"With such a big river and such a high mountain, there is no end to the big river beach. With such a big river and such a high mountain, the people don't have food and clothing every year! ”

On the riverside, I don't know where the woodcutter's song came, and it was long and long, slowly drifting into the eardrums. The battle outside Wuchang City has ended, and the smell of blood has not yet dissipated, and the fishermen rowed small boats to the river to earn food, mixed with the rolling Yangtze River that cannot be seen at a glance, and the indescribable miserable desolation.

Miss An has been pampered since she was a child, and her face turned pale from the shouts and war drums in the direction of Wuchang, and she was very uncomfortable when she saw the familiar appearance of these civilian merchants. was also worried about Zhao Xian's safety, and stood on the bow of the boat and watched from afar.

Seeing Zhao Xian come back safe and sound, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't know what the process was, but the danger of Wuchang was solved, it must have something to do with Zhao Xian. Glancing at Zhao Xian as if she didn't have any, she lowered her head with a slightly red face, biting her lower lip and showing her shyness, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Liu Yan'er sat at the window on the second floor of the cabin, with a small table in front of her, the tea was steaming, and the imperial doctor was carefully brewing tea on the small stove.

Liu Yan'er's eyes were full of admiration, and she chuckled: "A clever plan to resolve the danger of Wuchang, with this courage alone, there are few men in the world who can do it." ”

"That's nature." Imperial Doctor Feng bowed his head lightly and said with a smile: "Adults are sometimes very improper, but that is all on the surface, and they are more upright and intelligent than anyone else in their hearts. ”

"Yo!" Liu Yan'er's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked back at the Feng Imperial Doctor who was drinking tea with her head down, and said suspiciously: "Sister Feng, when did the adults become serious?" Have you seen it? Such good things for him. Don't you want to be the general's wife? ”

"Whoa! Talk nonsense. Feng Imperial Doctor's face turned red, as if he remembered that Zhao Xian had threatened to marry her, his face was extremely strange, and there was a little resentment in his eyes, and he snorted softly: "I am innocent, where have I seen an adult's indecent appearance, you don't want to ruin my reputation, be careful that I prick you girl with a needle." ”

Liu Yan'er chuckled a few times, looked at Miss An standing on the bow of the boat, and snickered: "It's not strange that you like it." Look at Miss Ann. was lost by her cousin, and she didn't dare to say it, but in fact, everyone on the ship knew about it except herself. ”

"Mo Yan is talking nonsense." The Wind Imperial Doctor covered her little mouth again and again. Said angrily: "The housework of the people's mansion. You also follow the foolishness. Adults treat you as a friend and treat you with courtesy, but you have to remember your identity, and I can't save you if you anger Miss An. ”

"Oh!" Liu Yan'er laughed a few times. He covered his mouth and said nothing.

Hu Yidao ran to the boat in a hurry, and was about to stand on the bow of the boat to look at the scenery, but unexpectedly saw Miss An, and his triangular eyes couldn't help but show a little surprise. In fact, when he saw women, seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, it was normal to think crankily all day long.

"Don't be full of pink flowers, and red fruits will be all over the mountain. A lone sail berthed, and the beauty greeted the ship early. Hu Yidao shook a few words, then stepped forward and clasped his fists slightly, and chuckled: "Junior brother Hu Yidao has seen his sister-in-law, this is polite." ”

"Poof!" The Wind Imperial Doctor squirted out all the tea in one gulp, and his face was flushed and coughed lightly.

An Birou stared at the boss with both eyes, and only after a while did she react and call her, her face was as red as a red cloth, and she scolded angrily and shyly: "What sister-in-law, I... I ......" Although he tried his best to refute, a few strange meanings flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Zhao Xian as if he didn't have any.

Zhao Xian didn't expect him to come up and make such a big oolong, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "A knife, don't shout, there is no sister-in-law on this ship." This is the eldest lady of the An family, and she is also my nominal cousin. ”

"Oh?" Hu Yidao knew that he had made a mistake, but he was not ashamed at all, but said with a slight light in his eyes: "It turned out to be my cousin, I am a knife, you can call me Daodao, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." ”

Knives and knives? Miss An was choked enough, no wonder Zhao Xian spoke seriously, it turned out that it was all this kid who brought it bad.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help glaring at Hu Yidao a few times indignantly, although she hadn't fallen in love yet, but looking at the current situation, the smart and steady eldest lady in the past had her IQ to zero. Zhao Xian, a man who is bad from head to toe, still needs someone to take him?

Hu Yidao touched the ash of his nose, and couldn't help but smile stupidly: "Brother Xian, your sister's temper is not very good at all." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Zhao Xian said nonchalantly: "This is quite polite, I really like to bite people when I am really angry, and my shoulder still hurts." Zhao Xian rubbed his shoulder, he was bitten a few times last time he was kind enough to save her, he was really angry, and he will find a way to bite it back another day.

"Shut up." Miss An hurriedly glared at him, her face was full of shame and anger, afraid that something would happen to him. Hurriedly trotted into the cabin in a few steps.

Zhao Xian smiled casually when he saw this, and shouted at the top: "Miss Feng, Miss Liu, come out to pick up ...... Phew! Look at my. Hurry up and pack your things and get ready to go. ”

Within a moment, Imperial Doctor Feng and Liu Yan'er walked out, and Ziyue followed behind. Zhao Xian led Hu Yidao and introduced in turn: "This is the Feng Imperial Doctor, my personal nurse." This is Liu Yan'er, nicknamed Changzhou Yizhihua, the only female member of the army in Daliang, my chief engineer, like Sister Su, is my virtuous helper! ”

"Your Excellency!" Liu Yan'er was taken aback suddenly, and hurriedly bowed and said: "This title is humiliating and ashamed, Xian Neizhu is called Mrs. Ling, how can it be used on us." ”

"Just kidding, don't take it so seriously." Zhao Xian laughed a few times shamelessly, and then stopped teasing them. When Miss An came down, everyone went to Wuchang together.

At this time, it was already twilight, because of the daytime war, the merchants on the wharf were afraid of the Northern Qi Dynasty and did not move, and wanted to wait for the complete calm.

"Which firm's ship is so bold that it actually crossed the river at this time." At this moment, several exclamations were heard from the dock.

Zhao Xian, who was riding on a horse, turned his head, but saw a few shouts on the river, and there were bursts of crisp horns. Faintly accompanied by the melodious sound of wind chimes. As far as the eye can see, there is a ship coming from afar, with large bamboo baskets and wooden boxes on board, containing medicinal herbs, tea and other things, and the draft of the merchant ship is very shallow.

On the ship, there were Han people with black eyes and yellow skin, but in the middle were a few aliens who were taller than ordinary people, with a straight nose bridge, light blue eyes, with a cross around their necks, and a holy look in black robes.

"It's... Western Fanyi from Northern Qi? Liu Yan'er was quite surprised and poked her head out of the carriage. The big eyes flashed a little curiosity. She was already curious about the unknown. These Westerners, whom she had only seen in books, naturally aroused her interest.

Miss An also poked her head out, and when she heard this, her face showed a little anger. said to Zhao Xian beside him: "These thieves are so bold. Fang Cai also attacked Wuchang on a large scale, causing rivers of blood to flow outside the city. But they still dare to swagger past us, and there is no one in sight! Zhao Xian, you go and take them down. They all cut off the sacrificial flags. ”

Her uncle to the fourth uncle all died in the hands of Northern Qi on the battlefield, and every rank in the ancestral hall of the An family is a trace engraved on the hearts of the descendants of the An family, no wonder Miss An hates the people of Northern Qi.

The merchant ship was moored on the wharf with ease, looking as usual, not panicking, and not at all nervous because of the offensive of the Northern Qi in the morning. And the boring merchants on the dock also surrounded them, not embarrassed, but probed their brains to see those few rare Westerners.

Northern Qi and Daliang are two extremes, Daliang regards tradition as the foundation of the country, and with the efforts of the world's scholars, literature, etiquette and so on have developed to the extreme. On the contrary, the Northern Qi Dynasty gradually gave birth to the idea of 'reading a bird for a bird' under the joint efforts of several countries, seeking change in a desperate situation, directly abandoning tradition, sticking to pragmatism, vigorously focusing on science and technology, and not paying attention to traditional literature such as the Four Books and the Five Classics. On both sides of the Yangtze River, everyone looks down on each other, giving rise to a deep cultural generation gap.

Daliang is the first to be respected by the people, while those businessmen and missionaries in the West who don't understand Han culture like to think more about the development of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Su Wanyun was also sitting in the car, and when she saw that Miss An was angry, she smiled softly: "Birou, don't be reckless, these are civilian caravans coming and going between the two sides of the strait, and they can't be attacked." My people of Daliang traded with the Northern Qi Dynasty with silk, tea, calligraphy and paintings, in exchange for the strange and clever tricks and Western goods of the Northern Qi Dynasty, this kind of business exchanges, in Wuchang has a hundred years of history, the Holy God has been gracious, the Northern Qi Dynasty is also allowed. Even at the height of the fighting, the private dealings between the people of the two places never stopped. ”

Where there is demand, there is trade, even the war cannot block this most primitive need, Zhao Xian nodded and said, "What Sister Su said makes sense. There is no contradiction between fighting a war because of national interests and trade exchange as a demand for people's livelihood. We are all Han people from the same line as the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it is certain that we will interact with each other. ”

The war between Northern Qi and Daliang, to put it bluntly, is a farce of the birth of an uncle and niece to seize the throne, and the civilians have already been forced to suffer by this war.

Su Wanyun nodded lightly and said with a smile: "The Northern Qi caravan came and went here, and married many women from Daliang, and there were also girls from Northern Qi who admired the talents of Daliang and married. The intermarriage between the two peoples has never been interrupted since ancient times, which is the trend of the times, and it cannot be stopped. ”

When An Birou heard this, she also understood, nodded lightly, and said with a straight face: "Intermarriage and trade are the needs of people's livelihood, and it is understandable. It's just that these two countries are fighting endlessly, and how to effectively prevent Northern Qi from spying on intelligence is the most important thing. There are many people in this merchant ship, and no one can guarantee that which one of them is a spy from the Northern Qi Dynasty. ”

At the mention of spies, Su Wanyun's face stiffened slightly, shook her head and smiled: "How is it possible, if you are suspicious, you can send someone on the ship to open the boxes and check them one by one, it is not easy for businessmen to come and go, as long as you don't deliberately embarrass him, they will accept this request." ”

While a few people were talking, the merchant ship had already unloaded most of its goods, and a few wagons had come down, and a few missionaries were not merchants, but they were directly on the dock pulling people and gods to preach. The ordinary merchants in the team talked loudly with the merchants on the shore, and from time to time there were joyful laughter of the villagers meeting each other. The merchants of the Northern Qi Dynasty walked cautiously, smiling when they saw people, and they were afraid that their steps would be heavier and cause big trouble in this foreign country.

The crisp bells of "jingle bell" and "jingle bell" drifted past my ears, and several carriages of the caravan passed slowly in front of me, and the middle one was not much different from the others. There is a white wind chime hanging on the car curtain, the car curtain is shaky, and the wind chime jingle is beautiful, attracting many people to turn their eyes.

Hu Yidao's eyes widened, this person from Northern Qi was outside the battlefield, and it was the first time he had seen it. As the carriage with the wind chimes passed by, he poked his head out to glance at it, and suddenly exclaimed, "Woman! There's a woman in there! ”

His voice was neither loud nor small, and it happened to be heard by everyone around him.

The sound burst through everyone's eardrums like thunder, startling the merchants who had entered in front of them. Zhao Xian didn't say a word and knocked on the door of his head: "It's a little bit out of the way, okay?" Haven't you seen a woman yet? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? ”

Zhao Xian hurriedly looked around and scanned. Look and see. Not to mention a woman, there is not even a female fly on the dock.

Hu Yidao stared straight at the carriage with his eyes, and muttered: "What a beautiful woman, there is no reason for heaven." How could Northern Qi grow such a beauty?! I thought that Yijun's sister-in-law was the most beautiful in the world. didn't expect this woman to be similar to Yijun's sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Xian followed Hu Yidao's gaze. I saw that on the carriage in the middle, the curtain was slightly lifted, faintly revealing the figure of a woman.

The woman didn't look very old. He looked like he was about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a thin black and white skirt, with a long bulging skirt floating around like a cloud, and his face was covered with a transparent light veil, and the outline of his cheeks could be faintly seen. The bridge of the nose is slightly erected, the jade teeth are half exposed, and the red lips are slightly upturned, outlining a pretty smile.

The cloud-like hair is sprinkled like a rushing black waterfall, the skin is as clear as the beautiful jade of Tianchi, and the beautiful eyes are slightly flowing, looking around. Those eyes were like stars in the sky, deep and clear, shining with crystal light.

Zhao Xian's wives, Guang Yijun and Sister Liu are estimated to be able to compare all the women in the world, Huang Tiantian and Xiaomeng have not yet grown, but they are also the beauty of the country.

He thought he had a very high immunity to beautiful women, and this woman who suddenly appeared still made him feel indescribably amazing. Those beautiful eyes that shine with a moist luster make me afraid that no one can forget after seeing them. With that innate nobility, it is even a little purer than Queen Xiao.

Not only Zhao Xian, but even Miss An was stunned in the face of this Turkic woman who suddenly appeared.

"What a beautiful girl!" Zhao Xian watched the carriage pass by, and couldn't help but praise it softly.

The curtain of the carriage drooped, and the carriage gradually went away, and the woman came and went as fast as a breeze in the air. The crisp wind chimes faded away. Hu Yidao shook his head and said: "I, Hu Yidao, have lived for seventeen years, but I have never seen such a watery Northern Qi woman, hey!" It's a pity......"

Zhao Xian originally wanted to be debauched, but when he saw Miss An's resentful gaze, he also retracted, patted Hu Yidao's shoulder and said, "What's a pity, if you think it's beautiful, you go up and ask for a birthday or something, and she still dares to mess around on the master's territory?" If you dare to do it, I will tie her back and clean her up, anyway, it is a woman from Northern Qi, and I don't have to worry about the court's investigation. ”

"Zhao Xian." Su Wanyun's face immediately turned cold, and she said unhappily: "You are a general, you are not here to harm innocent civilians, Northern Qi or Daliang are all people, how can you make things so difficult for others?" ”

"Just kidding, how can you be rough when chasing girls." Zhao Xian hehehe Remember to show your masculine side, and come to two songs with good words and sentences, maybe you will impress her. When the time comes, I'll do it for you. ”

Hu Yidao touched the back of his head, smiled and said, "Brother Xian, you are not righteous, let me take the lead if you don't dare to go." ”

"Phew!" Zhao immediately became angry: "What do you mean I don't dare to go?" Am I such a timid person? ”

"Then there you go!." Hu Yidao smiled.

"Just go..."Zhao Xian raised his hand and was about to go, nodded, suddenly reacted again, turned around and knocked on the door of his head, and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, you dare to provoke me, you don't want to give you a chance, then forget it, anyway, I don't have to worry about my daughter-in-law, you can do it yourself." ”

"Enough!" Miss An couldn't hold back any longer, poked her head out of the carriage, and scolded, "Why are you two so shameless? The girl's family is already taking a risk when she goes out, and you have nothing to do to find trouble with others, and you don't know how to arrange you when it spreads, and you don't know how to think about your reputation. ”

Zhao spread his hands stupidly, walked to the car window and said with a smile: "Miss, I'm making a plan for a knife, and I don't want to rob the people's daughter, the marriage is to be created by myself." If you don't say anything, how can no one take the initiative to achieve a good marriage? ”

Miss An was slightly stunned, her face suddenly flushed a little crimson, and she didn't know where to go, she nodded lightly and said, "Yes, no one takes the initiative, how can you achieve marriage......"

"Isn't this enough, men's affairs, women's families don't care." Zhao Xian nodded with satisfaction, came to Hu Yidao's side again, and urged: "Go, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Hu Yidao licked his lips, and in his slit-like triangular eyes, he showed a few traces of excitement, and hooked his handsome hair quite coquettishly, and then took the guards such as Virtue and rushed towards the caravan with great momentum. (To be continued......)
