Li Hanning's hand behind his back was already secretly clenching the dagger.

She hesitated for a moment and glanced out of the hallway, "I just—"

But Chu Zhou quickly walked up: "This is for you." ”

Li Hanning looked at the steamed buns he handed over and was a little surprised, this is for her?

Chu Zhou explained: "I saw that you didn't eat tonight, and this is what I left for you." ”

Today's boat speed is very slow, and the boatman's work has not been completed, so everyone's food today is not very good, and even their stewards are also involved, and only one steamed bun is distributed.

Chuzhou left all his dinner tonight to Li Hanning, who made him look thinner and more in need of eating.

But just a second ago, Li Hanning was still thinking that if she couldn't explain it, she would knock the person unconscious first, and now she always feels a little guilty when she sees this scene.

She took advantage of the gap between reaching out to take the steamed bun and withdrew the dagger in her hand.

Chu Zhou said again: "Actually, there are a lot of boatmen today, and they all secretly go to the room at night, and there are several of them I have seen, did you also go to the room to find food just now?" ”

Seeing that there was a ready-made reason, Li Hanning nodded hurriedly, she looked down at the steamed bun in her hand, although it was already cold, but it was still soft, and people always felt that any food was more precious when they were hungry.

It's ridiculous that she was about to stun the person in front of her just now.

Li Hanning broke the steamed bun in his hand into two halves and handed over half of it.

Li Hanning looked at Chu Zhou and said, "This is for you, eat it." ”

Chu Zhou immediately waved his hand and shirked: "I've eaten it, let's eat it." ”

Chu Zhou knew in his heart how big the steamed bun he gave could be, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat enough for one person to divide it like this.

But Li Hanning had no intention of taking it back, so Chuzhou could only take it back.

The steamed buns are sweet, and the steamed buns she ate today seem to be the most delicious of the steamed buns she has ever eaten.

Li Hanning watched with some surprise as Chu Zhou sat on the bed and took off his coat, looking like he was ready to sleep, Li Hanning followed and asked:

"Are you not going to patrol today?"

Chu Zhou immediately responded: "No, the boss will let us come back to rest, he will stare at it alone, and if something happens, he will call us." ”

They actually let their guard down at this time, and when she went just now, she was just in time for their shift change, and she was just in time for the most opportune time.

Maybe it was because at night, there was silence outside the room, Li Hanning extinguished the candle in the room, and the two of them lay on their respective bed boards with their clothes.

Chu Zhou suddenly asked: "Li Han, the ship will arrive in Luoyang tomorrow, will you not come back to work after getting off the ship?" ”

Li Hanning said in his heart After they find out about the smuggling of salt, this ship should still be confiscated, and the current salt transport envoy will probably be punished, and people like him in Chuzhou should not be implicated, but this errand in charge should be gone.

Li Hanning replied quietly: "I was originally a short-term worker, and after getting off the ship, I should go to Luoyang to make a living." ”

She won't be coming back.

She heard Chu Zhou seem to sigh, as if she was a little sorry, but there were more opportunities to make money in Luoyang City, which was definitely much better than those of them who had to stay on the ship:

"That's fine, I heard others say that Luoyang City is very lively, and the dignitaries of the Great Zhou Dynasty live there, and there should be a lot of opportunities, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to go ashore."

Li Hanning didn't know why it couldn't go ashore, and thought it was because he was used to being a steward here and had no relatives he knew on land.

When Chuzhou came here, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned over to lie on his side and looked at Li Hanning opposite:

"When we get to Luoyang, it's pilgrimage festival, and there will be a lot of people who put the sky lantern that night, and they said that the wish to put the sky lantern will be very spiritual, but I can't get off the boat, you can help me make a wish."

Is there anything else you can say about making a wish for someone to make? It was the first time Li Hanning had heard of such a statement today.

But she didn't refuse: "What do you want to make?" ”

If Chuzhou couldn't get off the boat, she could naturally help him put a sky lantern.

Chu Zhou thought about it seriously and said: "I want to think about the past, and I think that the people I know can be safe and smooth, and I will have no worries about my life." ”

In the end, he seemed to feel a little greedy again, and Chu Zhou quickly added:

"If it can't be written, then the second half of what I just said is more important."

If he really can't remember the past, forget it, he hopes that the gods in the sky can see the second half of his wish.

Li Hanning said: "Don't worry, I've written it down, since I promised you, I will never break my promise, it's late today, just rest early." ”

She has always had a good memory, and she can remember everything she promised others and every important word she said.

Chu Zhou closed his eyes and answered her in a daze:

"Well, you go to bed early, see you tomorrow."

The sound of steady breathing came slowly, there seemed to be the sound of waves on the river outside the window, all the sounds seemed to be very clear in Li Hanning, she opened her eyes and stared at the mahogany lacquered ceiling overhead, Li Hanning suddenly couldn't sleep.

Then he unconsciously glanced at Chu Zhou, who was already asleep, it would be good if he could live like him for the rest of his life, but his life as a steward on this ship should end soon.

When the time comes, will a person like him decide where to go?

If he wanted to go to the Luoyang military camp, Li Hanning might be able to help him.

She remembered the steamed buns handed over by Chuzhou at that time, although it was just a meeting in Pingshui, but she at least remembered the person in Chuzhou in this line.

The distance between the big ship and Luoyang was getting closer and closer as they slept.

In the afternoon, I don't know who in the legend let out an exclamation first, pointing to Luoyang City in the distance, and many people's eyes followed the direction he pointed, and the Luoyang they were going to finally got closer and closer.

The boat gradually approached the shore, and the boatmen lined up in an orderly line to disembark.

Li Hanning held a dagger in his hand.

She didn't get the token to get off the boat, she did plan to get the token from Chuzhou before, but after knowing each other for a long time, she couldn't bear to do it, so she could make a move to cause chaos when she waited for a while, and then took advantage of the chaos to get off the boat.

"Alright, next."

Luoyang City's people dressed as officers and soldiers were guarding the entrance of the boat, and everyone who got off the boat carefully checked the token, and now Li Hanning was getting closer and closer to that officer and soldier, and the dagger in her hand was getting tighter and tighter.

When she finally arrived, the officer and soldier saw that she couldn't get the token, so he looked up at her:

"Where's your token?"

Li Hanning's eyes sank, and when she was about to make a move, the person behind her suddenly tugged on her belt.

"Isn't that your token? It's been a long time, what are you doing there? Don't delay others from disembarking. ”

Li Hanning turned around and glanced at it with some doubts, what the person ripped off from the back of his waist just now was really a token, but this token was not hers, the man stuffed the token back into her hand, pushed it, and Li Hanning, who had not come back to his senses, had to get off the boat.

When she took a few steps forward, she found that what she was holding was the token of Chuzhou in her hand!

If this token is given to her, then what will Chuzhou do next? Could they not have this token? Or did Chu Zhou find out that night that she was not a boatman, and she got on the boat to investigate smuggling?

She didn't even know when he secretly tied this token to herself.

But now that there are so many people on the dock, it is too easy to get into trouble if you go back now, this ship should be docked here for a day, Li Hanning plans to wait until the evening, and then she will secretly return the token.

Li Hanning waited near the dock for a day, from the afternoon to the evening of dawn, and at the gate of the city to the dock in the evening, there seemed to be more and more officers and soldiers nearby, Li Hanning heard them say that it was because Xiao Ce was about to return to Luoyang City, but these officers and soldiers did not seem to strengthen security to meet him, looking at this posture seems to be another possibility.

However, tonight is also a pilgrimage festival, and there is no curfew in Luoyang tonight, so even at night, the streets are still full of people and traffic.

Li Hanning walked on the street, looking at the night was almost dark, and walked in the direction of the dock, which bumped into a few men talking.

"Don't go to the dock now, I just came from the dock, I originally wanted to go to the dock near the windy wind, just take advantage of the situation to put the sky lantern, who ever thought to see that battle, the water near the dock will be dyed red."

"What's red?"

One of them lowered his voice and said, "Naturally, human blood is stained red, do you remember the official ship that brought the salt in the afternoon?" I heard that there were a lot of people who had been smuggled in without tokens just now, and those people were all executed by the housekeeper's family, and their bodies were piled up on the dock, as tall as half a villain. ”

"What's wrong with it, learn from others to smuggle, Luoyang's laws are strict with the laws of smuggling, these people are just for some money, and they all died at a young age."

Li Hanning heard the conversation of those people clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned by the footsteps.

If she heard it correctly, the place they were talking about was the wharf, and the only cargo ship that was transported to the Luoyang wharf in the afternoon was their own, could it be that ship they were talking about?

But it was the ship of the salt envoy, this is Luoyang, everyone knows that the ship belongs to the Xue family, who dares to detain the ship so blatantly and kill the people on board?

Will anyone who doesn't have a token be considered a smuggler? And what about Chuzhou? Chuzhou's token is still in her hand, how is he?

Li Hanning was worried, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace and rushed towards the direction of the dock.
