Xu Yunshen was stopped.

In front of me was a pretty woman who was fully armed and carrying a large package.

"Autumn water...... You're ......."

The woman was Duan Qiushui, wearing a set of regular clothes inside and two layers of cotton jackets on the outside.

Duan Qiushui's voice passed through the blocked mask and said, "Childe, I heard that you are going to the Extreme North Road as a messenger." To put it nicely, it's actually to suffer. And there was no one with you, so I packed up and came. Childe, don't be in a hurry to refuse. ”

She didn't give Xu Yunshen the space to speak at all, and said:

"Why refuse? I happened to go to the north to see if I could get in touch with a barbarian. You also know that it is my long-cherished wish to kill the enemy and serve the country. Let me tell you, I am now a person from the Three Realms, that is, the Spirit Realm, and I will not hold you back. Plus my talent, it's useful, right?"

"Childe, don't reject me anymore, okay......"

In the last sentence, she was crying.

Xu Yunshen looked at her silently, and he had no idea in his heart.

At the beginning, his rivalry with Yuzhongge was tactful, but for a sensitive woman, it was extremely straightforward.

Straightforwardly like a knife stabbed in her fluttering heart.

But Duan Qiushui still held a bloody heart and walked towards Xu Yunshen, with pleading and longing on his face.

"It's impossible for us......" Xu Yun sighed deeply.

Duan Qiushui's aggrieved expression suddenly disappeared, glared at him, and said, "What may be impossible, I just want to go to the north with you along the way, where do you want to go?"

Okay, good, I was wrong, I was wrong. Xu Yunshen touched his head and smiled.

"That is, I was about to go to the palace to report on my work, and you came with me. ”

"Hmm. ”

The woman who followed behind Xu Yunshen suddenly became brisk.

Although she was clumsy and carried a large bag with a murderous weapon inside.

But no matter how cold the wind was, it couldn't hide her bright smile.

......

Xu Yunshen came out of the palace, still carrying a huge package in his hand.

"What is this?"

"The official uniform that was rushed out. ”

“...... So sloppy, what about the rest?"

"It's gone. ”

Duan Qiushui was choked, and only after a while did he say, "Childe, are you messing around in the court?" ”

"I haven't started mixing in the court yet. Xu Yun glanced at her deeply, and avenged Duan Qiushui's previous glare at him - he was still a little cautious.

Xu Yunshen found a direction, coughed twice, and said, "Okay, hurry up and find a boat to hurry, and the request is to arrive before March 7." ”

Duan Qiushui silently followed behind him.

The pier of Tianxin Lake is parked with a row of boats as always.

Fishing boats, cargo ships, pleasure boats, and ships all have special areas for mooring.

Xu Yunshen took Duan Qiushui to the area where the ship was transported.

A ship is a vessel that is specifically responsible for carrying passengers to and from each other, and charges are based on two scales: speed and comfort.

Although it didn't snow, the sky was always gray, and Tianxin Lake became obscure.

Xu Yunshen found the black-hearted intermediary, finalized a ship, and then received the location of the ship by a special person.

Duan Qiushui, who witnessed all this, said silently: The work of this intermediary is similar to that of my mother (bustard......

"Come to life!" the leader kicked the boat, and the whole boat was kicked violently, and there were splashes and ripples on both sides.

There was a scolding sound from the boat, and then an unkempt head poked out of the deck and looked at Xu Yunshen and the others.

"Two?"

"Yes, to the Far North. ”

"It's old and simple. ”

The men on board hurriedly put on their brown coats and opened the door on the side of the ship, which led to the cabin.

The man stood on the shore and said with a smile: "Guest officer, come, please come here." ”

Xu Yunshen walked in, but Duan Qiushui was slightly obstructed, and the package was too big and stuck.

The one who led the way had already walked by, leaving only the man who drove the boat.

He helped press the package in, but the tentacles were cold and the sound of metal colliding, and his heart suddenly tightened, let go of his hand, and stood aside to secretly look at Duan Qiushui.

"It's actually a girl......" He couldn't help but say when he saw Duan Qiushui's bulging chest and thin waist.

Duan Qiushui turned around, but she didn't hear clearly, because the person's voice was too quiet.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, guest officer, please go inside, and you can sail after you are in place." He hurriedly waved his hand.

Duan Qiushui worked hard for a long time, and it took a long time to squeeze the package in.

After entering, there is a crowded cabin, and two steps are a ladder to climb up, which naturally consumes a while of strength from Duan Qiushui.

Climb the ladder to the deck, and directly behind it is where the guests live.

The slightly swaying ship made Xu Yunshen feel a little nostalgic.

He asked curiously, "You are the only one to drive this boat?" The boat I was on before requires many people to divide and cooperate. ”

"Naturally, I still have two deputies, and I guess I'm still sleeping. There was a secret door in the cabin below, and behind it was where we slept and ate. The captain pointed to his feet and said with a look of hatred for iron but not steel, "I guess I drank too much yesterday, and the big cucumber didn't wake them up." ”

"Big cucumber, the one who showed me the way?" Xu Yunshen and Duan Qiushui looked at each other and smiled.

The captain also laughed, but he laughed a little obscenely, and said, "Guest officer, don't look at others as tall and big, but you can be exquisite." I don't know where it came from, but I like to eat cucumbers and use cucumbers. I just want to be white one day, and then a little girl can like him. But it's not for me to say, who has been exposed to the wind and sun on this lake, how can there be a chance to turn white. ”

"I recently heard that because the cucumber on the market is out of stock, the big cucumber has been in a hurry for a while. Okay, don't mention him, the guest officer is going this way, it's the place to live. ”

Directly facing the deck is a small two-story building in the shape of a bun, and when you open the door, there is a passage, and there are several rooms.

"How many rooms do the two of them live in?Oh, look at my brain, one is right?" The captain was about to lead them to the two-person room, but Xu Yunshen grabbed his arm.

Xu Yunshen shook his head and said, "Two single rooms are enough." ”

"I'm sorry, look at me, I said the wrong thing again. The captain hurriedly bowed.

Xu Yunshen waved his hand and didn't say anything.

Duan Qiushui has also been silent.

The room is open, lighting and hygiene, as well as aesthetically looking okay.

The Clippers can be considered superior to have this condition.

Duan Qiushui put down the package and took off a large coat.

There was no charcoal fire in the room, although it was not very cold, but it was not very warm either, so she did not take off her regular clothes.

Xu Yunshen's room was next door, and seeing that she was still wrapped in clothes, he called the captain and said:

"Burn her coals, and don't break it. ”

At first, the captain resolutely refused on the grounds of safety, but when Xu Yunshen increased the price to one hundred taels, he couldn't hold on.

The captain went to the shore to buy a large number of coals and stuffed them into Duan Qiushui's room.

Because of the difference between men and women, sometimes it was inconvenient for the captain and others to enter her room. So the captain sent his deputy to make small pieces of larger coals, and gave Duan Qiushui a delicate clip.

When he was done, he winked at her: "Girl, if you still need to mention it as soon as possible, you will set sail in an hour." ”

"No need. Duan Qiushui shook his head.

After closing the door, she bit her teeth lightly, and her eyes were resentful.

The days on the ship were monotonous, and there was no entertainment.

Duan Qiushui immersed himself in practice, and Xu Yunshen was in a daze all day long.

The boat was very fast, and it landed smoothly in three days.

"A new type of ship is fast. Xu Yunshen couldn't help but look back and sigh after getting off the boat.

This kind of fast ship transportation is driven by repair, unlike the traditional wind or paddling.

Naturally, it is also a convenient product of Gewuyuan.

When he arrived at the shore, Xu Yunshen was a little confused, not knowing where he should go.

It was still Duan Qiushui who pulled him and pointed in one direction, there was a city.

It seems that it is still useful to take autumn water with it. Xu Yun nodded with satisfaction.

After walking in, Xu Yunshen found that this city was different from ordinary cities (although he had seen a few), but it was somewhat similar to Chang'an.

One side of it is facing the lake, and there is no city wall.

At the gate of the city hangs a wooden sign of "Shuzhou Mansion".

"Why didn't the ships just now dock directly at the port of Shuzhou Mansion?" Xu Yunshen had sharp eyes, and he had already seen many ships coming in and out of the side of Shuzhou Mansion.

After paying the entrance fee, I quickly got the answer.

There are taxes to be paid when you dock the shore!

In other words, the clipper did not hesitate to take risks in order to evade taxes.

It even stopped not far from the city, which was really arrogant.

After staying in Chang'an for a long time and getting used to it, he suddenly came to this Shuzhou Mansion, and Xu Yunshen had a huge sense of disparity.

There are obvious differences in population density, architectural style, and the spirit of the people.

Maybe Datang can only supply one Chang'an......

Xu Yunshen also saw the beggar, huddling on the side of the street to keep warm, there was no hope on his dirty face, and he put a broken bowl in front of him. And some of the stores are closed, and now it's daylight, so it stands to reason that they should be open to welcome customers. However, the dust accumulated on the signboard indicates that it is unlikely to open the door.

Although this city is much richer than the first city Xu Yunshen saw at the beginning, it is full of the smell of depression.

Such a scene is not seen in Chang'an.

"Obviously, I think there is a lot of traffic here, and it stands to reason that it should be quite rich. Why don't you support the industry and let the beggars have something to do?" Xu Yunshen made a puzzled voice.

A person who was dressed fairly well next to him sneered and said, "Where did you come from, a rich son, to make such a 'why don't you eat minced meat' words? Would you change you?"

"Will ......"

"Farewell, when I didn't say. ”

After the man left, Duan Qiushui chuckled and said, "Childe, the family in this place is still your own family...... However, it is far less righteous than Gongzi, who is willing to give. ”

"You don't have to step on one hand, it's just that the position is different, so the actions are different. Xu Yunshen smiled and said humbly.

Duan Qiushui blinked, but did not respond.
