Chapter 108: Crisis
Yu Moji is actually more interested in the Xuantian Blazing Sun now, and the drawings about the marine Yanji are just game works. However, the transformation of Xuantian Blazing Sun is a big project after all, and no results can be achieved in a short period of time. In addition, Yu Mochen was grateful to Chai Jingliu for his trust, and shirked it several times to no avail, so he had to roll up his sleeves and toss seriously. In the end, they actually came up with a way to make the ship more flexible.
Although Chai Jingliu is used to looking like a lady, he also has a decisive side, and as soon as Yu Moji came up with a feasible plan, Chai Jingliu asked people to prepare the things they needed at a very fast speed. After the preparations were completed, she asked Yu Moji to take the lead, and she herself assisted by the command, helping the ship guards under her command to complete this big project together.
At this time, Yu Moji found out that Chai Jingliu said that she was a layman, and she was humble at all; Not only does she understand the drawings, but she can also use her years of experience on the water to make a fairly reliable analysis and give constructive advice.
Chai Jingliu is extremely efficient in doing things, and the ink marks are not slow. The team they led with great action first started with the small boat where Yuan Yizhi's cabin was located, and after it was successful in one fell swoop, it was extended to the entire fleet. In less than 20 days, except for Chai Jingliu, a large ship that was said to have been built by the Chai family himself, which was not easy to change, all the other ships used the set of improvement plans conceived by Yu Moji.
Yu Moji has been in the Cardinal House for a long time, and he has never had the opportunity to do things in such a big way; After this battle, she loved Chai Jingliu more and more, and she understood more and more why Yuan relied on it to become famous, and she had to stay with Chai Jingliu until she was old.
They are all people who have gone through the wind and waves, but they still retain the most innocent and beautiful ideas about life, and have the courage to put these ideas into action. There are not too many such people, it is rare to meet, it is rare to fall in love, so it is natural to cherish it.
was able to meet such a lovely person, and Yu Mozhen had no regrets in his heart.
It's just that her personality dictates that even though she is already familiar with Chai Jingliu, she is still not very willing to disturb the overly lively big ship. After this was done, she went back to Yuan Yizhi's cabin and continued her great cause of "making cars behind closed doors". Until one day, Chai Jingliu suddenly sent someone to find her.
"Our young lady said that the situation is not right these days, please Miss Yu stay away."
Yu Mojin glanced at the visitor inexplicably and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Her first reaction was not to inquire about what happened to Chai Jingliu at all. According to her previous nature, she would never do much when she encountered such a situation.
Including Chai Jingliu, after all, the people on the Jiangshan boat are all traitors, if they are in trouble, in Yu Moji's mind, most of them will be inseparable from the suppression of the imperial court.
Although she herself has been stripped of her official position and rank, she still has the status of a reservist, and she is still a member of the imperial army. Yu Moji is still looking forward to finding an opportunity to make a comeback in the future, and now if he gets involved in this matter, he will be sandwiched between the imperial court and the country, which is certainly not a wise move.
But since Yuan Yizhi entrusted her to take care of Chai Jingliu, no matter what happened, Yu Moji couldn't allow himself to let it go. Besides, she herself is in the fleet of the Jiangshan ship at the moment, and it is really unlikely that she wants to retreat.
The subordinates sent by Chai Jingliu obviously didn't expect Yu Moji to ask him, and when he was asked such a question, he was immediately a little at a loss. He vomited for a long time, but he didn't vomit a reason.
Yu Moji couldn't wait to cry or laugh, so he had to say, "Since the situation is critical, let's not waste time." Why don't you take me to the big ship, and I'll ask you directly. As she spoke, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she tentatively said, "Is it possible, Miss Chai has already ...... Ran away on your own? ”
"Of course not! Don't say that, girl, our young lady is by no means such a greedy person who is afraid of death. The subordinate hurriedly waved his hand, for fear that Yu Moji's inappropriate words would defile Chai Jingliu. He thought for a while before he said, "Well, I don't know whether to talk about this matter or not, so it's safer to take the girl to the main ship first." ”
The subordinate is a good sampan hand, much stronger than the three-legged cat of Yu Moji. As soon as Yu Moji returned to his senses, they returned to the big ship.
The big ship is still the same big ship, but now it has completely lost the prosperity of a few days ago. Most of Chai Jingliu's subordinates are very orderly, but whether it is the people who are kind on weekdays, or the dancers who usually advance and retreat, everyone is busy transporting things from the big ship to the nearby small boat, and everyone's face has shown some panic that cannot be hidden.
Yu Moji looked around quietly, and didn't see those mysterious black-clothed waiters, and thought to himself, if these people had gone somewhere else and hadn't gotten into the mess on the deck, then maybe things weren't too bad.
The person who brought her said that Miss Yu was looking for Miss, but after asking a few people, everyone only said that Chai Jingliu was still on the boat, but no one knew which cabin she was in. The man was a little embarrassed, but when he went to look for Yu Moji, Chai Jingliu was still in the hall to divide the labor for everyone, and now he doesn't know where the young lady has gone.
Yu Moji thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at the river bank in the distance. She had been on the Jiayuan River for so many days, and now she was able to roughly judge that the speed of the ship was much slower, and it was not like the speed of a steamship. Normally, it was only at night when there were passengers that the speed of the big ship would be so slow. She bowed her head and asked, "Can you take me to the end of the cabin?" ”
The subordinate immediately showed a slight embarrassment on his face, and said, "That's not a place where we people can enter...... I've heard before that the girl has studied the wreckage on our ship. If the girl wants to go, she might as well go by herself. If our lady allows it, the ship's escort will let you in. ”
Yu Moji pulled his hair embarrassedly and said, "To tell you the truth, I haven't actually gotten down the bilge of this ship. ”
She did help improve the fleet's engines, but all she did was come up with ideas, draw structural drawings, and demonstrate on a few small boats. After all, the big ship was loaded with most of Chai Jingliu's belongings, and the Yanji was the top priority on the ship, Yu Moji thought he was an outsider and didn't dare to go into it rashly, so he didn't make much changes, and the actual operation part was all handed over to the ship escort under Chai Jingliu's command.
What's more, Chitose Gold is, after all, the fuel for the Empire's monopoly. The appearance of a machine on the Jiangshan ship means that the Chitose gold has been illegally used. Yuan Yizhi was not here at this time, and Yu Moji didn't know how to deal with this problem, so she could only pretend not to know - anyway, she hadn't been out of the bilge, and she hadn't seen the thousand-year-old gold on the Jiangshan ship with her own eyes.
But now in this situation, it seems that she can only go into the bilge.
Chai Jingliu couldn't be found anywhere on the ship, and the speed of the ship was far beyond usual, so Yu Moji guessed that Chai Jingliu should have gone to the bilge that ordinary people couldn't enter, and personally supervised the operation of the core part of the ship's Yanji.
Yu Moji still didn't know what was going on, but everyone around her was so anxious, if she asked Chai Jingliu to see her at this moment, it would be a mess. For now, she can only go to the bilge to find Chai Jingliu. She and the man were at a standoff for a few moments, and they finally agreed to take her to the entrance to the cabin. As for whether you can get in, it depends on Chai Jingliu's meaning.
Yu Mochen saw that he couldn't say it clearly back and forth, so he no longer explained to his subordinates that he just wanted to save some things for Chai Jingliu, and only urged the other party to take her quickly. They walked briskly down the rung. When he arrived at the door, Yu Moji happened to meet a ship escort who came out to get something, and this was the only way to find a person who could enter the bilge to report it.
She waited outside for a while, and Chai Jingliu really walked out of it.
Chai Jingliu is still that delicate lady, but her breathing is a little short, which is a little different from her usual unhurried appearance. She didn't intend to investigate why Yu Moji didn't avoid it as she said, and immediately said, "It's just so that you're here." I have something I want to discuss with you. ”
Yu Mochen hurriedly said, "Since General Yuan has entrusted me, I will definitely do my best." I just don't know what's going on. ”
Chai Jingliu seemed to have thought it through, and there was almost no pause, and then he explained, "In the past, we and the imperial court were at peace, but in the past two months, we don't know what is going on, and the court has sent people to track and inquire about it again and again. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but this morning a family member came to report that there were military ships coming and going along the way, and it seemed that they had come specifically to deal with the rivers and mountains. Several of our nine families have been raided; There are several ships with unclear contents that have been sealed by the sergeants who came to investigate. She sighed and said, "We may not be immune to this situation." ”
Yu Mochen was shocked when she heard this, and said in her heart that she really didn't guess wrong, this matter was really related to the imperial court. For Jiangshan Chuan, angering the imperial court is probably the most difficult thing to do. However, recently, she has been staying in Chai Jingliu's fleet, and she has not felt the anxiety that Chai Jingliu should have under great pressure. Thinking about it, this young female shipowner may have been accustomed to this kind of day, and in front of the eyes of the imperial court, she can also preside over the singing and dancing party on the ship, and at the same time calmly and calmly depict a noble and ethereal orchid.
Yu Mojian's mind turned, and the calmness of Chai Jingliu in her heart on weekdays may be even more obvious, and the situation at this time is beyond the scope of what she can handle.
Chai Jingliu said, then pulled up the ink marks and entered the bilge together. After a few twists and turns, they ascended a narrow ladder near the dragon's heart, and finally reached the watchtower at the height of the ship.
