After a boat sailing for another two days, it entered the Yangtze River, went south along the river, and then returned to Changsha for another period of time.

In the evening, the fleet stopped in a water station along the way to spend the night.

It became dark. Mu Fulan closed the porthole, turned on the lights, and stayed by Xier's side, watching him write.

Xier wrote a few words and slowly stopped writing.

Mu Fulan thought he was tired. "Are you tired? If you are tired, don't need to write anymore, go to bed."

Xier shook her head, looked at Mu Fulan, and said in a low voice: "Mom, if General Yuan hadn't come, we were still in that place. Are we locked up by the bad guys now?"

Mu Fulan's heart hopped slightly.

She smiled: "How is that possible? Besides, we are not already out?"

She paused.

"Okay, why did Xier think of this?"

The child hesitated and said, "I had a dream last night."

"I dreamed that Lord Xie is my father. There were all bad people in that city, and they locked up my mother and me. At the beginning, Mom, you told me, don't be afraid, Xier's father will come to save us. I waited, waited for a long time, but I didn't see Lord Xie coming. I asked my mother again, when will Dad come, you won't speak anymore. Later, Lord Xie still didn't come. General Yuan came, and he took me out of the city, but Mom, you are gone, I want to find you, but General Yuan blinded my eyes and he didn't let me turn back. I woke up in a hurry..."

"It seems to be true."

The child said softly, and a sad look appeared in his eyes.

Mu Fulan's heart aches, and she hugged him tightly.

"Xi'er, don't think about it all! Remember, this is just a bad dream! Dreams are all fake, and things in the dream will never happen!"

"There is nothing. We will be back to Changsha."

"Sir Xie, he is not your father either!"

She looked into the child's eyes and said word by word.

Xier leaned quietly in her arms, silent for a moment, as if she was relieved and laughed.

"Mom, what you are saying is. Lord Xie is not my father, and the things in the dream are naturally not true!"

Mu Fulan smiled and nodded.

At this time, a faint voice came from outside the ship. A moment later, the maid called her and Daoliang Tuan saw her if something happened.

Mu Fulan asked the maid to accompany Xier and came to the bow deck by himself.

Liang Tuan said: "Master Weng, we have received the news that the Jiedushi sent troops to Pucheng and rushed for thousands of miles. Now that the siege has been resolved, we know that General Yuan has taken Master Weng away, so we ordered me to go back."

Mu Fulan didn't speak at first, and the man seemed to be in a daze. After a moment, he smiled slightly.

"It's the best. Thank you for your hard work this way. You guys have a good rest tonight. I'll ask someone to prepare some food and food on the road. It's not too late to leave tomorrow."

Liang Tuan said: "It is the responsibility of the humble position, how can you bear the thanks of the Lord of the Manchu. The rebels may make a comeback, and the governor is injured again. If you take care of the humble position, you will lead people to the way. Thank you for your kindness."

"I will part with you here. I will bother you and I will pay my respects to the young master."

He knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

Mu Fulan was slightly stunned, and after a meal, she didn't ask any more questions, and just nodded: "Okay. You guys wait a moment, I'll ask someone to prepare some food for you."

She turned around and was about to give orders when she saw Xier running out of the hatch door.

"Why did he get injured by sir? Will he be in trouble?"

Xier ran to Liang Tuan, grabbed his sleeve, and asked anxiously.

Liang Tuan hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, little boy. He said that the Jiedushi was injured by arrows when he was relieved of the siege. Fortunately, it was not the key..."

Xier let go of her hand and turned to Mu Fulan.

"Mom, we are not far from there. Mom, please help the adults heal their injuries first. He is fine. Let's go back to Changsha. OK?"

His eyes were red and he begged forever.

Liang Tuan's heart moved slightly.

The young master's meaning is also what he wants. But he could see that the relationship between the two military governors was confused, so he didn't dare to say anything rashly. Seeing that the young master said it first, he hesitated and said boldly: "The situation in Hexi is now tense and cannot be separated from the adults. There is a rebellion here. I am afraid that the adults will have no time to respond. If the master can wait until the adults recover before leaving..."

He glanced at Mu Fulan and stopped.

Mu Fulan was silent for a moment, signaled Liang Tuan to wait, took Xier's hand, and took him into the cabin.

After a while, she came out again and said apologetically: "I'm afraid it's a bit inconvenient for me to go back. And the military doctor has more experience with external injuries than I should. The only thing is to ask you to go back and tell the governor on my behalf that the weather is getting hotter and ask him to take his timely care. Be sure to let the military doctor change the medicine for him in time."

She handed Liang Tuan a prescription she had just written.

"This is an oral prescription, which helps to remove rot and develop muscle in the wound."

Liang Tuan knew that she would not go back, so he had to take it and put it away, bid farewell.

Mu Fulan stood at the bow of the boat, watching Liang Tuan and his group disappear into the night.

She had a sense of intuition. The man rushed to rescue the city this time, perhaps it was related to her and her son.

But so what.

At this moment, when this thought flashed out, a huge feeling of loneliness deep in her heart became more and more serious.

It was as if the land of heaven and earth, she was alone, with only the bow of the boat, like a pair of cold eyes, looking at her at her feet.

But even so, she didn't want them to remember the past events and Xier's dreams.

In this way, the man couldn't remember it, and Xier couldn't remember it. It would be enough for each other to be at peace in this life.

...

Although the rebels of Pingyang King were blocked from the north, they did not dare to fight head-on with the Hexi army for a while, and retreated for hundreds of miles and stationed.

Xie Changgeng did not continue to pursue and fight hard, and temporarily remained in the camp.

On this day, he finished his discussion with the generals, sat alone in the tent, his eyes falling on a secret letter in front of him.

The letter was sent from Shangjing. In addition to telling him that Empress Liu was very dissatisfied with his intentions and sent troops to Pucheng without authorization, he also told him another thing.

At the beginning of the rebellion of King Pingyang and King Lu, someone secretly reported to Empress Liu, saying that a rebel envoy had gone to Changsha before, suspected of secretly having an affair and participating in the rebellion. However, King Qi quickly came forward to protect the innocence of Changsha. Rear Liu gave up and refused to pursue the investigation.

When the military doctor entered, he saw the Jiedushi looking at the letter in his hand, his face turned gloomy and said carefully: "Sir, it's time to change the dressing."

Xie Changgeng slowly accepted the letter and untied his clothes.

The military doctor leaned over and changed the medicine for him. When he peeled off a piece of gauze, he accidentally pulled off a piece of flesh that was stuck to his head.

Blood flowed out.

The military doctor was startled and quickly apologized: "Don't blame me! The villain is not good at skill. If the master is here, the adult's injury will definitely heal faster."

Xie Changgeng frowned and ordered him to hurry up.

The military doctor was busy speeding up his movements. At this time, a notice came from outside the tent saying that Liang's delegation brought people back to the camp.

Xie Changgeng's eyes moved slightly and asked him to enter the account.

Liang Tuan entered, saluted, stood aside, reported the whereabouts of Mu Fulan and his group, saying that they should be able to arrive in Changsha soon.

Xie Changgeng said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Liang Tuan looked at the blood-stained gauze that had just been removed and thought about it.

"Mr. Weng Zhi is injured..."

He paused.

"...I am very concerned, so I told me to tell you that the weather is getting hotter. Please take your time to change the dressings in time."

He took out the prescription and put it on.

"Mr. Weng left this prescription and said it has the effect of removing ferment and regenerating skin, and can help adults recover from injuries."

The military doctor was overjoyed, "Excellent! I'll follow the rules now..."

"go out!"

Xie Changgeng suddenly said.

The two of them were stunned, looked at each other, and did not dare to speak again, so they stepped out as they said.

In the big tent, Xie Changgeng was the only one left.

He picked up the prescription and stared at the beautiful handwriting on his head, with a stiff expression. Slowly, the corners of his lips were closed, and a sneer appeared.

I really think he owed her in his previous life.

He married the Mu daughter and gave in from the first time he went to Changsha to meet her.

Even he himself couldn't believe that until today, for a woman, he had done this to such a state.

What she gave him was such a thin prescription.

He slowly pinched his fists and rubbed the paper with the prescription into his palm bit by bit until it was kneaded into a ball and threw it under his feet.

...

Half a month later, Xie Changgeng arrived in Shangjing at Empress Liu's urgent call.
