The contents of the letter:

Mother's Blessing.

I haven't greeted him for many days, and my heart is very worried.

The weather has been changeable in recent days before the spring equinox, and I wonder if my body is okay?

The sea breeze in Chaomen City is slightly hot, although it is slightly humid, the magnolia flowers in the city have bloomed all over the garden, which is quite prosperous before spring......

Everything is fine now, don't worry.

……

On the night before the spring equinox, Qiu Shaohu stepped on the petals of magnolia flowers all over the street and walked out of the alley.

He had two letters in his hand, apparently going to send them.

However, on the envelope, the addresses of the two letters are very different.

A letter is sent somewhere else. Another letter, which is in Chaomen City, is estimated to be two hours apart from the time it is sent to the other party.

Why didn't he send such a letter in person, and he would have done it too much?

The oncoming sea breeze was slightly strong, and his tied hair was somewhat disrupted.

It is already close to the southern port, and the further you go, the more the sea breeze becomes more pronounced.

It was a little dark, and even businesses near the port were mostly closed.

But there is only one place, which is still busy moving the goods brought in from the port to the store.

Zhou Fuyun is here, after experiencing the disaster a few days ago, after calming down, he is glad that he can survive, and he works harder to take care of his business.

After all, he was also an experiencer at that time, and the tragedy is still vivid.

The corpses dragged out of the ruins, the East Street was almost a vegetarian, and the mournful cries continued in the streets and alleys for three days.

The survival of life is a gift from God, so why not try to live?

Zhou Fuyun continued to be busy with emotion, and someone patted him on the shoulder.

Turning his head to see Qiu Shaohu, he was so surprised that he was almost speechless.

"You ......" Zhou Fuyun desperately thought of the wording, "I thought it was ......"

"Think I'm dead?" Qiu Shaohu is lukewarm and authentic.

"No, no......" Zhou Fuyun paused before he cleared his thoughts, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving me last time." ”

Qiu Shaohu didn't say a word.

Zhou Fuyun was a little embarrassed, thinking that since the other party didn't take the initiative to mention it, it didn't seem that he came for the last time.

Suddenly thinking of one more thing, Zhou Fuyun hurriedly said: "I have been keeping the armor that Your Excellency gave me to save my life last time, and I am waiting to see Your Excellency return it to you again." ”

While speaking, Zhou Fuyun hurriedly went to the counter to retrieve a burden, and trotted all the way back to Qiu Shaohu to give it to him, and what was placed in it was Qiu Shaohu's fish scale armor.

Qiu Shaohu took it directly, and didn't say anything else, just said: "I have hidden the armor privately, you can go directly to the official family to report it, and the official family will naturally have a reward, which is better than me, a person of unknown origin, who will always come to you." ”

"Your Excellency is serious." Zhou Fuyun was sincerely afraid, "How can I do such a treacherous thing." If you have a request, you will not refuse. ”

"In that case, come out with me." Qiu Shaohu said: "I have something else to look for you. ”

After speaking, Qiu Shaohu took the lead and walked towards the other side of the street.

Only then did Zhou Fuyun react, Qiu Shaohu's posture just now was deliberate, all in order to let himself follow him.

But the words have been released, and at this time they can only keep up.

The masonry of the street was covered with a thick layer of moisture, and it was a little slippery to step on. When you get here, the harbor is close in front of you, and you can already hear the sound of the waves on the sea not far away.

"That, Your Excellency," seeing Qiu Shaohu walking closer and closer to the Caspian Sea port, Zhou Fuyun reminded him, "The harbor is under martial law these days, and you must not approach. ”

"Hmm." Qiu Shaohu agreed casually.

"It's dark today, if there's anything going on, it's better to come back tomorrow." Zhou Fuyun said again.

Qiu Shaohu didn't answer.

Zhou Fuyun was a little drumming in his heart, but looking at Qiu Shaohu's side face, he couldn't help but say again: "After I went back last time, I thought about it for a long time before I remembered, Your Excellency...... Did you have a relationship with me, just a month ago, on the ship entering the port......"

Qiu Shaohu suddenly turned around and almost jumped off Zhou Fuyun.

Zhou Fuyun wondered if he had angered the other party by mentioning this matter?

Unexpectedly, Qiu Shaohu suddenly raised his hand and gave him two letters.

"This ......" Zhou Fuyun didn't know why.

"You go over there, the letter office next to the harbor, and help me send these two letters," Qiu Shaohu said, "and then after delivering the letters, come to the other side to find me." ”

As Qiu Shaohu spoke, he pointed in another direction.

"Oh, oh......" Zhou Fuyun subconsciously agreed, took the letter, and thought about it? While walking towards the letter bureau.

The letter bureau and the place where Qiu Shaohu was going to meet him at the end were in two directions, and after the letter from the letter bureau received the letter, Zhou Fuyun walked towards the final destination, just passing by the gate of the port.

Through the empty doorpost, you can see the black sea inside calmly undulating, and on both sides of the harbor, the two guard cannons faintly reflect the luster of black iron in the moonlight.

A solemn atmosphere made Zhou Fuyun feel abrupt in his heart, he never thought that Chaomen Port at night would have such an aggressive feeling.

He subconsciously just wanted to stay away.

"Hey, you!" However, his route was still too close to the port after all, and he was stopped by the people who managed the port city, "What are you doing here?" ”

Because of the search for smuggled goods and the raid of the Langguo fleet, the guards of these city ships had been highly nervous for several days, and when they saw Zhou Fuyun approaching, they immediately surrounded him and interrogated him non-stop.

Zhou Fuyun could only explain while trying to find a way to leave.

He looked around, thinking about where Qiu Shaohu was and whether he could help him out of the siege.

During this period, the guards didn't have much suspicion when they saw him, and they basically didn't embarrass him anymore, but their attention was also attracted by him alone.

At this moment, Zhou Fuyun saw that Qiu Shaohu took advantage of the fact that the guards were all led over by him, and quietly sneaked into the port from the other end, like water melting into the sea, and disappeared into the vast night.

"Just leave if there's nothing to do, don't get too close next time!" The guards let him go at this time, but Zhou Fuyun didn't know what to do.

He didn't even know if he should continue to wait for Qiu Shaohu here.

……

On the other side, Qiu Shaohu entered the port, stood behind the shadow of the pillars of the large gate at the highest point, and observed every part of the port with a clairvoyant mirror in an unnoticed position.

The whole harbor was also asleep at night, quietly, without any abnormality.

The investigation was correct, Qiu Shaohu used his hook claw with the wire to let himself fall silently, and with his memory, he continued to move forward along the planned route.

But because he was wary of the possibility of people in the resting place at any time, he deliberately slowed down a little.

The amber eyes reflected all the details of the night, and the dangers that ordinary people could not perceive were all vivid in his eyes.

Walking to the first room in the port, Qiu Shaohu stopped.

It stands to reason that there should be someone on duty here, who can not only watch over the port cargo, but also warn the guards outside at any time.

Qiu Shaohu looked in from the side of the window, and he was slightly surprised to see the situation inside the carved window frame.

It was empty.

……

Beicheng, Xu's house.

"Father, don't you have to go to the port on an errand today?" Xu Ju asked while reading a book by the fire on the stove.

"I've had two days off, and I've got to come back with free time." Xu Yicheng sat next to his son and studied hard with him.

But he actually told a lie, and he left his post without permission.

The son studied hard day after day, and as a father, he couldn't be by his side, so he always couldn't get away.

Xu Yicheng's old father leaned on the head of the bed, looking at the father and son with a smile, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was asleep.

……

The place where someone should be on an errand was empty at this time, Qiu Shaohu was also slightly surprised, but it was also convenient for him to do things.

He climbed through the window and saw that the list of goods in the port was on the side for a few days, and thought that he might find any clues of a resting place in it, so he began to look through the records as well.

After checking it, I found that I couldn't find anything suspicious, and my fingers inadvertently touched the desktop again.

With a keen sense of touch, he made other discoveries.

Someone had just left some handwriting on the table with the barrel of a pen.

It seems that he doesn't want others to find out, so he doesn't write it in ink, but the slight dent mark left behind can't hide it from him.

With the tactile perception given by the Seven Killing Stars, Qiu Shaohu found that these vague words were connected to -

“…… Smuggling ...... in the port Strange...... Suspicious point - the city envoy Zheng Ling ......"

Someone suspects that it has reached the head of Zheng Ling, the envoy of the city?

No wonder I didn't dare to write about it.

Some people in the city department are puzzled about the smuggling in the past few days, and it stands to reason that only the most powerful city envoy can do so without a trace.

At this moment, Qiu Shaohu heard the sound of the bow of the boat breaking through the tide.

Another ship came into port, just at this time.

Qiu Shaohu looked through the window on the other side and immediately found that there were people carrying things down the brand-new ship.

It also carries the flag of the Roche Chamber of Commerce!
