Hua Zhi did not stay in Zhenyang any longer. She did not care about the injuries all over her body which made her feel as if she was being torn apart every time she took a step. She checked out and left early the next morning.
"Big girl, big girl, wait a minute!"
This voice has become very familiar these days. Hua Zhi stood at the bow and looked at the person who ran aboard with a package on his back, "Mr. Jiang, what is this..."
"I don't have anything to do anyway, so it doesn't matter if I return early or late. I'll just take advantage of the big girl's ride."
After fighting the enemy side by side, Hua Zhi knew that Jiang Huanran was different from the young masters of the aristocratic families in Beijing. Even though he was not enthusiastic, he was no longer as cold as before. She nodded and said, "The ship is big and there are many empty rooms. You can do whatever you want, Mr. Jiang."
"Thank you, young lady." Jiang Huanran smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, but he didn't look annoying.
Hua Zhi smiled, turned around and slowly walked towards the cabin.
As soon as she turned her back, Jiang Huanran took a deep breath, his facial features wrinkled. After running just now, the wounds on his body seemed to have split open, and it was really painful. The girl's injuries were obviously more serious than his, but she didn't show any sign at all. He admired her very much just thinking about it.
Who could have imagined that? A girl who was also raised in seclusion, while those girls felt their hands hurt when embroidering flowers, the eldest girl was fighting for life and death. He encountered it once when he came out. Who knows if she had experienced it before in the year after the fall of the Hua family.
Even if he tells others about it after he gets back, he's afraid no one will believe it. It's better not to believe it, it's better not to believe it. He doesn't want to tell anyone about it. The fewer people know about the girl's unusualness, the better. When he gets back, he will ask his mother to propose marriage!
With thoughts turning over in his mind and thinking about good things, Jiang Huanran grinned again, and the wound seemed to be less painful.
It takes two and a half days to walk from Zhenyang to Jiangling. During this time, Hua Zhi did not step out of the door. Except for resting, Xiao Liu stayed with Hua Zhi most of the time. Hua Zhi would talk to him from time to time. It was not a rigid preaching, but more of an example.
The Gu family has ruled the world for nearly two hundred years, and the fact that they still have a stable empire shows at least that the Gu family members are not stupid. Xiaoliu is especially smart, and he has an advantage that others can't match: he is very good at summarizing. Every time Hua Zhi finishes talking about an example, he can quickly extract the essence from it, and that is exactly what the example wants to express.
Hua Zhi felt a great sense of accomplishment teaching such smart students, and she didn't think there was anything shameful about it. She let them listen, whether it was Wu Xiaoshuang who was waiting outside the door or Jiang Huanran who often came over. She didn't care what they could hear.
The ship anchored at Gangneung Inner Harbor as expected.
Shaoyao could no longer hold back her temper after several days, and she looked murderous, as if she was ready to bite anyone at any time. Whenever Jiang Huanran saw this girl who always covered her face with a veil, he would avoid her.
"Cao Cao, your trip is for official business. I don't have the right to go, so I won't go."
Shaoyao nodded immediately, "You should take good care of your injuries. I didn't intend to let you go. Xiaoliu, come with me. I will show you how the Seven Constellations act!"
Hua Zhi frowned but didn't stop him. She thought it would be good to watch. A bird kept in a golden cage couldn't withstand a storm.
Regardless of the impact this matter would bring, Shaoyao did not want to wait any longer. She strung the kidnapped people together and drove them off the boat and headed straight for the General's Mansion. Yu Tao followed her order and went outside the city to invite Li Shiren, the garrison commander.
Only Baoxia, Xu Ying and Jiang Huanran were left on the boat. Even Wu Xiaoshuang was taken away by the Sixth Prince. During these three days, he had already known that this child, who was younger than him, would be his future master.
Jiang Huanran stood at the bow and watched everyone leave with a solemn expression. He vaguely saw something, but he was not sure, and did not dare to be sure. If it was really as he guessed, the Hua family...
Inside the house, Baoxia asked Xu Ying to guard outside and told him not to leave for a moment, then she carefully closed the door. She was really worried about the men on the boat.
"Miss, why did you reject Miss Shaoyao's proposal? It would be fine if you could just keep any one of those guards."
"Peony needs help more than I do, and she left something for me to defend myself. That's enough. Go tell the captain to weigh the anchor and let the ship leave the shore, but don't go too far."
Bao Xia looked confused, "I don't understand..."
"Just in case." Hua Zhi was used to making the worst-case scenario plans. The boat had left the shore. If the other party knew that this boat belonged to Cao Cao's companions and wanted to hold her hostage and threaten Qi Su Si, she could leave immediately and let Cao Cao have no worries. The boat was not far from the shore, so if Cao Cao needed help, she would be able to pick him up in time.
Considering the deterrence of the Seven Stars Division in the Daqing Dynasty, I don't think it will come to this.
Shaoyao has already arrived at the General Manager's Mansion. "Beat the drum."
Yu Tao stepped forward and took the drumstick, concentrating all his strength in his arms. Each blow was louder and louder than the last, and the drum broke after the ninth blow.
Soon someone came out and opened his mouth to shout menacingly, but he became timid when he saw so many people outside. Then he saw that the drum was broken and he could not use any more power. He took a step back and stood firm, then asked tremblingly, "Who are you and why are you beating the drum?"
The drum in the General Manager's Mansion has been placed outside for many years. It would rarely be sounded, let alone once a year, even once in ten years. Most people cannot afford that price.
Shaoyao pushed Zheng Bei forward with all her strength, and he fell to the ground just two steps away from the servant. Shaoyao didn't need to say anything else, Zheng Bei immediately rolled over and cried, "Manager Wen, it's me, Manager Wen, these people want to kill me, please save me, save me..."
Manager Wen wanted to avoid it but because he recognized the sound, he was tackled. He took two steps back with the help of the person before he managed to stand firmly. "Uncle? Are you my uncle? Hey, what's going on? What's going on? How did it become like this?"
Zheng Bei's appearance at this moment was indeed a bit miserable. It would be polite to describe him as having a bruised face and nose. His face was swollen and shiny, as if the skin would break and something would ooze out if touched. His hair was disheveled, and he looked as miserable as could be.
At this time, the palace soldiers who were a step slower also came out. When they saw the current situation, they drew their swords and became alert.
Shaoyao snorted coldly and whipped Zheng Bei back with a whip, "Call Mu Yunyang out."
Manager Wen did not dare to delay and went back immediately to ask for help.
Mu Yunyang, who was in his early fifties and had a neatly trimmed short beard, came quickly. Accompanying him was his beautiful step-wife Zheng, whom he had married only a few years ago. It was obvious that he did not do anything serious in broad daylight.
Zheng anxiously searched for someone in the crowd, "Xiaobei, Xiaobei, where are you?"
Shaoyao whipped Zheng Bei and sent him in front of her, but she did it by rolling.
Zheng was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still managed to keep her composure. She covered her mouth and suppressed her scream. When she saw her brother's appearance, she burst into tears, "Xiaobei, my God, Xiaobei... Master, please look at this..."
