After the system ran, I took off with my family

Xiao Zhennian's expression became more and more solemn. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What else did he say?"

"Your Excellency, he said that the Emperor of Japan has given me a mission, asking me to find a way to serve in the Zhenhai Division. It would be best if I could lurk by your side, Governor-General, and gather more useful information to pass on to them. When they attack next year, I will cooperate with them from inside and outside to take down the Zhenhai Division." Gao Zhi reported everything in detail.

"These Japanese pirates are so delusional! Do they really think our Zhenhai Division is made of mud?"

"Sir, don't worry. I will order the soldiers to double their training intensity. Then they will be defeated!"

Han Guang tightly grasped the long sword at his waist, his eyes beneath his sword-like brows filled with murderous intent.

"Well, it's time to strengthen the training, but don't rush it." Xiao Zhennian pondered, and then looked at Gao Zhi, "Gao Zhi, you should stay with me from now on. Next time you meet with them, tell Han Guang first. He will teach you how to respond to their questions."

"Yes, I will obey your orders in everything."

Gao Zhi nodded in response. When his master left, he had told him to follow Governor Xiao's orders in everything.

Xiao Zhennian's eyes were sharp, "Han Guang, you will personally supervise the training of the soldiers. They should strengthen their training in archery, close combat, and swimming. It is better to suffer a little now than to lose your life later."

"Also, send some people to various fishing villages to tell the fishermen not to go too far when fishing. If they see anyone suspicious, they should immediately inform the patrol team. The teams patrolling the coastline should also add more people. Don't take it lightly."

After giving the order, he turned back to look at the map on the table with a firm gaze, "The territory of the Great Zhou must not be lost!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Two days later, on the deck of the passenger ship, Qingzhi leaned against the railing, feeling a little depressed. "When are we going to Jin'an Prefecture? The boat ride is not fun at all."

"Who said that you like taking a boat the most? You don't like it after just two days?" Qinghe covered her mouth and laughed.

When this girl first got on the boat, she was so excited that she seemed like she was let out of a cage. Everything she saw was new and she even claimed that she loved riding on the boat the most.

But who could have expected that this girl would get seasick and vomit everything she ate. Fortunately, the young lady was there and gave the girl some spiritual water. After drinking the spiritual water, she felt much better.

"Sister Qinghe, stop teasing me~" Qingzhi stomped her feet in annoyance. Qingsheng stood not far from them and grinned.

Lin Shuyue watched the two little girls bickering with each other and chuckled. At this moment, footsteps were heard from the other end of the cabin. She turned around and saw several maids and old women coming out of the cabin, holding a young girl in apricot clothes with solemn expressions and walking towards the front of the deck.

Lin Shuyue took a look and then looked away. The deck was very spacious. The three of them were on the left side of the deck, some distance away from where the woman was.

"Miss, the wind is a bit strong. Let's go back to the room. If you catch a cold, your wife will be worried."

"Mammy, I'll just stay here for a while. This room is too stuffy. I'll feel more comfortable here in the fresh air."

"But Miss, you are not as healthy as others. If you catch a cold, there is no doctor on the ship. Then..."

"Mammy, it's okay. You see, I took a carriage all the way from the capital to Wanhe County without any problem. Now I can take a boat back without any problem. Don't worry..."

“…”

A gust of wind blew the words of the girl and the old woman to Lin Shuyue's ears. She looked over there curiously. The girl was wearing a thick cloak and a hood on her head. Only a pair of white but thin hands could be seen resting on the railing of the deck.

It seemed that she was a noble lady from the capital, but I didn't know why she was traveling so far despite her poor health. There were only maids and old women around her, but no guards.

She was puzzled for only a moment and then turned around to continue looking at the scenery on the shore. It was March, the time when all things came back to life. The greenery on both sides of the river was full of vitality, which made people feel happy just by looking at it.

After staying on the deck for about a cup of tea, Lin Shuyue took the two maids back to the cabin.

The girl in apricot clothes turned around when she heard footsteps and looked at Lin Shuyue's departing back. A hint of envy flashed across her eyes as clear as autumn water.

On the evening of the fourth day after boarding the ship, the passenger ship finally docked at the pier of Jin'an Prefecture.

Lin Shuyue led Qinghe, Qingzhi and Qingsheng to get off the boat. When they stepped firmly on the ground, Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally we're on shore! The ground is solid!"

"Selling wontons! Delicious wontons!"

"Head flower! Whistle! Make candy figures!"

“…”

Although it was evening, the dock was still crowded with people, and the sounds of hawking and shouting could be heard one after another.

It was getting late, and after taking the three of them for a casual walk, Lin Shuyue found a very remote and deserted corner and released the carriage from the space. Qingsheng then drove the carriage into the city.

"Miss, this inn looks good. Shall we stay here?" Qingsheng asked, pointing to the inn in front.

Lin Shuyue glanced at the brightly lit inn in front of her, Yunlai Inn, and said, "Okay, let's go with this one."

As soon as the carriage stopped at the door of the inn, the waiter came up to greet us with a big smile, "Dear guests, would you like to stay overnight or stay the night?"

"Do you have rooms for upper rooms?" Qingsheng glanced towards the lobby.

When the waiter heard this, his smile became more genuine. "Sir, yes, how many rooms do you want?"

"Please give us three rooms." Lin Shuyue took Qinghe and Qingzhi out of the carriage and walked towards the lobby.

"Hey, sir, good guest, shopkeeper, three upper rooms!"

The waiter smiled from ear to ear, "Brother, we have a special stable and someone to feed the horses. Please follow me."

The first thing to do after settling down is to take a bath. Although there is hot water for washing on the boat, it is only used to wipe the body.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Qing He combed her hair with a comb. Qing Zhi looked at the young lady's skin, which was slightly shiny after the bath, like a lotus flower emerging from the water, and said hesitantly, "Young lady, shall I ask someone to bring the food up?"

Lin Shuyue glanced at Qingzhi. This little girl was very thoughtful. "Let's go down and eat. By the way, ask what fun and delicious things there are in Jin'an Prefecture."

After saying that, she asked Qinghe to comb her hair into a men's hairstyle. Qingzhi understood immediately and quickly took out a set of crescent-white men's clothes from her bag.

After getting dressed, Lin Shuyue took the inkstone and lightly drew a few strokes on her eyebrows, turning her original distant mountain eyebrows into heroic sword eyebrows. With a fan, she looked like a handsome young man with elegant manners, red lips and white teeth.

"Let's go, call Qingsheng and go downstairs together."

She fanned herself and walked out calmly and steadily.
