Night sailing ship in the East China Sea.

Qin Beiyang, Ye Kenan, Ouyang Anna, and Jiu Se were crowded in the narrow bow of the boat, and the sea breeze ruffled the ends of their hair.

Before Ye Ke could answer, Ouyang Anna interjected first: "Yes, Qin Beiyang, don't look at your ingenuity, you don't forget, you have thousands of books in your chest, if you really want to run to the top of the society, these may not work!" ”

"I understand, Anna, your father, Mr. Ouyang, also understands, so he didn't force me to be his apprentice anymore. With the temperament and temperament of a person like me, even if I mix with the Green Gang, I will be betrayed or hacked to death with an axe in a few minutes. I'm destined to be a craftsman who has no interest. ”

"Beiyang, you are clumsy by nature, and you only admit death! In your eyes, the world is black and white, and there is no room for a grain of sand! In our Beijing dialect, it is the shaft, it is the tendon! ”

Although he was taught a lesson by Ye Kenan, Qin Beiyang puffed up his chest and said: "Isn't it supposed to be like this? I only remember what my father said to me in the dungeon - if you don't go crazy, you won't live! ”

"What a 'don't go crazy, don't survive'! Beiyang, I read you right, this is your biggest shortcoming, but also your biggest advantage! ”

"There's a saying in English called social intelligence!" Anna added, "It means social intelligence, which is your ability to deal with people and handle relationships in society." ”

"I understand that if I give a grade, my social intelligence is a fail, or even a zero." Qin Beiyang half-squatted down and looked at the glass-colored eyeballs of the town's tomb beast, "Nine colors, I'm just like you!" ”

"Beiyang, I don't expect you to change your personality." In front of Ye Kenan's eyes, it seems that he is still a nine-year-old boy reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at night in the courtyard of the Tianjin German Concession, "On the contrary, I am afraid that when you grow up, you will become a mediocre person, only know how to protect yourself, become an old oilman, and forget the dreams of your youth." "A boy's dream?"

Qin Beiyang was thoughtful, and he was a little excited in his heart!

"Remember, don't forget your original intention!"

"Beiyang remember!"

Ye Kenan looked at the vast night in front of the bow of the ship, cutting through the rough East China Sea, and the Chinese mainland in front of him was still in a dark chaos: "You not only have to study in China, but also go abroad to see the civilizations of the East and the West, so as to be worthy of the title of Earl of Mt. Dharma, worthy of your million silver, and your surname and antler birthmark." Don't live up to your adoptive father's wishes! ”

This sentence suddenly poked Qin Beiyang's tears, and his mind flashed through the night of annihilation eight years ago, pressed under Qiu Desheng's corpse, and was stained red with blood. Farewell! ”

“Ich liebe dich.”

He looked into the darkness of the void and read out his adoptive father's last words to himself.

"What are you talking to me?"

Anna happened to come up to him, and Qin Beiyang scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm talking about it...... Tonight the sky is fine, but the waves are high. ”

"Where did the weather come from? The moon and stars are gone, and I see that the sea is going to be stormy! ”

Qin Beiyang stood up at the bow of the ship and roared: "Let the storm come more violently!" ”

"Neurotic!"

Anna said this, but she laughed herself. The girl who grew up on the island was able to observe the sky, and sure enough, with a howling northwest wind, a cold rain fell on the East China Sea. Qin Beiyang touched Jiu Se's head: "Inspector Ye, you are a person with great wisdom, do you really have earth-shattering plans for the future?" ”

The wind and rain are like the bow of the ship, Ye Kenan looked up at the dark universe, dropped his knees, and said in a deep voice: "The ancestors of Yan and Huang are on top, the souls of the people of Gengzi Nian are on top, and Emperor Jianwen is in the spirit of heaven as a proof - obstacles and rivers are in the east, and the tide is in the fall, and the people of Li who saved me China were born in fire and water." ”

Qin Beiyang and Ouyang Anna knelt on the bow of the boat together, including the town's tomb beast Nine Colors.

The sea was pouring rain, and the captain wore a coat and came out to collect the sails. Everyone returned to the cabin, as if on horseback, no one slept well, and Qi Yuanshan was seasick and vomited. The nine colors directly turned into a solidified young Qilin Town Tomb Beast, and Haneda Taishu wanted to touch it twice, but was pushed away by Qin Beiyang.

Tossing all night, when the day is bright, the wind and rain gradually lessen, and the sails are raised again.

In the afternoon, we have arrived at the gray Yangtze River estuary. Qin Beiyang and Jiuse lay on the bow of the ship again, looking at the Yangtze River in the distance.

Ye Kenan squeezed to his side and said, "Beiyang, there is one more thing, I must tell you separately - it has something to do with it." ”

"Nine colors?" Qin Beiyang saw Ye Ke's head and touched the mane of this "big dog", "Every word you say, it can remember." ”

"It's okay, everyone will betray, but the Tomb Beast won't, right?"

"Yes, only the Tomb Beast will always be loyal."

Nine colors also nodded and winked.

"The other day, I received a telegram from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Ye Kenan stared at the nine-colored eyes, "Do you remember?" The tomb robber Xiao Mu confessed that the warlord dug up the small town tomb beast from the Tang Dynasty tomb in Bailuyuan, as well as the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty. According to reliable sources, the cart containing the coffin had been secretly transported to Beijing and bought by an antique dealer. ”

Qin Beiyang waved his fist: "No wonder, you have to arrange for me to go north quickly, just to find this coffin." ”

Jiuse also raised his head and put his front paws on Ye Kenan's knees.

"Think about it, why did the Assassins look for you? Why was the massacre created in the Hongkou Fishing House? And why did you burn Damo Mountain? First, it lies in you, Qin Beiyang; second, in the nine colors of the town's tomb beasts; and the third, the little prince of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Qin Beiyang pressed his temples hard, feeling that his brain juice was not enough: "Xiao Mu said that the little prince in the coffin is not rotten, and his face is very similar to a person - it is me." And the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty is precisely my birthplace! That's why the small-town grave beasts recognize me as their master. ”

"Yes, since the Assassins are acting around you, they will also go to Beijing to find the coffin of the little prince. These guys have great powers, and they will definitely get the results that the police can find. Perhaps, in our Beijing Police Department, or even the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Beiyang Government, there are assassins' insiders. ”

"I'm really looking forward to flying to Beijing now! Open the coffin of the little prince and see what is inside, it is worth dying so many people for it! ”

Beijing! Beijing!

While talking, Ah You was hiding in the cabin, peeping at their conversation through the gap in the bamboo strips......

Wu Songkou arrived. Steamers lined up in long lines, and warships flying the five-color flag blocked the entrance to the Huangpu River. The sound of killing on the shore shook the sky, the sound of artillery came and went, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the south bank of the river, staining the winter sky black. The bodies of the dead floated on the river......

Shanghai, a paradise on earth, eventually became a battlefield for Beiyang warlords.

In the bumpy stern, there are only Qin Beiyang and Ouyang Anna, plus a nine-colored beast. was about to say goodbye to life and death in the flames of war, Qin Beiyang held her hand. A seventeen-year-old girl naturally understands that if you can repair in the same boat in ten years, what can you do in a hundred years.

The rain drenched their hair, and their fingers were interlocked, and Anna spread out her hot palm, but there was an extra jade ring—a gift from Jiuse's new master in Shanghai a few months ago, perhaps worn on the finger of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Anna, from tomorrow, I will go to Beijing, you and I are far away, see this jade ring, just like seeing me!"

At the mouth of the Yangtze River, Qin Beiyang's eyes were shining. Ouyang Anna was already in tears, opened her glass-colored eyes, and put this jade ring on the middle finger of her left hand - Jiu Se crouched at her feet to witness this moment, 1,200 years ago, this jade ring was worn on the finger of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty.

In the mist, Anna, with long hair flying, was like a canopy of fire, lightly opened her lips and whispered in Qin Beiyang's ear-

"The future is precious! He will meet again one day! ”
