Chapter 980: Even if only this day ...

With this appearance, the atmosphere on the dock was tense.
The followers who followed me responded very quickly, and immediately took a few steps, and the people brought by Wu Yanqiu hurriedly gathered around and guarded Pei Yuanzhang. Wu Yanqiu turned and walked in front of him to worship and was about to speak With a wave of his hand, Pei Yuanzhang stopped his words, and said lightly: "Send Miss Li to the ship first."
"--Yes."
Wu Yanqiu nodded and saluted, and then took Lier to the boat, while Lier followed him and kept looking at us.
Then he came over.
I stood still, until he came to me. The servants around him were already nervous and held their breath. The guards behind him looked at each other with wide eyes and raised their strength. I'm afraid that there will be a little movement, and it will immediately turn into a fighting.
But when he came to stand before me, everyone was quiet.
Even he and I didn't speak, just looked at each other so calmly.
At this time, the river that was only slightly undulating behind him seemed to be sensing something. The waves were constantly undulating, and the river was pouring in waves, beating the reefs and stone pier on the shore, causing huge waves.
And he looked at me quietly, his eyes were calmer than ever, even with a hint of calmness.
At this moment, he said, "Would you like to travel with us?"
I was silent for a while, looking at the boat behind him, and then said, "If I swim with you, will this boat return?"
He said calmly: "It's the same as before, but in time, this boat will take you back to Jinling. It's time to handle business on time."
"..."
I heard this answer, but I just looked at him and still didn't speak.
As before, the boat will return.
This is his answer, but who knows, this time it is true or false. When I wanted to leave the palace, he also agreed, but in the end, it made me watch the palace door close in front of me, and let me face this worst scene.
It seemed to feel alert and vigilant in my eyes. He looked at me for a while and slowly said, "Now the river is still calm."
"..."
"Well, don't want to make waves for the time being."
"..."
My heart throbbed.
Do not want to make waves for the time being.
What he meant was that although Jiangnan Jiangbei was confronting each other, this confrontation could maintain a temporary calm, and he did not want to break the peace at this time.
...
There is no chaos in the world, but in fact the situation he faces is definitely not optimistic. The implementation of the new policy is that he planned for many years. In order to open the way to the new policy, he even pulled out many rooted forces in the North Korea, including the Shen family. It was barely able to carry out, whether the situation in the Central Plains can recover from the trauma of war years ago, it can be said that this is a fight; however, Luo Shi and Pei Yuanxiu sandwiched him from the north and the south. If both sides make a shot, he will be frustrated on both ends. And the implementation of the new policy has stirred up the resistance of those powerful gentry. If they attacked at this time, his situation would be difficult.
So he didn't want to make waves ...
For a moment, my thoughts fell a little deep.
"Green baby," he suddenly called my name, his voice was a little husky and soft, almost no longer his voice, I looked up at him and saw him slowly said: "Even if Only this day— "
"..."
Even if only this day?
Does he also feel the same way as Lier, so hope that this day, a family of three can be reunited once?
"..."
I still didn't speak, but after watching him for a long time, I slowly turned around and left.
The person behind was still standing there, and I felt his eyes vacant at that moment.
And I have come to the team of guards who followed me to the dock, and said to the leader, "Go back first."
When I heard this, the attendants were all stunned.
And the leader immediately panicked, and looked at me in horror: "Madam!"
"I accompany Lier across the river to play for a day, and I will be back in a hurry."
The man lost his voice: "No! Madam, you can't cross the river, just in case--" He looked at Pei Yuanzhang behind me, took a step forward, and lowered his voice: "Mrs. forgive me. What if something happens? The son had commanded to protect his wife's safety anyway, but that— "
I can fully understand his panic. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and I also considered the decision all night long.
I said softly: "I know, but today I just accompany Lier to play with the river, nothing will happen."
"but--"
"Don't worry," I interrupted him and glanced back again. Pei Yuanzhang was still standing there, looking at us deeply, and I said to that person, "Nothing will happen."
The man was speechless and just looked at me in embarrassment.
I said calmly: "Don't worry, you go back first and come here to pick me up when it's late at night."
After that, I turned around and walked over there. The man was still not assured and followed me a few steps. He seemed to want to persuade me, and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures. Seeing that he had reached Pei Yuanzhang Before I thought about it, I stopped and stepped over my head and said to him, "Don't say anything when you go back. The boy was tired last night, don't go to wake him up. When he wakes up, just tell him, don't. Do n’t cheer, just say that I will accompany Miss Li to cross the river to see the scenery, and I will come back later. When the time comes, let my son pick me up. "
The man saw that I had ordered this, and finally had nothing to say. He just looked at me with anxiety, for a long while, and finally bowed his head, "Yes."
I nodded, and then turned to look at Pei Yuanzhang. He didn't have much expression and just said to me gently, "Let's go."
I was about to go forward with him, and then the man behind him suddenly said, "Madam!"
I stopped and looked back at him.
The man froze and looked at Pei Yuanzhang again. It seemed that he did not dare to speak in his presence after all, and took another two steps. I walked forward as well as good, and he attached it to my ear. He said lightly: "Mrs. Yang's trip to Yangzhou is also dangerous and unpredictable. There can't be no one around. The subordinate wants his wife to take someone there, no matter what, there is a helper."
"..."
I thought about it, although if Pei Yuanzhang really wanted to do to me, let alone these two people, or the teams in front of him, even if Jinling's soldiers and horses were moved out, he might not be able to stop him, but he It makes sense, too, to have someone around, at least not too passive.
So nodded.
The man turned back and shouted to the teams of men and women behind him: "Gu Ping."
When I jumped in my heart, I saw a dark, skinny guy out of the crowd, in a Tsing Yi costume, and came to us with a fist: "My subordinate is here."
I opened my eyes suddenly. The person in front of me was Gu Ping, the guy I brought from Yangzhou to Jinling.
I have n’t seen him for a while. He ’s changed a lot when he went to Jixiang Village with me and went to Yangzhou with me. He has grown taller and stronger. If he had matured beyond that age, he still had a childish childishness. Now, this one is already a man who exudes a mature atmosphere completely.
When I saw him, I could not help but relax a bit.
The chief said to him: "Mrs. is going to Yangzhou to play today, you will accompany your wife and Miss Li to cross the river. You will be protected all the way, and you will wait for them. You must not let your wife be wronged!"
Gu Pingdao: "Yes!"
After that, he came to me and said solemnly, "Madam."
"..."
I looked at him and couldn't help but show a slight smile: "Pinger, it's been a long time."
He seemed hesitant, looking at the smile on my face, hesitating again and again, still whispering: "Aunt Qing."
The smile in my eyes grew deeper.
He went on to say: "Aunt Qing is assured that despite crossing the river, Ping'er will definitely protect Qing Ai," he said, glancing at the fence on the boat not far away, and always watching Lier on our side, " And away. "
I smiled and nodded: "Yes."
With that said, I took him to Pei Yuanzhang. Although Pei Yuanzhang didn't hear what we said, he clearly understood the significance of Gu Ping coming with me because of his sensitivity, and did n’t say much, just turned Turn over and walk towards the boat.
I also took Gu Ping and walked over.
The last to board the ship were those of the Guards on the shore. After they got on board, the sampan was closed.
And when I stood still, Lier ran up from the side and hugged me: "Mother!"
I felt a little uncomfortable on the boat. She almost fell because of this bump, and immediately behind me stretched out a hand to support my shoulder, helping me stabilize my figure. I did not look back. Who it was, just leaned over to lean on the fence and avoided the hand.
Lier in her arms raised her head, her eyes were bent into two seams with a smile, and she smiled at me: "Mother, you still promised me, you finally came!"
I didn't have the mood to speak for a moment, only a faint, almost perfunctory smile.
I know that I am willing to cross the river and willing to accompany her to travel with Pei Yuanzhang, how happy she is, and even of extraordinary significance, but I ca n’t empathize with my daughter, even with Pei Yuanzhang A little distance is definitely not a good feeling for me, and it will not be a good memory in the future.
However, looking at her daughter so happy, she felt that it might be worth it.
At this moment, Lier saw Gu Ping next to him and immediately said happily: "Brother Ping!"
When Gu Ping arrived on this ship, the whole person was tense. After all, this was regarded as an "enemy ship". The people around him were also enemies to him. It was difficult for him to relax like Lier and compare I was more nervous, but when I heard Lier calling him like this, I hurried a little smile: "Miss Li."
Upon hearing this, he frowned, "Why do you call me that?"
Gu Ping apparently hesitated for a moment, and didn't speak in some embarrassment.
Before, when they were in Jixiang Village, the brothers and sisters really barked, but after all, Pei Yuanxiu and I were not married at that time, and the identity of the children was not too clear. But now, Gu Ping called her Xiaoming, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
So I stroked Lier's head lightly: "Brother Ping, they have their rules."
"But—" she pursed. "When he was in Jixiang Village before, he told me to leave!"
I laughed: "Brother Ping can't tell you to leave, but you can also call him Brother Ping. You won't change, won't it?"
When she heard me, she immediately opened her eyes and said to Gu Ping, "Ping brother Ping brother Ping brother!"
Gu Ping couldn't help but tilted his head and smiled softly.
At this moment, a trumpet came from the bow.
Sailing.
The boatman pushed the boat away from the dock with a heavy bamboo pole, and felt a slight shock at the foot of the boat. Our boat slowly exited a few feet away, and then slowly turned the bow and sailed towards Jiangxin.
I glanced back, those people on the dock came over and looked at us with anxiety.
In fact, almost everyone around me was in such an uneasy mood. When I boarded Pei Yuanzhang's boat, not only the people in Jinling were flustered, but also the people in Yangzhou would not be stable.
Only Lier is the only happiest and happiest.
She looked at me with a smile and looked at Pei Yuanzhang next to her. It seemed that she didn't know how to express her happiness. At this moment, the waves were gradually rising, and a huge wave was stirred at the bow of the boat. She pulled Gu Flat sleeve said: "Brother Ping, come here, I will take you to the bow to see, you can see a lot of fish."
Gu Ping was still unable to return, she was dragged by her.
I stood on the deck, feeling the ship's hull slightly undulating with the waves, and some fine water droplets were blown to the face by the wind, bringing a burst of coolness.
I leaned on the fence and silently watched the snow-white spray that was constantly splashing under my feet.
At this moment, a person came to me.
I still did n’t look back, but even if I did n’t look back, I could feel the powerful and oppressive feeling of his breath, and surrounded him in an instant, as if locked in an invisible cage, even breathing under his control. .
