CHAPTER XXXIX

Xia Jingyu stayed in Beijing for a few days, Zhang Zeyuan sent someone to send her a letter, telling her that if she wanted to stay in Beijing in the future, he could help arrange it, Xia Jingyu folded the letter and put it away, and told the palace maid who came to deliver the letter,

"You ask him to prepare me some food and fresh water, the more the better."

The palace maid was taken aback by the casual attitude of the woman opposite to the emperor, after all, it is disrespectful to call the emperor like this, but this woman's identity seems to be extremely noble, and the father-in-law who sent her to do things is the old eunuch next to the emperor.

The palace maid turned around and told Xia Jingyu's request, within half a day, a large bucket of fresh water, and vegetables and fruits, chickens and ducks**, were sent over one by one, Xia Jingyu put these all into the cabin of the space, the small house has a fresh-keeping effect, and the food put in it can maintain the original state.

Xia Jingyu said to the visitor: "I want to go to the south." ”

The person who came to do things was very quick, and soon contacted the carriage and the guard, the driver was a veteran, and the guide was the boss of the dart bureau who often took this route, Xia Jingyu sat in the car safely, and the group was not in a hurry to get on the road, and it took two or three months to arrive at the seaside town.

The old man of the dart board is called the fifth beard, because he has a full beard, ranking fifth in the family, he often transports some exquisite utensils from the north on weekdays, and goes to the south in exchange for some rare things in the capital such as pearls, gems and spices, and is extremely familiar with the south.

The process of this dart, quite a surprise to the bearded old five, the person who came to him, the identity is almost the big man in the capital he needs to look up to, he thought he had committed something at first, was targeted by such a big man, I didn't expect the big man to let him dart, escort a person to the south, and specially emphasized that this person's status is noble, if there is a half-point difference, I am afraid it is difficult to protect his life, if he does well, he will definitely have great benefits in the future.

To the surprise of the bearded old five, this so-called noble figure was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, he guessed for a long time, and he couldn't guess the girl's identity, but when he saw that the girls were guarded by the Praetorian Guards in the palace, he was even more careful.

When he arrived at the beach, the bearded old man respectfully introduced the local customs to Xia Jingyu, but Xia Jingyu interrupted him lukewarmly and asked directly: "Do you know that someone went to sea to the opposite continent?" ”

The bearded old man was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Miss, don't you know, in the depths of this sea, the climate is ever-changing, even the oldest boatman does not dare to go to the deep sea at will, as for the statement of this distant continent, there are a few years when the sea is not calm, and a few fishing boats have been missing for a few years. ”

"Let's go check it out." Xia Jingyu was very disgusted by the deliberate flattery on the road of the bearded old man, and he couldn't stand a lot of what he said now.

Where did the bearded old man dare to take this risk, he looked at Xia Jingyu who was silent along the way, and thought that she was a deep boudoir who had read a lot of books, and after reading a few Zhiwei novels, he went out to take risks with his straight temperament, and hurriedly inquired with the guards who escorted him, and the guards only said that the orders from above, whatever this young lady ordered, he must spare no effort to carry them out.

In recent years, there have been many adventurous fishermen who have gone to the South Island to find wealth, some have never returned, some have returned with a lot of wealth, and they have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and some are disgraced, saying that the South Island is just a poor mountain island, and the island is poor.

Coincidentally, there happened to be a ship ready to go to the southern island in search of wealth.

The bearded old five has a wide range of connections, and soon got through the relationship and let the owner agree to take Xia Jingyu on the ship, this is a fleet, a total of five ships, each ship can accommodate a hundred people, the formation of the fleet is the son of a rich family, the name is Su Cheng.

The owner of the ship looked Xia Jingyu up and down, and his tone was ridiculous: "I said bearded old five, where did you get the yellow-haired little girl, and you spent such a lot of money to send her here." ”

The bearded old man's face turned white, he looked at Xia Jingyu's face, and saw that the other party did not show unhappiness, so he said with palpitations: "Entrusted by others, it's just to do things, where can we manage the affairs of the employer." ”

The owner of the ship traveled from south to north, and he was also a smart man, he knew that the bearded old man had some influence in the capital, since he said that the employer's affairs were something he couldn't manage, it seemed that this girl was not a simple identity. He took a special look at Xia Jingyu twice, his eyes were old and spicy, and he felt that although this girl was young, her eyes were a little indifferent to the world.

What a strange girl, he thought to himself, so he let Xia Jingyu get on the main ship and arranged a qiē.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a room with a slightly larger layout on the main ship, Su Cheng looked at the little guy with a smile: "You said that 'sea crossing' let a yellow-haired girl get on the boat?" Lost a place for a sailor? ”

The little guy nodded: "Yes, young master, do you need to call the sea to come over and ask him what is going on." ”

Su Cheng pondered for a moment and shook his head: "That's it, they are used to running around the rivers and lakes, which one of them is not to accept it when they see it, it must be someone else who has given him benefits." However, this person on the sea does have a set in the lead boat, and he is usually cautious, as long as he doesn't delay my affairs, he can toss as many people under them as he wants. ”

The little guy also sighed: "Young master, why do you bother, honestly go back and apologize to the master, there are no such things, you have to go to sea in a hurry, in case there is a ......" He realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly stopped his mouth and quickly apologized: "Young master, I didn't mean that." ”

Su Cheng was not angry, his expression was light: "If I really explain it here, it is my life, sometimes there must be in my life, why fight when there is no time in life." He took out a Buddhist scripture from his desk, flipped to a page, and began to read it.

The little guy couldn't, so he had to retreat.

At this moment, Xia Jingyu was lying in a simple room, enduring the shaking of the boat brought by the waves, this seemingly dangerous journey was not lethal to her, and the sacrifice of the blood that would have died at the beginning only made her sleep for thirty years.

Even if something really happened to the boat, she still had the space to carry her, and there were seeds and fields in the space, and when she finished eating the food stored in the cabin, it was estimated that what was planted in the field would grow.

It's just a long life, why do you feel so lonely and desolate, the sound of waves hitting the deck entered her mind, and she laughed silently.

This time, she was farther away from Chongsiqing, crossing life and death, and isolating the ocean.
