The weak Yunbi was helped into the cabin by Zhao Sichen.

Yun Bi saw Wei Qianlang, although she was extremely tired and the person continued to collapse, she was polite for several weeks, and did not forget to smile and nod at Wei Qianlang.

Wei Qianlang saw that Yun Bi was covered in blood and stains, and his face was exhausted.

He stood up with his shoulders covered, endured the pain from his back shoulder, stepped over to the washbasin in two steps, took the burlap cloth on the washbasin, dipped it in water, and handed it to Yunbi.

Yun Bi smiled gratefully, but the burlap handed over by Wei Qianlang wiped his face and wiped his hands well.

Zhao Sichen didn't stop for a moment, and after helping Yun Bi to sit down, he first rushed to the stern of the boat, and after a while, he entered the cabin again, holding two bowls of warm water in his hand, and handed Yun Bi a bowl.

On the other side, Zhao Zhifei neatly raised the sails, tied the hemp rope, fixed the sails, and then lifted the curtain and strode into the cabin.

The cabin is not large, the things are simple, only one bed, one table, two chairs.

There are two chairs on the left and one on the right next to the table, sitting Yun Bi and Zhao Sichen respectively.

Wei Qianlang was originally half-lying on the small bed, but when he saw Zhao Zhufei coming in, he hurriedly stepped aside, gave up most of the bed to Zhao Zhufei, and got up and stood aside.

Zhao Zhufei was not polite, glanced at Wei Qianlang, and sat down at the end of the bed.

Zhao Sichen hurriedly handed another bowl of water to Zhao Zhufei.

Zhao Zhufei took the water from Zhao Sichen's hand and slurred a big bowl.

Zhao Sichen hurriedly took out the dried meat and buns from a clean linen package, and handed them to Yun Bi and Zhao Zhufei to pad their stomachs first.

Here, Yun Bi and Zhao Zhufei were eating dried meat and buns, and on the other side, Xi Ge'er brought a small stove, set up a small pot, and boiled a small porridge in the cabin.

Zhao Sichen helped on the side, throwing dried scallops, small fish, and dried meat into the porridge water as if he didn't want money.

Soon, the aroma of seafood and fish porridge filled the entire cabin.

Zhao Sichen was busy with his work and asked, "Why did the two of you come back together?" ”

Zhao Zhufei bit the jerky and said vaguely: "I met a ...... in the woods."

He ate too quickly, and the next few words were even more slurred, and he couldn't hear what was said.

Zhao Sichen couldn't hear it clearly, and he couldn't interrupt Zhao Zhufei to fill his stomach, so he could only be in a hurry.

Yun Bi ate a few pieces of jerky, bit half a bun, and regained some strength in her body.

Seeing Zhao Sichen's anxious face, Yun Bi said softly: "Uncle Zhao and I met in the middle of the night......

Zhao Sichen hurriedly asked, "Have you met the pursuers?" ”

Yun Bi nodded and replied softly, "After separating from you yesterday, I walked alone for a while, and I encountered a wave of pursuers-"

Zhao Sichen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it dangerous?" What happened? Nothing serious, right? ”

Wei Qianlang listened quietly on the side, and saw Zhao Sichen asking questions again and again, his eyes full of worry.

He didn't know how, but his heart warmed.

Zhao Sichen ignored Wei Qianlang and continued to ask, "How many people are there on the other side?" Isn't it hard to deal with?! ”

Yun Bi said: "The other party seems to be in the system, and each time there are four or five people walking together. I met a squad of five men, all of them sturdy men with swords on their bodies. ”

Zhao Sichen bit his lower lip, with worry and guilt in his eyes: "Sister Yunbi......"

Yun Bi smiled softly and comforted, "It's okay." I'm not stupid. I didn't dare to confront them. At first, I just wanted to hide quietly, but I still found traces......"

Zhao Sichen's eyes gradually turned red.

Yun Bi still had a light smile on her face, and said lightly: "I only dare to go around with them secretly, but fortunately, the grass and trees are lush in the dense forest, and I am familiar with the terrain, so I spent the whole night in the dense forest." It's just that later, I don't have much strength......"

Zhao Sichen held a fan in one hand to fan the small charcoal stove, and hurriedly handed over a piece of dried meat with the other hand.

Yun Bi took the jerky handed over by Zhao Sichen, but did not eat it, and continued to say the thrilling thing lightly: "I thought, all methods have been exhausted, and the other party is getting tighter and tighter."

Sooner or later, you can't escape, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to rush out and kill them by surprise while you still have the strength.

If I can cut one, it's a good deal, and if I cut two, I earn ......."

Zhao Sichen listened silently, tears rolled in his eyes, and the fingers holding the pu fan in his hand were forced, and the joints were white.

The hand holding the fan also slowed down.

Yun Bi smiled, stretched out her hand, patted the back of Zhao Sichen's hand, and said, "Who knows, I saw Uncle Zhao before I rushed out."

Uncle Zhao is a man with outstanding martial arts, one fights four, and before I can see it clearly, he cut down four people.

Fortunately, I was also clever, so I rushed out and finally grabbed the last one, which can be regarded as a meritorious ......"

Yun Bi's tone was witty, with a smile in her voice.

Zhao Sichen knew that those pursuers had good martial arts, and they must have encountered a vicious battle.

I don't know what kind of thrilling scene it is.

Yun Bi turned her face and asked, "Uncle Zhao, I didn't have time to ask you just now, why are you here alone?" What about Yu Feng? Are Yu Feng and Mr. Guo okay? ”

Zhao Zhufei finished eating the bun in his hand, clapped his hands, brushed off the fine crumbs in his hands, and said, "I have already sent Guo Lao and Yufeng to Linshui County." After they entered Linshui County, I was worried about you, so I didn't dare to delay, bought a fast horse, and hurried back to you all the way. ”

Yun Biqi said: "How did you find our location?" ”

Although Zhao Zhufei was tired, his face was very energetic.

Hearing Yun Bi's question, Zhao Zhufei smiled and said, "If you have a smooth journey, it will be really difficult to find." But you—

Along the way, either set traps or cut people.

Forget about cutting people, just leave after cutting people, the scene is a mess, and the corpses are not cleaned up properly.

I follow your trail all the way.

I thought that at night, it would be in the dense forest, and it would be difficult to track it again.

Who knows, those pursuers were too stupid to want to hide their tracks, and they were swaggering with torches.

I followed them and soon found Miss Yunbi. ”

Yun Bi smiled and thanked: "Fortunately, Uncle Zhao is amazing." Thank you, Uncle Zhao. ”

Zhao Zhufei waved his hand: "It's nothing." It's all a family, so you don't have to be polite with me. ”

Zhao Sichen turned his worries into joy, his face was full of joy, he took out a gray pottery spoon, added a bowl full of hot fish porridge on top of a large pottery bowl, and diligently handed it to Zhao Zhufei's hand: "Uncle Zhao, you have worked hard, drink some fish porridge to relieve fatigue." ”

Zhao Zhufei said with a smile: "Let's drink porridge together and raise our spirits before we can continue to hurry." ”

Yun Bi rested for a while, regained some energy, and habitually wanted to take the porridge spoon in Zhao Sichen's hand: "Miss, you rest, I'll get it." ”

Zhao Sichen avoided Yun Bi's outstretched hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun Bi, today you let me show my cooking skills, you can be the guide, just watch from the sidelines." ”

Yun Bi pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that Zhao Sichen felt sorry for her, so she gave up and didn't rob her.

Zhao Sichen was in a very good mood, and served Yun Bi a bowl of hot porridge and covered it with a lot of fish and jerky.

Seeing that Zhao Zhufei and Yun Bi were eating happily, she simply brought in all the river fresh food on the boat, set up an iron shelf, roasted river fresh for everyone, and beckoned Wei Qianlang to eat together.

Xi Ge'er hid the ship in a hidden place, returned to the cabin, and said with a smile: "We have run a long way - I see that there are no pursuers behind me, and I also relax with the big guys." ”

Zhao Sichen responded with a smile: "It's also hard work Brother Xi'er, Brother Xi'er comes, you sit here." ”

Zhao Sichen stepped aside, and it happened to be a position next to Yun Bi.

Xi Ge'er's face was hot, but he didn't dare to step forward directly, so he only moved a few small pieces, sat close to the curtain of the cabin, carefully nibbled on the grilled dried fish in his hand, and looked in the direction of Yunbi from time to time.

For a moment, there was laughter in the cabin.

Wei Qianlang saw that Zhao Sichen's eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled, and the big stone in his heart was removed in an instant, and his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

……

……

The rest of the trip was smooth sailing.

The crowd went smoothly and there were no more accidents.

On the second day, Xi Ge'er passed through a small waterway, and led everyone to smoothly bypass the border between Wu and Wei, and arrived at a river embankment used for smuggling in Wei.

The river is not wide, the pier is not large, but many small boats come ashore here.

Wei Qianlang secretly sighed.

This is obviously just a small river beach in the middle of nowhere, on the border of the Wei State, maybe it is a wharf that is not even on the exploration map.

Due to the various people and goods moving, this small dock has prospered like a small town.

Wei Qianlang watched the dock workers come and go to carry the goods, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and emotional.

The Wei State was strong, and coupled with the diligent administration of the current Shengshang, even the border towns were managed in an orderly manner.

Wu was in turmoil a few years ago, and although the war has decreased in recent years, it is also necessary to continue to rectify state affairs.

Therefore, Wei attached great importance to the border management between Wu and Wei, and strictly restricted the entry of ships and personnel of Wu into Wei.

The main fear was that the turmoil in the state of Wu would have a negative impact on the state of Wei.

If you are not careful, whether it is a large number of refugees entering Wei or the turmoil caused by the war in Wu, Wei does not want to see.

Therefore, the Wei State was extremely strict with border patrols and household registration management.

Wei Qianlang originally thought that he had managed the Wei State meticulously, but now he saw that the border between Wu and Wei was like a sieve, smuggling became a common practice, people came and went at will, and the business of carriage and horse dealers was still in full swing.

If you think about it further, frequent smuggling is not only not conducive to the stability of the border, but also the goods are not clear, and the state collects less taxes every year!

Wei Qianlang thought like this, and couldn't help but say what he thought in his heart.

Zhao Sichen happened to be packing up his things on the side, and when he heard Wei Qianlang say this, he replied with a smile: "That's not either." Border commerce is active, and it is okay to let merchants occasionally transport goods."

Wei Qianlang frowned, thinking that Zhao Sichen didn't understand, and said: "To manage the country well, border management, tax collection is indispensable. Do you know that when the treasury is full, the government can operate, and only then can it have the spare strength to appease the people's livelihood, build water conservancy, build bridges and roads......

"I didn't let the government not rectify the taxes, but the government just collected the money that was easy to collect, and it was impossible to cover everything, and the government didn't have that much energy.

Now there is this chaos, mainly because Wu and Wei do not have trade, and the people have a demand for commodity flow, so there will be smuggling chaos.

If the two countries of Wu and Wei were opened to trade and navigation in the future, and the chaos of smuggling decreased, these merchants naturally had to find other ways to make a living......

Having said that, businessmen pursue profits, although everyone says that businessmen forget their righteousness in pursuit of profits, but it is also with businessmen that there is a flow of materials and a lively life......"

Wei Qianlang received an orthodox education, flattered farmers and industrialists since he was a child, and respected scholars.

Scholars study hard, seeking to learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family.

Hearing Zhao Sichen say that the merchant was so important, Wei Qianlang looked back at Zhao Sichen in surprise and opened his mouth slightly.

Zhao Sichen's words had a great impact on Wei Qianlang's cognition.

Zhao Sichen didn't notice Wei Qianlang's strange appearance, thinking that it was just a few small talks.

As she spoke, she packed her light luggage lightly and quickly, carried a small package, and said to Wei Qianlang, "Let's go, get off the boat." ”

Wei Qianlang silently closed his mouth.

He listened to such earth-shattering words, and only hoped that Zhao Sichen would not publicize her remarks all over the world, otherwise he was afraid that it would cause everyone to be angry.
