Chapter 61: Young Master, Do You Need a Calling Girl?

Wu Yue leaned over to look at the map this time, and through the analysis of the landform, carefully figured out the specific plan for controlling the river, which took a full hour. When Wu Yue woke up from his contemplation, it was already dawn.

Wu Yue looked out the window with a sideways face, the white of the fish belly rose in the east, frowned slightly, straightened up, and raised his hand to gently rub his temples. Rong Xiang'er, who had been guarding beside her, handed a cup of prepared tea to Wu Yue with both hands.

Wu Yue took it with one hand, lowered his head and took a sip.

"Is Santoko back?" Wu Yue asked softly.

Rong Xiang'er bowed and responded, "Well, Sandezi has already returned half an hour ago. ”

"Well, then get ready, when the city gate opens, let's leave Beijing." Wu Yue said, handed the empty teacup to Rong Xiang'er, strode to the big bed, and lay down.

"Master, aren't you waiting? Let's see what Lord Wu, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, will do with these people? Rong Xiang'er bowed down and stood next to the big bed and asked in a deep voice.

Wu Yue shook his head, "Wu Liuyi's ability to do things, I know it, if I participate at this moment, it is likely to disturb his plan." ”

"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people." Wu Yue turned his face sideways, looked at Rong Xiang'er, and responded softly.

"Hmm. Master, slave and maid, I will prepare toiletries for you. Rong Xiang'er nodded with a gentle smile, bowed to Wu Yue and said, and then slowly walked towards the door of the room.

Wu Yue, who was on the big bed, faintly felt sleepy at the moment. But this chaotic flood, as well as the more worrying plot of rebellion of the three feudatories, made it difficult for him to fall asleep even with his eyes closed, his head still like a mirror.

"Forget it, I'll tell Sandezi to buy a carriage later. When I got to the next camping stop, I'll rest in the carriage for a while. Wu Yue smiled bitterly and muttered in a low voice.

A few minutes later, Rong Xiang'er walked in with a basin of warm water.

Wu Yue got up, and Rong Xiang'er skillfully washed Wu Yue. After about a cup of tea, Wu Yue, who had finished washing, put on a clean service and stood in the room.

"Childe, the city gate has been opened, let's go." At this time, Sandezi was already standing at the door of the wing room, bowing to Wu Yue and saying.

"Well, you go buy a carriage and come back." Wu Yue glanced at Sandezi and said in a deep voice.

"Childe, just after the slave came back, Madame has already ordered me to buy it. Stop in the backyard of the inn now. Sandezi bowed and walked in, came to Wu Yue's side, and said in a low voice.

Wu Yue nodded, turned his head, nodded towards Rong Xiang'er with a satisfied smile, and strode out of the room.

Wu Yue, under the guidance of Sandezi, came to the backyard. Rong Xiang'er helped Wu Yue to get into the carriage, and Wu Yue, who got into the carriage, leaned on the shed beam on the carriage and closed his eyes. Rong Xiang'er followed Wu Yue into the carriage after stroking Wu Yue's carriage, and then got into the carport.

Sandezi and the shopkeeper of the inn, after settling the payment for last night's room, jumped into the carriage, and Li Dong drove towards the city gate. The carriage shook slightly, making Wu Yue, who had just closed his eyes, couldn't help frowning, but his eyes didn't open.

Seeing this, Rong Xiang'er confirmed that Wu Yue was asleep, so she came to Wu Yue's body alone, hugged him with one arm, and then put her body on the sedan beam, and let Wu Yue lean lightly in her arms.

At this moment, Wu Yue finally felt more comfortable, the sound of breathing was finally even, and the slight snoring echoed in the car.

About half an hour later, there was a chaotic sound outside the carriage car. Rong Xiang'er, who was originally leaning on the edge of the sedan window and closed her eyes, frowned and opened her eyes, raised her hand to lift the curtains, greeted Sandezi, and signaled him to leave here quickly.

But at this moment, Wu Yue frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

After waking up, Wu Yue saw that he was lying in Rong Xiang'er's arms, but he was not too pretentious, nodded at her, and straightened up.

"What's going on?" Wu Yue rubbed his eyes, looked at Rong Xiang'er and asked.

Rong Xiang'er shook her head, raised her hand and gently pulled the sedan wall close to Sandezi.

The carriage stopped, and then Sandezi jumped out of the carriage, opened the car door, and entered the sedan chair.

"Is it a refugee?" After Wu Yue was in the sedan chair that Sandezi entered, he stared at him with straight eyes and asked.

Sandezi nodded, "Well, it's a refugee rushing to Baoding Mansion." ”

Wu Yue nodded, raised his hand to lift the sedan curtain, and looked out.

A ragged refugee, old and young, supported each other like a long dragon, moving forward slowly. They all had yellow faces and thin muscles, and their steps were faltering.

One of them looked to be over the age of six, with gray hair and sallow hair. The chin is pointed, like an awl that can be driven into the ground. Wu Yue could vaguely see through the torn clothes, and the ribs were clearly displayed on his chest.

To his right was a little girl with a dirty face and a skinny look. His hair was unkempt, and there was even a lot of dead grass on it.

"Is this my people?" Wu Yue's eyes widened, staring straight at the old man and the little girl who walked slowly past him, and said with gritted back molars.

"This... Childe, they are exiles, just a part of the people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The slave believes that most of the people, although they can't say that they have enough food and clothing, can at least have a full stomach. Moreover, the flooding of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River has plagued the imperial court for more than ten years. It doesn't happen overnight. Fortunately, they can still survive under the relief of the imperial court. ”

"Besides, haven't you already used your savings to treat these people?" Sandezi racked his brains and said something that he couldn't even feel he could make up.

"Alright, shut up!" Rong Xiang'er frowned, glanced at Sandezi sideways, said in a low voice, then bowed and stood up, came to Wu Yue's side, and supported him with both hands.

Wu Yue, supported by Rong Xiang'er, stepped out of the carriage. Rong Xiang'er hurriedly followed Wu Yue and jumped down, one step ahead of Wu Yue, and stopped the old man and the little girl.

"Grandpa, is this your granddaughter?" Rong Xiang'er squatted down, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and gently wiped the little girl's cheek.

"Miss, don't get your handkerchief dirty." The old man hurriedly raised his hand to stop Rong Xiang'er from continuing to wipe.

Wu Yue slowly came to the old man, bowed slightly towards him, stepped forward, and took the old man's hand.

"Grandpa, you have suffered." As Wu Yue spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red, and dots of crystal swirled in his sockets.

"This little young master, you are old." As the old man spoke, he was about to kneel down towards Wu Yue.

Wu Yue hurriedly helped, "Grandpa, what are you doing here?" ”

The old man slowly raised his head, a pair of eyes that collapsed into his sockets, stared at Wu Yue deadly, and said something that made Wu Yue extremely surprised, "Young master, do you need a maid?" ”
