Yunchu leaned on the cushions, listening to the two voices getting further and further away, pursed his lips, and finally stretched his right hand towards the window screen and waved it gently in the air.
Shen Fengchu, who was sitting aside, looked at her profile and said, "We will be back!"
"I know!" Yun Chu glanced sideways and met his gaze, "Now, let's discuss the hunting plan!"
"Hunting?" Shen Fengchu raised his eyebrows, then smiled, "I like being a hunter!"

From Fengtian City to Jiangnan, there are two roads to choose from.
All the way by land, all the way by water.
The road trip south along the Guan Road will take at least 20 days, and we have to cross mountains and ridges. It is about to enter the rainy season, and the road is not easy to walk.
By water, you can go directly from the outskirts of Fengtian via the Tianshui River to the Daning Canal. After a century of expansion, the Daning Canal has connected the north and the south, which can significantly reduce the travel time.
Obviously, taking the water route is the wisest choice.
Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict last night, Shangguan Wuji had already arranged ships in the Daning Canal.
There are three ships in total, one building ship and two sand ships. The building ship can carry 500 people. The ship is larger and has a three-story pavilion, which can be used by Yun Chu and Shen Fengchu. It can also be reasonably arranged for maids and soldiers. live.
The two sand ships can each carry 300 people. In addition to the sailors, they can just carry the remaining 500 people from the Phoenix Cavalry Camp.
The sand boat has a smaller hull and more sails. Even if it is traveling against the wind, it can maintain a faster speed and is more convenient to move. Two sand boats, one in front and one behind, can just respond to the building boat.
Even if something goes wrong, it can be guaranteed that Yun Chu and Shen Fengchu on the building boat will have enough time to escape by boat.
Although Shangguan Wuji was a little dissatisfied with this task, once he took over the task, he did not hesitate at all when executing it, and he arranged things in an orderly manner.
Riding on a horse, walking side by side with Yun Chu's carriage, Shangguan Wuji explained his arrangements simply and methodically, "The general has arranged everything properly. If nothing happens, Her Royal Highness the Princess can arrive in Jiangnan safely in at least fifteen days. "
It's a pity that this time, her target is not just Jiangnan.
After listening to Shangguan Wuji's words in the carriage, Yun Chu rudely said four words, "I don't agree!"
Shangguan Wuji raised his eyebrows lightly. His careful plan was denied for no reason. Naturally, he would not be happy. However, he was helpless because of the noble body of the other party. He could only ask patiently, "What do you mean, Your Highness, Princess?"
"I want to take the land route!" Yunchu said.
"It takes at least five more days to travel by land, and you have to cross mountains and ridges..."
Yun Chu stopped him and said, "If General Shangguan is afraid of the hard work, why not go back to the capital to report to the emperor now, and let someone else escort me!"
On the side, Shangguan Wuji's lieutenant, Shangguan Chen, was so angry that his face darkened, and he opened his mouth to speak for Shangguan Wuji, "You..."
"Don't be unreasonable!" Shangguan Wuji shouted to his men, "Your Highness, the general has no such intention. It's just that your two highnesses have a lot of luggage and servants. If you take the land route, I'm afraid it will delay your trip to participate in the martial arts competition!"
Yun Chu yawned lazily, "In that case, send all the luggage and servants on the ship, and divide your troops into two halves. Seven hundred people will escort the luggage, and only three hundred will be left with me. We will wait until Jingzhou There will definitely be enough time to get on the boat again!"
