Chapter 247: The Yellow Turban Army
The night was already dark, layers of fog were growing on the river, the porters who had been busy all day had already rested, and only Gu Wanniang was left on the deck of the boat, Gu Wanniang was leaning on the railing, still blowing on her face by the night wind.
When the moon is high, there is no moonlight, only a vast expanse.
"Girl." Someone called Gu Wanniang, and it was Fan Jingyang who walked out in clothes at night. He just heard someone knocking on the door, so he walked out with the sound, but he didn't see anyone knocking on the door, only Gu Wanniang standing alone in the bow of the boat.
Gu Wanniang didn't reply to Fan Jingyang, but nodded to Fan Jingyang, signaling that she heard.
Seeing this, Fan Jingyang said: "It's windy this night, and the girl is careful of catching a cold." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, I'll go back later."
Fan Jingyang saw that Gu Wanniang and Yi An were wrapped in faces during the day, and Gu Wanniang was not wrapped in faces at night, Fan Jingyang really saw Gu Wanniang's face, and knew that it was a young girl, but there was a thick sadness between her eyebrows and eyes, and it was rare for a girl of this age to see such a sad face.
"That's fine."
"Girl, can't sleep at night? How is it so distressing? Seeing Gu Wanniang's appearance, Fan Jingyang did his best to be a landlord and said a few more words to Gu Wanniang.
"I just dreamed, I dreamed of something from the past, my brother used to hurt me, it was I who didn't fight for it, so he was wronged in vain." Gu Wanniang said about the things of her previous life.
Speaking of which, Fan Jingyang also remembered Fan Shaoshao a little, even if she had a bad relationship, she was still her sister in the end, so she died in vain, but she couldn't find the murderer, and King Qin didn't allow his subordinates to check more.
Fan Jingyang accompanied Gu Wanniang to stand on the deck of the ship, each worried about his own heart.
In the night ahead, there seemed to be a spark of starfire, and at first I thought it was the stars after the fog had cleared, but when I got closer, I realized that it was a sparkle that was dancing.
Probably a flotilla on the march?
Fan Jingyang often walks in the river, but in the name of an imperial businessman, he has never seen a real river bandit, and this posture really scared Fan Jingyang, "Lower the sail and extinguish the torch." ”
Fan Jingyang shouted at the people in the cabin, apparently there were also people in the cabin who noticed that the Jiang bandits were approaching, first extinguished the torches, then lowered the sails, and finally hung the Fan family's family crest.
Fan Jingyang then told Gu Wanniang: "Girl, I'm afraid there was an accident while driving, and please ask the girl to hide in the cabin, no matter what movement you hear outside, don't come out." ”
Gu Wanniang raised her eyebrows, unmoved.
Seeing that Gu Wanniang didn't have the idea of entering the cabin, Fan Jingyang no longer insisted on it, but just called the housekeeper and the boatman.
This was originally a cargo ship, and there were a few individual passengers, except for a few men and footmen in the caravan, there was no other strength to compete with the Jiang bandits. Not to mention that because of the reputation of the Fan family, although there are occasional river bandits on the river, there is absolutely no one who dares to cause trouble on the Fan family's merchant ships.
No more than the frightened shopkeeper Wang, Fan Jingyang organized the people on the boat to be calm and calm, and not to mess around.
The Fan family's family crest was not easy to use, and soon Fan Jingyang's ship was surrounded, and the people surrounding the ship were not ordinary river bandits, but troops with yellow cloth scarves wrapped around their wrists.
Fan Jingyang's face sank, he knew that this Yellow Turban Army was a seaside army with a recent uprising, and he was loyal to Xie Yuan, who recognized himself as a royal descendant, but he was obviously a lineage of King Qin. Knowing that these people were coming for him, Fan Jingyang stopped the moving ship and waited for the leader of the enemy to come and negotiate.
Gu Wanniang, who was standing still on the bow of the boat, seemed to be hidden in the night, without any sense of existence. Her gaze was far away, and she did have a dream tonight, dreaming of something a long, long time ago.
Under Gu Wanniang's gaze, several leaders of the Yellow Turban Army boarded the big boat, most of these Yellow Turban Army have passed the age of confusion, and many of them have half a hundred beards, and they are all old soldiers.
Fan Jingyang was calm, but there was no cargo on his ship that the Yellow Turban Army was worried about, and he couldn't figure out how to find him.
"I wonder why a few of you found my boxes? There are only a few boxes of tea and blue and white porcelain on the ship, and if a few of you want it, you can give it to you, as long as you can spare the lives of our people. Fan Jingyang thought that these people had seen the family crest of the Fan family and intercepted the ship for military pay.
"These goods are not as important as the identity of the son."
As Gu Wanniang spoke, everyone turned their eyes to the woman in the corner. Several Yellow Turban soldiers didn't see Gu Wanniang standing in the corner, first, the night was vast, and second, Gu Wanniang was indeed plainly dressed, not tall, and obviously not very inconspicuous standing at night.
The Yellow Turban Army looked at Gu Wanniang, knowing that this was the girl who was in charge of Dai Yi'an as the master said, and when she saw that it was such a young girl but calm and relaxed, she felt a little more respect in her heart.
Fan Jingyang was surprised by Gu Wanniang's identity at first, but quickly accepted this matter again, knowing that Gu Wanniang had been waiting for him at the bow of the boat.
"I wonder what the girl wants me to do?"
"Everyone in the world knows that the Fan Mansion has a caravan entering Chang'an City every day, and now Fan Gongzi is in charge of all the businesses of the Fan family, and his identity as a prince is incomparable."
At first, Yi An arranged for the Yellow Turban Army to intercept the ships under the Fan family's business at night, so that they could transport personnel to Chang'an every day, but they didn't want to meet Fan Jingyang on the ship, which was even more convenient.
Fan Jingyang didn't have the intention of standing in line in the middle of the court, but he couldn't support Xie Yuan, he had a straight face, "Although Chang'an City is closed, there are many ways to enter Chang'an City, why should the girl embarrass the Fan family, the Fan family is just a business." ”
"Business? It was Fan Gongzi who humbled himself. This business is all over the world, circulating thousands of goods, how the Fan family is a family business, who doesn't know in this world? ”
Gu Wanniang walked up to Fan Jingyang, Fan Jingyang brought the token, but the token was not carried on his body now, but in the cabin, if nothing else, the token would have been stolen when Fan Jingyang left the cabin.
"I knew for a long time that Childe wouldn't agree."
Fan Jingyang only heard Gu Wanniang's voice in the end, his neck was numb, and the person behind him made him faint with a slap. If you don't agree, you have other ways to get Fan Jingyang to agree, such as directly kidnapping Fan Jingyang and taking Fan Jingyang's token.
At first, several leaders of the Yellow Turban Army also thought that Gu Wanniang was negotiating, but they didn't expect Gu Wanniang to be so direct, and they started directly.
Gu Wanniang: "Gongzi Yi's health is not very good, I will arrange things for Gongzi in the past few days, if there are other things that the old gentlemen want to order, just tell me." ”
The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army all respect the order, and there is no one who is not convinced by Gu Wanniang, after all, Gu Wanniang's momentum is here, "It must be to listen to the girl and Yi Gongzi." ”
"That's fine."
