A piece of paper

Chapter 321 Not surprising
Rushing on the road is inevitably one bumpy dream after another.

Except for a short break in Shuiyang Town on the way, a half-hour stop for two hours and a quarter of an hour to solve three urgent problems, the rest of the time, everyone huddled in the car quietly and orderly, including at night, when they changed horses at the inn and rushed again. , taking advantage of the night to drive crazily.

On the fourth day, they bypassed the outer city of Yingtian Mansion.

On the evening of the sixth day, we arrived at the port of Matsue Cangcheng. The night was already dark and everything was quiet. But what was surprising was that just by being in this time and space, we could taste a bit of order from this silence.

After receiving the order, Xianjin and Hengxi got out of the car one after another. Seeing this scene, Xianjin suddenly palpitated, and the sound of "bang bang bang" in his chest resounded through the sky.

The silence of the sky and the vastness of the river, the big ship and the sparks, the tall masts and the busy and silent sailors.
On the calm river surface, more than twenty one-masted and multi-sailed ships were moored one after another on the inner bank of the port. The river rose and fell with the surging undercurrent. The first three ships in the row were larger than the dozen or so ships that followed. The whole model is as tall as a building, with a pointed bottom, a wide top, and a high-pitched top, looking like a phoenix standing with its head held high.

Shocked.

There is nothing to say but shock.

Xian Jin turned his eyes.

The port should be empty, surrounded by officials in official uniforms, or uniformly dressed people walking away quickly. Are they guards?

Xian Jin supported Heng Xi, and Lian Geng sat in the carriage for six or seven days overnight, falling asleep and waking up in a daze every day. A row of men in blue satin uniforms.

".Those are chamberlains."

A voice sounded from behind.

Xian Jin trembled and turned his head. Qiao Hui, wearing a scarlet robe and official uniform with a leopard embroidered on his waistband, strode forward with a golden sword.

Among all the fifth-grade civil servants wearing green robes, he looked majestic and towering.

Xian Jin is a business girl. She searched and searched in her meager and scanty historical knowledge: There seems to be a saying that those above the third rank can wear scarlet robes, right?
A twenty-year-old third-grade military general strode from the radiant galaxy.

Xian Jin's brain, which was in desperate need of a rest, stopped for a moment. In this state of panic, for some reason, she wanted to step forward and spread her arms around Qiao Hui.

The river breeze flickered, and Xian Jin was trembled. She returned to her senses. She suddenly remembered that night, before she fell asleep, she saw Qiao Hui, who had already walked out of the door, a kite turned over and jumped into the room through the window, doing nothing. , just squatting in the corner and looking at her behind the curtain with burning eyes.
While Xian Jin was experiencing this inexplicable inner one-man show, Qiao Hui had already come to his side.

"The chamberlains in the palace have a bit of a weird temperament. Don't stare at people or look at them carefully to annoy them." Qiao Hui stood beside him, took down the two large boxes of luggage from the back of the carriage, and handed them to the guards behind him.

The guard behind him poked his head out from behind Qiao Hui. He was young and looked a little curious with bright eyes. He quickly put his middle finger on his lips with one hand, then stretched his palm upright and moved it from back to front on the side of his head. Waving, and finally pinching the earlobe.

This action seems a bit familiar.
Xian Jin smiled and nodded.

Qiao Hui kicked the young man's knee, "Don't make trouble! Send your luggage to the ship first - remember it's Yimao ship."

Hengxi leaned beside Xianjin and tugged on Xianjin's sleeves.

Xianjin Rumeng woke up, turned sideways and introduced to Hengxi, "Qiao Hui, the eldest son of Qiao Shanchang." He then introduced Hengxi, "Boss Hengji Heng, known as the Fifth Girl."

Qiao Hui nodded, "Boss Heng."

Then he slowly moved his eyes away from Heng Xi's body that was about to stick to Xian Jin's arm.

Behind him, a group of chamberlains passed by carrying large boxes. Qiao Hui reached out his hand in the air as if nothing had happened and put the Xianjin inside to protect it. "Let's get on the boat first - please don't delay the auspicious time calculated by the Huguo Temple."

He just happened to save Xian Jin's arm from Heng Xi's hands, and by the way, he occupied a strong position and guarded Xian Jin's right arm, a battleground for military strategists.

Xian Jin smiled and said, "Does Princess Baian believe in Buddhism?"

Qiao Hui raised the corners of his lips and said neither yes nor no, "There are a total of 304 people going out to sea this time, and many of them believe in Buddhism."

Well, traveling in ancient times was not easy. You had to have faith to support you so that you would not curse God for missing a father or mother when encountering rough waves. Qiao Hui walked unhurriedly to the right, half a step away from Xianjin, and introduced the itinerary in a hoarse but serious voice, "We will go down the Yangtze River, then build the Anhai Road, and along the Minjiang Estuary After crossing the Minjiang Waterway to the south, we arrived at Fuzhou Prefecture.”

We are almost reaching the middle and lower reaches of the fleet.

Qiao Hui stopped in front of a trestle. A big sign "Yimao" was hung on the hull. Xianjin held the rope with both hands and stepped on the trestle to go up.

Qiao Hui stretched out his hand, "Hand?"

Xian Jin seemed to have been electrocuted, and quickly retracted his hand from the hemp rope, "Why are you having epilepsy!"

There are so many people!
Qiao Hui shrugged, "The boat is high. I'm afraid that if your foot slips and your hands are not steady, you will fall into the water and become a proud long-haired water monkey, domineering under the Yangtze River and rebel against Tiangang."

Show gold:.
Thank you for describing drowning death so vividly.

Qiao Hui's familiar formula for bitching made Xian Jin feel more at ease. Xian Jin tightened the hemp rope and mouthed, "Go to hell!"

The iron bones laid by Baduanjin allowed Xianjin to quickly climb up the window board in three steps and two steps at a time. A delicate voice came from behind, "Hold?"

Xian Jin turned around and saw that the little girl from Hengxi was pouting and quickly put her hand into Xian Jin's mouth.

Xian Jin smiled and held the little girl's delicate hand, "You're almost crawling and you're still acting like a baby?"

Heng Xi took two long steps and threw himself into Xian Jin's arms, muttering: "The trestle bridge is slippery, I'm scared."

Qiao Hui:.
Damn it, when you jump into someone's arms, you jump higher than a monkey!

Are you afraid? ! Are you afraid of a hammer?

And
Qiao Hui swore that when Xianjin held her hand just now, this Hengwu girl definitely, definitely, definitely glanced at him with the whites of her eyes, looking like she was pampered, arrogant and triumphant!
There are waves on the river, and the tops of the waves hit the rocks.

Qiao Hui squinted his eyes, fixed his gaze on a small ship not far away, and said as if unintentionally, "Tsk, I heard that there is a cabin on the 'Yu C' that is still vacant."

Hengxi tightened his palms and bit his back teeth in anger: You are amazing for using power for personal gain!
Qiao Hui took the two of them around the "Yimao". The scale of the ship was much larger than Xian Jin had imagined, but it was much smaller than the first three big ships. The cabin was only one layer, in the hull and under the bow. There were hundreds of boxes, large and small, all sealed with seals and big copper locks.

Xianjin didn't ask, and Qiao Hui didn't say anything either.

The two people walked in tacitly, and there were four young girls dressed as maids in the same green robes as in the inner room, standing in two rows with their heads buried in the cabin porch.

"Members of the negotiation group are not allowed to bring personal servants, attendants or guards." Qiao Hui stood sideways behind him, "This ship only accommodates the two of you, so there are only four palace servants responsible for your food and daily life. The ship Don’t move, don’t look, don’t ask questions about the things you put down there, just tell others that they are rice paper.”

Xian Jin nodded.

Heng Xi narrowed his eyes, "Then where is our rice paper actually placed? Rice paper needs to be preserved with lime powder, especially when going out on a boat, it is most afraid of moisture."

Qiao Hui did not look at Hengxi, "On the Yiyin boat. The rice paper is all wrapped in waterproof oil-skinned yellow paper, with lime powder placed to absorb water, and charcoal is burned regularly in the cabin."

It's the similar-sized ship next to it.

The two boats were so close that there were even grooves cut out on the boat lasts to facilitate the placement of the passage pedals.

"Then where do you live?" Xianjin asked.

Qiao Hui said: "Yi Yin ship."

Hengxi's mouth twisted: Haha.

No surprise at all!
