Volume 3: The world is in turmoil, and the undercurrent continues Chapter 381: Hua Yourong
The five-story ship moved slowly forward on the canal. There were two two-story warships in front and behind, with five hundred soldiers on each ship guarding the tall ship.
Under the moonlight, I saw that this boat was about thirty-five meters tall, fifteen meters wide, and had a draft of four meters. There were thirty oars on both sides, rowing slowly. The lights on the boat were bright, and the sounds of singing and laughter came from
It comes out from the third layer and complements the moonlight in the water, which is really fascinating.
A woman was wearing a white skirt that covered her breasts and a gilt phoenix hairpin on her head. A pair of jade feet were looming under the skirt. She was facing the sky with her right hand on the edge of the boat. She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and sighed secretly.
"Is this girl Hua Xiangrong?" There was a handsome man behind him, wearing green clothes, with a trace of heroism between his brows, and you could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
"Oh? Master, do you recognize me?" Hua Xiangrong turned back to look at the man and smiled.
This smile is quite fascinating.
There is a poem in the capital that says: The place where lovesickness is drunk is the rain pavilion, and the flowers in the Qiong Yao Palace are full of beauty.
He is talking about the two oirans in the capital, Liu Sisi and Hua Xiangrong.
Liu Sisi suddenly left the capital two years ago and disappeared without a trace. Then Hua Xiangrong suddenly appeared. At the age of seventeen, a young woman is at her youngest and most beautiful. Since Liu Sisi, there has been no oiran election in the capital, but Hua Xiangrong
However, Rong Rong has become the top name in the capital. No one doubts this. Some even say that if Hua Xiangrong is here, Liu Sisi of Zui Yuxuan will be nothing.
"I've heard of it, but this is the first time I've met him." The man was charming and suave, followed by a follower who was even more handsome than this man.
"Even if you can look like Chang'e under the moon, only a flower can look like a flower girl." The man cupped his hands and said, "I'm Chai Rong, this is Yan Xiaoyi, I've seen the flower girl before."
Hua Yourong smiled, tilted her head and said, "I think this little Brother Yi has a jade flute in his hand, but is he proficient in musical instruments?"
Yan Xiaoyi immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I know a little bit, but it's nothing compared to the girl."
There are many women in this world who are proficient in vocal music, but it is really rare for men to be proficient in vocal music, let alone a jade-faced scholar like Yan Xiaoyi.
"The tide of the Spring River reaches the level of the sea, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide..." Hua Yourong did not answer, turned her head, and sang the song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" softly in an extremely relaxed manner. When Yan Xiaoyi saw this, he and
Chai Rong winked, raised the jade flute and slowly agreed.
This song was the most popular song last year, and countless people composed music for it among the brothels, Chuguan, and Goulanwashe, but in the end, it gradually formed the version sung by Hua Yourong today.
The song is melodious, like an oriole singing softly; the whistle is clear and clear, like a stream passing through rocks; one is twenty-eight years old, and one has mastered the music for a long time.
After a while, officers and soldiers came. The leader, wearing soft armor, cupped his hands towards Hua Yourong and said, "Girl Hua, it's getting late. Please go upstairs and rest."
Chai Rong looked at this man. He was the general of this ship. The tattoo on his left side was looming, his facial features were three-dimensional, and his skin was a little rough.
Hua Yourong stopped immediately and sighed: "General Di, I'm not a prisoner, why do you think it's so important to me?"
The man with tattoos on his face was about thirty years old, with resolute eyes and a reddish face that told everyone that he was not a local military officer, but came from the frontier. He was Di Qing, known as the Nirvana General in the world.
But I heard Di Qing say: "It is my duty, and I hope Miss Hua will forgive me. I will be responsible for the girl's safety in this trip. If anything happens to the girl, I will not be able to bear the responsibility. The wealth, life, wife, children, and children of my brothers on the boat are also with the girl."
For a moment, I asked the girl to put the overall situation first."
Hua Yourong rolled her eyes at Di Qing: "Just go back. Why are you saying it so seriously? Brother Yi, see you later."
Yan Xiaoyi cupped his hands and retreated behind Chai Rong.
"You two, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the third floor to have a drink, or go back to your room to rest." Di Qing said again.
Chai Rong cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, General. We'll go back right now." After saying that, he went upstairs with Yan Xiaoyi.
After everyone left, two figures walked over from elsewhere. They had obviously witnessed the scene that had just happened. They exchanged colors with Di Qing and headed towards the second floor together.
This floor is for the cooks, crew and servants, the second floor is for 300 officers, soldiers and Di Qing, the third floor is for drinking and daily gatherings, and the fourth and fifth floors are the residences of these dignitaries.
The reason for doing this is also because it can hide people's eyes. According to the treatment of high-ranking officials and Hua Yourong, this battle is not big, only two thousand troops.
In this way, the birthday card under the cabin can be transported to the capital without anyone noticing, so as to avoid the incident of the last birthday card.
"Sir, those two people just now should be quite skilled..." Erqianxun said softly.
In the room, Di Qing and Jiang Ning were sitting at the table, and Er Qianxun closed the door behind her back and walked over.
It was already August 13th, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and three days before leaving Hangzhou.
After Jiang Ning said goodbye to Wang Ruoyan and Liu Sisi, he boarded the merchant ship escorting the birthday party. After thinking about it, he decided to leave Xu Ning in Hangzhou. Although his departure from Hangzhou was extremely secretive, people would know about it sooner or later.
Xu Ning is his confidant, and Jiang Zhai's safety is also very important to avoid what happened last time happening again.
Before leaving, he even went to the General's Mansion and asked Tan Zhen to help take care of it. Tan Zhen was even more sincere and directly arranged for thirty soldiers to look for posts near Jiangzhai, in teams of ten in three shifts.
It can be said that they took great care of him. Only then did Jiang Ning feel relieved.
In three days, Erqianxun arranged all the dignitaries on the entire ship. There were seventy-three people in total, twenty-three of whom were skilled in martial arts, and Chai Rong and Yan Xiaoyi were among them.
List.
"Now it is certain that they have boarded the ship, but it is still unknown how many people are on the ship now. Since we are going to take action, we don't know when or where we will take action. We will arrive in Luoyang in ten days, and time is tight.
, if we can't find him again, it will be really difficult." Jiang Ning said.
Di Qing nodded: "But this group of people have special status and are inextricably linked to the court. I don't know who is the descendant of which emperor's relative. Offending them is no better than losing the birthday card."
."
"Of course you can't use force, but you can give it a try. My goal is relatively small. If possible, Yan Xiaoyi and Chai Rong can give it a try. How many people are there in their group?" Jiang Ning frowned.
Erqianxun thought for a while: "Well, there should be four people and two cooks living on the first floor. I haven't seen them interact with each other on weekdays. They say they still have some strength and went to help on the boat."
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up and he asked: "There are two more, help? They must have a problem..."
Di Qing was stunned, turned around and asked, "Why did you say that?"
The two have not known each other for a long time, only three days, but Jiang Ning's thoughtfulness is something he has never seen before, such as how to plan for these people, how to arrange their future itinerary, and how to get there.
