cpa300_4(); As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere on the entire dock tensed.

The entourage that followed me reacted quickly and immediately took a few steps forward, and the people brought by Wu Yanqiu also hurriedly surrounded him, protecting Pei Yuanhao's side, Wu Yanqiu turned around and walked in front of him to bow, and was about to say something, Pei Yuanhao waved his hand to stop his words, and lightly ordered: "Send Miss Li on the boat first." ”

"—Yes. ”

Wu Yanqiu nodded and saluted, and then walked towards the boat with Li'er, who followed him while looking back at us.

Then, he walked over.

I stood still until he walked in front of me, and the attendants around me were so nervous that they were holding their breath one by one, and the guards behind him were also staring at this side with wide eyes, and their whole bodies were full of strength, just afraid that if there was a little movement, this place would immediately turn into a vicious fight.

But when he walked up to me and stood still, everyone fell silent.

Even he and I didn't speak, just looked at each other so calmly.

At this time, the river behind him, which was originally only slightly undulating, seemed to sense something, and the waves continued to rise and fall, and the river water surged up in waves, lapping the reefs and stone piers on the shore, stirring up huge waves.

And he was still looking at me quietly, his eyes calmer than ever, even with a hint of deliberate calmness.

At this time, he spoke, "Would you like to travel with us?"

I was silent for a moment, looked at the boat behind him, and said, "If I swim with you, will this ship come back?"

He said calmly: "It's the same as before, but when the time comes, this ship will take you back to Jinling." When I am in trouble, I must be on time to deal with official business. ”

“……”

I listened to this answer, but I just looked at him, and still did not speak.

As before, the boat will come back.

This is his answer, but who knows, this time it will be true or false. When I wanted to leave the palace, he agreed, but in the end, I watched the palace door close in front of me, and let me face the most tragic scene.

As if sensing the vigilance and vigilance in my eyes, he looked at me for a while and said slowly: "Now, Jiangshang is quite calm. ”

“……”

"I, I don't think about the waves for a while. ”

“……”

My heart jumped.

I don't think about the waves for a while.

What he meant was that although Jiangnan and Jiangbei were now in a confrontation, this confrontation could maintain a temporary calm, and he didn't want to break this calm at this time.

……

Now there is no great chaos in the world, but in fact, the situation he is facing is definitely not optimistic, the implementation of the new policy is he planned for many years, in order to open the way for the new policy, he even uprooted many intertwined forces in the DPRK and China, including the Shen family, only barely implemented, whether the situation in the Central Plains can recover from the trauma of the war many years ago, it can be said that it is a fight here; however, Luo Shi and Pei Yuanxiu are sandwiched between the north and the south, if the two sides make a move, it will make him lose both sides, and the implementation of the new policy has aroused the resistance of those powerful gentry, if they attack together at this time, his situation will be difficult。

So, he didn't think about the waves......

For a moment, my mind sank a little deeper.

"Qingying," he suddenly called my name, his voice with a strange hoarse and soft voice, almost like his voice anymore, I looked up at him, and saw him say slowly, "Even if it's only this day—"

“……”

Even if it's just this day?

Does he feel the same way as Li'er, so he hopes that one day, a "family of three" like us can have a reunion?

“……”

I still didn't speak, but after looking at him for a long time, I slowly turned around and left.

The man behind me was still standing there, and I felt his gaze empty at that moment.

I had gone up to the guards who had followed me to the docks, and said to the leader, "Go back first." ”

When they heard this, the attendants were all stunned.

And the leader was immediately shocked, and looked at me in horror: "Madam!"

"I accompanied Li'er across the river to play for a day, and I will come back around the hour. ”

The man lost his voice and said, "No, madam, you can't cross the river, in case—" He glanced at Pei Yuanhao behind me, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Madame, forgive me." What if something happens? Childe has instructed to protect his wife's safety no matter what, but that's—"

I could fully understand his panic, after all, this matter was not a trivial matter, and I had thought about it all night until the decision I had just made.

I whispered, "I know, but today I'm just accompanying Li'er across the river to play, and it'll be fine." ”

"But—"

"Don't worry," I interrupted him, and looked back again, Pei Yuanhao was still standing in place, looking at us deeply, and I said to the person, "It's going to be fine." ”

The man was speechless, just looking at me in embarrassment.

I said calmly, "Don't worry, you guys go back first, and then come here to pick me up when it's time for the evening." ”

After speaking, I turned around and walked over there again, the person was still not at ease, and followed me a few steps, as if he wanted to persuade me, and seemed to be thinking of countermeasures, seeing that he had already walked in front of Pei Yuanhao, I thought about it, stopped and turned his head sideways and said to him: "Don't make a noise when you go back, Gongzi was tired last night, don't wake him up." When he woke up, tell him that he should not add fuel to the fire, just say that I will accompany Miss Li across the river to see the scenery, and I will come back later. When you get to You, let Childe pick me up. ”

When the man saw me commanding like this, he finally had nothing to say, but looked at me with worried eyes, and after a while, he finally bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

I nodded, and then turned my head to look at Pei Yuanhao, he didn't have much expression, he just said to me softly, "Let's go." ”

I was about to walk forward with him, when the man behind me suddenly said, "Madame!"

I stopped and looked back at him.

The man hesitated for a moment, glanced at Pei Yuanhao again, and seemed to dare not say the words in front of him after all, and took two steps back, and I also stepped forward from the good stream, and he whispered in my ear: "Madame's going to Yangzhou is also dangerous and unpredictable, and there can be no one around you." The subordinates want to bring someone over, no matter what, there is also a helper. ”

“……”

I thought about it, although if Pei Yuanhao really wants to do something to me, let alone one or two people, or these teams of people in front of him, even if he moves all the soldiers and horses in Jinling out, he may not be able to stop him, but his words also make sense, there is a person by his side, at least he will not be too passive.

So he nodded.

The man turned around and shouted to the teams of people and horses brought behind him: "Gu Ping." ”

As soon as my heart jumped, I saw a black, thin and strong young man walking out of the crowd, dressed in a green suit, walked up to us and hugged his fist: "My subordinates are here." ”

My eyes widened suddenly, and the person in front of me was Gu Ping, the young man I brought to Jinling from Yangzhou.

I haven't seen him for a while, he has changed a lot compared to when he went to Jixiang Village with me and accompanied me to Yangzhou, he has grown taller and stronger, if he is still mature beyond that age before, but he still has the childishness of a child, and now this one in front of him is already a man who completely exudes maturity.

As soon as I saw him, my originally tense mood couldn't help but relax a little.

The leader said to him: "Madame is going to Yangzhou today, you will accompany Madame and Miss Li across the river, protect and serve all the way, and never let Madame be wronged!"

Gu Ping said: "Yes!"

After speaking, he walked up to me and said with a stern face, "Madam." ”

“……”

I looked at him and couldn't help but show a faint smile: "Ping'er, long time no see." ”

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, looked at the smile on my face, hesitated again and again, and still whispered, "Aunt Qing." ”

The smile in my eyes deepened.

He continued: "Aunt Qing rest assured, even if you cross the river, Ping'er will definitely protect Aunt Qing," he said, and then glanced at Li'er on the boat not far away, holding on to the fence, and kept looking at Li'er on our side, "He's Li'er." ”

I smiled and nodded, "Hmm." ”

In this way, I took him to Pei Yuanhao's side, although Pei Yuanhao didn't hear what we said, but with his sensitivity, he obviously understood the meaning of Gu Ping coming with me, and he didn't say anything, just turned around and walked towards the boat.

I also walked over with Gu Ping.

The last to board were the Praetorian Guards on the shore, and when they were also on board, the sampans were put away.

And as soon as I stood still, Li'er ran up from the side and hugged me: "Mother!"

I felt a little uncomfortable in the boat, and I almost fell down when she hit me, but a hand immediately reached out next to me to hold my shoulder, helping me stabilize my body, I didn't look back to see who it was, just turned sideways and leaned against the fence, and also avoided the hand.

Li'er in his arms raised his head, smiled so much that his eyes were bent into two slits, and looked at me with a smile: "Mother, you still promised me, you are finally here!"

I wasn't in the mood to speak for a while, only smiled faintly, almost perfunctorily.

I know how happy it is for her to cross the river and accompany her to swim with Pei Yuanhao, and even has extraordinary significance, but I can't empathize with my daughter about this, even if I get a little closer to Pei Yuanhao, it will definitely not be a good feeling for me, let alone a good memory in the future.

But, seeing my daughter so happy, I feel that maybe it's worth it.

At this time, Li'er saw Gu Ping next to him again, and immediately said happily: "Brother Ping!"

As soon as Gu Ping arrived on this ship, the whole person was tense, after all, this can be regarded as an "enemy ship", and the people around him are also enemies to him, it is difficult for him to relax like Li'er, and he is more nervous than me, but when he heard Li'er calling him like this, he hurriedly smiled a little: "Miss Li." ”

When Li'er heard this, she immediately frowned: "Why do you call me that?"

Gu Ping obviously hesitated, and didn't speak in embarrassment.

In the past, when the two of them were in Jixiang Village, they did have brothers and sisters screaming, but after all, Pei Yuanxiu and I hadn't married at that time, and the identity of Li'er was not too clear, but now like this, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for Gu Ping to call her nickname.

So, I stroked Li'er's head: "Brother Ping, this is their rules." ”

"But—" she pouted, "when I was in Jixiang Village before, he obviously told me to leave my son!"

I smiled and said, "Brother Ping can't call you Li'er, but you can still call him Brother Ping." You don't change, don't you?"

As soon as she heard my words, her eyes immediately lit up, and she said to Gu Ping in a loud voice: "Brother Ping, Brother Ping, Brother Ping!"

Gu Ping couldn't help it, turned his head and laughed softly.

At this moment, a trumpet sounded from the bow of the ship.

The boat sailed.

The boatman pushed the boat away from the dock with the heavy bamboo pole, and felt a slight shock to the hull under his feet, and our boat slowly withdrew a few feet away, and then slowly turned the bow of the boat and sailed towards the center of the river.

I looked back, and the people on the dock were all rushing over, looking at us with anxious faces.

In fact, almost all the people around me are in such an uneasy mood, when I got on Pei Yuanhao's boat, not only the people in Jinling were flustered, but I was afraid that the people in Yangzhou would not be stable.

Only Li'er is the only one who is happy and the happiest.

She looked at me with a smile, and then looked at Pei Yuanhao next to her, as if she didn't know how to express her pleasure, just at this time, the waves gradually rose, stirring up huge waves on the bow of the boat, she pulled Gu Ping's sleeve and said: "Brother Ping, come, I'll take you to the bow of the boat to see, you can see a lot of fish." ”

Gu Ping was still a little unable to come back to his senses, and he had been dragged over by her.

Standing on the deck, I felt the hull of the boat rise and fall slightly with the waves, and some small water foams were blown by the wind and blew on my face, bringing a burst of coolness.

I leaned against the fence and watched the snow-white spray under my feet.

At this moment, a man walked up to me.

I still didn't look back, but even if I didn't look back, I could feel the strength and oppression of his breath, and in an instant he enveloped the person, as if he was locked in an invisible cage, and even his breathing was under his control.
