The envoy boat changed boats from Luoyang on the Yellow River, transferred to Huaishui, and sailed from Luoyang to Huaidong.

Wang Shiqiang stood at the bow of the boat and saw more than 20 boats on the dock from a distance.

Jun Mo bowed down and stood beside him, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the crowds on the shore and the people on the dock, and he just looked at the pass

The little merchant of the river bought bread on the dock.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He was sent by Lou Yun to send a handwritten letter to Wang Shiqiang.

"Lord Wang, it's the boat."

Looking at the direction in which Guan He slipped back, he whispered.

On the envoy ship, there were also Jurchen officials of the Jin Guo Honglu Temple who saw them off.

Wang Shiqiang didn't need to say much, and threw a look at Zuo Ping behind him.

Zuo Ping hurriedly went down to the rudder, summoned the Wang family's entourage with him, and carefully arranged to pick up Ji Qingchen on the ship at night.

Wang Shiqiang returned to the cabin, and he had to continue to deal with the Jurchen officials who saw him off.

Ji Qingcheng was on a grain boat on the Huai River, and he was wearing the official badge of Tuntian Judge Li, which was very easy to distinguish.

Zuo Ping commanded the envoy Cao's boat to come over and stop side by side with her boat.

He saw that there were people coming and going on her boat, and it was completely a lively atmosphere that he was afraid that others would not pay attention to.

"Childe, the villain looks a little wrong."

In the evening, the Jurchen officials arranged wine and dinner, and also summoned the actors on the dock to sing songs.

Wang Shiqiang knew that this official was addicted to drinking, and the errand of this send-off was also leisurely, so of course he didn't worry about whether he was drunk or not.

He smiled and drank a glass or two on the table, and Zuo Ping quietly approached. With a hesitant face, he whispered in his ear:

"The villain went to inquire just now, and Judge Li is Li Zhaorong's cousin. His boat stopped here, and the river officials on their Jin Guocao and the county yamen on the shore all sent wine and food to curry favor. Ji Niangzi actually got in touch with him? ”

Wang Shiqiang was also surprised in his heart,

"Xu is the eyeliner that Lou Yun arranged on the Li Mansion."

He did whatever he could.

At the birthday banquet of the lord of the Jin Kingdom, the companion was the favorite concubine Li Zhaorong.

Although he didn't look at the palace concubine's appearance, he knew a little about her background and her methods in the palace.

Before he returned, the highest-ranking true concubine in the palace, the disciple Shan, disobeyed the holy decree and fell into evil. was demoted to a palace maid.

I heard that Li Zhaorong had attached himself to the real concubine in the past, so he was already favored in the palace, so he was also involved in this Yudao Palace case.

However, something happened to the real concubine. But she walked away.

"Childe, this palace case is because the lord of the country saw that the true concubine was secretly hiding the evil talisman, and issued a decree to clean up the palace and cut off the real concubine's concubine

Bit. But after Concubine Li was reprimanded by the lord of the country. Just thought about it behind closed doors. She was also invited to accompany her at the birthday banquet. Did Ji Niangzi secretly have a relationship with this Concubine Li? ”

Because Concubine Li is a Han girl. Zuo Ping inquired a lot of news one after another, and of course Huang's Warehouse has a stack point in Jinguo.

Through this matter of Judge Li, he told Wang Shiqiang in detail.

"Ji Niangzi is not from the Great Song Dynasty after all. Maybe you have a relationship with the Jin people. ”

Zuo Ping's words gradually flickered, "The villain said boldly, and neither is Lord Lou." ”

"Confused—"

Wang Shiqiang stared at him.

Zuo Ping bowed his head and was silent.

"Ji Niangzi will not associate with Jinren. I can be sure of this. As for Lou Yun, he entered the genealogy of the Lou clan and is my in-law. If he colludes with the Jin people, even I will be questioned by both big and small Han. ”

He knew that Lou Yun had caught up with the Shandong Righteous Army in Chuzhou. speculated that he should also have an internal response in Suzhou.

Maybe it's the person next to Judge Li.

"When she arrived in Jinguo, it was impossible for Lou Yun not to know. These are the military of the border states. We don't care. You make good arrangements tonight, I have something to discuss with her. ”

He agreed to take her on the ship, not to inquire what she was doing in Jinguo, but for her Taicang workshop.

However, when Zuo Ping retreated, he still said something.

"Ji Niangzi and Concubine Li, you just remember it first. Maybe you'll need it in the future. ”

"Yes, Ji Niangzi will definitely know the kindness of the son."

After nightfall, the Jurchen official returned to his room drunk.

After the Jurchen soldiers on the ship fell asleep, in a place where there was no one in the rear cabin, Zuo Ping took Wang Shiqiang's henchmen and quietly set up three planks.

Ji Qingchen and the group around him went directly to the envoy ship next door.

The boat was wide, and the Jurchen officer lived in the front cabin, and she was arranged in the large cabin at the stern.

There was a lot of luggage with him, which was piled up in the small cabin at the hatch.

Lao Siniang had just gone out to pack her luggage, and she was sitting outside drinking hot tea when she heard a knock on the door.

Wang Shiqiang walked in.

"Young lady."

It was early in the morning, and he pretended to go to bed, ready for it.

He tied a cloak and dragged silk shoes, only his hair was inconvenient to comb and wear a hat, so as not to be seen and suspicious, he only pulled his hair smoothly and inserted a jade hairpin,

She knew that he would definitely come, and Junmo also whispered when she got on the boat:

"Ji Niangzi, my son-in-law said that Lord Wang may take charge of the Ordnance Department when he returns to the capital this time, and he wants to put all the craftsmen in the workshop of the eldest lady into the name of the Ministry of Industry."

……

Lou Yun received news in Shanyang City that Wang Shiqiang's ship would take one night and would be able to transit to Chuzhou tomorrow afternoon.

Ji Qingchen has already boarded the ship.

He was relieved, so he deliberately took a boat from Shanyang City to Xuyi County Wharf to greet him.

I got off the boat and went to the inn to rest for the night.

Lou Chun, who accompanied him, entered the house to deliver supper for him, looking at him with a calm face and hidden joy, and Zhang Xueli, who accompanied him, was persuading him to do family affairs immediately.

It is completely reassuring that Ji Qingchen will come back safely.

He put down the eating table and couldn't help but say:

"My lord, Wang Shiqiang ......"

Wang Shiqiang obviously has bad intentions, aren't you afraid of him prying the corner?

The days had entered the beginning of July, and the inner room was dressed casually, Lou Yun wore long hair and a silk shirt with a wide open collar.

He took a sip of the soup, glanced at him, knew what he was going to say, and smiled:

"Wang Shiqiang's boat is the safest. I can't care about anything else. As for her inevitable dealings with him on the ship, she would never let go of the Taicang workshop. Wang Shiqiang wants the workshop to get her family property, how can she ignore it? ”

As long as Junmo's kid reminded her in advance, she would understand what he wanted.

"My lord, if you come back, you will do family affairs, and send your family back to the capital as usual, which is also a good thing."

Zhang Xueli shook his fan, hinting.

In the four border states on the border of Huaishui and Jinsong, the family members of the capital are all in the capital, and only Lou Yun has not yet married.

His clan is only the Mingzhou Knowles who are not too close.

When he went to the capital, it was not only Dahan who asked about it. Even Xie Shenfu hinted twice.

Lou Yun was originally eight points angry, angry that she took the risk to go to the Jin Kingdom, but the Golden Pavilion Temple caught fire again, which made him worry for several days.

Now that I heard that she had come back safely, I was only three points angry.

At this time, thinking that he was going to send her back to the capital immediately after getting married, he was slightly silent.

He sighed and said:

"I'll talk to her when she comes back." (To be continued......)
