The boatman was a little confused: "I didn't hear there was going to be a war. Why are there so many warships?"
Mu Yunhan felt that something was wrong. She turned around and looked at Gu Fenglin, and she also saw solemnity in his eyes.
The reason why they deliberately concealed their whereabouts was because they did not want to meet Meng Jia and Gu Yilan again.
They just want to quietly return to Shoushan Town to receive Xingxing, and the family can live a simple and down-to-earth life anonymously.
However, the battle in front of us does not seem to be a good sign.
"Let's go to a quiet place. We have urgent matters and we can't delay. We'll give you double the boat fare." Mu Li came forward to talk to the boatman.
The boatman was very embarrassed: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to make money, but look at how fast the river is!
It was the rainy season, and the river water surged rapidly, making many roads that could be walked in the past no longer possible.
You are in a hurry, and I also want to make money, but I have to live in order to do so."
"three times……"
"Four times!"
The price increased tenfold, and the boatman was tempted: "Then let's go!"
But a group of soldiers rushed over and shouted: "Everyone get off the boat! The river is closed! No one except warships is allowed to pass by these days!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the boatman did not dare to mess around, so he had to apologize: "The river has been closed. This is not the past. General Meng has clear rewards and punishments. If you are caught privately boating, you will be severely punished. I will refund your boat money."
Everyone had no choice but to take the boat money and go ashore.
The group of soldiers was still there. The leader stared at the new student for a while, said nothing, and left with his men.
Mu Yunhan was quite uneasy: "I feel very bad."
Mu Li drooped the corners of his lips and said, "Maybe I didn't do it carefully enough and the news was leaked."
In order to recover as soon as possible, Gu Fenglin has not used the ability of foresight for a long time, but the ability of planning and speculation is still there.
He whispered: "Uncle Jiu is with them."
With Gu Yilan here, it is not too difficult to know their whereabouts.
Since there was no way to avoid it, everyone did not hesitate to find a remote place to stay, and went to the best inn by the river to check in.
It turns out that their guess was right.
The shopkeeper asked them for directions, and Mu Lida said, "It's lost."
The shopkeeper didn't even ask, and asked them to be led to the superior guest room. They were given whatever they asked for, very politely.
Now that you've arrived, let's settle down. Mu Yunhan greets everyone: "It's time to eat, it's time to sleep. You've been working hard these days. Let's get some rest."
She took a nice bath herself, put on clean clothes, and helped Gu Fenglin clean up. The couple sat quietly by the window drinking tea and playing chess.
The location of the inn is excellent. Sitting in the guest room, you can see the shadows of boats on the blue waves and the sky full of reeds.
The tea is good tea, Mingqian white tea, light and elegant, just suitable for people with a constitution like Gu Fenglin's.
After living in seclusion in Fengcheng for a long time, they have almost said what they need to say. The couple has eliminated the barriers caused by time, distance, and physical bodies, and there is more of a tacit understanding between them.
Mu Yunhan just glanced at the tea cup, and Gu Fenglin knew that she thought the tea was too weak, so he immediately changed it to a pot of tea.
He glanced at the window, and she knew he was thinking about Gu Yilan: "I'll calculate the time, and Uncle Jiu should come in the evening."
"This is wrong." There was a faint sound outside the window, and Gu Yilan jumped into the window like a big bird, stood in front of the two of them, and looked over with bright eyes.
Mu Yunhan and Gu Fenglin stood up and saluted: "Uncle Jiu, you are welcome and safe."
