One hundred and seventy-four, sunk
Qin Mao was born by the sea, grew up on a boat, and was accustomed to seeing the ever-changing sea. Seeing the sparkling sea of the rising sun, a peaceful scene of calm and calm www.biquge.info, he was very anxious, and after a while he raised his eyes to look at the island in the distance.
Zhu Zhigao walked up to him and said, "I have arranged the work for you, is the dead fish according to the original plan?"
Qin Mao was finally reluctant to set his eyes on the dead fish some distance from the boat, only to see that its body was several times swollen than earlier, and it would explode on the surface of the sea at the slightest irritation, and countless seabirds were standing on the dead fish pecking at the carrion.
He asked, "It stands to reason that the floating corpses on the surface of the sea must attract other fish, why not?"
Zhu Zhigao looked at the island not far away and said, "I asked the crew to see the surface of the sea, and the warm current is gone, and this island will definitely sink to the bottom of the sea." At that time, it is estimated that only the fish will know, so they dare not approach when they see the food. ”
Qin Mao sighed, "Are the crew ready to evacuate at any time?"
"It's arranged. ”
"Let that dead fish go, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, maybe we will have to borrow someone else's boat to escape. ”
Zhu Zhigao turned around and was about to make arrangements, Qin Mao asked at his back: "I see that you like her very much, why can you be so calm?"
"I like her character, but I can't accept her identity. She's a princess, she's a nobleman, I'm just an ordinary businessman, we can't get together no matter how we go, and helping her get things done is the only thing I can do. ”
Qin smiled, self-aware people have always been likeable. But I heard Zhu Zhigao ask: "Brother Qin, since you talked about this topic, I'm curious about what your relationship is with her?"
"Hehe," this question was a little embarrassing, Qin Mao thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't have anything special to do with it, if we meet on the battlefield, we will definitely not be soft." ”
Zhu Zhigao left with doubts, and Xiao Baoer's special identity and special personality can balance so many "complex" relationships.
When the sun leaps out of the water and the bright sunlight begins to dazzle, the eyes return. Seeing that the boat was still floating on the surface of the sea, and fearing that the others would not be able to find the means to cross the sea, he jumped into the boat with his strength and swam back to the big boat.
Qin Mao asked the crew to pull him onto the boat, and when he saw him holding a large bag of things, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"Got it?"
Jairus put the things down, carefully recalled the position where the temple door was about to close when he left, and said with a heart: "I can go again, and quickly ask the crew to prepare a few solid bags for me." ”
Knowing that someone had returned, Zhu Zhigao walked from the cabin to the deck. Hearing this, he said regretfully, "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!"
The crowd followed his line of sight and saw a treasure ship several times their size heading towards him. The yellow pennant painted with the unicorn pattern is waving in the wind, and the Song lord Xuan Dexian stands on the bow of the ship with his hands on his back, and the left and right sides of the ship are full of neatly dressed guards.
Qin Mao sighed secretly, Lord Song is a clear robbery! First sent a small boat to follow their boat, and after receiving the confirmed news, the big boat turned to chase after them...... If the ship does not show the flag, the two sides may still be able to fight, he is a victorious general at sea, and it is not difficult to win more with less......
Thinking about it, the treasure ship was already close at hand, and the guards over there quickly set up a pedal between the two ships.
The Lord of Song wore a crown and court clothes, looking like he was waiting for them to go to worship.
Qin Mao is his son-in-law, and he has to pass it with affection and reason. During this period, he took advantage of the opportunity to tidy up his clothes and signaled Jairus to quickly find a place to hide, and as soon as he left with his front foot, Zhu Zhigao followed him to the treasure ship.
Lord Song's face is dark and thin, with deep outlines, if it weren't for the court clothes, he would really look like a businessman who runs the sea all year round. The dazzling sunlight made him squint his eyes slightly and talk to Qin Mao, Zhu Zhigao couldn't see the bottom of his eyes, and helplessly dispelled the idea of figuring out his thoughts.
Maybe because Qin Mao is also there, Lord Song is really not responsible, so he can only put on the appearance that everyone met here. He praised Qin Mao, saying that he found the royal relics in the sea and did not rush to the island, so he was really a cautious and cautious person......
The two were still talking, and the other guards were ready to land on the island. Seeing that they carried incense sticks in their hands, placed incense burners on them, and some people carried fruits and vegetables, and livestock to be sent to the island, it was obvious that the Song Dynasty was mainly worshipping on the island.
Zhu Zhigao is a businessman and knows that business is to last for a long time, and it is best to have peace in the world. Seeing Qin Mao watching these people turn upside down without saying a word, he couldn't help but remind Lord Song that the underwater green boat surfaced on the fifteenth day of every month, and stayed for one to two days at most.
Hearing this, Lord Song's already slightly narrowed eyes narrowed so that they could barely see. At that moment, Qin Mao knew that he had a murderous intent, and couldn't help but shrink back, then straighten his back and maintain his original standing posture.
The Qin family wants supremacy at sea, which is the foundation for the family to survive in the storm of power. For this reason, whether it is to cooperate with King Chun or marry the daughter of the Song Lord, it is a necessary means to maintain everything existing in the family!
Lord Song asked, "Your ships are so far away from the island because they are worried that the island will sink?"
Zhu Zhigao just wanted to answer, but Lord Song glared at him, and Qin Mao said with a sense of humor, "Exactly." ”
Lord Song asked again: "Is there anyone on the island?" Qin Mao lied: "No one, I was planning to send people ashore in a small boat." ”
"A bunch of nonsense" did not allow Qin to refute, and Lord Song continued: "Go back to your ship, Jin'er is pregnant, treat her better in the future." Don't mess around with that alien princess, she will step through the mountains and rivers of Daxia sooner or later. ”
Qin returned to the boat in a daze, the two wives in front of him had never brought him a son and a half daughter, and he didn't expect Xuanjin to be pregnant. If he really wants to be grateful, he also has to thank Xiao Bao'er, it was this person who cured his hidden disease by unconventional means......
Zhu Zhigao was not as lucky as Qin, he was forced to land on the island with the Song lord, and listened to the Song lord read out the secret edict left by the first emperor in front of a certain unicorn, and learned that the Song lord had been looking for the underwater green boat all these years and was entrusted by the first emperor.
The group came to the stone gate, the stone gate that had been opened before had long been restored to its original state, the soft bun placed on the balance had long been gone, and the whole temple was like no one had ever come.
Lord Song and the strategist pondered for a moment in front of the balances, and they really couldn't guess what answer Sima Xiao wanted. Some people also looked at the patterns on the stone pillars and guessed that sacrifices needed to be placed on the scales, but they couldn't say what should be placed.
Time is constantly passing, and everyone is waiting for Lord Song to decide. He thought for a while, and put the secret decree in his hand on the scales, as if he wanted to say that this trip was ordered by the emperor, not for his own selfishness.
Lord Song's behavior was very risky, and everyone waited with bated breath. When they saw that the secret decree was equal to the stone carved scroll, and heard that a door was opened, all kinds of congratulatory voices continued to be heard, and everyone went to the door where the jade seal was placed on the scale.
The stone door was only opened for a third of the way, and Lord Song looked at the stone jade seal and the empty tray on one side, and then looked at the height of the stone door opening, and directly ordered someone to drill into the door to find out if the hall was safe.
A few guards were ordered to enter and exit in a moment. Reply: There is no mechanism in the main hall, it is dark and lacks lighting, and there is no one else in the preliminary inspection......
Lord Song looked at the sky, the hour was still early, and he asked people to send lighting tools such as fire candles to the main hall. After waiting for the inside to be ready, he entered the main hall with his personal guards.
There are not many people who are lucky enough to enter the main hall, and they are all smart people who are one in a hundred miles in the Song Dynasty. Lord Song wanted more than just books, he knew better than anyone that there was more than one layer of the underwater green boat, and the medicine that could make people immortal was hidden in the bottom layer of the main hall.
The smart people followed the Song Lord away, and there were some loyal but not very smart people left in the square.
When the wind rose on the sea, the secret decree placed by the Lord of Song on the balance was blown away. One of them asked his companion, "Do you want to put away the secret decree, it's not good to blow it away for a while!" The companion thought this was a good suggestion, and ran to ask the chief.
The chief stood guard by the open stone door, and in order to ensure that the stone door would not close suddenly, he had several ballast stones from the ship taken under the door. After listening to the questions of his subordinates, he replied without hesitation, "Hurry up, that is the secret decree of the first emperor, and there is only one copy in the world!"
The subordinates took the secret decree from the tray with meritorious service, and the balance began to tilt. With a "boom", the stone slabs around the main hall began to dent, and the entire island shook and began to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Zhu Zhigao ran extremely fast, beckoning everyone to go quickly while running. The crowd had no idea what was happening, and instinctively followed him into the sea, trying to swim towards the distant ship. Some people also found that something was wrong when they ran out of a section, and the treasure ship was moored next to the island, why did they want to jump into the sea to escape?
It turned out that he was very far-sighted, how could Lord Song's ship leave without the Song Lord escaping? All the people who ran on the treasure ship fell to the bottom of the sea along with the island because the captain refused to sail.
The islands sank, and the sea created huge whirlpools. Zhu Zhigao felt like he was being dragged by his feet, and he couldn't swim far no matter how he swam. Seeing that many of the people who fled with him were caught in the whirlpool because of their poor swimming, he could only move forward in despair, and move forward.
At this moment, the dead fish, which was swollen to the extreme, was also swept to the edge of the whirlpool.
Qin risked someone to shoot arrows at the dead fish, risking shooting Zhu Zhigao to shoot the fish and let it explode by itself.
The dead fish exploded, and Zhu Zhigao and some people were pushed out of the whirlpool by the force of the explosion, and were finally rescued. Behind them, the island sank and was swallowed up by the sea in an instant.
The sun sets over the sea, and the fiery red glow makes the sea look extremely beautiful.
Zhu Zhigao looked at the sea with palpitations and asked, "On the fifteenth of next month, will it still appear?"
Qin Mao shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and asked Zhu Zhigao rhetorically, "Do you want them to appear?"
Zhu Zhigao said: "No matter what we think, she will definitely appear, I think the world owes her a seat, what do you think?"
Qin Mao suddenly remembered what Lord Song said before leaving: Don't mess around with that alien princess, she will step through the mountains and rivers of Great Xia sooner or later. He said, "Yes, there will be her in this world." ”
On the other side of the ship, Su Su pleaded with Jairus, "On behalf of King Chun, you will definitely be able to persuade General Mao to stay in the nearby sea area and wait for them to come back, can you go and beg him?"
"Susu, didn't you think about taking this opportunity to marry me and completely forget the humiliating life in the past?"
Su Su looked at Jianxi in surprise, "I don't feel humiliated in my previous life, do you think my life is humiliating?"
"You were originally a young lady from an official family, but you became a maidservant because of misfortune...... Isn't it humiliating to sell his hue in order to fulfill his master's wishes?"
Su Su has never considered everything she has done in the past from this perspective, she has been reduced to a servant, but Xuan Ze treats her well and teaches her a lot of things. She did rely on her hue to attract Yelu Zongyuan, who could not even save her life......
Everything is her life, she doesn't feel humiliated, why does Jairus think she is humiliated?
"I'm sorry, I don't think you've ever known me, and what you see is only your imaginary Susu, not the real me. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I have never been a woman who obediently stays at home and waits for Lang Jun to come back, I like to live an adventurous life and enjoy all the consequences of this life, even death!"
Jianhua didn't believe it, "You are not such a person in the eyes of my brother-in-law." ”
Su Su knew that he was talking about Feng Yi, and she was indeed not such a person at that time. She had just left Xuan Ze, she couldn't find her direction, she had no dreams, and she didn't know what she wanted...... It wasn't until Xiao Bao'er asked her again and again what she really wanted, that she kept reflecting and finally realized what she wanted in life.
"Time changes, people always change, what do you say?"
Jairus stroked Su Su's hair, and saw that there was suddenly a bright red rose in her black hair.
He said, "I will wait for you until I am restored." ”
Once King Chun's deeds are completed, Jairus can not only restore his identity as the son of the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, but also go further because of his dragon skills. At that time, his marriage will only be a transaction, not a love!
Su Su understood in his heart, but asked in his mouth: "Your relationship actually has a time limit?"
"Anything beautiful has an expiration date, like flowers in your hair, time waits for no one. ”
Su Su concealed the huge loss in her heart and whispered, "I know." ”
Jairus sighed lightly and said to the figure hiding behind the mast, "I'll go to General Mao to discuss things, and you guys can talk slowly." ”
Su Su didn't know martial arts, and he didn't find anyone hiding nearby. After listening to Jianxi's words, she raised her eyes to look at the mast, and saw Zhu Zhigao walking out very embarrassed, "I have something to do with Miss Susu, and I just came here not long ago." ”
"What's the matter with you?"
"The girl doesn't want to wait for them to come back?"
"You think they're still alive?"
Zhu Zhigao didn't answer, just looked at Su Su and smiled. After a while, Su Su also smiled, "Are we particularly stupid, always thinking that that person will not die like this?"
"There should be hope in life, you say?"
"What do you need me to do?"
"I want the girl, in the name of the princess, to have the ship's cook come out with the silver, and then form a caravan at sea. ”
Su Su was thorough at a glance, why did she forget that Xiao Baoer was the big shopkeeper of the bun shop. She could ask for a sum of money from Er'er in the name of Xiao Bao'er, and ask Zhu Zhigao to reorganize the caravan and continue to search for the two in the nearby seas.
"I know what you mean, so I'll do it. ”
In the dark room, Xiao Bao'er was grumbling with hunger. She tugged at the corner of Yao Xitong's clothes and didn't let go, "Dead turtle, where is the bun, give me one, okay?"
"Let me kiss it. ”
"Don't, you used this trick to deceive me once yesterday, and I didn't even eat the bun when my mouth was swollen, it's not cost-effective!"
"Then you're hungry. ”
