"He doesn't, there is one in Jinling City." Chu Jiu Lao Shen said, "Since we are asked to be the commander of Gu's army, we must be ready for the boat crossing the river."

"These thousand men are very easy for Young Marshal Gu. He has to try every means to let us cross the river, otherwise his goal will not be achieved." Guo Junnan said sarcastically at them with dark eyes.

"Are the master ready?" Yao Changsheng looked at him with concern and said.

"It's ready." Chu Jiuhei's bright eyes looked at them calmly.

"Why didn't I see the movement?" Tang Bingzhong looked at Chu Jiu in surprise and said.

"You sister-in-law's garment shop is making special clothes. As for the big noise of medicinal materials, it's all in the south." Chu Jiu looked at them calmly and said, "There are no larger medicinal materials merchants in the local area."

"Southern?" Yao Changsheng's amber eyes circulated gently when he heard this, "Are they Gao Ming and the others?"

"Yes! The price can be lowered by them, after all, it's large." Chu Jiu looked at them with a smile and said, "There is less rain in winter, and the Yangtze River flows directly downstream. It's like... and it's straight to Jinling. The speed is fast and the water transportation capacity is also high."

Yao Changsheng looked at Chu Jiu with a high spirit, his eyes were as dark as he was deeply moved, his eyes swept across others, and their growth was eye-catching without realizing it.

"Who will the master take?" Guo Junnan asked with his clear black eyes looking at him.

"I'll go, I'll go." Tang Bingzhong immediately shouted when he heard this, "I'm going to see the final outcome of our Young Marshal Gu. How can you miss such a big show?" He laughed happily, "Haha..."

"You stay." Chu Jiu said with his eyes fixed on him.

"Ga?" Tang Bingzhong's smile froze on his face, "Why don't you let me go?"

"Stay to keep the guard." Chu Jiu looked at him seriously and said, "This time I am going to treat the disease and save the people, not to go to war. What can you do? You don't use a knife or a gun."

Tang Bingzhong blushed in anger and said for a long time, "I have a loud voice! I stand in front of the city gate and promote it hard!"

"Haha..." Yao Changsheng and the others burst into laughter.

"It's a reason, but we can just post a notice. You have a loud voice. How many days can you shout?" Chu Jiu looked at him and shook his head and laughed. "It's not easy to stay at home. We'll take down Jingzhou and eliminate the Seven-Star Platform that continues the country's destiny. We have to be careful of others sending troops!" He looked at him lightly and said, "Our Bingzhong is a good player in charge and fighting. You have to let you use your strengths, right?" This tone was like coaxing a child.

"Is that right?" Tang Bingzhong said with a smile, "Then I'll sit at home." Looking at Chu Jiu's smile on his lips, he thought about it and suddenly opened his eyes widened, "Brother is not right, no, is Yan Ting still able to send troops so quickly now?" I felt like he was fooled by the boss, "I'm freezing to death in winter."

"We will not be cured soon when we go to Jinling." Chu Jiu looked at him with his eyes and said seriously, "Maybe it will not be cured in a year or two."

Tang Bingzhong glanced around the room, "Brother, take Brother Changsheng."

"Junan is with us." Chu Jiu looked at him with deep eyes and said, "You are the only one left in the family, Bingzhong is very burdened!"

"Brother, don't worry, if you are not here, I will definitely guard this home." Tang Bingzhong patted his chest and looked at them and promised.

"Junan and we go to Jinling. This is going to the epidemic area. No problem!" Chu Jiu asked with his eyes falling on him.

Guo Junnan was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and nodded, "No problem!"

Although this solicitation of opinions is symbolic, I really didn't expect it.

"Then let's go home and prepare and set off the day after tomorrow." Chu Jiu said with his eyes swept over them.

"The last general will take the order!" Yao Changsheng and the other two stood up and clasped their fists with their hands, bowed slightly.

&*&

Chu Jiu watched the three of them leave before he stood up and returned to the back hall.

Chu Jiu handed Gu Congshan's letter to Zhong Yuxiu, "Look!" He said that, sitting on the chair and watching her unfold the letter.

Zhong Yuxiu finished reading it with all his eyes, closed her eyes, looked up at him and said sadly, "I am still feeling guilty about whether to save him or not. This letter completely eliminated the little bit of kindness in my heart."

"Don't be sad." Chu Jiu stretched out his long arm and held her hand and said, "Heaven can still live if he commits evil, but he can't live if he commits evil. He cannot live if he dies."

"So, you are planning to go." Zhong Yuxiu took a deep breath and calmed down and said to him.

"Yes!" Chu Jiu nodded with clear eyes at her.

Zhong Yuxiu closed her eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and calculated the time, "Gaoming and their medicinal herbs can't arrive yet, isn't it a bit early?"

"Go early and see the real situation, and see how to start." Chu Jiu said with a quiet look at her.

"Then you have to be careful." Zhong Yuxiu said tightly as he held his hand.

"Water Gu can only be obtained when it comes to water. In the middle of winter, we can't get into the water and bald water." Chu Jiu looked at her with a brisk voice and said, "I'm not rushing cold water in the winter of Changsheng."

"Ah!" Zhong Yuxiu stood up and said excitedly, looking at him with a pale face, "What should I do if I eat and drink? It's all water Gu."

"Don't be excited, don't be excited!" Chu Jiu patted her hand gently and said, "According to my younger brother and sister, you can only get bald water by going to the water. This water is usually eaten, drinking, and boiled. If there is a water Gu, it will be burned to death." His bright eyes looked at him and said, "Right! My younger brother and sister said it was from..." He pointed out and said, "I crawled into my skin, but I didn't say it was from my mouth."

Zhong Yuxiu sat down and turned her eyes on him, "When Sister Tao comes, ask!"

"Don't scare yourself." Chu Jiu looked at her gently and said, "You are continuing to study this water Gu these days, and you should have a deeper understanding."

"But I'm still afraid! It's a plague." Zhong Yuxiu said with his pupils slightly shrinking and looking at him nervously.

"Not afraid, no fear!" Chu Jiu kept stroking her hand comfortably, "I believe in my younger brother and sister, and I believe in what is written in the book. I don't know that it's that scary."

"Anyway, if you don't come back safely, I can't let go of my heart." Zhong Yuxiu held his hand tightly and said, "My wife must be careful. You must take care of yourself. Listen to what Sister Tao said and do whatever she wants."

"Yeah!" Chu Jiu nodded hurriedly to calm her heart.

Chu Jiu wrote a letter to Gu Congshan. He was very anxious when he learned that Gu Dashen was sick and set off to visit him soon, hoping that Gu Dashen would recover soon, without mentioning the inheritance.

The words are sincere and the words are sincere and the lines are sincere, so that Gu Congshan can't see any flaws. It is unknown whether his face will be distorted when he sees Xin.

The letter also agreed on crossing the river, and gave the messenger a step to enter Jinling first.

&*&

Taking some luggage, Tao Qini and the others rode their horses towards Jinling in early winter.

I took the land and water route, but I did not go down the river. Instead, after crossing the river, the ships placed in the territory of Jinling left.

There was not even a person who led the way, so they threw them alone in Jiangnan.

"What does this Young Marshal Gu mean?" Guo Junnan sat at the right time and looked at them with confusion on his face and asked, "Why don't you go down the river, it's fast."

"I'm afraid we'll find something! We can threaten and turn the bow of the ship directly." Yao Changsheng guessed with certainty, snorted coldly and said, "It's not that I'm maliciously speculating. With Mr. Gu's personality, I want us to appreciate the hell-like tragedy brought by this plague, which will cause us great psychological pressure."

Chu Jiu gently stroked his forehead, "I have to say that Changsheng is right, and he really agrees with Mr. Gu's behavior." He rode a horse and said, "Let's go!"

Entering the boundary of Jinling, it is obviously different from Jiangbei.

"Changsheng, this is the south, why does it feel even more desolate than the north!" Guo Junnan pulled the reins and slowed down. "It feels cold, cold. Why don't there be even fishing boatmen by the river? The wooden boat roof is broken." He looked up at the bright sunshine above his head, but he didn't feel warm at all.

"It's very rare to have no sunk." Chu Jiu tilted his head slightly and looked at him, "It seems that this ship has been in use for a long time."

"We have been riding for two days after crossing the river, but we haven't even seen the crowd." Tao Qini looked at them with a serious expression.

"When passing by the village, the town seems to be no longer talking about people, there is not even a sound of roosters crowing." Guo Junnan couldn't help but mutter to look at the bleak wilderness.

"There is no rooster crowing thousands of miles!" Yao Changsheng looked at them in a heavy mood and said.

Guo Junnan looked at him in confusion and said, "I have been to Jiangnan. This wealthy people in Jiangnan know, why is it so depressing!"

"Have we entered the epidemic area?" Chu Jiu looked at them and asked.

"I don't know this." Guo Junnan said very simply, "Don't ask me."

Sweep...Their eyes looked at Tao Qini, who was wrapped like a bear, with only black eyes exposed.

Tao Qini greeted them, "I haven't seen the patient, and I don't know." The black eyes turned, "If you want to talk about Xiaose, it's not surprising that you have seen the ruins of Bianliang City. The once prosperous Qingming River Map can't find any trace at all."

"There is no such thing as the north in the south, and it has been war for years." Chu Jiu said in surprise.

"The south holds the world's taxes in his hand. Where does the food and grass come from when fighting come from? It requires silver." Yao Changsheng's eyes condensed into frost, and his tone was slightly cold, "The north is shattering the ground, and the south's taxes are good."

"But is this the place controlled by the rebel army, which is the same?" Guo Junnan tilted his head slightly and looked at Yao Changsheng and asked.

"In a short period of time, killing officials and seizing the mansion, and having a mountain of gold and silver, but this is a waste of money, and there will be a day spent on the silver. Who do you think they want it?" Yao Changsheng looked at him with a cold face and said, "Not all the rebels are like the masters, who are farming their own farms, solving military rations, finding ways to earn money and solving military pay. Let the people under their ruler recuperation, and the taxes are extremely low, and even exempt."

"We have been hovering in Jiangbei. We haven't been in Jiangnan for a long time. I thought Jiangnan was as rich as I saw before!" Guo Junnan pulled the scarf on his face and said, "Fireworks are coming to Yangzhou in March! But they are indeed warmer than Jiangbei." He smiled and said, "Now it seems that we are doing well compared to the official army and the rebel army!"

"Yes! They are beyond imagination!" Chu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the desolate and beyond imagination in front of him.

Although Gao Ming and his friends often send news from all over the south of the Yangtze River, the impact they saw with their own eyes was still unbelievable.

"Master, I will conquer the world. I am full of confidence along the way." Guo Junnan screamed happily. If it weren't for the time being, I would definitely be dancing.

"Haha..." Chu Jiuying looked at him with smiles and shook her head and said with a smile, "Why is Junnan so 'live'? I don't understand if I see through it or not, I don't understand it!"

"Master, we didn't dare to think before? They gave us confidence." Guo Junnan raised his arms and waved, "Is this the world ours, right? Brothers."

"Yes!" they shouted in unison.

"This Junnan." Chu Jiumei pointed at him with a smile.

"Shhh..." Tao Qini put her index finger on her lips and looked at them.

"What's wrong? There's something wrong." Yao Changsheng said nervously at her.

"There is movement!" Tao Qini's dark brown pupils looked at them and said.

"Why didn't I hear it?" Guo Junnan said calmly, pulling his ears, "It's so weird that even a duck is not alarmed with such a big noise."

"Be careful when you go out." Chu Jiu looked at him coldly with his eyes, "Don't be proud, trouble comes from the mouth."

"I understand." Guo Junnan shrank his neck and said honestly.

"Go ahead, speed up your pace and see what's going on." Chu Jiu clamped his horse's belly and increased his speed.

The smoke and dust rolled on the official road. After riding for about ten miles, I finally saw the curling smoke from cooking.

"Hey! There's someone else's cigarette!" Guo Junnan pointed at the smoke scattered in the wind in front of him from afar, "Wait, why just one of them?"

"Then there may be only one family." Yao Changsheng said casually when he heard this.

"Let's go and have a look." Chu Jiu looked around and looked around.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves broke through the tranquility and ran towards the smoke.

"Hey! Why is this smoke gone?" Guo Junnan pointed to a short distance ahead and said, "It should be a town at this scale!"

"Blue bricks and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water." Yao Changsheng looked at the typical Jiangnan town in front of him, "You can vaguely see the prosperity of the past."

"It looks very depressed now!" Chu Jiu smashed it and said regretfully, "This house is so good, it's all two-story small buildings! But no one lives in it and loses popularity. It's a lot of failure."

"We have entered the epidemic area." Tao Qini suddenly said as she looked at them.

"How do you know? Brother and sister, don't scare me! We are timid." Chu Jiu looked at her with a big change in his face and said, "You won't say that just because there is no one in this town! Maybe the autumn harvests are all in the fields at noon! They harvest later than us."
