The sky was bright, and the Tianfu boat, which had been tossing all night, seemed to be exhausted, and was just about to fall asleep, when suddenly a flying pigeon flew over the river, circled a few times, and landed on Liu Qingfeng's hand.

Liu Qingfeng took the letter from the pigeon's feet and let it go.

"If there is a change outside the customs, return to Beijing immediately." The eight words on the note met Liu Qingfeng's eyes, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly knocked on the door of Lord Tian. Tian Daren, who had just fallen asleep, opened the door impatiently, and was about to scold, but when he saw Liu Qingfeng presenting a note, he was taken aback and sobered up.

"Hey, it must be the golden man again. Quick, order all the helmsmen to row at full speed and go full speed. Lord Tian said to Liu Qingfeng.

"Even if you go at full speed, I'm afraid it won't be much faster, and besides, the guards haven't slept all night, and their physical strength won't last long." Liu Qingfeng said.

"What then?" Lord Tian asked anxiously, at this critical juncture, if he is no longer in the palace, not to mention sharing his worries with the emperor, it is likely that there will be people competing for favor in front of the emperor, and I am afraid that he will have no status when he goes back.

"I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I know that there have been steamers in the coastal areas in recent years, and if I can get a steamer, the speed is by no means comparable to this human-powered ship. If the little one is not mistaken, there is one at the next ferry. Liu Qingfeng said.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and go!" Tian was overjoyed.

"Yes, sir!" Liu Qingfeng said. Then he came to the bilge and ordered the guards to move forward at full speed. Although the guards were full of fatigue, as soon as they heard that Lord Tian had a heavy reward, they were all energetic and paddled with all their might.

Liu Qingfeng came to Zhu Qing's side and sneered, "Master Zhu, you come out." Because Zhu Qing saved the big ship of Tianfu, although Lord Tian was grateful, Liu Qingfeng was polite to him, and he no longer called loudly and grandly before.

Zhu Qing put down the oars and went out with Liu Qingfeng.

"Childe." Xiaobao pulled Zhu Qing worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll go and go back." Zhu Qing said with a smile, took Xiaobao's hand and walked out of the bilge with Liu Qingfeng.

When the two men came to the deck, it was dawn and clear, the river breeze was blowing, and the monsoon wind from the south propelled the sailboat forward.

"Lord Liu came out of me alone, didn't you want to watch the sea with me, right? If you have something to say, I still have to go back to rowing to make money, didn't you say that Lord Tian has a lot of rewards? Zhu Qing looked at the wide river, refreshed, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Liu Qingfeng didn't speak, and suddenly took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Qing.

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhu Qing asked suspiciously.

"These are enough for you two brothers to live a leisurely life, take it, and leave the Tianfu boat quickly." Liu Qingfeng said.

"Why? Didn't you say that we should go to Beijing with you? Zhu Qing didn't take the silver ticket and asked.

"Hmph, let's be honest with you, we just received the legend of flying pigeons in the capital, saying that there is a change outside the border, and we will all be sent to the front line to fight when we go back, so it is best not to lose your lives if you two have nothing to do with it." Liu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"I don't care, Lord Tian asked us to follow you, besides, we still have to protect our young lady." Zhu Qing returned the money, turned around and walked to the bilge.

"Huh, follow me? Aren't you afraid that I'll check your background? Don't think I'll believe that you are Miss Chen's buddies, leave quickly, let me find out then, don't say Miss Chen, even Lord Tian can't save you! Seeing that Zhu Qing was unmoved, Liu Qingfeng pinched the silver ticket in his hand angrily, and his eyes showed a cold light.

And after Zhu Qing heard this, although he was shocked, he still walked to the bilge without looking back.

Liu Qingfeng's reason for wanting to get rid of Zhu Qing and Xiaobao was very simple, because he found that Lord Tian admired these two teenagers more and more, and if they were allowed to stay with Lord Tian again, they would one day threaten their position. That's why I came up with this plan, but I didn't expect Zhu Qing to appreciate it. Liu Qingfeng had no choice but to vent his anger on the guards. He walked to the bilge and roared loudly, "Row hard for Lao Tzu, are you still Jinyiwei?" I don't have any strength! ”

Hey, don't say it, Liu Qingfeng roared like this, and the sailboat actually reached the next ferry port at noon, Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang Ferry is connected to the Yangtze River, it can be said that it is the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are many ships coming and going here, and it is along the coast, if you want to find a steamer, Zhenjiang Ferry in this area is the best choice.

After the boat docked, Liu Qingfeng first went to find the heirloom to buy the boat, and the others prepared to pack. Zhu Qing and Xiaobao followed the two guards to the Zhenjiang Market to buy food for the road.

Before leaving, Liu Qingfeng muttered a few words in the ears of the two guards.

"Young master......" Xiaobao saw it and pointed it out to Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing sneered and said, "It's okay, let's act when the opportunity comes." With that, he walked into the Zhenjiang market with the two guards.

After the two guards took Zhu Qing and Xiaobao around the market a few times, they suddenly disappeared!

"Young Master, what should we do if we are dumped?" Xiaobao asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's not like we don't remember the way, let's go, buy a few roast geese, and take them to eat on the road." Zhu Qing said disapprehantly. Xiaobao had no choice but to nod and follow closely behind Zhu Qing, for fear of getting lost in this bustling crowd.

The two finally bought a few roast geese at the market, and then walked around. Zhu Qing looked up at the sun, lowered his head and whispered to Xiaobao, who nodded and ran away. Zhu Qing suddenly shouted, "Catch the thief, catch the thief!" ”

This shout caused chaos in the crowded Zhenjiang market. Xiaobao pretended to run desperately, but he didn't want to be intercepted by another group of people, who turned out to be people from "Li Jiazhai"!

"Hmph, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, dare to steal chickens and touch dogs." Huzi grabbed Xiaobao and just wanted to throw a punch, but Zhu Qing dared to come forward to stop him, "Uncle, misunderstanding, he is my brother, we are joking, joking." "I don't want to be kicked to the ground indiscriminately by Huzi because he is Xiaobao's accomplice.

"Is that you?" Li Zicheng was taken aback when he saw Zhu Qing, and Zhu Qing was even more surprised when he saw Li Zicheng, because he had just kicked Li Zicheng yesterday!

Zhu Qing touched the belly kicked by Huzi and nodded, thinking to himself, this is over, it will fall into the hands of bandits.

"Dad, do you know him?" At this time, Yufeng, who was beside Li Zicheng, glanced at Zhu Qing and said to Li Zicheng with his head bowed.

"He's the boy we're looking for." Li Zicheng said that he was about to go over and help Zhu Qing up, but he was unexpectedly preempted by Yufeng.

"Childe, I'm really sorry, we thought there was really a thief." Yufeng walked to Zhu Qing's side and leaned down to help Zhu Qing up.

Who knew that Zhu Qing was suddenly stupid, if Chen Yuanyuan gave people a coquettish beauty, then the girl in front of him made him feel a calm beauty, a virtuous lady who didn't know how to make a sound, and the tenderness between gestures slowly attacked. Zhu Qing looked at the others, his eyes were motionless, and he saw that Yufeng's delicate face was blushing for a moment, and he could only bow down.

"Ahem." Li Zicheng coughed and walked over.

At this time, Zhu Qing realized that he was holding Yufeng's hand in his hand, and quickly let go of it embarrassedly, and Yufeng also retracted his hand and retreated to his father's back. Peeked at Zhu Qing from time to time.

"Shaoxia, thank you for saving your life that day! In the next ......" Li Zicheng didn't finish speaking, at this time, there was a commotion outside the crowd, and two voices came, "Get out of the way, what's going on?" The voice was getting closer.

Xiang Bo suddenly ran by Li Zicheng's side in surprise and muttered, "Brother Cheng, Jinyiwei, go quickly!" ”

Li Zicheng took Zhu Qing's hand and said, "This matter is a long story, please come with us!" ”

Zhu Qing didn't know what to do, of course he couldn't just follow him in a daze, even if the girl opposite him was very attractive, but he had just promised Chen Yuanyuan to go back to her, so he stood in place for a while and didn't move.

"Childe let's go!" Yufeng stepped forward and pulled a hand.

Zhu Qing shook his head, it came too suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared at all.

"Big brother, let's go!" Xiang Bo pulled Li Zicheng, Huzi pulled Yufeng, and hurriedly withdrew from the crowd.

"What's going on? Where's the thief? At this time, the two brocade guards finally broke through the crowd and rushed to the scene of the crime, which were the two who entered the market with Zhu Qing and Xiaobao.

"Why are you, thieves?" A brocade guard asked Zhu Qing.

"Where did you go without thieves? We can't find you to come up with this idea. Zhu Qing said, pulling Xiaobao up.

The two guards saw that the matter was revealed, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hey, hey, don't talk about it, it's because there are too many people here, we didn't follow." Zhu Qing said, smiling secretly at Xiaobao.

"Yes, yes, there are too many people." The two guards chimed in.

"You've got everything, right? Let's go back. Don't make Ryu-sama wait too long. Zhu Qing said, holding Xiaobao's shoulders and carrying the roast goose swaggering out of the crowd.

Annoyed, the two guards shouted to the crowd of onlookers, "What do you see? Scattered, scattered. Then, with a stomach full of anger, he followed Zhu Qing, returned to the ferry, and walked onto the steamer that was about to start.

The roast goose that Zhu Qing bought back didn't want to be what Lord Tian liked, so he praised Zhu Qing and Xiaobao again and again, Liu Qingfeng saw that Zhu Qing and Xiaobao could come back, and scolded the two guards, "Waste!" ”

"Hey, what are you angry about?" Tian said while nibbling on the roast goose.

"Eh, my lord, the little one is teaching these two unsuccessful subordinates, asking them to help the adults buy roast goose but they didn't buy it." Liu Qingfeng lowered his head and said.

"Gee, what's the matter? Zhu San, didn't they buy it back? Come on, come and eat together. Tian Daren beckoned while eating.

"Yes, Lord Liu, come and eat together, the roast goose tastes good." Zhu Qing took a piece of roast goose leg and smiled at Liu Qingfeng.

"Humph!" Liu Qingfeng glanced at Zhu Qing and did not move.

"Since Lord Liu is not hungry, let's sail." Lord Tian said, it was an order, Liu Qingfeng had to hold his breath and shout, "Let's go!" ”

With Liu Qingfeng's hand, the ship started, at this time, Chen Yuanyuan walked out of the cabin and walked onto the deck under the traction of the matchmaker, Zhu Qing looked at the delicate red in the sun, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Zhu Qing didn't know that when he was looking at Chen Yuanyuan on the edge of the fence, there were also people looking at him who had just left the Zhenjiang ferry not far away, that was the person from "Lijiazhai", and among that group of people, there was one person with reluctance in his eyes, that was Yufeng!

It can really be said that she is standing on the boat and watching the scenery, you are watching her on the boat, the girl on the shore is looking at you, and the girl's father is looking at the roast goose in your hand.

Zhu Qing followed the steamer and gradually walked away, into a new round of sunset.
