I don't know if Wei Tan coaxed me well or I was too tired today, after I lay down again, I fell into a deep sleep.
Shaking in the dream. For a while I dreamed that Wei Tan was holding me, and for a while I dreamed that Pei Qian took me away. The night was heavy and the fire was blazing. The boat couldn't get away anyway, Wu Kun chased after him with a stern face, holding a dagger in his hand, I was so frightened that I ran wildly, my back felt cold, and there was the sound of the blade piercing my bone. I turned around in surprise, but it wasn't me who was hit by the knife.
"...I'd rather owe you..." He still had a smile on his face, and said in a low voice.
I opened my eyes, the light was a little harsh. He was still lying in the cabin. The sound of gurgling water is broken and long.
There is only a thin quilt on her body, and there is no one around her.
I got up, opened the door and went out.
A Yuan was mending in the cabin, when he saw me, he got up quickly.
"Ma'am is awake." She came forward with a smile on her face.
The walls were opaque, so I asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost sunset." A Yuan said, "Madam slept for a long time."
I calculated the time, and it was indeed long enough.
"Where is your husband?" I asked again.
"The eldest son has gone to another boat." A Yuan said, "I'll fetch some water for my wife."
After washing up, I changed into a suit of clothes.
Although Wei Tan is a rough person, sometimes I am surprised when he becomes careful. For example, when he came to rescue someone, he thought of bringing me clothes. Although the tops and bottoms don't match well, I'm content with it. At this time yesterday, I was still worried about my life. Now that the nightmare is gone when I wake up, what makes me happier than this
I walked onto the deck and saw the setting sun slanting in the sky. Four large ships lined up on the river, all with full sails, and the surrounding hills were undulating and lush, still showing the appearance of the south.
"The eldest son is on the boat right now." A Yuan pointed it out to me.
I looked over and saw the sails standing tall, too far away, but I couldn't tell which figure was who. At this time, I saw Gong Yanggui and Wei An sitting in the boathouse and walking over.
Seeing me coming, Gong Yang bowed his head as a greeting, Wei An got up and bowed.
"Where is this?" I asked.
"Xin'an." Gong Yang said, "The journey is smooth and smooth, and tomorrow, it will be Runan."
I don't know where these place names are, so I nodded and looked at Wei An.
"Fourth Uncle, did you sleep well last night?" I asked.
Wei An nodded: "Okay."
I looked at him, these days, he was tanned under the sun every day, so he got much darker.
"It's boring on the boat. It would be great if the fourth uncle still had those hammers." I smiled.
Wei An pursed his lips and said, "Young Master Cui has not returned it to me yet."
Just know if there is a loan but no repayment. I thought. Speaking of which, Cui Yue and Wei An really seem to be confidants. When the two met, they couldn't finish talking, but it was a pity that after Cui Wen went there two or three times, he didn't show up again. It is said that he returned to Jingzhou.
Seeing Wei An looking out the window without saying a word, I couldn't bear to bring up sad things again, so I just let it go.
Although we have gotten rid of the pursuers, we are still in the south after all, and even if we stop sometimes, the boat will not dock. There was nothing to do on the boat. After eating, I sat on a pile of hemp ropes at the stern and watched the sun go down and the sky was full of red clouds.
Suddenly there was an extra piece of clothing on my body, I turned around, and Wei Tan was standing behind me.
He was in Ge Yibu, his face was dyed with the color of sunset, his eyes were bright and soft: "Why are you sitting here? There is a strong wind on the river."
I smiled: "The cabin is too stuffy, come out and sit."
The corners of Wei Tan's lips twitched, and he sat down next to me. While sitting, he took off the scarf around his waist and wiped the sweat from his head.
I looked at him, my eyes moved down slightly, under the open collar, the sweat was glowing with golden honey color on the firm skin.
"Does your husband change clothes?" I said.
"I'll go later." Wei Tan threw the wet towel aside, turned around and smiled at me, "Sit with my wife for my husband." After saying that, he grabbed my shoulder.
"The sergeant is watching..." I quickly broke his hand.
Wei Tan didn't care, and hugged him even tighter: "I'm so scared, they've seen me hug you last night."
There was a warmth flowing through my heart, soft as if mixed with honey. I am no longer persistent, maybe because of the setting sun, my ears are hot.
Wei Tan's arm is strong, I lean on it and look forward. I saw that the river was wide, and the wind carried the water waves like fish scales, shining golden light. Where the water and the sky meet, the shadow of the setting sun drags long on the water.
"How long will I have to wait on the river?" After a while, I asked in a comfortable mood.
"When we arrive in Runan tomorrow, we can rest." Wei Tan said.
I nodded: "And then go back to Yongdu?"
Wei Tan looked at me and smiled: "Let's not go back, Runan still has something to do."
He didn't seem to want to say much, and I don't know much about military affairs. After thinking for a moment, I asked Wei Tan: "I haven't asked my husband, is the family safe?"
Wei Tan's eyebrows seemed a little dark.
"Cousin Bo Liang and Wen Tong passed away," he said.
I was taken aback, Wei Xian and Wei Lang
The eye sockets were a little dry, I whispered: "How could this be?" They have always been respectful to me, Wei Xian and Zhu Shi both like children, Wei Lang likes to joke as much as Wei Ci, thinking of their voices, my eye sockets A burst of astringency.
"When my father fled from Qiling, the two of them broke up." Wei Tan took a deep breath and said slowly.
I am silent. At that time, although I left after a quick glance, the tragedy of the battle is self-evident. After getting off the boat last night, I didn't ask Wei Tan about what happened in Qiling that day, and I thought so too.
"Husband." After a while, I looked at him, "Why did you come to Yecheng?"
The wind blows slowly from the river, a group of sand gulls fly by in the distance, the sun is in the purple clouds, only the orange light shines through the cracks.
"Madam want to know?" Wei Tan looked at me mysteriously.
"Hmm." I nodded.
Wei Tan looked at the sky and said: "After the battle of Qiling, Liang and Wu divided the south of the Yangtze River equally, and Wu Kun won his wife and fourth younger brother. From my wife's point of view, if Wu Kun used his wife's fourth younger brother to force his father to back down, he would not like it the most. Who is it?"

"Liang Min." I said without thinking, and was taken aback for a moment.
"Is it Cui?" My eyes lit up.
Wei Tan smiled and did not deny it.
My mind turned quickly. The question came again, only Pei Qian knew about my escape, Cui? Why... At that moment, I thought of Wei An. Everything was in line, and it was the eve of Cui Yue's last visit to Wei An, and we set the time to escape.
Wei Tan said slowly: "When I arrived in Luoyang, I communicated with Ji Yuan. But he was inconvenient. At this time, Cui Yuan sent an envoy."
I understood, thinking that last night, if Wu Kun hadn't come suddenly, with Pei Qian's secret help, we might have been able to get out of the city smoothly. But things happened later, and it was really critical. Fortunately, Wei Tan arrived in time.
"Liang Min helped me wait, just to make Jiangdong feel bad?" I asked suspiciously, "They know that your husband is coming to Jiangdong, so what should they do if they set up an ambush?"
"Madam underestimated Liang Wen." Wei Tan said, "Father exchanged the three prefectures of Xin'an for Madam and Fourth Brother. If there is a mistake in the middle, they will not be able to get it."
"Three counties of Xin'an?" I was surprised, it turned out to be the case. But after thinking about it, Xin'an is a rich place, and Liang Wen got the three counties with a little convenience, which is not a bad deal.
"Madam also underestimated my husband." Wei Tan continued, "Before I met Wu Kun last night, only the people on this boat knew about my coming to Jiangdong. When I left Jiangdong, the boat was full of sails. I'll wear it sooner." After that, he smiled slyly and stroked my hair, "But when they arrive in Runan tomorrow, they will know."
I quickly got the clue; "Tomorrow? Husband is going to Runan to discuss the affairs of the three counties?"
"Yes." Wei Tan said.
I looked at him suspiciously: "The person who came to discuss is..."
"Cui?" Wei Tan hooked the corners of his lips.
