They followed Lu Chenyi's grain transport fleet from Lu's family to escape from the river and entered the chaos. At first, there were wisps of smoke on both sides of the river, and gradually there was no trace of deserted. On the third day, they entered the Baili Desert. The green reed marsh was boundless, and there were only a few water birds rising and falling in the distance. The grain transport ships rowed out the smooth surface of the water, and the sound of water was in his ears.

I heard from Fan Wenlan that merchant ships usually dare not stop at night when traveling for hundreds of miles. Even the warships that were changing defenses had to roar oars all night, bow and crossbows were swaying, and beat drums to make a strong sound. At the same time, it was to inform all the thieves that this was a warship and there was no oil or water to catch.

It was night in the blink of an eye, and the sky was filled with stars. The black reed marsh on both sides seemed to hide monsters that would suddenly hurt people at any time. The fleet was temporarily recruited, with only four warships, including Lu Chenyi's flagship, three in the front, one behind. Seeing that the warships in front were not inclined to beat drums and drums, and his passenger ship was following the middle and back of the fleet, he always felt that there was no guarantee. Annu kicked his heart and turned his head: "Brother, let me know, everyone will cheer up tonight, especially Fan Wenlan and the others. We will arrive in Ezhou safely tomorrow morning, and everyone will have a great reward. I will invite everyone to the restaurant to have a drink."

The night boat was actually very boring. Before midnight, Anu was already yawning all over the sky. Seeing Zhao Xi leaning on the bed, Anu pushed her: "It's really useless. You can't stand this sleepiness. Why are you a killer?"

Zhao Xi turned over: "I am only responsible for being there to kill people, and the intelligence is not my responsibility."

"There is still a division of labor? Is it like cooking, people buy the vegetables back, wash and cut them, and you are only responsible for swinging the spoon?"

"yes."

"How many people did you kill?"

"No chance, there are only five in total."

"Then what do you usually do?" Annu remembered that Liu Chang said that Zhao Xi killed three of his guards as soon as he came up, and then he occupied three places.

"My Xixi Pavilion is where the movie owner and King Liang meet."

It turned out that the underground transportation station, I think Zhao Xi was benefiting from Shen Wan's glory.

Zhao Xi patted her: "Let me regain my energy, maybe I can help you block it later."

Anu laughed sneeringly, disagreed: "By you, the land duck? Don't let me save you then. I won't tell you anymore, I'll go patrol."

She walked along the boat, and the soldiers on the police whistle outside were in good spirits and didn't see anything abnormal. After walking through Fan Wenlan and his cabin, a group of soldiers had already begun to take a nap. Anu stood still and called out Fan Wenlan: "Mr. Fan, I know you have worked hard for days, but this place is dangerous. If you work hard for another night, I will thank you very much."

The safety of the people was all about them, and Anu was very generous to these soldiers.

Upon hearing this, Fan Wenlan's old face turned red: "Girl, don't worry, this is the first midnight and the second midnight is the key, so when he saw them napping, the officials indulge in a little more. The prince told me to bring the girl back to Chengdu safely, and there would be a heavy reward, otherwise the whole family would be in trouble." These soldiers were all locals in Sichuan.

Anu nodded: "Along the way, I have been very grateful for my efforts and my brothers."

The two of them were polite and patrolled each other and then returned to the room. She had something to do in her heart, and she lay down and her heart was beating like a drum, and she was always uneasy. She stood up and walked around again, and Acuo opened the porthole: "I'll do it, you're walking around and clamoring for Pupu."

"Has he slept?" Anu looked in and was startled. She was filled with all the five Miao maids and four guards of Alei, all of whom were looking at her with bright eyes.

Acuo held his hand and jumped out of the window: "Some of them have bad water, so I explained it."

The two brothers and sisters sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat. They had not sat down alone for several years to talk. He was going to the sea, but he didn't know how many years he would come back. Anu was reluctant to leave: "Brother, do you really want to go to the sea? If you can't come back for a few years, what should Alei and Pupu do?" They had no money at the beginning. Anu and Chen Qian made the request to make Acuo a sailor so that he could go out to sea to see him. As for the future, I really didn't think too much at that time.

Ah misunderstood: "I just want to get on the boat and go out to sea to see it." That was his always wish. It was strange that a person living in the inland yearned for the sea.

"Brother, we have some money now. Buy some silk porcelain and let you get on board as a merchant. This will not be too hard and you can make some money."

"Okay, I heard from Chen Qian that a good sailor was trained since childhood. I am old." Acuo smiled, and his white teeth shone in the dark.

"Well, I look forward to my brother coming back with a wealth of wealth."

"Money Cat." Acuo rubbed her hair and sighed in his heart, "You were so young at that time, and you couldn't even cry. You were only a little bit big in Ayan's arms, and now you are too big."

Anu leaned against her brother and didn't speak.

"What do you want to do in the future?" Acuo thought for a while and asked.

Annu twisted his belt's hand and paused: "Brother, let's arrange the life of the tribe members to be busy enough."

"I mean you." Acuo sighed, "Ayan told me that Yundan is very good..."

"Brother." Annu shouted.

"Listen to me. None of us will go against your wishes, but you always have a man. The outside world is different from our Baimagang. Your father is also worried that one day if he has something, you will lose your support. We didn't dare to use the money you sent back to build a house."

"Why?" Anu was shocked.

"They don't let you know, but as long as you come back, you can't hide it. Since our tribe arrived at the Muya Grassland, it is not friendly to us with the people who are shooting the arrow furnace. Especially in the past two years, the Tubo people have built a large-scale temple. The locals have very much objection to us not worshiping Buddhas but just sacrificing the moon god. Even the lamas passing by have always told Luo Sang that we require us to believe in Buddhism."

"What's the matter with the passing lama?"

"The Emperor of Central Plains agreed to build temples in Yazhou and Lizhou. Lamas came from the hinterland of Tubo and were going to the Muya Grassland to see your dad."

"But even the Tubo people believe in other mountain spirits and tree monsters, why do they just cause trouble for us?"

“They are mainly Buddhists, and those are just accompanying.”

"Then we believe in Buddhism. They are vast and sparsely populated, so what if they give us a piece of land?" Anu muttered,

Acuo rubbed his forehead: "The most important thing is not the issue of religious belief. Since the tribe members arrived at the Muya grassland, fifteen men have died, all of whom are in their prime, and Vana of the Nada family, who committed suicide." In addition to birth, old age, sickness and death, a total of sixty people died accidentally on the road.

"What?" Annu shouted, and stood up in shock, "How could this happen?"

Acuo smiled bitterly: "Our girl is so beautiful."

"This is also a charge?" Annu was stunned.

"If you don't ask for a marriage, you'll be able to rob it. If it weren't for your father, the girls in the clan wouldn't be able to keep it."

"Vana?"

Ah Cuo wiped his face: "I was snatched back by a bastard and ruined it. When we snatched her back, we committed suicide. We killed that bastard, but Ah Lu was dead." Ah Lu was Vana's husband.

Anu was stunned and tears fell. She knew that it was not a peaceful and friendly world outside, but the conflict came so quickly was beyond her expectations.

Ah Cuo was very uncomfortable. He felt that he had no ability at all. The Miao people and the Wu barbarians had no fights over the years. [31 Novel Network] were not broken. They often fought for territory, and both sides robbed each other of their populations as slaves. Ah Lei's younger brother has no news yet, and his father-in-law's family is not a good choice.

Anu was anxious. She thought that she could accommodate her tribe members with money, but they were too weak and could not survive without strong protection. She regretted that she would not wait a few more years and wait for Yundan to gain a foothold.

"It seems that only the only place to find a place in the Central Plains." Annu bit her lip. It turned out that the Central Plains were in war, so she did not consider moving to the Central Plains. She went back to find Liu Chang to ask if she could ask for a mountain.

The brother and sister talked until late at night, and Anu fell asleep leaning against her brother.

Acuo was also drowsy. Suddenly, a light sound alarmed him. His body was constantly reflexive and reached out to touch the knife. Anu also woke up. Then there was another sound of water. The two of them quickly separated from each other and lay down.

Soon a black thing appeared beside the side of the boat. It turned a little. Before he could move further, a white light flashed, and his avatar fell into the water like a watermelon. At the same time, Acuo yelled: "There is a thief."

The people on the boat were shocked and they all picked up their weapons to drive them out. Under the hazy starlight, they only saw the water surface like boiled dumplings. The water thieves suddenly saw that the passenger ship was full of soldiers. They were very surprised. They whistled a long whistle and pierced into the water, leaving no trace.

Several ships in front and behind also called the police, and probably found a water ghost.

Everyone rushed to the side of the boat and saw only ripples in the water scattering everywhere, no trace of people were seen. Everyone did not dare to relax, and they were afraid that they would not be able to rob the boat, so there was someone who listened to the movement at the bottom of the bilge.

As a result, until dawn, the fleet drove to the wide river surface without any movement. Everyone was puzzled. After thinking about it, no one dared to move the warships around last night. Only the cargo ships in the middle and their passenger ships were almost attacked. Perhaps the water thieves thought it was a merchant ship and wanted to take the opportunity to find a ticket. Unexpectedly, the soldiers on the ship above thought they encountered an ambush and were scared away. Everyone wiped a cold sweat, and they really knocked away their luck by chance.

Lu Chenyi sent someone to ask in a small boat, and saw that all the boats were fine, he announced that he would move forward quickly.

The fleet arrived in Ezhou (Wuhan) at noon that day, and the ship was moored under the southern dike in front of Parrot Island. Nancheng City of Ezhou is outside the city, with tens of thousands of houses along the river. The jiaotan building and fences are tall and magnificent, and people are very lively. This is a place where merchants gather in Sichuan, Guang, Jing, Xiang, Huai, and Zhejiang provinces. It is also a huge trade transfer station. No matter how many goods arrive here, they can be sold clean in a day.

As we walked along the way, we were wild and deserted villages. Suddenly we saw a prosperous place and everyone's eyes lit up.

Anu did not break his promise and distributed the bounty to everyone first, so that everyone could go ashore and make an appointment to go to the Parrot Island Restaurant to have dinner in the evening, and they all dispersed.

She was about to go for a walk, but Lu Chenyi rushed over to express his condolences. Acuo, Hengzhu and others had already walked ashore with Pupu on their backs, and even Fan Wenlan's group of soldiers were gone. Anu had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with Zhao Xi.
