Wei Tan looked at Wu Kun, and said in a deep voice to the left and right: "Prepare for battle!"
The soldiers returned to their positions in an orderly manner. Cheng Mao came over and said: "Our ship is Jiangdong Banner, and they may not know the details."
Wei Tan pondered and said, "Let's take one step at a time and go up to meet him."
Cheng Mao agreed.
Wei Tan looked at me: "Madam and fourth brother enter the cabin."
Although I was uneasy, but knowing that I would only get in the way here, I could only nod my head.
The soldiers opened the cabin door, Wei Jiao helped Uncle Huang go down first, Wei An followed closely behind, and A Yuan came to meet me again at the bottom of the cabin. Wei Tan helped me down the ladder, and when I was about to land, I looked up at him: "Husband, be careful."
Wei Tan lowered his head, with a smile on his lips: "Don't worry."
The hatch is closed to cover everything outside. I stood for a while before turning my head. Oil lamps were lit in the cabin, and both A Yuan and Wei An looked at me.

"Brother is not afraid of anything." Wei An seemed to feel that he should comfort me, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry."
I nodded, still full of thoughts.
The cabin was a bit stuffy, no one spoke, and sometimes someone ran past on the deck, making a "dong dong" sound. In addition, there is the sound of long oars fighting against the water waves.
"Sit down, madam." A Yuan persuaded.
I shook my head and was about to speak when the hatch above my head suddenly opened.
The ram stood on the top, looked at me, and sighed for a moment: "I knew you would be at the bottom."
"Quickly close the hatch!" On the deck, someone came to stop it.
Gong Yanggui didn't take it seriously, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'll stay here. Your young lady is unwell and needs to breathe. If you don't believe me, ask Wei Bianque." After finishing speaking, he poked his neck into the cabin, "Really, Wei Bian Que?"
"Yes! Exactly!" Wei Jiao seemed to be very satisfied with Gong Yanggui's change of address, smiling happily.
The soldiers no longer obstructed.
"What's going on ahead? Where's my husband?" I was not in the mood to watch their jokes, so I asked.
"Your husband is at the bow."
"Are the ships approaching?" I asked.
Gong Yanggui looked around: "It's close." After a while, he frowned slightly, "But I'm afraid it's not good. The three ships are setting up the formation, and they seem to know us."
My heart sank: "Will we fight?"
Gong Yanggui thought for a while, but shook his head: "I don't think so."
I froze.
Gong Yanggui looked at me meaningfully: "Come up and see?"
The boat stopped.
"Meng Jing." Pei Qian's voice came from the front, neither high nor low, calm and composed.
I hid in the shadow of the boat house near the cabin door. Although I was a little far away, my ears were always sensitive to Pei Qian's voice.
"Ji Yuan." Wei Tan said, also as usual. If I hadn't seen the confrontation ahead, I would almost have thought that they met and said hello on the road of acquaintances.
"Meng Jing came all the way, why did he leave in such a hurry?"
"I can't go." Wei Tan said in a relaxed tone, "Jiangdong is coming, and I will wait for the small family to pass by, so I dare not stay for a long time."
Pei Qian ignored his lip service, and said, "Meng Jing not only passed by, but also took away my Lord of Jiangdong, Qian came here to ask for it."
"Oh?" Wei Tan's voice was still lifeless, "What if I don't give it?"
Hearing the sound of a weapon being unsheathed, the atmosphere immediately froze.
"Meng Jing, don't blame me for taking it by force."
Wei Tan sneered: "You should look behind you."
I couldn't understand, so I asked Wei An and Gong Yanggui, who were watching from the side, "What's wrong?"
"Your husband is really good." Gong Yanggui said with interest while raising his eyes, "He also brought another military boat, which has been hidden behind Pei Qian and only now comes out. One, two, three... also three."
"I said earlier that my brother is very strong." Wei An added lightly.
With peace of mind, I also want to follow them to look around, but I feel a little sad when I think that it is Pei Qian who is confronting me in front of me.
"Will my husband return Wu Kun?" I asked.
"What's the exchange?" Wei An said.
But Gong Yanggui looked at me for a moment and said, "It depends on what your husband thinks."
I was surprised and wanted to ask clearly, but I heard that Pei Qian had already spoken.
"Meng Jing is really good at planning." Pei Qian's voice could not detect emotion.
"When you're away from home, it won't hurt to pay more attention." Wei Tan took it easy.
"Meng Jing, don't forget, this is the boundary of Jiangdong. If you fight here, even if Meng Jing wins, it will be difficult for the wrecked boat to sink."
"What Ji Yuan said is very much to my liking, why don't I make a deal. Ji Yuan withdraws first, and after I go ten miles first, I will return your lord in a small boat, how about it?"
Pei Qian smiled: "Isn't Meng Jing's business overbearing? If you go ahead and don't pay back, what should I do?"
"This is the boundary of Jiangdong." Wei Tan's attitude was more like a rascal than anything I had ever seen before, "And your lord is in my hands."
Pei Qian was silent for a while, and said, "I want to see the lord."
Footsteps sounded, and soon after, Wu Kun's furious voice sounded, as if being escorted out: "Pei Qian! Kill him! You kill him!"
Pei Qian seemed to have never heard of it.
"I'll just withdraw two boats and follow you," he said.
"Good." Wei Tan said lightly.
The sails are full and the wind is blowing. Even if I can't see the river clearly, I can feel the speed of the boat.
After traveling for a while, the sails were retracted and the ship stopped again. A small boat was lowered, the soldiers said hello, and the rope in Wu Kun's hand was untied.
"I have wronged the general." I saw Wei Tan walking in front of Wu Kun.
Wu Kun looked at him, his stern look had calmed down before, but he smiled coldly.
"I will lead the Jiangdong army to attack Yongzhou."
Wei Tan didn't seem to take it seriously: "If we can fight again, I really look forward to it."
"Young master, you can go down." The soldier said.
Wei Tan nodded.
The soldiers tied the rope to Wu Kun's body and let him down.
"Do you know?" When Wu Kun was about to go down, he suddenly turned around and smiled darkly, "Your wife tastes good."
There was a "boom" in my head, and I was so angry that I was about to step forward, but was held down by the ram.
He shook his head at me.
Only Wei Tan's voice remained the same: "General, next time you ride with a woman, don't let a dagger rob you."
The sails were up again, and the wind was stronger than before, blowing my hair. The cloud covered the moon again, and the boat following behind and the figure on it seemed to be drifting away along the current, getting farther and farther away.
There are many voices around, some people are walking, some are running, some are talking, some are laughing.
I was still sitting in the corner, feeling cool.
"Go to the cabin." Gong Yanggui looked down at me.
I looked at him and wanted to stand up, but I couldn't use any strength in my body. For a moment, I shook my head.
Humiliation, anger, when I did it earlier, I just wanted to escape, so I didn't care too much.
I should have thought of that earlier. I said in my heart.
But another voice said again, Wu Kun is barking like a dog, isn't it ridiculous that he wants to feel sad in secret because of some nonsense
"He's here." Gong Yanggui said suddenly.
Following his gaze, Wei Tan was standing more than ten feet away.
"Brother." Wei An greeted knowingly.
Gong Yanggui nodded at him, looked at me without saying anything, and walked away with Wei An.
I stared fixedly at Wei Tan, and suddenly felt very wronged, as if holding something in my heart, my nose was sour, and tears welled up.
"Why are you crying again?" Wei Tan came over with a helpless tone, "What are you doing sitting here?" He said, reaching out to pull me.
Annoyed, I pushed his hand away.
"What's wrong?" Wei Tan knelt down/body, and held my arm.
I struggled and pounded hard on his shoulders and chest.
"Why didn't you come earlier..." I choked up, as if I wanted to vent out the grievances accumulated in my heart, "Why didn't you come earlier..."
Wei Tan's eyes were dark and he didn't avoid it.
"I'm sorry for you." He said in a low voice.
But hearing this, I was even more annoyed, and pushed him: "Go away!"
Wei Tan's body was pushed up, but he didn't leave.
"Go away!" I pushed harder.
Wei Tan stared at me and said softly, "Do you really want me to go?"
My shoulders twitched and I choked.
Wei Tan stood up.
Seeing that figure was about to walk away, my tears became more violent, and I angrily grabbed a piece of hemp rope next to him and threw it at him: "You...you really go!"
Wei Tan: "..."
The couch rocked slightly with the boat, and under the pillow, the sound of running water was gurgling, not quiet, but the heart was very peaceful.
Anger venting is like a storm, it comes and goes quickly. So much so that when I thought about it afterwards, I felt that it was an evil fire that burned my brain.
After that beating, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wei Tan carried me into the cabin.
He put me on the couch and sat beside him.
The light was dim, and the two looked at each other.
I still have a lump in my throat and gasp from time to time.
"Why don't you talk..." I whispered stiffly. Although I also felt a little embarrassed just now, it is impossible for me to relax immediately after such a big fight.
"Madam doesn't speak, how dare a husband speak first." Wei Tan said.
I glared at him.
Wei Tan suddenly laughed.
"What a child." He stroked my hair, "Wu Kun's lies have turned into truth."
I didn't say a word, I took his hand and held it in my palm.
"Do you believe it?" I whispered, staring at him.
"I don't believe it." Wei Tan's expression remained unchanged.
"Why?"
Wei Tan pulled up the thin quilt on the couch for me, and said, "Gong Yanggui and Wei Jiao both told me about it."
Gong Yanggui and Wei Jiao? I was stunned for a moment, feeling a little relieved, but after a while, I cursed again, these two long-tongued men...
"How do you know they are telling the truth?"
"The fourth brother also said."
I:"… "
"What if the concubine even bought the fourth uncle?" I continued.
Wei Tan looked at me with a wry smile. He suddenly leaned over and hugged me in his arms. The warm breath sticks to the ears and neck, which is so familiar that it makes one's heart soften.
"If you buy it, you can buy it, as long as you come back."
My heart seemed to be caught by something, my eyes were moist, and I also stretched out my hand, gently stroking his back.
Either truth or lies. I listened to the sound of the heartbeat, one up and one down with me, sticking very close.
"I didn't mean it, I was just afraid..." I leaned on his shoulder and whispered.
The arm tightened, Wei Tan said: "Don't be afraid, I will never let you leave again."
