Chapter 34: Back to Jinling (24)

"What about the other two boats?" The Crescent sent three ships, each with thirty guards, in front and behind, and in the middle, with all the dowries in front of him.

"What about the other two boats?" The Crescent sent three ships, each with thirty guards, in front and behind, and in the middle, with all the dowries in front of him.

"The guards on the three ships are all from the army, and now they are called by the Liangzhou garrison for questioning." Mama Wang came a little earlier, so she understood more than Xinyue.

"But there are casualties, and those bandits, it is impossible to just grab them and tie them up and throw them on the shore." Crescent Moon stood by the door, looking at the porch, there were marks of being slashed by a knife, and it must have been a fierce battle.

"Mrs. Hui's words" Xinyue heard someone speak, so he turned around and saw the boat boss Li Yan, Xinyue looked at him, stood two meters away from him with his hands, only to hear him continue, "When these three boats sail, they will inevitably collide, and they will be separated by a distance, these bandits should have been eyed from the ship as soon as they left the eastern capital, the guards were insufficient, and the guards who changed shifts were not rested enough, so when the sky was just dawn and people were sleepy, they first used driftwood soaked in black oil to put the front, and the ship with the most guards, More than ten meters away from the two boats behind, and then set fire to driftwood to trap the head boat. The people on the back and middle ship, although they were ready for battle, but because the bandits were lost smoke before boarding the ship, they had no strength, so most of the people passed out, only two soldiers on the middle boat fought to the death with the bandits, and fell into the water after being cut, one drowned, the other was seriously injured, and one arm was broken. ”

After hearing this, Xinyue frowned and asked Li Yan, "It seems that those bandits have made all preparations and don't plan to kill, so they prepared driftwood and drugs." ”

"That's the case, and if civilians kill soldiers, it is a big crime to kill the head and expel the three tribes, most of these bandits have families, and they should only want to seek wealth and not kill people." Li Yan said his guess, so, although Xinyue felt that things were not so simple, but still nodded, and said to Li Wei, "To appease and take care of such a thing, it is inconvenient for me to come forward as a woman, and I am also bothering Lord Li to come, those two soldiers, if there are parents at home, support them more, and the wives at home, lose more money, and they can also be sent to the local school, and they should also be supported more in the future, and the money and connections used will be used from the palace." The seriously injured soldier can let the little prince turn around, retire the armor, recuperate at home, and lose more money. ”

"Yes" Xinyue's explanation is roughly the same as that of King Yu, and Li Yan did so.

After Li Wei stepped down, Xinyue stood on the deck and called Mama Wang to come out "Madame"

"Mama Wang, I think this Li Yan is not a person who will deduct money from it, but because he is sent by the prince, he will be a little arrogant, you ask Wang Si'er to go to the house of these two soldiers in person, bring more money, and take the sign of our Hou Mansion to meet the local gentry officials, for the families of the two soldiers, but also to strictly restrict some irrelevant nepotism." Wang Si'er is the son of Mama Wang, and is now on an errand in Xinyue's maiden house.

"Do you want to take the sign of the Hou Mansion? Shouldn't it be the royal palace? "Mama Wang didn't understand it.

"In this way, there is no need to be afraid that they will just give a sum of money." As she spoke, Xinyue closed the gift list that Mama Wang gave her just now, "Mama, after you check it carefully, let's continue to set off." ”

"Yes" Mama Wang took the gift list and continued what she had just done, Xinyue turned around and got off the boat, and was stopped by Mama Wang again, "Madam"

"Mama, I'm married, do I still need to wear that?" Xinyue pointed to a hat that Mama Wang had conjured out of nowhere, and no matter what Xinyue said, Mama Wang still put the hat on Xinyue's head and covered her face.

Even through the hat, she could see Xinyue's sad face, "Madam, bear with me, let's go back to the boat." ”

"The crescent moon stooped out of the ship and went to her own big ship" The hat stinks. ”

"This is what Mrs. wore when she was in Jinling, when she went to the Lantern Festival." Crescent Moon looked at the magnolia flowers on the brim of the gauze hat and thought that it was indeed the case, "That's with Mao..."

"What?" Feng'er wanted to ask what Xinyue was talking about, but Xinyue diverted the topic, "Let's go." ”

Crescent Moon stepped off the board, and when he was thinking about it, he looked up, and on the edge of the dock, he saw a man in a dark narrow-sleeved regular suit, which he didn't recognize, except for his sharp eyebrows and scimitar at his waist, which made it easy for people to recognize him at a glance.

Xinyue slowly walked on his boat, looked up and saw a flag hanging on the mast of the bow of the ship, at that time the king of Yu's royal flag, no wonder the prince of Liang would stare at his ship, the army of King Yu back then, was hung with such a flag, personally killed the emperor of Liang and climbed the mountain outside Jijing City, looking at his eyes, even if the city is very deep, it is difficult to hide the hatred.

Xinyue looked at this hateful look, and suddenly thought of the person who poisoned his own granddaughter and calculated his son and daughter-in-law, of course, he was more ruthless to outsiders.

"Why is the cold wind still blowing here" Mama Wang held the account book, came up from the boat board on one side, and saw Xinyue looking up at something, Xinyue pointed to the royal flag of Yuwangfu above her head, "Tell Li Yan, come down." ”

"Yes" Mama Wang got the order of the new moon, and after a while, Li Yan came up from below, and shouted eagerly, "Madam, do you want to drop the king's flag?" ”

Crescent Moon frowned, "Is there any problem?" ”

"This royal flag, the sun rises, the sun sets, so, this flag above our heads, even if..." Xinyue saw that the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and quickly stopped him, "Master Li, you come with me." ”

Li Yan followed Xinyue suspiciously, walked to the side of the boat, and Xinyue pointed to the prince of Liangguo, who was still standing in place, "As an old subordinate of King Yu, you know that person." ”

Li Yan's eyes were fixed, and fire immediately appeared in his eyes, "That's, that's the scimitar of the former emperor of Liang"

After speaking, Li Yan pulled out the short knife on his waist and was about to rush out, but it was inconvenient for a female dependent of Xinyue to pull him, but Feng'er understood the meaning of Xinyue, and raised her foot to trip Li Yan to the ground.

Li Yan was unprepared and fell to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose, but he still picked up the knife and wanted to go outside, when Xinyue shouted, "The man is gone." ”

Li Yan looked at the edge of the boat, and sure enough, he saw that the man with a scimitar at his waist had already gotten on a stiltboat, which was light, like a leaf in the water, and rowed away briskly.

Xinyue was judging the direction of the ship, but Li Wei shouted loudly to the boat, "Someone, someone, go and notify immediately..."

"Shut up, Master Li, the enemy hasn't attacked yet, but you have messed up first." Crescent Moon tried to keep her voice low, but it still drew a sideways look from the boatmen on the deck below who were waiting for Li Yan's orders.

"Come, Master Li, you go inside." Crescent took a few steps back, out of sight of the deck.

Li Yan stood one meter away from the new moon, and the new moon frowned, "It seems that Lord Li recognizes this person." ”

"On the handle of his knife, the pattern of silver double fish jumping into the water, except for the first emperor of Liang who has been beheaded by the prince, is the prince of Liang State, Liang Wei." Li Yan said that he was indignant, so he sent a boat to chase after him.
