Seeing Wu Jiao, the young man seemed very surprised, and his tough expression changed instantly.
"Ajiao..." He hesitated.
Wu Jiao stared at him.
The young man looked displeased, and for a moment, put the sword back into its sheath, and made a "clang", showing that his anger was still there.
Wu Jiao looked around at the sergeant again with sharp eyes.
The sergeants also put away their weapons one after another.
Finally, she looked at Pei Qian.
Pei Qian never moved the blade, and stood there without moving.
"My cousin misunderstood a little and offended the general, but I hope that you will not be blamed."
"Who wants him to be magnanimous..." the young man said immediately, but Wu Jiao's eye knife flew again, and he stopped immediately.

His expression changed, and with a "hum", he turned the horse's head and kicked the horse's belly. There was another chaotic sound, the crowd of onlookers gave way one after another, and the young man galloped away.
Wu Jiao's expression was complicated, and soon he turned to Pei Qian.
"Thank you, my lady." Pei Qian bowed to her.
Wu Jiao blushed, a little embarrassed: "General, you don't need to be polite." After finishing speaking, he looked at me, "I heard that Mrs. Fu is also going to Yecheng?"
"Exactly." Pei Qian replied.
Wu Jiao smiled: "It's so good, I'm worried about having no one to accompany me on this journey, so how about Madam's car?"
I was surprised, and looked at Pei Qian, his face was also full of surprise.
"My lady," Pei Qian pondered, said, "Mrs. Fu is a member of the Wei family, and she is walking with her, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay." Wu Jiao hurriedly said, "I'm deeply ashamed that Mrs. Fu was injured because of poor hospitality. Now I'm going to Yecheng, and there are many inconveniences on the road, but I have someone who can take care of me when I go with my wife." After finishing speaking, she turned to me and smiled, "What do you think Ma'am?"
Another one who knows how to throw burdens.
I looked at her, pursed my lips, and said softly: "My lady is kind but disrespectful."
"That's it, it's settled." Wu Jiao looked at Pei Qian with a pleasant face, with a smile on his face.
The attendants dispersed the onlookers, and everyone was busy starting again.
"I'll send some soldiers to follow you. If anything happens, I'll be there right away." After I got into the carriage, Pei Qian came over and said to me.
I nodded and settled down a bit: "Yes."
"Who is that Lin Chong?" Gong Yanggui asked unhurriedly as he watched from the side.
"Lin Chong is a cousin of the Wu family." Pei Qian said, "He is serving as a deputy under the lord's command. He just arrived in Wancheng yesterday, and he also went to Yecheng together."
Gong Yanggui smiled, "He doesn't seem to like you."
Pei Qian glanced at him, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and did not answer.
The road to Yecheng was not difficult. After leaving Wancheng and walking for more than ten miles to the edge of Wanjiang River, there were only a dozen large boats lined up. The waterways in the south are crisscrossed, and I heard from the soldiers that after boarding the boat, they can go straight to Yecheng by the waterways.
The news is mixed. The good thing is that now the water is rich and the waves are small, and the big boat is more stable than a chariot. I don't have to worry about the heavy bumps. The bad thing is that Wu Jiao and I are in the same boat.
Although I agreed to go with Wu Jiao, but when I got on the boat, it was all her territory, I didn't have the guts. Before boarding the ship, I euphemistically said that I was on the same ship with my followers and did not want to be separated. Unexpectedly, Wu Jiao smiled amiably and let A Yuan and the others and the soldiers sent by Pei Qian board the boat.
Is it really all good intentions
Just when I was suspicious, Cui Yu came suddenly.
He was riding a horse, and leather belts were firmly wrapped around his lower body and stumped legs. My eyes lit up, it was the harness that Wei An made for him.
Looking at Wei An, he looked at Cui Wei, and then at the harness, a little dazed.
"I heard that there are too many people on this boat, so I specially invited the fourth son to be on the same boat with me." He said gently.
I looked at him, not knowing what he meant.
"Thank you, my lord, fourth uncle and concubine are on the same boat." I declined.
Cui Yue smiled, but looked at Wei An, and pointed to the river: "Fourth Young Master, can you see the boat?"
Wei An and I both looked over. Not far away, a large ship was slowly approaching. There is a building on it, which has three floors.
"Young Master, do you still remember that last year in Shanyang, you and I talked about the giant ship building? That ship was built according to the method discussed that day. Would you like to have a look at it?"
Wei An's eyes lit up, he didn't speak, but looked at me.
I feel my forehead swells slightly.
"Fourth Uncle can't be separated from us." I repeated, looking at Wei An.
Wei An's eyes dimmed slightly, and he turned to Cui Wei: "I won't go."
Cui Yue opened his mouth and was about to speak again when Wu Jiao's voice suddenly sounded: "Is that the building built by the military division?" Slowly said: "I have heard for a long time that the military division is highly talented. I want to take a look on the upstairs ship. I wonder if it is possible?"
The wind on the river was very strong, the two rows of oars of the building boat cut through the water waves with all their strength, the sound was like beating drums, and the huge hull slowly left the shore.
I stood on the cabin on the second floor, the windows were open, and I could see the river view and the figures on the deck at a glance. Among the group of boatmen and soldiers, the most conspicuous ones are Cui Wei and Wei An.
Cui Yue was sitting on the cart, and seemed to be explaining a side of a ship to Wei An, and Wei An was standing beside him, looking like he had been silent all the time.
A Yuan put the mattress on the deck of the cabin, and I sat on it, glancing at Wu Jiao on the other side.
Unexpectedly, she also looked at me.
"Is there still a mat?" She asked the maid beside her.
The maid nodded: "Yes."
"Bring it here." Wu Jiao said.
When the mattress was brought, Wu Jiao also entered the cabin, asked the maid to spread across from me, and sat down.
The room was silent.
I was about to look away when Wu Jiao said, "You have a lot of followers."
She looked at the three people standing on the deck below. Wei Jiao and Uncle Huang were talking to the guarding soldiers, and Gong Yang folded his arms to one side, as if he was watching the scenery.
"I was in a hurry on the road, and they were all familiar people." I said.
"Really." Wu Jiao smiled, "Congren also use swords, the Wei family is really rich."
I knew she was referring to Gong Yanggui, so I didn't explain, and said with a smile: "The lady is too famous."
Wu Jiao said again: "There is also the fourth son. I heard that the prime minister's sons are all dragons and phoenixes. It turns out that carpenters are also considered capable."
These words were thorny, and I wasn't angry, I calmed down and said, "Fourth Uncle has an ingenious mind. He once shot Liang Heng's son Liang Heng to death with an arrow in Huaiyang. I think I have heard about it."
Wu Jiao didn't take it seriously, and turned to ask: "Madam, what do you think of this building boat?"
"Very good." I said.
Wu Jiao smiled: "My elder brother also wants to build a building ship, but unfortunately the wars are frequent, and the shipbuilders are too busy, and there is no one like Junshi Cui to help."
I don't understand these, said: "That's it."
"Madam, do you know what buildings and boats are used for?" Wu Jiao said again, staring at me, "Buildings and boats are invincible, ramming, throwing stones, and transporting troops. The stronghold was destroyed in one fell swoop."
Such words have some background, I have a premonition that I haven't finished speaking, so I don't answer.
"Madam is not worried about your husband?" Sure enough, Wu Jiao changed the topic.
My heart moved slightly.
"There's no reason not to worry about couples getting married," I said.
"Having hair?" Wu Jiao frowned, and said leisurely, "Master Ji Yuan was also involved in the battle of Qiling. If Madam sees him fighting with the eldest son, who will she help?"
With a "snap", A Yuan next to me dropped the water bag by mistake. She quickly picked it up and looked at me apologetically.
I calmed my mind secretly, and said to Wu Jiao indifferently: "This is a private matter of my concubine, and has nothing to do with the queen."
Wu Jiao looked at me mockingly, picked up a candied fruit, and turned away.
I couldn't like this person, but obviously, she didn't like me either.
When she couldn't sit for a long time, she got up and walked out. But just when I thought she disdained sharing the same cabin with me, she walked in again not long after.
"Come here, fetch the bedding." She didn't even look at me, "I want to sleep."
The road to Yecheng can be said to be smooth and smooth. After staying on the boat for one night, and traveling for half a day the next day, he had already entered the boundary of Yecheng.
Along the way, Wu Jiao didn't make things difficult for me, and said very little to me. But one thing is strange, she obviously doesn't like me, but let me stay in the cabin.
Life on the boat is monotonous. Apart from sitting and walking, what I do most is hold the window and look at the river view. And every time I look back, I can find Wu Jiao looking at me without any suspense.
"Ma'am." A Yuan poked me with his elbow.
I looked at her, but she winked and lowered her voice: "That Miss Wu just learned from you."
"Learn from me?" I was surprised.
"She imitated you to brush your temples."
I don't know why, and smiled: "It's just brushing your temples, who can't?"
"You're different." A Yuan said, "You hold your little finger up and use your four fingers to carry it back... Well, like this..."
I:"… "
Even though I felt that A Yuan was exaggerating, I was more careful. I wanted to touch my abdomen several times, but I held back, lest Wu Jiao would see the clue.
Wei An never came back, but according to A Yuan Wangwang, he has been with Cui? Last night, the two even talked with the lights on.
"How can the Fourth Young Master appreciate Young Master Cui? That's an enemy." A Yuan frowned.
I also have some worries in my heart. Cui? Although I don't know much about it, I know that he can help Liang Min to separate himself from one side. He must not be a simple person. And Wei An is simple-minded, Cui? He can arouse Wei An's interest with a boat. I'm afraid that if Cui
When they finally arrived in Yecheng, they saw the clear sky, the shore was busy and crowded with people.
After the boat stopped, the boatman set up wooden planks as a bridge.
Wei An stood beside me. When Cui Yue reached the side of the boat, he turned his head and smiled at him, and the servant carried him down. When walking on the plank, Wei An kept looking at him, as if he was a little worried.
"Did Fourth Uncle sleep well last night?" I interrupted and asked.
"Well, good," he said.
fine? I looked at his blue lower eyelids and smiled: "Did Mr. Cui ever return the hammer and chisel?"
Wei An shook his head: "No, he said he would borrow some time."
really.
"Fourth Uncle," I said softly, "Don't forget that Mr. Cui is Liang Min's military adviser."
Wei An looked at me with clear eyes.
"Um."
"Huh?" I was surprised.
"Sister-in-law," Wei An said earnestly, "You said that when a group of heroes fight a war, each is the master; elder brother said that if you owe money and pay off your debts, you can settle your grievances. Shipbuilding. When I build a large ship in the future and win him again, we will owe each other nothing."
"Those four young masters have to go back to Yongdu to be counted." At this time, Gong Yanggui interrupted in a low voice, pointing to the carriages and horses under the boat, "Wu Kun is here."
