In the middle of spring, the warm wind was blowing, and the thousands of sails on the river were all over.
Xu Qi ‘an stood on the deck and looked into the distance. He watched as the floaters, official ships, and turreted ships sailed slowly. The sails were stretched to the limit, and he felt like he had returned to last year.
However, it was Midwinter at that time, and the wind from the river was sharp, unlike the bright spring light now. Not far from the shore, there were flocks of wild ducks, so fat that it made people swallow their saliva.
“It’s too far away,. can’t catch it with my Qi …” “The martial arts system is really Low. I’m a rank. 6, but. can’t even fly …” Xu Qi ‘an sighed in disappointment.
Even with Qinggong, one could not walk on water. There had to be something floating.
Perhaps he would only be able to float on water when he reached the fifth stage.
song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao are not here. Without old song to support us, this journey has been so boring. Xu Qi ‘an sighed.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw a familiar maid in an indigo dress coming to the deck from the corner of his eye.
She was between 30 to 35 years old and had ordinary looks. She had a proud temperament and a smile on her face. It seemed that she was out to enjoy the warm and Pleasant River Wind.
The two of them noticed each other almost at the same time, and the woman’s face fell.
“Juan Zi, what are you doing here?”
Xu Qi ‘an stared at her in disbelief.
Juan Zi … The woman’s face twitched and she snorted. “It’s not that enemies don’t meet, ”
I should have known that his ability to solve cases is top-notch. How could I not send him for a case like the bloody massacre of three thousand miles?
Chu Xianglong had told her before that in order to conceal themselves and to have sufficient guards, they had chosen to set off together with the diplomatic mission that was investigating the “bloody massacre of three thousand miles.”
She knew about the case, but as for who the organizer was, she was in a bad mood at the time and was too lazy to ask.
“Juan Zi, what are you doing here?” Xu Qi ‘an examined her.
“What does it have to do with you?”
The woman’s face was cold as she threatened, ” don’t call me Auntie in the future. Who’s your superior? who’s the head of the diplomatic mission? ” If you dare to call me Juan Zi again, I’ll ask him to deal with you.”
Hairpin. hairpin. hairpin. hairpin …. Xu Qi ‘an shouted.
‘This bastard … The woman was furious. She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She glared at him fiercely and said, ‘”‘Just you wait.”
She left in a Huff.
The teaching workshop Division, the little Pavilion of shadow plum.
Fu Xiang slept until the sun was high in the sky before she woke up. She was draped in a thin chiffon dress and bathed and dressed under the service of the maidservants.
“Lord Xu, are you leaving the capital for business again?” her personal maidservant chuckled.
Fu Xiang was taken aback. She tilted her head and looked at the maidservant in surprise. how did you know? ”
The maidservant pursed her lips and chuckled. last night, the bed shook until midnight. Usually, Lord Xu takes pity on his wife. He would definitely not torment her so late.
“Wretched girl, you’re getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to tease me,” Fu Xiangling said.
As she laughed, the servant girl was suddenly shocked. Her expression was extremely strange as she said in a trembling voice, “”Mother, wife … You have white hair.”
Fu Xiang’s smile slowly disappeared as she said indifferently, “”Just pull it out, what’s the big deal.”
After dressing up, she sent the maidservant away and sat alone in front of the mirror, staring at her charming face and not saying a word for a long time.
“Swish!”
The woman pushed open the door to Chu Xianglong’s room. She put her hands on her waist and said angrily, “”The night watchman, a fellow from the Yamen, made me angry.”
Sitting cross-legged and healing his internal injuries, Chu Xianglong opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows.”Who is it?”
The woman didn’t show any emotion and said word by word, “”Silver Gong Xu
Qian.”
She had already been bullied by Xu Qi ‘an several times. Although she had already taken revenge for the gold that had fallen on her, she had been taken advantage of by that young man when she had watched monk jingsi fight in the ring.
The princess Consort thought that she was a woman, so she endured it. She didn’t expect this guy to be addicted to bullying her. He even slandered her as an Auntie.
Chu Xianglong frowned, ” what did he do to you? ”
“He offended me.” Wangfei’s expression was cold. The maidservant’s clothes and ordinary facial features could not hide her noble air. She said in a calm tone,
there’s no need to go too far. It’s not a big deal anyway. A small punishment will do.
When she saw that Chu Xianglong didn’t agree and was frowning, she sneered, “”Even if I go to the North, I’ll still be a Princess.”
Chu Xianglong shook his head, ” the princess Consort has misunderstood. That kid … He’s the organizer of this northjourney.”
The Queen’s mouth was slightly open, and her eyes were a little dull.
“But don’t worry, he won’t be smug for long. I’ll teach him a lesson.” Even if he’s the organizer personally appointed by His Majesty, he’s only temporary. A silver Gong is a silver Gong, and even if he’s a Viscount, he’s still a minor figure.”
As a general with real power and the Deputy general of the North-guarding King, he really didn’t care about ordinary nobles and officials.
Three days passed in a flash, and the sea route was still relatively stable. This kind of large official ship would not encounter water bandits. It was large in scale and of high class. Anyone could see that the big shots living on the ship were different from ordinary people.
And such big shots were often accompanied by Masters and elite guards. Ordinary water bandits only dared to attack small merchant ships and occasionally attack the small boats of the government.
However, there was one thing that troubled Xu Qi ‘an. There was plenty of rainfall in spring, and the river was turbulent. It was not as calm as it was in winter. From time to time, the river Wind would blow big waves.
For the people living in the cabin, although it was uncomfortable, it was not unbearable. However, the Imperial Army soldiers living at the bottom of the cabin were in a terrible state, and several of them had already fallen ill.
On this day, after lunch, Xu Qi ‘an was sitting cross-legged in his room. Dong Dong. there was a knock on the door.
Xu Qi ‘an, who had heard the footsteps in advance, opened his eyes and frowned. “Come in.”
The door was not locked and was easily pushed open. A short man stepped over the threshold, bowed his head, and cupped his fists, saying,
“My Lord,”
This short but burly man was the leader of the Imperial Army, the centurion,
Chen Xiao.
“What’s the matter?” Xu Qi ‘an asked unhappily.
He was a little angry that this uncouth soldier had no manners and disturbed his cultivation.
“My Lord, many soldiers are sick. Please go and take a look.” Chen Zhao seemed to be afraid that Xu Qi ‘an would refuse, so he quickly added, ”
“I’m afraid it will cause an epidemic and endanger the Lords on the ship.”
This reason caught Xu Qi ‘an’s attention. He immediately put on his boots and went to the bottom of the cabin with Centurion Chen Zhao.
“Thump thump ..
Under Chen Zhao’s lead, Xu Qi. an followed the wooden steps into the cabin. A heavy and unpleasant smell entered his nose. It was the smell of sweat, mold, and ammonia …
This was because the air was not circulating, but it was crowded with people. They slept and excreted at the bottom of the cabin, which bred bacteria, plus seasickness … Those with weak constitutions would fall ill.
Those who weren’t sick would also look dispirited.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, pairs of eyes looked over. After realizing that it was their superiors and the host of the diplomatic mission, the soldiers straightened their backs and remained silent.
Xu Qi ‘an walked to the bed of a soldier who was coughing and had a low fever. The so-called bed was actually a narrow and simple wooden board. This was the only way the cabin could accommodate 100 soldiers.
it’s not a big deal. I have the antidotes from the Directorate of Celestials. You just need to put one pill into the water and everyone who is infected will be cured after drinking one mouthful.
Xu Qi ‘an made a judgment. He immediately reached into his pocket, gently tapped the surface of the small Jade Mirror, and poured out a porcelain bottle.
After recognizing its master by dripping blood on it, The Earth Book and its master had formed a close connection. The Earth Book could take whatever it wanted, and there was no need to be afraid that the things inside would spill out.
He gave Chen Zhao an antidote pill and asked him to crush it and throw it into the water bag to give to the infected soldiers.
The Directorate of Celestials ‘high-grade pill had an immediate effect. The sick soldier was pleasantly surprised to find that his lungs were no longer uncomfortable, his cough was relieved, and his head went from being dizzy to clear. Other than still feeling a little weak, his physical condition had undergone a tremendous change.
“I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore …”
“I’m done,”
“Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.”
The rest of the soldiers also smiled, and they looked at Xu Qi ‘an with gratitude and enthusiasm.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded slightly, then glanced at the toilet under the bed. He couldn’t help but frown and chided, ‘
“What are you all doing at the bottom of the cabin? why don’t you go to the deck for some fresh air? With such a foul atmosphere, it would be strange if you didn’t get sick.”
A hundred people, a hundred toilet bowls, and they didn’t seem to be washing them diligently. This was equivalent to living in a toilet. The air was not circulating well, and spring was the season where bacteria was rampant. How could they not get sick?
It they could be more diligent, brush the toilet every day, and go outside every day to get some fresh air, with the soldiers ‘physiques, they should not fall sick easily.
“This …”
In the face of Xu Qi ‘an’s questioning, Chen Xiao showed a bitter expression and said, ‘”‘General Ying has ordered that we are not allowed to leave the bottom of the cabin or go up to the deck. Our brothers usually eat rations at the bottom of the cabin.”
Xu Qi ‘an’s face darkened. He stared at Chen Zhao and asked, “”Why?”
“General Ying has ordered that there are women on the ship, and they often have to go to the deck to take a walk and enjoy the scenery. He is afraid that we will offend the women. If you disobey, you’ll receive 20 flogs.”
The sick soldier coughed as he spoke.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t respond. His eyes once again swept across the dark bottom of the cabin, the soldiers who were standing straight, and the toilet at their feet.
The damp stench in the air seemed to be a hundred times stronger at that moment, making Xu Qi ‘an want to escape.
These soldiers had to sleep, rest, and even eat in such an environment.
Chen Xiao looked at him silently.
A hundred pairs of eyes were looking at him silently.
Xu Qi ‘an suddenly understood that this visit was a pretense. The real purpose was for him to seek justice.
The soldiers were also human, and they could no longer tolerate such an environment. Their hearts were filled with resentment. At the same time, in their eyes, Xu yinluo was the host of the diplomatic mission, the host appointed by the Imperial court.
They had their grievances and requests, so they could only look for Xu Qi ‘an. They also believed that only Xu yinluo could seek justice for them. If the organizer also told them to stay at the bottom of the cabin and not go out, they would give up.
“I only have one order now.” Xu Qi ‘an frowned.
“Please give me your orders, my Lord.” Chen Xiao lowered his head and cupped his fists.
“Please give me your orders, my Lord.”
The soldiers stood up and cupped their fists.
Xu Qi ‘an pointed at the deck and shouted, “”Get the hell up there and scrub the toilet.’
‘Yes!”
“Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.” let’s go and scrub the toilet. I can’t stand this smell anymore.
Cheers rang out.
