Wu Kui said: "I heard it's coming soon." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of hoofbeats coming from ahead, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to shake. The lingering mist also sensed this vibration, and began to fluctuate violently.
The morning sun finally broke free from the shackles of clouds and fog, and emerged from the eastern sky. Golden light instantly filled the earth.
A cavalry of nearly 300 people came quickly from the northeast towards the location of the escorting procession. The soldiers on the horses were in bright armor, and the golden light of the morning sun shrouded their armor, depicting a gorgeous golden outline. They were galloping,
His posture was strong and vigorous, as if he had broken through the morning fog and suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Wen Boyuan reined in the horse and squinted his eyes, only to see a large flag fluttering in the wind in the middle of the cavalry, with a large word "Feng" embroidered above it.
The cavalry stopped ten feet away from them. A middle-aged general in bronze armor stepped out of the team and said loudly: "Feng Changzheng, the commander of the Qinglong Bay garrison, led his officers and soldiers to greet Her Royal Highness Princess Anping.
"
Wen Boyuan nodded. The news that Princess Anping would cross the river from Qinglong Bay Pier today had already been conveyed here, and the dowry baggage had been reloaded in advance last night. Wen Boyuan personally followed up on the matter. He and Feng Changzheng had already
Having met each other, he raised his fist to Feng Changzheng and said, "Hello, General Feng!"
Feng Changzheng waited where he was. When Wen Boyuan arrived, he turned his horse's head and rode alongside Wen Boyuan. The three hundred cavalry he brought spread out to both sides, and a passage appeared. Wen Boyuan and Wen Boyuan
Feng Changzheng and the others took the lead in riding horses into the passage.
Wen Boyuan said: "How are you preparing?"
Feng Changzheng said respectfully: "General Qi Zhenwen, everything is ready, just waiting for the princess to board the ship."
Wenbo looked far away, and after the sun appeared, the fog dissipated quickly. The Qinglong Bay Pier, which was originally shrouded in thick fog, suddenly appeared in front of them. Driven by the sun, the fog was moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fading away, he whispered: "The weather is nice!"
Feng Changzheng smiled and said: "There was still fog just now. It will dissipate now."
Wenbo Yuandao: "Have you been contacted by Dayong?"
Feng Changzheng nodded and said: "We have sent someone to contact you. The Dayong Navy will greet you at Nanyang Village. The Seventh Prince Xue Chuanming is training troops in Tongtian River. He has received the news and should be on his way to Nanyang Village."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the pier, and saw two large ships moored on the pier. They were going to take these two ships to cross the river today.
After arriving at the pier, everyone got off their horses. Wu Jingshan also got out of the car. He beat his waist while observing the situation on the pier and the river. The fog dissipated quickly. At this time, his eyesight could reach the center of Yongjiang River, so there was no need for it.
If it takes too long, the morning fog will completely subside.
Wen Boyuan walked towards Wu Jingshan and said to Wu Jingshan: "Master Wu, everything is ready and you can cross the river at any time."
Wu Jingshan nodded and said: "Okay, okay!"
Wen Boyuan told Wu Jingshan the pre-planned personnel distribution plan. What surprised Wu Jingshan was that he and Wen Boyuan were assigned to a ship, while Hu Xiaotian and Princess Anping boarded another ship. Such a distribution plan was also greatly unexpected.
To Hu Xiaotian's surprise, he originally thought that Wen Boyuan would be on the same boat with Princess Anping in the name of being a guard, but he did not expect that Wen Boyuan would actually make such an arrangement. Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, really, the plan is not as good as a change. Could it be that Wen Boyuan
Already aware of it? That's why you made such an arrangement? Thinking about it carefully, he didn't reveal any flaws, and the possibility of him discovering it was very slim. But it wasn't a temporary idea.
The more Hu Xiaotian thought about it, the stranger he became. Although he didn't know Wen Boyuan's true motives, he could conclude that it was definitely not accidental that this person made such an arrangement.
At this time, Princess Anping and Zijuan also got off the carriage. Zijuan and Princess Anping changed their costumes. Princess Anping supported Zijuan's arm, and Hu Xiaotian hurriedly walked over and supported Zijuan's other arm on the other side. , Zijuan turned her head and looked into the distance. Before she could completely turn her head, she encountered Hu Xiaotian's murderous eyes, which made Zijuan tremble in her heart.
Hu Xiaotian used voice transmission to enter the secret passage: "Go forward and don't reveal any flaws."
Zicuckoo lowered her head and walked solemnly towards the gangway.
When they were about to board the ship, Wen Bo came over and said loudly: "Your Highness, please stay!"
Long Xiyue's heart was shaken, and she secretly screamed that something was wrong. Could it be that Wen Boyuan had already seen the flaw in it.
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Keep walking! Don't pay attention to him!" He stopped and blocked Wen Boyuan's way. Wen Boyuan looked at Hu Xiaotian coldly and said: "Why did Eunuch Hu block my way?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "This is not the place to talk. If you have anything to say, please ask General Wen to come on board before talking."
Wen Boyuan was slightly startled, but he saw Hu Xiaotian making a gesture inviting him to board the ship. Wen Boyuan had no intention of getting on the ship, but looked around and said: "There are many people with mixed eyes, and it is indeed not the place to talk. It is better to wait until Let’s talk after we get off the boat.”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Won't General Wen get on this boat?"
Wen Boyuan pointed to the large ship on the side and said: "Wen is escorting Her Royal Highness the Princess on this ship."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "General Wen used to be a close guard!"
Wenbo Yuandao said: "Eunuch Hu is overly worried. The situation on land is different from that on water. Wen is much clearer than Eunuch Hu on what kind of preventive measures should be taken. When encountering a sudden situation, Wen can lead his men to block it and let the princess Evacuate to a safe place first, besides, Eunuch Hu has many talented people under his command, and I feel very relieved to have you protecting the princess."
Although Wen Boyuan's words made sense, Hu Xiaotian believed that this guy was deceitful. At this moment, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the gangway. They both looked up at the same time and saw that the princess had lost her footing and almost fell down. On the gangway, fortunately, Zhou Mo caught her in time. Long Xiyue, who was beside her, was shocked and reached out to help her, almost calling Zijuan's name.
Hu Xiaotian knew that Zijuan's behavior was no accident. She should have sent a signal to Wen Boyuan in this way. Hu Xiaotian noticed that Wen Boyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he seemed to realize something, but he did not walk over.
Hu Xiaotian said deliberately: "It seems something happened, let's go over and take a look."
Wen Boyuan did not respond to his words and said calmly: "There should be nothing wrong. Eunuch Hu should board the ship as soon as possible."
Hu Xiaotian became more and more doubtful in his heart. There was no reason for Wen Bo to be so calm. Could it be that he had already seen through his plan? Then he thought about it, it must be wrong. Zijuan's every move was completely under Zhou Mo's surveillance. There was no such thing. Opportunities to communicate with the outside world.
At this time, Princess Anping and Zijuan had already boarded the ship. The moment Long Xiyue stepped onto the deck, she turned around and looked at Hu Xiaotian. Seeing that he was still standing with Wen Boyuan, she was worried that her identity would be exposed, so she hurriedly turned around. Although it was just this subtle movement, it was completely captured by Wen Boyuan. Wen Boyuan frowned and vaguely guessed what happened. He clasped his fists towards Hu Xiaotian and said: "Farewell, Eunuch Hu, let's meet on the other side." See."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Okay! Okay!" Looking at Wen Boyuan's back, he always felt that something was very strange. At this time, Xiong Anmin and his son came over to say goodbye to him, but Hu Xiaotian waved to Xiong Tianba and said: "Naughty boy,
Uncle, there is one more thing for you to do."
Xiong Tianba said: "Uncle, please tell me." In fact, Xiong Tianba originally wanted to follow them to Dayong to join in the fun and learn some martial arts from Master Zhou Mo on the way. However, Hu Xiaotian considered that something big would happen on the way and was worried that he would be involved.
I saw him, so I didn't let him go with me.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Take some of your brothers to cross the river with me, and then follow the boat back when it arrives safely."
Xiong Tianba smiled and said: "Sure! Uncle, why don't you take me to Yongdu so that I can see more of you?"
Xiong Anmin was sophisticated and saw that Hu Xiaotian suddenly changed his mind. He expected that Hu Xiaotian must have noticed that the situation was abnormal, otherwise he would not let his son board the boat with him. He whispered to Hu Xiaotian: "Master Hu, is there something wrong?"
Hu Xiaotian didn't hide anything from him. He looked around and said in a low voice: "I always feel that Wen Boyuan's behavior today is a bit abnormal."
Xiong Anmin nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
Hu Xiaotian knew that firstly he was trying to help, and secondly because he was worried about Xiong Tianba, so he nodded and said: "That's fine!"
Wen Boyuan was halfway along the gangway when he saw Hu Xiaotian and the Xiong family's father and son leading fifty soldiers to board his boat. Wen Boyuan couldn't help but feel startled and secretly screamed that something was wrong.
Everyone came to the deck one after another. Wen Boyuan blocked Hu Xiaotian's path: "Eunuch Hu seems to have boarded the wrong ship."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "That's right, the ship is already full. Lord Xiong is very loyal and decided to send the princess to the other side and then return with the ship. The Za family can't refuse his kindness. The dowry and baggage are all over there. We just
I can come to this ship and join in the fun."
Wen Boyuan said coldly: "Eunuch Hu, the ship's carrying capacity is limited. I'm afraid this ship can't carry so many people."
A voice behind him said: "Why can't we take it away? Didn't it mean that more than a hundred people can be seated?" The speaker was Wu Jingshan, the Minister of Rites. Wu Jingshan stayed on the deck after boarding the ship. He also wondered why Wenbo Yuan was there.
Choose to ride separately from Princess Anping.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Master Wu!"
Wu Jingshan cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Hu, I thought you were on the same boat as the princess."
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Wen said that this ship has the important responsibility of protecting the princess. I thought about it and thought, how can I let General Wen bear the responsibility alone, so I came."
Wu Jingshan gave a thumbs up and said hypocritically: "Master Hu is so brave and loyal, I really admire him." (To be continued)
