In the evening, the ship was about to dock, and Nalan Jinnian accompanied Nuan Nuan to the deck to enjoy the breeze.
The sky was overcast, the water flow was fast, and the river water was turbid and yellow. It probably rained in this county last night.
The ship is now gradually approaching the dock.
This river is the widest and longest river in Nalan Kingdom, and flows through both countries.
Merchant ships of all sizes can be seen passing by on this river at any time.
There are many ships moored at the pier not far away.
In recent years, Nalan Kingdom has become increasingly prosperous and powerful. The people have more money on hand, and there are more merchant ships leading to the north and south.
Looking at the merchant ships in the distance, Nuan Nuan knew that the lives of the people in Nalan Kingdom had not been affected by the war at all.
However, the reason why there are so many ships at this pier is probably not because of prosperity, but because of violent storms!
You can tell just by looking at the color of the water.
Suddenly, Wen Nuan saw a familiar figure standing on the pier. She tugged on the sleeve of the person next to her: "Brother Seventeen, is that the Seventh Prince?"
Nalan Jinnian was looking at both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Hearing this, he turned around and frowned: "It's him."
This brat, why are you waiting here
Come back to Beijing as soon as possible!
Seeing that the ship was about to dock, Nuan Nuan said to Chen Huan, "Go and tell the Queen Mother to get ready and you can get off the ship."
Chen Huan nodded and turned back to the cabin.
~
The ship soon docked.
Because the ship carries a military flag, it can dock in specific areas.
No one dared to stop him.
The seventh prince jumped on board before the boat even stopped.
Several guards behind him also boarded the ship.
The seventh prince looked embarrassed, but he could not hide his suaveness. He said happily: "When I saw the military flag in the distance, I knew that the seventeenth emperor's uncle and the seventeenth emperor's aunt were on this ship!"
"Why are you waiting here?" Nalan Jinnian said with a straight face.
He is not pregnant with Liujia, so why is he so slow and still staying here
He had already said in the letter that he should rush back to the capital as quickly as possible!
The royal brother cannot live without a reliable prince.
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince showed a speechless expression: "Stop talking, this journey is too difficult! By the way, the road back to Beijing from here cannot be walked. There was a violent storm and landslide last night, and we will return to Beijing." The road was completely blocked and I almost got buried last night! Luckily I ran fast!"
Nalan Jinnian frowned.
Landslip
Is this a coincidence or an accident
Along the way, they first encountered a murder, then a collision with a ship, and then a storm, which also delayed a lot of time.
"Has your journey been smooth?"
The seventh prince waved his hand: "Don't mention it!"
All kinds of bad luck happened to him!
The Queen Mother and Yang Yue'er walked out at this time and happened to hear the seventh prince's words.
The Queen Mother asked: "The road is blocked? Do we not have to get off the boat?"
Yang Yue'er was blessed: "A common girl has met the Seventh Prince."
The Seventh Prince subconsciously glanced at Yang Yue'er, his face looked much better, and then he looked away and quickly saluted the Queen Mother, and then said: "No need to get off the boat, let's go directly to the next county! The road is very blocked, and I don’t know when it will be possible to get through! And depending on the weather, it’s probably going to rain. If it rains again, it will be troublesome to walk on the mountain road.”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother said: "Then let's go to the next county by water!"
Safety is important.
"Go directly to the next county." Nalan Jinnian ordered.
If you go to the next county by water, you will have to delay the journey for another day or two.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
So the boat started to set off again.
The Seventh Prince found an opportunity and asked Yang Yuer, "How is Miss Yang's health?"
Yang Yue'er lowered her head and said softly: "Thanks to the seventh prince, things have gotten much better."
"That's good." The seventh prince didn't know what to say for a moment.
But I want to talk to her.
Seeing that she could not get off the ship, the Queen Mother said: "The Ai family has gone back to the cabin to make clothes. Let's talk!"
Yang Yue'er hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother and I will go back together."
"Okay." The Queen Mother smiled.
Yang Yue'er's needlework is good.
There was nothing to do on the ship. These days, the Queen Mother worked with her to make clothes for the child in her warm belly.
In about a month or so, the child in Nuan Nuan's belly was born.
You need to prepare more clothes. After all, children tend to spit up milk and need to be changed when they get wet.
Yang Yue'er blessed several people and then helped the Queen Mother back to the cabin.
The seventh prince watched Yang Yuer's leaving figure without blinking.
Nalan Jinnian glanced at the Seventh Prince, saying he had no future!
He pulled Wen Nuan to the table on the deck and sat down: "Come here!"
The seventh prince came to his senses and walked to the table to sit down.
He glanced at the man in the corner of the paralyzed deck, with messy hair, dirty clothes, and unable to move, and asked curiously: "Who is this person?"
Nalan Jinnian didn't even look at the man: "The roadblock!"
Roadblock
The seventh prince's expression changed.
Someone is blocking the Seventeenth Emperor's uncle from returning to Beijing
who is it
The Seventh Prince couldn't help but think about what he encountered along the way. Could it not be an accident
"Did the interrogation reveal anything?"
Nuan Nuan shook his head: "No, he didn't say."
The weak man lying on the ground: "......"
Didn't he say it
It's because they didn't interrogate him at all, they simply treated him as if he didn't exist!
It’s almost like you’re a deck on a ship.
Let him be exposed to the wind, sun and rain on this deck!
He was about to lose the energy to speak, so he took the opportunity to say: "Sir, I really don't know anything! I was wronged!"
Nuan Nuan raised his eyebrows: "Look! This is the only sentence I've ever heard!"
The Seventh Prince turned to look at him coldly: "So tough-mouthed? Let him lie down then! Send him back to the dungeon of the Criminal Department. The iron bed there is better for him to lie on!"
The man: "......"
Are you not planning to interrogate
He has already thought of excuses!
He didn't know anything, but someone gave him ten taels of silver and asked him to say that he saw the murderer and run to their fleet, and by the way, he stopped their ship and refused to let them leave!
If he successfully stops him, give him another fifty taels of silver!
He really doesn't know anything else.
The man was trying to take this opportunity to make things clear.
"Sir! I..."
The seventh prince said impatiently: "Shut up, I don't want to hear what you have to say now! If you say the word "cut" again, I will cut your tongue!"
The man: "... ... ..."
Oh my God!
Are you going to let people live
How could you arrest someone without extracting a confession
As long as he is tortured to extract a confession, he will definitely confess!
He didn't want to lie on the deck drying his salted fish anymore.
But he didn't dare to make another sound.
The three of them ignored him because they were on the ship now, and nothing could be done if the interrogation came out.
Nalan Jinnian asked: "Tell me what happened along the way?"
The Seventh Prince frowned when he thought about what happened along the way: "It's not a big deal, it's just some minor troubles."
