"Sure enough, it's summer. Looking at the scenery of the misty and misty Dongting Lake, it's very refreshing." Xu Jin stood at the bow of the boat, pointing at the misty Dongting Lake, shaking his head with a bookish obsession. .

"There may also be murderous intentions in this vast mist. My Great Immortal Xu, you'd better not get too close. Flowing arrows don't have eyes." Shunzi brought tea to Shen Bai, and smirked as he stood on the bow of the boat drenched in the rain. Xu Jin couldn't help but tease him.

"Ah bah!" Xu Jin turned his head, walked back with a dissatisfied expression, and climbed up to the observation cabin: "Why did they kill me, I, Xu Jin, didn't kill and set fire."

"Then the third brother said that I murdered and set fire?" Shen Bai took a sip of tea and said in cooperation with Shunzi.

"No, these are all traitors, we are good people, how can we die so easily, right!" Xu Jin's face was covered with water, and he looked at Shen Bai with a greasy face.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, Immortal, don't catch a cold later." Shunzi looked at Xu Jin disdainfully, showing a funny and helpless expression.

"My lord, the general army of Ezhou has led the navy down, ready to take over the guards at the junction of the rivers and lakes." Huang Ji'an came over and said.

"How serious is the situation? Who is the general soldier of Ezhou?" Shen Bai put down his teacup and asked.

"It's Lord Tao Menglong."

Shen Bai half propped his head on one hand, looked at the heavy rain floating outside the boat, but his thoughts were as clear as the cool wind blowing in: "We came from Jiangzhou, but we didn't see his guards, but now we came from Ezhou after a lot of trouble. Are you saying that the emperor is worried, or the enemy is too cunning?"

Zhou Quan was glanced twice by Shen Bai, then he lowered his head and returned: "My lord, Mr. Shu didn't give instructions here."

Shen Bai sighed silently: "Did he go to Taiyuan?"

"No, the chaos in the party hasn't subsided yet?" Zhou Quan replied.

"Then who is guarding Xiazhou?" Shen Bai suddenly asked, which surprised Zhou Quan.

Shu Yu's secret letter specifically stated that this matter should not be revealed on the road, because he was afraid that Shen Bai would go directly to Xiazhou if he got angry, and he would be charged with 'absence of duty without authorization'.

"It's General Li Lu." Zhou Quan replied cautiously.

"Hmph, I'm afraid the old Li's family is in a hurry." Shen Bai felt a little headache when he thought of the surrounding situation. His itinerary is constantly changing, and the letters along the way have become intermittent due to the struggle above Chenzhou. Many letters cannot to him in time.In order to be more cautious, Jia Shi cleared a letter clarifying his strategy and gave it to Yu Wentuo, who then passed it on to Shen Bai. Shen Bai's current knowledge of the changes in the situation could not keep pace with the times.

This is a confusing thing for a commander-level person, just like Beethoven, a musician who has deafened his ears.

Because the wind and waves were too strong, the fleet moved very slowly. His large ships were much wider, and they were much better at resisting wind and waves, while the surrounding escort warships were quite bumpy.

For this, Shen Bai admired Hang Qingqing very much. She was five months pregnant, but she still remained the same. This may have something to do with her being a native of the south of the Yangtze River, and her family was engaged in trade, so she was raised as a son.

"It's almost mid-July. The time of this back and forth is really too fast. I don't know how the battle of Huining is going?" Shen Bai sat in the cabin, preparing with Huang Ji'an, Hang Qingqing and Xu Jin Have dinner.

On Dongting Lake at night, the heavy rain turned into light rain, and the cold wind lingered, not the coolness of the day, but a kind of thorough coldness.

"My father has no news either. He hopes that I can avoid the turmoil in Bianjing." Huang Ji'an was also thinking about Bianjing in a daze.

"It's like a storm. Only when the rain falls can the sky be cleared." Shen Bai watched the servants start serving the dishes, raised his glass and said to him.

"Our Huang family has already entered the middle position in this storm, and we cannot escape." Huang Ji'an raised his glass and touched Shen Bai: "And so many workers in Bianjing are still waiting for us to survive."

Shen Bai drank a glass of wine with him: "It's not your family. If there is a loss in Xiazhou, Bianjing will be the battlefield. Everyone on this side of the Yellow River will fall into the whirlpool overnight and tie their fate with the fate of the country." together."

"But my father has a bad feeling." Huang Ji'an said hesitantly.

Shen Bai poured wine for him, and filled it up for himself: "Me too, it's like a pair of eyes watching you in the dark, you don't know when a knife flies out of the dark and stabs you. In fact, it doesn't matter if you are really going to be stabbed, it is often this kind of bewilderment, which is harder to bear than being stabbed."

"How can you talk so suspensefully? Why does it feel like there is no way out? Is the situation in Bianjing so dire?" Xu Jin looked at the two of them noncommittally, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"To say something disrespectful, even Mr. Leng would dare to strike, what is impossible?" Huang Ji'an looked at Xu Jin, his greatest lucky star, and couldn't help blurting out.

"Mr. Leng? Who is it?" Xu Jin knew nothing about Leng Shaojun, so naturally he didn't know it at all.

Shen Bai also filled a glass for him, and slowly told about Leng Shaojun in the cold wine.

Xu Jin went from a surprised expression to silence, then to sadness, pulling Chen Bai, muttering words that no one could understand clearly.

Xu Jin, who was drunk, was lying on the table, holding a cup in one hand, and kept beating the table with the cup in his hand.

Hang Qingqing took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from Xu Jin's eyes.

"I've known him for so many years, and he lived heartlessly. I've only seen him cry twice, once when his mother died, and now again." Hang Qingqing looked at Shen Bai.

"But he is a lover who finally gets married." Shen Bai looked at Hang Qingqing and smiled faintly: "And I really want to see what little Xu Jin will look like in the future."

Thinking of the little life in her belly, Hang Qingqing showed a gentle smile, and stretched out her hand to touch her belly: "The child will not be ordinary with uncles like you, but I just want him to be safe and sound, regardless of gender . If our generation can't quell the disputes, I also hope that children can hide out and no longer suffer from factual disputes."

Shen Bai looked at her and smiled: "There was a warrior who was looking forward to his next generation being able to stay away from the turmoil of the rivers and lakes and the life of licking blood with knives, so he chose to escape and go into seclusion. But one day, he found out that he was wrong, someone told He said, "Your next generation can't stand the temptation to practice martial arts, so they pick up the sword again. What should we do? If there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and if there are grievances, there will be rivers and lakes. How can you escape?""

"Well said!" Huang Ji'an raised his glass and said to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai drank the wine in his glass, thinking of the movie version of "Invincible in the East", how obsessed people of his era were with this movie.

Not because the movie pursues classics, but because it is a classic itself.

Classic music, classic characters, classic performances, and the feeling of "Yin Yu Yao" that runs through the whole film.

He remembered many of his peers, and they all remembered certain lines in the movie, and he remembered the slow-paced and single-playing 'A Laugh from the Sea'.

"Can't we sing "Smiling and Proud Jianghu" together again?" Shen Bai recalled a sentence written in a New Year's card sent to him by a young friend of his when he went to study in England.That friend sent a lot of postcards from England, among which the one in London in the rain was very nostalgic to him.

Maybe at that time, he didn't know what 'nostalgia' was.

That friend later successfully opened a large company in Australia. When he was paralyzed, his brother-in-law Guo Qi once said that the friend had asked someone to find him and wanted to help him.

But he never contacted him.

Pain belongs to a person, and life is also his own. He never wants others to pity him.

"Swordsman, is it a tune?" Hang Qingqing's words interrupted Shen Bai's wandering thoughts.

"Want to listen, sister-in-law three?" Shen Bai looked at her and asked with a smile.

"Let someone take away the bowls and chopsticks, and change the tea for you to play again?" Hang Qingqing said softly.

"Do you want to help your husband back?" Huang Ji'an asked.

Xu Jin raised his head: "I'm not going anywhere."

Everyone was amused by him and laughed out loud watching him.

Early the next morning, Shen Bai was woken up by Huang Ji'an knocking on the door.

"My lord, go and have a look, a visitor has arrived." Huang Ji'an said to Shen Bai.

After rinsing his mouth and washing his face, it was only when Shen Bai came to the front of the boat that he realized how difficult it was for the visitor in Huang Ji'an's words.

On the waves of the great lake, three medium-sized ships were surrounded in the middle.

Daniu pulled Zhou Quan, in a posture of persuading the fight.

Shen Bai looked at them suspiciously, walked to the bow, and glanced at the calm expression of the seeker.

"Jin Guanshi?" Shen Bai lost his voice, and it turned out to be Jin Guanshi from Zihuanfeng Zuiyuan.

"My lord, this old slave went back to Jingzhao to help. My lord was afraid that you would feel unwell along the way, so I asked this old slave to bring some medicinal materials for you." Guanshi Jin looked at Shen Bai and said humbly, not paying any attention to the fierce formation of the imperial guards around.

"My lord, it's really suspicious that this person showed up here when he went to Jingzhao, please think twice, lord?" Zhou Quan was a little nervous, once the manager Jin said that Prince Shen was in Xiazhou, what would happen.

"If the old slave doesn't go up, just give the medicinal materials to the prince, and there is a note from the master inside." Manager Jin said understandingly.

"Bring it up." Shen Bai ordered coldly.

Zhou Quan didn't dare to embarrass him, so he asked someone to take it, and opened it in front of Shen Bai. In the wooden box, there were medicinal materials wrapped in oil paper one by one. Here you go, soak in water and drink."

There is no problem with Zhou Quan reading the note, and he said to Shen Bai: "My lord, let me show the medicinal materials."

Shen Bai nodded and looked at Guan Shi.

Under Zhouquan's watchful eyes, Guanshi Jin saluted Shen Bai: "The old slave is going to Jingzhao by way. Be careful on the way, the prince. There seems to be something wrong in the river ahead."

Shen Bai smiled at him: "Be careful, too. When you arrive at Jingzhao, say hello to Old General Li and tell him that I won't just sit idly by and ignore Xia Zhou's affairs."

"Yes!" Guanshi Jin responded, directing the boat Yang Fan to leave.

Shen Bai returned to the room, and took out the first volume of the Warring States Policy that he carried with him, which he had agreed with Zihuan.

Looking at the number of medicinal materials on the sticky note, a few simple words come out, 'I know you and Xiao Shi'

After reading the note, Shen Bai sighed.
