in charge

Once on board, Mo Zi asked Xiao Wei to talk alone.

"Why did you lie? Do you know this is cheating?" He didn't care about pretending to be husband and wife or brother and sister, but he had to establish his right to lead the team.

"Will be outside, the king's life is not acceptable. If I really want to be honest, the fact that the emperor asked us to pretend to be husband and wife brother and sister is meaningful in itself. As long as we can rescue people, we will perform tasks in what capacity and relationship. What's the big deal?" She asked Yuan Cheng this question.

Yuan Cheng actually replied to her that the emperor seemed to be keen on drawing red lines, especially his favorite courtiers.Whether siblings or husband and wife, they are all very easy to produce emotional match.Although, men and women in pairs, it is indeed less suspicious to go out like this.

"This is an imperial decree, how can I change it at will? The general is outside, and the emperor's order is not accepted, but it refers to a critical moment, so don't disobey it lightly." Xiao Wei frowned because of her light and bold remarks.

Mo Zi naturally has no ill feeling toward the emperor, but she also has no so-called sense of loyalty to the emperor. Her speech and thoughts are relatively free, and she doesn't stop talking because some people are not used to it.

"I still think that the main purpose of this trip is to save people, and everything else can be changed without sticking to the will. Pretend to be a brother and sister husband and wife today, and may pretend to be a father, daughter, mother and son tomorrow, depending on the specific situation." Suddenly thinking of Yuan Cheng's words, she The tone slowed down, "General Xiao, you went to South Germany with the emperor's secret decree and cooperated with me, a smuggler, didn't you break the rules? Some people told me that the general has the ability to deal with emergencies. Let me and the general Discuss carefully, after all, you and I have the same position now. I was a little impatient just now, please be generous with the general. Mo Zi is also judging the situation, and hope that everything will go smoothly and everyone will return safely. Discussed."

She just doesn't forgive others, and the tougher the other party is, the tougher she is, and she can't change her shortcomings.

Xiao Wei knew who told her without asking.He has always disliked dealing with Yuan Cheng, and he didn't expect this person to have a good opinion of him... However, he just doesn't feel j.

That's all for saying it, but when Mo Zi turned around and was about to walk out of the hatch, he asked one more question, "Mo Zi, am I not such an annoying person?"

Mo Zi was stunned... Where did these words come from?After a little thought, he replied, "No. It's just that General Xiao was young and ambitious, so he was inevitably arrogant. Now that I think about it, it was you and I who messed up when we first met, and there were many conflicts afterwards, so we couldn't develop a good impression. But in detail, there is nothing wrong with the two of them. It was raining in the book pavilion that day... I only mentioned it, and the general asked Hong Luo to send the book, and Mo Zi knew that the general was not bad. It seemed that the previous positions had been opposing each other. It’s also hard to call Yan Yuese and me. This time, we’re really on the same boat... It’s true. If we can respect and trust each other, it shouldn’t be difficult to build a team spirit.”

"Team spirit?" Outlandish phrase.Back then too.Every word is understandable, and the combination is very fresh and popular.Xiao Wei couldn't help but smile.

Mo Zi also smiled, "It's much better this way. With a straight face, who is not afraid of you? General Xiao—

"You should call me Big Brother." Xiao Wei maintained a smile, although it was very shallow, but the lines on his face were much softer, "There is still a long way to go to Yuling... but it's best to get used to it... so as not to show flaws in front of others. The same goes for Wei Jia and Miss Yang. Take advantage of these few days to get used to addressing them."

"Brother." He was right...she just listened and walked out, "I'll talk to Yang Qiao and Wei Jia."

Xiao Wei stood by the door, watching her whisper to the two of them, the smile on his face never faded away.Will getting along with her gradually become better?

Ten days later, I arrived at Miancheng in Huazhou, which is the largest city in Huazhou and also the prefectural city.

When the ship enters a large port, it is necessary to buy food and daily necessities.And here is their last stop in the Great Week.Huazhou is the closest to Yuling. In the past, Lu Town, where Mo Zi passed by with Qiu Sanniang's wedding boat, belonged to Huazhou. It was only separated by three rivers and five mountains. It took two days to enter Yuling by boat.

Wei Jia looked at the busy pier from the top cabin, and finally put aside his thoughts of sightseeing and cared about the business, "When will I enter Yuling?"

"First inquire in the city to see if it is possible to enter Yuling directly. If not, you have to think of other ways." Xiao Wei planned to use the same method as when he went back to Nande to get people—clearly and secretly Come.

"It is rumored that the Daqiu warship blocked the river connecting the two countries and the towns along the coast. If it is true, we will be in big trouble." Zhong An interjected.In his opinion, entering Nande is completely different from entering Yuling.South Germany has a good relationship with Dazhou, and there are still gaps in the border that can be drilled.But Yuling is now equal to the land of Daqiu, and he must take strict precautions against Dazhou.

"Cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths." Mo Zi walked in with the stinky fish, "The river is so wide, I don't believe I can't find the entrance. Besides, Yuling was devastated by the war, and there was a shortage of domestic supplies, so there was a great demand for agriculture. It is not abundant, the mineral resources are limited, and the cold winter has just passed, and the spring plowing has just begun, and the treasury will not have surplus, so it is difficult to give support. It is impossible for all the rich people in Yuling to run out. If they want to live a good life, they must Rely on small goods. The market at this time is fat and big, and even a bit of courage and experience will not let go of this opportunity to make war fortune."

Xiao Xiong agreed with her a little bit, "That's right, as long as you find the right way. Don't worry about when to set off, just wait until you are ready, and it will happen naturally."

"Brother, I want to take my brothers out to a restaurant. These days, they never stay overnight in Hong Kong because they are on their way. They are tired of staying on the boat all the time. They heard that Miancheng is lively, and they all clamored for good wine and food. It seems We may stay for a few days, but let them go at their ease tonight, I wonder if it's okay?" In the past ten days, the cooperation with Xiao Er has been regarded as good.She has the final say on matters related to shipping.For example, where to enter the port, which river to go, and the speed of the ship.She notified Xiao Er, and Xiao Er said he knew, without even asking.As for getting off the boat, she had to ask him, and she couldn't talk to herself and take someone for a walk.

Wei Jia's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, let's go together. By the way, the food cooked by the cook on our ship is really hard to swallow. It's only been a few days since we ate, and everyone has food. Not only can the cook not be changed, No one can change the people in this boat. They are all carefully selected to carry out secret orders. The cook's ability to cook is to sharpen his guns in front of battle, but his ability to use knives is the best.

"We can't disembark everyone, we can only disembark in batches." Xiao Wei was thinking about how to do it in batches, but Zhong An had already given him an idea.

He said: "Master Biao and Young Mistress Biao took half of the boatman's entourage to stay temporarily, and we will disembark first. Tomorrow, Young Master Biao will disembark, and we will stay behind. How about it?"

Wei Jia has a chic personality and understands things. There are reasons to guard the ship, so he readily agrees without complaining, and only asks Xiao Weizhongan and the others to bring some delicious food when they come back.

So, ordered half of the people to disembark and move freely.And Mo Zi brought the three brothers Zanjin Dinggou and Smelly Yu, Xiao Wei and Shen An, plus four servants dressed as guards, a dozen of 12 people went for a stroll in the city, which seemed to be a stroll, but it was not really a stroll.When drinking tea, you must ask the owner of Dr. Tea Shop to inquire about Taiping in the city. When shopping, you must chat with the shopkeeper about the news on the other side.However, if you want to meet your heart, your efforts will be in vain.Either they didn't know anything, or they were talking nonsense, and they didn't get any useful information for a long time.

When Zhong An pointed to another big restaurant that looked very prosperous and said to go in and drink tea, Mo Zi resolutely objected, "I have been going in and out of big shops and restaurants all morning. I drink as much tea as I can. I bought three or four antiques. What is there?" There is no news of value, which shows that we are inquiring in the wrong direction."

"Why not?" It was almost a group that went to Nande together, Zhong An said bluntly, "Didn't we find you, a peddler, in the big restaurant of Wangqiulou back then?"

Ding Gou pulled Zan in, slanted Mo Zi, and whispered, "What kind of job has she ever done?"

Zan Jin said yes, and replied in a low voice, "If it wasn't for Brother Mo's peddling of goods, who just happened to meet me, my father would have no money to bury him."

Ding Gou listened to all these old things, felt fresh, and asked Zan Jin behind him.

Mo Zi answered Zhong An and said, "Sir, do you think how many people like me can be met in the big restaurant? And how many people like Xiao...... Brother can I meet? At that time, it should be said that it was a coincidence, not a coincidence. Deliberately do it. Let the farmer pick it up once when the rabbit hits the tree.” The famous story of “waiting for the rabbit” shows that there is one, but not necessarily two.

Xiao Wei then asked her, "You said we were inquiring in the wrong direction?"

"Although s traffickers seek huge profits, they often come from low backgrounds and dare to take risks. Since their status is not high, and what they do is not visible, even if they have money, they can't spend it in an aboveboard manner. They may not come and go from these high-profile A high-quality restaurant." Mo Zi pointed to a restaurant in the fork next to the restaurant, it was a small restaurant, the sign was a bit old, but it was full of guests, and there were bursts of laughter, "I see that one is pleasing to the eye. , if I were those people. It is not conspicuous, it looks like a time-honored brand, and the wine will not be unsatisfactory."

Stinky Fish simply raised his feet and walked there, "It's me, I'll go too.

This time, I have to go if I don’t go.

The waiter saw a group of seemingly wealthy customers coming, and hurriedly came out to greet them with a smile, "The guest officer came by coincidence, and there is a large table for 12 people that is empty."

Xiao Wei looked inside, the shop was small but the business was thriving, most of the customers were commoners or rough clothes, and the wine vessels and dishes were also poorly used, it was a very ordinary wine shop.

Mo Zi had already nodded to go in, but then realized that she hadn't consulted the leader, so she hurriedly took back her steps and turned to Xiao Er, "What do you think?"

Zhong An looked funny from the side, and put on a naughty face of a cashier, "Miss has been very clever lately, discussing everything with the young master, after all, she is more sensible."

Mo Zi ignored Shen An, only looked at Xiao Er, "Brother?"

Suddenly, a person rushed out from the wine shop and grabbed Fat Shrimp's strong arms.

"Xiao Da?" He looked at the water snake and the stinky fish nervously again, "Shi Er? Yu San? You are not dead!"

Mo Zi immediately looked at the three Smelly Fish brothers.With his indifferent face, flickering eyes, and stiff torso, it seemed that things were complicated.

I'm sorry, I'm going home late, so my friends have to wait. ! .
