Liu Zhenquan and King Jing sat on the bow of the boat, serving freely on the side, boiling tea soup on a small stove, and putting ginger, red dates, wolfberries and other tea drinkers on the side.

"Poor Dao is terrified, I don't know what His Highness invited?"

"I suddenly heard the sound of singing on the river, so I wanted to meet the person who could sing this song. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation. ”

"I don't know where I want to go?"

"Poor Dao wants to go to Jiangnan and visit the old people. ”

"Oh, this trip is just back to Jianye, just in the same way. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. ”

......

The two talked a lot, and finally learned that Jing Nai was titled, and the prince was the third son of Emperor Dayong. And when he knew that he was from the Liu clan in Hedong, Zhao Defang had a good impression, but he was even more happy after hearing that he was from the same clan as Liu Wen.

Since ancient times, the people in the loyal minister's family will love the house and Wu, not to mention that Liu Shilang died in battle to protect the people of the city, which is admired by many people.

Even Zhou Yi's companion, who was wary at the beginning, relaxed at this moment, one of the Liu family came out with a Liu Wenzheng, for the lintel must attach importance to education, there are few people who do not learn and do not know, and secondly, the people of the Liu family will at least not let the court be ashamed and make a thing of assassinating the king and killing the fight.

This time Liu Zhenquan stayed more logical, for a few days Liu Zhenquan and Zhao Defang drank together, played chess, drank tea, and discussed poetry, Liu Zhenquan took advantage of the persecution of the primary and secondary school Chinese teachers in his previous life, and always appeared from the mouth of a good poem or two, which always shocked Zhao Sanwangye, and doubled the feeling that he was a person who was rich in learning.

And when Zhou Yi was accompanied by him, he always nodded unconsciously in agreement, His Royal Highness is not liked by the official family, so there are few capable people to help, at this moment there is a talent who is both civil and military, and has a family history, where can he be happy, at first I thought it was just a slang song, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness would be able to find such a mentor and friend.

In just a few days, the originally sad prince can show a smile from the heart, in fact, Zhou Yi knows that the prince is very miserable in his heart, thirteen years old than forced to become a vassal, and at the age of twenty he was recalled to the official family to accompany him, and now he has just returned to the fiefdom, and he has been entrusted with a heavy task to negotiate with the merman.

"Daochang Liu, you are an outsider, what do you think of the negotiation between Dayong and the mermaids now. ”

"Your Highness, Poor Dao has just come from Hedong, and I don't know about this situation, can you elaborate. ”

In fact, Lone didn't know the specific situation, but he only understood when he came with a summons. ”

"Your Highness, in fact, the old slave still knows a thing or two about this matter. ”

"The big companion can explain one or two things in the poor road. ”

"Actually, it's just a report sent recently, I don't know why, recently for some reason, a merman Jianye, occupied the waterway around Jianye, and even cut off the feet of the people on the ferry and put them back, making the Jianye area unpeaceful. ”

"Sharks?"

"It's the merman. ”

Liu Zhenquan fell into contemplation, there are sharks outside the South China Sea, and the water dwells like fish, and they do not waste their weaving achievements. When his eyes weep, he can produce pearls.

"Why are the mermaids here?"

"I don't know this, I've heard of it before, and it is said that the shark people live in many numbers, and the oil can be burned for a long time. ”

"Your Highness don't worry, this trip can accompany you for a while. ”

"Actually, Otomo has already helped me contact some strange people, but for some reason, they all left one after another, and some people don't want me to be happy when I want to come here. ”

"Your Highness's boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and you must see it to understand. ”

......

At night, Liu Zhenquan meditated alone, and after a while, a small snake swam in through the window.

"Master, I went to inquire secretly, this Jing Wang Ye is not wrong, someone sends a report to the palace every day, it seems that the situation is getting more and more serious, I don't know why the merman wants to cut off water transportation, and even cut off the feet of the people on the shore. ”

"Is it really that cruel?"

"I heard more amazing news on the beams of the house, I have gone to three groups of people to negotiate with the merman, and the result was all killed by the merman, and now the daily newspaper not only reports the news, but also urges the king of Jing to arrive as soon as possible. ”

"What do these mermaids want to do? Living outside the South China Sea, they have come here thousands of miles away?"

"It seems that the people of Dayong are asking to promise not to use shark oil anymore and not to use shark beads. ”

"It's true that there is no buying and selling, and there is no killing, and this merman is too upside down? ”

........

A group of half a month and a half finally arrived in Jianye from the land of Bashu, the Ministry of Rites and his party had already prepared the festival battle and seal letter that needed to be prepared for this trip, and had been waiting for the unlucky Zhao San Prince, to negotiate, and the officials who were selected to accompany this time were even more crying and sad, and many people were in a state of hangover and not waking up.

After the first three batches of officials were killed by the merman because of their low rank, all the officials heard that the merman changed color, and the people who were selected this time were depressed everywhere, and were told to accompany the unlucky King Jing to go together, basically had a live funeral at home, during this waiting period, with the meaning of living one more day is a day, there is wine today and drunk today, and singing every night, and even if the court officials know, there is no intention to stop it, who will not get along with the dying person?

King Jing Zhao Defang couldn't help but be angry when he saw this situation, he hadn't gone to negotiate yet, and the people on his side had no confidence, so how could they negotiate.

Liu Zhenquan whispered to Zhao Defang and said: "Your Highness can't help but let go of these people, even if these people go, they won't work, it's better to travel lightly, let them see the courage of His Highness, not to mention that Poor Dao and Xiaotong don't dare to say that they can protect everyone." ”

Zhao Defang nodded, and said loudly to the officials: "This trip needs to raise the prestige of our country, if you are a wanderer, it is better not to go, and you have the courage to follow with me." ”

After saying that, he took the festival battle from the side, and when Zhao Defang walked all the way forward, a group of officials looked at each other, but they still followed, but when they approached the ferry, there were few voices, and in the end, reason prevailed over courage.

Liu Zhenquan looked back at Zhao Defang's side, only three or two little eunuchs led by Zhou Yi, more than a dozen guards in the house, and the maidservants who accompanied the prince all the year round.

At this moment, Liu Zhenquan carefully looked at the people accompanying Jing Wangye, and said to Jing Wangye: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the bandang knows the Chengchen." Congratulations to the prince. ”

Zhao Defang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and laughed loudly: "With you all accompanied today, it is not worth the trip." ”

The people who were already mortal were also infected by the laughter, as if the trip was not terrible.

"Sir, why are they still laughing?"

"People can't lose their spirit, even if this trip is dangerous, they can't lose their integrity. ”

"But I still don't understand. ”

"Hey, why did you accept such a stupid boy, you will understand it after reading more in the future. ”
