Chai Jingliu stood aside, looked at Yu Mochen and talked for a while, and when he saw that she finally stopped, he smiled and said, "You can see clearly." ”

Chai Mu sighed, "In the end, if the empire wants to call us as pawns, we have to obey." As he spoke, he bent down, picked up the spare mace that had been resting beside him, and began to work.

Yu Moji didn't plan to stop there. She continued, "Those words just now were said from the standpoint of the Great Qi Empire, but not from my standpoint. ”

"Oh?" Chai Jingliu still had such an indifferent smile, "What is your position?" ”

"I said that the court was not doing this fairly." Yu Mojian's words in his heart have been accumulated for a long time, and when he said them, he was extremely categorical, "The empire wants to be forever, but I don't know how many talents it has killed. These talents are obviously able to live a good life, can achieve many achievements, and may even make great contributions to the empire. And all these possibilities were stifled before they were born because of the grudges of their parents. ”

She glanced at Chai Jingliu, then at Chai Jingliu, and continued, "These days, I have seen a lot of impressive things on the Jiangshan boat, such as your mountain mirror, chasing mirror, your ship's special structure, special machine and weapons against the enemy, all of which are quite practical works. I originally thought that there must be General Yuan's involvement. But the more I looked at it, the more I felt that even if General Yuan was talented, he would never be able to come up with so many wonderful ideas and so many ways to survive in a desperate situation with his own strength. ”

Chai Mu praised her with pleasure, her cheeks turned red, and she smiled, "I'll just say it, everything on our ship is the best." If it weren't for the fact that Mademoiselle always insisted that it should never be carried out on land, I would have wanted to show off to those who have a proper nationality on land. ”

Chai Jingliu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Say stupid things again." ”

Yu Mochen smiled, "I think people on land will be amazed when they see these things." She said, her face sank slightly, and said, "But the result of the accumulation of these wisdoms, because of an endless punishment of the imperial court, can never flow beyond the Jiayuan River, and your wisdom will always be blocked by the river." What is the fairness of the empire that has inflicted all its losses on you, just to fill the lack of self-confidence and narrowness of the imperial court? If the Great Qi Empire really had the bearing of a great power, it should have the courage to appoint civilians, women, and criminal ministers, instead of only caring about the vastness of the territory and the power of the nobles. ”

Chai Jingliu made another "shhhh But after all, you are in the army, so don't mention these dangerous words again, it will not be good to delay your future. ”

Yu Moji sighed deeply, shook his head, and said, "What future do I have?" I'm just an outcast in the changing imperial capital, except for the identity of a cardinal reserve, what else is like an imperial soldier? Even if I want to do some Yanjia research, I have to work hard for General Yuan to transfer me to the Jiayuan River. As she spoke, she didn't stop - she put away Yuan Pingzhi's drawings again, and led the firewood to jump down the big pit that had been dismantled earlier.

Chai Jingliu stood at the edge of the pit and said, "Ink marks, don't worry. What you say today, I will never let outsiders hear. But I'll be sure to remember what you said. She paused for a moment, then added, "As I said, you have ideas and courage. He didn't misread you, and I didn't believe you. ”

With a "bang", Yu Moji firmly nailed the wooden board in his hand, straightened his waist, and shouted at Chai Jingliu, "Don't dare to say anything else." But if I really have the opportunity to return to the Imperial Capital and the Cardinal Council to study Yanjia, if I can really become a Yanshi and be able to do things and speak freely, I will definitely tell everyone who has embarked on the path of Yanjia to know what amazing works you have made! ”

Chai Jingliu looked at her for a while, smiled, and said, "I believe you." ”

Yu Moji lowered his head a little shyly. She made bold remarks, but I don't know how much Chai Jingliu listened to it, Chai Jingliu said that she believed her, and it was probably just encouragement; If she really wants to achieve it, it depends on her own ability.

Thinking of this, she suppressed her churning thoughts and went back to what she was doing.

She only has this one ship to take care of, but Chai Jingliu still has a whole fleet of people to be appeased. Therefore, after Chai Jingliu watched Yu Moji and Chai Mu resume their work, he didn't stop for a moment, and then temporarily took his leave and returned to the big ship.

It was only at this time that Yu Moji patted his head and realized that he had forgotten a very important matter.

She only said about changing the design, but she didn't report the plan she had been thinking about for a long time - she wanted Chai Jingliu to lead the entire fleet to stay in the bilge of the empty shell, would Chai Jingliu agree?

Yu Mojian was a little entangled in his heart. However, perhaps because of the high morale, the time it took to assemble this "empty shell" was much shorter than she had imagined.

As soon as this huge project was over, Yu Moji asked Chai to guard the "empty shell", rowed a small sampan by himself, and returned to the big boat to find Chai Jingliu. Yu Mochen felt that Chai Jingliu might not agree directly, so she used the acceptance results as an excuse to ask Chai Jingliu to bring two ship guards to inspect the empty shell.

She originally planned to explain her plan to Chai Jingliu on the way back to the "empty shell". Unexpectedly, before they set off, the lookout post sent back a signal, saying that the imperial warship that had just returned had moved again, and it seemed that it was still coming in the direction of Chai Jingliu's ship.

Yu Moji frowned when he heard this. When she was still in the army before, she didn't seem to have encountered such a chaotic situation, so she didn't understand what was going on with the Imperial Army at all, and a ship sailed back and out. The river is vast, and the Imperial Army is not as familiar with the reefs and islands in the river as the people of the Jiangshan Boats, and any movement is easy to detect, so it is impossible to fight guerrillas back and forth like this. Even if there is an abundant supply of thousand-tose gold in the army, it should not be tossed back and forth like this.

Chai Jingliu was very calm, she listened to the letter, turned her head and said to Yu Mojian, "Fortunately, your empty shell was completed in time, and the people on our boat have a place to go." If someone from the Imperial Army comes to inquire, we have a way to deal with it. ”

She was a very determined person. The boat on Yu Moji's side was just ready, and Chai Jingliu had already ordered him to go down, telling the boat guards to drive the big ship to the edge of the empty shell without using a machine, relying entirely on the oars. Yu Moji couldn't help much, so he took the initiative to run to the watchtower to watch the wind, for fear that the Imperial army's ships would find out about their intentions.

If that really happened, Yu Moji didn't know what to do. Chai Jingliu obviously didn't want to anger the Imperial Army, would she take all the blame on herself? If something went wrong with Chai Jing, Yu Moji really didn't know how to explain to Yuan Zhi.

Fortunately, the ship that was eyeing the tiger was tripped by the unknown Jiangshan ship at this moment, and Chai Jingliu's ship finally arrived near the reef without danger. The two big ships couldn't get too close to each other, so they had to lean on both sides of the reef one end at the other.

When she arrived, the men of her fleet worked together to carry the contents of the main ship to the empty shell. Yu Moji followed to the side to help, only to find that Chai Jingliu had really prepared, and the furniture, decorations, and even the magnificent cornices and attics on this splendid ship had already been made into a style that was easy to move, and it didn't take much effort to transfer it to the new ship.

When things were almost done, Chai Jingliu summoned another person dressed in black—it should be the shadow guards, and said, "Quickly pass my order, and send half of the ship guards and half of the shadow guards to the newly built ship of Ink Marks." After confirming that it is safe and available, the rest of the people will board the ship in turn. ”

The shadow guard was quite skilled, and disappeared in an instant. Yu Mochen was very amazed in his heart, and when he turned his head and saw Chai Jingliu's eyes, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Sister Jingliu, you said that everyone should be on the boat, you should be included, right?" ”

As soon as Yu Mochen spoke, he felt that his tone was not quite right, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just confirming...... I'm pretty sure of what I've made, and even though it's a makeshift design, it's absolutely fine for our entire fleet to sit in it. ”

Chai Jingliu said, "I naturally trust you, and I sent the ship escort and the shadow guard to accept it first, also to serve the public." ”

Yu Mojin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Of course." ”

"As for myself," Chai Jingliu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I'm staying on this main ship." ”

Yu Moji groaned slightly, and then said, "The ship we newly built, plus the small boat that we saved before, and the ships that General Yuan didn't count before, can all be used to carry the things on the main ship, I don't think it's a problem." ”

"Not that problem." Chai Jingliu still shook his head, "Of course, the goods and assets in the ship can be transferred, but this ship itself is also the result of the painstaking operation of our Chai family's ancestors for generations, no matter what happens, I have the responsibility to accompany it until the last moment." ”

Yu Moji sighed secretly, and his heart was really this sentence again.

In her opinion, Chai Jingliu's emphasis on the family industry is as heavy as the saying "grandparents". Since the time when the nine surnames of Jiangshan fell to the Jiayuan River, counting Chai Jingliu, there are at most four generations; In the face of many changes in the world, it has never been a rare thing for four generations to have painstakingly accumulated the family business to disappear in one day.

No matter how rare the ship itself is, compared to life, it is definitely not as important as Chai Jingliu thinks; She guarded the big ship with this kind of funeral feeling, which seemed to Yu Moji to be a completely nonsense act.
