Beishan Yu returned to the prince's mansion, Cui Ruo had already returned to the main room, changed into a soft old silk soft smoke, sat on the couch with his legs crossed his knees, and didn't know what he was thinking. Like a pebble thrown into a lake, the pain ripples out in circles. "Ruo'er."

"Fourth master, you're back."

Cui Ruo saw that Beishan Yu was about to stay and greet her, but the other party hurriedly stepped forward to stop her movements and said, "Ruo'er, don't move." I know it's boring for you to stay in your room all day, but it's important to take care of your body, and you will be able to move around in seven or eight days, so I will bear with it. ”

Cui Ruorourou glanced at him and nodded obediently.

When Beishan Yu saw her eyes looking over, he remembered the matter of harmony, and said to him left and right: "Chen'er is sleeping again?" ”

Kitayama Yu's temperament is not liked by the Ming Emperor, so he is very eager for the attention of others in the deepest part of his heart. And since Cui Ruo married into the Four Princes' Mansion, she has been tender like water, and regards him as her own heaven and her backbone, so Beishan Yu has sought a needed emotion in her, and gradually relies on Cui Ruo very much and trusts her, feeling that this weak woman needs her own protection very much.

Cui Ruo's heart is like a mirror to this, and he is more and more gentle and obedient. Seeing that he decided not to mention the matter of kissing, he knew that he had touched a nail when he entered the palace today, although his heart was tense, his face was not revealed, and he only grabbed Beishan Yu's hand tightly and said: "The nurse holds it, and the child just has to sleep more to grow up faster." ”

Beishan Yu felt that she was uneasy in her heart, but she never came to ask him, and she felt more and more distressed inside, Cui Ruo was sensible and considerate, and knew cold and hot. He shook her hand back and said, "Ruo'er, don't worry, I will be consistent in my life." ”

Cui Ruo's heart sank suddenly, what did he mean by this...... It is clearly said that the matter of harmony cannot be changed! Beishan Yu wants to marry Princess Gaoyang of Da'an as the main concubine, and she will live as a side concubine forever!

……

The sky is getting brighter, but the fog on the sea has not yet lifted. Nangong Hai looked at the captives lying on the deck and said, "Lock him up and guard him strictly." ”

A group of eight people, two dead and six captured, the receipt is not small. It's just that these people's mouths have always been very tight, and Nangong Hai didn't report much hope to be able to ask anything from their mouths. Now their first task is to bring Hai Luozhi back and cure Nangong Lie's chronic illness. I don't know why, he always has an uneasiness in his heart.

It wasn't until noon that the fog on the sea began to dissipate. Because he was afraid of deviating from the course, from the fog last night to the present, Yang Fan did not move forward, but at this time, the dense fog gradually disappeared, and Nangong Hai and Yang Zhen looked at the scene in front of them, but their faces changed.

At some point, their boat drifted down the current to an island.

Nangong Hai frowned and said, "Where is this?" We didn't pass through any islands on the way here, so are we still going in the wrong direction? ”

Losing your way at sea is a terrible thing, especially when food is limited, water is scarce, and there are so many people. Yang Zhen felt his surroundings and said, "There is something strange here, there seems to be no wind, and the sea is almost still. ”

Nangong Hai noticed that their ship was floating on the sea at this time, barely moving, and it seemed that it was still not far away from the island in front of him. "Huh? What's going on? ”

Yang Wei looked around and said: "We sailed on the island for more than ten days before, in fact, it is not too far to go to sea, even if we deviate from the direction, it should not be too outrageous, as long as we find the right direction, it should be easy to return to the original route and return to land." The problem is, there seems to be something strange about this sea, and the ship is here, and it can't be moved at all......"

"What's wrong?" Gongsun Lan rested for two hours, and when he walked out of the cabin, he heard Yang Zhen's solemn voice.

"Come and see."

Gongsun Lan looked in the direction of Nangong Hai's finger, and was stunned: "Why is there another island?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "You feel the surroundings again. ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but as soon as he says it, Gongsun Lan immediately senses that something is wrong, and goosebumps all over his body. There was no wind, no current, and the whole sea was dead...... She walked to the side of the boat and looked out into the sea, and there was nothing to see except for the occasional ripples of the hull. "How so?"

Rao is that she is well-informed, and she can't help but be stunned on the spot at this time.

The number of people on the deck gradually increased, and they soon noticed the strangeness of this place, and they couldn't help but be shocked. The great monk frowned and said, "The fog was too big last night, and I couldn't see the surrounding situation at all, and I couldn't feel the hull moving. But at this time, it seems that we have drifted far away? ”

Someone opened the canvas, but found that the sails were hanging heavily, and there was not a trace of wind blowing from Ben. Not only did everyone feel terrified, but the scholar said, "Don't we have any other way to make the boat walk?" ”

"With such a big boat, even if we have one oar per person, I'm afraid we won't be able to row it. No wind, no current, how to go? ”

Gongsun Lan said: "It seems that we have to go to that island to have a look." ”

"You mean, there's something weird about this island?"

"There's no other way around now, is there?" Gongsun Lan looked at the island with a calm face and said, "Since we don't know where the weirdness is, we can only solve the visible doubts first." Drop the two boats and we'll row over! ”

There was some trepidation in everyone's hearts, and many of them planned to stay on the ship, after all, unknown dangers are always more terrifying than known dangers.

Yang Wei and Gongsun Lan didn't know if there were any hidden piles on the ship, so they didn't dare to leave Nangong Hai alone on the ship. But they were afraid that someone on the ship would take advantage of their absence to attack Nangong and Gongsun's clansmen and rescue those prisoners, so Gongsun Lan and Yang Zheng could only go to one. Yang Zhen said: "I don't know what is on the island, you stay on the boat, I'll go down and take a look." ”

Gongsun Lan shook his head firmly and said, "No one here knows more about the things on the sea than me, so I'll go." She took out a bamboo whistle from her sleeve, shook it in front of Yang Zhen, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't want to be away from that island." The sound of the bamboo whistle is enough to be transmitted, and every half hour, we use the bamboo whistle as a signal to convey each other's current situation. Danger, or safety. ”

This is the secret code for the Star Guard Battalion to communicate with each other, and Gongsun Lan wrote down the meaning of various whistles.

Yang Zhen couldn't help but admit that Gongsun Lan's knowledge was far from comparable to him, he frowned and thought for a while, but there was no better way, so he could only say in a deep voice: "If there is danger, withdraw immediately, don't hesitate!" When the time comes, let's think of another way, don't do it. ”

"yes, I know."

The three small boats were hoisted by ropes and lowered to the sea, and Gongsun Lan and more than 20 people paddled the water with oars and slowly approached the island.

The island was similar in size to the one they had been to before, but it had a very different appearance, with many rocks, dark colors, and very dark plants, which made the whole island look dull and dull.

The little monk said, "Is there such a stone in this water?" Otherwise, why is the color of the sea so deep? ”

The monk and apprentice were inseparable, and at this time, the big monk took the little monk with him when he went to the island. Although there is danger, the little monk has a strange power, and he may not suffer a loss. When everyone heard him say this, they suddenly said, "It must be true!" ”

Gongsun Lan said: "Be careful with the boating, in case the rocks in the water protrude and hit it, it will be bad." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately slowed down. It was not far away, but it took half an hour to reach the shore. Tethered the boat to the reef on the shore, everyone walked slowly towards the island, their hearts tense.

This was a very different mood from the island they had felt before they went, and although the island was full of dangers, at least the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the birds and flowers were all as usual. Not only was the terrain strange, but there was also a dead silence, and the fact that their ship was motionless on the sea not far away first formed a sense of oppression in people's hearts.

The island is full of strange rocks, large and small caves, and trees and flowers are mixed in between, mysterious and gloomy. The scholar's folding fan had not moved in the palm of his hand for a long time, and it was obvious that his nerves were tense. If you are not afraid at all, it is self-deception, but everyone is inevitably a little curious at this time.

Nangong Hai hesitated: "Girl, why don't we find a cave at the edge and take a look to see what is in these caves." If there is danger inside, the small cave at the edge may not be too tricky. ”

Gongsun Lan looked at the surrounding landscape, in addition to the trees, there are large and small caves around, and sooner or later he will go to the cave to explore, so he nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Gongsun Lan didn't use a bone knife and a soft whip, he directly pulled out the long sword and held it in his hand, this kind of time when he didn't know what danger he faced, he was an inch long and an inch strong, and he was still careful and subtle. When everyone saw her pick up the vines at the entrance of a hole in front of her, they all took their weapons in their hands and cautiously leaned inside.

There was light from the outside at the entrance of the cave, and I could see a little clearly, but it was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything. Everyone looked around for flammable wood and lit it as a torch, and Yukan walked in.

The walls were uneven, made entirely of that kind of black stone, rough and hard to the touch. The entrance to the cave looks small, but it is not small at all, and someone whispered: "There are so many holes on this island, will they all be connected?" ”

"It's possible that the whole island is so big, so many holes, if not all of them are connected, but some of them must be connected."

"Shhhh

Although the man with the scar was rough, he was actually very careful, and when everyone saw that he seemed to have heard something, they all fell silent, and all around him was the crackling sound of torches burning from time to time.
