Chapter 139: The Post Station Greets
At this time, Gao Shuyun came over from the other end of the boat, although his marriage to Ming Yushi was only part of Concubine Hua Yun's conspiracy, but after all, they were a formal couple who were married to Ming Media and had visited the cave room, Gao Shuyun's heartfelt true feelings for Ming Yushi had never changed even when she was most misunderstood.

Duan Qianqiu knew that Gao Shuyun must have a lot of things to say to Master Ming Yu, so he planned to walk away.
But Master Ming suddenly said to him, "Please slow down and then go!"
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to face him alone. ”
"......" Duan Qianqiu wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into silence.
"He was so kind to me that I felt dirty!" As Gao Shuyun got closer and closer, the pain on Ming Yushi's face deepened.
At this time, someone under the boat suddenly shouted: "Please Duan Qianqiu Master Duan get off the boat!"
Duan Qianqiu looked back at the person shouting under the boat, but it turned out to be Lin Shanhe of the Giant Whale Gang.
Since he landed on the island, Lin Shanhe has been following Duan Yuhuang and has never left, but now he is alone, and there is no trace of Duan Yuhuang beside him.
Duan Qianqiu came to Lin Shanhe, Lin Shanhe didn't say anything else, just handed him a letter, and walked away silently. Duan Qianqiu opened the letter and looked at it, it read: "My heart is very comforted!" There was no signature and no payment.
But Duan Qianqiu knew that this was his grandfather's handwriting, and he opened his eyes again, hoping to see his grandfather's figure, but his grandfather was not on the shore, he stopped Lin Shanhe and asked Wu San where he was?
I saw that about one or two nautical miles away from the coast of Yeli Island, there was a ship sailing away, looking at the huge flag on the ship, but it was the main ship of the Giant Whale Gang.
"Grandpa is gone again! He said seven years ago that he had something to do and that he needed to finish it, and when it was done, he would come back to me. Now that seven years have passed, isn't his matter over yet?" Duan Qianqiu took the letter in his hand. I thought to myself.
"Set sail—" shouted another sailor aloud from the shore.
Duan Qianqiu came back to his senses, and when he saw it, it turned out that Ming Yushi's ship was also leaving!
Gao Shuyun waded back to the island from the shore in despair, and only smiled bitterly when he saw Duan Qianqiu. He lowered his head and paced towards his base camp.
"Is this the end?" Duan Qianqiu muttered, looking at this isolated island in this blue ocean, thinking of many things that happened after coming to Dengzhou Mansion, he only felt that life was like a dream, and life and death were like smoke. The many reasons for life and death can no longer be explained and relieved.
June 6, the 36th year of Dajing Tianbao.
As soon as he entered the boundary of Yehuang City, on the official road leading to the north gate of Yehuang City, Duan Qianqiu's Qincha honor guard opened the way in front, and his own carriage was in the middle of the procession, and now there were three people in the carriage, he, King Zhengyang and Cui Chengxiu.
In view of the chaotic situation of the Seven Seas Alliance, Cui Chengxiu regained the throne of the Heavenly King of the Seven Seas, and after hearing Duan Qianqiu's intention to come to Dengzhou Mansion to summon him, he completely understood the imperial court's ambition to open the sea ban.
He suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun, but he wanted the emperor to come and see him in person. He knew that this was too much of a trespass, and that it was too much to violate etiquette, so that he could suggest to Duan Qianqiu that he go to Beijing to meet the emperor and elaborate on his own advice on the blueprint of the sea area.
Duan Qianqiu naturally couldn't ask for it, so after finishing many affairs in Dengzhou Mansion related to his Qin mission, he set off for Yehuang City with Cui Chengxiu.
The Seven Seas Alliance has been on the edge of black and white for many years, and if it is as pure as a white lotus, no one will believe it.
In fact, the Seven Seas Alliance has been in it for so many years. It was able to run smoothly and expand its power thanks to its deep-seated collusion with the local government, which was actually a great damage to the interests of the imperial court. It was a great corrosion for local officials, but it was a great promotion for local commerce and trade exchanges with the open sea. In contrast, whether it is a crime or a merit depends on the choice of the court.
Duan Qianqiu, as a maritime envoy of Henan Province, had personally seen the Dengzhou Mansion's sailor disobey the orders of him, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, if this trend prevailed. The army, the country's most important weapon, will be defeated without a fight, and after the situation is stabilized, he will use the scepter of the Son of Heaven to exercise the power of the Qincha, remove the generals of the Dengzhou Mansion Naval Division on a large scale, and put the Dengzhou Mansion Assassin and his subordinate officials, who have a corrupt relationship with the Seven Seas Alliance, to prison and escort them back to Yehuang City for trial.
In addition to the large amount of grain and straw from the Giant Whale Gang that had already arrived before, the grain and grass of the ship merchants from all over the country were sent to the north of Xinjiang under the coordination of Cui Chengxiu, and the grain ships that were requisitioned and transferred from all over the Jianghuai and blocked on the canal were also dispersed by land one after another, and they were urgently assembled in the north through the sea ships of the ship merchants from all over the country.
According to the latest Tang newspaper from Qincha Xingyuan, the food shortage of the army in northern Xinjiang has been temporarily resolved, and the situation has stabilized. In addition, the dredging of canals in various places is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the grain and salaries of the major grain requisition areas are also being continuously transported to northern Xinjiang by private sea vessels. The whole situation continues to improve, but it can also be seen how far the imperial court's shipping affairs have been wasted!
The bad news is that the rebellion of Han Baohu in Jiannan Province continues to ferment, and they are backed by Tibet and rely on the topography of Sichuan to reach a stalemate with the imperial counterinsurgency army.
It was nearly noon, the Qincha team was less than thirty miles away from Yehuang City, looking at the willow trees on both sides of the official road, verdant and dripping, flowers like clusters, it was the most prosperous season, and the sun was fierce, scorching people, and the road was steaming, it was the hottest time of the year.
It has been more than two months since he traveled from the rainy season of Qingming to the middle of summer, and when he returned to the capital, Duan Qianqiu had a feeling of being separated from the world, especially when he thought of seeing Ye Chulong soon, his mood was even more exciting and sweet.
The three of them sat in the carriage, drinking cold sour plum soup all the way, chatting about their life experiences, which was also comfortable.
At this point, the team suddenly stopped.
King Zheng Yang lifted the curtain and asked the guard next to the car, "What's the matter?"
The guards hurried ahead.
At this moment, the guard of honor in front had already run to report: "Lord Duan, the emperor's royal car is in front of the post station, please go and meet you quickly!"
When Duan Qianqiu heard this, he glanced at King Zhengyang, and said in his heart: "Ten miles out of the city to greet each other, the emperor's face is really big enough." ”
Cui Chengxiu listened to the guard's words, looked at Duan Qianqiu and King Zhengyang and asked, "The emperor wants to see two adults, should I go too?"
King Zhengyang smiled and said: "It is you who the emperor wants to see, Lord Cui, we are blessed by you, the emperor is ten miles out of Yehuang City to greet him, and it is unprecedented in ancient times!" )
