[Chapter 139 - Moonset] may really be the thing of the sea god

When the two passed, Wen Liunian was staring intently at the deck, without blinking his eyes.

Chu Yuan followed his gaze and saw that there was a piece of rice paper there, and he didn't see anything unusual, I don't know why he was so engrossed.

Duan Baiyue called out tentatively: "Lord Wen? ”

Wen Liunian was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the King of the Southwest." ”

"Aiqing, excuse me." Chu Yuan was puzzled, "This is a piece of rice paper, what are you staring at it?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Commander Fang Caizhuo came to Weichen and said that an old fisherman in the army reminded him that there might be a storm tonight, so everyone should be careful." Wen Liunian said, "But this day really doesn't look like it's going to rain, so the fishermen taught that you can use a piece of rice paper to spread it on the deck and write down the length of time it will be soaked in the mist." ”

"So you can predict storms?" Chu Yuan asked.

Wen Liunian shook his head: "It's not 100% accurate, Weichen has been here for a long time, and there has been no change in this paper." The weather in the South China Sea is unpredictable, and even a veteran who comes and goes in the wind and waves may not be able to guess it every time. ”

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and there was not a trace of clouds, and it looked like there was indeed no sign of rain and wind. However, Chu Yuan still ordered the whole army to be more vigilant, the big battle is imminent, and it is always right to pay a little more attention.

Duan Baiyue stood on the lookout, watching the army busy fixing the smaller warships with iron cables, and then looking into the distance, there was a vast mist, as if condensed together, and the wind would not disperse.

Chu Yuan waved at him from below.

Duan Baiyue jumped down: "Finished talking?" ”

"It's just some routine questions, and it's just a cup of tea." Chu Yuan said, "Let's go, take you to eat good things." ”

Duan Baiyue said with a smile: "This is not like you, Lord Wen is almost the same. ”

Chu Yuan dragged him all the way to the kitchen, and before he entered the door, he smelled a fragrance, and he didn't know what was cooking in the pot.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Fish?" ”

"It was Zhao Da who went to sea on purpose to catch Wen Aiqing." Chu Yuan said, "It's rare to see it on weekdays, it dies when it leaves the water, and it's not delicious to make dried fish, only in this sea can you eat fresh goods." ”

Duan Baiyue lifted the lid of the pot and glanced at it, and said, "If you like it, I will go and get it for you tomorrow." ”

"What kind of excitement are you making, these three-eyed yellow can only try their luck, but they don't have it when they go to sea." Chu Yuan said, "Besides, I don't eat fish, I just want you to taste it." ”

Duan Baiyue lowered her head and took a sip of soup, and Chu Yuan asked, "Do you like it or not?" “

"You snatched it for me, so I naturally like it." Duan Baiyue took the opportunity to feed him a spoonful, "Lord Wen eats less of this bowl, and he will be sad for a long time when he thinks about it." ”

Chu Yuan sat across the table, lying on his stomach watching him eat. I'm not hungry, so I feel in a good mood.

"Laughing at what?" Duan Baiyue put down the spoon.

Chu Yuan said: "It's quite pleasing to the eye." ”

"That's it." Duan Baiyue was complacent, "After all, she is the queen." "How can it not be good-looking, the flowers and the moon look sinking fish and geese, it is written in the book.

Chu Yuan lazily stretched out his hand and wanted to pinch his nose, but the boat shook suddenly.

"Be careful!" Duan Baiyue grabbed him and pulled him into his arms. The next moment, the boat shook more and more, and the guards outside stumbled and ran, saying, "Your Majesty, the King of the Southwest, there is a strong wind." ”

Duan Baiyue walked out of the cabin with Chu Yuan, and saw that the sky was already dark, and the wind set off huge waves, hitting the side of the ship hard, splashing several feet high.

Duan Baiyue protected him in his arms and said, "Go to a high place to see?" ”

Chu Yuan nodded, and climbed the high platform with him with difficulty against the wind. Seeing that although the wind and waves were strong, because the precautions had been taken early on, the army was not affected too much, and the camp was not panicked, so there was no need to worry too much.

The heavy rain was pouring down, Duan Baiyue took Chu Yuan back to the cabin, and naturally there was no hot water at this moment, so he only took a dry hand towel to wipe his face for him, and opened the cabinet again, wanting to take a thicker cloak out, but unexpectedly he actually touched a hand of water.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed and asked him.

Duan Baiyue hurriedly took out the things in the cabinet, reached out and touched the bottom, it was still dry, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Yuan walked over and asked again, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's nothing, I was startled, I thought there was water in the boat." Duan Baiyue took out a cloak, "I don't know why, the rest of the clothes are dry, only this one is full of water." ”

Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and touched it, looked at the things on the ground again, and said, "It's not the cloak, it's this box that is seeping water." ”

"The moonset I gave you?" Duan Baiyue was unexpected, opened the wooden box and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that the bronze mirror was already covered with mist, and it was still dripping water.

"It's not anything ordinary." Chu Yuan said, "Eighty percent is indeed left by the Seagod Niangniang. ”

Duan Baiyue glanced inside and said, "I still can't see a human figure." ”

"Let's take it out first." Chu Yuan said, "When the wind and waves are calm, find Wen Aiqing again and see if he knows what's going on." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded, took another piece of clothing and wrapped him in bed, holding the person into his arms with one hand, and grasping the head of the bed with the other, so as not to be thrown out of the cabin by the increasingly violent bumps.

Another huge wave hit, and the ship was tossed to the top. Chu Yuan stretched out his hand to protect Duan Baiyue's head, afraid that he would hit the head of the bed, but after thinking about it, it was not enough, and he simply pressed the whole person on him.

Seeing that people are by their side, they don't kiss each other. Duan Baiyue stepped forward, but she didn't expect to bump into a tremor, and the teeth of the two of them slammed together, and the soreness and Venus flew wildly, almost bursting into tears.

Chu Yuan was depressed in his heart, lowered his head and bit him hard: "Be honest!" ”

Duan Baiyue gasped: "Okay, good." "Why are you so fierce.

Chu Yuan took a soft pillow, stuffed it between the top of his head and the head of the bed, and hugged the person tightly, before he let go of his heart and waited for the calm on his chest. I thought that at most an hour or two would pass, but after three days, the sky was still thunder after thunder, black and oppressive, and it was like a child in the daytime.

At noon on this day, Duan Baiyue went to the kitchen to get steamed buns and fresh water, and when she came back, she saw Chu Yuan sitting at the table, so she frowned and said, "Go back to bed and stay, how long has it been stable, the sky outside is not bright at all, and it is estimated that there are still huge waves." ”

"But I feel like it's going to be sunny." Chu Yuan picked up the moonset on the table and said, "This mirror is not seeping water." ”

Duan Baiyue took a look at it in his hand, and sure enough, the mirror surface was extremely dry, and it was no longer dripping like a few days ago.

"If it's really sunny tomorrow, you'll be doing a great job." Chu Yuan said, "The moonset looks like it can predict the weather in the next few days, and marching and fighting in the sea is more important than anything else." ”

Duan Baiyue sighed: "If you're lucky, you can't stop it." I bought it just to make you happy. ”

Therefore, no matter when, it is always right to be kind to your daughter-in-law, and it is difficult to guarantee when you will be able to pick up the baby.

And so the night passed, and the next morning the clouds actually dispersed, and the morning light broke through the clouds and sprinkled warmth on the deck. The sea was calm, and all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, busy repairing the hull damaged by the wind and waves. Chu Yuan also locked the moonset into the wooden box and put it in the dark compartment at the head of the bed.

Duan Baiyue rubbed his face with his thumb and said, "After eating steamed buns and pickles for the past few days, I have been hungry and thin." ”

"Nonsense, how can it be so fast." Chu Yuan dodged him, "Let's go, go see Wen Aiqing." ”

"I just met, I didn't have anything to do, and I was cooking bacon with Zhao Da's family." Duan Baiyue said, "With this, I am much stronger than you, and I still refuse to eat." ”

"Hungry?" Chu Yuan touched his stomach.

Duan Baiyue said aggrievedly: "Hmm. ”

Chu Yuan smiled and put down the official document in his hand, leaned over and kissed him: "Then I will ask someone to pass the meal, what do you want to eat?" ”

Duan Baiyue hugged the person into his arms, and before he could speak, Sixi announced outside, saying that the vanguard had caught a girl, claiming to be a person from the Eagle Pavilion, and wanted to see the emperor and the king of the southwest.

"Sky Eagle Pavilion, Li Que?" Chu Yuan was surprised.

"Maybe it's true, the spies said she went to sea before." Duan Baiyue said, "I'll go and see, you can stay here." ”

Chu Yuan nodded, and said: "This place is already very close to the country of Fei and Burma, no matter what she says, keep a little more heart." ”

"Nature." Duan Baiyue pushed the door out, asked Sixi to bring Chu Yuan some snacks to cushion his stomach first, boarded a small boat by himself, and ordered the boatman to take it to the front.

A woman was standing with her head down, wrapped in Chu Jun's cotton robe, her hair was also wet, and she looked quite wolf.

"Lord Wang." Zhuo Yunhe said, "This is the person." ”

Hearing someone speak, the woman raised her head timidly, and it was really a powerful magpie.

"Miss Li?" Duan Baiyue stepped forward, "Why are you here?" ”

"Lord Wang." Li Que's lips were pale, shivering from the cold, and he said in a dumb voice: "I heard that the Chu army was coming, so I came here to defect." ”

Zhuo Yunhe also said on the side: "This girl is not far away on Tamsui Island, the brothers bumped into her when they went to fetch water, they thought they were either spies or goblins, but then they heard her claim to know the emperor and the prince, and her subordinates did not dare to be negligent, so they brought it by the way." ”

"A friend's family indeed." Duan Baiyue said, "Let's give people to this king." ”

Li Que looked relieved and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Duan Baiyue called Duan Nian, asked him to find a dry clothes for Li Que to change, and took another boat with him, and asked, "Why did the girl appear on this deserted island in the South China Sea?" ”

"I had a temper with my brother before, and I knew that if I stayed in the territory of Dachu, I would be found by him wherever I was." Li Que said, "I followed the merchant ship to the sea, and then I was cheated of the silver, and I have been wandering between various island countries." This time the war is about to start, everyone is closed, and I can't find a job, so I thought about gambling to see if I can get lucky to find the prince and take me back to Chu State. ”
