Chapter 1231 The More Manpower Shortages, The Better ([-])

"Don't look at Qi girl who acts crazy when she is provoked, but when she is not provoked, she still behaves very well. Don't ask what shouldn't be asked. Just came in for a while, and said a total of two words, or Say goodbye to me, if only my soldiers were as sensible as her, crazy in battle, well-behaved at ordinary times, that would be great, so as to save those boys from fighting when they are free."

"My lord, it's not dark yet." Wei Hong, the deputy beside him, teased for a while, and it was only because they were so close that they could make such a joke.

"Let me think about it, what does it have to do with whether it's dark or not?" Shu Ying cast a glance at him.

"No, my lord, what I mean is to read the letter as soon as it's dark, and do what you need to do, and eat when you're done." Wei Hong quickly put paper on the desk and picked up a pen.

Shu Ying glared at him again angrily, raised her hand to open the letter, spread it out to read, and then arranged follow-up matters.

The boat sailed overnight and arrived at the wharf of Qianhusuo in the afternoon of the next day. The yamen sent servants to lead the people. The lieutenants who stayed behind were counted according to their heads, and handed over to the yamen on the spot. Because there were too many people, they sent cavalry to accompany them to ensure a safe journey. Escort, otherwise, with the number and combat power of the yamen servants, it would be difficult to settle quickly if there is any accident.

Qi Ke's subordinates who came back with the boat also took them back to the city and sent them to the Chen family's mansion. When his own people came back, Qi Ke also asked Shu Ying to say goodbye without any delay, and the reason was ready-made. After taking in so many women and children, the daily food and drink expenses are too high, so I have to go back quickly to save money.

Everything was packed, and taking advantage of the time before the city gate was closed, Qi Ke's team left the city under the escort of the soldiers and boarded the boat of Jia Ji Ship Company.

It was still the same fleet of four ships. Qi Ke and the Detachment of Women lived on a passenger ship, and the women and children collected were scattered on the other three cargo ships full of salt. Although the environment is not good, the safety is safe. .

The news of the destruction of the Aishan village has been spread on the river in the past few days. The boats passing by and the people along the coast have seen the boats escorting the prisoners by the officers and soldiers. This journey is really safe.

In the evening when it was getting dark, boats of different sizes hung up lanterns one after another on the river and slowed down for safe navigation at night. The handymen on the four boats threw buckets of water from the side of the boat to wash the deck, Qi Ke In that boat, on the port side towards the shore, a bucket hit something after it entered the water, and the boatman who fetched the water lifted the bucket up and jumped into the water, and at the same time two people surrounded him where he entered the water.

After a while, there was movement on the ship's side. The boatman who launched the water lifted up a drowned and unconscious girl. The waiting people grabbed each wrist and lifted the girl onto the boat, carefully laying it flat on the deck.

The girl didn't know how long she struggled in the water, her hair was messy, she was skinny and petite, her face was pale and her forehead was bulging, she looked like she was dead, but she still had weak vital signs, her clothes were disheveled, and her belly button couldn't be covered from top to bottom. The bellyband and the thin translucent trousers, not even a complete coat, a straw sandal on the left foot, and the right foot is empty, and I don't know if it was washed away by the current.

Fortunately, the sky is now dark, and the surrounding ships are far away from each other to ensure safety at night. It is estimated that no one saw this scene. The unconscious girl was quickly carried into the cabin for treatment.
