Volume 5 Absurd Southern Han XXXIV, the green flag fluttering
The Snow Pig Prince woke up and saw that there was no one around him, thinking that Zhou Xuan and they had left him quietly and left the island, and he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he screamed sadly.
Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing, who were dragging their corpses into the sea, were stiff, and their hearts were shocked, this is clearly the voice of His Royal Highness the Prince, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?
Zhou Xuan and the three of them quietly retreated when Chen Yanshou and the others were stupid, and tiptoed out of more than ten zhang before speeding up their pace, and heard the cry of the Snow Pig Prince becoming more and more poignant, and they were running towards this side.
When the Snow Pig Prince saw Zhou Xuan, he cried with joy and shouted: "I know that Zhou Keguan is reluctant to leave this shopkeeper!" "A handful of snot and a handful of tears are about to pounce on me.
Zhou Xuan saw the posture of the Snow Pig Prince, hurriedly stood with one palm, and said continuously: "Don't come, don't come-"
The Snow Pig Prince shook his fat and said, "Where have you been, scared the shopkeeper to death?" ”
Zhou Xuan said: "The three of us have just woken up, and we want to see if there are any small beasts in this forest, and catch one to satisfy our hunger, but we don't see anything." ”
At the mention of eating, the Snow Pig Prince immediately felt hungry, and the snacks in his arms had been eaten, and said: "This island is too small, there is no one, we have to continue rowing north, and if we can't find anything to eat, the shopkeeper will die." ”
Zhou Xuan returned to the edge of the small stone pool, at this time the sky was already bright, but he saw that there was a shallow trickle stream in the north of the small pool, and the source of the trickle was a clear spring, which accumulated over time and converged into such a bottomless stone pool.
Zhou Xuan drank two pinches of spring water, and then he heard footsteps coming this way, presumably Chen Yanshou and the others disposed of those corpses.
When the Snow Pig Prince heard the footsteps, he exclaimed, "Who is it?" There are still people on this island! ”
Chen Yanshou shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's the old slave Chen Yanshou." Rushing over, Fei Qing followed closely behind, knelt on the ground by the small stone pool, and kowtowed again and again. Say what escort is late, capital crime capital crime.
The Snow Pig Prince is considered to have met his old acquaintance in a foreign land, and said with great joy: "Haha, there are still living people, and who else is not dead?" ”
Chen Yanshou kowtowed and said, "Only the old slave and Fei Qing got out of danger." After the old slave was separated from His Royal Highness, he cried out and cried blood. Looking around, the old slave firmly believed that His Royal Highness was the grandson of the Jade Emperor and would never die, so he was looking for it with great difficulty. Three small islands have been found, and the old slave vows to search the entire Sea Continent, and God is fortunate to meet His Highness here. ”
The Snow Pig Prince nodded and said, "Well, Chen Yanshou is loyal. Wait for the return of the main palace. There will be a big reward. ”
Fei Qing saw that Chen Yanshou was taking credit, and he didn't mention Fei Qing at all, he was unhappy in his heart, and his face was ugly
"Look, master, there's smoke over there!" The four idiots suddenly screamed loudly.
When everyone looked, they saw a black smoke rising from the northeast of the island, which lasted less than half a cup of tea. The plume of smoke is gone.
Zhou Xuan said: "The pillar of smoke I saw last night was due north. Why is this smoke column in the northeast today? Did the night with the ships looking for us missed? The Snow Pig Prince asked Chen Yanshou and the others: "Which of you has a fire fold?" ”
Fei Qing hurriedly took out the fire fold from his arms and presented it, and the Snow Pig Prince took it. Forwarded to Zhou Xuan, with a flattering face.
The six people came to the east of the island, Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing were uneasy, for fear that Zhou Xuan and the four idiots would see the traces of their murder, and there were still traces of blood on the ground, but fortunately, Zhou Xuan and they didn't care at all, they cut off the branches and lit the fire, and after a while, the smoke billowed up.
After smoking for a while, Zhou Xuan ordered Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing to take water to extinguish the fire, but the smoke could not last long, worried that Wu Yue's water army would appear.
Fei Qing ignored Zhou Xuan's order, and also stalked his neck, the Snow Pig Prince was angry, it was a slap in the past, Fei Qing didn't dare to hide, the Snow Pig Prince's palm was meaty, and it hurt to beat people, and he roared: "What Zhou Keguan said is equivalent to what the shopkeeper said, if you hear it, go get water." ”
Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing hurriedly went to the boat to get a wooden basin to get water to extinguish the fire, and both of them were extremely puzzled in their hearts: Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trust this Zhou Xuan so much? Is it because of the suffering together?
After the fire was extinguished, the six people sat on the rocks on the shore and waited for the arrival of the reinforcement ship, and after about an hour, they saw the top of the mast sail on the sea in the north from a distance, and Zhou Xuanxi said: "The ship that saved us is here, I hope it is the Lingfei." ”
Chen Yanshou looked at it for a while, and exclaimed: "It's not good, this is not the Lingfei, the sail of the Lingfei is not like this, the Lingfei has five masts and seven sails, and this ship has three masts and three sails, which is much smaller than the Lingfei." Zhou Xuan was secretly surprised and asked Lin Ji: "General Lin, the two ships of my Tang Kingdom are three masts and five sails, right, so this ship is not the two ships of my Tang Kingdom!" ”
Chen Yanshou said: "It's definitely not our fleet ship - His Royal Highness the Prince, please take shelter in the forest, this ship is afraid that it will not be good." ”
Zhou Xuan's six people all went into the woods, watching the sails of the sea ship get closer and closer, and it seemed that they were really coming to the island.
Zhou Xuan said to the Snow Pig Prince: "Shopkeeper Liu, this ship is likely to be Wu Yue's navy, Wu Yue Qian Weizhi is bent on destroying the marriage between Tang and Han, and we are ready to meet the enemy."
Chen Yanshou said: "This ship is not big, it can only carry a maximum of 100 people except sailors-" Turning his head to look at the four idiots and Lin Ji, he continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhou Marriage Envoy sit still, and it is enough for the four of us to deal with these hundred people." ”
The boat was getting closer and closer, but it did not come towards the island, as if it was about to pass by the southern end of the island.
Zhou Xuan said: "It is impossible for them not to see the smoke just now, if Wu Yue's navy will definitely come to inspect it, is this a passing merchant ship?" ”
The Snow Pig Prince hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and ask for help, this shopkeeper is dying of hunger." ”
Fei Qing hurriedly jumped out, cut off a tree trunk, and danced it in his hand, wanting the sea ship to see it, but the long sail blew, and the sea ship sailed past the southern end of the island without stopping, and he could see that there were people on the deck looking this way, and he must have seen someone on the island, but he was indifferent.
Fei Qing cursed loudly, and Chen Yanshou screamed again: "Ah, another ship is coming." "With a vertical body, jumping on the branch of the tree, it can be regarded as climbing high and looking far away.
After a while, Chen Yanshou on the tree branch said in surprise: "This ship is very similar to the Lingfei, wait a while, and you can see it clearly when you get closer." ”
Zhou Xuan was secretly excited in his heart, it would be great if the "Lingfei Treasure Ship" was unharmed, after the storm the night before, he was adrift at sea, and his life was difficult to protect. I didn't have time to think about Princess Qingle, cumin and General Qi on the "Lingfei Treasure Boat", so I only comforted myself in my heart: "Princess, cumin, they will definitely be fine, definitely not!" ”
Chen Yanshou stared at it for another moment and said with certainty: "That's right, it's the Lingfei." Fei Qing, go and light the fire again. ”
The four idiots also said happily: "Master." It's really Lingfei, that's great. ”
Zhou Xuan, Si Idiot, and Lin Ji were all smiling, and the "Lingfei" were all from their Tang Kingdom, as long as the "Lingfei" was fine, the others couldn't care so much.
On the deck of the "Lingfei". General Qi, who was stabbed in many places by thistle terrestris, was anxious, the county prince was not found, and Princess Qingle was taken captive by the people of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian, although the princess would not be in danger for the time being. But you can't chase it back. The princess is going to marry Liu Shousudi, the prince of the Southern Han Dynasty, how can she let Zhang Sheng snatch it halfway? Snatching relatives is the custom of the Qingyuan barbarians, and I have never heard of a princess being robbed!
Suddenly, I saw the small island in front of the right in front of the black smoke rising into the sky, this small island they had sent people to explore yesterday, no one inhabited, only a pool of good water, but unfortunately things were urgent at that time. Too late to fetch water. I didn't expect the island to smoke now!
General Qi fell for the smoke trick to throw Princess Qingle to the ground and was furious. scolded: "The thieves of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian, the princess has been taken away by you, and she is still smoking? Smoke your mother's! ”
Jin Wuwei, who was beside General Qi, joined the army and said, "Lord Qi, did you send someone to the island to arrest the traitors of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian and interrogate them?" ”
General Qi waved his hand anxiously and said: "There is nothing to judge, the princess is on the boat in front, we have to chase it quickly, the spies on the island are smoking just to delay our time." ”
The "Lingfei" has three masts and five sails, and it is driving at full strength, and it has no intention of being near the island at all.
Zhou Xuan on the island was anxious and patted the Snow Pig Prince on the shoulder: "Shopkeeper Liu, you have to get out of here." ”
Prince Snow Pig said: "This shopkeeper can't swim in the water!" ”
Zhou Xuan said: "It's not that you want to swim in the water, you just take off this green robe, get out naked, and then stand on this big rock and wave your green robe towards the treasure ship." ”
The Snow Pig Prince did as he was told, and stood naked on the towering rocks, waving his green robe, and the sun shone on his dazzling white fat, which was too eye-catching.
The sentry on the lookout of the "Lingfei" saw the snow-white fat man a hundred zhang away, and shouted: "Lord Qi, that person on the island seems to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my Han Kingdom!" ”
When General Qi heard this, he hurriedly took his crutches to the side of the boat to take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a white fat man, and there were several people around the white fat man, so he quickly ordered the big boat to approach the island.
The "Lingfei" slowly stopped when it was still fifty zhang away from the island, and General Qi and they all saw clearly at this time, and the island beckoned to be the Duke of Zhou and the Prince of the Southern Han Dynasty, all of whom were ecstatic, and hurriedly sent a small boat to pick up the Duke of Zhou.
Zhou Xuan got on the boat and saw General Qi and the two Jin Wuwei soldiers kneeling in front of him to plead guilty, and was shocked: "Something happened to the princess?" ”
General Qi told everything about the stormy land the night before, and Zhou Xuan heard that the three princesses of Qingle were just taken captive, so he put down the center of the earth and said, "Get up, hurry up and start the boat, you must snatch the princess back." ”
Zhou Xuan ordered Jin Wuwei to call the ship's supervisor and ask him about the fire in the ship's galley, and asked if the cook and handyman in the kitchen had been serving on the ship for many years.
The ship's warden replied respectfully: "Lord Yujun, there are five cooks and ten handymen in the kitchen of the Lingfeibao ship, except for one handyman who was newly aboarded at the beginning of the year, the rest have been on duty on the ship for more than two years. ”
Zhou Xuan said: "Arrest that guy, this person is a spy of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian nine times out of ten, and he will be recruited after a beating, but it will not help if he recruits, and the princess has been taken captive." ”
Eunuch Feng came over and said, "County Lord, I have something to tell you. ”
Zhou Xuan saw that Eunuch Feng's face was full of worry, and comforted: "Eunuch Feng, don't be too anxious, I will definitely rescue Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Feng Ajian nodded, and whispered to Zhou Xuan what he heard about Yun Ajian and Huangxu Jin Wuwei the afternoon before yesterday, and said, "I have found out, that Jin Wuwei's name is Hu Qing." ”
Zhou Xuan frowned, and thought, "Things are really complicated, Zhang Sheng, the eighth king of Zhongtian over there, sent someone to kidnap Princess Qingle, and there are Li Kun's people here who are ready to deal with me." Immediately called Lin Ji over and asked about Hu Qing.
Lin Ji knew that Hu Qing and King Jing had a close relationship, and when he heard Zhou Xuan's question, he immediately understood that Lin Ji originally planned not to participate in the dispute between King Jing and the East Palace, but now it is different, Zhou Jungong saved his life, and he got along with him at sea for two days, which was a lifelong friendship, and he immediately said: "County Prince, go and arrest Hu Qing immediately, and you will know in the first instance." ”
Zhou Xuandao: "General Lin is responsible for this matter, report the results of the interrogation to me, and interrogate the Yun Eunuch as well, and the Yun Eunuch will try not to torture him." ”
Zhou Xuan climbed the bow tower again and looked ahead, because he had been delayed by the island for half an hour, the distance between the "Lingfei" and Seng Jingquan's sea ship had been widened at this time, and the other party's sail shadow could not be seen.
At this moment, two clippers suddenly appeared in the starboard direction, quickly approaching the "Lingfei", the bow flag hunting, but it was the flag of Wu Yue, the sea in the continent continued to smoke, Wu Yue Navy did not move a little and could not say.
General Qi hurriedly ordered the soldiers on the ship to meet the enemy, and Lin Ji did not try the case, leading nearly 200 Jin Wuwei with hard bows and arrows to wait.
Seeing that the "Lingfei" was several times larger than them, Wu Yueguo's two ships did not dare to approach, and followed the side of the "Lingfei" as if they were escorts.
The ship's supervisor said: "It's a pity that the wind destroyed two masts the night before, otherwise where would this Wu Yue boat catch up with the treasure ship of my Han Kingdom!" ”
In the distance, a corner of the mast sail was exposed on the sea level, and the four idiots stood beside Zhou Xuan and said, "Master, it seems to be Seng Jingquan's ship." ”
Zhou Xuan smiled: "I understand, Seng Jingquan was also entangled by Wu Yue's army. ”
