Although the smell of medicine is always strong at home, Song Huiyue is jumping up and down like a monkey. She is strong and healthy, but she has no intention of catching a cold. She can eat and drink. Looking at the bowl of chicken soup, she really feels hungry in her belly.
, took it in his hand, raised his head, and drank it.
Finally, she wiped her mouth and said, "I'm leaving."
Tan Ran stood at the door and couldn't help but said: "Madam, come back soon."
Although he has not been in the Song family for a long time, he knows very well that Song Huiyue has the final say in major matters and Mrs. Song has the final say in minor matters.
If the eldest lady is not at home for a long time, he can't help but feel flustered.
Song Huiyue walked past him: "The pickled cabbage buns are also good. Try them. Don't always make them pork and green onions."
Tan Ran immediately said: "It contains more sauerkraut and less pork. Pork and green onions are more cost-effective."
By the time he finished speaking, Song Huiyue and Yinxiao had already strode to the dock.
The dark night illuminated Song Huiyue’s master and servant into two wandering ghosts, one big and one small.
In the winter when there was a lack of sunshine, Yin Xiao's skin color was no longer dark, but turned into a warm wheat color. The bloated cotton robe he wore on his body was straight and neat. He was a handsome wandering soul.
Song Huiyue, on the other hand, has a small white face and two big eyes that shine brightly in the dark night, and she couldn't be more beautiful with a sharp and murderous aura.
Hundreds of boats were moored quietly on the pier, swaying slightly with the water waves. It was the end of the fourth watch, everything was dormant, and there was silence.
Hou Er led four guards and waited on the pier. When he saw Song Huiyue and his two men arriving, he blew his whistle, and a passenger ship immediately approached and lowered its stern.
The cockpit was set up on the pier, and Song Huiyue got on the ship. There were several large camphor wood boxes in the cabin. There was a wooden ladder at the stern, and there were guest rooms above for rest.
After everyone got on the boat, Hou Er said hello again, and the boatman put away the cockpit and pushed the boat out.
On the surface it is said to be going to Hebei Road, but in fact after leaving Kyoto, we will go to Hedong Road. If the wind goes smoothly, we can reach Zezhou in just one day.
There is no need to stop at the pier along the way.
By noon, the boat had entered the Hedong Road boundary. The river was turbulent and there was nothing to see. The boats passing along the way were also coming and going in a hurry.
Song Huiyue was sitting in the boat, yawning with her mouth open, when suddenly there was a "bang" and the boat shook violently and stopped moving.
Song Huiyue almost bit her tongue, quickly closed her mouth, stood up holding the box and walked out.
It turned out to be a passenger ship going to Kyoto. From the ship to the boatman, everything was brand new, and the person at the helm was probably a quickie. At the slightest storm, he panicked, ran rampant on the river, and plunged into the passenger ship hired by Song Huiyue.
embrace.
Because the other party was a new ship and very strong, it cracked the victim ship.
The ship here suffered an unreasonable disaster. The boatman and the owner cursed together, and the words were very sharp. They scolded the other party completely, and because of the injustice, they could not retaliate.
In the end, Hou Er stepped forward to break up the fight, and the other party gave up after paying enough money.
Hou Er asked the boatman to push the boat open first and let the new boat pass first. The new boat thanked him, set sail and continued its journey. In less than a moment, it plunged into the yellow mud on the shore.
The scene was so horrific that Hou Er asked the boat owner to leave quickly, lest the boat turn around again and smash them into pieces.
It was just that after the boatman saw the cracks on the hull, he told Hou Er that he had to stop at the nearest Huanggu Pier to repair the cracks.
Huanggu Wharf was originally called Xingu Wharf. It was a small wharf. Later, more and more ships came and went. This small wharf could not bear such a large number of passengers, so another Dagu Wharf was built. This small wharf became increasingly deserted.
It was called Huanggu Wharf.
There are still people on the pier, but they are sparsely populated. It is still no problem to have a cup of tea.
There were also vendors on the pier. The cockpit was lowered and the people on the boat got off the boat. Only then did the sleepy vendors regain their energy. The one carrying sugar water walked the fastest. The two buckets swayed one after another, and then they sold northern tofu.
They also chased out, and those selling fried beans, roasted chestnuts, and those selling large bowls of tea also rushed over.
When the man selling sugar water came over, Yin Xiao felt something was wrong and immediately blocked Song Huiyue behind him: "Get on the boat!"
Song Huiyue ran back without saying anything. The sugar water seller picked up a wooden bucket and threw it over, causing the bucket to fall into the water.
At the same time, this man jumped up, avoiding Yin Xiao, and killed the two boatmen who got off the boat first. Then he used the stone steps of the pier to jump onto the boat and kill the other boatmen.
The palace guards quickly drew their swords to stop him.
The change only happened in the blink of an eye. Hou Er had already expected that there would be an ambush and did not panic. He drew his knife in his hand and protected Song Huiyue with Yin Xiao one after another. At the same time, he went on a killing spree, killing the fake vendors one by one.
Finished.
In less than a moment, the peaceful scene on the dock turned into a bloody storm.
The corpse fell into a pool of blood, poles, buckets and other objects were scattered on the floor. The fried beans turned into blood beans, and the tofu became blood tofu.
The remaining boatmen on the boat were about to tie the ropes and get off the boat, but they didn't know that they had escaped disaster because of their delay, and their faces turned pale with shock.
Hou Er held up his knife and touched the person who struck first, but found nothing. Then he carefully looked at the person's face and saw that there was a deep mark on his forehead, which was the mark left by wearing a helmet all the time.
Once he touched the cocoon on his hand, he roughly knew the identity of the ambusher.
"Madam, these people are from the garrison."
The person who can mobilize the garrison is the Zhang family except Yue Zhongtai. Yue Zhongtai will not blatantly rob and kill people who are related to the King of Jin and leave the capital. The only possibility is Zhang Xutang.
Song Huiyue didn't say much: "Put it down and leave this place as soon as possible."
"Yes." Hou Er stood up and ordered the palace guards to fish up the cockpit. Don't worry about the gap and leave the place immediately.
As for the debris all over the ground, let's leave it to the Zhang family to clean up.
Regardless of the cold water, the two guards jumped into the water, grabbed the raft that was slowly floating away, and handed it to the people on the shore. Hou Er took the raft and was about to put it on the deck when suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air.
, he drew his sword and struck back without thinking. An arrow flew into the air and broke under his sword.
Yinxiao's ears twitched and he heard the buzzing sound of the strings made of cowhide strings being loosened in the air.
"Get down!" He yelled angrily, threw Song Huiyue to the ground, then rolled on the spot and fell behind a stall.
The first arrow was a commanding arrow. As soon as the commanding arrow arrived, the arrows behind them were overwhelming, like a strong wind and rain, and the unarmed boatmen on the ship were tied into a sieve.
Hou Er immediately fell to the ground, and at the same time his heart suddenly sank.
Using so many archers, this battle was completely unexpected. Are the Zhang family crazy?
Zhang Xutang stood in a straw shed behind the pier. He was not crazy, but he was very murderous.
He didn't believe that he couldn't do anything with such a little lady.
She is obviously a stinky bitch who has nothing, but she can always escape from his hands.
So this time, as soon as he received the news that Song Huiyue was leaving Kyoto from the pier, he arranged everything without stopping.
He had to hold this crazy woman in his hands. Not only did he have to hold her, but he also had to crush her and crush her bones into ashes in order to relieve his hatred.
