Chapter 180 Where did Wen Aiqing go?(1/2)
[Chapter 180 Where did Wen Aiqing go] Lord Wen is drunk
The big ship the two of them were on was to go to Nanyang for trade. It was more than 40 meters long and more than 10 meters wide. The hull pattern was complex and luxurious. There were people coming and going on three levels above and below. The day was as lively as the New Year.
"Infiltrate into the supply cargo hold?" Zhou Mubai frowned slightly, "It sounds feasible, but it's too risky. Beshawan is the other party's territory. No one knows whether there are mechanisms inside. If the tracks are exposed, it's afraid it won't be so easy to get out."
"This is the fastest way." Zhao Yue said, "There are so many fog outside of Besha Bay, which can make the other party relax its vigilance, and it may not be too cautious inside. Besides, since I dare to go, I will naturally be sure to escape unstoppable."
Zhou Mubai still shook his head: "Xiao Liuzi won't agree."
Zhao Yue laughed: "Could it be that Brother Zhou still plans to go back and complain?"
"But--" Before Zhou Mubai could finish his sentence, a girl suddenly broke in outside. She was about 17 or 18 years old, with messy hair and dirty clothes. She was so panicked that she almost rushed into Zhao Yue's arms.
"Damn girl, get out of here!" The screams and scolding gradually approached, and seven or eight men with servants rushed into the cabin. Finally, a middle-aged man in brocade came in, running out of breath and turned pale.
Zhao Yue frowned slightly: "What happened?"
"Young Master, please save me." Seeing that there was no way to escape and the door of the house was blocked again, the girl knelt down and said hurriedly to Zhao Yue, "They are bad guys, and they want to catch me and go back and ruin them."
"What are you talking nonsense?" The middle-aged man almost turned his back on his anger when he heard this. "You said you were willing to be a concubine and wanted to follow me to Nanyang. Unexpectedly, you were a thief. Please hand over the silver bill quickly!"
"Young Master, I was wronged." The girl didn't listen to him at all, but just kept pulling Zhao Yue and crying.
Zhou Mubai smiled and shook his head, pouring tea slowly by himself.
"Mr. Wednesday?" The middle-aged man saw him and immediately slapped his thigh, "The third young master has to prove it for me. Although I, Wu Lao Er, are a little lustful, I never do anything to force a good person to become a prostitute!"
Seeing that the two of them met, the little girl's crying became less and she raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yue secretly.
"Return other people's money back." Zhou Mubai said.
"I didn't steal." The little girl was stubborn.
"Go back." Zhou Mubai glanced at him lightly, "Otherwise I will throw you into the sea."
"You!" The little girl's face turned red.
"Hurry!" Wu Laoer stamped his feet.
The little girl was unwilling to do so and threw a stack of silver notes in her arms: "It's gone, that's all!"
Wu Lao Er picked it up and counted it, and saw that there were hundreds of taels missing. Although he was angry, he was not good at Zhou Mubai's face. Finally, he just glared at her fiercely and gave up, thinking that it was a bitten by a dog.
After Wu Laoer left, the little girl stopped crying and stood up and wanted to go out, but Zhou Mubai shouted: "Do you still have money on her body?"
"You have to care!" the little girl's stomach roared.
Zhou Mubai shook his head: "I didn't want to worry about it at first. Just look at your appearance, you know that it's definitely not a fuel-saving lamp. If you are extremely hungry, you may not do anything. This is not as good as on land, and you can let your mind do whatever you want."
"The road ahead is long. If you encounter a return merchant ship on the way, please go back as soon as possible." Zhao Yue also said, "Otherwise, even if you arrive in Nanyang, you will be lonely and helpless. If you meet a bad person, there will be someone who will be willing to save you."
Although both of them were kind, the little girl didn't appreciate it. She took two pieces of pastries from the table and ran out without looking back.
Zhou Mubai shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to her. The merchant ship will meet the Chu army supply ship heading to Beshawan in about two days. If he really wants to take the opportunity to sneak in, he will hurry up and discuss a complete solution.
In Dakun City, Wen Liunian was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, her whole body was warm.
"Sir." The secret guard came in from outside, holding a letter in his hand.
"Did it be written by the master?" Wen Liunian stood up.
"Yes." The secret guard handed him the letter, "and some wine and dried fish from Sakurajima specialties."
Wen Liunian happily opened it, but Yun Duanhun's handwriting was a little stunned. After reading it, his head buzzed and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"What did the boss say?" The secret guard was puzzled. He was happy every time he watched it, and even had two more bowls of rice.
"I left the seclusion early." Wen Liunian said.
"Get out of seclusion early? That's a good thing." The secret guard couldn't help but be happy, "When will you come back?"
"I don't know." Wen Liunian shook her head.
Secret Guard: "…"
have no idea?!
Don't say it's out of the wall.
"I went to Beshawan." Wen Liunian frowned.
"The boss went to Beshawan? For the mermaids' affairs?" The secret guard was also frightened.
Wen Liunian nodded: "Yes."
"This..." The secret guards looked at each other. A large group of people discussed it before, but there was no result. They just went there no matter how they said it.
"Do you have to go out to sea to dissuade me?" After a while, the secret guards tried.
Wen Liunian shook her head: "I'm afraid it's too late."
"With an adult here, the boss should not act rashly." said Secretly, "Maybe there is a complete solution, so there is no need to worry too much."
Wen Liunian nodded in depressedly, put away the letter carefully, sat on the threshold and continued to daze. He didn't even have the intention to eat the oily braised pork. He ate half a cold steamed bun for supper and refused to sleep in the middle of the night.
The secret guards discussed it for a while and felt that they could not persuade them. The state of Chu guessed that there were not many people who could reason with Lord Wen. It would be better to get drunk and at least have a good sleep.
Wen Liunian did not refuse, and drank it all in one go with a bowl of wine, thinking it was pretty good.
These jars of wine were brewed by Zhao Yue himself, and the taste was sweet. I originally wanted to give him a taste of it, but there was not much alcohol. So Wen Liunian drank three jars and ran to the cottage for more than a dozen times before finally falling head-on, getting drunk and unconscious.
The next morning, the secret guard carefully pushed open the door and saw that he was still sleeping soundly, so he felt relieved. He turned around and planned to have breakfast, but the housekeeper hurried in and said that the Prince of Chu came to ask for a meeting.
"Just say that the adults are sick." said the secret guard, "It is not convenient to see guests."
"I'm afraid it won't work if I'm sick." The housekeeper was frightened. "The emperor is about to enter the city. According to the etiquette, the prince must join the emperor and he will not be delayed."
The secret guard was stunned: "The army is here today?"
"Yes, Lord Wen has already received the news, but I haven't told you all?" The butler was anxious.
Secret Guard: "…"
Wen Liunian was still snoring with her mouth open. Not to mention the emperor, even the king of heaven could not wake up.
"Why just knock the lord out?" A secret guard suddenly had a whim, "I had a big bag on my head, and I said I had encountered an assassin." The emperor was reluctant to blame him when he saw it, and maybe he would give him a reward.
The others immediately agreed, then you go and fight.
...
Chu Heng waited in the front hall and couldn't see anyone. He was also puzzled. Seeing the city gate guard coming to urge him for three or four times, he didn't dare to delay any further. He hurriedly took his subordinates out of the city to welcome the emperor.
Above the official road, the sound of trumpets resounded throughout the four fields, the Nine Dragon Battle Flag covered the sky and the sun and flew in the wind. Tens of thousands of soldiers were wearing black armor, with uniform steps under their feet, and the team was solemn and solemn, like a giant dragon.
"Long live my emperor." Chu Heng had already led people to welcome the city gate. Some of them still saw the emperor again. Although they were kneeling and did not dare to look up, they could not help but find an opportunity to take a look. Unexpectedly, their eyes just happened to meet. They were shocked and they hurriedly knelt down honestly.
The surroundings were filled with solemnity, and the young emperor's silver armored sword was straight and straight, sharp and ostentatious, as if he was born to fight south and north, sweep thousands of troops to conquer cities and land, and regain thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
"Thank you for the hard work these years." After a long time, Chu Yuan spoke.
"The emperor is very serious. Governing the East China Sea is originally a matter of my own affairs." Chu Heng lowered his head.
At the gate of Dakun City, the words written by the Emperor who was written by the old emperor were already a little mottled and peeled off, dyeing the endless wind and frost of time.
"No gifts." Chu Yuan ordered, "Go into the city!"
"Yes!" The flag was flying freely in the wind, and the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him were shouting in an orderly manner, straight up to the nine-story sky. On both sides of the street, the people knelt down to greet him and were silent, but they were all hopeful. The emperor is here, and a good day may be coming.
After settling down at the inn, Chu Yuan asked, "Where is Wen Aiqing?"
"Back to the emperor, Lord Wen is sick." Chu Heng said.
"Is sick?" Chu Yuan frowned.
"It is said to be quite serious." Chu Heng said.
Ye Jin was also a little puzzled. He was fine before leaving, but why did he get sick and couldn't get into bed when he came back, so he said, "Wen's mansion is just across the street, I'll go and have a look."
Chu Yuan nodded and walked out with him.
So the others were a little scared again, knowing that Lord Wen was a favorite, but they didn't expect that he was so popular - he just wanted to visit him when he was just asking about the war in the East China Sea.
Wen Liunian was lying on the bed holding a quilt, still dreaming. The secret guard was still walking by with the sobering soup. He looked up and saw Ye Jin and Chu Yuan entering the door. He was as if he had seen a ghost and almost threw away the bowl.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jin leaned closer and smelled it, "a smell of jealousy."
"It's... jealous." The secret guard smiled like a flower, very natural, and not stiff at all.
"What's wrong with Wen Aiqing?" Chu Yuan asked with a frown.
"Go back to the emperor, Lord Wen... is a little dizzy." The secret guard thought about the words.
"Why are you so tired? You've been so tired recently?" Chu Yuan asked.
"I'm a little tired, why don't the emperor go to the hall to have a cup of tea first?" The secret guard advised enthusiastically.
Chu Yuan shook his head: "Where is Wen Aiqing now?"
The secret guard desperately asked Ye Jin for help with his eyes.
"You won't get the adult drunk, are you?" Ye Jin used his finger to dip some medicine, and then sniffed it suspiciously.
The secret guard laughed out eight teeth.
Chu Yuan: “…”
"Hu..." Wen Liunian slept so hard that she was slashing her face in her dream and drooled.
Chu Yuan stood beside the bed, feeling a little amused.
"Don't mess around in the future." Ye Jin helped the man to lie down. "Adults are scholars, how can they withstand three jars of wine?"
