Chapter 356: Boarding the ship
When Qiao Zhao and his party arrived at the wharf on the outskirts of Beijing, Shao Mingyuan was already waiting there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The young general was still wearing a light white robe, elegant and noble, and there was only one personal guard by his side.
The carriage stopped, and Chenguang jumped out of the carriage and showed a big smile in the direction where Shao Mingyuan was.
The curtain of the car door was lifted, and Binglu and Ah Zhu helped Qiao Zhao get out of the carriage.
"Tingquan, you're here early. Yang Houcheng stepped forward and happily patted Shao Mingyuan on the shoulder.
Shao Mingyuan smiled, and his eyes fell on Chi Can: "Shixi, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are a little darker." ”
During this time, Chi Can did not go to Chunfeng Mansion to find him for a drink, nor did he come to the Champion Hou Mansion, Shao Mingyuan faintly guessed that something unpleasant might have happened between his friend and Miss Li, but they didn't mention it, so he naturally wouldn't ask more.
Chi Can curled his lips and smiled: "Tingquan, you didn't expect me to go too, right?"
Shao Mingyuan nodded with a smile: "Indeed." He said and glanced at Yang Houcheng deeply.
Yang Houcheng knew that he was going, but the interesting thing was that Yang Er didn't mention to him that Chi Can was also in the escort team this time.
Yang Houcheng squeezed his eyes at Shao Mingyuan.
He didn't mean to hide it, it's not that Miss Li goes to the Champion Hou Mansion every day, Chi Can is afraid that you will reveal the news to Miss Li.
"Alright, let's get on the boat first. Yang Houcheng laughed twice.
It's all familiar people, and this trip to the south must be quite interesting.
Shao Mingyuan only brought Ye Luo here, Qiao Zhao brought two maids and Chenguang, and except for Yang Houcheng and Chi Can, who were the deputy captains of the escort team, they were all ordinary guards. Indeed, as Yang Houcheng said, everyone is familiar with it.
There was a huge merchant ship docked at the wharf, with a total of three floors, in addition to Qiao Zhao and these people, there were many passengers who were boarding the ship one after another, and many eyes were revolving around them at this time.
"Let's go, our room is on the top floor. Yang Houcheng waved his hand and stepped on the deck first.
Everyone was light and simple, except for the necessary change of clothes and other things, there was not much to do, Shao Mingyuan and the three of them cleaned up a little after getting on the boat, and then gathered in the hall with an open window on the top floor to talk.
Before the boat set sail, you could see the weeping willows on both sides of the pier and the surging river glittering golden under the morning sun.
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Chi Can, who was leaning against the window, knocked on the edge of the window with a folding fan, and said unhappily: "Why is he here too?"
"Who?" Yang Houcheng looked at it, his face was also not good-looking, and he scratched his head and said, "It's the thirteenth master of the Jinliang Guard, it's not good to look at it." ”
Shao Mingyuan glanced out the window and was indifferent.
"Look, that kid is on board. Yang Houcheng almost poked half of his body out.
Chi Can stretched out his hand and dragged him back, and said coolly, "Whatever." ”
"I just think it's a coincidence, we also met him when we came back from the south before, and we met him again on the south trip this time, it's really-"
"The ghost doesn't go away. Ji Chan spat out these four words.
Yang Houcheng nodded: "Yes, it's just that the ghost is not gone." ”
Shao Mingyuan held the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Each goes its own way, it has nothing to do with it." ”
As if sensing the gaze of being watched, Jiang Yuanchao, who came to the dock, suddenly raised his head, his eyes met with the three of them in mid-air, and he bent his lips and smiled.
"Smiling Tiger. Ji Chan lazily withdrew his gaze.
Although Jinliangwei's plasters are all dog skin plasters, as long as they don't stick them on him, they can barely bear it.
Yang Houcheng sighed: "I don't know why, as soon as I saw him, I suddenly felt that this trip was shrouded in a shadow." Come, let's have a drink for the three of us, and go to bad luck. ”
He didn't know when he had prepared the wine, so he bent down and picked up the flask and put it on the table, filling each of them with a glass.
The wine was clear and mellow, Chi Can took a sip of the wine Gu, but Shao Mingyuan did not move.
Yang Houcheng looked at him: "Tingquan, why don't you drink it?"
Tingquan used to drink very happily.
Shao Mingyuan stared at the wine Gu in front of him, and said calmly: "Miss Li won't let you drink it." ”
Chi Can glanced at him suddenly, his eyes inexplicable.
Yang Houcheng didn't notice the subtlety, and sighed regretfully: "Then it seems that only me and Shixi have a drink." Tingquan, I really can't see it, you're quite obedient. ”
Shao Mingyuan coughed twice suddenly, and glanced at Chi Can out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, his friend's face was already pale.
He sighed quietly in his heart.
It is a fact that Miss Li suggested that he should not drink in the near future, and he didn't want to hide it from his two friends, but Yang Er is adding to the chaos, and it is time to jump to his feet.
"Of course, listen to Miss Li, she is a doctor. Shao Mingyuan's eyes were clear and his expression was open.
Chi Can's complexion softened a little, his white jade-skinned fingers pinched the tea Gu, and he raised his head and drank it all.
The voice of the morning light came from outside the door: "General, the thirteenth master of the Jinliang Guard is here to visit." ”
"What is he doing here?" Chi Can put the wine Gu on the table, making a crisp crashing sound.
"That's right. Yang Houcheng set his eyes on the door.
Shao Mingyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Please come in, Lord Jiang." ”
Outside the hall, a man in a dark robe walked in, with a slender figure and a smile on the corner of his mouth. Just looking at the appearance, no one would have thought that this was the second only person to Jiang Tang in the Jinlan Guard that everyone feared.
"Master Hou. Jiang Yuan bowed his head at Shao Mingyuan, and then nodded at Chi Can and Yang Houcheng, "Master Chi, Yang Shizi." ”
"Master Jiang is also going south?" asked Shao Mingyuan.
"Yes. Jiang Yuanchao's gaze swept over the wine Gu placed in front of the three of them, and said with a smile, "The three of you are good Yaxing, I don't know if you can ask for a glass of water and wine to drink?"
Chi Can chuckled, leaned back against the window, and played with the wine Gu in his hand: "I'm sorry, the wine glass is not enough." ”
Jiang Yuanchao sat down disapprerovingly, glanced at Chi Can lightly, and then looked at Shao Mingyuan: "It's okay if you don't have wine to drink, please ask Master Hou to help me invite Miss Li out." ”
Chi Can sat up straight, with vigilance in his eyes: "What are you asking her to come out for?"
"It's inconvenient to tell Chi Gongzi about this. Jiang Yuanchao still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his attitude was very tough.
"Lord Jiang, please go back, it's our responsibility to protect Miss Li, but I don't want her to see a mess. ”
Chi Can's words did not have the slightest effect on Jiang Yuanchao, he crossed his slender ten fingers, and his tone was not shocked: "Would you like to see me, should you ask Miss Li herself what she meant?"
He glanced at Chi Can lightly and said with a smile: "Chi Gongzi also said that you are the one who escorts Miss Li, not the one who escorts Miss Li." When a visitor is visiting, she should always have the right to know, right?"
Before Chi Can could say more, Shao Mingyuan had already ordered: "Chenguang, go and invite Miss Li over." ”
Jiang Yuanchao sat with his back to the hall door, and after a while he heard the sound of light footsteps behind him, he suddenly felt a little stunned in his heart, and he forgot to turn around for a while.
