After Su You left Jiangdu County, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he always felt as if he had a lot to say in his heart.

Walking all the way to the wharf, I remembered that I had originally planned to mention to Mai Tiezhu that I wanted to buy hundreds of acres of land in the area of Xihu to build a botanical garden, and I wanted to tell him that I had heard the news in the tea shop on the wharf that the price of grain might rise.

However, when he arrived at the dock again, Su You was not in a hurry to buy land, and the matter of grain prices seemed to be nothing, so he quickly put aside these two things and got on the ship of the Baekje people directly.

As for the boats from Lu Zhongsu that Su You got from Zhang Xin, Su You instructed Lu Sheng to arrange people to take care of them.

The Baekje people's ship was a small sea ship, and although it was only six or seven zhang long, it was no problem for forty or fifty people to go up.

Jin Zhenghong saw that Su You and his wife, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Lu Zhongsu's twenty or thirty subordinates were on the boat, and immediately asked Su Youdao, "Then let's sail?" ”

Su You naturally couldn't understand Kim Jong-hong's Baekje dialect, but Zhang Long and Zhao Hu still had no problem as translators, and after learning what Kim Jong-hong meant from their mouths, Su You nodded.

"Let's go!" Jin Zhenghong gave an order, he had been waiting to shout this password for too long, but there was no Su You on the boat, and there was no Great Sui people to lead the way, how could he dare to say it lightly?

Su You and him are now in the form of wolf bèi, but their purpose now is the same, that is, to persuade the little princess to return to China as much as possible.

After leaving the Yangzhou wharf, the boats on the river became scarce, but Su You could still see the marks left by Wang Bodang and Lu Zhongsu from the river bank from time to time, which guided them to the direction of the Yangtze River.

Jin Zhenghong looked at Su You standing on the deck and frowned, and walked over again and again and asked tentatively, "Is it really okay for us to go like this now?" ”

Su You nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm also very worried about the little princess suddenly going missing, but it's right to chase it like this." ”

Jin Zhenghong pursed his lips, he wanted to ask Su You why he was so sure, but after remembering that he was Laihong's brother-in-law, he immediately retracted into his stomach when the words came to his mouth.

Anyway, a big man like Su You didn't stay in the city for the New Year, but accompanied himself to go crazy to find the little princess who had nothing to do with him, from this point of view, Su You had done enough.

Seeing that Jin Zhenghong didn't speak, Su You added, "You also know, your princess seems to have been a guest on the Yuan family's ship." You may not know the power of the Yuan family, let's just say that eight out of ten ships sailing on this river are theirs. ”

If the Zhangjia boat line had not fallen, the boats on the canal would only account for 30% of the 10% at most, but now it is obviously different, not to mention that the Zhangjia boats basically will not do business in the river south of Yangzhou, so most of the boats they see are Yuan's.

"The Yuan family still has such a big power? If the princess had been a guest at their house, I would have been much more at ease. Kim Jong-hong then nodded, at least on the surface, revealing something that was rarely seen.

Su You pursed his lips imperceptibly, it is true that the Yuan family is powerful, and if this matter is put in the past, there is nothing wrong with it.

But if the Yuan family knew that this princess came to the Central Plains with Laihong, the script would probably not be easy to write.

By the end of the evening, Su You's boat had already crossed the Zhenjiang River, and when they arrived at the dock, the boats came one after another, and the speed of the ship slowed down.

When Su You was about to return to the cabin, he saw more than a dozen large ships sailing on the hazy river not far away, all of which were still carrying the flag of the imperial court.

"What part of these ships are they?"

While everyone was wondering, Kim Jong-hong went down to direct the boatmen to slow down again, while Zhang Long went to the stern of the ship to steer the rudder, preparing to make the boat as much as possible to make way for the ships carrying troops.

Only then did Zhang Long realize that the stern rudder of Baekje had learned from the Great Sui, but he had learned four different things, and it was really not ordinary difficult to operate. In fact, rudder technology is unique to China, and the West will not master this technology until the 19th century, that is, more than 1,300 years after this era.

But this is not the point, the point is that as soon as Zhang Long got started, he let the boat swing horizontally, and the road was not out of the way, but the road was blocked; This matter is obviously not a trivial matter, and even though a few soldiers on the opposite ship were ready to condemn this Baekje ship that did not understand the rules, they could only wait for their superiors to deal with it when they saw Zhao Hu wearing armor on the bow of the ship.

When Su You saw a somewhat familiar figure walking out of the cabin opposite, he couldn't help but greet tentatively, "Is it General Zhu Kuan Zhu on the other side?" ”

"It's Zhu Kuan down there, are you?" The man couldn't imagine that the person on the other side knew him, and after quickly finding Su You who was talking, he didn't remember where they had met.

"General Zhu, this is a triumphant return? In Xia Su You, during the Lantern Festival this year, I happened to see the general in the palace with the sailor He Man coming to see His Majesty. Su You saw him nodding, and he became a little excited for a while.

"Are you Su You Su Hengbo? I don't know where Su Jiangzuo is going? When Zhu Kuan heard that the other party was Su You, he was also happy in his heart, he obviously didn't care about Su You when he saw the car that day, but how could he not know the name of Su You?

At the beginning of the year, the name Su You was the hottest name in the Eastern Capital, not only because of his scandal with Pei Yuyan, not only because he became famous in the Sifang Pavilion in one fell swoop, and not only because of the polo match he held with He Ruoliancheng because of the competition; More importantly, Su You not only raised the possibility of conquering the Ryukyus, but also prepared military salaries.

It's just that in a year's time, Su You is no longer the Su You at that time, he is no longer a general, nor is he a sacrifice, but an official position or something, how can Su You boast about himself when others are triumphant?

"I have some personal matters that need to go to Hangzhou, is your journey still smooth? Is Pei Keqing here? Su You nodded, and then asked about Pei Shiqing; I have to sigh in my heart, the Pei family is really talented, and at the same time, Pei Shiju and Pei Shiqing are two diplomatic talents.

"He volunteered to stay in Fuso, saying that it was to improve the understanding between the two countries."

Su You looked at the ships behind him and asked with some puzzlement, "Your ships seem to be a little small, I remember that there were more than just these people, right?" ”

"This" Zhu Kuan was a little embarrassed, and some words were obviously inconvenient to persuade Su, but thinking about his relationship with Yang Guang, he didn't know how to refuse.

Fortunately, at this time, someone shouted on the boat behind, "Zhu Kuan, what's the situation ahead?" ”

The person who dared to name Zhu Kuan in this fleet, Su You didn't have to guess to know that this person was the general Chen Liang, because Zhu Kuan's top bosses in this fleet were only him and Zhang Zhenzhou, and Zhang Zhenzhou and Su You had met each other.

Su You immediately stood at the bow of the boat and saluted in the direction of this Chen Liang, "It turned out to be General Chen!" The official Imperial Historian Su You, if he is presumptuous, he still looks at Haihan. ”

Chen Liang had naturally heard of Su You's name, but how could he have thought that Su You would be promoted so many levels in one year? Just now, he was afraid that Zhu Kuan would reveal some secrets to his old acquaintance, so he inquired about it, and he didn't expect to lead to such a first- and third-grade master.

Zhu Kuan didn't expect Su You to be promoted to Imperial Doctor so soon, and he regretted talking too much to Su You just now.

"It turned out to be Su Yushi, I don't know where Su Yushi is going?" Chen Liang came back to his senses and asked stubbornly.

"I'm going to go to Hangzhou, I saw General Zhu's back a little familiar just now, so I said hello, it's okay now, let's go back to the Eastern Capital and get together again!" After Su You said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you came in from the mouth of the Yangtze River, did you come across the Yuan family's boat?" ”

Chen Liang shook his head, he relaxed after entering the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it can be said that he slept in the cabin all afternoon.

Zhu Kuan said, "From the mouth of the Yangtze River to here, the boats of the Yuan family are basically driving on the river, right?" If you were a big ship, one of them would have passed us half an hour ago. ”

Su You got the news and immediately thanked him.

The ship set sail again, and Su You's boat and Chen Liang's boat passed by, Chen Liang watched Su You's boat leave quickly, and his eyelids were beating wildly.

"Pei Shiqing stayed in Fusang, it is impossible for Zhang Zhenzhou to stay too, why didn't he show up just now?" When Su You thought of this question, his mood became a little heavy.

Kim Zhenghong learned that the Yuan family's ship was only half an hour away from now under Zhang Long's translation, and he couldn't help but get excited,—— he would be able to see the princess in half an hour, think about it, isn't it a little excited?

If Kim Jong-hong's mathematics was good, he knew that if he kept a constant speed, then they would always be half an hour away from Yuan's ship, but it was a pity that his mathematics was taught by his kendo teacher.

Su You had the intention to speed up the boat, but thinking that now that the sails had been opened, it would not be much faster to use manpower, so he didn't have much hope that he would be able to see the little princess today.

After a tired night, Kim Jonghong had already lost his patience, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally he fell asleep helplessly when Li Min came.

After a night's voyage, the ship had already left the mouth of the Yangtze River; Lai Yanbei, Lu Sheng and others all saw the sea for the first time in a real sense, and they inevitably made some fuss.

When the fog on the sea gradually lifted, and when the sun slowly rose over the sea level in the east, many people silently cheered in their hearts, "It's beautiful." ”

Of course, Su You has been to the beach countless times, but in the real sense, taking a boat to sea is also the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair.

Baekje's ship was now steadily moving in the direction of Hangzhou under the command of Zhang Long, and if they continued to move at this speed, they would eventually see Yuan's ship on the dock in Hangzhou Bay.

Su You and Lai Yanbei stood side by side at the bow of the boat, watching the seagulls fly away from the boat.

When Su You was intoxicated with the embrace of the ocean, Lai Yanbei suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that Senior Lu and Uncle Wang their ship?" ”

Su You looked in the direction she pointed, but saw a small boat coming towards him quickly, and what was even more shocking was that there was a boat behind them.

"That's the Yuan family's ship? They clashed? Su You couldn't help but think of this possibility, and thought a little evilly, "They can't meet the great white shark as soon as they go out to sea, right?" ”
