As soon as the words came out, the others didn't react for a while, only Duan Yao was shocked: "Huh?"
"Isn't it?" Seeing everyone's hellish expressions, Yueluo was anxious, she liked Duan Baiyue very much, and it was not worth it for him, so she anxiously said: "This is only a few months at most, why do you remarry? Give it to others, even if you give birth to the child in your stomach first."
The ship was silent and silent.
Is there something wrong.
"You're a general, right?" Yueluo grabbed Chu Yuan's sleeve, "The big brother likes his wife, and every day is talking about returning to the military camp soon, so that the child can be born. But now everyone has remarried. , he must be very sad when he finds out, you have to persuade him when the time comes."
Chu Yuan took a deep breath and smiled calmly: "Naturally."
Duan Yao tried to interject to help her dear brother save the situation: "I said girl—"
Chu Yuan raised his hand, motioning him not to talk too much.
Duan Yao wanted to cry but had no tears, and wondered if his brother had broken his head when he fell into the sea, and he felt as if he was helpless.
"Then let's go." Yueluo said, "Don't follow, or if Grandpa knows, that big brother will be in danger."
Chu Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, girl, Chu Jun always follows his word, and we have no intention of disturbing your life."
Ah Chen clasped his fists to say goodbye, and took Yue Luo back to the boat.
Watching the two go farther and farther, Shen Qianfeng said, "Do you want to follow in secret?"
Chu Yuan shook his head: "I don't know where that island came from. If it was discovered, it would cause more trouble. If the two of them had the intention to hide it, they wouldn't admit it so readily at the beginning, just wait."
Shen Qianfeng agreed and ordered the army to retreat to the islands and reefs. Duan Yao stood beside Chu Yuan and said, "Is there really nothing wrong?" It was difficult to find out the whereabouts of her brother. What if she didn't follow him and something happened.
"I'm not sure." Chu Yuan said, "Following up and waiting for seven days are both risky, but you can only pick one that is relatively safe."
Duan Yao said: "Well."
"It's alright." Chu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "So many winds and waves have come, it's only seven days, just wait patiently."
"Okay." Duan Yao wrinkled his nose, and said again, "The words my brother said on the island must be for self-protection, and there will be no other meaning."
Chu Yuan laughed: "Otherwise?"
"..." You don't care, that's the best. Duan Yao coughed twice: "Then I'll go eat something."
Chu Yuan nodded and turned back to the cabin.
On the boat, Yue Luo supported her head with her hands, as if she was in a trance.
As Chen rowed the boat, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Are you really going to sneak people out of the island?" Yue Luo worried, "If Grandpa knows, we—"
"It's my business, it has nothing to do with you." Ah Chen said.
"Why doesn't it have anything to do with me." Yue Luo was anxious, "You fool, I'm worried about you!"
"I know." Ah Chen put down the oars, "I know who he is in the village."
"I know too." Yueluo said, "He said the day before he came, that he is a small leader in the Chu army."
"He is not a small leader, but a general." Ah Chen continued to row the boat.
"Ah?" Yue Luo was surprised, "Really?"
"He is the prince of the Chu Kingdom, his name is Duan Baiyue. When I went to sea this time, everyone in the Chu army camp was looking for him." Ah Chen said, "Otherwise think about how many people will die in each battle. , If it wasn't for his prominent status, why would he need to bring troops to find him."
"It's a high official." Yue Luo suddenly realized, but after thinking about it, she said, "No high official, grandpa will still punish you."
Ah Si was silent, just focusing on speeding up the rowing. Seeing that he didn't speak, Yueluo felt even more uncertain, she simply grabbed his wrist and said, "No! We have to discuss a way, even if we want to send him out of the stockade, we have to secretly send him, we can't let Grandpa and the others know the truth. Otherwise Let's go back? Find a boat to follow, and hide behind the reef—"
"I want to leave the end of the world." Ah Chen interrupted her.
"What did you say?" Yue Luo was shocked, thinking that she must have heard it wrong.
"I want to leave the stockade." Ah Chen looked at the sea, "I want to go to war."
"Why?" Yueluo almost cried, "A war will kill people."
"It's boring in the stockade." Ah Chen said.
"Who said it, it's interesting in the stockade." Yueluo knelt down opposite him, "Have you fallen for evil? We're going to get married."
"I'll take you to the military camp." Ah Chen said.
Yueluo: "..."
"If you don't want to go, then forget it." Ah Chen avoided her gaze, "Everyone in the stockade likes you, and there are so many descendants who want to marry you—"
"Hey!" Yue Luo slapped him on the head, "I kissed you, do you still want to marry someone else?"
Ah Chen: "..."
"But we just left, everyone will be sad." Yue Luo sat back on the boat, gloomy. The parents of the two families were shipwrecked when they went out to sea to fish. He and Brother A Chen grew up on the food of a hundred families, so how could they betray the stockade.
"Want to come with me?" A Chen asked.
Yueluo lowered her head.
Ah Chen didn't speak any more, just rowed back with all his strength. Driven by tides and sea wind, the speed of going back is much faster than going out to sea. It only took half the time to see the horizon. Fishing nets and sea vegetables were drying on the beach. The big guys were talking and laughing. When they saw the two of them coming back, they covered their mouths and made fun of them. They helped pull the boat ashore, slapped them twice, and urged them to go home to change their clothes and prepare for dinner. .
Ah Chen took Yue Luo's hand and sent her all the way home.
"Are you really leaving?" Yueluo asked.
A Chen nodded: "I will take people out to sea tomorrow night."
Yueluo slapped him in the chest, she was angry and anxious, she turned around and closed the door.
Ah Chen sighed, turned around and went to the entrance of the village.
Duan Baiyue was adjusting his breath in the courtyard. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said, "Why, did you quarrel with that little girl?"
A Chen sat opposite him and said, "I'll go with you."
Duan Baiyue was surprised: "Have you thought about it?"
"There will be strong winds tomorrow night." Ah Chen said, "Get ready to go to sea."
"What about Yueluo?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"She won't leave." Ah Chen said, "I want to stay in the stockade."
"Do you want me to persuade you?" Duan Baiyue handed him a cup of tea.
"No need." Ah Chen said, "She's fine to stay here, everyone loves her. Follow me out, I don't know what the future will be like."
"It's up to you." Duan Baiyue said, "But if I were you, no matter what method I used, whether it was coaxing, cheating or stalking, I would always keep the person I love by my side."
"Who is the person you like?" A Chen asked.
Duan Baiyue paused slightly and said with a smile: "Why, I heard the wind again when I went to sea this time?"
"I met someone who came to find you." Ah Chen said.
"Who?" Duan Baiyue's face changed.
"There are thousands of people in the entire fleet. One of them is very skilled. He should be the leader of the martial arts alliance you mentioned. There is another person who doesn't know his identity, but he doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. He cares about you very much."
Duan Baiyue's heart was tumbling, and she only wished she could not give birth to wings. After a long time, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Is he okay?"
"Okay?" Ah Chen felt that this question was a bit strange, and thought about it, "It's good."
"No wonder you suddenly made up your mind." Duan Baiyue said, "Thank you."
"Then I'm leaving." Ah Chen stood up, "I'll take you out, and you remember what you promised me."
"Naturally." Duan Baiyue said, "No one will ever disturb this village unless you want to do something for them."
Ah Chen nodded, turned and strode away.
The night passed very quietly, and the next day, the stockade was still the same as before, with the smoke curling up and talking and laughing. Yueluo sat on the roof for a while, feeling restless, she wanted to find Duan Baiyue, but she changed her mind before going out.
Duan Baiyue asked: "Really don't look for it?"
Ah Chen sat in the courtyard sharpening his knife, pretending he didn't hear it.
As it approached, there was a strong wind by the sea. Duan Baiyue had returned 50 to 60 percent of the time, and followed A Chen easily out of the house. A small boat was parked behind the reef. A Chen untied the ropes and pulled Duan Baiyue up. The two opened the cabin door. The curtains were all taken aback.
Yueluo was sitting inside with a small bag on her shoulders, her eyes resentful.
Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows.
Yueluo said, "Humph!"
Ah Chen scratched his head, but didn't say anything, but there was an indescribable joy in his eyes.
"This is not a place to talk about love." Duan Baiyue said, "Let's go first."
Ah Chen nodded, let him and Yue Luo sit down first, and propped up the oars by himself, and drove the boat away from the shore.
It was pitch black in the cabin, Yueluo took out a night pearl and put it in the wooden box.
Duan Baiyue said: "It seems that all the precious things are hung on the body, and it is the iron who wants to leave."
"You liar!" Yue Luo said angrily, "I trust you so much!"
"I lied to you, but I also helped you find your sweetheart." Duan Baiyue said, "Is it enough?"
"Not enough." Yue Luo patted the table.
"That's easy to do." Duan Baiyue said, "You saved the prince of Da Chu, and you will see the emperor in the future. If you want any reward, just say it. I will buy any house you want in Jiangnan, Shuzhong or Dali, the king's city. you."
"Your Majesty." Yue Luo was distracted, "I heard that the Emperor of Great Chu looks very good-looking."
"It's very beautiful." Duan Baiyue said, "But you are not allowed to marry."
"I don't want to marry, I want to marry Brother A Chen." Yueluo pouted, "And the emperor must be very fierce."
"The fleet you met a few days ago, was the person at the head fierce?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"You mean that big brother?" Yue Luo shook her head, "It's not fierce, that big brother is very good-looking and has a nice voice."
"He is the emperor of Great Chu." Duan Baiyue said.
"Really?" Yue Luo was surprised.
Duan Baiyue nodded.
"The emperor came to find you in person." Yue Luo was still a little bit incredulous, she actually saw the emperor of Great Chu like this, and she was a little annoyed that she didn't take a second look. After a while, I remembered one more thing: "But I still held his hand and asked him about your daughter-in-law. Are you alright?"
Duan Baiyue's expression froze: "Huh?"
"I was in a hurry at the time, and wanted to help you find out if your pregnant daughter-in-law remarried." Yueluo said, "Later the emperor didn't say anything, so I thought I had remarried, and it was not worth it for you, so I spoke loudly. some."
Duan Baiyue held her shoulders with both hands and took a deep breath: "Pregnant daughter-in-law?"
"Yeah." Yueluo nodded, "I also said, at least wait until the child is born before remarrying, I'm very angry. But the emperor looked kind and pleasant, and promised me that I would comfort you. But do you have a daughter-in-law? , Brother A Chen said you lied to me, you are the prince, will you really marry a cook?"
Duan Baiyue wanted to cry without tears: "You..."
"What's wrong with me?" Yueluo asked cautiously, "Did you say something wrong?"
"No." Duan Baiyue waved her hand weakly and calmed down, "Okay, let me be quiet for an hour."
"Oh." Yueluo agreed and sat down on the mat obediently.
Duan Baiyue wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, thinking that if it was impossible, she could only slap two palms on the chest and vomit blood and be seriously injured, so that she might be able to escape this disaster.
On the edge of the island reef, Chu Yuan was sitting on the bow of the boat watching the stars. Duan Yao brought a bowl of hot noodle soup over, saying that it was freshly cooked, and it would be nice to have a late-night snack to warm up.
"Go to bed earlier in the future." Chu Yuan said, "Let the chef do these things."
"That's not good, my brother will be back in a few days, and I will feel distressed when I see the emperor lose weight." Duan Yao said, "Before leaving, Brother Ye and sister A Li said that the emperor should eat four meals a day. Let's add some snacks."
Chu Yuan was amused and tapped his nose with the end of his chopsticks.
Duan Yao also sat next to him, chatting with him and watching the sea. By the way, he secretly boasted about his brother's deeds in the southwest, south and north wars, and even used a poem specially copied from Lord Wen, which is very advanced.
Chu Yuan was dizzy due to the noise, and fed him a fish ball: "Please, let me be quiet for a while."
Duan Yao: "..."
Really can't say anymore, there are seventy-two stockades in the southwest, just three of them.
After Chu Yuan drank the last sip of soup, he jumped off the side of the ship and returned to his residence.
Duan Yao held the empty bowl and tiptoed to look at the other side of the sea.
I don't know when my brother will come back.
The boat swayed with the wind and waves, Yue Luo leaned on the soft pillow, and felt that she was not as reluctant as she thought before, on the contrary, there was some excitement and hope for a completely unknown future. Listening to Duan Baiyue's story about the war, the whole day will pass before you know it. As the distance from the end of the world is getting farther and farther, the islands and reefs where the Chu army is stationed are getting closer and closer. In the early morning of the sixth day, Ah Chen lifted the curtain and said, "It's here."
"Wow!" Yue Luo couldn't wait, she bent down and got out first, and saw that not far ahead was really a fleet of Da Chu, and the good-looking brother from before was standing on the bow and looked here.
"It's the emperor, the emperor is here to pick you up!" Yueluo turned around, "Come on, come out and see!"
Duan Baiyue took a deep breath, tidied up her clothes, and before she stood up, the boat shook.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Yue Luo was taken aback by surprise, she quickly hid behind Ah Chen and pointed timidly, "Your Highness, it's inside."
"You two have worked hard." Chu Yuan said, "Let's go to the big boat first, Yao'er has already arranged the accommodation."
Ah Chen nodded, and flew Yueluo onto the big boat.
Duan Yao hurried up to meet him and asked, "Is my brother alright?"
"It's fine, it's fine." Yueluo said, "Aren't you going to take a look?"
"It's fine." Duan Yao laughed dryly. Well, I'm not going to watch it now, or I'm afraid I'll be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Chu Yuan stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and before he could see clearly inside, he was pulled into his arms.
Duan Baiyue pinched his chin, bowed his head and kissed it.
Chu Yuan stroked his side face with one hand, looked at the familiar eyebrows with the faint light of Ye Mingzhu, and finally closed his eyes gently.
"I miss you so much." Duan Baiyue's palm slid across his back, locking him tightly into his arms, never pecking and kissing at the neck.
Chu Yuan exerted a little force, as if to push him away.
"I know it's all my fault this time." Duan Baiyue tightened her arms and said hoarsely, "It's up to you to punish you when you go back. Now let me hug you first, eh?"
"Is your injury healed?" Chu Yuan sighed and ran his fingers through his black hair.
"Okay." Duan Baiyue's chin rested on his shoulder, "Don't worry."
"Go back." Chu Yuan adjusted his clothes for him, "Let the doctor take a look for you."
Duan Baiyue dragged his cheeks with both hands, bowed his head and kissed again, and just pulled the person to stand up.
"Brother!" Duan Yao waved.
Duan Baiyue raised Qi Yungong and took Chu Yuan to the big boat, staggering.
"Hey!" Duan Yao quickly supported him.
Chu Yuan also frowned, and ordered to go down and summon the imperial physician to come over immediately.
"Little devil." While Chu Yuan was talking to others, Duan Baiyue asked in a low voice, "Your sister-in-law is not angry with me, right?"
"What do you think?" Duan Yao looked at him with sympathy, "If I were you, I would have pretended to be dead on the way. That little girl was amazing that day, she actually asked him in front of her sister-in-law if she had remarried, and said Even if you want to remarry, you have to give birth to a child for you first. At that time, there were hundreds of people standing around, and everyone heard it, you think about the situation."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Chu Yuan turned back: "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing." Duan Yao grabbed Duan Baiyue and said solemnly, "Brother just wanted to vomit blood suddenly."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Duan Baiyue said: "Well."
