Since waking up, King Dingnan likes to sit on the bow of the boat. Although the sea in front of him rarely changes, he still likes to see it.

"Lord, drink some tea." Guo Lin held the tray and brought tea.

King Dingnan looked at the sea and sighed, then turned around.

Holding the teacup and looking at the sea and the sky, King Dingnan took a sip of tea.

"What's that? Is it a ship? ”

King Dingnan pointed to a dark shadow in the sky.

"Let's take a look below." Guo Lin looked at it, "I can't see clearly, let Norma take a look." ”

Guo Lin put down the tray and ran back to the cabin.

After a while, Guo Lin and Norma came to the bow of the boat.

"Could it be an island?" Guo Lin said.

Norma took a cursory look and shook her head, "No." Our route is straight. The black shadow is getting more and more distant, obviously a ship. It's fine if they get around us, but if they're not honest, then there may be a tough fight. At the end of the sentence, Norma looked nervous.

After several days of sailing, Norma's fleet headed south along the sea route and had already left the borders of the Lebanese kingdom. This means that they have entered the sea in relative chaos. This situation will become more serious the farther away from Lebanon.

At the same time, there will be fewer ships to encounter. Of course, it's better not to come across as well. Because many ships are bought and sold without capital.

Norma was like that before, so she knew the dangers of this fairway. She pulled out a monocular, closed one eye, and watched the movement of the ship in the distance.

After looking at it for a while, Norma's face became heavier.

"It doesn't feel like a merchant ship. And there are a lot of people on board, and I feel that the comer is not good. Take a look, lord. ”

Norma handed the telescope to King Dingnan.

Since he has used it a few times, King Dingnan will also use this thing. He closed one eye and observed.

"The people on the boat, they are all busy. It seems that it is because they have noticed us, so they are like this. It shouldn't be a good stubble, so prepare early. ”

"Lord Wang, let's take a look at it below." Guo Lin felt a little embarrassed that he was being left out.

King Dingnan handed the telescope to the other party, and then looked silently at the ship that was getting clearer and clearer in the distance.

"The boats in the style of Ningcheng look a bit like those in Ningcheng. Could it be a mistake? Guo Lin put down the binoculars and said uncertainly.

When King Dingnan was young, he also participated in many wars. He knew that the more his own people, the more likely he was to be an adversary. He took the telescope back from Guo Lin's hand and looked at it again.

"This is the open sea, and the law of the kingdom of Li does not control these people. Maybe they just eat their fellow countrymen. If it's true, then this kind of person is quite troublesome. He knows some of the characteristics of the ships on our side, and he will not have the upper hand in a fight. ”

"Let's get ready. At the moment, although they only see one ship, they may not move it. But make sure you can fight back as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, lord." Norma agreed, and then ordered his men to prepare for battle. At the same time, she notified the ships behind her and prepared to meet the enemy.

"Xiaoliu's telescope, it's really good. It's a lot more practical to have this thing on the sea. King Dingnan looked at the telescope in his hand and couldn't put it down.

This telescope is Sima Liang, who was customized by craftsmen, and the lens is crystal polished, which is unique until now.

Originally, Sima Liang wanted to keep it for himself. But he suddenly wanted to send off the king of Dingnan, he was afraid of an accident at sea. So I gave it to Norma.

Running in both directions, the two ships got closer and closer. Through the binoculars, King Dingnan could see the people on the other boat, looking at his side all the time.

Getting closer and closer, King Dingnan put away his binoculars. He looked at the ships passing by not far away, puzzled.

"Lord Wang, they seem to be just passing by." Guo Lin said.

"These people don't look like good stubble. It is estimated that we are a little afraid of our strength and dare not do it directly. Maybe in the evening, or after a while, they will catch up. After all, we are in this fleet and we are carrying so many goods, it is impossible to go too fast. ”

"So in the next time, you have to be more careful." The gaze of the king of Dingnan was locked on the ships that were far away.

……

The blocked road was cleared, and Sima Liang's carriage moved again. Soon, we will arrive in Pingnan.

On the swaying carriage, Sima Liang's eyes were distracted. Since he left, he has been like this.

"Lord Wang, what are you thinking? Is it what Sheng Gongzi said? Yang Yu asked.

Sima Liang shook his head, "It's okay, I just thought of some not-so-good personal matters." ”

Everyone sees things differently depending on where they are located. Especially now that Sima Liang is getting higher and higher, some things in the near distance are not clear to see.

Sheng Ding just said something about the Tang family. Actually, it's not a big deal. is that some people frequently contact Tang Chong, probably because they want to contact Sima Liang.

As a businessman, Tang Chong will not explicitly refuse some people. There will be some people who are not very clear about their positions. Sheng Ding has met a few people who don't feel very good. So I talked to Sima Liang.

Let's go back and let my father-in-law pay attention. However, with his character, it is still difficult to avoid the calculations of some people. What to do?

As the Tang family who helped him at the beginning, Sima Liang didn't want to kick the other party out of the inner circle. But as Sima Liang rose to the top, some of the shortcomings of the Tang family began to show. Especially about the people Tang Chong came into contact with, it was not the first time that Sima Liang had received a reminder.

But Sima Liang has never been able to make a decision, so it has been delayed until now. But the current situation obviously can't be delayed any longer. So he's going to make a break.

Sheng Ding is really good. For Sheng Ding, who can say a lot of things, Sima Liang has a good impression.

"What do you think of Sheng Ding?" Sima Liang asked.

Yang Yu, who was still thinking about things, paused, "Sheng Ding is very good, after some things, he has grown a lot." As long as nothing happens, be cautious. I can walk to a relatively high position. Of course, it still depends on what the second prince thinks. ”

"You have a point. But I feel that I am still a little immature in Zhongdu. Maybe we should find a chance to get him back later."

Yang Yu smiled, then shook his head.

"Lord Wang, you're right to be worried. But if he doesn't let Sheng Ding go through it, it will be difficult for him to grow. Besides, with the relationship between the prince and the second prince now, it is impossible for Sheng Ding to have an accident. Even if you are a little sensitive, at most you will not be in an important position. Now the people in Zhongdu have almost been killed, and it is the time to employ people. ”

"A wide stage is the best time to show. Coupled with the immediate restructuring, there will be a large number of vacancies in official positions and new officials being elected. That's a network. With this kind of personality, it is easy to make a lot of friends. The road is definitely getting better and better. ”

Sima Liang thought about it and felt reasonable. He sighed and smiled.

"Looks like I'm overthinking. Forget about what you don't want to do, what do you think? Is there an option? ”
