Morning.

The first ray of morning light passed over the river and fell on the bricks and tiles of the warehouses at Xunyangdu Wharf.

"Bang--!"

With the shouts and cooperation of the boatman and the clerk on the shore, the big boat docked at the shore.

On the deck, Wei Wu turned around and walked down the deck.

Wave after wave of the river lapped against the shore and the big boat.

When we got off the boat, the boy who was placing wooden planks on the shore became unsteady. He staggered a few steps and was about to fall into the water. At the critical moment, he was stopped by a steady hand.

"Thank you, thank you sir."

The boy was stunned, took a clear look at Wei Wu's resolute face, and thanked him.

Wei Wu passed by him, just did it casually, jumped off the boat without saying a word, and landed steadily.

The young man couldn't help but glance at the back of the strong man in a suit with a Chinese character face.

This person seems to be a distinguished guest from Luoyang in Guanzhong. He has an accent from Luoyang. He boarded the ship in Yangzhou and brought only two boys with him.

However, for some reason, there is a white cloth belt on the head.

Seems a little unlucky.

Many boat passengers dare not approach it.

This strong man with a Chinese-style face and a soft suit and two cold-faced young men remained silent all the way, making him a bit out of place among the fellow passengers.

"Um, sir, the Xunyang City side is dangerous now and is close to the front line. It's not like the Yangzhou side. Some Jianghu rebels are wanted here. They also hijacked water transporting grain ships before. Now all civilian ships are

You are not allowed to cross the Hukou County section of the Yangtze River."

The young man gave a warm reminder: "So when you arrive, remember to report to the government to avoid being caught by mistake. In addition, our ship will return to Yangzhou in the afternoon. If you want to leave, don't miss the time..."

Wei Wu did not look back.

He nodded slightly.

He looked around Xunyang Ferry.

The previous passenger ship passed the ferry at Xunyang Grottoes, but was not allowed to disembark. The ferry at Xunyang Grottoes is currently closed. Only official ships carrying special documents can enter. I heard that it was the Supervisory Yuan and Jiangzhou Governor Ouyang Liang.

The rules set by John.

Just walked out of the pier.

A Xianbei guard who had been waiting for a long time immediately came over, took out a secret report, and held it in both hands.

"Master Wu."

Both of them were in a busy city, surrounded by busy traffic.

Wei Wu did not stop. After receiving the secret report, he walked forward and glanced at it.

"This morning, just now, the governor Ouyang Lianghan, the chief minister Yuan Huaimin and others visited the Xunyang Prince's Mansion in Xiushuifang. It seemed that they wanted to invite Prince Xunyang and his son to leave the city for a meeting at the Xunyang Grottoes.

"Over at the Xunyang Grottoes, Rong Nu Shi, Miao Nu Shi and the newly arrived Commander Yi are all there too..."

The Xianbei guards followed, whispering.

Wei Wu didn't even raise his eyes.

"Where's the princess?"

he asked.

The Xianbei guard was stunned:

"I'm...at my house in Xunyangfang. I'm going to Kuanglu Mountain to worship Buddha this morning..."

"take me."

"Yes, Master Wu..."

"Change your name."

"Wu Guanshi."

The Xianbei guards responded quickly.

Wei Wu said nothing more.

The two of them mounted their horses and drove away together.

Not long after, in front of a mansion, a Princess's carriage that was about to leave was blocked.

Wei Anhui, who was sitting quietly inside the carriage curtain, seemed to have noticed something strange about the carriage, so he opened the curtain first and took a look outside.

"Uncle Wu?"

She spoke subconsciously.

"Your Highness the Princess."

Wei Wu nodded, got on the carriage, and glanced at the coachman:

"I'll do it."

"yes."

The coachman left on his own initiative and handed over the reins.

It was obvious that he knew this person. The handsome man with a handsome face had high prestige among the two royal palaces of the Wei family.

Wei Wu sat down cross-legged, picked up the reins of the coachman again, and said calmly while steering the carriage:

"Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a long time."

"What have you been waiting for?"

Wei Anhui asked curiously:

"Have you stayed in Jiangzhou for a long time? It's okay. You're used to it. My father is right. I should stay in mourning."

At this point, she sighed softly.

Wei Wu looked back and saw that inside the car curtain, the apple of Prince Liang's palace was wearing a white mourning dress. Although she had a round face and the appearance of an ordinary woman, she was slightly thinner and petite, but she was "female".

You have to look pretty." I feel pity for you when I see this frail look.

Wei Wu avoided looking at anything inappropriate and said dullly:

"The prince sent us two. Before leaving the capital, His Royal Highness Prince Liang asked me to bring a message, saying that Princess Anhui has worked hard, but for the sake of the reputation of the Wei family and the family's rituals, we still have to stay for a while longer.

.”

Wei Anhui's face looked neither happy nor worried:

"Are you going to stay for a while longer..."

Sighing slightly, she looked out the window.

In the depths of his eyes that reflected the distant mountains, he didn't know whether he was feeling relieved or feeling sad again.

Wei Wu said seriously:

"When the time comes, I will personally escort the princess back to Beijing."

Wei Anhui glanced at the back of the stern-faced man outside.

This man named Wei Wu was a follower of the uncle of the King of Wei. He followed him all the year round. It seems that he was born into the Wei family and was given the surname Wei.

He has been in the family for a long time, so Wei Anhui's generation, including his late cousin Wei Shaoxuan, Wei Shaoqi and others, he has watched grow up and are familiar with him, so they call him quite affectionately.

His Uncle Wu.

However, this Uncle Wu kept a low profile in the two palaces of the Wei family. He always followed Uncle Wei like a shadow and had a very close relationship. Uncle Wu even told Uncle Wei some things that no one in the Wei clan could say.

, but will be adopted.

Not like an outsider at all.

"Okay. Then it will be hard work for Uncle Wu."

Wei Anhui smiled sheepishly, his eyes turning into crescent moons.

"During these days, the princess has not been wronged in Xunyang City, right?"

Wei Wu turned around, drove the carriage, and asked sternly.

"No." Wei Anhui shook his head: "How can I be wronged?"

"I heard that Rong Zhen's daughter Shi often accompanies the princess."

"Well, Sister Rong is such a nice person. She is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She is just not good at words and difficult for outsiders to get in touch with. But she actually has a good temper on the inside. She is like a big sister and has always taken care of me..."

Wei Anhui talked endlessly and smiled sweetly.

Wei Wu listened for a while and interrupted:

"The prince of Xunyang Palace didn't come to see you again, did he?"
