After passing Hongyezhu, he walked smoothly and the boat was extremely fast. Except for when he turned right and almost hit the stone steps along the Caohe River when he almost ran away from the Xijiang River, there was no other turmoil. Zuotu arranged a strict defense system to guard against Feiyao and Anyao who were unknown where he was. Especially when passing by the Olezhu Wharf, he felt like he was facing a great enemy. He personally brought his most powerful troops to protect Xu You in the cabin, and lit torches on the deck on the first and second floors, which made the night sky as bright as day, in order to prevent the assassin from sneaking onto the boat, and to make the matter of leaving.

Until the Olebasa pier disappeared from everyone's sight, no abnormality occurred. Deng Tao came in to report after inspecting, and Zuo Qi finally let go of his heart and said sincerely: "As the husband said, Feiyao and Anyao are not here."

Feng Tongsheng, who was on the side, was bored in the cabin for a day and was very upset. He heard Zuo Qi praise Xu You and snorted coldly: "That's natural. Whoever dares to come and die again after seeing my Yuan's force? These two thieves knew each other, otherwise they would have been told that they would never come back."

Xu You smiled, drinking tea on his own, without saying anything. Deng Tao had not had any conversations with Wen Xu and Zuo on the deck before, and he was unclear, so he hurriedly asked Zuo Tao. Zuo Tao said Xu You's statement, and Deng Tao also praised: "Your husband is a great talent!"

Xu You said seriously: "The military commanders and all the generals are too good. If you were not fighting bloody battles, you might have already fled in panic. How could you have been leisurely at this time? However, there are still dozens of miles away from Jinling. As the saying goes, you can overcome poverty and be careful to overcome disasters. Feiyao and Anyao may appear in every waterway in the next place. You should not be careless!"

This is the saying in "Qimin Yaoshu", which means that hard work can overcome poverty, and cautiousness can avoid disasters. However, "Qimin Yaoshu" was written in the late Northern Wei Dynasty and was not yet available at this moment. However, these two sentences are simple and straightforward, and it is clear when you hear it. Zuo Qi and Deng Tao stood up at the same time, with their armor jingled, holding their fists and bowing, and responding in a deep voice:

"promise!"

"Okay, sit, sit!" Xu Youzhanyan smiled and said, "It's not a military lecture, so there is no need to be polite like this. I have something to ask you, so sit down."

Zuo Qi and Deng Tao looked at each other and found that in just one day, their impression of Xu You had completely become respect from the heart, otherwise they would not have subconsciously performed military salutes.

When the two of them knelt cross-legged, Xu You asked, "Is there a red horse on the boat?"

The red horse is the name of a small boat. It is painted red and has a very fast speed. It is like a horse running on land, so it is called the "red horse". In the Chu naval warship fleet, the red horse usually acts as a scout ship. When going out for battle, it is released twenty miles forward and carries ten people. It can not only observe hydrology, terrain and other information along the line, but also detect enemy movements and scatter intelligence between ships, etc.

"This is not a warship, how can there be a red horse?" Feng Tong said sarcastically: "Xu Langjun has been good at Yixing since he was a child. I am afraid he has seen all kinds of warships. I don't know that boats like our Yuan Mansion have always been focused on stability, decentness, cleanness and comfort. How could he take a red horse out?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Manager Feng has such a broad experience. I still think you are staying in the Yuan Mansion's house all day long, busy with trivial matters of family servants and maids, and you don't know what a red horse is."

Feng Tong was suffocated, staring at her eyes but didn't know how to attack. Finally, he snorted coldly, picked up the tea and buffalo and drank it, and stopped talking with a dark face.

When Zuo Qi saw Xu You mocking Feng Tong, he felt happy and said, "Although I don't know what your husband is going to do, we always have a Luluo on the ship."

"Lu Luo?"

"Yes, Luluo is smaller than the Chima hull, faster, and can carry three to five people. It is often used to patrol the major lakes in the Yuan Mansion manor to prevent some bold fishermen from stealing fish in the lake. If the husband is planning to use it for investigation, Luluo is not much inferior to Chima, especially if the hull is painted black, it is more concealed at night."

"Hmph!" Feng Tong was very dissatisfied with Zuo Qi's words, and it sounded like he was demolishing his own platform: I just said that there was no Red Horse, so you found a better ship than Red Horse. This was obviously embarrassing to me. Okay, Zuo Qi, you have a habit. When you return to Yuan Mansion, see how I will give you a good look.

"That's great!" Xu You ignored Feng Tong at all and said happily: "Military Hou, please choose three people who are bold, meticulous, have good water and good eyesight, so that they can keep a distance of about ten miles from the big ship when they ride on the radius. Once they find something abnormal, especially those who find similar figures to Feiyao, come back and report immediately!"

Zuo Qi stood up and left, and went outside to arrange the selection. Xu You said to Feng Tong again: "Manager Feng, I have a few words to talk to General Deng Bai. Why don't you go back to the cabin to rest first. If I guess it's good, there will be a big battle soon."

Feng Tong was so depressed that he was about to refuse. He heard Deng Tao coughing suddenly. The prepared sarcastic words came to his mouth and swallowed them back. His neck was red and he looked very funny.

"Then you guys talk."

Feng Tong stood up with a slam and closed the cabin door. Xu You didn't care. He looked at Deng Tao's burly and strong body, pondering for a moment. Deng Tao's eyes drooped, his palms were placed flat in front of his knees, and he said quietly: "If you have any orders, you will die!"

"It's not as serious as Wan Death!" Xu You laughed and said, "I just thought that if Feiyao really attacks, no matter what, I'll ask General Deng Bai to pick him up three arrows."

Deng Tao did not say anything, and then whispered for a while: "I'm not afraid of death, but I have something to ask my husband."

"you say!"

"I am just a hundred generals, but Feiyao is a well-known master. It is a blessing to try my best to take him one arrow. How can I take him three arrows?"

Xu You narrowed his eyes, a sharp light flashed by, and he smiled and said, "There is always confidence, because I still can't see through Deng Baijiang's true strength."

Deng Tao raised his head and said in surprise: "Why did you say this?"

"At first, when Zuo Junhou mentioned you, he said that you were at the ninth level of cultivation, but first killed Yueyao with one spear, and another spear cut off one of the arm of Kyao. The martial arts of these two should be between the sixth level and the upper level. Although they were seriously injured, with you missing the third level of cultivation, even if you were unexpected and it was possible to kill the other party, it was difficult to be so clean and neat. This is one; the second is just one hundred generals, just like you said yourself.

, In such a huge Yuan Mansion, there are probably two or three hundred generals. But why does Feng Tong, who is the chief manager of the Yuan Mansion, have to act according to your expression?...Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking. There is thirdly, although you respect Zuo Qi, you are not awesome. How do you say it? It's like he is a division, and you are the chief general. As for Feng Tong, you don't take it seriously, but he seems to be very scared of you."

Deng Tao was silent, and after a while, he said, "Young Master, based on these three points, I think I should be able to catch Feiyao's three arrows?"

"I'm not sure, but the Yuan family's clan is so high that there are no hidden masters in the mansion. I'm just wondering, people like you are an extraordinary person in any place, so why would he be willing to make a low-ranking corpse in the Yuan Mansion?"

Deng Tao suddenly smiled. This was the first time Xu You saw him smile since he boarded the ship. His face was so cute that he had a strange charm. He was still kneeling just now, and he didn't move, but the feeling he gave people turned into a mountain and a city in an instant, out of reach, unattainable, vast and far-reaching.

"It is rumored that the Xu family Qilang is just a vulgar, domineering and rude person who is not familiar with the classics, does not read history, does not learn calligraphy, and is not good at writing. He is a man of a rude and domineering the good. If he hadn't had some talent in martial arts, he could be said to be useless all over his body..."

Xu You picked up the teapot, filled himself and Deng Tao with tea, and smiled and said, "Thank you for a hundred generals. It's really not easy to find an advantage in someone like me who is extremely bad."

"Hahaha," Deng Tao laughed, with a heroic attitude, and said: "The person who said these words really should come to this ship to see how the vulgar and uncivilized man in their eyes took away the command, how to kill a hundred to stabilize the morale of the army, and how to take every step of the way to easily trap Katsu Yue Eryao in the game..."

"This is a method of battle formation, but it is just a trivial skill learned by the elders at home. It is not worth a laugh, and it is too much of a general."

Deng Tao's eyes flashed with a bright light, staring at Xu You's face, and said, "Win without being arrogant, defeat without being resentful, humble and respectful, graceful, speak like a glorious elegance, and walk like a crane. My husband, if I hadn't known you very well, I could confirm that you were not someone else's disguise, otherwise I would have thought you were a different person."

Xu You felt a stern and his sword eyebrows raised. He did not bother with whether to change or not. Instead, he directly grasped the loophole in his words and said, "How deeply do you know?"

Deng Tao chuckled and said, "Don't blame me, since you and Ji... Oh, after the Yuan girl got engaged, I have been ordered to go to Yixing dozens of times. The investigation information about you is enough to be placed three feet high on the desk."

He spoke very fast, and when he talked about "sacrificial sacrifice", he quickly switched to the "Yuan Family Girl", so Xu You didn't notice it. After listening to his explanation, if Xu You had been in the past, he would definitely beat Deng Tao half to death without saying a word. No matter who knew that he was secretly spyed, all his privacy was exposed, he would feel deeply offended. But Xu You didn't care at all, because in his time, background data investigation was just the basic skill of every financial action. Sometimes, the means were hundreds and thousands of times worse than Deng Tao.

"Accept the order? Whose order? Yuan Gong?"

Deng Tao admired Xu You's calmness very much, and could be seen from his eyes, saying, "There is no need to tell me about this forgiveness. But don't worry, I have no malice towards you. Maybe I should tell you that this time, the Yuan family sent Yixing to welcome Langjun was not our 100-man team. It was me who asked someone to ask the boss to make a temporary change."

In other words, Deng Tao deliberately appeared beside him, and Xu You smiled and said, "I believe you have no malice, otherwise you wouldn't talk to you openly. But what is your purpose?"

"My purpose is very simple, to escort Langjun to Jinling City safely!"
