"It's just a small matter. Madam, you're welcome."
Qiao Qing smiled heartily and then asked: "Your clothes are soaked through. If you don't mind, I can lend you my clothes. Do you want to change?"
"That's good work." Xiao Lingyue said gratefully.
Qiao Qing took her to the carriage to change clothes, and the sky was getting brighter.
In order to arrive at Log Town as soon as possible, the caravan group did not stay long and extinguished the bonfire at dawn and prepared to set off.
There was only one carriage in the team that could accommodate people, and it was originally prepared for Boss Zhao.
Knowing that Xiao Lingyue "can't" ride a horse, Qiao Qing asked Boss Zhao and said with a smile: "Boss Zhao said there are differences between men and women, so the horse carriage is
Leave it to Mrs. Xiao and wait until we get to the next town to buy it. Let's get in the car."
Xiao Lingyue didn't expect the other party to be so polite: "What about Boss Zhao?"
"There is a cart pulling goods behind. Everyone else sits on the cart and takes turns riding horses. It takes another day to walk the official road to the next town. When we wait for Yuanmu Town, the journey is estimated to take four or five days," Qiao Qing said.
.
Xiao Lingyue had no objection to this and immediately got on the carriage.
The caravan set off quickly and walked along the official road. Because it was pulling a lot of goods, it couldn't go very fast.
Xiao Lingyue sat on the bumpy carriage and looked at the scenery outside through the window.
If Zhan Beihan's ship goes well, they should arrive at Yuanmu Town Ferry tomorrow afternoon.
As for her side, she will be delayed on the road for at least four or five days.
I don’t know what’s going on on the ship?
She didn't return to the boat on time. With Zhan Beihan's character, he wouldn't really risk going into the water to find her, would he?
It should...not be?
Zhan Beihan is not that stupid. He knows that she is good at water and has enough ability to protect herself.
Moreover, there is King Xiang beside him, so he will definitely stop him.
Although she was thinking this, Xiao Lingyue couldn't help but frown slightly, and she felt a rare anxiety in her heart. She wished she could reach Yuanmu Town immediately and find Zhan Beihan and the others.
Last night when Xiao Lingyue was in a coma after choking on water and knew nothing about it.
The wind and waves were strong on the river, and the ship was swaying in the middle of the river, making constant creaking sounds.
"Sir, the tide in the river has risen. It may be very dangerous if it continues like this! Why don't we stop the boat and dock it first and wait for the tide to recede!" The boss of the boat said anxiously against the whistling river wind.
The Ministry of Housing official also said anxiously: "Master, the wind and waves on the deck are too strong! You should go back to the cabin to take shelter first!"
King Xiang struggled to hold on to the railing and stood on the deck against the wind and waves. His clothes were wetted by the rushing river water. He shouted without looking back: "You guys go back to the cabin first!"
"Master..." the household official was shocked.
"Go back first, I'll be right back!" King Xiang ordered without question.
The three Ministry of Revenue officials had no choice but to return to the cabin with the guards. The captain of the ship was too anxious and did not dare to rush, so he had to lead the sailors to anchor first and try to stabilize the ship.
"Half an hour has passed, and Shen Wan hasn't come up yet. I'm afraid something happened... Third brother, it's useless for you to stand here and wait. Come back to the cabin with me first!" Prince Xiang frowned and advised.
road.
Zhan Beihan stood in front of the railing, his clothes rustling in the river wind: "Second brother, you go back first!"
King Xiang: "If you don't leave, how can I dare to go back?"
What if he impulsively jumps off to find "Shen Wan"? There's a big wind and waves, where can he go to find someone?
Prince Xiang sighed again: "Didn't you say that? Shen Wan is smart, good at water, and knows how to protect himself, so..."
Zhan Beihan interrupted coldly: "Only if there is no ambush in the water!"
King Xiang thought of the body of the man in black that Zhan Beihan had caught on the boat: "She should have made adequate preparations before going into the water, and judging from the wounds on the body of the man in black, it was obviously not her who suffered."
Zhan Beihan pursed his thin lips, his facial features that could not be concealed by his disguise were as sharp as swords, and his lowered eyebrows were astonishingly cold.
There was a pause.
When Prince Xiang heard his cold voice, it almost melted into the rushing river wind.
