Chapter 288 Out of Control
evening.

Yongming Water City, seaside market.

After all, the cold winter has just ended, and the sea breeze is blowing, and it is still extremely cold.

The air is filled with damp moisture, accompanied by a salty smell.

In ancient times, many people had never seen the sea in their entire lives, such as Huo Anu and A Ni, who were very excited and happy today.

At this moment, Xu Zun brought Zhao Yu, Huo Anu, Ani, and Ku Niang, and no one was wandering in the seaside market.

It is said to be wandering, but also to avoid those disturbances and talk about things about going to sea.

"First," Xu Zun instructed Zhao Yu as he left, "Find a painter, and paint a portrait of the prince according to the description of the people in the prince's mansion.

"There are only a few people in the prince's mansion, and when we go to the ten countries in the East China Sea, it is impossible to let only a few of them look for it, so everyone on the ship must know the prince's appearance."

"Understood." Zhao Yu wrote it down.

"Also," Xu Zun asked again, "will the expert you are looking for come tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, my lord," Zhao Yu said, "I've given you the money, and it will arrive tomorrow. It is said that the two are husband and wife. They used to make their fortunes by doing business in the East China Sea. They are not only familiar with it, but also know many unknown black markets. Dark Workshop."

"Okay," Xu Zun said again, "Old Zhao, I just saw that there are many Donghai people living in Yongming County, right?
"Just in case, tomorrow you can take the guards to look for a few more Donghai aborigines, at least to ensure the language problem."

"Yes," Zhao Yu nodded, "We have thought about this together and wanted to tell you!

"This time, the imperial court did not send us a professional ceremonial officer. If we don't understand the local etiquette and customs, there may be misunderstandings."

"My lord," at this moment, Ani said excitedly holding up a string of shell necklaces, "Do you think this necklace looks good? You can buy a string for only two hundred cash, it's too cheap!"

"..." Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were speechless for a moment.

"Look!" Huo Anu also pointed to the necklace on his neck and said joyfully, "It's so beautiful, I bought two necklaces, come!"

As he said that, Huo Anu gave the bunch in his hand to Ku Niang, and helped Ku Niang take off the veil cap, and put it on for Ku Niang.

Ok……

Xu Zun wanted to remind them that it was expensive, but seeing the girls so happy, he had no choice but to give up.

"There are corals and conch over there, they are all beautiful!" Ani was eager to try.

At this time, Huo Anu saw Xu Zun and Zhao Yu's expressions were not right, and hurried forward and said: "My lord, you are not still worried about going to sea this time, are you?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Yu said, "Even the survivors have been silenced, can you not be worried?"

"I don't think it's necessary," Huo Anu analyzed, "Look, according to what Mr. Xu taught us before, the most important point of our trip is to see the essence through the phenomenon.

"So... what is the essence of going to sea? Is it to find the prince?"

"Huh?" Ani heard this kind of analysis for the first time, immediately put down the jewelry in her hand, and asked, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Huo Anu said, "First of all, since the crown prince was attacked and the survivors were killed, it means that some people do not want the crown prince to return to Daxuan.

"Then...who is it good for the crown prince not to return to Daxuan?"

When Huo Anu said this, Ani was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Who?"

Huo Anu looked around and whispered, "Of course it's on the Queen Mother's side!"

"What are you talking about, Sister Anu?" Ani was surprised, "Didn't the queen mother ask me to find the prince?"

"That's right," Huo Anu said confidently, "so this matter is just a formality, what we call going out to sea to find the prince is for others to see.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether we can find the prince..."

"This is..."

Hearing Huo Anu's analysis, Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were speechless again.

"We only need to go out to sea by boat and come back from a stroll around the East China Sea to complete the task." Huo Anu looked at Xu Zun and said, "Isn't that so, my lord?"

"Ah...that would be great!" Ani was excited again, "Can't we buy a lot of good things?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"What?" Huo Anu saw Xu Zun's solemn expression, and hurriedly asked, "Am I not right?"

"It's not that it's wrong," Zhao Yu muttered in a low voice, "it's completely wrong!"

"What?" Huo Anu stared, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not," Zhao Yu shook his head, "If you only go on a trip, does Master Xu need to be so anxious?
"Have you all forgotten the iron law? Wherever we go, accidents will happen, alas..."

"Anuqie!" Huo Anu scolded, "Nonsense, we came here because of the prince's incident in the East China Sea. Don't be a pigeon mouth all the time, okay?"

"Sister," Ani corrected, "it's a crow's mouth, not a pigeon's mouth!"

"Alas!" Finally, Xu Zun sighed, facing the sea and said, "Huo Anu has all my true inheritance, but the fire is still far behind.

"Let me also list a few points for you!" He stretched out a finger and said to Huo Anu, "First, you don't understand the personality of the Queen Mother. She really doesn't care about the life and death of the Prince, but she doesn't like that kind of out-of-control a feeling of!"

"Out of control?" Huo Anu was puzzled, "Where is it out of control?"

"Even though the matter is as big as the Taoist catastrophe," Xu Zun said in a low voice, "the queen mother is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and everything is under her control.

"But...she didn't know about the prince's attack, so..." Xu Zun shook his head slightly, "We're going to Donghai, we have to find out a result!"

gollum...

Huo Anu swallowed, only then realized that his guess was wrong.

"Second," Xu Zun stretched out his second finger, "There are indications that the crown prince may have an affair with Taoism, and this is something the queen mother is more concerned about.

"Whether the prince is dead or alive, we'd better be able to find out something, otherwise... we won't be able to do business!"

"Ah? This..." Huo Anu pushed Zhao Yu and complained, "Why didn't you tell me such an important matter?"

"You didn't ask me?" Zhao Yu was innocent.

"Third," Xu Zun stretched out his third finger, "Can't you see it? If the survivors hadn't been silenced, this matter would have been much easier.

"Unfortunately……"

Oh?
This time, the three of Zhao Yu all showed doubts, obviously they couldn't understand Xu Zun's meaning.

"My lord," Zhao Yu first guessed, "Is it because there are no survivors that we don't know what happened to the prince? Where should we go to find the prince?"

"I think..." Huo Anu guessed, "Is your lord worried that there is an inner ghost among us? Once we find out something, someone will be against us?"

"Tsk tsk..." Xu Zun turned his head, looked at these family-like comrades-in-arms, smacked his lips bitterly, and said, "You only guessed half right, but you never thought about why the survivors were silenced?"

"Why?" The three asked at the same time.

"Because..." Xu Zun said the answer word by word, "The prince must still be alive!!!"
