From the Grand Canal, the boat travels only fifty or sixty miles in a day, which is a very fast speed, which is much faster than taking the land route.

In these years, there are no highways, the official roads built are full of potholes, the carriage is very inconvenient, and there are no bridges through the state and the province, but whenever you encounter a river, you either directly flow water across the river, if you encounter that kind of deep river, you can only go by boat, as for the mountains and mountains, it is uphill and downhill in the continuous winding, and at the end of the day, people will be exhausted.

When he arrived at the post station, Ji Ning got the news that the number of rooms in the post station was not enough, and he needed to arrange some domestic servants and boatmen to the boat, or find some inns to sleep. Yu Ling was very aggrieved and said: "Young master, if you don't have a place to live, let the slave go to the boat!" ”

Yu Ling was reluctant to leave Ji Ning, but she also knew that it was not proper to stick to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning was still thinking about the woman before at this time, and he thought to himself: "That woman is probably nowhere to stay now, if I don't pay attention to it, it will be difficult for her to escape the pursuit of the government." ”

In addition, Ji Ning is still worried about the problem of sleeping at night when Nalan blows snow.

"Stay." Ji Ning said, "I have a room, but I sleep in the outhouse, it's cold, don't catch a cold!" ”

"Got it!" Yuling seemed to be waiting for Ji Ning to say this, trotting all the way into the room, she didn't even bother to eat dinner, what she had to do first was not to clean up her bed, but to prepare bathing water for Ji Ning, and then she would help Ji Ning bathe, and also prepare a change of clothes for Ji Ning, and then warm the quilt for Ji Ning......

What Yu Ling did was more attentive than a little wife.

"Yongning, it's rare that the weather is good tonight, and it's not too cold, why don't you have a few drinks together?" Han Yu went first to clean up his room briefly, and came over to say to Ji Ning.

Obviously, Tang Xie and the others were also invited, and they also agreed to Han Yu's request.

A few days ago, because he was in a hurry to sail, Ji Ning studied in the cabin during the day, and basically did not participate in the group activities of five people, and he also knew that this was not very good for several old friends. Ji Ning said: "I'll go back and prepare first!" ”

After Ji Ning entered the room, after explaining to Yu Ling, let her sleep in his room first, he came back in the middle of the night to stay up late to read, and slept at the desk at night, not planning to disturb Yu Ling's dream.

……

……

Ji Ning was drinking with Tang Xie and the other four that night, talking about some poems and articles, and in the end, he drank a few more glasses, and went directly into the room to sleep, without even opening the scroll.

At this time, on the same Grand Canal, Zhao Yuanrong and his entourage only walked two more days than Ji Ning, Zhao Yuanrong was in a hurry to return to the capital at first, but after she knew that something had happened in the capital, her trip slowed down.

"Princess, it has been investigated clearly, that oracle bone inscription is indeed not from the hand of Shen Kang, the title university scholar, or the person who wrote this sacrifice, there is someone else! This person's attainments may be above Shen Kang, because he has investigated some of the logic of the oracle bone inscription before, and he knows that the writing technique of this object is very superb. Almost no one can imitate it these days! Zhao Yuanrong's attendant reported the information she had received.

Zhao Yuanrong said with a cautious look on his face: "It's not Shen University, who will it be?" Could it be that there are people in Jinling City who are more knowledgeable than Shen University? ”

"Back to the princess, we investigated that the oracle bone inscription sold before, the final transaction price was set at 100,000 taels, excluding the share collected by the black market, the remaining tens of thousands of taels of silver have not been taken until now, it seems that the person who sold this oracle bone inscription should not attach much importance to the silver money, and his main purpose is likely to disturb the situation in the capital. Nowadays, the scholars of the Dayong Dynasty who have such attainments are definitely second to none in the Temple of Literature and the imperial court, but it seems that no one can achieve such attainments, or ......"

The waitress stopped talking.

Zhao Yuanrong asked, "Or what?" ”

Or, it is very likely that the person who wrote this sacrificial text used the rubbings of the oracle bone inscription that had been handed down in ancient times, and then wrote it through some special technique, and what he contained in the scroll was not a heroic and righteous literary atmosphere, but an evil spirit similar to treachery. This person's purpose may be to endanger the stability of His Majesty and the imperial court! The waitress analyzed.

"Hmm. What you said also has some truth, this palace has remembered it, and then go to investigate the situation of the sacrifice going north to the capital, and must not let this sacrifice go to the capital, no matter what method is used, it must be cut off on the way! ”

Zhao Yuanrong said with some perseverance.

"Yes, princess!" The waitress received the order and left the room, quickly disappearing into the night.

……

……

At this time, Li Jing sent someone to escort the oracle bone inscription, and the team of Qi Niang had already arrived at a section of the Grand Canal.

Originally, Qi Niang wanted to take the land route, but considering the particularity of the oracle bone sacrifice, Li Jing insisted on letting the oracle bone sacrifice take the relatively flat canal, also because he was afraid that there would be any problems on the road.

From Jinling City to the capital in the north, it takes about a month to walk all the way, unless it is a fast horse, Qi Niang originally wanted to use a fast horse to send the sacrificial text to the capital, but also to send the sacrificial text back to the capital one step ahead of Zhu Chuhe, so that she could make a great contribution in front of the prince, but because of Li Jing's obstruction, Qi Niang could only do some things step by step, and she was already a little annoyed by this time.

“…… You don't have to ask for instructions about anything, Governor Li, he is still an official in a place like the capital? As long as the prince's words are spoken, he can not even be a fart. Now Zhu Chuhe is probably close to the capital, if he goes to the capital and sues me in front of the prince, no matter how good I do at that time, the credit will be wiped out by Zhu Chuhe! It's a complete villain! Qi Niang said.

"Qi Niang, it's better to be more careful, I'm afraid that not only Princess Wenren and the people of the Fifth Prince don't want you to send things to the capital, but even the people of Zhu Chuhe will make trouble for you on the road!" The subordinate reminded.

"It's okay, is he a good match for me as my seventh mother? Haha, Zhu Chuhe is just a greedy and lustful villain, before he wanted to get involved in the envoy sent by the altar to assist the prince, but was escaped by the woman of the altar, the status of the altar in the rivers and lakes far exceeds that of other small sects, Zhu Chuhe will offend the altar at this point, which is not tolerated by the prince. Qi Niang said, "Also, he wants to do something to me, but unfortunately he doesn't know that there is an illusion in this world...... So that he could ******** and at the same time, nothing happened. Pity him for this villain, he thought he got everything, but in fact, he didn't get anything, it was just a dream of his Nanke! ”

"Qi Niang?" The subordinates looked at Qi Niang in surprise, and they didn't understand what Qi Niang was thinking.
