The queen leaves the court

Chapter 44
After listening to what she said, there was a touch of warmth in his cool eyes, and then he smiled lightly, and answered An Zixun's question seriously, "You said that the old and weak, women and children came to the deck, and the young and middle-aged stayed behind. I am neither old nor weak. Women and children are also young and middle-aged, so naturally they cannot leave."

An Zixun also admired how calm he was at this time, but she couldn't imagine what Ji Yunshang could do.

As if seeing her intentions, he smiled and said, "The polar reefs are arranged in random order and are naturally formed. Even skilled players may not be able to get around them. The approximate shape is still there.”

"Do you know the terrain here?" An Zixun stared at him in disbelief, a huge hope came out of thin air.

"There are some things I haven't had time to tell. My family has grown up by the sea for several generations. Later, the family suffered a huge change and became an actor after living outside for many years. Otherwise, how could I play this Shanghai ditty." Speaking of the past, he briefly explained , A gentle smile quickly appeared on his cheek.

"Can you estimate where we are in the reef waters?"

Ji Yunshang nodded, took out a thrush snail, tore off the skirt and laid it out together. He simply sketched a few strokes on it, and An Zixun stepped forward to see the scene he drew.

According to the ship's itinerary, today's wind speed, and...

He listed a series of factors, even fishermen who have lived by the sea for many years may not know so many and thoroughly. After An Zixun listened, he clicked on one place.

"Is it here?" she asked.

"The general direction can't be wrong." Ji Yunshang was calm and confident.

An Zixun took the sketch map and told all the boatmen the approximate location, and heard Ji Yunshang say a few words, "If we want to wait to save other ships, we must avoid going around places with undercurrents, otherwise we can wait until they come , They can't get close to us for a while."

Instruct the boatman, many people who were chaotic in the cabin just now were evacuated, and gradually the breathing here became much smoother.

"Ji Yunshang, you have a thorough understanding of the sea." An Zixun sincerely praised her. She always thought that Jin Henbo was excellent in this area. Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshang was no different. With his help, she finally breathed a sigh of relief . "How did you know there was going to be a ship?"

He lowered his voice, "You come here to show that you have thought of a way to save the people on this ship. To be honest, our solution can only be to delay. The princess probably notified people from the South China Sea to come, so I risked my life to delay the ship. The time to sink the sea."

She sighed softly, and said seriously, "Ji Yunshang is fortunate that you are no longer my enemy, otherwise it would be a big trouble."

"The concubine is Ji Yunshang's bosom friend, how can I hurt you again." He smiled lightly, like a ripple that quickly dispersed on the water and disappeared.Standing on the spot, his eyes stayed on An Zixun's figure, and he pursed his lips tightly.

Not long after, the ship suffered heavy impacts amid repeated resounding sounds, and the bottom plank could no longer withstand such an external impact, making a loud creaking sound, and broke abruptly in the middle of the hull.

"Let's go!" An Zixun shouted loudly, the water from the bottom was flooding too fast, it rushed into the boat all at once, and immediately covered her calf, "All head towards the deck!"

After she finished shouting, she dragged Ji Yunshang, who had been with her all the time, struggling to walk in the water. The water entered too fast, and before she reached the passage on the upper deck, the sea water reached her thighs. The resistance in the water was too great, and it was quite difficult to walk.

There was a loud splash of sea water, she pushed Ji Yunshang, pulled the rope hanging from the hull, and struggled to climb up.

Just came up, and saw Li Shen rushing here anxiously, she quickly grabbed him in the crowd, "Director Li, what are you doing here?!" His expression was flustered like never before. The entrance to the lower passage where the water is severe.

"The prince is below, he is going down to find you, princess!"

The corners of An Zixun's lips were tightly pursed, and she turned her head to look at the entrance of the lower floor. Suddenly she bit her lip and said, "Everyone go back to the deck, the lower floor can't turn back if the water gets in!"

He Lianxiao and his party were rushing over afterward, and they were shocked when they heard that Prince Qing had not returned so far to find her at the bottom, but she was unwilling to go back to see King Qing again?
Li Shen was worried, "Princess, my lord..."

"Li Shen, listen to the third sister-in-law's order." He Lianxiao ordered. "Sister-in-law three, it's good that you're fine. I'll go find brother three first, and you can take care of the others." He was about to go down after he finished speaking.

An Zixun stopped him and said anxiously, "Qi Ye, you can't go down."

He didn't understand, she didn't want to go down, why she stopped others from giving.

Suddenly, Hua Qianyou, who had been following silently all this time, suddenly stepped forward and raised his hand to wave towards her cheek.

Where can I hit her!

An Zixun was disturbed and had no time to pay attention to her deliberate unreasonable troubles. She turned around slightly, stretched out her hand to pinch her wrist in mid-air, and shook it away with a little force.

Hua Qianyou's wrist suddenly turned red, and she took a few steps back but her face turned cold, tears streaming down her face, "An Zixun, you are so cruel, the prince will go down because of you, if something happens to the prince, Even if you die a thousand times, you will not be able to atone for your sins!"

Kapok hurriedly came up to support Hua Qianyou, "Ma'am, don't..."

"What do you want? She can save others when she goes down, so why can't she come back to find the prince!" Hua Qianyou looked at the man standing beside An Zixun, and said with some gritted teeth.

After tossing in the water for a long time, the jet black smeared on Ji Yunshang's face was washed off, revealing that indistinguishable and indistinguishable face. He is originally Yushu Lanzhi, and he looks embarrassed right now, but it does not detract from his gentle and elegant demeanor.

He Lianxiao's eyes changed. He was impressed by the person he had seen several times. It turned out that he was an actor from the Prince's Mansion. How could he appear on the boat?Moreover, it seems that the third sister-in-law is also familiar with him.

He stood beside An Zixun without saying a word. From the very beginning, he never took his eyes off her figure.

A little panic flashed in Kapok's eyes, and he hurriedly turned his head away slightly, not looking at Ji Yunshang.

Ji Yunshang didn't panic at all, nor was she in a hurry to explain, but said softly, "The princess just saved Ji Yunshang alone at the bottom. The boat can last until now, and it all depends on the princess commanding the boatmen to control it. If Madam wants to target I, Ji Yunshang, dare not refute, but it is indeed reasonable for the princess not to let you go down, the bottom layer is broken, it is too dangerous."

When He Lianxiao heard what he said, he was even more worried about He Lianqing.

An Zixun knew that He Lianxiao had to be persuaded first, she just opened her mouth to dissuade, and saw a dazzling white light above her head cut through the dark night, piercing her eyebrows at the speed of falling stars.

The sword energy was fierce, but controlled properly, it did not hurt anyone else, and it was swung entirely for her alone.

An Zixun's qinggong was good, so she hurriedly avoided it.But this man's swordsmanship was exquisite and superb, and he was fully prepared to seal her retreat. When he failed with one move, he pulled up the sword flower and stabbed her cheek a few times. Although she avoided her, the long hair on the side of his face was cut off by his sharp sword. few strands.

She still had a few hidden weapons in her sleeves, and she fired them in the dodging room. The man didn't care at all, and turned his figure slightly to avoid it at will.An Zixun groaned in her heart, this person was the most unreasonable and difficult person she had ever met.

With black clothes and black hair, and a thin and handsome face, Xie Mo Nian sneered, and without much effort, the long sword in his hand rested on An Zixun's throat.

"What have I said, the hidden weapons of the Jin family in Nanhai are ingenious, and you will only be opportunistic. Your qinggong is good, but you couldn't escape Xie's control all the way before!"

The long sword was ruthless, he chuckled and moved his hand slightly, the tip of the sword pierced An Zixun's skin, a trace of blood oozed out, his sword seemed to be thirsty for blood, he even inhaled it, the blade was slightly red.

"Thank you, brother, for your mercy!" He Lianxiao saw who it was and immediately shouted to stop it.

"A Xiao, what's wrong with you, you still pleaded for her." Xie Mo Nian said coldly, there was a kind of excitement for blood in his eyes, and the long sword trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound.

"Third brother is still down here, now is not the time for our own people to fight among themselves! Brother Xie, finding third brother is the most important thing. As for third sister-in-law, you want to kill her, isn't it easy?" He Lianxiao knew that he couldn't persuade him. Living in Xie Monian, if he really hurt An Zixun, he would not be able to explain to the third brother.

"Who is on her own!" Xie Mo Nian turned to An Zixun with a face full of shame, "You are on the order, it's my turn."

He Lianxiao thought for a while, then suddenly his face changed, "Wait, brother Xie doesn't need you to do it. If you kill her, third brother will definitely blame you. Since she didn't want to go down to save third brother, this king let her go down." If you don’t dare to go, you can kill her with a sword, I guarantee that everyone here will keep silent about what they saw today!"

He Lianxiao suggested calmly on the surface, and secretly squeezed a cold sweat in his hands.

Xie Mo Nian narrowed his eyes, as if he was a little interested in this proposal.

"A Xiao, what you said sounds pretty good." He turned his sword and glanced at the entrance of the ground floor from the corner of his eyes. There was a loud sound of water, and Qing'er was still inside, just for this woman!

An Zongbai killed his aunt's life, and his daughter put Qing'er in danger. He forced An Zixun to step back, "If you don't want to die, go down and bring Qing'er back!"

Crazy flames were beating in his eyes, he raised his hand and hit An Zixun on the shoulder, and saw her slip and fall into the lower channel that was almost filled with seawater.

Qinger, brother is here to guard you, you have to come back alive...

He smiled and looked at the people who came with He Lianqing, these were Qing'er's confidantes.

If he can't see Qing'er returning safely tonight, he will bury these people!Otherwise, Qing'er will be very lonely...

Thinking of this, Xie Mo Nian smiled eeriely.

Seeing his strange smile, He Lianxiao felt uneasy in his heart. He had known Xie Mo Nian since he was a child. In name, he was sent by Concubine Ying to take care of his third brother. In private, Big Brother Xie taught him how to fight with his third brother. Li is overprotective.

In short, Xie Monian has always been a person with a weird temper in his opinion, and he is the most afraid to provoke him.

Thinking of the third brother's special entrustment before the trip: Ah Xiao, there will be many unknown dangers along the way, you just have to remember one thing, no matter when and where, An Zixun must not be injured.If it is Xie Monian who is in trouble, this person is difficult to deal with, but he has a weakness, he hates the people of the An family, and will not let An Zixun go easily, you find a way to get An Zixun out of his control, the farther the better!
He saw elder brother Xie knocking sister-in-law three into the water, I'm sorry third sister-in-law, no matter how dangerous the lower level is, it's better than you falling into elder brother Xie's hands, otherwise you might not live long.

"Qi Ye, the servant has already put away the things that the princess gave me." Li Shen came back after walking away for a while, and leaned in front of him and said.

He Lianqing nodded and thought for a moment, the boat swayed more and more violently, and the waves kept churning towards them. They were covered in salty sea water, and the boat must have sunk. The third brother and the others have not yet come up, and Xie Monian is sticking to the entrance of the lower passage.

Wiping off the seawater from his face, he said coldly, "Li Shen, if the boat from Nanhai comes later, you escort Mrs. Hua and Mu Mian away first!" Seeing that the third brother and the third sister-in-law escaped from danger, he was very anxious uncomfortable.

"Qi Ye, that's not going to work! You forgot what the lord told me at the time? You still have to go to Xiangling County. It took a long time to find that person. The lord takes this matter very seriously!" Li Shen said in a low voice. Very low, glance lightly and quickly, Mrs. Hua leaning against the trembling embrace of Kapok.

This trip to Xiangling was not going well as the prince expected, so it is even more important to go there!
Helian slammed his fist on the fence, all he knew was that the third brother wanted to see someone, but he didn't ask why.The third brother told him that he must do it.

"My lord, look!" Li Shen's eyes suddenly brightened as he looked at the lights coming from a distance, the vast sea was pitch black at night, and that light almost became the light of life for everyone!
The signal had not been released for a long time, and he could be saved immediately after seeing it!
When everyone was panicked and panicked before Jiujiu, and when they saw hope, they rushed over one after another.The two of them guarded Hua Qianyou and Mu Mian and went there first, except that Xie Mo Nian stood still, his eyes were only on the sea water that was about to fill the entire bottom cabin, and his dark eyes grew wildly and rapidly.

There was another person, who was also ignored at this time, Ji Yunshang walked with the crowd, but not in the direction of the rescue ship.

The night was unclear, and the people standing on the deck stared at the distant reef sea area with the "clairvoyance" in their hands for a moment, and was beaten mercilessly by the waves, and saw the merchant ship that was about to fail.

His bony hands kept adjusting the distance, and his clairvoyance could clearly see people and things far away. The deck was full of people. He looked carefully several times, but he didn't find any familiar figure.

"Why isn't she here?" Fingers clenched together, Helian Chunshui frowned. There were He Lianxiao, Hua Qianyou, and Li Shen on board, but she and Helianqing were the only ones who weren't there.

Rong Fu listened and quickly replied, "Master Hou, don't worry, the spies have already passed by the waterway, and they will be back soon."

These words didn't make Helian Chunshui's worry go away, he couldn't calm down when she didn't appear.

As soon as He Lianqing boarded the ship, he ordered that no other ships would be released within the first three days of the ferry, and the entire sea area was only the merchant ship he was on.In order to intercept him, ambushes were set up both on land and at sea. His three emperor uncles were too shrewd in calculations, so naturally they would not obediently submit.His calculations were ingenious, but Helian Chunshui could also predict what his general arrangement would be.

Uncle Sanhuang, you have been proud for half your life, I am afraid that you will never think of whose hands you will fall in the end, without the cooperation of the woman you love, it is really difficult to break you down.

After a while, there was the sound of water under the boat, and the spy who had lurked back from a merchant ship in the distance pulled the rope and boarded the deck from the sea.

Rong Fu hurriedly stepped forward to ask, his face changed slightly, seeing that Helian Chunshui was waiting for his answer.

"Lord Hou..."

"Say!" He stared at Rong Fu suddenly, his fingers clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"The spies said that the concubine originally came up from the bottom floor, but she was re-entered into the cabin on the bottom floor. The man stood guard at the entrance passage, saying that she must find Prince Qing, or he would kill the concubine. They were afraid that people would find out their identities. Dare to approach!"

"Useless waste! The boat wants to come to the bottom to break, why don't you go in and check it from the bottom! There is no news of Princess Qing, what are you doing back here! Let Ben Hou find it again!"

Helian Chunshui shook off his sleeves heavily, and said angrily!

Xie Monian must be that lunatic Xie Monian!Helian Chunshui walked back and forth restlessly, he should have thought that the lunatic would not let Ah Xun go, he only obeyed He Lianqing's orders in everything, Ah Xun was not liked at all, so he didn't know how to be treated by He Lianqing now!

Helian Chunshui dropped the things in his hands, and told Rong Fu, "I have to go there, Ah Xun is still in his hands."

Rong Fu was shocked, and hurriedly pulled him, "Master Hou, you don't know how to swim, and there is a hidden reef, how do you get there!"

"Ask some water-savvy people to lead the way!" He really hated his fear of water at the moment.

"No, the bottom of the boat has already been arranged..."

Rong Fu's words reminded him that Helian Chunshui's eyes were red with anxiety, and he just kicked Rong Fu, "Then we must go, otherwise Ah Xun will..."

The sea was cold, An Zixun was beaten into the bottom of the cabin by the lunatic Xie, and the passage was guarded by him. The shining long sword was above her head. If she dared to float up alone, she would be sealed by his sword!
She had taken a few breaths, and He Lianqing was nowhere to be seen on the ground floor. The surroundings were dark, and only the crashing of the waves could be heard.

Where did that bastard Helian Qing go? ?
Taking another breath, she dived into the deep sea again. The water in the reef waters is dark blue, especially at night when the visibility is too low.Moving carefully, she only felt the coldness intensify in her body.

Too bad I have a cold at this time...

She suddenly felt that her breathing was not smooth, and she swung her feet and tried her best to go upstream, but her ankle was unintentionally wrapped around her ankle. She couldn't see clearly when she turned her head, and she couldn't struggle desperately.

The thing was very sharp, and she felt a slight pain in her skin, it must have been scratched.

An Zixun gritted her teeth and bent her body in the water, trying to pull the thing wrapped around her ankle. Suddenly, her heart hurt and her breathing became short of breath. She opened her mouth instinctively, and the sea water poured in. The feeling of choking her mouth and nose made her almost unable to breathe. Legs can't stop kicking.

Suddenly freed from the shackles, she rushed towards the surface of the water.Without much strength, she looked up at the water several meters above her head, and felt that her breathing was about to stagnate in an instant!
Suddenly something supported her back, and then hugged her waist, and then her lips were covered with something cold and soft...

The air that had almost disappeared came back again, flowing into her mouth continuously, and a wave of warmth spread into her body from the palm on her back, gradually dispelling the cold that made her almost suffocate.

Her closed pupils slowly opened, and the face of the person in front of her could not be seen clearly, only those pupils that could not be forgotten were staring at her tightly, the depths of the pupils seemed to be rolled up in circles of vortexes, as if for a long, long time In the past, when she was stared at by such a pair of eyes, she was fascinated.

By the way, I should have seen it before. In the dream, in the mirror, the man who called the baby looked through her like this...
