Early in the morning that day, Bai Ya and Qi Huan set out. Before dawn, they took their luggage and headed for the dock. The capital was not in the south, so they could take the land route first and then the water route. But to the south
It was biased to begin with, neglected to manage, and the news spread
The delivery is also incredibly slow. So it’s better to just take the official documents that were approved for the day and go around the nearest waterway in the capital. Although it is indeed slower than the land route, the mainland has rich terrain. There are mountains and rivers there, and it’s not easy to go around.
no.
They came to the dock. The management here was not strict. There was a strait in the south, which was the pass. There were several people from the imperial court on the boat, and they had documents and seals to certify them. When the time came, they stayed at the pass and only let these few people pass.
That’s it.
The luggage of the two people is not much, it can even be said to be pitiful. The court has equipped them with a lot of supplies, which are piled at the dock. Qi Huan has read the list and there are many things that are used in onmyoji. Bai Ya
I find it too troublesome to read.
"Speaking of which... let's just leave. Why don't we say hello to Miss Jun?"
"Hit me." Bai Ya hurriedly said, "I have to find a way to get rid of that bitch. I haven't seen her in the past few days, so it's okay."
"...You, oh, okay, okay."
When the two of them arrived at the pier, it was completely bright. However, they never thought that Jun Aoyan would appear here earlier than them. She was still wearing what could be considered a military uniform, leaning leisurely on the guardrail, holding a pestle in one hand.
Holding a Mo Dao, he has the aura of a door god.
"Boss, isn't this a witch..." Qi Huan said in a confused voice, "Why is she..."
"Huh, she said she's not the court's spy. I think she's just living here and waiting."
When Jun Aoyan saw them coming, she looked as if she had expected them. She walked over calmly, with her head held high, and the Mo Dao in her hand was as light as paper.
"The supplies have been moved to the ship." Aoyan said, "It's ready to go at any time."
Bai Ya looked at her and suddenly turned the horse's head. Qi Huan asked inexplicably:
"Hey, what are you doing? It's not like that."
"Suddenly I don't want to leave, let's wait another day."
"Hey! It's already the sixth day, how long do you want to delay it?" Qi Huan was also a little anxious, "If it's any later, we'll miss the auspicious day mentioned by the Grand Master! If we turn around and the boat capsizes, let's see who you can talk to for reasoning.
.”
"The almanac says it's not advisable to go out today."
How come this guy lies so quickly!
At this time, someone else came towards them. A few people looked up and saw a thin young man coming and stopping in front of them. This man looked like a scholar at first glance, his steps were polite, and his body was full of elegance.
An indescribable "sourness of poverty".
Of course, it's not that exaggerated. It's because Bai Ya himself always has a bias when looking at people. This feeling may come from his clothes, which are very old, faded and patched. The clothes are embroidered with hibiscus patterns, and the fabric is worth it.
It's worth the money, but I just wore it too long.
"Uncle Xi?" Jun Aoyan opened her mouth slightly, "Why are you here?"
"Come to see you."
When he walked up to Jun Aoyan, he had to look up at her. Aoyan was half a head taller than him.
Then, the scholar turned his head to Bai Ya and said seriously: "Today is a good time to move and travel, and don't do anything else."
"..."
Bai Ya was annoyed the most by "nerds" like this. Especially since he was an acquaintance of Jun Aoyan, which made him feel panicked. Qi Huan was afraid that they would quarrel, so he quickly picked up the conversation and talked about something else. Don't say,
This man is good at everything and ranks first in feudal superstition. After some back and forth, the man whom Jun Aoyan called "Uncle Xi" nodded approvingly and praised him.
Even Aoyan was speechless. She and Bai Ya stood aside, which was awkward.
"Uncle Xi, how did you know that I left today?"
"I heard them say that you have been living at the dock these days." He shook his head, "You girl, you are used to being wild with your father, and you don't want to eat and sleep even if you have it."
"Yes, I'm not used to those in inns..." She scratched her head, "You'd better go back quickly. It's windy at the seaside, so don't give you any bad news."
The scholar shook his head: "You are looking down on me. Your father and I also ate sand in the frontier. Alas, I promised your father to take good care of you for him until he comes back. Who knows that so many years have passed...
…”
There was no news. The words were not spoken, but they could understand them.
"You have grown into a big girl."
"Hahaha, right."
"I don't believe their rhetoric." The scholar glanced around and said, "When things go wrong, there must be monsters. I don't believe a word of those lies. Your father and I have been friends for many years, and I have watched you grow up.
. He regards you as my own son, and I regard him as my brother. Even though we are only a few years apart, his words still have some weight. Don’t forget what I have taught you over the years."
"Ah, yes, yes, you taught me right."
Bai Ya and Qi Huan hugged their shoulders and raised their chins slightly, hearing something. Unexpectedly, in addition to the brothers of the famous General Jun, there are also those who study. However, this is probably the only one.
, I really can’t guess what kind of friendship they can have. From the looks of it, the relationship is not bad, even Jun Aoyan respects him.
He seemed to have a lot more to say. But like every father, when things came to a head, he couldn't hold anything back.
"This is your decision..." he finally said, "I know what you have made up your mind since you were a child. It is a sure thing, and even eight cows can't bring it back. I selfishly hope that he can go to your father.
I'm following you back, and I hope you will stay safe and don't cause any trouble to yourself. These two people in the world are traveling with you..."
As he spoke, he looked at the two people who were still there and lowered his voice.
"You have to be careful not to think of people on the same boat as brothers. The rivers and lakes are deep and people's hearts are unpredictable."
"What do you mean? I've been putting up with you for a long time." Bai Ya raised a knife and said, "You're done with it, right? You think I want to go with her. Let's split up!"
After that, he walked straight to the boat and took out the paperwork. Qi Huan quickly followed and looked back at Aoyan.
"No points." Aoyan shouted, "It's just a boat. I've packed the supplies. I may not be able to lie down inside, but there is still room to stay."
Bai Ya cursed a curse word. This was not directed at Ao Yan, but a trick of the court. He said that there was no limit to the number of followers, but in the end he still set a standard here. They didn't bring anyone with them. If they did, the supplies and
People, you have to make a choice. You are really good at calculating. I should have packed another chicken at the inn.
"Vulgar language!" The scholar shook his head angrily, very worried about Aoyan's safety.
By the time they actually set sail, it was already noon. It was not too hot now, and the waves carried a slightly fishy wind, which was quite comfortable. Bai Ya stayed in the cabin and did not come out, mainly because he did not want to deal with the people in the government. Except for the three of them
, there were four sailors, and a Sesame Officer. The size of the ship was no longer what it was before, and it seemed a bit cramped. Those people also hoped that he would stay away, after all, no one wanted to deal with the son of a sinner.
Qi Huan looked at the Zhanma Dao in Aoyan's hand and was a little interested. But he just looked at it and had no other ideas. After all, he knew that in Aoyan's eyes, he and Bai Ya were on the same page, but Bai Ya
He is obviously hostile to her, and his position is in trouble.
Jun Aoyan saw that he kept staring at the knife, which seemed very generous.
"Want to take it and take a look?"
Qi Huan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Aoyan to say that. He waved his hands repeatedly at first, not willing to agree.
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that it’s too heavy. If I underestimate the weight and feel of the knife, wouldn’t I be in a disgrace?
"Try it, it's not heavy."
"Uh hahaha, I believe you, you idiot..."
Having said that, Aoyan still tilted the knife forward. Qihuan frowned and looked at it for a long time, then tried to hold it up, but almost lost it. Fortunately, Aoyan caught it quickly, otherwise it might have been able to penetrate the bottom of the boat.
.
Okay, it's not that exaggerated. But the moment Qi Huan touched the handle of the knife, she knew it was made of excellent iron. Compared with Bai Ya's double swords, her weapon was more "real".
There are fine cracks from battles, which are clearly visible in the sun. But the cracks are very shallow, and can explode under the light with a light halo with impurities. Bai Ya's knife is too strange, there is no scratch at all.
, not even a shadow can appear.
"It's such a good knife." Qi Huan couldn't help but take a second look and muttered softly, "Behead the horse proudly..."
Aoyan twitched the corner of her mouth.
"I quite like this name, but my dad doesn't like it. If anyone dares to call me that, he will have a droopy face, as if he wants to eat them alive. As for..."
"Really? Maybe I can understand what your father is thinking."
"Some people in the world say that my father is jealous of me. That's impossible. I know that. In terms of martial arts, strategy, and experience, I can't compare to him. That old guy probably doesn't dare to face reality and doesn't want to admit that I
He grows up so fast."
"Then you know a lot about it. What you said is correct."
"Not all daughters should stay at home and make needlework with embroidery needles."
"I agree."
"That stubborn old man... forget it, let's not talk about him. Ah, what about you? How is your family? How dare you step on this boat so easily?"
"My parents don't care about me, and I haven't seen them much." He waved his hand, "I just came out to have fun."
"Do you believe in the legend of the gods of the Nine Heavens Kingdom?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I like the process of exploration. Hey, why don't you tell me about my disloyalty and unfilial piety?"
"Why?" Aoyan was a little surprised, "I don't know your situation, but I know that not all parents in this world are qualified to be parents. Ah, I don't mean to attack your father. I just don't like to criticize anyone at the first moment.
You are unfaithful and unfilial, and you don’t understand your parents’ hard work. Why bother? Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Just because you are soaking in a honey jar, it does not mean that others are not in suffering.”
In the cabin, Bai Ya, who was lying down against the cargo, covered his ears and turned over irritably.
