The building boat slowly docked, Wang Chi jumped onto the building boat, raised his hands to the man in plain clothes and a green cloak, and said: "Qingyuan, thank you for your support, how are you doing here?"
The man waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and then smiled and said: "I'm used to taking boats, what else can be wrong? Did you see Aring? I received the message and I have to come to pick you up in person."
Wang Chi nodded and said: "Well, I haven't seen you for two years. This girl is growing very fast. If she grows up, she may have to catch up with you."
As he spoke, he stood side by side with the man on the bow of the boat and looked at the busy crowd on the shore. "Nuo, you are helping to arrange the soldiers, horses and prison cars. You are quite capable."
The man shook his head and said, "She is tall, but she doesn't look like a daughter. She spends her days hanging out in the military camp. My father is worried that she won't be able to find her husband's family in the future."
Wang Chi said with a smile: "Wearing soft armor, we are very majestic. I'm afraid we will become the first female generals in the Tang Dynasty." He paused and said, "I heard that you won a great victory against Nanyi in the water battle last year and even captured his deputy general.
You can make them extremely honest, Governor Shi."
This man in plain clothes and a green cloak is Shi Yu, the only son of Shi Yuanming, the commander of the Southwest Navy, also named Qingyuan, and the brother of the female general Shi Ling.
Shi Yu was young and usually reticent, but when he saw Wang Chi, he was really happy. He couldn't help but say a few more words, "It's just the deputy governor. To tell you the truth, that battle was mainly fought by Aling."
After coming down, I prefer to fight on land." He swallowed the last sentence "It's a pity that there is no chance."
Wang Chi understood immediately, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "There is a chance."
The two chatted for a while. Wang Chi suddenly stared at the down-and-out Taoist priest next to Shi Ling who was turning to look at the prison car. He raised his chin and asked: "That... Taoist priest next to her? What's the origin?"
Shi Yudun felt a headache and rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed: "Aling has always been plagued by nightmares last month. He said it was caused by this Taoist priest. He was doing something to catch ghosts and eliminate evil spirits. I think he is just a charlatan."
.This sister of mine has always been a good-looking person. When you talk to her, you will obey her words..."
Wang Chi smiled and shook his head, remembering Shi Ling's attention to the Taoist priest's attitude just now, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes and repeated very slowly: "Master?" He pondered for a long time and then said: "Pay more attention to him.
This Taoist priest can't see the depth, it's not simple. And..." He frowned. This Taoist priest always felt familiar to him, but Wang Chi was very sure that he didn't know him - it was impossible to see his face before.
forget it?
After everything was arranged, Shi Ling and the Taoist priest walked side by side to the building boat.
Shi Ling suddenly said: "Sir, do you think there is something wrong with the little girl in the prison car?"
The Taoist priest raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What?"
Shi Ling said with some amusement: "Sir, he has been looking at her for a long time. Apart from wine, he has never paid such attention to anything."
The Taoist priest's eyes suddenly looked a little playful, "She is angry."
"gas?"
"Pure resentment."
"Is there any difference between pure and impure resentment?" Shi Ling wondered.
The Taoist priest laughed but did not answer.
Shi Ling asked again, "Sir, he said before that I had nightmares because I killed too much and was entangled in resentment. That little girl doesn't seem to know how to kill."
"It's different. That resentment protects her. It's rare."
"Sir, if you keep talking like this, my brother will accuse me of being weird again." As he spoke, he knocked on the door of the cabin, "The one with my brother inside is the youngest son of the Northwest King. He has a bad temper. Please forgive me, sir."
..." Looking back, there was no sign of the Taoist priest. Shi Ling was stunned: "Sir?!"
The cabin door has been opened, and Shi Yu called from inside: "A Ling is here? Come on, come on..."
Bai Zeqing was taken out of the prison car and locked in the bilge of the ship. Black-armored cavalry strictly patrolled the place, making it airtight.
Bai Zeqing was stroking the wooden figure with one hand, and slowly nibbling the cold steamed buns with the other hand. He was looking at the turbulent river outside the window that was slightly larger than the palm of his hand, while his mind was thinking rapidly - how many days of sailing would it take?
Her only chance to escape.
She was born in Jinzhou. When she was young, she and Brother Qi often went to Jinjiang to play, and she knew how to swim. But after her father was transferred to Ningzhou, she didn't go into the water much, so she couldn't be said to be good at swimming.
However, if he did not take advantage of the waterway to find an opportunity to dive and escape to seek a chance of survival, and then he would be thrown into a prison car and taken to the capital after landing on the shore, he would definitely die.
Even if you only have one level of certainty, you still have to give it a try.
"Hey, it turns out to be a puppet. Hey, little girl, do you want to come with me?"
The sudden sound behind him frightened Bai Zeqing to the point where his unfinished mouthful of steamed buns got stuck in his throat and he coughed violently.
She turned around hastily and recognized at a glance that the person coming was the down-and-out Taoist priest who had just been following the silver-armored female general.
"You... cough... water... cough..."
"Tsk, don't worry, cough slowly." The Taoist priest stood between the cabin door and Bai Zeqing, not far but not near, watching her cough very indifferently, without any intention of helping.
In his hurry, Bai Zeqing did not forget to put the little wooden figure into his arms first, and then crawled to the water bowl on both hands and feet. He drank from it, but had to control himself not to drink too fast, and then he choked again.
While I was drinking water again, countless thoughts passed through my mind:
Who is this person?
Why come here?
How did he get in?
Do you want to call someone?
Shouting...Shouting for someone, am I crazy? I'm a prisoner and I don't know who to kill first...
"Have you finished coughing? I want to ask you, do you want to follow me?" The Taoist priest urged impatiently.
Bai Zeqing tried his best to calm down: "Ahem... why did you... save me?"
Prison robbery is a serious crime. Now that she has no relatives or friends, who would risk his life to save her? - Could it be her uncle's friend? My uncle's thangka skills are superb. He has so many friends who are monks and lay people. Isn't it surprising that he has a Taoist friend?
In an instant, countless thoughts were running through her mind, and she heard the Taoist priest say coldly:
"It's not in vain, you can give me something in exchange."
"I'm all alone, ahem, what else can I give in exchange for it?" Could this man be coveting his uncle's thangka and not getting it?
"There's so much nonsense! You don't want me to leave." The Taoist priest's tone was obviously impatient.
"Yes!" she said eagerly.
She will not be able to escape when the ship leaves. Following the prison car back to the capital will definitely lead to death. She cannot die yet! The Bai family has been wronged. Her father and eldest brother and second brother died for the country. They cannot bear the stigma of collaboration with the enemy and treason. Mother, uncle and aunt
Her life and death were uncertain and her whereabouts were unknown. Brother Qi saved her with his life, and she could not die in vain.
No idiot would be willing to escape if there was even the slightest chance.
"Let's go." With a simple word, the Taoist priest turned aside and stepped out of the cabin door.
"Let's go?" Bai Zeqing looked at the cabin door hesitantly, "What, how do we go?"
Her heart was pounding, and she seriously suspected that this Taoist priest was here to trick her. As soon as she stepped out of the hatch, the hundred ax men lying in wait outside could easily cut her into eight hundred pieces and throw them into the Fuyuan River to feed the fish.
"Is your leg broken?" The Taoist priest glanced at her with disgust, "Or is it because of your poor brain that it affects your walking?"
"Everything outside the cabin door is west..."
"Follow me." The Taoist priest didn't bother to explain to her. He opened the hatch and walked out as if he didn't want to follow her.
"Fight!" At the critical moment, Bai Zeqing only knew that he couldn't wait to die and didn't care about anything else. At least the hatch was open. Even if he went out to face the Northwest Cavalry, he would still have a chance to escape by jumping into the river as soon as possible, right?
It's better than waiting to die.
