After rebirth, I became a scumbag and his aunt

But other merchant ships on the river were not so lucky, and suffered numerous casualties. Among them were more than a dozen large ships carrying grain and grass destined for the southwest border, and almost all of them sank.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Yongping Hou, together with Hu Wende, who had just been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took advantage of his position to repeatedly tamper with the grain, fodder and military pay of the Southwest Army. Subsequent grain, fodder and military pay were delayed in reaching the border.

At that time, my father and brother were fighting bloody battles on the border. They were trapped, their horses were short of food and grass, and they ate bark, grass roots, and finally killed their horses to stay alive. Although the Southwest Army won that battle, they suffered heavy losses.

While my father was still on his way back to the court, the Marquis of Yongping and the Censor took advantage of the situation and embezzled military pay, killed and ate war horses, and the war failed. The generals suffered serious casualties. The emperor was furious and took away his father's military power without conducting any investigation.

The Duke of Dingguo has guarded the southwest for generations and made great achievements in battle. He even lost his grandfather's life in the battle to destroy Chu. Such a famous family for hundreds of years slowly declined after being deprived of military power. Even if there was another war in the border area, my father was a dignified person.

Sir, he has become the deputy general of an ignorant boy. He has no reward for his merits and bears all his misfortunes.

When her father was in trouble, he smiled and comforted her, "It doesn't matter. I have been fighting for half my life, and I just want to take a break."

He stroked the sword hanging on the wall of the study room and sighed deeply, "If it hadn't been for that storm, Duke Dingguo's mansion wouldn't be like this."

She walked to the railing, leaned on it and looked into the distance. The river was much wider than the previous section, and the trees on both sides became a blurred line.

At this time, the wind had picked up on the river, and the escort flags were flapping in the wind, but the slight wind and waves had little effect on their big ship.

Han Youning pointed to the wide river in the distance and said, "The rise and fall of the waves rise and fall with the moon. It will be the fifteenth after tonight, which is the most unstable time on the water. The river is wide and the water is deep in this section. If there is a strong wind, the waves will inevitably become more violent."

Big, I think it’s safer to dock today.”

An old sailor on the side laughed and said, "Young Master Wei, what you said is wrong. Although the tides of the Zhan'an River are controlled by the sun and the moon, they are not as violent as the sea water. The little old man has been walking on the water for most of his life, and the strong wind will not reach him tonight."

Here, it’s okay for us to travel for another day.”

Han Youning recognized this old sailor, his name was Cheng San. In his previous life, he was at the helm and successfully docked the ship. Huo Shan also trusted him and often asked him for advice on matters on the water.

She scratched her head in embarrassment and refused to argue with him. If she insisted too much, she might arouse suspicion.

"Uncle is laughing at me. I have loved reading books on astronomy and geography since I was a child, and I also love to listen to my father's stories about sailing experiences. It was me who dropped my book bag."

Cheng San laughed and said, "Young Master is young and it is not easy to know so much. Things on the water can be very strange. You can only rely on experience to save your life."

"That's what uncle said."

Han Youning stopped mentioning the matter, brought the snacks made by Ling'er and ate them against the railing, and gave Cheng San a few pieces of exquisite snacks.

Cheng San thanked her and had a good impression of this easy-going young master.

Before Han Youning knew there was a vision in the sky, the first people to sense danger were small animals. Cats and dogs on the ground, snakes and rats underground, birds in the sky, and fish in the water.

She casually threw the snack dregs in her hand into the water.

She lay on the railing and watched for a while, then turned around and shouted to Ling'er, "Sister, come and see, why don't the fish in the water eat the snacks you made?"

Ling'er couldn't get over her seasickness and didn't dare to come forward from a distance. "Brother, let's play by ourselves. If I go over there, I will definitely throw up."

Huo Shan was cautious by nature, and Han Youning's previous words made him a little suspicious. When he heard her talk about Yu'er, his eyes flashed.

He stood up and walked to the railing, looking into the river.

There were fish swimming restlessly in the water, and some even jumped out of the water. Han Youning sprinkled some more snacks. The snacks were floating on the water, but no fish were chasing after them.

Huo Shan's eyes narrowed and he waved to Cheng San, "Cheng San, come and see!"
