It took less than a day for the boat to go down the river in the direction of Wu. Cao Pi had already vomited, his complexion was sallow, and he collapsed in the cabin with a lifeless look.

There are not many houses on the boat, and it was originally arranged that my sister Sun and I used the small room, and let the big room be used by a few men as floor berths.But I was worried that Cao Pi belonged to the type of "boat sickness", so I simply changed the allocation, and gave the hut to Zhou Yu and the others from Soochow, and the other room to Zhang He and the others.My sister Sun and I moved to the big house to sleep in the inner room, and the outer room was given to Cao Pi, which also made it easier for my sister and me to take care of him who was suffering from seasickness.

When I changed the arrangement, Sun Ce and Zhao Yun were the first to stand up and express their displeasure.

"My lord and Shang Xiang are women, how can I let a man live outside!"

"Young master Cao is a man with a healthy body and mind, which really makes Yun feel at ease."

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun had exactly the same expressions, both serious and serious, expressions that they would never agree with.I understood what they were worried about, but I turned my head to look at Cao Pi, who was lying on the side of the boat and had already vomited, looking like he was dying.

"Are you sure that this man who can't get up from vomiting really has the strength to attack my sister and me at night?"

Facing my question, Sun Ce and Zhao Yun moved their eyes away from me in unison. They clearly saw Cao Pi's miserable appearance, but they still refused to admit it.

Sun Shangxiang suggested: "Brother and the general are also worried, why not let them sleep in the outside room, so that we can take care of Mr. Cao."

Sun Ce listened to Sun Shangxiang, and as an elder brother, he was naturally very happy and hurriedly responded, "This is very good. Ce and Zhao Yun are laying the floor, and I can take care of the lord and take care of Cao Gongzi."

"My lord is afraid of the dark at night, only the presence of clouds will not be afraid."

I looked at Zhao Yun who said so seriously, and the corners of my mouth twitched a few times uncontrollably.

I'm just terrified of sleeping myself and having nightmares at night!It's not that I'm afraid of the dark!You worked so hard to get into my room!He even twisted the meaning of this matter!Is this really good? !

"You two..." Zhou Yu, who was standing beside Sun Ce, shook his head, turned his words into knives, and unceremoniously stabbed at the two people who made things difficult for me, "It's just a woman who is worried about my sister and myself. , but you said it so righteously, are you embarrassed?"

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun were not at all embarrassed by being caught, and nodded to Zhou Yu in unison, acting like they were doing the whole thing.

I really had no choice but to agree with these two people, "Okay, okay, I really lost to you, why don't you let you sleep in the outer room! But there are three chapters in the contract, my sister and I don't go out of the inner room, you dare to step in One step, I will file a complaint with Guo Jia!"

Sun Ce responded, "My lord, don't worry, Ce will watch over Zhao Yun for you."

"My lord, don't worry, Yun will not let Mr. Sun step into the inner room. If he behaves out of line, Yun will pierce him with a gun."

I'm speechless to both of them!It was obvious that they were still in the same camp before, but when they found out that the common interests were reached, they immediately tore their faces. Did you not see Jiang Wei next to him, with an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at? !

"That's good too, so you don't have to rush in in the middle of the night." Zhou Yu's words chilled my heart.

I regret agreeing to them a little bit, is it too late to go back now?

As it turned out, I had no chance of repenting.Sun Ce and Zhao Yun lived in the outer room of sister Sun and me with peace of mind, and took care of Cao Pi who vomited to death every day very carefully.

It only took three days for the ship to reach Wu with the wind and the water.If there was no boat from Ji’s family at the beginning, we would have to spend more than ten days to reach Wu by land and transfer boats twice.Saving this time now is good for Cao Pi, and he will suffer less torture when he arrives in Wu sooner.

After disembarking, everyone was busy. Zhou Yu and Zhu Ran were discussing something. Sun Shangxiang directed the soldiers to remove the box and put it into the carriage. Cao Pi rested.

"Cao Pi, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest?"

"My son has never felt so reborn as he is now!" After getting off the boat, Cao Pi's complexion gradually returned to ruddy, and he regained the strength to choke on me once he changed from his previous listless look.

Seeing him like this, I was also relieved, and turned to look at Jiang Wei who was walking.

"Master." Jiang Wei bowed to me and said, "Mr. Zhou said, let Zhu Ran and Wei continue to go down the river to the South China Sea, and let us wait for instructions. Mr. Zhou asked Wei to ask, is it feasible?"

I looked down at Cao Pi.According to Guo Jia's thinking, Cao Pi and Jiang Wei should be the ones to go south by boat. It's just that Cao Pi's adaptability to the boat is too bad. Without me, what will happen if we continue to go south by boat.

I thought about it carefully, and I really couldn't find someone to replace Cao Pi.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are like conjoined twins, neither of them can do without the other, Ling Tong is even less likely to be a candidate to go south if he wants to take care of his sister Sun, and Lu Xun... feels that he is unlikely to go.Although I feel sorry for Zhu Ran who has returned home, he is the only one who is easy to talk and can accompany Jiang Wei.

I nodded and agreed, "Okay, it's just that Bo Yue, are you okay on the boat?"

Jiang Wei smiled at me, "Don't worry, my lord. Although the time on the boat these few days is short, Wei can adapt to the life on board. And it won't take long to go down the river until you reach the South China Sea."

I have known Jiang Wei for a long time. Sometimes I feel that he often forces himself to do things that he doesn't like, like taking a boat. He obviously looks uncomfortable, but he is just like Zhao Yun. Allow yourself to adapt.

Although the result is very good, but the process is really distressing.

"If you can't get used to it, don't hold on. Tell Zhu Ran that it doesn't matter if you take a little time on the road. We didn't get to the South China Sea so quickly." He became the second son of Cao Dashi who was ashamed when he got on the boat and fierce when he got off the boat.

"Don't worry, my lord, Wei won't force himself." Jiang Wei reassured me and boarded the boat again.

In order to prevent being recognized by others, the generals of Soochow and Sister Sun all put on hoods.

After the soldiers moved their things out, Zhou Yu asked my opinion, and left all the soldiers with the ship to prevent them from encountering the enemy, and there was no extra force to contain them.

However, when the boat drove out of the pier, I turned to look at the person waving beside me and asked, "Zhu Ran, why are you here?"

Say you're on the boat? !

"Ah?" Zhu Ran was taken aback, raised his hand and scratched his head and replied, "Oh, it's Bo Yan, who said that there is no one who wants to go back and see...so I took the initiative to replace it."

This topic is a bit heavy, and I regret bringing up Lu Xun's matter, and I twitched the corners of my mouth in embarrassment.

"This, that's it..."

"Okay, everyone is gone, it's useless to think about it." Zhu Ran clapped his hands together and interrupted my thoughts with crisp applause. I saw him raise a finger with a smile, yes I continued: "My lord! Wucheng is so big, there are many roadside vendors, and there are also old shops of the aristocratic family. You can take a good stroll with Ms. Sun."

"Really?!" Since I came to Donghan, my only pleasure is shopping.

"And you can still see the shipyard, but it's not easy to get close. There are also tree-lined paths and stone bridges. If you come at the end of the year, you can still see two lights placed at the door of every house to illuminate them. Bright Night Road." Zhu Ran proudly introduced everything about Wu Cheng to me, and the ones who praised Wu Cheng in his words seemed to be only slightly inferior to Luoyang City.

The city of Wucheng looks huge from the outside. Although it cannot match the huge Luoyang City, it is much larger than the cities of Beihai and Xiaopei.

Although the city is not very depressed, it is not as prosperous as Zhu Ran said.We walked all the way, not to mention the hawkers, even some shops were closed, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Some of them hurried past with frightened faces, as if they didn't dare to stay outside.

"It's strange, but why can't I remember Wu's scene like this?" Zhu Ran scratched his head in a daze, not at all understanding that the once prosperous Wu City in his memory had become like this.

Ling Tong replied: "When did you come to Wucheng? It is now governed by the surname Yan."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about it." Zhu Ran clenched his fists and clapped his palms, understanding.

Zhou Yu, who was walking outside of me, explained to me: "The person who governs Wu now, or should be said to occupy this place, is a man named Yan Hu from the noble family."

"To put it simply, they are just a group of landlords and thieves."

Sun Ce pulled the hood on his head, and glanced at some people dressed as officers and soldiers not far away with a displeased expression. He added in a low voice: "The local powerful clan is very powerful. There was once Emperor Han who implemented new policies. , but because of touching the interests of the powerful family, a rebellion broke out. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and even the imperial court can't do anything about them. The long-term division of the Central Plains has their handwriting in it."

"Don't talk about Bo Fu." Zhou Yu reminded Sun Ce in a low voice, and pushed me into Zhao Yun's arms by the way, and blocked me with his body.

Zhao Yun shook off the cloak that had been hanging on his arm, covered me in it all at once, wrapped his arms around my shoulders and whispered, "Don't make a sound."

I couldn't see what was going on behind me, but I saw my sister Sun who was pushed by Ling Tong and raised her hand to protect me. She made a booing gesture to me and motioned me to go through the gap beside Ling Tong who was blocking her. look.

I straightened my cloak, and secretly turned my head to look backward.

The few officers and soldiers who stood aside and seemed to be resting came towards us. They held weapons in their hands and walked a little carelessly. They were not good people at first glance.

"Hey, where's the face you haven't seen before, newcomer?" Among the few people, it seemed that the leader walked over carelessly and looked at Cao Pi who was not wearing a cloak.

If it was normal, Cao Pi would have exploded beans long ago, but today he was super calm, and replied as a matter of routine: "I just entered the city today, I don't know what you can do." He raised his chin slightly, his eyes were full of contempt for the officers and soldiers Like a ruffian.And Zhang Xi, who was right next to him, had already narrowed his eyes. As long as those officers and soldiers dared to touch his second son, he would be able to beat them all over, and then crush their heads with his feet.

The officers and soldiers are not stupid, and they can see that Cao Pi looks down on them.Relying on his own position, he said: "Ah! Don't you know that you want this when you go to the city?" The soldier rubbed his thumb and two fingers together a few times to see that he was asking for money.

When Cao Pi heard this, he laughed a few times and asked, "May I ask, is there a bridge toll for crossing the bridge? Is there also a store fee for entering the store? I want to drink water, do I still have to pay for drinking water?"

The officer and soldier couldn't turn his head around Cao Pi. After thinking for a while, he responded, "Yes! I have them all, bring them all!"

The younger brother behind him seemed smarter, and hurriedly whispered a few words to the officer boss, reminding him of what Cao Pi had ridiculed.

"You boy! Who do you think is in front of you! Get the money quickly! If you don't have any money, you can just take the two girls next to you to serve the brothers!"

The officer and soldier's words completely angered Zhao Yun and Sun Ce. If I hadn't hugged Zhao Yun, he was worried that I wouldn't dare to move. Zhou Yu pressed Sun Ce's shoulder, and the streets of Wucheng would have been splattered with blood on the spot.

It was rare for Cao Pi to get angry. He sneered and said, "Oh, your Excellency cares so much about my wife and concubine, but I don't want to give it to you, huh!"

Zhang He obeyed the order and stepped forward, clenched his hands into fists, and said with a smile, "If you want to break your arm, you still want to break your leg."

The officer was stunned when he heard this, and shouted with the weapon in his hand: "Hey, this kid won't cry when he sees the coffin. Brothers, let him see who is the boss in Wucheng!"

The officer and soldier's voice fell, but before Zhang He could act, a fire stick flew over not far away, and hit the officer's boss on the head. After being hit, he took several steps back and sat down on the ground.When the stick fell to the ground, the forehead of the boss of the officer and soldier turned red.

"Ouch! Who! Who hit the uncle!" The officers and soldiers roared angrily, and turned to look for them. Before they could clearly see who was coming, they saw the little brother beside him being kicked to the ground by a black shadow rushing over.

I only heard a cracking sound, and then the officer and soldier who was attacked let go of the gun in his hand, hugged his legs and curled up into a ball and howled.

The boss of the officers and soldiers jumped in shock, and looked at the people in front of them who were holding their weapons in a sweeping posture with a look of shock. ——It turned out to be a little girl who looked thin and small, not reaching the waist of his trousers, but with a rather cute face!

"Ye'er, don't be cruel." An anxious sound of stopping came from not far away, and the little girl wielding the gun paused after hearing that.She was just a little dazed, as if she was thinking about how not to be cruel.Just because she didn't pay attention for a moment, she was attacked by officers and soldiers who reacted. Fortunately, someone reacted quickly and grabbed the waving gun for her.

Sun Ce in front of me lowered his hood and whispered, "Wow, Gong Jin is angry, those guys are dead."

I heard the sound and hurriedly looked at Zhou Yu.

He grabbed the man's gun and smiled very gently, but what he said made me tremble uncontrollably.

Zhou Yu said: "It seems that Your Excellency wants to break his leg." After he finished speaking, he kicked his long leg forward, and there was another crackling sound, and another person hugged his leg and howled on the ground.

Neither Zhang He nor the little girl had a chance to attack our officers and soldiers. They all fell to the ground and wailed under Zhou Yu's smile. He asked with a smile, "Do you have any questions, Your Excellency?"

The leader of the officers and soldiers was directly frightened by his smiling face, and ran away screaming miserably.

"Well, it's a good thing to be brave, but what if the whereabouts are exposed?" The man who followed the little girl came up. He was wearing a bamboo hat, and there was a cloth in the hat to cover his face. It belongs to a young man.

After the little girl heard this, she threw the gun on the ground, bowed and said, "Young Master, don't get angry, it's Ye'er's fault. Go back and get the punishment."

After hearing this, the man in the bamboo hat waved his hands anxiously and said, "What are you talking about! Why are you punished? You are my sister, why are you punished!"

The little girl was taken aback after hearing this, frowned and did not answer.

The man in the bamboo hat seemed to have nothing to do with the little girl, so he turned his head and said to us: "Everyone, don't stay in this city, you have beaten the soldiers of the Yan family, and after a while, that person will bring someone back to arrest her. you guys."

Cao Pi bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you, what's your name?"

The man in the bamboo hat chuckled, lowered his head and patted the head of the stern-faced little girl who walked up to him, and replied with a smile: "I'm Xia Huang Ce, I don't know what your name is?"

"Picao."
