Chapter 76 The First Lady Is Not Vicious 17
Wushuang casually took the pancake Qinglu handed over, opened his mouth and took a bite, but kept his eyes on the map.

Qinglu sat next to Wushuang, watching Wushuang eating with one heart and two minds, feeling a little admirable in his heart.

A lady in the boudoir who has never experienced hardship, now she is in a hurry like the rough men like them, and her food is poor, but she does not cry out.

Qinglu remembered the last time he traveled with the imperial envoy, he should have been in a hurry but had to take a carriage.

He refused to make do with food and drink, and had to stay in a hotel at night.

She is really more delicate than Wu Shuang and can't bear hardships.

But seeing Wushuang's haggardness visible to the naked eye, Qing Lu was also a little worried.

Not complaining about hardships or being afraid of suffering is a character decision, but this does not mean that the body can bear hardships.

If the body that has never experienced hardship is suddenly overworked, it is easy to get sick.

So Qinglu thought for a while, and said to Wushuang: "My lord, there is a small town twenty miles ahead from here.

Let's rest in the town for a day. My lord's body may not be able to take it in such a hurry. "

Wushuang was still thinking about the map, and responded casually to Qing Lu's words: "You can do what you see."

According to the map, it will enter the mountainous area about a hundred miles ahead.

At that time, the official road was narrow and there were many mountains and forests on both sides, among which there were many places suitable for ambush.

A thousand imperial guards is a lot, but if the opponent is well-trained and sends many people, it is not impossible to eat these 1000 people.

As long as the responsibility is shifted to bandits and robbers, even if the court pursues it, it will probably only catch some scapegoats and abandoned children.

It is best not to take these mountain roads, but to take a detour, which will take at least six or seven days longer.

Wushuang didn't really want to take a detour, the longer the trip was delayed, the more accidents would happen.

Wushuang's eyes fell on a nearby waterway.

This waterway is very wide, and it can be reached directly without detours, and the most important thing is to flow along the way.

If you walk by water, you can cover the journey in three days in less than one day.

So Wushuang directly made a decision, pointed to the waterway on the map, and said to Qing Lu beside him: "Let's change to the waterway next."

Qinglu also looked at the map and said: "The mountain road ahead is dangerous, but the waterway may not be safe either.

The imperial guards are good at land battles. If they enter the water, their combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.

If the opponent comes from a water player, I'm afraid they will suffer. "

Wushuang naturally had a complete plan for this.

"Don't worry about that, I know Xu Yuanqian, the commander-in-chief stationed here, and he trains the navy.

He was taught by my grandfather. He is upright and reliable.

He trained his soldiers well, and his soldiers were brave. He once fought Japanese pirates and won every time.

I can use the gold medal to call him to keep us safe, and with him, no matter who comes, it will be hard to please. "

Xu Yuanqian is a noble son from a poor family, he was born in an ordinary peasant family.

Because of his bravery in battle, he was favored by Wushuang's grandfather Yuan Shou and promoted to a soldier.

See also that Xu Yuanqian is not only brave, but also has some small strategies.

Yuan Shou became interested in talents, so he taught Xu Yuanqian his martial arts and military strategy.

Although Xu Yuanqian and Yuan Shou did not have the name of master and apprentice, they had the reality of master and apprentice.

Although Xu Yuanqian later left Yuan Shou and joined the Navy, his connection with the Yuan family is still close.

Xu Yuanqian has the same respect and closeness to Yuan Shou as he does to his father.

With this relationship, Xu Yuanqian's protection is absolutely reliable.

After Wushuang sent people to pass the news, Xu Yuanqian quickly prepared the boat for the journey.

Not only that, he also personally led the troops, preparing to escort Wushuang all the way.

Xu Yuanqian is in his thirties, looks very gentle, looks more like a civil servant than a general.

Seeing Wushuang, Xu Yuanqian was very happy and asked her with a smile.

"I'm an official in another place, and I can't go to the capital once in a few years. I don't know how the teacher is? Are you still in good health?"

Although Yuan Shou did not accept Xu Yuanqian as an apprentice, Xu Yuanqian always called Yuan Shou his teacher, expressing respect and closeness.

Wushuang said: "Thank you Uncle Xu for your concern, my grandfather is in good health and can eat several bowls of rice for one meal.

He can also ride a horse to practice guns, often go hunting, and even hunted a black bear by himself a few years ago. "

Xu Yuanqian was very pleased, and said: "Teacher's body is still so strong, so I feel relieved.

Don't worry, Uncle Xu will personally escort you this time and will ensure that you arrive safely. "

Wushuang saluted immediately and said, "So, thank you Uncle Xu."

Xu Yuanqian smiled heartily and said: "They are all from my own family, so you don't need to be so polite.

But I didn't expect you, niece, to be an imperial envoy because of your ability.

As expected of the teacher's granddaughter, she did not embarrass the teacher by going out of the door. "

Inside the words, Xu Yuanqian seemed to treat Wushuang as Yuan Shou's granddaughter.

Wushuang directly became the daughter of the Yuan family, leaving her father Bai Wei aside.

Wushuang didn't correct her, she chatted with Xu Yuanqian, said goodbye and went back to the cabin.

What Xu Yuanqian used this time was all warships, and the warships full of officers and soldiers lined up on the periphery.

Surround Wushuang's ship in the middle.

The deck was full of soldiers in armor and holding spears.

They were all soldiers who had seen blood on the battlefield. A group of people stood there, facing a fierce and evil spirit, and the water bandits dared not provoke them at all.

The reeds shook slightly in the distance, and a small boat left quietly.

Soon, the boat entered a more lush reed bush.

There is a small island in the reeds, and the island is full of people at the moment.

A man with a beard is looking anxiously ahead.

Seeing the boat, the bearded man asked eagerly, "How's the situation? Can we do it?"

The man on the boat jumped off and shook his head at the bearded man on the island.

With a heavy expression, he said: "No, the idea is tricky, and the officers and soldiers of Mr. Xu are in charge.

Our equipment is not good, and there are few people. Mr. Xu has been on the battlefield, and his soldiers are very fierce.

We are just begging for a living on the water, we have never fought a decent battle at all, and we will definitely lose against Xu Zongbing. "

The bearded man frowned tightly, and said a little worriedly: "What should I do?
The Patriarch is pressing hard, if we can't stop the imperial envoy, we will end badly. "

The man who got off the boat said harshly: "If you can't keep everyone, then you have to use another trick. Let's..."

Before the man could finish his sentence, a long arrow flew through his throat from nowhere.

The man grunted a few times, his eyes widened and he threw his head back into the water.

The blood gushing out of the throat instantly turned a small area of ​​water red.

As the man fell, countless long arrows flew from all directions.

Facing the sudden attack, the crowd standing densely on the island couldn't dodge it at all.

The bearded man bravely swung his knife and slashed away the long arrows that came at him.

I didn't know when I found that there were many more boats around.
