No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 744: Peeping under the skirt, seeing flowers in the fog [asking for monthly tickets! ]

At Xunyang Ferry Wharf, outside a noble carriage.

A sturdy man in a green robe with a grim face came quickly with several Xianbei guards, stopped in front of the carriage, and saluted with their fists clasped.

The green-robed burly man who was leading the group asked respectfully.

The green-robed sturdy man and the Xianbei guards seemed to be wearing armor under their robes. Just after they braked, the swords on their waists collided with their armor, making a crisp iron sound.

There was silence in the shaft for a while.

Immediately, Wei Anhui's gentle voice came from inside:
"I didn't see him. Um, are you looking for him?"

The green-robed sturdy man frowned slightly, did not answer her question, and asked patiently:

"But someone just saw him running over here, riding a fast horse, and got into the crowd at the dock, running towards this side... Princess, did Li Fusu really not come to see you?"

"No. Well, why did he come to see me?"

The green-robed burly man and the guards seemed a little confused when they heard the princess' tone.

Inside the carriage, Wei Anhui sat upright in a long skirt that trailed on the ground. She lowered her head, carefully adjusted the wide hem of her skirt, and continued:
"I'm waiting for the boat. When are we going to leave? Oh, where's Uncle Wu?"

The green-robed sturdy man stared at the noble carriage with frowns and shook his head:
"Master Wu will be here soon. On the way to the ferry, he specifically ordered me to protect the princess. My name is Wei Jin. Princess, if you have any questions, you can talk to me without worry. Although I was born in the Wei Palace, the Wei Palace and the Liang Palace have always been one family. There is no need for any estrangement between them."

"I don't have much to say, but waiting is getting a little boring. Okay, I see. You've worked hard. I'll tell my father when I get back and ask for a reward. You can leave first. I'm tired. I'll close my eyes for a while."

Wei Anhui politely drove the man away.

But after she said this, she waited for a while, and there was still silence outside, no sound of footsteps or iron colliding.

The green-robed burly man and the Xianbei guards did not leave.

Wei Anhui's tone was slightly unhappy:
"Why, what else?"

Wei Jin kept his fists clasped and said in a serious tone:

"Your Highness, could you please open the curtain to get out of the carriage? Is that convenient?"

Wei Anhui shook his head slightly:
"inconvenient."

Wei Jin’s brows furrowed further.

Wei Anhui's tone became a little heavier, but it still sounded soft and weak without any offensive power:

"Are you doubting me?"

Wei Jin shook his head: "I don't dare, but someone saw it..."

"Shut up, get out of here! Who told you to surround me and scare the princess? Are you tired of living?"

Just when Wei Jin was halfway through his words, a stern rebuke suddenly came from behind him.

Wei Jin's body trembled, and before he could react and turn around, a square-faced man dressed in coachman's clothes walked by and walked quickly to the front of Wei Anhui's noble carriage, walking with a breeze.

"Uncle Wu."

Wei Anhui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the noise outside.

"Master Wu!"

Wei Jin and his servants clasped their fists in awe towards the square-faced man. An indescribable fear and reverence flashed in their eyes, as if they were very afraid of him.

In front of the noble carriage, Wei Wu ignored his men and respectfully clasped his fist towards Wei Anhui in the carriage:
"I'm sorry to disturb you, the people below are rude and ignorant. I'll take care of it. You can continue to rest. The boat will arrive soon."

Wei Anhui suddenly lifted the car curtain.

She seemed to inadvertently reveal the space inside the car where she was alone.

Wei Anhui nodded obediently:

"Yeah, it's okay. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wu."

Wei Wu bowed his head and clasped his fists. He paused, raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the girl in a long skirt who was smiling sweetly at him in the car.

Wei Jin and others at the back also glanced sideways into the shaft of the carriage, took a quick glance, then quickly lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Wei Wu stood with his hands behind his back, turned around silently, and glanced coldly at Wei Jin and the others. The latter all bowed their heads deeply as if they had made a mistake.

Wei Wu said calmly:
"If the two princes were here, you would all be killed. Get out of here. After the princess leaves on the boat, you will be flogged fifty times."

Wei Jin couldn't help but explain: "Your Highness, a secret sentry saw Li Fusu going to..."

He was stuck in his words because Wei Wu had already cast a calm and indifferent look at him. The green-robed sturdy man with a cold face shuddered and shut his mouth tightly.

Wei Wu was about to speak when Wei Anhui, who was boldly lifting the curtain to show himself to others in the carriage behind him, suddenly said:
"Uncle Wu, forget it. They are doing their duty. It's not easy for them. Forget the punishment."

Wei Wu pursed his lips and waved his hand:

"Go to the Municipal Trade Department and don't get in the way here. Also, why don't you thank the princess?"

"Yes, Lord Wu."

Wei Jin and other guards clasped their fists and accepted the order, then turned around and kowtowed in the direction of Wei Anhui:

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess!"

Wei Anhui turned his head away and didn't look at them.

She looked at Wei Wu at this time and found that Wei Wu was still wearing a low-key groom's uniform and a white cloth on his head, but there were eight tall unfamiliar maids following him, who were standing by and waiting.

Wei Anhui had never seen these maids in the mansion. They came with Wei Wu. There was also a freight carriage, which was parked not far from Wei Anhui's carriage.

I saw six or seven large boxes stacked on the cart, tied tightly with ropes. I didn't know what was loaded on them. Wei Wu was driving the cart himself. The eight maids were standing by the cart, supervising the guards unloading the goods.

Before Wei Jin left with his subordinates, he seemed to remember something and turned back to whisper:
"Master Wu, your boat is ready and parked at the dock. It can depart immediately for Shuangfengjian Ferry... The princess' boat will have to wait a little longer."

Wei Wu nodded calmly: "Yeah."

Wei Jin turned around to leave, and Wei Wu suddenly said:

"and many more."

Without waiting for Wei Jin to turn around, Wei Wu had already walked over. He waved to the eight tall maids beside him. They took out a stack of white cloth strips from their sleeves, held them in both hands, and handed them to Wei Wu.

Wei Wu grabbed the stack of white cloth strips and threw them into the arms of Wei Jin and the others:
"Put it on. It's a gift from the prince."

"Yes, Master Wu! Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!"

Wei Jin and others hurriedly put white cloth strips on their foreheads. Like Wei Wu, they were dressed in mourning clothes. They left quickly with either a sneer or a solemn look, and rushed to the Municipal Trade Bureau.

Wei Wu watched Wei Jin and others leave, then glanced at a ship docked at the ferry in the distance.

At this time, Xunyang Ferry was in chaos due to the martial law. There were small officials from the Municipal Trade Bureau who were trying to maintain order, scattered constables who were trying to break the martial law, and the Wei family's death squad who were deployed in the name of escorting Princess Anhui on board the ship.

Wei Wu ignored the crowd and when he turned around, his eyes met Wei Anhui's.

Wei Anhui smiled softly and asked with concern:

"Where are you going, Uncle Wu?"

Wei Wu seemed not to have heard and did not answer. He pointed at the eight tall maids:

"They will protect the princess all the way. When you arrive at Hukou County, after you worship Buddha, there will be a boat to pick you up and take you back to Beijing."

Wei Anhui asked:

"Uncle Wu, is there any danger in Hukou County?"

Wei Wu glanced at her and asked:

"Dangerous? Who told you that?"

Wei Anhui looked at Wei Wu's expression and shook his head gently: "It's okay, it's just that the captains came in to impose martial law, saying that there was a danger of pirates, and it seemed to be in Hukou County."

Wei Wu shook his head: "We have already sent people to pave the way ahead of time, so there is no danger, don't worry, Princess."

He glanced at Wei Anhui's quiet long skirt and the carriage decorations beside her, and continued softly:

"The real danger today is over there at the Buddha. There may be an attack by rebels. I have to go and help. This is the prince's order."

"Uncle Wu, please be safe."

"Well, thank you for your concern, my lord."

Wei Anhui asked again: "Uncle Wu, why do you want to chase Fusu?"

Wei Wu nodded: "It's dangerous to run around, of course we should help them send him back to the palace."

Wei Anhui nodded: "Oh."

"The princess didn't see it."

Wei Anhui still shook his head.

Wei Wu didn't say anything more, turned around and left, waving to the maids:

"Protect the princess."

Wei Anhui watched Wei Wu leave.

Soon, the car curtain was closed.

Outside, eight tall maids were guarding the shafts of the carriage.

Inside the car, Li Dalang hurried out from under the skirt, already sweating profusely.

"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

"fine."

Li Dalang shook his head vigorously.

Although she was wearing underwear, he didn't want to look at her, but he couldn't help but notice the color of the fabric, and some warmth... Any normal man would blush and his heart would beat fast.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, followed by a wave of panic. It seemed that there were many more people at the ferry, and there were more sounds of swords and iron armor colliding. Many people were fleeing, and some even bumped into Wei Anhui's noble carriage.

Li Dalang had a puzzled look on his face. He lifted the curtain slightly with his fingertips and took a look outside. The next moment, he was shocked and swallowed.

"what happened?"

Wei Anhui was curious, so she also stood up and bent down, following him to look outside. Her little face turned pale instantly.

"These people are...uh-huh."

Wei Anhui's mouth was blocked by someone. He looked up and saw Li Dalang.

He covered her mouth tightly with one hand and stared outside through the gap in the car curtain.

Wei Anhui saw that Li Dalang's face above was unusually solemn and pale, as if he had realized something serious.

……

Twin peaks.

Ouyang Rong meets Rong Zhen.

After explaining the hair issue, he calmly asked about Rong Zhen's situation.

"Did Li Congshan and his men bring three hundred soldiers with them?"

"Ah."

Rong Zhen waved his hand:
"I have them guard the Shuangfengjian Ferry and prevent those pirates from landing."

"That's fine."

"How about you, how is the outside layout?"

"It's done. All the outsiders have been persuaded to return to the city. Those who remain are our people. The south bank of Shuangfeng Peak can be closed off. We can fight the rebels with peace of mind."

Rong Zhen nodded slightly.

"Oh, Commander Yi is here too, bringing Yuan Huaimin with him. Based on her suggestion, I arranged for Yuan Huaimin to go to the South Peak of Shuangfeng Peak."

"Nanfeng?"

"Well, the construction site of the Buddha is at the foot of the North Peak on the North Bank. If he wants to paint, it would be best if he could have a panoramic view of the North Bank. It would be best if he could have an unobstructed view of the scenery."

"also."

"I have had someone send him the jade staff you gave me before, so it will be more convenient for climbing the mountain."

"Ms. Rong is still careful."

The two came to Shuangfengjian Ferry, which had been closed. Li Congshan, Miaozhen and others were all there.

The three hundred soldiers did not cross the river to the construction site on the north bank, but stayed on the south bank to guard the ferry.

Yi Qianqiu was also at the ferry, and he must have just sent Yuan Huaimin there.

As soon as Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen appeared, Yi Qianqiu's gaze turned over and fell on Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong greeted Yi Qianqiu and asked:
"Ms. Rong, have you seen Wang Caozhi?"

Rong Zhen: "No, he disappeared for a while. How come you don't know where he went?"

"No, I sent him out to do something, and he hasn't come back yet."

After thinking for a while, before boarding the ship, Ouyang Rong instructed Li Congshan and others: "If you see Wang Caozhi, bring him directly to the Big Buddha to see me."

"Yes, Governor Ouyang."

Li Congshan clasped his fists heavily.

After a while, everyone boarded the boat together, sailed through the Shuangfengjian waterway, and headed for the Great Buddha Grotto on the north bank.

Ouyang Rong stood at the bow, looking at the foggy river surface, and suddenly recalled the scene when he entered the Xunyang Grottoes on the day when the Giant Buddha was secretly built last time.

But today seems a little different.

He turned back calmly and glanced at the woods on the south bank behind him.

A vague feeling in his heart told him that a carriage was parked at a pre-designated location in the forest, waiting quietly.

It was just like when he went to the main cave for retreat, but today there was an embroiderer.

Feeling from a distance that the embroiderer was still holding the Mohist sword box obediently and had no intention of opening it, Ouyang Rong smiled.

At this moment, a pair of eyes looked over and fell on Ouyang Rong's smiling face.

It was Rong Zhen who was standing quietly with her sleeves rolled up in the boat.

Ouyang Rong coughed and restrained his expression.

After a while, the boat arrived at the north bank. Before Ouyang Rong stepped ashore, he looked up.

The silhouette of a towering Buddha is faintly emerging in the white mist, as if it were outlined on a scroll.

The Buddha's body was misty white, with only a golden corner of the highest point showing, as if welcoming them...
