She comforted her in a low voice: "Mom, it's okay. Whether it's water thieves or whether they offend someone, it has nothing to do with us. Now we have left that place. Even if the thieves want to chase, they won't be able to catch up for a while.
"
"Besides, they have so many guards, so it can always take a while."
Yang was comforted by Huo Xi and felt half relieved.
Yang Fu was worried again: "Your uncle is also going to follow, will it be okay? You said that your uncle insisted on following, but he didn't even have the slightest effort on his part, so he still acted bravely."
"Mom, don't worry, uncle knows what he knows. Besides, uncle is just helping them row the boat. When they get there, just stay on the boat. If something goes wrong, just row the boat and run away. Otherwise, nothing will happen if you jump into the water.
Yes. My uncle is very good at water."
"But this is a fool's errand. There are so many thieves over there. We can hear the sound of swords clashing from so far away. This sword has no eyes. What if your uncle..."
"Mom, you have to think better. My uncle is not stupid. He can stand and chop for others."
He leaned into Yang's ear and said, "We bought a boatload of spices this time with the money provided by the young master of that family. We can't use people from the front instead of the back. Besides, if our family wants to do business peacefully in Beijing,
Wouldn’t it be a good thing to have a backer like that?”
"These mothers understand, otherwise they would have tried their best to hold on to your uncle just now. But mother is still worried about your uncle."
"It's okay, mother, just relax, you can see your uncle at dawn. If you go back to Yangjiacun on Qingming Festival and burn so many things for your grandparents, your grandparents will definitely protect your uncle."
When Yang heard this, she nodded repeatedly, knelt down on the bow of the boat, and asked her parents to bless Yang Fu.
She has carefully raised this incense of the Yang family until now. She is about to start a family and start a business, and pass on the incense to his heir. She must keep him safe and sound.
Huo Erhuai's panic calmed down as he listened to the whispers of her mother and daughter.
On the lucky boat, Mu Yan, Li Yi and others had killed all the men in black. A group of guards also cleaned up the water on the boat. The servants who fell into the water and were killed also packed them up on the deck and covered them with white cloths.
Cover and prepare to go ashore at dawn to allow them to converge.
"Master, the boatman and sailors said that the ship is not badly damaged and can still run. I want to ask Master, what are your plans?" Gan San came to report.
"Rest where you are, and at dawn, let the boatmen row the boat to the town ahead."
"yes."
After working for three times, Li Yi came in and reported: "Master, there are only two survivors. One bit his tongue and committed suicide. The other only said he came from the southwest. I don't know who instigated it."
Mu Yan held back his anger and slammed the things on the table to the ground: "No need to ask! You can tell from his appearance that he is from a foreign race in the southwest."
"Master, be careful of the wound." Kan Er was bandaging the wound on his body. As soon as the young master stood up, the wound collapsed again.
Mu Yan looked like he had just emerged from an ice cave, with a chill all over his body and a pair of sharp eyes that were about to spit out fire.
Jun! He and she are incompatible!
He didn't want to fight, but she forced him to fight again and again.
"This time... I'm too bold. I don't take the princess and the consort seriously. If we don't arrange it well and someone hurts the princess, how will we explain it to the emperor?" Li Yi frowned.
.
Kan Er sneered: "Snake and scorpion woman. If the princess dies, wouldn't it be possible to take advantage of her heart? Your Majesty convicts our young master to punish him for failing to protect him. He keeps his Yongyun in the capital as a hostage and cannot return to the southwest. It's just right.
Don’t bother thinking about the title.”
"But Master Wang and Mrs. Wang are also on board, isn't she afraid of hurting Master Wang?"
"You can't bear to let go of the child, but you can't trap the wolf. Young Master Wang is just a child, so naturally he is not their target. Even if something happens to Young Master Wang, she will take the opportunity to have an attack. The Marquis dotes on Young Master Wang, and when the time comes for them to have a relationship with him, the Young Master has lost his heart.
, and we can’t get the support of the Marquis, isn’t it just right? Besides, Master Solo is by the Marquis’ side.”
"Master, this matter will definitely be reported to the emperor. We have to think about how to resolve it." Li Yi looked at Mu Yan.
Mu Yan raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth: "She was sure that I would press this matter, so she dared to take action while we were on the way to pick up the princess."
"Young Master, I'm afraid this matter can only be blamed on the water thief. No matter how unfavored the princess is, she is still the emperor's flesh and blood. If we find out that the Mu family dares to kill even the princess, the Southwest Marquis Mansion will probably be in trouble. What if we send him again?
If people come to assist in governing the Southwest, the situation in the entire Southwest will change."
Mu Yan slammed his hand on the desk and gritted his teeth bitterly: "I will tell my fourth uncle and ask him to persuade the princess. It is better to put the family first in the southwest."
"Yes. Since the princess has married into the Mu family and given birth to Young Master Jie, she should make more plans for Young Master Jie."
"Then this matter can only be pressed down?"
"What else can I do?"
Mu Yan listened to the two of them arguing, felt a headache, pressed his forehead, and stood up suddenly.
"Master, where are you going? This wound hasn't been bandaged yet."
Mu Yan kept walking, walked out of the cabin, found Yang Fu, and jumped on his boat. Li Yi and Kan Er also wanted to jump on the boat.
"Li Yi will stay and wait for us in the town ahead tomorrow."
"yes."
Huo Xi and Yang were guiding Huo Erhuai on the bow of the boat. They were holding Yang and fell asleep. After a long night of tossing and frightening, they would finally settle down. The river breeze was blowing on the bow of the boat, making them feel sleepy.
"Xi'er, please go to the cabin and sleep."
"I'll stay with my mother."
Yang was originally very scared, but now that Huo Xi was with her, she felt much better. The dark surface of the river was scary to look at, but having her daughter by her side gave her a lot of courage.
Seeing that Huo Xi didn't want to go into the cabin to sleep, I felt sad, so I hugged Huo Xi in my arms and wrapped the quilt around her.
The mother and daughter nestled on the bow of the boat to guide Huo Erhuai and check the situation on the river.
"Brother-in-law!"
Huo Xi and Yang heard the sound and hurriedly stood up and looked back, and saw a speedboat with candlelight coming quickly towards her family's boat.
"It's uncle!"
"Is it Yang Fu?"
"Sister, it's me."
When Yang heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed.
When they got closer, they saw that Yang Fu was well, and the whole family felt relieved. Hearing that what had happened earlier, Huo Erhuai also collapsed, and he and Yang Fu found a place leeward, and stopped the two boats on the shore.
Seeing that Mu Yan and Li Yi were both injured, Yang quickly welcomed them to her boat and cooked them some hot tea and food.
"Thanks to your family tonight." Mu Yan thanked Huo Erhuai Yang and glanced at Huo Xi who was holding Yang's arm.
"Young Master Mu is too polite. Our family didn't do anything."
"I won't thank you enough for your kindness. If you need me in the future, just come to Mu's Mansion to find me."
"Master Mu, you're welcome."
Yang and Huo Erhuai were polite and felt happy. Having a powerful young master remember them would make their business in the city smoother.
Mu Yan looked at Huo Xi, who was leaning on Yang and dozing off, and said warmly: "Go to bed, don't worry, there will be nothing to do tonight."
Huo Xi raised her sleepy head and glanced at him, before being pulled into the cabin by Yang and fell asleep.
