As the largest state between Jianghan and Han, Xiangyang City has extremely convenient water and land transportation, and the active business naturally forms a fixed merchant ship berthing wharf, the most famous of which are two: one is in the south of Xiangyang City, five miles south of Dashou Mountain, which is a passenger wharf.

The other place is the big mention in the west of Xiangyang City, also known as the "old dragon embankment", which is about ten miles long from Wanshan to the small north gate, but it is a freight wharf.

In the evening, the old dragon embankment with scattered shops, merchants gathered, and people in the middle of the day is still busy at this time, and the night in the middle of summer is less scorching by the scorching sun, and the occasional breeze blows, and the heat naturally decreases a little, and many ships will unload and load their goods at night.

When the sky was dark and the moon crept up the branches, the big ship slowly approached the wharf, and there were many large and small ships moored at the old Longdi wharf where the ships came and went, and no one paid special attention to the ship, but a few carriages that had been parked nearby suddenly moved.

The coachman shouted softly, and the carriage went to the big ship, and I don't know who whispered a few words, and the boatmen, who were sweating and carrying goods on the wharf, immediately gave way to both sides, and in a short time there was a way for the carriages to go straight to the side of the big ship.

The big ship rested firmly on the dock, several pontoons quickly landed ashore, and a few people in the carriage stood respectfully on both sides of the pontoons waiting for the people on board to come down.

The lantern was lit up, and there were a few people standing on the deck of the big ship, the white clothes of the master and apprentice were so conspicuous, even at night, the night still couldn't hide the dazzling brilliance of the two of them, Zhao Xian sighed secretly: "It's a pity that this good skin." ”

When Che Wangguan appeared on Nameless Island before, he said that he was taking Zhao Yunjin back to the palace on the order of the princess, but now this trip failed to come true, and there was no fluctuation on his face.

Zhao Xian remembered that some time ago, when she and her brother visited the king of Chu, she saw all the subordinates in the palace acting cautiously in front of the princess, and they were not respectful and afraid, but now the car prince looked calm and did not worry, and he clearly did not care, which showed that he was not very afraid of the princess.

Che Wangguan's eyes casually swept over the personal guards standing on the shore, and said to Zhao Yunsheng lightly: "The palace has sent a car to welcome the second son, and the lower officials still have important matters, so let them leave first." ”

Zhao Yunsheng nodded: "The royal official doesn't have to be formal, please feel free." ”

Che Wangguan cast his eyes on Zhao Xian and the others, nodded with a cold face, and then looked at Zhao Yunsheng deeply and then arched his hand to him, Shi Shiran got off the boat and rode away.

Zhao Yunsheng's face was calm but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, he watched the Che Wang Guan drift away, and turned to Zhao Xian and smiled: "After this danger, you and I are also friends in trouble, he will come to my Chu Wangfu one day to gather, and he will be greeted in the next house." There is no lack of intimacy in the words.

Zhao Xian said lightly: "If you are a fellow believer, you should come to visit the door in the next place, or you can drink and talk happily." The implication is that if you keep to yourself and have no other sinister intentions, you will naturally be a fellow believer, and it is okay to drink, chat, and be friends.

Zhao Yunsheng looked at Zhao Xian with deep meaning, and said with a smile after a while: "Childe is really well-intentioned!" He raised his chin behind Zhao Xian and looked at the many craftsmen who walked on the deck, and asked, "Do these craftsmen want my Chu Wangfu to help arrange?" ”

Zhao Xian shook her head and said, "Since they were captured by the Jiaolong Gang, now that we bring them out, we will naturally let them go home." Zhao Yunsheng hummed noncommittally and said no more.

Zhao Xian turned around and saw that the craftsmen had arrived, and whispered a few words to one of the people she had assigned to be the leader of the team, who nodded from time to time with a look of gratitude, and then stood in front of the group of craftsmen and cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "Gongzi Yanming, since he has left the nameless island, those who have a family can get off the boat and return home now, if he has no home and does not want to stay in Xiangyang, he is willing to send someone to escort us to Bianjing, and the official family will let us go to the official ship yard to find an errand, and we can also eat official food to serve the Great Song Dynasty in the future." ”

After a while, about half of the people bowed down to Zhao Xian and said a word of gratitude, and then left silently, while the other half of the people who stayed behind told the team leader of the discussion the result.

The squad leader was a middle-aged and calm man, although he was grateful to Zhao Xian and others for saving their lives and making careful arrangements, he still had doubts in his heart, such as how could the young man in front of him, who didn't seem to be very old, let them enter the official shipyard, and how could he show the official family?

And he just guessed from the conversation between Zhao Xian and Zhao Yunsheng that Zhao Yunsheng's identity was the second son of the Chu Palace, and secretly thought that it might be more appropriate to be helped by someone of this status?

Zhao Xian saw that the captain of the squad had a look on his face, as if he was worried and quite uneasy, and secretly felt strange, only after thinking about it, he understood this person's concerns, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that he wanted to help these craftsmen, because he didn't want to waste these talents, but unfortunately he was in a bit of a hurry, but he forgot his identity that was not embarrassing or embarrassing.

Now she is dressed as a man, and she does not have any official position on the surface, if she clearly states her true identity, although the position of princess is noble, but in this era of male superiority and inferiority, this title is obviously unconvincing.

I caught a glimpse of the captain's natural respect for Zhao Yunsheng, and Zhao Yunsheng's expression of smiling was particularly conspicuous, so I suddenly realized why Zhao Yunsheng had never pointed out his relationship with himself, but pretended not to know him.

The moonlight was shining, casting a shadow on the deck, the sound of cargo on the shore was close and far, looking up at the bright moon and silently counting the hours, thinking that it would be curfew in a short time, Zhao Xian's heart suddenly felt slightly dry.

I don't know when Yin Ren and Li Yi have quietly stepped up to the deck and stood beside her, Yin Ren coughed lightly and said: "This uncle's concerns are not unreasonable, but I don't know if it is the words of the emperor's Qin faction general, do you still have doubts?" ”

"General? The Emperor's Mission? If this is the case, the villain and others will believe it. But where is this great general of the Chin faction? The squad leader asked in a low voice.

Yin Ren chuckled, raised his hand and pointed far away, "Everyone, don't be impatient, and look over there." ”

Everyone looked along Yin Ren's fingers, only to see a group of people in military uniforms coming to the shore at some point, the first one had a resolute face and an extraordinary bearing, and when he came to the side of the boat, he waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately stopped and stopped following.

But the man raised his legs and stepped onto the ship's board, walked towards the deck of the ship with powerful steps, and soon came to Zhao Xian.

When Zhao Xian saw this person approaching, she happily called, "Big brother! ”。

But Zhao Yunsheng secretly shouted that it was a pity, his heart was really a failure, but a smile appeared on his face and he arched his hand: "Cousin Yunxi, don't come unharmed?" ”
