To the east, a line of fish belly white was exposed, and the golden light dispelled a lot of the morning mist. Chu Yuan stood on the high platform and looked into the distance. Although he knew that Duan Baiyue's trip would not change much, he was still worried.
Ye Jin coughed twice on the deck and waved: "Come down and have breakfast."
Chu Yuan said: "Go, I'm not hungry."
It doesn't even eat? Ye Jin hated that iron could not be made of steel, and gritted his teeth in his heart, and wanted to shake his brother's collar.
Chu Yuan suddenly had a smile in his eyes and waved in the distance.
Ye Jin turned back.
Sure enough, a small boat was rushing towards the main ship, and when it was approaching the main ship, Duan Baiyue simply jumped up and leaped to Chu Yuan's side.
Ye Jin held the small white bottle, very angry, what's the hurry!
There are many soldiers around, so naturally the two will not be too intimate. Chu Yuan asked, "How are things?"
"Everything is going well." Duan Baiyue said, "Chu Xiang really tried to win over Wu Deng, but he was rejected. Wu Deng had already expressed his attitude last night that they would not help each other, but closed the country and waited for the end of the war."
"As expected, this result is not bad." Chu Yuan said, "You are also tired, go back to the cabin to rest, or do you want to have breakfast first?"
"There is one more thing." Duan Baiyue said, "I brought someone back to see you."
"Who is it?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue motioned him to look at the boat.
Miao Xin came out of the cabin and saluted: "The little monk sees the emperor."
Ye Jin was shocked and felt a little dazzled. Why did a bald head really appear.
Shen Qianfeng stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his waist, and pulled the belt around him with a slight force.
Ye Jin returned to his senses and narrowed his gaze a little, but he still really wanted to see it.
"Master?" Chu Yuan was quite surprised, and walked down the observation deck in a few steps.
The King of Southwest took a deep breath behind him and followed.
"When I was in Guanhai City before, I saw that the Nanbo Xiaoye Temple was covered in cobwebs, and I was still thinking about where the master went." Chu Yuan said, "But I never thought that we would meet here."
"The situation in the South China Sea is unstable. The little monk has some friendship with the lord Wu Deng of the distant Siam kingdom. He was worried that he would be harmed by a traitor, so he went to sea to protect him." Miao Xin said, "I happened to meet Wang Ye of the Southwest last night. Detective, just follow along and help the Great Chu Navy."
"That's the best way." Chu Yuan turned to look at Duan Baiyue, originally wanted to ask everyone to go to the front hall, but saw that he was looking around, so he was slightly taken aback.
Sikong Rui couldn't help coughing to remind you that you can be even more embarrassing.
Southwest King: "..."
Chu Yuan called the chambermaid and ordered him to go down and prepare a place for him, and said, "Master is tired after coming here, so I'll take a break from the fast food first, and then it's not too late to discuss things."
Miao Xin smiled, bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After he left, Chu Yuan asked Sixi to send two more breakfasts to his cabin, with three spoonfuls of meat sauce noodles, a spicy and sour Southwestern taste.
Duan Baiyue sat at the table: "Why don't you even eat, what time is it?"
"Did Miao Xin bully you, or did you bully Miao Xin?" Chu Yuan put his hand on his cheek and tapped the table with his chopsticks.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"Say." Chu Yuan said, "Otherwise I won't give you food."
Duan Baiyue raised her hand and surrendered: "It's really not bullying or not bullying, we've been in peace all the way, and he will tell me fortune at dawn." It sounds quite friendly.
"What did you figure out?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue said: "I didn't agree."
"I also said that there is nothing to do with each other." Chu Yuan sat beside him, "To be honest! Dare to deceive you, be careful I hit you."
"I'll hit you." Holding the person in his arms, Duan Baiyue was in a good mood, and took the initiative to move half of his face towards him.
Chu Yuan raised his hand and slapped it.
Duan Baiyue burst into tears: "Is it really a fight?"
"Come on!" Chu Yuan patted him, "It should be mushy."
"It's all right. I sent Kunda home last night. Kunshan went to the palace to invite Wu Deng. The monk also came along and said that he wanted to fight with the Chu army. Naturally, I would not refuse." Duan Baiyue said, "After all, you have often mentioned this person before."
Chu Yuan stared at him for a while, and then said: "After talking for a long time, the key point is the last sentence?"
Duan Baiyue cleared her throat: "No, no."
"Be careful." Chu Yuan slapped him on the chest, "Master Miaoxin is indeed a strange person in the world, so I am willing to talk to you often, is this not possible?"
"Success, why not." Duan Baiyue pressed the person into his arms and hugged him tightly, and hummed, "The monk said that he often went to your bedroom before."
"I couldn't sleep well, and there was no Xiao Jin by my side." Chu Yuan reached out and grabbed a strand of his hair, "You weren't there either."
Duan Baiyue wrapped his hand in his palm and softened his voice: "When you first ascended the throne?"
"Yeah." Chu Yuan said, "Closing your eyes is a nightmare, and every night you open your eyes and wait for the dawn. Later, Master Liu brought Miaoxin into the palace and listened to him teach Buddhism at night, so that you can sleep more peacefully."
Duan Baiyue sighed and kissed in his hair: "I just made fun of you, why did I eat a monk's vinegar."
"His internal strength is extremely profound." Chu Yuan said, "As soon as I arrived in the palace, I said that there were a lot of people around me staring at me. I didn't want to explain the relationship between the southwest and the palace, so I just perfunctory and said that it was someone from the Liu residence. In addition, he doesn't want to cause more troubles, so if he wants to talk to me later, he will avoid your eyes, not intentionally avoiding the Southwest House."
Duan Baiyue was helpless: "If you explain it in such a detailed way, it's really me being careful."
Chu Yuan patted him with a smile, sat up and mixed the noodles and handed it to him: "Just rest after eating, and I'll talk about it in the afternoon if you have something to do."
Outside the cabin, Ye Jin asked Shen Qianfeng, "Master Miaoxin, do you know this person?"
"I've heard of it for a long time, but it's the first time I've seen a real person." Shen Qianfeng said, "Nanbo Xiaoye Temple, in terms of martial arts cultivation, can be as famous as the Northern Shaolin in the arena. However, the monks are all secluded, and their wonderful hearts are even more magical. It is said that he is a peerless master."
"Just now, looking at the way he walks, his internal strength is indeed not weak." Ye Jin said, "Looking at the emperor's trust in him, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"Nanbo Xiaoye Temple has always had a tradition of serving the Rong and protecting the country, so it's not uncommon for Miaoxin to come here." Shen Qianfeng said, "As for temperament, you can know it after spending a few days together."
Ye Jin nodded.
"There is one more thing." Shen Qianfeng pinched the tip of his nose and reminded him, "It was fine before. Now that there are Master Miaoxin on board, you are not allowed to say bald at every turn, remember?"
Ye Jin: "..."
Oh.
Shen Qianfeng smiled and took his hand, and returned to the cabin together.
Si Kongrui sat on the high platform and looked down at each pair.
Everyone has become a relative, so why are they alone, no one even asks if they have eaten breakfast, and they are still hungry.
Sadness emerges endlessly, and it feels like I can sing a poem right away.
Xue Huaiyue ordered the fleet to turn around and head towards the White Elephant Country. Duan Baiyue had been outside last night, and Chu Yuan naturally couldn't sleep well. He could wake up three or four times at night. This time, he happened to take a break with him and didn't wake up until the afternoon.
"Dream?" Duan Baiyue straightened his hair with his fingers, "Frowning all the time."
"I can't remember." Chu Yuan rested on his arm, "Someone is playing the flute outside?"
Duan Baiyue paused and said, "It's a wonderful heart."
Chu Yuan sat up with support: "Let's go, let's go to the council hall together."
Duan Baiyue hugged him from behind, kissed him on the neck, leaving a light red mark, and just took the clothes on one side to help him put it on.
After taking a long nap, my head is also groggy. Chu Yuan washed his face and drank half a pot of herbal tea, but he was not able to wake up completely. When Duan Baiyue saw him lying lazily on the table, his eyes only followed him around, but no one moved, he was a little amused for a while: "Why, don't want to go out? It's better to discuss things tomorrow."
"As an empress, shouldn't I persuade the emperor to be diligent and self-disciplined." Chu Yuan pouted, "If you are like you, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the annals of history."
"That can't be done, I still count on this honorable ancestor." Duan Baiyue leaned over and took a bite on his cheek, "Get up and work."
Chu Yuan avoided him with a smile, and the two of them fought for a while, but their heads came to their senses. When they got out of the cabin together, they saw Miao Xin coming this way.
"Master." Chu Yuan said, "Is it still a habit to eat and live on this boat?"
"For a monk, it is enough to have a bowl of tea and rice and a thin table." Miao Xin said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
The sun was already sinking, and the deck was a little cool. Duan Baiyue was worried that he would catch a cold, and whispered: "Let's go to the cabin and talk about it."
Chu Yuan nodded, and sent Si Xi to invite the others. As soon as Ye Jin entered the conference hall, he saw Ming's bald head, and his eyes couldn't help but drift over, but fortunately he pulled it back in time.
Shen Qianfeng: "..."
A few days ago, Xue Huaiyue sent his cronies to inquire about the news around the White Elephant Country. It was said that after sweeping away the stubborn old officials in the Qing Dynasty, the fake Nawa did not play too many tricks, but the intention to make good friends with Chu Xiang became more and more obvious. The rest of the courtiers witnessed several bloody tragedies. Dare to object. At the same time, there are rumors among the people that the disguise art of the Southwest House is so amazing that even the memories of the past can be moved along with it. It doesn't sound like disguise, but like attachment. body.
"It seems that Chu Xiang is also worried." Duan Baiyue said, "After all, Xiaoxiaoer made a mistake and let us take back Nawa, Kunda and others. Now that there are rumors in Baixiang's country, this is even if we will be true. If Nava takes it back, it can also be dismissed as a fake, and when the other party's dark lines are added to stir up the flames, I'm afraid that the real will always become fake, and the fake will become real."
Xue Huaiyue nodded: "The last general is also worried about this."
Chu Yuan asked, "What do you think of Wen Aiqing?"
Wen Liunian replied: "The easiest way is to replace the fake with the real one without knowing it, just like the other party dropped the bag. In this way, in the eyes of the common people, no two emperors have ever appeared. It has always been the same Nava. And the reason why the temperament is so different is because I lost my memory before, and I remember it again, so I can explain everything in the past."
Chu Yuan smiled: "Not bad."
"Now in the white elephant country, it must have been three floors inside and three floors outside, and it is hard to guard against it." Duan Baiyue said, "It's not easy to break in, not to mention that the prince has changed his civet cat without realizing it."
Chu Yuan asked again, "Master?"
Miao Xin held the rosary in her hand and kept her eyes closed and silently reciting the scriptures, as if she hadn't paid attention to what everyone was saying. When I heard someone call, I just opened my eyes and said, "There will be a prayer meeting in the White Elephant Country in half a month."
"Oh?" Chu Yuan asked, "At the seaside?"
Miao Xin shook her head: "At the city's market, all the people will be on the streets to celebrate, and this has been going on for more than a hundred years."
Chu Yuan said: "Even if there is a festival, the precautions may not necessarily relax their vigilance."
Miao Xin said: "When praying for the gathering, all the people will participate, and the country lord will worship the sea god on a high tower. The tower is a wooden tower, and it is in the wind. Once it burns, the fire will rise in an instant. The situation is bound to be chaotic.”
Ye Jin was holding the teacup and sitting opposite, but there was a little bit of surprise, thinking that what a monk, he opened his mouth to kill and set fire, and he didn't look like Amitabha at all.
Miaoxin said again: "At that time, while the chaos is in front of everyone's eyes, knock the fake Nava away and take it away, and use this as a threat to negotiate terms with the White Elephant Kingdom."
Wen Liunian agreed: "This is also a way. Take the fake one away in public, and then tie it to a high place to show the public, the other party can't make another fake one, and send the real one back in a few days, not to mention We still have Naxi thorns in our hands."
"How?" Chu Yuan looked at Duan Baiyue.
Duan Baiyue smiled: "If you think it is feasible, I will do it."
"This matter is simple to say, but it is not easy to grab someone in front of everyone's eyes." Shen Qianfeng said, "Even if you really want to do it, you have to plan carefully, and do it with 80% confidence."
Chu Yuan nodded and ordered Sixi to bring a roll of maps. A few years ago, when he learned that Chu Xiang was supporting troops in Nanyang, he secretly sent people in the name of caravans to secretly draw maps of important towns in many island countries in Nanyang, in case of emergency. The wooden pagoda where the White Elephant Kingdom prays is located in the north of the city, very close to the coastal port. It is not entirely impossible to bring a person out.
Ye Jin took the opportunity to ask: "It is said that the master's martial arts cultivation is superb?"
Miao Xin said: "Your Highness Ninth Highness is wrong. No matter how high or low the monk is, as long as the emperor gives the order, no matter what he does, he should be generous."
"How many more days can I reach the White Elephant Country?" Chu Yuan asked.
"The army should be slower. If only the vanguard were sent to drive iron-clad warships, it would take about ten days to arrive." Xue Huaiyue replied.
Chu Yuan nodded, and after thinking for a moment, said: "Go and send Wu Sanlei and Senior Mu Chi, and then instruct the army to speed up."
