In the kitchen, I saw that the shopkeeper had prepared my belongings, and my interest was raised a little more.

I figured that at least I could get some food on the boat to make the journey to the Northland feel less difficult!

With the tools in my hand, I suddenly thought of the fact that Tianfang had sent the cook away, and I was still a little unhappy!

Changed my mind, I decided not to make a move for the time being, and I had to let him work hard for a while before he could make sense!

At night, the mist rises on the surface of the river, accompanied by the cold wind blowing in the face, which makes people shiver.

I was at the bow of the boat, watching the waves on the water, and I didn't realize that I had been there for a long time, and by the time I reacted, my whole body was about to freeze.

Turning around and approaching the cabin, the moment the curtain was lifted, the aroma of the food was smelled.

It's a familiar smell of home-cooked food that can only be eaten at home.

Tianfang sat at the table and saw me come in, and looked at me with clear and bright eyes.

I sat across from him, and after a while, he reached out and took a small box from his bosom and placed it in front of me.

"What is it?" When my eyes came into contact with the box, I was slightly stunned, and instead of opening it, I looked at Tianfang and asked.

I can't fathom the thoughts in my heart, and sometimes I inevitably worry that there is nothing to do, and there are still tricks waiting for me.

"Haven't you always wanted to see the baby that the master gave you?"

Tianfang looked at me for a moment, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked with a smile.

The baby that the master gave me? I was stunned for a moment before I reacted!

From the first time he entered the palace. I've been looking forward to it, and I've been asking him for so much to no avail. "I can give it to you now."

Without the slightest preparation, I thought that the senior brother would continue to hide the treasure that the master gave me. It didn't take him a moment to get on the boat, and he delivered the answer to me.

My curiosity was finally answered at this moment.

Excited, I lowered my head and opened the box with my own hands, and when I saw the contents inside, my eyes widened, and then I looked at the sky.

He smiled and said, "Little junior sister, I know that you have always wanted to learn the disguise technique. It's not just simple tricks that you want to learn, but I want to at least show you this before you can decide. Isn't it? ”

The hull of the boat swayed slightly, and I could hear the sound of the river lapping against the bottom of the boat.

The cabin was silent, only me sat facing each other from Tianfang, and I lost the ability to speak for a moment

The dish was sandwiched in front of me. Same as last time in the restaurant. He always likes to do such things, but he himself can hardly use his chopsticks.

"Little junior sister, get on the boat from here, all the way to Suzhou, you can try my craft."

I lowered my eyelashes and silently ate a few bites of my brother's cooking, a few home-cooked dishes, which are my favorite tastes. It's as delicious as I imagined, and even better than what I could eat at Mei Senkaku.

Because that time it was a cold dish. I worked so hard for so long to live up to his efforts and tried to eat it, and this time it was freshly cooked in front of me.

The two are compared together, and they are tasted with the same mouth, and the high and low are clearly displayed.

"You can still catch some fresh river food in the river," Tianfang looked at me and smiled, "You can try it tomorrow, but it will be more rare after Suzhou, because the further north you go, the colder it will be." ”

"When I arrived in the Northland, even fresh vegetables were rare in winter, and many vegetables could only be stored in cellars."

Tianfang and I had a conversation with each other, and my heart moved, I looked at him and asked, "Senior brother wants to change to the land route halfway, because in the near north, the river will freeze!" “

Tianfang nodded and said, "That's the plan." “

After dinner, I walked to the stern, the accompanying guards cleaned up the table, and several people gathered in the bow of the boat to talk, and no one came to disturb me.

A few of them deliberately moved out of the way, and Tianfang talked to me at the stern of the boat.

The river is open, and you can occasionally see boats moored on the shore. "Little junior sister, this section is relatively deserted, and when you get to the vicinity of Suzhou, there will be more boats on the river."

Tianfang's eyes moved, and he said in a calm tone: "I went there a few years ago and stayed for a few days. ”

He paused as if to remember what had happened in the past, and I didn't interrupt him to wait for him to pick him up. "When you arrive at the boundary of Suzhou, you should be cautious once it is lively, don't just hang around outside the cabin if you have nothing to do, stay inside and don't go out."

Tianfang did not describe his experience in Suzhou to me a few years ago, but said a few words of reminder. "Senior brother, I want to see the map of Sealand." After thinking about it for a while, I still made a request to Tianfang.

I guess he's going to accompany me to the Northlands, and I'm sure there's a detailed map on board.

Without waiting for me to continue, Tianfang stood up, walked in the direction of the inner cabin, turned around and beckoned: "Little junior sister, if you want to see it, come along." “

On this large ship, he divided the cabins into several compartments, and he and the guards lived on either side, and the separate partition room in the middle was specially prepared for me.

At first glance, it looks similar to my temporary home in Mei Xian Court.

Of course, the map would not be placed on my place, but I followed the sky to the room where he lived, and on the table on the side, there was a map spread out.

When I was alone outside the cabin thinking about my thoughts, Tianfang should be here to consult the map and see the route we walked.

As I expected, there should be a few others to discuss with him.

This is the benefit of the waterway, which is completely different from the land route.

If I was on land, even if they wanted to avoid me to discuss something, they would not be able to leave me with one or two guards.

But it's much better on the river, and the safety factor is high, so even if I am left alone on the outboard deck, I don't have to worry about danger. "Little junior sister, there is a mark on it, it is the place we will go to in a few days," Tianfang pointed to a place on the map to show me, "It is Suzhou that I mentioned to you several times in the past few days." “

I looked down at the map. At this moment, Suzhou is just a small point on the map, but I have already learned from the conversation between the owner of the winery and Tianfang that it is a small city, and the small scale is a place worth mentioning on the way to Beidi.

With this premise, in. It is very easy to understand why the empress ordered someone to deliberately arrange and prepare carefully for someone to go to the Northland, but compared with the national capital, the gap is too big.

I glanced sideways at the sky and said, "I heard that the fief that the empress gave to that princess was excellent, why is the focus of the dispute not over there." Rather, in the area at the very edge of the fiefdom. “

In my opinion, what is there to fight for in that area of the Northland? Could it be that there are some details that I don't know.

Tianfang looked at me and said with deep eyes: "Little junior sister." You and I are both outsiders, and although I know some, I am not exhaustive. ”

"Even if I tell you all those hearsay rumors, you won't understand it for a while. Let's wait a few more days. Maybe you can find some doorways and hear something inside. “

"Senior brother!" I glanced at him dissatisfied, the most annoying trait of this person came again, that is, he said half of everything, and he liked to sell off, which made the hearts of those who heard it go up and down.

"What are you worried about?!" Tian Fang glanced at me for a long time and said, "No matter how hard they fight, they won't be able to meet for a while." It's still a long time on the road. ”

He said in a calm tone, "You don't have to worry. ”

As the night wore on, the conversation between the two guards could be heard outside the hatch.

Tianfang is discussing things with me. After hearing this, he pointed his finger and whispered to me: "Little junior sister, I'll go see what's going on, it's not early, you go back and rest." ”

I stood up and walked to the rear cabin, and when I passed the door in the middle partition, Tianfang called out to me: "It's cold at night on the river, don't go to the stern of the boat if you have nothing to do, in case it freezes, we will have to stop." "It's delaying, and you don't want to see it."

It was easy to change into the men's clothes that were wrapped around the outside, but it took me a full quarter of an hour to clean up the "disguise" on my face, and I also used a potion specially prepared by Tianfang.

I thought to myself that such a cumbersome procedure must be very sad, but fortunately, I should not need to try again in the future.

Take out the box from your arms, put it on the table under the light and take a closer look, the master is the master, I knew that there was such a good thing, and I didn't take it out to me earlier.

At this moment, I don't know where my master is!

Lying on the chuang in the cabin, I looked at the top without blinking, still thinking about the map I saw at my brother's residence.

The map in Tianfang's hand was too simple, and when I arrived in Suzhou, I tried to find a more detailed map after thinking about whether I could go ashore.

Because the area of the Northland is relatively special, it seems that it is difficult to understand it in detail based on the existing drawings in his hand.

I rummaged several times on the bunk, and I heard a small movement outside, so I must have informed them about it.

I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep

When the morning sun penetrated into the cabin, I woke up to the fact that the ship had been heading north.

I have been on a night flight all night, and I don't know where I have arrived at the moment.

I went out of my lodgings and walked to the hatch near the bow deck, where all the conversations I heard were coming from.

Looking out through the crack in the door, there were not only the two guards standing at the bow of the boat, but also the boss of the ship, who had been silent, and the three of them gathered together and spoke softly.

My gaze only skimmed over them, and I was drawn to the beauty of the winter morning on the river.

After looking at it for a while, I saw that occasionally ships passed by, and the river in front of me was more open than the area where I sailed yesterday.

I didn't want to disturb the three of them to discuss things, so I went in the direction of the stern, and although I knew that they must have known about my actions, it was not the same thing to go out and say hello and avoid it.

Near the stern of the boat, Tianfang was sitting there, and there were a few live fish in the wooden basin beside him, which looked like they had just been caught from the river.

He heard the footsteps and turned to look at me, his gaze frozen.

"Little junior sister, there is breakfast in the kitchen, you go to drink a bowl of porridge and come over to talk after cooking, it's too cold here."

I thought to myself, I didn't feel that cold, maybe he had been fishing in the stern of the boat for a long time

On the kitchen table, I saw a breakfast specially prepared for me, a casserole with a slight white steam, a pot of fresh white porridge in it, and a few plates of side dishes on the table to accompany the porridge.

I had a pleasant breakfast in the kitchen, and I felt even warmer, and when I walked to the stern, I saw that there were two more fish in the wooden basin next to Tianfang.

"Senior brother, one more fish is enough, there are five of us in total, and I'm afraid we won't be able to finish eating one each."

"That's you!" Tianfang looked back at me and smiled, "Do you know how much food those people at the bow of the boat have?" ”

"What else do you say?" I walked back and moved a small stool out, sat next to Tianfang, turned my head to look at him and said, "Not only did you prepare dinner for me last night, but you also made their share by the way, right?" ”

"Do you regret that you didn't bring out the cook that the treasurer of the capital city arranged for you?"

I smiled and looked at Tianfangdao, people were kind, but he refuted face.

"It's weird!" Tianfang Liang glanced at me and said, "I only cook what you eat, where will I help them cook." ”

I think about it, too, I didn't think much about it before, and the difference in identity is there.

Tianfang put down the fishing rod, looked at me and said with a smile: "After being separated for a while, I finally have some harvest in the palace, at least my hair will be taken care of." ”

My face turned red suddenly, mainly because Qingzhi taught them well, and the girls in the palace all like to dress up, and they are better than before after seeing more, and they can finally make a hairstyle that makes people look good.

"Senior brother, have you still placed people in Suzhou?" I didn't want to dwell on this topic, so I turned my head and couldn't help but ask Tianfang.

"How so?" He stared at me.

"Isn't that your usual style? Wherever I go to do things, there is always a foreshadowing arranged by the advance team, and I don't meet it all once, but I'm used to it. ”

I subconsciously complained about him.

"Suzhou, I originally planned that someone would go first," Tianfang did not deny, "but something happened in the south, the people originally sent were rerouted halfway, and the people who were originally sent were diverted halfway, plus the mobilization of people from the sea country, it was not so fast for a while, so I will disappoint you for the time being." ”

The focus of my attention suddenly shifted, and I hurriedly asked him, "Is the south side of Sealand also your contact point?" What happened? “

It must not be a trivial matter for him to mobilize all the people to rush over.

Tianfang looked at me, turned his head and said, "Little junior sister, why are you asking so much." "Put on a girl's clothes and look like a girl."

I glanced at him nonchalantly. "Go to the cabin to read a book, or look at a map," Tianfang arranged for me directly, "No matter how bad it is, it's okay to be a little girly, there are things prepared in the cabinet." "When it's noon, there's fish soup to drink," he frowned, "don't interrupt me here, I have something to do." (To be continued......)
