Even though it was a hot summer day and she couldn't feel much heat while sitting on the boat while facing the wind, it was still depressing. After all, Murong Yu wasn't by her side and her wet nurse was a new recruit. The guards only knew how to take care of her and her child's safety.
There was no need to mention how much he missed Murong Yu. At the same time, he missed Madame Zhou, Cui Er, Ruo Lan, and the flowers and trees she had planted in the Mansion of the Duke of Qin.
The closer she got to Jiangnan, the easier it was for her to recall her days in Jiangnan. Her memories of the Prime Minister's Estate were very faint, so faint that she would never even think about it.
If Murong Mingdeng wasn't just a simple Baili Yu, Yun Shengyue might feel guilty towards him. She knew what kind of feelings she had towards Baili Yu in those ten years, even if they weren't mature enough, they were real. Therefore, she had always wanted to return to his side, even if it was to be a servant or a concubine.
Baili Yu should have loved her wholeheartedly, but Murong Ming was not. While it was true that the Jade Lotus was obstructing him with money, it was his hesitation that had caused all of this. Of course, the name was not the root of the problem.
She had thought that she would be willing to be Baili Yu's beloved woman as a maid, even if it was as a concubine. However, after meeting Murong Yu, she realized that there was another possibility. It turned out that a man could only love and marry one person in his entire life.
Because he said that his love could only be given to one person, and that was her. He did not have the spare heart to face any other woman, even if it was Chen Jue`er, and could only let her down, and after having her, he no longer wanted to get close to Chen Jue`er, and only then did he know that there might be some problems with Chen Jue`er and could not bear to expose her. It was only because he owed her, and this was because he could no longer be with Chen Jue`er, that he gave his all of his heart to himself.
He didn't understand before that after he met her, he would only know that he would love her for the rest of his life, that there would be no one else. This was Murong Yu's promise to her, and when Murong Yu whispered to Yun Shengyue in the Bamboo Garden, Yun Shengyue's heart had been greatly shaken. To think that there was such a deep and strong emotion in the world.
Mu Rong Ming's hesitation was not a problem because he did not love her enough to put her first. Of course, it could not be entirely his fault. With his identity, the mother and son encounter meant that they had more important things to do in their hearts.
That was why she was so naïve. She naively thought that it didn't matter even if she became his concubine, as long as he treated her well, it was fine, but she had never thought that once he married another girl, he would also treat her well. Even if it was slightly better for her, how about it for a long time? 'Status, heirs. It's not like I've never seen women fighting over a favor. Isn't the fact that she and her mother were exiled by the prime minister's wife a living example? Why is she so naive then? '
It was no wonder that her mother had never expressed her opinion on the relationship between Mu Rong Yu and her daughter. Sometimes, when she was elated, she would sigh, and later on, she would wholeheartedly try to force Mu Rong Yu to marry her. She was afraid that she could already imagine the consequences, no matter if she was a concubine to a rich merchant's family or a concubine to the palace.
However, how could the previous her have imagined that there would still be such a devoted man in this world who loved her to the extreme? He didn't want other women, didn't want his identity as a prince, and even felt disdain for her position as the Ninth Five Supremes' Paragon!
Now that she thought about it, she no longer felt any resentment towards Murong Yu, nor did she feel any attachment to him like she did in the past. She could understand that there were many things that had to be done in the past, but now that things had developed to this point, it was impossible for her to start over from the beginning. So, if he wanted to, she would still treat him as her older brother and protect her for ten years.
"Madam, our ship will arrive at Weinan Pier around the time of Shen Nong. Weinan City is quite bustling, do you want to rest for a day before we continue on our journey? "After that, we will have to travel seven or eight days' worth of land." Black Thirteen said softly. Xiao Long and Little Tiger were sleeping not far away from Yunsheng.
"We have to prepare carriages for the road, so let the brothers from the Fishmen gang return on the road." For the road, we have to prepare carriages for the road, and let the brothers return.
"This …" Black Thirteen hesitated. He did not know the skills of those people from the Fisherman's Gang. There were benefits in having more people, but he could not make a decision because of the concerns Yun Shengyue had mentioned.
"Let's go ashore first. The fishermen have worked hard on escorting us. After we get on shore, we'll find a good restaurant and treat everyone to a good meal. We'll arrange our itinerary tomorrow, so we're not in a hurry." She knew that Black Thirteen would definitely negotiate with the other guards. In terms of experience, they were stronger than her, but she did not want to trouble others too much. She and Murong Yu truly did not have anything to repay the kindness of Jiang Wuchang and Auntie Jiang.
Weinan City was a large city near the river. It was also the location of the largest pier on the southern side of the Xijiang River. It was bustling with life and prosperity, with fishermen peddling around and people coming and going.
In a private room above a riverside restaurant not far from the pier, a few people were watching the boats docked at the pier through the open window. Watching the people disembark from the dock, this errand was very boring.
"We've received messages from the top. It's been several days, but we haven't seen the person we've been looking for. What do you think we should do if they don't stop at the dock?" one of them asked.
"According to our assumptions, we should stop here. In front of us is the Crane's Mouth Gorge. Ordinary merchants would not go from there. Besides, the influence of the Fisherman's Gang should also stop there."
"Yes, there are people guarding the other small wharves, but not as many as we have here. Watch carefully. After this is done, there will be heavy rewards from the higher ups."
"Yes!" "We should also do our best to reward them. Besides, we are much stronger than the brothers who are on duty tonight." One of them laughed and downed a cup of wine.
"What is the origin of the idea we are waiting for? "The higher-ups have paid great attention to this matter this time, and it has caused all the brothers on the banks of the Xijiang River to go through an endless torrent of commotion."
"It must be some great power. The Palace Master has already given the order. If it wasn't for this matter, we two brothers would have had a lot of business to do!"
"That's right. Now that the war between the north and south is in disarray, people are panicking. Many rich people are rushing to move to Jiangnan or Jincheng. If we can rob them a few times, then we brothers will have enough in our lifetime!"
"That's right, I heard that there are already many people who took advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, but unfortunately, we can only listen to the palace's arrangements."
"We, the Spirit Eagle Palace, are quite powerful. Why does the Palace Master always want us to keep a low profile? We're not allowed to show our heads. Sometimes, we're really f * cking unhappy. Just yesterday, that son of a bitch from the Seventh Lane actually didn't know our Spirit Eagle Palace's name!"
"That's right!" Too useless! "If I were to say that I could take advantage of the chaos of the next two areas and develop without restraint, directly taking over Jiang-Nan's Blessed Land. How great would that be!"
"I didn't realize that this kid's heart is quite big. If you have the ability, then you should choose to mix with the hall masters and altars first!"
"Tch!" Altar lord is the palace lord's confidant, how can we possibly have that kind of path! "
"Alright, just bullsh * t around!" Are you here to stare at the pier or to drink and gossip? Since we have entered the Spirit Eagle Palace, we have to follow the rules of the palace. Everyone gets a monthly fee, so why are you nagging all day long! " A man dressed in green suddenly walked in from outside the private room, scolding with a displeased expression on his face.
The other men immediately stopped talking. The man in green said, "I just reported it. The people we are waiting for will be here soon!"
"Really?" "He really came?" Someone shouted in surprise. It was a good thing that they did not have to wait any longer. Even though the following battle might cost them their lives, it was still better than waiting.
You two are the closest to the pier here, and if you leave two people here to guard, you must be alert and carefully watch them. The lord thinks that they will only be able to rest here for the night, so tonight they will move out, and then they will disperse to the surface and the surface to evacuate.
"Yes sir!" Two stayed, while the others left in a hurry.
In a house in Weinan City, the people that Mu Rong Hai had sent over were carefully preparing. They weren't completely sure whether or not the woman on the boat was actually Yun Shengyue, but Mu Rong Hai had said that they would not let go of the wrong person, so they couldn't relax at all.
However, they did not know where the people on the boat were headed, so they could only follow them. Aside from the time when he had rushed ashore to see a doctor because he felt uncomfortable with the children, he had never landed on the shore, and they did not have the time to prepare a full crew for that occasion. Furthermore, it was inconvenient for them to make a move on the river, because there were only two boats and twenty people on the boat, but there were still some small boats secretly giving out to them.
No matter where he went, he would always come ashore. After following him for a few days, just as he was about to lose his patience, the Weinan Pier was about to arrive. As soon as the Weinan Pier was over, the west river was pummeled by the green mountains on both sides of the river.
The people from the Spirit Eagle Palace had guessed correctly. However, although they had arranged many people to escort Yun Shengyue, they were not to be trifled with. Furthermore, Weinan City had a branch division of the Fisherman's Gang.
However, Mu Rong Hai had given the order to capture them as soon as possible, no matter the cost. It should be related to Mu Rong Tao's defeat, since Mu Rong Tao had pushed the responsibility of losing the city onto Mu Rong Hai. At this time, Mu Rong Hai had also received King Xiao Yao's order, so he had no choice but to make good use of his time.
The Beauty Pavilion was the largest brothel in Weinan City, and it was bustling with noise and excitement today. Since tonight was the day when the Beauty Pavilion welcomed new arrivals, the Beauty Pavilion would change at least three talented new beauties every six months. Plus, they had already announced a few days earlier, and on that night, not only would there be new beauties to see, there would also be many fresh talents that would be delivered free of charge in the hall.
Lu Shiyun was currently in the Beauty Pavilion. Although her beauty was not peerless, the purity and nobility of her bones could not be compared to ordinary girls. There were quite a few men who were good at these two things, and it was a sense of accomplishment to be able to conquer this kind of woman.
Mother Song felt that she had good taste in her eyes. Although Lu Shiyun was elegant and elegant, her posture was proud and haughty, she was not like those girls who were sold into brothels who would constantly wail and torment others for ten days or half a month. She was very quiet, very obedient, and could dance and was willing to perform on stage.
It was difficult for her to arrange for the three of them, and just as she was about to go on stage, one of them suddenly became sick, and his entire body was covered in red rash. It was simply too shameful, she had already spent a lot of effort to cultivate the three of them, how could she find a replacement this time, fortunately she bought Lu Shiyun in time.
She said her name was Clove, what a good name, she didn't even need to use her stage name anymore. Mama Song was overjoyed, but she did not let down her guard.
