Seeing that Yu Chimu rented a boat, Qingying couldn't hide anymore, so he could only show up quickly.

"Pavilion Master. ”

Yu Chimu glanced at him, didn't say anything, and Qingying naturally followed on the boat.

Naturally, the boatman didn't say anything, this boat could have carried two people, and the money for renting a boat was not calculated in terms of heads, there was no difference between one and two.

Qing Ying knew that the Shadow Pavilion would be handed over to the Emperor this time, in fact, the twelve Shadows already knew about it, and they all secretly decided to leave the Shadow Pavilion because of this, and from now on only belong to the prince's secret guards, and no longer belong to the organization of the Shadow Pavilion.

But they have this determination, but they are still worried about the situation of the prince, for fear that the emperor will not be satisfied with getting the Shadow Pavilion, and it will be dangerous for the prince to go back this time.

Qingying held back a lot of things to say, but unfortunately there was still a boatman on this boat, and looking at the appearance of the prince, it seemed that he didn't want to deal with him......

The speed of the boatman is not slow, but the speed of this kind of canopy boat is still limited, even so, at least it is a straight line, faster than riding a horse to the canal ferry, the most important thing is that Wei Chimu is not sure about his physical condition, compared with taking a boat, it takes too much physical strength to ride a horse, and his current condition is difficult to say whether he will faint on the side of the road in two days.

And riding a horse could not make him think about the problems after returning to Yasukuni, and these were the main reasons why he abandoned his horse and chose to go back by boat. Otherwise, with his previous peak state, riding a horse and making light efforts, and returning to Yasukuni from Huancheng, maybe four days would be enough.

An hour later, we came to the nearest canal crossing. This ferry port is not small, and it can berth more than a dozen large ships.

Official ships do not travel very often, but there are more merchant ships, and there are more than a dozen large and small ships traveling on the canal every day, some of them go back and forth between the Shengxing Dynasty and Yasukuni, and some of them are simply within the borders of the country.

As soon as he got off the canopy boat, Qingying consciously went to find someone to contact, since he didn't want to get rid of this tail before, now Captain Chi Mu naturally won't leave deliberately. Although he can use his identity as the pavilion master to order Qingying not to follow him anymore, but there is no need, because he knows that Xiao Man will definitely catch up when he wakes up, and when he enters the palace to face the saint, he has to rely on Qing Ying to stop Xiao Man.

After a while, Qingying found a merchant ship carrying medicinal herbs, which was the fastest merchant ship here to go to Yasukuni, and it would set sail in a quarter of an hour, even so, it would take six days to reach Yasukuni at the earliest, because the merchant ship had to dock every two days for half a day to supply daily necessities and ingredients, but this was already the shortest schedule except for the official ship.

Boarding the boat, Wei Chimu calmed down, and then began to think about the problem after returning to the palace. It is easier for people who have been emperors to understand the emperor's mentality, especially Wei Chijing, who taught him by hand. So the situation is still under his control, but he can't help but feel sad about Wei Chijing's younger brother for his defense and distrust.

On the other end, Chi Xiaoman and Ji Min rushed out of Huan City, and Ji Min could tell which direction they were going from the marks left by Qingying at first, but soon they couldn't find any marks.

Coming to a three-way road, an official road, a mountain road and another path leading to a small ferry, Ji Minzhi stopped and looked for a while, and said impatiently: "I didn't find the mark left by Qingying, if it wasn't for the death order issued by the pavilion master, they were also in a hurry......"

"It's okay, take that path. "I'm actually quite familiar with Chi Xiaoman near Huancheng.

In order to escape from the palace back then, she did a lot of homework and read the geography of the Shengxing Dynasty, so she chose Huancheng, the second largest city, to open Xiangmanlou, and several roads leading to other counties in the suburbs of Xiangmanlou were naturally within the scope of her attention.

Naturally, it is necessary to consider factors such as geographical location, transportation convenience, and so on.

So she knew very well that she would go out from every gate, and the roads that connected her would lead to each place.

"That way...... It seems to be leading to the ferry, and the princess is going to go back by water, but this is just a small ferry...... "Ji Minzhi, as a member of the Shadow Pavilion, is naturally familiar with this.

"Well, by water, this little ferry can be connected to the canal, let's talk about it when we get to the canal ferry. Xiao Man did not hesitate, and rode his horse there first.

"It's not necessarily fast to take the canal and waterway, is it? When we came, it took us less than six days to travel by land. Ji Minzhi stepped forward and said.

Chi Xiaoman smiled slightly, "But don't forget, we can't eat enough and sleep well on the road, we can only catch up with such a fast road for Mu's safety, and now we have only been resting for less than a day, let me catch up with the journey of five or six days, that is, I will catch up with Mu, I am afraid that I will faint with him." ”

"Oh, the princess is not worried about the princess?" "Who is it that is so anxious to go out of the city and want to catch up?"

"Naturally, I was worried, but just now I figured it out, Mu just wanted to go back to solve the problem by himself, not to rush back to Yasukuni, he must also know that his body is not suitable for riding a horse for a long time, especially to hurry, so if you don't ride a horse, the best thing is to take a horse, but the carriage should be comfortable, not to mention that it is more troublesome to find, even if you use a carriage to rush, it will never be comfortable, then it is better to take a boat, which will not be slower than a carriage, but also much more comfortable and convenient. Xiao Man said very calmly at this time.

I want to understand that Wei Chimu left her to return to Yasukuni alone for their leisurely life in the future, since it is for her, then he will not toss his body, he must abandon the land route and take the water route.

She was in a hurry to come to him because she was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it because of the hurry, but now that she has no worries, then she is not in a hurry!

"But what if the prince doesn't take the waterway? What if he still rides a horse? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?" Ji Minzhi frowned, and the confusion in his mind was still a bunch.

"Huh...... Whether it's by water or not, I'll find out later by asking the boatman over there. Xiaoman is very confident and does not doubt his judgment at all.

Ji Minzhi thought about it, anyway, he couldn't catch up with people right now, so if he was wrong, he would catch up with the princess again!

Soon arrived at the ferry, which was just a small ferry, and some canopy boats were parked to take people across the river.

Chi Xiaoman and Ji Minzhi asked separately, and sure enough, there were a few boatmen who were very impressed by Yu Chimu and Qingying, mainly because Yu Chimu's appearance was too eye-catching, handsome and noble, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance, and it was especially easy for people to remember.

Xiao Man replied to Ji Minzhi with a smug look, and then asked Ji Minzhi to hire a boat and go to the nearest canal ferry.
