That night, Mr. Liu tried all kinds of tricks, and he didn't know whether it was Wang Jixian's aphrodisiac or the mysterious fertility drug that worked. Zhao Deji's blood boiled all over, and he felt as happy as he had not experienced in a long time. Mr. Liu saw the elixir and came up with it. After the result, I was greatly relieved and filled with fantasy, I firmly believed that I would give birth to a dragon son.
In the deepest winter season on land, the island ushered in another sunny day.
On the edge of a huge raised rock, groups of fish and shrimps swam around, and some strange little crabs and soft shellfish swam right up to the insteps of people, showing no fear of strangers.
The little tiger head was holding a soft fish that was just about to move. He especially liked this soft animal. It slipped in his hand, tickling and giggling. He wore a green silk soft bellyband. Her arms and legs were exposed to the sun, and she looked chubby, like a doll in a New Year picture.
The wet nurse ran over and picked him up, put a thin coat on him, wiped the sweat from his face, and said softly: "Hey, dear Hutou, let's go back and change into a bellyband, take a look, it's wet..."
The little tiger laughed and waved the slippery fish in front of her: "No, I won't go..."
A big palm stretched out and slapped him on the butt: "You brat, how dare you disobey me..."
"Daddy, daddy... hug..." He threw himself into King Qin's arms, and the wet fish kept swiping at King Qin's eyes. King Qin's eyes were swept by the fish tail, which was wet and fishy, and the little tiger's head He was even more happy when he dodged, and tried harder to tease him with the fish tail. As soon as he dodged, the slippery fish fell to the ground, and the little tiger head clapped his hands in joy: "Daddy... Fish... Dad..."
King Qin opened his eyes from the fishy smell, sighed, and sat down next to him. In front of him was the huge raised stone, and the cracks inside were filled with green plankton. For more than ten years, I still remember that the little girl was hiding fearfully in the crevices of the rocks, trying to escape. I searched and searched. When I found her, the wound on her chest was almost completely torn apart by the sea water. If she hadn't been rescued in time, she would have been injured. No way out.
The slippery fish fell off, and the little tiger turned his head and began to pull at the beard in front of his eyes. Along the beard, his small hands reached into his half-open skirt to feel if there was anything inside. Every time, he Everyone will touch one or two favorite gadgets: "Daddy..."
What he took out this time was an exquisite bronze figure with iron legs. He took it in his hand and twisted it. The little bronze figure stretched out its foot and kicked him. His palms hurt slightly, and he couldn't help laughing. These days, King Qin is looking for Two wet nurses specially took care of him, and they also arranged for two confidants to be responsible for his safety. Although "Luoxia Island" was already very safe, he still hoped that the child could receive the best protection and care.
His eyes returned from the boulder and fell on the little face of the child who was focused on playing with the bronze mannequin. After all, he was a child. After the first few days of crying, he got used to the days when his mother was not around, and he was still happy every day. On the island All the flying birds and fish suffered disaster and were chased around by him all day long. Even a tamed wild cat on the island had a few whiskers plucked out by him. The novel island became his endless paradise.
He was focused on playing and raised his head to look at King Qin. King Qin was shocked by the big black eyes. After a long while, he said to himself: "Bad boy, don't you miss your mother? No." A conscientious boy, he is still so happy without his mother... "
Little Hutou didn't understand and just played seriously. When he heard him mention his mother, he seemed to think of his own mother again. He quickly raised his head and looked around. Where was his mother? As soon as he flattened his mouth, he was about to cry. King Qin's hand was under his armpit: "How can a worthless boy coo at his mother every day? Doesn't he look like a man?"
The little tiger's head was tickled until he laughed, cried and laughed, struggling with his limp arms: "Daddy, daddy... Mommy..."
"You brat, don't cry. I will definitely get your mother back."
"Mom, will you be back soon?"
King Qin couldn't answer. He looked at him blankly and only gently stroked his two long eyelashes covered with tears with his hands. I don't know what kind of mood he was carrying these days. Maybe it was because of those eyes, maybe It is because of the soft body of the little tiger head that he is like a new father embracing his biological son with joy. He gives him the best of everything so that he can grow up happily. However, everything is ready, but he just chooses to do it. I can't give him a mother.
A pirate came over and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Yang is on the cruiser and has something to report to you."
King Qin nodded and handed the little tiger head to the wet nurse. The little tiger head refused to leave his arms and asked: "Mom... where is mom... where is daddy?"
King Qin glared at him: "Be obedient, or I will spank you."
The little tiger head didn't dare to ask any more questions and hid in the nanny's arms with a flat mouth.
On the cruiser, seven or eight important pirates gathered.
King Qin came in and sat on the tiger-skin gold chair in the middle. Uncle Yang said methodically: "Your Majesty, the land troops used by Yelu need training. We must send people there immediately. Who do you think is the most suitable person to send?"
King Qin looked around. The attendees included his old subordinates Friday, Zhou Qi, Liu Wu and others. He thought for a while and realized that Ma Su had not returned from Fusang to trade bulk ceramics, so Liu Wu had to guard him, so he said: "Zhou You can follow me on Friday and Saturday."
The two of them accepted the order. On Friday, he said: "The younger one has one more thing to report to the king."
"What's the matter?"
"Zhang Shishi and Lin Silang want to take refuge with the king."
The King of Qin pondered for a moment and did not answer immediately. These two people were Lin Zhijie's sons-in-law. The rich man Lin Zhijie had earlier received a reward for his meritorious service in rescuing Zhao Deji at sea. But two years ago, Lin Zhijie died of illness, and Lin Silang and others And because they encountered a storm while going to sea, their goods were damaged, and their family gradually fell into decline. As maritime trade became increasingly difficult, they wanted to invest in the name of King Qin to obtain better development.
"Zhou Qi, how is their relationship with the court now?"
"Since Mr. Lin died of illness, these brothers have no relationship with the imperial court. They have been extorted from time to time by the imperial naval forces stationed on the border, and because of their family's financial difficulties, they want to seek refuge with the king."
"Okay, if that's the case, let them move along the coast."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Qin looked around again and said: "I will leave everything on the island to my third uncle for the time being. I will go with Zhou Qi and the others."
Uncle Yang was startled and immediately expressed his objection: "Your Majesty, Yelu Dayong did not ask you to go in person."
"With such a large army, he doesn't trust us, and I don't trust him either. So, I must go in person."
"But, how long will it take to come back this time?"
"Yelü Dayong and I still have something to discuss, so we must go there."
Sanshu Yang could no longer object. At this time, he did not want King Qin to come ashore. With this unformed army, if something unexpected happened, wouldn't it be a failure
He waved his hand, and one of the minions brought up a red box. King Qin opened it, and inside were several small portraits of women. They were all Li Tinglan's, with Li Tinglan's beautiful handwriting on them.
He laughed heartily: "This woman is nothing like Old Ghost Yelu..."
Everyone rushed to see the portrait, and all exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, so beautiful... The king is so beautiful..."
"Your Majesty, how long did it take for Mrs. Yazhai to marry her back?"
"No, didn't your Majesty set a date for getting married? It will be next year's Dragon Boat Festival..."
"It's almost the end of the year, almost..."
"Your Majesty, if I had longed for such a beauty when I was little, why didn't you marry her back as soon as possible?"
The pirates didn't pay much attention to etiquette and talked and laughed happily.
King Qin held the small statue and was very proud: "Okay, when I marry Mrs. Yazhai, each of you will be promoted to one level..."
Everyone cheered.
After everyone dispersed, Uncle Yang stayed alone and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I don't want you to have any selfish motives..."
"What selfish motives would I have? I don't have any selfish motives."
"Now the handling of Yue Pengju and his wife rests with the court. I hope you will stop interfering, so as not to disrupt our plans."
King Qin was a little impatient: "How can I care about Yue Pengju's business? I have long known that Zhao Deji will kill him. The rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked, and the bird will be hidden. No one can stop this. I don't have three heads and six arms, how can I save him?" them?"
Uncle Yang nodded and said in his heart, it would be great if this was really the case.
After King Qin went out, Uncle Yang still felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he went to Zhou Qi in private and gave him careful instructions.
Once ashore, the further we walked, the more obvious the desolation of winter became.
Everyone hurried forward and traveled another five hundred miles. Along the way, the scenery was completely different from that in the south. Rows of poplar trees had lost their leaves and stood bare under the dim sky. The weeds were withered and yellow, and the people were desolate. Years of war. , most of the vitality in the north was destroyed.
King Qin reined in his horse and suddenly remembered that this was actually the "Zhongjiazhuang". It was the place where the girl settled after she escaped. She had been here for six or seven years, but after searching for thousands of miles, she just couldn't find it. They couldn't find this place until one time, Li Xing and others accidentally passed by and discovered her traces.
Li Xing and others had already died under the Jinren's butcher's knife, and he was the only one left among the eighteen elite cavalry that day. He looked at his elite team in front of him. None of these people knew his past, and they were married by themselves. history.
By mid-afternoon, everyone was tired and thirsty. Far away, in front of a straw shed, there was a tattered chess piece floating on it, with the word "tea" written on it for the boss.
This tea shop is still there.
Zhou Qi said happily: "Your Majesty, there is a tea shed in front of you. Let's go have a cup of tea first and rest before leaving."
King Qin immediately agreed.
Everyone dismounted, and there were only a few people in the tea shed. King Qin walked over and stopped about ten feet away. Sitting at the only table was a fat monk, wearing soap clothes and a coat, with a big beard, and his face had long been restrained. He has lost the majestic look of the past, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, like an ascetic monk. But there is still a large Zen staff as thick as a bowl next to him.
I unexpectedly met Ruda here again!
He walked over and sat down heavily next to Ruda. He stared at Ruda unscrupulously, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt. He had seen countless people in his life, but he had never seen such a strange person: his eyes revealed deep compassion. , but the Zen staff showed a murderous aura. The Tathagata also roared like a lion. Has Ruda become a Buddha
