Chapter 49: The Troublemaker (7)
Although it was only evening when He Bayu and the others arrived at the Chang River, and the sun had just set, there was no boat on the river at this time.
He couldn't help frowning, and said to He Wu beside him:
"You look around and see if you can find the ferry. If there is no big one, a smaller one is fine. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" He Wu responded, and let his subordinates scatter to look for it.
He Bayu looked out into the middle of the river, hoping to see the late returning ferry.
Although it was said that it was one day ahead of schedule, it was calculated that Liangxi Pavilion had been trapped for seven or eight days.
Although there is no shortage of food in this Liangxi Pavilion on weekdays, there is also a lot of dim sum. But after such a long time, even if you don't die of hunger and thirst, I'm afraid that you will be suffocated to death.
Thinking that Ah Jiu had the habit of going for a walk by Wanqing Lake no matter how late she was, He Bayu was really afraid that she would be bored.
Moreover, no matter how he guessed, it was not as reliable as what he saw with his own eyes.
Maybe he thought too well, Liang Xige's situation at this time was even worse than he imagined.
As soon as he thought of this, He Bayu couldn't wait to immediately put on his wings and fly across the river, pull the guy from Phantom City back to the palace, and ask him to open the ban on Liangxi Pavilion immediately.
He Wu looked around, but found nothing.
At this time, the sky was darker, and there was a faint layer of mist on the river, but I was afraid that even if there were ships that returned late, they would not return at this time.
This made a hint of anxiety flash across He Bayu's face.
Obviously, he was only one step away, but he was trapped on the other side of the river, and at this time, even if he went to find a way again, he was afraid that it would not be easy.
Is he going to waste his time waiting?
At this moment, Murto, who was resting on a boulder next to him, suddenly pointed to the heart of the river and said, "There are lights, is there a boat sailing over!" ”
Born in the grasslands, Murto's eyesight is strong, and he is even more sensitive to distant lights.
After he shouted, everyone faintly saw a faint light floating from far and near the river.
When it floated closer, He Batyu was overjoyed, for it was indeed a small boat.
It's just that after the surprise, He Bayu secretly frowned again, because this small boat is too small, I'm afraid it can only hold three or four people at most.
As the boat drifted closer and closer, an old man with a white beard jumped out of the boat.
He tied a cable to a small tree next to him and was about to leave.
It's so easy to wait for the ship, how can you let him go away like this.
He Wu hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to greet the old man and said, "This boatman, we are going to cross the river, can you give us a ride?" ”
Hearing He Wu's question, the old man stopped.
He glanced at the people behind him, pouted, and said, "It's too late today, wait for tomorrow." ”
As he spoke, he was leaving again.
He Wu stopped him again and said with a smile: "This old man, we have urgent matters, and I hope you can drive us over immediately." In terms of fares, you can just ask. ”
He Wu's words made the old man a little interested.
He tilted his head to look at He Wudao: "Ship fare?" Old man, I want the night pearl in the emperor's crown, and you can give it to me too? ”
He Wu's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but look at He Bayu, and said secretly in his heart: If you dare to ask for it, maybe someone will dare to give it.
However, he wanted to think about it, but at this time he knew that this was the excuse that the old man was unwilling to cross the river, so he had to bite the bullet and say:
"How about we buy this boat of yours? We pay 10 times the price! ”
