On the shore, Wang Weishou, the new prefect of Cheongju, had already led a group of people to wait by the dock, and saw that the huge figure of the Kuntou ship was even hidden from the sun, and everyone was shocked in their hearts. Suddenly, a white-robed and silver-armored female general stepped off the boat on a white horse, followed by two neat rows of cavalry of the Baisha Battalion, majestic.

Wang Weishou didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Wang Weishou, the prefect of Qingzhou, meet the king of Lijun." ”

Liu Mingyan didn't even get off the horse, and stopped at the trail: "Lord Wang is hard, I heard that there is a holy decree delivered?" ”

"Yes, yes, yesterday there was a holy decree from the Fuxing Platform in Taiye City, and the villain didn't dare to slack off, so he sent someone to deliver a letter to the Kuntou ship overnight."

"Where?"

Wang Weishou couldn't help but be angry when he saw that Liu Mingyan was still unmoving, and he didn't have the slightest intention of getting off the horse. Everyone knows that the real owner of this Nanhua Island is the household department, and I am here by order, so you are too arrogant to put on such a show today.

But he didn't dare to show the slightest anger on his face.

"Because it is a secret decree, I also hope that the king of Lijun can move to the pergola in front of him."

Seeing his humble attitude, Liu Mingyan felt that Ma Wei was almost the same, so she sighed and drove her horse to the pergola first. The two teams of cavalry behind him also immediately followed, and the horse's hooves kicked up a puff of dust, all of which slammed Wang Weishou's face.

In the pergola, Wang Weishouping retreated left and right, and Liu Mingyan sat on a Taishi chair steadily.

"But you want to kneel down and take orders?" There is something lazy in the charming voice.

"No, no, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Prison Kingdom said, just hand over the things to you, you naturally understand." Wang Weishou said solemnly and took out an old envelope.

Liu Mingyan recognized the envelope she had sent at a glance, and immediately took it without knowing it, opened the envelope and saw that a gold ingot had turned into a half ingot, and she was relieved.

She resealed the envelope and nodded, "I understand what Your Highness means, I don't know what else to say?" ”

With her understanding of Zhu Zhiling, she will not share this Nanhua Island with her so easily, there must be some conditions.

Sure enough, Wang Weishou said in a low voice: "Your Highness said that there have been many winds and waves on the sea recently, and I hope that the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion can borrow the Kuntou ship for the transportation of materials, and everyone will be happy when the wind and waves are over." His Royal Highness knew that the Kuntou ship was a huge cost, and this envelope contained military funds for the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Palace. ”

Liu Mingyan glanced at him: "Want to borrow the Kuntou ship?" Isn't this king going to stay on this Nanhua Island with him? ”

"It won't take a few days to complete the transportation of materials, and it just so happens that His Majesty the Ming Emperor does have one thing that you need to do personally."

"What?"

Wang Weishou whispered a few words in Liu Mingyan's ear.

Liu Mingyan raised her eyebrows, "Is this serious?" ”

"It's true, Your Majesty is already restless in this matter, so I ordered you to go to the island to investigate it personally."

Liu Mingyan's heart quickly began to calculate.

Zhu Zhitong is missing? It's not much to care about. But it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to go to the island and take a closer look. My Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion has never approached this place since the Lu clan took control of Nanhua Island, and now it is just time to go through the entire island inside and out, along with all the mine deposits.

"I know, then you go and tell Your Majesty and Your Highness, saying that I, Liu Mingyan, will live up to the holy will." After speaking, Liu Mingyan shouted: "Come on, pass my order." The Kuntou ship was stationed on Nanhua Island for several days and landed at four anchors. ”

Ordinary ships have an anchor, and larger ships are nothing more than making the anchor bigger. The Kuntou ship is so huge that no matter how big the anchor is, it can't hold the whole ship, so there are huge anchors on both sides of the bow, stern, and belly. In normal times, only one anchor will be dropped when the voyage is slightly stopped, two anchors will be dropped when the wind and waves are strong, and only four anchors will be dropped when the wind and waves are strong. As long as the four anchors fall, the Kuntou ship will be able to stand still, as stable as Mount Tai.

When the accompanying generals heard that it was the four anchors, they knew what Liu Mingyan meant, and stepped on the horseback and galloped away.

However, in half a day, the entire Nanhua Island learned the news, and the governor of Nanjiang was personally stationed here.

At this time, behind the bushes on a small hill not far from the pergola, two inconspicuous figures were hidden.

"Have you looked closely?"

"That's right, we just went under the Kuntou ship and saw that the four anchors had already been settled. What about your side? Did you hear anything? ”

"Liu Mingyan said that he was going to stay here for a few days, since you also saw that the four anchors fell, it should be right."

"Wasn't she supposed to be chasing us on the Kuntou ship? Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”

"I don't know, it seems to be under some will, the two of them just now spoke too lowly, I can't hear clearly."

"Thank God, this is really Amaterasu's blessing, so let's go back and report to your lordship."

"Well, let's go."

The two petite figures flashed a few times with agility and leaped into the water not far away. Soon, the stirred up water was hidden by the waves, and there was no movement.

The sea area facing southeast of Nanhua Island is sunny and calm.

Under this clear sky, there was a strange fog gathering on a sea surface that should be a thousand miles away. The fog was condensed but not chaotic, not dispersed by the sea breeze, and there was a faint hint of purple. It wasn't until the sun set, and the twilight thinned, that the fog gradually thinned out, revealing a statue.

The upper body of the statue is a very beautiful long-haired woman, but the lower body is a hideous snake body. Looking closer, a slender hull appears behind the statue.

It turned out that this was a statue of Zhenhai hanging on the bow of the ship to ward off evil spirits. I saw that the shape of the ship was thin and narrow, like a sea serpent, lying low in the mist. After another half an hour, the purple mist completely dissipated, and it was only then that we could see that behind the snake-like hull, there were seventeen or eighteen ships of the same appearance, but they were smaller than the one in front.

On the deck of the snake ship, a young man stood quietly, with a slender and thin figure hidden under a gray-white cloak. He had a curved saber pinned to his waist, and like his own, it was also thin and long. The man silently stared at Nanhua Island in the distance, his eyebrows furrowed.

After a long time, several splashes of water rose under the side of the ship, revealing two heads. The two men were lithe, took out a silver-white rope and threw it at the bow of the ship, and in the blink of an eye they were carried into the air, and they had landed firmly on the deck.

"My lord, Aoi and I are back."

The man looked at the wet two, and his tone was as warm as water: "Why have you been here for a long time?" ”

The girl who was called Ah Kui said: "Liu Mingyan and the prefect of Cheongju talked too much nonsense, and Ah Teng and I acted separately, and we even delayed it for more than half an hour. ”

Ato immediately interjected: "Didn't you see a big mussel shell under the water on the way back, and you had to dig up the beads inside to delay?" ”

Ah Kui glared and said unconvinced: "But with such a big bead, wouldn't it be a pity not to dig it?" I see that this bead fits perfectly in the scabbard of an adult. As he spoke, he took out a blue sea pearl from his bosom, which was the size of half an egg, crystal clear, and was obviously a good treasure.

The young man smiled softly: "Okay, such beads are indeed rare, this blue sea country occupies all the geographical advantages, and the gold pearls are everywhere, which is indeed beyond the reach of my Liuxia country." At present, there is a shortage of military funds, and such a big bead can be exchanged for a lot of silver, and Ah Kui's mind is very good. ”

Ah Kui originally wanted to give the beads to this young man, but when she heard him say that she was going to sell them for silver, she was a little disappointed, but when she praised her for her good intentions, her fair face suddenly flushed a lot.

When Ato heard this, he was not far behind and said: "I see that there are still a lot of such big mussel shells, why don't I take advantage of the good sun tomorrow morning and dig some too?" ”

The young man smiled and shook his head: "Liu Mingyan is close at hand, it's better to be careful." There is not much left of the fog on our ship, and we need to save some of it. If I hadn't used this fog shadow to cover it for a long time today, I'm afraid I would have been seen by the Kuntou ship. Tell me, you've been there for so long, what do you find? ”

Liu Mingyan seems to be planning to station the Kuntou ship on Nanhua Island for a few days, the specific reason is ...... We don't know. ”

"Is this true? Is she really going to spend some time on Nanhua Island? ”

"There is no doubt that she seems to be going to the island to find someone, and Ah Kui also went to the underwater of the Kuntou ship to see, and four anchors have been dropped."

The man fell into deep thought.

After falling four anchors, it seems that the Kuntou ship really does not plan to leave Nanhua Island immediately, which is a good opportunity.

At this moment, a man walked from the back of the cabin.

Both Aoi and Ato's affectionately called, "Sister Washioo." ”

Washio bowed slightly to the two, bowed to the man, and said respectfully, "Tsukushi-sama, that girl is awake." ”

The young man said to the two young girls, "Okay, go and change your clothes, be careful not to catch a cold." With that, he turned and entered the cabin, followed by Eagletail.

Ah Kui watched the figures of the two leave, and whispered:

"Ato, you see that Tsukushi-sama doesn't seem so sad anymore."

Ato shook his head: "It just looks ...... Who wouldn't be sad when faced with such a change? Tsukushi-sama is a kind-hearted person, and he just doesn't want us all to worry. ”

Ah Kui sighed: "Amaterasu is above, why don't you take care of our Liuxia Kingdom like this, why did you suffer such a catastrophe, how does this make Tsukushi-sama bear ......?"

Zhu Zhitong sat up slowly, feeling a faint pain in her temples.

She looked around, what appeared to be a sealed room. The room is not big, but it is beautifully furnished. She looked at the blanket covered by her body, it was as light as silk, and it was warm to the touch, a texture that she had never seen before.

Where could this be?

Zhu Zhitong held her forehead and recalled that she should be on a small boat, pushed to the middle of the sea by the waves, and it rained heavily when no one answered left and right.

Approximately...... Was he rescued later?

At this time, Zhu Zhitong suddenly felt the floor under her feet shaking slightly.

She has been boating on the lake since she was a child, and the feeling of undulating waves is all too familiar.

It's not on land, it's on a ship!

While he was thinking, the door was gently removed. Two young men, a man and a woman, came in.

The man saw Zhu Zhilu sitting on the couch in a daze, and smiled gently:

"You're awake."
