One morning at the end of April in the eleventh year of Yongxi, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and there were two huge merchant ships docked at the canal wharf in the northern suburbs of Yangzhou, one was a merchant ship that Cao Yi specially asked Liu Defa to borrow, in fact, the other one was also Liu Defa's, but after his son and Cao Yi had a conflict, it was given to Cao Yi as an apology.

Naturally, it was the one piloted by Wang Fu, although Cao Yi only went back to more than fifty people, including Red Sleeves, Yu Youwei, Jin'er, Tan Yun, Liu Baiqing and fifty Taibai secret guards returned to Jiangning with Cao Yi this time.

On the Yangzhou side, Qingwen and Qifei were originally there were fifty Taibai guards guarding the restaurant, the warehouse, the two workshops and the house bought in Chongya Lane, a wealthy area in Yangzhou. Because after Cao Yi left, Qingwen and Qifei Wine Pot moved to Chongya Lane, where the increasingly famous Taibai Twenty Bandfang lived, so they naturally needed to be guarded.

And this time, even if there were only more than 50 people in Cao Yi's return, he actually used two ships, because on Mu Hong's side, more than 300 people wanted to follow Cao Yi to Jiangning and enter the Taibai secret camp to receive training, so as to increase their strength for the counterattack on Xicheng.

According to the passenger capacity of more than 200 people on a merchant ship, a ship is far from enough, so Cao Yi borrowed one from Liu Defa, of course, Liu Defa himself has to send a ship to Jiangning, because the Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine in the new January are ready to be delivered again, and this time the wine is just brought back.

And on the Xicheng side, for the time being, you can only put it aside, originally a Jing Zhe is already difficult enough to deal with, and after adding the support of the Liao State, according to Cao Yi and Mu Hong's estimates, without being fully prepared, Mu Hong will take people to Jiangning, which is definitely self-defeating, and it is very necessary to silently strengthen his strength in a year.

And after a period of convincing, it can reduce the vigilance of Jing Zhe and the Liao people to a certain extent, and by the way, take a look at the specific intentions behind the Liao State's support for Jing Zhe.

Their initial guess is to transport the materials that are urgently needed in Liao back to Liao through the powerful transportation channels of the Cao Gang, but it is not clear how it is operated, so it is good to observe.

This morning, the canal wharf can be said to be full of celebrities, Fei Haomiao, the governor of Yangzhou, three of the four talents and their teachers, as well as Wang Honghua and Lu Xiaofeng. Even Liu Defa, the richest man in Yangzhou, also came to see him off.

In addition, what Cao Yi didn't expect was that the remaining five of the original Yangzhou Six Arts also came, plus his own Taibai Twelve Orchestra, for a while, the dock was fragrant, and the warbler Yanyan. Cao Yi immediately thought that someone else didn't send him, he came to send Yu Youwei.

But no matter what you say, the talented and beautiful people in Yangzhou gathered at the canal wharf, which also surprised the people next to them, some people who begged for a life on the wharf naturally didn't know Cao Yi, but they knew the four talents and the six arts of Yangzhou, and they discussed for a while, what is sacred to leave Yangzhou this time, is it possible that it is not the emperor's relatives and relatives.

The common people's discussion Cao Yi naturally won't know, and even if he knows, he won't care, at present, he is busy saying goodbye to everyone who came to see him off, if there is no emergency, I don't know when I will come next time.

This is a farewell, the rivers and lakes are far away, it is good to say that the four talents and the old men are still the same, it is difficult to say that the next time you come, you will still be the old people. But his senior brother doesn't know if he will be in Yangzhou next time.

For the high-ranking officials sent abroad, whether they are civil officials or military generals, they are basically dispatched every three years, that is, they do not want to have military generals who support their own troops or feudal officials who can develop their own forces on the enemy. And Fei Haomiao has been in Yangzhou for more than a year, if Cao Yi's next visit is two years later, then Fei Haomiao will definitely not be seen.

There are now five left in Yangzhou Six Arts, for them, now is their most beautiful time, but two years later, Ju Caoyi knows that Huaidie is already seventeen years old, and often the red card Oiran will think of his own way out after the age of eighteen. Either he earned the money to redeem himself, and he said the rest of his life.

Either they were bought by other powerful people to be concubines, and from then on they lived in the backyard of the house, for them, no matter what form it was, the date of not being the top brand of the Qinglou was not far away. It's hard to say that the next time Cao Yi comes over, they will have already retired.

The twilight of heroes makes people sigh, and the old age of beauties still makes people sad, for Cao Yi, who has crossed over now, eighteen years old is just an adult, and there is still a lot of time for them to spend happily in the future.

But for women in this era, they often get married and have children at the age of fourteen, and by the time they are in their thirties, some have become grandmothers or grandmothers, and in this era, many people whose families are not rich and whose living conditions are not very good, regardless of men and women, often die at the age of thirty or forty.

In this regard, Cao Yi will not be entangled except for a little emotion, this is the product and situation of this era, and he will not say that he will disturb himself, for Cao Yi, he only needs the people around him, the people he cares about can be happy in the end, and live as long and happily as possible, which is enough.

Of course, if the conditions permit, he also wants to try to snatch back the sixteen states of Yanyun, and if he can go one step further, suppress the elder brother nomadic people in the north to death, and not let the Han people in the Central Plains in later generations be invaded by the iron cavalry.

"Senior brother, this is my letter to my teacher and my wife, you can help me pass it on to them!"

After Cao Yi finished greeting everyone, Fei Haomiao came to Cao Yi, took out a thick stack of letters from his arms, and cautiously handed them to the latter.

Cao Yi was deeply affected by the results, and after feeling it with his hands a little, he knew that there were at least a dozen pieces of letter paper stacked together, and said with a smile: "Okay, senior brother!" I gave it to the teacher as soon as I arrived in Jiangning, but the distance between Yangzhou and Jiangning is not too far, and the senior brother will come over in person next time to meet the teacher and the two teachers, they often mention you at the beginning. ”

"Definitely! Senior brother, junior sister, you two go back to greet the teacher and the teacher and the teacher for me, my official business is prosperous here, and I also want to be a good parent official for the people in the first year of my arrival, plus the first time I arrived, it is inevitable that some things are not very smooth, so I have not been able to pull away before, wait until the second half of the year, I will definitely go back to Jiangning to meet the teacher and my wife in the second half of the year. ”

Fei Haomiao nodded, and agreed, it is true that in the first year of coming to Yangzhou, there are many things to deal with, and Yangzhou has sentenced Guo Chao to deal with him very well, and it is impossible for him to leave any handle for the other party, so he has not visited the teacher and his wife at such a close distance.

Fei Haomiao himself felt a little unreasonable, and it was estimated that when he arrived at the teacher's door, he would be kicked out of the house by the teacher and the teacher...... Thinking of this, Fei Haomiao showed a wry smile on his face.

"Senior brother, the teacher knows your situation here in Yangzhou, and my wife also told me that I regret saying such cruel things to you at the beginning, but I can't let my wife compensate you, so if you are free here, go directly to Jiangning, if you don't let you in, I will open the door and pull you in."

"Hahaha, okay, with your words, junior brother, I can go to Jiangning with confidence." Fei Haomiao laughed loudly, alleviating the sorrow of parting a lot.

"Senior brother, don't worry, the two mothers are very good, and they won't embarrass you." Yu Youwei showed a gentle smile and said softly.

"No, no, no, junior sister, you misunderstood, how could I say that the two masters are not good, I just feel guilty because I haven't been there for too long......" Fei Haomiao hurriedly said out loud, and his exaggerated tone made the others laugh.

"Okay, I have to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, everyone, I'm going to go!" Cao Yi said to the crowd around him.

"Come back and see us often!" This is what Lu Xiaofeng said, and he shouted strangely at this time.

"I'm a hard worker, and I'm going to go to Hangzhou next, I guess Yangzhou won't be able to come in a short time, but if you go to Jiangning or Hangzhou, you must go to Zuixian Tower, remember to come and look for it, and then I'll do my best to be a landlord." Cao Yi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Cao Gongzi, you have something to say, now we are all landlords in Yangzhou, do you blame us for not doing a good job of landlord friendship?" Liu Defa opened his mouth and laughed.

Cao Yi shook his head: "Everything you said was said by the head of the Liu family, what did you let Xiaosheng say?" ”

Then Cao Yi straightened his expression, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted everyone: "Everyone, after I leave, I hope you can take more care of the Drunken Immortal Building, the Qifei girl and Qingwen girl left here are daughters after all, and sometimes I need your help, I bother you!" ”

"Cao Gongzi, where are you talking about this, don't worry, if I don't have so much money, I promise to help Cao Gongzi guard the Drunken Immortal Tower every day!" This time it was Lu Xiaofeng who spoke.

"Brother Lu, you've talked about this, how could I not say it, Qingwen, Qifei, these people present in the future will only charge half of the money if they come to Zuixianlou to consume!"

"Yes, Childe!" Qingwen and Qifei owed a blessing slightly, and their mouths should accept Cao Yi's request.

"Hahaha, Cao Gongzi is atmospheric!" Lu Xiaofeng squeezed his eyebrows at Wang Honghua, they did favor Taibai Drunk and Qinglian Wine, but they couldn't stand the high consumption of Drunken Immortal Building, which was comparable to Huamanlou and other gold caves, even if they liked it, they couldn't come often.

Now, with Cao Yi saying that only half of the money is charged, which is equivalent to the price of fifty percent of everything, it is already very favorable, so that the number of times they come every month can be a few more times, Lu Xiaofeng and Wang Honghua are naturally happy.

"Please, everybody! I'm leaving! Cao Yi hugged everyone again, then turned around and walked the merchant ship, stood on the deck and waved to everyone, and Yu Youwei and Red Sleeves and others also accompanied Cao Yi to wave goodbye to everyone, until they couldn't see the people on the canal pier clearly, Cao Yi and they walked into the cabin.

At this time, in the cabin, Mu Hong and others were already sitting inside, the question was that there were two merchant ships, and there were more than 300 people on Mu Hong's side, so there must be more than 100 people on Cao Yi's ship, so Mu Hong took his son Mu Feichen, Lei Laohu, and Ximen Ba and others to Cao Yi's side. And over there, Wogu, Ba Xuyao and Shao Yangwen are in charge. Flying Library

Just now, because there were many celebrities in Yangzhou to see them off, Cao Muhong and these people had better not make it public at present, so they stayed in the cabin all the time, otherwise it would be mixed up immediately, and it was hard to say that some people remembered it, and then it was passed to Xicheng Jingzhe, and when the time came, it was better not to be afraid of it, but it was also a troublesome thing.

When they saw Cao Yi and others coming in, they all got up to greet them.

"Sit down, you're welcome." Cao Yi waved his hand, then walked up to the main seat and sat down, while Yu Youwei and Red Sleeves and others nodded politely at Mu Hong, and then walked directly back to their own room, after all, Cao Yi and they may play some things between men, and as Cao Yi's daughters, it is naturally not good to stay here.

Although no one would talk about them even if they stayed in the cabin, a person like them would naturally not do anything that did not conform to their identity.

"Pastoral Gang Master, how much have you brought from the Yangzhou Branch and the Runzhou Branch?"

"There are thirty-six people in the Yangzhou branch and thirty-two people in the Runzhou branch, and the rest are all innocent and young people who have been re-bought!" Mu Hong replied.

Cao Yi nodded: "From Yangzhou to Jiangning, it is about four or five days away, and you can move around on the boat at will, don't worry about us...... But...... In the room on the other side of the female family, the shepherd had better control it, and don't let your people accidentally not enter! ”

"This is natural!" Mu Hong patted his chest and said: "At this point, Master Cao, please rest assured, if anyone dares to make such a mistake, I will directly let people throw them down the river!" ”

"That's not necessary, I'm afraid that if the people of the pastoral gang don't know the way, they will accidentally take the wrong way!" Cao Yi had that kind of "you don't have to" expression on his face.

Then Cao Yi's heart moved, and he asked: "Pastoral Gang Master, the people you selected from the Yangzhou Branch Hall and the Runzhou Branch Hall are all water-based, right?" ”

Mu Hong was stunned by Cao Yi's sudden question, then reacted, and said with a smile: "The situation of our Cao Gang depends on this, and the water nature is naturally very good, not that I brag, maybe our combat power is not very strong on land, but in the water, we can definitely exert twice as strong combat power as others." ”

Cao Yi nodded, stroking his smooth chin that still didn't have a beard with his hand, he already had a preliminary plan in his heart, that is, when Mu Hong's three hundred people were trained in the Taibai Secret Camp, they could give full play to their own strengths, and tell the Taibai Secret Guard how to exert stronger combat power in the water.

Before, Yun Qing, Liu Baiqing, or Gongye Yuanzhou, Wei Chi Hongkuang and other instructors, were all from the Central Plains, although they could swim, but if they talked about their combat effectiveness in the water, it could only be said that it was extremely difficult to make do, so there was no way to achieve Cao Yi's original set of water stations, land battles, horse stations, scout warfare, mountain warfare and other all-round troops.

Now with the addition of these people from the Cao Gang, it seems that the previous idea now has a chance to come true, Cao Yi immediately called Liu Baiqing, who had been on the deck, in, and then told his inner thoughts in front of him and Mu Hong.

That is, there is a Taibai secret camp to train Mu Hong, three hundred people, and Mu Hong, Ximen Ba, Shao Yangwen and others teach other Taibai secret guard water stations. Liu Baiqing was naturally very interested in what Cao Yi said, and directly talked with Mu Hong in detail in the cabin to communicate specific related matters.

Cao Yi returned to his room after confessing, starting from the night before yesterday, yesterday noon, and last night, he spent all kinds of banquets, and the wine woke up, and he began to go to the next banquet, so he was not only hangover in the past few days, but also not very well rested, plus he was busy socializing all morning today, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.

Therefore, Cao Yi simply did not participate in the discussion of some details of the specific implementation, and went directly to his room, intending to have a good rest.

When he returned to his room, Red Sleeves and Tan Yun were already in the room, and they were tidying up the mattress and clothes for Cao Yi, this was the first time they went back after leaving Jiangning for a month, and they did have a lot of things with them, so when Cao Yi came in, Red Sleeves and Tan Yun had not yet sorted it out.

Seeing Cao Yi come in, Red Sleeves hurriedly put down the work in his hand and ran a cup of tea for Cao Yi first, so that Cao Yi could wake up the drunkenness that had not completely subsided from last night's hangover.

"Red sleeves, Tan Yun, help me fix the mattress first, I'll take a good rest after that, the hangover is too painful, and I will definitely drink less in the future!"

The red sleeves' eyes glanced at Cao Yi slightly, and the look seemed to say, "I know you still drink so much!" ”

In Cao Yi's surroundings, Red Sleeves can slightly say that Cao Yi's bad behavior is, after all, he is a personal maid given by Cao Yi's mother, Mrs. Korea, and Cao Yi can be said to have grown up together from childhood sweethearts, and the relationship is naturally very deep.

When Cao Yi was still in Jiangning before, he even often received letters from his mother, but he mentioned many times in his heart that he asked Cao Yi not to bully Red Sleeves, and he was surprised that Red Sleeves was his mother's daughter, and he was a guard by the way.

So generally other people don't dare to say what they don't dare to do, Red Sleeves will bring it up every time, and Cao Yi will listen, like now, Cao Yi just looked at Red Sleeves with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's all some elders, no way, your son-in-law is also to be able to maintain a good friendship with them, so that even if I leave Yangzhou, they can also be safe and Qingwen and Qifei, and they will also look at our drunken immortal building." ”

"Yes, yes, every time Childe does something that doesn't take care of his body, he always has a legitimate reason to do it, anyway, Childe is the first genius in Jiangning, and after coming to Yangzhou, he will become the first genius in Jiangnan.

"Okay, okay, I know that Red Sleeves is for my good, and I promise that in the next three or four days, on the boat, I will never touch the wine!" Cao Yi assured.

Red Sleeves glanced at Cao Yi, and while sorting out the clothes on his hands, he said: "This is what Childe said himself, I didn't force Childe." ”

Cao Yi showed a happy smile on his face: "Hehe, it's still Red Sleeves who knows that he feels sorry for his son and is considerate of his son, unlike Tan Yun, who knows how to eat and drink, and doesn't know how to care about his son at all." After speaking, Cao Yi also glanced at Tan Yun, who was also concentrating on folding his clothes at this time.

After being said by Cao Yi, Tan Yun was stunned for a moment, and the movements in her hands naturally stagnated, then she glanced at the red sleeves again, and finally turned her head to look at Cao Yi.

The little nose wrinkled tightly, and said angrily: "Hmph, bad boy, sure enough, it's the same as Sister Red Sleeves said, this time I will definitely pull the topic to others, and then avoid my own affairs." Tan Yun likes Childe so much, every time he looks at Childe's hangover and uncomfortable expression, he wishes he could replace Childe to suffer from a hangover, and announced that not only did he not know to praise Tan Yun, but also said that people! ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Cao Yi, who was originally drinking tea, was shocked by Tan Yun's words, and his face was a little unbearable, and he said to Tan Yun with a straight face: "Tan Yun, you dare to refute Gongzi's reprimand, your wings have really hardened...... Hurry up and clean up, don't disturb Ben Gongzi's rest! ”

"It's okay, son, you can sleep, Tan Yun and I will move our clothes to the outhouse to clean up, you can rest well." Redsleeves opened his mouth in response.

Cao Yi, as the person with the highest status on the ship, naturally lived in the best room, with a lot of space, and was divided into two rooms, the inner room and the outer room, which was quite like the space layout of the presidential suite in the later hotels.

Cao Yi was indeed a little tired, so he didn't insist at the moment, nodded, didn't even wash and bathe, and didn't even do the washing, bathing and changing, just took off his boots and lay down to rest.

In the next three days, although Cao Yi ate with Mu Hong and others every time, it was rare that he really fulfilled the promise he said in front of Red Sleeves, and really restrained himself. When eating, drinking, chatting, or communicating follow-up cooperation matters, all tea is used instead of wine.

Of course, for his own abnormality, Cao Yi still explained to Mu Hong and them, saying that he was ill during this time and was not very comfortable.

As for these days, I won't touch alcohol for the time being! On the one hand, the red sleeves just said that they just made a guarantee. On the other hand, it is true that the sequelae of the hangover have not completely subsided, and the mind will still have some symptoms of dizziness and headache.

Before setting off from Yangzhou, Cao Yi was equipped with dozens of jars of Taibai drunk on each ship, and he was afraid that these people would be too material during the four or five days of driving, so he prepared enough wine, which just made these people in the Cao Gang drink to their heart's content.

Even on the third day, they were getting closer and closer to Jiangning, and they were still a little reluctant to have a good life on the ship, the kind of people who didn't have to do anything, they would eat and drink when the time came, and go back to their rooms to rest after they were full of food and drink.

This makes them really want to stay on the ship for a long time and live a "happy life".

If there is no accident, in another hour their ship can dock at the dock in Jiangning, since the last time they left Jiangning to go to Yangzhou has been a month visa, back to the familiar city again, looking at the city that is getting bigger and clearer in front of them, and more and more missed the city in the month, Cao Yi and others are full of emotion for a while.
