Early in the morning, Liu Mingyan had just finished eating breakfast and rinsing her mouth.

She thought that she should go around the cave from today onwards, and by the way, she would also visit several of the smelting workshops on the island of the Baotai Bureau. Qingzhou prefect Wang Weishou is Zhao Wuyin's person, it is definitely inconvenient for him to stare at himself by his side, it is better to travel lightly and touch the bottom first when he is not paying attention.

Thinking so in his heart, he went to the silver armor and white robe, changed into an azure martial arts training uniform, tight-fitting and waist-tight, light and steady. He also summoned a few henchmen and guards on the left and right, and they also went to heavy armor, and ordered them to follow behind and not to attract people's attention.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the camp, a soldier came to report that there was a soldier from the dock garrison, saying that there was a report about the search for the portrait.

Liu Mingyan was the most impatient with this kind of extraneous branches, but the saint who was looking for people was in his body, so he had to sit down first.

In a few moments, the soldiers of the garrison hurried in. Liu Mingyan saw that the soldier was very obscene, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, and said sharply: "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly." ”

Where had the soldier seen such a scene, he was timid and small, and stammered, "Little ...... When the villain heard about it, he said that you are looking for someone. ”

"What? Have you ever seen the person in the portrait? ”

The soldier shook his head in horror.

"Didn't see what you said? Will it not delay the king's work? Liu Mingyan shouted.

The soldier was so frightened that he began to kowtow, and said as he kowtowed, "Although the villain has never seen the person above, he did encounter a strange thing a few days ago. ”

"Say!"

"On the passenger ship from Taiye City to Nanhua Island, the villain found a girl, and the villain came forward to check, and the girl actually ...... Actually took out a gold medal with three feathers! ”

"Is that true?" Liu Mingyan immediately stood up when she heard this.

"It's true...... Although the girl looked a little stumbling, she was dressed in a rich and noble appearance. After the soldier finished speaking, he quietly raised his head and glanced at Liu Mingyan.

Liu Mingyan frowned and thought for a while, then took out a token from the pocket of her waist and handed it over.

"You see it, but this token?"

The soldier only looked at it, and then replied: "That's right, that's it, three gold medals." ”

Liu Mingyan raised her eyebrows: "You have to see clearly, whether it is or not, if you talk nonsense, I will not spare you." ”

When the soldier saw Liu Mingyan put down his cruel words, he was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Rong ...... Let the villain take another look. ”

After looking at it for a while, the more I looked at it, the more hesitant I became.

"How? Is it or not? ”

"Villain...... At first glance, I think it is, but when I look closely, I think it's a little different. The soldier's face was shaking, and his voice trembled.

"What's the difference?"

"The villain remembers...... I remember that the girl's gold medal only had three feather patterns, and there was no lace in this circle. ”

Liu Mingyan was shocked in her heart, it was really Zhu Zhitong!

Although the gold medal in her hand is also three, it is still different from the gold medal held by the royal family in Yongjinmen. The people of the clan, the emblems used are all without tattoos, and such three gold medals are only held by the Ming Emperor, Yinquan and the three princesses today, and now there is only Zhu Zhitong who may appear on Nanhua Island.

Liu Mingyan glanced at the soldier: "Get up and speak." ”

The soldier stood up as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Let me ask you, where has the girl gone?"

"No...... I don't know. Seeing that Liu Mingyan was about to be angry again, the soldier hurriedly shouted: "But, but that girl came to the dock to find the villain again." ”

"What? You said it was the girl who won the gold medal the other day? ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Why didn't you say it earlier! Where is she? ”

She asked me to bring a message to the prince, and she said that she still wanted to play for a few days, and asked the prince not to look for her. She also said that as long as she brought the words, the prince would definitely reward the villain. The soldier looked at Liu Mingyan at a loss, he couldn't figure out what this little girl was about, but seeing that she had a gold medal in her hand, he wanted to try his luck.

When Liu Mingyan heard that Zhu Zhitong slipped away again under her nose, she sneered angrily: "Reward!" Naturally, I want to reward you! You just said that girl was ugly? You can tell the beauty from the girl on the dock, right? You don't see it less on weekdays, right? Come on, reward him with fifty horsewhips, and after the reward, throw me into the mine to mine! ”

The general beside him whispered: "Lord Wang, this soldier is from the Golden Feather Battalion...... ...... with our Baisha camp"

"So what! I disciplined such scum for Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyu. ”

The general will no longer dare to squeak.

Liu Mingyan shouted again: "Come on, send someone to the dock immediately." Hold the shore and check the people who pass by one by one! Those who are suspicious and of a similar age will be detained, regardless of their appearance. ”

The soldiers had just been ordered to go, and Liu Mingyan thought it was wrong.

This little girl is notoriously eccentric, and she knows the art of the five elements, she came to report the news like this, obviously she wants to divert the tiger from the mountain. Since the pier is on the east side of Nanhua Island, it is very likely that she will slip to the west, thinking of this, she exclaimed again:

"You guys, go to the northern part of the island and search carefully, and you guys, go to the south, and search carefully. The rest of you, come with me to the west! ”

With that, he left the soldiers who had been paralyzed into mud on the ground and strode out of the camp.

Little girl, east, west, north and south, I'll see where you run. Liu Mingyan left the camp, stepped on Yu Linglong, and was just about to leave the camp, when she saw Wang Weishou coming to the camp with a few people from a distance.

This Wang Weishou, with such sharp legs and feet, must have been explained by Zhao Wuyin, and he refused to stare at me for even a moment.

Liu Mingyan pulled the reins in her left hand, turned the horse's head, whipped the whip in her right hand, and stepped away. Several of his own soldiers also rode their horses and whips to chase after them, lifting up the dust of the boss for a while, and all of them slammed Wang Weishou in the face.

In a short time, the fast horses were on the west bank. Liu Mingyan frowned and looked at the desolation of the place, and asked, "What kind of place is this, how is it gloomy." ”

The general hurriedly said: "This was originally a Wen house, and the last time the house was blown up, the people inside were also killed, presumably there are a lot of lonely ghosts, so eerie." ”

Liu Mingyan suddenly realized that the ruins of this place were the ruins of Wen's house! Looking at this ruin stretching from the west bank to the south bank, I really don't know how luxurious this Wen Mansion must have been in the first place. At this time, the general suddenly shouted: "Lord Wang! Look over there! ”

Liu Mingyan looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a woman's figure vaguely on the shore, so she couldn't help but feel happy and hurried a few steps forward.

The man seemed to be too busy fiddling with something on the shore to be unaware of their arrival. Liu Mingyan stepped up and continued to walk forward, and the more she looked, the clearer she looked, it was clearly a little girl in a white shirt, trying to push a small boat into the sea.

That figure, that outfit, who is it not Zhu Zhitong?

Liu Mingyan smiled secretly in her heart, can such a little girl escape from me? He said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness! I'm here to take you back! ”

When the little girl heard Liu Mingyan shouting, not only did she stop, but she pushed the boat harder and harder.

Liu Mingyan waved her hand, and immediately rushed over with a few other guards, but she was still a step too slow, and the little girl had already gotten into the boat and rowed out.

The general looked around and pointed to the left: "There!" There's a boat there! When the others looked at it, there were still a few small boats moored on the shore.

Seeing this, Liu Mingyan hurriedly rushed over and commanded: "You two get on the same boat and copy it from the left, let's get on the boat and stop her from the right!" While getting on the boat, he muttered hatefully: "Little girl, play tricks with me, I don't believe I can't hold you anymore." ”

The soldiers of the two boats rowed forward vigorously, although the strength was not small, but there were many soldiers, and they were all big men, and they were not as light as Zhu Zhitong in the distance, and they rowed far away with only a slight oar.

Liu Mingyan was a little anxious, put her hands together and shouted, "Your Highness, come back quickly!" There are delicious snacks there! Your Highness must be hungry! ”

The soldiers on the ship laughed secretly in their stomachs: This Governor Liu has nothing to say about leading his troops to fight, but he is really not good at coaxing children. It's not a three-year-old child, and it would be hellish to hear that you can turn back to the bow of the boat.

I saw that on the boat in the distance, the little girl suddenly stood up, jumped into the sea with a pop, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This time Liu Mingyan was bluffed, and he was panicking and urging the guards to go into the water to save him, but he faintly felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, someone on the shore shouted: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang! Come back quickly, the man has been found! ”

What the? Got it? What was it that just fell into the water?

Liu Mingyan woke up and scolded secretly, this is the way to turn the tiger away from the mountain.

She beckoned and ordered the guards to row back to the shore, and the soldiers standing on the shore were not the soldiers who had been sent to the north and south shores before, but the commander of the Kuntou ship.

"Lord Wang, something is wrong! Suddenly, eighteen serpentine ships swaggered past the Kuntou ship. ”

"What? Could it be a pirate? ”

"It doesn't look like it, it's like the ships we pursued a few days ago."

"Then why don't you do it? Just watch them pass? Liu Mingyan was really angry.

"But...... Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyang was on the ship, and she shouted for me to wait for the release, and said that she would go back to Taiye City after she found the person she was looking for, and she didn't have to worry about it. ”

"Bastard!" As soon as Liu Mingyan spoke, she felt that it was inappropriate, and pointed at the commander and scolded: "I'm talking about you bastard!" You believe what she says? What if it's fake? ”

yes, what if it's fake? Didn't you just jump into the sea with a fake one?

Liu Mingyan was frustrated that she had just been fooled, and it was hard to say it clearly, and all her anger was sprinkled on the leader's head.

Her Royal Highness ordered this to be shot ashore with a bow and arrow, and the villain watched...... It doesn't look like a fake. The commander said, taking out a gold medal, it was three feathers, boundless.

Liu Mingyan was really about to faint in anger, but she was still unwilling, and scolded: "Confused things!" Didn't you say that there were eighteen ships? You should at least detain one or two of the ships that the princess is not here! If they are all gone, how can we find out where they are going? ”

The commander looked aggrieved and said, "The last general also thinks so, but ...... But on every ship stood a princess...... There are eighteen princesses in total! ”

"What?" Liu Mingyan suddenly felt that her brain was a little insufficient.

"This matter is absolutely true, all the officers and men on the Kuntou ship can see it clearly, they are dressed the same, their faces are similar, and they are on every ship! The last general wants to start his cannon, but he doesn't know which ship to aim for......" "This...... What kind of witchcraft is this? Liu Mingyan froze, "Yes...... Disfigurement, it must be disguise! The disguise technique was originally a trick in the Five Elements Technique, I only heard that she was slightly familiar with these side ways, but I didn't expect to be so proficient! ”

He asked sharply, "How long have they been gone?" ”

The last general did not dare to delay, and they rushed to report it just after half the hour. First went to the camp and met the prefect Wang Weishou, who said that he had heard that the prince had come to the West Bank......"

Liu Mingyan roared: "This son, don't talk to me about anything Wang Weishou!" Hurry, immediately, come back with me immediately, and anchor! Chase them! ”

At this time, the general whispered on the side: "No, I can't catch up...... Rajah. ”

"How could it not be?"

"Our ship is full of ......," the general suddenly lowered his voice.

Gold ingots!

Liu Mingyan suddenly remembered, this breath choked on her chest, and she really wanted to find someone to whip it immediately.

Wang Weishou has been loading gold ingots on the Kuntou ship since yesterday, and when he reported back in the morning, he said that the hull of the ship had sunk more than seven zhang, and dragging this weight to pursue it was equivalent to dragging half an anchor while sailing.

"Then chase it too!" Liu Mingyan still has a ruthlessness in her bones.

At this time, a person in the distance was panting and shouting while running: "Lord Wang! The prince can't! ”

It was Wang Weishou.

Liu Mingyan saw that he was holding his belt in one hand and his official hat in the other, and the four finches on the top were already crooked, like a bald feather duster with a bald feather in the back of his head, embarrassed.

"Lord Wang...... The prince can't, the cargo on the ship is very important, and the route must not be changed temporarily...... If His Royal Highness the Prison Country knows about this, it will be a big incident......"

Liu Mingyan actually didn't care about Wang Weishou's plea at all, but she was thinking about something else.

The Kuntou ship is huge, and against eighteen ships, it is not a problem. But dragging a heavy gold ingot, whether it is turning the head or pursuing, it will move slowly and lose the upper hand, once it is besieged by the strange serpentine ship with guerrilla tactics, even if the tiger head ship in the ship is released to fight against it, it is difficult to guarantee that the mothership will not be damaged. The gold ingots were so heavy that any damage to the hull would throw the weight of the hull out of balance, and it would be unimaginable. What's more, if the pursuit and battle, this matter will inevitably be known to the Ming Emperor, and it will be difficult to keep the secret of smuggling gold ingots with Zhu Zhiling at that time.

Which is better or worse, just this moment of hard work, Liu Mingyan has already made up her mind in her heart.

She glanced at Wang Weishou, who was squatting on the ground and still panting, and changed her angry face, changed her smile and said, "What Lord Wang said is very true. The stakes are high and should not be taken lightly. Then please ask Lord Wang to play what happened today as it is, and say that it is not that I, Liu Mingyan, am not looking for people effectively, but I really dare not bear the things entrusted by His Highness, and I hope His Highness will understand. ”

Wang Weishou saw that she suddenly changed her sex, and she was not as arrogant as before, and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a while, but since she was willing to stay in Nanhua Island honestly to transport gold ingots, it was the top priority. As for whether I can find the will of Princess Qingyang, it wasn't passed on to me anyway, so what does it have to do with me?

So, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is it, how can the lowly position be thoughtful as the prince." The humble duty must be truthfully reported, please rest assured. After saying that, he didn't want to stay with Liu Mingyan for a moment, so he left in a hurry, for fear of eating another hoof ash.

On the southwest waterway of Nanhua Island, more than a dozen slender ships are moving forward at a rapid pace. On the lead ship, the bow of the human-faced snake body is like shining in the sun, which is very conspicuous.

On the deck, there were a man and a woman, it was Qiu Yueshi and Zhu Zhitong. The two looked at the Kuntou ship that was getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

"Your idea is really good, lure Liu Mingyan around the island."

Zhu Zhitong also smiled: "Your idea is not bad, I didn't expect your disguise technique to be so exquisite, I was stunned myself." ”

"The disguise technique is the secret technique of our Liuxia Kingdom's Five Elements Technique, but it is usually only one person, like today, it is the same as the seventeen people, and it is the first time for me."

"It's not seventeen, it's nineteen, you're miscalculated."

"Oh, yes, and Ato and Aoi, one went to the east to find the soldier you said, and the other went to the west to row, and they also made a great contribution."

"But will they be able to catch up?" Zhu Zhitong was a little worried.

"You don't have to think about this, they still have these skills." Qiu Yue smiled. "Speaking of which, you just yelled at them that you would go back if you found someone, and you just wanted me to help you find the person? What's his name? ”

Zhu Zhitong nodded lightly, watched the seagulls flying high and low in the distance, and read rather melancholy:

"His surname is Su, and his name is Su Xiaochen. The dawn of dawn, the dust of red dust. ”

Before dawn dawned, the white moon was still hanging, and the old things were clouded with dust and doubts.

The fourteen volumes of "Yun Shen Doesn't Know Where" ended today, turning another page of Shenzhou's history. Tomorrow, the fifteenth volume of "The Old Things Will Be Covered with New Dust" will be serialized, and you will continue to tell unexpected stories.
