"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, let's go into the cabin." Jin Qi stood beside Zhu Qizhen and whispered.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the little eunuch in front of him with some emotion and asked, "Jin Qi, you are also from Annan?" ”

Jin Qi shook his head and said: "The slave maid is an orphan who sold herself into the palace, and she originally had no name, but after recognizing Father-in-law Jin as a godfather, the name given by the godfather." ”

"Oh......"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and asked: "You said that you were a beggar before, but didn't the national dynasty have a workhouse to support widows and lonely people?" How did you become a beggar? ”

Jin Qi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Back to the emperor, the slave and maid can't remember what happened when they were young. For as long as I can remember, I have been kept in a beggar's nest. The slaves and maids also asked, but they only said that I was thrown by my parents on the side of the road, and they saw that I was pitiful and took me back to raise me. ”

For a while, Zhu Qizhen felt as if he had asked too much, patted Jin Qi on the shoulder comfortingly, took the fur coat in Jin Qi's hand, and looked at the water fixedly.

At this time, the night was just right, and a full moon hung in the sky, and the reflection on the water surface was broken by the ripples and shattered into a little silver light.

The waves in the river looked very small in front of this huge ship forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide.

This is a nautical weapon, the largest ship shape at present, the hull is covered with iron sheets, and there are three floors on it. In the early years, Zheng He went to sea, and if Zhu Qizhen hadn't come to Shaozhou, I am afraid that he would have to eat dust until it decayed.

"Whew~ Let's go back." Zhu Qizhen exhaled lightly and turned around and entered the cabin.

As the night was dark, the sailors in the bilge lay on the ground, and a man dressed as a sailor knocked the candle to the ground, and the small flames, aided by the wax, grew in size and gradually engulfed the entire cabin.

The man grinned, climbed out of the bottom compartment, closed the door tightly, and made his way to the deck as if nothing had happened.

"Two military masters, it's convenient for the villain to go." The man smiled flatteringly.

Although the brocade guard standing on the deck was a little strange, he didn't think much about it, but when this person wanted to come up and be lazy, he got out of the way.

Under the gaze of Jin Yiwei, the man untied his trouser pocket and turned on the "faucet", and when he turned on the "faucet", he turned around and smiled at the two.

The two brocade guards glared at the man in disgust, then turned their heads away, and heard a whistling sound in their ears.

The man saw that the time was ripe, the cat looked down, although it was dark, he was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, he didn't expect that he was afraid of heights, but now he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave, so he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and jumped down.

"Puff"

Hearing the sound in their ears, the two brocade guards hurriedly turned around, and the place where the sailor was standing was already empty. The two hurriedly ran to the side of the boat and looked down, the river was choppy, and there was no shadow of people.

"I'm afraid that person didn't fall, right?" A brocade guard said in surprise.

The other person shook his head: "Maybe I'm sleepy, and as soon as the boat shakes the person, he will be planted, this person's life is not good." ”

"What about us?"

"People have already fallen, just don't see it, after all, if you come up without permission, if we say it, we will be responsible."

"This ...... All right. ”

The two of them pretended that nothing had happened and returned to their duty positions.

"Strange, what's the strange smell?"

"Really? Why didn't I hear it? ”

The dark shadow under the water watched the ship go away, piercing through the mist and swimming in the opposite direction.

After a short time, a small boat appeared, and the man climbed into the boat and set his eyes in the direction of the big boat with the person on it.

At this time, there was already a fire coming out of the dragon boat, and a puff of smoke drifted into the sky in the moonlight.

The man who came to answer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's up to God's will, we should be safe now." ”

The sailor man began to take off his soaked clothes, and there was a sound of rustling, and the person who answered was just about to turn back to support the boat, but was stopped by the sailor man.

"Stand still, don't look at me."

The man pouted and said, "It's all men, or it's night, what can I see?" I ......"

The voice stopped abruptly, and the person fell into the water with a "poof".

The sailor man put away his knife, rubbed his frozen joints, and said softly, "I'm safe." ”

Then change into a clean set of clothes and steer the boat in the opposite direction.

On the dragon boat, Zhu Qizhen's nose was itchy for a while, and in his sleep, he rubbed the tip of his nose vigorously, as if he smelled fireworks.

"Is there a barbecue on the big night?"

Zhu Qizhen turned over, ready to continue sleeping, and then a spirit, quickly sat up, sniffed hard with his nose, and the smoke became more and more intense.

"Not good! It's on fire! Zhu Qizhen finally realized what the reason was, and also woke up Jin Qi on the side.

Jin Qi opened his eyes suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you thirsty?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said while dressing: "What are you thirsty, it's on fire, go and call everyone up, see where it is, and quickly put out the fire." ”

Jin Qi came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly agreed and ran out of the door, and as soon as he went out, he began to shout: "It's on fire!" It's on fire! ”

The footsteps outside were dense, Zhu Qizhen quickly got dressed, and the big ship was already in chaos at this time, obviously not just discovering the matter.

Guo Mao came up from the bottom, anxiously pulled Zhu Qizhen and said: "Your Majesty, the sailor's bottom compartment is on fire, the fire is too big to extinguish, and the emperor is asked to leave quickly in a small boat." ”

"Did the rest of the people scream?" Zhu Qizhen stabilized his mind and asked.

Guo Mao said: "They are already waiting below. ”

Zhu Qizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as no one was injured, he followed Guo Mao all the way to the deck, and as he approached the bottom warehouse, the smoke became thicker and thicker, and gradually reached the level of obstructing the line of sight.

When they came to the deck, Li Xian and the others were already standing there waiting with a disgraced face, obviously they had just put out the fire, and the little mustard in Zhu Qizhen's heart disappeared in an instant.

Some blamed and said, "Why don't you get on the boat first?" ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Qizhen took a few steps forward with some confusion, and when he looked down, it turned out that there was only a canoe-like lifeboat.

He wanted to scold a few words, but he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't say anything after opening his mouth.

"Please come aboard the ship!" Geng Jiuchou took the lead in kneeling, and suddenly everyone except Zhu Qizhen knelt on the ground.

"How come there is only one ship?" Zhu Qizhen finally came back to his senses and said incompetently and angrily.

Ye Biao kowtowed on the ground: "Back to the emperor, it's just that the time is in a hurry, and many of the due configurations have not been completed in time, it is a dereliction of duty, and the minister deserves death." ”

Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes in pain, it turned out that it was because he wanted to make a whole omission.

It may be that after closing his eyes, his mind cleared up, and he suddenly realized that the boat does not have to be sitting, it is good to have buoyancy, and the tables, chairs and benches are not all "life jackets".

The others seem to be used to being comfortable, and no one even thinks about it, or maybe everyone knows how to swim, so they didn't take it seriously.

In short, under Zhu Qizhen's reminder, after being busy for a while, Jin Yiwei finally floated in the water with all kinds of wood.

Zhu Qizhen did not sit on the boat, but soaked in the water with the hull of the boat with a group of ministers, and the big boat in the distance was burning with a raging fire and sank to the bottom of the water.

"Let's go!" Zhu Qizhen said coldly, he wanted to see what bull ghosts and snake gods were in front of him?!!!
