At the end of the day, when Min'er woke up after taking a nap, Zhu Yunxuan took him out of the house. The child couldn't stay idle and always wanted to go out to play. He found it interesting to dig shells by the seaside with a wooden bucket and a small shovel.
Liang Zhen went to the military camp to deal with matters, there were only them father and son, Min'er squatted on the ground digging sand, Zhu Yunxuan sat by the side, blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun, the little doll was having fun, so she ran back with a bucket and gave it to her with a smile. He showed off his achievements.
"Look, Dad, my father said this is a starfish. I just picked it up and gave it to Dad."
Xiao'er showed him the thing with both hands. The five-pointed starfish was very beautiful and golden, and it was still a living thing. The child was not afraid at all, and asked Zhu Yunxuan excitedly: "Daddy, is it beautiful?"
"Looks good, thank you, good baby." Zhu Yunxuan nodded his son's nose affectionately, took the things over, put them aside, and wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief.
The child grabbed Zhu Yunxuan's neck, raised his little head and kissed him resoundingly on the face, and rolled his eyes with a smile.
Zhu Yunxuan raised the corners of her lips lightly, and praised him with a smile: "Good baby."
While the father and son were talking and laughing, there was a boat docking on the pier in the distance. Zhu Yunxuan glanced at it. It was an inconspicuous fishing boat. It was still early, and it was not yet time for the fishing boats to return to the island. I glanced twice.
Seeing clearly the attire of the people who got off the boat, Zhu Yunxuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and gradually turned cold.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?"
It wasn't until Min'er pushed his arm that Zhu Yunxuan came back to his senses, the expression on his face softened again, and he patted his son's head lightly: "It's okay, you play with yourself."
A total of three people got off the boat. Although they were far away, Zhu Yunxuan recognized them at a glance. The clothes and attire of these people were very similar to the remnants of the former dynasty that the Quanzhou navy captured that day. He greeted them on the pier He also recognized the person, who was one of Liang Zhen's confidantes, and he had met him once when he was on the boat to the island.
A few people got off the pier and got into the car. Looking at the direction, it seemed that they were going to the military camp behind the mountain.
Watching the other party go away, Zhu Yunxuan withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and let out a light snort.
Min'er pulled his sleeve and asked him in a low voice, "Why doesn't father come to play with Min'er today?"
Zhu Yunxuan gently squeezed his hand, and coaxed him: "You are good, father is busy, when he is free, he will come to accompany you."
The child jumped on him: "Daddy, can we play here all the time?"
"Playing here all the time?" Zhu Yunxuan teased his son with a smile, "You don't want your big daddy and father anymore? Didn't you still fight to see them last night?"
The child pursed his lips, thought for a while, and suggested to him: "Then let's bring them here to play together! Brother Yuan Bao and Ming'er!"
"You think well," Zhu Yunxuan sighed softly after hugging the child into his arms and rubbing it, "It's only been a few days, maybe we will go back soon."
The child blinked his eyes for no reason: "But Min'er likes this place, it's fun every day."
Zhu Yunxuan lowered her head and kissed him: "Our Min'er is going to be a prince, we can't just think about playing, we have to study when we go back."
barracks.
The three of them were led into the tent, Liang Zhen ordered someone to serve them tea, with a smile on his lips, he looked at them calmly. The other party was also extraordinarily arrogant, looking at him warily, the leader asked, "Where's Rong Cheng?"
"Uncle Rong has been unwell for the past few days, and it's inconvenient to see guests. His surname is Xiao. I can make decisions on this island."
The other party said coldly: "You invited us here, you must have a plan, so you don't need to go around the bush, just talk about it."
Liang Zhen smiled: "Emperor Dayan is missing now. I know that you have teamed up with the Fanbang people on Java Island and want to take this opportunity to send troops to Dayan. My plan is very simple, and I just want to share a share with you."
The other party narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered: "Share a piece of the pie? Why do you?"
Liang Zhen didn't care about the other party's ridicule, and said calmly: "Since Uncle Rong has a deep friendship with you, you should know why the people on this island came here in the first place. My father was forced to live here for nearly thirty years, and I also We had to flee here because of Emperor Dayan's persecution. Emperor Dayan was unjust to us, so we can't blame us for repaying grievances. You should have seen it when you came here just now. Although the size of our fleet on this island is average, The combat power is still good, and besides... Emperor Dayan is in our hands now, is this enough?"
At the end, the expressions of the three people on the opposite side finally changed. After whispering to each other, the leader suppressed his excitement and asked him: "Emperor Dayan is in your hands? There is no proof for what you say, but do you have evidence?"
Liang Zhen casually picked up a jade belt on the table and threw it to them. It was Zhu Yunxuan's replacement the day he first came to the island: "Look clearly, this is a jade belt engraved with dragon patterns that can only be worn by Emperor Dayan." The belt, we were the ones who robbed Emperor Dayan."
Seeing clearly what Liang Zhen threw over, the other party's eyes lit up: "You hand over Emperor Dayan to us! Other things are easy to discuss!"
"That won't work," Liang Zhen refused with a smile, "Emperor Dayan is the only bargaining chip in our hands. If we hand him over, what else do we have to do? What those foreigners want is to take the initiative in doing business with Dayan , what you want is to disturb the Dayan border, and you should take advantage of the chaos in the Dayan Dynasty to instigate another new emperor, so that the nine princes who are related to you can be pushed to the throne, am I right?"
Without waiting for the other party to refute, he continued: "What we want is also very simple, just financial benefits, as long as you can satisfy us after the matter is completed, the Emperor Dayan is useless by then, and I will hand it over to you for disposal. "
"... How do you know about the Ninth Prince?" The other party's expression became more and more alert, almost gnashing his teeth.
Liang Zhen smiled contemptuously: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world, once you know it, you know it."
When the sun was setting, Liang Zhen appeared at the seaside. Zhu Yunxuan was picking up things in the water. The sea water had reached his calf. Zhu Er stood on the shore and watched eagerly, hesitating to go forward but not daring, his eyes turned red .
The sea water was about to rise, Zhu Yunxuan was still standing in the water and bent over looking for something, behind him was the impending tide, Liang Zhen's heartbeat rose to his throat instantly when he saw this, and shouted to him: "Ah Xuan, come back quickly! "
He kicked off his shoes anxiously and wanted to go over, Zhu Yunxuan stood up straight and waved at him: "Don't come over, it will be fine soon."
"Hurry up! The tide is coming!"
A moment later, Zhu Yunxuan picked up the starfish he had caught with one hand, and proudly shook it at the worried big and small ones on the shore. The smile on his face against the setting sun was even brighter than the golden starfish in his hand. dazzling.
Liang Zhen reminded him again: "Come back soon!"
Zhu Yunxuan returned to the shore, and Min'er immediately rushed forward, hugged his thigh, and tears burst out of her suffocated tears: "Daddy! Woo..."
Zhu Yunxuan showed him the starfish he caught: "Don't cry, didn't I catch another starfish for you?"
"I don't want it anymore, uh..."
Zhu Yunxuan knelt down and coaxed her son with a smile: "Hey, Daddy is fine, don't cry."
Liang Zhen frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhu Yunxuan had no choice but to explain to him: "First he dug up a starfish by himself, and let one go away without paying attention. I promised to catch another one for him. I didn't expect the tide to rise so soon."
Liang Zhen was speechless for a while: "...don't do this next time, if you want to catch starfish, you can come back tomorrow, let's go, let's go back."
Zhu Yunxuan said awkwardly: "My shoes are wet..."
At first he went into the water with his shoes on, and he didn't think of taking them off until the shoes were wet. Now he was stepping on the sand with bare feet, his trouser legs were all wet, and he was squatting on the ground, looking embarrassed and helpless. Prestige can be said.
The anger that was originally caused by worry disappeared instantly. Liang Zhen knelt down in front of him, helped him roll up his trouser legs, and said with a low laugh: "I used to hear that your majesty was the most naughty prince in the palace when he was young. I thought it was a rumor, but now I believe it a little bit.”
Zhu Yunxuan's eyes wandered for a moment: "I don't have it."
"Let's go, I'll carry you on my back."
Zhu Yunxuan stopped talking, watched Liang Zhen turn his back, obediently lay down on his stomach, and hugged his neck. The child was still looking at them with tears in his eyes, Liang Zhen raised his hand and brushed his chubby face, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's cry again, Daddy is fine, let's go back."
Liang Zhen picked up the person on his back, and Min'er picked up his small bucket, looked down at the starfish that Zhu Yunxuan had just put in, smiled through tears, obediently clutched the hem of Liang Zhen's clothes, and followed them up and down .
There was a small one by his side, Liang Zhen slowed down his pace, the setting sun had dyed the entire sea red, the sea wind was getting stronger, and the tide behind him was surging and destructive, Zhu Yunxuan lowered his head and pressed against Liang Zhen's neck Gently rubbed.
Liang Zhen smiled lightly: "Tired?"
Zhu Yunxuan didn't answer, and after a moment of silence, he hesitated and asked him: "What have you been doing all day today?"
"Your Majesty first said to allow the people on this island to go back. They have already made up their minds and are willing to submit to Dayan, but there are still some things to deal with."
Liang Zhen's tone was relaxed, as if chatting about family matters, Zhu Yunxuan pursed his lips lightly, his eyes darkened, and asked again: "Then when shall we go back?"
"Does Ah Xuan want to go back?"
"Half a month as agreed earlier..." Zhu Yunxuan didn't go on talking. It had been several days since they came back from Rainbow Island, and no one mentioned the matter of going back, because they all knew that after going back, it would be difficult to be so comfortable and comfortable again. , It's time to be free.
"Your Majesty has promised to make me a queen. I don't care when I go back, but wait a little longer. Doesn't Yu'er like this place? Just let him play here for a few more days, just a few days, delay Nothing."
With a smile in Liang Zhen's words, Zhu Yunxuan listened quietly, and after a while, he lowered his head and rubbed him affectionately again: "Yeah."
