The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 700 Ships

After leaving the Taiping Temple, Taoist Ning'an brought the young Taoist priests to see them off. Lin Jiaojiao asked Xuemei to leave some incense money for the Taiping Temple. Although it was not much, it was not a lot.

Xiao Daotong held a bag of silver, and there was a glimmer of hope in his bright eyes. He looked up at Taoist Ning An and asked, "Master, is the Taiping Temple saved?"

Taoist Ning An stood upright, looking into the distance, his hands fluctuated with the wind, he sighed, and said: "Taiping has come to an end, there is no cure, no cure."

After descending the mountain, he took a carriage back to the Sheriff's Mansion of the Branch County of Suzhou, and immediately asked the Sheriff Yan Laixing to help him find the Zhirenwen of Suzhou, and asked about Liushan.

However, the entire Suzhou branch county could not find a single word about Liushan.

Even the state annals and humanities found seem to have vacancies.

Yan Laixing explained: "Prince Regent, 40 years ago, it was not a low-ranking official who took over the post of sheriff. I only heard that due to management negligence, a fire burned down many state records of Suzhou, so these are all rescued at that time. some down."

After hearing this explanation, Lin Jiaojiao also understood a little bit. When Liushan searched, these state chronicles were still well preserved, but now, they are only incomplete.

If there hadn't been the fire that Yan Laixing mentioned, they would have been able to find out about Taoist Taiping and Taoist Changsheng without having to go to the Taiping Temple.

Not in the fog like it is now.

On the second day, the Yunchuan navy brought warships to Suzhou, and Yan Sihan took the prefect Yan Laixing and the officers and soldiers of the government to board the boat and enter the underground river under the palace.

Since the loss of the ship skills of the Great Shu Tower, the warships used by the Danan Navy are all wooden sailboats. Although the stability has been improved, the size of the hull cannot be expanded, so the manned capacity is also limited.

It cannot carry thousands of people like the old boats.

on board.

Lin Jiaojiao was dressed like she was in winter, with a circle of white fluff on her sleeves, she looked more girlish and lively.

But the little face that was supposed to be smiling was always gloomy.

Sitting by the window, it was as dark as night outside, only the little fires on the boat were shining like stars in the darkness.

She stared outside in a daze, with thousands of thoughts in her mind, and each thought was like a long thread that could not be cut. These long threads were intertwined, but there were rules to be found.

Suddenly, a big hand closed the window in front of her. When she came back to her senses and looked back, she saw Yan Sihan with a rather gentle expression.

Before she could speak, the man reached out and touched her face, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you thinking so seriously?"

Lin Jiaojiao wanted to open her mouth to say something, but in the end she shook her head and swallowed the words. Many things have not been figured out yet, so she didn't know where to start.

The man sat down beside her, and held her hands that were icy cold from lying on the window.

After feeling the warmth, Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but want to move herself closer to him.

At this time, a man's gentle voice came from above her head: "This king remembered something."

"What's the matter?" Lin Jiaojiao looked up at Yan Sihan, quietly waiting for the man's next words.

While pulling her into his arms, Yan Sihan said to her: "When I was at Taiping Temple, I felt like I had seen the name Liushan somewhere, but I just couldn't remember it for a while."

"Wang Ye has seen this word elsewhere?" She asked, her eyes became a little more serious.

"Yeah." Yan Sihan nodded, and said: "This king once saw a landscape painting with an excellent artistic conception in the hall of the prime minister's mansion, and the signature is Liushan."
