When he arrived at the pier, Xue Xun breathed a sigh of relief. The subordinates who were supposed to be here were there as planned. Most of them had already boarded the boat. The leaders were waiting to be greeted on the pier. There was still a team of people maintaining order and waiting for " The arrival of the proprietor.

Xue Xun was a little relieved. The experience along the way made him understand that it is not "reasonable" to do what one wants, and this world is not the time to be reasonable.With the high loyalty of his subordinates, Xue Xun felt more at ease.

The bustling wharf in the past is now cold and desolate. Even the porters can’t be seen, or they can be seen. There are a few bold ones hiding in the small houses by the river, poking their heads out cautiously and observing them.Xue Xun could feel the gasps of those people when they saw the blood on his own body, so he retreated more cautiously into the house, fearing that the sight would annoy him, so he raised his knife and walked over.

"Master, please get on the boat." With a greeting, Xue Xun nodded and boarded the boat without delay. Before they sat down, the boat started to move.

As Xue Xun walked, he untied the child and handed it to Juan Bi, asking her to take care of the housework and send Xue Wang to rest.Xue Wangshi was at the back, no longer able to get up, and fell limply on Zhuqing and Weilan.Xue Xun knew his wife was suffering, but he couldn't accompany him. What was more important now was to listen to the report. Otherwise, what would happen to the life and death of more than 2000 people in this fleet?

"Zhang Long, is there a doctor on board?"

The little leader of the guard team was flattered, but he didn't expect the master to know that he was a little leader who was in charge of logistics, and immediately said with a smile: "Yes, yes, they are all doctors who are good at trauma, and the subordinates sent someone to invite Lin Xinglin, a famous gynecologist in Jinling. Doctor, his family has some skills, and his wife and daughter are also knowledgeable, if Madam doesn't mind, she can send them."

"Oh? Take art on board and vote with the whole family?" Xue Xun asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, the Xue family has a great reputation, but the Lin family is weak. Once the refugees are attacked, they will not be able to keep the family business, so they will take shelter under the Xue family." Zhang Long flattered.

"Well, take me to see Madam and Young Master. The journey is full of chaos. It is important to keep Madam and Young Master safe and healthy." Xue Xun said as he walked.

After a few words on the way, the head of the guards who came to greet him knew that the master was not simple, and he was very familiar with them. Whoever cares about that area, the elders are all clear. Thinking about the existence of the General Secretary, it is understandable.Unconsciously, I put away my thoughts of probing and shaming, who doesn't hope that the master he is following is capable.

"During this journey, the discipline on the ship was strict and the atmosphere was upright. It took only one night for the news to spread in the city, and the people were assembled neatly. The fleet and logistics were all ready. Qi Hong, you have contributed a lot!" Xue Xun sat Next, the first thing to do is to praise people, Qi Hong is the second in command of the guard battalion, and his status is only under Iron Blood.

"My master is absurd, I don't dare to take credit for what is my job." Qi Hong stood up and clasped her fists and said modestly.

"Sit, sit, we are all on our own. You don't need to be too polite. You and I don't know each other very well. After a long time, you will know that I am not a person who talks empty words. Such a talent is naturally worthy of it." Xue Xun said with a benevolent look. : "I believe you have taken care of everything on board. How do you look at the way forward? Can someone check?"

"The advance ship has been dispatched. There are not many ships on the river, and no one dares to take advantage of Xue's family. With such smooth sailing, we can go to sea within ten days." Qi Hong said calmly.

"Going to sea? Isn't it a war?"

"Sea Army Chen Bing is in the Huating area, we can transfer to Hangzhou by the canal and then go to Hainan."

Xue Xun suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake. He only wanted to walk a straight distance while looking at the map, and forgot that it was a boat ride, a boat ride in ancient times!There is no steam engine, and the current power is wind energy and water energy, which can only rely on the power of sails and water flow.It is winter now, the northeast wind is blowing, the terrain is higher in the northwest and lower in the southeast, and the rivers run from the northwest to the southeast, so it can be said that the wind is smooth.If they want to go backwards to Poyang Lake now, it will take a lot of time, and they don't know if they can get there.

"How is the situation at sea?" Xue Xun hurriedly asked, making such a low-level mistake that no one would make, it really is because the previous thinking has not improved and integrated.

"The king of Nanwang County led the navy and Qianxiang Kingdom to confront each other in the sea merchants, and blocked the sea outlet of Huating generation. Civilian ships were not allowed to pass through. Even the inland waterway transportation was blocked. This year's tribute was almost delayed when it entered Beijing. To the south, small overseas countries have also sent patrol fleets one after another. Ryukyu and others are even in the strait. Erye's ship is waiting on the side of Annan. If he wants to meet Erye, he must pass through the Ryukyu Strait and Qiongzhou Strait, taking advantage of the wind and current , all the way south, it will take 20 days at the fastest." Qi Hong still doesn't know that their final destination is Wuzhou, he has rich experience in sailing, and maps of coastal waterways and inland waterways are all in his mind, so maybe he can't be as concrete as Xue Xun Maps, but when it comes to the precise understanding of each place, he is the one who has the most say.

"That is to say, it is a question of whether to go inland or by sea." Xue Xun pondered. He is really a half-hearted man. He took out a map and compared him. Iron Blood, what do you think?"

"My subordinates think it is better to take the canal. The army is displayed in Huating. We wait for the fleet to fight head-on with it. It is like hitting a stone with an egg. The master said earlier that there is no need to tear the face with the court. Besides, turn to the canal and enter the sea from Hangzhou Bay on the Qiantang River , the distance is shorter, saving time.” The most important thing is to avoid the army, Qi Hong said that no one dared to plunder the Xue family’s edge, it’s all lies, who knows the current situation on the river, the rumors are accompanied by the northeast wind, walking around the world sooner or later, There will be many people waiting to block the road and rob.

"Do other people have any opinions? They are all from their own people. They speak out and brainstorm ideas. It's about their own wealth and life. It's better to make it clear." Xue Xun saw that everyone was silent, so he quickly picked up the host's microphone, Active atmosphere.

Everyone was trying to save face, Mr. Ma began to analyze the supply points along the way, and Qi Hong introduced the points of Xue's family that could still be contacted.Everyone negotiated and settled the matter, and corrected the wrong route of taking Poyang Lake. At that time, everyone was shocked by Xue Xun's map. The two gentlemen, who are as experienced as cattle and horses, forgot to remind Xue Xun.

After the discussion, everyone filed out, leaving only Xue Xun frowning and holding his forehead.

Only now do I know my own shortcomings. When my subordinates talk about business and shipping routes, I can only listen. I have no idea at all. It seems that there is still a lot to learn!

Xue Xun was still worrying about his lack of ability, so Zhu Qing hurriedly invited him over, saying: "Madam is not well, please go and have a look, master?"

Xue Xun got up and finally came. He knew that the wife who had just given birth could not be tired, and something happened.

"What did the doctor say?"

"Madam lochia, heart palpitations, night sweats, fatigue, just prepared white porridge, drank it and vomited." Zhuqing looked embarrassed, and said: "Madam won't disturb the master, and the subordinates have come down a few times, but the master is still discussing matters. Did not report."

Zhuqing reported the situation while walking, the place on the boat was narrow, when Xue Xun arrived, the doctor had already gone out to prescribe medicine, only a middle-aged woman was helping Xue Wang's massage to expel lochia.

Xue Xun stopped everyone's intention to salute, and asked, "Is there a tear? Is there an infection? When will the doctor say it will be healed?"

"Master Xue, Madam's wound has not been torn. My husband has prescribed medicine and is waiting to be decocted. Madam, please keep warm. The little lady will go down first." Seeing Xue Xun coming in, Mrs. Lin hurriedly pulled the quilt for Wang Mrs. Xue With the lid on, even between husband and wife it is not easy to see such a dirty scene.

Xue Wang's face was so pale that he lay on his back on the bed, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his hair was wet and stuck to his face, and he was biting a soft cloth in his mouth, unable to remove it.

Xue Xun waved for people to back off, and went forward to remove the soft cloth in her mouth to prevent her from being bitten, and wrung a hot handkerchief to wipe her face, "There is sweat on my back, it needs to be wiped clean."

Xue Wangshi held back her shame and asked Xue Xun to scrub her. After changing several basins of water, she wiped it clean. The conditions are not good, that's how it is. There is no condition for a shower, and she dare not let her catch a cold.

Xue Xun cleaned up the dirty water and placed it at the cabin door, so someone would clean it up.

"If you have a husband like this, you can die with peace in your eyes." Mrs. Xue pulled out a weak smile. In the world, only wives take care of their husbands. How can there be husbands who serve their wives? .

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I get sick one day, you will still take care of me. Don't worry, I asked Dr. Lin just now. Fortunately, the wound was not torn. As long as the lochia is drained, everything will be fine. Dr. Lin has been practicing medicine for half a lifetime. You have a lot of experience, and you can easily catch such a petty patient." Xue Xun comforted.

"I'm not worried. I've prepared for it, and it's much better than expected." Although Xue Wang was physically tortured, she had a strong mental quality, and she did practice well.When she gave birth, her external and physical conditions were good, and the lochia was eliminated within half a month, and the wound was almost healed, but she caused troubles while riding a horse all the way.

"That's it. This disease is always bullying and fearing the hard. If you are strong, he will naturally be afraid and dare not come to harm you." Xue Xun laughed.

"It's just that I'm lying on the bed now, and I can't host the New Year's banquet anymore." Xue Wang sighed. As the mistress, she is busy hosting the New Year's banquet every year.

"I'm going to celebrate the New Year on the boat this year. It's good to experience more. When I grow old, I will lie on the rocking chair and have stories to tell my grandchildren." Xue Xun laughed.

"Yeah, I still have to tell stories to my grandson!" Mrs. Xue replied with a smile, "Although there are many people this year, the place is small. Now Juanbi and Zhuqing are waiting to take on big responsibilities. Let them take care of it. I will take over That's enough. If the nanny is still there, it will be easier for me."

Xue Xun rubbed his nose and said, "You know?" Seeing Xue Wang's playful expression, how could Xue Xun not understand that she already knew about the fact that he turned the nanny away from her side with his clever words, look, daughter-in-law There are also bad things about teaching children to be smart, and now they are shooting themselves in the foot.
