Three years ago, Wu Ran became Liu Xin's captive at the wedding. According to the rules, Liu Xin had absolute control over her. He could take her as his own, as a concubine or a maid, and Liu Xin could also take her as his own.
She was given as an item to her subordinates as a reward. But Liu Xin did not do this. Instead, he released her home and gave her her freedom.
Wu Ran looked at the rolling river water flowing eastward, and her heart was full of resentment. Yes, she was free now, but was she really free? Maybe her body was free, but her spirit had never been free. For no other reason.
, just because of the rumor that he was destined to be rich.
Nowadays, the rumors are getting more and more popular, and Wu Ran is getting more and more distressed. Of course she knows that this rumor was deliberately spread by her brother, just to spread it to Liu Xin's ears. In Wu Yi's opinion, Liu Xin's thoughts can be
Everyone knows that if he marries a woman who is destined to become a queen, wouldn't it be more logical for him to become an emperor? Therefore, in Wu Yi's opinion, only this rumor reached Liu Xin's ears, and Wu Ran
Marrying into the Liu family is a matter of great success. If the Wu family can embrace this big tree, they can sit back and relax from now on.
Wu Ran is different from her brother. She does not expect to marry Liu Xin. She also lived in the Prefectural Mufu in Xiangyang for a few days and met Ma Yun, Bian Yu and Wu Ran. Liu Xin's
The woman was not only better in appearance than her, but she was also far better in talent and learning. If it were Liu Xin, she would not have abandoned his woman to marry her and then make her the queen. Wu Ran was quite self-aware,
It is very clear that those rumors are just Wu Yi's wishful thinking and are absolutely impossible to come true.
However, Wu Ran was a little dissatisfied. The rumors had been circulating for so long, and she didn't believe that Liu Xin had never heard of them. However, Liu Xin neither admitted nor ordered to stop this wave of rumors. What on earth was he going to do? Just drag it out like this.
It's nothing, but Wu Ran can't afford to delay it. A woman's most precious youth only lasts a few years. As long as the rumors continue, no man will dare to marry her home. Is she going to be alone all her life like this? She is unwilling to do so!
In fact, she misunderstood Liu Xin, and this wave of rumors did not reach Liu Xin's ears at all. Although Wu Yi spent a lot of thought, the content of the rumors was just hot pot fried rice, and there was nothing new. Regarding this matter
As early as three years ago, Liu Xin had made a conclusion. Jushou, Cheng Yu and others all believed in Liu Xin's words. If they heard this rumor again, they would just treat it as a joke. Who would go out of their way to report it to Liu Xin?
Where is Xin?
How did Liu Xin know that there was someone in Jiangxia who resented him? If he had known, he would have stayed for a long time to explain clearly. At this time, he was standing on the bow of the boat, admiring the spectacular scene of the river going east.
.Suddenly, the rushing speedboat that was clearing the way in front suddenly stopped. The building boat they were riding in went straight down the river at an extremely fast speed and was about to hit it. The sailors were in a hurry and dropped the sail again.
He turned the rudder again and barely missed the speedboat.
The fleet needs to maintain a certain formation when traveling on the river. If the ship in front encounters any situation and wants to stop, it must send a signal to the ship behind it. However, this fast ship has no warning before it stops. This is not true in the water.
It was already a relatively big accident in the military. Although it did not cause any damage, Liu Xin was watching from the boat. Su Fei felt a little confused on his face. He jumped onto the speed boat and roared: "
Why stop the ship for no reason!”
The sailor on the clipper said with a confused look on his face: "We saw the stop signal coming from the general's ship, so we stopped quickly."
Su Fei turned around and looked at the building where Liu Xin was riding. He saw a thin figure on the top deck waving red and green triangular flags randomly. He couldn't help but turn pale with fright and returned.
He jumped onto the building boat again. Fortunately, the two boats were now close to each other, so it was easier for him to go back and forth.
However, the entire fleet was in chaos, running around in disorder on the river. Two ships even collided with each other, and several sailors fell into the river.
By the time Su Fei returned to the building ship, the entire fleet had stopped, adjusting its course, and launching into the water to save people. Just when Su Fei was about to explain, Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Okay, I've already
I understand, this is none of your business, you organize everyone to continue sailing."
Such an unexpected incident also surprised Liu Xin, but he calmed down immediately. If there was a sudden attack by the enemy or other emergencies, the entire fleet would be in chaos like this, and it would still look like a well-trained fleet.
Navy? There is only one reason for this situation, and that is that there is a problem with the fleet's march command. The fleet's march is commanded by flags during the day and lights at night, and Liu Xin's ship is the leader of the entire fleet.
The flagship, various signals commanding the movement of the fleet are sent from this ship.
Therefore, when Su Fei returned to the building, Xu Chu had been ordered to capture the little guy who was giving random orders.
Lu Qiling stood in front of Liu Xin with an aggrieved look, lowered her head and murmured: "Godfather, I didn't know that the flag couldn't be waved, I just thought it was fun...ah...I don't dare to do it anymore...
…ah……"
This time, Liu Xin was really angry. This was not like in Jiangxia City, where the boat might be destroyed and people would be killed. Those slaps like cattail leaf fans fell like raindrops until Diao Chan rushed away panting.
He came over, grabbed him, and then stopped.
It turned out that after Liu Xin boarded the ship, she arranged Diao Chan and the other female dependents in a room on the top floor. After all, there were young men everywhere on the ship, so there were still many inconveniences for the women here. The wind on the river was strong, and Diao Chan
Chan, Yan Rui and Lan Nier all huddled in the cabin, but Lu Qiling couldn't sit still and ran out of the cabin, running wildly on the deck.
Sailors responsible for delivering messages on high-rise ships usually climb on the mast, so that distant ships can clearly see the signals they send. When some emergency signals need to be sent, it may be too late to climb up the mast, so the sailors in the uppermost cabin
There is a pair of backup signal flags on the deck. Since the backup signal flags are only used in emergencies, the signals sent here are often given priority.
Lu Qiling was running around on the deck, and she caught sight of the two conspicuous flags. In Lu Qiling's eyes, they were not signal flags, they were clearly two novel toys, so she waved them excitedly, adding some dance moves.
, which resulted in this chaos.
Although Liu Xin's slap just now was lively, but it didn't use much force, Lu Qiling still cried so much that she looked at Liu Xin pitifully. Liu Xin's heart softened, so she rubbed her twice and said: "
Just stay in the cabin, if you cause me any more trouble, I will throw you into the river to feed the fish."
After a period of confusion, the people who fell into the water were rescued and the fleet set sail again. However, Lu Qiling did not remain honest for long. Along the way, she made no big or small mistakes. She was beaten several times and rubbed again.
After several trips, we finally arrived at Wujun.
As soon as they entered the city, Liu Xin learned the whereabouts of shopkeeper Song. She couldn't help but laugh. She counted the days and found that there were still five days left. She was not very anxious, so she said to Yu Fan, "This person dares to openly sell relief food.
His behavior is bad, Liu wants to interrogate him personally, you go and bring him here."
Before the phantom spy was made public, it was inconvenient for Liu Xin to let Yu Fan release him directly, so he wanted Yu Fan to bring Shopkeeper Song here. As long as Shopkeeper Song left the prison, what would happen next?
Arrangement will be much easier.
Unexpectedly, Yu Fan raised his hand and said: "Back to my lord, this person only has the intention of reselling relief grains, but has not yet put it into practice. Although he has committed a crime, it is not a serious crime. I thought he would only need to be imprisoned for two or three months and take some measures."
Punishment is enough, so why bother my lord with a personal trial? My lord is tired from the journey, so why not wait for my lord to rest for a few days before visiting the refugees in Xuzhou?"
Jushu didn't expect that Yu Fan would actually speak for Shopkeeper Song, but he was doing Shopkeeper Song a disservice by speaking like this, so he had to make Shopkeeper Song's crimes more serious and said in a deep voice: "Master Yu, this person dares to resell grain.
, there must be someone behind the scenes! This matter is of great importance, so it is better to bring him over and hand him over to the lord for trial, and dig out the man behind it, so you can stop making excuses."
Yu Fan didn't know why Liu Xin and Professor Ju would pay attention to such a small case, and he didn't believe that Shopkeeper Song had any serious crimes. If millions of refugees hadn't arrived all at once, Yu Fan wouldn't have cared about Shopkeeper Song's purchase.
Don't buy food. It's good now. Jushou has also implicated some mastermind behind the scenes. If shopkeeper Song surrenders to the trick, wouldn't he be harming him himself?
Thinking of this, Yu Fan hurriedly said: "My lord, this shopkeeper Song..."
Liu Xin had no time to fight a verbal lawsuit with him. She put a straight face and said sternly: "Zhong Xiang, isn't it just a small crime? Why do you always push back? Could this person have something to do with you?"
"
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and this is how Yu Fan feels now. Although Liu Xin is not the king of a country, and he is usually amiable, but he has been in power for many years, and once he loses his temper, he also has a chilling aura. Yu Fan
He didn't dare to say anything more, so he bowed and resigned, praying silently in his heart, hoping that shopkeeper Song could escape this disaster.
Under pressure from Liu Xin, Yu Fan brought Shopkeeper Song here, but he was very worried and sent people day and night to find out the news. As he feared, the result was that Shopkeeper Song had "disappeared" and was neither alive nor dead.
corpse.
Little did he know that Shopkeeper Song, who had made him worried, had already arrived at the Guangling River and was commanding a group of soldiers to seize the time to move the ship full of grain ashore. These soldiers were sent by Guan Yu, and according to Shopkeeper Song's instructions
asked to change into casual clothes.
Qin Yi's ten army sticks were all healed from their injuries, and he kept talking to shopkeeper Song. Shopkeeper Song was able to come back within the time limit and get the food back, so his life was finally saved.
Guan Yu stood not far away and looked at the two brothers in trouble coldly. He suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "You spy, please take one strike from me!"
