Chapter 15
On the way from Luoyun Water City to Bianjing, you will pass through three wharves, as long as you pass these three wharves, it will not be far from Bianjing. On this route to Bianjing, the boatman would not bring more grain, on the one hand, because there were many goods, and other things should not be too much. On the other hand, there are three docks on the road to resupply, so you don't have to worry about food at all.
When the ship passed by the dock, Mo Bing did not leave the cabin. Although he had never been to this part of the water, after all, it was close to Bianjing, and he was more or less familiar with it. If it had been before, he might have walked around, but now he just wants to get to Bianjing as soon as possible, and there are many questions waiting for him to solve.
After passing through three piers, you will enter a slightly longer route, which will lead down to your destination, and the last pier is Bianjing.
Mo Bing traced the direction of this big river on a blank piece of paper, and when he saw the last section of the route, he couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, this place did not belong to the border between the Desert Smoke Country and the Dongyue Kingdom, otherwise they might have to guard against the Desert Smoke Country at that time.
In the past, when the three countries stood side by side, although the Moyan country was the country with the longest history, it was a peaceful country, and it did not support or oppose the war between Tianchu and Dongyue, and always maintained a neutral attitude. This may also have something to do with their strength, although the Tianchu State is a vassal state of the Dongyue Kingdom, everyone can see the intention of the Tianchu State to get rid of the Dongyue Kingdom. At that time, if the Moyan Country and the Tianchu Kingdom were allied, it would not be impossible to bring down Dongyue.
However, the country of Moyan has no advantage from the beginning. The Dongyue Kingdom is almost straddling between the Tianchu State and the Moyan Country, as long as the Moyan State has the intention of forming an alliance with the Tianchu State, it is impossible for Wan Yan Jin not to detect it.
Mo Bing circled it with his pen on the last part of the journey.
If this is the place of the Desert Smoke Country, the Desert Smoke Country has an absolute advantage if it wants to start a war with East Vietnam. Because this side is on the water, there is no place for the East Vietnamese ships to stop. This section of the journey is not far from Bianjing, and it will take a long time for Dongyue to transfer troops from Biansai to this side, but it will take a day or two for the army of Moyan to attack Bianjing from here.
They had studied the topography of each of the three countries before, but no one had studied the basin, and it was negligent to them. If he had known at that time, Mo Bing would have immediately sent someone here to guard it in case the Desert Smoke Country rebelled. But now, the whole world is one, and there is no distinction between you and me, and the war has long disappeared with the unification of the Desert Smoke Country five years ago.
Mo Bing has never questioned Wan Yan Jin's decision, because he knows that he must have a long-term plan. At that time, although he felt that the country they had worked so hard to give up was really unwilling, but now he was relieved, and even felt that Wan Yanjin's decision was very correct.
In the past five years, there has been no news of any war, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. He traveled around, and what he saw was a scene of joy. On the contrary, during the period when the three kingdoms were co-existent, the people did not have enough to eat, and everyone prayed that the war would stop soon, and everywhere there was a scene of mourning.
Mo Bing couldn't help but sigh, the young master is the young master, he has both the courage to power the world, and the broadness to complete the world.
Just when he was lamenting the hard-won results of the past ten years, the coachman hurriedly broke in.
The coachman had been by his side for a long time, and knew that he was kind but also knew that he didn't like to be disturbed, and if there was nothing special, he would never come to disturb him, and something must have happened to let him break in so quickly.
The pen in Mo Bing's hand had just been dipped in a little ink and he hadn't finished writing, when he saw the coachman frowning, his dark face was full of worry, and he said in an anxious tone: "Young Master Mo, something happened." The ship not far in front of us seemed to be ridden by thieves, and the fire burned the whole ship. Will our ship go any further? ”
When the coachman saw such a battle, he immediately came in and told Mo Bing that although their ship was special and had official marks on it, ordinary thieves would not dare to bother when they saw it, and maybe they could spend it unharmed. But since they are thieves, they are naturally unreasonable, and if they don't care about 3721 with a heart, it is not impossible to wipe them out.
However, the coachman didn't hear the answer he wanted from Mo Bing's mouth.
When he heard the news, Mo Bing's hand shook, and the pen in his hand suddenly fell, and the ink stained the paper and quickly smudged, and everything he had drawn before was blurred. But he didn't pay any attention to it, and the whole person was stunned for a while as if the main heart bone had been suddenly removed, his face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
It was as if tens of thousands of ants were gnawing on his heart, his eyes were full of fear, and a bad premonition arose.
"Young Master Mo, are you okay? Is it that you have been on the boat for a long time and are not feeling well......" Before the coachman could finish speaking, Mo Bing interrupted what he was about to say.
"Which bow is on fire? Is it a merchant ship or a passenger ship? Mo Bing's tone unconsciously aggravated a lot, and even he didn't notice this small change.
There were quite a few ships ahead of them, both passenger and merchant ships. If it is a passenger ship, it will definitely not be a ship of Luoyun Water City. Because the case has not been solved, Luoyun Water City did not let passenger ships out of the city, and the passenger ships that took this road were not only from Luoyun Water City, but also from other docks. But if it's a merchant ship, it's not necessarily.
A hint of panic flashed through Mo Bing's heart, he couldn't imagine what the worst outcome would be.
However, he didn't hear a satisfactory answer, and the coachman clearly told him that he was a merchant ship, and it was also a merchant ship from Luoyun Water City.
If those two girls left Luoyun Water City, they must have taken a merchant ship. The bow ship that he had been letting the boatman follow silently was the merchant ship of Luoyun Water City, which was closest to them.
He had never been so flustered before, and he didn't know what he was afraid of. At that moment, he kept praying in his heart, hoping that there would be no two girls on it, but what if?
Although he had been comforting himself in this way, the image that flashed through his mind was more tragic than the other, and he had no way to stop himself, and he had no more energy to think about anything else.
"Let the boatman speed up and go forward!"
Mo Bing's tone was unprecedentedly flustered, and even the coachman was startled by his words, and he didn't dare to delay and did what he told him.
The ship soon picked up speed, and the whole ship rocked and began to move forward five times faster than usual. Mo Bing swayed with the hull of the ship on the boat, but his heart was still not at peace, and he couldn't wait to rush to the bow ship now.
How could he not be in a hurry? If the two girls were really on it, no matter what hurt he received, he would die of guilt in his heart. After all, he promised the two girls that they would escort them to Bianjing safely, and now because of his impulsiveness, the two girls left him and went on the road alone, and he was already a little reluctant in his heart, and even a little regretful. It would be fine if they arrived safely, but if he hurt the two girls because of his impulsiveness, how should he face his conscience.
He lived a frank life in his life, never owed anyone favors, and for the first time felt his conscience uneasy, just because of the words he said wrongly.
Sometimes he really thinks he's funny, obviously he is afraid to know the truth, but he just wants to let the truth come out, and he really puts it in front of him but wants to destroy it as if nothing happened.
In fact, that night, in that unfathomable look, he vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he had been lying to himself all the time and was unwilling to face it. A momentary misalignment pushed the truth that could be revealed at any time further, and then comforted himself that it was not that he didn't want to know the truth, but that he didn't have that opportunity......
Later, thinking of the inner struggle in the past few days, Mo Bing would smile bitterly. It is said that he lives a frank and fearless life, but he doesn't even dare to reveal the truth, what a funny thing.
The ship got closer and closer, and the fire on the bow didn't know when it was extinguished, and when they got closer, they couldn't hear any screams, there was nothing unusual on the ship except for a cloud of black smoke and things that were thrown up, and there was not even a single person on the deck, but the more this happened, the more Mo Bing's heart felt bad.
As he was nearing it, he took off and landed on the bow of the ship, keeping the coachman and the boatman farther away, so that if anything happened they would not be affected.
As he had seen, there was no one on deck, but there was a lot of noise in the cabin. He jumped off the deck and deliberately made some noise when he landed on the deck, but no one came out of it.
Mo Bing approached the cabin step by step, then pulled out his silver sword and opened the door of the cabin. This opening made him dumbfounded, there were many people lying up and down squatting inside, each with five flowers tied up and down, and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth, no wonder he couldn't hear the sound of talking.
He looked around and didn't see the person he thought he would see, but he saw someone who made him gasp even more.
I don't know when the clothes on the little baby were dirty, and the tightly tied hair also hung down a few times, and the white and pink face was actually coated with dust, and when I saw him, a pair of eyes were hazy with tears, which made him feel distressed to death. He was the only one in the entire cabin who was not tied with a rope, so when he saw Mo Bing, the little baby ran towards him with a wow.
Mo Bing immediately squatted down and hugged the little baby into his arms, and the killing intent in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.
