Chapter 71 Between the Canal and the Huai River

The channel between the Grand Canal and the Huai River is very wide, and the boat is also smooth, but it is against the current, so it is not very fast, but in the rainy season, the boat is much faster and safer than the horse. From this section, it seems that the river has passed unhappily, so the rowing and rocking of the oar, this journey is not very long. From the beginning of entering the Huai River, it is estimated that it will be much more difficult, Wang Shan made two preparations at the beginning, if it is really not possible, change horses, and walk along the mountain to Luoyang on land. The Liu family of Jiangnan Wulin has given up the pursuit. From this point of view, they are undoubtedly in great benefit. After all, the effect of a rich person chasing a person and a person without money chasing a person is greatly reduced. After going from Jinling to the Huai River, it is basically mountainous and hilly, and there are not many people with a lot of wealth, and there is not a lot of trouble.

The night was spent safely, in the morning, Lao Liu was about to leave, in a small dock, the boat stopped, Wang Shan and Lao Liu slowly walked down, Lao Liu had already prepared the horses, after riding the horse, Lao Liu hugged his fists and said: "I will wait for you in Zhuo County until August 8th." After saying that, he patted the horse and rode away. didn't wait for Wang Shan to answer.

Wang Shan looked at Lao Liu, who rode away, his eyes were a little moist, but his eyes became resolute, and he changed his depressed appearance in the past.

Xiao Ruoshui and the princess, Zhao Cheng had already gotten up, and looking at the two of them, they also had a sour look in their hearts. The princess looked at the direction of Lao Liu riding away while standing on the bow of the boat, although he couldn't see Lao Liu's back, but he still stared at the direction of departure and didn't want to withdraw his gaze, so he kept watching.

The princess turned around and said to Zhao Cheng and Xiao Ruoshui, "We will be separated sooner or later, right?"

Xiao Ruoshui said with a smile: "Separation is for a better reunion, and separation and union are also the general trend of the world." ”

Zhao Cheng looked at the surging river: "When the great river goes east, the world will be divided and united, which is also the general trend, but every separation is actually the starting point of the next reunion, and it is also for a better reunion." ”

The princess looked at the two, in fact, her heart was blocked, she didn't care about the hardship of the journey at all, but she couldn't stand the taste of separation, and she felt it. After listening to what the two of them said, she vaguely felt a little problem, she lowered her head and thought for a long time, before she realized that it was the distance, and she had actually always had a door between them, which she couldn't open or push away. This gate is actually the status between them, a gap between different statuses.

The princess did not speak, she bowed her head and returned to the cabin, lay down on the bed, opened the window, and looked at the surging river in contemplation.

It was not windy tonight, and the night was very good, but from south to north, many people did not rest, they were constantly thinking and calculating. It is estimated that the incense that can sleep is Lao Liu.

In the capital, in the palace of King Xiao, in the chess room, under the dim light.

King Xiao had been pondering for a long time, and Murong Yan had been sitting beside him and looking at him silently. There was already a little fatigue on the white face, but the bright eyes were still blinking at King Xiao. Wen Yuetian is very calm, not panicked at all, night is day for him, and indeed a person who is stargazing is the best place for him to display his talents.

He looked up at the sky, and the sky was already starry, flickering and dazzling, like jewels inlaid in the dark night sky.

He didn't bother King Xiao either, it is indeed difficult for a person to make up his mind, especially when he is decided.

King Xiao picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, coughed twice, and spoke. "Let Mr. Wen take my token to Jiangnan for a trip, the people in Jiangnan still have to be encircled, without their financial support, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do big things, the two people of the Shadow Jinling Helm are taken over by the people of the Shanyang Helm, and the punishment fee is honest to go to Anhui Fuyang Helm as a deputy, Sister Hong will not move for the time being, and she will be a deputy on the spot by half a level. ”

"Inform all the rudders of the Shadow, only track the whereabouts of the princess, and do not act. The intelligence is also to be sold a day ago, giving a little time to the people who protect the princess. said to the outside that he was not allowed to participate in the affairs of the princess. ”

"I will go to Luoyang in half of the people of Tianlai Villa, and wait for Mr. Wen to follow Mr. Wen's arrangement after Jinling returns. Xiaoyan, tell your master tomorrow. ”

"When he arrives in Luoyang, it is estimated that if King Yan fights with the person who escorted the princess, if he is escaped, he will take the opportunity to chase back to the capital, and then it may be the beginning of a duel. After all this time, it's time to wrap it up. King Xiao said plainly. There seemed to be infinite sadness in the words.

Murong Yan looked at King Xiao sympathetically, grabbed his hand and said, "Lord Wang, you don't have to think too much, everything is to protect yourself, just let it pass like flowing water, it will slowly fade away after a long time." ”

Wen Yuetian looked at King Xiao, and he was also a little sympathetic in his heart, but at the moment of your life and death, the kindness of a woman is indeed unacceptable.

The lights dimmed, the night seemed to be darker, the people were gone, and the chess game was still faintly placed there in the clear light of the moonlight.

Fengling crossing, to the last ferry of the Yellow River, King Yan has been wandering on the boat after listening to the emperor's order to move forward quickly. The sound of "pop pa pa" came, a clean white pigeon flew in, Yan Wang stretched out his hand, the pigeon fell on his hand obediently, he opened the letter tied to the pigeon's leg, and the pigeon flew away with a hand.

He unfolded it and looked at it closely. After reading it, he paced in the room for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Inform me to go down and set off overnight, and you are not allowed to stay until Luoyang, and officials along the way are not allowed to visit on the boat." ”

After a mess, the flotilla was gone, leaving behind a bunch of officials on the shore, still a little drunk and unconscious, watching the flotilla disappear like the wind for some reason.

What the letter said, only King Yan knew what he said, but looking at his situation, he would not say it anyway, and he could only order the fleet to Luoyang. Quickly reach Luoyang.

The night of Jinling seems to be always with the wine and beauty, singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of laughter have always been together.

At this moment, Sister Hong and Cui Laoshi couldn't laugh, because they had already received a notice to wait in Jinling for arrangements, and they were not allowed to go out during this period, and they stayed at home. The two of them are busy at the moment, they are about to hand over, the account has not been settled, and the fake account is never dared to do, who dares to joke with their own heads. The two of them know the rules of the Dao organization. I was also troubled by another thing in my heart, I don't know what punishment the Lu Dao organization will give, hey, the first rudder of Jiangnan is because of a little greed, and I don't know what punishment to receive as a result. I was nervous and uneasy, and I didn't know until the person who broke the rudder in Shanyang came. The two of them only had to do a good job of handover at this time, so that they could think of reducing the punishment, the two glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said at the same time: "Hurry up and finish it." "It is true that the taste of waiting is not pleasant, especially the taste of waiting for punishment.
