It takes more time to get to Luoyang by water than by land. If there is no accident, it will take about five days.

They did not stop at the port closest to Luoyang, but chose to go to the nearest small town first and go overland.After being tracked before, they really need to be more careful about their appearance this time, and it seems that camouflage is also necessary.

The moon rose and set, and this was their second day on the water.

It was Qu Mo's first time on a boat, but he didn't experience seasickness. Instead, Wen Yelan's face was frighteningly pale.

Mei Xiang was not around, Mei Lan took care of Qu Mo, and the job of serving Wen Yelan fell to Xiao Jin.

Wen Yelan didn't sleep all night, and vomited in the middle of the night. She seemed to lose a lot of weight.Xiao Jin made some white porridge, and pushed open the door of the room. Wen Yelan was wearing only a thin lewd garment and sat leaning against the window. The sea breeze blew in from outside. He squinted his eyes slightly, letting the breeze blow his hair up and down.

Xiao Jin pushed the door open and came in, and the slight sound of the door attracted the other party's attention.Wen Yelan turned her head to look at him, she was determined, she didn't say anything, she just looked at Xiao Jin quietly and closely.

Xiao Jin found that the sick Wen Yelan became like a clingy sheep.

First Young Master Wen, who had been staring at him, seemed to be full of grievances and pitiful at this moment. The smile on the corner of Xiao Jin's mouth never stopped.

Xiao Jin walked up to him with the porridge in his hands, and put the porridge on the long collapsed table. Wen Yelan didn't need him to say anything, and obediently picked up the bowl by himself and drank it in small sips.

"I know it's hard, but I've been watching the sky at night for the past two days. Maybe there will be a heavy rain. I think we still need to let the boatman speed up the boat." Seeing that he was almost drunk, Xiao Jin took out a wrapped bag from his clothes. A small bag of pastries was passed up.

Wen Yelan put down the bowl in his hand, his eyes lit up when he saw what Xiao Jin pushed over, but he was quickly suppressed by his pretended calmness.

"As you said, I'm fine." Wen Yelan looked at Xiao Jin, and then his eyes fell on the bag of pastries, as if his eyes were glued to it.

Xiao Jin smiled, opened the pastry, and noticed that the eyes of the person opposite were brighter, and the smile in them was deeper.

"Let's eat." Xiao Jin pushed the spread pastry towards him again.

"I'll give it a try." Wen Yelan glanced at him, stretched out his fingers to pinch a piece, put it into his mouth and took a small bite. After tasting it, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and his face was not so gloomy.

"According to what the boatman said, if you speed up the boat, you will probably be able to reach the land tomorrow evening. But during this time, the boat's ferry will probably increase. Can you bear it?" Xiao Jin put his hand on Xiao Jin's lips. A sticky crumb of pastry was wiped off.

In the past two days, Wen Yelan has gotten used to his ambiguous gestures, and he didn't dodge at first, so he accepted it calmly.He swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said: "I think the weather these two days is really not good. If there is a heavy rain, it is not appropriate for us to stay at sea."

After a pause, he went on to say: "Your consideration is very good, I am in good condition today, you... don't need to worry too much."

"Your face is still a little pale." Xiao Jin suddenly reached out and rubbed Wen Yelan's cheek.

Wen Yelan's pale face had two blushes, reflecting his cleanliness and beauty.

"I'm... fine." Wen Yelan tilted his head slightly, allowing Xiao Jin's somewhat warm hands to leave his face.

"I'll get some porridge later, so you can have a good sleep." Xiao Jin tidied up the things on the table, told him, and left.

Wen Yelan sat alone in front of the window for a long time after he left, and he didn't touch the pastries left on the table.

After Xiao Jin left the room, he stood at the door for a long time.He was a little impatient. In the current situation, it is impossible to talk about the children's personal relationship.

Qu Mo rushed out from the corner, and saw his "father" standing in front of the door of "mother"'s room with a serious face.He rolled his eyes, rushed to Xiao Jin, grabbed Xiao Jin's pants, and asked curiously: "Daddy, did you get kicked out of the room by your mother?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jin's face was full of black lines, who instilled this kind of knowledge in Qu Mo.

Xiao Jin glanced at the child hanging on his lap like a koala, really angry and funny.

"Do you think your mother is willing to drive your father out?" Xiao Jin dragged something with one hand, and pulled the little fat man Qu Mo away with the other hand.

Qu Mo blinked, smiled foolishly and said, "That's right, your mother and father are sleeping together, why are you arguing?"

"Ahem." Xiao Jin almost choked on his own saliva when he said that.

"Uncle Boatman said, he and his mother-in-law are fighting at the head of the bed and fighting at the end of the bed. When the mother-in-law is angry, just put her on the bed and they will make up tomorrow." Dad, if you and your mother-in-law really quarrel Do you want to put the empress on the bed too? Then you will reconcile tomorrow."

"Cough cough!!"

Just as Xiao Jin calmed down, Qu Mo's next words made him cough even worse.Most of the boatmen are simple, bold and cheerful people, and they don’t hide their words. Qu Moxiao doesn’t know what they mean, but Xiao Jin is a person who has lived for two lives. What is lying on the bed? You don't have to guess what's going on.

"Ahem, Qu Mo, where's sister Mei Lan?" Xiao Jin squatted down, and Qu Mo looked at each other.

Qu Mo, who was originally bright and energetic, was asked by him, and his eyes averted a little when he remembered that he escaped sister Mei Lan and ran out alone.He swayed his body swayingly, pawing back and forth with his two chubby hands: "Father, Madam is in good health, I will come to see him again, I will go to Sister Mei Lan first."

Qu Mo ran away after finishing speaking, leaving Xiao Jin with a helpless face behind.After Qu Mo followed them, his personality became more and more cheerful and bold, and also more and more mischievous, but he also knows how to advance and retreat. Wei Tingyu taught him very well, and Wen Yelan also taught him from the side, but Qu Mo's nature is Not bad.

After drifting on the sea for three days, their boat finally arrived at a small sea town in Luoyang.Xiao Jin and the others changed their clothes before getting off the boat, and the clothes they wore were more civilian.Daqing had already arranged someone here to pick them up, a man in his 30s.

The man is probably a seaman here, with a very peaceful and generous demeanor, which makes people feel good at first sight.

The man's name is Zhou Ping, he can read a few words, he has never married a wife, and he lives in a decent place in this town.After he picked up Xiao Jin and the others, he took them to their home.Apart from him, Zhou Ping’s family also has his elderly mother. His mother is also very good-tempered and easy-going. She probably doesn’t know about Xiao Jin’s situation. She just thought they were Zhou Ping’s former friends, and she treated them generously when she saw them. .

After they had dinner together, Zhou Ping's mother went to rest early.Mei Lan cleaned up the table, and took Qu Mo back to the room, leaving space for Xiao Jin, Wen Yelan and Zhou Ping.

When the three of them came to the hall, Zhou Ping took out a map and a letter from his body and handed it to Wen Yelan.Wen Yelan first spread out the map and glanced at it. The map was divided into two sides. On one side was the map from Haizhen to Luoyang, and on the other side was the structural map of Luoyang.

The coordinates of Huajie are specially marked, which is clear at a glance.

Wen Yelan opened the envelope in his hand, took out the letter paper from it, and read it carefully.The letter was written by Daqing, and in it he had clearly explained what he had arranged and who he was, and who would pick them up when they arrived in Luoyang, and how they would be picked up.Daqing wrote everything clearly in the letter, as if he predicted that he might not be able to escape when he was tempted by the enemy.

"Does Daqing have anything else to say?" Wen Yelan asked after looking up at Zhou Ping after a long time after reading the letter.

Zhou Ping shook his head and said, "No, he just told you to be careful."

"I see." Wen Yelan folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, gently stroking the surface of the envelope with his fingers.

"Young master, when do you decide to leave? Luoyang is not sure..." Zhou Ping stepped forward and said.

"What's the situation in Luoyang now?" Xiao Jin asked suddenly.

Zhou Ping paused and replied: "Half a month ago, a group of refugees suddenly appeared in the south. These refugees seemed to be released on purpose. Their people seemed to be arranged by others. They burned, killed and looted in all directions in the center of Luoyang. After two days of attack, half of the people suddenly withdrew, and the remaining half were captured by the belated government."

"Luoyang Center?"

"Yes, their people only attacked the four sides except the center of Luoyang, but they did not enter the center of Luoyang. It can be seen from this that they should be instigated by others."

"The remaining half of the people seem to have stayed here on purpose," Wen Yelan said slowly.

Xiao Jin nodded, agreeing with Wen Yelan's meaning.

Zhou Ping went on to say: "Daqing let me go down to find Qu You's whereabouts, but no matter how I secretly visit, Luoyang doesn't seem to have a child named Qu You."

Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan looked at each other, Xiao Jin said, "This is a bit strange."

Wen Yelan pondered for a moment, and said: "Qu Mo should remember correctly, and the direction of my previous investigations all pointed to Luoyang. Qu You must be here."

"Is it possible that someone will be one step ahead of us?" Xiao Jin looked at Wen Yelan and said in a deep voice.

Hearing what he said, Wen Yelan's face was a little ugly.

"Who do you think it could be?" Wen Yelan raised his head and looked at Xiao Jin with burning eyes.

Xiao Jin frowned lightly, but did not answer him.

Could it be the person who has been following them these days?
