Chapter 8 Eighth trip to sea

On the deck, people were crowded, surrounding the bow of the ship airtightly.The women whispered, appearing more restless than usual. Jiang Chenyu walked over, and when everyone saw her, they turned sideways to give way. After the crowd separated, the first thing they saw was a red dress. The red dress was already as rich as fire, but when soaked in water, the redness became even more eye-catching. It spread over the slender body like a cloud, intertwined with the black hair, bringing out a 120% enchantment, which made the man sitting on the bow have a Indescribable grace. He is extremely thin, the knuckles of his hands exposed outside the sleeves are almost transparent, his hands and legs are longer than ordinary people, when he holds the wine jar and drinks with his head up, he has a little more grandeur and unrulyness that others cannot imitate.He was obviously soaked through, but he didn't look embarrassed at all.

After he drank all the wine, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then turned his head, shook the wine jar at the crowd, blinked and said: "Twenty years of wine, it is really good wine." Jiang Wanyi stood aside, beckoning someone to bring wine again, took two big bowls, filled them up himself, handed one to the man in red, took one himself, and sat on the deck opposite him Said: "Drinking alone is boring, why not drink with each other?" The man in red glanced upwards obliquely. When he did this, his expression became indescribably seductive, which made the girls around him blush and their hearts beat. He stared at Pan Fang on the mast and smiled. Said: "This man seems to be of the same kind, isn't it together?"

Pan Fang lowered his head and looked at him silently for a while. Just when everyone thought he would not respond, he suddenly jumped up, landed gently, and sat cross-legged beside the two of them. Jiang Chenyu's eyes moved slightly, he walked out of the queue, took a bowl from the maid, put it in front of Pan, and filled the wine.Then he nodded to Huai Jin.Huaijin understood, and immediately went into the inner cabin to fetch the Guqin and came out. Jiang Chenyu knelt down on the ground, put the qin on her knees, passed her fingertips, and the sound was golden and jade-like. With the sound of music, the man in red immediately showed joy, and raised his bowl, Jiang Wanyi followed suit.Although Pan Fang still had no expression on his face, he drank faster than them, and he drank it all in one gulp.

Huai Jin stepped forward to pour the wine. Everyone around was stunned - they didn't ask anything, and they still didn't know the identity of the other party, so why did they start drinking together? The three sitting cross-legged on the ground, like old friends, you toasted me a bowl and I toasted you a bowl. After a while, the open space next to them was full of wine jars. Jiang Chenyu's ten fingers flew like flying, the faster she played, the faster the three of them drank, and finally, she picked seven, the strings broke suddenly, and the notes stopped abruptly, and the wine bowl in Jiang Wanyi's hand "sighed" at the same time. With a bang, it shattered into pieces, and the residual wine inside splashed out, staining a large piece of clothes.

He let out an "ah" and sighed, "Ah, this is my favorite piece of clothing." The man in red raised his lips and smiled, "I'll pay you one thing." Jiang Wanyi got up immediately, and bowed respectfully, "So, Wanyi will thank King Yi first." What?Yi Wang? There was a gasp all around. Is this man who looks dazzling and gorgeous, is He Yi, the king of Yi Kingdom? No wonder Yan Wang Zhanghua once said: "In the four kingdoms, the scorpion is like a thousand-year-old tree, and the sky is magnificent; , can be compared with me." When King Yan said these words, it was five years ago, and the monarch of the country of Bi was still the first emperor, Xiangshu.Hearing this, Yun Shu smiled, and added: "He Yi is indeed like the sun. And the place he resembles the most is - as long as the sun shines, there are businesses that are suitable for the country."

From the king to the pawns in the rich and affluent Yi country, everyone is keen on business.Yiguo's business travelers spread all over the four countries, and Yiguo's business is accessible everywhere. The capital of Yiguo is Hecheng. There are only 7,000 residents in the country, but 30,000 people from outside.Yiguo is neither broad nor strong, but with its essence, it can balance the world with the three kingdoms. And at this moment, this person whose hair and clothes are still dripping is really He Yi? Everyone stood around watching, with all kinds of expressions. But the person concerned faced the shocked and suspicious gazes of all kinds of speculations very calmly, patted his robe and said: "It's a pity, a pity, I am penniless now, and all my money and belongings were sunk in the boat just now..."

Jiang Wanyi smiled and said, "King Yi is rich in the world, what is a mere shipwreck?" "Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something..." He Yi said, taking out a golden abacus the size of dried tofu from his shoe, flicking it a few times with his thinner fingers than ordinary people, then raised his head and said, "Four thousand Six hundred and twenty-six taels. Thank you." Jiang Wanyi was startled: "Huh?" "Thirty bolts of high-quality cloud satin from the Weaving and Embroidery Workshop, sixty boxes of first-grade rouge from Nongfangzhai, seventy boxes of snow paper from the Red Bookstore, ninety baskets of Grade A tung flower oil, and other odds and ends. It's five thousand seven hundred and eighty-two taels of silver. Since you and I hit it off right away and you bought me a drink, I'll give you a 20% discount. It's a bit of a disadvantage. I only charge you four thousand six hundred and twenty-six taels Alright." He Yi held the golden abacus in front of him.

Jiang Wanyi was surprised: "But I didn't buy these things." "You didn't buy it." "Then why do you ask me for money?" He Yi pointed to the surface of the sea: "Because your boat turned suddenly and hit the stern of my boat, which caused my boat to crash into a reef, and all my belongings sank into the sea. I can't ask the Dragon King for this account, so I have to ask You want it." Jiang Wanyi couldn't help but laugh, and sighed: "You really deserve to be King Yi, the leader of a hundred merchants... Anyway, since you want it, it would be unreasonable for me not to give it to you."

He Yi narrowed his eyes: "Okay, refreshing enough! It seems that King Bi really knows people with his eyes and picked a good envoy." Jiang Wanyi pondered, "But I'm afraid the money will be given to you later." He Yi stretched his waist and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, just give it to me when I get off the boat." At this time, a follower rushed over and whispered a few words to Jiang Wanyi. Jiang Wanyi nodded, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I have some trivial matters to deal with, let me leave first." He Yi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of asking for himself, watched Jiang Wanyi turn and leave, then turned his gaze back to Jiang Chenyu: "Today I am honored to listen to the sound of the girl's piano, it really makes people not know the taste of meat in March. Your qin is old, I wonder if Xiao Wang will be lucky enough to give you a new qin?"

Jiang Chenyu refused very simply: "No luck." Now it was He Yi's turn to be taken aback. Jiang Chenyu covered her lips and said with a smile: "Because I don't want to end up in the same fate as senior brother. If King Yi asks me to recover the loss of my body, what should I do?" He Yi laughed, blinked and said, "Good girl, you are much smarter than your senior brother." A maid came out from the cabin, bowed and said: "Hot water is ready, please King Yi take a bath and change clothes." He Yi got up, shaking the red clothes and said: "It's wonderful, it's ecstasy to take a bath after drinking, I don't envy the gods who don't go to bed early... Hahahaha..." Smiling, he walked away.

Seeing that the excitement was over, the crowd of onlookers dispersed one after another.And Jiang Chenyu stared at the direction where He Yi was leaving, her eyes were deep, thoughtful, until a light cough sounded beside her, she turned her head and saw that it was Jiang Wanyi who had returned. Jiang Wanyi smiled at her: "It's getting dark and the night is cool, why don't you go into the cabin?" Jiang Chenyu frowned and said, "Why did King Yi appear in Mijiang?" "There are two possibilities. First, he just came in from Qinghai; second, he is going to sea just like us." "No matter what the possibility is, the majestic King Yi has come to the country of Bi, but no one in the country knows about it. It's really..." Thinking of this, Jiang Chenyu had mixed feelings in his heart: the emperor's secret agents and his father's secret guards are all out of reach. One of the talents, I thought it was perfect, but I didn't hear any news before!If it hadn't been for hitting the other party's ship by mistake this time, I'm afraid he would have been kept in the dark.Moreover, is this incident on the rocks really just an accident?Could there be another mystery? Jiang Wanyi smiled and said, "There are even more bizarre things." Jiang Chenyu raised her eyebrows. In the twilight, Jiang Wanyi's smile looked a little eager, as if he had seen something interesting, and he was very interested: "The ship sank, and only King Yi was rescued. It's not that we don't want to save others, but—" He vertically He raised a finger, shook it at her, and said word by word, "There is no second person in the river." Jiang Chenyu was shocked. In the sky, the last ray of afterglow was finally gone. As night fell, the lights of the boat flickered, intertwining shadows.It was as if everything that happened at this moment was hard to see and guess. She didn't say anything, turned around and went back to her room, then whispered: "Come out." The curtain flicked, and two figures appeared almost at the same time, and they knelt down without making a sound. Looking at the two hidden guards, Jiang Chenyu felt very complicated emotions in his heart: on the one hand, he felt sincere admiration for the quickness and neatness of the actions of the two, on the other hand, he also had a hidden worry - he once thought that what his father did The trained dark guards are already the best in the world, never thought that the emperor's dead soldiers are no less inferior.If there is a conflict in the future, the consequences... I can't imagine. Thinking of this, she put the guqin in her arms on the table: "Did you guys see what happened just now? Help me see how the strings of the qin were broken." The two dark guards stepped forward, stared at the body of the piano for a moment, then both raised their heads, exchanging complicated glances with each other. Jiang Chenyu raised her eyebrows and said, "How?" One person replied: "It's not difficult to break the strings with internal force, but at that time, King Yi was three feet away from the master, and when he exerted force from a distance, the strings broke without vibrating, let alone hurting people, it required a very clever technique." Skill……" "That is to say, not only does he have unique skills, but he is also an unborn master?" The dark guard said: "If my guess is correct, he was attacking the three of you at the same time. Neither the master nor the Marquis knew martial arts, so one broke the strings of the zither, and the other broke the wine bowl. Compete with it." Jiang Chenyu recalled the previous scene. At that time, only Pan Fang sat there without any change and continued to drink. Presumably, he had invisiblely dispelled King Yi's strength. "But..." One person hesitated. "But what?" "This subordinate also found a strange thing. Look, the cracks in the strings are not very smooth. If it is a subordinate, it can be done more simply and neatly. This shows that although the other party's skill is light, it is not strong enough. However, as far as King Yi is able to test people from three different directions at the same time, his martial arts will never be inferior to his subordinates, so the subordinates suspect that... King Yi may have been injured, resulting in a weak follow-up." What?He is injured? But when I saw him just now, although he was embarrassed, he looked very good, and he drank so happily, he didn't look like a wounded person at all. What happened to all this? Why did King Yi test them?The outside world only knew that King Yi was good at business, but he didn't expect him to be good at martial arts. How could such an unfathomable emperor have such unfathomable martial arts?Also, why did the shipwreck save him alone, and he was injured again?Why did he appear in Bi Country?Did his ship really hit the rocks, or was there another reason? A series of problems troubled Jiang Chenyu, and an ominous premonition rushed into his heart.If I were Zhao Yin—Jiang Chenyu suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and his heart sank—— She may have underestimated the young emperor with a deep city. First of all, if King Yi really entered Bi secretly, then Zhao Yin probably already knew about it through secret clues, then, if she were him, all he had to do immediately was to assassinate He Yi. The most straightforward way to eliminate opponents has always been Zhao Yin's style of work. Therefore, Zhao Yin sent spies to attack King Yi, and King Yi's entourage was destroyed and exhausted in the process, and he was the only one left in the end—otherwise, as an emperor, he would never be able to go on the road alone. At the most critical juncture, King Yi found a good opportunity—that is, the official ship of the state of Cheng. The most dangerous place is the safest place.He simply pretended to be rescued on the ship, so that once his identity was revealed, everyone knew that King Yi had boarded the official ship of the State of Bi, and Zhao Yin couldn't do anything to him.Because, if the king of Yi country died on the official ship of Bi country, once the news spread, the two countries would be in chaos. It's over, we're all being used... Jiang Chenyu bit her lower lip, as if there was a hand in the dark, pushing away the heavy fog, and slowly forming clear thoughts. Good king Yi! What a "hey, picky, bright, bright" He Yi! It is true that the most shrewd people in the world are businessmen, and the most sophisticated are politicians.And He Yi, who is the most successful combination of the two, how can he be a simple person? Zhao Yin wanted to assassinate him invisible, but he didn't want his fleet to be used by He Yi instead, and became the opponent's safety talisman.It is estimated that he was so angry when he heard the news at this moment.But there is no other way, people are already on the boat, more than 200 people probably know that King Yi is on our boat by now, it is too late to do anything... unless... Unless these two hundred and eighty people are left behind, they will be the funeral objects of King Yi alone! Jiang Chenyu stood up suddenly, his face turned pale—it was not unworthy to exchange two hundred and eighty people for one person.Because, once King Yi dies, the country of Yi will be in chaos, and if the country of Yi is in chaos, the current state of harmony on the surface of the four countries will collapse, and there will be movement in Yancheng. Ignoring Feng Qiyun Yong for now, it depends on whether Zhao Yin is ruthless or not, and he is reluctant to part with these two hundred and eighty people. Pan Fang is the great general of the country, Wan Yi is the upstart, and she is the concubine. He should keep the three of them alive, but the others... If I were Zhao Yin, would I kill all the other people on board before the news spread, and then secretly replace a group of people to Cheng Guo?As long as the three leaders remain the same, other countries will not notice if the others change.As long as King Yi can be killed, everything is meaningful!If I'm So Yoon... If I'm So Yoon... The more Jiang Chenyu thought about it, the more frightened she became, her whole body began to tremble. Seeing her like this, the hidden guards looked at each other again, and called out in a low voice, "Master? Master?" Two drops of tears flowed out of her crystal-clear black pupils so unexpectedly, Jiang Chenyu grabbed the skirt of her chest and closed her eyes in despair - no need to think anymore, she already knew the answer. Zhao Yin will definitely do that. Tomorrow morning, the fleet will arrive at the last port of Mijiang——Tianchi Town, make final food supplies and preparations, and then officially go to sea and leave the border. I heard that the scenery of Tianchi Town is extremely beautiful, all the houses are built on the water, and all the residents go out by rowing boats, so it is also known as the water fairyland.Everyone on the boat has admired it for a long time, and they have been discussing going to see it for the past few days. I'm afraid that when the ship docks, what awaits them will not be the beautiful scenery of the fairyland, but the hail of guns and arrows. These people...these people who have lived with her on the boat since the beginning of the imperial capital, even though most of them don't know each other very well, some of them have patrolled for her, some rowed the boat for her, and even served tea. Water, who asks for warmth, now, when a catastrophe is imminent, she is about to become an unjust soul. When she thinks of this possibility, how can she not be frightened and sad? "No, I was wrong...it won't be so bad...I'm thinking too much...it's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." She tried to convince herself that there was a glimmer of hope, but the last three words The more he said it, the softer he was, he was so powerless that he didn't even believe it.What would she do if, as she expected, everything turned out in the worst possible way? To watch so many innocent people die? I can't bear it, is there any other way?Going against the emperor is a serious crime, and when the emperor angers the Jiang family, how will it end? Stay out of it, or give a helping hand?Is it for the sake of achieving great things without sticking to small details, or is it that human life is at stake so that people will not be ruined? If I were Zhao Yin... Jiang Chenyu's legs went limp, she slid along the side of the boat and sat on the ground, but the next moment, she clenched her fists again and staggered to her feet: Why should I be Zhao Yin?Why should I think in his shoes?Why should I think with his cold blood and cruelty?Why can't I be someone else, for example——Young Master? If I were a son... As soon as this hypothesis appeared, it was like a ray of light, penetrating the dark, damp and cold, bringing light and warmth, and the trembling of her body stopped miraculously. She held her sleeves and thought over and over again—— — If I were a son... If I were Ji Ying, I would definitely not let these innocent people die without knowing why. Young Master will definitely save them... Even if he missed the best opportunity to get rid of King Yi; even if Zhao Yin would be furious because of it; but, he would rather be ashamed of the emperor than of the heaven and earth—that is the son's way of doing things. That should be what she should do now. Jiang Chenyu brushed her hair, straightened her clothes, then opened the door and walked out.She already knew what to do next. The night has fallen, and in May, when spring and summer alternate, the wind is soft, the air is warm and the moon is bright. Jiang Chenyu walked to the main cabin, and told Lao Li, who was in charge, "Are we going to bring fireworks?" Li Guanshi quickly replied: "Yes, yes, the time-honored Buyejing's Fushui Fireworks are a must, and I specially brought two boxes for when I arrive in Chengguo..." Jiang Chenyu interrupted him: "Get it quickly." Li Guanshi was stunned: "Bring it? Do you want to use it now?" Jiang Chenyu looked at a certain direction and smiled faintly: "Of course. The beautiful scenery on a good day, the unparalleled guest, don't use it now, let's wait when." Li Guanshi looked sideways and found that the direction she was looking at was He Yi. King Yi had apparently finished his bath, changed into a new sky blue robe, and sat lazily on the railing, with his long wet hair hanging down, holding a jug of wine in his hand, but not drinking. The fire is bright and beautiful, and it seems a little quiet. His eyes fell on the sky without focus, as if he was admiring the moon, or just waiting for the wind to dry his hair. The aristocrats of the Bi Kingdom admired Confucianism and strictly abided by the teaching that "a gentleman is not powerful if he is not serious, and he is not solid if he learns". Jiang Chenyu walked over: "The boat is crude, I have neglected His Majesty, please forgive me." He Yi turned around when he heard the words, saw her, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "There are moons, wind, wine, and beauties. With these four sacred objects, how can we talk about the word 'simple'." Jiang Chenyu's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Maybe there is something missing." He Yi blinked: "For example?" "It's too quiet here." Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a long "swish" whistle behind him. The gorgeous arc light dragged the long tail and flew straight into the sky, and then exploded with a "bang", turning into countless dots. Light, reflected in the shape of flowers, then fades away slowly. And those flowers became the best background at the moment. She stood under the night sky, smiling faintly, between her brows and eyelashes, it was like the dawn.Bunches of fireworks swirled behind her, blooming and annihilating. The boat was moving slowly, and people on the river bank were attracted by the fireworks, and they followed the trail, clapping their hands and cheering. Everyone on the boat was also full of surprises, and they all ran to the deck to watch. The originally quiet and ordinary night suddenly became noisy, as if a sleeping goddess opened her eyes, everything revived immediately, flowers bloomed, birds contended, and there was boundless color. On the other side of the ship's side, He Yi sat motionless on the railing, quietly watching Jiang Chenyu, with an expression on his face that could almost be called unfathomable. Jiang Chenyu was not intimidated by that expression, she raised her lips and smiled again: "Your Majesty, this is a special program I arranged for you, don't you like it?" He Yi's eyes glanced at the fireworks in the air and the noisy crowd, and then fell back on her face, still calm. Jiang Chenyu said again: "Your Majesty will definitely like it, because—" She paused, and He Yi really said: "Because of what?" "Because, the four thousand six hundred and twenty-six taels of silver lost by His Majesty all ended up here." Speaking of this, Jiang Chenyu raised her voice and called out, "Guan Li." Li Guanshi was watching the fireworks set off by his subordinates, when he heard her call, he trotted over: "Yes, Miss Yu." "Did you see those people by the river?" "Yes, I saw it." "Send someone to take a small boat to take care of those who watch the fun, and charge each one a hundred taels of silver." "Huh?" Li Guanshi was completely stunned. Jiang Chenyu's eyes shifted, and he laughed mockingly: "How can there be such excitement in the world? You just go, don't be afraid. If they ask, they will say that the fireworks are specially prepared for him by the order of Yiguo. What follows the light?" "But, but... this one hundred taels of silver is, also, also..." It's too dark!Li Guanshi swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly.One hundred taels is enough for ordinary people to use for a year. "King Yi also said that if you can't pay the one hundred taels of silver, you can find someone to watch the fireworks. The more people you find, the more the one hundred taels will be shared. So, how much to pay in the end, It depends on how many people they can bring in before tomorrow, if more than a hundred people are called, then the extra money will be given to them." Although this order was very strange, but having been in charge of the government for 30 years, Li Qing knew that the less he knew about some things, the better, so without further ado, he turned around and went to do it. After he left, He Yi, who was silent from the beginning to the end, narrowed his eyes, the light in his eyes was faintly visible, and said slowly: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles..." "So, you don't even need to wait until tomorrow Maoshi, everyone within a radius of ten miles will know that His Majesty is on our ship." "My reputation is completely ruined." Fishing villagers is already the thing that makes people gnash their teeth the most, not to mention that he is going to other people's territory. "However," Jiang Chenyu raised his head like he did before, looking at the distant sky, "Tomorrow's moon will be rounder than today's. Wouldn't it be great to enjoy a rounder moon tomorrow night?" He Yi stared at her intently for a while, then suddenly laughed, the louder and louder he laughed, and finally jumped off the railing and landed, clapping his hands and saying, "Okay, okay! This deal is really a bargain! This is what I have lived for twenty-four years. , the most worthwhile transaction." Pause, look at her fixedly, look at her and smile, "You little girl is really interesting. You are definitely not an ordinary drug girl." Jiang Chenyu let out a "huh". "You're not Jiang Wanyi's junior sister either." Jiang Chenyu wanted to deny it at first, but a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he finally confessed: "It's really not." He Yi's eyes lit up, and when they fell on her face, they settled into a deep look: "Who are you?" "you guess?" "The steward of this ship is very respectful to you and dare not disobey you. As a drug girl, your status is too high; as an official, it is a pity that you are a woman; as a leader, you are too young; if you guess you are just a follower out of curiosity You are too smart..." He Yi shook his head when he said this, "I can't guess." In fact, it's not that he is stupid, but who in the world would have expected that the emperor of Bi country would send his concubine as a spy to the enemy country?Thinking of her delicate and embarrassing status, Jiang Chenyu's heart darkened, but she smiled and said: "It's okay, you can guess slowly. Because it will take more than ten days to go to Chengguo, if you can guess my Identity, I will give you three things." "What if I can't guess?" "Then you should do three things for me." He Yi's expression changed slightly, although he was smiling, but it was a bit weird: "You know, this kind of bet can't be played casually. I used to know a girl who also bet with others. If she loses, the other party can ask whatever she wants. At last……" Jiang Chenyu stopped him: "The last girl married the one who won the bet, right?" He Yi blinked: "So you know." Jiang Chenyu said sweetly: "I know." "Then, you're not afraid?" He emphasized ambiguously, stopped just right, and He Yi's eyes became brighter and brighter. "Why are you afraid? Being able to marry Yi Wang is something that many women dream of." Against the generals, He Yi was really speechless. After being stunned for a long time, he could only smile in a low voice: "Interesting, interesting... I really got on the right boat to meet such an interesting little girl like you." Jiang Chenyu looked at him and smiled, and said slowly: "There are still many interesting things, I promise, you will definitely make this trip worthwhile." The person who made this trip worthwhile was actually her. If Zhao Yin hadn't sent her as an envoy, how could she have expected that she would be able to get acquainted with the monarch of Yi country, and even saved his life, making him owe her such a big favor? By setting off fireworks, the people on the riverside were attracted to watch, and then they used very domineering power to collect money and made complaints abound.You must know the affairs of the world, the faster it spreads, the bigger the trouble will only be scandals.Therefore, accumulating money is false, but subpoenaing is true.When everyone knows that the king of Yiguo is on the official ship of Shi Cheng, it is useless for Zhao Yin to be cruel.Can he be willing to part with 280 people, can he still be willing to part with 2,800 people, or 28,000 people?The wider the spread of this matter, the more difficult it is to eliminate the evidence.No matter how angry he was, he could only watch the ship leave the country safely. A crisis has thus become invisible. I'm afraid that everyone on the boat who came back from the juncture of the ghost gate didn't know it.The only ones who knew about it were herself, and the seemingly heroic and unruly King Yi in front of her. A bet with him requires three promises. It's best to win, but it's okay to lose. Once her identity is exposed, what can he do? Does he really want to marry her?Whether she begged him or he begged her, once the bond between the two was created, it would never disappear.This is a peerless chess piece, if you can make good use of it, you will surely accomplish something in the future. And such chess pieces, on the other side of the sea, there are many, many... The bright night sky is clearly the same sky and earth, but at this moment, everything is different for her. In the beginning, her world was very small, only her own courtyard. Then one day, she accidentally saw Ji Ying, and an extra part of her world revolved around Ji Ying. When she was able to enter the palace, it expanded again. A piece is produced, but it is still narrow after all. But now, now she is standing on the bow of the boat, facing the river, all the starlight can shine on her, and the breeze blows over, sending the fragrance of flowers on both sides of the river.The future is uncertain, so why not have infinite possibilities?As long as she grasps these possibilities well, she will be able to have the ending she wants. Don't be afraid anymore. No more confusion. No longer shy away. This is her heaven and earth. To be a counselor does not mean that she surrenders to Zhao Yin, everything originates just to make her life better.And following Zhaoyin's arrangement to go to Chengguo is not really to help Zhaoyin succeed, but just to show his own value and hope to stand on a higher destiny.Just like her at this moment, the purpose of saving King Yi was to save the innocent people in this boat, and also to win another chance for herself. Such a vast sky and earth... Jiang Chenyu looked at it, and the mist slowly rose in his eyes. It seems that something is lost in the dark, and it can never be found again, and it can never be restored to its original appearance; but something else begins to sublimate, like a chrysalis emerging from a cocoon, turning into a butterfly. "Your Majesty." She tilted her head, "The night is long, do you want to play a game of chess with Ayu?" He Yi smiled, the corners of his eyes curled up, showing three-point joking, three-point complacency and one-point doting: "I can play chess very well." Jiang Chenyu smiled like him: "What a coincidence, me too." The night wind blows gently, and the river flows quietly. There were more and more people on the riverside. Complaints, pleadings, and noises gathered into the background of the two people playing chess, and together with the fireworks flying in the air, they were branded as eternity. At Mao on the second day, when the morning sun fell on the river, the boatmen carried boxes one by one onto the boat, arranged them in rows, and opened the lids. Li Guanshi, whose eyes were bloodshot and looked a little haggard, held a booklet and reported: "A total of 3,679 people watched the fireworks last night and handed in their cash. Except for a small number of people who have not paid in full, the rest have been confiscated." It's four thousand two hundred and nine taels of silver. The counting has been completed, please take a look at it." Jiang Chenyu looked at the boxes of silver and smiled faintly. On the other hand, He Yi, who was playing chess with her, changed his drowsy appearance, jumped up from the seat, rushed to those boxes, and said happily: "Very good, very good, I have collected them all, and they are all mine..." Wanting to reach out to hug, Jiang Chenyu winked, and the boatmen immediately closed the lids again. He Yi turned his head in surprise and said, "Isn't this for me?" "Who said it was for you?" "But you still owe me four thousand..." Jiang Chenyu stretched out her hand, and Li Guanshi knowingly handed over her abacus. She stretched out her hand and dialed it, and said while counting: "We sank His Majesty's ship, and we should compensate the ship's goods for a total of four thousand six hundred and twenty-six taels. But , Your Majesty lives on our ship now, eats what we have and uses what we have. Three meals a day are calculated at one hundred taels, and there are snacks, tea and supper, plus fifty. Add 80. I also need to pay the commission for the maid, and the reward for the servant..." He Yi became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Wait, why should I give money?" However, Jiang Chenyu ignored him, and moved the beads quickly: "Including the room fee, the total cost for one day is 311 taels, and if you arrive in Cheng Guo 15 days later, the total is 4,650 taels. Also, we are sending King Yi to Chengguo. King Yi is an honorable person, so if it is calculated as the VIP price, then an additional 1,000 taels of travel expenses will be added. After such a deduction, His Majesty still needs to give us 1,240 taels of silver. I Knowing that His Majesty has no money right now, it doesn’t matter, when the ship arrives in Chengguo, we will send someone to pick it up from the post station with His Majesty, and the labor expenses for the carriage and horses that we have collected by ourselves will not be counted.” He Yi stared at her blankly, after a long time, he let out a long breath, and said with a wry smile: "I'm going to jump off the boat right now, is it too late?" Jiang Chenyu smiled: "Hasn't Your Majesty heard of 'It's easy to get on a boat, but hard to get off'?" He Yi stretched out his fingers, pointed at her for a long time, and finally patted his forehead helplessly: "You are amazing, you are amazing, you play chess well, and you can calculate the accounts accurately. I am convinced." go. Jiang Chenyu called out: "Your Majesty, the game is not over yet." "No more! I won't give you money later if I lose. This king is going to sleep, and no one will bother you..." The voice gradually faded away, and several maidservants around couldn't help laughing together. Li Guanshi asked: "Girl, do you want to move the money to the bilge?" "You send a few people to stay here. After noon, return the money to the people." "what?" Jiang Chenyu smiled: "However, let's not say that King Yi paid it back, but that the emperor heard about King Yi's random collection of money, so he appropriated a sum of official money to compensate them." "Yes." Butler Li showed a clear look. Jiang Chenyu looked at the half-play chess on the table. In fact, she and He Yi were quite equal in chess strength, and Ge Ge could not decide the winner overnight.But he didn't go any further, naturally because he saw that he had received so much money, which meant that the matter had been spread widely and his life should be safe, so he sold his face to her and left the banquet. And I resolved a murder, although it can be excused because I didn't know that the emperor wanted to kill He Yi, but in any case, it was a big event for Zhao Yin, so I used Zhao Yin's name to issue this money to win him some praise. Buying some people's hearts can be regarded as a remedy.Now it's a matter of employing people, even if Zhao Yin annoys her, he won't do anything to her.If Cheng Guo's affairs can be accomplished this time, he may not pursue it as soon as he is happy. No matter what, things have been done, people have been saved, some things she can control, but there are some things she can't help but worry about, so let's take one step at a time. When the ship finally sailed to Tianchi Town, the town was calm and the crew was shopping and loading safely, Jiang Chenyu looked at the pier where people were coming and going, as if it was no different from usual, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of trance . Did the thrilling conspiracy last night really exist, but it didn't happen because she destroyed it, or was it just a nothingness that my sensitive and suspicious self imagined out of thin air? In any case, the sun is so bright, shining on the puffed arms of the boatmen, shining with the brilliance of sweat; shining on the smiling eyebrows of the maids, the soft words are as sweet as bells—life is so beautiful. As long as it exists, it is good. Thinking of this, she put up her skirt and stepped out of the boat, grabbed a handful of soil, and put it in the sachet worn at her waist. The sorghum is separated, walking and living. Bi Xi Bi Xi, my heart is choking. I wish my parents are healthy, and my kindness is more than kindness; Second, I wish the young master to be safe and to serve you with joy; Three wishes for prosperity and peace, when I return.
