Chapter 63: The Boat of Friendship
& The boat went all the way north. "Words * love * first * hair
The people in the cabin were so busy that their whole body and mind were immersed in the booklet.
The guards stood on the deck and glanced out at the river as the fog gradually lifted.
After a while, another guard, who had been staring at the "tail" in the back, immediately walked over.
As expected, the ship always kept a certain distance behind and never left.
As they sailed on the river, the boat they were in accelerated, and the boat behind them also accelerated.
At this moment, it has come out of a canyon in the north channel of the southern city of Zealand.
Although it is not as dangerous as the rapids and wind and rain when going south, it is also risky to sail on the river when the night fog is thick.
It wasn't until the boat sailed out of the canyon that the boss at the helm breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing the faint sound of conversation outside the cabin, the ship's boss silently calculated the distance to the next stop in his heart.
According to their speed at this time, if they are a qiē shun lì, they should be able to reach it at noon tomorrow
The fog cleared a bit, and the ship continued on its way.
Except for the canyon, the river is open, and the speed of both boats is much faster than before.
Several of the guards who accompanied the ship, guarding the "lord" in the cabin, saw that the condition of the river was better at this moment, and they all gathered on the deck.
Of course, they didn't forget the "tail" that followed by jì.
Several people were paying attention to this scene, and their eyes swept over the boat that always followed on the river behind them, and every once in a while, there would be guards to inspect the stern.
The second half of the night. The pigeon, with a note tied to its leg, stretched its wings and flew into the air, along the river in the direction of the north. Fly towards the next stop.
The next stop is the place where they are about to meet Tianfang, the next stop dock to the north of the South City of Zealand.
The pigeon that was just released was a tool used by the ship's guards to transmit messages between them and the heavenly release.
Before dawn, the news here can be passed on to the next stop, Tianfang, where he will stop and rest, and inform him.
In this way, the Lord can prepare in advance, and the guards can be regarded as completing the task accepted by this station
Watch as the pigeon disappears into the distance. The guards who released the flight were relieved.
The river breeze was blowing, and the guard stood on the deck and continued to stare for a moment, he looked in the direction in which the pigeon had disappeared. After making sure that he had flown far away and had not looked back, he turned back into the cabin.
His companions were waiting there.
The two men took a step closer and spoke.
"Is the Lord on his way in the mountains right now?" The guard who walked into the cabin glanced at his companion waiting and asked in a low voice.
A look of worry flashed across his face.
"If you see the fog on the river, it must be in the mountains. The Lord led people to drive at night, and I don't know what the road conditions are? ”
The guard glanced in the direction of the inner cabin. It was quiet and there was no sound coming out.
Since the departure of the ship, only the guards have delivered tea and snacks once.
The people in the cabin had no requirements, and their only pastime was to look intently at the book that the Lord had given him.
The fake "Lord", that is, Mr. Bai, the drama idiot in the troupe, has not moved a single step since he got on the boat.
Everyone saw his move.
The companion looked at the direction of his gaze and said with emotion: "Anyone who is fascinated by a matter is like this. ”
The guard hesitated for a moment, then answered, "Including our lord." Little Master"
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped hard by his companion next to him. Vigilantly stopped talking.
"You still don't have a long memory," said his companion through gritted teeth and lowered his voice, "I've reminded you many times that the affairs of the Lord are not something we can discuss casually. ”
The man looked out of the cabin with a sneering expression, then withdrew his gaze and looked at his companion again.
He glanced at his companion puzzled and said, "You say, how did the Lord know that someone would follow him along the waterway?"
"When I was in the courtyard of the house in the south of Zealand, the Lord began to make arrangements."
In fact, if you push forward, it can be traced back to the earlier times, when the sky was prepared for a rainy day and arranged in advance.
The guards still have some unanswered questions in their hearts.
It just so happened that my companion was here, and there weren't so many people.
The rest of the companions were watching from place to place, some staring at the stern, some staring at the impostor outside the hatch, and some had gone to ask the captain about it.
Everyone has something to do, and the one who can solve his questions when he is idle is the person in front of him, and the guards plan to take the opportunity to ask them clearly.
You can't talk about those things, at least there's something else to talk about!
"Could it be that in the southern city of Zealand, our people have leaked the news?"
The guard frowned as he spoke, unintentionally making an association.
He looked at his companion and said, "The Lord's notice to arrange the ships is all done quietly and secretly, who is the news so fast?" ”
"Then you don't need to ask, it must be someone who is staring at the southern city of Zealand."
The companion said disapprerovingly: "They can all set fire to Nancheng, what else can't be done." ”
"The matter of arranging the boat, although it is carried out secretly, but the dock in West Lannan is just such a place."
The companion paused, stared at him and continued: "You and I both know very well, as long as you deliberately put someone to keep an eye on it, let alone a person, even if it is a bird, it will be seen when it flies out." ”
"What's more, our ship has been replaced once, and the movement is even greater."
When the companion said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I always feel that when the lord meets that son, it is indeed a chess opponent!" ”
"Who?"
"You're talking about the city of the national capital," the guard suddenly changed his face and said, "You are faster than me, what does this mean, isn't the fire in Nancheng also related to him?" ”
"No, we've worked with people in the national capital, I don't understand why he went all the way to arrange people in the south of Xilan."
"Wait!" The guards seemed to have thought of something, and for a moment they were enlightened. "Is it because of this?"
"Because of the little teacher," he paused, looking at his companion with a shocked expression.
"You're really sluggish enough, otherwise why would the Lord divide the army into two ways?"
The companion shook his head. looked at the guard and said helplessly: "You are joking as the master!" ”
"How do we arrange it when we get to the next stop?" The guard finally cleared his mind and looked at his companion and asked.
"The Lord told him before he left, and the companion in the cabin pouted, "and when he arrives at the next station, he will have to take care of him and change ships to the sea country." ”
"This is what the Lord told the people of the troupe before I came."
More than one of the several guards on the ship was clear about this.
"This is still the pillar of the family. You have to be a little more generous. ”
Mr. Bai is indeed the mainstay of the troupe.
The guard's tone was a little urgent: "What I'm asking is what we will do next, not that idiot!" ”
"It's just to tell us to be restless. The boat line will go to the next stop first. “
The companion calmly answered: "When we get to the shore and see the Lord, we will naturally have the next plan." ”
"Why are you in a hurry?"
He glanced at the guard.
"According to you, will that little junior sister be?"
The guards looked at him. Shaking his head, he said depressedly: "I still can't figure it out." ”
"If you want to do it. It's not too much trouble to travel thousands of miles. “
A blank look flashed on the guard's face: "Why didn't they do it when they were in the national capital city as early as the time?" ”
As soon as the words fell, his companion stared at him and said unhappily: "Are you thinking that the other party didn't grasp the right time to come to us for trouble?" ”
"Hey, I said where you go!"
The guard hurriedly explained, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't mean that, I just thought that the other party would definitely find it." ”
"You said that the Lord can hide from their group of followers once, but the strategy can't be used repeatedly!"
The companion responded to him in a very firm tone: "Don't worry about this, it's that time that you are fighting for." Just procrastinate. ”
I was in a ruined temple with my boy.
I decided I had to ask about the conversation he had with Uncle alone in the morning.
The question in my heart is now only he can answer a thing or two, and there is no reliable person around.
I miss spending time with someone!
I know there's an inside story about the route. The boy had never revealed the details before, and I just followed him through the mountains.
However, even if the words came to my lips, I was eager to ask, but it seemed that I could only wait for a moment.
Because the boy has something to do, he starts to get busy!
When we left the ruined temple and ran to the strangers, the fire on the ground was extinguished before we could go.
At this point, I will return to my original position with him, and naturally I will have to rekindle the good handy.
As soon as the boy started to do things, he immediately seemed to be quite idle.
Because here he alone is enough, and I can't help me with anything.
This kind of feeling, embarrassment is about to be committed!
So I thought about it, turned around and walked to the back, the heavy rain had not yet fallen, and I couldn't find a container in the ruined temple, so I had to fill the water bladder I had brought with me.
I miss the pot that foodie Wu Yu carried with me.
If I'm around at this time, I can make good use of it!
The smell of fish gradually wafted from the main hall, and as I passed through the backyard, I saw the tsundere boy concentrating on setting up a rack by the fire to grill fish.
The dark clouds pressed lower, and a muffled thunder rolled through.
The long-awaited heavier rain than expected came belatedly and finally fell.
The raindrops were extremely imposing, smashing on the trees outside the broken temple, like the sound of iron hooves.
For a moment, I had the illusion that thousands of troops were galloping from afar!
I walked to the window and looked into the distance.
If I hadn't found a place to shelter from the rain, such a heavy rain would have come in the mountains, and I would have been very wolf when I walked on the road with the boy!
I lowered my head and thought silently.
Now that I've figured out some of the inside story, the situation is at least a little clearer than when I first entered the mountain.
I know that the teenager is definitely more familiar with this area than I am, I can be sure of that.
"Xiaoling," behind me, the young man suddenly called me in a low voice.
I turned my head to look at him, then glanced at the fire.
He beckoned to me, and I walked over and sat down at the fire in the clean place I had cleaned up before, staring at him fixedly.
I know, he must have something to say.
"Xiaoling, what do you think of their previous deal?"
The boy asked in a deep voice, his eyes still focused on the improvised shelf he had built by his own hands beside the fire, from where the aroma emanated.
The aroma spread, and soon spread throughout the main hall.
It was supposed to be a quiet place, but a heavy rain prevented us from stopping us.
I made eye contact with the boy but didn't answer him, still thinking about the whole process of being traded by two groups of people on the mountain road just now.
As I said, I'll pay extra attention to the details.
When the boy asked, I naturally wanted to talk to him, but it was not as urgent as the route I wanted to know.
So I was silent for a few seconds, and immediately asked him, "What did you talk to Uncle about when you left in the morning?" “
I looked at the boy, paused, and continued, "Is it about the terrain of this area or details that I don't know?" ”
The most surprising thing about me from start to finish was that the carriage was able to get to where we were.
This is very unreasonable, the route I walked with the teenager was simply a thorn and thorn, and many places were extremely difficult to walk.
Well, even if he doesn't know the terrain in this area, but the uncle specially found him and told him, wouldn't he mention a word?
At least when he asked me to choose, he didn't say anything about the detailed road conditions in this area!
He only said that one side was closer, close to Huya Village, although the road was difficult to walk, but it saved time, so I gladly followed.
Until now, it's hard for me to understand what he meant.
The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at me, and then the corners of his lips curled and asked, "Xiaoling, are you worried that you won't be able to reach Huya Village or?"
This guy is a little maddening!
Once again, he avoided my topic and moved on to something else.
I had to repeat the question I had just asked, and this time I asked more bluntly.
But the boy looked at it and shook his head, with a helpless expression.
"Xiaoling, I let you choose, you took this path, and I agree to go here, I have my own reasons."
"You have to trust me."
The young man's eyes flickered, and his eyes stared at me deeply.
"Well, I know I'm actually asking you for nothing."
I sighed, looking at him with a feeling of powerlessness, and there was a moment of stalemate in the atmosphere.
In fact, I understand that if the tsundere boy wanted to tell the truth, he would not have delayed until now.
It's clear that he's hiding part of it, but what is his purpose?
After these days of getting along, I slowly got to know him, and the two of them can be called friends on the road.
Friends have deceived each other so much about the important information they want to know, and the boat of friendship has to capsize!
To be honest, for a moment, I regretted it, frowning and looking at that guy, upset! (To be continued.) )
