"And what are you going to do now?"

Zhu Zhiling pondered for a moment, and then called the palace maid of Dingxiang Palace.

"You are waiting for Your Majesty, and when she wakes up, tell her that there has been news from Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyang, that the princess has left Nanhua Island and is going to the southwest waterway, and I have sent someone to Binzhou to chase her, and I can take her back to Taiye City in a few days."

"Yes." The palace maid took the order and left.

"Don't you drink to quench your thirst? Obviously, I don't know where my little sister is......" Zhao Wuyin frowned.

"What's the matter, what I asked the palace maid to say is not a lie, and it is not a bully. If my mother asks again a few days later, she will say that she was escaped by her little sister using the Five Elements Technique. At the beginning, it was at the behest of my mother that Yinhua passed on her five elements technique, and she should not complain about me. ”

"But you can hide it from the first year of junior high school, can you hide it from the fifteenth?"

"But fifteen is the best, I just want my mother to hear the news and take a break, just don't give me any extraneous branches before Emperor Wen sends out the army. Once Cangwu's 100,000 army crosses the Hanjiang River, at that time, if she has any accidents, wouldn't I be more worry-free. ”

A vicious gaze suddenly flashed in Zhao Wuyin's eyes.

"Then why don't you ...... now?"

Zhu Zhiling shouted in a low voice: "Confused! Cangwu's army is no more than the river, even if she has little time, she will be like my imperial grandmother did to her back then, forcing me to get rid of you before she is willing to pass on the throne to me. She still has the tiger talisman of 60,000 horses in the Golden Feather Battalion in her hand, if she turns her face and Mu Yunzuo's 100,000 army has not arrived, how can I be the enemy? And how can I keep you? ”

She attached herself to her husband's ear and whispered, "That's why I have to keep her breathing, neither too sick nor too lightly ill." Do you understand the balance here? ”

Zhao Wuyun looked at his wife blankly, the bright moonlight behind her was cast on her, and the golden crown on the top was shining, but it was even more difficult to see her face.

For a while, Zhao Wuyun came to his heart, not knowing whether he was happy or afraid.

Hanjiang ferry, it's night.

The shore is still brightly lit, this is the westernmost border of the Bihai Country, and it is also the only place in Binzhou where there is a garrison.

Two thousand garrisons, not many of them.

You must know that the border of Linzhou, which is next to Imuran, is only a mere 2,000 garrisons, not to mention that on the other side of the river is the Cangwu country, which has been allied for a hundred years, and the number of 2,000 is already too much.

The two thousand sergeants were not so much for defense as for the management of the docks. This includes the handling of goods between the two sides of the strait, the deployment of ships such as turtle ships, and the vigilance on the lookout by the dock.

Alert?

Isn't that what it looks like? With such a wide Hanjiang natural risk, except for the ships of the Blue Sea Country, who can get by? Even if it is the Cangwu Country, it uses all commercial ships leased out by the Bihai Country.

So the duty on the lookout is actually a cutscene.

Especially at night, it is impossible for anyone to cross the river, so being on duty at night is considered a fat difference, because you can also get some extra money to compensate.

On this day and night, as usual, the two soldiers went up to the lookout. The two of them brought some dried fish, peanuts, and a small pot of old wine, ready to survive the long night.

"The days are going by so fast, it's the end of summer in the blink of an eye."

"Hey, it's late summer, but it's still so hot, and there are no mosquitoes at night."

"Isn't this the case in our Bihai Country, let alone the end of summer, you won't see the cool if you don't enter winter."

"Hey, it's good in winter, you can go back to Taiye until winter, and you don't have to stay in this place anymore."

"What? Are you twenty-five? ”

"Yes, I was born in Layue, and I will be twenty-five in winter. According to the law of our blue sea country, when you reach the age of twenty-five, you can return to your hometown to farm. ”

"Then brother, you can get through, I'm only twenty-three, and it will take another two years."

"Hey, it's good to think about it. This is Binzhou, not Linzhou. A few days ago, my hometown brought a letter, saying that a young man of the same year as me, he went to Linzhou after joining the army, but he was killed by the Imurans a few days ago, and he was about to turn twenty-five, but he still didn't survive to the end, and the corpse was not picked up. ”

"How was it killed? Hasn't Linzhou been quite peaceful in recent years? ”

"At this time and that time, the Imuram people don't know what kind of madness they have, let alone soldiers, even the entire family of the Linzhou prefect has been cut to pieces, and their heads are all hung on the city tower."

"This Imuram is really cruel......"

"But you call him cruel...... It's strange to say. ”

"How?"

"I heard that this group of madmen entered Linzhou City, robbed and set fire everywhere, but they didn't touch ordinary people. Except for the prefect's family and the soldiers of the garrison, no one died. ”

"Killed the officers and soldiers, but spared the people? And such wonders? ”

"So this Imuran, it's just evil. Thanks to us, we are in Binzhou, and we can't stand each other in the north and south. ”

"You can't say that, didn't you say last year that it was the Imulans who kidnapped Princess Silverspring? The lake is so close to here, maybe one day the Imurans will suddenly run out from under our noses? ”

"You know, there's an inside story."

"What's the inside story?"

"It is said that it was done by the Blade Clan, and the Blade Clan is different from other Imurans, just to get a money, and robbed the princess for money, and later I heard that I got a ransom of 30,000 taels of gold."

"Thirty thousand taels!! Oh my mother, if I can give my wife and children three taels of gold, I am willing to sell myself. ”

"Come on, you can still be worth three taels of gold, and don't have a damn spring and autumn dream."

"Hehe, isn't it just talking about dreams?"

"So the people of the Blade Clan are not terrible, what is terrible is the Blood Clan, and the people who killed people in Linzhou this time are the Blood Clan."

"But how do you know that it was the Blade Clan who robbed the princess of Silver Spring last year?"

"Here's the inside story! I have someone in the palace. ”

"Someone? Unbelief. Can people like us know the inside story of the palace? Is that still called the insider? ”

“…… Don't believe it, there are really people in my palace, and I still have a young man, who is on ......an errand in the Jiade Palace."

"What's the difference?"

"Uh......"

"Eunuch?"

"That's called Father-in-law!"

"If you get it, your father-in-law will be your father-in-law. What did he hear? ”

"He heard the envoy of the Cangwu Kingdom in the palace say that the arrow picked up by the Luoying Lake has the mark of the blade clan!"

"This is also called the Insider?"

"Don't believe it...... Maybe if this blade clan comes here again one day to rob people, then it must be some kind of royal relatives, anyway, it can't rob you, what are you worried about. ”

"Yes."

"To be honest, Princess Qingle passed us a few days ago, and I really sweated."

"What are you sweating for?"

"Imurans, if the Blade Clan comes to kidnap again, I must rush to the front to protect the princess!"

"You? I haven't seen you so bold. ”

"That's different, it's rare to fight a few times in life, if I can risk my life to save the princess, the blue sea

Both countries have to thank me, so I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. ”

"You're the second half of your life."

"It's just for my wife and children."

"You're just dreaming, are you on the princess's guard wheel?"

"Why can't it be your turn? Didn't you see how many guards there were that night? I have clearly counted the horsemen, men, and servants, but there are only seventeen people who actually carry swords! ”

"Seventeen? So little? ”

"Yes, there are eighteen Arhats who protect the Buddha in the Buddha Hall, and this princess will have seventeen guards when she gets married."

"Brother, you're really distracted."

"That's nature, God doesn't always give you a chance, you have to take it yourself. So that night I went to the boss to discuss whether we should add some people to the princess to escort her all night. ”

"Why didn't the boss tell us about it?!"

"It's confidential! Can you let you know? ”

"Not righteous...... And then what? ”

"Then the chief told me that the princess was not camping at the ferry, but at the foot of the hill five miles away."

"Why did you run there?"

"I don't know, it was said that the senior official who led the delegation of the Cangwu Mission insisted, and he said it quite politely, saying that he didn't want to cause trouble to your country. Hey, I wish you were in trouble. ”

"And then?"

"What's next? So the boss just gave up. ”

"That's no wonder, Cangwu has a good relationship with our Bihai, and it should be okay not to trouble our guards if you know each other. Besides, on that night, didn't he cross the river the next day? If you go to guard that day, it will be in vain. ”

"It's also ......"

"Speaking of which, you said that Cangwu has such a good relationship with our Bihai, why do you set up this observatory? Could it be that you are still afraid that Cangwu Kingdom will call? ”

"It's also a border, so you have to set up a few poses."

"You say...... If one day, Cangwu and Bihai fight, who can win? ”

"I don't know, it is said that the Muyun clan is the best in the world, but it's hard to say."

"Then our Kuntou ship is not vegetarian, as long as it goes to this Hanjiang River, who can get by? There is no boat in Cangwu. ”

"You don't know about this again, you put your ears together, I'll tell you."

"What? Do you have the inside story again? ”

"Do you listen?"

"Listen...... Listen...... Anyway, it's okay in the middle of the night. ”

"I heard from our crew that when our ships in the blue sea approached the opposite riverbank, sometimes someone would secretly watch from the side."

"See?"

"Well, I'm looking at it and drawing it."

"What do you draw?"

"Guess it's a model of a ship."

"Cangwu wants to imitate our ship in the blue sea?"

"It's hard to say, anyway, it looks like I have this in mind."

"Could it be that Cangwu also wants to fight across the river one day?"

"Where is it so simple, our blue sea boat can't be imitated by a few strokes."

"Hahaha, yes, we have Lu Qiusheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who personally supervised the ship, where is it so easy to imitate."

"That's it, the craftsmanship of this Lu Qiusheng ancestor shipbuilding has been passed down for seven or eight generations, where can you learn it by drawing a few pictures."

"Hahaha...... Hiccup. Ouch, I've drunk a little too much, I'm going to pee. ”

"Go, go, I'll watch...... Hey, hey, hey, don't go! Look what that is! ”
