Chapter 167 Two or three things on the boat (please ask for various tickets)
The white sails bulged, and the water waves broke through. After May, the sunlight shone on the deck was a little warm. On both sides of the river bank were low and undulating mountains, and millions of leaves were swept in the wind. Occasionally, a few white storks brushed across the water and soared upwards. Take this wind to the sky and sink into the woods.
On the deck, Xifu and Linglong were playing games. Sometimes they lay on the side of the boat and shouted loudly at the water in a trumpet-shaped manner. The guards around them were nervously approaching the past, fearing that the wife and the eldest lady would fall into the river accidentally.
Through the open paper window, Bai Ning held the teacup in his hand and looked at the view from one big and one small on the deck. After a while, his eyes had not turned back, and he spoke to the people beside him.
"What are you worried about? You don't like that Tu Baisui..."
Cao Shaoqin, who was also holding a teacup, took a sip, put it down, sat upright, nodded without answering directly, "Why did the Lord Supervisor want such a person to be the abbot of the Six Gates? The subordinates really don't think much of him. He just has a body but is a person without backbone."
Put the teacup gently down.
Bai Ning stood up and stood in front of the window and looked at the two figures running wild on the deck. "Don't underestimate Tu Baisui. Although he is big and sturdy, he has a lot of mind and good martial arts skills. He can kneel down on the spot and spend money to buy his life. Many people just can't do this, and they are very decisive... Besides, what does this governor want to do with a backbone? Dongchang only needs to raise evil dogs."
"It's okay for this person to make a fortune in Yangzhou City. There are so many such people in the world, but what they can do is just people who are clear-headed and dare to give them the precious treasures they have obtained to make good friends at any time. In these two points, I'm afraid you and me are both insufficient. Liushemen currently needs such a person to be the abbot. After it is truly stable, we will discuss other things. As of now, the candidates for the general captain of Liushemen and the two deputy captains have been finalized."
"..." Cao Shaoqin frowned, thought for a while, then nodded, "Two deputy captains... the supervisor refers to Luo Qi of the Chongjian Sect and Gu Mi, the captain of the Yangzhou Prefecture. Luo Qi is okay, but judging from the information Tu Baisui got before, Gu Mi is very arrogant, and he is very skilled in martial arts, he is afraid that he will be worried about his reputation and will not enter the Six Gates."
Bai Ning curled his lips and smiled, "He will join. People like him will be tired of staying in the same place. What's more, the land of a state is much smaller after all."
He turned around and continued, "The greater the ability of a person, the greater the mind. How can he not be content with the status quo? Unless he has other plans, such as those who are highly self-supervised are hiding among the people, just learning Jiang Ziya. It would be fine if you learn well, but if you don't learn well, you will be seeking fame and reputation."
"…. So he will come, maybe in Hangzhou…. Or maybe just after we go to land, if a person wants to make achievements, he will naturally try his best to show it to others, such as Yu Qianhu before that was like this."
On the deck, Linglong was running, and the silly girl Xifu was chasing her. She accidentally fell down. Linglong hurriedly ran over to help her, but was caught by the other side.
"Godmother...you're cheating."
"…he…” Xifu couldn't help laughing, and then slaps the little girl, "… Mom is just a slut... It's itchy you..."
Linglong broke free and ran away quickly, Xifu chased after him again...
In the cabin, Cao Shaoqin continued to say something, "When it comes to Yu Qianhu, is it wrong for the Supervisor to leave him in the palace this time? If he was too close to Wei Jinzhong... it would be bad for us."
A white stork flew down from the branches of the river bank and grabbed a small fish in the river.
"I know that you have some disagreement with Yu Qianhu..."
Bai Ning knocked his finger and said, "... But in Liangshan, I have greeted you. It is not easy for us to have this identity. Don't have to fight in the internal conflict. As for his stay in the palace, it was my decision. First, the abbot of Hai Dafu was relatively familiar and loyal to his duties. Second, Yu Huatian maintained the affairs in the palace and Yan Qing stabilized the things outside the palace. These were arranged before. Yu Huatian was quite smart. Although he was not good at speaking, he could see things clearly. He was close to Wei Jinzhong. Of course, it was possible, but he really wanted to mix them together. I was afraid he would not."
"In fact, the biggest burden on the East Factory is not Wei Jinzhong or those civil officials, but the income and expenses. If you don't take charge of the company, you don't know how expensive the food and rice are."
Bai Ning sighed and rubbed his temples, thinking that it was also a headache for this matter.
Although the dividends received by most merchants from the East Factory, the East Bank had to be paid by Bianliang City and the surrounding prefectures and counties, if they really wanted to operate, the money was barely enough to maintain. Most of them had to be invested in the north, and the money invested in was shameful.
………….
The two of them talked for a while.
A carrier pigeon stood on the ship with its wings flapping. After being taken by the man, he hurriedly sent it to Bai Ning. He looked at the handwriting on it with a expressionless face.
Just simply put it: "Fang La has entered Hangzhou."
Cao Shaoqin's face changed slightly. After reading the note, he whispered: "Commander Yang is probably a little difficult."
"It's okay. When I came to Hangzhou before, the secret passage was prepared for him." Bai Ning walked out of the cabin and went to the bow of the ship and looked at the several light and small and medium-sized boats leading the way. "We must speed up. After passing Jiangning Mansion, we have to take the land route. Those who go to Hangzhou City should leave their wife and Linglong in Jiangning first. Otherwise, once there is a fight, there will be chaos and it will be difficult to take care of."
There was a lot of contact with the Shuanglong Gang, which occupied the waters of Jiangning Prefecture, and there was no obstacle to the journey. After arriving in Jiangning Prefecture, Xifu and Xiao Linglong were placed in the government office, and dozens of Jinyiwei and Fanzi guards were also arranged. I guess there was no problem.
"Linglong wants to protect his godmother, do you know?" Bai Ning put the dagger that had killed Fang Jie before in Linglong's hand. "This time, my godfather will bring Linglong's enemy and leave it to you to deal with it."
"Um."
Xiao Linglong nodded with her braid and hugged the dagger in her arms, "Linglong will protect her godmother. If anyone bullies her godmother, Linglong will dig out his heart."
"Linglong... Mom doesn't allow you to say...this thing... the girl should look like a girl..."
This time, Xifu did not say anything to let Bai Ning stay or take her with her. She just said simply: "…My husband…be careful about safety…I can’t beat the bad guy…I must remember…Run…Xifu…I will wait for my husband to come back here.”
Although it is so simple, the expression of chasing blessing is pitiful.
“…My husband knows.”
Bai Ning turned around and the vast team set off.
The ship drove away again and was about to dock on the other side of the shore to give Fang La a big gift.
