Ji Jiu was suddenly silent, and it took several seconds before he asked him in his usual hoarse voice: "

How so?

"I was so nervous that my fists clenched!

I had a hunch that the next conversation would unravel some of the mysteries in my mind.

After the ship's silence, he said in a low voice: "It's only been a few years since I returned to Xunyang. ”

I was stunned at the stern of the boat, what did he mean?

"Childe, have you heard about the empress's recent conscription in various parts of Sealand?"

The shipman asked.

I can almost imagine the expression on Ji Jiu's face at this moment, but, so decent, what did the other party do when it came to conscription?

"Judging by your reaction, I should have heard that the empress was recruiting troops in Sealand, and she went to all places, but the country was exempted."

The sound is as calm as water, but it doesn't sound like a wave.

"During the palace change, I heard that the empress had the protection of several ordinary people in the national capital to wait for reinforcements to arrive, so this time she started a war in the north and deliberately exempted the conscription order from the national capital."

"Who are you?"

Ji Jiu's voice finally changed, and it was no longer the usual flat tone before.

The boatman suddenly laughed, and the laughter fell to my ears at the stern of the boat, and it sounded a little bleak.

"Someone who should have died a long time ago."

As soon as these words came out, I was startled, and I couldn't help but take a step back, and I ran into a pile of debris resting on the stern of the boat, and the jingle bell made a crashing sound, and the movement was so loud.

It felt like a reminder to those two people to be careful when they spoke, and there was me in the stern!

A noise was heard, and the conversation broke out.

In the next second, Ji Jiu asked hurriedly: "

What's wrong, Kobayashi?

In just a few seconds, Ji Jiu turned back to the cabin.

Soon it was in front of me, and it was super fast.

Strangely, the boatman remained at the bow of the ship and did not follow.

When I saw Ji Jiu, I grabbed his arm in confusion and asked, "You guys just ...... What exactly did the shipman mean by what he said? "I said not to be nervous, it's a lie! I found a boat man who could ferry us to the national capital. If you have a grudge with Ji Jiu, maybe one day you will come to that one day while the moon is dark and the wind is high! I'm afraid he won't be able to think of a ...... My life is precious, and I don't want to feed the fish without knowing it. Ji Jiu glanced at me speechlessly and said, "Are you worried?" "Can you not be worried?" I lowered my voice and frowned, slowing my tone and saying, "That boatman, you'd better make it clear to him. ”

I looked out and continued, "There are more boats on the docks. I've never been harmless, but I can't follow you as a substitute for death. "Girl," the boatman didn't know when he came out, standing behind Ji Jiu. A call made me stunned and stared at him with wide eyes. "Rest assured. It's been a thing of the past for a long time, but when I saw this son, I remembered some unpleasant things, you can rest assured that I will take my boat, I won't do anything to you. The boatman sighed softly and said, "Speaking of which, he is also a victim, and when I saw you come to the river to talk about the money for the boat, I almost didn't recognize him." "It's been a long wait. I just ......" As soon as he said this, his eyes turned around Ji Jiu's body, and the most eye-catching thing was the half-white hair. In fact, no matter where you are, there are people who have the opportunity to see young whiteheads, but there are relatively few people. But Ji Jiu, whether from his face or body shape, has a "sick aura", this unspeakable ailment can be found even by a stranger. Suddenly. I was a little curious about what Ji Jiu looked like a few years ago, and I remembered what happened to me in the East Courtyard. His mind drifted away in an instant. It seems a little unreasonable to wander at such a moment, because the shipman is standing right in front of me. I said a few more words, but I turned my head and focused on my affairs, and I didn't even hear them very clearly. Ji Jiu glanced at me speechlessly again, turned to the boat and said, "When I get to the national capital, I will talk to you ashore, she is my friend, it is inconvenient to talk here." "Isn't it your wife?" The boatman interjected, and his gaze swept over Ji Jiudao, "It seems that you two are still a bit husband and wife." "What is this? It's just that it looks a little bit like it, okay! No matter how good my temperament is, I can't bear it, so I said loudly: "You are very idle, do you help people mess up the mandarin duck score, he said that he is a friend, just a friend!" Ji Jiu looked at him with an unkind gaze and said with a gloomy face: "Since you left a life a few years ago, you should know the truth that disaster comes from your mouth." "I'm sorry, I was rude," the shipwreck apologized to me, and his gaze turned back to Ji Jiu's body, "I thought you had been away for a few years and brought a young girl with you, and I saw you being so nervous about her just now, so I ......" He tilted his head and thought for a while, "You went ashore with me, wasn't the rouge gouache you bought in the shore shop for this girl?" Ji Jiuyi was speechless. Listening to the boatman's words, I couldn't help but ask him, "Where did you see it?" "I asked myself, although the disfigurement medicine is missing a few flavors, but I have also deceived more than n people on the road, including the pair of living treasures, walking in Xunyang City, I am also at ease." Xiao Lin," Ji Jiu reminded me, "he is from the palace. "Here he omitted a bunch of words." Eunuch?! "I couldn't help it, maybe I did it on purpose, when I saw that the person next to him turned pale, I finally got angry and avenged his nonsense just now!" Sorry, I was rude. "I painted the gourd in the same way, and returned it to him as it was, not forgetting to mend the knife. I let out a sullen breath, and I was finally in a good mood! The atmosphere was a little dull and a little weird, and from my point of view, the corners of Ji Jiu's mouth moved, and I knew that guy was holding back a smile. Nonsense! I can just give people that mess around, I look like a bully?! Other things are fine, but this kind of problem, I will not tolerate it, no! "Ji Jiu," I shouted generously, and the shipman's expression was a little subtle. "If you don't change the boat, I feel a little embarrassed." I don't shy away from it, and I say bluntly to these two people, I can ignore your past. But my safety in the capital still needs to be guaranteed. Also, I don't want to have a bad night's sleep, do I?! …… The boats went straight to the north, and from time to time there were boats passing on both sides of the wide river, and they were all large boats. I saw only a few boats on the river on the side of Xunyang, and I arrived at the open river. I realized that the waterways in the capital are also very busy, and stopping at the riverside pier in the town confirmed my thoughts. There is a benefit that is expected! There were very few inventory of the waterways, and we didn't even encounter them. Since the conversation at the wharf along the river, the shipman and Ji Jiu don't know what agreement they have reached when they go ashore, in short. I couldn't change to a boat, and I still kept it the same way according to Ji Jiu's wishes. The boatman also fell silent, as if the conversation on the edge of the wharf town along the river was my delusion. However, I discovered something that was beyond my cognition, and I said in an almost inaudible voice to Ji Jiu at the bow of the ship, "Why is that eunuch different from what I imagined." "What do you imagine it to be?" Ji Jiu asked me. He spoke softly. The face is white and thin. "I tried to recall the image of the eunuch in my old impression. Actually, I still want to say, if you put him in the Sealand Palace with me, I will still be more like a eunuch, okay?! "There's something like that." Ji Jiu lowered his head and replied to me. Since that conversation, Ji Jiu has also changed, as if echoing the silence of that person, and he has become like gold. Out of boredom, I moved the tub to the bow of the boat and sat there. Feed my red carp and follow the boat with him. When I arrived in the capital, I planned to release it. The fish and I are looking forward to it! The long-awaited fabled capital of Sealand finally arrived in the early morning in a drizzling rain, and the boats docked at a simple pier outside the capital. It's polite to say that it is a wharf, because it is just a place for local people who live by the water to park a few small fishing boats. The boat docked, which is already the boundary of the national capital, but the land route still has to be walked. Our location. It is a place on the outskirts of the national capital...... The inventory at the city gate is routine, and I follow Ji Jiu. And the "eunuch" shipman who sent us went into the city together, much smoother than I expected. At the feet of the Son of Heaven. Sure enough, it was different, plus I had been floating in the wild for a few days before, and suddenly saw the magnificent national capital, and I couldn't help but marvel in my heart. The memories of Snowpiercer are a little distant, but the rest of the places I've been to haven't been able to match the Sealand for the time being, and the feeling is very similar to my imagination of a very prestigious and prosperous era in the history of civilization before I traveled back. I briefly asked Ji Jiu about the situation in the national capital, especially about the layout of the entire city, and when I heard those familiar names, this feeling became even stronger. The three of us, dusty and dusty, walking in the streets of the capital city with fresh clothes and angry horses, and the flow of people, my eyes are always looking at beautiful women! There have never been so many beautiful women in front of me, it's a feast for the eyes, but the beauties have reciprocated me with extremely unfriendly eyes, who made me now wear a disguise, a haggard and sallow face, and wear clothes of poor texture. In the eyes of the beauties, I am like a lewd boy in the country, coveting their beauty! In fact, women also love to look at beautiful women, so do you need to say it? In other words, the beautiful women in the national capital are really good, full of femininity, coupled with the characteristics of Sealand, women are in charge, and they are originally boba like clouds when they walk on the street, with confidence and pride, and their breasts are even higher! Ji Jiu only cared about walking with his head down, and only occasionally glanced up at the streets of the national capital, and his eyes never fell on those tall or short or fat or thin beauties, as if he was passing by a pumpkin. Belch...... If there's a pumpkin that can walk! The other is that because of some suffering, he is also indifferent to the beauties around him, or there is a possibility that he has seen the most beautiful beauty or beautiful man in the palace, and he is really not interested in the street. I've seen enough of the beauties in the national capital, so the question is, where is the foothold of our station, where is the plan?
