Leaving from Chuzhou City, it is more than 100 miles away from Dajiang Ferry.

There were not only 500 victorious troops who served as escorts, but also 2,000 officers and soldiers temporarily mobilized from Chuzhou City to defend the city.

From the mouth of the thirteen niang who was captured by mistake, it was learned that on the way to the ferry, there were still many assassins from Yanyulou secretly ambushing, ready to attack the mission.

Although during the five days that the mission was temporarily in Chuzhou City, Hou Ji led Long Wuwei to secretly clean it up, but it was inevitable that there were no fish that slipped through the net.

The additional 2,000 officers and soldiers were sent to escort the escort for security reasons.

Sometimes Chen Chao wonders if he is too cautious.

It's just that an assassin sent by a so-called killer organization actually asked him to dispatch the officers and soldiers of Chuzhou City?

But come to think of it, there's no way around it.

You have to be very cautious on the road, and you can't make a mistake.

If Chu Yan dies on the road before he is delivered to the people who are receiving from the Chu State, the matter of harmony will be immediately suspended!

All the early efforts of the Daji side will turn into smoke and disappear!

However, fortunately, the current situation is still in the hands of the Chen Dynasty, and due to the additional 2,000 officers and soldiers of Chuzhou City who were sent to escort them along the road in advance, there were no accidents on the way to the ferry.

None of the Assassins were fools, and they wouldn't hit a stone with an egg.

The convoy drove leisurely towards the ferry, neither fast nor slow, and Chen Chao in the carriage opened his eyes at a certain moment and looked at the other person who was in the same car with him.

Also following the Chen Dynasty to Jinling was Yue'e, Song Qingwan's personal maid.

The little girl was about the same age as Ning Baizhi, or even younger, with a braided hair hanging down to her waist behind her head.

She sat carefully in the car, placing herself in an inconspicuous corner, her hands resting on her knees, her lips pursed slightly, her eyes daring to look around, always looking ahead.

If Chen Chao hadn't ordered her to sit just now, she was afraid that she would have to kneel all the way.

Chen Chao didn't know why Song Qingwan had to stuff Yue'e to him, maybe Song Qingwan, as his wife, was worried that Chen Chao was unfamiliar with life in Jinling, and a group of rough men around him did things carelessly, so he sent Yue'e over to take care of Chen Chao's daily life.

It may also be because of the "double cultivation" for a while, because in Song Qingwan's cognition, Chen Chao is inseparable from women, otherwise he will go mad and explode and die.

So Yue'e was naturally sent over.

Chen Chao's first impression of Yue'e was that she was upright, spoke upright, and acted upright!

She always remembers her identity as a maid, and will not easily transgress the rules, and will not do anything that deviates from her identity in any way, unless someone else forces her.

For example, now, she and Chen Chao are on an equal footing.

If this thing had been placed in another house, it would have been beaten to death with a stick.

The outcome of Yue'e's life can almost be predicted, if the situation is better, she will become the eldest girl in the Chen Dynasty, and she will become the highest-ranking maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if the situation is not good......

There is a high probability that Chen Chao will not let this happen.

Aiwu and Wu, she is Song Qingwan's most trusted maid, and Chen Chao will not treat her too badly.

What is the undying love between men and women for Yue'e?

Chen Chao shook his head decisively.

The main thing is to accompany and take care of!

In this era, everyone is equal, first there is affection and then love? That would be naïve.

Chen Chao is not a virgin.

"Do you know what Madame meant by sending you here?"

Chen Chao asked.

Yue'e knelt down subconsciously and bowed her head in response, "I know." ”

Take care of Chen Chao's daily life, in addition, when Chen Chao needs it, she takes the position of the second lady Ning Baizhi.

"Why, you look reluctant?" Chen Chao frowned.

"No, no, the slave is willing, the slave is willing...."Yue'e hurriedly put her hands on her forehead and bowed deeply.

"Get up, don't kneel at every turn." Chen Chao wrote lightly: "You know what Madame sent you here for, just remind me, this trip to Jinling is very dangerous, along the way, think more, listen and watch more, and be cautious in words and deeds!" Don't get me in any trouble. ”

"Slave beware!"

"Hmm."

In response, Chen Chao stopped speaking and continued to recuperate behind closed doors.

Yue'e first raised her head and secretly glanced at Chen Chao, then slowly got up and continued to sit in the corner of the carriage, feeling uneasy.

......

It was past noon, and the delegation finally arrived at the ferry.

On the other side of the river is the famous Yanziji of Jinling in the Chu State.

As a prestigious ferry port, it is a perennial port of boats.

However, today's weather is not very good, there is fog on the river, even if it is noon, the fog on the river does not show any signs of dissipation, which also leads to the small number of boats crossing the river today.

The side of the crossing had already received an order from the imperial court that in order to make an envoy to the state of Chu, the ferry began to prepare ships as early as a month ago.

Now there are three official boats docked at the ferry, quietly waiting for the mission to cross the river by boat.

Seeing the arrival of the mission, the person in charge of the ferry hurriedly came out to greet him.

This is a fat man who eats fat and strong, since ancient times, the ferry port is a fat difference, and the ships crossing the river have to pay taxes, checks, this ship detains some grain, that boat detains some cloth, and this oil and water will not come.

Seeing that the fat man led people to greet him, the mission was sending Murong Chong to lead a team of people to dock.

Murong Chong looked at the fat man and asked, "Are you all ready?" When can I cross the river? ”

The fat man showed a flattering smile on his face, rubbed his hands, and said respectfully: "Lord Hui, everything has already been prepared, and you can cross the river now." ”

However, the fat man suddenly changed his words, and said halfway: "Adult, the little one has an immature suggestion that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Say."

The fat man stretched out his hand, pointed to the foggy river in the distance, and said, "My lord, please see, there is a fog on the river this morning, the sight is not good, the boat is risky, and the fog has not dispersed until now." The villain suggested that the mission wait at the ferry for a few days, and when the weather is clear and the river surface is unobstructed, it is not too late to cross the river, everything is important for safety. ”

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, there is a certain risk in traveling on foggy days.

But Murong Chong wrinkled his brows and said, "Don't wait, I've been delayed on the road for a long time, and if I wait any longer, I'm afraid I will miss the handover date." ”

That's all the talk, and the fat man can't say anything.

At this moment, a few loud cheers suddenly sounded in the convoy of the mission that was preparing to board the ship in the distance.

"Presumptuous! You dare to check the mission! ”

"Stand back, all stand back!"

Looking sideways, I saw a group of soldiers of the victorious army, armed with knives and guns, and had a lot of clashes with the soldiers in charge of the cross-examination at the ferry, and both sides were almost to the point of drawing their swords against each other.

Murong Chong looked at the fat man and said in an unkind tone, "What does this mean?" Do you dare to check the mission? ”

The fat man had already prepared, moved his fat body and rushed to the soldiers who were interrogating, grabbed a few leaders and scolded them with a slashing face:

"If you can't find death, the mission dares to investigate? Ate the bear's heart and leopard gall. ”

"Get out of here, let go, let go!"

The few ferry soldiers who got on the boat to check the convoy of the mission slipped down, and the fat man returned to Murong Chong's side with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Don't blame me, my lord, all the boats that crossed the river in the past were inevitably used to a check. ”

"A few of them are new here, they don't know the rules, don't blame them."

Daji and Chu divided the river and ruled, crossed the river, and the opposite side was the territory of the people. The government of both sides stipulated that many things were strictly forbidden to flow out, such as Daji, which strictly prohibited cement from flowing into the Chu State, so whether it was a merchant ship or other ships, the officers and soldiers at the ferry port had to strictly check it, and they would only be released after there was no problem.

However, the imperial court had already given the ferry a letter, and the mission was exempted from inspection, especially those carriages.

And just now, the soldiers at the ferry wanted to see what was in the carriage, which caused a dispute between the two sides.

Seeing that the fat man had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and put all the blame on those recruits, Murong Chong didn't bother to entangle with him more, and after the mission convoy and supplies were on the ship, Murong Chong glanced at the fat man and boarded the boat.

After inspecting the three ships again, and everything was all right, the fat man shouted at the top of his voice:

"Anchor! Sail! ”

"Lift the anchor and sail!"

The soldiers standing on the shore of the ferry shouted in unison, and the three official boats began to move slowly across the river.

Watching the official ship go farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the thick fog, the fat man's face changed, and he changed his very flattering appearance.

He beckoned, and one of his attendants stepped forward and attached his ears.

The fat man looked at the river and whispered: "Go back to the eldest princess, just say that I don't know which ship the carriage of the six princes is on, I have done my best, don't blame Princess Wanwang." ”

Following the order, the letter was tied to the pigeon's leg and the pigeon was released.....
