Chapter 124: The Waterway

Finally survived ten days, Ruoshu was relieved, and hurriedly took the letter from the shopkeepers, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his eyebrows locked, Lan Zhi saw it, grabbed it, and said: "Since you are so tired, you should look at it again in a while, so as not to hurt your body and lose more than you gain." ”

Ruoshu begged for a long time, and after she drank a bowl of tonic soup, Lan Zhi agreed to return her a letter, and stood aside and refused to leave.

Ruoshu had no choice but to choose Du Jiuqi's letter, his heart moved, and said: "This Du Jiuqi doesn't know why, he refuses to marry a wife?" ”

Lan Zhi continued: "Who knows, who wants him not to even want a good girl like Lan Xuan, he deserves to be single." ”

Ruo Shu heard it and felt that her words were wrong, but she still didn't give up, and said, "Lan Xuan is fine now, why don't you talk to him?" ”

Lan Zhi hurriedly answered: "I don't like him, Dongjia, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, okay?" ”

Ruoshu asked, "Then what kind of person are you looking for?" ”

Lan Zhi said: "In short, I don't like to be reckless. ”

Ruoshu listened and asked, "Do you want to read the book?" ”

Lan Zhi refused to mention it again, and replied: "I'll find it myself, don't worry about it." And when he had finished speaking, he went out.

Ruoshu was so nervous when she left that she didn't even pack her baggage, and hurriedly read them one by one.

Du Jiuqi's letter said: The waterway is not impossible, but there are water bandits from time to time, and it is impossible to prevent it, and now because of the instability of the times, there are more and more people who make a living from it.

Second Master Lu, now Great-grandfather's letter, said: In the past, when Mrs. Lu was there, she was also transported by water, not to mention the long time, it was not peaceful, and she was robbed twice, so Mrs. Lu decided not to take the waterway anymore, but only the official road.

Lu Sanye said in the letter: The waterway is not impossible, as long as the best ship is your own, you must also travel in a group, not alone, with a full guard. Water thieves are mostly reckless, and it is recommended that the owner consider the general's dart line, after all, he was born in the army, and he came down from the battlefield, so it is more than enough to deal with water thieves.

Lu Siye said in the letter: Now this situation can be regarded as a way to take the waterway, otherwise the shops like the cloth store he manages are often out of stock, and it is really difficult to do business. The reason for the abandonment of the waterways while Mrs. Lu was there was also mentioned.

The other shopkeepers said the same thing, Ruoshu put down the letter, lay back, and looked at the top of the tent in a daze.

Lan Zhi thought that when she ran back, she saw that Ruoshu had already read the letter from the shopkeepers, so she said: "Don't be too tired, otherwise tomorrow's letter will not let you read it again." ”

Ruo Shu thought about it and flew away a long time ago, and he didn't even notice her coming in, so he naturally ignored her.

Lan Zhi looked at the letters piled up like a hill, knowing that everything was important, so it was not easy to persuade her, thinking that the soothing soup at night would be good and convenient.

If Shu calculated, if he wanted to take the waterway, he would have a fleet of ships and guards. There is no shortage of these two things in Qingzhou, but if you have to fight with the water thieves every time, there is really no need.

After thinking about it, Du Jiuqi said that it was indeed feasible to test the waters, so she begged Lan Zhi to prepare pen and ink for her, and sent a secret letter to Du Jiuqi on the bed.

Du Jiuqi got Ruoshu's letter, and saw that the letter actually wrote: Bring some ordinary materials to test the waters, try to find out the situation, prepare some meeting gifts, and handle it at your discretion. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, if the money to buy the road is not much, it is feasible.

The matter is serious, Du Jiuqi decided to go for a trip in person.

It took two months for Ruoshu to get his first reply.

The letter wrote in detail that where the water thieves are perennial and make a living from it, they only seek wealth and do not hurt others. Where the water thieves are evil, they cannot be destroyed and the people are angry. Where the water thieves are just seeking some way to survive because of years of war. Almost all the waterways that the shops in Qingzhou may pass through. In the end, he said that because of time, when he replied to the letter, he had not interacted with any water thieves, and he had met a few times, and the opponent broke up after a short time. He also said that today's government is no different from water thieves, the same roadblock.

Ruo Shu saw it, he was really bored in his heart, no matter how powerful the secret guard was, there were few people in the end, it seemed that Qin Daochuan's dart line would still be used.

It's just that now, Qin Daochuan is in the middle of the war, and I'm afraid that he lacks the skills to search his body, and it's hard to say whether his dart shop will accept these deals. After all, the waterway is not easy to walk, and everyone knows it.

Ruoshu once again complained in his heart about the procrastination of the Seventh Prince.

At this time, the Seventh Prince was sitting in the Jiafang Hall with He Jiming, and said: "Originally, I wanted to force them, they would jump over the wall in a hurry and attack their father, and as long as they caught their handles, they could get twice the result with half the effort." ”

He Jiming said: "I still insist on my opinion, sooner or later." ”

The Seventh Prince said, "I don't know how long it will take for King Jing to enter Beijing?" ”

He Jiming said: "It will take half a year at the latest." ”

The Seventh Prince said: "I didn't expect this Fan Rukui to be so loyal. ”

He Jiming said: "For him, King Jing is the emperor's biggest enemy, so he will naturally intercept it desperately. ”

The Seventh Prince said again: "The left minister insists on pulling the right minister off the horse, what do you think?" ”

He Jiming said: "It's not strange that he is selfish, but even if the right minister is not there at this time, the Nine Emperor Princes are still there, and He Guifei is also there." ”

The Seventh Prince said: "The strategy of internal and external attacks is the best chance of winning, but it is really boring to wait here every day. ”

He Jiming said: "Your Highness, since there is nothing to do, it is better to think about the chess pieces in our hands, and what else can be manipulated." ”

The Seventh Prince said: "When I see her tomorrow, let's decide!" ”

He Jiming drank a glass of wine, and after a long aftertaste, he couldn't help but say: "It's still stable in this hall, in such a troubled world, the taste of wine is not the same." ”

When the Seventh Prince heard this, his reaction was a little big, which made He Jiming a little surprised, but the Seventh Prince said with a smile: "Yes, I think this dish is the same, and it is not the same as before." ”

But I thought in my heart that I was almost deceived by her, stealing beams and changing pillars, such a small scheme, I actually deceived myself.

As soon as his mind moved, he called Qingyun in and asked him to send a message to Du Ruoyuan, saying that he had something to find him.

Half a month later, Ruo Shu was looking at Lu Sanye's letter in the right courtyard, saying that he had already bought two boats, and he was going to load only one boat's goods in the near future, and the other boat would take a dart to go to the water.

Ruoshu read the letter, and his mood suddenly improved. At this time, Xia Ju came in to deliver a message, and Du Jiuqi was already in the stable courtyard, waiting to see her.

Ruoshu, who is now all focused on the waterway, changed his clothes and walked out of the right courtyard, not even sitting on a soft chair.

Du Jiuqi stood in the courtyard, still dressed in a strong suit, looking at the direction of the gate of the right courtyard in a daze.

Not long after, the figure in front of the door of the right courtyard flashed, Ruoshu walked out, because it was summer, the clothes were thin, there was a wall wind blowing in the alley, Ruoshu wearing a silk thin shirt came fluttering, countless layers of clothes flew, deep and shallow blue, like a fairy.

Until Ruoshu approached, Du Jiuqi still didn't come back to his senses, and looked at her stupidly.

Lan Zhi, who had been following behind, saw it and coughed.

Du Jiuqi came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed his head to salute, and only raised his head after receiving his thoughts.

Ruoshu had never cared about this, and when he saw him, he asked directly, "How is it?" Is there any new development? ”

Du Jiuqi replied: "I met with the two kings of the mountain, and agreed that we can pass by paying some money every year, but the number of ships is stipulated. Others have not progressed yet. ”

Ruoshu said with a smile: "It's good to have progress, and if the others can be discussed, they will be discussed, and if they can't be negotiated, they have to come hard." ”

Seeing Du Jiuqi looking at himself in surprise, Ruoshu explained: "There are a lot of official roads that have been closed, and there is a serious shortage of goods in the shop, and some things can't afford to wait, so I have to take risks." Lu Sanye has already discussed with the people of Ping'an Dart, and they are willing to wade into this troubled water. ”

Du Jiuqi's eyes darkened, and he was safe and sound, Qin Daochuan's people.

Ruo Shu continued: "The men and horses of the dark guard are not enough to cope with this trip to the waterway, and they can only be done by the dart line, Lu Sanye is right, they have fought, these grass cowards should be no problem." ”

Du Jiuqi said: "The skills of the dark guards are not below them. ”

Ruoshu seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and said with a smile: "I didn't say that they are stronger than the dark guards, it's just that they are more suitable." ”

Du Jiuqi still wanted to explain, but Ruoshu had already said: "For the time being, the trading of the silver building can only be taken by land, and I won't hide it from you, now most of Qingzhou's expenses are supported by the silver building, and there is no room for error." Since the official road is sealed, shoulder-to-shoulder, over the mountains and mountains, the trade cannot be broken. ”

Du Jiuqi came to his senses and replied: "Yes, the owner, Jiuqi will do it." ”

Ruoshu saw that his face looked better, and said, "It's been hard this time, and after walking for so long, he didn't blame you for this, right?" ”

Du Jiuqi replied: "I sent a letter asking me to come back, and I was about to report to the owner." ”

Ruoshu said: "I hope he will succeed as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause people to be upset." In that case, go ahead and get busy. ”

Du Jiuqi felt that today's owner was different from the past, and he was extraordinarily energetic, so he was reluctant to leave, so he found some topics and talked about them again.

Ruoshu was much more sober than him, urging him to go to the Seventh Prince's appointment quickly, Du Jiuqi was so helpless that he had to retreat and leave.
