Chapter 357: The Great Ship Has Been Found
When Yao Xiang's five personal soldiers approached a towering reed field, they found an anomaly, the reeds here were arranged extremely closely, obviously caused by man, and there seemed to be some tall objects hidden behind these dense reeds.
Getting closer, the five soldiers could see very clearly, behind the towering reeds, it was obvious that there was a boat, and in order to make sure that there was no mistake in judgment, the five soldiers quickly rushed over and removed all the artificial reeds, and suddenly a double-decker boat appeared.
"Big ship, little general, really big ship." A personal soldier beside Yao Xiang was a little excited.
"Little general, with these big ships, our army can cross the river and go north tonight." Another pro-soldier said.
"Hmph, it's quite hidden." Yao Xiang smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned the horse's head, and said softly: "Let's go, go back to the ferry." After speaking, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse rode towards the Wuhu ferry.
Returning to the ferry, Yao Xiang immediately told Yao Gezhong the news that he had found the big boat, and Yao Gezhong was very happy when he heard this, and immediately sent a battalion of men and horses to the reed land, and got all the big boats hidden by the Jin army to the ferry, preparing to cross the river and go north at night.
It took a few hours for a battalion of the Zhao army to finally transport all the big ships hidden in the reeds of the Jin army to the ferry, and at this time, it was already the middle of the night.
Yao Gezhong gathered all his men and horses, took advantage of the cover of night, crossed the river in two groups, returned to the land of Jiangbei, and marched east along the river, preparing to join Shi Hu's main army.
Thunderstorm and Wang Liu's men and horses had been stationed at the Wujiang ferry for a day, and were about to march westward, when they saw that Yao Gezhong's men and horses had crossed the river to the north, they stopped their westward march and continued to stay at the Wujiang ferry, and at the same time reported the news to Hua'an, which was far away in the capital, and asked him for instructions.
After Hua'an learned the news, he ordered Lei Storm and Wang Liu's men and horses to be temporarily stationed at the Wujiang Ferry, and at the same time, sent scouts to cross the river to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, so as to know themselves and the enemy.
Three days later, with the joint efforts of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Wuyi Battalion, the situation inside and outside the capital was completely stabilized, the court officials performed their duties, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the whole city was thriving.
These days, in order to ensure the safety of the palace, Hua'an eats and lives in the palace every day, and never leaves for a moment, although his mansion is not far from the palace, and his parents, wives and children are also waiting for him, but Hua'an did not go to visit them, but during the daily inspection, Hua'an will stand on the high wall of the palace and look in the direction of his mansion, especially at night, the frequency of viewing is the highest.
However, the only thing that makes Hua An happy is that although the palace is a cold place, Chu Garlic, as the queen mother, takes good care of herself, and when it is cold, she will ask the little palace maid to send a fur coat, and she eats every day, and the imperial chef cooks her favorite food.
At first, Hua'an wondered why the imperial chef knew what he liked to eat, but later, during a routine patrol, he found out that Chu Lianzi personally went to the imperial dining room to explain to the imperial chef and asked him to specialize in making the food that Hua'an loved.
As for why Chu Garlic knew Hua'an's taste, it was naturally because when Hua'an set out on the expedition, Chu Garlic, as the princess of Langya, visited Hua'an's mansion, and when he was talking to Wang Ling, he overheard it and remembered it very heartily.
In the cold palace, can be deliberately taken care of by the queen mother, Hua An felt warm in his heart, there was a feeling of home in the haze, but after sobering up, Hua An felt that this was just a warm feeling, this is not home, the reason why Chu Garlic is so good to herself, maybe because of gratitude, after all, Hua An saved her life when she was a child, and saved her again at the critical juncture when Yao Gezhong's army approached the capital.
Considering that the capital had been stabilized, and that he had not seen his parents, wife and children for several months, Hua An decided to return to his palace and handed over the task of patrolling the palace to Wang San.
Hua An took off his armor and put on civilian clothes, rode out of the palace, and ran towards his mansion.
The palace was only a few miles away from his mansion, and soon Hua An rode his horse to the mansion.
After dismounting, Hua An handed over the horse to the next person, and then strode into the courtyard, there was no one in the front yard, it seemed that his father and mother were not at home, so Hua An turned around and walked to the back yard.
"Oops! It hurts! ”
As soon as Hua An walked to a round arch, he collided with a young girl, Hua An's body did not move, and the girl who crashed into Hua An took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
"Girl, it's not hurt!" Seeing that the girl had fallen, Hua An hurriedly stepped forward and helped up the girl who was sitting on the ground.
"Hey, it's my brother back!" The girl looked at Hua An, her tone full of surprise.
Hua An was stunned when he heard this, stared at the girl in front of him carefully, and suddenly slapped his head, isn't this Han Xueyu? It's just that after a few months, she has become more beautiful, the hair ornament on her head has also changed, and she is wearing new clothes, in short, she looks much more beautiful than a few months ago, and at first glance, it is really not easy to recognize.
Hua An's eyes stared directly at Han Xueyu in front of him, and sighed that the eighteen changes of the female college were really getting more and more beautiful.
"Brother, why do you keep staring at people!" Being stared at by Hua An, Han Xueyu's pink little face suddenly showed a hint of redness, and he took a few steps back slightly.
"Xue'er, it's just eighteen this year!" Hua An asked softly.
Han Xueyu nodded and said, "Well, Xue'er is just eighteen this year. ”
"Oh, that's ...... Sister Xue'er is really getting more and more beautiful, my brother saw you just now, and I was still wondering in my heart, when did we come to Washington with such a beautiful girl, I didn't expect it to be our Xue'er, beautiful, really beautiful. Hua An was still staring at Han Xueyu and kept praising him.
Seeing that Hua An was always staring at himself and said so many shy words, Han Xueyu blushed, glanced at Hua An, and feigned anger: "Hmph, Brother Hua An is so annoying, he likes to make fun of others." After speaking, the corners of his mouth smiled, brushed lightly from Hua An's side, and ran to the front yard.
Suddenly, a fragrant wind rushed into Hua An's nose, Hua An turned around slightly, looked at Han Xueyu who was running to the front yard in small steps, and suddenly felt what is dancing and what is natural temperament.
Han Xueyu's posture of running in small steps, light and steady, noble and elegant, seems to be full of unique royal charm every step, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
It wasn't until Han Xueyu completely disappeared from sight that Hua An slowly turned around and continued to walk towards the backyard, and at the same time, sighed in his heart about Han Xueyu's beauty and nobility.
