Shaking, people coming and going.

In the kitchen at the bottom of the handsome boat, Hu Sanniang finished packing the dishes and chopsticks for the soldiers to eat, stood on the small terrace and looked beside the Qiantang River.

Three months passed in a flash, and more and more Shu troops were. Soldiers who fought in various states returned. New soldiers went out and trained rounds. More than 100,000 Shu troops were stationed near Hangzhou, some were remnants of Fang La, and some were surrendered by the imperial court. Because of the rewards of winning consecutive battles, the morale among the army was high. Every time Cao Taisui appeared, it could attract a tide-like shouting.

There are more and more ships docked at the port, all of which are new ships, most of which are troop transport ships, and a few are warships full of artillery.

Although Hu Sanniang didn't understand the army, judging from these preparations, the fleet was about to set off again. This time it was obviously much stronger than last time, and the ships almost blocked the Qiantang River.

She didn't hear much news, and she could guess that she might have gone to the capital this time.

But these things obviously have nothing to do with her.

After nearly a year of life as a cook, she almost forgot her previous identity. What she is most worried about now is the good friend she suddenly made.

I once thought about assassinating Cao Taisui, but after meeting Luzhu, she was a little unable to do anything. After all, she could not let such a good girl lose her husband. The family's grudges could be blamed on the court, Liangshan, or Western Shu. There were undead people in the battle between the two armies. She led her men to attack the city and was beaten to death by the defenders. In fact, she could not blame Cao Taisui.

I originally wanted to leave, but I was worried about being stupid Luzhu. If Luzhu was bullied or disliked by her master, wouldn’t she not even have a support?

With this idea in mind, she kept secretly observing it. If she found out that Cao Taisui bullied Luzhu, she would directly find an opportunity to kill Cao Taisui. If Luzhu was neglected that day, she would find an opportunity to take Luzhu away and live a good life outside.

But after observing for nearly three months, she became a little confused - Cao Taisui was usually not on the boat, she was fighting outside, and she only came back once every half month. After returning, Luzhu basically couldn't get out of bed and cried all day long. She thought this was bullying, Luzhu was quite happy afterwards, and she said she was neglecting it, but it seemed that she couldn't make sense.

Apart from cursing "Sexual Embryonic and Dog Officials" in her heart, Hu Sanniang couldn't find any other reason, so she could only hide on the boat and wait foolishly. Anyway, she had nowhere to go, and it would be fine to protect Luzhu in the dark for several years.

While waiting, Hu Sanniang met another quirky little maid.

Yutang is lively and crazy everywhere. Cao Hua is still more regular when he is here. As soon as Cao Hua leaves, he goes to heaven. He makes waves, frys fish, plays muskets, and plays mahjong with the Black Feather Guard. He can't count the things he can do to relieve boredom, and he will never run to the bottom kitchen.

But since Luzhu was lucky by Cao Taisui, Yutang has obviously become a little bored. It seems that she has been thinking about her sister who has been rebelling for many years and has not caused trouble with her. So she has no interest in making noise. As soon as Cao Hua comes back, he hides in the kitchen at the bottom and boils water like Luzhu.

Hu Sanniang was quite curious at first, and wanted to be a close sister to teach Yutang, but unfortunately Yutang looked chattering, and was unhappy that he was even more dull than Luzhu, and he refused to say anything. He just stared at the copper pot in a daze. Sometimes Han'er came over and followed him back slowly. Seeing this, she had to give up...

It was the Dragon Boat Festival again, and the city of Hangzhou became a little colder. There were no more poetry meetings in the past. After all, the people who held the poetry meetings were all literati, and literati were all arrogant. They basically called Cao Hua a traitor and could not finish the poems of the destruction of the country. If you have the heart to write the Dragon Boat Festival lyrics, at most a few scholars who felt persecuted to pay tribute to Qu Yuan and criticize him insultedly.

Cao Hua naturally seemed to have never heard of this. He used to call him "Cao thief, eunuch" but now he uses "Sima Zhao, Cao Cao" to reflect it, which is considered a compliment.

After three months of stay, all the ships that Wanjia had prepared for nearly a year were put into the water. Veterans who had fought several battles from all over the country were also transferred back and started boarding the ship on the Qiantang River. Fang Qifo stayed in the south of the Yangtze River to maintain the existing six states. He led his team to continue northward and headed straight to Bianjing.

On the dock of Qiantang River, dense troops gathered on the river bank, pushing heavy artillery slowly boarding the ship. Under the leadership of various generals, infantry boarded a series of troops transport ships and slowly sailed out of the river mouth.

Cao Hua slowly walked towards Xianggang, with noises behind him. Looking back, the scholars from Hangzhou were blocking the roadside, with messy voices filling his ears. He obviously wanted to make his last effort to stop him in Hangzhou.

Han'er's face was slightly cold. She looked back and said softly:

"Young Master, these scholars are crying and acting like this when you don't kill them. If the young master really kills people, they will change their families faster than anyone else. It is said that they are reading the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, "Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there has been no death in the Kong family for a certain dynasty. Isn't it that anyone who becomes the emperor and is loyal to his family?"

Cao Hua shook his head and chuckled: "Don't say that, there are many scholars with backbone. If they don't scold me, it will be over."

Han'er snorted faintly, looked at the strong team, and thought for a while:

"It will take a month to go back to Bianjing. I don't know what the family has become. I dug the tunnel to fill the soil in the room. If I don't clear it, I'm afraid the trees will grow out of the roof. There is also the yard of the adoptive father. After the young master killed the emperor, the adoptive father must have been implicated. Not to mention the mourning hall, I'm afraid the yard will be demolished."

He talked about it. He grew up in the capital since he was a child. Han'er had been away from home for too long. He obviously missed him a little. Even though there was no one there, he was still a place where he grew up together, leaving various footprints.

Cao Hua actually missed it very much, the river bank of Qinglian Lane, the locust trees in Shiquan Lane, and the back alley of Wanbao Tower. After all, that was where the dream began.

Cao Hua pulled Han'er's wrist and smiled:

"Han'er, how old are you?"

"Twenty soon, what's wrong with the young master?"

Every time he moves a little intimately, Han'er's body will be stiff and he will look around nervously for a few times. He will be a little quieter after confirming that no one of his subordinates sees it.

Cao Hua thought for a while: "Before his foster father died, I will take good care of you. I will probably have to do a marriage when I go back."

Han'er nodded, her voice weakened a little: "Many girls are waiting in line. Should they do it one by one, or should they come with a big one?"

"Come on a big one."

"When I was in the bridal chamber... can the young master bear it?"

Cao Hua's face froze and he thought carefully: "How can I know if I don't try..."
