Shangjing Chapter 15 Waterway Volume: The Cold War in Huizhou
The next day, Li Mingyuan decided to move on, he wrote a letter, and left 30 men, instructing Wang Li and Liu Wei to watch over the Taizhou prefect, and wait for a few days after Li Hei and Li Yao arrived, take over the Taizhou city, and then transfer it to them. When the business was done, they rode over.
Along the way, Lin Qingran sat alone in the carriage, and she didn't see her come out, and she tried to avoid Li Mingyuan when she was resting and eating, because she wanted to have too much contact with him except for some necessary things.
"Little Hou Ye, is it an illusion? I always feel that Miss Lin has been avoiding you. Chen Chong found out about the situation.
She ...... I guess it's because I'm so good, and I'm shy. Li Mingyuan said casually.
Indeed, according to normal speaking, seeing that Li Mingyuan can handle the affairs of Taizhou City well, he should be more admired, but Lin Qingran's idea is indeed different from ordinary people.
"Is that so? Will the little marquis also ......" Chen Chong really didn't expect the little marquis to say this, and asked worriedly.
"I only have one thing in my mind now, how can I have other thoughts on my mind! And she is the daughter of a degraded court official, how can I look at it! Li Mingyuan's heart was empty.
"That's right, it's the subordinates who are too worried!" Chen Chong felt that this should be the case.
When the team was stationed at night, Li Mingyuan called Chen Chong.
"Chen Chong, you call Lin Qingran over!"
"Yes." Isn't this usually the little marquis himself calling her, Chen Chong thought to himself.
Lin Qingran didn't want to be polite to him when he came over to see Li Mingyuan, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”
"Of course I'm looking for you to discuss the next matter! Otherwise, it's because of something. Li Mingyuan was a little angry when he saw that she had such a bad attitude towards herself.
Lin Qingran thought to himself, although it was one thing to ignore him, but the next journey was even more troublesome.
Huizhou, located in the south, is the last state and county that must be passed before entering Beijing, if the problem of Taizhou can be directly solved by force, then Huizhou must fight wits and courage.
Forget it, it's not worth fighting with him anymore, "There is still a long way to go to Huizhou in Taizhou, you are not forcing ......." She wanted to say that she didn't force the prefect of Taizhou to write a book, but she was afraid of making him unhappy when she said it, so she didn't say anything more.
"Forcing what?" Li Mingyuan thought to himself that I didn't force her, did I force her? Did she think I was pushing her with all the things I said to her?
"Nothing! Since you have paid the bandits, then you will do it all the way to the end, and then in the name of the emperor, donate some money and materials to the people along the road, and Taizhou should be fine. Lin Qingran just wanted to finish speaking quickly and leave early.
"Also, it will take a few days for this Taizhou to reach Huizhou, so there should be no danger for the time being." Li Mingyuan wanted to explain after speaking, he was not forcing her that day.
"Then let's ...... first." Before he could finish speaking, he heard Lin Qingran say, "It's over, then I'll leave first!" Then he simply turned around and left.
"Little Hou Ye, why is this Lin girl so bad." Chen Chong thought to himself, this doesn't look like he likes it.
"She wasn't like this all the time." Li Mingyuan wanted to fool the past.
In another day, they will enter the territory of Huizhou, and Wang Li and Liu Wei have done a good job in the handover of Taizhou City and have caught up with the team.
"What's going on these days?" Liu Wei saw the relationship between the little marquis and Lin Qingran in the past two days, and the second monk couldn't figure it out, wasn't it reconciled? How is this a cold war again?
"How do I know, out of Taizhou City is like this." Chen Chong said helplessly.
"Alas......! A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, let me tell you Chen Chong, this woman, you must not be offended, otherwise you don't know how to die~ Didn't I casually say last time that Miss Li is very beautiful, Qin Yu didn't talk to me for three days! Liu Wei said with a deep sigh.
"That's because people don't want to pay attention to you at all!" Chen Chong knew that Liu Wei liked Qin Yu.
"No, it must be Qin Yu who is jealous, so it will be like that." He argued.
"Alright, alright, just like you. Let's go over, the little marquis called us. Chen Chong didn't want to say anything more to him.
"Little Hou Ye!" The three of them said at the same time.
"What about Lin Qingran?" Li Mingyuan saw that Lin Qingran didn't come over.
"She said she'd come back later." Chen Chong said.
"She's not feeling well?" Li Mingyuan asked with concern.
"It should ...... No, she looks pretty energetic. Chen Chong said hesitantly.
"Are you chatting with that Shangjing again?" Li Mingyuan knew why.
“…… Yes, yes. Chen Chong replied honestly.
This Lin Qingran, in recent days, has flirted with that little white face in front of me behind my back, and he doesn't even take me seriously!
"Such an important discussion, she should be like this! I went to find her personally! Li Mingyuan seized an opportunity, of course, he had to discipline her well.
Lin Qingran was talking to Shang Jing at this time.
"Shang Jing, have you ever been on a boat? It's one of those big, multi-story boats. She gestured with her hand.
"I've only taken the kind of ferry boat that crosses the river." Shang Jing said cautiously.
"That's not the same at all, that kind of big ship, there are several floors, you can live a lot of people, you can eat, sleep, and watch the scenery inside, it's fun!" Lin Qingran said excitedly.
"yes, I haven't seen it." The sound of Shangjing gradually became quieter.
Lin Qingran suddenly realized that what she said would make Shang Jing feel inferior. "I've heard from people, but I've never sat on it."
There are many such boats on the river in the south of the Yangtze River, and her father used to take her on a boat to enjoy the scenery.
"Ah......," she sighed quietly.
"By the way, the boat ...... "Isn't it okay for us to go to the capital this time to pass through Huizhou?" Li Mingyuan is a relative of the emperor, and it is not a simple matter to get the first boat, and ......, she was thinking about it when she heard Li Mingyuan's voice from behind.
"What are you doing? Discuss such an important matter as the council! You didn't even come, and you are still flirting here! Believe it or not, my military law deals with you! Li Mingyuan looked at her and said angrily.
You don't have to look at it to know it's him, "Aren't I ready to go over?" With that, Lin Qingran stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Mingyuan didn't expect that she would compromise so quickly, and she didn't know what to say for a while, "It's good to know!" Come here! ”
"Shang Jing, then I'll go first, and we'll talk later." She said goodbye to Shangjing.
We'll talk about it later! Don't you take me seriously! The more Li Mingyuan heard this, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, no! I'm still going to have to find a chance to lock this guy up.
Lin Qingran glanced at Li Mingyuan and thought, why is this person always like eating gunpowder, with such a big temper, just a little bit.
Everyone has arrived, Li Mingyuan said: "I will arrive in Huizhou soon, I originally planned to arrive in the capital in two months, but now that Taizhou has been delayed for so long, is there any way to speed up the trip." ”
"Little Hou Ye, it's better to add some horses, we have a horse in each hand, and we will rush over directly!" Liu Wei said.
"Why is your idea still so unreliable, and you still have a horse in your hand, not to mention whether everyone in this team can ride a horse, just say what about these boxes after riding?" Li Mingyuan really didn't look down on his thoughts.
"Is there any other way?" Li Mingyuan continued to ask.
"How is the team running? Little Marquis, we also ran when we were marching before, and we were tired, but we were still able to persevere, and we could run at the same speed as the carriage. Chen Chong said.
Lin Qingran thought to himself, what is this person, what are you thinking, he is still running, he is tired of walking to death, running to the capital, he can figure it out!
"It's a way!" Li Mingyuan said.
What? Does this Li Mingyuan still agree?
Lin Qingran really didn't understand what they thought, "This is still a long way from the capital, run!" You're on horseback, soldiers carrying goods! ”
"I think I can, I can carry it to the capital." Wang Li said immediately.
This Wang Li usually doesn't participate in discussions, why is he so active today! Alas...... If they don't say anything, it is estimated that they are really ready to run to the capital.
"Calm down, y'all! There is such a good means of travel on the Southern Canal, what steps do you run! Lin Qingran said.
"A means of getting around? What's the difference between that and now? Li Mingyuan asked.
"Ship...... This Huizhou is located in the south, the Jiangnan Canal is convenient, from north to south, we go to the capital this time belongs to the water! Take a boat straight down to save time and effort! She explained.
"By boat?" Li Mingyuan's heart tightened, not that he thought this idea was bad, but that he had always had a shadow of this kind of means of travel, and when he was on a sea boat, he even had to vomit out his internal organs.
"Well, running or boating, which do you think is better?" Li Mingyuan thought of the shadows and didn't really want to take a boat.
Lin Qingran thought to himself, this ...... Still want to choose? This is obviously a good boat!
"I think it's good to take a boat!" Liu Wei said.
"I think running is good." Wang Li said.
Chen Chong looked at Li Mingyuan, he knew the miserable situation of the little marquis back then, but he felt that it was definitely better to take a boat than to run. "Then little Hou Ye, what do you think is good?"
Running to the capital, it must be too much physical exertion, in case you really want to fight......
But it takes so long to go to the capital...... "Indeed, the Southern Canal is convenient, and the physical exertion of running is too great. Li Mingyuan felt a headache!
"It's just that, little marquis, most of our soldiers are used to traveling on land, so will they not be suitable for taking a boat." Chen Chong saw the difficulties of the little marquis.
Are they worried about seasickness? "The boats on the canal are relatively smooth, not as strong as the sea travel." Lin Qingran said again.
Li Mingyuan thought, if it is known that I am a little marquis and seasick, then how can I save face! "We are all people who have experienced strong winds and waves, just taking a boat, there is nothing to adapt to! So decided, take a boat to the capital, and go down. "Alas, a headache!
"Yes!" The crowd said.
