"The young master is not here. If the boat capsizes, by the time the young master comes over, the little golden chrysanthemum will have been eaten by the big fish." Qingzhu said deliberately.
"Huh, it's only three or four miles away. The young master will be there in just a moment. Besides, I, Jin Ju, am not a vegetarian!" Jin Ju said fiercely, and then couldn't help but look into the river and found that there were no big fish. , and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Theirs was not the only ferry plying the river.
There has been a truce between Wu and Chu for seven or eight years. Although minor frictions continue, people and money die for food, and businessmen between Wu and Chu have never been cut off.
Lu Wu was not on the same boat with them, but took another ferry.
Although Lu Wu didn't think that the Chu State would openly surround and kill him because he had ruined Gongzi Jiu's affairs, but when Tong Zhi told him, he became somewhat wary and took a ferry separately from Qiu Tong and others.
The ferry that Lu Wu is currently riding is called 'Ping'an', which is fifteen feet long and six feet wide. It is considered to be the first-class wide among river boats. Not only does it have many passengers, it also carries some carriages and horses.
"This brother is an extraordinary man. May I ask his name?" Lu Wu was standing on the side of the ship looking at the river when a voice came from behind him.
Lu Wu looked back and saw a young man wearing a white robe with gold trim saying hello to him.
This man's eyebrows are as straight as swords, his eyes are thin and long, he is nearly eight feet tall, and he has a long sword hanging on his waist.
He walked to Lu Wu, holding his hand on the railing, his white robe fluttering in the river breeze, looking elegant.
"I'm Lu Wu, your Excellency, who is——?"
"I, Wei Ming, named Zhaoting, have met Brother Lu - Brother Lu is alone?" The man who calls himself Wei Zhaoting is very familiar.
"Yes, I wonder if Brother Wei has any advice?" Lu Wu asked.
"I don't dare. I just saw Brother Lu's outstanding demeanor and came here to chat." Wei Ming said with a smile: "Wei has been doing business between Wu and Chu for several years and has been in Lanshui many times. This is the first time I have seen Brother Lu like this." General character."
"Brother Wei, thank you." Lu Wu dealt with it one after another, but his eyes were looking at the shore in the distance.
If Chu was thinking about surrounding and killing him, there might be an ambush on the shore.
"Brother Lu is a general's disciple?" Wei Ming asked.
"I have practiced some military martial arts, but I can't be considered a disciple of the generals - Brother Wei is actually a woman, right?" Lu Wu glanced at Wei Ming and said.
For Lu Wu, within a radius of twenty feet, he is within the range of his spirit, and even the sound of his heartbeat cannot be hidden from him. This Wei Ming is standing less than three feet away from Lu Wu - men and women are physiologically different due to physical differences. The structure is different, and the breathing sounds are somewhat different.
"Brother Lu has such a good eye! I have been traveling between Wu and Chu for several years, and Brother Lu is the first to recognize that I am a woman in such a short period of time." After being exposed by Lu Wu, Wei Ming did not feel embarrassed at all, but instead praised him.
"Brother Wei, this kind of woman is rare."
"Hahaha, it's just due to helplessness. My parents are old, and there are only two people in the house, me and my younger sister, so someone has to come out to take care of the business.
I think Brother Lu is going from Wu to Chu alone, so he must be in trouble. Our Wei family caravan is short of bodyguards. I wonder if Brother Lu can give in? "Wei Ming said enthusiastically.
There is no love without reason in this world. Wei Ming naturally had his own purpose when he came to chat.
The Wei family has two daughters and no children. The old father was injured a few years ago and can only rest at home. Wei Ming has to go out and run the business.
Hard work is nothing. The real trouble for the Wei family is that there is no man to stand up for the family.
It's a good thing that my father is still alive. If my father is not here, I will be destitute. This kind of thing does not only happen in the countryside.
Therefore, it is imperative to recruit new people.
But it is not that easy to find a good son-in-law. Who is willing to be a son-in-law from a good family?
Only those losers who can't support themselves and rely solely on their wives to support themselves will become son-in-laws - such people are often looked down upon by the Wei family.
Seeing Lu Wusheng's handsomeness and tallness, Wei Ming took a ferry to leave Wu for Chu alone, much like a general's son who escaped from the Songjing Rebellion.
This kind of person is helpless in Chu State, has no business in production, and has a good education. Wouldn't he be the best candidate for a son-in-law?
"Thank you, I don't have any difficulty." Lu Wu shook his head and refused.
This woman was simply baffling, and Lu Wu felt that he had encountered a crazy woman.
"Brother Lu, why would you reject someone thousands of miles away? Brother Lu is such a talented person, but he doesn't know whether he is worthy of marriage?"
Lu Wu took two steps away, feeling that he needed to stay away from this woman.
Wei Ming didn't care and followed him.
Being able to go out to do business, Wei Ming's face has been tempered for a long time, and this small setback is not taken into consideration by her at all.
Is it easy to find a helpless intellectual these days?
Wei Ming was about to continue his efforts when he suddenly saw a warship in the distance upstream with full sails, heading straight towards this side.
Battleships are different from merchant ships. Battleships have ramming angles and relatively high sides. They also have shooting sticks on both sides for hitting small boats. There are giant crossbows on the ship for shooting at enemy ships. There are more bows and crossbows on board, and there are soldiers among the soldiers.
Wei Ming felt something was wrong, and just when he was about to pull Lu Wu into the cabin to hide, a crossbow arrow like a spear had already crossed a hundred steps and shot straight towards this side.
Lu Wu turned slightly, and the giant crossbow passed by him, hitting the deck at a very small angle, and then rebounded, shooting an unsuspecting passenger and taking him into the river.
