Jian An Kee

Note 1: Sun Kuang was dead at this time, and the title of Marquis Wu was inherited by Sun Quan again, so he was called Junhou

Shenting Ridge is located near Danxi. After passing the mountains and walking for a few hours, there is Dajiang.I heard that the various ministries in Shanyue are fighting against the trend recently. The barracks that were originally stationed nearby have stationed heavy troops. In the past, the interrogation was very strict. We only hope to take the night to climb over the mountains, otherwise we will face a long day of trekking in the endless swamp. The latter is obviously not a wise move.

The vernal equinox has passed and the days are getting longer. Everyone hides in the woods and waits for Tianyan.

I thought of Sun Li, the child was always afraid of the dark, and at dusk he would cry and beg someone to take him back to his room and light the lamp.If Sun Quan was by his side, he might not necessarily cuddle with his father. The brat knew early on that it was safest to be around people with dragon spirit.

Xu Shi showed too much bitterness in front of everyone, Zhao Xu walked up to me and handed me a wine bag: "The lady is tired? Drink a few sips to moisten your throat."

I took the wine sac, uncorked it and put it on the tip of my nose: "It's very fragrant."

He sat down beside me: "Are you worried about passing the customs tonight?"

I shook my head, of course I couldn't tell him that I was thinking about my son, and slowly said: "It's just a little tired."

At midnight, a group of five or six people, including the Ami, all wore nocturnal clothes and led their horses through the lush grass silently.

Shentingling Mountain is not high, but because of the surrounding low-lying terrain, the view from the top of the mountain is excellent.Occasionally looking up, you can see a patrol team slowly advancing on the mountainside, the fire is like a dragon coiling in the mountains, and the night wind brings a pungent and cold smell of metal.

Suddenly, without warning, the horse walking in front of the left stumbled and stepped into the pit, and the man who led the horse was brought into the pit, making a muffled groan.

"Senior brother!" Ami screamed, rushed to the side of the pit, and shouted anxiously: "Senior brother, are you okay?"

The horse that fell into the pit struggled, howled and climbed up the slope, and started to gallop wildly.

It happened so suddenly, and before I could speak to stop her stupid behavior, there was a soldier shouting, "Who's down there? Password!"

I stood there, so shocked that I even stopped breathing.

After a while, the flames on the mountainside split into several sections, and a small cluster of torches left the large army and quickly moved down the mountain.

"Everyone, go!" Zhao Xu whispered, reaching out to pull Ami's senior brother out of the pit, and then he pushed Ami who was stunned on the spot: "Go to the lady."

I had already got on the horse and sat firmly, freed my right hand and bent down to hug her onto the horse, lowering my voice: "Don't speak! Lower your head." After speaking, I clamped the horse's belly and galloped in the lap grass.

"Who's there? Stop! Stop, or you'll shoot an arrow!" Several soldiers held up their torches, and heard the sound of bowstrings in their ears. After three clangs, three feathered arrows were nailed into the tree trunk beside them.

Faintly someone shouted: "Don't shoot arrows, catch alive!"

I broke out in a cold sweat from fright, so I just rode my horse and fled wildly, rushing down the narrow mountain road.

Dark night road, steep and dangerous mountain road, and an unfamiliar horse, I was really lucky to reach the foot of the mountain safely.The rest of the people have gathered, Shan is waiting for me and Ami.

"All here? Is anyone hurt?"

Everyone shook their heads silently.

Ami's senior brother limped up: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, he... lags behind."

I was shocked: "What about others?"

"Mr. Zhao must go to cut off the queen for everyone. I tried to stop him, but I didn't stop him." He explained nervously, and then lowered his head.

I looked around at the crowd, everyone was in a mess with disheveled hair.I glanced at the little girl: "Ami, you know the way with your brother, right?"

"promise."

"Okay, let's go. I hope Mr. Zhao will have good luck, and the God of Taiyi will bless him."

Ami's brother hesitated to speak, but finally just got on the horse.

When dawn came, I finally saw Dajiang again.The big river at the mouth of the sea is different from the big river outside Jianye City. The golden sun breaks through the mist and rises, and the brilliant morning glow makes the water and the sky become one color.

Ami's slender voice almost dissipated in the strong wind by the river: "Crossing the river is Shatou Town, and after walking another day, it will be the land controlled by the Han army."

I patted her head: "Is your brother's leg injury better?"

"Senior brother is fine, thank you for your concern, my lady. Last night, it was my fault. I didn't know Brother Zhao..."

I smiled: "Your child insists on coming out, remember not to miss it next time, huh?"

"promise."

"As for Zhao Xu, he can take care of himself, so we don't need to worry about it." I looked at the river with a complicated and heavy heart, and continued: "Go west and go to the ferry."

As night fell, the boat rowed across the wide water.The water vapor drifted away, and the moonlight filled the river, reflecting the light lines of white scales at the stern.Lying in the small cabin with Ami sleeping soundly beside me, but I didn’t feel sleepy, and stared at the top of the boat with rounded eyes.

I thought of Ah Li, the courtyard where I lived, the lotus flowers that had just unfurled in the small pond.Grandma was wearing a hand-woven robe, sitting next to King Wu in the pavilion, cooking plum wine with some money.

With the bright moon in the sky, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand towards me, and in the palm of his hand lay an all-too-familiar white jade pendant.

Everything in the past is scattered into smoke, and the sourness fills the atrium.I slipped my hand into the neckline and rubbed it subconsciously, especially the soft and smooth touch of the jade pendant, but it was indeed lost by me.I never thought that it was me who made the only remaining thought slip away at my fingertips, and even gave it to the evildoer with my heart full of joy...

The sound of splashing water never stopped, the hull of the boat shook slightly, and I turned over and sat up vigilantly.Looking up, the boatman outside the cabin was sitting on the side of the boat and paddling as usual. A guard named A Jia came in and whispered: "My lord, there is a big ship approaching."

"How long will it take us to get to the other side?"

"At least half an hour."

Climbing out of the cabin, by the moonlight, there really was a big two-cabin double-decker ship approaching.I gritted my teeth: "Go and wake the other two up."

The lights on the boat were flickering, the boatman saw it, squinted his eyes and said slowly to me: "Oh, my son, that boat is probably a warship from Jingkou, the little old man should stop and ask him to check it out."

Ajia woke up the other two, and the four of us were silent, our right hands resting on our shoulder swords.

The speed of the warship is not comparable to that of our grasshopper boats. It took less than half an hour for it to approach, and the waves caused me to lose my footing.A rope ladder was lowered from the high hull, and the end swung directly to my feet.A soldier dressed in red held a torch and shouted at us angrily: "The people below come on board quickly, don't bring weapons."

Ajia said anxiously: "My lord, there are a lot of people on the big boat, and we are going up to create chaos. You should hurry up and row to the shore, and there will be people on the other side to meet you."

I nodded, and was about to say a few more words, when a figure flashed out of the corner of my eye, but it was the boatman who suddenly exerted strength at some point, took a few steps to run up, and kicked his toes onto the cabin ceiling.The hull shook violently, and the boatman jumped into the air with this force, and quickly stretched out his hand to hang up the rope ladder.

Hell, another spy!At this moment, it was too late to repent, and I said loudly: "No, get that old man down quickly!"

A Jia jumped up and grabbed the boatman's ankle, but was kicked away by his struggle, and quickly disappeared on the deck.

Just when I gritted my teeth and was about to jump into the water and swim the remaining distance, the body of the boat under my feet was violently bumped, followed by a terrible whistling in the cabin. There was no doubt that the bottom of the boat was leaking!After realizing this, Ami's brother rushed to the cabin to pick up Ami who just woke up.

Seeing that the boat was about to sink, I was extremely annoyed.At this time, several rope ladders were hung down from the warship. In desperation, several people had to jump up to grab the ropes.Looking back, the stern of the leaky boat entered the water first, and soon, with a few thuds, the hull disappeared on the water surface, leaving only strings of bubbles churning.

I couldn't help getting scared: If I insisted on staying around that area just now, I'm afraid I'd be sucked into the bottom by the current!

The rope ladder rose slowly, and the five people were quickly pulled onto the deck.I combed my hair that was splashed by water in embarrassment, by scanning the people around me into my eyes.

Ajia and the others were almost disarmed by the team of guards and detained aside. Ami's eyes were full of tears, and his face was full of shock and fear.

If I give an order at this time, Ajia and the others will of course fight to the death with these heavily armed guards, but they may not survive.Losing them is beyond my power.

Passing through various purposes and causes and effects, regardless of their birth and gender, regardless of their past and future, they all have sixteen-clawed worms attached to their wrists, and their death and life are all subject to my orders, entrusting my protection.My life is closely connected with these people, and most importantly, I can give up at any time, but they must be ready to die for me.

People of insight claim that this kind of combination is suspected of collaborating with criminals, and many people despise this kind of self-declining behavior, but this kind of thinking is only valid in peaceful times, isn't it?In troubled times, all available resources are extremely precious. In times of crisis, ordinary connections can even save lives.

At this moment, for a moment, I thought absurdly: If Du Minghan persuaded me to plant Gu worms back then, I would undoubtedly agree.I was lucky enough that he didn't.

Ajia is one of the most outstanding guards in the north, and he shouldn't be killed because of his own mistakes, let alone a little girl like Ami.

So I signaled them to stop resisting, and walked up to a man who looked like a leader: "Take me to meet your lord." (Note 1)

The man hesitated and said, "What? No, no... You, come with me."

He quickly ordered with his subordinates: "All the rest will be locked up."

I climbed up to the second deck with the guards, opened the sliding door alone, and invited me to the cabin with a good attitude.I stomped my feet hard, and my wet boots left some sand in the entrance.

When I was young, I heard that the sliding door was closed, and a person stood still in front of the entrance.

His scorching gaze, even though it was blocked by the entrance, still made my cheeks hot.His fists must have been clenched, and the soles of his boots repeatedly ran over the sand I brought, making rustling noises, but finally did not cross the last shelter.

It took so much effort to get to Dajiang, and seeing that I would be able to set foot on the land of Jiangbei in half an hour, Sun Quan shot back halfway and cut me off again.

On such an occasion, I searched my guts to say something to express my resentment, only to find that he had already left.

"Click", the cabin door was locked, I shook my head with a wry smile, fell down on the steps in front of the hall, and quietly buried my face in my hands.
