The teams were all riding horses. Because they had walked this official road before, everything seemed familiar. The team still set up their formations as usual. There were more than a dozen cavalrymen in front as vanguards, and Chu Huan was in the team, with cavalry wandering on both wings, paying attention to the movements on both sides.

When he was on a mission to Xiliang, many people from the Guards felt that at least no one dared to offend them in the territory of the Qin Dynasty, but later they were ambushed in the overflowing woods. Fortunately, Chu Huan had already made arrangements to defeat the bandits in one fell swoop. So this time when he went to Anyi, the Guards were careful and more cautious than the last time.

Although the Qin Dynasty is weak and there are thieves in all walks of life, the turbulent areas are mainly in the northwest and southeastern regions. As for other walks, although there are many unrest, there is no climate for the time being. The governments in various places have been working hard to eliminate the unrest. However, although the bandits have not been able to form a climate, there are naturally many robbers. There are even a large number of bandits. Although they cannot cause big trouble, they can still do small fuss.

It was quite smooth from the Beijing-centered road to Xishan Road. At dusk that day, Chu Huan ordered the team to stop and camp on site to rest. He did not lead his subordinates into the city. He only summoned Xuanyuan Sheng to come over and took ten guards to the city. Xuanyuan Shengcai now knew that Chu Huan's home was in Yunshan. Chu Huan passed by his hometown and went to visit him. That was reasonable.

He thought Chu Huan would have to return the next day at the earliest, but Chu Huan came back in the middle of the night and found Xuanyuan Shengcai, saying, "We have two roads to Taiyuan Prefecture, water and land. If we go by land, we will encounter many mountain roads after entering Anyi Road. There will be more roads to detour. It is estimated that it will take at least two or three days to go. If you walk by water, you can follow the Jingjiang River all the way north and reach Fenglin Duke outside Taiyuan Prefecture. From Fenglin Duke, you can reach Taiyuan Prefecture in less than a day."

Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled and said, "It's up to you to be the master."

Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "Walking through the water can save a few days, which seems to be more comfortable than going through the land..." After a pause, he was thinking and did not speak for a while.

Chu Huan remembered clearly that he had walked through that waterway and went down the river from Fenglin Ferry outside Taiyuan Prefecture, but it reached the boundary of Xishandao. Jingjiang was a big river in the north of the empire. The river was wide and winding, passing through Anyi and Xishan Road. It was just the last time he walked from Jingjiang, but did not leave a good impression on Chu Huan. The bloody meeting led by Lin Daier kidnapped Qiao Mingtang's wife on the Jingjiang River. A boat of passengers was implicated. Chu Huan and Linlang also met during that encounter.

This river road is very long. Because there are traces in my heart, Chu Huan was hesitating whether to go north from Jingjiang Shunjiang. He was not afraid of any changes. However, Chu Huan also learned that most of the soldiers in the Guards were northerners, and riding horses was no problem. The officers and soldiers who came with him were almost all good at horses, but most of them were not very good at water. They were immediately heroes, but they were a loser on the boat.

Although it takes a few more days to take the land route, it is a matter of abandoning the land route and taking the water route. Although Chu Huan did not feel that anyone dared to attack the two hundred guards on the Jingjiang River, he still had some concerns.

"Since it's comfortable, then go through the water." Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled and said, "Sir, I seem to be worried. Do you still think someone will dare to attack us in Jingjiang?"

Chu Huan thought about it, and Xuanyuan Sheng smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry. Even if there are thieves, Jiang bandits, I don't think they dare to die." He took out a ingot of silver from his arms and said with a smile: "Sir, why don't we make a bet and meet Jiang bandits, the twenty taels of silver will belong to you. If you are safe all the way, after you get ashore, you will lose twenty taels of silver."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "If we go from the water road, then we will arrive at Jingjiang before tomorrow afternoon. There is an Guandu by the Jingjiang River. Usually, the official boats are on the way. After I entered the city, I met Wei Tianqing, the commander of the Yunshan Mansion Imperial Guards. He has sent people to Guandu to arrange boats for us."

Xuanyuan Sheng nodded and said yes.

The next morning, the team set off and within half an afternoon, they had arrived at the bank of Jingjiang River. Guandu Wharf on the bank of Jingjiang River can be found with a little inquiry. This is a large dock, which is under the charge of the Grain Transportation Office of the Ministry of Revenue Department of Yunshan Prefecture. The Grain Transportation Office is under the Ministry of Revenue Department, and the Grain Transportation Office is under the Ministry of Revenue Department, and is responsible for ship transfers here for many years.

When Chu Huan and his group came here, a group of officials responsible for the transportation of the canal were waiting here early. The highest commander of Guandu Wharf was Du Cheng, who was not of high rank. Chu Huan was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was the boss of his boss. It was the first time he had seen such a high-level official in the Ministry of Revenue. He was careful. Before Chu Huan arrived, he had already sent someone to sort out the dock. Although he received the news that the Lord Chu was just going to board the ship and leave from the dock, he still hoped that the dock would give the Lord a good impression. For low-level officials in these places, sometimes the words of high-ranking officials can change their destiny.

Jingjiang is not small, and there are quite a few ships mobilized. Although many have left the dock, Du Cheng still tried his best to mobilize four large ships.

When Chu Huan saw these four big ships, he understood what a real official ship was. Compared with the passenger ships he rode on the previous one, the official ship was much more grand. It was easy to accommodate hundreds of people on a ship. If the four ships were really crowded, there would be no problem with five or six hundred people.

The four official ships were all cleaned up. In order to please the minister, each ship was equipped with a chef and a boatman, and he had purchased a lot of life needs in advance to put on it. Needless to say, the meat they ate was even equipped with rare vegetables in this season. Chu Huan had never paid attention to the show before. He was a very casual and simple person in life. This time he finally realized the benefits of being a high-ranking official. Everything was prepared by someone, and it was much better than what he thought. But he still didn't understand a truth. His subordinates always tried their best to do their best to do things for their superiors. The results of the work, of course, cannot be worse than what the superiors expected, and they cannot even be the same as what the superiors expected. Only by exceeding the boss's expectations can they be appreciated.

Chu Huan's identity is unusual, so when the arrangement was made, Chu Huan's ship did not arrange a few people. In addition to Chu Huan, Sun Zikong and two camel tourists, four guards were also provided on the ship. In addition, there were two chefs and four boatmen. A ship that could accommodate hundreds of people, with only a dozen people on it, became wider and even a little deserted.

Chu Huan's ship was ranked second, and the one who fought the vanguard in front was Xuanyuan Shengcai's ship. There were nearly a hundred people on the ship and the third ship had only more than twenty people, but most of the horses were arranged on the third ship. Except for seventy or eighty guard officers and soldiers, the remaining horses were all settled on it.

The officials of Guandu were so dedicated that Chu Huan could not comfort and praise him a few words. The crowd was suddenly filled with joy. Until the four official boats Yang Fan headed north, everyone still sent a few miles along the river bank, reluctant to leave, hoping that the minister could remember one or two.

Although the Jing River is winding, there is no fork in the section of the river from Xishan Ferry to Anyi Fenglin Ferry. You only need to go north and if everything goes well, you can reach Fenglin Ferry in three or four days.

At first, we left the ferry, and the banks of the wide Jing River were flat and we looked far away. When mountains and forests began to appear on both sides, it was already dark.

The chefs prepared meals as soon as they got on board. The other ships ate big pot meals. However, Chu Huan arranged a lot on the ship. The chef's craftsmanship was obviously better than the chefs on other ships. The food they delivered was full of flavor and flavor. It seemed that the officials at the ferry were also thoughtful. Although Chu Huan had a noble status, he had no airs. He asked Sun Zi to patrol the outside of the ship first with two camel passengers, and let the other four guard soldiers enter the cabin to have a meal together. These guards had previously accompanied Chu Huan to Xiliang. They knew that although this Lord Chu was young, he was mature, experienced, clean and neat. The most valuable thing was to be kind to others. Now that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he still has a meal with ordinary soldiers. At the beginning, the few people were a little restrained, but after Chu Huan said a few words, everyone became relaxed.

After a few people had eaten, Sun Zikong and others took turns to come in. Even the boatman on the boat was treated equally and sent someone to deliver the meal.

The official ship has an independent cabin, and there are already beds and bedding in it, all available. Chu Huan could see the shimmering river through the windows of the cabin. He held his hands and stood by the window. There was a crescent moon in the sky. The moonlight shone down, and the autumn wind came, and the river was light. Under the moonlight, the waves were sparkling, and a bright moon reflected on the river.

Chu Huan looked at the river and was stunned. Walking on the river, he naturally thought of his experience in this country, and Lin Daier's image came into his mind.

He only remembered Lin Daier's face, which was pretty but cold from beginning to end. Now, it seems that when he saw Lin Daier several times, Lin Daier was full of worries. The last time he saw Lin Daier was in Tongzhou City. That time, Lin Daier and another man appeared in Tongzhou City as fish sellers. Chu Huan could have taken her down at that time, but when he thought that Lin Daier's companions were all buried in the hands of officers and soldiers, they finally let her go, but he didn't know what she was in now.

Chu Huan actually didn't care much about whether Lin Daier was dead or alive, but the red stone obtained from Lin Daier made Chu Huan always confused.

Chu Huan first got the red stone, but he felt strange, and even thought it was a token that Lin Daier had, so he didn't think much about it. However, the white stone in Xuanyuan Shao's hand and the green stone in Yingren's hand appeared one after another, which made Chu Huan feel very strange. Xuanyuan Shao was a brave general of the empire, Yingren was the prince of the empire, and Lin Daier's identity was a little nicer, a knight who was wandering around the world. To put it nicely, it was a bandit. What is the connection between these three stones? Chu Huan is now interested in Lin Daier's identity and origin, and can be involved with Xuanyuan Shao and even Yingren. Is Lin Daier really just a female bandit wandering around the world?
