Zhu Zhitong seemed to see his concerns, and smiled and motioned for him to approach the center of the boat together. She first took out a copper stick from under the small table and inserted it into a copper lotus mouth in the center of the table, turning it into a stand. Then he pointed to the edges on either side of the waist, and saw a slender box on each side.

Su Xiaochen was pondering what kind of mystery would be in the box, Zhu Zhitong had reached out to open the box in his left hand, and pulled out a two-zhang long ink-colored strand belt from it, and took Fang Cai's copper stick holder in the middle of the strand to hold it, and inserted the end into the box on the edge of the boat in his right hand and tied it well, and then divided it forward and backward from the middle of the strand belt, and divided a tent like a big lantern.

Only then did Su Xiaochen see clearly that the strap was made of a tent, which was hidden in a box on the edge of the boat on weekdays, and could be pulled out to shelter from the wind and rain when it was used.

Zhu Zhitong looked smug again, "This is called the Mo Lan tent, which is made by mashing the mackerel swim bladder and drying it together, which is rainproof and sunproof, and it is extremely difficult to make, only I and my eldest sister have it on the boat." You can change your clothes here, the ink on the tent is so dense that you can't see the inside from the outside. ”

Su Xiaochen thought, it seems that all the strange things in this palace are here with you, and he secretly admired it in his heart. But he said, "If this dark tent is usually used in the sun, and you can't see the outside inside, won't it be boring?" ”

Zhu Zhitong took out another strand from the box in her right hand, but it was white.

"It's for sunny days, it's visible inside and out. Do you have any questions? ”

Su Xiaochen raised his hands with both hands, made an expression of defeat, and obediently got into the Mo Lan tent.

At the moment when Su Xiaochen changed his clothes, Zhu Zhitong had already gently swayed the oars and swung over several reeds. When Su Xiaochen came out of the Mo Lan tent, there was already a different scenery in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Where is this?" What a beautiful landscape! ”

"This is Taiying Island, which was originally used by my mother when dealing with government affairs, because now the eldest sister is in charge of the country, and my mother rarely comes, so my eldest sister is mostly here on weekdays." Zhu Zhitong pointed to a high platform standing in the surrounding palace in the distance and said, "That's Fuxingtai, and my eldest sister spends most of the day watching the music. ”

Su Xiaochen remembered that Zhu Zhiling was aggressive in the court that day, and took a deep breath.

This woman looks like a thunderbolt, unapproachable, and a person with powerful means. He inherited the throne one day, and the Bihai Kingdom must have a new atmosphere. I think that although the country is strong and the people are rich at the moment, the left and right Taishi are sick and dead, and there is no one under their knees. In the future, if the two countries have good relations, if they start fighting, how they can be invincible is really to think carefully.

Zhu Zhitong saw that his face was cloudy, but he couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while, but thought that the mention of the eldest sister made him a little uncomfortable, so he smiled and said: "Actually, my eldest sister is not so fierce." If you don't have bad intentions, she won't do anything to you. ”

Won't take me what? This makes people think she is very fierce! This sisterly affectionate words of protection really make people laugh and cry.

"I mean, you didn't say you were going to see that...... Old Yang? How did you get to your eldest sister? Su Xiaochen diverted the conversation.

"Oh, Lao Yang also lives on Taiying Island."

"Huh? Who is he, who lives in this palace? ”

"There is an inner lake in the middle of Taiying Island, which divides the island into two halves, north and south, and there are many palace towers on both sides. Since the eldest sister felt that it was a pity to be vacant, she asked the mother emperor to use the north side of the island for political affairs, and the south island was divided into a piece alone, called Mu'en Yuan. ”

"Muenin?"

"There are some princes of small countries in the neighborhood, or the children of the envoys of the Jiedu in the distant frontier, who have a precedent of being sent to the Taiye Kingdom to follow the rites and be taught. After the eldest sister was imprisoned, she said that living outside the city was easy to give birth to things, and it was not easy to restrain her, so she gathered in a place in Mu'en Courtyard. ”

Su Xiaochen secretly thought, where is this because he is afraid that it will not be easy to restrain him, and he is clearly keeping the children of the subject countries and various princes as protons in the city. This Taiying Island is surrounded by lakes and is heavily guarded. On the surface, it looks like the carved pavilion of the Qionglou is actually the best place to monitor them under your nose.

Zhu Zhiling is really thoughtful.

"So Lao Yang is also the prince of a small country?" As soon as Su Xiaochen's words came out, he felt that something was wrong, Lao Yang was from Imuran, how could he be a little prince.

"There are some people who live in the South Island, such as Lao Yang. Have you seen that Mo Daqiu in the court before? The eldest sister often asks him to do some things, and there is a Master Hao in Mo Daqiu's business hall, who is quite old, and Lao Yang is his nephew. ”

It turned out that Zhu Zhiling and Imulan had such a close relationship.

Su Xiaochen was shocked in his heart, remembering that he had analyzed the cause and effect of Princess Yinquan's robbery a few days and nights ago, and felt more and more that the connection between Bihai Kingdom and Imuran Country was not simple.

You must know that in the eyes of the people of the world in the past few decades, the situation of the blue sea joining forces to fight against Imulan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and almost no one doubts anything. But after the battle of poison gold, the war that seemed to have subsided turned from a conspiracy to a conspiracy, and now I think about it for no reason.

Imuran's army was greatly reduced, and after the death of the lord of the country, the throne was vacant, and the situation in the court was unstable. Bihai seems to be weak and weak, but in fact, it has a lot of money and good money, and in recent years, it has added troops and armor to the Golden Feather Battalion. Only Cangwu has been the same for decades, there has been no change, and there is no heart to be prepared for danger in times of peace. I always feel that there is not only the natural danger of the Hanjiang River, but also the blue sea country in front of the resistance, as long as you make good friends with the blue sea country, you can sit back and relax.

But what if one day, the Blue Sea Kingdom and the Imulan Kingdom suddenly join forces? Today's blue sea, there is no shortage of money and food in hand, and the fierce Golden Feather Battalion only claims to be guarding Gyeonggi, but in fact, I don't know how many people there are. It is said that the Hanjiang River is dangerous, and it is still useful to prevent the Cangwu Kingdom from invading the Bihai Kingdom, but what if the Bihai Kingdom attacks the Cangwu Kingdom in turn? There are many warships and ships in the Bihai Kingdom, if the Bihai Kingdom wants to cross the Hanjiang River, the Cangwu Kingdom can only watch them coming, right?

Su Xiaochen suddenly remembered the dozens of huge tiger-headed ships on the Hanjiang River, if they were full of Imulan's iron horsemen...... How can Cangwu resist it?

The natural risk of Hanjiang has never been the natural risk of Cangwu country, but the natural risk of Bihai country!

What seems to be a few decades of calm may really come to an end.

Su Xiaochen lowered his head and pondered this, the sweat on his forehead couldn't help but trickle down, and his heart beat wildly. Zhu Zhitong happened to turn the rudder and turned around to see it, and said that he was not used to some seasickness on the water. He took out a small bottle from his bosom and said, "This is the Qinglu pill, if you are dizzy, just take two pills." ”

Su Xiaochen took two of them as he said, and suddenly felt a coolness in his chest, and his restlessness was greatly reduced. He settled down and said with a smile: "The things in the blue sea are really delicious, even the medicine is sweet." Where did you just go? ”

Zhu Zhitong tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "Let's just say that Lao Yang is Master Hao's nephew, and then you start to get seasick." ”

Su Xiaochen thought to himself, it seems that Zhu Zhiling is not at ease with Mo Daqiu, and even a master's nephew has to be held in his hand as a hostage, so he asked: "That's your eldest sister who wants Lao Yang to live on the island?" ”

Zhu Zhitong shook her head and said: "That's not it, Master Hao said that he is old, and there are many accounts in the merchant hall, so he can't take care of this nephew, so he came to my eldest sister and asked if he could let his nephew live over, read some books and read some words by the way, and the eldest sister helped him with this." ”

Hey...... It was Lao Yang who wanted to live here, and Su Xiaochen was a little surprised.

He thought about it again, his heart moved, and he asked again: "I always hear you call him Lao Yang, how old is he?" ”

When Zhu Zhitong heard this, he laughed, "Actually, he is not old, he is about the same age as my eldest sister, but he is always old-fashioned, so I am used to calling him Lao Yang." He's an interesting guy, and he knows so much that you won't regret meeting him. ”

The two rowed for a while, turning into a shallow beach on Fangzhou. The grass on the shore is green, and a snow-white cobblestone paves a natural pier. Zhu Zhitong jumped to the shore and bolted the boat, while Su Xiaochen finally stepped on the ground, feeling a lot more relieved.

Zhu Zhitong didn't take the main road, but led Su Xiaochen around the grass for a while. When Su Xiaochen stood still and looked around, he found that he was already standing in a small courtyard, and it turned out that Zhu Zhitong had come in directly from the outside of the flower bed in the courtyard.

This princess is really out of the ordinary.

The courtyard is not big, but it is well designed. There are flower beds on three sides, which are scattered. The camphor trees on the side cover the outside and cannot see the inside of the courtyard, which is very private. There is a pavilion in the middle, behind the pavilion is an elegant thatched house, the thatched house is horizontally a little thin field, quite a bit of chrysanthemum east fence meaning.

The two of them walked through the pavilion and were about to approach the hut, when they heard the sound of the harp coming from the house. Zhu Zhitong made a grimace at Su Xiaochen and motioned for Lao Yang to be inside.

Su Xiaochen didn't understand music theory, and after listening to this for a while, he didn't feel how good he played. However, the timbre is moving, simple and rich, and you can feel that the piano is very valuable.

I didn't play it a few times, but I heard a snap, as if the strings were broken. A sigh came from the room: "I have no intention of shocking someone, and my heart has the world." Su Xiaochen felt a pang in his heart, but he didn't expect Lao Yang to be a worldly master who cared about the world, and couldn't help but be in awe.

At this time, a servant's complaining voice came from the house: "Young Master Yang, you have broken more than a dozen strings in the past half a day, and the person you are waiting for has not come yet?" ”

"The ancients had the beauty of wrestling the piano and thanking the bosom friend, and I am a broken string waiting for the bosom friend, isn't it elegant." The voice was a little smug.

The maidservant whispered, "You are elegant, but it is not you who change the strings anyway...... My hands hurt to death. ”

Su Xiaochen didn't feel it, it turned out to be such a master in the world. Seeing again, Zhu Zhitong was already holding her stomach and holding back her laughter.
