From Wei all the way to the east, go to the border, take a boat on the Li River, go down the river, and cross the Jiulong Mountain to reach the territory of Qi State.

The mountains are high and the water is long, the clouds reflect the lonely canopy, and on the calm river, there are only ripples in the circle of the bow of the boat. There was a boatman standing in the bow and stern of the boat, and there were only two people in the tent, Zhongsun You Jin and Xiaoyu.

Along the way, Xiaoyu looked a little uneasy, and finally spoke: "Princess, what are your plans after arriving in the Qi Kingdom?" ”

You Jin raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Are you worried?" ”

"It's not that I don't believe in the princess, it's the slave who really has no bottom in her heart." Xiaoyu lowered her head a little weakly.

When You Jin saw her so cute, she smiled and said, "Look, I didn't say that you didn't believe me, but I said it myself." ”

For a while, Xiaoyu's cheeks were slightly red, if it wasn't for the boat, she would have wanted to find a place to hide.

"Xiaoyu, after you arrive in Qi Kingdom, don't call me a princess." You Jin suddenly became serious, thinking carefully about the alternative name, "Hmm... The name has to be changed, too. How is Sun Youjin? ”

"Miss Sun Youjin of the Sun family, the slave maid calls the princess Miss." Xiaoyu touched the end of her hair, as if she had thought of something again, "But princess, ah no, miss, if someone asks where you are Sun?" ”

It was rare to see Xiaoyu ask directly, and finally didn't hide it in his heart, You Jin was a little happy and said: "I once sent someone to the Qi country to investigate, and I heard that the Anling City of the Qi country is full of trade and prosperity, which is comparable to the imperial city. Although there are not many royal relatives and nobles there, there are many high-ranking officials and businessmen. We are from the Sun family in Anling City, and the family has been in the money business for generations. ”

Xiaoyu repeated it a few times in her heart, for fear that she would forget it if she was not careful: "Qianzhuang business, Anling City Sun family." Miss, I remember. ”

You Jin didn't seem to hear Xiaoyu's words, and looked around the green mountains and clear waters alone, the wind was quiet and the forest was not empty, the clouds were rolling and the clouds were soothing, and there were mountains and rivers in the shadows. This great river and mountain of Wei country, how can it tolerate the sound of iron hooves and the cold wind.

"Boatman, are we in Qi or Wei?" You Jin looked at the two rivers of this water, only knowing that this was the boundary, half of it belonged to Wei, half belonged to Qi, and he didn't know which half he was in at this time.

"Girl, we haven't reached the territory of Qi yet. You see! The boatman, standing at the bow of the boat, pointed to a wisp of smoke in the distance.

"There are still people on this shore." Xiaoyu poked her head out and looked carefully.

"This is not a family, it is a shack built by our boatmen, and further on, the river is all together, and inside the shack is our own territory of Weiguo." There was a slight smugness in the boatman's expression.

You Jin was deeply ashamed, and he swore that he would protect the entire Wei Kingdom, but he couldn't even tell the border, and it was better for a few boatmen to care about every inch of land.

"Why did you build this shed? Just to distinguish the boundaries of the land? Xiaoyu didn't understand.

The boatman glanced at Xiaoyu, as if mocking her for not understanding the meaning of country and family: "Those who do our business always have to sail through the river. Whenever we step into the country of Qi, we have to be careful, and when we return to the country of Wei, it is as if we have returned home. In this case, we simply built a few sheds, and after some tiredness, we can also take a rest, drink tea and eat. Look at this smoke, it must be our wives who have come to cook for everyone again. ”

The boatman, who was standing at the stern of the boat, saw that the conversation was so hot in front of him, and couldn't help but add in: "Girls, the border is a big thing. It's normal for you to not understand this feeling now, and after this shed, you will understand it better every day in the future. ”

Hearing this, You Jin's nose was sour, her eyes were pearlescent, as the princess of Wei Kingdom, she kept saying that she wanted to defend the country, but she couldn't even see the rivers and mountains of Wei Kingdom, let alone what a country was, "Yes, if I can go back to Wei, I will definitely step on this land and see all over this country." ”

It's just that since then, I don't know when it will be the return date.

【Qi country, Li River】

The boatman docked and stopped, "Girls, it's here." This Li River is not far from the imperial city, and you can reach the outskirts of the city after passing the Qingtang County. ”

Xiaoyu hurriedly took out a silver ingot from the money bag, stuffed it into the boatman's hand, and thanked: "Thanks to the boatman all the way." ”

The boatman immediately refused, and said seriously: "The silver has already been given, where did you get the reward." In the future, you will have to rely on the money on you, but you have to save some little girl. ”

Along the way, You Jin had a lot of insight and saluted to the boatman, "You can rest assured that if You Jin is lucky enough to return, I hope you will be entertained in the shed." ”

The boatman did not refuse such sincerity, and accepted the reward, although he was reluctant, but he was also very happy: "I will wait for the girl at any time." ”

Bidding farewell to the boatman's house, You Jin and the others planned to go to the stables to buy two good horses, and then find an inn to dress up and change this dusty face without powder.

"How's this ship built?"

As soon as You Jin and the others arrived outside the stable, they heard someone next to them asking.

"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is in order. The ship is quite large, with three floors, upper, middle and lower, and can accommodate 3,000 soldiers at the same time. ”

The man next to him responded, listening to the timbre, it seems that he has passed the age of not being confused, and he is still calling His Royal Highness, isn't it, the prince of Qi is here?

"There is Lao Shaofu to supervise the construction day and night, and I will definitely play the hard work of Shaofu to my father."

Shaofu? You Jin thought to herself: Well, I understand now. This prince is so humble, it must be the second prince of Qi Wen Yiyan, this Shaofu can only be Kong Shaofu. They built ships on the banks of the Li River, and they must have been preparing for the attack on Weiguo, but they didn't expect to let go of even the water battle.

You Jin and Xiaoyu hid by the outer wall, not daring to make a sound, and seeing that the two were no longer talking, they went into the stable to buy horses.

"Shopkeeper, two fine horses." Seeing that the store was slow to respond, Xiaoyu took out the money bag and shook it.

"Yo girl, please come with me." The shopkeeper took You Jin Xiaoyu to the backyard, "These two are the best horses in the store, many people want to buy them but can't afford them." ”

"Can you give it a try?" You Jin asked.

"Girl, please."

You Jin jumped lightly, and in an instant, he was already on the fly, calm and relaxed. As soon as she pulled the rope and neighed, the horse leaped up, as if as long as it was in her hands, even ordinary horses could travel thousands of miles a day and cross thousands of mountains.

This neighing attracted the attention of Wen Yiyan, the second prince nearby, and the person on the horse looked like a flying swallow, and with only one hand, he could gallop and fly around, and he was so free to collect and release. When I looked closely, it was actually a woman, and she actually had such a horse technique, "Wonderful." Wen Yiyan couldn't help but sigh.

Kong Shaofu on the side also looked at Wen Yiyan's gaze, "This woman is really not ordinary." ”

You Jin was quite satisfied with this horse, and dismounted and said, "That's it." Xiaoyu, go lead another horse. After speaking, when he turned around, he saw an extraordinary person looking at him, his eyebrows stretched, his skin and white eyes, and his red lips and nose were even more beautiful than a woman. Although he was dressed in brocade and satin, he was all white. This white-clothed gentleman is like a floating cloud in the sky, as if he is one with this beautiful scenery.

If it weren't for the man who closed his eyebrows, You Jin almost fell into a trance. After a closer look, I suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of his expression. Mo not... Only then did he frown, and then he was in his heart?

Just when You Jin wanted to get into trouble, Xiaoyu came back from the checkout, and when she saw Xiaoyu's face without powder, she realized that she hadn't made up, and instantly You Jin panicked and led Xiaoyu into the shed.

Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Miss, why don't we lead the horse away?" ”

"Xiaoyu, do I look like a man now?" You Jin asked a little nervously.

Xiaoyu was a little stunned, the princess, who was unstoppable, proud, and far-sighted on weekdays, actually asked such words, "Miss, what happened?" How is it unusual? ”

You Jin realized his gaffe, and remembered that he obviously tried the horse to attract the attention of the second prince, but he didn't expect that this person was as warm as silk rain and as bright as Qixia, and he was confused for a while.

Outside the stable, Wen Yiyan was already waiting at the door with his subordinates.

"Your Highness, it's just a stable, why are you here?"

"For a woman."

"Who is it?"

"This woman is not in charge, neither flowers nor fog, even if she has the face of captivating the country and the city, she is even more muddy than Taizhen."

"Your Highness, haven't you always been close to women?"

"She's different."

These subordinates beside him still remember that when King Ming got married, the princess of the East was shocked by her face, but Wen Yiyan was unmoved. He never set foot in the land of fireworks, and he never asked about women. Beizhu once sent a princess to marry, and Emperor Qi originally intended to accept it, but the first time Wen Yiyan disobeyed his father was because he refused to marry, which was also the only time he violated his father's wishes. How could such a "ruthless" person suddenly wait for a woman here, everyone was so surprised and dumbfounded, as if the sun in the east hit the west and rose.
