"Qing'er, are you feeling better?" Ye Cheng stopped and asked at the door. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Actually, it's not a big deal, but the old lady just now had to let me lie down for a day. Zhong Qing heard Ye Cheng's voice, sat up from the bed, and lifted the veil.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhong Qing was fine, and then felt very guilty, and couldn't help but say: "If I hadn't insisted on coming back, you wouldn't have to take risks yourself, just in case...... I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"That's not bad, so you'll remember me for the rest of your life. Zhong Qing said with a smile.

"Qing'er, in the future, I will learn more martial arts from my master, so that I can protect you. Because of Zhong Qing's words, Ye Cheng felt a burst of warmth.

"With your enthusiasm, help everywhere, I'm afraid it's not enough to learn some martial arts, if you can learn all the martial arts of the six knights, maybe you can protect me. Zhong Qing said with a smile.

"Aren't you as warm-hearted as me? Otherwise, how could you save that sloppy little flower child who has never met before on the Yingtian Ancient Road. Ye Cheng quipped.

"Then I didn't suffer a loss, and it turned out later that the little Hanako I saved was handsome and resolute, and maybe he could become a great character in the future. ”

Listening to Zhong Qing's words, Ye Cheng suddenly remembered someone in his heart.

"Amazing Character ......"

When it comes to today's great figures, who can compare to Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor? And this greatest figure in the world is precisely his father. But what should he do with this father who gave birth to him but did not raise him, and even killed him?

Zhong Qing saw that Ye Cheng's face suddenly became solemn, and he seemed to be thoughtful, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Ye, are you okay?" ”

Ye Cheng suddenly came back to his senses, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, Qing'er, don't worry about me, but the master and his old man don't know if they have found Senior Dai, and there is one more thing, I haven't figured it out yet." ”

Zhong Qing asked, "What can make you so puzzling?"

"You forget, we heard Youling's shouting when we were playing in the mountains, and when we passed, we found that there were herbs left by Dai seniors under the tree......"

"Yes, let's follow those herbs to find it, but we found that there is no trace by the river, there is still some distance from the river, how can there be no footprints?"

Ye Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, this is exactly what I wondered, why did I get to the shore but there was no trace, if I got on the boat, it was impossible to jump up such a long distance, but if I walked, how could there be no footprints on the damp and soft shore." ”

Zhong Qing jumped up from the side of the bed after hearing this, walked over and patted Ye Cheng's shoulder and said, "Okay, instead of guessing here, why don't we go back to the place where General Huo sent us now, and go to find the master and Grandpa Dai, and it will be clear if you ask?"

"Okay, I'll ask Master Zheng what arrangements are made first. Ye Cheng took Zhong Qing's hand and said as he walked out.

"We can go wherever we want, come and go freely, why ask him?" Zhong Qing was puzzled.

Ye Cheng said softly: "Because I still have two plans, I need that Lord Zheng to help me." Qing'er, don't ask what the plan is, I'll tell you when the time comes. ”

Zhong Qing nodded thoughtfully, and couldn't help but guess what new ideas Ye Cheng had in the end.

Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing returned to the shore hand in hand, and found that Zheng He was still there to direct the investigation, so the two walked closer, and Ye Cheng spoke first: "Lord Zheng, the master is still on the other side of the river, and his old man's injury is not light, so he is very worried about it, and wants to visit it first." ”

Zheng He immediately said gently: "Ye Shaoxia, but it's okay to go, the army still needs to stay here for a day, now that the bandits on the island have dispersed, this place can no longer become a borderless place, I should arrange for people to be stationed here, and wait for someone to return to the saint, and then make a decision." In addition, there is a reluctant request, I hope Ye Shaoxia can agree. ”

Ye Cheng had already guessed a few points in his heart, and immediately smiled: "Lord Zheng, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Ye Shaoxia is a young talent, strong in martial arts, and has a warm heart, which makes Zheng very admired, and he goes south to the island countries, and the journey is difficult, so he is very much looking forward to the young man being able to walk with Zheng, but on the day of his triumphant return, Zheng will definitely report to the court and knight the young man, I don't know what to do?"

Zhong Qing just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Ye Cheng, only to see Ye Cheng immediately smiled: "Lord Zheng is heroic and heroic, and he has also experienced it in the next, and it is very good to be able to go to Sanfo Island with Lord Zheng to rescue those captive children. ”

Zheng He was naturally overjoyed when he saw Ye Cheng's readily agreed, and immediately promised that when he returned to the north, he would definitely report to the Son of Heaven and meet Ye Cheng in the Jinluan Palace.

After Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing said goodbye to Zheng He, they found Huo Ran and asked where Dai Sigong's cave was hidden, so they set off to return. Zhong Qing couldn't help but ask when there was no one, "Brother Ye, are you going to be an official?"

Ye Chengdao: "How is this possible?"

"Then didn't you agree to that Zheng He just now?" Zhong Qing asked with a wink.

"It's not my wish to be an official, I just want to see my father. Ye Cheng said quietly.

Zhong Qing was a little angry and said: "People say that tigers don't eat their children, but your father can even think of brutally killing his wife and son for the sake of the throne, what can such a father do when he sees him?"

Ye Cheng smiled and didn't tell Zhong Qing what he was hiding in his heart, he didn't mean to hide it from Zhong Qing, but he was afraid that Zhong Qing would be afraid of him again after knowing the truth.

The two gradually reached the shore while talking, at this time it was no longer the same as when they came, there were many small boats floating on the river, and there were some scattered jewels and some corpses on the shore, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing took a closer look and found that these corpses were all dressed as visitors or minions on the island.

"I guess these people are killing each other in order to escape or take more money, right?" Zhong Qing looked at these corpses, and couldn't help but feel sick.

Ye Cheng sighed and said: "Come to think of it, the so-called greedy husband favors money, although it is said that money is something outside the body, but when it comes to the moment, money has become something more important than life." ”

"What a stupidity. Zhong Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Cheng saw Zhong Qing's serious appearance and quipped: "You, the daughter of a rich family, I'm afraid you can't understand the thirst for money of poor people." ”

"It doesn't have much to do with being poor or not, you see some people who are poor and are left alone. For example, there was a Fan Zhongyan in the Song Dynasty, who was poor for a while but did not lose his ambition, and once waited for a bowl of porridge sent by others to cool down when he was studying hard in the cold window, and then divided it into four portions by hand, and only took one part to eat every night, and finally did not become a famous big man in history? Therefore, poverty and wealth cannot become the standard for judging a person's good or bad, and poverty cannot become an excuse for a person to do evil. Zhong Qing talked eloquently, looking reasonable.

Ye Cheng looked at Zhong Qing sideways, he didn't expect this little girl to be so insightful, and he couldn't help but admire it very much, so he said with a straight face: "What Qing'er said is good, just now I Ye Cheng lost his words, and I am here to make amends to you." ”

Zhong Qing smiled and said, "Brother Ye, you look like an old pedant with such a serious look." ”

While talking, the two found a small boat, Ye Cheng helped Zhong Qing to get on the boat, propped up the oars with both hands, cut the water lightly for a while, and rowed towards the opposite shore.

Although it was described by Huo Ran, it was late at night, and now it was daylight, and the location was no longer clear, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing searched for a long time by the river on the opposite bank before they found the hidden cave.

"Brother Ye, Master and Grandpa Dai are not here, are they already gone?" Looking at the empty cave, Zhong Qing asked.

Ye Cheng was also puzzled for a while, thinking that it had been delayed for a long time, and the drunken Taibai Luli and Dai Sigong had already returned to their residence?

Thinking of this, Ye Cheng said to Zhong Qing: "Qing'er, let's go back to the house and have a look, maybe the two of them have already returned to their residence." ”

Zhong Qing nodded, so the two of them hurried towards the house.

When they opened the door of the house, the two were even more surprised, but they saw that the house was also empty, and there was no trace of anyone coming back.

At this time, the two of them couldn't help but be a little anxious, looking at each other, and they were confused for a while.

"Could it be that Master and Grandpa Dai got lost, or did they wait for us and went to Chongming Island to find us?" Zhong Qing asked eagerly.

Ye Cheng shook his head and said: "Master and Senior Dai are both people who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and the two of them are very familiar with the terrain here, plus they live here, how can they get lost? If it is said that they are going back to find us, it is possible, but after that big battle, and the time you have spent applying medicine in the boat to heal your injuries, I have not seen the two of them appear, if they really go back, how can it take so long." Besides, after General Huo Ran rowed the boat away with you, he never turned back again, how could the two of them return to the island?"

Zhong Qing couldn't help but be a little anxious: "It's not, it's not, where have they gone?"

Ye Cheng also had no clue in his heart at this time, but after all, he was much calmer than Zhong Qing, and immediately decided: "Qing'er, there is no point in us looking for estimates here, it is better to go back to the boat first and discuss with Zheng He before reasoning." If he sends more people, maybe he can find the two old men. ”

Zhong Qing nodded, and immediately thought about it.

The two of them, who were originally happy, were like gloomy clouds at the moment, and they had unspeakable worries about drunk Taibai Luli and Dai Sigong. But there was no better way at the moment, so I had to hold the boat and row back to the island to do some more consideration.
