Throw it on a chair not far away, close your eyes and recuperate.

The next day, a ray of sunlight shone through the window and into the house.

Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes, got up to change his clothes, pushed open the door, and walked to the lobby, only to find that everyone, including Chang An, was already dressed and sitting at the table.

Jiang Chuyue's eyes lit up when she saw Ren Pingsheng's figure, her delicate pretty face showed a look of joy, and she said, "The prince is awake......

Ren Pingsheng wanted to ask, "Why did you get up so early today", but when he saw her eyes, he immediately reacted.

I'm waiting to take them to the beach......

Thereupon.

He didn't talk nonsense, and directly pointed out the topic: "Eat something first, and then set off together to go shopping in Lanzhou Port." ”

As soon as the words fell.

I saw Jiang Chuyue pick up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth, muttering on her cheeks, like a hamster, and said in a slurred voice: "People are full." ”

Side.

Mu Rou and Qiu'er also picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite lightly, and stopped as if they were full.

For those who have lived inland since childhood, the blue sea and blue sky are indeed quite attractive.

Before that, I was not able to come and see it for various reasons.

Now that I finally have such an opportunity, I am naturally looking forward to it.

Seeing them like this, Ren Pingsheng didn't say more, picked up two buns casually, and said, "Since you have eaten everything, let's go!" ”

…………

Early morning.

In the port of Shanzhou, the morning mist gently drifts on the sea, making the entire port shrouded in a layer of soft white.

As time passed, the sun gradually rose, the morning fog dissipated, and the outline of the port gradually became clear.

There are many small boats on both sides of the harbor, which are docked quietly and swaying slightly in the breeze.

On the sea in the center, you can faintly see some ships coming in and out, some full of goods, others carrying passengers, driven by the waves, slowly sailing into the distance.

Fishermen can be seen busy sorting out their nets, repairing their boats, and arranging their fishing gear.

Their figures look particularly tough in the sun, and their dark skin adds a simple charm to the bustling port of Lanzhou.

In addition, you can see a flock of white birds soaring through the air and making melodious chirps.

For the fishermen living by the sea in the era, all this is just an ordinary scene in ordinary life.

But for inland people who have never set foot in the sea, it is like a beautiful picture.

Mu Rou stepped out of the carriage, her good-looking eyes looked at everything in front of her in a daze, and a trace of trance appeared between her eyebrows.

On her side, Qiu'er couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that this is the sea, as the book says, you can't see the edge ...... at a glance."

Side.

Jiang Chuyue looked a little disappointed.

In her eyes, this so-called boundless sea seemed to be no different from all the lakes she had seen before.

But soon, she adjusted her mood, looked at Ren Pingsheng, and asked curiously, "Shizi, are we going to the sea today?" ”

Ren Pingsheng glanced at her and asked, "Do you mean going to the sea or going to sea?" ”

Jiang Chuyue was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Ren Pingsheng opened his mouth and was about to explain.

Qiu'er on the side took the first step and said: "The slave maid thinks that one is to the sea, and the other is to go to the sea by boat." ”

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a second, and bowed slightly: "That's pretty much it." ”

Jiang Chuyue let out an "oh" and asked again: "That son, should we go to sea today?" ”

Ren Pingsheng replied: "It depends." ”

After speaking, he looked at the busy port not far away.

There are several relatively large cargo ships docked there, and you can see them from afar, and there are many guards in light armor guarding the cargo ships, each of which looks like a tiger on its back, and its strength is not weak.

Counting the guards on the deck of the cargo ship, it is roughly estimated that there must be at least five or six hundred people.

This moment.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly understood.

Before the prefect of Lanzhou was dying, why did he write to Emperor Zhaowu, requesting that more soldiers be stationed in Lanzhou.

With such a large number of elite guards, if there is a trouble, the existing strength of Lanzhou City may not be able to withstand it.

But.

For these cargo ships, it is normal for them to have more elite guards.

After all, in these years, bandits and bandits can be seen everywhere, not to mention the unattended sea.

You don't have to think about it to know that pirates must be rampant, without these guards, what business do you do, what goods do you send?

Ren Pingsheng thought so, retracted his gaze, and looked to the other side.

The location of the port, with its deep water level, is able to accommodate some large cargo ships.

On both sides of the harbor, small boats are docked.

It's more of the fishing boats of local fishermen in Lanzhou, and they don't look much different from those on rivers and lakes.

"The merchants' cargo ships and the fishermen's fishing boats have their own positions, and they are quite orderly...... Although there are not many official arrests in the entire Lanzhou Port, there is no chaos, and it is normal to watch.

Looking at it this way, the death of the prefect of Lanzhou should have nothing to do with the inspection of Lanzhou Port, and the problem is still in the city of Lanzhou.

I still have to pay attention to the officials of the Lanzhou government, and I don't know if they will show some horses after learning that I have come to the port of Lanzhou.

I hope that when I go back, I can hear good news from Bai Ping and Murong......

Ren Pingsheng stood on a slope, carefully observing the scenes in various parts of the port of Lanzhou, and such a thought came to his heart.

It was at this time.

Jiang Chuyue's soft voice came from his side again:

"Shizi, can we go over there and have a look?"

Ren Pingsheng turned his head to look and saw her stretching out her hand and pointing somewhere.

It was the edge of the entire port of Shanzhou, and there were not many fishing boats in sight, and there were few people.

"Hmm."

Ren Pingsheng bowed slightly, and casually admonished: "Pay attention to safety." ”

"Remembered!"

Jiang Chuyue raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile, grabbed Chang An's arm, and said a little excitedly: "Senior sister, let's pick up crabs!" ”

Qiu'er looked at the two of them, hesitated, looked at her young lady, and said softly, "Miss......"

As soon as he spoke, he stopped again, and he stopped talking.

She also wanted to go to the beach with Jiang Chuyue to see if she could pick up some fun things, and if she could, touch the sea water.

However, on second thought.

The wind is strong on the beach, and the illness of my own lady can't stand the cold.

If you run away to play, who will take care of your own lady.

So, I swallowed back what I wanted to say.

Mu Rou seemed to see her thoughts, smiled and said softly: "Sister Qiu'er, let's go together, I can take care of myself." ”

Qiu'er's eyelashes trembled, and she said, "The sea is too windy, and the slave doesn't want to go ......"

said so, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at the backs of Jiang Chuyue and Chang An, obviously duplicitous.

Seeing this scene, Mu Rou thought for a second, lowered her voice and said, "Sister Qiu'er stays here, how can I ...... with Ren Gongzi"

Speaking of which, it came to an abrupt end.

It's all in plain sight.

Qiu'er was stunned, and then after reacting to what her own young lady meant, her eyes widened, a little incredulous.

Mu Rou saw her looking at herself with strange eyes, a faint flush appeared on her fair face, and she didn't speak again.

This time.

Qiu'er approached her and whispered, "Miss, don't worry, the slave will definitely drag His Royal Highness Chang An back...... Miss must seize this opportunity, I can't say ......"

Speaking of this, I felt a little difficult to speak, and stopped again.

After all.

No matter how you hear this, it seems that you are provoking the relationship between the prince and His Royal Highness Chang An.

Although it is for the sake of the young lady and wants the young lady to occupy some positions in the heart of the prince, it is still not appropriate.

Thereupon.

She didn't say anything more, but said, "Take care, Miss." ”

After speaking, he resolutely turned around and left, shouting at Jiang Chuyue's back: "Miss Chuyue, wait for someone!" ”

Just half a stick of incense.

There are only two people left on the slope, Ren Pingsheng and Mu Rou.

Although there is some distance in between, it still looks like a pair of lovers playing on the beach.

Ren Pingsheng was going to go to the port for a stroll, but when he saw Qiu'er leaving with Chang An and Jiang Chuyue, he was slightly stunned.

Qiu'er is gone.

Who will take care of the little celestial master?

As soon as this question came out of my mind, I heard Mu Rou's voice in my ears:

"It's good for me to sit here and watch the sea, official business is important, and the prince doesn't have to take care of me."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Official business? ”

Mu Rou looked at him, blinked, and asked, "Didn't the prince come here to investigate the case of the prefect's murder?" ”

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Why does Miss Mu think so?" ”

Mu Rou said: "Because the prince has never been the kind of gentleman who gives up easily, there must be a reason for saying this at the inn yesterday." ”

Ren Pingsheng was noncommittal and fell silent.

Immediately after, I heard Mu Rou continue: "I think, His Royal Highness Chang An can also see it, otherwise, with His Royal Highness Chang An's temperament, he would not accompany Miss Chuyue to the beach to have fun......"

Implication.

Chang An left just to make room for him to investigate the case, and he didn't want his existence to disturb him.

Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng subconsciously looked at the beach not far away.

Chang An, who was wearing a moon-white long dress, walked slowly, tall and slender, and a back figure alone was eye-catching.

A few breaths later.

Ren Pingsheng retracted his gaze, sat down, and said, "I'm here today just to understand the situation in the port, and it's about the same to look at, and there's nothing to check." ”

Mu Rou asked softly: "Ren Gongzi doesn't plan to find a few boatmen, ask if there is anything abnormal in the port these days?" ”

Ren Pingsheng was slightly stunned.

He really hadn't thought about it.

After all.

The prefect is dead in the city, and the boatmen of these ports can know anything.

But, on second thought.

The key to investigating this kind of unsolved case with no beginning or end is not to miss any detail.

It is no exaggeration to say that every insignificant detail may eventually become the key to solving the case.

That's it.

He no longer hesitated, looked at Mu Rou, and said, "Thank you Miss Mu for reminding me." ”

After a pause, he asked again, "Do you want Miss Mu to join me?" ”

Although Mu Rou's strength after the outbreak is comparable to that of a powerhouse in the transcendent realm.

But on weekdays, she is seriously ill and weak, and she is still a little uneasy to leave her here alone.

Mu Rou looked at Chang An on the beach, hesitated, and still chose to refuse: "It's windy on the beach, so it's okay." ”

Ren Pingsheng didn't say more, took off the fox fur draped on his shoulders, spread it on the ground, and said, "Miss Mu will sit and rest, I'll go and go back." ”

With that, he walked towards the port.

Mu Rou stood in place for a while, but still sat on the soft fox fur.

The melodious chirping of seabirds can be heard from afar.

A gentle sea breeze blows gently and brings the unique freshness of the seawater.

She sat there, looking at Ren Pingsheng's back, her heart felt unprecedented calm, and her eyebrows were full of soft colors.

The other side.

Ren Pingsheng came to the port, casually stopped a hard-working slender man, and asked, "Inquire about whether there is a place to rent a boat here?" How much silver does it cost to rent a boat? ”

The slender man stopped and looked Ren Pingsheng up and down.

Seeing that he was richly dressed and handsome, he immediately realized that this was a son of a family who had come to the beach to play.

"This boy is going to the sea?"

Ren Pingsheng bowed slightly: "Exactly." ”

The slender man asked again: "How many people are there in Childe's party?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "Five or six." ”

The slender man asked again: "How many days will you go to sea?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "It's good in a day or two, it's fresh." ”

The slender man said: "Then it's good to rent a small boat, and it will cost a hundred taels of silver in a day or two." ”

Speaking of which, silence fell.

Ren Pingsheng repeated the previous question: "Where can I rent a boat?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket of one or two silver from his bosom and handed it over.

When the slender man saw the silver ticket, his eyes lit up, and after reaching out to take it, his eyebrows were full of smiles, and he said respectfully: "Liu Laosan can rent a boat there, and I will take my son over." ”

Then, he stuffed the silver ticket into his arms and led Ren Pingsheng to a certain place.

Ren Pingsheng followed behind, chatting casually: "My son heard that the climate on this sea will change, and after going to sea, if there is a heavy rain, no matter how good the water is, no matter how high the cultivation is, it will be difficult to escape death if you fall into the water." ”

The slender man responded: "Hui Gongzi, that's right, but after living by the sea for a long time, what the climate is, you can still see some of it, if you really catch up with the bad day, even if you give more silver to rent a boat, no one will take you out." ”

"I see."

Ren Pingsheng bowed slightly, and asked again: "What is the weather like these days?" ”

The slender man said: "The Sea Dragon King blesses, it can be regarded as a smooth wind and rain." ”

The true dragon can go up to the sky and the sea, call the wind and rain, and has been worshipped by the people of this land since ancient times.

In the myths and legends of the human race, wherever there is water, no matter the rivers, lakes and seas, there are dragon kings stationed there.

Today, the true dragon clan is close to extinction, but the custom of worshipping the dragon king is still handed down.

The words of the Sea Dragon King's blessing are often on the lips of the people by the sea.

Hear the words "Sea Dragon King".

Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but think of the only real dragon left in the world, Mo Qian.

I don't know how she plans to take revenge on herself when she suffered a loss last time......

Then again.

Emperor Zhaowu has already signed an agreement with the demon clan.

Why is the Demon Clan Mission still in Jingshi?

Could it be that they plan to live in Jingshi permanently?

I thought about it for a while.

Ren Pingsheng abandoned his distracting thoughts, looked at a group of Hu people passing by, and asked the slender man casually: "There are usually a lot of Hu people here?" ”
