Sikong Rui, a scholar in white, is also somewhat famous in the rivers and lakes. Although Chu Yuan had seen him in Nanyang before, he was only thinking about Tianchensha at that time, and there was Duan Baiyue who was always hiding from him, so he naturally had no time to take care of others. So after hearing the news this time, I was also quite happy in my heart, I originally wanted to see it in person, but I was intercepted by Duan Baiyue halfway.

"What the hell?" Chu Yuan was suspicious.

"He wronged me again." Duan Baiyue took the person back to the cabin, "Sikong is cold and hungry, he has been floating at sea for two days, he has just eaten and slept this time, and it is not too late to talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

"So pathetic?" Chu Yuan was frightened.

"It's okay to marry a fierce daughter-in-law." Duan Baiyue squeezed his hand, "After getting married, you can't learn." ”

Chu Yuan thought for a while and said, "At least Sikong still has a ship." ”

Duan Baiyue couldn't cry or laugh: "Listening to this posture, will I not even have a boat in the future?" ”

Chu Yuan said, "Hmm." ”

……

The king of the southwest pinched his chin and calculated where to hide his private money in the future, otherwise he would make a basket to hang on the beams of the house.

There are still seven or eight days to go to Siam Yuanguo, according to the previous plan, Duan Baiyue and Shen Qianfeng will secretly send Jin Shu and the others back first, and then take the opportunity to test the attitude of the lord Wu Deng. But since Sikong Rui is here, there is no need to use it in vain, after all, he also ate a bowl of lo mein, and he should do some work.

Chu Yuan said: "You go with Sikong?" ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Although Lord Shen is the first in the world, Sikong is not weak, and it is more than enough to go to a Siam country." Moreover, he lives in the Nanyang area, is quite familiar with the customs and customs, and is proficient in the local language, so he is the most suitable candidate. ”

"It's fine." Chu Yuan patted his side face with one hand, "Be more careful yourself." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled, took his hand and kissed it on the lips.

"It's been so long since I've been at sea, and I haven't heard from Master Nan." Chu Yuan said again, "I don't even have a letter. ”

"This South China Sea is vast, and I don't know where it went." Duan Baiyue said, "But the Chu army is moving south with such a big move, no matter where the master is, he should come as much as possible." Otherwise, it's not like his temperament. ”

"Will it be back in the grave?" Chu Yuan was a little worried.

Duan Baiyue shook her head: "He can't even look down on the graves elsewhere, and if that's the case, he should write a letter to me and Yao'er." is so silent, it's better to say where to play crazy, so I can't think about it, and I forget that there are two apprentices at home. ”

Chu Yuan withdrew his hand and said, "Look at what you said with a relaxed face." ”

"That's it, Master, he won't have an accident." Duan Baiyue said casually, "The fortune teller said that he would live to be at least five hundred years old. ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

Why is it that everything related to the Southwest Mansion sounds so unreliable.

The overseas immortal mountain was covered with white mist, and Nanmo squatted on the stone table and said, "It's not enough." ”

"That's not enough?" A white-bearded old man on the opposite side glared, "You old immortal, don't you still want my grandson to be successful." ”

Nanmo said heretically: "It will be done." ”

"Ass." The white-bearded old man was furious and spat at him.

It didn't take long for the two to fight, and the chickens and dogs jumped in the courtyard. A little boy of five or six years old with pigtails sat on the threshold and watched the excitement.

A few days later, the Great Chu fleet arrived near Siam. The bustling port of the past has long been closed, and the army patrols back and forth, completely cutting off the islanders from the outside world, and looking at the situation, they are eager to build a fortress and enclose the whole country.

Sikong Rui said: "Are you sure that the master of this island is still Wu Deng, and not that he has been captured by Chu Xiang?" ”

"Not at all." Duan Baiyue said, "Otherwise, there is no need to close the pass, now that it is like this, it is just a matter of seeking neutrality and self-protection, so as not to be affected by the war." ”

"According to Wu Deng's character, he really won't be co-opted lightly." Jin Shu also said, "Siam Yuan Country has been peaceful for nearly a hundred years, and there is no reason to be dragged into the water because of a Chu Xiang." ”

"Let's go, then." Sikong Rui inserted the jade flute into his waist, "The two sides change shifts, the timing is just right." ”

Duan Baiyue took Kunda first, jumped up with him, and hid in the darkness by the way.

Sikong Rui was dumbfounded.

Before leaving, he clearly said that he would keep the man to himself.

What is carelessness in making friends, this person's words should not be believed.

Very bloody and tearful.

The Chu army had crossed the sea line, and the islanders were so anxious that they hid in their houses to preach as soon as it was dark, so the streets were quiet. Even the Kun family's mansion, which is brightly lit on weekdays, is silent at this time.

The four of them landed in the hospital safely.

There was a slight light in the study, and when I looked through the gap in the window, I saw an old man sitting at the table, with a pot of cold tea in front of him, sighing, it was Kun Da's father, Kun Shan.

"Let's go inside." Duan Baiyue said, "I'm here with Sikong. ”

"Thank you, King Southwest." Kunda took Jin Shu's hand and pushed open the door of the study with some impatience.

"......" saw the two of them come in, Kun Shan was shocked at first, and then he stepped forward with a lamp, trying to see if the person who came was a human being, or if he was hallucinating because of his excessive thoughts.

"Father." Kunda wept with joy, shook his hand and said, "My son is back." ”

Outside the window, Duan Baiyue said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Sikong Rui said, "Please." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Tossing and turning, weeping and dawning." ”

Sikong Rui wanted to vomit blood: "I didn't say anything, just gossip, and asked some things that happened." ”

While the two were talking, Kun Shan had already learned about the matter from Kun Da's mouth, so he personally went out and welcomed the two into the study.

As everyone had predicted, in the duel between Chu Yuan and Chu Xiang, Wu Deng stood neutral without even thinking about it. Hoarding food and closing the country, ready to wait for this battle to be fought and then see which direction the wind will blow.

"Chu Xiang sent someone to woo Wu Deng, and after being rejected, he just left?" Duan Baiyue was a little skeptical.

"Naturally not, it was quite stiff at the time." Kunshan said, "Before leaving, the envoy of the other party also put down big words, saying that he should let the lord of the country be careful. Sure enough, something almost happened last night. ”

"Last night?" Duan Baiyue said, "What happened last night?" ”

"There is a group of people who break into the palace and kill everyone they want, and their martial arts are extremely strong." Kun Shan said, "Even the guards around the lord of the country are not their opponents, but fortunately, the master helped and escaped the catastrophe." ”

"Where is the master?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"Guanhai City, Xiaoye Temple." Kunshan said, "The abbot's name is Miaoxin, and he has a very personal relationship with the lord of the country, so as soon as he heard that the South Seas were unstable, he led the monks to sail by boat, and has lived in the palace for several months. ”

Duan Baiyue was a little surprised. When Chu Yuan mentioned this temple before, he didn't take it too seriously, and then the army arrived in Guanhai City, and the Xiaoye Temple was already covered with cobwebs, and I heard from the people that Miaoxin took the monk to the sea and didn't come back yet, and this matter was over, but he didn't expect to meet it here.

"Thank you King Southwest for sending my son and daughter-in-law back." Kun Shan said, "It's just that I'm a businessman, and I can't repay my kindness, so I can only secretly donate some gold and silver to Da Chu, looking forward to an early victory." ”

Duan Baiyue shook her head: "There is no need for gold and silver, although Master Kun has a lot of wealth, he is also diligent and earnest." If you really want to say thank you, why don't you introduce this king to see the lord of the country? ”

"This ......," Kun Shan hesitated.

Duan Baiyue said: "If the country is calm, it's fine." But now Chu Xiang is obviously not going to give up, not to eradicate the problem, only relying on the monks of Xiaoye Temple, I am afraid that it will not be a long-term solution. ”

"The king of the southwest said the same." Kun Shan stood up, "Those two sit down for a while, and I'll go to the palace to spread the word." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Thank you." ”

After he left, Kun Da said: "With all due respect, the lord of the country has always been cautious, even if he was assassinated last night, I am afraid that at most he will add a few more lines of defense around the palace, and it is unlikely that he will unite with him to fight against Chu Xiang." ”

"There is no shortage of thousands of sailors in Dachu from Siam." Duan Baiyue smiled, "Is he willing to help the emperor and not mention it for the time being, but if he is timid and afraid, it is not impossible that he will be threatened by Chu Xiang in the future." This time, I don't want Wu Deng to form an alliance with Da Chu, but at least let him remember one thing, if he has a relationship with Chu Xiang, whether he is willing or not, the consequence is only death. ”

Kunda was silent when he heard this, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Jin Shu beside him. He has always disliked Duan Baiyue because of his wife. But he really can't compare to Duan Baiyue, his identity, temperament, martial arts, and wealth can only be subordinated to everything. Fang Cai's words, there was not much murderous intent in the other party's tone, and he even spoke extremely casually, but he still had a strong sense of oppression, as if he was born so evil and domineering.

Jin Shu held his hand and smiled lightly: "I'm going to cook you a bowl of sweet soup?" ”

Kunda nodded: "Okay." ”

Jin Shu got up to leave, Sikong Rui stepped on Duan Baiyue under the table, and he didn't know how to restrain his edge when he spoke, and the brothers didn't have sweet soup to eat.

About an hour later, there was the sound of footsteps outside the house, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

"The King of the Southwest has been waiting for a long time." Kunshan pushed open the door, shook off the rain on his shoulders, and turned sideways to invite the people behind him in.

The middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume thought that he was the lord of the country, Wu Deng. And another bald monk, eighty percent is the wonderful abbot of the Xiaoye Temple.

Duan Baiyue smiled calmly. He has not seen many monks, Shaolin Temple is the most familiar, and the rest are all You Fang masters who are everywhere on the street, some have white hair, some are thin and thin, and there are also those with big bellies, but there is no monk like the one in front of him, under the sword eyebrows is a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, red lips and white teeth, looking handsome and abnormal. The body is long, a gray cloth monk's robe is also worn out of the posture of a fairy, holding a string of prayer beads, five fingers as thin as white jade, really like a person walking out of the painting.

Thinking that this person had lived in the palace for a long time, and often took Chu Yuan to avoid the secret guards of the Southwest Mansion together, and he didn't know what he was discussing, the smile of the King of the Southwest suddenly became more and more kind.

"Your Excellency is the King of the Southwest?" Wu Deng saluted.

"Lord of the Kingdom." Duan Baiyue came back to her senses, "I took the liberty of visiting late at night, and I was disturbed, so don't blame it." ”

Wu Deng waved his hand again and again: "The king of the southwest is serious, the emperor of Chu is driving in person, and the little king should have opened the door to greet him, but ...... Alas. ”

"The lord of the country does not have to blame himself." Miao Xin said on the side, "The Chu Emperor is kind-hearted, and he will not blame the lord of the country." ”

Sikong Rui was puzzled: "Listening to this tone, the master knows the emperor?" ”

"A few years ago, the little monk lived in the palace for a while." Miao Xin said, "Treat the nightmare disease for Emperor Chu in the dormitory." ”

"I see." Sikong Rui smiled and pinched Duan Baiyue behind him. Sounds very close, and this stubble? Turn the vinegar jar over.

"Xiao Wang knows the purpose of the Southwest King's trip." Wu Deng said briskly, "Please tell the Emperor of Chu that although the Siamese Yuan Kingdom is unable to fight, it can still hold its ground." If the thieves come to force each other again, Ning will use the strength of the country to resist desperately, and he will never be coerced and used by him to become enemies of Da Chu. ”

"With this promise from the lord of the country, it is enough." Duan Baiyue smiled, "After the great victory, there will be new trade terms between Dachu and Siam Yuanguo, Baixiang Country, and dozens or hundreds of island countries in the South Seas. ”

"That's very good." Seeing that Duan Baiyue didn't seem to be planning to force himself to join the battle, Wu Deng also breathed a sigh of relief. So he said with a smile, "Xiao Wang also prepared some light gifts, so I asked the King of the Southwest and Master Miaoxin to transfer them to the Chu Emperor together." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

A transfer?

Miaoxin said: "The monks of Xiaoye Temple are also the people of Great Chu, and they should fight for the country. ”

"Ahem." At the critical moment, Sikong Rui still thought about brotherhood a little, after all, he had also copied the love letter for himself at the beginning, so he said sincerely, "The master is still merciful, stay in this Siamese country to protect the lord." ”

"No, no." Wu Deng waved his hand again and again, "I can't help, how can I be cheeky and keep the master in the palace." ”

Miaoxin said: "The rest of the monks of Xiaoye Temple will stay in the palace to protect the lord." ”

Sikong Rui looked at Duan Baiyue with a smile like a flower, are you still stopping? At least one word to the brethren.

Kunda reminded: "It's almost dawn, I'm afraid you have to hurry up." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "In this case, then we will leave first, thank you for your help, please." ”

"Well said." Miaoxin folded her hands and was slightly rude, turned around and walked out of the room.

In the Great Chu battle fleet, Ye Jin was squatting on the deck, breaking a coconut shell vigorously, wanting to take advantage of the dawn to collect some moon dew for medicine.

Shen Qianfeng was on the side to help him.

Ye Jin hugged a coconut shell and asked, "Look, does it look like a bald head?" ”

Shen Qianfeng: "......"

Ye Jin picked up another one and said sternly: "Two bald heads." ”

Shen Qianfeng couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out to pinch his cheek.
