The pier was bustling with activity.
There were many cargo and passenger ships docked at the riverbank. Almost every day, the pier was filled with people.
Ji Yunshu searched for several ships before she found the one to go to Liangzhou.
However, the boatman said awkwardly, "Miss, I'm afraid this ship can't carry you today. Why don't you leave tomorrow?"
Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows would there be?
She had already dragged it out again and again.
"Why?"
"Today's ship to Liangzhou was booked yesterday, so … there's no other way."
Who was so rich as to book a two-story ship?!
Moreover, there was only one ship to Liangzhou every day. If it was booked, it would be expensive.
Ji Yunshu looked at the ship and saw a few people standing at the side. "Boatman, I have important matters to attend to in Liangzhou. Can you let me go up? It won't take up much space."
"This …"
"I won't disturb the guests on your ship."
This young lady was very beautiful. Her beautiful eyes, coupled with her slightly pleading tone, caused people to involuntarily feel a surge of pity and pity from the bottom of their hearts.
The boatman frowned bitterly. If it was any other day, he would definitely let this girl go up.
But today …
"Miss, don't make things difficult for me. If it's really impossible, the young master inside said that aside from the few people who usually serve on the ship, no other people are allowed to go up. You can only leave tomorrow when there's a ship."
Ji Yunshu didn't want to make things difficult for him, but if she waited and waited, wouldn't she die if something happened tomorrow?
If there was no other way, she could only take the mountain road.
Taking risks was one thing.
She carefully considered it and gave up on the idea of taking the water route to Liangzhou.
Just as she was about to leave, a voice came from the ship. "Let her come up."
Hearing the voice, she looked up and saw Wen Che standing at the bow of the ship.
Although he was in his thirties, he was quite handsome.
That pair of cold eyes revealed an inexplicable gloominess.
This kind of person must have a story behind him.
When Ji Yunshu looked at him, his gaze also fell on her eyes.
Yesterday, they met in a hurry and didn't speak a word.
But Ji Yunshu clearly felt that this person was unfathomable.
Moreover, he was very cunning.
He was a far-sighted and cautious person!
In that case, he would be the one to book the entire ship!
But why was he here?
When the boatman heard Wen Che's words, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Alright, I'll let this lady board now."
Wen Che turned around and entered the cabin.
He did not say another word.
While Ji Yunshu was still confused, the boatman led her onto the boat.
However, as soon as he went up, he bumped into Yi Weian.
He was going aft to check things out.
"Wait." He stopped the boatman and Ji Yunshu.
The boatman bowed politely.
"Didn't I say that outsiders are not allowed to board the ship? Why did you bring people up here? "Yi Weian's tone was stern.
He looked Ji Yunshu up and down.
In case this person had any tricks up his sleeves.
Although Ji Yunshu's head was slightly lowered, her gaze still swept over Yi Weian's body.
This person … wasn't he the commander of the group she and Li Chuan had met in the desert?
Because the scar on Yi Weian's face was too eye-catching!
Once he recognized him, he would be able to tell.
The flag with the word 'Jing' written on it was not hung on the boat, so Ji Yunshu did not know that he was there before she boarded the boat!
Previously, when they were in the Nansai Desert, they had hung the 'Jing' flag as a warning to the bandits in the desert. But now that they were in Qujiang, hanging the flag would be too conspicuous. Who knows, it might even cause some trouble.
Therefore, Yi Weian had people take down the flag.
However, why was this person together with the Wen brothers?
What was their relationship?
Then, the reason why Wen Yu appeared in the desert, was it related to the transport of King Jing An's body?
Ji Yunshu's heart was filled with layers of confusion.
The boatman explained, "It was Young Master Wen who allowed this lady to board."
"Huh?"
Was Wen Che crazy?
Transporting King Jing An was an important matter, how could he allow an unrelated person to board?
It must be known that Yi Weian had to safely transport King Jing An to Yan Capital in order to have the opportunity to stay in the capital.
Therefore, he was even more vigilant than the Wen brothers.
However, this lady looked gentle and weak. Moreover, she was alone, so it didn't seem like she came with good intentions.
What kind of tricks could a woman come up with?
Moreover, it was Wen Che's idea, so he couldn't just throw her off.
He could only drop the matter.
"Forget it, let's go."
The boatman complied and led Ji Yunshu inside.
Fortunately, Yi Weian did not recognize her.
The boatman led her to a narrow compartment in the cabin below.
"It will take us five days to reach Liangzhou. Miss, you can rest here. Three meals a day will be delivered."
"Many thanks."
"Then, I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, just say the word. I will be here." The boatman was very enthusiastic, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest. After all, the woman in front of him was indeed beautiful and moving. Although he had a son and a daughter, he was still a man. His body was still very healthy, so it was natural for him to have some thoughts about her. However, it wasn't any bad intentions, so it was unlikely for him to be a playboy.
What would he do that was against common sense?
When Ji Yunshu boarded the boat, she discovered that although there were only a few people standing on the deck, there were many people on the boat, and all of them were men.
She asked curiously, "Boatman, who are they? I don't think they are ordinary merchants. "
The boatman said, "They really aren't merchants. They didn't bring any goods, but I don't know their identity. I accepted the money they gave me! But what's strange is that they are carrying a coffin. "
"A coffin?"
Prince Jingan's coffin!
"That's right. That coffin isn't something an ordinary person can use. If Miss has nothing to do in the next few days, just stay here and don't go up."
The boatman reminded her.
Ji Yunshu nodded. "I understand."
"Then, I will take my leave first."
After the boatman left, Ji Yunshu turned around the narrow cabin to make herself more comfortable.
After seeing Ji Yunshu, Yi Weian went to find Wen Che.
Wen Che was drinking tea.
He asked Yi Weian, "Has everything been arranged?"
"Everything has been arranged. We can leave immediately."
"Thank you, General Yi."
"It's my duty." Yi Weian wanted to say something, but hesitated. He then asked, "General Wen, that girl … who is she to you?"
Wen Che put down his teacup. His expression was calm. He knew that the 'girl' he mentioned was Miss Ji.
They must have met just now!
