For two days in a row, Liu Kan and others traveled to Xiaosu at night, avoiding official roads, and marching in the jungle and mountains. {First Reading}

The road is indeed a bit farther detoured, but it is also much safer. At least in Liu Kan's opinion, the journey has been smooth.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Liu Kan and others finally walked out of the mountains and stopped on the bank of the Yishui River.

Here, also known as Qiyang, is a ferry crossing that is not too big. From here, all the way to the south, down the river, you can reach the next

Liu Kan and the others found a valley and settled down temporarily.

At the same time, people were sent to Qiyang Ferry to check the situation. If things go well, Qin Man should be here to join him.

To be honest, Liu Kan is not too reassured. But with so many children, it is obviously unrealistic to want to travel through many states and counties. Not to mention what the situation is outside, even if these children are innocent, don't they have to be noticed?

There is no way to ask Qin Man for help.

Fortunately, the children were not hungry, so there was no noise. After this series of changes, these children have grown up.

At least compared to the children who were born in greenhouses, they have shown unusual maturity.

Liu Kan leaned on the wheel, closed his eyes and rested.

Zhong Limo teased his precious niece, chuckling twice from time to time.

It wasn't until noon that the people who had been sent returned to the country. Accompanying them, there were also Lu Shizhi and Wang Xin, who saw Liu Kan at first. Both men burst into tears.

"Master, I thought you didn't believe it!"

Liu Kan couldn't help but smile and gently rubbed Wang Xin's head, "It's only been a few days, how can I learn to be a girl, don't cry!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Shizhi.

"If you don't believe it, why are you crying?"

"Brother Kan, you're finally back...... I've been in fear for the past two days. I always think about how I will explain to my second sister when I go back if something happens to you. ”

"Whew!"

Liu Kan was furious, "You guy, you think about me all day long...... Okay, don't talk nonsense, Miss Man has arrived in Qiyang? ”

Lu Shizhi nodded again and again, "Miss Man received the news and came out of Qishan overnight. Arrived at Qiyang Ferry. However, it is not possible to travel tonight. Miss Man asked me to give you an account and endure it for two more days. She'll try to get the boats, and then we'll go by water, safer. ”

"By water?"

Zhong Liwu frowned. "Isn't that slow? And. Even if you go by water, I'm afraid you need a lot of boats, so it's not easy to do. ”

Liu Kan laughed and said softly: "Those who know me, Miss Man!" ”

"Shizhi, what's the situation outside?"

Lu Shiyi was stunned, "What's the situation?" It was quiet outside and there was no wind. Brother Kan. These children. How did you get it back? ”

Liu Kan didn't answer, and froze in place.

No wind?

He glanced at Zhong Lifu. Seeing Zhong Liyu, he also had a confused look.

That's a few hundred Qin troops...... Not to mention anything else, just because these children were taken away, didn't the government react at all?

Odd!

Liu Kan thought for a while, "Shizhi, you rush back to Qiyang immediately and tell Miss Man...... Let's just say that let her pay more attention to the movements of the government, and don't take it lightly. I can only wait here for two days, and if I don't get on the boat as soon as possible, these children will be a problem after all. ”

Lu Shizhi nodded again and again, stepped on the horse and returned along the same road.

Wang Xin stayed, and in addition to bringing Liu Kan's red rabbit horse, he also brought Liu Kan's weapons with him. At the beginning, when Liu Kan came out, he did not carry a red flag. The reason is very simple, the appearance of the red flag is so unique that it is easy to be exposed.

Perhaps, in the entire Surabaya County, he is the only one who uses such a weapon.

Shao Ping has seen it, and many Lantian Jiashi in Surabaya County have also seen it, it is too eye-catching. After staying in the valley for two days, Lu Shi came to deliver a letter: the boat was ready, and he left early in the morning, and asked Liu Kan and them to take their children and arrive at Qiyang Ferry at midnight to board the ship. Qin Man also specially instructed: Be more careful.

In fact, there is no need for Qin Man's entrustment, Liu Kan will also be careful. After nightfall, he let the children get into the car, and the group drove the carriage and horses, while Liu Kan stepped on the red rabbit and marched to the Qiyang ferry.

Before midnight, the carriages and horses quietly arrived at the ferry port.

The water was rolling and flowing, and I saw that at the ferry, there were fifteen large-wing boats moored. This is a kind of merchant ship that is based on the Wuyue large-wing warship.

The warship, Qin Man will definitely not be able to transfer it.

But this kind of merchant ship, with the prestige of the Qin family, it is not difficult to transfer.

The people who drove the boat were all attached to the Qin family (doorman bodyguards). According to Lu Shizhi, the ownership of these ships has now belonged to the Qin family. In order to make up for these fifteen large-wing merchant ships, Qin Man spent thousands of Yi gold, and finally transferred them and anchored them on the riverside.

A large-winged merchant ship that can carry up to one hundred and twenty people.

Two of the ships already had guests, and they were none other than Zhong Liwu's fellow villagers. It turned out that as early as the day after Zhong Liwu and them came out, Qin Man sent someone to pick up the surviving old and weak women and children in Yilu Township. There are not many people, only 100 people.

Qin Man is still wearing light armor and wearing silk around his waist.

Liu Kan jumped off the war horse, walked in front of Qin Mandi, and said with a deep salute: "Miss Man, Kan is reckless, not only failed to accompany Miss Man to investigate the salt farm, but also tired Miss Man, I really don't want to go." Regardless of whether the elder recognizes me or not, Kan's promise remains the same.

In addition, I plan to move the Surabaya Huadiaodi Liquor Farm to Jiangyang.

At the end of the year, I will send someone to Wu County, and I will ask Miss Man to take care of me at that time. ”

Qin Man's beautiful eyes lit up, and then they were a little gloomy.

"You, won't you come with us?"

Liu Kan glanced at the ship and said with a wry smile: "These merchant ships can accommodate up to 1,500 people. Your escort shall have eight hundred men, plus the horses...... And those children, I'm afraid it's hard to accommodate me and wait. And, if we go together, we have to make a stop halfway through. I am afraid that this kind of merchant ship will not be able to anchor at the small ferry, and it will not be even more dangerous at that time. ”

Qin Man bit his lip lightly and looked at Liu Kan quietly.

"Then you ......"

"Miss Man, listen to me. I've checked the map and from here, all the way south, there are only three ferry crossings to stop. Tan County, Xiapi, and then directly to Chengzi and into Huaishui. Whichever place you are, as soon as you moor, you're sure to attract attention.

Therefore, I suggest that you go south along the Yishui, turn into Surabaya in the Xiapi area, and then go south to reach Huaishui, and then disembark from Zhongli in the west.

You can avoid a lot of trouble by going all the way this way.

As for me, I'd like to stay here and continue to investigate and see what the situation is before making a decision. ”

Qin Man looked at Liu Kan, and said softly after a while: "Since you already have an idea, then I won't force you...... But it's still early before the departure time, so take a walk with me, okay Liu Kan was stunned, nodded lightly, and agreed.

Two people, strolling along the banks of the Yishui River. But the wind is light and the stars are shining.

It was a rare good weather, and it made people feel much brighter. Qin Man didn't speak, and Liu Kan didn't speak either.

Just walking side by side, walking......

It's a really good feeling!

Liu Kan turned his head sideways, glanced at Qin Man, and suddenly smiled: "If we continue to walk like this, I'm afraid that we will go to Xiapi." ”

Qin Man said softly: "If I can really go on like this, even if it is to the ends of the earth, I am very willing in my heart." ”

The voice was very small, and Liu Kan didn't hear it clearly.

"What did you say?"

"Ah, I didn't say anything!"

Qin Man said, turned around, turned his back to Liu Kan, and quietly looked at the Yishui River.

Liu Kan didn't ask any more questions, leaning on a willow tree and looking at Qin Man's back. The moonlight was shining brightly, shining brightly on the surface of the river.

I don't know when, a touch of water vapor rose on the surface of the river, just like wisps.

For Liu Kan, this scene may be an unforgettable scenery for his life. Gently rubbed his nose and said in his heart: What a moonlight beauty!

Is it the moonlight that adds to Qin Man's charm, or does Qin Man make the moonlight more moving?

Liu Kan couldn't say it clearly, and he didn't want to say it clearly......

Two people, one sitting by the river, the other leaning against a tree. Time passed like this, little by little, until a call was heard in the distance.

It was Qin Zhou, a retainer of Qin Mandi.

He ran over panting and saluted, "Miss, everyone has already boarded the boat and arranged it...... Look at our ......"

Qin Man stood up and looked at Liu Kan with a somewhat confused gaze.

"Aren't you really going together?"

Liu Kan shook his head.

"Cooperate with you, I will help you explain to your ancestors...... If my ancestors agree, I will come to you again in the spring of the next year at the latest. ”

"Actually, no matter whether the cooperation is successful or not, I will welcome Miss Man in the building."

"Really?"

Qin Man's eyes lit up and he looked at Liu Kan.

For some reason, at this moment, Liu Kan's heart suddenly twitched.

"Of course it's true!"

He replied in a deep voice, then looked at the sky, and said softly, "Miss Man, cherish!" ”

"Cangling, you also cherish it!"
