The team is all on horseback, because they have walked through this official road before, so everything seems to be familiar, the team is still in formation as always, there are more than a dozen cavalry in front as the vanguard, Chu Huan is in the team, and there are also cavalry on both wings, pay attention to the movement on both sides.

When they first sent an envoy to Xiliang, many people in the Guards felt that at least in the territory of Daqin, no one dared to offend them, but later they were ambushed in the overflowing woods, and fortunately, Chu Huan had already arranged to defeat the gang of bandits in one fell swoop, so this time when they went to Anyi, the Guards were more cautious than last time.

Although the national strength of Daqin is weak now, there are thieves in all provinces, but the turbulent areas, mainly in the northwest and southeast regions, as far as the other provinces, although there is no lack of turmoil, but there is no climate for the time being, and the local governments have also been making every effort to suppress the turmoil, but although the bandits have not been able to form a climate, there is naturally no shortage of robberies, and there are even many bandits in number, although they can't make a big deal, but they can still do it with a small fight.

The road from Beijing to Xishan Road is also quite smooth, this day at dusk to the outskirts of Yunshan Mansion, Chu Huan ordered the team to stop, camped on the spot to rest, and did not lead his subordinates into the city, just summoned Xuanyuan Sheng to come over, admonished, led ten guards to the city for a trip, Xuanyuan Sheng now also knows that Chu Huan's home is in Yunshan, Chu Huan passed through his hometown, went to visit, that is also a reasonable thing.

He thought that Chu Huan would not be able to return until the second day at the earliest, but he knew that Chu Huan would come back in the middle of the night, find Xuanyuan Shengcai, and said: "Let's go to Taiyuan Mansion, there are two roads, water and land." If you are traveling by land, after entering Angep Road, you will encounter many mountain roads, and there are more detours, and it is estimated that it will take at least two or three days to travel. If you go by water, you can go all the way north along the Jingjiang River, you can reach Fenglindu outside Taiyuan Fu, and you can reach Taiyuan Fu in less than a day from Fenglindu landing. ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled: "Everything is up to the adults." ”

Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "Walking by water can save a few days, and it seems that it is more comfortable than taking ...... land!" There was a pause, but he was thoughtful, and he didn't speak for a while.

Chu Huan remembers clearly, he walked through the waterway at the beginning, from the Fenglindu outside Taiyuan Mansion down the river, up to the boundary of Xishan Road, Jingjiang can be regarded as a big river in the north of the empire, the river is wide, meandering and flowing, shuttling through Anyi and Xishan, but the last time he traveled from the Jingjiang River, it did not leave a very good impression on Chu Huan, the blood club led by Lin Dai'er kidnapped Qiao Mingtang's wife on the Jingjiang River, and a boatload of passengers implicated him, Chu Huan and Linlang also met in that encounter.

This river is very long, because there are traces in his heart, Chu Huan is hesitating whether to go north from the Jingjiang River, he is not afraid of accidents, but Chu Huan also learned that most of the soldiers of the Guards are northerners, and it is not a problem to ride horses.

Although it takes a few more days to travel by land, it is self-defeating to abandon the land route and take the waterway, although Chu Huan does not feel that anyone dares to do anything to the two hundred guards on the Jingjiang River, but he still has some worries in his heart.

"If it's comfortable, let's go by water." Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled: "My lord seems to be worried, do you still think that someone will dare to do something to us in Jingjiang?" ”

Chu Huan thought about it, and Xuanyuan Shengcai already smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, even if there are hairy thieves and Jiang bandits, the last general doesn't think they dare to kill themselves." He took out a silver ingot from his bosom and said with a smile: "My lord, why don't we make a bet, if we meet a river bandit, the twenty taels of silver will belong to you, if the road is safe, after going ashore, the adult will lose me twenty taels of silver." ”

Chu Huan laughed and said, "If we go by water, then we will rush to Jingjiang before tomorrow afternoon." After I entered the city, I saw Wei Tianqing, the commander of the Yunshan Mansion Praetorian Guard, and he had already sent someone to Guandu to arrange boats for us. ”

Xuanyuan Sheng nodded yes.

Early the next morning, the team set off, less than half a afternoon, it has arrived at the bank of the Jingjiang River, the Guandu Wharf on the bank of the Jingjiang River can be found as long as a little inquiry, this is a large wharf, by the Yunshan Prefecture Department of the Department of Household Transport is in charge of the Department of Transport, the officials of the Ministry of Household Transport are subordinate to the Department of Households, and are responsible for the transfer of ships here all the year round.

When Chu Huan and his party came here, a group of officials in charge of Caoyun were waiting here early, the highest official of the Guandu Wharf was Du Cheng, the grade was not high, Chu Huan was the head of the household department, that was the boss of his boss's boss, he was also the first time to see such a high-level official of the household department, be cautious, before Chu Huan arrived, he had already sent someone to sort out the wharf, although he got the news that Lord Chu Shilang was just going to board the boat from the dock and leave, but he still hoped that this wharf could give Lord Shilang a good impression, For low-level officials in these places, sometimes a word from a high-ranking official can change their fate.

Jingjiang is not small, and there are not a few ships mobilized, although many have already left the dock, but Du Cheng still tried his best to mobilize four large ships.

When Chu Huan saw these four big ships, he understood what a real official ship was, compared to the passenger ship he took before, the official ship was much larger, a ship could easily accommodate hundreds of people, and if the four ships were really squeezed, there would be no problem with five or six hundred people.

The four official ships have been cleaned up, and even in order to please Lord Lang, each ship is equipped with a cook and a boatman, and a lot of living necessities have been purchased in advance to put on them, not to mention the meat eaten, even the rare vegetables in this season, and even equipped with them, Chu Huan has never paid attention to pomp before, he is an extremely casual and simple person, this time he finally appreciated the benefits of being a high-ranking official, everything was prepared by someone properly, much better than he thought, To this day, he still doesn't understand a truth, his subordinates have always done their best to do things for their bosses, and the results they have achieved cannot be worse than what their bosses expect, or even the same as what their bosses expect, only if they exceed their boss's expectations, they can be appreciated.

Chu Huan's identity is not ordinary, so when arranged, Chu Huan's ship did not arrange a few people, except for Chu Huan, Sun Zikong and two camel riders, and four guards on this ship, in addition to two cooks and four boatmen, a ship that can accommodate hundreds of people, only a dozen people on it, it seems more and more wide, and even a little deserted.

Chu Huan's ship was in the second row, and the vanguard in front was Xuanyuan Shengcai's ship, which had nearly 100 people on that ship, and more than 20 people on the third ship, but most of the horses were arranged on the third ship, and the ships behind the palace were all settled on it except for seventy or eighty guards officers and soldiers.

The officials of Guandu did their best, Chu Huan couldn't help but comfort a few words, praise a few words, and the crowd of people suddenly burst into joy, until the four official ships Yang Fan went north, and everyone still sent a few miles along the river bank, reluctantly, just hoping that these few miles would be sent down, and Lord Shilang would be able to remember one or two.

Although the Jingjiang River is meandering, there is no fork in the river road from Xishan Ferry to Anyi Fenglindu, only need to go all the way north, if everything goes well, you can arrive at Fenglindu in three or four days.

At the beginning of leaving the ferry, the two banks of the wide Jing River were flat, and the eyes were extremely far away, and by the time the mountains and forests began to appear on both sides, the sky had already darkened.

The cooks prepared meals as soon as they got on the boat, and the other ships ate a big pot of rice, but Chu Huan's arrangement on this ship was very rich, and the cook's skills were obviously better than the cooks on several other ships, and the meals sent up were full of color, flavor, and flavor, it seems that the officials at the ferry also put their minds to it, although Chu Huan's status is noble, but he has never had any shelf, so Sun Zikong took two camel riders to patrol outside the ship first, but let the other four guards soldiers enter the cabin to dine together, These guards had also been to Xiliang with Chu Huan before, and knew that although this Lord Chu was young, he was mature and sophisticated and clean, and the most commendable thing was to treat people well.

When a few people had eaten, Sun Zikong and the others took turns to come in, and they were the boatmen on the ship, and Chu Huan also treated them equally, and sent someone to deliver the meal.

The official ship has an independent cabin, which has already prepared beds and bedding, everything is available, Chu Huan can see the sparkling river through the window of the cabin, he carries his hands behind his back, standing by the window, there is a crescent moon in the sky, the moonlight is sprinkled down, the autumn breeze is coming, the river is lightly waved, under the moonlight, the waves are sparkling, and a bright moon is reflected on the river.

Chu Huan looked at the river in a daze, walking from this river, he naturally thought of what he had encountered in this river and mountain, and Lin Dai'er's image immediately came into his mind.

He only remembered Lin Daier's face that although she was pretty but cold from beginning to end, now that she thinks about it, it seems that she has seen Lin Daier several times, Lin Daier is full of worries, and the last time she saw Lin Daier was in Tongzhou City, that time Lin Daier and another man appeared in Tongzhou City dressed as a fish seller, Chu Huan could have taken her down at that time, but at that time, she remembered that Lin Daier's companions were all buried in the hands of officers and soldiers, and she was let go after all, but I don't know what kind of situation she is in now.

Chu Huan actually didn't care too much about whether Lin Dai'er was dead or alive, but the red stone he got from Lin Dai'er made Chu Huan doubt all the time.

Chu Huan first got the red stone, but he just thought it was strange, and even thought that it was a token owned by Lin Dai'er herself, and he didn't think much about it, but later the white stone in Xuanyuan Shao's hand and the green stone in Yingren's hand appeared continuously, but it made Chu Huan feel very weird, Xuanyuan Shao is the brave general of the empire, Yingren is the prince of the empire, and Lin Dai'er's identity, to put it nicely, is a chivalrous girl who wanders in the rivers and lakes, to put it badly, it is a group of bandits, what is the connection between the three stones of these three people? Chu Huan is also a little interested in Lin Dai'er's identity and origin, and can be involved with Xuanyuan Shao and even Yingren, is Lin Dai'er really just a female bandit wandering the rivers and lakes?
