind is very strong. The waves in one section of the water are very strong, so it's not suitable to cross the river by boat."

When I heard this, I felt a thump in my heart, but after thinking about it, I didn't say anything and just looked at Pei Yuanxiu.

In fact, the Yangtze River is very wide, and the conditions in different water bodies are completely different. In the past, the waterway used by officials to cross the river was relatively gentle, and there were no deep ravines at the bottom of the river, so it was not easy to form whirlpools. But since Pei Yuanxiu blocked the flow of traffic on the river, official

The channel used is only used by warships to cross the river. I have made two trips back and forth in the past few days, both of which were crossing another body of water. The current is more rapid and takes more time.

What the person just said was the situation in that water area.

I turned my head and looked out the window. It was not a hazy weather outside. In such weather, if we took the normal channel to cross the river, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Thinking of this, I glanced at Pei Yuanxiu again. He still didn't speak and only asked the attendant to serve the food.

His diet was relatively light, but he seemed to care about me, and the people in the kitchen were not careless. There was still a large table of various exquisite side dishes. I had just sat down when a bowl of very soft millet porridge was delivered to me.

on the hand.

He said softly: "Eat this to nourish your stomach."

I nodded my thanks, took it and took a sip with a spoon. I drank the warm porridge, which made my stomach feel warm and comfortable. He also took a bowl and drank it slowly. There was only one bowl left on the table.

The chopsticks made a very soft sound, and the surrounding area became quiet for a while.

After a while, the bowl of porridge had reached the bottom. I was just about to put down the bowl and chopsticks when I reached out with one hand and took away the empty bowl. Pei Yuanxiu filled me another half bowl: "Drink a little more."

I thought for a while and said: "I drank too much and I'm afraid I'll faint on the boat."

He glanced at me, was silent for a while, and then smiled and said: "It's okay. Let's rest for a while and then get on the boat."

"Okay."

I smiled and nodded, took the bowl obediently, and drank the half bowl of porridge.

After breakfast, Pei Yuanxiu said a few words and went out. I stayed in the annex and had nothing to do. I felt a little bored. Fortunately, Mr. Yao came over, checked my pulse and looked at my complexion, and said with a smile:

"Not bad, not bad."

I carefully touched my still swollen face with the back of my hand, and said with a smile: "I just hope that Li'er can recover before she comes back. She is so young, and it is her first time to see my mother, so I don't want to treat her so badly."

impression."

"Then you have to be more careful." Yao Lao said while packing his medicine bag: "Don't be so cruel to yourself, think more about yourself and your children."

As I listened, I seemed to feel that there was something behind his words, and I wanted to ask, but as soon as I thought about it, I stopped asking.

Just at this time, Pei Yuanxiu walked in and said: "We are ready, let's go."

Along the way, the carriage was driving slowly and slowly. As the carriage swayed, the curtains beside it also swayed.

Gu Ping kept looking outside.

He was still very calm. Apart from me asking him one or two questions and him answering, he said nothing more. I remembered his crisp and impulsive voice when we first met not long ago, but now, there is only silence.

, can’t help but make me a little sad.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before I heard the sound of gurgling water coming from ahead.

When the carriage stopped, we got off the carriage and immediately saw the vast river in front of us, with vast smoke and strong winds and waves. They beat against the bank and stirred up water splashes as high as a person. They dispersed in the air with the wind. I wore a hat on my head.

The curtain hat had fine white gauze hanging from the sides, blocking the water droplets in the air. Gu Ping was not so lucky. He hurriedly reached out to touch his face, and it was already a mess.

I took out a handkerchief from my sleeve and handed it to him carefully.

Gu Ping glanced at me, thanked me in a low voice, took it and wiped his face. At this time, Pei Yuanxiu also came to my side, held my shoulders and said, "You have to be more careful while wearing a curtain hat."<

/p>

I nodded: "I understand."

This is the official pier. Different from the simple ferry that crossed the river before, the embankment here is very strong. I think it used to be a gathering place for business and trade with people coming and going, but now it seems extremely quiet. Only a few of us are standing there.

On the pier. On the river, a huge black shadow penetrated the mist and slowly approached us. It wasn't until we got in front of us that we saw a tall ship.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

This is the boat that Pei Yuanxiu asked them to prepare to cross the river.

I followed them onto the boat, which was very comfortable. Pei Yuanxiu insisted that I go back to the warehouse to rest. He only said that I had just detoxified, and the fatigue of traveling and traveling had already damaged my vitality. I should rest more, but I couldn't.

I could only listen to him and went into the warehouse to sit for a while.

However, after all, I have slept too much these past few days, especially with Jiangnan Bank in my mind, and I couldn’t rest quietly. When I heard the sound of sailing outside, I put on a hat with layers of white gauze hanging around it, and carefully

and walked out.

There were not many people on the plywood, only a few attendants were busy going back and forth. When they saw me, they all came over to say hello. I just waved my hand and let them go about their business. I didn’t need anyone to serve me, so I held the railing alone and looked ahead.

scenery.

The river is very wide. When such a large ship is launched into the water, it seems to be nothing more than a piece of floating vegetation in the rough waves. People standing on it seem to be safe, but in fact, such safety is like a mist. After the strong wind and waves pass,

, what can be left behind?

The boat was not moving very fast, so it slowly turned around, and after driving for a while, it finally reached the center of the river. The wind became stronger and stronger, blowing away the mist that filled the air. Through the layers of white gauze around the curtain, I saw

I vaguely saw the huge shadow in front of me.

That is the naval camp constructed on the south bank!

I cautiously took a few steps closer to the bow of the ship, which actually couldn't bring me any closer to the camp. However, the wind blew away the fog and the ship slowly moved toward the shore, and I could already see the outline of the entire camp.<

/p>

When I saw it clearly, I couldn't help but gasp.

I have seen many military defense formations in my life, but many of them are exquisite and magnificent, and the water army camp in front of me is the best among them. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, looking forward and backward, then taking and retreating.

While guarding, everything was unstable, there were doors for entry and exit, and twists and turns. I carefully lifted up a piece of hat on the brim.

A piece of white gauze is staring ahead. Although most of it is hidden in the mist, you can vaguely see the two towering gates of the water army camp to the north. Warships pass through them unimpeded, looking like ships. The inside of the camp is listed as a city wall.

There are several more village gates to the south, containing countless small boats, which come and go in an orderly manner.

I subconsciously held on to the wooden railing.

Such an exquisitely laid out camp takes a long time to lay out, and the wisdom of many people, plus construction and control, is not a simple process.

No wonder Shen Gongye caused so much trouble in the first place.

The boat was not traveling very fast, but it was still approaching the shore in front of it very quickly along the river. The closer it was, the clearer it could be seen. Countless soldiers in the camp were still training, and they could faintly hear what was going on inside.

The shouts and shouts make the tigers and tigers powerful.

This is obviously no ordinary defensive camp.

The more I looked, the heavier I felt. My other hand subconsciously took out something from my arms.

It's the brocade bag Qinghan gave me before I left the capital.

Although I have opened it countless times and seen it countless times, I feel that he actually wanted me to open it at this time. There are not many things inside, just a piece of white silk, and the same thing as when I went for spring hunting in the Juma Valley.

The three tips Fu Badai gave me are similar, but this time, they are not corresponding strategies.

The calligraphy on the white silk was elegant and graceful. I recognized it at a glance as Fu Badai's handwriting. Qinghan's handwriting was not bad, but he became a monk halfway. No matter how good his handwriting was, he was only average. No matter how distinguished he was, Fu Badai could not.

The words are like his people. Even if they are blind, they can still see some truth behind the fog through thousands of mountains and rivers.
