Section 45 A Dream Under the Coconut Tree

"Your Royal Highness, you are still so free and easy. Murong Jing looked at her fist-hugging posture, and couldn't help but think of those days under Yunshan, her originally cold expression was slightly relaxed, but it was only a moment before she became solemn: " The chasing mountain clan used to be harmonious with the Fujian country, but it was all because the first king loved peace, and most of the bullies of the chasing mountain clan in the South China Sea were forbearance and retreat, which was exchanged for decades of peace。 ”

"Yaoyong's affairs, the king and queen have told me a lot in their letters before. It was precisely because I knew that things were difficult to do, so I thought that Wang Xiang was resourceful and eloquent, so I sent him to help. Although I expected that the chasing mountain clan would not give up so easily, Zuo just wanted more gold and silver wealth, and no matter how bad it was, he wanted to dominate some small islands in the South China Sea, these can be discussed-" Yao Jin's hand unconsciously knocked on the edge of the table, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect them to be so unreasonable, and dare to detain people directly!"

"That chasing mountain clan sounds like a royal family, but in fact it is a pirate den! Lone is never afraid of such bandits, if they don't let people go, Lone himself will lead the army there, and he will clear this thief's den and take that Yaoyong!"

Yao Jin saw that he had a murderous look on his face, as if he had returned to the ruthless Murong Jing of the past, smiled, and shook his head for a moment and said: "Since the king calls himself 'Lonely', he should know that he has a heavy responsibility. As the head of a country, how can he easily go to the front line? Isn't this to make the whole country uneasy, and presumably our Queen Min will be the first to stand up and oppose it. ”

Murong Jing's eyes darkened, and he sighed and said: "For the sake of the king's affairs, Yang Ying has been thinking about tea and dinner these days, and even the princess Wang can see that she is wrong, and she specially sent someone to Tianzhang Academy to inquire this morning." ”

The princess ...... That's Wen Zihua's mother, right? Almost, I'm going to call her mother. Yao Jin's mind was in a trance, and he suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder if there is any new news from the spies sent to the Chasing Mountain Islands in the past two days?"

"There is a rather strange news, saying that Wang Xiang was not detained on the big island where Wang Yaoyong lived, that is, on Chasing Mountain Island, but was imprisoned in the nearby Pengwan. ”

"Pengwan?

"Pengwan is backed by Chasing Mountain Island, surrounded by three small islands, the outside is turbulent, but the Penghu Lake inside is very calm, there is a small island in Penghu, which is the beloved daughter given to him by the King of Chasing Mountain, and it is also his only royal daughter Xuannu residence. ”

"Could it be that this Xuan girl has fallen in love with our king and wants to keep him as the king's son-in-law?" Yao Jinyu was angry, and said, "Now, what is the king's plan?"

"The meaning of the DPRK is naturally to send an envoy to make peace. Lone thought that this time he should not give any more gifts or say anything nonsense that peace is precious, so he simply asked the mountain chasing king what his purpose was, and how he could release it to make and no longer damage the peace of my South China Sea. If he said that if Lone could do it, then even if he asked for more, Lone would agree, and if he couldn't—"

Yao Jinliu raised his eyebrows, got up and answered: "Then don't talk to him anymore, the lord of the country must work with the king of Min to send troops to the South China Sea to chase the mountain islands, and he will definitely bring back the king and completely subdue the chasing mountain clan!"

"Good!"

On the evening of this day, Yao Jin only ate some wine and a few chopsticks in the sea banquet hall, chatted with the Min Wang couple, the princess and Mrs. Jiang, and then deduced that he was a little tired after a tiring journey, so he got up and went back to the residence arranged for her by Yang Ying to rest. And Liu Xiaolong, as the chief of the guard next to Yao Jin, was not allowed to enter the inner palace because of his status as a man, so he was left in the sea banquet hall to continue the feast, and the king of Min appreciated his straightforward and calm temperament, which was very lifting; Yang Ying was a little relieved because of Yao Jin's arrival, so she told some interesting stories and jokes with the princess, and Mrs. Jiang heard from Yao Jin that her two county lord sisters of the Li Dynasty were gentle and easy to get along with, and now Emperor Wei has handed over the eldest son of the emperor to her two to raise, and he is also a little more relieved, and he is even more grateful to Yao Jin.

Yao Jin, who returned to his residence, did not delay in the slightest, and went to the study to write a letter to the dumb maid who accompanied him before changing his clothes, and the dumb maid had been following Yao Jin for a long time, and when he saw Zhao Yu's name written on the envelope, he immediately understood, nodded and went down to deliver the message. Yao Jin saw her out of the yard, so she exhaled slightly, walked to a thick coconut tree, sat on the ground against the trunk, closed her eyes slightly, let the moonlight cover her face brightly and softly, and couldn't help but think in her heart:

Murong Jing mentioned twice that he would send troops to chase the mountain clan, and his intention was naturally not only for the king, but also for the temporary peace of the South China Sea. How could this person who had been raised in a wolf's den and whose style of conduct had been inherited from Wen Zihua not want to take the opportunity to expand his territory? The Chasing Mountain Islands have a lot of aquatic products, not only are there rich fishing grounds, but there are also many iron and copper mines in the sea, otherwise how could a single mountain chasing tribe expand to the point that even today's Fujian country cannot be underestimated. Yang Ying said that it was rumored in the court and in the palace that the King of Min had offended the Li Dynasty by making friends with Xiao Nanguo, and this stupid argument could kill a few people in Murong Jing's style, but Yang Ying said that he couldn't suppress it. I don't know if he deliberately connived at these people and these words, just to make the outside world think that he is just a small king of a small country with a narrow vision and only for small profits, and I don't know if he has already had the intention of annexing the Chasing Mountain Islands in private. If he can unite with Xiao Nanguo to take the Chasing Mountain Islands this time - after all, Xiao Nanguo is inland, and it is impossible to take the territory on this sea, and the Min State already shares this South China Sea with the Chasing Mountain Islands, if it can occupy this sea area alone......

Thinking about it, maybe he was really tired, maybe the wine in Fujian was a little strong, Yao Jin actually fell asleep against the trunk of the tree in a daze. In the dream, she sat on a boat with white sails, floating in the clear sky of the South China Sea, no crew, no helmsman, only she lay barefoot on the deck, the sun was warm, she hummed an unknown tune, sang a few words with a match, and then someone seemed to come over, extremely gently covered her with a blanket, surrounded by a faint incense, familiar and distant, Yao Jin wanted to see the appearance of the person clearly, and when she was concentrating, Wei Yan's desperate face suddenly appeared in front of her, he didn't say anything, just looked at Yao Jin so resolutely, as if his shoulder was still bleeding。 Yao Jin woke up suddenly, only to find that he was already lying on the bed in the house.
