"Now, I see how he shirks responsibility!" Wang Jiaju gritted his teeth.

The waterway from Linhuai County to Yangzhou is not a straight line, but you have to walk eastward for more than 300 miles along the Huai River to reach Shanyang County in Chuzhou, which is today's Huai'an area, and then turn to Caohe from there and go south.

Along the way, Mingzhu was in high spirits, just like a swallow out of the cage. The laughter always echoed on the boat. Even Li Qing'an's personal soldiers were infected by her joy, and everyone's mood became relaxed. At dusk, some soldiers would jump out of the river to swim and fish. Li Qing'an didn't prohibit it and let the soldiers take a vacation.

That afternoon, Li Qing'an's fleet arrived in Gaoyou County. Li Qing'an sat in the cabin and studied the map. In the past two days, he spent less and less time on the deck, and more information was sent from various places, and the atmosphere seemed to become a little nervous.

Even Mingzhu noticed this tense atmosphere. She stopped laughing loudly and her walking steps became much lighter. More often, she read books in her cabin.

Mingzhu's cabin is located on the third floor of the boat, which is spacious and bright. Mingzhu has sorted it out spotlessly. Her nature of love for beauty made her specially hang several paintings on the cabin wall.

The ship had passed Gaoyou County, but it did not stop but continued to move forward, but the speed slowly slowed down. Mingzhu was lying comfortably in the cabin reading a book, but she seemed a little absent-minded, her ears were erect, and she could clearly hear the footsteps of Li Qing'an paced back and forth in the cabin next door. Li Qing'an seemed to be thinking about something.

Several times Mingzhu wanted to go over and sort out the documents for Li Qing'an, but Li Qing'an politely declined her and said that she wanted to think about things quietly alone, which made Mingzhu feel a little disappointed. But in addition to being disappointed, she felt a little proud, which shows that Li Qing'an cared about her, so Li Qing'an could not calm down in the cabin. She comforted herself like to think about the better side of things.

A rapid sound of horse hooves woke her up from a daydream state. She lived in Anxi for a while and gained a little understanding of horses. She heard that it was not the sound of dozens of horses, but the sound of thousands of horses.

It is extremely rare to have such a dense herd of horses in the Jiangnan area. Mingzhu immediately stood up and looked to the shore through the cabin window. She saw more than a thousand cavalrymen coming from the southeast, while their boats were slowly docking.

Mingzhu was a little stunned. She was stunned for a moment, turned around and ran to the next door.

Li Qingan also stood in front of the window and stared at the arrival of the cavalry team in the distance. The arrival of the cavalry was in his plan. Li Qingan immediately packed up a few documents briefly. At this time, the door opened and Mingzhu walked in from outside.

"Brother, why did the boat dock?"

Seeing Li Qing'an packing the documents, she was stunned for a moment. After a while, she asked in confusion: "Brother, where are you going?"

"Mingzhu, I forgot to tell you that I will leave for a while and then go to Yangzhou."

"You're leaving, then...what should I do?"

Li Qingan stepped forward and smiled and patted her pretty face gently, "If you continue to take a boat to Yangzhou, some of my personal soldiers will follow you, and the local officials will praise you as a princess, and you will wait for me in Yangzhou."

"I don't, I want to follow you too, I can ride a horse too!"

"You can't go. No non-soldiers are allowed to enter the place where I go. This is a first-level military discipline and I cannot even violate it. Besides, aren't you going to Dayun Temple to fulfill your wish? Then you can also ask for a visa for me."

Mingzhu is not a willful girl. Although she is extremely reluctant, she knows that she must not be able to follow her. Li Qingan is just right. She is still a little unwilling to do so. She always wants to get something back for herself and can't let Li Qingan go in vain.

She thought for a while and suddenly smiled, "Then you promise me a condition and I won't go with you."

Li Qingan also liked her little personality very much, liked her cuteness, so he smiled and said, "Tell me! Let me pick the stars in the sky or go to the sea to catch the moon?"

"None of them are! I want to wait for you to come back and go to Dayun Temple to fulfill my wish."

Originally, going to Dayun Temple to fulfill his wish was just an excuse she made up, but now she is really going. She looked at Li Qingan with anticipation, hoping that he could agree to his request with ease.
