Cheng Lianjin ordered some more meals with Vice General Liu and Qin Muyao, and after eating, several people went upstairs and returned to their rooms.

Early the next morning, Vice General Liu woke up just after dawn. After putting on his clothes, he immediately went to Qin Muyao and Cheng Lianjin's room to tell them to get up and hurry.

Thinking about the matter of rushing away, Qin Muyao and Cheng Lianjin didn't sleep very soundly, and they quickly got up to pack their things when they heard Vice General Liu's knock on the door.

The three of them continued to move south in the glow of the rising sun.

The further south she went, the more Qin Muyao felt that there was something different from Liangzhou.

An hour later, when Qin Muyao saw this port built by the water, she knew what was different - the air was getting wetter and wetter.

Qin Muyao, who was far away, smelled a smell of "fish", it was only early in the morning, but there were already many fishermen at the gate of the city who were full of harvest and were about to enter the city to sell.

Vice General Liu showed the token to the soldiers standing guard at the door, and the soldiers immediately welcomed the three into the city when they saw Vice General Liu's token, and another soldier ran to find the captain here.

Although Vice General Liu inspected various places in the capital of Liangzhou and was familiar with the management personnel in various places in Liangzhou, he was not particularly familiar with the soldiers in Yunzhou.

But the captain here is still very respectful to General Liu, who is under General Wei, and he received a letter yesterday that General Wei will send someone to send two people on board to the capital.

I didn't expect that the person who came to see off Cheng Lianjin would be such a big official as Vice General Liu, and the captain immediately knew that the identity of the person who was going to leave was not simple.

After a brief greeting, the captain immediately led the three of them to the shore mouth.

Qin Muyao followed a few people to the shore while looking at this city that was completely different from that in Liangzhou.

Although Qin Muyao arrived in Huai'an City when she came, it was also very southern, but it was inland and did not rely on water.

This city in Yunzhou is close to the water's edge, so there are many bridges and water features in the city, and even the girls look very smart.

Cheng Lianjin saw Qin Muyao looking everywhere and knew that she should be the first time to come to this kind of city that relies on water.

Cheng Lianjin tugged on Qin Muyao's sleeve, which was a little fallen, and Qin Muyao hurriedly trotted a few steps forward to follow.

"Have you ever been on a boat before, will you get seasick?" Cheng Lianjin said as he walked with Qin Muyao.

"I've ridden the boat when I was very young, and I haven't done it since, but I don't think I'll get dizzy. Qin Muyao thought about it, only her father ran away in debt, and she and her mother took a boat when they left the place where they lived at that time.

I haven't thought of my mother for a long time, Qin Muyao has been trying to live well since her mother died, so she has always been very tenacious.

Through her clothes, Qin Muyao touched the last piece of jade left by her mother hanging around her neck with her hand.

Cheng Lianjin was relieved when she heard Qin Muyao say that she had been on a boat before: "It's good not to get seasick, otherwise I will take care of you when I get on the boat." ”

Qin Muyao glanced up at him when she heard this, and smiled.

Soon we arrived at the shore where the ships were parked, and there were many ships parked here.

The big ships are parked together, and the small boats are also parked together.

Qin Muyao first saw many small boats like bamboo leaves moored under the nearest bamboo bridge next to the shore entrance.

"Are these boats used for fishing?" Qin Muyao asked.

"No, these boats are used to ferry people. You just look at this small boat so small that it can't carry a lot of things, and it will be a lot of loss to use it to carry fish. Cheng Lianjin replied.

"Yes, then which boat are we going to take?" Qin Muyao looked here for a long time and couldn't find a suitable boat for them to take.

"Probably not over here. Cheng Lianjin saw that the few boats on this side were not very similar to the boats they were going to take.

Sure enough, the captain came here with a few people and said, "The boats we usually use here are all parked here, but the boat you take still needs to go forward to see it." ”

The captain and the three men continued to walk along the shore for a while, and when they walked around a corner, all they saw were big ships.

They are all the kind of big ships with two floors, which can carry people and goods.

The captain pointed out one of them to Cheng Lianjin.

"This ship is the ship of a merchant here, and I happened to go to the capital to deliver some goods recently, and I usually have some personal relations with them, so I told him to let him take two people along the way. ”

"Good work captain. Cheng Lianjin said and stuffed a silver ticket with a large denomination into the captain's hand.

"No, no, no, I can't accept this, it's just a gesture. The captain said as he pushed the silver ticket out.

"Take it! It will take us a lot of time to get to the capital all the way, and Captain Lao will go and take care of us. Cheng Lianjin stuffed the silver ticket into the captain's arms.

"This..."The captain glanced at Vice General Liu.

"The young master gave it to you, you can take it. Vice General Liu saw the captain looking at him and whispered to him.

"That's... Thank you, young master, don't worry, I will make your journey comfortable. The captain thanked Cheng Lianjin with his hand.

When the captain saw the captain of the ship coming out, he walked over to talk to him, Cheng Lianjin saw that he was talking to the captain and pointed to his side, the captain quickly smiled and nodded to the captain, and knew that there should be no big problem with him along the way.

"Brother Liu, when do you have time to go to the capital, I will definitely treat you to a good meal!" Cheng Lianjin has been with Vice General Liu for a long time in Liangzhou this month, and he knows that he is a good person.

"Young Master Lianjin, don't worry, if the last general goes, he will definitely rub you for a meal. The last general can't leave here, otherwise he will send you back to the capital directly. Vice General Liu looked at Cheng Lianjin and Qin Muyao and said.

Thinking that these two people were going to go to the capital alone, he was still a little uneasy.

"Brother Liu, don't think like my Uncle Wei, you are so worried about me when I leave, I am already an adult. Cheng Lianjin patted Vice General Liu's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Take good care of yourself on the road, I see that the young master's face is still a little red, and it seems to be a little burning. Vice General Liu said and looked at Qin Muyao: "Doctor Qin, I still hope that you will take care of Young Master Lianjin on the way." ”

Qin Muyao heard Vice General Liu say that Cheng Lianjin's face was still a little red, so she glanced at Cheng Lianjin's face, and sure enough, it looked a little burning.

Unexpectedly, Vice President Liu suddenly told himself to let him take care of Cheng Lianjin, Qin Muyao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't worry, we will definitely go to the capital well." ”

Vice General Liu nodded, but Cheng Lianjin was a little furious: "I think it's almost as good as me taking care of her." ”

Qin Muyao didn't fight him, but just said lightly: "I'm still so crazy when I'm sick." ”

The captain over there walked over with a guilty face: "Young master, I may have to wronged you, there is only one room left on this ship, and the others are all cargo holds." The dozen or so crew members were all crammed into three small rooms, and there was really no other room. ”

"This..."Vice General Liu looked at Cheng Lianjin.

Cheng Lianjin looked at Qin Muyao, obviously looking at what she meant. After all, he is a big man, and there is no disadvantage in squeezing into a room with Qin Muyao.

Qin Muyao looked at Cheng Lianjin's gaze and frowned for a while, then let go of her brows and sighed: "Let's go, it's good that I can take the boat for free." ”

The captain breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two people were not particularly unhappy: "Don't worry, the two young masters, there are two beds in the room, but the place is a little smaller, and the others are fine." ”

Cheng Lianjin nodded and took Qin Muyao to the boat.

Seeing the two of them, the captain nodded politely, and Qin Muyao also smiled back.

The boat soon departed, and Qin Muyao and Cheng Lianjin stood on the deck of the ship and waved their hands at Vice General Liu, who was still standing in place.

Vice General Liu also smiled and waved his hand to the two of them.

After they couldn't see Vice Admiral Liu's figure clearly, the two of them walked into the cabin.

On the way, he met the captain who was about to walk in the direction of the deck, and Cheng Lianjin asked, "Captain, how long will it take for us to get to the capital?"

The most vocal old man on the ship smiled and said, "Don't call me captain, I'm just a bad old man, you just call me the old king." ”

The captain heard the captain say that the identity of this young man was not simple, as if he was a relative of General Wei, so he didn't dare to hold it up at all.

"It will take about ten days to get from here to the capital, do you want to go directly to the capital?" asked the old king.

"Yes, didn't our merchant ship go directly to the capital?" Cheng Lianjin listened to the old king's meaning, as if they didn't go directly to the capital.

"We finally went to the capital, but not all of this batch of goods were sent to the capital, so we had to get off the ship in Jingzhou and then take the dry road to the capital. Lao Wang Tou explained to Cheng Lianjin.

Qin Muyao couldn't understand the city in this state, so she stopped holding on to the railing next to the boat to look at the scenery.

"Well, when I heard the captain talk about the capital, I thought I would go straight to it. Cheng Lianjin smiled.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, where is the room for the two of us?"

"Go down here, and the innermost room is your room. The old king pointed to the passage in the cabin, and then to the left.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Wang. You go get busy, let's go back to the room to catch up on sleep. Cheng Lianjin knew the location of the room, so he took Qin Muyao to the room.

The boat drove fairly smoothly in the water, so the two of them didn't feel particularly dizzy when they walked around the cabin.

Coming to the innermost room, Cheng Lianjin, who was walking in front, opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the first thing that came into view was the two beds, and then there was no more.

The room is quite simple, except for two beds, only the floor can stand for almost two people.

"This room... It's really pocket-sized. Even the well-informed Cheng Lianjin couldn't help but sigh for the room of this merchant ship.

Qin Muyao didn't say anything, and when she entered the room, she closed the door directly and lay down on the bed on the right side.

When she and her mother first left home, it would be nice to have a place to live, and she also lived in a place that was even worse than here.
