What are you thinking? Mu Tianyue saw that Qian Qianqian was stunned, and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Qian Qianqian came back to her senses, but saw that the lights were bright, and the officers and soldiers of the protection battalion were talking to the people on the merchant ship around them, and several people looked in the direction of Qian Qianqian from time to time. "I think someone is going to invite us soon, Brother Mu, you see, should we be tactful and keep a low profile, or what?"

"Since this matter has been intervened, I'm afraid it's difficult to keep a low profile." Mu Tianyue smiled lightly.

"Yes, that means that we are just ordinary people, and we have friends who know martial arts, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to believe that it will cause some unnecessary misunderstandings at that time, and the gains will outweigh the losses." As soon as Qian Qianqian's words fell, a few people had already been sent over, and as soon as they saw them, they immediately bowed down and made a big salute.

"Righteous man, our battalion commander wants to meet you."

Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue glanced at each other, his eyes motioned for her to make her own choice, she thought for a moment, thinking that it was not a shameful thing, and when the time came, she should not say anything about Xiao Mohan.

So, she said with a smile: "The military master is polite, at that time, we went to visit the battalion commander of the protection battalion and thanked the adults for their tireless efforts to protect the safety of the people." ”

"The righteous are really good at laughing, this is the duty of the protection camp, and we adults can never ask for credit. But you, it is very rare to be able to care for others in this situation. ”

"Okay, okay, your family is a good official for the people and not for profit. My home...... We don't have to praise our villains for this little thing, so don't praise each other here, just go, don't go, don't go. Mu Tianyue's little guy has always been an impatient who can't hold his breath, and at this moment, he really can't stand it because Qian Qianqian and the person who came for a long time and interjected.

Mu Tianyue bumped his elbow and glared at him, but it was not good to put on a young master to teach the other party a lesson.

Seeing this, Qian Qianqian came out and said, "That's right. She turned to the visitor and said, "There are brothers all over the world, and if I am fortunate enough to know a person in the court today, it is worth the trip, leading the way." ”

When Qian Qianqian got on the boat and saw the commander of the so-called protection battalion, the whole person froze in place, although the other party was full of beards, which was very different from the appearance he had seen before, but the heroism in his eyebrows and eyes was difficult to forget.

"Shangguan Ling?"

"Boss Money!"

Qian Qianqian was full of emotion in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of the last time she confronted the other party. Fate sometimes really likes to play tricks on people, who would have thought that after a long time of not seeing each other, they would have this cooperation and jointly subdue the bandits?

The expression on Shangguan Ling's face could be said to be the same as her, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed tacitly.

"Why, it turns out that the two are old acquaintances?" Mu Tianyue interrupted the two.

Qian Qianqian nodded and said, "That's also a story of not knowing each other." Following her, she and Mu Tianyue briefly described what happened between the two, and then entered the cabin under Shangguan Ling's arrangement.

The owner of the merchant ship was a middle-aged man in his early forties, in good spirits, and he was accompanied by an unamiable woman, and the two of them were in friendship, and they could be seen to be husband and wife without introduction.

"Thank you to the righteous and Shangguan for this matter, the banquet has been prepared in the cabin, why don't you enjoy your face?" It was only half an hour before and after the incident, and the meal had already been prepared, and I think it was already thought about when I learned about it.

can be in danger without chaos, and has such a thoughtful arrangement, it really deserves to be a big family with such a large merchant ship.

Qian Qianqian and a few people sat down under the guidance of the master, and as soon as he sat down, he began to introduce himself, knowing that he was Wan Jingtong, the president of the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that our family would be in deep danger at this moment, and I don't know how to get out of trouble, I hope you will appreciate your face and accept the thanks of me and my insiders." As he spoke, he got up with the woman next to him and saluted Qian Qianqian.

After a few people pushed the glasses and changed the glasses, the banquet officially began.

The Mu family and Wanjia actually had dealings, but Mu Tianyue had never met Wan Jingtong, but the two of them could talk about the situation of merchants in various parts of Xiao Guo in a few words, and they soon became New Year's friends.

And Qian Qianqian can't interject about this, after all, no matter how interested she is in business, she has never been to the places that the two of them said, and it is bound to be wrong to say more. So he went to talk to Shangguan Ling, who was relatively more familiar.

"How could Brother Shangguan be the commander of this protective battalion?" I saw him before, he should be more interested in being an official from the civil service and governing the country with political views.

Shangguan Ling drank a glass of wine, and the flush slowly climbed up his cheeks, "I talked to General Xiao about serving the country before, and I have been thinking about this since he left. Thinking about whether to follow the text or the martial arts, he also went to the general's mansion to pay homage to him. General Xiao was also blunt, so he asked me to think about where the problem of Xiao Guo is burning and imminent. ”

He took a bite of food and didn't continue, but looked at Qian Qianqian with an inquiring gaze, "What does Boss Qian think?" ”

Qian Qianqian pondered for a moment and looked around, "Is it inappropriate for you and me to talk about state affairs here?" ”

"Huh?" Shangguan Ling let out a question, and when he looked at Qian Qianqian again, his eyes were more meaningful, "I don't think Boss Qian is such a cautious person, where did the momentum in Shangguan's house go before?" ”

Qian Qianqian sneered, "Brother Shangguan doesn't have to tease me, this time is different from the past, and the environment is even different, so naturally there are different considerations." ”

Shangguan Ling saw that she had a serious face, and also took the look of dissoluteness after collecting the wine, "Boss Qian, relax, except for the rivers and rivers, all of them are brothers from my protective camp, and they are all brothers from birth to death, and they will not be revealed to others." As for this table, I'm afraid that no one will pay attention to Boss Qian. ”

Qian Qianqian thought about it for a while, and said bluntly: "Then I'll talk about the past and the present." ”

"Yes, too." Shangguan Ling picked up the wine glass and sent it to Qian Qianqian, "You might as well have a drink first." ”

"Good!" In the bottom of the wine, Qian Qianqian pondered for a moment and said: "Throughout the ages, if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, or when the country is in ruins, what is needed most is political opinions. But today's Xiao State, surrounded by strong enemies on all sides, is not just founded, cultural governance is naturally important, and martial arts cannot be abolished. If I had to choose one of the more important of the two, it would be martial arts. ”

Qian Qianqian got up and walked out, and the river breeze hit her face, "It is said that stability is outside, and how to be unstable outside, in fact, in my opinion, these two things need to be done at the same time, and they must be adapted to the times." I have been to the frontier before, and I have seen how the Huns treat the people of my Xiao country, and I know that they will not stop because of General Xiao's punishment. In addition to stabilizing the foundation of the country and the court, stability is also stabilizing the people. Therefore, Brother Shangguan has chosen a path that is more difficult than Wenzhi. ”

Qian Qianqian said, her eyes fell down, and she saw the group of water bandits on the deck, "You see, I have some intersections with the wave of people below, I thought it was a different kind of writing, and I had no ability, so I could only choose to be a water bandit." But ......"

"How?" Shangguan Ling stepped forward, "You actually know their background?" ”

"Huh?" Qian Qianqian shook her head, "I don't know, but looking at Brother Shangguan's appearance, I'm afraid that what I think is somewhat correct." ”

Shangguan Ling felt embarrassed by what information he had exposed prematurely, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "It's better to talk about it." ”

Qian Qianqian leaned sideways on the railing, her eyes fell on the group of water bandits, "Although the leader looks vicious, he should have been forced to be a water bandit." First, I annoyed him at the time and told him that he wanted to be a thief and pay attention to his reputation, which was also a gamble, but I didn't want him to really let me go. Second, I have seen Boss Wan's merchant ships, although there are a lot of guards, but it is not necessarily impossible to fight, and if you want to use Boss Wan to contain others, you don't need to go around such a big circle, but he just doesn't go straight, take a detour? Weird. Third, I listened to his previous conversation and was indeed similar to that of a mountain bandit, but when he pretended to be a boatman, he talked to the nursing home, but it didn't sound like it was really different from Wenmo, but deliberately hidden. ”

Qian Qianqian turned the wine glass in her hand, "Your reaction just now makes me feel that his family should also be in politics, and it is more likely that he is a military attaché." It is not known what may have been degraded or something more excessive. And he may even be hidden. "Xiao Mohan's subordinates have also demonstrated the disguise technique, and it is not so difficult to do in ancient times.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shangguan Ling's expression, "Boss Qian's ability to observe words and emotions is really good. ”

"It seems that I guessed correctly, won't Brother Shangguan tell me about it?"

“…… Boss Qian is so astute, he should know that some things are not good for too many people to know, I can only say that I will not do anything that violates loyalty, forgive me. Shangguan Ling's face was embarrassed, Qian Qianqian naturally knew what it meant when she saw this, and changed her words: "The water bandits are hateful, Brother Shangguan must deal with them properly, there are many people in the army, be careful." ”

Shangguan Ling smiled subtly and said, "No wonder General Xiao would say that you are not a thing in the pool. ”

Qian Qianqian's heart tightened, and a slight stinging pain made her uncomfortable, but she still asked calmly: "Did he say such a thing?" ”

"Later, when I reported the results of my thoughts to the general, he inadvertently mentioned you." Shangguan Ling didn't ask what it was, and Qian Qianqian didn't ask, she couldn't listen to too many things about Xiao Mohan now, otherwise under the influence of alcohol, she was afraid that she would leak her mouth.

However, Shangguan Ling didn't know this, "Later, I passed the Wujuren exam, and the first thing I did was to join the general. ”

"And he got you to this camp?"

"General Liberty's consideration, in fact, many of the protective battalions along the river are recommended by the general."

Doesn't this mean that if Xiao Mohan is really in distress on the river, he should ......

Qian Qianqian turned around excitedly, "Are you?" Almost, she asked, "Do you know about Xiao Mohan", but fortunately, Mu Tianyue suddenly appeared and interrupted her.

"Two, there's a big dish, why don't you try it?"
