Chapter 1200: The Shadow Emerges
"Lord Wang, Huangdao has arrived. "It was breakfast, the captain came to report, Chu He put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the women together, came to the bow of the boat, and saw the big island in the sea, if you don't know, people still think that this is a new world in the sea, because there are already many people on this island, and there are all kinds of houses on the high seaside.
Here, there are already some naturally formed wharves for ships to moor, and the appearance of the five-tooth ship has alarmed all the people on the shore, and every fisherman knows that there are only three five-tooth ships in Datang, and the appearance of each one represents a noble figure to follow.
"There are now more than 30,000 people in Huangdao, forming a market city, and it is said that the imperial court intends to set up a new district state, with Huangdao as the center, called Penglai Prefecture. The concubine whispered in Chu He's ear, briefly introducing the information of the Huangdao in front of him, but Chu He didn't seem to hear it at all, but his consciousness spread and shrouded the entire island.
I don't know how long it took, when the hull of the ship stopped and the captain commanded the crew to lower the plank, Chu He turned around and said to the concubine: "Xiao Huo, this king seems to feel her breath, a very special breath, the person we are looking for is indeed here." ”
The concubine smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, in fact, yesterday I had already sent a message to the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai to the nearest ship to Huangdao, and now there have been two major searches here, but nothing has been found. ”
Chu He stretched out his hand, touched the head of the concubine, and said: "Don't worry, this king's feeling will not be wrong, this time this time this king is in person, and no one can escape the eyes of this king." ”
Lian Xiuxiu comforted: "Sister Huo, don't worry, since the prince said so, there must be evidence, and when you go to the island, you will definitely be able to find Fairy Qin." ”
The senior concubine said noisily: "If I can't find Senior Sister Qin, in fact, I won't have too many emotions, but I'm afraid that the prince will lose his prestige." ”
Chu He smiled: "Is it okay to have some confidence in this king?"
Fan Liangji had already walked over, clenched his fists and said, "Lord Wang, the boat ladder has been lowered, we can get off the boat." ”
Chu He took the hand of the concubine and said, "Let's go, get off the boat and take a walk, after a few days on the boat, do you feel unstable, or go ashore and be more steady." ”
Chu He felt fortunate that these women were not seasick, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.
Walking down the ladder, there was already a group of people waiting, led by an official, there were already officials sent by the imperial court to manage it in advance, although it was only a county lieutenant, but it was the biggest official here.
"Su Yishui, the governor of Huangdao County, has seen an adult, but I don't know what to call an adult?"
This is a middle-aged man with good eyesight, looking at the Chu River at this time, as well as the people around the Chu River, of course, more importantly, around the Chu River, there are already sailors on the ship on guard, which all shows that the identity of the Chu River is extraordinary.
Chu He's hand spread out, and he erected the token that I had come in, and the golden light shone, which made Su Yishui's face change greatly, and his half-bowed body suddenly knelt in front of Chu He, his face began to turn pale, and several companions on his side, as well as a few servants, were also inexplicable, but they all knelt down.
"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty. ”
This is not only an adult, but also a person who is bigger than an adult, this Su Yishui is also smart, and he puts himself very low, otherwise he is afraid that his head will not be protected at this time.
"This is the carefree prince of Chang'an City who was instructed by His Majesty to travel around the Tang Dynasty. The general of the guard immediately reported the identity of Chu He loudly, the immortals entered Chang'an, the power of the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, and it is full of glory to be able to do things by the side of King Xiaoyao.
"Humble to the King of Pleasure. ”
Chu He waved his hand and said, "Get up, come forward and speak, this king has something to ask." ”
"Yes, my lord. The man trembled a little, approached, bowed down and said, "If the prince has something to ask, as long as he knows it, he will definitely know everything." ”
I also checked the people around Chu He before, but at this moment, I didn't look at it, and I didn't even dare to raise my head for fear of offending.
"This is Huangdao, why is it famous?"
Su Yishui said: "Report to the prince, because the history records that the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty traveled to this island, so he left his name and called Huangdao." ”
Chu He asked again: "Are there any relics of the First Emperor on the island?"
"Yes, not far away, there is a Qinhuang Terrace, the most beautiful view, I heard that it is also the place where the first emperor stayed, leaving a monument. ”
"Take this king over and see it. ”
"Yes, my lord, please come with my humble duties and princesses. ”
Under the guidance of Su Yishui, Chu He, all the women, and all the soldiers and guards marched towards Qin Huangtai, along the way, aroused onlookers, and the fishermen on the island seemed to know Su Yishui, who must be the only official, but now seeing him so respectful in front of the young people, he knew that this was a big man.
No one dared to disturb, and the oncoming passers-by also avoided it one after another, allowing the Chu River to flow unimpeded, and enjoying the market that was beginning to take shape on this Huangdao, as well as the humanistic style, which may be the reason for the convention, it is also quiet and peaceful, like a rare paradise.
Huangdao is not small in area, but there are very few places to develop, just a few hundred meters close to the sea, forming a dense settlement, extending inward, are dense jungles, maybe with more and more people on the island, it will slowly push in, but this may take tens of hundreds of years.
About half an hour later, Chu He and his party came to what Su Yishui said, in front of Qinhuangtai, this is just a simple platform, just on the coast, and the place protruding into the sea, it seems very dangerous, on the platform, there is a small pavilion, the small pavilion has a name, called Qinhuangtai, or become famous.
The Chu River stepped into it, facing the sea breeze, condescending, only to find that this seaside bank, actually a pure natural stone wall, although eroded by wind and rain, but tenaciously standing, it seems to be looking forward, but it is like watching, but no one knows what the builder of this pavilion is watching.
Standing here, Chu He seemed to be able to feel the figure of Emperor Qin back then, feel the domineering spirit of the first emperor through the ages, looking at the vast ocean in the distance, his mind was changing, and his mood fluctuated.
"It's so spectacular, it's really a beautiful place, no wonder the First Emperor stayed here. ”
Standing in the air, like an immortal, standing here, Wan Wan couldn't help but think of the prince, here is in contrast with the identity of the prince, which is reminiscent of Pianpiao. ”
Lian Xiuxiu said: "Since the prince said that he met the first emperor, could it be that this is the first emperor's thoughts about the prince?"
Chu He didn't joke with a few women, pointed to the incense on the side, and there was still smoke at the moment, and asked, "Lieutenant Su, is there anyone here?"
County Lieutenant Su immediately stepped forward a few steps and said: "Lord Wang, this place has become a symbol of Huangdao, and many good men and women regard this place as a place of faith, so they will come to beg for blessings, so the incense is prosperous." ”
Chu He asked again: "On weekdays, who comes here the most?"
Su County Lieutenant said: "There are good men and women, every New Year's holiday, or festival, there are a lot of people, but if you say who comes here the most, of course, it must be the dumb aunt, the dumb aunt lives nearby, and she is responsible for managing this Qinhuangtai on weekdays, like some cleaning and other work, she is in charge, as a reward, some people bring offerings, are handled by her." ”
When the concubine heard this, her heart moved, and she immediately took a step forward and asked, "Where is this dumb aunt now?"
"The princess was interested, and she immediately sent someone to summon her. Su Yishui beckoned, and a servant came and listened to the order: "Go and summon the dumb aunt, the princess has something to ask." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Seeing this, Wan Wan asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, is this dumb aunt Fairy Qin?"
Chu He smiled and said, "You'll know when you see it later, this Qin Huangtai is not simple, and there are many stories hidden?"
Wan Wan found that Chu He seemed to know the secret here, and curiously leaned her head over, wanting to ask for an understanding, but only got a chestnut, Chu He said: "The story should be discovered slowly, and if you tell it all at once, wouldn't it be fun?"
Wan Wan looked pitiful, stroked her head, and scolded: "The prince is dead, which provokes Wan Wan's curiosity, but deliberately teases others." ”
In fact, at this moment, everyone was curious about the dumb aunt, as Chu He said, this dumb aunt may be Fairy Qin, and it is simply seamless to cover up with this identity, so everyone is staring ahead, waiting for the official to bring the dumb aunt to come.
Tea Kung Fu, the official has arrived with a woman in her thirties, seeing everyone, her body trembled slightly, and she seemed to be a little scared, after giving a salute, her fingers danced, it seemed to be sign language, it could be seen that she was a real mute, not pretended, on her body, there was no trace of disguise.
This woman's age is in line with it, but as the first beauty in the rivers and lakes, even if she is over thirty years old, Qin Mengyao should be the most attractive age in her life, she should not be as dark and bland as the woman in front of her, without a trace of so-called temperament, a pure mortal.
But coming with hope, the concubine still asked, looked at the dumb aunt in front of her and asked, "Dumb aunt, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, how long have you been here?"
The dumb aunt frowned, waved her hand gently, and Su Yishui explained on the side: "Princess, the dumb aunt said, she doesn't know how many years, she has been with the dumb aunt for a while, and the dumb aunt is like a naughty child, I'm afraid she can't return to too complicated problems." ”
Shi Fei Huo looked carefully, and then asked, "Dumb aunt, is there anyone else here besides you?"
The dumb aunt seemed to understand, shook her head again and again, and Su Yishui answered for her and said, "Princess, she said no." ”
The senior concubine was a little disappointed, turned back to Chu He and said, "Lord Wang, he is not my senior sister, if you face to face, it is impossible for the senior sister to hide from my eyes." ”
Chu He waved his hand and motioned for the dumb aunt to retreat, this is a simple woman, standing here is very scared, there is no need to let her suffer.
"Of course this king knows that he is not your senior sister, she is really just a believer who admires the first emperor in her heart, but don't be disappointed, your senior sister is indeed here, always there, and even she can hear us talking. ”
The concubine was shocked, looked left and right, and shouted: "Lord, where is it, where is my senior sister?"
"Under the Qin Emperor's Terrace. Chu He laughed and asked, "This king is right, Fairy Qin?"
Everyone was shocked, and they were stunned one by one, because as soon as Chu He's words fell, the next moment, a soft and bright voice suddenly sounded, this voice was like a dream, and the senior concubine heard it at once, it was the voice of senior sister Qin Mengyao.
"Meng Yao has been cultivating in seclusion for eight years, and has never been discovered, who is Your Excellency, the Great Sui Dynasty, when did a prince like you appear?"
The concubine suddenly came to the barricade of the small pavilion, and shouted downward: "Senior sister, I am the concubine, I miss you so much, the Great Sui Dynasty has fallen, and now the Tang Dynasty is established, and the Tang Emperor is Li Shimin." ”
"Concubine Huo, are you married? The Great Sui is gone, Li Shimin of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty?" A somewhat startled voice came, as if he was slowly accepting these new information, and after a leisurely sigh, the female voice came: "Concubine Huo, when the senior sister left, you were just an innocent child, I didn't expect that after more than ten years, are the masters of the Zhai Yuan okay?"
"Everyone's so good, just missing you. The senior concubine shouted: "Senior sister, all our disciples in the sect are constantly looking for your whereabouts in the rivers and lakes, if it is not for the prince this time, I am afraid it will be in vain, senior sister, what happened back then, why did you hide here and never return to the door?"
