The two ferries were within three feet of each other. Qiutong jumped over and landed on the deck with a clang, making two small holes in the deck, which made the boatman watching from a distance very distressed. .
But how could Qiutong care about the mood of the boatman?
She "DuangDuangDuang" ran closer, only to see Lu Wu with a stern face.
"Master——" Qiu Tong shouted quickly.
When Lu Wu was young, she and her four younger sisters would often use this trick to get through when Lu Wu got angry.
It's just that this technique was more effective when Qiu Tong was a pretty girl about five or six feet tall. Now Qiu Tong is nine feet tall and wearing iron armor. When she walks, her armor clangs all over her body. If she tries this technique again, the effect will be a little bad. .
"Hmm -" So Lu Wu had a long face and just hummed in a long tone.
"焄——" Another one jumped over.
"Master, aren't we worried about you too?" It was Jin Ju who jumped over.
"Do I need you to worry? You girls have not mastered Kung Fu, so why are you just a burden here?" Lu Wu raised his chin and said disdainfully.
"Okay, okay, young master, you are invincible in the world. We are just little maids, but the young master has to be taken care of." Yulan also jumped over.
"That's right, Master, don't you want to abandon us?"
"We agreed to travel around the world together!"
"Master, you don't keep your words!"
"Jinju is sad——wuwuwu——"
"Okay, okay, since when did the young master's words not count? What can he do if he's already here?"
Several maids talked at once, making Lu Wu extremely upset. Even though they knew Jin Ju was pretending to cry, they could only pretend to comfort her.
After all, these maids were also worried about their own safety. Although Lu Wu was angry that they were disobedient, he felt a little warm in his heart.
A person like Lu Wu, who has known about his reincarnation since he was a child, although he usually looks lazy and gentle, in fact he basically doesn't treat strangers as human beings.
Because of this, Lu Wu attaches great importance to his relatives. Although he hates others dictating his life, he would rather escape than confront his parents in this life - although he has already had this ability.
These five little maids grew up with him. Although these five maids took care of him in life, in fact, it was not him who was raising young girls - of course, they were raising fair ladies. Come to him , raised a little crookedly.

Two ferries docked at Chuguo Pier one after the other.
Other ferries stayed away from each other, even if they temporarily stopped on the water, they refused to get even closer.
Lu Wu, wearing black armor and carrying a long halberd, walked off the springboard that the boatman had carefully built.
The Chu State tax collector, who was responsible for counting people, carriages and horses in order to collect taxes, hid behind the table like a quail, not even daring to raise his head, let alone come up to collect taxes.
The battle on the river just didn't last long, but the movement was really big. Just the waterspout rising into the sky was enough to attract people's attention.
What's more, Wang Poshan, known as the "Broken Mountain King", fled all the way and threw away his famous weapon, the Mountain Breaking Hammer, to escape with his life.
He landed on land, explained Lu Wu's appearance carefully, and then ignored the Chu army's request to stay, borrowed a horse and ran away.
You know, Wang Poshan is also an innately strong person, even the military wants to give him some face.
This kind of master even thought it was a waste of time to stay and drink water, so he must run away immediately. This shows what kind of psychological shadow the other party has left on him.
Wu and Chu faced each other across Lanshui, and their troops were stationed in the water stronghold and the city behind.
The wharf is a place where merchants come and go. There are no more than a hundred soldiers stationed there, and it is usually used to collect taxes. If anyone dares to touch Lu Wu's bad luck, I just want him to get out as soon as possible.
——————————————
After leaving the pier, there is the commercial district. About seven or eight miles past the commercial district is the real city - the commercial district is actually the city wall of Nanhe City.
Lu Wu and others did not go into the city, so they found a luxury inn in this business district to settle down, and then everyone went to wander around the streets.
The roads here are wide, shops are lined up in rows, pedestrians come and go in a hurry, and all kinds of shouting and selling sounds come and go, making it a prosperous scene.
"Wow, this place looks even more powerful than Songjing!" Jin Ju exclaimed as she raised her head and looked at a four-story restaurant.
Songjing of Wu State is probably the most prosperous place in Wu State, but there are still not many buildings with more than three floors. Most of them are in the homes of wealthy nobles. There are only three four-story buildings like this used as restaurants in Songjing.
One is Baimeilou, the number one brothel in Songjing, which Lu Wu once secretly visited; the other is Wenhua Pavilion, the number one bookstore in Wu Kingdom; and the last one is also a restaurant named Liuxian Pavilion.
"The country of Chu is several times larger than the country of Wu, and the people of Chu are also several times richer than the people of Wu. Although Nanhe City is only a city in the southern region of Chu State, it enjoys the benefits of the Wu-Chu trade, and it is considered to be the largest city in Chu State. It’s a very wealthy place.” Li Shi explained.
"Oh, Chu State is so rich in products, why do you want to plot against Wu State?" Jin Ju asked curiously.
Li Shi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain.
"Chu State is backed by Lanshui. Facing the Central Plains countries, if it does not want to make progress, Wu State can be driven across Lanshui by Chu State, and Chu State can also be defeated by other countries. When the time comes, I am afraid that Chu State wants to avoid It's not possible to cross the Lanshui River." Qiutong replied.
"Well, the eldest sister is right. Moreover, if we Wu and Yue join forces, we can also suppress a large part of Chu's troops. Chu must also be worried about being attacked from both sides." Qingzhu added.
"Hahaha——" Lu Wu laughed.
"Master, what did we say wrong?" Qingzhu asked curiously.
"You are all right, but I think it's probably just picking up the soft persimmons and pinching them." Lu Wu said with a smile.
In Lu Wu's view, the Chu State was involved in the Songjing Change, but it was just to see if Wu State could take advantage of the opportunity and try to see if it could gain some benefits.
Lu Wu dared to say that there must be someone in Yue State, but whether it worked or not, or what role it played, was not something he, a lazy person with poor hearing and eyesight, could know.
As for Qiutong and Qingzhu, it is indeed good to think about the problem from a strategic perspective, but for ordinary people, there is no need to think that the superiors are as powerful as they think.
Many things are just a matter of taking advantage of the situation and taking steps according to circumstances.
To say that Chu State controlled the development of the situation throughout the entire process is to overestimate Chu State.
Everyone chatted and laughed as they moved forward. When they encountered a shop, they went in to take a look. After a while, everyone had a lot of snacks and strange toys in their hands.
Everyone was having fun, but Li Shi was in a state of confusion.
In his opinion, since his master Lu Wu had severely offended the Chu State, he should definitely turn around and take a boat back to the Wu State. How could there be any reason to continue to go to the Chu State to die?
Well, maybe the master is brave enough to dominate the world and is not afraid of being surrounded and killed by the Chu State.
But he, Li Shi, was afraid.
It would be best if he could be allowed to take the Li family's motorcade back to Wu. Anyway, the misunderstanding has been resolved.
But the master didn't say anything, how could he dare to say that he wanted to abandon the master just after taking refuge?
