Perhaps it was because after accompanying Gu Ping across the river this time, there were too many things, some pains and some luck, so there were too many sadness and surprises pouring towards me, making me feel at a loss. But when I heard Pei Yuanxiu say "Go back", my heart still twitched slightly.

go back……

Over the years, there is no place that makes me think of the word "return", as if no matter where I go, no matter how long I stay, I will be unfamiliar.

A home I once had, where I could "go back" was not on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

but--

I looked up at Pei Yuanxiu, with a gentle smile on his face and said, "You won't be addicted to staying here, are you? Haha, although this place is good, but it is not suitable for you to recuperate. We still have to go back. If you like this, I can come with you again in the future. Don't you want to see Li'er earlier?"

Li'er, this name is like my curse.

No matter how big the matter is, no matter how many hidden worries I have in my heart, it is not as important as seeing Li'er.

I thought about it for a while, but nodded gently.

No matter what, I'll just see Li'er first, and then talk about it.

.

However, early the next morning, I had finished washing up. Because I was going out today, I was afraid that the wind would be strong outside, so the servant brought me a veil, which was more reliable than just covering a thin layer of white veil on my face. I took it and put it on the table, and heard Pei Yuanxiu knock on the open door gently and walk in.

He smiled and said, "Get up so early."

I stood up: "Young Master, I'm afraid the boat will leave early."

"It's okay, we've used breakfast, and the time is almost done." After saying that, he waved his hand, and immediately a few maids came in. Just as they were about to prepare the meal, a servant came in outside quickly. When he saw Pei Yuanxiu, he knelt down: "Young Master."

"What's the matter?"

"There was fog on the river today, and the wind was very strong. There was a section of water where the waves were very fast, so it was not suitable to take a boat to cross the river."

When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat, but after thinking about it, I didn't say anything, but just looked at Pei Yuanxiu.

In fact, the Yangtze River is very wide, and the water conditions are completely different. In the past, the waterway that Guanyen crossed the river was relatively smooth, and there were no deep valleys at the bottom of the river, so it was not easy to form a whirlpool torrent. However, since Pei Yuanxiu blocked the communication on the river, the waterway that Guanyen used was only used for warships crossing the river. I have traveled back and forth twice in the past few days, and they were another water area where the water flow was relatively turbulent and took more time.

What the person just said was the situation in that area of ​​water.

I turned around and looked out the window. It was not a gloomy weather outside. If you cross the river through a normal channel in such weather, there should be no big problem.

Thinking of this, I looked at Pei Yuanxiu again, but he still didn't say anything, just asked the servant to serve the meal.

His diet was relatively light, but he seemed to take care of me, and the people in the kitchen were not careless. The exquisite side dishes were set up on a large table. I had just sat down and a bowl of millet porridge that had been cooked very soft was delivered to my hands.

He said softly: "You eat this to nourish your stomach."

I nodded and thanked me, then took it and took a sip with a spoon. I drank the warm porridge, making my stomach warm and very comfortable. He also brought a bowl and drank slowly. Only the light sounds of the bowls and chopsticks were left on the table, and for a moment, the surroundings became quiet.

After a while, a bowl of porridge was already in full swing. I was about to put down the bowls and chopsticks, and reached out with one hand to take away the empty bowl. Pei Yuanxiu served me half a bowl: "Drink a little more."

I thought about it and said, "I drink too much, I'm afraid I'll be dizzy when I take a boat."

He glanced at me, was silent for a while, and then smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's take a break and get on the boat."

"good."

I smiled and nodded, took the bowl obediently, and drank the half bowl of porridge.

After breakfast, Pei Yuanxiu explained a few words and went out. I had nothing to do when I stayed in another restaurant. I felt bored. Fortunately, Yao Lao came over and took my pulse and looked at my complexion, and said with a smile: "No, not bad."

I carefully touched the swollen face with the back of my hand and said with a smile: "I just hope Li'er can heal before coming back. She is so young, it's the first time I have seen me, my mother. I don't want to give her such a bad impression."

"Then you have to be careful." Yao Lao said while packing his medicine bag: "Don't be so cruel to yourself, think more about yourself and your children."

I listened and seemed to think that he had a sound outside of his words. He wanted to ask, but as soon as he thought about it, he stopped asking.

At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu walked in and said, "We are ready, let's go."

.

Along the way, the carriage was driving slowly, and as the body swayed, the curtains next to it were shaking.

Gu Ping kept looking outside.

He was still very calm. Along the way, except for me asking him a few words, he answered, and there was no more words. I remembered that when we first met, his straightforward and impulsive voice was loud, but now, there was only a quietness, which made me feel a little sad.

Fortunately, not long after, I heard the gurgling sound of water coming from the front.

When the carriage stopped, we got off the carriage and immediately saw the vast river surface in front of us. The smoke was vast and the wind was surging. The shore embankment stirred up the water splashes of more than one person, spreading in the air with the wind. I wore a curtain on my head and a fine white veil hanging from all sides, covering the water droplets in the air. Gu Ping was not so lucky. He hurriedly reached out to touch his face, and it was already a ****.

I took out a handkerchief from my sleeve and handed it to him carefully.

Gu Ping looked at me, thanked me in a low voice, took it and wiped his face. At this time, Pei Yuanxiu also walked to me, held my shoulder and said, "You should be careful when you wear a hat."

I nodded: "I understand."

This is the wharf used by the official. Unlike the simple ferry crossing the river before, the embankment here is very strong. I think it was a place where people and traffic gatherings came and went, but now it seems particularly quiet. Only a few of us are standing on the wharf. On the surface of the river, a huge black shadow penetrated the mist and slowly approached us. Until we reached us, we saw a tall ship.

This is the boat that Pei Yuanxiu asked them to cross the river.

I followed them on the boat, and the layout was very comfortable. Pei Yuanxiu insisted that I go back to the warehouse to rest, saying that I had just detoxified the poison, and the fatigue of the boat was already very harmful to my vitality, so I should have more rest. I couldn't, so I could only listen to him and sat in the warehouse for a while.

However, I have been sleeping for too long these days, especially when I am still worried about the south bank of the Yangtze River. I can't calm down even if I rest. When I listened to the sound of setting sail outside, I put on the veils with layers of white gauze hanging around me and walked out carefully.

There were not many people on the plywood, only a few servants were busy back and forth. When they saw me, they all came to greet me. I waved my hands and asked them to go there without anyone to serve them. I held the railing alone and looked at the scenery ahead.

The river is very wide, and when such a big boat goes into the water, it seems like a piece of floating duckweed in the turbulent waves. People stand on the top, as if they are safe, but in fact, such safety is like a fog. What can be left behind after the storm of wind and waves?

The boat was not fast, so I turned around slowly. After driving for a long time, I finally arrived at the middle of the river. The wind became more and more anxious, and the mist filled the air was blowing away. I vaguely saw the huge shadow in front through the layers of white veil around the curtain.

That is the naval camp constructed on the south bank!

I carefully approached the bow of the boat a few steps, but in fact I couldn't get me closer to the camp, but the wind and mist dissipated, and the boat was slowly sailing towards the shore, and I could already see the outline of the entire camp.

As soon as I saw it clearly, I couldn't help but gasp.

I have seen many military defense formations in my life, but there are many exquisite formations and grand momentums. The water camp in front of me is the best. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, looking forward and backward, taking, retreating and defending, all of which are unstable, with doors in and out, and moving forward and retreating. I carefully lifted up a piece of white gauze on the brim of the hat and stared at the front. Although most of it was hidden in the mist, I could vaguely see the two majestic gates in the north of the water camp, and the warships were passing through unimpededly, like signs; the camp was listed as a city wall, and there were several village gates to the south, with countless small boats lying in an orderly manner.

I subconsciously grabbed the wooden railing.

Such a beautifully arranged camp only takes a long time to layout. The wisdom of many people, combined with construction and control, is not a simple process.

No wonder Shin Gongyi was so frustrated at the beginning.

The ship was not moving very fast, but along the river, it was still approaching the shore ahead quickly. The closer it was, the clearer it could be seen. Countless soldiers and generals in the camp were still practicing, and they could vaguely hear the shouts inside, and they were powerful.

This is obviously not an ordinary defensive camp.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt heavy, and the other hand subconsciously took something out of my arms.

It was the brocade bag that Qinghan gave me before leaving the capital.

Although he has opened it countless times and has seen it countless times, I think he actually wanted me to open it at this time, and there were not many things inside, just a piece of white silk, which was similar to the three tips that Fu Badai gave me when he went to Juma River Valley to hunt in spring, but this time it was not a corresponding plan.

The characters on the white silk are elegant and elegant. I could recognize them at a glance as Fu Badai's handwriting. Qinghan's words are not bad, but he became a monk halfway through the journey. No matter how good his words are, he is just a regular person. No matter how hard he has his own character, he is, but Fu Badai's words are like his people. Even if he is blind, he can still see some truth behind the fog through thousands of mountains and rivers, and see clearly some of the truth behind the fog.
