Chapter 58: The Sorrow of Parting

"You really don't want to go back with me?" On a rock in Liaodong Bay, Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo were both standing on it at this time, looking in the direction of Chang'an, Zhao Chen suddenly asked.

At this time, it was early in the morning, because it was already October, and the shore in the early morning was with a bitter chill, and the sea breeze was blowing on the sea.

Mixed with a cold that penetrates into the bones, when people stand on the shore, they will feel the sea breeze blowing, along the gap in the robe, burrowing into the body, and dissipating the temperature of the body wantonly.

On the sea, at this time, the ships that were originally docked together were separated from hundreds of ships separately from the early morning, all of which were different from the ships made in Dongying, and each one was undoubtedly a sea ship.

And these ships are naturally not someone else's, they are the ships belonging to the Lingnan Navy Division and Jiang Chao's, the shape is the same as the treasure ship, but the size is much smaller than the treasure ship.

Just when Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo were standing on the rock on the coast, talking, the ship that was separated by Cheng Chumo's order early in the morning was preparing for the necessary inspection of the voyage.

Goguryeo's mission has been successfully completed, and the next step is to bring several boatloads of bones and transport them safely to Guanzhong, which will be regarded as the official end of the mission.

However, transporting the bones back to Chang'an is a matter for Zhao Chen, and as for Cheng Chumo and his Lingnan sailors, they arrived here in Liaodong Bay, even if they completed his task.

Cheng Chumo didn't plan to go back to Chang'an, last night, Zhao Chen had already said that this time was just an opportunity, anyway, it was winter, even if Cheng Chumo returned to Lingnan, it would be impossible to go to sea, so it was better to go back to Chang'an with him this time.

One is to give Li Er a mission, and the other is to take this opportunity to return to Chang'an for a family reunion, but unfortunately, let him say it, Cheng Chumo just doesn't want to go back with him.

"No!" Hearing Zhao Chen beside him, he mentioned this matter again, Cheng Chumo, who was originally looking at the sea, suddenly turned his head, smiled at Zhao Chen, and said: "Duo Li Niang is still in Guangzhou, if I leave them behind, then the girl will be crazy!" ”

"That's not easy!" When Zhao Chen heard Cheng Chumo's words, he immediately pouted and smiled, and said: "If you really plan to go back, I will let the treasure boat go to Guangzhou, then it doesn't matter!" ”

"Forget it!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Cheng Chumo suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, waved his hand at Zhao Chen, and said with a funny face: "If it is for this matter, the time to go back is delayed, and Your Majesty will blame it at that time, and I can't afford it!" ”

"Let's talk about it!" When these words fell, Cheng Chu silently didn't wait for Zhao Chen to speak, then suddenly sighed again, looked in the direction of Chang'an, and said: "The matter of the water master has just improved now, I am waiting for the matter of the water master to be completely stabilized, and I will take Duoli and them back!" ”

After saying this, Cheng Chumo took out a letter from his arms, held it in his hand and smiled bitterly, and then handed the envelope to Zhao Chen, and said in a somewhat bitter voice: "Help me hand it over to my mother, and those medicinal materials on the ship, I ordered someone to find them..."

"Don't worry!" Cheng Chumo was reluctant to go back, that is, the hurdle in his heart had not yet passed, and in this regard, Zhao Chen was not good at asking for anything, so he had to accept the letter from Cheng Chumo, and nodded at Cheng Chumo and said.

"Go back!" At this time, when Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo were standing on the shore and talking, the ships of the Lingnan Navy Division were already ready, and when they saw Zhao Chen taking the envelope, Cheng Chumo suddenly smiled at Zhao Chen, turned around and jumped off the rock, and strode towards the coast.

"Father and son are exactly the same!" Looking at Cheng Chumo's back, walking towards the coast, Jiang Chao, who had been standing not far away, also walked up at this time, stood beside Zhao Chen, looked at Cheng Chumo's back and said.

"What about you?" Hearing Jiang Chao's words, Zhao Chen, who was originally looking at Cheng Chumo, suddenly turned his head at this time, looked at Jiang Chao beside him and said, "Ning'er has always regarded you as a brother, so don't you plan to go back to see Ning'er this time?" ”

"Ning'er has you, it's done!" Jiang Chao, who was still smiling on his face just now, suddenly heard Zhao Chen's words, the smile on his face disappeared suddenly, and he sighed slightly at Zhao Chen and said.

"Fart!" Hearing Jiang Chao's words, Zhao Chen suddenly controlled his inner irritability and roared: "One by one, they are selfish and want to die, just go back to Chang'an, it's like asking for your life!" ”

"Scold as you like!" Jiang Chao naturally knew Zhao Chen's personality very well, knowing that at this time, Zhao Chen's heart was sad, and he was holding back the fire in his heart, but he couldn't get angry with Cheng Chumo, so he had to sprinkle his grievances on him.

And just as Jiang Chao thought, Zhao Chen was indeed very uncomfortable in his heart, especially at this time, watching it, Cheng Chumo obviously wanted to go back, but because of the obsession in his heart, when he turned around and left, he almost wanted to kill in his heart.

The stubbornness of the Cheng family's father and son has been around for a long time, because of Lao Cheng's consistent strength, which led to Cheng Chumo's psychology and a resentment towards Cheng Biting Jin, until something happened in Mobei, and Lao Cheng's indifference further triggered a cold war between father and son.

And on the contrary, the reason for all this, speaking of which, is also related to Zhao Chen, if he hadn't taken people to the surprise attack at that time, it is estimated that Cheng Chumo would not have been injured, and naturally, there would have been no follow-up.

However, this is the case, many things, since they happened in the first place, there is no way to undo it!

"This is Jiang's collection!" Patiently waiting for Zhao Chen to get enough fire, Jiang Chao took out a delicate box from his arms, handed it to Zhao Chen and said, "It's a meeting gift for the child!" ”

"What's that?" After being angry at Jiang Chao for a long time, he finally felt better, and then, suddenly seeing the box handed by Jiang Chao, Zhao Chen suddenly frowned, looked at Jiang Chao and asked.

"Hepu Dazhu!" Hearing Zhao Chen's question, Jiang Chao simply took back the box, opened the box carefully in front of Zhao Chen, and said: "This thing, but it is very precious, it is a small head of a tribe, and it was given to Jiang in private!" ”

With these words, the box was carefully opened, and along the open box, Zhao Chen's eyes looked into the box, and sure enough, inside the box, a bead about the size of a pigeon's egg was lying quietly in the box.

"This thing is called Hepu Dazhu?" Looking at the beads in the box, Zhao Chen reached over curiously, took the beads between his fingers, looked at them curiously, and asked a little strangely.

Hepu pearls, as Jiang Chao said, are very precious and rare, because the pearls come from the bottom of the sea, and someone needs to dive to the bottom of the sea to be able to pick them.

And in this era, without any diving equipment, just relying on a person's own strength, to pick a large pearl from the bottom of the sea, just thinking about it, it is already incredible.

At the beginning, the Ning brothers in Lingnan had asked Li Yuan for an annex, and the continued gift to Li Yuan was this Hepu Dazhu, but it was later rejected by Li Yuan.

However, it can also be seen how precious this Hepu pearl is!

"Well, you shouldn't have this too, right?" Jiang Chao looked at Zhao Chen holding the beads, looking at them over and over, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, and asked with a smug look.

In Zhao Chen's hands, the most important thing is rare things, but Zhao Chen does not have such naturally growing things, and it is because of this that Jiang Chao will proudly ask such words.

"Okay, then I'll take it for my daughter!" Hearing Jiang Chao's smug words, Zhao Chen suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, and then put the beads back into the box and said cheerfully to Jiang Chao.

"Say hello to Ning'er on behalf of Jiang!" Looking at Zhao Chen accepting the beads, and then looking at the sea in the distance, the ship that was also preparing to set off with the Lingnan Naval Division, Jiang Chao, who was still smiling on his face just now, suddenly pouted at Zhao Chen, and said with a slight melancholy.

"Yes!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he also followed Jiang Chao, sighed slightly, and suddenly smiled at Jiang Chao: "However, don't patronize others, you should think about yourself!" ”

"What do you think?" Jiang Chao, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly stopped in confusion when he heard Zhao Chen's words, looked at Zhao Chen and asked puzzled.

"A lifelong thing, you shouldn't live a lifetime alone, right?" Looking at Jiang Chao's confused expression, Zhao Chen suddenly rolled his eyes, and as he spoke, his eyes suddenly looked at the treasure ship in the distance, and said, "There just happened to be a Goguryeo woman on the treasure ship, why don't you take it back first and make do with it?" ”

"Shameless!" originally thought that Zhao Chen was going to say something, but when he heard Zhao Chen's words, Jiang Chao suddenly pointed out his middle finger at Zhao Chen, dropped a sentence viciously, and turned around and left the coast.

"Hey, I'm serious!" Looking at Jiang Chao's crisp turn, Zhao Chen, who was standing on the rock, suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, shouting loudly at Jiang Chao's back.

"Don't want to throw trouble at Jiang!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words behind him, Jiang Chao kept his feet, still striding towards the boat on the coast, waving his hand behind him without looking back, and said a little gloatingly: "Let's think about it more, how to go back and explain to Ning'er and them!" ”

"Damn, what's the explanation!" Hearing Jiang Chao's words, Zhao Chen suddenly shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and couldn't help pouting at Jiang Chao's back, and whispered.

It's just that, although they say so, think about their trip to Goguryeo, if they grab a boatload of treasures, it can be reasonable, but now, they have robbed a Goguryeo woman back, just listening to it, it feels a little weird.

Cheng Chumo left, Jiang Chao also left, looking at Cheng Chumo and Jiang Chao from afar, with hundreds of ships, leaving Liaodong Bay, Zhao Chen stood on the coast, paused for a long time, and then said goodbye to the old man and others, and walked towards the boat on the coast. (To be continued.) )
